Chapter 398: The Predestined Fate

"Perhaps those three were dressed as ancestors, but to avoid any misunderstanding, or to provide us with the most help in the shortest time possible, they made this helpless statement."

As he spoke, the Wind God shifted his gaze downward.

He absolutely did not believe that those three were the God of Wealth, Star God, and God of Theater!

There was no other reason!

It was simply because their strength was completely different from what he understood and knew!

The difference was vast!

Even assuming that the main Time and Space and sub-timelines were true, the development of time in the main Time and Space was clearly behind that of the sub-timelines.

With the sub-timelines being ahead of the main Time and Space for so long, how could the main Time and Space still possess such strength?

It was already quite good that the sub-timelines did not support the main Time and Space!

How could the main Time and Space possibly support the sub-timelines?

Brother God of Fighting was still lacking in logical reasoning; just from this so-called statement of sub-timelines and main Time and Space, he could see many flaws.

"Are you thinking too much?"

The Fighting God scratched his head and said, "If they really are ancestors from afar, they could just state their identity, and we would trust them unconditionally!"

"After all, their strength is so powerful."

"Even if they wanted to do something, we wouldn’t be able to stop them."

The Wind God shook his head slightly upon hearing this, then looked up towards the distance, lost in thought.

……

At the same time, in a mysterious place shrouded in the power of time and space.

"Hello, Star God of the Ninth Age."

A warm voice came from behind, and then a figure dressed in starry battle attire, wearing a starry mask, stepping in starry boots, and crowned with a starry crown emerged from the silver area.

"Hello, Star God of the Eighth Era."

The Star God looked at the newcomer, who had a very similar appearance, and cupped his hands in greeting.

He was still very polite in front of his ancestor.

"You don’t need to be so formal; I won’t be here for long."

"A name is just a code."

"You are the Star God of the Ninth Age, so I’ll call you Star Nine."

"And you can just call me Star Eight."

Star Eight smiled slightly and spoke.

The Star God was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, Star Eight."

The Star God of the Eighth Era referred to him as Star Eight.

If he were to meet the Star God of the First Age in the future, wouldn’t he have to call him Star One?

Hmm… or maybe Star Big?

"I know what you want to ask, or rather, I know what the Great God of Wealth of the Ninth Age wants to know."

Star Eight got straight to the point, saying, "Actually, ever since Mo Ziling started making a name for himself on the battlefield, the moment we found out he was given a destined profession by the Great God of Wealth of the Ninth Age, we all knew we had lost."

"Even though I don’t know why I’m here or why I can talk to you, since I’ve managed to regain consciousness for a short time, I can share some of the backup plans I set up."

As he spoke, Star Eight paused, then waved his right hand, and a sea of stars flashed around them.

"After learning about Mo Ziling, I started laying down some backup plans to give the Ninth Age a better shot at turning things around."

"Now, listen carefully. I’ll tell you the location, and you need to remember it."

"Mo Star is a hidden planet I placed to the southeast of the main realm, three astral degrees away."

"This planet is actually a hidden war fortress, housing twenty-seven true god puppets, three thousand six hundred demigod puppets, and enough energy reserves to keep them running for a hundred years."

"Near Mo Star, I created a planetary realm."

"In that realm, I stationed guardians of the Star Path ahead of time."

"To be safe and to account for any future timeline issues, I placed restrictions on the guardians of the Star Path."

"If they dare to attack you or turn against you, you can use the essence of the Star God to invoke the Star God’s laws, triggering the restrictions within them and wiping them out."

"The guardians of the Star Path include seven true gods and one hundred and eight demigods."

"During the transition from the Eighth Era to the Ninth Age, some of them might fall, but as long as they follow my orders, they’ll be fine."

……

As Star Eight spoke, he revealed one backup plan and resource after another.

The Star God listened, and the light in his eyes grew brighter.

He hadn’t held much hope for the backup plans and resources left by the ancestors.

Even with the subordinates they left behind, he was wary.

But Star Eight had thought of that and made arrangements.

If he wasn’t satisfied, he could easily eliminate all the subordinates left by the Star God of the Eighth Era.

In other words, if all the subordinates left by the Star God of the Eighth Era were completely loyal to him and the Ninth Age, why wouldn’t he trust them?

As time went on, the threats and weapons became more and more powerful.

For example, high-function battle armor that allows a demigod to slay a true god.

Or the plasma star cannon, capable of obliterating billions of miles of void around it.

Compared to the later creations and resources, the earlier puppets and supplies seemed almost insignificant.

"Keep in mind, from the time we learned about Mo Ziling until now, it’s been less than a thousand years."

After Star Eight finished explaining the resources he left behind, he added, "So, what I left isn’t a lot."

"Most importantly, a lot of it is strategic material. Taking some out is fine, but if we took everything, it could seriously hurt our counter-offensive plans."

"Even though we all know we’ll fail, we still want to try."

"Who says a predestined fate can’t be changed?"

Star Eight paused, then sighed bitterly, "But as it stands now, we’ve still failed. You from the Ninth Age have arrived."

"By the way, when you meet the Great God of Wealth, please pass on a message for me."

"The destined profession he gave Mo Ziling actually matches the upper limit of the Great God of Wealth of the Eighth Era’s profession."

"That’s why Mo Ziling advanced so quickly. In just a few decades, he broke through his limits and reached the level of a true god amid the chaos of war."

"So… since the Great God of Wealth of the Ninth Age can influence us, maybe we haven’t failed after all!"

"Yes!"

"Right now, it looks like we’ve failed."

"But that’s because the Great God of Wealth of the Ninth Age only changed Mo Ziling."

"If—and I know this is a long shot—but if it’s possible, my comrades and I really hope the Great God of Wealth of the Ninth Age could change more of the warriors from the Eighth Era."

"Every true god-level warrior we gain increases our chances of victory."

"You’re fighting hard now, slaying enemies!"

"And we… want to fight one more time in the past, for you and for ourselves!"

"To see if we can wipe out the remnants in the Eighth Era for good!"
