Chapter 277: The Celestial Officer’s Patrol on October 15th

“Alright.”

Yuan Bao pointed into the air, and a flash of golden light appeared.

The golden light spun around for a moment and then vanished without a trace.

“Is this considered a tip for the river of time?” Su Wen asked as he looked at Yuan Bao.

That flash of golden light indeed came from the Wealth Source.

After all, the moment the golden light appeared, his Wealth Source Value decreased by one hundred thousand.

He had expected that tipping the river of time would come with at least some grand display, like a phantom rising or something.

If there wasn’t going to be a spectacular scene, it shouldn’t have looked like a cheap special effect, right?

“Yes,” Yuan Bao nodded and said, “God of Wealth, when the river of time takes the Wealth Source, it just takes it directly.”

“There won’t be any ripples or traces left behind.”

As he spoke, Yuan Bao paused and then added with a sly grin, “God of Wealth, when you’re fighting your enemies in the future, you could spend a few thousand Wealth Source to tip the river of time.”

“Right under your enemies’ noses, let that golden light vanish.”

“Then… your enemies will definitely start wondering what that golden light means, especially those who are good at divination. Once they start calculating, they’ll trace it back to the river of time.”

Su Wen gave Yuan Bao an approving look and smiled. “That’s a great suggestion; I’ll keep it in mind.”

“Mm-hmm! Anyway, since we’ve already tipped the river of time with some Wealth Source, it’s only fair to borrow its power to strike back at our enemies, right?”

“It’s definitely reasonable. Speaking of which, Little Gold Vault…”

“Yes, God of Wealth?”

“Have you finished watching the essential films and studying the generational relationships of Chinese directors assigned by the teachers at the Imperial Capital Film Academy?”

“……”

Yuan Bao looked completely baffled; the topic had shifted way too fast!

Weren’t they just talking about the river of time?

How did they suddenly end up on his studies?

“God of Wealth, I’ll go study right now!”

With that, Yuan Bao hurried over to his small desk and opened the custom study computer Su Wen had prepared for him.

Su Wen had gone to great lengths to support Yuan Bao’s education.

[After some friendly negotiations with the river of time, you crossed the threshold and entered the God of Wealth Realm.]

[You were curious to see if the people living in the God of Wealth Realm, built in your honor, were living peaceful and prosperous lives.]

[Not long after walking, you came across a large stage.]

[On the stage, a group of people dressed in black official robes were performing a play.]

[You stop with great interest to watch and, after a while, glance at the outline of the play hanging beside you.]

[The name of this play is "The Celestial Officer’s Patrol on October 15th," which tells the story of seventy celestial officers who ventured out from the Arrow Realm on October 15, 2022.]

[Forty celestial officers went to the Ghost Spirit clan, while thirty went to the Holy Spirit clan.]

[When the celestial officers patrol, everything is worry-free!]

[This play seems to be widely known around the world; although you can guess some details, to avoid making mistakes in your thoughts, you quietly ask a man nearby who is wearing a mask of the Great God of Wealth.]

[The man looks impatient at your question and tells you to watch the play properly without talking.]

[You think for a moment and summon the nearby power of stars to condense a Starlight Crystal.]

[Upon seeing the Starlight Crystal in your hand, the man’s face brightens with a smile. After quietly taking the crystal from you, he says you are too polite.]

[Then, the man clears his throat and begins to recount a significant event that happened sixty years ago.]

[Someone once said in a book that the celestial officers bestow blessings and have nothing to fear!]

[But the celestial officers guarding the Arrow Realm are quite different from that statement.]

[Although they are different, they still stand by the side of Huaxia, which is evident from the celestial officers embarking on their patrol.]

[Sixty years ago, the God of Wealth disguised as the God of Martial Arts fought a shocking battle in the Demon Witch realm, which intimidated the Arrow Realm, preventing any bold acts for the following twenty years.]

[However, the Holy Spirit clan and the Ghost Spirit clan went too far. In that battle, aside from the Earth Deity of the Demon Witch tribe, the Holy Spirit clan sent out three Demigods, and the Ghost Spirit clan sent out four Demigods.]

[It was only because the God of Wealth was immensely powerful that Huaxia maintained its strong national strength; otherwise, it might not have thrived as it does today.]

[But right after that battle, everyone thought it had come to an end.]

[On October 15th, seventy celestial officers emerged from the Arrow Realm.]

[Everyone believed that the Earth Deity of the Celestial Officers could only guard the Arrow Realm and could not go out.]

[But on that day, the celestial officers stepped out!]

[That day was officially recognized by Huaxia as the Celestial Officer’s Patrol Day.]

[On that day, thirty celestial officers descended upon the Holy Spirit clan, and together they shattered the protective formation of the Holy Spirit clan, which was known for being as tough as a turtle shell.]

[With the protective formation broken, the Holy Spirit realm was left in turmoil by the imposing celestial officers.]

[Vague cries of heavenly distress could be heard.]

[On the Ghost Spirit clan side, as forty celestial officers arrived, a battle ensued that resulted in overwhelming victory.]

[The Hidden Great Formation outside the Ghost Spirit realm was destroyed, and their protective formation was breached.]

[The first Ghost Spirit clan female Demigod who exposed the God of Wealth’s identity faced the combined attack of twelve celestial officers, resulting in her public execution, where she was reduced to ashes, and her true spirit perished.]

[Afterwards, the celestial officers returned to the Arrow Realm, restoring peace to the world once again.]

[Out of respect for the celestial officers and consideration for their Huaxia ally, many martial arts universities established celestial officer study programs.]

[Of course, this program does not have undergraduate students; all the students start at the master’s level.]

[Many scholars and researchers speculated that the Holy Spirit clan sent three Demigods, which led to thirty celestial officers emerging on the Celestial Officer’s Patrol Day to the Holy Spirit realm, where they eliminated three Demigods from the Holy Spirit clan.]

[The Ghost Spirit clan sent four Demigods, resulting in forty celestial officers descending.]

[These details are common knowledge within the celestial officer study program.]

[However, scholars and researchers wonder why the celestial officers only executed one Demigod of the Ghost Spirit clan and let the other three Demigods go.]

[Is it due to some consideration?]

[Or are there certain taboos involved?]

[Clearly, the Ghost Spirit clan’s force was much larger, yet the Ghost Spirit realm suffered far less impact compared to the Holy Spirit realm.]

[If it weren’t for that female Demigod from the Ghost Spirit clan facing execution, they might have thought the celestial officers just went to the Ghost Spirit realm to play!]

[Oh, God of Wealth across time and space! You observe the man speaking confidently, especially as he casually drops professional terms from the celestial officer studies, speaking in an especially authoritative tone.]

[Unable to resist, you ask about his identity.]

[The man is momentarily taken aback but then proudly tells you that he is the top scorer of the college entrance examination in Central Plains in the year eighty.]

[He scored seven hundred thirty-nine in cultural subjects and has a martial arts cultivation at the Third Level, also at the top level.]

[Well-read and a genius!]

[As a result, he was admitted to the God of Martial Arts University and became a unique case in their celestial officer study program!

[The only undergraduate student currently enrolled in celestial officer studies!]
