Chapter 199: Give the Opponent a Shot

[After Shadow God shared this crucial matter with you, she suggested you clear your mind and call upon the Starry Array that stretches across the sky of China with pure thoughts.]

[Following Shadow God’s guidance, you began to experience the abilities that the highest controller of the Starry Array should possess.]

[As you called upon it…]

[The Starry Array, which guards China, trembled slightly in response to your call, and an invisible wave emanated from above.]

[Under the influence of this invisible wave, your thoughts crossed time and space, entering a world surrounded by countless stars.]

[As you personally witnessed the inner workings of the Starry Array, you couldn’t help but feel amazed by the magnificent and vast project before you.]

[Thousands of powers of stars surged from all directions into the control core of the Starry Array, and this immense star energy transformed into layers of barriers, creating a vast shield over China.]

[Even if the Star God was absent, even without anyone controlling the Starry Array, it continued to function as envisioned by the Star God before his fall, absorbing the power of stars to protect his beloved homeland.]

[Due to your unfamiliarity with the Starry Array, you didn’t dare to move about carelessly; instead, you began to grasp, through its vague guidance, how to determine locations across the country using the Starry Array’s power.]

[At the same time, you acquired the ability to teleport instantly across the nation.]

[The Starry Array covers the entire country, and the teleportation-type star array is one of the Star God’s specialties, so as long as the Starry Array is operational, you can go wherever you please.]

[Another crucial ability of the Starry Array is that you can wield its power for precise strikes across the nation.]

[Thanks to decades of improvements and maintenance by the Star God, the striking capability of the Starry Array has greatly increased.]

[Even a powerful being at the Emperor Level limits would fall under the continuous attack and star power blockade of the Starry Array.]

[This is also the reason why those in the Arrow Realm would love to dismantle the Starry Array; after all, countless king-level and Emperor Level powerful beings have fallen under its attacks.]

Su Wen looked ahead at the Star God, unable to help but admire him more and more. The Star God… truly was strong!

And now he felt that he had gone too easy on Fighting God earlier.

If he had known about this matter before confronting Fighting God, he definitely would have made sure to use a couple of forbidden spells to whet Fighting God’s appetite during the earlier activities.

This guy!

Forget the first two major events, but how could he also forget something this important?

He didn’t believe that such a critical matter could go unnoticed by both the Star God and God of Theater without informing Fighting God.

That must mean Fighting God was too drunk to remember!

“God of Martial Arts, what’s wrong?”

Noticing Su Wen’s gaze, the Star God quietly asked.

“Nothing.”

Su Wen replied, “I just suddenly feel like I might have gone too easy on him earlier?”

Fighting God: “???”

What does that mean?

Isn’t that enough?

His face is already swollen like a pig’s head! What was going through the mind of the guy who gave the God of Martial Arts the sphere of insights?

Do I really hate myself this much?

Damn!

If I ever see that person again, I’m gonna shoot them!

Wait… shooting them is too easy. Once I’m stronger, I’ll make sure they end up as messed up as I am now.

How shameless!

I’ve been beaten to a pulp, and I’m still not satisfied?

“What do you mean?”

God of Theater raised an eyebrow. “Are we not allowed to fight?”

Is the future Fighting God really this bold?

I thought the whole deal with the future Fighting God taking on the current Fighting God was just for show.

But from what the God of Martial Arts is saying, are they actually going to fight for real?

“What’s the plan?”

Star God chimed in, “We need to carefully calculate Fighting God’s physical fitness and recovery abilities, factoring in the healing power of the Theater World.”

“Based on the overall calculations, can we keep Fighting God alive without causing any serious damage, just enough to keep him bedridden for a few months?”

“But given Fighting God’s recovery rate, as long as he’s still breathing, he’ll be back on his feet in just a few days.”

Star God paused, then added thoughtfully, “Is the request really for us to keep beating Fighting God nonstop?”

Fighting God gulped. “No… that can’t be it, right? Even jokes have their limits!”

God of Theater shot him a look. “Who’s joking?”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Fighting God sighed. “Fine, let’s do it! Just don’t hit my face!”

Nearby, Su Wen chuckled. “You’re overthinking it. The whole ‘beating Fighting God’ thing is already over.”

Then, realizing he needed to be more precise, he added, “Well, temporarily over. Whether we’ll keep beating him in the future depends on whether someone here has any dreams.”

“I was just speaking my mind, thinking that someone here has no brain at all!”

Fighting God glanced around, then cautiously asked, “God of Martial Arts, that ‘someone’ you’re talking about… it’s not me, is it?”

Su Wen took a deep breath. “I just learned something huge—something that could determine the future survival of China!”

Hearing this, Star God and God of Theater immediately straightened up and moved closer.

If the God of Martial Arts was bringing up something this serious, they knew they had to pay attention.

Even Fighting God, with his face swollen like a balloon, shuffled over.

“On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2050—twenty-eight years from now—the world will undergo a Great Change!”

Su Wen looked around at everyone and shared everything he knew.

Of course, he left out the details about the Starry Array.

Since the sub-timelines Star God had already gone through so much trouble to set things up for him, why should he refuse their goodwill?

“Twenty-eight years…”

God of Theater gazed up at the sky and murmured, “That time frame… it’s long enough for a country to undergo massive changes, but it’s also incredibly short.”

“Compared to the Arrow Realm, where records span thousands of years, twenty-eight years is nothing.”

“The world will change drastically, the Earth will awaken, and the Arrow Realm will be fully unsealed.”

“I even wonder… once the Earth has awakened enough, will the Earth Deities guarding the Arrow Realm be able to step out of it?”

“If they can, we’re in serious trouble.”

“Even if Fighting God can take on an Earth Deity in the future, fighting just one is no small feat.”

“What if three Earth Deities team up? Even if Fighting God can escape, what about five? Ten? A hundred?”

“The Arrow Realm has at least seventy thousand of them!”

Su Wen thought for a moment, then said, “Everyone, I’ve brought back some information related to divine essence. This divine essence information is incredibly valuable. Could it… point to a realm beyond the Emperor Level?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Theater World fell into an eerie silence.
