Chapter 230
by fanqienovelChapter 230: Judging by Actions, Not Intentions
“By the way, while I was in seclusion, I sensed a strong surge of magic.”
The God of Theater shifted the topic and asked, “And faintly, within that magical surge, I detected the presence of the Fighting God.”
“You… fought the Fighting God again?”
Su Wen nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I used a spellbook and four Supreme Amulets to teach him a lesson.”
“Why?”
“In the future, the Fighting God kills me.”
“……”
The God of Theater was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What?!
Did he hear that right?
The Fighting God kills the God of Martial Arts in the future?
No!
The Fighting God knows the God of Martial Arts’ true identity, so does that mean he kills the God of Wealth in the future?
What’s going on?
Is this some kind of twisted game?
No, this time he found it hard to believe.
Although the God of Martial Arts’ predictions had never been wrong before, if this were true, it would be a catastrophe!
The God of Martial Arts must not come to harm!
After all, the God of Martial Arts is tied to the future of all of Huaxia!
Given that, the Fighting God…
“Is there more to this story?”
After a moment of silence, the God of Theater asked gravely.
Su Wen nodded and said, “Yes, he was framed by someone.”
After speaking, Su Wen picked up his water cup and took a sip.
Then, he explained to the God of Theater everything that had happened to the Fighting God in the future sub-timelines, detailing the plot against him.
“Alas!”
The God of Theater sighed softly and said, “What a tragedy!”
Hearing this, he felt a pang of sorrow.
The Arrow Realm’s scheme was cunning!
They made the Fighting God kill the God of Martial Arts, leading to the God of Martial Arts’ death and the Fighting God’s ruin.
Then, the Star God and he would surely not spare the Fighting God, and perhaps they could manipulate things further, leading both to kill the Fighting God.
If he suddenly found out that the God of Martial Arts was killed by the Fighting God in the future, he’d probably be so mad his head would explode.
“Did you tell the Fighting God about this?”
The God of Theater narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Not yet.”
Su Wen shook his head and said, “After I beat up the Fighting God, I told him we’d wait for you and the Star God to come out of seclusion before discussing it together.”
The God of Theater nodded slightly and said, “Good move!”
“Even though Little Fighting seems pitiful in this situation, he still messed up.”
“So, giving him a beating to teach him a lesson was the right call.”
He paused for a moment, then asked, “What about the Fighting God? Has he already absorbed the sphere of insights?”
Su Wen smiled and said, “He finished absorbing it in no time.”
“Really? That fast?”
The God of Theater was surprised. “The future Fighting God can even take on the Earth Deity!”
“With the insights he’s gained at that level… I have to say, the Fighting God really lives up to his name. There’s a reason he becomes so powerful in the future.”
Su Wen raised an eyebrow and added, “Listen, what you said isn’t wrong, but I should mention that the Fighting God’s sphere of insights is dirt cheap—no, I mean ridiculously cheap.”
The God of Theater: “?”
Isn’t the Fighting God supposed to be the strongest in the future?
If stronger power means more valuable items, then the Fighting God’s sphere of insights shouldn’t be the cheapest, right?
Even if it’s not the most expensive, it’s weird that the God of Martial Arts called it cheap twice, isn’t it?
For a moment, he felt curious.
“How cheap are we talking?”
“At the normal price, it’s one-twentieth the cost of your sphere of insights.”
“??”
The God of Theater was stunned. That’s absurdly cheap!
So, the God of Martial Arts could just buy the Fighting God’s sphere of insights without a second thought, right?
After all, buying one of his could get you twenty of the Fighting God’s!
Suddenly, he felt a little jealous of the Fighting God.
“What if it’s not the normal price?”
The God of Theater caught the word “normal” and asked, “Can the price go even lower?”
Su Wen nodded and said, “Yeah, if it’s not the normal price, it’s practically free.”
The God of Theater: “…”
Free?
No way!
Is the Fighting God really that awesome?
He doesn’t even have to pay for his sphere of insights?
Does that mean every time the God of Martial Arts makes a deal, the Fighting God’s sphere of insights is just thrown in for free?
I mean, buying spheres of insights from others is crazy expensive, but if the Fighting God’s are practically free, why wouldn’t you grab them?
But seriously, why is the Fighting God so cheap?
Is it just because they beat him up?
Hmm… So, the price of the Fighting God’s sphere of insights is basically giving him a good thrashing?
If that’s the case, then that beating was totally worth it for the Fighting God!
“The Star God’s sphere of insights is the priciest, almost forty units.”
Su Wen glanced at the God of Theater and added, “Everyone else’s spheres of insights are expensive, but the Fighting God’s is basically a freebie.”
The God of Theater’s eyebrows twitched like crazy; he could pretty much guess what the God of Martial Arts was thinking—training the Fighting God is dirt cheap!
But is the Star God’s sphere of insights really that pricey?
Is it double the cost?
“You bought so much stuff last time—did you blow through all your money?”
“Yeah! I’m pretty much broke now.”
“Don’t sweat it. I’m about to come out of seclusion and get some practice in.”
The God of Theater grinned and asked, “Any special race products you’re after? Let me know, and I’ll grab some for you on my way back.”
Race products!
The God of Martial Arts loves those!
And of course, he loves them too!
Bringing back some unique stuff would definitely make everyone happy.
“How about something from the Dream Aspect Clan?”
Su Wen said quietly, “The Dream Aspect Clan can create perfect lovers, right? So getting some of their specialties would be pretty cool.”
The God of Theater chuckled and said, “Alright, I’ll make that happen for you.”
“The Dream Aspect Clan…”
“I haven’t dealt with them before; they seem pretty straightforward.”
“But who knew their honesty was just a front? They were actually planning something huge!”
“A race that manipulates hearts like that can’t be left unchecked!”
“As for the Holy Spirit clan, since you think they’re a former Subordinate Race of the God of Wealth, you’d better be careful.”
“Maybe they’re staying neutral because you’ve got countermeasures against them.”
“But this fence-sitting act? Once they rise, every single one of them will have to answer for it!”
“As a former subordinate, not lifting a finger to help their struggling master, and just watching from the sidelines?
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
“Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”
At this, the God of Theater narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Fighting God, if the Holy Spirit clan ever contacts you, spouting nonsense about guiding you through a destiny trial or honing your skills, don’t believe a word of it!”
“No matter what excuses they come up with or reasons they give, don’t overthink it.”
“Just look at their actions—that’ll tell you everything you need to know!”
“Actions speak louder than intentions!”
Su Wen nodded seriously; he wasn’t about to be fooled by a few sweet words from the Holy Spirit clan.
In the sub-timeline where the Wind God infiltrated the Arrow Realm, he paid a heavy price to uncover the secret that the Holy Spirit clan was the mastermind behind it all.
So, the Holy Spirit clan has to go!
“Boom————”
Right then, a deafening roar echoed from outside.
And in the skies above the Imperial Capital, the invisible Starry Array began to shift violently, unnoticed by Ordinary People.
