Chapter 95: The Small Lai Tribe
“How much money do you think it would take to bring back the insights of the Star God from the future timeline?”
Su Wen wondered silently, and as expected, it was going to cost more!
By now, he had a pretty good idea of how the river of time operated.
When you’re crossing time and space, you can do whatever you want—as long as you can pay the price!
Even if you turn the future timeline upside down, or bring back some devastating weapon invented in the future and completely alter the fate of the main Time and Space.
If you’ve got the cash, go ahead and do it!
But if you can’t afford it?
Too bad. The river of time, as the guardian of the order of time and space, won’t let you mess with its stability.
[Until the Star God from the future timeline provides the insights to be brought back, I can’t give you an estimate.]
[And this evaluation isn’t up to me.]
[I’ll need to take these insights to the river of time, and they’ll decide the cost.]
[Then, I’ll bring their price back to you. If you think it’s fair, we’ll pay. If not, we’ll drop it.]
Su Wen read the ingot’s reply and nodded to himself.
Ever since the ingot showed up, the river of time had lost some of its mystique in his mind.
Now it felt like just another business transaction.
It wasn’t exactly unreasonable, but… it didn’t quite match his original image of the river of time.
It was starting to feel more like the dark river.
No doubt, this was going to be another hefty expense.
“So, that transmission talisman I brought back earlier—was that free?”
Su Wen asked silently, still curious about the talisman he’d gotten before.
During his time in the future timeline, he’d learned that transmission talismans weren’t one-time use items; they could be reused.
Otherwise, the corpse from the first timeline wouldn’t have had one on him.
But after using the transmission talisman from the future timeline, it had crumbled into dust and vanished.
That made it clear: everything from the future timeline was disposable.
[According to the river of time, it was your first time bringing something back from the future, and it wasn’t anything particularly important.]
[So they didn’t charge you. Mostly because you’d just become the God of Wealth and used your ability to cause chaos in time and space for the first time. The river of time noticed and decided to cut you some slack.]
[After all, if they’re going to do business with you in the future, they had to give you a little incentive, right?]
Su Wen: “…”
What kind of nonsense is this?
[Oh, God of Wealth crossing time and space! You agreed with the Star God’s idea.]
[But you also voiced your concerns: the cost would depend on how much insight was being brought back, so you hoped the Star God wouldn’t try to dump everything at once.]
[It’s best to focus on the most crucial insights, the ones that really slow down progress in the main Time and Space.]
[After learning about the river of time’s high transaction fees, the Star God fell into an unusual silence.]
[After a moment, the Star God softly said to you, “Thank you for your hard work, God of Wealth!”]
[Because of the river of time’s steep fees, the treasures from the sub-timelines bring you very little profit, forcing you to spend your own money to bring back their insights.]
[Oh, comforted God of Wealth! You’ve traveled through time and space so many times, and this is only the second time the Star God has comforted and shown concern for you.]
[In response to the Star God’s worries, you smiled and told him not to worry. With such abundant future resources, he could bring them back to the main Time and Space and sell them in batches.]
[For now, your time and space travel, supported by global resources, seems sustainable.]
[If it ever becomes too much to handle, when the time comes, things will work out—there’s always a way to deal with the problem.]
[The Star God nodded slightly, extending her right hand. Endless, mysterious star fluctuations began to ripple in her palm, and standing beside her, you felt as if you were facing the vast universe itself, not just the Star God.]
[The Star God of the main Time and Space has already reached the pinnacle of the fate bearers. After growing for another twenty years, his power is beyond imagination.]
[You even wondered if the Star God’s earlier claim of not being as strong as the God of Theater might have just been humility.]
[As the Star God was condensing his insights, he suddenly remembered something.]
[According to the Star God, after he and the God of Freedom decided to take advantage of the Lai tribe, it turned out the Lai tribe was no match for them.]
[They also found the Lai tribe’s treasure house and made significant gains.]
[However, they didn’t find the Lai tribe’s ultimate treasure. He had always assumed the Lai tribe didn’t have one.]
[It wasn’t until seven years ago, while guarding the Mount Sea Battlefield, that during a patrol of the battlefield frontline, he sensed three king-level anomalies trying to cross the line. After killing them, he discovered two were king-level powerhouses from the Lai tribe.]
[Later, out of curiosity, he used the bodies of the Lai tribe’s powerful beings for deduction and found that the Lai tribe did indeed have ultimate treasures—two of them.]
[One was the Spring of Life, buried at the formation vein within the Lai tribe’s land, surrounded by layers of disguised great destruction formations. These formations served no purpose other than to emit a destructive aura.]
[It was that destructive aura that masked the rich life energy of the Spring of Life, preventing them from detecting it.]
[The other ultimate treasure was hidden in a vault ten thousand meters underground within the Lai tribe’s territory, known as the Lai Divine Sword. It was said to possess immense power, but the Lai tribe had never used it.]
[During their exploration with the God of Freedom, they reached deep into the Lai tribe’s territory but never expected the hidden vault to be buried so deep, protected by numerous concealment formations.]
[If the hidden vault hadn’t remained intact, the Lai tribe might not have recovered so quickly in just a few years.]
[If the Star God of the main Time and Space hasn’t yet gone to the Lai tribe, or if she’s already returned, you could share this with her.]
[The Lai tribe’s treasure house was just a front to intimidate; the hidden vault and the two ultimate treasures were the true core of the Lai tribe!]
[If not for the coincidence of encountering those two king-level Lai tribe beings, he might never have guessed that such a small tribe could hide two ultimate treasures.]
Su Wen smiled as he read this.
In the next moment, he stood up and looked at the Star God, saying, “Star God, I have news about the Lai tribe’s ultimate treasures. Are you interested in hearing it?”

God of Wealth’s Diary:
September 14, 2022, overcast.
I’m about to break through the time and space barrier, but it feels like I’m missing some rare treasures, something like “gifts” from the mysterious realm. If I had such treasures, I’m sure I could break through the time and space barrier.
