Chapter 337: The Interception of the River of Time

"Hmm?"

Su Wen looked at the Star God’s sphere of insights and the Fighting God’s sphere in his hands, slightly puzzled.

This sub-timeline had ended, but he hadn’t purchased the Star God’s sphere of insights here!

The Fighting God’s sphere being a gift made sense.

After all, he had bought the Starry Array formation diagram, which cost ten million riches!

Spending ten million and getting a sphere of insights worth a few thousand riches as a gift wasn’t unreasonable.

Besides, the price of a few thousand riches was based on the inflated rate from the dark river earlier.

The actual price might only be a few hundred.

What confused him was why the Star God’s sphere was given to him for free.

Was it another compensation from the river of time?

But knowing the river of time’s nature, if it planned to give him a free gift, the narrator would have definitely made a big deal about how hard it was for the river of time before he left.

Is it the river of time’s style to give gifts without a word?

No!

Or rather, is it the narrator’s style to stay silent?

Could it be that the river of time informed the narrator about the gift, but after being bribed with riches, the narrator got so caught up praising Yuanbao that he forgot all about it?

Thinking this, Su Wen glanced at Yuanbao, who was lecturing nearby.

If his guess was right, the narrator was probably getting scolded by the river of time right now.

"Yuanbao, how much does the immortal set from the river of time cost?"

Su Wen asked. Next time there’s chaos in time and space, he’d be experiencing the future himself through the fragment of the soul’s perspective in the future sub-timelines.

In the sub-timelines, the power of Money Breaks Duality and the River of Fate might not be accessible.

Most importantly, he had no idea how the flow of time would be arranged during this journey.

Would it be instantaneous?

Or would the main Time and Space and the sub-timelines progress at the same time?

He hoped it would be instantaneous!

That way, his main timeline self would have plenty of time to manage everything.

Overall, the slower the main timeline flows, the brighter the future’s hope will be.

So before leaving, he wanted to make sure everything was in order.

At the very least, everyone’s immortal three-piece set needed to be prepared, right?

When everyone becomes immortal half-gods in the future, the situation will surely be great!

Perhaps this personal experience of the future will bring him a big surprise.

"The price of a strand of the power of time and space, just like the power of fate, is five million."

Yuanbao spoke up, "But the price for the three-piece set on the river of time is cheaper than on the River of Fate; it only costs nine hundred ninety-nine million."

Su Wen: "……"

It’s only ten thousand riches cheaper?

Alright!

Ten thousand is still riches!

Saving ten thousand is still ten thousand; what’s wrong with having that much riches to do something useful?

So, the moment the River of Fate appeared, it brought the price down for me, right?

When the river of time was monopolizing things, it was really extortionate!

This massive price drop today shows just how merciless the river of time can be when dealing with “valued” customers!

From this angle, I really have to thank the River of Fate.

If it weren’t for the River of Fate appearing, who knows how long I would have been extorted by the river of time!

"God of Wealth!"

Luobao, who was listening to Yuanbao’s lecture, suddenly shuddered and quickly said, "The River of Fate has responded!"

"The River of Fate says it didn’t respond earlier because it was intercepted by the power of the Silent River."

"Although the River of Fate and the river of time are on equal footing and possess equal strength,"

"you were activating chaos in time and space just now, which caused the River of Fate to be bound and unable to utilize its full power."

"This let the river of time take advantage!"

"And thus, I couldn’t communicate with the River of Fate. Considering your situation, the River of Fate didn’t dare to forcibly break through the time-space blockade."

Su Wen raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yuanbao.

Yuanbao exchanged a look, indicating that he would go ask the river of time right away.

If this was true, he was definitely going to scold that worthless river of time today!

How dare they do something like this?

How shameless can they be?

"God of Wealth, the River of Fate has responded and said that reviving an Ordinary Person actually doesn’t require ten thousand riches at all."

Luobao continued, "But the person you’re reviving is the mother of the Shadow God from this era."

"Although on a biological level, she is an Ordinary Person,"

"the luck she possesses and the divine essence aura left within her when she gave birth to the Shadow God can’t be treated as that of an Ordinary Person."

"If you don’t believe it, you can try reviving a truly Ordinary Person."

"The River of Fate guarantees that the consumption of riches will not exceed one hundred points."

Su Wen was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Are you implying that… little Ying’s mother also has remnants of Eighth Era luck?"

Luobao nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise how could she become the mother of the Shadow God?"

"Is the remnant luck from the Eighth Era a blessing or a curse?"

"It was supposed to be a blessing, supposed to bring a lifetime of good fortune, but due to the Means of the Ancient Clans, this fortune turned into a curse."

"So, the River of Fate is reviving little Ying’s mother this time to remove the influence of the Ancient Clans?"

"Yes, that’s exactly why the River of Fate is charging you such a high fee in riches."

"Alright then!"

"God of Wealth, the River of Fate has asked me to inform you that, as a courtesy to you as the New God of Wealth, you no longer need to construct a true spirit passage when reviving people. All construction costs will now be fully covered by the River of Fate."

"Oh? That’s great!"

"Yes, but the River of Fate has a small request. In the future, when you revive someone, you just need to curse the river of time once. The River of Fate doesn’t specify how or what you should say; it’s entirely up to you, God of Wealth."

"……"

Su Wen was stunned. Was the River of Fate… seeking revenge?

Just after the river of time had insulted the River of Fate, it was now the River of Fate’s turn to retaliate.

So, did his curses have some kind of magical power?

Why was it always him who had to do the cursing?

But looking at it, if cursing the river of time could get him a better deal, why not?

After all, even if the River of Fate hadn’t brought it up, he would have cursed the river of time frequently anyway.

Making something he usually did official and even saving himself some riches? That sounded good.

While the River of Fate was venting its frustrations, he was also getting a significant financial benefit.

From this perspective, the River of Fate really seemed quite generous.

Especially compared to the river of time, the River of Fate was simply outstanding.

But why did he always feel skeptical about the River of Fate?

Was it because the river of time often badmouthed the River of Fate in front of him?

Or was it because the River of Fate had only recently come into his life, making him doubtful?

Hmm… Could it be that the River of Fate was too generous, or Luobao was too professional, leaving him unable to find any faults?

"I hope I’m just overthinking it!"

Su Wen thought to himself and then pushed the door open to step outside.

He needed to deliver the Starry Array formation diagram 8.0 to the Star God as soon as possible so that the Star God could be freed from the complexities of the great formation’s reconstruction work.

And the Star God’s sphere of insights!

The newly emerged Star God should continue his seclusion with the expectations of this sub-timelines Star God!
