Chapter 38: My Closest Friends
“On the battlefield, as allies and comrades, I naturally trust them with my back!”
Fighting God’s gaze grew serious as he said, “Maybe the allies you’re talking about are from foreign races, but since we’re standing shoulder to shoulder, I’ll believe in them!”
“After all, on such a massive battlefield, if you don’t trust your allies, your comrades, who else can you trust?”
He paused for a moment, then added, “Of course, if I don’t trust someone, I wouldn’t make them my ally in the first place.”
“Handing your back to someone you can’t trust is a risk to everyone on the battlefield!”
“And God of Wealth, the foreign races you’re referring to—they’re beings from the mystical realm, right?”
“While most beings from the Arrow Realm are hostile toward fate bearers, nothing’s absolute. Some of them are actually friendly toward us.”
“During my Arrow Realm exploration, I even befriended some beings from there, and sometimes I go out of my way to share drinks with them.”
“In some battles, those friends have genuinely helped me out.”
“Hmm… I don’t really agree with the saying, ‘If they’re not of my clan, their hearts must be different.’ At the end of the day, you can’t look at everything in black and white. Every idea needs balance.”
“Once you go past that balance, it becomes a disaster—for yourself and for others. You get what I’m saying, right?”
Su Wen thought for a moment and asked, “So where do these non-clan friends of yours come from?”
From a logical standpoint, what Fighting God said was hard to argue with.
But the real issue was this: in the future, Fighting God would be betrayed by his foreign race allies and meet his end!
That was the truth!
When the truth stares you in the face, all that talk about balance and moderation loses its meaning.
If they’re not of my clan, their hearts must be different!
Maybe the ancient wisdom passed down by our ancestors was right after all!
“Because I love making friends!”
Fighting God grinned. “So I’ve got friends from all sorts of clans. I won’t bore you with the casual ones.”
“I’ve got a few really close ones. In fact, some factions from the Rule Arrow Realm even established ties with us because of me.”
“The closest of them all are Feisi from the Velier clan and Lanxin from the Huahuaz clan.”
“The three of us clicked right away—we even became sworn brothers. I visit their clans all the time.”
“The Velier clan’s bold and straightforward, while the Huahuaz clan’s more detail-oriented and loves romance. Both of them adore nature and value peace. If there’s a chance, I’ll take you to meet them.”
“These two—they’re my dearest friends!”
Su Wen: “…”
Case closed!
The Velier clan!
The Huahuaz clan!
The two clans that would betray us during the future Eastern Sea Defense War were also Fighting God’s friends.
They’d even become sworn brothers…
How should I put this?
He just met Fighting God today, right?
Those three are so close that they even became sworn brothers and often visit each other for meals. Is it really appropriate for him to say such things?
“Brother Fighting God, let me first make it clear that I’m not trying to stir trouble between your friends.”
Su Wen cleared his throat and said, “But I feel that…”
Fighting God raised his hand, cutting Su Wen off mid-sentence.
“You’re saying there’s an issue between the Velier clan and the Huahuaz clan, and I should be careful, right?”
“Exactly.”
“Brother God of Wealth, don’t worry. I’m not that naive. I’m open with my friends, but when it comes to matters involving nations and clans, I’m very cautious.”
“…”
Oh, so cautious, yet your close brothers stab you in the back?
One betrayal is bad enough, but both brothers?
Is this how cautious you are?
For a moment, Su Wen’s mind was flooded with sarcastic thoughts.
“Alright, alright.”
Fighting God patted Su Wen’s shoulder and said, “But since you’ve brought it up, I’ll be more careful in the future.”
“I figure you wouldn’t say this without a reason, right?”
That tone, that sudden pause mid-sentence—he knew it all too well.
The Star God wields the power of the stars and can use them to divine certain things.
Sometimes, while talking to the Star God, his tone would grow strange, veering off into unrelated topics.
Later, it turned out the Star God was hinting at something in his own way.
So, he gets it now!
It seems this God of Wealth also has abilities tied to divination, time, and fate!
Tsk!
The God of Theater, mastering the essence of drama, can glimpse the future—that makes sense.
The Star God, controlling the origin of stars, uses star power to foresee the future—that’s logical too.
But the God of Wealth… you handle money, and you can see the future? Doesn’t that seem a bit off?
The Wind God can directly sense goodwill, malice, sincerity, and lies.
In other words, within the organization, he’s only good at fighting and can’t do much else.
“Hahaha…”
Su Wen laughed awkwardly and said, “Aren’t we just shooting the breeze? I was just sharing my thoughts!”
Fighting God nodded and said, “Right, I get it.”
Yeah, sure!
That forced change of topic, with a touch of awkwardness, was just like the Star God at the start.
No doubt about it!
The Star God’s interest in the God of Wealth has a deeper meaning!
【As the God of Wealth, pondering the fickleness of human hearts, you glance around the Tomb of the Fighting God and can’t help but notice the gravestone trembling slightly.】
【After confirming you’re not imagining it, you take in the eerie atmosphere and a terrifying thought strikes you.】
【Could Fighting God have risen from the dead?】
【Then you remember—in the Eastern Sea Defense War, didn’t Fighting God burn everything to hold off the enemy? Normally, there’d be no ashes left, and even if there were, his soul would have long since scattered!】
【The more you think about it, the more frightened you become. If Fighting God’s soul has returned, you might still be able to talk to him. But if it’s not him… what then?】
【The bewildered God of Wealth watches as the gravestone shakes faster and more violently, the strange sounds around you growing louder, making your heart race.】
【In this desolate place, could there really be wandering spirits?】
【You start to turn and run, but as you do, your body lifts off the ground, suspended in mid-air.】
【You feel a chilling presence behind you and struggle to turn your head. If you’re going to die, you want to see who’s killing you—and maybe take revenge in the past!】
【The God of Wealth, crossing time and space, finally grasps the rough workings of the time-space path after countless explorations, realizing that eliminating future enemies in the past is a far more refined technique.】
