Chapter 497: The Line Without Money

Su Wen listened to Fighting God’s self-praise, his mouth twitching slightly.

Had his earlier words really suggested that?

"Hold off on the self-admiration for a moment and listen to me," Su Wen said.

"My judgment isn’t based on some future Great Change or your overwhelming combat power."

"In fact, in the future I experienced, your strength was the weakest."

"Everyone else had become a true god, but you were still just a Demigod."

Fighting God: "?"

How could this be?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t his Level be the highest among everyone?

After all, he was the God of Fighting—how could a God of Fighting end up like this?

Before reaching true god status, he could understand.

But now that everyone else had become a true god, how could he still be a Demigod?

"So, what’s your basis for this judgment?"

After calming down, Fighting God asked in a serious tone.

He figured that if Brother God of Wealth was saying this, it must mean that the future version of himself had done something extraordinary.

Otherwise, why would Brother God of Wealth bring this up?

Was it just to amuse him?

"It’s because, in this future, I came across some subordinates of the Fighting God of the First Age," Su Wen explained.

"Additionally, I’ve learned a bit about some events from previous eras."

"Perhaps your situation is simply a matter of specialization."

"As the God of Fighting, you don’t need to worry about anything else; we’ll handle the rest."

"Your only concern should be the battles on the battlefield!"

"All you need to do is win your fights and slay every enemy you face!"

"If you do that, you, as the God of Fighting, will have achieved the pinnacle of success."

Su Wen paused, then added, "In short, specialization is key."

"If you don’t get bogged down by other matters, you might reach a level in combat that others can only dream of."

Hearing this, Fighting God fell silent.

After a moment, he suddenly said, "So… you’re saying I’m dumb?"

Su Wen: "?"

While that wasn’t exactly what he meant, it was true that his judgment was based on the fact that, outside of combat, the Fighting God’s intelligence in this era didn’t quite measure up to that of a Battle Master.

But in any era, having one leader is enough.

Fighting God, through his interactions with various sub-timelines and the information gathered, appears to be a safeguard established by the will of the cosmos. If all divine fate bearers were to perish, Fighting God, with his wisdom and bravery, might be the one to turn the tide. However, as long as there are divine fate bearers alive, or the true gods are still here, Fighting God can simply follow along and reap the benefits effortlessly. Everyone knows that within Fighting God lies a power that surpasses all imagination.

"I didn’t mean it that way," Su Wen argued. "What I meant was, while maintaining your purity, the rate at which your combat power increases will exceed all our expectations." As he spoke, Su Wen flipped his right hand, revealing a sphere of insights imbued with a strong combat will.

Upon seeing this unique sphere of the Fighting God, Fighting God’s attention was immediately captured. He didn’t even consider that this might be a tactic by the God of Wealth to divert the conversation. Fighting God’s thoughts might be straightforward: whether you hint at me or even insult me, it doesn’t matter. As long as there’s a benefit, you can do whatever you want.

"The sphere of insights after becoming a Demigod is truly unique!" Fighting God exclaimed as he received the sphere and examined it closely. "Indeed, there’s a significant change; perhaps it’s the divine essence aura that has made the exterior more appealing," Su Wen added with a smile. Even an Ordinary Person with no understanding could see that a Demigod-level sphere of insights is exceptional. No other reason—it just looks good!

"By the way, do they have the spheres of insights from the Star God and others this time?" Fighting God suddenly asked, curious. "Of course," Su Wen replied. "Then let me see them," Fighting God requested. "Sure," Su Wen agreed with a chuckle. With a thought, various spheres of insights, radiating brilliant colors and appearing extraordinarily noble and powerful, appeared before Fighting God, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

The Star God’s sphere of insights emitted a prestigious purple aura, resembling a vast cosmic phenomenon of purple energy rising and evolving from within. The God of Theater’s sphere, simply floating in the air, began to manifest the characteristics of the Theater World around it, showcasing the beauty of thriving art and diverse expressions. The Wind God’s sphere, the Shadow God energy orb, the God of Fate’s sphere, the God of Freedom’s sphere, the God of Frenzy’s sphere—powerful spheres of insights from various divine fate bearers appeared before Fighting God, offering him a glimpse of this exclusive feast of auras.

Standing by, as he observed the dazzling and extraordinary spheres before him, Fighting God suddenly felt that his own sphere of insights had lost its charm. Earlier, he had thought that his sphere had evolved this time and must be quite impressive. But in comparison, why did it seem so lacking?

"Brother God of Wealth, I’ve been meaning to ask you something," Fighting God began. "But because of my personal situation, where just about anyone can predict my fate, I usually keep my questions to myself. Now that this divine seal has been placed on me, I feel more confident to ask. Does bringing back these spheres of insights come at a great cost?"

Su Wen shook his head. "Not necessarily. It varies from person to person."

"Some people have to pay, while others don’t?"

"Pretty much, yes."

"And what about me?"

"You’re in the group that doesn’t have to pay."

"…"

Fighting God stared at Su Wen, unable to believe what he was hearing. His sphere of insights contained a vast amount of experience and knowledge that could significantly boost his abilities. How could it possibly be free?

"What about the others?" Fighting God asked eagerly. "Those who are in the same group as me?"

Su Wen didn’t beat around the bush. "There are no others. You’re the only one who gets this treatment."

Hearing this, Fighting God was stunned into silence.

"Think about it," Su Wen continued. "Sometimes, when everyone else is missing a sphere of insights, yours is always there. Why do you think that is? But look at it this way—your spheres of insights being free is a testament to your strength. If no one else gets them for free, why should you? Maybe it’s because you possess a power that even Time and Space fear."

At these words, Fighting God’s eyes sparkled with realization.

That’s right! This unique treatment isn’t for just anyone. It’s exclusively for him! If even the cross-dimensional Brother God of Wealth says so, it must be true. Indeed, he is the God of Fighting, the one destined to be in the spotlight and to save the world from disaster!
