Chapter 313: The Useless Master

"You’re the dead stone!"

"Your whole family are dead stones!"

The gray giant stone couldn’t help but start cursing back at Su Wen, but it kept repeating only this one line.

After a while of shouting, Su Wen stopped.

He had been using various words to redefine the latest meaning of "dead stone."

But how could this dead stone only know this one phrase?

Finally, after confirming multiple times that the gray giant stone could only say this, Su Wen reluctantly expelled it from the trading space.

"Let’s try again; it can’t all just be this thing, right?"

Su Wen muttered to himself as he felt around.

During Su Wen’s trading attempts, all kinds of strange and unusual things came one after another.

There were a gloomy thousand-year-old tree, a chatty black dog, a foul-mouthed iron lock, an irritable light bulb…

In short, both normal and abnormal things appeared in the trading space.

But regardless of how irrational they were in normal situations, once they entered the trading space, they could all talk.

However, it was clear that he had tried many times and still hadn’t found a single normal humanoid being, let alone a creature from the Eighth Era.

"Maybe the first time was a kind of privilege!"

Su Wen waved his hand and sent a chubby red-eyed rabbit out of the trading space before slowly sitting down.

The trading powers didn’t seem… very reliable.

If it truly operated as he perceived, randomly pulling beings from that vast multitude into the trading space,

the quantity would be overwhelming.

Not to mention the number of intelligent beings; even lifeless objects, which were usually overlooked and quiet, could gain the power to speak when they came to the trading space.

Overall, the magical uses of the trading powers would have to be explored slowly.

Or perhaps he could seek his future answers during the next exploration into the sub-timelines.

"Then, let’s head back!"

Su Wen looked at the Shadow Knife in his hand and sighed, "This time has at least yielded some gains."

"The Shadow Knife from the Eighth Era should be a good weapon."

Saying this, Su Wen concentrated and left the trading space.

When he had some spare time, he would try the mysteries of the trading space again.

Now, he had quite a few things to attend to.

…

October 14, 2022.

"Hu…"

In the core of the Starry Array, the Star God exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.

It was time!

He then waved his right hand, and the core of the Starry Array began to operate on its own.

After the celestial officer’s patrol, he would go to the Holy Spirit realm to seek benefits for the people of China, not knowing when he would return.

However, it was no problem; the Starry Array had been greatly improved by him and could already run by itself.

"Holy Spirit clan…"

The Star God murmured, then took a step forward, and his figure appeared in the office area.

He saw the Shadow God sitting at her workstation, playing with the Shadow Knife.

"Little Shadow, what knife do you have in your hand?"

The Star God looked at the Shadow God and asked solemnly.

From the large black knife in the Shadow God’s hand, he sensed a faint, heart-stirring aura.

"This knife was given to me by Brother God of Martial Arts," Mo Xiaosu replied with a smile. "This knife is very sharp and really listens to me."

"Especially the knife spirit; it’s very cooperative with me."

Hearing this, the Star God nodded slightly. If it was a gift from the God of Martial Arts, then it should be fine.

"The level of this knife might even be higher than the sword in my hand."

"However, I sense an aura of slaughter emanating from it. Be careful when you use it; don’t let it backlash on you."

As soon as he said this, the Shadow Knife trembled slightly in Mo Xiaosu’s hand.

For a moment, the terrifying bloodthirsty aura shook the surroundings, as if the Star God’s words had been the greatest insult to it.

"Be quiet!"

Mo Xiaosu slapped the Shadow Knife, feeling displeased.

It had been fine just a moment ago; why did it suddenly become unhappy?

She could even feel the intense emotional fluctuations of the knife spirit.

"Buzz!"

The Shadow Knife trembled again, then quieted down, even retracting its blade light, looking like a toy knife filled with a plastic feel.

"Which of my words… did I say wrong?"

The Star God asked, slightly startled.

Mo Xiaosu thought for a moment and spoke, "The Shadow Knife got a very unhappy feeling from your earlier words, especially the knife spirit; it felt insulted."

"And then, it was very sad."

"After I stopped it, it felt very wronged."

"What’s strange is that mixed in with its feeling of grievance was also a hint of excitement."

"It’s just… very odd. I still haven’t figured this knife out!"

"However, Brother God of Martial Arts said that this knife is most suitable in my hands and told me to use it boldly without any hesitation."

"In crucial moments, this knife would even shatter to protect me."

Hearing this, the Star God’s eyes moved, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be that my words about it backlashing against you caused such complex emotional fluctuations?"

Mo Xiaosu nodded, saying, "I think that’s the case."

The Star God let out an involuntary laugh and then fell silent.

He had never encountered such a strange and wicked knife.

However, since the God of Martial Arts gifted it to the Shadow God and said such words, there must be a purpose behind it.

Perhaps this knife truly has a deep connection with the Shadow God.

"What’s wrong with you two?"

Su Wen walked out of the God of Martial Arts’ office, noticing the awkward atmosphere in the office area, and asked in confusion.

The Star God glanced at the Shadow Knife and explained the earlier situation to Su Wen.

"Huh?"

Su Wen smiled and said, "This knife is actually a product from the last era."

"Its owner was a minor soldier under the Shadow God in the last era, who had a fanatical admiration and respect for the Shadow God."

"So, it’s normal for the Shadow Knife to have such emotions."

The Star God stood up and asked, "Are you saying that the knife in Little Shadow’s hand was a standard weapon in the last era?"

"Yes, and it wasn’t even of a very high level."

"…"

"The owner of this Shadow Knife, in the last era, didn’t even qualify to join the Shadow Army under Little Shadow."

"…"

Upon hearing this, the Star God waved his right hand, and the Ice Divine Sword appeared in his grasp.

The treasure from the Magic Clan he held seemed to be of lower quality than the Shadow Knife, didn’t it?

"Was the Shadow God on duty in the last era?"

"Yes."

Su Wen nodded slightly and said, "So our road is still long."

"Because of this, the knife spirit in Little Shadow’s knife is quite excited."

"To be wielded by the Great God, whom even its former master could not meet, and perhaps one day to die for the Great God, is an honor that its master could never achieve!"

"Don’t you think so?"

"Shadow Knife."

As soon as he finished speaking, the plastic-like tip of the Shadow Knife in Mo Xiaosu’s hand retracted slightly, as if responding to Su Wen’s words.

Yes!

That’s right!

Its life far exceeds that of its useless master.

At least, it is now in the hands of the Great God of Shadow.

And its useless master spent their life longing for just one audience with the Great God of Shadow.

Now, it has completed that!

Not only that, but it also wants to fulfill its master’s greater dreams and ambitions!

For example, protecting the Great God of Shadow!
