Chapter 343: The God of Wealth No Longer as Remembered

Su Wen stood frozen, listening to Li Tianxue’s words.

The Star God and the God of Theater were killed by "himself"?

It seemed to be true; his counterpart in the sub-timelines was likely possessed.

Then the soul faded, and the true spirit collapsed, allowing him to cross time and space to arrive here.

The Star God had complete trust in him, so he was unknowingly killed… that was expected.

But what about the God of Theater?

The God of Theater’s mind wouldn’t concern itself too much with the differences between the main Time and Space and the sub-timelines.

Thus, the God of Theater would never simply allow himself to be attacked without retaliation based on mere trust.

Hmm… so the thing that possessed him is that strong?

Strong enough to kill two immortal half-gods?

"What happened to the Wind God and the Shadow God?" Su Wen asked after a moment of silence.

"The two divine fate bearers perished together."

"…"

Xiao Feng and Xiao Ying perished together?

It seemed the truth was surfacing.

In the Holy Spirit realm, Xiao Ying’s abnormal behavior, in addition to the influence of the remnants on the Eighth Era’s fortune, likely meant that the Shadow God’s position was tampered with by the remnants.

If his counterpart in the sub-timelines was affected by the remnants, then they probably laid a trap through Xiao Ying, first corrupting her, and then using her to influence him.

Was the situation already this dangerous?

What did the first eight eras fight for?

Wasn’t it said that the Shadow God nearly achieved victory and overturned the remnants during the Eighth Era?

How did it end up like this?

At this thought, Su Wen felt a heaviness in his heart.

It seemed that upon his return, he needed to have a serious discussion with the Star God about how to remove the remnants’ influence within Xiao Ying.

This was truly too dangerous!

"Xiao Ying is also in trouble!"

Su Wen sighed softly and looked up at the sky.

Beside him, Li Tianxue was taken aback by this remark.

"Senior, the one standing with the Storm God is the Wind God."

"What?"

"Because the Shadow God discovered this change early and informed the master, that’s why the master was prepared, which led to the appearance of the Rebel army."

“???”

“It was also the Shadow God who exposed the God of Wealth’s strange behavior to the public, and with his own death, he ended the life of the Wind God, who was the Storm God’s accomplice.”

“???”

Su Wen looked confused. Was that really how it happened?

This didn’t match what he had just figured out.

Shouldn’t the Shadow God have been the one causing trouble?

After all, in the known sub-timelines, there were no issues with the Wind God.

On the other hand, the Shadow God had that eerie blood-red aura around her when she was with the Holy Spirit clan.

Plus, the celestial officer lineage and the dark chains both showed a lot of respect for the Shadow God, so it made sense to think he was the one with the problem.

Especially… the dark chains were clearly messed up; after being influenced by the remnants’ power, it seemed logical that they’d mess with the Shadow God.

All the clues, both clear and unclear, pointed to the Shadow God.

But now, it’s the Wind God who’s in trouble?

Xiao Feng could sense good and evil even before reaching the king level, and after advancing to the Emperor Level, he could even read hearts.

With that kind of perception, how could he not notice something was wrong?

It just didn’t add up…

Suddenly, a thought struck Su Wen.

He remembered the Wind God’s mental state and the appearance of the Gale’s second personality in that sub-timeline where the Wind God had been hiding.

Xiao Feng had once said that because he could sense good and evil, his mind was more sensitive.

Even the smallest disturbance could affect him.

If the remnants’ corruption worked by quietly messing with the mind, then Xiao Feng would definitely be the easiest target.

“Ugh!”

Su Wen rubbed his forehead. The situation had already gotten so complicated, and the remnants hadn’t even fully stepped in yet.

He had thought that taking down the Holy Spirit clan would make things a bit easier in the future.

But now it seemed like destroying the Holy Spirit clan might have just drawn the remnants’ attention here.

Still, there was no other choice. When you have the power, you have to deal with enemies who block your path and keep playing dirty.

“What’s wrong, Senior?”

Li Tianxue hesitated. “Are you and the Wind God close too?”

Su Wen replied, “I’d say we’re all pretty close.”

“Your master, all of us—we’re all really good friends.”

“In fact, your master used to sneak the Wind God’s snacks and drinks all the time. The Wind God would finally get some, and your master would steal them every time he came back.”

Li Tianxue listened, a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

From what this senior was saying, it sounded like the divine fate bearers back in the day had a really strong bond!

If the relationships among the divine fate bearers could always stay that friendly, how wonderful would that be?

Then, Huaxia definitely wouldn’t be in the state it is now!

Especially the master, the one who sneaks the Wind God’s snacks and drinks; she could never have imagined him like that.

Of course, the grand and brilliant image of her master always remained in her heart and wouldn’t crumble because of this.

In fact, after learning about these things her master had done, she suddenly felt a bit closer to him.

Before, her master was a god!

He bore the suffering of all living beings and carried the future of the world!

But now, her god-like master had such a cute side too!

“If the Storm God hadn’t undergone a dramatic personality change thirty years ago, how harmonious the world would be…”

Li Tianxue murmured softly; the root of it all lay with the Storm God!

Her master and the Storm God had such a good relationship before; he must have suffered greatly over the years, right?

Especially watching his friend kill another friend; how painful that must have been!

“Is it possible that the Storm God you speak of is not actually the God of Wealth?”

Su Wen looked at Li Tianxue and said, “The real God of Wealth died thirty years ago.”

“I know the God of Wealth; no matter how much his personality changed, he would never do something like killing the Star God and the God of Theater.”

Li Tianxue shook her head and replied, “Senior, I understand that you have a good relationship with the divine fate bearers, including the God of Wealth.”

“But perhaps you’ve been in seclusion for too long.”

“Over the years, the world has changed rapidly, with all sorts of things happening every year.”

“We don’t even know when the end of the world might come; people have thought about this before.

The ideal is beautiful, but reality is harsh.”

“During this time, with the God of Wealth’s permission, many Path of Wealth Fate Bearers in the God of Wealth’s army have successfully advanced.”

“If the God of Wealth is a fake, then how do you explain this?”

“I must admit that a person… even with the power to destroy the world, will change over time.”

“And given the brutality of the God of Wealth, he might have gotten lost in his own power.”

At this point, Li Tianxue paused, then said, “So Senior, the world is changing too fast; you need to see it for yourself.”

“Your friends have already changed.”

“Especially the God of Wealth; he may… no longer be the kind God of Wealth you remember.”
