Chapter 485: Azure Fortune

"Ah, by the way, my issues shouldn’t drag you down."

Rui shifted her gaze to Su Wen and said, "You should really think about leaving soon, using your own method."

As she spoke, Rui pointed to Su Wen’s forehead.

"Your strength isn’t great, so you might not feel it."

"But I can clearly sense it—no, I should say I can see it."

"On your forehead, the once radiant golden light of fortune has now turned into a smoky black energy."

"Perhaps, your time with us is nearing its end."

Beside her, Su Wen was momentarily stunned by her words.

Is it happening again?

It’s only been just over five years, is it really necessary?

Why is the dark river so petty?

Is it because he hasn’t bought any Time and Space brand products recently?

"Child, don’t worry."

"As long as you’re still here, this clone of mine will protect you."

"With me around, even if the main realm suddenly explodes, I can keep you safe."

"And about your…"

Rui’s words abruptly stopped.

Then, the Battle Secret Realm she had conjured began to shake violently, and under her power’s influence, the shaking grew more intense.

"There’s a problem; we need to leave here."

Rui frowned and said, then waved her hand, instantly taking Su Wen away from that place.

"Boom————"

A deafening sound suddenly echoed near the main realm, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Master Lady, did the secret realm… explode?" Su Wen took a deep breath and asked solemnly.

"Yes."

A look of helplessness flashed in Rui’s eyes. Was the backlash of fortune this severe?

Even though her own fortune was still normal, could her connection to the God of Wealth cause such an event?

The Battle Secret Realm, created from a strand of her power of rules and fully under her control, had actually exploded right before her eyes?

What was this?

It was like an ant wielding billions of Divine Swords, challenging the heavens.

It was truly awe-inspiring!

At the same time, it was absurd beyond imagination!

"Master Lady, wait for me a moment."

After Su Wen spoke, he focused his thoughts and directly summoned the narration.

[Respected God of Wealth! The river of time has sensed your needs and has come to serve you.]

[……]

Su Wen quickly skipped over the narration’s flattery of the river of time and the various payment issues in this timeline.

His goal was simple; he wanted to use his wealth to benefit the sub-timelines.

Furthermore, he wanted Rui, the Master Lady, to assess if there had been any changes to the fortune on his forehead.

Of course, the main reason was that the Ink River was too greedy!

To stay for just one more year, it demanded a colossal ten trillion in wealth!

One could only say that the Ink River truly lived up to the nickname he had given it!

[Rich God of Wealth! This is your first visit to the Time and Space Store, and you have showcased your extravagant wealth in front of the river of time!]

[Congratulations! You have spent one hundred and fifty billion in wealth to purchase a chance to resurrect the Star God.]

[In the future, no matter the circumstances of the Star God’s death in this timeline, the power of time and space will act endlessly, turning back time and allowing the Star God to live again!]

[Congratulations! You have spent one hundred and ten billion in wealth to purchase a chance to resurrect the Shadow God.]

[Congratulations! You have spent ninety billion in wealth to purchase a chance to resurrect the Wind God.]

[Congratulations! You have spent eighty-five billion in wealth to purchase a chance to resurrect the God of Theater.]

[……]

[The river of time kindly reminds you that, given your substantial spending in a short time, it has decided to offer a grand returning gift.]

[The original price of the Fighting God resurrection chance, one hundred and twenty-eight billion, is now available for just one source of wealth, allowing you to take it home almost for free!]

[Don’t hesitate to take action!]

[Order now and enjoy the discount!]

[The river of time solemnly declares that the more you buy, the more you receive. Buy more, get more—this has always been the river of time’s trademark!]

[Therefore, true celestial officers always choose the river of time instead of some malevolent guest with ill intentions!]

Su Wen: "……"

Honestly, he wasn’t sure whether he should take this gift from the river of time.

On one hand, it was quite tempting.

With just one unit of wealth, he could buy a resurrection chance for the Fighting God.

But on the other hand, if the future Fighting God were to die, it would most likely be due to his own comrades.

Or rather, it would be for the sake of himself and the main Time and Space.

So, wouldn’t it be quite awkward if he purchased a resurrection insurance for the Fighting God at this moment?

"However, a resurrected Fighting God would undoubtedly play a much stronger role in the deterrence phase."

Su Wen thought to himself, "Since everyone knows the Fighting God can be resurrected, they’ll definitely attack him when necessary, or his self-destructive tendencies will peak."

"If the Legacy Clan doesn’t know about this, they must be scared of dying."

"After all, the Legacy Clan doesn’t want a mutual destruction scenario."

"And since the river of time is offering, it would be a shame not to take it!"

Thinking this, Su Wen focused and spent a bit of wealth to buy a cost-effective resurrection chance for the Fighting God.

[Congratulations! You’ve spent 270 billion wealth on a major auxiliary effect from the river of time: Martial Arts System training efficiency doubled.]

[Congratulations! You’ve spent 190 billion wealth on a major creation effect from the river of time: Martial Arts research efficiency doubled.]

[……]

As Su Wen was on a shopping spree, Rui’s gaze flickered slightly.

It’s common knowledge that the current Fighting God would be rejected by the present timeline due to his extraordinary experiences.

This is unavoidable!

That’s why she understood the Little God of Wealth’s situation so well.

But it was her first time hearing that this rejection could be reversed!

Is this what it means to be the current Deity of Wealth in Office?

To even ignore the rejection of Time and Space?

"Child, the color of the luck on your forehead has changed."

Rui suddenly said, "Now, it’s a deep blue."

Su Wen stopped shopping and asked, puzzled, "What does blue luck mean…"

He understood golden and pitch-black luck.

But blue luck… the color of rivers and oceans?

Has the river of time given him a buff?

"I’m not sure; it’s my first time seeing such a mysterious and miraculous hue of luck."

Rui shook her head. "But it’s certain that the extreme crisis you were in has disappeared."

"I must say, you have quite the means."

"At least, you’re better than that fickle jerk!"

Su Wen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed!

Not having to pay for Time and Space stay fees while shopping at the Time and Space Store also means he could stay longer.

After all, celestial officers surely receive some special treatment.

"Using the wealth of the sub-timeline to benefit the sub-timelines makes sense!"

"After all, this time it was a true self crossover, so increasing the duration of stay is quite meaningful."
