Chapter 346
by fanqienovelChapter 346: I’m Sorry
Li Tianxue stood frozen, her eyes wide and unseeing.
Others might have speculated about strategies or thought this was some clever ploy by the Rebel army.
But the likelihood that this person was the God of Wealth seemed far lower than any other possibility.
Not Li Tianxue. When Su Wen revealed his identity, it was like a thunderclap in her mind, shaking her to her core and making her question everything she knew.
A divine fate bearer!
Close to her master!
Knew her master’s dark secrets!
And most importantly, he had said… he was as close to the God of Wealth as one could be!
Now it was clear—it wasn’t just closeness. He *was* the God of Wealth!
The very person the Rebel army sought to destroy was now standing boldly among them?
And she had just been considering inviting the Storm God to join their cause?
Looking back at their conversation, the world felt utterly mad.
“Now, do you recognize who I am?”
Su Wen looked up at the sky and spoke.
“I still can’t be sure.”
A voice echoed from the distance, and in the next moment, a powerful figure clad in a blood-red battle robe, spear in hand, appeared on the horizon.
“Master!”
Li Tianxue’s face lit up with relief and joy.
The Fighting God glanced at her, then stepped forward, appearing instantly beside Su Wen.
The soldiers of the God of Wealth’s army tensed at the sight of the Fighting God.
They readied themselves for battle without hesitation.
At a single command from the God of Wealth, they would charge, even if it meant their deaths.
“Show your true face,” the Fighting God said. “With me here, there’s nothing to fear.”
Su Wen hesitated for a moment, then his features began to shift as his intent surged.
Soon, his true appearance was revealed to all.
It was unmistakable—the face of the God of Wealth!
“I came as soon as I heard,” the Fighting God said, studying Su Wen. “You told me a century ago that the you from this time point in the main Time and Space would arrive. I’ve been waiting ever since.”
“But seeing you again… it still stirs something in me.”
He extended his right hand and smiled. “God of Wealth, welcome back.”
Su Wen reached out and shook hands with the Fighting God. The moment their hands met, a chorus of rising and falling sounds echoed around them.
The God of Wealth was the leader of the God of Wealth’s army!
Meanwhile, the Fighting God led the Rebel army!
At this moment, these two leaders, who should have been on opposite sides, stood together with their hands clasped, witnessed by their subordinates!
It felt like a reunion of old friends, and the impact of this scene was immense for both sides!
For a moment, both groups, already confused, became even more bewildered.
They couldn’t make sense of this development at all.
“Yes, I’ve returned,” Su Wen said softly. “But I didn’t expect things to be this bad.”
The Fighting God wasn’t surprised that Su Wen had crossed time and space.
For Su Wen in the main Time and Space, entering seclusion and connecting with the Star God had opened a chaos in time and space, allowing him to arrive in the sub-timelines one hundred thirty years later.
In an instant, one hundred thirty years had passed.
But for his other self in the sub-timelines, as soon as he crossed over, his seclusion had already ended.
Actually, the Star God in the sub-timelines was probably just as confused.
After all, the message Su Wen had sent about the important matters at hand was crucial—life or death stuff.
Yet, in just a brief moment, he reappeared as if nothing had happened.
From the moment his other self walked out of the God of Martial Arts’ office, the line between the main Time and Space and the sub-timelines had begun to blur.
To put it simply, his sub-timelines self knew full well that his main Time and Space self would arrive one hundred thirty years later.
After all… before becoming the sub-timelines version, he was still himself!
How could he not know the timeline of his own crossing?
“God of Wealth, I suggest… telling everything to the God of Wealth’s army,” the Fighting God said. “Let them know that the God of Wealth they revere is a false God of Wealth!”
“And I’ve been waiting a long time for this day!”
“If it weren’t for the overwhelming power you left behind before your death in this time, I wouldn’t have the heart to wipe out all the fate bearers.”
“Otherwise, I would’ve already dealt with that thief and given him the Thousand Cuts!”
Su Wen’s eyes moved as he asked, “What’s happened to the forces under my command?”
The Fighting God took a deep breath and replied, “Over the years, those who survived the Path of Wealth you granted with your Second Divine Ability are almost all demigods.”
“And these demigods follow your orders without question.”
“If it’s a command from the God of Wealth, even if it means death, they’d follow it without hesitation.”
He paused, then asked, “Do you know how the Star God and the God of Theater died?”
Su Wen felt a jolt in his chest, a feeling of unease rising within him.
“The great immortal half-god, after being ambushed and surrounded by the false God of Wealth, was overwhelmed and forced to self-destruct by a swarm of fearless demigods.”
“This is the living force of our Huaxia nation!”
“We were originally planning to step out of the main world in a few years and head to the battlefield.”
“After all, your forces are incredibly strong, and the Star God has successfully opened the Fourth Path of the Demigod.”
“So, over the past century, many fate bearers have broken through the Emperor Level limit and ascended to become Demigods.”
“But… the great war over the last few decades has nearly wiped out Huaxia’s top-tier combat power. Especially the Path of Wealth Demigods, who, under the false Demigod’s death order, would rather die than let their former comrades survive.”
“…”
As the Fighting God explained, Su Wen quickly grasped the situation.
Originally, everything was going so well!
Since 2022, when they realized their timeline had become a sub-timeline, Huaxia had grown immensely powerful over the past century.
There were over a thousand Demigods alone.
With the emergence of the Arrow Realms and numerous Demigod clans, many had willingly submitted under Huaxia’s overwhelming strength.
At the same time, other nations on Earth, led by Huaxia, formed the Human Race community.
Over the century, the concept of individual nations faded away completely.
The main world now revolved around the Huaxia nation as its core, with other ethnic groups serving as independent partners in a united Human Race.
After the truth about the lost clans was revealed, the fate of all humanity became intertwined.
Especially after Huaxia organized several fate bearer rehearsals and warrior competitions, most countries around the world willingly joined. The Star God even traveled to various nations to foster goodwill.
Chaotic regions found new order thanks to the Star God’s visits.
War-torn areas saw their conflicts extinguished by the Star God’s gentle words.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
But no one could have predicted that the “God of Wealth” would suddenly turn against them!
As a result, divine fate bearers fell in droves, and the Top Levels fought alone, one after another perishing.
Old friends became enemies.
Former comrades turned their weapons on each other.
All of this chaos and upheaval stemmed from the “God of Wealth’s” sudden shift in allegiance.
The great foundation built by the Human Race community over a century was rapidly crumbling, teetering on the edge of collapse.
“I’m sorry.”
After a moment of silence, Su Wen spoke.
He had crossed time and space, tirelessly hunting traitors, hoping to secure a bright and beautiful future for the main Time and Space and all sub-timelines.
But this time, when everything seemed so promising and they were ready to support the battlefield, he… had become the traitor himself.
