Chapter 220: The Bottom Line of the River of Time

【Listening to the Elder Fighting God’s method of atonement, you fell into silence.】

【The Main Time and Space Fighting God had just endured a beating, and his injuries had barely healed—was he really going to be hit again?】

【Last time, it was the sub-timelines of Fighting God who made the request because he felt uncomfortable seeing the Main Time and Space Fighting God living too comfortably.】

【This time, was the sub-timelines of Fighting God asking the Main Time and Space Fighting God to atone for him?】

【In other words, the last beating of Fighting God was a request from the sub-timelines of Fighting God, while this time, beating Fighting God could be seen as a way for you to vent for the God of Martial Arts from the sub-timelines?】

【Atoning for oneself, venting for oneself.】

【This method seems to be quite acceptable.】

【While you and the Elder Fighting God discussed the details, a starlight flickered in the sky.】

【The next moment, a figure in a white robe with white hair, the Star God, appeared in your sight.】

【Although the Star God looked vastly different in this timeline, even wearing a completely different mask, you still recognized him at a glance.】

【You could also see that the Star God’s white hair was dry and lacked luster, completely mismatched with his identity as a powerful being.】

【Normally, even a Level One fate bearer, with their vibrant Life Force and soul power, would have gleaming hair, no matter what color it turned, which would be pleasing to the eye.】

【However, the Star God’s white hair gave off a sense of imminent demise at first glance.】

【You sighed softly, hoping your feeling was just an illusion.】

【Upon seeing the Star God arrive, the Elder Fighting God quickly lowered his head, showing a face full of shame.】

【The Star God, noticing Fighting God’s state, also snorted coldly.】

【Then the Star God turned to you, slowly descending, starting to share his views on atonement either with you or Fighting God.】

【In fact, the road to atonement is not limited to just one path.】

【There exists another path, and this path to atonement is far more effective than simply beating the Main Time and Space Fighting God.】

【It’s just that you never dared to think of this path to atonement.】

【The root of this tragedy lies in the calculations of the Holy Spirit clan and the Dream Aspect Clan against you, but the real reason is the weakness of the God of Martial Arts who could not resist your overwhelming power.】

【So Fighting God, since you want to atone, you must surrender everything to enhance the battle capabilities of the God of Martial Arts from the Main Time and Space!】

【When the Elder Fighting God heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes.】

【In that moment, his gaze cleared, beginning to shine with strong light.】

【Because he knew that if the Star God said such things, it meant he must have ways to utilize everything he has to assist the God of Martial Arts from the Main Time and Space.】

【And under your bewildered gaze, the Star God shared his thoughts with you.】

【After the tragic incident of Fighting God attempting to kill you, he had thought deeply about many things.】

【The Holy Spirit clan is too mysterious and too powerful.】

【Even if you possess the ability to cross time and space, it may take a long time before you can truly eliminate the threat of the Holy Spirit clan.】

【During this period, the scheming of the Holy Spirit clan remains a deadly crisis hovering around you.】

【Thus, only by improving your battle power can you ensure that, regardless of how the Holy Spirit clan plots against you in the future, you will have sufficient strength to protect yourself.】

【Similarly, he was well aware of your limitations and concerns.】

【Due to the immense power of Money Breaks Duality, your sub-timeline self didn’t dare to break through to the seventh-level first, and the cost of crossing time and space after reaching the seventh-level was quite significant.】

【Until you find a high-value alternative source of wealth, it’s better to hold off on breaking through.】

【However, just because your level can’t be raised and your martial arts are restricted, it doesn’t mean you can’t achieve combat power at the Emperor Level.】

【Over the years, he had been preparing for your arrival, even venturing deep into the Arrow Realm to capture a few Emperor Level beings for experiments.】

【Fate was on his side, and a few years before your arrival, he finally succeeded.】

【This plan was also the main reason he silently allowed Fighting God to come here and pay his respects to you.】

【Since Fighting God wanted to atone, he should offer everything to you—his physical body, blood, soul, true spirit, combat characteristics, and even the power of rules… everything Fighting God possessed would be anchored to your true spirit and reside in your consciousness, ready to be summoned at your command.】

【If you ever faced danger, you could instantly activate Fighting God’s power, channeling it into yourself to unleash the unparalleled might of the peak Fighting God.】

【In other words, the power to challenge the Earth Deity!】

【He believed that with such strength protecting you, the tragedies of the future could be averted.】

【Of course, given the unpredictable nature of time and space, he couldn’t be sure if you’d be able to bring his experimental results back upon your return.】

【Still, he thought there was a good chance you could. Even if the power weakened under the influence of time and space, as long as it didn’t diminish to an unacceptable level, his efforts wouldn’t be wasted.】

【Shocked, oh God of Wealth! Once again, you were left in awe by the Star God—could such a method truly be achieved?】

【Most importantly, if everything of Fighting God merged into your consciousness, wouldn’t the Elder Fighting God essentially be dead?】

【Even if the Elder Fighting God retained some awareness, you were certain the river of time wouldn’t allow his consciousness to persist, especially since another Fighting God already existed in the main Time and Space.】

【The most basic rule of time and space is that two identical individuals cannot coexist in the same timeline, and you hadn’t forgotten that.】

【Oh, mighty God of Wealth! Out of concern for you, the river of time’s representatives decided to address your confusion.】

【In principle, such actions are forbidden!】

【After all, the appearance of the Fighting God from the future timeline in the past timeline would cause massive turbulence and severely disrupt the established order of time and space.】

【From any perspective, as the guardian of time and space’s order, the river of time’s primary duty is to maintain the normal flow of time and space.】

【And this fundamental principle is an absolute line that must not be crossed!】

【However, if you’re willing to pay five hundred thousand riches, the river of time will lend you a strand of its power to help mitigate any potential time and space turbulence.】

【Since your true goal is to enhance your own strength and gain the peak combat power of the future timeline’s Fighting God, there’s no need for Fighting God’s essence and consciousness to return with you.】

【As long as you pay the modest sum of five hundred thousand riches, the river of time will intervene, allowing your past self to perfectly wield this explosive power.】

【But the river of time offers a friendly reminder: the Star God’s method won’t grant you permanent access to Fighting God’s explosive power. Even under the river of time’s influence, that strength will gradually diminish with use.】

【Therefore, esteemed God of Wealth, you must keep this in mind and avoid recklessly relying on this power!】

【After all, your life is what matters most!】
