Chapter 513: Sharing Some Experience

"Yes."

Su Wen nodded and said, "Before, I ran into the Fighting God of the First Age here."

He quickly filled Bai Li Chaoge in on how the Battle Master had trained him in the trading space and about the Battle Style Secret Techniques.

He didn’t hold back about the God of Theater in Office either.

Honestly, there wasn’t much to hide about that.

Even if, by some wild chance, Bai Li Chaoge turned out to be a traitor, what could he possibly do to the Battle Master?

Of course, Su Wen wasn’t about to spill anything about traveling through time and space to the future.

He also kept quiet about his and the Battle Master’s ability to communicate with the river of time.

All of it was chalked up to the immense power of the will of the cosmos trying to save itself in the final age.

Anything that didn’t make sense was just tossed under the umbrella of the will of the cosmos.

"Sounds like the will of the cosmos is really in a hurry," Bai Li Chaoge mused. "But your knack for communicating with everything is pretty fascinating."

"I’ll try to find some time to chat with the Star God of the Second Age."

"And if the opportunity arises, maybe I can bring him over."

"I’ve always had this feeling that the Second Age is up to something."

"What bugs me is that I still haven’t found any trace of what the Second Age left behind."

"It’s frustrating, to say the least."

"I can’t believe my friends can predict the fate of the world, but the Star God wouldn’t have any plans at all."

"The era of the Star God ended with almost no historical records."

"The calmer things seem, the more I’m convinced the Star God is plotting something."

Su Wen chuckled and said, "I’ve been thinking the same thing. If I get the chance, I’ll try to talk to the Star God in office and see if I can get some answers."

Then, Su Wen changed the subject and said, "Here, let me show you how the Battle Style Secret Techniques work."

"When I was learning them, I made sure to ask the Fighting God for tips on teaching and sharing experiences so I could pass them on to my comrade."

Bai Li Chaoge laughed and said, "Teaching, huh? More like beating him up, right?"

Su Wen waved his hand and replied seriously, "Come on, why would I just randomly beat up the Fighting God? We’re close comrades."

Bai Li Chaoge gave Su Wen a knowing look and smirked, "Randomly? Are you sure… you haven’t been played by the Fighting God?"

Su Wen: "…"

That hit a nerve.

"Did the Fighting God of the Fifth Age trick you too?" Su Wen asked after a pause.

"Absolutely."

Bai Li Chaoge’s expression remained calm as he gently said, "That silly guy, though he’s sharp as a tack in battle, is pretty clueless in everyday life."

"I used to think he was genuinely dumb."

"But later, after I mastered the art of theater and briefly gained the ability to see through things, I realized he was just lazy."

"He simply didn’t want to use his brain, thinking it was too much effort outside of combat."

"And during battle?"

"Fighting is his passion. Using his mind to enjoy his hobby while taking down enemies makes him happy."

"From then on, I started giving him tasks to keep him busy."

"And it worked!"

"With some help from me and the Star God, that silly guy gradually became more astute."

"He even started coming up with ideas that amazed us."

"What really stood out to me was during a high-level meeting about the descendants. The Fighting God outright rejected the Star God’s plan and offered his own unique perspective."

"Believe it or not, his idea was implemented and worked out great."

"I still remember everyone’s reactions."

As he spoke, Bai Li Chaoge waved his hand, and a magnificent conference hall appeared before Su Wen.

"I made sure to save this moment; it was a real highlight for the Fighting God."

Su Wen saw powerful Fate Bearers, each dressed uniquely and impressively.

As expected, the Fate Bearers of the Fifth Age had some similarities.

One wore a royal purple battle robe with shining stars, and his starry mask was just as Su Wen expected.

From the looks of the three Star Gods, Su Wen could guess what the Star God in office looked like.

They probably also wore masks and either star battle robes or star armor when they arrived.

The influence of divine positions’ legacies was, as Jiu Ying said, even closer than bloodline legacies!

From his comrades, one could even guess the looks and traits of past predecessors.

Of course, the true god in office might surprise him.

For example, the God of Theater in Office and the God of Theater looked slightly different.

"From then on, we confidently gave major tasks to the Fighting God."

Bai Li Chaoge smiled and said, "I’m telling you this so you understand: no Fate Bearer is simple!"

"Use your comrades wisely; even that silly guy can do more than you think."

Su Wen shook his head and said, "Maybe it’s because the ages are different, so my thoughts are too."

Bai Li Chaoge raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Actually, we all knew the Fighting God was being lazy, but after talking with the Star God, we decided to let it be."

"Why?"

"Focusing solely on battle and not thinking about anything else, the Fighting God might one day unleash incredible power that could turn the tide of war."

"…"

Hearing this, Bai Li Chaoge fell silent.

For a moment, the atmosphere was awkwardly quiet.

"That guy has his own hobbies."

Bai Li Chaoge suddenly said, "He loves making friends, especially spending his free time with his Close Friends."

"If he really focused on battle… why would the Star God and I need to give him other tasks?"

"It’s normal for the God of Fighting to focus on battle; why should we interrupt his self-cultivation?"

Saying this, Bai Li Chaoge paused, then asked, "The Fighting God of the Ninth Age isn’t different from my comrade, is he?"

Su Wen nodded and smiled, "Yes, my comrade has quit drinking and making friends, and due to some events, he had an epiphany and decided not to look for a partner until we achieve true victory."

Bai Li Chaoge took a deep breath and excitedly asked, "How did you do that? Can you share some tips?"
