Chapter 108: So Far Away

"You…"

The God of Magic paused, then glanced at the portal exuding dark energy, shook his head, and chuckled.

In the next moment, a flash of white light appeared, and the God of Magic vanished from his spot.

After the God of Magic left, Mo Xiaosu, dressed in a petite battle robe, stepped out of the black portal.

"Grandpa, why did you make the God of Magic leave?"

Su Wen looked at Mo Xiaosu, who now wore the Shadow God mask, and asked with a hint of curiosity.

He had initially thought that the God of Theater sent the God of Magic away because Mo Xiaosu wasn’t wearing a mask.

Perhaps the God of Theater didn’t want the God of Magic to see Mo Xiaosu’s true face, so he asked him to leave.

But now, seeing the Shadow God mask on Mo Xiaosu’s face, it was clear that the Star God had given her the mask that belonged to the Shadow God before he left.

"Can’t it just be that I don’t like that old guy?"

The God of Theater spoke up, "He got quite a lot of benefits this time."

"God of Wealth, next time you get a chance, make him pay you back!"

Su Wen was surprised by this, but then nodded and said, "Alright."

He couldn’t shake the feeling that the God of Theater wouldn’t just randomly send the God of Magic away.

Otherwise, since Xiaosu had just finished her training, wouldn’t it have been a good opportunity to ask the God of Magic for some treasures?

It might seem a bit underhanded, but the God of Theater did say that the God of Magic benefited a lot this time, didn’t he?

"Xiaosu, what’s your sequence number for the Arrow Realm?"

The God of Theater asked Mo Xiaosu gently.

Because of the God of Wealth, they couldn’t ignore the Shadow God’s sequence number in the Arrow Realm.

What if something unexpected happened?

"It’s number eight," Mo Xiaosu replied. "My fate task is to disperse a group of shadow monsters."

"After dispersing them, those shadow monsters turn into wisps of black smoke and merge into my shadow."

At this point, Mo Xiaosu paused and said, "Grandpa Theater God, I feel like my shadow contains some kind of power."

"But I can’t use it right now."

The God of Theater chuckled and said, "Xiaosu, you’re the Shadow God. Harnessing the power of your shadow is your natural ability. The reason you haven’t unlocked it yet might just be because your level isn’t high enough."

"So, Grandpa Theater God, what level do I need to reach to use it?"

"If nothing goes wrong, it should be Fourth Rank; if something unexpected happens, then it’s Seventh Rank."

"When a fate bearer with the character ‘God’ reaches Level Two, don’t they also unlock a supernatural ability?"

"While a supernatural ability does get activated at Level Two, it’s usually not something game-changing; it’s more of a supportive ability."

The God of Theater spoke softly, "Also, Xiaosu, don’t tell anyone about your talent ability or supernatural properties. It’s best if only you know about it."

"The less outsiders know, the safer you are!"

Mo Xiaosu nodded seriously. Given her personal experiences, she was cautious about revealing her supernatural abilities to others.

Beside her, Su Wen sighed softly to himself.

A fate bearer with the character "God" who hadn’t yet risen or even found an organization was indeed in great danger.

The future actions of that Yin-Yang Sorcerer would certainly not be isolated incidents.

Imagine having a fate bearer with the character "God" as your servant, carrying out your every command—what an immense advantage that would be!

With such a powerful incentive, what wouldn’t people dare to trample on if there was even a chance of success?

"Xiaosu, are you interested in martial arts?"

Su Wen asked, knowing that every fate bearer with the character "God" could bring significant advancements to martial arts.

Since the Shadow God was on their side, they now had one more person to contribute to the study of martial arts.

He was also curious about the effects of the Shadow God’s Body Refinement Method.

"Is martial arts like what you see on TV, with people leaping over roofs and walls?"

Mo Xiaosu asked softly. It wasn’t that she was being rude, but from her current perspective, the fighting in those martial arts dramas seemed rather unimpressive.

Without even considering supernatural powers or talents, she felt she could easily defeat those so-called martial arts masters with her bare hands.

"No," Su Wen shook his head. "Martial arts, in terms of future potential, is a cultivation system that can stand alongside the fate bearers."

"For example, I’m currently a third-tier warrior."

Mo Xiaosu thought for a moment, then asked, "So, Brother Wealth God, without using your Wealth God powers, could you defeat a regular third-level fate bearer?"

Su Wen: "…"

That was a good question!

Martial arts was still in its infancy!

Barring any surprises, he probably couldn’t win.

In fact, given his situation, even with his Wealth God abilities, he likely wouldn’t be able to defeat an ordinary third-level fate bearer.

After all, the Wealth God’s powers weren’t meant for combat but for making others fight.

"If martial arts can’t compare to fate bearers, why should I bother learning it?"

Mo Xiaosu pressed, her sharp mind picking up on Su Wen’s intentions due to her past experiences.

By asking if she was interested in martial arts, he was clearly setting her up to start learning it.

She wasn’t opposed to learning—in fact, she valued the opportunity.

But if martial artists of the same rank couldn’t even defeat ordinary fate bearers, she couldn’t see why a fate bearer with the character "God" should bother with it.

"Xiaosu, you shouldn’t think like that," the God of Theater interjected. "While martial arts may not be as powerful as the fate bearers’ cultivation system, it has a strong impact on our physical bodies."

"You’ve experienced leveling up, right?"

Mo Xiaosu nodded. "I have, but I can’t quite describe it. It was definitely… different."

The God of Theater smiled. "Leveling up is a leap in life’s hierarchy, an elevation of the soul. Our instincts drive us to pursue the evolution of life, so leveling up is an incredibly profound experience."

"And practicing martial arts allows you to level up twice within a single stage."

"The experience itself is one thing, but it also strengthens your body and makes your soul more resilient!"

Mo Xiaosu nodded, seeming to understand but not entirely.

She got the gist: while martial arts might not be as useful as being a fate bearer, it would still make her stronger.

In that case, she supposed she should give it a try.

"Alright, I’ll first get used to my newly awakened abilities, and then I’ll start learning martial arts," Mo Xiaosu said firmly, clenching her fist.

After a bit more conversation, Mo Xiaosu returned to her office.

"God of Wealth, Xiaosu is still a child," the God of Theater said softly to Su Wen. "Especially after what she’s been through, it’s left her with some… issues."

"So if you want her to practice martial arts, don’t talk to her about enlightenment, grand ideals, or the progress of martial arts."

"Those concepts are too distant for someone like Xiaosu."
