Chapter 474

“They are…?”
Su Wen turned to the group and asked softly.
Upon seeing these individuals, he already had an answer in his heart.
But just to be safe, he needed to ask.
After all, his true self was currently only at the king level first transformation; everyone seemed very strong to him.
Could he really tell the difference between the aura of a Demigod and that of a true god?
They both felt overwhelmingly powerful!
So he needed to wait for the Star God to give him the answer.
Fortunately, martial arts in this Time and Space had developed remarkably well.
When he returned this time, he would soar straight to the Emperor Level!
Hmm… It seemed the Fighting God was still at king level, right?
While his true self experienced the sub-timelines, time in the main Time and Space flowed a bit faster, but not by much.
So, most likely, he could surpass the Fighting God by a whole realm!
Come on!
If he worked hard, he could aim to exceed the Fighting God by two great realms in martial arts!
Only then could they make the Fighting God happily act like a big, silly fool every day.
If the Fighting God was foolish, they’d be happy.
“Subordinates of the Fighting God of the First Age.”
The Star God gave a brief introduction, then stepped aside.
“Are you all that’s left under the Battle Master?”
Su Wen looked at them and asked.
A group of ten or so?
Well, ten or so true god strong beings were better than having none at all!
Of course, just in case, he was always ready to return at a moment’s notice.
If anything unexpected happened, he’d immediately activate the protective measures given by the Star God and return in an instant.
The Battle Master was trustworthy!
But he wasn’t so sure about the Battle Master’s subordinates from the First Age.
“Battle Master…”
A spark of brilliance flashed in Rui’s eyes as she spoke with certainty, “So you’ve met the Great God, right?”
Though the current Great God of the Ninth Age didn’t make the most formal entrance,
She never expected that this young man, rummaging through the storage, bent over and digging around for all sorts of things, would turn out to be a dignified Great God.
It felt a bit out of place for someone of the Great God’s stature.
But it didn’t matter; as long as the other person could provide the answers she sought, even if they were dressed in rags, to her, their attire would be of breathtaking beauty.
“I have met him.”
Su Wen nodded and said, “But not in the way you might imagine. I met with a fragment of the Battle Master’s consciousness.”
As he spoke, Su Wen flicked his right hand, and the Fighting God’s banner appeared in his grasp.
“This banner was also a gift from the Battle Master.
He told me that in times of need, I could tap into the power he left behind.”
Everyone gazed at the banner floating in Su Wen’s hand, their eyes flickering.
In the next moment, they all knelt down on one knee!
“We, your subordinates, heed the Great God’s command!”
After a while, everyone rose.
“The Great God still hasn’t returned…”
Rui stared at the banner for a moment, her tone soft and wistful.
At the same time, her vibrant presence seemed to gradually become more ethereal.
“Actually, I might meet the Battle Master again in the future.”
Su Wen suddenly said, “If you have anything you want to tell the Battle Master, I can pass it on for you.”
At this, everyone froze in place.
“I!”
Rui’s presence stabilized instantly, and she said eagerly, “Let me go first!”
“My name is Rui. If you encounter the Great God again, please tell him how much I miss him.”
“He promised that once the remnants were subdued, he would marry us.”
“We were to have a legendary wedding that would capture the world’s attention, celebrated for generations!”
“But why did he suddenly vanish?”
“As for the others… if he can return, whether we have the wedding or not, I can let go of that promise.”
“I just want him to come back!”
“…”
As she spoke, Rui’s emotional fluctuations grew intense.
But thankfully, she still had her wits about her, knowing that the mysterious young Great God before her had limited power and couldn’t withstand even the slightest fluctuation of her presence.
So she struggled to restrain herself, careful not to let even a trace of her aura escape.
Opposite her, Su Wen felt a bit bewildered.
Wait!
If he heard correctly, the celestial officer Rui was talking about him, right?
We still have each other!
This means that the Battle Master’s marital promise wasn’t just for one woman, but for many!
So, the Fighting God’s romantic history sold in the river of time, along with all those other mixed-up stories, might actually… be true?
Alright, the Ink River might be a bit shady, but the information it sells is usually pretty accurate.
So, here’s the question: is the person standing across from me the Battle Master’s close friend?
“Disciple Wealth God, paying respects to the Master Lady!”
After Rui finished speaking, Su Wen cupped his hands and said directly, “I’m grateful for the Battle Master’s care and guidance in combat.”
“And given the relationship between the Master Lady and the Battle Master, I should show respect as a junior.”
“But considering the fortune of the true god present, please forgive me, Master Lady, as I can’t perform the full greeting.”
Rui was momentarily surprised, then smiled warmly and said, “No need for that, child! You’re being too polite.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a white pill-like object appeared in Rui’s hand.
“Child, it’s been so long, I don’t have much to give you.”
“This sword pill has been with me for many years.”
“After my refining, it’s gained quite a bit of attack power.”
“Especially when it unleashes its first strike after being unsealed—if used correctly, it can even slay a god king!”
Hearing this, Su Wen’s eyes widened.
A god king!
Is that a realm above the true god?
Calling her Master Lady was definitely worth it!
No wonder she’s the Battle Master’s close friend!
Such combat power and generosity are truly impressive!
Of course, the Fighting God is unmatched in combat, overflowing with martial virtue—how could anyone but an extraordinary woman be his confidante?
And the fact that Master Lady has lived this long only proves her incredible strength!
“Thank you, Master Lady!”
After taking the sword pill, Su Wen smiled brightly and said, “Don’t worry, Master Lady. The next time I see the Battle Master, I’ll make sure to convey your thoughts accurately!”
Rui nodded with a smile, then with a flick of her right hand, the methods for using the sword pill, the unsealing techniques, and some activation methods along with accompanying divine powers were transmitted into Su Wen’s mind.
“Greetings, Great God!”
The swordsman bowed and said, “My name is Zhan, and I’m one of His Highness’s guardians.”
“I’ve been by His Highness’s side since before He awoke, accompanying Him as He grew.”
“If you see Him next time, could you ask if He’s doing well over there?”
“If He is, could you find a way for Him to return?”
“Or could you spare a moment to send a message back, just so we know He’s still there?”
“That would put our minds at ease.”
At that moment, Rui’s voice suddenly echoed in Su Wen’s mind.
“Child, Uncle Zhan watched Dou grow up. He was chosen as his guardian by Dou’s father.”
“But to Dou, Uncle Zhan isn’t just a guardian.”
“He’s more like an elder who raised him and gave him the love of a father!”
“So!”
“Don’t hesitate—go and call him Master!”
