Chapter 601

In the sub-timelines, inside the God of Martial Arts’ office.

Su Wen, lying on the golden soft bed, suddenly opened his eyes and slowly looked up at the sky.

There, an embodiment of his own consciousness appeared.

Previously, some of its actions made him think it lacked intelligence, merely a consciousness left behind in advance.

“You have intelligence, right?”

Su Wen looked up at the heavens and said with a smile.

“Didn’t you accept the memory experience and then come back?”

The phantom of the God of Wealth stepped forward, landing before Su Wen, as if it understood his doubts, and spoke directly, “Besides, if I had shown you all this from the start, what would be the point?”

“Do I not know myself? Adding a bit of mystery makes me take this matter more seriously.”

Su Wen’s eyes flickered as he asked, “So you also experienced the sub-timelines under the influence of the river of time? What exactly is going on? Is it a time loop?”

“You can understand it that way.”

“Then when I encountered Wealth Shadow, were the things he said about the years of the Fighting God’s fall and the God of Wealth meeting the Star God being ambushed also false?”

“Yes, I am you, so I completely understand every move you made when you first arrived in the sub-timelines. That’s why I told Wealth Shadow those things in advance.”

“……”

“Yes, you’re not mistaken. The matters concerning Huang Dongfeng were also arranged by me in advance to let you experience the profound changes over the next five hundred years, making you involuntarily tense and contemplative.”

“……”

“Think about it. You still had several decades before you left; arranging such a matter then isn’t very strange, is it?”

“……”

“And if you hadn’t engaged in such early thinking, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by so many events, how would you have immediately come to the God of Martial Arts’ office to seek answers?”

“……”

After a moment of silence, Su Wen spoke, “Alright! Zhao Tianhan actually dared to help you deceive me? It seems this guy is itching for trouble!”

The phantom of the God of Wealth: “……”

The next moment, the God of Wealth’s phantom said speechlessly, “Aren’t I you? Plus, this matter was something you did, alright?”

“Considering the time, you’re over four hundred years old. Can you be a bit more mature?”

Su Wen snorted softly and then said, “What’s it to you?”

The God of Wealth’s phantom: “……”

After a moment of silence, the God of Wealth’s phantom suddenly asked, “Are you still doubting me?”

Su Wen looked deeply at the phantom and said seriously, “First, you can appear here in the God of Martial Arts’ office, so I certainly will not associate you with the legacy family.”

“As for the other matters… let’s be clear. If you promised the river of time some resources from the main Time and Space without my knowledge, then I won’t allow it!”

Hearing this, the God of Wealth’s phantom fell silent for a moment. After a while, it suddenly said, “I think we shouldn’t be dishonest. Since we promised the river of time, we still need to provide what’s due.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wen fixed his gaze intently on the God of Wealth’s phantom.

Is this really me?

It can’t be, right?

After all, if it were truly me, why would I be talking to the river of time and then slyly asking myself for resources?

"Ink River, it’s you, isn’t it?"

After a moment of silence, Su Wen suddenly said, "You’re pulling this stunt just to squeeze more resources out of me, aren’t you?"

During his time in the sub-timelines, he was well aware of the resources he owed to the river of time.

But after completing the Memory Legacy, he had effectively lost touch with the version of himself before his true demise.

During this period of disconnection, couldn’t the river of time just say whatever it wanted?

"Dishonesty is the root of all principles!"

The phantom of the God of Wealth’s voice shifted, and its entire body stiffened.

A moment later, after repeating the phrase about dishonesty a few times, it abruptly dissipated into nothingness.

Su Wen: "……"

Just as I thought!

He was right!

This sneaky river was trying to trick him like this!

Did it really think he didn’t know himself?

Even if he felt guilty toward the river of time, he would have made sure to explain the whole situation and the benefits he’d gain from providing those resources.

He would never just hand over resources without a proper explanation.

"That Dark River didn’t even bother to explain the source of this Time and Space change before leaving."

Su Wen couldn’t help but grumble, "That dark river must’ve been planning to use this to swindle me again."

"I was willing to figure this out, even if it meant giving up some main Time and Space resources."

"But now… whatever, it seems like this situation actually works in my favor."

"The river of time in the main Time and Space seems different from the one in the sub-timelines…"

"Once I get back, I’ll ask the river of time in the main Time and Space about it!"

With that, Su Wen took a step and vanished instantly.

A moment later, he appeared outside the God of Martial Arts’ office.

“Greetings, Teacher.”

Seeing Su Wen appear, Zhao Tianhan quickly spoke up.

“If you still acknowledge me as your teacher, then what’s this about you deceiving me?”

Su Wen looked straight ahead and spoke lightly.

As soon as he said this, Zhao Tianhan’s expression froze.

“Teacher, you…”

"I know the whole story, but I still want to ask you."

"……"

Zhao Tianhan took a deep breath, then clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Teacher, it’s my fault. Everything is my fault."

"It’s because I didn’t understand your words right away that such a serious thing happened."

"All the mistakes are mine alone!"

"……"

Zhao Tianhan spoke with great respect, his face full of fear and anxiety, clearly showing he knew he was wrong and was ready to do anything to fix it.

Su Wen raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, saying, "Enough, stop pretending!"

"Now, let’s seriously discuss the border battlefield…"

Just then, Su Wen suddenly stopped talking.

"Teacher, do you have any more instructions?"

Zhao Tianhan, seeing Su Wen hadn’t finished, asked carefully.

He really didn’t understand his teacher’s situation.

So, it was best to take on the teacher’s task first and then get out of his sight as soon as possible.

"Nothing, you can go."

Su Wen looked in another direction with a strange look, then turned and said.

Zhao Tianhan: "！！！"

Could it be that the teacher saw through him?

And now didn’t want to deal with him, just telling him to leave?

"Still not leaving?"

Su Wen frowned slightly and asked, puzzled, "If you’re not going, are you waiting for me to invite you to dinner?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tianhan didn’t dare to delay, bowed respectfully again, and turned to leave.

"Fighting God, how have you been lately?"

Su Wen turned his gaze to a spot diagonally to his left and said with a smile.

There stood the Fighting God, enveloped in the power of time and space, looking distant and a bit sad.
