Chapter 16: The Brave God of Wealth
[You found the article "Reflections on the Relationship Between Energy Theory and Foundational Body Refinement Technique" and began reading…]
[You found the article "Human Ideological Movements from the Perspective of Martial Arts" and began reading…]
“……”
[Just as you were reading the article "Paths and Thoughts on the Fusion of Energy and Spirit," a gentle breeze blew by, and a young man appeared next to you, smiling at you.]
[Li Dong stared at the young man in surprise, then quickly saluted him, calling him Lord Wind God.]
[Oh, God of Wealth from the past timeline! This is your first encounter with a fate bearer in the future timeline after so many visits, especially one who shares the name of a deity like you do.]
[Just as the Star God can become the president of the Mount Sea Battlefield, this Wind God in front of you also possesses impressive combat power and an extraordinary status.]
[As they say, seeing someone from your hometown brings tears to your eyes, but you can’t help wondering if this Wind God will believe you are indeed the true God of Wealth and offer you protection, allowing you to live well in this future timeline for a while.]
[After examining you for a moment, the Wind God suddenly displayed a friendly smile and extended his right hand to you.]
[Fortunate God of Wealth! It seems your future comrade has recognized you and shown you goodwill. Perhaps you could share your true situation with him in hopes of earning his trust.]
Su Wen’s eyes lit up at this.
Though he didn’t know the Wind God well, as a fate bearer with the character "God," they should have some connection.
It’s possible that the Wind God knows about him and understands his future potential.
Moreover, the news of the God of Wealth’s Return brought the Wind God rushing to him first.
And now he was extending goodwill, clearly this was a substantial connection to lean on!
If he could hold onto this, it might lengthen his Time and Space Journey in this timeline, yielding significant rewards compared to his previous trips.
First, he would remember the revolutionary martial arts articles, then if he had time, he would gather information about the major events that would unfold in the future.
If he guessed correctly, the national-level medal mentioned in his character introduction should be compensation for the shattered Arrow Realm news.
As for why such matters were not noted?
It might be that the martial arts library only marks things related to martial arts, or perhaps this issue is a bit sensitive.
The latter possibility seems greater.
[Li Dong looked at the Wind God talking to you, his face filled with disbelief. Could it be true that you are the God of Wealth, the Pioneer of Martial Arts, the Creator of Martial Arts Su Wen?]
[Just moments ago, he had almost acted against his idol; how disrespectful that would have been.]
[At this moment, your previous inability to understand Bagua Zhang seemed justified, as Li Dong had already found a good reason for you—being trapped in the Arrow Realm for ten years surely meant you needed to carefully understand the development of martial arts.]
[Checking out the innovations in Foundational Body Refinement Technique, martial skills, and theories, even understanding related articles, could perfectly demonstrate your noble spirit as a martial arts pioneer, couldn’t it?]
[As you reminisced with the Wind God, you were unaware of Li Dong’s thoughts.]
[However, as the Wind God spoke to you about how the Star God missed you, he suddenly made some strange sounds.]
[You had never heard such sounds before and couldn’t comprehend the Wind God’s action, but your cautious nature sensed the probing intent behind it. If you couldn’t satisfy him, you might face a life-or-death crisis.]
[Oh, unfortunate God of Wealth! You couldn’t respond to the strange sound from before, and an unsettling thought involuntarily crept into your mind: the Wind God sitting in front of you couldn’t possibly be a traitor, could he?]
[Despite your reaction, the Wind God maintained a warm smile, as if your lack of response was the right choice.]
[He then mentioned that the Star God really missed you, and if he knew you were back, he would surely be very happy.]
[Seizing this opportunity, you expressed your desire to meet the Star God.]
[You leaped into the river of time, shielded by the power of Wealth Source, to arrive in the future. While transporting the flowers of martial arts back to the past, your primary concern was the Star God’s stance.]
[The Wind God nodded slightly after hearing you, showing understanding. Having been trapped in the Arrow Realm for so long, it was indeed time to see the Star God upon your return.]
[After speaking, the Wind God made some odd sounds again.]
[Noticing your lack of response twice, the Wind God shook his head slightly and glanced at Li Dong.]
[You sat on the second floor of the martial arts library, witnessing Li Dong’s explosive death firsthand.]
[Oh, unlucky God of Wealth! It seems your responses displeased the Wind God, and the gravity of the situation made you realize that if you stayed silent, Li Dong’s fate might be yours!]
[But deep down, you knew that if the Wind God was a traitor and discovered your ability to cross time and space, you could be imprisoned, unable even to end your own life.]
[Thus, you were faced with two choices.]
[One: confess honestly to the Wind God and take a gamble.
Two: stand up with a sneer, flip the table into the Wind God’s face, proving your bravery with blood and life.]
Su Wen: “……”
It felt less like two choices and more like only one.
How could he possibly confess to the Wind God, who might be a traitor?
If his relationship with the Wind God was truly strong, perhaps there would have been hints in their casual conversations.
So, he chose to face death instead!
[Oh, brave God of Wealth! You made a wise choice; you stood up and flipped the table, even spitting in the Wind God’s face to provoke him.]
[The Wind God stood up expressionlessly, wiped the spit from his face with a piece of paper, and just stared at you, not making a move.]
[You looked at his expression, feeling a bit horrified. Despite your insult, he didn’t retaliate? Indeed, a traitor has strong mental resilience, making him fit for great responsibilities!]
[Without hesitation, you aimed your head at the floor, intending to commit suicide and return to the past timeline.]
[But you made a mistake; you were no longer an ordinary person. The building materials of the martial arts library, though sturdy, were no match for your head.]
[In your astonished expression, you created a large hole in the martial arts library with your head.]
[The Wind God grinned strangely, then waved his right hand, summoning the surrounding wind to bind you, leaving you unable to move.]
[In this moment, you realized that he did not intend to kill you. Instead, he planned to take you away and imprison you. But you could not allow him to confine you in this timeline.]
[You began to think of ways to die…]
[Beep, would you like to spend the corresponding Wealth Source to disrupt time and space and initiate a Forced Recall?]
