Chapter 378: Fully Open

Soon, Su Wen shared the details about the second prince of the Zichen clan with Star God.

Fighting God and Wind God listened, their expressions shifting from initial indifference to eager anticipation as they turned to Su Wen.

They too were keen on finding their successors to guide and nurture them.

As elders, isn’t it only natural to help their successors grow?

"Xiao Feng, you’ll need to be patient a bit longer," Su Wen said with a smile, noticing Wind God’s eager expression. "As for Fighting God… don’t get your hopes up just yet; I haven’t located your successor."

"Or perhaps, you might not have a successor at all."

Fighting God looked puzzled. Why?

Xiao Feng has a successor, so why doesn’t he?

Is he not respected enough?

"Why are you making that silly face?" God of Theater chuckled, adding, "Not having a successor means your position is intact, doesn’t it?"

"Shouldn’t that make you happier?"

Su Wen chimed in, "I can’t say for sure if it’s intact, but it’s likely so. After all, Fighting God is our ultimate weapon. If he were to fall, our universe could be doomed."

God of Theater’s eyes lit up, "Go on, tell us more."

Su Wen gave a slight smile to Fighting God and then began to explain what he knew to Star God and God of Theater.

Considering Wind God’s youth, God of Theater thought it best he didn’t hear such grave news.

Using the art of theater, Wind God was quickly isolated.

He loves playing games, right?

Now’s the perfect time for him to indulge in that!

As for Fighting God?

Though he’s a bit impulsive, this matter directly concerns him, so it’s only fair he’s informed.

If Fighting God later wishes to forget this, they could assist him with that.

After discussing Fighting God’s situation, both Star God and God of Theater fell into a deep, reflective silence.

This revelation was somewhat unexpected.

Star God, in particular, began to ponder deeply.

If Fighting God dies, will the Fighting God of the First Age return?

If he dies, will the Star God of the Second Age also return?

Could the defeats in the previous Eight Ages have been preparations for the final Age?

Are they… all sacrifices?

Or perhaps, are all beings in the Ninth Age destined to be sacrifices?

If that’s the case, does it really matter whether This Universe wins or loses against the Remnant Universe?

They’re all dead; even if we win in the end, what does it have to do with them?

Thinking of this, Star God felt a heavy weight in his heart.

To take a step back, if his reasoning is correct, then what they’re facing isn’t just the Remnant Universe!

The people left behind from the previous Ages of This Universe also fall within their scope of control.

"Now that we’ve talked about Battle Master, we should discuss martial arts," Su Wen said, looking around. "It’s been about two or three years now."

"I think it’s time to fully open things up!"

"Information about martial arts, fate bearers, and the Arrow Realm should be fully released!"

"After more than half a year of preparation, it’s time to lift the restrictions, don’t you think?"

He paused for a moment, then added, "Especially since the upper limit of martial arts has been raised to Emperor Level mid-stage."

"Hmm… but since we’re just starting to open up, let’s hold off on spreading the more advanced martial arts cultivation methods for now."

The path of martial arts expanded by Battle Masters isn’t suited to shine in the main Time and Space.

He clarified these points to ensure a smoother path in the next sub-timelines.

After all, with billions of people worldwide, even if just one-thousandth of the warriors reach Emperor Level, that would be an incredible support.

"Alright, you’ll share the plan for fully releasing martial arts soon," Star God said, looking up. "After that, I’ll have someone organize and refine it. It should be almost ready."

"If martial arts has already developed to Emperor Level, then yes… it’s time to fully open it up."

Suddenly, God of Theater chimed in, "Star God, why don’t we also practice martial arts together?"

At first, they valued martial arts because it could bring them a lot of insights.

But later, since the God of Wealth could provide spheres of insights, the importance of martial arts in his mind had diminished.

However, if the Martial Arts System could reach Emperor Level mid-stage, it might be worth trying.

After all, every increase in Level represents a transformation for both body and soul.

Initially, martial arts might not have been worth their time.

But with its upper limit raised to Emperor Level, the enhancements it brings are now something he takes seriously.

Especially after becoming an immortal half-god, the Martial Arts Supernatural Power and laws of martial arts born from soul strength would surely bring him a tremendous surprise.

"I was thinking the same thing," Star God said with a smile. "From the current perspective, martial arts is indeed a great support."

He paused, then asked, "But God of Martial Arts, setting aside the Arrow Realm and fate bearers for a moment, just focusing on martial arts…"

"If martial arts is fully opened without control, it could cause societal upheaval."

"Do you have any measures in place to prevent that?"

Su Wen nodded. "Yes, and there are also hundreds of interconnected policies in place for regulatory protection."

In the future sub-timelines, three months before the Arrow Realm portals manifested, information about martial arts and the Arrow Realm was made public.

A month before the portals appeared, they even launched an early external war.

So, he also brought along policies related to social control.

These strategies had been tested in reality, and any loopholes or overlooked issues had already been addressed by the Star God from previous sub-timelines.

Most importantly, this opening was inevitable.

If that was the case, it was better to do it sooner rather than later.

After experiencing over a dozen strange phenomena, the public no longer trusted the words of the meteorological bureau staff or the experts.

So, just open up!

There might be some chaos, but there’s still time before a full-blown war breaks out.

During that time, they would work together to handle the chaos.

"By the way, I’ve got something fun to show you."

Suddenly, Su Wen grinned, a playful glint in his eyes.

The Star God and the God of Theater exchanged surprised glances, then chuckled and motioned for Su Wen to go ahead.

"Buzz!"

A ripple in space appeared, and the battered Zi Wu materialized in front of everyone.

"God of Martial Arts!"

"You lied to me!"

As soon as Zi Wu appeared, he started accusing the God of Martial Arts.

They had agreed that if he revealed the truth about the Fighting God’s immortality, the Ferocious Dragon wouldn’t torment him.

But instead, he got beaten even worse after returning.

They’d resort to violence over the smallest disagreement!

Sometimes, he didn’t even know why they were hitting him.

This was pure bullying!

"I lied?"

Su Wen smirked, "Was what you told me even true?"

Without waiting for Zi Wu to respond, the aura of the God of Wealth’s Mark began to spread.

In the next moment, Su Wen’s sharp eyes locked onto Zi Wu, glowing with the unique light of the God of Wealth’s Mark.

"Now!"

"Kneel!"
