Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 95 Absolute Defense, Hunting Down the Old Days Alone?

The moment those words came from the bard's mouth, Xia Fa noticed that almost everyone present sat up straight instantly, their expressions extremely focused.

But he didn't laugh at these people for being impatient, because he was the same way.

Are the Great Old Ones hunting down the "Nature Lord" and the "Supreme Law" among the nine Great Gods?
This is absolutely mind-blowing!

The key point is that, given the bard's special status among the nine great gods, this is very likely true and not something fabricated by this entity!

Xia Fa felt his heart pounding, his whole body pounding with excitement, as if he were about to overhear the world's greatest secret.

At the same time, he finally understood why the tavern was packed.

Hearing about the past of the Nine Great Gods, this level of event is far beyond what theater, movies, balls, salons, or banquets can compare to!

The bard seemed quite pleased with the audience's reaction, smiled slightly, and said:

"As I have said before, the epics and myths I have told about the gods are true, and I have witnessed them with my own eyes, starting from the first ten thousand years after the birth of this universe."

No one dared to refute it, nor did anyone utter a sound of dissent.

This is not only because the person in front of you is a physical entity, but also because everyone understands that bards may actually have witnessed scenes involving gods and Great Old Ones in the early days of the universe!

Suddenly, the bard's slender fingers began to pluck the strings of his harp, and the melodious sound, as pleasant as a breeze and flower petals, spread out, as if spring had arrived in an instant.

Just as everyone was about to immerse themselves in this pleasant and gentle atmosphere, suddenly, the music changed.

The atmosphere became tense and ominous, as if war were imminent.

The audience's hearts tightened, as if they were facing a massive army, or as if they had traveled to the early days of the universe, watching the ancient war between the gods who would determine the fate of humanity.

Even Xia Fa was affected by the atmosphere. Fortunately, he was able to maintain some composure and couldn't help but admire that this bard, regardless of his strength, was a master storyteller, no less than any other storyteller who was also a physical being.

The harp music suddenly stopped, but without a doubt, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and their expressions were tense and focused.

The bard's smile remained unchanged as he slowly began to speak, finally launching into his story.

"As I said last time, when the universe was first born, many Great Old Ones were born along with it."

"The Great Old Ones are also gods, but their status is far above that of the Outer Gods, some even above the Nine Great Gods. Each of them is so powerful that mortals cannot even imagine it."

"In the beginning, the Great Old Ones and His followers ruled over all the star systems of the universe, forcefully occupying those life-bearing planets that were rich in resources and had excellent environments."

"Whether we are humans or demi-humans, we can only eke out a living on resource-scarce planets at the edge of the universe, trembling with fear."

"At this time, the [Natural Monarch] and the [Supreme Laws] suddenly appeared."

"These two true gods, with their supreme power, secured a better living environment for us humans and demi-humans in a star field at the edge of the universe, and seized hundreds of life-bearing planets."

"But as I recounted last time, the process was actually very difficult, with many thrilling moments."

"Just as humans and demi-humans were preparing to grow and prosper, an Ancient One known as the [Corrupted Evil] took notice of our existence." "That day marked the first annihilation-level catastrophe in the history of humans and demi-humans!"

"【The Fallen Evil】Using the power He wields, He wantonly tempts humans and demi-humans to fall into depravity, turning them into brutal monsters who only know how to succumb to bloodlust."

"Overnight, almost half of humanity was lost, and the demi-humans, who generally possessed extraordinary powers, were nearly wiped out."

"The Lord of Nature and the Supreme Law were furious, but they were no match for the Fallen Evil."

"Don't misunderstand, it's not that these two supreme gods are too weak, it's that the Fallen Evil, as a Great Old One, is simply too strong."

"Seeing the Fallen Evil chasing after the Nature Monarch and the Supreme Law all the way to the edge of the universe, when the universe was still expanding and not as big as it is now, the two righteous gods, the Nature Monarch and the Supreme Law, had nowhere to escape and were almost in dire straits."

"And if they are killed by the Great Old One, the Fallen Evil, humanity will be completely wiped out. Without a true god, no one can resist a Great Old One, not even all the extraordinary beings in humanity combined..."

The bard's voice grew lower and lower as he spoke, as if filled with deep sorrow and despair, leaving no doubt that he had truly witnessed that scene, the moment when humanity was on the verge of extinction.

He seemed to have truly witnessed, at the edge of the universe, how the [Nature Lord] and [Supreme Law] among the nine great gods were being driven to the brink of certain death by [Fallen Evil], and how humanity's fate would also slide into the abyss.

The audience was deeply moved, and Xia Fa almost found himself caught up in this grand and tragic history.

However, he was quite rational and understood that since human civilization has spread throughout the entire universe and there has been no news of any Great Old Ones causing evil for tens of thousands of years, it means that this history must have been reversed!

Just then, the bard's voice suddenly became impassioned, like the drumbeats before a battle.

"Fortunately, at this moment when both gods and humans were in despair, [Absolute Defense] appeared!"

"No one knows how one of the nine great gods came to be, no one knows His past, but I witnessed that magnificent battle with my own eyes."

"【Absolute Defense】killed the 【Fallen Evil】an ancient ruler in almost an instant, and even completely sealed all of His powers!"

The bard's azure eyes shone as if burning, as if he had returned to that moment once more, awestruck by the unparalleled power of [Absolute Defense]:

"The death of [The Fallen Evil] immediately drew the attention of the other Great Old Ones."

"On that day, five Great Old Ones were present: [Dimension Devourer], [Mistletoe's Navel], [Bloodstained Laws], [Covenant of Despair], and [Traitor]!"

"They regarded Absolute Defense as their mortal enemy, surrounded it, imprisoned it, and launched a deadly attack on Absolute Defense with all the powers and rules they possessed."

"However, at that moment..."

The bard paused deliberately at this point.

Xia Fa was taken aback at first, then felt a helpless urge to laugh.

What's going on? Is this entity telling myths and epics while deliberately keeping people in suspense?
Fortunately, the bard only paused for a second or two. Then, the entity took a deep breath and, in a tone of extreme reverence, longing, and awe, uttered the next sentence.

"But it was no use. [Absolute Defense] killed all five Great Old Ones all by itself!"
