Chapter 213: A Ritualistic Grave-Sweeping Ceremony

"Chaos in time and space, start detection."

"Crossing limits: thirty years."

"Detection passed!"

When Su Wen passed the chaos in time and space detection, he realized that he hadn’t survived for another thirty years.

It seemed that after the full unsealing of the Arrow Realm in twenty-eight years, the threat it posed was still too great.

Even though he already knew most of the future information, and the Star God and others had gained thirty years of insights, their strength had improved dramatically, allowing them to anticipate the significant movements in the Arrow Realm multiple times.

Yet, in the face of absolute power from the Arrow Realm, he still couldn’t last thirty years.

But that was normal, after all, it was a complete awakening.

Besides, having died so many times, it didn’t matter if he died once more.

He was also curious about how, under the conditions of significant improvement in strength and information, the Arrow Realm managed to kill him this time.

【Luxurious Third Level God of Wealth! You consumed minute amounts of Wealth Source to disrupt time and space.】

【The powerful power of Wealth Source vibrated through time and space, shaking loose weak and fragmented energies of time and space, enveloping you and bringing you thirty years into the future.】

【Detection found God of Wealth’s exclusive Divine Artifact: Yuanbao, starting to exert its effect.】

【Under the power of the Yuanbao, you arrived at the political and cultural center of China: the Imperial Capital.】

【Crossing time and space, you descended into a gray-white, solemn place filled with sci-fi projections that exuded a futuristic atmosphere.】

【You glanced around and were astonished to find that you appeared in a high-standard Martyrs’ Cemetery within the boundaries of the Imperial Capital.】

【On the sci-fi projections was information about the martyrs and details of their sacrifice for the nation.】

【You skimmed through quickly and paused slightly upon seeing several familiar names.】

【Huang Tianqi, Zhao Tianhan, Lin Zhu…】

【Realization flashed in your eyes; those buried in this Martyrs’ Cemetery were indeed heroes who had made significant contributions to the country and deserved to be honored by the people!】

【Your past experiences of paying respects tell you that your tombstone and related information projection are likely here as well.】

【Lucky God of Wealth! You felt particularly fortunate this time, discovering your tombstone as soon as you arrived, and able to learn about your related information through the virtual projections of future technology.】

【You were very satisfied with this.】

Seeing this, Su Wen’s lips twitched slightly.

Crossing time and space and directly arriving near his tombstone was indeed a peculiar experience.

Moreover, the narration described it as good luck…

Learning about his death information at the first moment could, in a sense, be considered a stroke of good fortune.

【Relying on your instincts, you began to navigate through the densely packed Martyrs’ Cemetery.】

【After searching for a while, you finally discovered a tall and majestic tombstone that stood like a giant pillar, quite different from the others.】

【You had a feeling that this must be your tombstone!】

【Without hesitation, you approached the towering tombstone, and just as you were about to reach it, you suddenly saw an old man with white hair and a wrinkled face sweeping the grave with a broom.】

【Even though the tall tombstone was spotless without a speck of dust, the old man continued to sweep over and over again. His movements were orderly, creating a solemn beauty that could be seen from afar.】

【The old man could see you, but his strange state of perception made it clear that he was a true powerful being.】

【As you watched the old man’s grave-sweeping ritual, you felt a sense of familiarity when looking at his wrinkled face and his extremely aged appearance.】

【However, he was too old; your mind flickered with several familiar names, but you dismissed them one by one.】

【You decided to stop your wild imaginations; if it was someone you knew, you could just ask directly.】

【If he truly was an acquaintance, he shouldn’t be surprised by your appearance, and you would quickly learn his identity.】

【As you stood before the tall tombstone, the old man paused his ritual and lifted his murky eyes.】

【At the moment he saw you, his breathing briefly became erratic, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly shone brightly, filled with intense emotional fluctuations.】

【In that instant of eye contact, you understood that this old man should be one of the acquaintances you knew.】

【However, among the elderly figures you recognized, there was only the God of Theater.】

【But the old man’s behavior was different from what you knew of the God of Theater.】

【Most importantly, why would the God of Theater sweep a grave for you in this manner? The area was already uncontaminated, yet he continued to sweep repeatedly.】

【You approached the old man and asked about his identity.】

【The old man stared at you for a moment, shook his head, and then gestured for you to look at the information on the tombstone.】

【After that, the old man resumed his grave-sweeping ritual, and a feeling of unease filled your heart.】

【When you looked at the tombstone, information related to the giant tombstone appeared before you.】

【God of Martial Arts.】

【Age at death: 35 years.】

【Cause of death: Killed by Fighting God at the fate bearer headquarters on August 15, 2034.】

Su Wen jumped up from his seat, his face dramatically changing.

What is this?

The tombstone records how I was killed by Fighting God?

And in front of so many people, dying at the fate bearer headquarters?

This can’t be real, right?

Is it another act for the Arrow Realm aberrants?

But the last time the sub-timelines didn’t play out this way; what major change happened this time?

Three to four years—how come I don’t remember this significant moment?

"God of Wealth, calm down!"

Yuanbao comforted him, "During the process of crossing time and space, anything is possible."

"After all, even a tiny change in the main Time and Space, or even a different thought from you, could lead to a tremendous upheaval in the sub-timelines thirty years later."

"Thirty years is a long time, and so much can happen."

Su Wen waved his hand, saying, "I know what you’re saying; it’s not that I don’t believe, but it’s just too unbelievable."

"And if it’s an act, then why would I think my future self has died? The outcome of that act and the real cause of death shouldn’t be made public?"

"As for what you said about anything being possible… given Fighting God’s nature, combined with the unconditional trust shown to me by earlier sub-timelines, him trying to kill me would be suspicious, right?"

"Plus, that fool, even if he intended to harm me, would probably be seen through by the Star God and the God of Theater."

"So if this isn’t an act, how could Fighting God have the audacity to kill me in front of so many people… I just can’t make sense of it."

"Let’s just keep watching!"

【The astonished God of Wealth! You were shocked by the cause of your future self’s death, and as you forced yourself to calm down, you continued to look down at your character introduction panel.】

【Even if Fighting God really intended to kill you, you still wanted to know the reason behind it.】
