Chapter 437: The Malevolent Guest with Dark Powers

“Of course,” Su Wen nodded. If he didn’t want the Star Spirit to know, he wouldn’t have brought it up in front of her.

Besides, could he really be sure the Star God didn’t already know about this?

After all, the main Time and Space is a past timeline compared to the current sub-timeline.

His curiosity had led him to ask about Yuan Bao and Luobao, but whatever was supposed to happen had likely already happened.

The Star Spirit, however, seemed to think this was crucial information, insisting on recording it to notify the Star God. But maybe that was just because she didn’t know the full picture herself.

Would his sub-timeline self really hide something so important?

“God of Wealth, I can’t agree with Luobao’s take on this,” Yuan Bao said, puffing out his chest and pulling in his little belly and double chin. He spoke seriously, “I don’t think the river of time is that calculating.

You know as well as I do that the river of time flows through all of chaos, connecting countless universes.

A petty conflict between two universes? That’s nothing to the river of time.”

Luobao, standing nearby, let out a soft snort and cut in, “Oh? So what’s your brilliant idea then? Let’s hear it.”

Yuan Bao paused, falling silent for a moment before replying, “I’m just saying I don’t agree with you. That doesn’t mean I have to have my own theory.”

“So, in other words, you’ve got nothing?”

“Exactly.”

“If you’ve got nothing, or if the river of time hasn’t whispered any secrets to you, then maybe you should just stay quiet!”

“Oh, so you’re saying the River of Fate *has* whispered something to you?”

“……”

Su Wen watched the two bicker, raising his hand as a soft, cushioned chair materialized in the air.

“Star Spirit, let’s sit and enjoy the show.”

“Oh, and make sure to record their argument. When the Star God has some free time later, you can send it all to him.

Who knows? The way they’re going at it, there might be something useful in there.

With the Star God’s intelligence, he might pick up on something we’d miss.

Even if there’s only a one in a billion chance of finding something valuable, it’s worth a shot.”

The Star Spirit nodded obediently, standing by his side.

Yuan Bao, noticing Su Wen’s attention, seemed to double down, arguing even more fiercely with Luobao.

“Dear God of Wealth, the river of time has sensed your desire to revive your loved ones and comrades, and it has come to you for this very reason.

But you must understand—traveling through sub-timelines with your true self means every move you make, every breath you take, and every word you speak will ripple through the future of this timeline.

And pulling a powerful being, one on the verge of becoming a true god, from the depths of death? That’s no small matter.

When a Demigod falls, the very fabric of the universe trembles, resonating with the heavens and earth. It’s called the weeping phenomenon, for it sounds like the world itself is mourning.

But when a Demigod, one who has broken through the Nine Limits and stands at the threshold of becoming a true god, falls? That’s a cataclysmic event for the entire universe.”

"The True God Falls, the Sky Cracks and the Earth Quakes!"

"As a powerful being who stands equal to a true god and has broken through the Nine Limits, the impact of such a fall is no less than that of a true god descending to the mortal realm."

"The river of time does not speak of unnecessary things, and I believe the Great God of Wealth understands the situation."

"In summary, the order of time and space must not be disturbed!"

"And maintaining the stability of the order of time and space is the very reason for the existence and value of the river of time."

"However, if you truly wish to revive your loved ones and friends, that extremely powerful God of Theater will require a price different from before."

"I hope you understand, as this time you are traveling through time and space with your true self."

"The impact caused by your true self coming to the future timeline is far more serious than all previous methods combined."

"The river of time does not keep secrets; it also offers a favorable price for the esteemed Great God of Wealth!"

"Final offer!"

"One hundred eighty-eight billion!"

"With one hundred eighty-eight billion, you won’t suffer any loss or be deceived."

"All you need is to simply nod in agreement, and the river of time will use its endless power to pull your loved ones and friends from the abyss of death."

Su Wen: "……"

One hundred eighty-eight billion in wealth?

Damn!

This Silent River really dares to ask for that!

With such a vast amount of wealth, did the Ink River figure out the potential income he would gain from traveling through the sub-timelines to come up with this price?

Or does it imply that even if he collects a large amount of wealth with the help of many comrades, the Capital River has numerous means and functions to ensure that he keeps this wealth in the sub-timeline?

"Dear Great God of Wealth who can hold the sun and moon and mountains and rivers in your heart! There is no need to panic or hesitate."

"If you believe in the river of time, then please take a look at the celestial battlefield!"

"There, valuable items and tools are everywhere."

"I believe your gains there will greatly broaden your horizons as the Great God of Wealth, keeping you from being overly concerned about a mere one hundred eighty-eight billion wealth and causing the river of time to feel slighted."

"But the river of time is the river of time; unlike the River of Fate, this river speaks reason."

"Knowing you are making judgments without a clear understanding of the current situation, the river of time can comfort your feelings to express its understanding."

"Lastly, a Friendly Reminder: a wave of evil power, accompanied by the aura of a malevolent guest, has entered the sub-timelines opened by the river of time without permission."

"If you encounter this malevolent guest carrying evil powers in the future, please promptly notify the fair and just river of time."

"The river of time will surely come with rolling thunder, exerting a judgment power that reaches from heaven to earth, driving out that evil force and the inappropriate guest."

"It absolutely will not cause you any inconvenience!"

"However, if due to your own greed for small gains, you reach an agreement with that malevolent guest in the mysterious realm, then when problems arise later, the mighty river of time will claim to be powerless."

"The river of time has said everything it needed to say."

"It only hopes that during your adventure in the sub-timelines, while considering the matters you deem important, you also pay attention to the abnormalities and changes nearby."

"Let’s hope we can cooperate happily this time!"

Upon reading this, Su Wen couldn’t help but smile.

"Evil power? Malevolent guest? And the words from the river of time are quite intriguing."

Although the River of Fate was not mentioned after the Friendly Reminder, it seemed every sentence was hinting at the River of Fate.

Is the River of Fate feeling so bold this time?

Did it sneak in?

Could it be that the river of time still hasn’t detected the traces of the River of Fate’s power?

Hmm… Did the River of Fate realize that the business he brought this time would be substantial, and that’s why it couldn’t wait to enter here?
