Chapter 39: The Precise Cooperation of Eighteen Races

【An illusory figure slowly rises from the gravestone, and then a refined-looking young man appears before you.】

【The young man looks at you and smiles slightly. Then, with a wave of his right hand, your body uncontrollably flies in front of him.】

【Oh, timid as a mouse, the God of Wealth! A ghostly figure appears before you and begins to observe you with great interest. You are certain in your heart that you do not recognize this handsome young ghost.】

【After a moment, the young man suddenly beams with a brilliant smile and happily expresses how much he has missed you.】

【God of Wealth, it has been a long time. I didn’t expect you to be the one to awaken me. It seems your powers have a unique realm, allowing you to return even after death.】

【You stand there stunned, listening to his words, and then cautiously ask if he is Fighting God.】

【The refined young man bursts into laughter. Hearing that familiar hearty laugh makes your mouth twitch. You thought that under Fighting God’s mask was a rugged strongman, but it turns out he is a refined youth.】

Su Wen raises his eyebrows, thinking, “A refined youth?”

As he contemplates, he can’t help but glance back and forth at Fighting God.

“What’s wrong, Brother God of Wealth?”

Fighting God, full of excitement and beaming, suddenly asks.

Why is he now inspecting himself?

“Nothing,” Su Wen replies with a smile. “Please continue.”

Whether in appearance or in tone, Fighting God embodies the image of a rough man.

Yet his true form is that of a refined youth?

A handsome young man?

Though he doesn’t know exactly what Fighting God looks like, this evaluation from the “future self” says it all.

“It was extremely thrilling at that time. I tell you, if I hadn’t reacted quickly and changed the situation with my words…”

Fighting God grins and continues talking.

Meanwhile, Su Wen listens to Fighting God chat in reality while also conversing with “Fighting God” in the future timeline.

【Oh, mediocre God of Wealth! After confirming Fighting God’s true identity, you begin to converse with him carefully.】

【Even though he is dead and only a trace of his consciousness remains, Fighting God still lives up to his name, filling your ears with a lot of pointless chatter.】

【With time pressing, you forcibly interrupt Fighting God, asking him about the cause of your death, that is, the God of Wealth’s death.】

【Fighting God’s trace of consciousness looks taken aback for a moment, and then his gaze turns gradually cold.】

【From the past timeline, God of Wealth! Some of your words raise doubts in Fighting God’s consciousness, and now you must make a choice.】

【1. Tell Fighting God that you come from the past timeline and are currently chatting with the past version of Fighting God within the organization.】

【2. Conceal the true situation from Fighting God.】

【3. Fabricate a story.】

Su Wen sees these three options and directly chooses to inform Fighting God of the situation.

The future timeline can be changed.

As the present timeline changes, any traces of your crossing in the future timeline will be erased.

So, whether Fighting God knows the truth or not doesn’t matter anymore.

In the worst-case scenario, Fighting God might be a spy within the organization, and both his death and this trace of consciousness could be part of a setup.

Maybe it was a trap meant for someone else, but you ended up stepping into it.

But that’s okay!

You can spend some of your wealth to forcibly recall him!

If spending a bit more wealth confirms that the Fighting God standing before you is a traitor, then you think it’s a worthwhile deal!

In short, you need to be cautious in the present timeline.

But in the future timeline, you need to be bold. If you’re not bold, how will you gather useful information?

【You explain your talent ability to Fighting God’s trace of consciousness, which uses wealth to disrupt time and space.】

【After learning about your ability, Fighting God’s trace falls silent. After a moment, he bursts into mad laughter, causing the trace to tremble.】

【Oh, the God of Wealth who plays with time and space! You watch the madness of your future timeline ally, and in that crazy laughter, tears of thought roll down his face, making your heart ache slightly.】

【Oh, comrades! What have you all been through?】

【After the laughter, Fighting God’s trace suddenly calms down, but white steam keeps rising above his head, revealing his unsettled inner emotions.】

【Through Fighting God’s narration, you understand the cause of your death.】

【God of Wealth, on August 13, 2023, you died during the Arrow Realm disturbance No. 02 in the Imperial Capital, slain by the Ghost King with a single blow.】

【On April 18, 2023, during the Arrow Realm disturbance No. 05, the Star God went to suppress it.】

【On May 2, 2023, during the Arrow Realm turmoil No. 07, Fighting God went to suppress it.】

【On June 12, 2023, the Star God returned. The next day, during the Arrow Realm disturbance No. 01 in the Imperial Capital, the Arrow Realm gates manifested at the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, and the God of Theater and the Star God went to suppress it.】

【On July 15, 2023, during the Arrow Realm disturbance No. 08 in Magic City, the Arrow Realm gates manifested, and the Wind God went to suppress it.】

【On August 10, 2023, during the Arrow Realm disturbance No. 09 in Magic City, the evil spirit bug swarm attempted to break through the Arrow Realm gates. In a severe crisis, the Star God quickly returned and mobilized the Starry Array to counter the evil spirit bug swarm.】

【And on the 13th, during the Arrow Realm disturbance No. 02 in the Imperial Capital, the Ghost Face Clan appeared near the organization, and the God of Wealth was killed.】

【Fighting God’s trace recounts the events before and after the God of Wealth’s death. Before you can speak, he bluntly states that it all seems like a setup, a plot to kill the God of Wealth.】

【Afterwards, they calculated and discussed the God of Wealth’s scheme, discovering that at least eighteen races were intricately cooperating just to slay him!】

【In future years, the Star God expressed his regret to him more than once. If he hadn’t mobilized the Starry Array to strike the evil spirit bug swarm, the Ghost Face Clan would have been locked by the Starry Array the moment they appeared.】

【Fighting God relates his past experiences with a sigh, and you listen with your heart racing.】

【Oh, bewildered God of Wealth! It is at this moment you realize the lethal determination of the beings from the mystical realm against you; if you don’t die, they will be restless.】

Su Wen: “……”

Eighteen races united to slay me?

They really want to kill me, don’t they?

Is the God of Wealth that hated?

Moreover, looking at this plot, one Arrow Realm disturbance after another, all your comrades were lured away.

Most importantly, the beings from the mystical realm seem to know the human side’s plans too well, don’t they?

After leading all fate bearers with the character "God" away, they also know about the Starry Array?

They even specifically sent the evil spirit bug swarm to restrain the Starry Array’s power?

Star God, God of Theater, Fighting God, Wind God…

Within the organization, other than yourself, there are only four fate bearers with the character "God."

Well, that’s complete!

Hmm… This time, is my death unrelated to the Wind God?

If I had appeared on the alien’s assassination list at a certain time point, it would be quite normal for me to be targeted during the exploration of the Arrow Realm, right?

The key question is, why did the Wind God behave that way during the last crossing of time and space?

Not asking any questions, directly slaying Li Dong?

Even imprisoning me, looking like he wanted to take me back and confine me?
