Chapter 584

At this moment, Su Wen had an epiphany!

Reflecting on the recent twists and turns and the myriad events he had experienced over the years, everything began to connect in his mind.

The main Time and Space is the root!

Now, he had a fresh understanding of the Star God’s earlier statement.

The root can change freely according to its own thoughts and the external circumstances it encounters.

However, the sub-timelines are established extensions.

Without the intervention and involvement of the main Time and Space, sub-timelines would inevitably move towards a predetermined final outcome.

Even if a character from a sub-timeline learned some future information, or simply returned from the future reborn, it would not have a significant impact on the overall outcome of the future.

Especially when the timeline stretches over hundreds or even thousands of years; aside from causing some initial effects that might accelerate the shaping of certain events, it would have no further impact.

Even the imagined domino effect would not occur. The future situation would only move steadily towards that established future, continuously progressing under the sedimentation of time.

Until finally, in the distant future, all past influences would be erased or covered.

For this reason, he saw that the future main Time and Space’s God of Wealth, upon coming to a sub-timeline and becoming the sub-timeline’s God of Wealth, had a very limited impact on this world.

It was like a person trapped in a quagmire, where all powers are restricted.

Everything could only proceed step by step.

Even having witnessed the future, what could one person’s power truly accomplish?

“What exactly is wealth…?”

“Especially, what does the wealth of the main Time and Space truly represent?”

For the first time, Su Wen began to seriously ponder this question.

He had previously thought of the reasons why the river of time and the River of Fate craved wealth, but at that time, his power was too weak, and he faced too many issues, so he could only hastily propose a few guesses in his mind.

Afterward, he left it unresolved.

But now, he genuinely wanted to know why these two rivers, capable of overwhelming the entire universe, had such a strong desire for wealth.

If they desire it, it must be important.

Moreover, the way Luobao treats the river of time and the occasional humble manner in which the river of time hosts guests also made him think deeply.

Luobao is a Divine Artifact of the God of Wealth!

Yet during the first eight ages, it seemed that the God of Wealth could not communicate with the river of time at all?

Then why did Luobao, right after accepting the baptism of his wealth and just after gaining intelligence from ignorance, seem to know so much about the river of time in the mysterious realm?

And what about Luobao? How did she end up on the side of the River of Fate for training after the fall of the Great God of Wealth of the Eighth Era?

Are Luobao and the river of time in a competitive relationship or a cooperative one?

Or perhaps it is a kind of relationship he does not know about?

There are many mysteries, and the answers are clearly within reach, yet he cannot afford the price that the dark river desires.

He could only say that he felt as if there was an invisible hand pushing him from behind, constantly urging him to move forward, compelling him to take steps ahead.

If he didn’t move forward, he would be forced to do so.

Hmm… this feeling was strange, but with his level of Cultivation reaching this point, he wouldn’t act on a sudden urge without reason.

“God of Wealth, what’s on your mind?”

Fighting God looked at Su Wen, who was lost in thought, and couldn’t help but wave his hand in front of him.

“Nothing, just a few things that left me puzzled,” Su Wen replied, not wanting to discuss this matter with Fighting God, especially when he was out of combat.

For Fighting God, this topic was still too complex.

So he planned to go back and explore the matter through some methods while sparring with Fighting God.

During their sparring, he would share some of his thoughts with him, and perhaps gain further insights.

“Greetings, Great God!”

At that moment, the veterans from the First Age, who had been following Gu, suddenly appeared before Su Wen.

Seeing these familiar faces, he understood their purpose for coming.

On one hand, they were there to seek answers.

On the other hand, they came looking for hope.

“Please, this way,” Su Wen said with a smile. “I will answer your questions.”

Before coming here, he had no intention of hiding anything from these veterans of the First Age.

After all, he was about to use these foundational resources in his “struggle” with the Star God and strive to accidentally injure a few true kings of the Remnant Universe.

Since he had already used their resources, they would surely notice.

Continuing to keep it secret would no longer be appropriate.

Moreover, his experiences in the previous sub-timeline told him that there was no reason to hide his identity as a disciple of the Battle Master.

Sharing it would benefit everyone.

As for whether the Remnant Universe would find out?

It was likely that they wouldn’t be able to keep it a secret.

After all, in five hundred years, even Wealth Shadow had learned about his crossing of time and space; how could the Remnant Universe remain unaware?

If the Remnant Universe did not take precautions, they would be underestimating him.

So sometimes he wondered if the Star God, lurking in the Remnant Universe, wanted to shine using his strength and then give back to the main Time and Space.

Looking back now, there might be some truth to that.

Then, Su Wen led everyone to descend into the main realm, arriving at the God of Wealth’s office.

“Here…”

The moment Gu stepped inside, his expression changed dramatically.

Having seen much of the world, he understood better what this place represented.

“Everyone, this is our greatest secret of the Ninth Age, and I will reveal it here,” Su Wen said with a smile. “If anyone accidentally reveals it to the Remnant Universe, we’ll be in big trouble.”

Beside him, Zhan’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he said, “If anyone dares to betray us here, I will risk my life to deal with them.”

Rui smiled slightly and spoke, “God of Wealth, you can rest assured; after all, time has already tested this.”

They came from the First Age; if they were going to betray him, they would have already submitted to the Remnant Universe’s sweet traps during these years after the fall of the current Fighting God.

Perhaps from the perspective of the universal situation, they did not follow the orders of the current true gods very closely.

But from another angle, it was precisely because they were loyal to the current Fighting God that they only followed the instructions left by him.

Thus, they were able to ignore all the subtle hints and various temptations from the Remnant Universe.

As the subordinates of the current Fighting God, how could they indulge in the gentle offerings crafted by the Remnant Universe?

Isn’t that shameful?

The Great God went missing because of the Remnant Universe, yet they would turn to the Remnant Universe?

If others had no shame, would they not have any as well?

“Everyone is eager to see me; in truth, you’ve already had your guesses, right?”

Su Wen glanced around slowly and said, “To this, I only want to say this.”

“You all guessed correctly; I indeed have the ability to cross time and space, just like the Battle Master.”

“The divine weapons and formations I used on the battlefield came from another timeline created by you all.”

As he spoke, Su Wen paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, “Allow me to introduce myself. I come from the past main Time and Space.”

“I am the God of Wealth of the main Time and Space!”
