Chapter 582

Su Wen stared at the other person, still silent.

Until he reached the necessary strength, any conversation between them was pointless!

The other side had the absolute power to rip apart any agreement, while the weaker side could do nothing.

Negotiations with such unequal power, especially in a life-and-death struggle between two universes, were laughable and ironic.

How irrational would he have to be to believe the other’s nonsense?

If the Leader of the Remnant was truly as pure, open-minded, and noble-hearted as he appeared, he wouldn’t have risen to this level.

The Remnant!

A clan full of schemes and conspiracies!

Now he’s supposed to believe their leader is some innocent flower?

Really?

“To be honest, I’m deeply dissatisfied with this life-and-death struggle between us, where only one side can survive,” the Leader of the Immortal Clan said in a calm, gentle tone. “As the ruler of a universe, my belief is that all beings under my rule should live in peace and happiness.”

“Whether it’s a world where cultivators and Ordinary People are separated or one where they coexist, I have a clear vision for both.”

“Of course, that’s not the most pressing issue right now.”

“The world I envision is one of peace, where we don’t have to fight, and every conflict can be resolved through dialogue.”

“Just like the universe beneath our feet, which was formed by the merging of my Immortal Clan Universe and your Divine Fate Universe through a series of coincidences and under various influences.”

“Because of this, I believe both my Immortal Path and your Divine Fate Path have the right to exist on this land.”

“Violence should be restrained.”

“War only brings destruction.”

“Everything should be resolved within the bounds of reason and ideology.”

“So, why don’t we work together to create a world free of conflict, one where fighting isn’t necessary?”

Su Wen: “???”

Is the Leader of the Immortal Clan serious?

While his words might sound reasonable, the core of his argument is flimsy and easily dismantled!

Sure, violence should be restrained, and war might bring destruction.

But in a life-and-death struggle where one universe consumes the other, violence and war are inevitable!

Without violence, is he just going to talk his way to victory?

Without war, is love and justice supposed to reform a group of desperate, doomed individuals?

That’s clearly a paradox!

Let’s not forget, if the Leader of the Remnant didn’t have power surpassing even a god king, who would bother listening to his ramblings?

If he tried pitching this so-called peace and justice theory within the Remnant, he’d probably get slapped to death by a true king of the Remnant Universe!

And fundamentally speaking, is it really ideology that restrains violence and war?

Isn’t it just greater violence that keeps violence in check?

Because I possess the most formidable power in the world, my words are the truth!

Let’s not bring up other examples; just look at the river of time.

In the previous sub-timeline, when I was slapping the other party, why didn’t they try to reason with the “chaotic powerful being”?

When the Backlash of Time and Space wreaked havoc on the entire Remnant clan, why didn’t he try to reason with the river of time?

Would he dare?

He only dares to preach his ideals of peace to those weaker than him, nothing more than a hypocrite.

“I’ve said so much, and you haven’t responded at all?” The Leader of the Immortal Clan said sorrowfully, “If that’s the case, I’m truly heartbroken.”

【Oh, Great God of Wealth, your heart must be in turmoil! Faced with such a hypocrite, you’re powerless due to your own limitations.】

【Doesn’t this fill you with indignation and pain?】

【Don’t worry, the river of time is at your service!】

【If you’re willing to offer ten million riches from the main Time and Space, the river of time will expose this hypocrite’s true nature with a devastating blow.】

【How dare he act like this in front of the river of time?】

【What status does he think he has?】

【Who does he think he is to speak like that?】

【Isn’t this just ridiculous?】

【So… Great God of Wealth, are you willing to spend a little wealth to bring yourself a genuine smile?】

Su Wen: “…”

The river of time really doesn’t miss a chance to make money!

But ten million riches is still a hefty sum for the main Time and Space.

If it’s just to vent some emotions, it’s meaningless and worthless.

After all, having traveled through so many sub-timelines, the Leader of the Remnant’s grandiose theories are nothing compared to the tragedies of the past.

Honestly, they’re less impactful than the nonsense spouted by some human traitors trying to brainwash others!

“If it’s ten million riches, that’s fine.”

Su Wen couldn’t help but think, “But one billion is a bit much.”

【Lucky God of Wealth! The river of time senses the resentment churning in your heart. As your friend, it’s even willing to take a loss to help you!】

【Ten million riches!】

【Just ten million riches from the main Time and Space, and the river of time will step in to clear the blockages in your heart.】

【Great God of Wealth! Don’t just think about it—act on your feelings and make the decision your heart desires!】

Su Wen: “?”

This price drop doesn’t seem like the dark river’s usual style.

Did they sense his thoughts to make a profit, or is the river of time just fed up with this guy’s nonsense?

Is that it?

Otherwise, a quote of one billion would usually drop to five hundred million at most.

Especially with the River of Fate absent, a drastic discount like this is impossible.

Hmm… Most likely, his guess is right.

There’s a small chance the dark river has become obsessed with wealth.

As long as it’s riches, even a single coin, it wants it all!

“Since they’re being so generous, let’s see what happens!”

Su Wen made his decision with a thought.

In the next moment, a terrifying gaze, towering above all beings and both universes, descended upon the low-dimensional battlefield where the two sides clashed.

“Buzz!”

A ripple of Time and Space flickered, and a cold, mechanical white eye appeared in the sky.

The eye was so vast that even the tiniest movement of its lid dwarfed the mixed universe below.

“Disturbing Time and Space!”

“Punish!”

As the cold voice rang out, a silver iron net formed in the heavens.

The iron net stretched across the sky!

It slowly descended from the unreachable heights!
