Chapter 427: It’s Not That the God of Wealth Is Ineffective

“Most valuable trading target?”

Su Wen smiled slightly. Could the ability of the River of Fate really make his wishes come true?

The river of time could alter the future’s outcome.

And the River of Fate allowed him to achieve his desires in the present?

Was this the true purpose of the River of Fate?

Other abilities, like resurrection, enhancement, and defeating enemies… were these just extensions of the river of time’s business, designed to compete for trade?

He wouldn’t forget the guiding principles of the River of Fate.

Even if it meant taking a loss, he couldn’t let the river of time profit!

“If we’re talking about the most valuable, I hope it’s the Star God in office from the Second Age or the Great God of Wealth of the Eighth Era.”

Su Wen thought to himself: “Or maybe the divine fate bearer who hasn’t been found in this era would work too; the God of Sleep or the Sky God would also be acceptable.”

“Of course, if by the end of two or three years I could complete a transaction with all four at once, that would be ideal.”

With that thought, Su Wen shook his head slightly, pushing aside his unrealistic ideas.

Then, with a focused mind, he left the trading space.

In the next moment, a powerful force seemed to ripple above the trading space.

In the mysterious realm, subtle changes were quietly taking place.

……

February 5, 2023, Lantern Festival.

“Today is a day worth celebrating.”

The Wind God raised a cup filled with a special drink and smiled, saying, “Let’s toast to an important member of our organization, dear Brother God of Fighting, for reaching the pinnacle of king level!”

“Even though Brother God of Fighting’s strength is at the bottom of the organization, there’s no denying that he has more potential for growth than anyone here!”

Fighting God: “…”

Bottom!

That word stung!

But he couldn’t argue—the Wind God was right.

Just over ten days ago, the Wind God had been weaker than him. But after going to the Arrow Realm with Little Shadow, he came back at high-stage Emperor Level.

Such a drastic change in strength had left him completely stunned.

Thinking back, it made sense.

After the Holy Spirit War, Little Shadow had gained a group of Shadow Generals at the demigod level.

And Little Shadow’s own strength had been breaking through continuously, reaching high-stage Emperor Level.

Now, all Little Shadow needed to do was absorb and refine the Shadow God energy orb within him, fully grasp his future insights, and then he could easily connect to the source of the Shadow God.

With the help of the power of fate, he could then ascend to become an immortal half-god!

Little Shadow is like this, and Xiao Feng… is the same!

With the help of the Wind God’s sphere, the major obstacles blocking his advancement, such as understanding divine powers and mastering laws, have been easily resolved.

So now, what Little Shadow and Xiao Feng face is just the connection to the source of divine positions.

It’s safe to say this process won’t take too long.

He still has great faith in the talents of the divine fate bearer.

Especially with the boost from the sphere of insights in the future, their progress will be lightning-fast.

The only wildcard in all this is himself.

Brother God of Wealth has given him more Fighting God spheres than anyone else—no contest!

But for some reason, most of what’s in those Fighting God spheres is just battle experience and information.

The thing is, he can pick up that kind of stuff in actual fights anyway!

To put it simply, this huge pile of Fighting God spheres has pretty much only helped him perfect his four Fighting God divine powers, with little else to show for it.

That’s because the laws of Fighting God are determined by the insights he gains, both actively and passively, during combat in that mysterious realm of enlightenment.

So now, he’s in a bit of an awkward spot.

While everyone else is advancing at breakneck speed, he keeps hitting roadblocks.

If it weren’t for Brother God of Wealth’s help, his strength and level might’ve been skyrocketing faster than anyone else in the organization.

After all, all he needs to do is fight—no need to overthink anything else.

But now, the very laws of battle that give him the biggest boost and crank up his efficiency have become his biggest hurdle to advancement.

What’s even more embarrassing is that he’s currently the weakest in the organization!

In other words, the mighty God of Fighting has fallen to the point where he can’t beat anyone.

“Xiao Feng, you can’t say that,” Su Wen chimed in. “The battle capabilities of the Fighting God are undeniable.”

“The future Fighting God will be unmatched, unbeatable by anyone!”

Hearing this, the Wind God nodded slightly and smiled. “Exactly. Brother Fighting God is Brother Fighting God—whether now or in the future, no one can beat him.”

Fighting God quietly picked up the drink on the table and started swirling it around.

He might not like overthinking things, but that didn’t mean he was clueless.

When the Wind God said “unbeatable,” was that really the answer he wanted to hear?

That was a double-edged compliment if he ever heard one!

Hmph!

Just wait.

When he rises to his full power in the future, he’s going to have a proper showdown with Xiao Feng.

“Brother Fighting God, you’re planning to challenge me in the future, once you’ve grown stronger, aren’t you?”

At that moment, the Wind God asked with a strange expression.

Does Brother God of Fighting not realize his ability to read hearts?

Sitting at the table now, he can only understand the thoughts of Brother God of Fighting.

Before, he could even read Little Shadow’s thoughts.

But ever since Little Shadow got the Shadow Knife, he could only vaguely sense its general thoughts.

In many cases, he was often mistaken.

As for the Star God, God of Theater, and Brother God of Wealth, those three were even harder to interpret.

But now, the only one whose thoughts he could read, Brother God of Fighting, actually planned to beat him in the future?

Wouldn’t he have to teach Brother God of Fighting a lesson or two?

Beside them, Su Wen and the Star God also looked at Brother God of Fighting with strange expressions.

Lantern Festival!

A day for family reunions!

Everyone gathered together, feeling happy.

They could understand the Wind God’s teasing of Brother God of Fighting.

After all, several times, the Wind God had seen Brother God of Fighting secretly enjoying his special snacks and drinks.

Even when caught in the act, Brother God of Fighting, with his thick skin, boldly said that if Wind God wanted to dispute it, they could have a contest.

If Wind God could beat him, he would compensate him with snacks and drinks.

Though it was all in jest, this behavior did match Brother God of Fighting’s character.

Previously, since the Wind God couldn’t win, he just pretended not to see or hear anything.

Now that he could win, it was only natural to take a jab or two to get back at the lost snacks.

But Brother God of Fighting’s reaction…

In front of the Wind God, who could read hearts, he thought about beating the Wind God in the future?

They were genuinely impressed by this move.

Impressive!

“What are you talking about?”

Brother God of Fighting feigned confusion and asked, “Who would use such a method to falsely accuse someone?”

“Brother God of Wealth, please judge this. How could I possibly have such thoughts?”

“A duel?”

“The battle principles I uphold will only be applied to beings from the Arrow Realm.”

“The deep bond of battle friendship I share with everyone absolutely does not support such actions.”

“Let alone doing it!”

“I wouldn’t even think about it!”

Su Wen: “…”

What could he say about that?

Just moments ago, even with a mask on Brother God of Fighting’s face, they could tell from his actions what he was thinking.

It was so obvious—how could he spin it?

It’s not that Brother God of Wealth wasn’t supportive, it’s just that Brother God of Fighting really couldn’t handle it!
