Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 271 A Great Success! The Treasure Map is Finally Complete!
At that moment, the entire place, both inside and outside, fell silent.

Tefaro first looked at Shafa, and then at the doll girl and the catgirl.

Immediately, He pondered for a moment, then revealed an expression of sudden realization, giving Xia Fa a "you know what I mean" look, which even carried a hint of appreciation and affirmation.

The clown who was startled was stunned for a moment. After confirming that this was indeed Xia Fa's bedroom and that there were indeed two girls, one big and one small, in the bedroom, and that they were a doll girl and a cat girl, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the Gilgamesh family had already arranged a fiancée for the Joker of Laughter, though they hadn't met yet; she was said to be a saint from the Absolute Church.

Therefore, since the Clown of Laughter's own marriage was settled, his biggest worry was his cousin Xia Fa's marriage.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste if the noble and powerful bloodline of the Gilgamesh family couldn't be passed down?
Previously, the clown had been observing and discovered that his cousin Xia Fa seemed completely uninterested in dating and didn't even have a woman around him.

He was worried back then, but now, the Laughing Clown realizes...

My cousin is such a ladies' man!
Moreover, he's lost interest in humans and gone off to find doll girls and catgirls!

As for the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Locke, the two brothers exchanged a glance, both showing genuine pride and honor for Xia Fa. They then turned their heads together, nodded slightly to Xia Fa in affirmation, and displayed extremely appreciative smiles.

Only Princess Shark quietly puffed out her cheeks, glancing at Benedict and Meowkor as if secretly comparing them, then looked down at her own figure.

Seeing the meaningful expressions on everyone's faces, Xia Fa suddenly felt like he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River...

I haven't done anything right!

What's with that meaningful smile from Tefaro? And what are Hercules and Locke's inexplicably proud about?

By the way, my cousin's expression when he laughed at the clown was also strange. Why did he look so relieved? Could it be that he was worried he didn't like women?

It seems only Princess Shark's eyes are normal... oh wait, why does Princess Shark seem a little sulky...?

"Cough cough."

Xia Fa coughed twice, breaking the terrible silence and revealing what he thought was a composed smile:
"Let me introduce you all. This is my doll girl, Benedict, and this is my newly adopted catgirl, Nyokuru."

Beneath and Meowkor were both very naive and clearly didn't sense the strange atmosphere at all, staring blankly at the crowd at the door.

Beneath raised her fair, delicate arm and waved to the crowd:
Hello everyone! I'm Benny!

After this interruption, Miao Kelu had forgotten about fainting after successfully recognizing Xia Fa as her master. She simply put her hands on her hips and looked at everyone with great enthusiasm:

"Hello everyone, this is Meowkor. Hehe, it seems you are my master's friends. From now on, you are my friends, Meowkor. Please take good care of me!"

The two girls' innocence was so utterly undisguised that everyone's gaze towards Xia Fa turned slightly wicked, as if they suspected he had kidnapped these two naive girls from somewhere.

Xia Fa was increasingly at a loss for words, and could only turn to the two girls and instruct them:
"You guys go ahead and have fun, I need to discuss something with my friends."

Benedict answered sweetly:

"it is good!"

However, as soon as she turned around, her tall figure stopped, and she turned back with a hint of reluctance:

"Xia Fa, come over soon."

After all, she hadn't seen Xia Fa for so long, and she couldn't bear to spend just a little while with him.

Miao Kelu, however, was carefree. She cheerfully told Xia Fa, "See you later, Master," and then ran to the soft bed in the bedroom, where she pounced on it.

You can't find such a nice bed in the Cat Girl's House.

Xiafa agreed to Benes's request, then looked at Miaokelu's retreating figure, shook his head with a smile, and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Click.

The moment the door closed, Tefalo rushed over, put his arm around Xiafa's shoulder, and looked on with a gossipy expression:
"Xia Fa, you're something else! I was wondering why you never went to places like that in the City of Ten Thousand Stars. Turns out you've been secretly keeping a doll girl and a catgirl around!"

The clown who was amazed exclaimed:

"To be honest, cousin, I'm relieved. Anyway, there's a precedent in our family of marrying cat girls, so you don't need to worry. Great-grandfather won't stop it."

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars laughed heartily from the side:

"I never would have guessed, cousin, you usually know how to enjoy life so much! You're really hiding your true abilities."

Locke sighed:

"Cousin, I'm starting to envy you more and more."

Princess Shark flew past Xiafa with her arms crossed, giving him a cryptic glance and speaking in a cold tone:

"Xia Fa, I really didn't expect this. I thought you had never been in a relationship before."

Xia Fa was practically on the verge of tears, and helplessly smiled:
"You guys are really... well, I won't explain anymore, it'll probably only make things worse."

He abruptly ended the conversation, turning to look at Tefalo and the Laughing Clown. His eyes lit up, especially after sensing the grand, majestic aura of extraordinary monarchs emanating from them.

"Wow, you two broke through ahead of schedule?"

The clown who was startled and laughed nodded first, then grinned and said:

"Yes, yes! The main reason is that the Dream Come True Sea Train is going to start tonight, so I forced my way up. Originally, this might have caused the anchor point to be unstable, but this hidden danger was ultimately resolved by my great-grandfather."

Xia Fa wanted to ask how it was solved, but then realized something and didn't ask any further.

Because, as one can imagine, a genius like the Laughing Clown, who spends his days cultivating in the earthly realm of gods, certainly wouldn't have time to spread his faith and establish anchor points in various parts of the universe.

Therefore, it is highly likely that His Great-Grandfather gave Him an anchor point sphere, which is both stable and convenient.

The only drawback is that it can only be used for one hundred years.

Tefaro smiled nonchalantly, clearly in a good mood after breaking through to the level of a transcendent monarch:

"I'm pretty much the same. In short, I've had enough to participate in this Dream Come True sea train."

The father of Wanxing remarked with emotion:

“Cousin, with these two brothers around, it feels like the era of your youth is about to begin.”

Clearly, they had already gotten to know each other on the way here, which saved Xia Fa the trouble of introducing them.

Xia Fa smiled and said:
“Cousin, you’re still young, aren’t you? Extraordinary monarchs can live for thousands of years, and you’re not even a few hundred years old.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Tefaro spoke first, getting to the point.

"Regarding the 24-hour survival challenge of the Dream Come True Sea Train, I've heard a little-known fact..."

The clown nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I've also heard a rumor, and it seems to be quite accurate."

This piqued the curiosity of Xia Fa, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, and the others. They looked at the two who had become extraordinary monarchs, waiting for them to continue.

Tefal and the Laughing Clown exchanged glances and looked at each other. Finally, Tefal spoke first:
"Although the 24-hour survival challenge of the Dream Come True Sea Train is completely random each time, and there is no pattern to be found, there are still some clues that can be gleaned."

The clown who made everyone laugh agreed:
"Yes, for example, the 24-hour survival challenge on the Dream Come True sea train on Panridas fifty years ago, which involved sending everyone into a tropical rainforest and having them fend for themselves."

He paused, then continued:
"That survival challenge was limited to one person only, and you couldn't even cooperate with others. If you encountered other passengers, you either had to silently avoid them or fight each other."

"That rainforest is obviously not simple either. It is often inhabited by supernatural beings with the status of angels or rulers. One theory is that it was searched all over the universe by the Dream Come True sea train over the past fifty years."

"In fact, in several places in that rainforest, supernatural creatures with power close to that of gods have appeared."

"Even the many extraordinary plants inside are exceptionally powerful. They not only lure people with extraordinary fruits, then entangle and devour them, but also spread various pollens that cause people to fall asleep or lose control."

"Finally, after 24 hours, whoever hunts the most supernatural creatures, survives in the best condition, and suffers the fewest injuries will be the sole winner."

"As for the others, as long as they survive—that is, the survivors—they will all receive a reward related to their dreams, but it will be far less than what the winners receive."

Hearing this, Xia Fa narrowed his eyes and pondered.

Panridas is the planet where the earthly kingdom of the true god [Paradox Joker] resides. In terms of size and prosperity, it is only slightly inferior to Caligi.

As for the information about the 24-hour survival challenge of the Dream Come True sea train fifty years ago, he had inquired about it before, but it was far less detailed than what the Laughing Clown had said.

However, a rainforest teeming with angels and sovereign beings, and even supernatural creatures approaching divine status... such a place truly deserves to be called a survival challenge.

Even for veteran extraordinary monarchs, a single misstep could lead to their death.

Tefaro then interjected:
"The 24-hour survival challenge a hundred years ago took place in an abandoned hospital filled with black fog, where passengers were allowed to team up in groups of three to deal with various monsters that would suddenly attack from the fog."

"As for the final judging criteria, it's the same: the one who takes the fewest injuries and kills the most monsters will be the sole winner, while the others who survive will be considered survivors."

"Then there was that time 150 years ago, it seemed to be on an ice field, where passengers had to fish by chiseling through the ice while dodging huge monsters that might appear from under the ice at any moment. Once those monsters opened their mouths to devour, even veteran transcendent monarchs might not be able to withstand them. And that time, passengers were also limited to one person at a time."

Hearing this, Xia Fa understood:

"You mean, this 24-hour survival challenge on the Dream Come True sea train, although the content of the challenge is unknown, is very likely... to be in the form of teams?"

Tefal snapped his fingers:

“Smart, that’s it. Although there have been instances of solo challenges every fifty years before, this time there’s a good chance it will be a team challenge. I just don’t know the exact number of people per team.”

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars then laughed loudly and said:
"If there are three people, then the three of you can be a team. If there are five people, we'll form another team. If there are only two people, then we'll think about it later," Xia Fa said thoughtfully.
"Hmm, let's see what else we have besides this crucial piece of information."

After thinking for a moment, Tefaro finally spoke:

"Our Silver Church's Mysterious Emperor, Lord Dionysius, seems to have failed to obtain a ticket, so He will not be participating this time. However, He was already preparing how to ensure He could obtain the [Eternal Certificate], and this move is most likely to eliminate any potential risks."

The clown who made everyone laugh agreed:
“That’s right. If Lord Dionysius were injured on the Dream Come True sea train, which would affect His competition for the Eternal Proof ten days later, it would be a huge loss for Him. So even though the temptation of the Dream Come True was great, He ultimately resisted.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa could be fairly certain of one thing.

That is, there are probably no "certificates of eternity" on the Dream Come True sea train, which is why Dionysius did not choose to go.

However, based on the information he gathered himself and the conversations they had had, it seemed that if he could become the sole winner, it wouldn't be difficult to make a wish for a top-tier secret contract on the Dream Come True sea train.

The main problem is that many people are completely unaware of the existence of the [Miracle Fantasy] Overlord-level contract, so no one has ever tried it. However, the sole winner did manage to successfully make a wish for another Overlord-level contract.

Xia Fa knew that, regardless of the 24-hour survival challenge of the Dream Come True Sea Train, there were only winners and survivors.

There is only one winner, so he is also called the "sole winner". The probability of the reward he wishes for being close to his dream is also the highest.

As for the survivors, anyone who survives the survival challenge is a survivor, but the rewards they receive are far from what they dream of.

As for the evaluation criteria, in addition to survival status, degree of injury, and number of monsters or enemies killed, they are also based on each passenger's overall performance.

"Hmm... I understand. I'll take this time to rest and recuperate, and then we can set off together tonight?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Fa looked up and offered his suggestion.

At this, Tefalo and the others once again showed knowing expressions, smiling meaningfully, and gestured for Xia Fa to hurry up.

However, Tefalo and the Laughing Clown needed to further solidify their anchor points and develop the secret abilities of their respective overlord-level secret contracts, so Shafa's suggestion was exactly what they were thinking.

The Father of Ten Thousand Stars also agreed, saying that he needed to further practice the critical loss of control, and that he absolutely had to master it.

As for Princess Shark, she remained silent throughout, listening quietly. Suddenly, she looked at Xia Fa and earnestly instructed him:
"Xia Fa, you need to take care of yourself, especially tonight is the start of the Dream Come True sea train. Don't overwork yourself."

After saying this nonsensical thing, she also chose a guest room and flew inside.

Xia Fa scratched his head, somewhat bewildered, and it took him a while to understand the deeper meaning behind Princess Shark's words. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Actually, there's really nothing between him, Benedict, and Meowkor... mainly because he's only known Benedict for less than a month, and he's only just met Meowkor.

However, Xia Fa didn't want to explain further, so he went back to his bedroom after everyone else had returned to their rooms.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Benedict and Meowkor sitting on the bed, each holding a gem shark and gnawing on it.

Benedict's gem shark was turquoise, which made her little face turn white from the cold as she gnawed on it, but she still couldn't stop eating it.

Miao Kelu's Gem Shark was bright red and so spicy that she gasped for breath, but once the spiciness subsided slightly, she continued eating.

These supernatural creatures, known as gem sharks, have a penchant for searching for extraordinary plants on the ocean floor to feed on.
Furthermore, lemon-colored gem sharks prefer sour flavors, blue-green gem sharks prefer mint or iced flavors, and bright red gem sharks prefer spicy flavors... This is why they have different tastes after being dried into extraordinary dried fish.

However, they are said to be quite delicious, and smooth and chewy, making them a favorite of doll girls, catgirls, siren and other humanoid supernatural beings.

"Xia Fa, are you done talking?"

Seeing Xia Fa enter, Benedict immediately swallowed the remaining half of the gem shark in her hand, shivering from the cold, but then ran over and hugged him again.

"Hey hey, you've worked hard! Come see the gift I brought back for you!"

As she spoke, Benedict waved her delicate, snow-white hand on the tea table, and countless precious lights fell from the sky, landing on the table.

At the same time, transparent vortexes appeared in the surrounding air, rotating counterclockwise.

Xia Fa immediately sensed that the flow of space and time in this bedroom had been greatly disrupted, and the degree of isolation was no less than that inside his Red Silver Star Shell!

"This is what my teacher taught me: always be aware of counter-divination and counter-spying. How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

Benedict noticed Shafa's expression and then gave a smug explanation.

Xia Fa withdrew his gaze and smiled:

"Indeed impressive."

Even so, he still felt a little worried.

Because these constantly counter-clockwise rotating vortexes always reminded him of the "reversal" power that Benedict used against the pure silver giant.

But now is not the time to investigate this, since even Beneath herself doesn't know what's going on, and neither has Heatherbury, the former Queen of the Dolls.

Xia Fa decided to observe Benedict for a while, while gathering as much relevant information as possible, and then investigate slowly.

Meowkor stretched out her arms for balance and trotted over in a flash.

Her fluffy cat tail curled up, accompanied by a tinkling sound, and then she took down a small golden bell and shook it on the table.

Instantly, countless rays of light fell from the golden bell, almost piling up the tea table into a small mountain.

“Master, this is a treasure that my sister Beneath and I found in the lair of the pure silver giants. We each took half, and we’re giving it all to you!”

Miao Ke Lu spoke up, then thought for a moment and handed the small golden bell in her palm to Xia Fa.

"And this is our catgirl clan's secret treasure, the Golden Bell. Hmm... I overheard you talking about a survival challenge outside the door. I'll give this to you, Master, so you'll be safer then!"

Xia Fa was completely taken aback when Miao Kelu actually gave him the golden bell.

Although I know that Nyakoro is very naive and innocent, that's another matter.

He did need the mysterious treasure, especially the defensive kind, but Xia Fa couldn't just take it like that. So he smiled and said:
"Consider it a loan. I'll pay you back when I get back this time."

Unexpectedly, Nyako waved her hand magnanimously:
"Hey, I've already acknowledged you as my master, so what's mine is yours. Why are you being so polite with me? Just take it."

Xia Fa chuckled slightly:

"No matter what, this is one of the sacred objects of your catgirl clan. So, I'll borrow it for now and return it to you when I no longer need it."

Seeing his resolute tone, Miao Kelu didn't want to argue with him. After all, ever since she recognized Xia Fa as her master, she had always kept in mind that Xia Fa was her master, so of course she had to listen to her master.

"By the way, Master, after we signed the contract, I..."

A look of reminiscence flickered in Miao Ke's open-air blue eyes:
"Although I was unconscious at the time, I did see some... um... very strange, revelations?"

She clearly didn't know much about divination and esoteric knowledge, so she ended with an uncertain tone.

Xia Fa pondered for a moment and said:
"Tell me whatever you find insightful, feel free to speak your mind."

Meowko said:

"Okay! I saw it... I saw it... a black figure, as big as a planet, and I also saw... um... huge fires burning everywhere."

Xia Fa confirmed:
"that's it?"

Meowko nodded her little head vigorously:
"Okay, that's all!"

Xia Fa hesitated. A black figure almost the size of a planet, flames burning everywhere, and it just so happened to appear at the ceremony where Miao Kelu had just recognized him as her master... What did this mean?
After thinking for a while and seeing that he couldn't find a clue, he had no choice but to calm himself down and turn his gaze to the glass tea table.

At this moment, Benedict and Meowkor, the two girls, one big and one small, sat on the sofa together and started munching on the golden dried fish they had just taken out.

The dried golden ribbonfish was truly "dried fish," extremely dry. The two girls munched on it with gusto, many bits of meat falling off, but they looked completely satisfied, even squinting their eyes.

Xia Fa chuckled, but didn't bother them. He first looked at the fist-sized pure white light-chasing silver crystal on the tea table.

Perhaps it was because this pure white, light-seeking silver crystal was so large that even from a distance, he felt as if the flow of mystical living silver within his body was accelerating.

Xia Fa took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and carefully put it away, preparing to absorb it in the small world later. Perfect timing, he would also bring Benes and Meowkor in with him.

Of course, the Dream Come True sea train couldn't take the two of them on this trip; it would be too dangerous.

Since that's the case, it's better to let them stay in the small world, where they're absolutely safe.

Next, Xia Fa looked at the other treasures on the table, including sealed items, secret treasures, extraordinary fruits, and various high-level secret contracts... it had everything.

He doesn't really need these things now, but he can exchange them for some money to buy super-sized dried fish for Benedict and Meowkor.

"Hey, this is..."

Suddenly, Xia Fa's gaze shifted, and he saw something completely unexpected, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Beneath all those treasures lay... a treasure map!

A treasure map made of black animal hide, exactly the same as the three he had collected before!
At that moment, Xia Fa felt inexplicably uneasy.

That treasure map must be of great importance; that goes without saying.

He had thought it would take a long time to get the final treasure map, but to his surprise, Benedict and Meowkor brought it back to him from the giant egg world of the Endless Realm!
However, upon further reflection, this treasure map is indeed difficult to collect. If it weren't for Benedict and Meowkor, I'm afraid I would never have guessed that it would be in some small world of the Endless Realm, let alone found it.

Xia Fa immediately reached out and picked up the treasure map.

The moment his hand touched the treasure map, something completely unexpected happened!
