"It’s just that this guy is too arrogant, dismissing everything on land and water in one go.""
"The riddle is on the surface, easy to see at a glance, but the mindset and behavior of different races, their core goals, are usually not so simple and straightforward."
"Concealing one’s profession, ability, and core pursuits is instinctive."
"It’s like how most people save money; very few are extre misers saving purely for money itself. There’s always another purpose, whether it’s to buy a computer, a house, or a car—it’s ultimately about improving their life. What exactly they’re after varies from person to person."
"Similarly, when a non-human kills, apart from a rare few madn, the rest might do it for revenge, materials for human-like creations, or even to harness the intense fear before dying as power. There are countless possibilities."
"But controlling soone’s consciousness with illusions to make them jump into a river for soul harvesting—such a crude and brutal thod is very rare, akin to those rare madn."
The General Director ca out of the lounge and returned to his desk, where the secretary had already turned on the computer.
The General Director accessed his permissions and retrieved a docunt from the Scorching Sun Departnt’s database.
"This person you ntioned went to Nanyang years ago and hasn’t returned for decades."
"In recent months, the situation in Nanyang is nearly uncontrollable."
"The sea transport there is down by thirty percent. This year’s shipwrecks outnumber the past seven years combined."
"There’s news from Nanyang of sothing similar to the Ghost Wealth God you ntioned."
"But they don’t call it Ghost Wealth God there; it resembles the peculiar creatures they habitually keep."
"Over there, it’s nothing unusual, not eye-catching at all. In terms of peculiarity, that sort of thing doesn’t even rank."
"Who would’ve thought such odd thods have already reached Divine Land under the guise of a God of Wealth."
"This isn’t a simple transmission; it’s an organized, preditated sche of usurpation and replacent.""
"Huh, has this happened before?" Wen Yan was sowhat surprised that the Ghost Wealth God didn’t originate in Divine Land and by the General Director’s words.
It seems they are genuinely stealing the title of God of Wealth."
"There have been similar things long ago."
"Like the Supre Heavenly Jade Emperor, with several titles, yet in the end, the emperor title is also a god."
"But now, most people, if you say only the last two characters, what do they first think of? Many don’t even know the na of the Jade Emperor."
"For example, tell the Water Monarch that Wukong is originally him, suppressed for five hundred years, and then beca the Victorious Fighting Buddha—see how he reacts."
"Oh, rember, don’t tell the Water Monarch about this."
"These sorts of borrowed titles—though just nas at first—the nature changes over ti."
"Divine Land has more than a few Gods of Wealth."
"All these have slowly accumulated over a long ti."
"If many nas are borrowed, adding a Ghost Wealth God in the future isn’t impossible."
"Especially with the current stage of Spiritual Qi Resurgence, benefiting the Ghosts, sothing borrowing from Ghosts to circumvent living people for Divine Enthronent isn’t impossible."
"Moreover, using Soul Bodies as currency, even backlash can be mitigated with money—distinctly an external style."
"You could consult Gauss."
"Gauss, this devil, including his zealous followers, don’t sh with other devils in the least."
"We’ll pursue the rest; today, you just happened to pass by and casually dealt with a non-human."
"Just take that Ghost Wealth God away; if convenient, destroy that small temple, and decide about the statue accordingly."
"After sunrise, soone will rebuild a small temple."
"If the Ghost Wealth God knows its place, leave it as a breakthrough point.""
"Isn’t this making too big a fuss?"
"If unnoticed, it alarms the serpent, but making a fuss and proactively alarming it is different.""
"I understand." Wen Yan responded.
Gauss is a strange devil because he doesn’t care for souls nor seek them.
He always felt his pursuits were several levels above those common devils."
"A bunch of mindless ones, still scheming for souls in this age—too low-grade."
"With this mindset, it’s a wonder Gauss gets along with other devils."
"Similarly, only those whose mindset differs completely from normal folks beco Gauss’s followers."
"Since the rules might relate to the outside, consulting Gauss could indeed be more professional."
"What the General Director said made Wen Yan feel there might indeed be a demonic connection."
"The idea now is to investigate thoroughly, then strike with a heavy blow all at once."
"Don’t make minor sacrifices for major gains; one person demolishing a temple and the Scorching Sun Departnt eradicating one differ greatly."
Wen Yan hung up the phone, releasing n Xinsheng.
"Now, here’s a chance for you to earn rit; do you want it?"
"Yes." n Xinsheng admitted quickly, not arguing anymore.
He was well aware that what he did, if lawbreaking, there seed no specific regulations within the Scorching Sun Departnt regarding internal Ghost matters. Ghosts have their survival rules.
But if they wanted a charge, one could be found.
"At worst, accused of stealing the God of Wealth’s incense—a charge every righteous person across the Three Mountains and Five Ridges can justify extinguishing evil and upholding the Way."
