Chapter 81: The Happiest Day of My Life
[You noticed Du Guowei’s gaze, and following his line of sight, you made eye contact with him across the distance.]
[In that brief moment of connection, you guessed the reason for Du Guowei’s surprise; perhaps he recognized you.]
[You smiled at Du Guowei, and he, standing at the center of the stage, subtly nodded in your direction.]
[In the next moment, Du Guowei sat down to continue the lecture and explained the reason for his earlier interruption.]
[It turned out that there had been some electrical leakage in Suzhou-Hangzhou Martial University’s speaking facilities, and he had stood up to check if any students were experiencing issues due to the electrical current.]
[With no one injured, it was a stroke of good luck, so the frontier martial arts lecture would continue.]
[The president of Suzhou-Hangzhou Martial University, hearing that the interruption was due to faulty equipment, looked grim and ordered a thorough investigation. Anyone responsible would face severe consequences!]
[It was truly embarrassing that such an incident occurred while the deputy editor of Martial Arts Monthly was present.]
Su Wen watched, unable to suppress a chuckle.
He hadn’t expected Du Guowei to be so adept at improvising!
Considering this, he could understand why Du Guowei seemed to know him well.
In the last timeline, he had read some articles in the most authoritative journal in the martial arts community, Martial Arts Monthly.
He had a deep understanding of martial arts himself.
So, it was natural for him to notice that many articles in Martial Arts Monthly were filled with fluff, with some essays presenting a viewpoint or insight and then endlessly reiterating it, filled with nonsense.
At that time, he had decided to renovate Martial Arts Monthly upon his return.
And he knew Du Guowei’s talent in martial arts.
If he created Martial Arts Monthly, it was entirely reasonable for Du Guowei to become its deputy editor.
Especially since the Wind God was also one of the deputy editors of Martial Arts Monthly, which suggested that it was indeed his idea to establish it.
Having survived another ten years, during this period of martial arts development, it was normal for him to have frequent interactions with Du Guowei at Martial Arts Monthly.
But when Du Guowei mentioned that the God of Martial Arts founded Martial Arts Monthly and brought Du Guowei into the martial arts world, he couldn’t help but wonder—could this God of Martial Arts be him?
As the creator of martial arts, being called the God of Martial Arts seemed appropriate, right?
Of course, if a fate bearer with the character "God" truly existed, with innate abilities that accelerated the progress of martial arts, then that person being the editor of Martial Arts Monthly would also be very reasonable.
He would understand the specific situation after Du Guowei finished his lecture.
[As an elusive Wealth God, your sudden appearance clearly shifted the focus of the famous Master of Martial Arts Du Guowei away from the lecture.]
[So, after briefly summarizing and posing several representative questions, Du Guowei ended the martial arts lecture.]
[Even though students and people from various circles felt a bit bewildered by the abrupt ending, since Master Du Guowei declared it finished, they could at most approach with some questions but couldn’t say much more.]
[The president of Suzhou-Hangzhou Martial University had prepared a long speech and gratitude message, which was thrown into disorder by Du Guowei’s unplanned behavior.]
[However, being the president, he quickly gathered his thoughts and delivered a summary and gratitude for Master Du Guowei’s visit to Suzhou-Hangzhou Martial University.]
[Finally, amidst the bustling crowd on the playground, Du Guowei approached you with a new demeanor, briefly revealing some of his energy before signaling you to follow him.]
[After turning east and west for a while, Du Guowei led you to a quiet and deserted place.]
[With a surge of energy fluctuations, Du Guowei returned to his original form, then looked at you for a moment before excitedly asking, "Master God of Martial Arts, is that really you?"]
[Oh proud God of Wealth! In response to Du Guowei’s question, you have some choices to make.]
[1. Deny your identity as the God of Martial Arts and state that you are the God of Wealth instead.]
[2. Acknowledge your identity as the God of Martial Arts and instruct Du Guowei to keep your identity a secret.]
[3. Neither confirm nor deny, but ask Du Guowei about the Star God and Fighting God.]
[Feigning mystery, God of Wealth! You did not reveal your identity; after having Du Guowei sit down to talk, you inquired about the Star God and Fighting God.]
[Hearing you directly mention the names of the Star God and Fighting God, Du Guowei’s lips trembled, and tears streamed down his face for a moment.]
[Even though you didn’t directly admit your identity, if you weren’t the God of Martial Arts, how could you speak so freely of the Star God and Fighting God?]
[Once he calmed down, Du Guowei began explaining the situation regarding the Star God and Fighting God.]
[The Star God, as the president of the Mount Sea Battlefield, had served as a deputy editor at Martial Arts Monthly after an invitation from the God of Martial Arts a few years ago, but he hadn’t been involved in martial arts matters for a long time.]
[He heard that the situation at the Mount Sea Battlefield had become severe, with top-tier powerful beings constantly attacking its defenses, and there had been several close calls where the Star God needed to intervene.]
[The Star God remained stationed at the Mount Sea Battlefield, so Du Guowei didn’t have much information about him; he was merely a Fourth Rank Warrior and could not access information from such high levels.]
[As for the Fighting God, he had more contact with him.]
[The Fighting God, as the president overseeing all battlefields within and beyond Huaxia, routinely moved among large battlefields, stationed in the Imperial Capital to maintain order in Huaxia.]
[Perhaps due to the fact that the Fighting God primarily operated within Huaxia, he occasionally visited the headquarters of Martial Arts Monthly, where he served as a deputy editor.]
[According to Du Guowei, he witnessed the Fighting God’s growth firsthand.]
[At first, when the God of Theater and the God of Martial Arts had not yet fallen and the Wind God had not yet betrayed them, the Fighting God was quite the chatterbox and always rushed to the front in any situation.]
[But with the major upheaval, the God of Theater and the God of Martial Arts fell, and the Wind God betrayed them; it became the Star God’s duty to manage the Mount Sea Battlefield, placing the responsibility of the various battlefields in Huaxia on the Fighting God’s shoulders.]
[Afterward, the Fighting God gradually spoke less, and that pure and slightly naive laughter was no longer heard.]
[During one of his inspections at the headquarters of Martial Arts Monthly, the Fighting God remarked that the happiest days of his life were when everyone was still around and they joked and bragged together; those were joyful times.]
[Listening to Du Guowei recount the story, you fell silent.]
[After a moment, you wanted Du Guowei to share some information about the God of Wealth.]
[Du Guowei was taken aback, then said that when he joined Martial Arts Monthly, the God of Wealth had already been brutally killed by foreign beings, so he wasn’t very familiar with the life and deeds of this fate bearer with the character "God."]
[He only knew that the God of Wealth didn’t seem to have many good relationships.]
[Because after the God of Wealth’s death, the five fate bearers with the character "God"—the Star God, Fighting God, God of Theater, God of Martial Arts, and Wind God—never mentioned each other again, as if they were not meant to exist at all.]
