Chapter 331
"God of Theater, keep an eye on Xiao Ying. We’re heading back now," the Star God said, glancing at the God of Theater.
With that, he grabbed Su Wen, snatched the floating decree of the God of Wealth, and vanished in an instant.
Nearby, the God of Theater’s eyes flickered with a faint light. He understood the Star God’s urgency. The celestial officers’ earlier actions had caught him off guard, and the so-called Spirit of Order wasn’t quite what he’d expected either.
"God of Martial Arts, are you happy with how the celestial officers acted back there?" the Star God asked abruptly, after pouring Su Wen a cup of hot water in the office area.
"Not really," Su Wen admitted, taking a sip. "But I get it. I’m not the old God of Wealth from the last era—I’m just the new guy, barely a few months into the job. And honestly, their respect for Xiao Ying… it’s not wrong."
"I can see where you’re coming from," Su Wen continued, "but it’s not exactly what I had in mind."
The Star God waved his hand dismissively. "I’m not talking about them being nice to Xiao Ying or getting angry on her behalf. That stuff doesn’t matter—we’re all part of the same group. Who likes who more, who listens to who—I don’t care about that."
"The real issue," the Star God pressed, "is that you’re their direct superior, the true god of this era! When the God of Theater brought Xiao Ying out, they started bowing and worshipping without even waiting for your permission. And the celestial officers from the Arrow Realm? They joined in too. Then, without your say-so, they went off to investigate, leaving you—their highest-ranking officer—standing there like a spare part. Does that seem right to you?"
"This is about your authority," the Star God emphasized. "The celestial officers left behind from the Eighth Era have overstepped. The so-called foundation, power, and backup plans from the last era—do they really follow your commands without question? If someone from the previous era showed up at a crucial moment and gave an order that contradicted yours, who do you think they’d listen to?"
