Chapter 88: The Calm Before the Storm
【You stood beside Du Guowei, letting him answer the call from the Star God.】
【Excited God of Wealth! Even though you’ve traveled through Time and Space many times, this is your first encounter with the Star God in the future timeline.】
【You’re also curious—how far has your comrade, who’s grown over twenty years, come now?】
【The call connected, and a slightly weary voice came through.】
【Du Guowei, what do you need?】
【Star God, I’m here.】
【Your voice caused a brief pause from the Star God, who was still at the Mount Sea Battlefield.】
【Then, the Star God laughed. “God of Martial Arts—no, the God of Wealth, welcome back!”】
【As the Star God spoke, unnoticed by you, the Starry Array covering all of China began to shift, making subtle changes.】
【At the same time, a flash of starlight appeared in Wealth Spirit’s manor. When everyone blinked, the Star God, dressed in purple, was already standing there.】
【The Star God looked at you apologetically. “The situation at the Mount Sea Battlefield is dire. I’m sorry I can’t return in my true self to reunite with you after so many years… Well, in the past timeline, we might’ve just spoken.”】
【After a brief exchange, you told the Star God what you knew about the Shadow God.】
【Hearing this, the Star God’s tone stayed calm.】
【He already knew about the Shadow God. It was his mistake for not realizing that the Shadow’s power was strong enough at birth to evade the Starry Array’s detection.】
【His bigger mistake was focusing too much on defending and exploring the Arrow Realm, neglecting the psychological well-being and training of domestic fate bearers.】
【The Shadow God, Mo Xiaosu, had once locked eyes with him during part of the reckoning.】
【After destroying two Divine Artifacts, he managed to uncover some details about the Shadow God and her tragic childhood.】
【Knowing her suffering, he never sought her out, even though he wanted her to join the fight. Those tragedies… left him unable to ask.】
【The Star God looked at you and cut straight to the point, explaining the Shadow God’s background.】
【In 2022, the Shadow God was just eight years old, named Mo Xiaosu.】
【Her mother was beaten to death by her adoptive father in June that year, but because her adoptive father had ties to the local police station, the case was swept under the rug.】
【This left a permanent scar on Mo Xiaosu’s heart.】
【In July, after a failed attempt at revenge, her adoptive father handed her over to a notorious human trafficker in the area.】
【After enduring abuse for a long time, Mo Xiaosu awakened as a fate bearer.】
【Because of the Shadow God’s unique nature, the Starry Array didn’t detect her as a fate bearer with the character “God,” mistaking her for an ordinary one. So, the local police station got involved.】
【The fate bearer handling the case was a Yin-Yang Sorcerer. When he figured out Mo Xiaosu’s Shadow God identity, he tried to enslave her.】
【Realizing the danger, Mo Xiaosu fled. The Yin-Yang Sorcerer then brazenly issued a government-sanctioned wanted notice, using secular power to hunt her down.】
【To force her out, he even dug up her mother’s grave and publicly whipped the corpse.】
【From then on, Mo Xiaosu—the Shadow God—grew up under constant pursuit, facing not only fate bearers but also the collusion of local authorities.】
【At the time, the chaos was concentrated in a small city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and due to local cover-ups, no one outside knew.】
【Even when Mo Xiaosu sensed the Starry Array’s power, she was too terrified to reveal any trace of her identity as a fate bearer with the character “God.”】
【As he spoke, the Star God sighed, realizing that neither he nor China had the right to seek out the Shadow God for a conversation.】
【Throughout the Shadow God’s growth, China had not given her even a shred of warmth; all she received was endless harm and torment.】
【Just as Wealth Dream said, the fact that the Shadow God can bear the crazy thoughts in her heart without slaughtering the world is already the greatest kindness she possesses.】
【Finally, the Star God said heavily to you, if possible, he hoped you could hurry and take people to rescue Mo Xiaosu to avoid the local forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang from harming the future Shadow God.】
Seeing this, Su Wen suddenly stood up from his seat.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he exited his office and quickly headed towards the Star God’s office.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Su Wen knocked on the door, and after receiving permission from the Star God, he entered the office.
“God of Wealth, is something serious happening?”
The Star God seemed to notice something off about Su Wen’s aura and paused his actions, asking.
“Star God, I explored the future and found that a fate bearer with the character ‘God’ is being harmed by local forces.”
Su Wen spoke directly: “There is a person in charge in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a fate bearer who is a Yin-Yang Sorcerer.”
“After discovering that the Shadow God, as a fate bearer with the character ‘God,’ was not detected by the Starry Array due to her unique attributes, he plans to enslave her.”
Hearing this, the Star God’s breath hitched, and his aura became slightly erratic.
If observed closely, one could see the royal purple star mask on the Star God’s face trembling slightly.
“Hmm?”
Not far away, the God of Theater noticed something and frowned, asking, “What’s happening? Is the Star God actually angry?”
As he spoke, the God of Theater slowly rose.
He had seen the God of Wealth enter the Star God’s office earlier.
However, the Star God and the God of Wealth were still a bit young; by his age, one becomes indifferent to worldly matters.
No matter what happens, one should maintain a calm and light-hearted attitude.
In the face of all things, no matter how big the issue, one must remain calm and never lose their temper.
Only by calming down to think can one find better solutions to problems.
“Star God, what has angered you?”
The God of Theater entered the Star God’s office and quietly said, “You mentioned earlier that maintaining emotional stability is the most important skill.”
“How much time has passed that you’ve already forgotten what you said?”
The Star God took a deep breath and said, “God of Theater, just now the God of Wealth said that there is a fate bearer in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who is a Yin-Yang Sorcerer, and he wants to forcibly enslave a fate bearer with the character ‘God’ while she is still weak!”
As soon as these words left his mouth, the thermos cup in the God of Theater’s hand shattered.
At the same time, everything around them seemed to lose sound and motion, falling into complete silence.
Silence!
Total quiet!
This eerily extreme silence represented the calm before the storm.
“Jiangsu and Zhejiang?”
“A Yin-Yang Sorcerer, you say?”
…
