Crossing the Timeline: Is It Reasonable for Me, the God of Wealth, To Be Short on Money? Chapter 358
"Battle Master, are you saying that once the Fighting God of this era dies, the corpse of the Fighting God of the First Age will Return?"
Su Wen said excitedly, "And then, both our universe and the Remnant Universe will be destroyed!"
"Is that what you an?"
Although the Battle Master’s aning was clear, Su Wen still felt uncertain and needed to confirm.
"You can’t be so absolute, because I can’t be sure whether the exiled true self is dead or alive."
The Battle Master looked at Su Wen and spoke softly.
"So, the worst-case scenario is that after the Fighting God dies, the corpse of the Fighting God of the First Age Returns to bring about the end of the world?"
"That’s one way to put it."
"Great!"
Su Wen’s eyes sparkled with excitent, unable to contain his enthusiasm.
Finally!
He had soone to rely on!
Even if this ally’s arrival ant Mutual Destruction, it was still sothing worth celebrating—a monuntal event that deserved to be recorded in history.
Having a card for Mutual Destruction is entirely different from having no cards at all!
The forr allows for mutual deterrence!
At worst, it’s Mutual Destruction!
The latter, however, leaves you defenseless, constantly under attack and at the rcy of enemies’ sches from all sides.
Honestly, he hated having to constantly strategize and speculate, always trying to decipher the enemy’s plans and tactics.
It was exhausting!
He was only in his early twenties.
At this vibrant age, he should be living freely, enjoying the energy and freedom of youth, not endlessly worrying about the future.
But ever since he beca the God of Wealth, the initial thrill of being able to cross ti and space quickly turned into overwhelming anxiety and pressure.
Especially when he thought about the various Ways of Dying he might face in the future and saw no hope for humanity, he often felt a heavy weight in his heart during quiet monts.
Of course, he was good at comforting himself.
Sotis he would remind himself that he was the God of Wealth, the true god of the Ninth Age!
He could traverse ti and space endlessly!
With the forces of Ti and Space from various sub-tilines, the main Ti and Space would surely be bright!
Everyone would be happy!
Everyone would have a bright future!
Moreover, he can harness the power of the river of ti as well as the River of Fate.
This ans he can engage in trade and communication with beings from the first eight ages through his trading powers.
Perhaps this trading power might allow him to leave contingencies in the first eight ages.
For example, after Mo Ziling receives his destined profession, as long as he stays alive, his strength will likely beco formidable, right?
If he is still here now, when they et in the future, he will beco a valuable subordinate!
But these thoughts can deceive others, yet they cannot deceive him.
Previously, he rely watched the subtitles written in narration; although the words were impactful, they were not heavy enough to weigh on his heart.
Sotis, he could imagine the dire futures and dark paths within various sub-tilines.
However, experiencing the future tiline firsthand, touching everything happening in the future sub-tilines through his senses, is an entirely different experience!
The direct impact and audiovisual shock from the latter far surpass the forr by hundreds or thousands of tis!
It is only after this firsthand experience that he gains new insights and understanding about the tragedies of the previous sub-tilines.
Perhaps there is no hope in the Ninth Age!
At least, he has yet to see any glimpse of a bright future!
In the actions of the future, all he sees are the heavy sches swirling above the head of human civilization.
The Remnant Universe!
An ancient realm on the brink of extinction, desperate to consu This Universe, demands a 100% success rate in the critical mont of death and annihilation!
Even a one-in-a-billion chance is likely too risky for the Remnant Universe to take!
The policy guidance of a mundane nation requires a think tank for analysis and calculation, for planning and coordination.
Thus, they can calculate the outcos and conduct a comprehensive benefits analysis.
What about a civilization, a universe?
To ensure the possibilities of success, have they been paving the way for the final battle of the Ninth Age since the First Age?
He even wonders if the awakened powers of fate bearers have been locked down, the Arrow Realm has been corrupted, and the Demigod clan has been influenced…
Have these dark pieces been arranged since the previous few eras?
When the Remnants take a certain action, do they have thousands of asures in place to ensure victory?
And within the implentation of these asures, are there tens of thousands of ways to guarantee their success?
Everything is for the triumph of the final battle!
Otherwise, if the Ninth Age loses, what aning does the victory of the first eight ages hold?
Even if the Remnant Universe holds an absolute crushing posture, it must still perform in the first eight ages and avoid revealing too much.
Although human civilization’s fla continues to forge ahead through repeated crossings of Ti and Space,
he knows all too well that every step taken in this future carries the blood and tears of everyone from the previous sub-tilines.
It is no exaggeration to say that this all cos at the cost of death!
At the price of death!
Rely on life!
Charge forward with your soul!
The heavy pressure weighed heavily on his heart, making him feel suffocated!
Even though the Star God always cared for him, helping to ease his worries and constantly reminding him of the bright future ahead,
he had traveled through ti so many tis only to see death and despair in the future.
But now, things were different!
He finally had a few trump cards up his sleeve!
If it ca to it, they would all die together!
When he had the power to flip the chessboard, was there any point in continuing this broken, difficult ga?
Barefoot, he had nothing to fear from those wearing shoes!
The Remnant Universe had been preparing for Eight Ages, maybe even more.
Their sunk costs were higher, and when faced with his determination for Mutual Destruction, would they still dare to threaten and sche?
That’s why he felt so excited!
“Child, you…”
The Battle Master seed to sense Su Wen’s thoughts, noticing the shift in his emotions, and opened his mouth to speak.
But when the words ca to him, he wasn’t sure how to begin.
After a mont of silence, the Battle Master finally said, “My true self thought to leave a trace of power as a precaution, and perhaps the other active true gods had the sa idea.”
“If you ever et the Star God in office from the Second Age in the future, could you ask them about their plans and thoughts?”
“Bringing in Remnant beings, assimilating and taming them… these actions always made feel like the Star God had deeper sches in mind.”
“Perhaps… the Star God wants to counter-consu the Remnant Universe. I had that thought once, too.”
“When they co knocking at our door, how can we not strike back?”
“If I hadn’t been exiled, I might have already acted on that idea.”
“And the inevitable aging of the universe is indeed a problem.”
“What they face now, we’ll have to face in the distant future as well.”
“So, child, the situation might not be as bad as you think.”
“The sub-tilines are born from the main Ti and Space, created by the power of the Little River.”
“To avoid the Remnants’ spying, the contingency plans and foundations left by the active true gods might not appear in the sub-tilines.”
“Or rather, the foundations they left behind… aren’t in the past, nor in the future, but only exist in the main Ti and Space where you are!”
