Chapter 323: Connection with the Lost Clan

The celestial officer glanced at the roaring talents of the Holy Spirit clan, a glint flashing in his eyes.

“Great God of Wealth, perhaps you can use this anger to gather some intel.”

“From what I’ve studied about the Holy Spirit clan, they know about the celestial officer’s patrol on October 15th.”

“They’re also aware that acting against you now and breaking the rules recklessly will lead to serious consequences.”

“But they still went ahead because their earlier attempts to probe your identity in the Demon Witch realm, whether by the Ghost Spirit clan or the Holy Spirit clan, were a gamble.”

“Before the major event arrives, they can’t enter the main realm.”

“That’s why, when you were in the Demon Witch realm, the Demigod of the Ghost Spirit clan and the Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan showed up, trying to figure out who you were through all sorts of tricks.”

“Once they confirm your identity, they’ll feel confident enough to capture you and drag you back to the Holy Spirit realm and the Ghost Spirit realm.”

“For the Ghost Spirit clan, they’ve got an ancient pact.”

“As long as the Great God of Wealth lives, the Ghost Spirit won’t make a move!”

“But if the Great God of Wealth of this age is in the hands of the Ghost Spirit clan, we’d naturally be hesitant to act.”

“What does the celestial officer’s patrol matter then?”

“With you in the Ghost Spirit clan’s grasp, what can we even do?”

“Even on October 15th, the day of the patrol, we might be forced by the Ghost Spirit clan to help them with certain things, using you as leverage.”

“It’s the same with the Holy Spirit clan.”

“If they manage to capture you and take you back to the Holy Spirit realm, the so-called patrol of the celestial officer and the judgment of evil won’t fall on them.”

“The Holy Spirit clan would even study you, trying to figure out the abilities and divine powers of the Great God of Wealth through various methods.”

“Great God, I now have reason to suspect that the lost clan’s influence has reached this far, and the Holy Spirit clan is definitely connected to them.”

“Here’s why.”

“First, two thousand three hundred years ago, a coup was launched from the top down within the Holy Spirit clan.”

“That coup led to the deaths of nearly eleven half-gods, and the cultivators above the Emperor Level underwent a massive reshuffle.”

“If it weren’t for that, the Holy Spirit clan wouldn’t be so weak today.”

“Second, one thousand five hundred years ago, the Holy Spirit clan introduced a new rule.”

“If the clan faces extermination or a major crisis, as soon as the alarm sounds, cultivators above the Emperor Level must destroy the local Library and hidden archives as quickly as possible.”

“All books containing ancient information and any records of previous eras must be completely destroyed!”

“Anyone caught hiding them will face annihilation!”

“When this rule was first announced, I didn’t get it, but now I see that the Holy Spirit clan was already preparing for what’s happening today, a thousand five hundred years ago.”

“…”

“Third, one hundred seventy years ago, the Holy Spirit Academy introduced new rules.”

“All Favorites of the Heavens entering the Holy Spirit Academy must score excellently in cultural subjects like era history and ancient studies.”

“In the Holy Spirit Academy, excellence means scoring ninety-nine out of a hundred.”

“Twenty-nine, on the day before graduation, all prodigies of the Holy Spirit clan have restrictions implanted in their minds by their ancestors.”

“Unless they consent, any attempt at soul searching will first backlash against the searcher, then trigger the restrictions for a spatial escape.”

“If the escape fails, their souls will perish, and their true spirits will scatter.”

“Because of this, the moment they realized you are the God of Martial Arts and that you had allied with the ‘Great God of Wealth’ to plot against them, the Holy Spirit clan began strictly enforcing the new rule set fifteen hundred years ago.”

“Now, all related records of the Holy Spirit clan have been obliterated.”

“Although I’ve done some research on the Holy Spirit clan over the years, it’s not extensive—just a bit here and there.”

“The key issue is, revealing too many secrets might draw the attention of the dark chains, and it’s time-consuming, possibly exceeding the sixteen-day limit before the celestial officer’s patrol.”

“But these Holy Spirit clan prodigies are different. If the Great God of Wealth confirms they have the knowledge you seek in their minds, I can muddle their perceptions.”

“I can make them believe they’ve entered a teleportation formation; then, Great God, you can bring them back to Huaxia.”

“They’ll see Huaxia as an ally and settle there long-term. Everything they see, hear, and experience… all inconsistencies will be self-corrected and perfectly rationalized in their memories.”

The celestial officer poured all his thoughts and suggestions about the Holy Spirit clan into Su Wen’s mind.

Though the information was vast, with the celestial officer’s power and Su Wen’s soul strength, the transfer was done in an instant.

Hearing the celestial officer’s words, Su Wen gave him a deep look.

“This celestial officer is quite something!”

When the Holy Spirit clan is wiped out, he’ll show his gratitude for the celestial officers’ hard work and might even give this one a little extra.

Those who follow him shouldn’t lack resources, right?

The celestial officers have been working tirelessly these past few days; it’s only fair to share some wealth in return.

After all, the massive gains this time are all thanks to the celestial officers’ efforts.

Rewards for hard work keep the passion alive.

If he only talks about ideals and ambitions, then offers empty promises, would the celestial officers be happy?

He’s the Great God of Wealth!

So, handing out some wealth, a small red envelope, isn’t too much, is it?

“You called me a thief?”

Su Wen glared at the Holy Spirit clan prodigies and shouted, “What about you?”

“The Holy Spirit clan is a vassal of the Great God of Wealth!”

“Your ancestors earned that glory and received countless blessings and rewards from the Great God of Wealth of the previous era.”

“And what did you do? You ungrateful descendants attacked and framed the Great God of Wealth when he was weak!”

“Aren’t you the Holy Spirit clan, the ones who pride themselves on propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor?”

“Come on, let’s debate this today!”

“Bring out the facts and truths to prove how you dare call the divine fate bearer a thief!”

“See that teleportation formation behind me?”

“If you can out-debate me and convince me, I’ll let you go!”

“I won’t stop you!”

After saying this, Su Wen paused, then declared solemnly, “I swear by the name of the God of Martial Arts and my divine position—if I break this oath, may my divine status be stripped, and may heaven and earth punish me!”

That last vow was to test whether the Holy Spirit clan prodigies knew his identity as the Great God of Wealth.

Treasure Vault No. 128 has been opened; the earlier ones are probably open too.

But it doesn’t matter. After looting the 127 vaults, the Star God set up some traps in key spots before leaving.

Anyone who steps in again will trigger an instant explosion.

The blast from the little worlds, combined with the Star God’s contingencies, will leave even Emperor Level powerful beings with nothing to gain.

Everything is fully prepared.

The Star God’s efficiency and foresight never cease to amaze him.

Truly, the Star God lives up to the name!
