Chapter 57: The Gift from the River of Time
"Can I really Level Up during chaos in time and space?"
Su Wen stared at the information before him, feeling confused.
He knew that the fate bearer’s way to Level Up involved battling beings from the Arrow Realm in the Rule Arrow Realm.
By doing so, he could gain the experience energy needed for his advancement.
But he never expected that after activating chaos in time and space, he could actually Level Up in the future timeline!
This was too outrageous!
The future was ten years away from now!
And in any case, he didn’t want to Level Up!
After leveling up, the consumption in chaos in time and space would rise. If every time chaos in time and space happened like this, the wealth consumption for traveling through time and space would become an astronomical figure!
If he really became a Level Eight or Level Nine God of Wealth, his combat power would increase, but he guessed that the talent for chaos in time and space would become useless.
"If only the Level increase didn’t affect the talent for chaos in time and space!"
Su Wen sighed. If leveling up didn’t affect chaos in time and space, and each journey consumed only 0.1 Wealth Source Value for a ten-year unit, that would be wonderful!
Then, upon learning that refining beings from the future timeline could yield experience points, he would definitely jump for joy!
In fact, logically, Refinement power truly was a skill so overpowered it felt unfair.
On one hand, refining the bodies of beings from the Arrow Realm would grant him wealth.
On the other hand, during the Refinement process, he could also acquire experience energy.
For any fate bearer, the additional functionality of the Refinement power would be thrilling, but for the God of Wealth, it felt like a shackle.
It was a limitation on his ability to massively refine Arrow Realm beings and rapidly become powerful in the future timeline!
"It seems I can’t do this anymore!"
Su Wen shook his head helplessly. Since he couldn’t stop the advancement to Level Two, he would just have to accept it.
Learn from his mistakes!
He would need to be more cautious in the future timeline.
What was a body-strengthening elixir for others could possibly be a deadly poison for him!
【Fighting God noticed your advancement, a smile spreading across his face. With a thought, he set up a barrier around you, ensuring no one would disturb your Level Up process.】
【In his eyes, your Level was too low, only Level One. Raising it now was a good thing.】
【He had also planned that once you completed your advancement, he would take you directly to the capital of the Magical Spiders to take down a few giant Magical Spiders and help you gain some levels.】
【Level Two was still too low; you needed to raise it to at least Levels Eight or Nine to have some ability to protect yourself.】
【And with you, the master of Wealth Source, crossing time and space and returning with a massive power boost, you could better assist Fighting God in the past timeline, right?】
【In both public and private matters, Fighting God decided to put all his strength into raising your Level, even if it meant sparking a border war today!】
Su Wen: "…"
What was up with Fighting God and his eagerness to help him Level Up?
If Fighting God actually succeeded in his plan and pushed Su Wen to the Eighth and Ninth Levels on this timeline, that would be a real disaster!
Even though Fighting God had good intentions, he had no clue about Su Wen’s true thoughts—it was a classic case of good intentions leading to bad outcomes!
Just look at this!
If Su Wen’s future self in the future timeline still insisted on refining beings from the mystical realm after leveling up, there would be no choice but to… initiate a Forced Recall!
"Wealth Source Value: 86.5."
Looking at his overflowing Wealth Source Value, Su Wen felt a strange mix of pain and joy for the first time.
The joy came from the massive increase in Wealth Source Value—it was a huge windfall!
But the pain? That came from the fact that this windfall was achieved at the cost of his Level increase.
"If other fate bearers found out I considered Leveling Up a painful price, they’d probably be green with envy!"
Su Wen couldn’t help but mock himself.
Who would’ve thought such a contradictory feeling would ever cross his mind?
【Greedy God of Wealth! Your advancement has caused an aura foreign to this world to surge violently, piercing the heavens and stirring the River of Time, drawing even more attention from higher dimensions.】
【Thanks to your previous dealings, the River of Time found you familiar and didn’t immediately expel or seal you, giving you a chance to continue your Wealth Source negotiations.】
【Poor God of Wealth! Will you open your dried-up Little Gold Vault and part with some Wealth Source to smooth things over?】
【Option One: Offer ten points of Wealth Source to send the River of Time’s attention packing.】
【Option Two: Offer thirty points of Wealth Source, and the River of Time will reward you for your generosity.】
【Option Three: Be stingy and offer nothing, letting the River of Time expel and seal you, believing you’re untouchable as a being crossing time and space.】
【Wise God of Wealth! You made the best choice by offering thirty points of Wealth Source, pleasing the River of Time, which now sees you as a promising talent.】
【As a result, the River of Time decided to grant you a gift, showcasing its magnanimity.】
【Lucky God of Wealth! Your luck has skyrocketed, and you’ve received a gift from the River of Time.】
【Buff: Gift from the River of Time.】
【When your journey through this timeline ends and you’re expelled by the River of Time, the gift from its depths will cleanse and purify your soul and true spirit.】
【Oh, you ridiculously lucky God of Wealth! You must have some shady connection with the gambling den’s owner—how else could your luck be this insane?】
【As a God of Wealth who disrupts the order of time and space and toys with its rules, you somehow managed to turn danger into safety after catching the attention of the River of Time’s depths. Unbelievable!】
Su Wen frowned slightly. The narration that followed seemed to hint at something deeper.
The gaze from the depths of the River of Time…
Wasn’t that different from the River’s usual attention?
Judging by the tone of the final remark, it seemed that no matter which of the three options he chose, the end result would’ve been expulsion!
The River of Time, as the guardian of the order of time and space, probably couldn’t stand a fate bearer like the God of Wealth messing with its rules.
If bribing with Wealth Source actually worked, then the River of Time’s arrival was just an attempt to extort him—but that didn’t add up.
If it were that simple, they’d take the money and leave.
Why bother giving him a gift in return?
What’s more, this gift from the River of Time was intriguing—it clearly separated the River of Time in this world from its deeper, more mysterious aspects.
"It seems the River of Time is more than just a river of time and space!"
