"I have plans for Ao Xiu."
Su Wen said softly, "He's still somewhat useful as my successor."
Upon hearing this, the Star God nodded slightly and said, "Alright, in that case, I won't interfere."
"I've been so busy lately, I need to get back to work."
"Oh, right, Martial God, don't forget tomorrow's funeral."
Having said that, the Star God took a step and disappeared from the spot.
"Master of Theater God, Ao Xiu will leave it here with you for a while."
Su Wen said, "I'll come and pick him up once I've made the arrangements."
The Theater God smiled and said, "It's nothing, but I've noticed you've been quite busy lately. My advice is, no matter how busy you are, don't forget to cultivate and gain insights into your supernatural abilities."
"For those Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the cultivation of supernatural powers is still very important."
Su Wen was taken aback. What did that mean?
Do supernatural powers need to be cultivated?
My current two supernatural abilities are Refinement and Bestowal.
If Refinement supernatural powers, wouldn't you simply convert the value of the target object directly into Wealth Source?
How do you cultivate this?
Refinement more items?
And then there's the Bestowal " ability... which is currently pretty useless, right?
Before the upper limit of Martial Dao is pushed to the Sixth Rank, what good is Bestowal supernatural powers?
Most importantly, Refinement and Bestowal —one costs money, the other costs money—is there any point in cultivation?
Refinement resources into Wealth Source, and then using that Wealth Source to Bestowal Heavenly Mandate Profession —who doesn't know how to do that?
Practicing more... doesn't seem to be very useful, does it?
"You haven't really practiced your supernatural abilities much, have you?"
The Theater God raised an eyebrow and asked a question.
"Without."
Su Wen scratched his head and said, "My supernatural power doesn't seem to require cultivation."
Upon hearing this, the Theater God was about to speak, but then seemed to remember something and suddenly lost the will to speak.
"Alright!"
"Perhaps you are indeed somewhat special; in that case, I have nothing more to explain."
Your path may be different from ours.
Different paths lead to different futures, and your future... may be somewhat difficult.
"After all, every path has pioneers who forge ahead, only to fall in the process of exploration, while those who follow step over the corpses of their predecessors to keep moving forward."
Good luck!
"Normally, I sit in the office area. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. This includes, but is not limited to, Heavenly Mandate Domain; I also have some knowledge of academics, relationships, and so on."
As he was saying this, the Theater God's breath hitched.
The next moment, he waved his right hand, and the Theatrical Phenomena World in the sky began to change rapidly.
"Something's not right here!"
The Theater God looked up at the sky and murmured softly.
"What's wrong with the old man?"
"Just now, the Battle God's destiny shifted slightly. I observed that his future fate is leaning towards Artaud's direction."
"Um, what does Artaud mean?"
Su Wen asked, "Is Artaud a technical term from the Theatrical Phenomena World?"
Artaud, the pioneer of the Theater of Cruelty.
The Theater God sighed softly and said, "Leaving aside his pioneering theory of Theater of Cruelty, this playwright suffered from mental illness and died in his forties."
Su Wen: "..."
He would never forget the uncontrollable vomiting reaction of the Battle God when he mentioned Theater of Cruelty in the past.
He gained some understanding of the Battle God's mental capacity for acceptance during his exploration of the No. 9 Arrow Realm in Demon Capital.
What could elicit such a strong reaction from the current Battle God must be something that challenges people's limits of acceptance.
But now, with just one word from Artaud, doesn't the master of Theater God encapsulate both the Theater of Cruelty and the tragic life of this pioneer?
What happened next for the Battle God...?
He suddenly realized that the Battle God was in a rather pitiful state!
"If the Battle God finds out, he'll probably have another headache."
The Theater God sighed and said, "I don't want it to be this way either, but there's nothing I can do. The only way I can subtly remind the Battle God of the changes in his destiny that I've observed is through drama."
"Theater of Cruelty, Poor Theater... these avant-garde postmodern theatrical theories are largely unappreciated by the general public."
The Theater God paused for a moment, then said, "For example, Poor Theater, also known as Theater of Poverty, is based on the theory of drama..."
From the moment the phrase "Theater of Poverty" appeared, Su Wen's attention was immediately drawn to it.
poverty...
Is the Theater God reminding himself?
It seems like I'm really poor.
Currently, with 450,000 in Wealth Source, it seems like his wallet is bulging and his savings are plentiful.
But he knew that the real bulk of the expenses were yet to come.
Above the Emperor Rank, there is another realm.
Once information about that realm is involved, the resulting impact on spacetime would likely be outrageously large.
Therefore, the Wealth Source expenditure will be astronomical!
From this perspective, the old master of Theater God seems to be pointing fingers at himself.
"Sir, I understand."
Su Wen said, "I will work hard to earn money and try not to be poor."
"I'll get back to work now, sir, you can continue observing the changes in the Battle God's destiny!"
After saying that, Su Wen turned and left the Theatrical Phenomena World.
After Su Wen left, the Wind God and the Shadow God also got up and left.
They all have things to do; the main force has already left, so why are they still here watching the Flood Dragon?
Behind them, the Theater God looked at Su Wen with a puzzled expression.
Is this child overthinking things?
The Poor Theater theory I just mentioned was simply meant to be a contrast with Theater of Cruelty.
Moreover, the core of the theory of Poor Theater is not poverty!
It just has a name: Theater of Poverty.
"That's enough!"
The Theater God turned his gaze to Ao Xiu and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, would you be interested in cooperating with me on an experiment?"
Ao Xiu trembled upon hearing this. An experiment?
This word doesn't sound like a good word at all!
Meanwhile, in the Martial God's office.
"Sycee, how can I turn Ao Xiu into a lucky dragon?"
Su Wen summoned Sycee and asked.
"The Treasure Bowl possesses the wondrous power to gather all the treasures of the world and bring them into its possession."
Sycee said softly, "And the spirit of the Treasure Bowl used to be a cat."
Su Wen raised an eyebrow and said, "A lucky cat?"
"Yes."
"So you mean to put Ao Xiu into the Treasure Bowl and make him a basin spirit?"
"Yes, Ao Xiu possesses good fortune, although most of it is concentrated in his natal dragon pearl, a portion of it lies dormant within his soul."
Sycee said, "Extract his soul and put it into the Treasure Bowl."
"A soul carrying good fortune is the perfect match for the spirit of the Treasure Bowl."
"It just so happens that Ao Xiu likes to sleep. After becoming a basin spirit, he doesn't have to do anything; he can just sleep."
"Anyway, the function of the Treasure Bowl Basin Spirit is only to enhance the Treasure Bowl's spirituality, increase its transformation speed, and improve its efficiency in Treasure Gathering."
"Of course, Ao Xiu's physical body can also be put into the Treasure Bowl. His body should also carry wealth, which might stimulate the dormant Treasure Bowl."
"Then, with my divine power, the Treasure Bowl may be more easily revived."
"In short, every part of Ao Xiu's body is a treasure trove of essence, especially for you, God of God of Wealth. You shouldn't give up even a single drop of his blood."
After a moment of silence, Su Wen said, "I didn't realize, Sycee, that you were so ruthless."
"Learn from the God of God of Wealth!"
"..."
