"Breeze..."

With a thought from the Wind God, the flow of the surrounding gas began to subtly change.

"Strange, why can't the breeze sense Brother God of Wealth's emotional changes?"

"And the inner thoughts of the God of Battle God are so complicated!"

"That's weird, never mind."

"I really don't understand the adult world."

"I only have a little homework left. After I finish it, I should be able to play for a while."

"Hey-hey!"

Thinking it over, Wind God pulled his wandering thoughts back and continued writing furiously.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"By the way, Star God, what you just said to the God of Freedom, was it true or were you just fooling him?"

The Theater God picked up the thermos next to him and asked softly.

"Real."

The Star God smiled and said, "The Layi Clan does indeed possess a supreme treasure; I can assure you of that."

"However, whether we can obtain the treasure depends on our ability to exercise freedom."

The Theater God nodded slightly and said, "The Layi Clan is quite powerful. You are free to go and explore their treasure vault."

"If we could pack up and bring back the Layi Clan's millennia-old treasures, it would be a great thing for the entire Huaxia."

The Star God said, "Alright, I'll try my best to bring back the Layi Clan's treasure trove."

Beside him, the Battle God asked in confusion, "Star God, are you going to join forces with the God of Freedom to deal with the Layi Clan?"

The Star God nodded and said, "Yes, I already told the God of Freedom about this when she came here to trade, and she agreed. We'll set off tomorrow."

The Battle God was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked, "Did the God of Freedom just now?"

"Right."

"She didn't lay a hand on you, did she?"

"..."

The Star God took a deep breath, and then the surrounding space shimmered with starlight.

The next moment, the Battle God vanished from his spot.

"Don't worry, the Star God is just teleporting the Battle God to the deep sea, tens of thousands of meters below the surface, and also letting him go there to patrol and see if there's any movement from the Arrow Realm."

The Theater God looked at Su Wen and said with a smile, "You'll get used to it eventually. Sometimes the Battle God can't help but be sarcastic."

"When faced with a foul-mouthed Battle God, the Star God usually teleports him to the Deep Sea Arrow Realm, where he'll survey the area and then swim back on his own."

Su Wen thought for a moment, then asked softly, "Master of Theater God, what would you do if that Battle God provoked you with his foul mouth?"

The Theater God chuckled and said, "I'm not as direct as the Star God. After all, I'm older. To me, the Battle God is still just a child."

So you won't pay any attention to the Battle God?

"No, I will immerse him in my Theatrical Phenomena World, depriving him of his five senses, binding his soul together, and subjecting him to special protective training."

"..."

As expected, the old master of Theater God is quite a ruthless person!

The Star God simply teleported the Battle God to the deep sea; if that didn't work, he could swim back.

At most, it's a little tiring and a waste of some energy.

But the Theater God...

It seems this special protective training must be quite a test of patience.

"If you're interested, you can try it out."

The Theater God laughed and said, "The Battle God said he felt particularly good after the last few times he came out."

Su Wen directly refused, saying, "No need. I think such a blessing should be reserved for the Battle God!"

Deprivation of the five senses, immersion in darkness...

If the enemy were to use this, it would probably be a form of psychological torture, wouldn't it?

But the master of Theater God should have acted with restraint, and the Battle God is so resilient, so saying this was just training doesn't seem unreasonable.

Most importantly, the Battle God also enjoys it; his habit of being sarcastic hasn't changed, which shows that the Theater God's "training" is nothing to him.

Who knows, the Battle God might even see his combat power skyrocket thanks to the Theater God's "training"!

But then again, the commander-in-chief of the East Sea Defense Line and the strongest Battle God in Huaxia during the last timeline actually had this kind of role in the organization?

That's really unexpected!

"God of Wealth Heavenly Mandate Bearer does not venture into the Arrow Realm for an extended period, they will be forcibly conscripted at a certain time."

The Star God's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Especially after the Heavenly Mandate Bearer return from their trials, under normal circumstances, if they do not voluntarily enter the Rule Arrow Realm to explore within seven days, they will be forcibly conscripted."

"But as those God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer, we have the right to refuse conscription."

At this point, the Star God paused, then said, "However, your situation is special, and seems somewhat different from ours."

"So I'm not sure if you'll be forcibly drafted. I'm telling you this so you're mentally prepared for any unexpected situations."

Su Wen's expression turned serious, and he said, "Okay, I understand."

Is it mandatory conscription?

Ordinary Heavenly Mandate Bearer cannot refuse, but those with God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer can refuse.

Hmm... I should be able to refuse; we'll see that in the future.

After dying twice during his exploration of the Arrow Realm, he might avoid going Arrow Realm altogether in the future to avoid further risks.

Otherwise, given how much the beings of the Arrow Realm valued him, how could he have survived until 2024?

Moreover, judging from the frenzied enthusiasm of the creatures in the Arrow Realm towards me, they probably know something about the profession of God of Wealth.

Put yourself in their shoes. If you were a being from the Arrow Realm, seeing the God of God of Wealth's monstrous talent and supernatural abilities, you would be terrified to live even a second longer!

Putting aside time travel, the Bestowal Second Rank supernatural powers is already quite extraordinary.

If Arrow Realm still knew that he could travel through time...

Tens of thousands of the Arrow Realm, and only forty-nine Arrow Realm experts have joined forces? Isn't that underestimating themselves?

He had been a little anxious about being surrounded and killed by the Arrow Realm before, but after traveling through the realm so many times and seeing so many ways to die, he had become desensitized.

Bring it on!

He wanted to see if tens of thousands of the Arrow Realm warriors could eventually unite and revolt.

Moreover, the more eager the creatures of the Arrow Realm are to kill you, doesn't that, from another perspective, prove your strength even more?

"By the way, I can use this 50 billion US dollars as I see fit, right?"

Su Wen changed the subject and asked.

Five hundred billion US dollars, which is equivalent to three hundred billion Huaxia yuan!

A small Wealth Source is equivalent to ten million.

That 300 billion Huaxia is equivalent to 30,000 Wealth Source!

Suddenly, it's gone!

"Sure."

The Star God smiled and said, "This is already your achievement, and you have also secured some pioneering technology for the country."

In other words, the country should thank you for your contributions.

Beside him, the Theater God whispered, "But God of Wealth, don't absorb it all at once. Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change. Meilina's dollar hegemony holds the whole world hostage; too much turmoil might even affect this place."

"Here's what we'll do: you absorb 10 billion US dollars first, just to test the waters!"

Su Wen grinned and said, "Alright!"

Since we have 50 billion US dollars in our own hands, there's no rush.

Let's test the waters with 10 billion US dollars first, and see what kind of storm it will create on the other side of the ocean once we absorb that 10 billion US dollars and transform its "value" into Wealth Source.

This way, we'll have some data to refer to.

The thought was swift, and soon, Su Wen's Wealth Source Points began to change.
