Chapter 40: The Abandoned Sub-timelines
"Hey, big guy, what’s up with you?"
Fighting God waved his hand in front of Su Wen, saying, "You seem a bit out of it. Are you sleepy?"
Su Wen shook his head, "Not really, just feeling a bit reflective. The world is so complicated, isn’t it?"
Fighting God: "???"
Wasn’t he just talking about his experience at the Huahuaz clan’s sacred feast?
He couldn’t quite capture the poetic essence in words, but he didn’t describe it as complicated, did he?
Suddenly, a thought struck Fighting God.
Holy moly!
Brother God of Wealth, did you divine something again?
Is the feast at the Huahuaz clan not something to be eaten casually?
Is there poison in it?
Or some kind of curse?
Hmm… Maybe he should get the God of Theater to check him out sometime.
"Hahahaha!"
Fighting God laughed and then said, "Come on, let’s switch topics. Let me tell you about my buddy from the Velier clan; they’re all really great people."
"Last time, I traded a few crates of Maotai for a box of rune weapons with them. Actually…"
He thought, since Brother God of Wealth has the ability to see through time and space and predict the future, he might as well share about the Velier clan too!
If the Huahuaz clan is in trouble, he should also consider the earlier warning from Brother God of Wealth about the Velier clan.
So, let’s talk about it!
【After briefly recounting the events, Fighting God’s expression suddenly eased.】
【It turns out that before your death, you had accepted Fighting God’s invitation to go out drinking and have some fun together.】
【While drunk, you mumbled to Fighting God that if you ever died under mysterious circumstances in the future, no matter what the evidence suggested, it would definitely be related to the Wind God!】
【So, after your death, in October 2023, after confirming that there was a traitor leaking information, he killed the Wind God in the suburbs.】
【The confused look on the Wind God’s face before his death haunted Fighting God like a lingering nightmare.】
【At the time, he didn’t understand why you were so sure about the Wind God’s treachery, even doubting his own judgment.】
【But now, knowing that you have the ability to cross time and space, he feels relieved. You must have known about the Wind God’s betrayal from a future where you had traveled through time and space.】
【So, he no longer feels guilty; he killed the traitor Wind God, not a friend or comrade!】
【Then, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness asks you why you thought the Wind God was a traitor.】
【Oh, confused Brother God of Wealth! Fighting God’s trace of consciousness is asking you, will you tell him the truth?】
【Option one: Tell him the truth and let him know your suspicions about the Wind God.】
【Option two: Hide the truth and make up a lie about the Wind God’s betrayal.】
Su Wen sighed softly. Was the narration really pushing him to make a choice?
Could it be that the Wind God… isn’t the traitor after all?
How did that anomaly know so much about China’s combat power layout?
Beside him, Fighting God’s pupils narrowed as he heard Su Wen’s sigh.
Holy crap!
Are the rough guys from the Velier clan also involved in this mess?
Was he just talking about the Velier clan’s strong liquor?
Could there be something hidden in that Velier clan booze?
No way!
After I get the God of Theater to check me out, I’d better have the Star God use his Divine Artifacts to give me a once-over, just to be safe.
This is insane!
Even the friends I thought I could trust are shady?
And it’s all tied to food and drink?
If you’re gonna scheme, at least don’t mess with the food!
Su Wen had no clue about Fighting God’s inner turmoil; he wasn’t in the mood to listen to Fighting God’s tall tales right now.
Only one thought consumed him: Had he wronged the Wind God?
The Wind God can see through good and evil!
So, the fall of the Eastern Sea Defense War, Fighting God getting betrayed by allies, and the arrival of the dark age—it’s all connected to him!
If the Wind God hadn’t died, the treacherous Velier clan and Huahuaz clan would’ve been exposed!
And if the East Sea Defense Line hadn’t collapsed, maybe the dark age in the Resistor’s Diary wouldn’t have happened!
Now, it all makes sense!
"Damn it!"
Su Wen let out a heavy sigh; now he got it.
In the previous timeline, the Wind God was still alive, and the East Sea Defense Line held strong.
The tech and power from the technological era were still here, still working.
Sure, some parts of China fell, but it never got this bad.
It was through this shift in time and space that he finally understood how crucial a fate bearer with the character "God" is to the nation.
Lose one, and the country mourns!
Lose them all, and the nation’s collapse is right around the corner!
Fighting God: “!!!”
That sigh was heavy!
Is the message already that obvious?
Holy crap!
What the hell did the Velier clan do to me?
Thinking about this, Fighting God didn’t hesitate any longer. After quickly telling Su Wen he had something to take care of, he turned into a blur and disappeared on the spot.
Now!
Right now!
He needed to check his body!
Delaying could lead to trouble!
“Hmm?”
Su Wen raised an eyebrow. “Why does Fighting God look like something big just happened? What’s going on?”
He then shook his head slightly and turned his gaze toward the future.
[Honest God of Wealth! You’ve told Fighting God’s trace of consciousness everything without holding back.]
[Fighting God’s trace of consciousness fell silent after understanding the cause of the situation.]
[After a moment, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness spoke up. “The Wind God’s style of action does seem questionable, and with your repeated strange deaths, it’s only natural to suspect him of being a traitor.”]
[Then, Fighting God asked, “Is there any other evidence to support this?”]
[After all, the beings from the mystical realm are clearly obsessed with you. If you were to personally explore the Arrow Realm, they’d surely go to great lengths to kill you.]
[Hearing this, you and Fighting God’s trace of consciousness exchanged awkward glances, falling into an uncomfortable silence.]
[After taking a deep breath, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness began to explain his thoughts.]
[“God of Wealth, in the future, don’t speak to me with such certainty before you know the full truth.”]
[“If, during your future Time and Space explorations, it turns out the Wind God isn’t a traitor, and you’ve misjudged him, I hope you’ll treat him better—as a form of… compensation from me.”]
[“I’ve already died for my country, and our Time and Space has fallen to this state. I can’t make it up to the Wind God myself, so if it’s confirmed he’s innocent, please be kind to him.”]
As he spoke, Fighting God’s trace of consciousness began to tremble violently.
[“God of Wealth, you come from the past timeline. For you, this is just a Time and Space Journey. You don’t care about the destruction of this Time and Space because your timeline has an infinite future.”]
[“But for us, this Time and Space is our only one!”]
[“So I ask you, before you leave any Time and Space in the future, make sure the information you’ve gathered is accurate. That way, you can avoid the sacrifice of innocent timelines.”]
[“In your future Time and Space travels, please remember my words today.”]
[“Even though we’re abandoned sub-timelines, we all believe this is our main Time and Space!”]
[“You have the power to start over, but we don’t.”]
[“Everything we face is real, happening to us, etched deep within our souls—the most poignant and brutal experiences of our lives.”]
[“I’m grateful for Fighting God, who lives in the main Time and Space, and for your existence, which gives him countless chances to fix his mistakes and start anew.”]
