Chapter 350
by fanqienovelChapter 350: Dying from Scheming
Silence!
A long silence!
At this moment, the battlefield, which should have been filled with bloodshed, was eerily quiet due to the presence of the two leaders.
Su Wen’s earlier words were not spoken softly, and the Fighting God did not intervene.
Thus, both sides naturally heard everything.
Who among them was an Ordinary Person?
In the very quiet war zone, as all the warriors and fate bearers held their breath and focused intently on the conversation between the two leaders, even the slightest movement was clearly noticeable.
Moreover, it was the words of the God of Wealth Leader.
Both Su Wen and the Fighting God knew this news very well, and there was nothing to hide.
Once everyone arrived, they would all need to know the truth.
But before long, golden rays of light split the heavens.
One after another, powerful figures of Demigods appeared in the sights of the crowd.
“Get down here!”
Seeing enough people had arrived, Su Wen spoke directly.
As soon as his words fell, all the Path of Wealth Demigods in the sky lost control of their powers and plummeted down.
The Demigods’ consciousness and souls were incredibly strong, so in a matter of breaths, the Path of Wealth Demigods had gathered all the information from Du Baihua’s side.
Upon learning that the figure in the back was the false God of Wealth, over a dozen Path of Wealth Demigods silently released a sigh of relief.
“Du Guowei!”
Su Wen gritted his teeth and said, “I have heard roughly about that impostor’s deeds. With such obvious flaws and discordance, how can you still follow orders so readily?”
“Let’s not even mention other things; how could you execute an order to kill the Star God and the God of Theater?”
Hearing this, Du Guowei sighed and said, “Teacher, I was also present during the encirclement of the Star God and the God of Theater.”
“You… the false God of Wealth summoned us over and ordered us to wait outside.”
“Then the false God of Wealth began discussions with the Star God and the God of Theater while we chatted outside.”
“On that day, we all thought it was just another ordinary day.”
“But at 3:20 PM that afternoon, fighting suddenly erupted inside the building.”
“At first, we were confused and tried to mediate.”
“However, when we saw the ferocious demeanor of the Star God and the God of Theater, and our telepathic inquiries and confusion sank like stones, we had no choice but to fight back.”
“Looking back now, it seems the false God of Wealth used some unknown means to block our communication.”
“But at that moment, the scene in our eyes changed to the Star God and the God of Theater being enraged and wanting to kill you.”
“As subordinates, no matter how confused we were, no matter how much we respected the Star God and the God of Theater, we had to desperately intervene.”
“Then, under your enraged orders, we could only attack the Star God and the God of Theater with our lives on the line.”
“After all… to us, you are the most important.”
“But the power of the Star God and the God of Theater is overwhelming, and you gave us a no-retreat order.”
“Someone even sent word that you had a falling out with the Star God and the God of Theater, turning from allies into Life-and-Death Enemies!”
“If we let the Star God and the God of Theater leave today, you would definitely face life-threatening dangers in the future!”
“For your sake!”
“We fought to the death!”
“In such a critical situation, there was no time for second thoughts.”
“So, Wealth Ghost, Wealth Spirit, and twenty-one immortal half-gods you personally trained resorted to extreme measures, including self-destructing and burning their essence, supported by a hundred Path of Wealth Demigods.”
“I was managing the great formation from afar, while Du Baihua was away on a mission and hadn’t returned.”
“At the crucial moment of the battle, the false God of Wealth used the Starry Array’s power to severely injure the Star God.”
“In the end, at a heavy cost of lives, we managed to stop the Star God and the God of Theater.”
“We…”
Du Guowei’s voice faltered as he spoke.
“Back then, we all sensed that the Star God and the God of Theater were holding back.”
“Especially me—the God of Theater had several chances to kill me but pushed me away at the crucial moments.”
“Now, we understand.”
“Perhaps the Star God and the God of Theater had already uncovered the truth and, in their rage, tried to kill the false God of Wealth.”
“But they fell right into the trap of the false Demigod, leading to this tragic mutual destruction!”
Du Guowei grew more agitated as he spoke, his eyes red as he stared at his hands.
His once-steady hands now seemed tainted with unforgivable sin.
He felt he truly deserved to die!
Beside him, Su Wen listened silently to Du Guowei’s account.
This false God of Wealth knew far too much.
Even the fact that Su Wen held the actual control over the Starry Array was known to the enemy!
In other words, they had schemed to kill the Star God and the God of Theater, fully aware of our side’s secrets!
“What happened during the great war seven years ago?” Su Wen asked, turning to Du Guowei.
The river of time and the River of Fate both spoke of a battle 123 years later that would lead to the decline and destruction of the Ninth Age.
Now that the matters of the Star God and the God of Theater were clear, it was time to understand that great war.
Under normal circumstances, he should have been gone thirty years ago!
Surely, the decay of sub-timelines wasn’t judged based on him!
“Seven years ago?” Du Guowei paused, then asked, “Teacher, are you referring to the battle between the Wind God and the Shadow God?”
Su Wen narrowed his eyes and turned to the Fighting God.
“Did the battle where Xiao Feng and Xiao Ying perished in mutual destruction happen seven years ago?”
Was the battle that determined the fate of human civilization the death of the Wind God and the Shadow God?
If the Wind God and the Shadow God hadn’t died, would this sub-timeline still have hope?
“Yes,” the Fighting God nodded. “In that battle, both Xiao Feng and Xiao Ying fell.”
“It was during that battle that Xiao Ying uncovered information about the false God of Wealth and sent me detailed messages.”
“After that, I began to fully develop the Rebel army.”
The Fighting God paused, then added, “By the way, there’s something you probably don’t know.”
“In the Seventh Age, it was the Wind God’s duty.”
“Just as the events of the Eighth Era affect us, the influence of the Seventh Age on the Eighth Era must also be significant.”
“Generally speaking, if you confirm in the future that Xiao Ying had issues, you should also investigate Xiao Feng.”
“After all, the corruption of Xiao Ying by the descendants during the Eighth Era was most directly influenced by the Seventh Age.”
“Of course, this is just my speculation. Whether it’s accurate is up to you.”
“All we can offer you is this tragic situation.”
