Chapter 138: Time and Space Projection
"Wealth Source Value: 21,472."
Su Wen observed the change in his Wealth Source Value, realizing that Merina and the European Union might face a brief period of economic disturbance.
Merina, in particular, had absorbed two hundred billion dollars in just a few days.
But that was manageable. After all, the God of Freedom had accompanied the Star God on a visit to the Lai tribe, hadn’t she?
Given that the Star God had reaped significant gains, the God of Freedom’s harvest must have been substantial as well.
So, when economic disturbance hit Merina, the God of Freedom could stabilize the situation by releasing some resources from the Lai tribe.
A fair exchange, in and out—it made perfect sense!
"Esteemed God of Wealth, you have spent 10,000 Wealth Source to nourish the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao."
"Thanks to your generosity, the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao, has undergone a significant enhancement and is now preparing to Level Up."
"The Divine Artifact, Yuanbao, is beginning its Level Up process."
"Level Up Time: Thirty minutes. Please wait patiently, esteemed God of Wealth."
As the announcement concluded, Yuanbao became enveloped in a golden energy cocoon, and a faint phantom of Yuanbao began to manifest above it.
"Forty thousand Wealth Source increased three points of divine essence."
Su Wen gazed at the golden energy cocoon and murmured, "Is five points of divine essence the threshold for Yuanbao’s Level Up?"
With that thought, Su Wen focused his mind and summoned Yuanbao’s attribute panel.
"God of Wealth’s Divine Artifact: Yuanbao."
"Stage: Beginner (Leveling Up)."
"Abilities: Time and Space Communication, Time and Space Projection (awakening)."
"Divine Essence: 5."
"Status: Cannot be nourished."
[This Divine Artifact of the God of Wealth, imbued with countless mysteries and having once communicated with the river of time, is undergoing a profound transformation and Level Up under the influence of Wealth Source.]
Su Wen’s eyes lit up as he noticed Yuanbao’s newly awakened Time and Space Projection ability.
Was this ability what he thought it was?
Could it project individuals from future sub-timelines?
If so, even if it required a significant amount of Wealth Source, his investment of forty thousand Wealth Source would be well worth it.
More importantly, if his guess was correct, his ability to protect himself would skyrocket!
The Star God and others in the main timeline had their own responsibilities and needed to strengthen themselves quickly to stand firm in the coming chaos.
After all, you can’t guard against a thief forever!
Even if you tried, with the endless assassination methods from the Arrow Realm, it would be impossible to defend against them all.
But if he could project powerful beings from future sub-timelines, both his offensive and defensive capabilities would reach an entirely new level!
Just the thought of it filled him with excitement!
Half an hour later, the energy cocoon shattered, and Yuanbao completed its Level Up to the intermediate stage.
"Master, this time Yuanbao has unlocked a new ability."
Yuanbao seemed to sense Su Wen’s anticipation and spoke directly, "This new ability is called Time and Space Projection!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Wen quickly sat up straight.
"This new ability can project the scenes you explore in the future timeline."
"Of course, since projecting the future timeline disrupts the order of time and space from a strict sense, it will attract the attention of the river of time."
"In other words, the more scenes you want to see, the more Wealth Source you need to pay to the river of time as the cost for projecting the future."
Su Wen took a deep breath and said, "So the meaning of Time and Space Projection is equivalent to transforming the written language seen in chaos in time and space into a direct audiovisual experience?"
Yuanbao nodded and replied, "Exactly, it changes from indirect text to intuitive visual imagery."
"So, that’s it?"
"That’s it."
"……"
Su Wen’s eyelid twitched, realizing he had overthought it.
After all, Yuanbao was only intermediate now; how could it have the ability to pull individuals from the future sub-timelines?
Actually, upon reflection, communicating with the river of time and having it take action is somewhat similar to pulling people from the future sub-timelines himself, isn’t it?
The main difference is that the river of time is too expensive and too powerful, able to wipe out everything in an instant.
"That’s fine; it’s like going from reading a novel to watching a movie."
Su Wen changed the subject and asked, "Yuanbao, how does the river of time charge for this?"
Yuanbao replied, "The longer the time you cross and the more future scenes you capture, the higher the Wealth Source you’ll need."
"For example, with your last time travel spanning twenty years and capturing a scene for under ten minutes, it should cost one hundred Wealth Source."
"If we capture all the footage from the past four months, hmm… I’ll go ask about the price; let’s see if they can give a discount for such a large order."
With that, Yuanbao’s small hands began to type blindly in the air.
Su Wen watched Yuanbao busily and sighed.
He had a feeling that Time and Space Projection… would be another gold-sucking monster!
He once thought that as his Level increased, the expenses in chaos in time and space would become a bottomless pit.
Later, the carrying of future items dealt him a fatal blow, revealing that the costs from chaos in time and space were just a drop in the bucket.
Now, Time and Space Projection appeared.
To be honest, relying solely on the narrative’s text description, some precious scenes couldn’t be fully represented.
Certain crucial information might even be glossed over by a mere line from the narration.
Thus, the significance and value of Time and Space Projection became evident at this moment.
Hmm… the manifestation of significance means that the future expenditure of Wealth Source will need to consider the aspect of Time and Space Projection.
It seems like he was even poorer now!
"Master, the river of time has replied."
Yuanbao smiled and said, "Intercepting the four months’ worth of time footage requires an extremely expensive price."
"However, considering it’s your first time using the Time and Space Projection function, the river of time decided to give you a discount of 90%, and only charge you 5,000 Wealth Source."
Su Wen: "……"
So, projecting all the experiences from the last sub-timelines would cost fifty thousand Wealth Source?
Most importantly, he had spent most of those four months studying.
What was there to see?
The martial arts theory system he needed to learn had already been brought back with him.
“Yuanbao, tell the river of time that we hope for a 90% discount next time we buy.”
Su Wen spoke, “This time, since I’ve already experienced it, I’ll let it go.”
Yuanbao made a clear hand gesture and then continued to type blindly.
"Master, the river of time said they can give a 90% discount, but the required projection price must be over 10,000 before the discount."
"So, that means we have to pay at least one thousand?"
"That’s correct."
"Alright, I understand."
Su Wen nodded slightly and said, "Since I’ve obtained this function, let’s give it a try!"
"Yuanbao, activate chaos in time and space!"
The Time and Space Projection, Yuanbao’s new function, would be used to explore this brand new sub-timeline!
He was really eager to see what kind of shock it would bring when the images from the future sub-timelines were projected before him!
