Chapter 204: The Moral Coercion of the Narration

Su Wen stood quietly to the side, listening to everyone’s conversation.

From the guesses made by the Star God and the God of Theater, he picked up a few keywords.

For example, the Holy Spirit Clan; this might be a key point he should pay special attention to.

“Wealthy God of Wealth! In your conversation with the Shadow God, you mentioned matters related to the Holy Spirit Clan.”

“The Shadow God doesn’t know much about the Holy Spirit Clan.”

“She only knows that before the God of Theater fell, he seemed to have some sort of deal with the Holy Spirit Clan, but the specific details of the deal were never revealed to her.”

As she spoke, the Shadow God flipped her right hand, and a dozen black-covered books appeared before him.

These books included “Steps of the Fate Bearer’s Technique Evolution,” “Encyclopedia Interpretation of the Fate Bearer,” and more…

A dozen books on the lineage of fate bearers represented the crystallization of their development in this era, containing techniques on how fate bearers wield their power, as well as the connection and application of divine abilities.

Knowing the importance of these crystallizations, you decisively activated a high-level spell: Instant Memory.

Just as you prepared to continue duplicating the theoretical books of the fate bearers, the Shadow God’s expression changed.

In the next moment, you felt the world shift; all the colored objects around you turned pitch black, making it impossible to perceive your surroundings with your eyes.

Here, in the shadow kingdom created by the Shadow God, things had changed since the earlier battle, which had weakened her foundation, plunging the shadow kingdom toward ruin.

Wandering aimlessly in the Shadow God’s realm, you understood that the sudden change in her emotions and her quick decision to draw you into the shadow kingdom indicated that something significant had occurred!

Based on your experience from dying multiple times, you surmised that the top powerful beings from the Arrow Realm had discovered the arrival of the God of Wealth and were coming to kill you.

Calm as ever, the God of Wealth felt no surprise at the turmoil in the Arrow Realm or the impending death awaiting him.

Counting the time and considering the gains from this sub-timeline, you nodded to yourself, feeling it was indeed time to return.

After all, you were only a Third Level God of Wealth, and the resources spent crossing time and space were sparse, so the river of time probably wouldn’t offer you prolonged protection.

Oh, God of Wealth with a mind of a petty person! How could you judge the thoughts of the magnificent river of time through your own subjective imagination?

As a significant celestial officer, your transaction this time was substantial, bringing rich resources.

Even during the deal, your actions attracted the involvement of senior personnel within the river of time. To compensate for their miscalculation about you, they offered you an extra service in the form of a USB drive.

So how could you place the burden of your enemies’ attacks on the river of time?

As the saying goes, “there are always stronger hands among the strong.” The external powerful enemies battling the Shadow God are formidable to her, but to the river of time, they are just a trivial challenge.

Moreover, the river of time in this world decided to offer you a discount for your journey across time.

Opportunities come and go quickly; the quick-witted God of Wealth must seize the moment!

So, wealthy and understanding God of Wealth, are you willing to pay a trivial amount of resources to request the powerful and mysterious river of time to help you settle everything?

Option 1: Pay the resources, and the river of time will act according to your will, clearing away all your enemies.

Option 2: Hold tightly to your pockets and watch the wounded Shadow God battle her external foes until she meets her end.

Su Wen: “……”

Is this dead narration trying to morally coerce me?

Is the narrator someone from the river of time?

It must be!

Otherwise, as I spent more, the narrator’s tone shifted from sarcastic to fawning.

And after I questioned the river of time’s services, the narrator seemed almost frantic!

Especially in the last few sentences, they pulled out all the stops just to get me to spend more wealth and ask for the river of time’s help.

Seeing the narrator’s behavior, it suddenly hit me: could the river of time have noticed I still had some balance in my account and wanted to keep milking me?

After all, thanks to the Abundant Wealth talent, I had just received eighty thousand wealth.

Such a money-making ability is worth learning from!

“Oh, stingy God of Wealth! You’ve made a very unwise choice, and this choice might just end your journey through time and space.”

“The river of time is quite pleased with your previous big transactions.”

“But your current stinginess has left the river of time very unhappy.”

“Oh, bold God of Wealth! You know your status as a major client and couldn’t care less about the river of time’s opinions.”

“However, it’s a shame that the Shadow God has taken you into the shadow world to protect you, so you have no idea what your approaching enemies look like or their details.”

Seeming to sense this, and wanting you to get a heads-up about Huaxia’s enemies from the main time and space, an image of a fierce battle appeared before you.

Through the image, you spotted the incoming enemies.

Twenty-eight figures dressed in golden feathered robes, clearly from the same powerful faction, and their magical techniques against the Shadow God were strikingly similar.

For some reason, you suddenly thought of the Holy Spirit clan.

After all, apart from the Holy Spirit clan, you couldn’t think of any other clan capable of producing such a large number of Emperor Level beings.

And the Shadow God’s combat power, fully unleashed, surprisingly matched that of the twenty-eight Emperor Level beings in a back-and-forth battle.

Just as you hesitated, the Shadow God’s voice echoed in your mind.

“God of Wealth, can you self-destruct?”

“I’m well aware of my current strength, so the opponents must be holding back to avoid killing me outright.”

“This means this group of Emperor Level beings wants to capture you alive.”

“As for Brother God of Fighting, I can sense the rules of power raging violently at the Mount Sea Battlefield, so we can’t count on him.”

“Rational God of Wealth! You shared your suspicions about the Holy Spirit clan with the Shadow God, who sighed after a moment of silence.”

In the next moment, terrifying shadow power surged around you.

“God of Wealth, take care!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the horrifying shadow power erupted instantly, obliterating you completely.

You died.

The river of time in this world quickly realized you weren’t a being of the current time and space, refusing to accept your soul and true spirit. After separating a thread of time and space power to protect you, it notified the river of time in your original space.

The river of time in this time and space received the notification, and a thread of time and space power extended to guide your soul and true spirit back.
