Chapter 231: The Message of Detachment

"This time, the Star God’s control over the Starry Array has clearly taken a significant leap. While improving the Starry Array, he’s also managed to set up a Hidden Great Formation," the God of Theater said, smiling as he looked up at the sky. "With this Hidden Great Formation, even if the Starry Array changes and causes phenomena, it won’t be as dramatic."

"And compared to last time, the public should find it easier to accept the explanations about astrology this time around."

As he spoke, the God of Theater turned his gaze to Su Wen and asked, "God of Martial Arts, what do you think will happen if we use the changes in the Starry Array as an opportunity to promote the foundational Body Refinement Technique nationwide?"

Su Wen replied, "The internet will probably explode with discussions about the return of spiritual energy and the government opening up the cultivation system."

The God of Theater chuckled and said, "Actually, that’s not entirely wrong."

"The manifestation of Arrow Realm portals means a Great Change is coming, which isn’t much different from the so-called return of spiritual energy."

He was familiar with the concept of the return of spiritual energy.

In fact, some in the Top Levels had noticed this trending term online and even proposed some plans to guide public opinion.

If the public is already thinking this way, why not just go along with it?

"Boom!!!"

At that moment, a loud explosion came from the Wind God’s office.

In the next instant, a massive whirlwind shot up into the sky, its powerful gusts churning the clouds and turning the once-clear skies above the Imperial Capital into chaos.

"Looks like Xiao Feng has made a big breakthrough!" the God of Theater said with a grin. "While this is definitely something to celebrate, the public didn’t notice the stars, but they sure noticed the wind."

"The meteorological bureau is going to have their hands full again!"

Seeing the God of Theater’s schadenfreude expression, Su Wen couldn’t help but laugh too.

From the God of Theater’s tone, it seemed the meteorological bureau had already prepared for situations like this.

But with a celestial phenomenon just a few days ago and now a storm anomaly, it might not be so easy to explain this time.

Still, Su Wen had faith in the experts.

If they could explain something as bizarre as last time, then a storm should be no problem, right?

What’s the big deal?

Wind is just a natural phenomenon, after all.

He wasn’t an expert in geography and didn’t really understand how warm and cold air currents interacted.

But one thing was certain: when the experts stepped in, they’d have some scientific explanation ready.

And if that didn’t work, they could always dig into ancient records and start talking about the pre-Qin era or even the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

"Hmm?"

As Su Wen watched the phenomena outside, his eyebrows raised.

He suddenly felt a faint connection with the vast and powerful Starry Array that covered the skies above Huaxia.

It was as if he could now vaguely control it, even if only slightly.

"With such a major change in the Starry Array, it seems the Star God won’t be showing up for a while."

The God of Theater spoke, “But it’s fine. When the Fighting God returns, I can handle him myself.”

“He’s so careless; if he gets tricked, a beating from me followed by another from the Star God should be expected.”

“Let’s do it that way! I’ll set off to the Dream Aspect Clan soon.”

As he spoke, the God of Theater picked up his Thermos and added, “By the way, I have a few good friends in the Dream Aspect Clan whom I’ve dealt with before. They will surely welcome my arrival.”

“Let’s not discuss it now; I’ll give them a surprise when the time comes!”

Upon hearing this, Su Wen focused his mind and looked at the God of Theater. This… surprise?

Perhaps it really would be a surprise!

Although this surprise might be difficult for some to accept.

“Buzz!”

A starlight flashed, and then the Star God’s consciousness avatar appeared before the two.

“Star God, why are you here instead of fully transforming the Starry Array?”

The God of Theater twitched his lips. He had just said that the Star God wouldn’t appear for a short time.

Those words were still fresh, yet the next second, the Star God showed up.

That felt like a bit of a slap in the face!

“I have important news!”

The Star God said solemnly. “In the sphere of insights, I perceived information related to divine essence, and among that divine essence information, I found a method for transcendence!”

The God of Theater’s pupils narrowed, and his hands instinctively tightened.

As a result of his unconscious action, the Thermos reached its breaking point and shattered with a loud bang.

“Cough cough!”

The God of Theater waved his hand, quickly clearing away the shattered pieces of the Thermos and the goji berries scattered nearby, before hurriedly changing the topic.

“Quickly tell me, what is this method of transcendence?”

He had been stuck at the Emperor Level limit for several years. It was only after the God of Martial Arts awakened that he began to see visible progress in his combat power.

Otherwise, improving combat power through understanding the art of theater and subtle insights would take an exceedingly long time!

With war on the horizon, he felt a sense of urgency.

Moreover, he was the only one at the Emperor Level limit in the organization. If anyone needed this information the most, it was definitely him!

"Above the Emperor Level, you break the cage of transcendence!" the Star God began. "This level is called the Divine Level."

"And if you want to break through the Emperor Level and enter the Divine Level Hall, there are two ways."

"The easiest and most orthodox way is to be chosen by the Gods, gain a legacy, and inherit the divine position!"

"Then, naturally become a Divine Level being."

The God of Theater took a deep breath and asked, “So… normally, we can directly ascend to the Divine Level without restrictions?”

The Star God nodded slightly. "Yes, but our situation is clearly not normal."

"Chosen by the Gods! Gain a legacy! Inherit the divine position!"

"Though it seems to be one statement, it may actually be three conditions!"

"Being chosen by the Gods may mean that the Gods at the pinnacle select us, guiding us along our growth, letting us step by step reach where they are."

"To gain a legacy is something we may satisfy since our talents, divine powers, laws, and even the essence contained within us might all be legacies given by the Gods."

"However, judging from the God of Martial Arts awakening a second time, the legacy we possess may not be complete."

"And among these three conditions, the only one we might fulfill is the last one: inheriting the divine position."

"But if we only meet one of the three conditions, how can we ascend to the Divine Level?"

Listening to the Star God, the God of Theater let out a heavy sigh.

So that’s how it is!

He had been stuck at the Emperor Level limit all these years, seeing not a glimmer of upward movement.

It even gave him the feeling that his path forward was severed, and he could only remain here for the rest of his life.

If the mysteries of his divine position and essence were not so profound that he knew he just hadn’t found the right path, he would truly be in despair.

Now he understood.

If one condition for ascent is met, then how could ascending be possible?

“What about the second method?”

The God of Theater asked the Star God, his gaze fervent with eagerness.

If the first method was useless, then the second must have value.

Otherwise, the Star God would not have hurried over with such urgency to share the message of transcendence in this manner.
