Chapter 279: You Don’t Understand the God of Wealth

“Sir, here’s the situation.”

Su Wen shared all the information he had about the celestial officers with the God of Theater.

After all, teaming up with the God of Theater to collect money from the Holy Spirit clan would yield even greater rewards.

“That’s great news!”

The God of Theater smiled and said, “A tremendous piece of good news!”

“Not to mention, if this happens, we can be sure that the celestial officers are genuinely on our side.”

“They didn’t want to get involved earlier, saying the time wasn’t right; perhaps they were indeed waiting for something!”

As he spoke, the God of Theater couldn’t help but glance at Su Wen.

For a moment, he began to wonder.

When the celestial officers said the time wasn’t right, could it be that the God of Wealth hadn’t arrived yet?

Now that the God of Wealth has come, the time… has come?

After all, after the God of Wealth was besieged by the Holy Spirit clan and the Ghost Spirit clan, the celestial officers began to patrol to find grounds for the God of Wealth.

This seemed quite clear.

“There’s just over a month until October 15th.”

Su Wen continued, “In this month, we need to prepare well.”

“Fighting God, if you were at king level, it would be even better. Otherwise, the three of us should go to the Holy Spirit clan together; the harvest would definitely be greater.”

He felt it was necessary to comfort the Fighting God.

Seeing the Fighting God’s expression, he looked like he was about to become emo.

It was understandable; first, he was confused and took a beating, and then learned it was his future self who was going to beat him.

Later, he discovered that his future self had killed the God of Martial Arts, and felt so guilty that he wanted to take a beating.

For a while now, it had been nothing but being beaten.

“By the way, there’s a gift for you.”

Saying this, Su Wen flipped his right hand, and the Fighting God’s sphere, emitting an aura of extinction, appeared in his palm.

Fighting God: “…”

Why did this sphere of insights emit such a strange fluctuation?

That feeling made his heart race?

“God of Martial Arts, what is this sphere of insights?”

The God of Theater looked at the Fighting God’s sphere, frowning as he asked.

The last time the God of Martial Arts brought out the Fighting God’s sphere, it was filled with an uplifting fighting aura. In that wave of blood-lust, he could almost see the shadow of a spear-wielding fighter within it.

Full of confidence!

Uplifting and unyielding!

However, this time, the Fighting God’s sphere gave him a feeling… of an aura near death, emanating from someone even older than him.

A sense of clinging to life while holding onto a resolve for something greater.

So, each time the God of Martial Arts traded, his future counterpart was different?

Yes!

If the present changes, then the future must change too!

The last future Fighting God who traded with the God of Martial Arts faced many hardships but, undeterred, the God of Fighting’s strong will kept him uplifted and confident, as he was not schemed against.

But this time, the future Fighting God killed the God of Martial Arts due to a plot, and the fear and guilt from personally killing his comrade would torment him beyond recognition.

“Little Fighting, you’ve got it tough too.”

The God of Theater patted Fighting God on the shoulder and sighed.

After a moment of silence, Fighting God said, “Sir, should I absorb this sphere of insights?”

“The God of Martial Arts has brought it back for you; why wouldn’t you absorb it?”

“I just feel that this sphere of insights is strange; it gives me the creeps.”

“Hmm… You’ve absorbed a sphere of insights before, so you should know that during the process, you’ll experience some of the original owner’s key emotions, right?”

“I get it. We absorb our future sphere of insights, so the impact of this experience will be deeper.”

“In that case, go ahead and absorb it!”

The God of Theater thought for a moment and said, “After absorbing this sphere of insights, you should grow in many ways.”

“Especially… it’ll probably be harder for others to scheme against you.”

People only grow after experiencing sadness, despair, or uncontrollable tragedies.

Perhaps the God of Martial Arts deliberately brought back the tragic Fighting God’s sphere for this very reason.

Now, Fighting God should fully feel his future despair and loneliness, tragedy, and guilt.

To truly understand, one must feel it firsthand!

No matter how much they talk or how much Fighting God sees, nothing could compare to his own experience.

After that experience, he would surely transform!

An insightful Fighting God—he looked forward to it!

The God of Fighting shouldn’t just fight like a brute but should strategize and outwit his enemies with wisdom and courage.

“Ah, I see! This time’s sphere of insights is filled with life lessons to avoid being schemed against!”

Fighting God suddenly understood and took the Fighting God sphere from Su Wen’s hand, retreating to the Fighting God office to absorb it in seclusion.

He wanted to grow quickly; in battle, he was fine, and his mind was sharp.

But in normal situations, he always felt his mind was slow.

Especially when facing the Star God and the God of Theater, he knew their words weren’t as simple as they seemed, but he couldn’t quite grasp them.

He always had to ask them to explain, which was pretty embarrassing.

After all, who wouldn’t want to have a sharp mind?

“This kid…”

The God of Theater glanced at the spot where Fighting God had vanished and let out a soft sigh.

Clearly, Fighting God hadn’t grasped the deeper meaning behind the obliteration sphere.

Expecting him to connect the dots right now was a bit of a stretch.

We’ll just have to wait a little longer!

“God of Theater, you’ve got your share too,”

Su Wen said with a grin, “This insight is something else this time!

It’s a solid thirty years of insights!

Back when I was in the Theater World during the future timeline, you had just refined this fresh sphere of insights.”

“Thanks for the hard work!”

Taking the sphere of insights, the God of Theater held back his excitement and spoke earnestly, “I’ve got a hunch that this time, after my seclusion, I’ll make some major breakthroughs!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be out before October 15th!”

After that, the God of Theater gave Su Wen a quick rundown of his experiences and gains from the Dream Aspect Clan.

With a wave of his hand, he left a gift from a Dream Aspect Clan friend for Su Wen.

In the next instant, he turned and disappeared.

Ever since crossing paths with the God of Martial Arts, he’d come to realize that time is money!

Before, he hadn’t paid much attention to time; his focus was solely on the progress of the fate bearers of Huaxia and the rare treasures in the Huaxia treasury.

Of course, the construction of the Starry Array was also a top priority.

But after the God of Martial Arts awakened, everything changed.

Time became incredibly precious!

He became swamped!

An inch of time is worth an inch of gold; when he thought about it, being busy wasn’t such a bad thing.

After all, the busier he was, the faster his strength grew.

So… why not lean into it?

【Mighty God of Wealth! As you watch this celestial officer, once the top student in Central Plains and now a student in the celestial officer study program, presenting his many insights and engaging in various discussions about the actions of celestial officers, you can’t help but share your thoughts.】

【The motives behind celestial officers’ actions are pretty straightforward!】

【Why overcomplicate it?】

【The man chuckled at your words, bluntly stating that while you’re powerful, your perspective is too shallow to grasp the deeper intentions at play.】

【Every action and word of celestial officers carries profound meaning and psychological motives, which is why the celestial officer study program continues to thrive and expand.】

【He can actually understand where you’re coming from; after all, you’re not a student of the program and haven’t gone through the systematic training.】

【It’s only natural to make such assumptions when you don’t fully understand the God of Wealth and the celestial officers.】
