Chapter 581

The war raged on relentlessly.

With the involvement of true gods, god kings, and various forbidden weapons, the scale of the conflict expanded dramatically.

Finally, after the Fighting God pushed himself to the limit and fully ascended to the God King Realm, the Fighting God spear in his hand evolved into a god king weapon within the mysterious realm.

In an instant, an overwhelming pressure radiated around him.

The sheer destructive power and intimidation of a god king-level God of Fighting were nothing short of staggering.

The moment he broke free, his gaze locked onto the black-robed figure who had initially confronted him.

The opponent’s words had struck a nerve.

Having clashed with the current Fighting God and even slain a few, he knew the opponent was boasting, but those words had to have some basis.

Thus, the duty to avenge his ancestors fell squarely on his shoulders.

"I’ll start by killing you, as an offering to this grand war!"

The Fighting God moved with the grace of a dragon, the immense power of the rules surrounding him instantly forcing all nearby god king-level beings to retreat.

“Ahhhh!!!”

The black-robed figure let out a terrified scream the moment he felt the Fighting God’s gaze upon him.

Without a second thought, he turned and fled.

Facing a true god-level Fighting God, he had dared to charge forward.

With the intent to crush and annihilate his opponent, he had been confident that, no matter how strong the Fighting God was, it would take time for him to defeat a god king.

But a god king-level Fighting God was an entirely different beast!

In a battle of equals, he was doomed to lose!

In fact, it was certain death!

"Fight!"

A divine ring symbolizing battle intent erupted beneath the Fighting God’s feet, his aura surging with renewed intensity.

In the next moment, the surrounding Time and Space seemed to slow to a crawl.

Yet, the Fighting God’s movements remained unaffected.

In that fleeting instant, the Fighting God closed the distance to the black-robed figure.

With a swift motion, he thrust his spear, sweeping through with unstoppable force!

Even though the black-robed figure was the true king of the Remnant Universe, protected by god king-level defenses, it mattered little.

No matter the excuses, the opponent had already been paralyzed by fear at the mere mention of "god king Fighting God," his only thought being to escape, with no intention of fighting back.

In such a scenario, with everything burning, all restraints cast aside, how could the Fighting God possibly let him escape?

“Waaaa…”

Suddenly, a terrifying gray phenomena began to gather in the skies above the Remnant Universe.

The True King has fallen!

The universe wails in sorrow!

At this moment, all the true kings of the Remnant Universe turned their gaze toward the Fighting God, and all their doubts and hidden thoughts vanished.

They knew that the first true king to fall in this war had appeared!

This was the first, but it would certainly not be the last!

“Great God Fighting, you and your ancestors remain as ruthless as ever!”

A soft voice echoed around them, and then a man in white, handsome and noble, stepped onto blooming golden lotuses as he traversed through the distant Time and Space.

Normally, even true kings of the Remnant Universe, influenced by the rules of the universe, should perceive the attacks of beings from the Divine Fate Universe without any color apart from dark gray.

But this man was able to break through this cognitive influence.

As a Remnant being, upon his arrival, he left a vibrant, colorful scene full of special effects in the eyes of beings from the Divine Fate Universe.

From this alone, it was clear that he was no ordinary figure.

“Who are you?”

The Fighting God swung his spear, pointing it directly at the man in white.

“Allow me to introduce myself—I am the current Leader of the Immortal Clan!”

The man in white smiled politely and said, “I believe that Great God Fighting, along with Great God Star and Great God of Wealth, are unaware of my governing philosophy, am I right?”

As he spoke, his gaze swept past the Star God and settled on the God of Wealth.

“First, I warmly welcome the arrival of Great God Star. Whether you’ve abandoned darkness for light or walked into your own doom, now that you’re here in my Immortal Clan, you are one of us.”

“At the same time, I must apologize to you.”

“During your arrival, I was in seclusion.”

“So I couldn’t greet you immediately, for which… I deeply apologize!”

The Star God responded to these unexpected words without hesitation.

After all, he was now a defector; how could he remain frozen in place just because the host had accepted him so sincerely?

“Thank you for your honesty. Since joining your clan, I’ve felt the importance your noble clan places on me.”

“From now on, the matters of your noble clan will also be the matters of the Star God!”

The Leader of the Immortal Clan took a step forward, instantly appearing before the Star God.

“To collaborate with Great God Star is something I’ve yearned for countless times over billions of years. I never expected it to come true today.”

“This is indeed a joyous occasion, a grand event that will excite the entire Immortal Clan!”

“Qian Ling!”

As soon as he spoke, a Curved Dagger appeared before the Leader of the Immortal Clan.

The next moment, a short, oddly shaped humanoid creature appeared in front of everyone.

“You’ve done well in contacting the Star God. You deserve a reward!”

“I grant you a hundred thousand years of cultivation in the Nine Immortal Tower!”

Qian Ling was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, “Thank you for the reward, my lord!”

At this moment, due to the appearance of the Leader of the Immortal Clan, the god kings and true kings from both factions tacitly paused their actions.

Only the monk remained seated cross-legged on the ancient bell, chanting and reciting without any intention of rising.

“In this era, the Great God of Wealth is in office, correct?”

The Leader of the Immortal Clan turned his gaze to Su Wen and smiled gently, saying, “Hello, Great God!”

As he spoke, the Leader of the Immortal Clan had already arrived in front of Su Wen.

But just as he stood opposite Su Wen, the Fighting God, holding his spear, also appeared in front of Su Wen.

“We’re all old friends here. Is it really necessary to be so cautious with me?”

The Leader of the Immortal Clan’s expression remained unchanged, still wearing a gentle smile.

“Never mind. With both sides locked in endless conflict, it’s only natural that you’re wary of me.”

“In fact, I have a philosophy—a philosophy where both sides can coexist peacefully—that hasn’t yet gained recognition in your universe.”

“But I think that now, at this final battle of the Ninth Age, you, the Great God of Wealth, should recognize my philosophy.”

“After all, in a certain sense, we are alike.”

Su Wen’s brow twitched violently, but he didn’t respond.

Others might not know who this man was, but Su Wen certainly did.

In the previous sub-timeline, while experiencing the thrills of the river of time, the one who shot the most time divine arrows and delivered the hardest slaps was none other than the handsome Leader of the Immortal Clan standing before him.

This man’s strength clearly surpassed that of the surrounding true kings of the Remnant Universe.

Moreover, the Leader of the Immortal Clan’s influence within the Remnant Clan was far greater than what he was showing at this moment.

“I’m just speaking. Can I really influence you?”

The Leader of the Immortal Clan looked at Su Wen, who remained silent, and said with a smile, “But it’s fine. If you won’t speak, then I will.”

“We are both staunch advocates of economic peace.”

“That’s agreeable, isn’t it?”
