Chapter 494: Find the Real Culprit Behind the Scenes

[Honorable Great God of Wealth! Entertainment Activities are called entertainment because they’re meant purely for fun.]

[Think about it—doesn’t it feel satisfying to mess with your enemies using a method they can’t fight back against, forcing them to attack themselves?]

[If it brings you even a tiny bit of joy, then the entertainment from the river of time is doing its job.]

[Of course, if you really want your enemies to suffer the ultimate pain, to feel the full weight of their punishment for crossing you, that’s also an option.]

[It’s simple—just pay more!]

[The river of time doesn’t deal in empty promises; that’s no fun.]

[And as for dividing things into levels? The river of time finds that pointless. No need for that kind of hassle.]

[Boosting damage is easy.]

[Just pour your wealth into the arrows, or if that’s too much trouble, you can channel your wealth directly into the Divine Bow of Time and Space.]

[Then, you can transfer that damage-boosting wealth onto the Time and Space Arrows you shoot out.]

[The level of damage depends on how much wealth you invest.]

[Of course, to make sure you have an amazing experience and considering your current financial situation, the river of time is giving you a two hundred million wealth limit, along with an incredible discount, so you can really enjoy yourself here.]

[Go for it!]

[And rest assured, Great God of Wealth, the creations of the river of time will never let you down!]

“This time, they’re being so generous?”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow, thinking, “Is this two hundred million wealth limit just to get me hooked?”

“After all, once you get a taste of the game, you’re more likely to spend money later.”

“But why overthink it? The river of time is finally splurging—no way I’m letting this chance slip by.”

With that thought, Su Wen focused his mind and infused one million wealth into the Time and Space Arrow near Si Mu.

“Buzz!”

As an imperceptible force manifested, the Time and Space Arrow, which had been relentlessly slapping King Si Mu in the Remnant Universe, suddenly gained a razor-sharp edge.

The next moment, as another powerful slap landed, a searing pain shot deep into King Si Mu’s soul, making him grit his teeth in agony.

Then came the unbearable sensation of his entire body being sliced apart, as if by countless blades.

He felt the excruciating pain of his eyes being gouged out, the dizzying torment of his soul being boiled alive, and the endless agony of his true spirit being torn apart…

The pain only grew worse with each slap, quickly reaching a point where he could no longer endure it.

“Whoosh!”

Meanwhile, another Time and Space Arrow crossed time and space, arriving at a battlefield headquarters on the border battlefield.

Here, veterans from the First Age were stationed to oversee operations.

And Rui was there too!

As the Time and Space Arrow floated in front of Rui, it began to sway gently from side to side.

Soon, a line of golden text, unmistakably Su Wen’s style, appeared before Rui.

"The Remnant Universe is in chaos. Some True Kings can’t use their full power. This is your chance to start a war and gain some battlefield advantages."

Rui’s eyes gleamed as she read this.

Without a second thought, she immediately informed Gu.

Gu then used his own methods—maybe reaching out to his networks in the Remnant Universe or using some observation techniques.

In any case, Gu confirmed through his unique approach that there were indeed some changes happening in the Remnant Universe.

One by one, the True Kings of the Remnant were cursing like mad, as if they were facing some kind of disaster!

But Gu didn’t know the exact reason.

Still, with the Great God of Wealth planning a cross-time-and-space rescue, maybe… they could launch a small attack to test the waters and see what was really going on.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“…”

In no time at all, the emergency war bells of the border battlefield rang out once more.

This time, it was the real deal—a full-blown call to arms!

Hearing the war drums, many powerful beings, especially those in the central area of the border battlefield, came out of seclusion and rushed to the battlefield to face the powerful enemies.

There were old, weary elders, awakened by their disciples, leaving their mountain retreats to fight for the survival of the universe with their frail bodies.

There were border warriors who had defended their lands for years, their eyes filled with both excitement and rage. For them, this battle might be their last chance to reunite with fallen comrades.

There were also disheveled, ragged figures, looking like scavengers, rushing from all corners of the universe, determined to throw themselves into the meat grinder of war and give their lives for the Human Race.

One by one, powerful humans—some young and full of energy, others old and weathered—gathered from all directions.

The drums of war sounded!

War had begun!

The war between This Universe and the Remnant Universe was about to explode!

Meanwhile, on the other side…

The True Kings of the Remnant looked grim as they realized the enemy had launched a war.

This sudden move proved one thing:

The mastermind behind this might not be some chaotic powerful being!

It could be a plot from the Divine Fate Universe!

Their plan? To strike at the crucial moments of battle and deliver a fatal blow!

Already, the True Kings were feeling the pain in their souls, which was starting to affect their combat abilities.

It wasn’t too bad yet, but who knew if it would suddenly get worse at a critical moment?

But how could they let their enemies achieve their goals?

At the call of the Leader of the Remnant, all the True Kings of the Remnant set aside everything they were doing, including those who were considered hidden assets and trump cards.

Having already been toyed with by the methods of the Divine Fate Universe, what was the point of hiding anymore?

Was there even any meaning to it?

"Everyone!"

"If we unite our efforts, we will surely uncover this Hidden Hand!"

The Leader of the Remnant, clad in a blue robe, had a blue-golden divine pattern glowing brightly at the center of his forehead.

"Now!"

"Everyone, mobilize the power of rules, the power of the universe, and all other forces!"

"Work with me!"

"Let’s find the true culprit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, incredibly complex formations linked together and were instantly activated.

This was likely a cosmic-level deduction formation, and under the guidance of a top powerful being like the Leader of the Remnant, with the cooperation of all the True Kings, they could even deduce information from the Divine Fate Universe.

But today, they were destined to be disappointed!

"By my command!"

"Push!"

"Expand!"

"By the decree of rules!"

"Search!"

"Reveal!"

With each word carrying supreme authority spoken by the Leader of the Remnant, the power of the deduction formation reached its peak.

Meanwhile, Su Wen, who had detected the Leader of the Remnant’s intentions through the Time and Space Arrow, wasn’t the least bit worried.

In fact, his face was filled with a smile.

Calculating the river of time?

And under such a level of power divination, trying to uncover the forces and methods behind the river of time?

The Remnant truly had the audacity to attempt such a feat!
