Chapter 295: The Situation is Worse

“Your statement seems a bit off.”

The God of Theater frowned and said, “If what you say is true, then the grand battlefield outside is filled with our subordinates.”

“Our subordinates can even monitor our life status.”

“Then why… don’t they send a few over? Just a few would suffice.”

“Those powerful beings who can directly face the impact and compete across eras are not something the Holy Spirit clan of Demigods can contend with.”

As he spoke, the God of Theater glanced at Su Wen and continued, “And that so-called divine position inheritance—after our death, the divine position transitions to the Arrow Realm.”

“If the divine position can be inherited, it seems they’re selecting the most outstanding successor.”

“But this contradicts the death of the Fighting God and the chaos of the border Fighting God’s legion.”

Su Wen nodded and said, “Indeed, if the Arrow Realm is filled with the former subordinates of the Treasure God, now serving as training targets, why are they so ruthless? They even resort to various conspiracies just to take our lives.”

“Is this training?”

First, the Velier clan and the Huahuaz clan planted spiritual bugs, and during the time of the Wind God’s fall in that sub-timeline, they betrayed the Fighting God.

Then came the united uprising from the various Arrow Realms.

After the divine fate bearers rose to Emperor Level, the Holy Spirit clan, which claimed to be unconcerned with worldly matters, directly intervened.

Not to mention the Ghost Spirit clan and the Cangmu clan…

So many Demigod clans seem eager to tear apart the Fate Bearer System with a Thousand Cuts!

If the Arrow Realm and the Demigod clans are all subordinates of the Treasure God, then this Treasure God is really having a rough time, isn’t he?

Does this mean that I’ve died so many times, humanity has faced extinction multiple times, and endured endless hardships in the racial wars, all because of internal conflicts instigated by former subordinates of the Treasure God?

What kind of situation is this?

The Fighting God’s legion can disregard the greater situation, return en masse, and annihilate the Arrow Realm to bring about the end of the world.

The Star God, the God of Theater—they should also have corresponding legions stationed.

What about me?

Am I being relentlessly targeted by my own subordinates?

“So I say, my thoughts might be a bit crazy.”

The Star God sighed softly and said, “Moreover, if the Arrow Realm truly consists of the Treasure God’s subordinates, then the situation is genuinely dire.”

“If all former subordinates of the Treasure God have betrayed, what about the outside?”

“Will the situation outside be any better?”

“Except for the reckless legion under the Fighting God that still holds true to their purpose and loyalty.”

“Will the rest of the legions left by the divine fate bearers face problems?”

“Or will someone encounter issues?”

“Otherwise, how could the strongest defensive power outside face no problems, while the strongest inside can only rely on Demigod clans?”

“Dare to cause trouble? They’d be executed on the spot!”

The God of Theater’s eyes moved, and he asked in a serious tone, "So you’re suggesting that the transfer of the divine position… is the work of traitors, or a conspiracy between traitors and enemies?"

The Star God nodded and replied, "If the situation is as we suspect, and the entire Arrow Realm is under the control of the God of Wealth’s subordinates, then the possibilities are quite high."

"Of course, this is just my speculation."

"After all, the Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan still refers to the Shadow God as the Great God!"

"By the way, God of Martial Arts, why don’t you release another Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan and see how he addresses me and the God of Theater?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wen focused his mind, and another Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan, besides Zi Wu, appeared in the office area.

However, this Demigod looked nothing like his former self. His once handsome face was now swollen like a pig’s head, and his arms and legs were twisted in unnatural directions.

He looked as if he had been severely beaten and even maliciously tortured.

The Star God and the God of Theater couldn’t help but glance at Su Wen.

What did you do to him?

Didn’t you say that Demigods have strong wills, and you weren’t planning to torture him?

And indeed, torturing him didn’t yield any useful information.

Besides, torturing a Demigod in such a way isn’t exactly appropriate, is it?

A dignified Demigod, if you were to torture him, it shouldn’t just be physical suffering!

Though it looked quite tragic, to be honest, it wasn’t as painful as the intensity of the God of Theater’s casual training session with the Fighting God.

"This wasn’t my doing."

Noticing the gazes of the God of Theater and the Star God, Su Wen sent a mental message.

"No need to explain; we understand."

"It really wasn’t me! It was Ao Xiu, that Little White Dragon; you should remember him!"

"A dragon that timid can do such a thing?"

"No, do you really think it was me?"

"God of Martial Arts! Ao Xiu has been following you; you can’t pin everything on him! Besides, this kind of thing isn’t such a big deal; it’s to extract information!"

"……"

Su Wen’s lips twitched slightly as he stopped arguing.

Bringing this matter up only made things worse.

Although Ao Xiu is timid, he shows no fear within the Gathering Treasure basin.

And these two Demigods had their cultivation sealed; when two sealed Demigods came to Ao Xiu’s territory and woke him from his sleep, isn’t it quite normal for them to get beaten up?

"Buzz!"

Su Wen waved his right hand, and a simple healing magic flew towards the tormented Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan.

"Zi Xuan, thank you, God of Martial Arts…"

After standing up, the Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan said with cupped hands.

Su Wen nodded slightly and said nothing.

Zi Xuan followed Su Wen’s gaze and looked at the Star God and the God of Theater.

“Greetings, Great God Star! Great God of Theater!”

He wasn’t foolish; after being summoned by the God of Martial Arts and seeing the Star God and the God of Theater here, he understood their purpose.

However, some memories deeply rooted in his soul prevented him from lying.

“Hello, Zi Xuan.”

The Star God spoke gently, “May I ask you a question?”

Upon hearing this, Zi Xuan’s body stiffened, and he quickly lowered himself slightly toward the direction of the Star God.

“Please ask, Great God Star!”

“Has my Star Army ever contacted you?”

“……”

Zi Xuan fell silent; he didn’t know how to answer the Star God’s inquiry.

The memories rooted in his soul made him instinctively unwilling to deceive the Star God.

Even though this Star God was a new figure in this era, he was not the same person Zi Xuan remembered!

But there were still things he couldn’t tell this Star God.

“I am very sorry, Great God Star.”

Zi Xuan bowed respectfully and said seriously, “For certain reasons, I cannot tell you.”

The Star God waved his hand indifferently and said, “You don’t have to answer. I ask; you just need to reply with yes or no. Is that… acceptable?”

Silence!

Continued silence!

“You must have seen me before, right?”

Suddenly, the God of Theater asked.

“Yes, I know you visited our Holy Spirit realm, Great God of Theater.”

“Is that so?”

The God of Theater asked in a deep voice, “As a proud Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan, you address me as Great God.”

“Then when I first visited your clan, how did your elders address me and the God of Magic?”

“They directly called you by your name and even showed some disdain.”

“I am curious; you respect me, yet the mid-to-high levels of the Holy Spirit clan seem to look down on me. Can you explain that?”
