Crossing the Timeline: Is It Reasonable for Me, the God of Wealth, To Be Short on Money? Chapter 369

"I have seen the Shadow God, senior!"

The Star God clasped his hands and spoke directly.

Beside him, Su Wen and the Fighting God prepared to pay their respects as juniors.

But soon, Su Wen realized he could not pay his respects to the Shadow God.

"You are the true god of the Ninth Age; in terms of status, you are higher than ," the Shadow God said. "So, you do not need to bow to ."

"As for the Star God and Fighting God, since they follow the etiquette, I cannot say anything against it."

After saying this, the Shadow God paused, then looked at Su Wen and asked in a serious tone, "God of Wealth, this place… is not the complete main world, is it?"

"Here, I can only feel a rich Ti and Space power; I sense no aura of fate, causality, or even the vast and varied abilities of chaos."

"Standing here, it feels more like I am in a new world opened up by a Powerful Being."

Su Wen was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked, "This is a sub-tiline; don’t you know?"

"Sub-tiline?"

"The river of ti opened up this place to predict future changes; you actually don’t know?"

"In the Ninth Age, the river of ti also intervened directly?"

"Uh… Did the river of ti not intervene in the Eighth Era?"

"No."

The Shadow God shook her head and said, “Though I know of the existence of the river of ti and the River of Fate, I cannot harness the powers of these two rivers that flow throughout the universe.”

"At most, I can only say I have dabbled in the aspects of ti and space."

Saying this, the Shadow God raised her right hand, and imdiately, the surroundings plunged into absolute darkness.

"In the Eighth Era, before I fell, I guessed that I had gained the favor of the river of ti."

"Because at critical monts in my growth, I could always sense so future changes and make arrangents in advance to avoid or counter them."

"Now it seems that in the Ninth Age, the last life-and-death era of the universe, even the river of ti cannot hold back."

"Um… if nothing unexpected happens, from the First Age to the Eighth Age, the power granted by the river of ti will grow stronger, reaching an extre level by the ti it reaches you."

Su Wen spoke up, "Perhaps there was so kind of unexpected event."

The Shadow God’s eyes flickered, "What do you an?"

"The Fighting God of the First Age can use the power of the river of ti to travel to the past and directly interfere with events that have already happened."

"Directly interfere with the past?"

"Yes."

Su Wen slightly nodded. After finishing his chat with the Battle Master, he guessed that all true gods must possess such abilities.

But speaking of which, the Shadow God did not have the ability to traverse ti and space.

Did the Current Wind God, the true god of the Seventh Age, have it?

After the First Age, did the river of ti rest and fall into slumber, or were there so unexpected changes that occurred at so point after the First Age?

Moreover, considering this perspective, the Shadow God of the Eighth Era is significantly stronger than the Fighting God of the First Age!

After all, he has profound experience with the support of the river of ti.

In the Eighth Era, he carved a path through sheer determination and nearly shattered the Remnant Universe.

So, what’s happening now?

Reflecting on this, Su Wen directly expressed his confusion to the Shadow God.

How could such a formidable Eighth Era fail?

And how did the cultivation system vanish so abruptly?

What exactly transpired in the Eighth Era?

"This matter is sowhat complex," the Shadow God began. "Since you are not true gods, I can only convey certain things through hints; you’ll need to grasp them as best as you can."

"After all, once you reach a certain level of power, even ntioning an opponent’s na can forge a line of causality that stretches into the mysterious realm."

"Particularly concerning the thods of the Remnant Universe—if you hold knowledge in your heart, they can exploit that information to extend corruption."

Beside him, the Star God interjected, "Senior, let’s not delve into such intricate matters. Just clarify what we need to know."

"When we reach the next sub-tiline, or so subsequent sub-tiline, and ascend to true gods, it won’t be too late to learn these things."

"Of course, if possible, please also explain the foundations and contingency plans you left in the Eighth Era."

"So that we in the main Ti and Space can rapidly develop using those foundations and backup plans."

The Shadow God glanced at the Star God and suddenly remarked, "Star God, there’s sothing I’ve been curious about since the last era."

The Star God was taken aback and replied, "Please, go ahead, senior."

"You don’t need to be so formal with ; calling senior makes a bit uneasy. Just call Jiu Ying."

"Alright."

"I just want to ask, in the Ninth Age, did you, as the Star God, ever propose sothing to the God of Wealth?"

Jiu Ying smiled and said, "That is… to replace all the Earth Deities of the Celestial Officers left from the Eighth Era, along with the commanders of the forbidden military?"

"Don’t hold it against for being curious; in the Eighth Era, your predecessor, the Star God of the Eighth Era, had an exceptionally close relationship with ."

"After we went through so events, your predecessor suddenly advised to eliminate all the forces left from the Seventh Age."

"Or rather, those forces that were still useful and obedient should all be deployed to the front lines."

"When the front is at war, the rear must not be in disarray."

"So, in the rear, we must station trusted individuals to maintain order."

The Star God: "……"

Su Wen: "……"

The Fighting God might not have been present and isn’t fully aware of this.

But the two of them were directly involved.

Thus, Jiu Ying’s words almost perfectly recreate the scene from that ti.

"Judging by your expressions, I must have guessed correctly."

Jiu Ying chuckled and said, "At that ti, I made a bet with A Xing about this, suggesting that the previous eras’ rear guard overhaul must have been proposed by the previous Star God."

"A Xing didn’t believe it then, but now it seems I was right!"

As he spoke, Jiu Ying’s expression turned sowhat somber.

"Unfortunately, the war that belonged to our era… we lost."

"I’m deeply sorry!"

"If we had won, your generation would have grown up in a world filled with joy and peace, untouched by the ravages of war."

"We fought side by side against the enemy, risking our lives in battle."

"Fighting God, your predecessor, in our assault on the Remnant Universe, held back one-third of their peak combat power to grant the maximum ti for destruction."

"I feel unworthy of the trust my comrades placed in , and even more unworthy of… your generation."

"I apologize for making you bear the burden of our failure and for the heavy price you’ve had to pay because of it."

"Originally, you shouldn’t have had to endure war."

"Our generation has borne the brunt of war’s cruelty."

"Especially the phrase the God of Wealth jested before the expedition, ‘See you in the true god cetery.’ Now it seems that may never co to pass…"
