Chapter 457: The Crimson Crystal

"Eighteen billion in wealth?"

The Star God frowned slightly. He had already learned about the source of power controlled by the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space when it had devolved into sub-timelines from his comrades.

The gap between the sub-timelines and the main Time and Space, and even the high space handling fees required for the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space to absorb and refine resources after descending into the sub-timelines, were also very clear to him.

So when he heard the figure of eighteen billion in wealth, he was shocked.

If the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space were to make this request, he would dismiss it lightly.

Although it sounds like a lot and represents significant world value, given their current power level, not to mention over a hundred billion in wealth—even trillions or quadrillions in wealth—wouldn’t be a problem.

But when it comes to the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space, it becomes a huge issue!

On the surface, it is eighteen billion, but in reality?

When accounting for those high space handling fees, is it eighteen trillion in wealth, or several hundred trillion in wealth?

"God of Wealth, I understand your desire to resurrect the God of Theater."

A hint of pain flashed in the Star God’s eyes, and then he cautiously asked, "But if the cost is truly too great, even affecting the normal development of the main Time and Space, have you considered… abandoning the thought of resurrecting the God of Theater?"

The God of Theater!

His comrade!

The mentor who brought him into the fold!

The predecessor who sheltered his growth!

Before he matured, it was the God of Theater who stood in front of him, shielding him from the malicious thoughts that came from all directions.

It is not an exaggeration to say that without the God of Theater’s contributions, he probably wouldn’t have grown to where he is today.

Without the rules and order established by the God of Theater, Mo Xiaosu’s fate might also have been what he faced.

Even though he longs for and wishes to see the God of Theater standing in front of them again, chatting casually…

His rationality, his broad perspective, and his utmost vision for the future continuously remind him that there is no value in pursuing this matter!

It does not align with the interests of the main Time and Space!

As the vanguard for the ultimate victory in exploration, the sub-timelines must not let personal emotions disrupt the progress of the main Time and Space.

The main Time and Space can assist in fostering changes in the sub-timelines.

The arrival of the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space has also affected the progress of the sub-timelines to some extent.

But ultimately, their current contributions, sacrifices, and valor are all for the final victory of the main Time and Space.

So, before the sun truly rises, they must continue to move forward in the darkness.

It is very cruel!

But there is no other way!

Not just him—Fighting God, Wind God, Shadow God—who wouldn’t wish to hear the God of Theater stand at the center of their Theater World, singing a song for them?

Who… doesn’t miss the God of Theater?

"The Star God, actually, for this journey across, the river of time has no right to charge high transaction fees for the refinement of resources!"

Su Wen noticed the Star God’s thoughts and quickly explained.

The Star God looked at Su Wen, opened his mouth, but the words just wouldn’t come out.

Four modes of crossing time and space!

He knew about them!

So, was the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space truly descending in his true self this time?

But according to the God of Wealth’s description of the current state of the river of time, would that dark river, known for its deceptive tricks, really let this chance to earn resources slip by?

Hmm… the resurrection price of a billion resources might just be another way for the river of time to charge high transaction fees!

But if that’s all it is, then it’s much simpler!

"Great God of Wealth, your situation makes it completely understandable to be cautious around the Fighting God."

The Star God shifted his tone and suddenly said, "But you still need to be more careful. Even in non-combat situations, don’t approach the Fighting God without preparing some defensive measures first."

"No way!"

"That’s still too risky!"

After saying this, the Star God’s gaze flashed, and a beam of purplish-red light shot from his forehead, instantly entering Su Wen’s mind.

"What is this?"

Feeling the extraordinary power emanating from the crimson crystal in his mind, Su Wen realized this must be the Star God’s way of protecting him.

On one hand, it was to guard against the Fighting God’s irrational actions.

On the other, it was probably to fend off the schemes of the remnants.

Of course, he wasn’t surprised that the Star God had guessed his true self.

If the Star God hadn’t figured it out, that would have been the real surprise.

After all, how could such a thing be hidden from him?

"Don’t worry, it’s just a small trick; no need to make a big deal out of it."

The Star God chuckled, casually adding, "At crucial moments, it could save your life."

He paused, then continued, "By the way, I recall your mode of crossing allows you to take things from our Time and Space, right?"

Su Wen nodded, "Yes, that’s why I asked for your help in gathering technological information."

"I believe that after my return, the technological information from all fields for the next two hundred years will significantly boost Huaxia’s technological level!"

Listening to Su Wen, the Star God seemed thoughtful.

But his thoughts weren’t on technology.

Given the current state of the celestial battlefield, even after two hundred years of development, space-age technology would hardly be of any help in battles at the level of a true god.

"The crystal I left in your mind, check it out when you can. If you can bring it back, that would be ideal."

"This crystal, it won’t cause you much harm, will it?"

Su Wen raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked.

This scene felt familiar.

Previously, in the sub-timelines, when the Fighting God made a sacrifice to gain the Fighting God’s power, the Star God had done something similar.

But back then, it was the fragment of the soul that communicated it through writing.

So, he only had a vague memory of some details.

The main reason he asked was because of the Star God’s emphasis.

Generally, considering the current forces, even if the Star God provided a defensive measure comparable to a true god, it would just be mentioned in passing without special emphasis.

"It won’t."

The Star God smiled, "If I were still an immortal half-god, it would indeed have a significant impact on me."

"But I’m a true god now!"

"The essence of the Star God has fused with me, and I’ve mastered it perfectly."

"I can create several more of these crystals with just a wave of my hand."

Su Wen’s expression didn’t change as he directly said, "Alright, then create a few more for me to see."

The Star God: "……"

The next moment, the Star God couldn’t help but laugh.

With a thought, countless purplish-red crystals floated around him.

A rough estimate would be at least thousands.

"What do you think?"

The Star God stretched out his right hand, saying nonchalantly, "I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

"Besides, what’s there to gain by lying about this?"

"Hmm… Great God of Wealth, be honest, as the one who decides the rise and fall of various sub-timelines, isn’t your pressure immense?"

"Otherwise, why would you be imagining such wild scenarios?"
