Chapter 318: Endless Reserves

Time flies when you’re touring the Holy Spirit realm.

The dazzling array of sights can truly bewilder the eyes!

The stunning landscapes and various marvelous spectacles of the Holy Spirit clan left Su Wen and the Star God utterly amazed.

Had they not seen it themselves, they would never have believed such wonders existed in the world!

But no matter, they’ve seen it now, and this marvel belongs to China.

As the clock neared eleven fifty-five at night, the celestial officer’s voice once again resonated in Su Wen’s mind.

"Great God, my apologies."

"I couldn’t meet your expectations; I failed to completely eradicate the Holy Spirit clan’s elite combat power."

"Here are our achievements; please take a look, Great God."

"Eight Demigods of the Holy Spirit clan have been slain!"

"In total, we’ve obliterated seventy-seven reserves of the Holy Spirit clan."

"These include, but are not limited to, a thunder giant puppet, a mysterious immortal doll, and a top-tier Demigod Artifact enhanced with seven inscriptions."

"There are also two strands of blessings from the true god and a divine bullet."

"…"

Listening to the celestial officer’s report, Su Wen furrowed his brow.

The reserves of the Holy Spirit clan are just too vast!

A few would be understandable, but dozens, even hundreds?

After destroying seventy-seven reserves, how many are left?

How did the Holy Spirit clan amass so many reserves?

In the previous era… were they gifts from the Great God of Wealth?

If that’s the case, the former Great God of Wealth must have been blind!

Look at what they bestowed as gifts!

And the God of Wealth’s golden token!

The previous Great God of Wealth seemed to fear the New God of Wealth would live too comfortably!

If not for being in charge in this era, with the Holy Spirit clan’s treachery and tactics, he would have been killed countless times already.

Who knows, he might even be sold by the Holy Spirit clan while still counting their coins!

"Great God of Wealth," the celestial officer continued, "the patrol day is almost over."

"We must execute the Scorched Earth Punishment as per the judgment!"

"I request that you and the Star God leave the Holy Spirit realm to avoid being caught in the aftermath."

At their speed, two minutes would suffice to turn the Holy Spirit realm into scorched earth.

With just two or three minutes left, they could still exchange a few words with the Great God before heading back.

Truth be told, they didn’t want to return at all.

After so many years, the Great God had finally appeared, and they hated themselves for not being able to protect him, letting him suffer such disgrace!

The Ghost Spirit clan and the Holy Spirit clan—two insignificant races—what right did they have to make the Great God bow to them?

Damn it all!

It was all because of those cursed rules!

When the ruler is humiliated, the subjects must die!

This phrase perfectly captured their inner emotions.

After witnessing their Great God endure such humiliation, a raging fire burned within all the celestial officers on duty!

If it weren’t for their responsibilities and the terrifying rules, they would have charged out long ago.

But alas, they were still too weak.

“Give me ten seconds!”

Su Wen, looking at the dark chains beginning to manifest in the sky, suddenly spoke.

He focused his mind on the dark chains above, raised his right hand, and offered a thousand sources of wealth.

A key thought had struck him: if the Great God of Wealth had overseen logistics and managed the Arrow Realm in the previous era, then it made sense that the dark chains regulating the celestial officers would also fall under the Great God’s control, right?

And the simplest way to confirm if someone was tied to wealth was to see if they reacted to sources of wealth.

“Vroom!”

High above, the immense and terrifying dark chains of rules trembled slightly before settling back into stillness, as if nothing had happened.

The dark chains continued to twist and turn in the sky, showing no signs of retreating.

“Actually, even after the celestial officers leave, I can still keep fighting!”

Su Wen thought to himself: “The wealth I’ve gained from this trip to the Holy Spirit realm is truly staggering!”

“The boost to my Martial Arts Supernatural Power has reached an unprecedented level.”

“Last time, I managed to defeat three Demigods of the Holy Spirit clan—how much easier would it be now?”

“If things get tough, I’ll just amplify the Fighting God’s power again!”

“After all, I’ve earned so much wealth this time; a few million more won’t make a difference.”

With that thought, Su Wen glanced at the endless resources the Holy Spirit clan kept revealing, pondered for a moment, and sighed softly.

Never mind!

Thanks to the former Great God of Wealth, who knows how many secrets the Holy Spirit clan still holds?

No wonder, in the sub-timelines, the Star God only managed to destroy the Holy Spirit realm while the Holy Spirit clan itself survived.

As an immortal half-god, one should be able to crush everything.

Yet, even the immortal half-god Star God chose to retreat when facing the Holy Spirit clan.

With my current small size, it’s better not to step forward and show off!

Everything can wait until the God of Theater finishes his promotion!

If it doesn’t work out, we can always have the God of Theater come back later to test the depth of the Holy Spirit clan’s waters.

The celestial officers have already wiped out so much of their foundation; it’s hard to believe the Holy Spirit clan’s resources are endless!

“Star God, let’s go!”

Su Wen sent a message. “Time is almost up!”

In the distance, the Star God nodded and replied, “Alright, let’s go!”

As he spoke, the Star God pressed down with his right hand and blew up a nearby inaccessible treasury.

“The Holy Spirit clan… the Holy Spirit realm…”

“If you were soldiers under the Star God of the previous era, then that Star God really dropped the ball!”

“He couldn’t even figure this out and just let them leave!”

“Given how much respect the Holy Spirit clan shows, the Star God of the previous era must have treated them pretty well!”

“Hmph!”

The Star God glanced around, then stepped forward and appeared outside the Holy Spirit realm.

At the same time, Su Wen’s figure also appeared nearby.

When the celestial officers saw the two return, their auras momentarily froze.

The next moment, the overwhelming power of destruction began to unfold.

Scorched Earth Punishment!

Begin!

“Our holy land is the external manifestation of the internal power of the God of Wealth’s golden token!”

An elder of the Holy Spirit clan, noticing the celestial officers’ intentions, shouted in anger, “Your actions are a direct challenge to the God of Wealth’s golden token!”

“You are betraying divine grace!”

As he shouted, the elder suddenly noticed Su Wen and the Star God below.

The moment he saw them, the elder fell silent.

“You…”

The elder glanced at the celestial officer, then at the Star God, looked back at the celestial officer, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Wen.

“Now I get it!”

“I understand everything!”

“Our clan is truly burdened with grave sins!”

The elder’s voice began to echo throughout the Arrow Realm, as if he was about to reveal something of great importance.

Noticing the elder’s intent, the celestial officers didn’t hesitate; they unleashed their Thunderous Means, aiming to obliterate his spirit!

But the elder had survived the celestial officers’ power not just because of the Holy Spirit clan’s endless resources, but also due to his immense strength.

In no time, the celestial officers only managed to shatter the elder’s physical body and scatter his soul.

Yet his true spirit continued to speak of monumental matters!

“Originally, the God of Martial Arts…”

Just as his resilient true spirit was about to reveal the truth, the resonating words of the true spirit began to spread across all areas of the Arrow Realm.

In the next moment, a crushing force descended from the sky, ready to annihilate everything.

At the same time, an extremely thin dark chain pierced through space and instantly impaled the elder’s resilient true spirit, erasing all traces of his existence.
