Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 60 The Splendor of the Protoss Realm
The moment Xia Fa grasped the Star Spirit Compass with both hands, his mind went blank for a fleeting instant.

His dark eyes quickly turned deep purple, and then, an extremely dazzling and endless starry sky suddenly "exploded" before his eyes.

The tranquil, deep purple starry sky is magnificent, vast, and mysterious, seemingly without end.

Countless galaxies shone brilliantly within, stretching to the boundless horizon, twinkling like breaths, as if playing the grandest and most magnificent epic symphony.

Between galaxies, in the depths of space, countless figures emerged.

Some people are talking, some are fighting, and some are simply meditating.

These figures were illusory and unreal, yet they gave Xia Fa a feeling that he could reach out and touch them.

They seem to come from inhabited planets in those galaxies, or perhaps they have existed since time immemorial in this strange universe.

Then, an uncountable number of “spirits” appeared from the void.

There are extremely large star spirits, like planets or even stars, wandering among the planets, radiating an indescribable pressure.

There are mysterious spirits that are elusive, appearing in an instant and disappearing in a flash, sometimes even beyond the reach of the naked eye.

There are also lively and agile demons, sinister and terrifying evil spirits, and deep and mysterious spirits... These "spirits" are also densely packed, covering the starry sky as far as the eye can see.

The starry sky, galaxies, human figures, spirits… Xia Fa felt as if he had suddenly encountered an equally vast and unimaginable “world” outside of his own reality.

"Is this the Protoss Realm...?"

This was the first time he had ever witnessed the tip of the iceberg of the Protoss Realm from such a direct perspective.

The Celestial Spirit Realm is said to overlap with the real world and have countless connections to it.

What happens in the Protoss Realm may have some impact on the real world, and what happens in the real world may also cause a storm in the Protoss Realm.

For example, if the highest-ranking Protoss beings in the Protoss realm were to start fighting, there might be a volcanic eruption or a tsunami in the real world.

Similarly, if the angels and even the rulers of the real world get into battle, the Protoss Realm will also begin to stir and many "spirits" will go berserk as a result.

Of course, under normal circumstances, people in the real world and spirits in the astral realm do not interfere with each other, and it is difficult for them to freely travel between the real world and the astral realm.

Without the permission of the nine Great Gods, Outer Gods and their followers cannot approach the real world and can only wander in the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Only the nine true gods can stand simultaneously in the real world and the Protoss Realm, overlooking and ruling over everything in both worlds.

For some reason, Xia Fa thought of the high-level secret contract he had just acquired—the Servant of Spirit Control.

"Protoss... they all seem incredibly powerful. Their size alone is comparable to a planet. If only we could subdue them..."

Before he could think any further, suddenly, he saw that all the illusory figures and the spirits wandering in the Star Spirit Realm began to emit rays of light.

These rays of light contained countless images, which were originally scattering into the cosmos, but were about to gradually fade and disappear.
Immediately, Xia Fa saw wisps of light emanating from the Star Spirit Compass in his hand.

The light from the Star Spirit Compass shot out rapidly, flying towards the light in the cosmos. It paused briefly on each ray of light before immediately moving on to find the next ray.

The feeling Xia Fa got was like... searching!
That's right, he was searching for some kind of information, some kind of information that was extremely useful to him!
That was... the crucial clue regarding the supreme-level secret contract of the Silver Throne!
Xia Fa held the Star Spirit Compass and remained motionless, waiting for the search to be completed.

His mental form was currently in the Astral Realm, waiting for the Astral Compass to finish its search. Therefore, his body was unable to move and could only wait quietly. Fortunately, his body's various instinctive reactions were still intact, so he could barely hear the sounds of the real world.

He could faintly hear the low voices of the three demigods talking through the secret treasure.

"The Star Spirit Compass... is being consumed rapidly, but it hasn't turned into a teleportation array. Xia Fa, that kid, his second secret contract is really a high-level secret contract?"

At that moment, Lieutenant General Bedivet's gruff voice, tinged with surprise and a hint of interest, rang out from the military telegraph machine:

“Terrean, we’ve been old friends for so many years, you know I’m short-handed lately…”

Tyrene's voice grew even colder:
"If I had known, I should have kept you trapped in that abandoned temple yesterday."

Lieutenant General Bedivet was somewhat helpless:
"Why do you bring this up all of a sudden? Sigh, after all these years, you're still the same stubborn person."

Yaxor chuckled, trying to smooth things over:
"No need, no need. It would be bad if you two demigods started arguing over my nephew."

There was finally a hint of weariness in Tyrene's voice:
"What nephew? Didn't you say before that Xia Fa was just an ignorant person who sought fame and fortune?"

Yaxor chuckled, completely unconcerned.

“I misspoke, I admit my mistake. Anyway, I’m willing to pay any price to find our noble bloodline of the Augustus family that has been lost.”

He suddenly changed the subject, saying:
"How long has it been? Why hasn't the Star Spirit Compass finished its search yet?"

Glenn had been listening to the conversation between the three demigods, and his voice suddenly trembled:
"Could it be... that Xia Fa's second secret contract is truly a hegemon-level secret contract?"

Tyrene sighed:
“I would like that, but it’s almost impossible. Under normal circumstances, the Star Spirit Compass would need more than an hour to search for a Hegemon-level secret contract. Only a minute has passed now.”

Axel chuckled and said:

"If it is truly a hegemonic-level secret contract, our Augustus family is willing to sell a portion of our family's assets to buy the corresponding secret contract for my nephew, whether it is the condition of eternity, the forge of all things, or even... the Silver Throne!"

Seeing that Xia Fa remained motionless, and realizing he would have to wait a while, Ethan mustered his courage and asked:

"My lords, which of these three overlord-level secret contracts is the strongest?"

This was high-level information that ordinary superhumans like them would never normally have access to, so they took this opportunity to ask the three demigods about it.

Although Tyrene was a man of few words, he was quite considerate of the extraordinary individuals within the Silver Church, and spoke first:

"It's hard to say who is the strongest, or rather, the question of which of the three hegemonic-level secret contracts is the strongest has always been a topic of endless debate among extraordinary individuals and scholars. But the characteristics of each of the three hegemonic-level secret contracts are very clear."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa suddenly had a thought.

He had always been curious about the characteristics of the Silver Throne as a supreme-level secret contract.

Now it seems that this extremely crucial and important intelligence can be obtained through this?

Seeing that he was waiting anyway, Axo simply chuckled and replied:

"Yes, among the three overlord-level secret covenants, the Eternal Conditions are the most mysterious, and the Forge of All Things is the most difficult to defend against, but as for the Silver Throne..."
