Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 258 Entity vs. Entity, the First Great Battle! Just how powerful is the Glutton in the Entity realm?
At that moment, Fukuzawa Ren was completely startled.

After all, if a figure suddenly appears in the secret vault of the Gold Miners' Guild, where no one should be, and is gnawing on a large chunk of raw meat, who wouldn't be startled by such an unexpected turn of events?
But then, when he saw that the figure was blurry, as if it were covered in mosaic, Fukuzawa was even more shocked, his heart almost clenching.

This is……!!!
Startled, the mercury mirror in his hand inexplicably slipped from his grasp and was about to fall onto the metal floor.

But Fu Zeren is, after all, a veteran extraordinary monarch who has signed twenty secret contracts, including one hegemon-level secret contract. What storms hasn't he weathered?
Instantly, He regained his composure, a flash of secret runes appeared in his eyes, and the mercury mirror flew back into His hand without making a sound.

Seeing that the crisis was over, cold sweat poured out of his back like a dam bursting, instantly soaking his shirt.

Fukuzawa Ren's face was filled with lingering fear, as if he had just walked on the edge of life and death.

so close……

I was just a hair's breadth away from disturbing the meal of this famous and incredibly powerful entity, "Glutton."

That said, how did Lord Glutton end up in the Gold Rush Merchant Guild's secret vault?
Moreover, how could He even eat raw meat?

and many more!

In that instant, as if realizing something, Fukuzawa Ren's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart was filled with a raging storm, as if he had been struck by countless bolts of lightning at the same time, and he almost turned to stone on the spot.

He stared incredulously at His Excellency the Glutton, who was devouring a large piece of dried pork belly, hardly believing what he was seeing.

Because that piece of pork belly was covered with densely packed and extremely neatly engraved secret text!

Furthermore, Fukuzawa Ren could even see the meaning of a very conspicuous line of cryptic writing: Swift! Wind! Chaos! Shadow!

That was none other than... the high-level secret contract, Gale and Shadow!
Lord Glutton, you actually managed to eat the Secret Contract directly?

How could he just eat Michi like that?

"Oh my God……"

Fukuzawa Ren felt as if his entire worldview had been turned upside down. You see, eating secret contracts is just as dangerous as randomly signing secret contracts; even beings of outer god rank wouldn't dare to try it!

Although He did not know how to become a true god, He had at least heard how to go from being human to being a god, and how to go from being a god to being an external god.

And the most crucial part of this process, from beginning to end, is signing the secret agreement!
Therefore, even the Outer Gods would never dare to sign secret contracts carelessly.

As for eating secret ingredients? That's pure fantasy!

But now, the facts are right before our eyes.

The Glutton, this mysterious, endless, and incredibly powerful entity, is actually... devouring the Secret Code!
In that instant, Fukuzawa Ren felt as if his brain had crashed, feeling even more incredible and unbelievable than when he had cut out the offspring of an Outer God from the belly of a traveling whale years ago.

Not only him, but also Heimdall, the patriarch of the Supreme Church founded by the true God, who was the big boss behind the Gold Miners' Guild in the mercury mirror, was completely stunned.

The mercury mirror they used for long-distance communication was called the "Mirror of Light and Shadow." It not only allowed two people to communicate in real time across dozens of inhabited planets, but it also had another function.

That is, whether it is Patriarch Heimdall or Fuzren, they can see the scene around each other through the Mirror of Light and Shadow if they wish.

This is also the origin of the name "Light and Shadow" for this treasure.

Of course, the Mirror of Light and Shadow is therefore very expensive, starting at over one million, which is more than ten times more expensive than treasures such as the Heart Envelope.

And now, Patriarch Heimdall... has also seen the scene inside the secret vault through the Mirror of Light and Shadow!
Not only Him, but also the great scholars of the High Church who were in the same scholar's hall as Patriarch Heimdall witnessed this scene in great astonishment!
Immediately, the white-bearded scholars were in an uproar.

"I...I can't believe my eyes, can I? Is this the legendary Gluttonous One? The one who could make an unknown being of god-level lose control with just a glance? He...he's actually eating the Secret Contract?!"

"You can eat secret contracts? Even a physical being wouldn't dare do that!"

“Based on my previous research, the power of any secret contract originates from the origin of the universe. In other words, whether one randomly signs a secret contract or consumes a secret contract, the extraordinary power within the body should be completely disrupted due to the influence of the origin of the universe. Apart from the nine righteous gods, no being can withstand it, but this…”

"Even the nine supreme gods, possessing unparalleled power and virtue, wouldn't recklessly consume secret contracts, would they?"

"Yes, that's why what's happening now is extremely valuable for research. Quick, write it down!"

In the scholar's hall of the Supreme Church, the great scholars with gray hair and wearing astrological robes immediately became flustered.

Some brought out their secret treasures: "photograph newspapers" or "replica cameras."
Some, however, had cryptic messages flashing in their eyes and immediately sketched the scene on draft paper.

Others stared intently at the scenes reflected in the mirror of light and shadow, trying to memorize them directly.

"Great Scholar" is a highly prestigious clergy position held by all nine major churches.

Generally speaking, those who become great scholars are all extremely knowledgeable in occult matters, have very high intelligence, and are particularly research-oriented.

On the other hand, although great scholars do not pay much attention to rank, in order to access and study those forbidden knowledge and forbidden existences, those who can become great scholars are basically angels, including even rulers and extraordinary monarchs!

Of course, for great scholars, combat strength is not important. What they value most is their expertise in various fields of occultism, such as the interpretation of ancient history and ancient scripts, the deciphering and research of cryptic texts, the study of magical equations, and so on.

This also includes research on physical entities, unknown existences, and insane gods or Outer Gods.

However, those who dare to study this kind of forbidden mysticism are basically veteran extraordinary monarchs among great scholars.

And now, a physical entity, and moreover, the recently rising star of the Wright Starfield, the "Glutton," has suddenly appeared in the Natural Starfield.

Moreover, they went directly to a secret vault of the Gold Miners' Guild on Gold Miner's Star and began to feast on the secret contract.
For these great scholars, this is hundreds or thousands of times more exciting than obtaining a long-lost ancient occult book, discovering a lost piece of ancient history, or finding a piece of a deranged limb from a god... etc.!
In fact, this is even more exciting than listening to bards tell the secrets of the nine great gods!

Although the scholar's hall was chaotic, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Your Excellency the Glutton has remained in a stable condition."

"His eating speed did not slow down at all."

"That high-level secret contract, which is suspected to be the one of Gale and Shadow, is about to be devoured by Lord Gluttony."

"Your Excellency, could you please give Fuzer a hint so that He won't move around and interfere with my sketching?"

"A quick sketch of an entity eating a secret code? Are you really not afraid of things getting out of control, Planck?"

"What does losing control matter in the face of truth? I, Planck, will take the risk. Since it's out of control anyway, it'll just be a living test subject for your 'reversing loss of control' research project! Hahaha!"

"Finished! Lord Glutton really finished that huge chunk of raw meat that contained the Swift Shadow, right? That must have been the meat of a demigod-level supernatural creature like the Blazing Boar?"

"Why do I get the feeling that you, Lord Glutton, are still not satisfied and are thoroughly enjoying yourself?"

"Your Excellency the Glutton remains in a stable state, showing no signs of losing control, although entities seem to be very difficult to control."

"Truly worthy of being called the Glutton, truly worthy of being a physical being..."

"The Glutton has struck again! My Lord, this time he took two high-level secret contracts!"

"Fuze Ren, can you hear me? Don't move! I'm sketching! Let me take a closer look... Hiss! It's actually 'Radiant Sun' and 'Sanctuary Assassin'—two high-level secret contracts!"

"These are clearly two high-level secret contracts with completely incompatible directions, how could Lord Glutton eat them?"

"My God, Lord Gluttony has actually started eating! And his condition is still very stable!"

"Quick, write it down! Write it down!"

Seeing the scholars' excited expressions, Patriarch Heimdall smiled helplessly, but his attention remained fixed on the Mirror of Light and Shadow.

The physical entity... even as a transcendent lord, He knew almost nothing about it.

Today, once the news that Lord Gluttony can even devour the Secret Code spreads, many studies and speculations about the entity will likely be overturned.

"No, what is that?"

Suddenly, Patriarch Heimdall's expression tightened, and he looked incredulously at the other side of the Mirror of Light and Shadow, which was behind Fuzawa.

Because the Mirror of Light and Shadow can reveal the scene within a radius of tens of meters around Fukuzawa Ren, Fukuzawa Ren is standing at the entrance of the secret vault, on the edge of the coast.

Therefore, Patriarch Heimdall could even see what was happening outside the secret vault.

What I saw was a vast ocean, an endless expanse of azure.

However, beneath the seemingly calm sea surface, a crimson expanse suddenly appeared, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers to the left and right, and was slowly rising, about to break through the sea level.

An aura of hunger, enough to drive one mad, emanated from beneath the sea surface. Even through the Mirror of Light, Patriarch Heimdall could clearly sense it, and even felt a faint tendency to be affected by it.

This startled Patriarch Heimdall; it was…

"The Wall of Flesh and Blood! How did this physical entity, the Wall of Flesh and Blood, end up outside this secret vault?"

In the Scholars' Hall, the great scholars who had been busy recording various data were all stunned, staring blankly at the Mirror of Light and Shadow.

A wall of flesh and blood... This entity, which is arguably one of the most vicious, indifferent, and notorious, has actually appeared?
Moreover, judging from the direction it is heading, it is actually going to devour the secret vault of the Gold Miners' Guild where Lord Glutton resides.
……

At this moment.

Gold Rush Star, Silver Coin Coast, in the secret vault.

Having just finished consuming the two high-level secret contracts, "Radiant Sun" and "Sanctuary Assassin," and still feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Xia Fa was preparing to consume two more high-level secret contracts when suddenly his spiritual intuition stirred, as if he had sensed something.

It was an atmosphere of pervasive hunger, and an indescribable stench.

The pervasive atmosphere of hunger seemed to infect all living beings, causing them to become instantly ravenously hungry, regardless of whether they had eaten enough, and they would immediately begin to eat without stopping for a moment.

In fact, Xia Fa's gaze swept across the vault, penetrating the walls that were over ten meters thick, and he immediately saw countless crabs crawling out from the cracks in the rocks on the Silver Coin Coast, fighting with each other with their pincers, trying to devour each other's bodies.

Meanwhile, not far from the beach, jellyfish and starfish intertwined, spewing out digestive fluids as they digested each other's bodies.

A sandworm emerged from the sand, entangled itself around a passing conch, and tried to devour it, but the conch instead began to gnaw on the sandworm's soft body...

Near Silver Coin Coast, all living things seemed to have gone mad, and were consumed by uncontrollable hunger!
And that fishy smell was absolutely awful, like a mixture of all the fishy smells in the world: the smell of fish, the smell of boats, the smell of iron, the smell of rotting seaweed, the smell of animal offal, the smell of the salty sea...

The fishy smell even permeated the open door of the secret vault immediately, almost killing Xia Fa's appetite.

"This is……"

All of this caused a name, or rather, the title of a physical entity, to suddenly appear in Xia Fa's mind.

A wall of flesh and blood.

Among the entities, some are relatively friendly to humans and demi-humans, such as bards, guides, and even the "gluttons" they themselves disguise.

There are also those whose attitude towards people is ambiguous. If humans and demi-humans follow their rules when they appear, they will live in peace. If they do not follow their rules, they will attack without mercy.

Among them are storytellers, gourmets, and avid tomb raiders, etc.

Of course, there are also those who are completely unfriendly to humans and demi-humans, or even ignore the existence of humans and demi-humans, and only enforce their own rules each time they appear.

For example, the House of Imagination, the Patriarch of All Poisons, etc...

And this wall of flesh and blood is one of them!

It could even be considered one of the most notorious entities!

Once the wall of flesh and blood appears, it will devour everything within tens of thousands of kilometers in front of it, and then it will leave.

Historically, many city-states have disappeared because of the appearance of physical entities like walls of flesh and blood, which directly devoured the entire city-state.

Nothing will be left behind, neither living beings nor buildings.

In a sense, the reason why superhumans are so afraid of physical entities is not only because of their unparalleled power, but also because of the tragedies caused by physical entities such as the Wall of Flesh and the House of Imagination.

But Xia Fa never expected that his random free meal at the secret vault on the Silver Coin Coast of Gold Rush Star would lead to... the appearance of a wall of flesh!

What kind of mess is this?!
Of course, Xia Fa learned exactly where he was and which faction's treasury he was in through the noisy sounds coming from the Mirror of Light and Shadow in Fu Ze Ren's hand.

Just now, when Fukuzawa Ren found him, Fukuzawa Ren was too frightened to move, so Xia Fa simply took on the role of a glutton who was enforcing the "gluttony" rule.
Pretending to completely ignore Fukuzawa Ren, he continued eating his secret contract.

On the other hand, he also overheard many sounds coming from the Mirror of Light and Shadow.

"Oh no, this is affecting me..."

Suddenly, an indescribable hunger swept over me.

Xia Fa, who was already nearly 70% full after eating five secret contracts, found himself uncontrollably hungry again.

Moreover, this hunger... is completely different from the hunger of wanting to eat a supernatural feast, and even completely different from the hunger of wanting to eat a secret food.

This feeling of hunger is more like a mixture of all kinds of hunger, whether it's a grand feast, a secret recipe, home-cooked food, street snacks, desserts... it all makes you want to eat them all.

What surprised Xia Fa even more was that these very normal foods and the secret recipes that he could eat were stimulating his appetite.

I... actually felt an overwhelming urge to eat the extraordinary metal and stone-made sealed artifacts on the shelf!
He was slightly startled, and his gaze once again passed through the thick, shadowy iron wall of the secret vault and looked toward the Silver Coin Coast.

Sure enough, in just a short while, all sorts of amphibians had eaten up all the live creatures that could be eaten nearby, and then... they actually started gnawing on the rocks and swallowing the sand!
If it were crabs eating sand, that would be one thing, but Xia Fa even saw jellyfish frantically devouring sand, even bursting their translucent, umbrella-shaped bodies while still eating!
It was an extremely bizarre scene: on the left side of the jellyfish's body, sand covered in mucus was being squeezed out continuously, while on the right side, its mouthparts were still relentlessly swallowing the golden sand.

It seemed completely beyond their control, yet they couldn't stop.

Click!Click!
Several strange sounds were heard; they were the sounds of a blue crab and a stone crab bursting open as their bodies were stretched from swallowing too much sand.

"No, this is too eerie, I have to get out of here..."

Xia Fa instinctively wanted to get up and teleport back.

Without a doubt, this wall of flesh and blood is extremely powerful and of a very high rank. It is probably among the top ten of all physical entities, almost on par with the Gourmet!

Therefore, just like when you order food from a gourmet, you can't ignore the gourmet's rules, so you end up ordering scrambled eggs with lamb's cecum.
He has now encountered a wall of flesh and blood, and is also affected by its "hunger" rule. He is gradually showing signs of wanting to eat anything he sees without regard for anything else!
What's worse, the originally extremely unpleasant fishy smell has now become a kind of tempting appetite.

It's like a ravenous wolf smelling the tempting aroma of blood, then seeing a large piece of venison right in front of it...

"Fu Ze Ren is, after all, a veteran transcendental monarch. He should be able to escape. At worst, I'll try to smooth out the effects of his loss of control and calm him down. Then he should be able to escape despite the hunger..."

Xia Fa nodded slightly. After all, Fu Zeren was a fairly impartial person who had kept the secret of killing Nerva and Long Taoyi. Helping him out and saving his life was acceptable.

Besides, I've already taken several high-level secret contracts from the Gold Miners' Guild, so consider that as payment for the meal.

Just as Xia Fa was about to get up, he suddenly seemed to sense something and heard panicked crying and footsteps running around in the distance.

When Xia Fa looked through the thick walls of the secret vault, he was stunned.

This was his first time visiting Gold Rush Star, and he was unaware of the specific distribution of cities, towns, and villages of various humans and demi-humans on the planet.

But now, he could clearly see that there were towns about a few hundred kilometers away from him, and these towns were surrounding a medium-sized city.

The total population is at least tens of millions!
Clearly, the hunger had spread to these towns and the medium-sized city, affecting many people who grabbed whatever food was around them and began to eat without restraint, their eyes bloodshot and bulging like ferocious hungry ghosts.

Many people were frightened, which is why there were sounds of terrified crying and running footsteps.

Fortunately, Xia Fa noticed that the land where the Silver Coin Coast was located, whether it was towns or medium-sized cities, was quite prosperous. After all, people relied on the sea for their livelihood, and this was also the inhabited planet where the Gold Miners' Guild headquarters was located. Therefore, those people suffering from hunger were not yet able to finish eating the surrounding food, and a more terrible situation had not yet occurred.

However, some of those people had already gone mad, even opening rice jars and stuffing handfuls of rice into their mouths, their bellies visibly swelling.

"No...we have to think of a way..."

Xia Fa admitted that he was not a particularly noble or righteous person, but he could not bear to watch tens of millions of civilians be swallowed up by a wall of flesh and blood.

There are things that can be done, and things that cannot be done.

Just like when he participated in the Desert God's Land competition at the Fog Carnival, he asked for no reward, only to earn ten million acres of farmland for the refugees of the Augu Kingdom and to give himself an explanation for what he had seen and heard.

Wow——!
Just then, the calm sea surface... was shattered.

A wall of flesh and blood, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers in length and tens of thousands of kilometers in height, rose up just like that.

This wall of flesh and blood, at first glance, appears to be an eerie scarlet color. It is actually composed entirely of flesh and blood and tendons. The wall is covered with eyeballs of all sizes, which are rolling around as if collecting information about their surroundings.

No, it wasn't just flesh and tendons. Xia Fa even saw various organs and limbs that were randomly embedded, mouths full of sharp teeth, and inexplicably protruding blood-red tumors.

Large waves crashed down from its body, but the fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish in the waves were mercilessly bitten into pieces and swallowed by those mouths full of sharp teeth.

He had to admit that this wall of flesh, as a physical entity, was even more bizarre and terrifying than the crazed arm of a god he had seen, or that grayish-white, monstrous unknown being!
Just one glance at it is enough to make you lose all your rationality.

"Indeed, they give me a similar feeling to gourmets and commentators... far less impressive than storytellers and bards..."

Through the walls of the vault, Xia Fa immediately determined that this wall of flesh and blood, as a physical entity, was indeed among the top ten strongest of all physical entities, but far from being among the top three.

Since that's the case... could I scare it away by pretending to be a "glutton"?
Just like when I first met the gourmet, an ordinary superhuman who dared to ignore the menu handed to him by the gourmet would be cooked by the gourmet if he was even a second or two too slow.

Even when gourmets are present, anyone who dares to leave their seat will be cooked instantly.

Back then, in the palace of the King of Bronze Bags, the nobleman who tried to escape out of excessive fear and then became a chubby bag left a deep impression on Xia Fa.

Perhaps it was because his disguise as a "glutton" was recognized as one of the top three in strength within the Wright Star Region and even the entire universe,
As a result, even though he was in the palace of the King of Bronze Bags at the time, he ignored the gourmet's three requests for food, and the gourmet dared not touch it each time.

Finally, I ordered my own dish, which was the incredibly delicious stir-fried lamb intestines with eggs. The gourmet chef cooked it without any annoyance, and after I finished eating, he simply pushed the cart away.

Thinking about this, Xia Fa felt even more that it was worth a try.

If things don't work out, I can just get up and teleport away.

If one's own life is in danger, then there's no point in talking about saving others; Xia Fa was clear-headed about this.

However, if that time truly comes and one has no choice but to leave, then this resentment of Xia Fa will be remembered.
If I were to actually become a true god, with only one in ten thousand chances, I would definitely kill this wall of flesh and blood and avenge the tens of millions of innocent civilians.

Thinking this, Xia Fa casually made a gesture and immediately summoned two high-level secret contracts from the metal shelf in the distance. This time, he chose the two high-level secret contracts: "Starlight Leech" and "Holy Light Chant".

There's no other reason than that these two high-level secret contracts are also carried on dried meat made from some kind of supernatural creature.

If he could eat meat, he would choose to eat meat rather than skin, tree trunks, or bone fragments.

Immediately, Xia Fa calmly began to gnaw, using this to alleviate the discomfort caused by the "hunger" rule of the wall of flesh and blood.

Then, he sat on the ebony chair that seemed to be a seal, eating the secret treatise while quietly waiting for the wall of flesh and blood to arrive.

……

The Highest Church, Hall of Scholars.

"Is there really no way to evacuate the more than 69.5 million residents of Silver Coin Coast?"

“That’s impossible! Every time the Wall of Flesh appears, not only does its ‘hunger’ rule cancel out all other rules, just like the high temperature rule in the Ghost Realm can cancel out water elemental affinity abilities, but it will also devour the large-scale group ritual teleportation array that we are trying to set up!”

"Yes, even if you're lucky and manage to set it up quickly, when the large-scale group ritual teleportation array is activated, the spatial fluctuations of the teleportation... will be absorbed and devoured by the wall of flesh and blood!"

"This... are we just going to watch nearly 70 million kind and innocent civilians be swallowed up by this damned wall of flesh and blood?"

"Sigh, what can we do..."

"Wait, Lord Gluttony... doesn't seem to be leaving!"

The meeting, which was briefly convened by Patriarch Heimdall to discuss the rescue of civilians on Silver Coast, was about to descend into utter despair.

But then, some sharp-eyed scholar shouted out...
To everyone's astonishment, inside the vault, on the sealed object called the "Glue-Stabilized Chair," the Glutton's extremely blurry figure... was still sitting calmly!

Not only did he sit there, he actually started eating two more secret contracts!

This seemed to ignite a spark of hope. The scholars exchanged glances and immediately began to discuss the matter.

Initially, everyone thought that although the Wall of Flesh was heading towards Lord Glutton's secret vault, its true target was the entire Silver Coin Coast.

This naturally includes those dozen or so towns and that medium-sized city.

As for Lord Glutton, the scholars unanimously believe that after he finishes eating the secrets he desires, he will get up and teleport away in a way that no one can track him.

Entities appearing simultaneously but each following its own rules and not interfering with each other is not uncommon in history.

For example, more than two hundred years ago, a storyteller and a gourmet once appeared together at a nobleman's banquet.

The situation was that the storyteller was telling his story, while the gourmet was asking the nobles if they wanted to order food.

After the storyteller finished telling the story and began asking questions, the food critic was politely refused by everyone who said they wouldn't order any food, so he simply pushed his cart away.

It is said that the situation was extremely strange, just as the storyteller and the gourmet could not see each other or ignored each other, each following their own "rules" and never interfering with each other from beginning to end.

Therefore, the scholars just now thought that the glutton would not be able to block the wall of flesh and blood.

But now, things seem to have taken a turn for the better.

Despite appearing to be already full, the Glutton took two more high-level secret contracts and leisurely began to eat them.

This is clearly... a test of the Wall of Flesh and Blood's attitude!
Is he looking at a wall of flesh and blood...? Do we dare disturb him while he's eating?
That's way too forceful!

"Although there are very few records of actual combat, it's not that it has never happened at all..."

"Yes, I heard that more than a thousand years ago, the puppet master fought with a fanatical tomb raider and destroyed several planets, but fortunately none of them were habitable planets."

"Yes, I heard that this mysterious forbidden zone, the 'Land of the Wandering Puppet and Burial Goods,' was formed in this way."

"Also, I don't know if you remember the news from a while ago, there was a conflict between Lord Glutton and Gourmet, and Lord Glutton won by ordering scrambled eggs with lamb intestines."

“I just happened to see it, and the Glutton even deliberately ordered sheep’s cecum, as if this entity was showing the world how to deal with gourmets.”

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember that too. Unfortunately, just a few days later, a man without an appendix met a gourmet and boldly ordered a dish of stir-fried lamb intestines with eggs. Then, the part of his intestines that should have been his appendix started bleeding profusely. No amount of supernatural methods could stop it, and he eventually bled to death."

"But in any case, Lord Gluttony seems to be very tough and not afraid of other entities at all."

"There's no other way anyway, I can only pray that Lord Gluttony will make a move..."

"Yes, that's the only way!"

As the scholars discussed this, their old eyes were filled with anticipation as they looked at the mirror of light and shadow.

To the scholars' surprise, Fukuzawa Ren, who was usually shrewd, sophisticated, and worldly-wise, instead of fleeing the moment he saw the wall of flesh and blood appear,

At this moment, he was also standing at the entrance of the secret vault, showing no intention of running away.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to observe the situation through the Mirror of Light and Shadow.

……

Beyond the Silver Coin Coast, a wall of flesh and blood, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers in length and height, began to slowly advance.

Whether it's the dark, hard reefs by the sea, the coastline that has stood firm for thousands of years despite being battered by countless waves, or even the sandy beach on the shore... all the natural landforms are instantly crushed by the gaping maw covered with sharp teeth the moment they are touched by the wall of flesh and blood.

Then, they all swallowed it up!

Those sharp teeth and large mouths could actually bite through the reefs and rocks from a distance, and then with a casual suck, they could immediately swallow the fragments of stone into their mouths.

If even the coast and beaches are like this, not to mention the various kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, jellyfish, and snails on the beach, they naturally cannot escape being devoured by the sharp teeth and gaping mouths of that wall of flesh and blood, and have no power to resist.

Even more so, accompanied by a wail, a screw the size of a truck was pulled out of thin air from the sand dozens of meters deep beneath the beach and flew involuntarily toward the wall of flesh and blood.

It was clearly a supernatural creature mutated from some kind of conch, and it had been lying underground on this beach for hundreds of years. It was just like that, being bitten to pieces alive by those sharp teeth, and swallowed up along with the gray-black shell and the white meat.

Fukuzawa Ren stood at the entrance of the secret vault. Perhaps because of the appearance of Lord Gluttony, he did not lose control of his mind in the slightest. Instead, he was troubled by the hunger emanating from the wall of flesh and blood.

However, because he had just eaten a celebratory feast, Fukuzawa Ren was tormented by hunger, but he was able to barely endure it.

He was waiting, waiting for this disaster to unfold to its final moment, while at the same time, he was extremely conflicted.

In fact, if Fukuzawa Ren wanted to escape, he certainly could, but only when the wall of flesh and blood had not yet appeared from the seabed, and only when the feeling of hunger spread.

But He could not escape.

Because, in Silver Coin City, hundreds of miles away, lived His three wives and more than a dozen children.

He knew that even as a long-established monarch, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape from the wall of flesh and blood.

In this situation, it would be even more impossible to bring his three wives and twelve children.

Poor Tom, only eighteen years old, with excellent grades, was His favorite child. He didn't want to see Tom swallowed up by the wall of flesh and blood.

There was also innocent Ruth, mischievous Baker, quiet Joey... These were all His own flesh and blood, and He really couldn't bear to leave them like this.

Not to mention His three beautiful and gentle wives.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Fukuzawa Ren gritted his teeth, turned around, and faced the figure sitting on the ebony chair, eating the secret treaty.

The figure was extremely blurry, yet it seemed to sit majestically in the depths of the universe, like a god.

thump!
Fukuzawa Ren knelt down on both knees. He was usually smooth and agreeable, with a smile that never made anyone angry. But at this moment, his expression was as resolute as a general's.

That was the look a father would show when he wanted to protect his wife and children.

"Your Excellency Glutton, I am willing to sign any contract with you, even trade my soul to you, please... save the innocent people of Silver Coin City!"

Fukuzawa Ren's voice was extremely heavy, but also extremely sincere.

Regarding whether extraordinary individuals can actually trade with physical entities in the same way they trade with unknown beings, almost no one in history has tried, nor dared to try.

After all, those who make deals with the unknown almost always die a miserable death, losing far more than they gain!
Therefore, when faced with entities that are more mysterious and powerful than the unknown, naturally no one dares to make a deal with them.

Of course, on the other hand, it is also because the unknown beings like to entice humans and demi-humans to trade with them, while the real beings have never done so.

But now, in this near-despair, driven by an intense desire to protect his family, Fukuzawa Ren... has no choice but to resort to this method.

At this moment, the great scholars in the Hall of Scholars were all stunned. Even Patriarch Heimdall was completely surprised that the usually smooth and worldly-wise Fuzawa had become so righteous.

Doing transactions with physical entities?

It feels even more terrifying than making a deal with those unknown beings from the Protoss realm who are trying to get closer to the real world!

However, to everyone's surprise, Lord Gluttony... did not respond to Fukuzawa Ren at all.

He didn't glance at Fukuzawa Ren, nor did he say anything. He continued eating the two pieces of dried meat that carried the high-level secret contract.

"As expected, it's impossible to do business with physical entities, even if you're willing to offer your soul..."

A renowned scholar sighed and then said:
"However, Fu Zeren turned out to be so reliable at crucial moments. I was wrong about him before. I thought he had long been blinded by money. Sigh..."

Another scholar said disdainfully:

"When Fuzairen said he wanted to leave the Library of Scholars to take over the management of the Gold Miners' Guild on Planet Caligi from our Supreme Church, you were the first to applaud!"

The scholar sneered:

"You mean me? You practically threw watermelon rinds and banana peels at Fukuzawa Ren when he left!"

A rather elderly, yet remarkably imposing, scholar sighed:

"So, we... all misjudged Fukuzawa Ren."

The image in the Mirror of Light and Shadow suddenly began to shake violently.

The scholars were all startled, immediately realizing what was happening.

This isn't the Mirror of Light and Shadow shaking, but rather... the wall of flesh and blood is about to engulf the secret vault, causing it to tremble violently!
Not only was the secret vault shaking, but the ground beneath it was also shaking; everything was shaking!
Countless extraordinary treasures fell from the shelves in the secret vault, including all sorts of extraordinary metals, extraordinary fruits, and sealed artifacts... They were scattered all over the ground, and some extraordinary potions shattered on the ground, spreading a strange smell.
