Chapter 73: Destiny Tragedy
"Wealth Source Value: 6056.5 (+)."
As Su Wen looked at his Wealth Source Value, a refreshing feeling surged through him.
Since becoming the God of Wealth, this was the richest he had ever been.
Over six thousand Wealth Source Value!
Just looking at it feels good!
Finally, he no longer had to worry about the emotional ups and downs caused by fluctuations of just a few Wealth Sources. Now, he could be considered a thousand-dollar household, right?
His waist suddenly felt fuller.
With more Wealth Source Value, when he activated chaos in time and space in the future, he would speak with greater confidence.
If he made some moves in the future, wouldn’t it attract the attention of the river of time?
Before, he had been fearful, worried that the river of time would be displeased and kick him out of the future Time and Space.
Now, he was less afraid.
Doesn’t the river of time require a toll?
He had money!
He could just give it to them!
"Notice: While under the gaze of the river of time, you have again attracted its attention."
"Buff: Attention of the river of time."
【Within 10 hours, the consumption of Wealth Source Value in time and space will double (can stack).】
Su Wen: “……”
Holy cow!
I forgot that I’m still under the attention of the river of time.
Ahem!
This… Wealth Source is very important; if I can pay less, why should I pay more?
Although six thousand looks like a lot, he still feels it’s not enough.
This vast river of time, connecting the past, present, and future, holds endless mysteries and wonders, making it the most powerful and imperceptible existence in the world.
After complimenting the river of time a bit, Su Wen gathered his thoughts.
He needed to change his habit of complaining about the river of time!
This is all Wealth Source!
"Are you done?"
The Star God looked at Su Wen and asked softly.
"I’m done."
Su Wen nodded slightly and said, "I absorbed one hundred million dollars, and overall, it was a great harvest!"
The Star God smiled and said, "As long as you’ve gained something, that’s good!"
He then turned to the God of Theater and said, "God of Theater, for tomorrow’s battle, I need to prepare some Star Martial Arts. Could you brief the God of Wealth on the details about the Arrow Realm?"
The God of Theater took a sip of his goji berry tea and replied, "No problem, I’ll handle it."
"That puts my mind at ease."
With that, the Star God waved to Su Wen and vanished in a flash.
"God of Theater, how long does Fighting God usually take to return?" Su Wen asked, glancing at the spot where Fighting God had been standing.
"Usually, about three or four hours, if all goes well," the God of Theater said, waving his hand. "Fighting God is tough as nails. He needs all sorts of challenges and training on his Path to grow stronger and rise faster."
"Plus, with his resilient fate, he’s not likely to die anytime soon, so no need to worry about him."
The God of Theater paused, then continued, "Let me fill you in on the Arrow Realm."
"Normally, the Star God would explain this, but since he’s busy, I’ll step in."
"Fate bearers come from all walks of life—students, businessmen, employees, even thieves, robbers, and those in special industries. Anyone can become a fate bearer."
"We’re called fate bearers because our emergence is irregular and unpredictable."
"Anyone could become one."
"But there’s also a certain inevitability to it. If you dig deeper, it touches on the philosophical debate between chance and necessity."
"In other words, anyone can become a fate bearer, but if you trace it back, in a way, fate bearers… are destined to be fate bearers!"
"Take you, for example. Even if the world goes to hell—wars, plagues, disasters—as long as you survive, you’re bound to become the God of Wealth."
Su Wen murmured, "The fate bearer gives hope to everyone, but from the perspective of fate, it’s also brutally decisive in setting their role."
The God of Theater nodded. "Exactly. It’s like the tragic fate in Greek theater, where the hero’s doom is sealed from birth."
"Take King Oedipus, from Sophocles’ play. He was destined to kill his father and marry his mother, no matter how hard he tried to escape it."
"No amount of struggle—from him or those around him—could change that prophecy. It was inevitable."
"Fate… is mysterious and untouchable."
"And ancient Greek tragedy has a lot in common with the concept of the fate bearer."
Su Wen: “……”
God of Theater, why bring up Greek tragedy in front of him?
And the whole King Oedipus killing his dad and marrying his mom thing!
Holy cow!
Now that he knew how mysterious the God of Theater could be, he was starting to feel uneasy.
This had to be just an example, right?
Not some hint about his own future, right?
Who could handle that kind of future?
"Did Fighting God tell you anything about me?"
The God of Theater seemed to sense Su Wen’s thoughts and smiled, saying, "Don’t worry. Your fate is unique, ever-changing, and impossible to predict."
"So when you chat with me about theater, you don’t have to be as nervous as Fighting God."
"When I brought up King Oedipus and Greek tragedies, it was just an example."
Hearing this, Su Wen relaxed and said, "I think I suddenly get why Brother God of Fighting sometimes seems so paranoid."
The God of Theater, curious, asked, "What do you mean?"
"God of Theater, if you can’t predict the Star God’s future, does that mean the Star God can’t predict yours either?"
"Exactly. At my level, with Theater Protection, the Star God’s efforts are useless."
"So you and the Star God can’t predict each other’s futures, but you can both predict Fighting God’s. Doesn’t that mean you’re just picking on him?"
"……"
The God of Theater chuckled and said, "You’ve got a point. That kid Xiao Feng is still too young."
"Plus, he’s always by my side, busy every day, with no time to wander around."
"I can’t predict the Star God’s future, and yours is too chaotic, so when I use Theater Protection to search for future information, I naturally focus more on Fighting God."
Su Wen smiled and said, "Exactly! The Star God probably thinks the same way, which is why Brother God of Fighting sometimes seems so lost."
In the organization, there are five fate bearers with the character "God."
The God of Theater and the Star God can predict the future, the Wind God can sense good and evil and detect emotional fluctuations.
As their powers grow, they might even be able to read minds.
They can also cross time and space to gather future information.
Only Fighting God seems clueless, with no way to gather information.
"From another perspective, Fighting God should be happy," the God of Theater said. "With us gathering information for him, all he has to do is fight."
"If I could, I’d trade places with Fighting God."
As he spoke, the God of Theater suddenly paused.
A moment later, he added thoughtfully, "But then again, if I were Fighting God and charged into every battle, I probably wouldn’t have survived this long…"
