Chapter 200: The Attitude of the Celestial Officer

At this moment, even the Shadow God and Fighting God, who didn’t fully grasp the significance of divine essence information, could sense the unusual atmosphere around them.

It seems divine essence information is truly something extraordinary!

“My understanding of divine essence comes solely from the divine essence within the fate bearer with the character ‘God,’” the God of Theater said after a brief pause. “The divine essence of the art of theater within me helped me understand the shadow essence when little Shadow awakened.”

As he spoke, the God of Theater glanced toward the nearby Dark God.

“And also the Dark God’s darkness essence.”

“Studying these three types of divine essence has allowed me to glimpse the endless mysteries they hold.”

“It’s no exaggeration to say that even with decades of effort, I still wouldn’t comprehend even one percent of the profundity of the divine essence within me.”

“I once visited the Holy Spirit realm with the God of Magic. We exchanged treasures for a chance to observe the ancient writings.”

“What I saw was the grand and unknowable river of time—a presence so vast and mysterious that only those above the Emperor Level might ever glimpse its essence.”

“As for swimming through the river of time, I’m not even sure if such powerful beings exist.”

“The God of Magic, on the other hand, observed a partial interpretation of divine essence information.”

“To advance beyond the Emperor Level, one must not only master their own divine powers and laws but also possess items related to divine essence.”

“However, the God of Magic didn’t see the most critical part. The Holy Spirit clan made it clear that accessing the most important information would require offering twenty treasured items.”

“We discussed it and decided that even if we had those items, we wouldn’t trade them for such vague information.”

“Twenty treasures for an uncertain piece of information? If it’s a genuine path to advancement, fine. But if it’s false, it would be a colossal waste.”

Nearby, the Star God chimed in, “God of Martial Arts, ever since your second awakening, I’ve suspected that our divine positions might be incomplete.”

“An incomplete divine position could be one of the reasons we’re stuck at the Emperor Level limit.”

“Otherwise, isn’t it strange that we all hold divine positions yet remain unable to surpass the Emperor Level?”

“What’s more, Earth Deities are all above the Emperor Level. How is it that a divine fate bearer, even at their peak, can’t defeat an Earth Deity?”

The Star God paused, then added, “This suspicion stems from a conversation I had with a celestial officer during our exploration of the Arrow Realm.”

“Though the celestial officer didn’t say it outright, the underlying tone of their words was clear: they look down on Earth Deities.”

“Celestial officers disdain Earth Deities.”

“Yet, they treat us, the divine fate bearers, with exceptional kindness. There’s clearly some information gap we’re missing.”

Su Wen nodded in agreement. “Indeed, I’ve also noticed the friendly attitude of the celestial officers.”

During his exploration of the Arrow Realm, the celestial officer’s unexpected praise had left him thoroughly impressed.

He even wondered if, even without using Star Martial Arts to destroy Monkey King City, his Training Rating would still have been unmatched in history.

This meant the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao, was destined to fall into his hands.

“Right?” the Star God said with a smile. “If you analyze the celestial officer’s attitude and their words carefully, you can uncover a lot of useful information.”

“After all, when celestial officers conduct Training Ratings, they provide explanations for tasks or details about rewards.”

“If someone wants to clarify something, they’ll inevitably give us enough information to understand it,” the Star God explained.

Fighting God frowned, confused. “What do you mean? Isn’t a task explanation just a set of instructions? They give us a goal, and we go do it. What’s there to figure out?”

The Star God chuckled. “Let me give you an example. Think about multiple-choice questions in exam-oriented education. In a major exam, a single-choice question is designed to be objective and have only one correct answer.”

“So, the question itself and the options often contain clues. For instance, if a question asks, ‘How do you know someone is a good person?’ Doesn’t that imply that the person *is* good?”

“Or take something like, ‘Twenty years ago, things were like this.’ The hidden message is that things aren’t like that anymore.”

“If someone suggests you do something, it means it hasn’t been done yet. If they tell you not to do something, it means it’s already happened.”

“…”

Su Wen watched the Star God explain this to Fighting God, slightly puzzled. Weren’t they just talking about the celestial officers? How did the conversation shift to exam-oriented education?

Hmm… The Star God speaks so professionally about this. Was he a teacher in the past?

“Fighting God’s a bit slow on the uptake, so the Star God’s breaking it down for him,” the God of Theater interjected. “But let’s get back to our main topic. What’s this about divine essence information?”

Su Wen spoke up. “Divine essence information comes from the Star God’s upcoming sphere of insights. Essentially, it’s the Star God’s future understanding.”

The God of Theater paused, surprised. “If that’s the case, then we should prioritize the Star God for this sphere of insights. Divine essence information is crucial.”

He hadn’t expected the Star God’s sphere of insights to contain divine essence information.

“Oh, by the way,” the God of Theater added, “I brought you some special goods over the past few days. I got so caught up dealing with Fighting God that I almost forgot about it.”

“I didn’t take the entire monetary system from the four clans. I left half behind for them to keep developing.”

Su Wen nodded. “Half is enough. Absorbing too many special goods at once could cause problems.”

As soon as he finished speaking, four massive, mountain-like monetary systems appeared before Su Wen.

“These four clans are fairly strong,” the God of Theater remarked. “We can’t just keep targeting the Snow Spirit Clan every day.”

“I’m still holding back for now, but once we make a real breakthrough, I won’t hesitate anymore.”

The God of Martial Arts had already collected the divine essence aura, and the speed of progress had exceeded expectations. Seeing the future had made the God of Theater more cautious in his actions.

“Hm?” The God of Theater suddenly made a sound of suspicion.

At the same time, the Star God turned away from Fighting God, stopping his explanation of logic.

“What’s the Azure Eye Clan doing here?” the Star God asked, frowning. “And why are they making such a grand entrance? Are they declaring their allegiance to us in the Arrow Realm?”

The God of Theater snorted. “If they’re hoping to use our power to deal with the fallout of their rebellion, they’ll have to pay a price. Nothing comes for free.”

“First Duke and Third Duke are here. Let’s go meet them.”

“The Azure Eye Clan has a long history. I once snuck into their library to study their records, but I didn’t find what I was looking for.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Theater World dissolved.

“Buzz!”

In the center of the office area, a massive star array began to form. Moments later, a dozen figures emerged from it. As they stepped out, they all bowed respectfully toward the God of Theater.
