Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 265 The Roaring Emperor's Rare Treasures? The Dream Come True Sea Train Officially Sets Sail!
despair!despair!despair!
The leather shoes made clear footsteps as they stepped into the air.

Each strike felt like a tap on one's heartstrings.

A powerful pressure spread out, a pressure that was close to that of a transcendent monarch, but it seemed to be five secret contracts short.

That was the Crimson Agent, wearing a fanged mask, an elegant violet striped suit, and a tall, upright figure. He held the Soul-Slaying Revolver in his hand, and his eyes held an indescribable, sinister smile.

He was looking at Xia Fa and the other two.

"The Roaring Emperor is dead; that was His destiny. As for you..."

The moment He appeared, the gravitational black sphere generated by the "Myriad Stars Attracting Stars" thrown out by the Father of Myriad Stars was about to tear apart the entire underwater cave.

Suddenly, the myriad stars began to spin in place in the air, and the distorted air around them would sometimes return to normal and sometimes become distorted again, repeating endlessly.

The stones falling from the sky would fall a short distance, then immediately return to their original position, only to fall again, and then return to their original position once more, as if trapped in some kind of bizarre cycle.

Xia Fa, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, and Princess Shark were about to step into the Star Gate, but their steps seemed to freeze in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them seemed to be performing a strange dance on the spot, repeatedly taking steps.

"...is about to face the judgment of fate."

The Crimson Proxy's voice rang out, carrying an overbearing air of absolute control.

After obtaining the "Looting Key" from the heads of the two pirates on the Bluebeard ship and the Bluebeard himself, His scheme finally succeeded.
Not only did he become an extraordinary monarch who signed twenty-five secret contracts, but he also helped the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet reach fifteen secret contracts.

Otherwise, how could those two treacherous, vicious, and unruly pirate emperors be willing to work for Him?
Of course, all of this comes at a price. The secret pact between the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet is unstable and will eventually lead to an out-of-control outcome.

However, in contrast, the secret pacts signed by the Crimson Agents themselves do not require them to pay a high price.

Now, having signed a total of twenty-five secret contracts, coupled with the most bizarre and difficult-to-defend overlord-level secret contract, "Eternal Conditions," He can easily restrict Xia Fa and the other two.

Thinking this, a cruel smile appeared in the Crimson Proxy's eyes. Holding the Spirit-Destroying Revolver wrapped in vines in one hand, he was about to leap hundreds of meters to the three of them.

Whether it's Xiafa, whom even He can't see through, or the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and the Shark Princess, they all possess the strength of extraordinary monarchs. If they aren't killed, it will cause far too much trouble for His subsequent actions.

Therefore, the Crimson Executor didn't even bother to turn the "Revolver of Fate," first shooting himself in the temple before firing at the three of them.

He was prepared to... take direct action!
Om-!
But just then, a strange sound echoed throughout the entire underwater cave.

That was in the direction where Xia Fa was. There, a pitch-black star bubble "expanded" out of Xia Fa's body and instantly enveloped the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and the Shark Princess!
The next moment, the three figures simultaneously "teleported" into the Star Gate, which then folded inward like stacked cardboard and disappeared.

"This……"

The Crimson Agent froze, his face showing an unexpected look of astonishment for the first time.

He knew, of course, that Xiafa was a future mysterious emperor, and also the perfect combination of the "Silver Throne" and the "Gate of Stars," which even He envied.

Because just a few days ago, after finally having some free time, He performed a divination on the signatory of the Gate of Stars who had escaped from the Bluebeard ship, and already knew that it was Xia Fa, so He naturally guessed it at once.

However, at this moment, the Crimson Executor never expected that...
Xia Fa... was actually able to withstand the position of His twenty-five secret contracts and unleash the original secret technique of Star Bubble?

what is this?
With a "click," the Crimson Proxy sheathed the Soul-Destroying Revolver, its gaze deep and terrifying.

But slowly, He seemed to think of something, and a look of extreme curiosity appeared in His eyes, a curiosity that even concealed a hint of surprise.

"Besides continuing to absorb and contain the [Eternal Plunder], it seems we could also capture this kid and thoroughly investigate the secrets hidden within him..."

……

City of a Thousand Stars.

Fishermen's Street.

Beneath a thatched hut, in a subspace comparable to an emperor's suite, a starry sky portal suddenly appeared, layer upon layer.

Immediately following, Xia Fa, the father of ten thousand stars, and the Shark Princess stumbled out from within.

Locke, who was admiring the masterpiece, was startled and turned around.

"You...you finished so quickly? Wait, what happened to you?"

Seeing that the three of them looked quite shaken, Locke was somewhat surprised.

"N-nothing...it's just that that bastard Crimson Agent...it seems like we signed twenty-five secret contracts, and we almost fell into his hands..."

The Father of All Stars, panting, uttered an astonishing judgment.

Locke was so scared he almost lost his mind:

"Twenty-five secret contracts?! Bro, are you kidding me?"

Xia Fa, also panting, spoke up:

“No mistake… I, I have seen Patriarch Osius and Speaker Arthur. The aura of the Crimson Agent is much stronger than that of Speaker Arthur, only… only weaker than that of Patriarch Osius.”

Just now, if it weren't for the Scarlet Agent's "Conditional Eternity" pulling me directly into an eternal state of "running away in place but not moving forward," which unexpectedly triggered a burning sensation in my heart meridian, allowing me to unleash "Star Bubble"...

Xia Fa estimated that he, his cousin, and Fufreo had already been killed by the Crimson Proxy.

Upon hearing this, Locke was even more shocked:
"How did He do that? Wasn't He just as good as the Roaring Emperor and the others at our Wanxing Pirate Crew's pirate tournament before?"

Xia Fa shook his head:
"I'm not sure about that, but..."

With a flick of his wrist, the black glass ball appeared in his palm.

"...It must be closely related to this thing."

Locke calmed himself down a bit, walked over, and approached the black glass sphere up close to examine it:
"what is this?"

But before He could finish speaking, a semi-transparent shadow that looked exactly like Him was about to be pulled out of His body.

Xia Fa quickly pushed him away, and Locke was jolted out of his brief daze.

But on His face, utter terror was already evident:
"Just now, I, my soul..."

The Father of All Stars sighed:
"This thing is weird, so I'll leave it to you, Xia Fa. Anyway, I don't know what it is, and I'm not good at studying these kinds of mystical items."

Princess Shark also said in a cool tone:
"I have no objection, so you can leave it to Xia Fa."

Xia Fa actually really wanted this black glass ball, mainly because he wanted to study it carefully, but he hadn't dared to ask before.

After all, anyone with eyes can see how valuable this black glass ball is.

The bizarre corpses piled up like a small mountain on that entire mechanical disc were actually priceless, but they only served as food to provide the mysterious black energy for this black glass sphere.

This alone shows how valuable this black glass ball is.

Seeing how generous her cousin Hercules and Fufreio were, Shafa naturally stopped hiding his secrets. Of course, he hadn't intended to hide them in the first place.

Immediately, Xia Fa flipped his hand, putting away the black glass ball and taking out two bone spikes at the same time.

One of the two bone spurs was as large and white as an ivory tusk, while the other looked like a quill pulled from a porcupine.

However, everyone can tell that these are clearly two black bags.

"Let's discuss how to divide it. It's settled then, you two will choose first this time."

Xia Fa spoke, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

A smile spread across the face of the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, and a smile also appeared in the eyes of Princess Shark. For the first time, she realized that Xia Fa's character was truly impeccable.

In this way, they could no longer compete with Xia Fa. Locke took the initiative to move a round table over, and Xia Fa picked up two black bags and poured them down.

Crash-!
The round table was immediately piled high with a large number of precious and extraordinary items.

At first glance, there are more than a dozen treasures and sealed artifacts of considerable quality, each with its own unique characteristics, clearly the result of the Roaring Emperor's meticulous collection over hundreds of years.

There are also two vouchers from the Gold Miners' Guild and the Secret Guild, respectively, with face values ​​of 30 million and 25 million gold pounds.

In addition, there were more than twenty extraordinary metals and extraordinary fruits, all of which were extremely rare, surrounded by radiant light and permeated with aura.

In addition, two other things are quite eye-catching.

One of them was a silver-white sphere that looked as if it had been polished from a single piece of pure aluminum. It was perfectly round, pure and flawless.

A sacred and vast aura emanated from the silver-white sphere. If one focused their mind on the sphere, one could even hear faint prayers emanating from it, and immediately feel a sense of peace rising within.

The other item was a treasure map, but strangely, it had no specific map, no route instructions, no latitude and longitude coordinates, and only a treasure chest was engraved in the lower right corner.

"This is……!"

Xia Fa's first glance naturally fell on the treasure map.

Because it is almost exactly the same as the treasure map that the Heavenly Saint Venerable senior gave him, only the location of the treasure chest is different!

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark immediately focused their attention on the silver-white sphere, their breathing becoming rapid involuntarily.

It seemed that in their eyes, neither the vouchers worth tens of millions of gold pounds, nor the sealed treasures, nor the extraordinary fruits and metals could compare to this silver-white sphere.

Locke, however, seemed somewhat bewildered, as if he didn't recognize what this thing was and didn't understand why his older brother and the Shark Princess were suddenly so excited.

Suddenly, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark exchanged a glance, and then, without any hesitation, simultaneously reached out and took the silver-white sphere from the table.

But immediately, as if they had thought of something, they all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Xia Fa.

The meaning was very clear: they were waiting for Xia Fa to make a decision. Xia Fa, however, was somewhat bewildered:

"What, what is this thing? Why are you all suddenly so excited?"

Now, it was the Father of Ten Thousand Stars who was surprised:

"This is the Anchor Point Sphere, Shafa. Don't you recognize this kind of sacred object?"

Princess Shark also explained:
"For rulers like us who don't have a fixed following, the Anchor Orb is priceless! No wonder the Roaring Emperor was able to sign fifteen secret contracts..."

Xia Fa was even more puzzled:
"Anchor Point Sphere?"

Seeing this, Wanxing's father immediately and patiently explained to his cousin:
"The Anchor Sphere, this is... a sacred object that only the nine Great Gods could create."

"You should know that in the entire universe, there are so many star fields, countless life-bearing planets, and trillions of living beings, yet almost all of them believe in the nine true gods of the nine major churches, or rather, they regard the nine true gods as their primary faith."

"In fact, countless beings in the Protoss Realm also basically worship the Nine Gods."

“In this situation, the anchor point is actually very stable for the nine righteous gods, and it is even overflowing.”

"Therefore, in the first two millennia of the universe, the nine great gods frequently gathered their overflowing faith power to create this anchor sphere."

As the Father of Ten Thousand Stars spoke, he raised the Anchor Point Sphere, his face showing an expression as if he were seeing a priceless treasure.

"An anchor sphere represents the power of faith gathered by 100 million people over a hundred years. As long as you imprint your spirit on it, you can obtain an anchor equivalent to 100 million people for a full hundred years!"

Xia Fa was almost dumbfounded when he heard this.

Wait, are the nine great gods really that good at this?
Gather the overflowing power of faith, create anchor orbs, and then distribute them to other high-level beings that need anchors.
That's incredible...

He realized once again that the power of the nine righteous gods seemed to far exceed his imagination...

Because, even with his own knowledge of mysticism, he didn't know how to even begin to create such an anchor point sphere!
"I remember... the Kingdom of Augu only had a few hundred million people, right?"

According to Xia Fa's previous calculations, approximately one hundred million people could provide anchor points to stabilize the mind of a ruler.

Of course, this anchor point does not necessarily have to be the primary faith. After all, in the entire universe and the Astral Realm, the primary faith of almost all living beings is the Nine Great Gods.

Second faith, third faith... can also provide anchor points, but the effect will definitely be much weaker.

Sometimes, even faith may not be necessary. For example, in the Kingdom of Augus, everyone knows who "His Majesty Octavian" is, what he looks like, and what secret abilities he possesses.

In this situation, His Majesty Octavian's mind would be very stable, because this is also a kind of "anchor point".

However, the effect of such an anchor point is very weak. Therefore, the entire Augu Kingdom, with a population of approximately 300 million, only managed to support one extraordinary monarch and one ruler, namely Emperor Octavian and Marshal Gaius.

This demonstrates the value of such an anchor ball.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a priceless treasure!
“Yes, the Kingdom of Augu only has 300 million people. Such an anchor sphere can allow the Kingdom of Augu to have an additional ruler or extraordinary monarch.”

The Father of All Stars smiled, then carefully placed the pure white, silvery sphere back onto the table.

Immediately afterwards, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark looked at Xia Fa again, as if waiting for him to divide the spoils.

Xia Fa was now in a dilemma. Logically, he should have supported giving the prize to his cousin, but in this operation, his cousin and Princess Shark played roughly the same role, so this distribution would definitely be unfair.

Fortunately, I don't really need the Anchor Point Sphere for the time being.

Previously, "Levimir," who was suspected to be a drop of blood from the god of "Absolute Defense," told him that to sign the third overlord-level secret pact, he would need the faith of 100,000 people as anchor points.

On that occasion, Xia Fa used the secret technique "Eye of Faith" that Levimir had taught him to check the number of people. Xia Fa remembered it very clearly: 697,352.

Today, as he walked with the Shark Princess towards the fishermen's district, considering that he had saved tens of millions of residents of Silver Coin City yesterday, he tried using the Eye of Faith again.

Then he discovered that the number of people who believed in him had reached a staggering 570 million!
Of course, this is separate; one group consists of 726,001 people, all from the vicinity of Putte Farm, who are his followers.

The other part is the number of people who believe in "Gluttons," which he couldn't see when he had only signed two Overlord-level secret contracts, but can now see after signing three Overlord-level secret contracts.

Of course, both of these parts can be considered as part of one's faith in him.

The reason there were so many was that the entity he disguised as, "Glutton," had successively saved the residents of Star City and Silver Coin City. Star City also had many tourists who came to participate in the whale watching festival. After returning home, the news spread like wildfire.

In addition, the planet Dark, where the giant royal family is located, also has many followers of the "Gluttons". However, giants have long lifespans and only reproduce once every few decades, resulting in a total population of less than 300 million people on the entire planet of giants, providing few anchor points.

Even so, with over 570 million people... Xia Fa estimated that it should be more than enough until he signed the fifth overlord-level secret contract.

Therefore, he doesn't particularly need this anchor point ball.

Seeing that the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark were both looking at him intently, Xia Fa thought for a moment and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Can this anchor sphere be separated?"

Since this was formed by the overflowing faith of the nine righteous gods, equivalent to the faith of 100 million people for 100 years, then it should be possible to separate it, right?

Upon hearing this, both the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark were taken aback, and even Locke looked somewhat surprised.

After all, they had only heard of the "Anchor Sphere" as a sacred object, but had never actually come into contact with it.

I've never seen one, not even at the annual whale watching festivals or the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Because, at the beginning of the third ten thousand years of the universe, the nine great gods stopped responding to the prayers and sacrifices of their followers, and of course, they could no longer create orbs of faith and distribute them everywhere.

Therefore, such sacred objects are becoming increasingly rare and scarce, and it is certainly impossible for them to know whether or not the anchor sphere can be dismantled.

"Hmm...why don't you want to give it a try?"

Both the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and the Princess of the Sharks desperately need this Anchor Orb. Once they obtain it, it means they can sign six more secret contracts.

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars will become an extraordinary monarch who has signed fifteen secret contracts. Although Princess Shark only became the ruler who signed fifteen secret contracts, with the addition of the incomplete Mysterious Treasure Dance King Mask, she is equivalent to having similar strength.

If it's split in two, that's barely acceptable. Once we can divide up the Roaring Emperor's territorial waters, we should be able to gather enough anchor points for the remaining 50 million people.

Immediately, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars stepped forward and carefully picked up the holy, silvery-white sphere, his hands trembling slightly, as if afraid of accidentally dropping and shattering it.

Logically speaking, this sacred object, created by the combined faith of the nine righteous gods, should not be destroyed even with all its might, let alone smashed. It might even suffer a backlash.

But immediately, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars was stunned.

"How...how do we separate them?"

Princess Shark said calmly:
"Let me do it."

She reached out her fair and delicate hands and took the anchor ball with utmost care, but then, a few seconds later, she froze.

"This...it seems like they can't be separated at all..."

Since neither the Father of Ten Thousand Stars nor Princess Shark could succeed, Locke naturally dared not try either.

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened:
"let me try."

Princess Shark immediately and carefully gave the anchor point orb to Xia Fa.

Xia Fa held the cup in both hands, and at this moment, he could feel an immense power of faith. His spirit felt as if it had been bathed and baptized, and his heart was filled with peace and tranquility.

Then, inexplicably, his heart and spine moved simultaneously, and countless burning sensations and strange currents surged from them, drilling into the anchor sphere together. With a "pop," the anchor sphere was split in two, becoming two roughly the same size anchor spheres.

Apart from being smaller and having its faith power halved, nothing else has changed.

"Alright, here you go."

Xia Fa smiled slightly, suppressing his surprise, and handed the two smaller Anchor Point Orbs to the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and the Princess of the Sharks, respectively.

The two pirate emperors were completely stunned, and they accepted the package in disbelief.

"Cousin, how...how did you do that?"

When the Father of Ten Thousand Stars was holding the anchor point sphere, he didn't even know how to separate it. Unexpectedly, Xia Fa separated it in an instant!
Princess Shark's wine-red eyes gleamed with intense curiosity:
"Xia Fa, why do I feel like you're getting more and more mysterious?"

Xia Fa smiled:
"If I didn't have some secrets, could I sign two overlord-level secret contracts at the same time? Alright, let's continue to divide up the rest."

Since both of them had essentially chosen the Anchor Point Orb, it was naturally Xia Fa's turn. He immediately pointed to the treasure map.

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark had no objections, since neither of them knew what the treasure map was for.

Especially since there wasn't even a specific map, they naturally wouldn't refuse since Xia Fa wanted it.

Next, the three continued to divide up the Roaring Emperor's treasures accumulated over hundreds of years.
Since both the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark commanded numerous pirates, they had a great need for those sealed artifacts and treasures, as they could be bestowed upon their loyal subordinates.

Xia Fa took some extraordinary fruits, intending to plant them in his own little world.

Furthermore, each of those sealed artifacts and secret treasures is extremely valuable, starting at least in the millions of gold pounds, with some even reaching several million gold pounds.
Therefore, at the strong suggestion of the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark, in order not to let Xia Fa suffer a loss, the two of them made Xia Fa accept the two vouchers totaling 55 million gold pounds.

As a result, Xia Fa discovered that his total assets... had directly reached around 150 million gold pounds, and all of them were in cash!

Finally, the division of the spoils was completed, and all three were quite satisfied.

But just then, a black pouch in Xia Fa's sleeve moved, and a train ticket flew out of it.

Immediately afterwards, a similar train ticket flew out from the bodies of the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and the Princess of the Sharks.

A line of gold-embossed ancient Putong language characters appeared on three train tickets, and they were exactly the same.

"Toot toot toot! The Dream Come True Sea Train will set sail shortly after midnight tonight. Please take your positions in the bay outside the City of Ten Thousand Stars. Don't miss it!"

(End of this chapter)
