Chapter 547: Surviving Under the Dark River

“The will of the cosmos…”

Su Wen’s eyes flickered with thought. He had been pondering a question for some time now.

Was there something wrong with the will of the cosmos?

Otherwise, why would the Fighting God of the First Age have been exiled by the Will of the Remnant Universe?

Is it that the will of the cosmos in This Universe couldn’t stop it, or did it actually welcome this outcome?

There are also mysteries surrounding the Star God in office of the Second Age.

Normally, by the Ninth Age, especially in the critical early stages leading up to the final battle, if the Star God in office had any plans, measures, or backup strategies, they should have been revealed by now.

Yet, even with only the Fighting God left among the divine fate bearers of the Ninth Age, the Star God in office hasn’t shown any sign of a backup plan.

Is there none?

Or are they waiting for something?

Every Star God from each age understands the importance of long-term planning and strategizing for the future, and this tendency would be even stronger in the Star God in office.

So… did the Star God in office discover a problem with the will of the cosmos?

After all, the Second Age is the closest to the First Age, and the valley of the First Age is the teacher of the Star God in office.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Second Age must have been deeply influenced by the First Age.

So, the Second Age shouldn’t have remained silent!

Did they discover some clues, sense something different, and that’s why they stayed quiet, allowing the timeline to keep flowing?

And what about the Fifth Age, where Bai Li Chaoge is from?

Just the Fifth Age alone was powerful enough to shatter a Third Party Universe that was watching from outside the cosmos.

With such a strong God of Theater in office, how could the previous ones in office have been weak?

But why did they fail without warning?

There must be a significant reason behind this!

When two universes clash, it’s not just a battle between the cultivators of both sides, but also a struggle between the wills of the two universes.

If they could smoothly swallow the opponent, why pretend to fail time and time again?

Even to the point of exiling their own top-tier combat power repeatedly?

Of course, there’s another crucial reason that concerns their safety.

That’s the cosmic barrier set by the will of the cosmos to “protect” the divine fate bearers of the Ninth Age.

Is this really protection?

If it’s meant to protect them, to give them safe time to grow, then why are their own people kept outside while the enemies are let in?

What kind of logic is that?

Surely, in the judgment of the will of the cosmos, the Remnant Universe can’t be the allies, right?

Is this truly protection, or is it slaughter?

Adding to the Remnant Universe’s various schemes against the Ninth Age, there is the deep and harmful infiltration into our own base.

Does the will of the cosmos not know anything?

If it does, why does it not intervene?

All these factors and coincidences deserve to be analyzed.

“You don’t have to overthink it; I’m just giving you a reminder,” said the Star God softly. “If you can bribe all things, perhaps at a crucial moment in the future, you might truly encounter the will of the cosmos.”

“If that happens, be cautious.”

As he spoke, the Star God paused for a moment, then changed the subject and continued, “Actually, since I received the memory legacy of the Star God of the Eighth Era, I have been thinking about something.”

“The Eighth Era left us, the Ninth Age, with so many resources for future use.”

“In the memory of the Star God of the Eighth Era, I also saw that the Seventh Age prepared some resources and legacies for the future as well.”

“Moreover, each Star God in office seems to possess powers that ordinary people cannot comprehend.”

“They are also skilled at creating miracles.”

“So I was thinking, perhaps we should stay calm.”

“One day in the future, the Star Gods from the previous few eras might suddenly appear to surprise us.”

“As for the law of time that states a divine fate bearer cannot appear in duplicate, I believe… you have a way to resolve that, right?”

Su Wen was taken aback; did the Star God also notice the nature of the river of time being all about wealth?

It seems the version of myself from the previous sub-timelines shared quite a bit with the Star God!

“Calculating?”

Su Wen seriously considered it; the main Time and Space and the sub-timelines are vastly different in many respects.

But from another perspective, everything he is experiencing now is part of the life journey of his future self in the next sub-timeline.

So, the other party understands everything happening to him, including the River of Fate!

Even if he has the protection of the river of time and the River of Fate, the external perception is like a chasm, unfathomable and unsearchable.

But the Star God said that it is not about probing; it is about calculating!

Using the future version of himself, with all the knowledge about his current self and the information about experiences yet to come, combined with the Star God’s unique calculation methods, various futures can be deduced.

“You are still pondering the future I calculated, aren’t you?” the Star God said, looking in the direction where Su Wen stood, smiling.

Su Wen: “……”

Just a thought in my mind can be figured out by the Star God?

Is this a reflection of my behavior habits, or is it calculated using the Star God’s special algorithm?

If it is the latter, that is indeed impressive.

“Actually, regarding the various futures without you that I calculated.”

The Star God looked up at the sky and said softly, “I once thought about this with an extremely optimistic mindset.”

“What if in a future where we are victorious, your power reaches a level never seen before, surpassing the god king, crushing the universe, becoming a top-tier being in the realm of chaos!”

“If that happens, it would be normal for me not to calculate your future.”

“But such a thought is too optimistic.”

“Of course, I also hope that the future you can truly reach a level beyond what I have observed.”

“If so, I think… I could retire early and enjoy my old age.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wen helplessly replied, “That kind of level is indeed hard to reach, but on the other hand, if I suddenly owe the Dark River of Time a staggering amount and can’t repay it later, I’ll just go there and live as a narrator.”

“Being that poor narrator, constantly describing the ugly scenes of the river of time would clearly mean living under the dark river.”

“A pure laborer!”

“If I were to truly become an employee within the river of time, it seems quite normal for the Star God not to be able to predict that, right?”

Across from him, the Star God spoke again, “It doesn’t matter; you don’t need to feel disheartened. With the Time and Space maintainers and maintainers of fate guarding you, your future potential is immense!”

Hearing this, Su Wen couldn’t help but look at the Star God, who answered in a formulaic way.

Then he chuckled and used some minor tricks to project the Star God’s formulaic response.

The Star God’s dark secrets are rare!

When the next sub-timeline arrives, I can show it to him.

I believe the expression on the Star God’s face will be quite interesting!

“Now that you have returned to the main Time and Space, what I do is no longer under your control,” the Star God said with a smile. “So I don’t need to suppress the spread of my white hair that signifies monotony.”

“Perhaps when the day comes for you to return, I can calculate a future path for you!”

Su Wen: “……”

Suddenly, he felt that he shouldn’t keep the Star God’s formulaic projection.

Better to delete it!
