Chapter 296
by fanqienovelChapter 296: Strength, the Foundation of Everything
Once again, Zi Xuan fell into silence.
When he didn’t know how to respond, he chose to confront the situation with silence.
“Alright, then let’s not discuss that.”
The Star God gently asked, “Can you tell us your story?”
“We can just chat simply.”
Zi Xuan: “……”
Is this what simple chatting looks like?
Star God!
Both historical records and his past experiences left a deep impression on him.
Plotting across the ages!
Determining the fate of all!
So even though this era’s Star God was not fully grown, he must be extremely intelligent.
Facing such a clever person, it is better to remain silent.
He should even try to suppress his emotional changes so the other party wouldn’t notice anything.
Even a point he overlooked could become a breakthrough for the other to find critical information.
In general, having such a person on his side would be a reliable ally.
But if that person were on the opposite side, it would be a sleepless nightmare.
“Can you not talk about your own matters?”
The Star God spoke, “Well then, let me share my story; is that okay?”
“Also, it seems like you respected me a bit more just now?”
“Forget it, forget it, if you don’t like it, we won’t discuss this topic.”
“Let me tell you about my story!”
“……”
So, the Star God began to tell Zi Xuan a warm little family story.
During this process, the God of Theater focused intently, and even the Theater World operated crazily, just to observe any subtle emotions that Zi Xuan might display.
He hoped to deduce some useful information from it.
“This person truly is unyielding!”
Moments later, the God of Theater sent a message, “God of Martial Arts, you should hand him over to me.”
“Though I’m not very good at some mind-bending tactics, I have studied them.”
This Demigod of the Holy Spirit clan remained silent, still silent.
Although sometimes emotions of sadness or hesitation flickered across his face, those feelings vanished as quickly as they appeared, leaving nothing to analyze.
So the onlookers were on edge!
“No need, I probably… get it.”
The Star God transmitted his message, and as soon as he finished, he slowly rose to his feet.
Then, he bowed respectfully to Zi Xuan.
Seeing this, Zi Xuan was so startled that he leapt up from his seat.
The next moment, he dropped to his knees with a thud.
How could the Star God bow to him?
In that instant, a wave of emotions surged within him, and his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
The God of Theater seized this opportunity, meticulously recording every fleeting emotional fluctuation.
“Thank you for listening to me this time.”
“Star God, you… truly humble me!”
Zi Xuan stammered, “As your ninth subordinate…”
“In any case!”
“It’s my honor to hear you speak!”
With that, Zi Xuan knocked his head to the ground.
“Thud!”
The entire floor seemed to reverberate with the loud impact.
“Alright, God of Martial Arts, take him back!”
The Star God gently patted Zi Xuan’s shoulder and turned away.
Su Wen waved his right hand, swiftly pulling Zi Xuan into the Gathering Treasure bowl.
The moment Zi Xuan vanished, the gentle aura around the Star God dissipated, replaced by an intense gravity.
“We… might be in serious trouble!”
That last bow wasn’t for anything else; it was simply to test his theory.
Zi Xuan’s words, along with the information he nearly revealed but held back, confirmed his suspicions.
Even if his thoughts were slightly off, it was only in the details.
The big picture was likely accurate.
“Zi Xuan, was he a subordinate of the former Star God?”
After calming himself, the God of Theater asked gravely, “So, is our predecessor still… alive?”
The Star God shook his head. “He’s probably gone; otherwise, such a major upheaval wouldn’t have happened.”
“First, Zi Xuan shows immense respect for me—no, for the former Star God.”
“Perhaps Zi Xuan once served under the former Star God.”
“It’s only natural for him to react this way in front of his former superior, leader, or… a revered deity.”
“Secondly, the story I just told is a logically coherent legend crafted by the territory, the Fighting God’s legion, and the true gods fighting on the frontlines, while the God of Wealth stays in the center.”
“Using the star disc to deduce and compute the star signs, I ultimately came up with such a story in just seven seconds.”
“Zi Wu, when I mentioned the Star Army, you clearly showed some emotional fluctuations, your mind unsteady, as if reminiscing or pondering.”
“So, the matter with the Fighting God’s legion and the battlefield of the territory must be true!”
“Finally, there’s the issue of Zi Wu’s identity.”
“If something goes wrong within the army defending against external threats, then it would be a huge issue… with the Star Army!”
At this point, the Star God paused and then continued, “You should have noticed that there are two demigods of the Holy Spirit clan, one named Zi Xuan and the other Zi Wu.”
“Both share the surname Zi…”
“Zi, a noble color, represents the power of the stars.”
“If the Star Army ever contacts us in the future, we should remain cautious!”
Nearby, the God of Theater sighed, “No, I actually think that aside from the Fighting God’s legion, which we can trust, the others might…”
The Star God spoke up, “Forget it, we shouldn’t dwell on it. At our current level, what good would knowing these things do?”
“We should use this time to focus on improving our strength.”
“When we eventually break through the demigod restrictions, or one day, when we reach the true god level, it won’t be too late to consider these matters.”
“Right now, we only have a rough idea. If we really encounter it later, we’ll have some understanding.”
“There’s no need to waste too much energy on this.”
“Strength is still the foundation of everything!”
“As long as we become true gods, the strongest in the last era—no, the strongest in all eras—then all the problems before us will be easily resolved.”
Only with strength and wisdom can we ultimately succeed.
Of course, this is under the condition that strength is similar or the Power Gap isn’t too large.
If the strength gap is too vast, then no matter how brilliant the wisdom, it will lose its meaning.
No matter how many strategies you devise, I will break through them all with sheer strength!
“Wait for me.”
Su Wen said, the Star God of the sub-timelines has returned!
Having become an immortal half-god and traveled through the starry sky for many years, he must possess a wealth of information.
Perhaps he knows the authenticity of the battlefield of the territory.
In other words, the life and death of the Fighting God and the truth about the battlefield will become the key points for them to deduce other information and everything else.
So he also prepared himself, in case the Star God of the sub-timelines cannot provide the information he seeks.
Then perhaps, trading with the dark river to buy detailed information about the Fighting God will be necessary.
