Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 247 Owning My Own Little World? The First Step to Becoming a True God!
Xiafa had to admit that the Patriarch was indeed a Patriarch, his level of expertise was truly high.

She was giving him a gift, but instead made it sound like she was asking him to deal with this unknown seed, as if it were something extremely difficult to handle.

This is clearly a treasure that even an unknown being who follows something akin to a god would be tempted by!
Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Wow, that's incredibly high. No wonder Osius was able to become the Patriarch."

After hearing this, he felt like he was being irresponsible by not accepting the money.

Xia Fa looked at Patriarch Osius's outstretched palms, especially at the emerald green bead between the deep palm lines, feeling the incomparably vigorous vitality within them, and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

When disguised as "Glutton," his voice was the same as whenever he appeared, like the erratic sound of a malfunctioning telegraph machine.

However, this simple syllable immediately delighted Patriarch Osius and Pope Carrot!
Your Excellency the Glutton... actually agreed to accept the gift!
Doesn't that mean that a preliminary relationship has been established?

Pope Carrot immediately said:

"Your Excellency Glutton, rest assured, we will pay the same price to the original owner of this seed, and our two churches will be responsible for the cleanup of this street. Once again, we extend our highest respect to you!"

Since the "Glutton," like the "Bard," is one of the few entities that is friendly to humans, that's why Pope Carrot said that the Glutton need not worry about whether anyone will suffer if he takes the seed.

Now, Xia Fa felt even more at ease taking it. After taking the emerald green, round seed, he remained silent, maintaining the indifference and mystery that a "physical entity" must possess.

He immediately stood up.

Zhi——!
Suddenly, the air became turbulent as if electrified, and the Glutton vanished instantly before the two transcendental lords.

Patriarch Osius and Pope Carrot exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes.

This is because even they, as extraordinary rulers, could not discern exactly how Lord Glutton had departed!

There were no spatial fluctuations, nor was it a ritual teleportation array, nor was it any sealed object or secret treasure.

It was as if Your Excellency had simply stood up and vanished into thin air.

"As expected, each entity is so powerful that it is impossible to fathom even the slightest bit..."

Patriarch Osius's face was full of emotion, and in his old eyes welled up something that was hard to tell whether it was envy or something else entirely.

……

Lushurui Hotel.

In the Emperor's Suite.

Swish!
Xia Fa emerged from the desk and chair in the bedroom, holding the emerald green, round seed in his hand.

Without much hesitation, he immediately sprinkled a handful of gold dust into the room and distorted time and space.

Even so, it couldn't stop the unknown beings in the Protoss Realm from coveting this mysterious seed; otherwise, the Gold Rush Merchant Guild would have already sprinkled Shadow Gold Dust into every whale watching house.

The best way is to seal them with special rituals and magic arrays according to the characteristics of each treasure.

Of course, Xiafa doesn't need to do that.

He immediately stood up and went into the washroom—in the emperor's suite, the washroom and bathroom were separate and quite elaborate.

The washroom was surprisingly large, covering over a hundred square meters. In the center was a spotless white porcelain washbasin and a silver mirror. Unlike the bathroom, there wasn't a single window here.

Xia Fa nodded slightly, and with a thought, the mystical living silver within his body accelerated its flow. Red mercury appeared around him, rapidly expanding and soon transforming into a perfectly round sphere.

Immediately afterwards, the flowing red silver suddenly contracted inward, transforming into an extremely solid red silver star shell.

Similarly, Xia Fa once again sprinkled some shadow gold powder into the red and silver star shell, distorting space and time.

Only then did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.

"In such a short time, and considering that I teleported back from the Vandefor Restaurant, and even after returning to the hotel, I still managed to cover up my tracks between the study and the bathroom, I shouldn't have been targeted by any other unknown entities, right?"

Xia Fa murmured to himself, then casually sat down. Immediately, a hazy chill appeared beneath him, which then condensed into an ice-blue, semi-transparent chair.

After sitting down, he shifted to a more comfortable position, mainly because he had eaten too much.

Then, he finally dared to pick up the emerald green, round seed and hold it up to his eyes to examine it.

There was no way around it; unlike the "Rhine Sigh Fruit" that had been dissected before, this mysterious seed was too full of life, almost like a living thing, and couldn't be directly put into the black bag.

Only by using this method can one be somewhat isolated from the prying eyes of the unknown, allowing oneself time to study the origin and effects of this mysterious seed with peace of mind.

As for how to conduct the research...

Xia Fa was preparing to take out a simple divination stone from the black bag and perform a divination.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and patted his shoulder.

"Nature's Bees".

As soon as he finished speaking, a fleshy lump suddenly swelled up on his shoulder, and then a bumblebee-like natural bee emerged from it.

Strangely enough, even though the meat bun was broken, Xia Fa's shoulder was completely unharmed and didn't even bleed.

"Master, um... good evening."

The bee of nature was clearly still a little groggy, having just woken up.

Perhaps because it was originally born on Xiafa's shoulder, even after it hatched, it liked to sleep on Xiafa's shoulder.

Once it becomes a "juvenile entity," it can easily blend into Xia Fa's shoulder without being noticed or harming Xia Fa.

Moreover, the bee of nature has become very sensible. Every time it goes to sleep on his shoulder, it will automatically enter a deep sleep and will not be aware of anything happening in the outside world.

In other words, it chose not to pry into any of Xiafa's secrets and to absolutely trust its master.

Xia Fa smiled slightly at this moment:
"It's so late, I woke you up to tell you it's time to go to sleep."

The bee of nature paused slightly, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind its master's words:
"Ah... ah?"

Xia Fa laughed:

"Just kidding, actually I woke you up so you could take a look at this for me."

Since their pet had practically absorbed most of the mystical knowledge of Michelle, the angelic overlord and duke of the ancient alchemical kingdom, coupled with its identity as a child,

So, Xia Fa decided to give it a try and see if the Nature Bee could recognize what it was.

The Nature Bee immediately noticed the emerald green bead in Xia Fa's palm. It tilted its little head, seemingly starting to seriously examine it.

"Huh? This is..."

Seeing that it seemed to actually be able to recognize it, Xia Fa couldn't help but feel a little pleased:
"What is it?"

The Nature Bee fluttered its small, transparent wings, and its plump body took flight, landing back on Xia Fa's shoulder.

It perched on Xiafa's shoulder, nestled close to his ear, and whispered:
"Master, I don't know what this seed is, but it seems you can absorb it directly. Then, there's about a 30% chance you'll be able to comprehend the divine combat technique of the [Nature Monarch], [Tree Realm]."

Xia Fa's pupils contracted, and a sudden surge of joy welled up inside him:

"The Tree Realm?"

The bee nodded its little head vigorously:
"Yes! It's the [Tree Realm]!"

Xia Fa slowly exhaled, calming the excitement in his heart:
"Okay, thank you. You can go back to sleep now."

"Okay, goodnight, Master!"

The bee of nature obediently agreed, then buried its plump body and quickly burrowed into Xia Fa's shoulder.

Throughout the entire process, Xia Fa did not feel any discomfort, although he still felt a little strange.

After regaining his composure, he refocused his gaze on the mysterious, round, emerald-green seed, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

To be honest, when he was training his body to break through his limits and comprehend divine battle techniques, he didn't really want the [Tree Realm] or the [Cessation of His True Body].

However, that's because he could vaguely sense that once he broke through to sixty pull-ups, he would truly obtain a divine battle technique.

With a total of thirteen divine battle techniques, including three each of [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Clown], and one each of the other seven righteous gods, he naturally wanted to draw the one most suitable for him.

But now, with the opportunity to master a new divine battle technique given away for free right in front of him, things are completely different!

No matter what, this is a divine battle strategy!

The difference between the geniuses in the earthly kingdoms of the nine righteous gods who have mastered a divine battle technique and those who haven't is practically the difference between a genius and a slacker!
For example, Tefaro, an angelic overlord in the same divine realm of the [Silver Universe], far surpasses Alexander and Avalon in status because he has mastered the divine combat technique of [Absolute Severance]. The same applies to Kazimir.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his excitement, Xia Fa knew that he needed to stay calm, especially in situations like this.

In particular, even after absorbing this mysterious seed, there is only a 30% chance of mastering the [Tree Realm].

If this fails, wouldn't that be equivalent to losing twelve million pounds?

No, it can't even be measured by price alone.

The treasure, with a 30% chance of mastering the divine battle technique [Tree Realm], would likely be snapped up and fetch an astronomical price if released to the outside world!

The price of a top-tier secret contract is generally between five million and ten million gold pounds because most people can only sign one. Of course, in many cases, even if you have the money, you can't buy it.

However, there is never too much of a divine battle strategy, whether it be angels, rulers, extraordinary monarchs... or even extraordinary great lords and mysterious emperors!

"A 30% chance..."

Xia Fa's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he threw the mysterious seed, which looked like a round, emerald green bead, into his mouth.

Gum!

He didn't chew it; instead, he swallowed it directly.

The mysterious seed, shaped like a round, emerald green bead, had just slid into his esophagus when countless mystical living silvers immediately seeped out from the capillaries on the esophageal wall and quickly enveloped it.

Xia Fa's mind gradually calmed down, and he focused all his attention on activating the mystical living silver to digest and absorb the seed.

With a "pop," the seed fell into his stomach, immediately followed by highly corrosive stomach acid, which, together with the mystical living silver, accelerated the digestion and absorption of the seed.

Soon, Xia Fa felt the incredibly vigorous life force within the mysterious seed gradually break through the shell, overflowing and merging into his entire body.

The seeds, which were originally emerald green and round, have now begun to dissolve and have shrunk by a whole size.

The vitality contained within the seed was so abundant and so rich that, in a daze, Xia Fa felt as if he could smell the scent of forest and grass.

Furthermore, one could vaguely see endless mountain ranges and lush forests.

Suddenly, the moon and stars in the sky above the mountains began to move faster, rising from the west to high altitude in an instant, and then falling back to the east.

Then, a pale light appeared in the east, followed by a sudden burst of brightness as the golden, dazzling sun rose from the east.

The sun rose rapidly into the sky, then set in the west, and then the moon and stars reappeared.

And so, night and day alternated, the moon and sun set in turn, and the mountains became bright and dark.

It seems like only a moment has passed, and countless years have gone by, and the world has changed beyond recognition.

Xia Fa was quite surprised to see that the forest, which had almost covered the entire mountain range, was beginning to shrink, with countless trees dying and animal carcasses scattered all over the ground.

It seems to be due to the drought.

The drought continues; not a drop of rain has fallen for centuries. As time goes on, the mountains gradually turn into barren hills, and the forests vanish.
The barren mountain continued to lie fallow, and soon turned into a bare, rocky mountain.

Apart from the reddish-brown mountains, there was not a single flower, tree, bird, beast, fish, or insect to be found.

"This……"

Xia Fa was stunned. Although he knew that what he was witnessing was a hallucination caused by absorbing and digesting the mysterious seed, he was puzzled as to what this hallucination was trying to express.
Suddenly, the field of vision was elevated, transforming from a mere mountain range into an entire life-bearing planet, as if looking down from the cosmos.

Xia Fa could clearly see that on this unfamiliar life-bearing planet, drought had spread completely from the barren mountains as its center.

Grasslands turned into deserts, rivers into dry channels, cities into ruins... In the end, even the sea dried up, and countless fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, whales, and other large marine creatures were buried in the silt.

As the endless years passed once more in this illusion, the entire life-bearing planet... became completely desolate, devoid of any trace of life, and it was impossible for even a single living being to survive.

Xia Fa became increasingly surprised and suspicious as he looked, but just then, a sudden change occurred!
Beyond this life-bearing planet, in the far, far depths of the universe, there was a vast, indistinct, and ineffable being, seemingly casting a gaze upon this completely barren planet.

Even in his hallucinations, Xia Fa was completely unable to describe what that great being looked like, because its existence itself was beyond what could be clearly seen with the naked eye.
That seems to have transcended the perception of the five senses; perhaps only through a higher dimension can one glimpse even a fraction of its true form.

The only feeling Xia Fa had left was that this great being... was so powerful that it seemed capable of destroying the entire universe with a wave of its hand, and at the same time, making the entire universe full of life again with a casual gesture.

That is already far beyond the power of humans and demi-humans, and even far beyond the power of gods and outward gods.

That is both a god and above the gods.

That is a supreme being of the same rank and level, comparable only to the other eight in the entire world.

That is a true god.

That is……

"【Nature Monarch】..."

For some reason, this guess popped into Xia Fa's mind.

At that very moment, a "miracle" happened!

The once barren planet suddenly sprouted countless plants and trees from its surface, and rain began to fall from the sky.

The desert was transformed into an oasis in an instant, the barren mountains became forests in a flash, and the plains became full of life, with plump fruits and wild beasts everywhere.

The sea was filled again, and countless schools of fish swam on the azure surface. Occasionally, whales would leap out of the water, spouting water with faint rainbows in their wake.

This life-bearing planet, this life-bearing planet that had been completely barren due to drought... was completely restored to life and even achieved unprecedented prosperity just because of a single glance from the [Nature Monarch]!

Snapped! ! !
Suddenly, the illusion shattered like pieces of glass.

Only Xia Fa remained, sitting on the icy chair with the red and silver star shell, his face still showing shock.

"Is this the work of the true gods...?"

It's important to understand that while powerful entities like the "Storyteller" have the ability to wipe out a planet with a flick of their wrist, they could never bring a completely barren planet back to life with a single glance like the "Nature Monarch" does!

It seems that the power of the nine true gods is on a completely different level from that of any other being in this universe or this world!
As for the [Nature Monarch]... he seems to be the weakest among the nine righteous gods, on par with the [Supreme Law].

Xia Fa let out a soft breath, calming the shock in his heart.

If the [Nature Monarch] could still respond to the prayers of his followers in the third ten thousand years of the universe, which is now, then the Kingdom of Augu would probably never have experienced a famine, and the planet Dark, where the giants live, would not have lacked water.

Even in the sacred land of the desert during the Fog Carnival, people wouldn't risk their lives for those ten million acres of resource land.

At the same time, a question also popped into Xia Fa's mind.

That is, now that the illusion has been seen, how exactly should one comprehend the divine combat technique of the [Tree Realm]?
He briefly sensed his stomach and was even more alarmed.

This is because that mysterious, round, emerald-green seed... has actually been completely digested and absorbed by itself!
"Is it all absorbed already?"

Xia Fa was somewhat taken aback. Could it be that he had failed to comprehend it this time?

Although the probability was only 30% to begin with...

He was about to get up, but as soon as his hands touched the icy armrests of the chair, a strange scene unfolded.

Suddenly, countless plant roots sprouted from his palm. The off-white roots, with many tendrils, burrowed into the icy handrail.

Immediately afterwards, with a "snap," the root broke off on its own, and the ice-like chair armrests began to be absorbed by the root, seemingly being used as nutrients.

Then, tender shoots sprouted from these rhizomes, which quickly grew into sturdy shrubs with large, drooping leaves, and were about to bear fruit.

"This……"

Xia Fa stared at this scene in astonishment, then suddenly realized something. Could it be... that while he was watching that illusion, he had unknowingly mastered the divine combat technique of [Tree Realm]?
Moreover, the process of mastering it was probably too fast and too smooth, and he was so immersed in the miracle created by the gaze of the righteous god [Nature Monarch] that he didn't notice anything at all.

After calming himself down a bit, Xia Fa was about to use the [Tree Realm] to get a few apples to eat.

But suddenly, a thought struck him, as if he had sensed something.

The bees of nature were also awakened from their deep slumber and immediately crawled out from Xiafa's shoulder.

"Master, I, I..."

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened:
"You feel it too?"

The bee of nature nodded vigorously:

"Yes, Master, have you forgotten my ability? The more something is related to nature, the clearer I perceive it!"

Xia Fa smiled slightly:
"Okay, let me give it a try."

As he spoke, he casually waved his hand.

Inside the red and silver star shell, countless thick vines suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Xia Fa.

These vines intertwined like snakes, forming a shuttle-shaped door!

With another thought, Xia Fa caused the shuttle-shaped door to open to both sides.

He and the Bee of Nature eagerly peered inside, both of them overjoyed!
Inside the shuttle-shaped vine gate lay an island, bathed in sunlight, with the azure sea undulating around it.

The island was enormous; in terms of area alone, it could be described as vast and boundless, almost comparable to the size of the City of Ten Thousand Stars or the City of Augustus.

The island's edge is lined with golden sandy beaches, while its center is a vast tropical rainforest where oil palms, bromeliads, sal trees, rubber trees, and other trees commonly found in tropical rainforests grow lushly and vibrantly.

In the tropical rainforest, one can vaguely see elephants, lions, tigers, wolves, elk, water buffalo, tree frogs, and other creatures leaping about.

"Wait, aren't lions from the grasslands? How come there are some in this rainforest?"

The question flashed through Xia Fa's mind, but he didn't dwell on it.

Because at this moment, an indescribable joy was filling his entire chest.

He could truly feel... that the little world inside the vine gate... belonged only to him!
It seems this is because he has mastered the divine combat technique of the [Tree Realm], and possesses a small world of his own!

I wonder if Kazimierz, who also controls the [Tree Realm], also has such a small world.

Xia Fa decided to subtly inquire about it tomorrow.

Composing himself, filled with excitement and trepidation, Xia Fa, with the Nature Bee already perched on his shoulder, stepped through the vine gate.

……

at the same time.

Barron's Ocean, a remote sea area.

This sea area is usually deserted, for no other reason than that it is too far away from the settlements of the worm islands and other sea people.

This has resulted in the fact that although there is an island in this sea area that is as large as the City of Ten Thousand Stars, and the island is covered with a tropical rainforest, rich in both wild animals and fruits, no one comes here.

Of course, given that Caligari's area is comparable to a supernova, both humans and demi-humans are far too insignificant compared to it.
This has resulted in the Baron Ocean being incredibly vast for humans and demi-humans, with many areas still unexplored and undeveloped to this day.

Therefore, it's normal that no one has ever been to this sea area or this island.

Just then, on the golden sandy beach at the edge of the island, a figure seemed about to break through the air and step in.

In that instant, with a "whoosh," the large island, along with the entire sea area... vanished on the spot!

It's as if a part of the world has been directly "cut out".
The original location of this large island and the surrounding sea area is now just a purplish-black void, with wisps of the aura of the Star Spirit Realm flowing through it.

High above in the heavens, two distinct gazes, traversing countless distances from the only two earthly divine kingdoms on the planet Caligia, looked toward this place.

Those were two grand, majestic, and supreme gazes.

It's as if you're looking down from an extremely high dimension, able to easily see through any secret in the world.

The two pairs of eyes first looked at the sea area that had been hollowed out to the point of being empty, and then exchanged glances with each other.

Those eyes held a mixture of expectation and worry, and finally, both gazes turned to the hollowed-out void.

Wow!
It seemed that just because of those two gazes, the void was immediately filled and became part of the real world again. Then, the waves surged and the sea was reborn.

Then, in the center of the sea, a large island that looks exactly the same at first glance but has many differences in the details slowly emerged.

The beach remains, the rainforest remains, but the wild animals and insects in the rainforest, as well as the various marine creatures in this sea, have developed differences in individual life forms.

It's like... they instantly selected similar-looking creatures from other parts of the universe and placed them here.

Immediately afterwards, both gazes withdrew simultaneously, and the divine kingdom on earth fell silent once more.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore, and the distant, resonant cry of whales echoing in the night sky, made it seem as if the "miracle" had never happened.

……

pat!

Wearing brown suede boots on the soft sand, Xia Fa gazed into the distance, taking in the breathtaking island scenery.

Behind them, the vine gate slowly closed and completely disappeared into the air.

The reason he was so certain that this was an independent "small world," and not some island in the real world that he had been transported to through the vine gate, was because it was nighttime here, but daytime.

However, instead of the sun hanging in the sky, there was only intense light, almost as bright as the sun shining down.

"If everyone who masters the divine combat technique of [Tree Realm] could possess such an independent small world, wouldn't [Tree Realm] be considered the most cost-effective divine combat technique?"

Xia Fa thought to himself jokingly, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

After all, this is my own little world, my own!

This is completely different from the "subspace" that angels and beings of supreme status and above can create.

The subspace is essentially just an empty space that can never develop into such a small world. Even if various animals and plants are continuously thrown into it, those animals and plants will not last long and will eventually die.

Even if a person stays in the subspace for a long time, they will be affected to some extent.

The reason for this is that the subspace has not even a trace of the "origin" of the world, let alone the ability to connect with the origin of the universe.

However, Xia Fa had seen these independent little worlds in books on mysticism; they all possessed at least a wisp of the world's origin and could directly connect with the origin of the universe!

In this situation, the small world can function like a normal world, where living beings can reproduce and thrive on their own, continuously growing stronger.

Even the small world itself seems to have ways to expand.

In a sense, once one becomes a god, it is equivalent to becoming the only "god" in this small world!
On the other hand, this independent little world can also almost completely isolate it from the prying eyes and divination of most powerful beings.

In other words, in the small world, one is almost absolutely safe and can do whatever one wants.

Unless someone can find the coordinates of their little world in the Protoss realm and destroy it along with them.

"So, the primary goal now... is to establish my own base in this small world?"

Xia Fa thought excitedly that once the base was established, he would have a real "home"—a home that was absolutely safe.

As for whether this base will be expanded into a village, then developed into a town, then into a city... and ultimately possess an entire civilization that belongs to itself and has its own beliefs.

Let's just treat this place as a place to relax and recuperate for now.

Xia Fa felt that they could consider it later.

For some reason, he thought of the nested ghost realm in the underground cave, the civilization created by the entire giant jaw beast in that nested ghost realm, and the Outer God they worshipped who was bound outside the Ancient Mithril Gate.

Perhaps that Outer God played the game in this way, but perhaps He failed to master the divine combat technique of the [Nature Monarch] [Tree Realm] and did not possess a small world, which resulted in Him being able to develop an entire civilization in this way within a nested, bizarre realm.

That's why they were targeted by the giant, heavily armored cavalrymen carrying golden halberds, and suffered a devastating blow.

However, in my own little world, I don't need to worry too much about this. It's very difficult for anyone to actually pinpoint the coordinates and find me in the almost infinitely large Protoss Realm.

The difficulty was almost like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Master, Master, this place is wonderful!"

The bees of nature were now completely excited, their plump bodies flying back and forth on the beach, buzzing loudly.

"I could live here forever! When I'm thirsty, I can eat fruit from the rainforest, and when I'm hungry, I can lie on the beach and sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa couldn't help but chuckle:

"Really? Then you can stay here whenever you want and use your abilities to make this rainforest as lush and prosperous as possible."

The bee of nature exclaimed happily:
"Really? Thank you, Master!"

But then it suddenly remembered something and became reluctant to leave:
"But, Master, what should I do when I miss you?"

Xia Fa smiled slightly:
"That's easy, come here."

The Nature Bee immediately buzzed and flew to him. Xia Fa casually pressed his hand on its plump body, and a vine mark appeared and disappeared into its body.

"With this mark, you can summon the vine gate at any time, open it, and enter this little world. But don't do it while I'm asleep."

That mark, which Xia Fa named the "Tree Realm Mark," served exactly as he described.

However, when a human or other being with the Tree Realm Mark tries to enter their little world, they will immediately sense it.

Then, the vine gate will only open with your consent.

"Yes, Master! Don't worry, Master, I will definitely only go in and out of here during the day!"

The bee responded happily, but then a hint of embarrassment appeared in its big, dark eyes:
"Master, may I...can I go play in the rainforest first? To get acquainted with the creatures there. I sense that there are a few powerful supernatural beings in there."

Xia Fa smiled and waved his hand:
"Go ahead, call me if you're in danger."

Unless those supernatural beings possess power surpassing that of extraordinary monarchs, Xiafa naturally has nothing to fear.

As the bumblebee-like bee buzzed towards the rainforest, Xia Fa watched its retreating figure, lost in thought.

Now that I'm in my own little world, it seems that many of the treasures that I used to handle with caution can now be used?

That's right, it's that ancient fruit, "Rhine Sigh Fruit," and that cherry-sized Secret Titanium of Whispers of the Stars.

Xia Fa understood that when he absorbed the Whispering Stars Secret Titanium, there probably wouldn't be any noticeable reaction yet.

However, if someone were to try to eat that Fruit of the Rhine Sigh, it would definitely cause a huge commotion!

After all, that's an ancient fruit that can attract a mad god, and it can allow me to master another original secret technique of the Silver Throne!

It would be strange if there was no reaction after eating it.

In fact, Xia Fa's attempt to absorb that mysterious seed from the outside world was already a risky undertaking.
After all, once he figured out its effects and realized it was harmless, he either had to stay in the Red Silver Star shell with that mysterious seed to avoid attracting the attention of other unknown beings, or he would have to eat it.

Even if you hide it away secretly, it's not safe.

Fortunately, absorbing that mysterious seed did not cause much of a commotion.

But when you eat the Fruit of the Rhine Sighs... it will definitely be different, and Xia Fa is very clear about that.

Moreover, when I ate the Fruit of the Rhine Sigh, I was probably in a rather weak state, which would be very dangerous for me in the outside world.

But now, in my own little world, it's different.

Thinking this, Xia Fa clenched his fist in the air and took out the Whispering Stars Secret Titanium from the Black Pouch.

Gazing at the whispering stars that resembled a miniature star, and the even smaller planets swirling around them, Xia Fa indeed felt that his body was beginning to show a faint tendency to become star-like again.

Without hesitation, he entered the state of "Starlight Body" with a thought.

Suddenly, Xia Fa's body transformed into a humanoid form resembling a purplish-black starry sky, with countless stars shining within it, as if the entire universe had been condensed.

It's like cutting out a human figure from the cosmos.

Xia Fa suddenly realized that he rarely seemed to enter the Starshine Body state alone.

After all, after signing the overlord-level secret contract of the Gate of Stars, he easily fused his "Starry Body" with the "Silver Throne," which meant that he would directly enter the "Starry Silver Throne" state every time afterward.

At this moment, Xia Fa raised his hands, looking at his purplish-black palms and the deep "starry sky" within them, feeling quite astonished.

Without much delay, once he entered his Starshine Body state, he only had a slight thought in his mind before he immediately absorbed the cherry-sized Whispering Titanium.

Then, the miniature star-shaped whispering secret titanium flew directly into his purplish-black body, which was as deep as the universe.

Immediately, after a slight flash, it transformed into one of the stars.

"That'll be fine?"

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised. Compared to absorbing the pure white light-chasing silver crystal, this was far too mild!

However, recalling how gentle he had been each time he mastered a new secret ability of the Gate of Stars, Xia Fa understood a bit more.

He silently began to sense the enhancement he had gained from absorbing the Secret Titanium of the Whispers of the Stars.

"Hmm... the abilities of 'Starlight,' 'Gravity,' 'Flash,' 'Exile,' and 'Sealing' within Starlight's body have each increased by about twenty percent..."

"In other words, if I use the 'Star Silver Flash' fusion ability now, not only will I be faster, but I can also flash a greater distance."

"As for 'exile' and 'seal', although my true rank is only wolf-level, it seems that I can now try to exile and seal beings with angelic rank."

"The secret ability of time concealment has extended the time limit hidden in the time rift by about three minutes..."

"The total amount of matter attracted by the 'All-Encompassing Star-Attracting Energy' has increased by more than 50,000 tons."

"Star Destruction Silver, Star Seal, Crimson Silver Star Shell... these fusion abilities have also been significantly enhanced."

Xia Fa sensed this and his eyes lit up.

In summary, because of absorbing a cherry-sized piece of Star Whisper Mystic Titanium, his strength... has increased by about 15 percent!
Unfortunately, after signing the "Mysterious Singularity" contract, a top-tier secret agreement, he has never faced any ruler or even a transcendent monarch head-on. Otherwise, he would probably have been able to make a much more direct comparison.

"It has to be sacred metal. No need for arduous cultivation, no need for painstaking research and development of secret abilities, just one absorption and there's an immediate, visible improvement..."

Xia Fa sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling an even stronger longing for the pure white, light-traveling silver he needed most.

By the way, let's check on Benedict's training later. We're counting on her for the Pure White Light-Chasing Silver.

Of course, I really need the Dreamy Deep Dive Shadow Gold myself. Fortunately, as long as nothing goes wrong, I can get a lychee-sized one as soon as the whale watching event ends tomorrow!
Xia Fa was very much looking forward to seeing what changes and improvements the absorption of such a large piece of Dream Deep-Diving Shadow Gold would bring to his "Mystic Singularity".

"Next..."

With a slight thought, Xia Fa took out the translucent, egg-yolk-colored "Rhine Sigh Fruit".

The silver-white metallic humanoid figure inside the fruit, only a dozen centimeters tall, was almost identical to the one he had when he first entered the Silver Throne state, demonstrating the special nature of this ancient fruit.

Xia Fa felt inexplicably uneasy and nervous.

The Silver Throne... has over a thousand primal techniques, and I have personally experienced the power of the primal technique [Judgment Silver Sun].
