Crossing the Timeline: Is It Reasonable for Me, the God of Wealth, To Be Short on Money? Chapter 42

"Truly, the Star God!"

Su Wen couldn’t help but marvel. Although the Fighting God outlived him, he was still short-lived.

In such a short span, the Star God had managed to break through the threshold of a Level Two warrior and had revised the Foundational Body Refinent Technique 2.0.

It seems my decision was right; convincing the Star God to focus on martial arts will allow it to flourish even more rapidly with his involvent.

Especially now, with the introduction of Foundational Body Refinent Technique 3.0, which is largely the Star God’s doing.

If I show the Star God the Foundational Body Refinent Technique 3.0, won’t he have another mont of enlightennt?

It’s a win-win!

[Under the guidance of Fighting God’s trace of consciousness, you quickly grasped the uniqueness of Foundational Body Refinent Technique 3.0 and, leveraging your mastery of Foundational Body Refinent Technique 2.0, you swiftly learned the new version.]

[Then, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness looked at you and fell silent.]

[Suddenly, he spoke, urging you to persuade his past self to collaborate with the Star God on revising the Foundational Body Refinent Technique.]

[He was intrigued by the Star God’s relentless pursuit of flashes of inspiration and wanted to experience that exhilaration himself.]

[You signaled that you’d handle it. With Fighting God’s trace of consciousness’s words, you’d go to any lengths—drugging, cursing, or even ntal manipulation—to bring the past tiline’s Fighting God into the martial arts fold.]

[Fighting God’s trace of consciousness smirked; perhaps drugging and cursing were unnecessary. Knowing himself, a bit of persuasion about the Foundational Body Refinent Technique needing his help, coupled with a few drinks, might suffice.]

[Besides, being a man of his word, it wouldn’t be too hard for him.]

[Oh, persuasive God of Wealth! After roping in the Star God, you’ve successfully enlisted another fate bearer with the character "God" into martial arts, and this ti, he’s eager to join.]

[Keep pushing, keep persuading. The blooming of the flowers of martial arts hinges on your words.]

Su Wen: "……"

That darn narration, what’s it implying?

How can the success of the flowers of martial arts rest solely on my words?

The advancent of martial arts is clearly an inevitable trend!

Otherwise, how would the Star God have invented the Foundational Body Refinent Technique in the original tiline?

Of course, it was initially called the Body Refinent Technique.

In short, martial arts is evolving rapidly, with constant breakthroughs.

With a bit more effort, perhaps the martial arts system will soon rival the fate bearers.

After all, third-tier warriors… aren’t just cannon fodder anymore, right?

If a large number of third-tier warriors erge, their impact on the battlefield would be significant, wouldn’t it?

After all, as a Level Two warrior, my physical prowess is quite formidable.

[Fighting God’s trace of consciousness waved his right hand, and a horizontal axis appeared before you.]

[Next, he would use this axis to outline the events, with the vertical axis marking significant occurrences, to narrate everything that happened after July 2022.]

[But as Fighting God’s trace of consciousness began, a fierce, slaughterous intent suddenly overwheld the scene.]

[Startled, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness sent you a ntal note, urging you to rember his words today, especially to ensure you bring him along; he’s willing to dedicate his youth to martial arts.]

[In the next mont, a colossal figure, as massive as a mountain, appeared on the horizon.]

[Fighting God’s trace of consciousness looked at the figure with a sneer, raised his hand, and with the confused expression of the colossal creature, ended your life with a single slap.]

[You died.]

[Oh, God of Wealth from the past tiline! At this mont, the river of ti sharply sensed that you did not belong to the current tiline, refused to accept your soul, and began to expel your soul and true spirit.]

Su Wen watched as the chaos in ti and space suddenly ended, his mouth twitching.

The speed of this ending and the manner of death felt too childish, didn’t it?

But he recalled everything that Fighting God’s trace of consciousness had said, and it seed that Fighting God had considered that if he fell into enemy hands, he would need an equally valuable source of wealth for a Forced Recall.

To save himself so money, he had to slap himself to death.

Knowing he could not escape, such a decisive action was indeed the most suitable choice.

Most importantly, the enemy probably hadn’t expected it.

That colossal creature was left utterly stunned.

What a blow to the allies this was!

On the other hand, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness probably also wanted to deal with so unnecessary troubles.

What if he was a fake God of Wealth, a tool of the enemy?

Then, striking first before the enemy could react would be just perfect!

After all, if he were the true God of Wealth, he would die sooner or later, so getting it over with quickly would an an early return.

"Actually, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness did give a reminder."

Su Wen walked outside the training ground and found a massage chair, sinking comfortably into it.

"Indeed, in the real world, to ensure one’s safety, one cannot trust others too easily."

"If a problem arises, I wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences."

"But I can test the Star God on the tiline of chaos in ti and space."

"In other words… the next abandoned tiline—no, the word ‘abandoned’ sounds too harsh."

"Perhaps, it could be called the sacrificed tiline."

"Yes, after I activate the chaos in ti and space and travel through ti, the God of Wealth in that tiline did not die instantly; he is still here."

"Let him confront the Star God before he dies, to let the Star God know that in ten years, I will return to the future, bringing the hope of the past to descend together!"

"The details don’t need to be too clear; the Star God just needs to know that I will travel."

"Thus, even if the Star God has issues, I can still initiate a Forced Recall!"

With this thought, Su Wen’s lips curled slightly upward.

Yes!

Why hadn’t he thought of this earlier?

He only focused on doubling the source of wealth to test the Wind God. Why not directly test the Star God?

The Star God is far more important than the Wind God!

As long as he confirms that the Star God is not a traitor, wouldn’t he finally have soone he could trust?

Moreover, extending the tiline to test the Star God once, to see the Star God’s reaction in the sacrificed tiline, would allow him to judge again.

"Under Fighting God’s rugged mask is a handso face."

"Behind the carefree persona lies a delicate heart!"

"Could such a person be a loose-lipped chatterbox?"

Su Wen chuckled softly. With his future direction found and the ability to quickly identify allies, he suddenly felt the future… was not utterly dark.

He held the future in his hands!

Suddenly, the voice of the Star God echoed in Su Wen’s mind.

"God of Wealth, are you busy right now?"

"If not, co up for a mont. I need your participation in sothing."
