Chapter 595

“You’re right.”

The high priest smiled, showing no emotional fluctuations from the Star God’s words.

Because the Star God was correct; he really was nearing his end in this world.

“Although I am on the brink of death, I can still contribute to my clan before I go.”

“For example, I could take you with me.”

“What do you think?”

The Star God chuckled softly in response and said, “Of course, after all, you are the high priest of the Immortal Clan. Taking me before you leave is certainly a possibility.”

“However, are you sure you want to gamble your life with me?”

The high priest leaned on his staff and replied, “Then it depends on whether you can convince me.”

As he spoke, the high priest glanced at the Curved Dagger.

In the next moment, an invisible wave spread out, causing the Curved Dagger to vanish from the spot.

“Alright, the onlookers have retreated.”

“You can say what you need to say now.”

“Of course, if you are going to talk about how the will of the cosmos is problematic, then don’t even start.”

The Star God’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, “So you know that the will of the cosmos in the Divine Fate Universe has issues, and you even cooperated with it, right?”

The high priest did not answer the Star God, simply gazing at him.

At the same time, the dead air swirled violently within his murky eyes, reaching a certain peak.

“My choice to betray has something to do with the will of the cosmos.”

After a moment, the Star God smiled and said, “But the main reason is not this.”

The high priest calmly asked, “Then what is it?”

“It’s because of the Wealth God.”

“?”

The high priest narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched in a way that no one could see.

Even though he no longer asked about worldly matters, he had gathered some information about the Star God before coming.

The relationship between the Star God and the Wealth God was quite good, wasn’t it?

“In this era, the Wealth God is on duty.”

The Star God’s mind stirred, and the Astral Throne directly appeared behind him.

“Sorry, I’m getting older, and my physical functions are starting to decline; I won’t stand while I speak.”

After saying this, the Star God sat down.

The high priest smiled weakly with his old voice, “Indeed, we are both getting old!”

In the next moment, a throne filled with a sacred aura suddenly appeared as the high priest sat down.

This sacred throne stood in stark contrast to the Star God’s Astral Throne.

“And the Wealth God, empowered by the will of the cosmos, can communicate with the Time and Space maintainers!”

The Star God’s first words from the throne sent a shock through the high priest.

As one of the first beings born after the formation of the Immortal Clan Universe, he knew the world was far more complex than it seemed.

Especially the unfathomable chaos—he had been fortunate enough to glimpse it.

This experience made him acutely aware of how terrifying the Time and Space maintainers truly were!

The river of time!

A force that spans past, present, and future. Typically, those who can interact with the river of time lack independent consciousness and act only on instinct.

Even if they possess awareness, they are bound by the order of time and space and cannot act freely.

As for the tales of the Time and Space maintainers causing cataclysmic events, collapsing order, or the fall of light and darkness—those are just stories concocted by low-level cultivators based on rumors.

They can’t be taken seriously!

But now… it seemed things were different.

“So, is Li Yan’s suppression by time and space the work of the Wealth God?”

After a moment of silence, the high priest asked.

Li Yan!

The true name of the Leader of the Immortal Clan!

“Yes,” the Star God nodded slightly.

“If the Wealth God can communicate with the river of time and even summon its power, then… in the coming war, we are destined to lose.”

“Then why betray?”

The high priest sat up straight, his tone grave as he looked at the Star God.

The Star God shook his head.

“The Time and Space maintainers wouldn’t help the Wealth God without reason.

Their assistance must fall within the rules—they only act when the conditions are met.

So… the Wealth God isn’t invincible. If he doesn’t have what the river of time demands, it won’t help him.”

The Star God then began to explain what he knew to the high priest.

Starting with the sub-timelines, he detailed the intricate connections between each sub-timeline and the main Time and Space.

Out of respect for the high priest’s vast experience, he spoke mostly the truth, though he adjusted the order of some events.

For example, five hundred years from the gap between the main Time and Space and the sub-timelines—just over a century from now—the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space will descend!

And this Wealth God will be the first to manifest his true self after the river of time opened countless sub-timelines!

Only in this current Time and Space can they capture the Wealth God, slay him, plunder him, and exploit him… to truly seize his essence and destroy him at the root!

This!

This was his only chance!

So, he betrayed the Divine Fate Universe!

After all, compared to the level of the Time and Space maintainers, the competition and merging of the two universes are just too trivial.

Boring!

Especially boring!

With the Time and Space maintainers stepping in and the God of Wealth having the ability to try things without limit, how could the descendants possibly win?

Therefore, if one could see through the surface and eliminate the God of Wealth, handling this matter would be much easier.

“I see, you want to transcend, right?”

After a while, the high priest spoke softly.

“Yes.”

The Star God nodded slightly and smiled as he asked, “Don’t you want that?”

“Once we transcend and reach a higher realm!”

“What does the universe matter then?”

“The so-called battle and fusion between the Divine Fate Universe and the Immortal Clan Universe, in the eyes of those powerful beings, is no different from a joke.”

“If we reach that realm, we can easily grab a newly formed universe from the chaos and cultivate the universe scenes from our memories.”

“We could even connect with the river of time, holding precious items that the river needs, enabling communication with it to bring past events back to life.”

As he spoke, the Star God paused, and his calm tone carried a subtle hint of persuasion.

“So… would you like to join?”

“Let’s take a gamble!”

“Let’s make a move!”

“Opportunities come but once!”

“If we miss this chance for the true self of the God of Wealth to descend in the main Time and Space, there might not be a next time!”

“After this, the God of Wealth will surely become vigilant!”

“Even we in the main Time and Space will face a great crisis!”

“I have made my choice and have even started laying plans for the two universes.”

“To be frank, I have people over in the Divine Fate Universe.”

“They even think my betrayal is a fake betrayal, meant to infiltrate your descendants, which is the norm.”

“After all, in a battle that is certain to be won, how could I betray?”

“What do you think, high priest?”
