Chapter 180: The Treasure Basin Appears

“Hmm?”

The mask on the God of Theater’s face instantly transformed, and at the same moment, a massive surge of healing energy began to flow from all directions in the Theater World.

To save Ao Xiu’s life, the God of Theater personally intervened.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the power he mobilized to heal Ao Xiu at this moment far exceeded what he had used during the previous battle.

However, even someone as powerful as the God of Theater couldn’t stop Ao Xiu’s life from slipping away.

At best, he could only prolong Ao Xiu’s life for a little while longer.

“A miscalculation.”

After a moment, the God of Theater withdrew his hands and sighed, “I didn’t expect Ao Xiu to suffer such a severe backlash.”

“The better approach would have been to take things slowly.”

This little white dragon before him—no, not just a little white dragon. Given the countless treasures it had brought to China, it deserved to be called the Money Dragon.

But now, their Money Dragon was on the brink of death after using its power just once.

What a tragedy!

“It doesn’t seem like a backlash; it feels more like… the loss of original power causing his life to wither.”

The Star God spoke up, “Perhaps earlier, after losing the Dragon Ball, Ao Xiu could recover so easily because there was still some residual fortune within him.”

“Now that the remaining fortune has faded, Ao Xiu’s life has naturally reached its end.”

Hearing this, Su Wen’s eyes flickered, and he said, “Leave Ao Xiu to me!”

“I promised Ao Xiu I’d keep him alive, so I can’t let him die like this.”

With that, Su Wen focused his mind and began using his Wealth Source to nurture the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao.

“Honorable God of Wealth, you have spent ten thousand Wealth Source to feed the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao, significantly enhancing its divine essence.”

“……”

Soon, the divine essence of Yuanbao reached seven points.

“Wealth Source Value: 300,000.”

Looking at the nearly halved Wealth Source Value, Su Wen felt a pang of regret.

In just a few seconds, over a hundred thousand Wealth Source had vanished.

Sigh…

But if the Treasure Basin could awaken, it would all be worth it.

“Master, it should be ready.”

Yuanbao’s voice echoed in Su Wen’s mind. With the seven points of divine essence and the support of Ao Xiu’s body and soul, he felt he had a ninety-nine percent chance of awakening the Treasure Basin.

Though that one percent failure rate was a bit high, the situation was urgent, and there was no time for caution.

Most importantly, his master still had a reserve of three hundred thousand Wealth Source.

If anything went wrong, that three hundred thousand could serve as a safety net.

With his Little Gold Vault, there shouldn’t be any issues.

A success rate of 99.99%—that’s more than enough!

“Alright!”

Su Wen focused his mind, and the Yuanbao and the incomplete Gathering Treasure Basin appeared before him simultaneously.

“Buzz!”

The Yuanbao trembled slightly, then began to pour golden beams into the incomplete Gathering Treasure Basin.

If you looked closely, you’d notice that within the golden beams, a mysterious golden liquid seemed to flow slowly.

From the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao, it streamed into the Divine Artifact, Gathering Treasure Basin.

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

“……”

As the Yuanbao’s power flowed into it, the Gathering Treasure Basin began to emit strange, rhythmic sounds, like the beating of life itself.

In the mysterious realm, it felt as though a powerful force was stirring within the Gathering Treasure Basin.

But this force seemed incomplete, always fading at the most crucial moments, like a disorganized crowd without a leader, unable to coalesce its original divine essence.

“Ao Xiu, if you want to live, get in here!”

Su Wen pushed the Gathering Treasure Basin toward Ao Xiu with his right hand.

Hearing this, Ao Xiu struggled to look at Su Wen, realizing that the so-called “arrangement” was for him to reside in this incomplete basin.

Perhaps… living in this basin from now on wasn’t such a bad idea.

At least he wouldn’t have to worry about sudden, unexpected dangers anymore.

He could finally get a proper night’s sleep.

With that thought, Ao Xiu mustered all his strength and lunged forward, plunging headfirst into the Gathering Treasure Basin.

“Boom————”

The Gathering Treasure Basin erupted with a dazzling light, even sending out a Light Pillar surrounded by gold and silver jewels from within.

If it weren’t for the constraints of the Theater World, this radiant pillar would have shot straight through the heavens, announcing its arrival to the world.

The exclusive Divine Artifact of the God of Wealth: Gathering Treasure Basin!

Now manifest in the world!

“God of Wealth’s Divine Artifact: Yuanbao.”

“Divine Essence: 7.”

【Continuously decreasing…】

“……”

“Divine Essence: 6.”

【Continuously decreasing…】

Su Wen watched as the divine essence on the Yuanbao’s attribute panel dropped to six, while the Treasure Basin nearby continued to absorb the Yuanbao’s power like crazy.

To be safe, he poured another twenty thousand Wealth Source Value into the Yuanbao.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

The Yuanbao, transitioning its divine essence, sensed a surge of power entering its body, shaking violently. The surrounding golden glow brightened significantly.

“Divine Essence: 7.”

【Continuously decreasing…】

Every time the Yuanbao’s divine essence dropped, Su Wen kept tossing in twenty thousand Wealth Source Value.

He could still handle this situation.

Not far away, the God of Theater and the Star God exchanged glances.

They sensed an unusual energy aura coming from the Yuanbao.

Could this be… the Divine Artifact of the God of Wealth?

Since when did the fluctuations from Divine Artifacts carry hidden divine essences?

Finally, when Su Wen’s Wealth Source Value dropped to two hundred thousand, the Yuanbao stopped pouring in divine essence.

After a violent tremor, the Treasure Basin began shedding its dirt, revealing its glorious golden appearance.

“God of Martial Arts, is this… the Treasure Basin?”

The Star God approached and asked softly.

“Yes.”

Su Wen smiled and replied, “It seems that the harvest from my last visit to the Bug Spirit Arrow Realm shows that the Bug Spirits really were on the fate bearers’ side in ancient times.”

After observing the Treasure Basin for a while, the God of Theater suddenly laughed and said, “Last time, Fighting God came back and said you got a urinal. Turns out this is a Treasure Basin!”

Su Wen: “……”

Did Fighting God really spread that about the urinal?

Well… the loudmouth label was definitely not wrong.

“Brother God of Martial Arts, what treasures can your Treasure Basin gather?”

The Wind God asked excitedly, “Is it like in the stories, where you can toss anything inside and end up with heaps of gold and silver jewels?”

The Shadow God glanced at the Wind God and said, “How could Brother God of Martial Arts’s Treasure Basin be like the one in the stories?”

“Besides, what use do we have for ordinary things like gold and silver jewels?”

“If it can only gather gold and silver jewels, what’s the point of Brother God of Martial Arts spending such a huge price?”

The Wind God chuckled awkwardly at those words, feeling a strange sense of youth in front of the Shadow God, even though he was older.

However, the Shadow God’s point was indeed valid.

“Don’t rush, let me take a look first.”

Su Wen smiled and said, then focused his mind, and the attribute panel of the Treasure Basin appeared before him.
