    Chapter 436: Let’s Talk in Detail

    “Understood, Great God!”

    The Star Spirit bowed once again and then shifted its gaze toward Bai Zijun’s position.

    At the same time, the control core of the Starry Array began to readjust its computational power.

    Under the Star Spirit’s command, a tiny fraction of computational power connected to Bai Zijun’s personal smart brain.

    Obey the command of the Great God of Wealth!

    Protect Bai Zijun!

    From now on, unless it concerns Bai Zijun’s life or health, the Starry Array will not interfere with Bai Zijun in any way.

    “God of Theater…”

    Su Wen gazed at the God of Theater’s tombstone, whispering gently.

    This time, it was a true self crossing!

    Therefore, the river of time would not charge any fees; the wealth he absorbed would be the same as what he absorbed from the main Time and Space.

    Viewed this way, it should be possible for him to harness the river of time to resurrect the God of Theater, all while gaining an immense source of wealth!

    With the God of Theater resurrected, the traitors from the God of Theater Legion would surely become anxious.

    This would reveal more of their weaknesses.

    In fact, they might also glimpse the true nature of the battlefield through this key factor.

    What was the situation with the territories guarded by the strong legions left by the first eight ages’ eight true gods?

    The Fighting God’s legion was the most ardent!

    They listened most closely to the Fighting God!

    So, could he establish contact with the Fighting God’s legion, or after communicating with the Battle Masters, could he temporarily borrow the power of the Fighting God’s aura?

    If so, things would become much easier!

    And there was also the Star Army!

    The Star God of the Eighth Era believed there was no issue with the celestial beings of the Eighth Era, in contrast to Jiu Ying’s opinion.

    Perhaps this view would greatly impact the Star Army as well.

    “Yuan Bao, I just remembered that sub-timelines… aren’t they opened up by the river of time?”

    Su Wen furrowed his brows and suddenly asked, “Then why does the river of time desire the wealth I absorb and refine in the sub-timelines so much?”

    “And the River of Fate—why do these two rivers, which traverse chaos and transcend the will of the cosmos, have such an obsession with wealth?”

    Yuan Bao was momentarily taken aback and then said, “God of Wealth, I’m not entirely sure, but perhaps… your ability to refine wealth as the true god of the Ninth Age is indeed unique?”

    Su Wen shook his head and said, “The idea of being a converter crossed my mind before, but it doesn’t align with reality.”

    “Ultimately, the river of time and the River of Fate transcend the cosmos, while I am merely the true god of the Ninth Age chosen by the will of the cosmos.”

    “Hmm… I don’t think there’s anything the river of time cannot accomplish that I can do easily.”

    “Surely, there must be some hidden secrets behind this.”

    “The most important thing is, isn’t the river of time’s attitude towards you and me a bit too fawning?”

    “You’re just a Divine Artifact of mine, the God of Wealth, but the way you talk makes it seem like you’re on the same level as the river of time.”

    “If we go by that logic, do Divine Artifacts and the river of time belong to the same tier? What about me?”

    “Am I, the God of Wealth, somehow above the river of time?”

    “That doesn’t seem quite right, does it?”

    Yuan Bao scratched his head and said, “God of Wealth, there are some things I’m not clear about either, and I doubt I’d get much out of the river of time.”

    “But we all know the river of time’s basic rule: as long as there’s enough wealth, it’ll stand firmly by your side!”

    “No matter how high the river of time’s status is or what your identity as the God of Wealth means, the truth is, we’re not yet at the level to engage in that kind of game.”

    “One day, when we reach that height, maybe it’ll all make sense naturally.”

    Luobao, sitting on Su Wen’s right shoulder, listened to Yuan Bao, her left eyebrow slightly raised.

    “God of Wealth, I once studied theories about the clashes and devouring between universes in the learning house built by the River of Fate.”

    Hearing this, Su Wen’s eyes lit up, his interest piqued.

    That’s right!

    Luobao had professional training!

    And since the River of Fate didn’t want the river of time to profit, maybe he could use that to his advantage.

    “Go on, tell me more.”

    “Of course, God of Wealth.”

    Luobao straightened up and explained, “Generally, when a universe wants to extend its life and avoid destruction from aging, it must attack and devour a universe full of vibrant Life Force.”

    “Take this universe, where you, the God of Wealth, reside. It has failed eight times; this is the Ninth Age!”

    “Through eight consecutive wars, the newborn universe is forced into its ninth nirvana early, allowing for true devouring and merging!”

    Here, Luobao paused, then added, “Let me put it another way to help you understand better, God of Wealth.”

    “This universe has failed eight times, while the Remnant Universe has succeeded eight times. This means that, whether willingly or not, both universes have gone through eight integrations.”

    “At this point, their relationship has likely reached a stage where they’re intertwined—each containing a part of the other.”

    “Right now, the grand wills of both universes might be clashing fiercely, with top powerful beings fighting to the death, backed by the will of their respective universes.”

    “Before the final battle arrives, all this fighting is just preparation for that ultimate clash.”

    “The Ninth Age, the ninth and final battle!”

    “If this universe can turn the tide and win, it will devour the Remnant Universe, gaining more space to grow and unleashing greater potential.”

    “The same goes for the Remnant Universe!”

    “…”

    Luobao then launched into a highly technical explanation of the theories behind universe clashes and mergers.

    There were so many terms Su Wen didn’t understand.

    But he got the gist of it.

    The two universes were merging, their Origins intertwining.

    So, the wealth he refined contained the Origin of the Universe, right?

    Or maybe even more than one universe’s Origin?

    In other words, during the collision and merging of the two universes’ Origins, could a special material emerge—one that both the river of time and the River of Fate needed?

    And as the true god of this final age, could he manifest that material?

    Was that why the river of time went to such lengths, even lowering itself, to flatter him and try to get wealth from him?

    And did the River of Fate, out of its deep-seated hatred for the river of time, refuse to let it profit?

    Was that what Luobao was getting at?

    “Great God of Wealth, may I record what just happened?”

    At that moment, the Star Spirit spoke up seriously, “It seems the Star God doesn’t know much about the affairs of the river of time and the River of Fate.”

    “So, may I document this and inform the Star God about it in the future?”
