Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 79 A Fallen Noble, Taking Action Personally

The doll-like girl's face was full of anticipation as she quietly waited for Xia Fa to begin this trial journey for her.

It's unclear whether she's so looking forward to the upcoming training or because she hopes to become stronger after this training so she can go on adventures with Xia Fa.

Xia Fa added another instruction:
"You must ensure your own safety first."

"Okay! Don't worry, hehe."

Seeing the doll girl confidently agree, Xia Fa felt slightly relieved and skillfully outlined the secret character resembling the Chinese character "门" in his palm.

Wait... door!

The moment the secret text was drawn, the familiar sound of hooves rang out, and the soft-haired wooden mare appeared out of thin air and came to Benedict's side.

"Xia Fa, I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow!"

With a wave of her hand, Benedict rode her horse into a door that seemed to exist out of thin air and vanished.

Xia Fa stood there in a daze, still recalling the cryptic inscription.

A secret inscription that looks remarkably like the Chinese character for "door"... once drawn out, it will allow Beneath to travel to the Endless Realm...

"Is it possible..."

He suddenly had a bold guess, but he didn't try it out immediately.

After all, this is a supernatural world full of chaos and madness, especially after witnessing firsthand the unknown beings that resembled heavy armored cavalry, and the decapitated Outer God.

Moreover, it's true that a beast as irrational and bizarre as the Jawed Beast could develop such a massive civilization. At first, I didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it carefully, I just find it equally insane and unbelievable.

In this situation, when it comes to cryptic texts—the most basic and profound "symbols" in mysticism that can evoke extraordinary power or even the primordial power of the universe—he dares not act rashly.

Xia Fa took a few deep breaths, forcing himself not to get so excited, and sat down in the chair.

The chair seemed to still retain the warmth of the doll girl.

But he couldn't help but wonder what kind of mystical connection existed between Chinese characters and cryptic writing...

Moreover, Xia Fa suddenly remembered that, apart from his special abilities, it seemed that the only thing he could do was recognize the secret characters in the secret contracts that looked like Chinese characters, which could be considered a kind of "cheat code" for him.

He had a cheat code right in front of him, but he didn't use it, especially now that he was suspected of being targeted by a demigod who could trigger a second loss of control in the snow demon, and an unknown being who could arbitrarily behead outer gods and destroy civilizations...

A glint of madness flashed in Xia Fa's eyes, and he decided... to take a risk!

He went to the desk under the bay window, took out a sheet of parchment paper, and filled his fountain pen with ink.

Perhaps because he was so short of money, after taking a deep breath, the first thing that came to his mind was the Chinese character for "money".

But immediately, he shook his head and decided to change it to the Chinese characters "金磅" (gold pound).

He wanted to see what would happen if these two Chinese characters were written in a secret script.

The biggest difference between writing secret texts and directly writing the "Putong language" commonly used in the Augu Kingdom is that when writing secret texts, one can and must infuse extraordinary power.

Writing in the language of Putong, however, requires and cannot be imbued with extraordinary power.

Secret messages have many uses. For example, writing secret messages in clear quartz crystal can be used for long-distance communication to transmit important information.

On the other hand, cryptic texts can also be used for divination, but Xia Fa does not yet know the method.

Not to mention, all sorts of rituals and arrays with numerous functions are also based on chains of cryptic texts.

Regaining his composure, Xia Fa gripped the pen's belly tightly with his thumb and forefinger, focusing his mind on the two Chinese characters for "gold pound," channeling his extraordinary inner power into the pen's nib.
He flicked his wrist slightly, causing the ink-dipped pen tip to touch the pale yellow paper.

boom--! ! !
Suddenly, an immense sense of fear enveloped him, even more so than when he faced the gaze of that unknown being resembling a heavily armored cavalryman.

Xia Fa abruptly stopped writing, his body immediately drenched in sweat, as if he were about to collapse or lose all strength, and began to breathe rapidly.

The fear was so intense and overwhelming, like an endless darkness descending, with a large, sinewy hand gripping his heart tightly. If he dared to move even slightly, his heart would be crushed!
He had a premonition that if he really intended to write the two Chinese characters "golden pound" with the intention of writing the meaning behind these two characters, and if he wrote these two secret texts on the paper in a way that infused him with extraordinary power... he would immediately lose control, an irreversible loss of control!
It's even possible that both the physical body and the soul could shatter together!
Moreover, and most importantly, this time, neither the burning sensation in his heart meridian nor the strange electric current in his spine came to his rescue! He didn't know if they didn't sense it or if it was for some other reason.

"Forget it, I'd better not do anything reckless..."

Xia Fa was still shaken, muttering to himself, and dared not write again.

He felt that, for a fleeting moment, he had violated some deepest taboo of the world...

Perhaps, I can only try again after I become a demigod and touch upon even a tiny bit of the status of a "god".

Dragging his suddenly exhausted body, Xia Fa slumped onto the sofa, waiting for his suddenly depleted physical and mental strength to recover.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't gotten a free meal today.

Perfect timing! After the trials in the Ghost Realm and the exertion this time, I need to find a wealthy... oh no... noble family to have a good meal with!
In particular, the newspapers all said that the nobles warmly welcomed him. If he didn't go, wouldn't he be disrespecting the nobles?

Hmm... Perfect timing to try something new. The transparent meat strips from the Titan remnants taste great, but we can't eat them all the time.

As for the giant grilled fish of the Sremus royal family...

To be honest, although the grilled fish smelled delicious... Xia Fa always felt that the royal family of Sremus looked a bit creepy, so he didn't consider it.

After resting for a few minutes, Xia Fa stood up and walked to his own table and chairs.

He pulled out a chair, and this time, without thinking, he sat down.

He decided to try his luck in the lottery.

……

Augustus.

The estate where the Ridley Law family resides.

This is an estate covering only about ten acres, featuring Gothic-style pointed-roof villas, a back garden with artificial hills and fountains, as well as a wine cellar, orchard, horse farm... it has everything, but none of them are very large.

However, in the Upper City of Augustus, where land is extremely valuable, such a manor is already considered quite good.

In the stylishly decorated restaurant, Little Rilliello, dressed in a violet plaid suit, sat in a chair, looking at a table full of dishes, but his face was somewhat pale.

Today, he spent a full five thousand pounds to prepare such a grand and extraordinary feast, just to invite a VIP from the House of Lords to the banquet.

There was no other reason than that he wanted this important figure to help him secure a position.

He doesn't need a high position; a tax collector or presiding judge in a small town would suffice. He doesn't even aspire to be a governor of a small town.

However, although the important figure readily agreed, he did not come.

"Father, I have ultimately failed to meet your expectations..."

Little Rilliro let out a long, dejected sigh. Since his father's death, he had become the head of the Rilliro family.

However, he was merely an Elephant-level transcendent being, whose strength was not considered high among the nobles of the Augu Kingdom, and he failed to inherit his father's position.

Now, he has failed in his attempt to secure his desired position.

Although the Rileyro family is not short of money, if things continue like this, their businesses will eventually be gradually eroded by other noble families...

Riley sat there blankly, his eyes filled with confusion, unsure of what the future held.

Suddenly, he was jolted, his face first showing extreme astonishment, and then, little by little, joy burst forth!
Suddenly, a chaotic, electric-like fluctuation appeared in the air, and a blurry figure, as if wrapped in a mosaic, appeared directly opposite the dining table!

This is……

Now, all the nobles of the entire Augu Kingdom and even the Wright Starfield are eagerly anticipating his attendance at the banquet...

Your Excellency, Great Entity, Glutton!
