It is a consequence of the isomorphism between powers of numbers under multiplication and their indices under addition.
This leads to the definition of x-a as the [multiplicative] inverse of xa.
Then xa * x-a = xa-a = x0
But since x-a is the inverse of xa, their product is 1.
That is to say, x0 = 1.
