Chapter 387: I Am Not Afraid of Anything Anymore

"Yuan Bao, is it really that harsh?"

Luobao stood nearby, watching Yuan Bao’s actions, and couldn’t help but touch her face.

Then, seeing Yuan Bao close his eyes, his lips trembling slightly, she fell into deep thought.

Su Wen glanced at Luobao but said nothing.

Some things he couldn’t say; Luobao had to figure them out herself.

Although the River of Fate seems perfect right now, with no flaws to point out, the more flawless it seems, the more uneasy he feels.

The river of time might be greedy, but at least it’s still greedy.

The River of Fate gave him the impression that it was there just to challenge the river of time, not caring about anything else.

It’s best if wealth flows in abundantly, but it’s still okay without it.

The most important thing is that the current ability coverage of the River of Fate seems to match what the river of time could achieve with some effort.

With all these factors combined, what’s the true meaning of the River of Fate and Luobao’s appearance?

Was it simply to help him negotiate a better price?

That seems a bit illogical, right?

Of course, life sometimes doesn’t need to follow logic.

Especially for an entity like the River of Fate, which transcends everything; you can’t use common sense to predict it.

Let’s take it slow!

In time, it will all become clear.

After a while, Yuan Bao slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile of victory appearing on his face.

"God of Wealth, I have brought you a gift."

Yuan Bao said with a smile, "The river of time promises that when you go for the first exploration in a sub-timeline, it will arrange for the Star God of the Eighth Era to return and provide some guidance to the Star Gods."

Su Wen gave Yuan Bao a thumbs up, praising, "Well done, well done!"

Little Gold Vault, indeed a worthy companion!

Look at that!

From this matter, he could also see the order of time and space that the river of time often mentioned.

If the Star Gods of the Eighth Era could return to guide the Star Gods of the main Time and Space, what’s the point of the saying that two identical divine positions can’t exist in the same time and space?

Just as I thought!

The dark river’s bottom line is meant to be broken.

The dark river’s principle is, in fact, no principle at all!

As long as the tests are numerous enough and the packaging is red and thick enough, the dark river will lower its standards even for its previously made solemn promises.

But does the dark river implicitly mean to let me bring the Star God along?

The Star God of the first sub-timeline, the Creator of martial arts, who exhausted everything and lost all Divine Artifacts just to develop the basic martial arts law: the Body Refinement Technique — didn’t he even live for ten years?

"God of Wealth, they’re playing mahjong; why are you sitting here alone?"

A flash of light appeared, and then the God of Theater, wearing a battle robe, showed up in the office area.

"Master, is the matter with the beast world resolved?"

Su Wen was stunned. Was the efficiency really that high?

He had only spent a short while playing mahjong, and the God of Theater had already finished his business?

"Of course."

The God of Theater replied with a smile, "After all, I am not who I used to be."

"If an immortal half-god’s efficiency were similar to that of the Emperor Level, I would be laughed at!"

After a moment of silence, Su Wen suddenly asked, "Master, do you want to see the you from the past?"

In the first sub-timeline, the Star God suffered so badly.

Even if he deduced the strength of the Star God from the first sub-timeline based on the frenzied deeds of the Star God from the fifth sub-timeline, it was likely… still at the peak of the king level.

So what would happen to the God of Theater in the first sub-timeline, who was coerced and tempted by the Earth Deity of the Giant Ghost Realm and signed unfair treaties under siege from beings of the Arrow Realm?

He wasn’t allowed to fight at the Emperor Level!

Yet he watched helplessly as his homeland fell apart, seeing the sons of the homeland being trampled by the iron hooves of beings from the Arrow Realm.

Would the God of Theater in the first sub-timeline really tolerate it?

And if he lost control, wouldn’t the Earth Deity of the Giant Ghost Realm have an excuse to retaliate against him?

Therefore, it was likely that the first sub-timeline also faced the decline of the gods.

Of course, the Fighting God would definitely not die.

"What do you mean?"

The God of Theater was slightly startled, then asked in a deep voice, "Are you trying to help me recover the remnants of those beautiful memories that exist only in my mind?"

"At this stage, I think it’s better not to,"

Said the God of Theater, pausing and then solemnly adding, "God of Wealth, I know you have the ability to revive people."

"But the grand momentum of the universe and the order of Duality are fundamental rules of the world’s operation."

"Changing the universe’s operations forcibly, even if you are a true god, reviving a few people may not be a burden for you."

"But what I worry about is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back in the final battle!"

"You don’t need to say any foolish things to comfort me, like how there’s no burden in this matter. How could there be no burden?"

"Therefore, even though I know you have the means to revive people, I have never made a request of you."

"If my family and loved ones can return in the future, my choice would be… on the day after our victory!"

"Otherwise, if they are revived now and return to witness our defeat, they will again face a tragic end."

"Twice dead! Twice in pain! Twice in collapse!"

"If it happens again, I might truly go insane!"

"So… let it be!"

"Child, I know you care for me, and I can see your sincere heart, but what’s most important for us right now is this thorny path beneath our feet."

As Su Wen listened to the God of Theater, he slightly opened his mouth.

He initially wanted to say that Master misunderstood his meaning.

But before he could speak, the Master’s words left him in silence.

Indeed!

In the Holy Spirit realm, he had revived Mo Xiaosu’s mother.

That day, everyone knew he could bring people back to life.

But since he had ended his seclusion for so long and even spent time playing cards, no one had mentioned it to him.

Clearly, everyone was intentionally downplaying this matter.

"Master, I don’t know much about your era."

After a moment of silence, Su Wen asked, "What tragedies did you encounter in that time?"

The God of Theater looked at Su Wen and calmly replied, "The definition of a tragedy is not what it appears; thus, what I encountered cannot be considered a tragedy, but rather a personal tragedy of family ruin, with my entire family wiped out, all my dear friends killed, leaving only me alive."

"So from that day forward, I was not afraid of anything anymore!"

Su Wen’s breath caught. The various experiences of the sub-timelines made him feel he had already suffered enough.

Then there was the Fighting God, the Star God, followed by the Shadow God and the Wind God.

The God of Theater, other than dying due to his own reasons, seemed to have no tragic endings.

All kinds of schemes and calculations appeared unrelated to the God of Theater.

It could even be said that the God of Theater from the sub-timelines had little sense of presence.

It turned out that the tragedies had already happened in the main Time and Space.

The God of Theater had nothing left to lose.
