Chapter 50: Freeing Oneself
[Oh, young God of Wealth! After you finish reading your comrade’s message, you take a deep breath and focus on the audio recording left by your comrade.]
[The familiar voice of the Star God, accompanied by solemn background music, begins to resonate in your ears.]
[Dear comrade! By the time you hear this recording, I might already be gone from this world.]
[Please forgive me for acting on my own. I didn’t follow the original plan, and I’ve disrupted your plans—I’m truly sorry.]
[You once said you wanted me to stay by your side in the future, to witness the grand era together.]
[But my abilities are limited; I’m not as extraordinary as you think. I can’t stop the invasion of the outsiders, nor can I completely keep them at bay.]
[So, to create a better future for you, I decided to act according to my own judgment.]
[I’m willing to wield my sword to carve out the peaceful future you’ve always dreamed of.]
[Of course, I hope you can understand my impulsiveness. I, too, have my own path to walk, and I want to see the wonders I’ve never seen before.]
[Since you’ve already laid out everything, the peace of the future is inevitable.]
[So, I can now freely pursue my own desires, to explore what I’ve never explored, to see… the higher realms.]
[Dear comrade! If you’re hearing this and I’m still alive, rest assured, I’ll find you as soon as possible, and together we’ll fight for the future we’ve envisioned.]
[Lastly, I want to say, if you ever feel tired, it’s okay to pause and take a break. Everyone will understand.]
[And… thank you for all your hard work, my dearest comrade!]
[From the past timeline, the voice of the God of Wealth echoes around you, stirring complex emotions in your heart.]
[Indeed, your future self didn’t let you down—he told the Star God everything.]
[But as you revealed everything to the Star God, he had already made his own decision in his heart.]
Su Wen fell silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a soft laugh.
He looked up at the ceiling, thinking, “The Star God’s choice is unexpected, yet it makes perfect sense.”
At first, he was puzzled when the Star God began slaughtering clans and destroying worlds.
After his future “self” died, the Star God underwent a dramatic personality change, becoming reckless and unhinged.
But what he said suggested that his future self would return—dying now didn’t mean it was the end.
So why did it seem like the world would collapse if he died?
However, as the Star God’s recording played, Su Wen began to understand his intentions.
As he continued to alter the course of the timeline, victory for China was inevitable!
Since a bright future was already guaranteed, and this timeline wasn’t the primary one, why not let go of his reservations and act on his true desires?
In other words, once the Star God realized he had the power to traverse Time and Space and change its outcomes, he decided to stop holding back!
Gradually, he began to free himself!
He wanted to do the things he’d always wanted to do but couldn’t because of his reservations!
After all, he could always start over, right?
Even if he died, in the next timeline, he’d be alive again, and everything would move toward a better future. What was there to fear?
Most importantly, if you miss this chance, you won’t get another one!
If I don’t let loose this time, who knows when I’ll get the chance again?
So, the Star God, in letting himself go, stirs up a series of jaw-dropping events that leave everyone, human or not, both at home and abroad, completely stunned and confused.
Aren’t you all banding together, ready to kill the God of Wealth no matter what?
Fine!
You do your thing, and I’ll do mine!
If the God of Wealth dies, I’ll make sure your clans and the world go down with him!
But, looking at the Star God’s journey through this timeline, he realizes just how powerful he becomes when he stops holding back.
And let’s face it, the Star God is one tough cookie!
If the Star God is this fierce, then the Fighting God, Wind God, and God of Theater… they’re probably just as tough!
Is that why the beings from the Arrow Realm, despite their massive invasion, don’t push humans too far?
Last time, when Time and Space were in chaos, it was mostly because the Fighting God and Wind God fell.
With only the Star God and the God of Theater left as fate bearers with the character "God," the beings from the Arrow Realm aren’t as scared.
After all, why would those with nothing to lose fear those who have everything?
If weaker beings can keep the strongest human fighters tied down, why would they want to free them?
Or, to put it another way, no clan would risk their future and the safety of their main realm for such a thankless task.
“I always thought the Star God was a nice guy!”
Su Wen chuckles, but having more tough guys on his side is always a plus!
He aims to scare the otherworldly creatures out of their wits!
To make them too scared to show their faces!
To make them tremble at the mere mention of the word "human," giving them nightmares!
[Oh, emotional God of Wealth! After listening to this audio from the Star God, you notice some notes below the audio.]
[Some thoughts and comments about the Star God’s audio pop up in front of you.]
[The Beast Tamer Captain of the Black Mask team, from the seventh special squad of fate bearers, said after listening to the Star God audio that the Star God’s voice is full of hope for a peaceful future and dreams of children growing up in a nurturing environment.]
[The eighth-tier fate bearer, the Mechanic, wondered if the dear comrade the Star God mentioned was the God of Wealth? Only the close bond between the God of Wealth and the Star God could make the Star God speak so fondly.]
[But many fate bearers and warriors disagreed with the Mechanic, believing that the dear comrade in the Star God’s audio must be a nod to the soldiers on the front lines, representing all those who fight for their country and people.]
[The famous martial arts theory master, Du Guowei, once said that the Star God’s talk of a peaceful era and his advice to his dear comrade to rest when tired was surely meant to encourage the soldiers who risk everything.]
[In simpler terms, it’s like saying, soldiers, you’re out there on the front lines, fighting for your country and people. You’re the unbreakable wall, holding up the countless lights of China behind you.]
[You’re the greatest! But you’re also the ones who bear the heaviest burden!]
[So, when you’re worn out, it’s okay to take a breather; everyone understands that those who fight for the country need a moment to rest.]
[But after your break, soldiers, you must grab your weapons and head back to the battlefield, to keep fighting for your homeland and loved ones!]
[Out of all the big names weighing in, only Master Du Guowei’s take won over most people. Though a few still insist the Star God was talking about the God of Wealth, otherwise why would he bring up the word "forgive"?]
[But on this point, many scholars have written papers, analyzing the meaning of forgiveness from all angles, so every listener has their own take on what the Star God meant by forgiveness.]
