Chapter 548: Pulling the Banner of the River of Time

Afterwards, Su Wen started chatting with the Star God, sometimes connecting, sometimes not.

Through the Star God’s explanations, he learned the true purpose of this crystal.

It contained a part of the Star God’s essence and divine essence, forming a divine crystal engraved with numerous ancient techniques, secret techniques, and forbidden methods…

Whether used as a life-saving tool or given to the Star God of the main Time and Space for absorption and fusion, it held immense value.

“A portion of the essence…”

Su Wen sighed softly. Suddenly, he remembered that in the previous sub-timeline, he had vaguely sensed the importance of this life-saving crystal.

Especially for the Star God, taking out this crystal might have serious consequences for him.

Now it seemed his instincts were correct.

Essence and divine essence—who wouldn’t be affected by losing such things?

Even the smallest amount could cause irreparable damage.

As for the Star God calling it a portion…

If he said it was a portion, was it really just a portion?

This guy has always been like this!

When he first gave Su Wen Star Martial Arts, he hid its true power, only revealing it when Su Wen was in danger.

So, was this crystal also something the Star God of that timeline believed would be crucial for Su Wen’s survival in the future?

“You’ve worked hard!”

Su Wen smiled warmly at the Star God, who was rambling on, trying to comfort himself about other matters.

He felt lucky to have the Star God as a guide in his life.

Otherwise, compared to Mo Xiaosu, he might still be digging coal somewhere!

……

When Su Wen returned to the God of Martial Arts’ office, he immediately contacted the River of Fate without delay.

Of course, he had already discussed things with Luobao beforehand.

Regarding the will of the cosmos targeting their universe’s top powerful beings, Luobao couldn’t provide a clear answer.

However, during her training at the River of Fate, she had heard rumors about similar events in other universes.

She’d heard that the will of the cosmos in one universe had developed selfish desires.

It seemed to want to use sentient beings as resources, absorbing them over billions of years as eras shifted, especially those top powerful beings who innovated new paths based on their original ones.

It aimed to interrupt, absorb, and refine paths that had never existed before, fixing its own flaws and evolving into a more perfect cosmos.

But the will of the cosmos, using sentient beings as resources, eventually sparked rebellion.

Over countless eras, great cultivators who refused to be used as resources rose up, leading all beings in a revolt against the heavens!

As for whether they succeeded?

That, Luobao didn’t know.

However, even if the other party didn’t succeed, the intense conflict and collision between the beings of the cosmos and the will of the cosmos were enough to give that will of the cosmos a hard time.

Given this precedent, the likelihood of their own will of the cosmos encountering problems has significantly increased!

“Dear God of Wealth, as a friend of the River of Fate, it is willing to address your concerns.”

“But have you forgotten something?”

“You promised to decorate your office with slogans against the river of time, but it seems you haven’t fully followed through.”

“After all, as the God of Wealth posing as the God of Martial Arts, you have two offices.”

“Only hanging banners in the God of Wealth’s office that attack the river of time doesn’t seem very thorough, does it?”

Su Wen glanced at the River of Fate’s response, a flicker of understanding in his eyes.

He promptly made a call, instructing others to produce banners, stickers, wall paintings… and anything else that could fill both offices.

Compared to the River of Fate’s explanation, what was the harm in having someone handle this?

The God of Wealth’s call was routed through a dedicated line in the military.

When the relevant departments received the God of Wealth’s request, they didn’t hesitate. The nearest production team quickly began crafting banners filled with uncivil language as per his instructions.

Following further instructions from the God of Wealth, even pitch-black river figurines were swiftly manufactured by large precision machines.

Although those executing the orders didn’t grasp the significance of these items, as long as the orders came from above, they were obliged to comply.

In fact, they weren’t the only ones puzzled; some top-level officials in the military were equally baffled upon receiving these orders.

Regardless, the God of Wealth’s command always took precedence!

If they didn’t understand, it simply meant they weren’t at that level yet!

Their immediate priority was to train diligently and advance quickly!

However, when this matter reached the God of Theater, who had just emerged from seclusion, his expression changed dramatically, and his back was soon soaked with sweat.

For an immortal half-god to react this way underscored the gravity of the situation!

“Star God!”

The God of Theater didn’t hesitate and quickly sent a message, asking, “Can you ask the God of Wealth if all this… is worth it?”

Meanwhile, the Star God, stationed at the Starry Array’s central hub, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth upon receiving the God of Theater’s message.

He had already been briefed on the God of Wealth’s actions.

After all, his position and responsibilities were significant, and the God of Wealth’s status was too crucial.

Even if he didn’t need to know, some people still chose to file reports after learning about this absurd situation.

Compared to the God of Theater’s panic, he found it hard not to chuckle.

He knew that the relationship between the God of Wealth and the river of time wasn’t as dire as the God of Theater imagined.

Moreover, wasn’t it the maintainers of fate who suggested taunting the Time and Space maintainers?

The God of Wealth even mentioned that their exchanges felt like childish banter.

“You call me a big fool, and I’ll call you a big dummy!”

So he felt it had a playful tone.

Perhaps in the chaos, the relationship between the Time and Space maintainers and the maintainers of fate was particularly strong.

As for why these two would assist the God of Wealth?

Who knew?

But regardless, they had helped!

The gap in their levels was so vast that overthinking it was pointless; it was better to take a break and, when the time came, they might devise better solutions.

“Let’s go along with the God of Wealth!”

The Star God responded, “I believe the God of Wealth has his own criteria for judgment.”

The God of Theater grew more anxious and said, “Have you considered that the God of Wealth might be coerced into this? There could be shadowy forces behind the scenes pushing him to provoke the Time and Space maintainers!”

The Star God thought for a moment and replied, “Then what do you propose we do now? What role can we play standing on the same level as the Time and Space maintainers? Should we ask the God of Wealth to relinquish his ability to cross time and space?”

Hearing this, the God of Theater fell silent.

Indeed!

Should they give up?

If they didn’t, they would only be drawn into a whirlpool of schemes and conspiracies, facing a perilous outcome.

Yet if they did, wouldn’t their future be doomed?

Even if he advised the God of Wealth to give up, the God of Wealth probably wouldn’t comply, would he?
