Chapter 23: The Celestial Officer Intervenes
"Whoosh!"
A beam of white light shot down from the sky, whisking Su Wen away from the Arrow Realm.
"No!!!"
The Monkey King sensed Su Wen’s departure and his eyes bulged with rage and despair.
Was the God of Wealth really leaving just like that?
Why didn’t he explore Monkey King City?
The city’s defenses were weak, their main forces depleted—entering would have been a sure win.
The God of Wealth was right there in front of them. They had laid out so many plans, even predicted his possible moves.
Their fortunes were… practically in their hands!
But why did the God of Wealth just glance at the city gate and leave?
If this was a training mission, wouldn’t he want to improve his results?
They had sacrificed so much, even burning their own lives for this act, fighting to the death.
And Anger Liar was truly on the brink of death, gravely injured.
After paying such a heavy price, were they really being told it was all for nothing?
Couldn’t they at least have a glimmer of hope?
Even if the God of Wealth had gone to the royal palace and all their plans had failed, it would have been better than him not entering at all.
At least if he had killed Anger Liar, it would have shown their plan had failed!
Failure was better than all their schemes and sacrifices amounting to nothing!
"Leopard King, let’s stop this fight!"
"There’s no point in continuing."
The Monkey King, after mustering his strength, struck Leopard King aside and spoke with exhaustion.
He had no interest or reason to keep fighting Leopard King.
Continuing the battle was pointless.
Leopard King: "???"
He stared at the Monkey King, utterly baffled.
Then came the fury—how dare these damn monkeys from the Monkey Kingdom treat this fight like some game?
You start when you want, stop when you want?
Do they really think the Monkey Kingdom has the upper hand?
If it’s so meaningless, why did they fight so fiercely just now?
Burning their lives, putting on a desperate show—it left him completely confused.
Now that they’ve fought with everything they’ve got, he just calls it off?
He brought his troops here just to put on a show?
"Boom————"
Suddenly, a pillar of starlight descended from the sky, striking the northwest corner of the Monkey Palace with the precision of a heavenly disaster.
In the next moment, the entire area under the influence of the Monkey Kingdom trembled slightly from the force of the attack.
The Monkey Palace, directly hit by the light beam, turned to dust, scattering as if the palace had never existed.
This was the true power of Star Martial Arts!
The claim that nothing grows within a thousand meters is just a saying from the Star God.
To ensure Su Wen, the God of Wealth, could successfully Level Up and return safely as a first-level God of Wealth, the Star God had prepared more than just a simple backup plan.
The three modes of using Star Martial Arts are merely the basics.
Once activated, and even after detecting that the user has left, Star Martial Arts would unleash its full power to achieve the user’s goals.
Moreover, within a range of ten thousand meters, there are indeed multiple one-thousand-meter areas.
So, saying that nothing grows within a thousand meters isn’t entirely incorrect.
After all, the Arrow Realm experiences of fate bearers with the character "God" vary greatly, some being quite bizarre and confusing.
Of course, if Su Wen hadn’t used the Star Martial Arts provided, that would have been preferable.
But since he did, the Star God ensured to add one final layer of security for the God of Wealth.
Leopard King: "……"
After witnessing the destruction of the Monkey Palace and the devastation of the Monkey King City, Leopard King finally understood.
Even without much thought, seeing such a scene made everything clear.
He had unknowingly been caught in a deadly conflict between the Monkey Kingdom and another force.
What the hell?
The strange behavior of the Monkey King and his followers now made sense.
Hmm… maybe it’s time to retreat?
The atmosphere felt odd and heavy.
He grasped the situation, but not entirely.
Before fully understanding what was going on, it was best to pull back!
With that in mind, Leopard King signaled his men and quickly led his troops away.
Meanwhile, the top levels of the Monkey Kingdom gazed upon the ruins of the Monkey King City, all sinking into a peculiar silence.
……
"God of Wealth status: Returned."
"God of Wealth training: Completed."
"Starting to detect training information and evaluate the training level."
"Killed copper coin monkey: Completed."
"Killed Black Coin Monkey: Completed."
"Killed Silver Coin Monkey: Completed."
"Killed Gold Coin Monkey: Completed."
"Killed Purple Coin Monkey: Completed."
"Occupied: A small mine."
"Level Up: Level One."
"Life Form Upgrade: Level Two."
"Destroyed: A small mine."
"Destroyed: Four large gates."
"Destroyed: A medium defense system."
"Destroyed: Five medium defense formations."
"……"
"Destroyed: Monkey Palace."
"Destroyed: Monkey King City."
"Overall Evaluation: An excellent Zero-Level God of Wealth, you single-handedly plunged the powerful Monkey Kingdom in the trial interface into extreme chaos and significantly impacted the faraway Leopard Kingdom."
"Beginning to evaluate the God of Wealth’s training……."
In a space surrounded by a white haze, a series of messages began to flash in front of Su Wen.
As he watched the information scrolling before him, he understood this was scoring his actions during the training process.
However, when he saw the list of what he had destroyed, his gaze froze.
"This… is the power of Star Martial Arts so great?"
Su Wen murmured softly. Before he left, he had only destroyed one small mine at most.
He could understand the Gold Coin Monkey and Purple Coin Monkey, and it was normal to have killed Golden Light Monkey under the strike of Star Martial Arts.
But destroying so many buildings, including the Monkey Palace and Monkey King City, seemed a bit outrageous, right?
Although he hadn’t wandered inside Monkey King City, he could still see its grandeur from outside.
"It seems the Star God’s saying that nothing grows within a thousand meters has some hidden truth!"
Su Wen shook his head helplessly. However, from the arrangement of Star Martial Arts by the white chess piece, he could glimpse the working style of the Star God.
Of course, this was just his personal shallow speculation.
To ensure the successful completion of his training, the Star God considered everything very thoroughly.
One could say, no wonder he was the president of the future battlefield!
His considerations were all-encompassing, and even if a fate bearer stronger than the Star God appeared in the future, it was likely that no one would be as suited to be a president as the Star God.
Moreover, how many could be stronger than the Star God in the future?
At this stage, with the training weapons available to him, they could destroy Monkey King City, which indicated incredible power…
He was unclear about the power levels corresponding to the ranks, so he couldn’t extend his imagination and could only say his imagination was lacking.
"Notification: The celestial officer of the God of Wealth trial interface is starting to intervene…"
Just as Su Wen was lost in thought, a cold notification sound suddenly rang out.
In the next moment, a phantom figure appeared before Su Wen.
