Chapter 282: Marshal Fighting God

"From another perspective, the kids of the future might be a bit overworked, but at least they’re alive and have a peaceful environment to study in."

"And their much-disliked martial arts training program—if it were introduced today, it would probably thrill a lot of people."

"After all, the novels, movies, and TV shows we grew up with make it hard not to fantasize about flying and vanishing into thin air."

"Now, the country has suddenly opened up these cultivation methods, even rolling out large-scale training programs."

"Most importantly, the government regularly distributes a bulk of martial arts cultivation resources. Stick to the program, and you might just get to fly and vanish one day."

"Who wouldn’t be excited about that?"

"So, is that why the little top student mentioned that Du Guowei and his crew are still leading the charge in martial arts?"

"As time goes on and martial arts become the norm, many of the things that thrill us now will just be burdens for future generations."

"Cultivation, immortality… How could future kids possibly find that annoying?"

"Maybe that’s why our parents’ generation can’t understand why we find studying such a drag!"

Su Wen thought for a moment and made up his mind.

Since he’d spotted this issue in the sub-timelines, he’d aim to fix it in the next sub-timeline.

Then, he’d see just how powerful martial arts could become once this flaw was ironed out.

Finding and fixing problems—that’s the whole point of his time-hopping adventures.

As for dodging problems?

That’s a strategy for the main Time and Space. After all, avoiding problems is way easier than solving them.

Dodge first, solve later—when you can’t dodge anymore.

That way, handling things becomes a whole lot simpler.

【Oh, the God of Wealth, crossing time and space! While the top student was comforting you, it ticked off some nearby passersby.】

【A few of them couldn’t help but speak up, telling you to take your national affairs chatter somewhere else, or at least find a restaurant to brag in.】

【It’s really rude to talk over there while others are trying to enjoy a show!】

【Being called out for being inconsiderate was a first for you.】

【But those passersby had a point, and you couldn’t argue. Discussing such topics while others are watching a performance does mess with the vibe.】

【So, after apologizing, you and the top student headed into a nicely decorated restaurant.】

【But as soon as you walked in, you found yourself in an awkward spot.】

【Right in the middle of the restaurant, a massive screen was playing various speeches and grand achievements of the God of Wealth.】

【Everyone else looked on with respect, even admiration.】

【But for some reason, you just felt awkward.】

【Still, you had no choice. To get the info you needed from this celestial officer, a professional student, you had to tough it out, sit down, and order some food.】

【While waiting for your meal, you kept chatting.】

【During the conversation, you brought up the situation with the Fighting God.】

【You are still very curious about your tough comrade, the Fighting God.】

【As you ask about the Fighting God, the top student seems stunned for a moment before quickly glancing around.】

【After a moment, his voice suddenly becomes very soft.】

【Is it really appropriate to ask about the Fighting God so openly in such a public place?】

【Seeing the sudden change in the top student’s tone and attitude, your pupils narrow. Could it be that something unexpected has happened to the Fighting God?】

【Has the Fighting God been targeted and plotted against again?】

【No way!】

【After you discreetly hand over a Starlight Crystal, the top student lowers his voice and begins to tell you about the Fighting God.】

【It is well known that during the War of 75, only two divine fate bearers survived.】

【One was the great Star God leader.】

【The other was the highly decorated Marshal Fighting God.】

【But the War of 75 was extremely brutal. When the war broke out, everyone below king level hid in basements protected by the Starry Array.】

【In fact, the entire group of martial artists, except for Mr. Du Baihua, who broke his own limits to reach king level, all retreated and hid.】

【That battle was one for the fate bearers against external forces!】

【Below king level, without the protection of the Starry Array, the terrifying aftermath of the battles in the skies would likely reduce them to ashes.】

【During that battle, Marshal Fighting God played a crucial role.】

【Alongside the great God of Wealth, who had not yet revealed his true self, he managed to kill thirteen demigods in just three days.】

【Throughout the battle, his body was destroyed yet he did not die, and his soul perished only to be reborn.】

【With each rebirth, Marshal Fighting God grew stronger.】

【But the enemies were too numerous and too powerful.】

【In a desperate situation, while observing the battlefield, Marshal Fighting God discovered something important.】

【All the demigods of the Holy Spirit clan, Demigod of the Ghost Spirit clan, and demigods from the Cangmu clan, as well as the raiders from across the starlit sky, slowed their attacks after severely injuring Marshal Fighting God.】

【At times, they even deliberately guided the energy waves around Marshal Fighting God, helping him to regenerate and grow stronger.】

【In other words, Marshal Fighting God realized that the enemy was afraid to kill him.】

【Though uncertain, in that critical moment, his strong combat instincts drove him to take a bold gamble.】

【He burned his life force, disturbed his origins, struck at his own soul, and self-destructed his true spirit…】

【Marshal Fighting God used every method he could think of to enhance his combat power.】

【Then something shocking happened: when the enemies realized Marshal Fighting God was on the brink of death, all the demigod enemies stopped what they were doing and redirected their power towards him.】

【The enemies of Huaxia! The enemies of humankind! They used their own power to help Marshal Fighting God survive, or rather, to keep him clinging to life.】

【They dared not let Marshal Fighting God die!】

【They feared what catastrophic events would occur if he died!】

【But the more they feared, the more frantic they became, and the more Marshal Fighting God was determined to face death, wanting to instill fear in the enemies by sacrificing himself.】

【At that very moment, the great Star God sensed Marshal Fighting God’s intentions.】

【Marshal Fighting God used the threat of self-destruction to suppress and lure them, buying enough time for the great God of Wealth to prepare for his own sacrifice.】

【Otherwise, the outcome of the War of 75 might not have been as favorable as it is today.】

【After all, there were so many powerful demigods on the opposing side, and they could guess the horrific events that would follow the God of Wealth’s sacrifice, yet they still did everything to keep Marshal Fighting God alive without stopping the sacrifice.】

【This shows that in their eyes, the death of Marshal Fighting God was more serious than the sacrifice of the God of Wealth or the great Star God ascending to demigod status!】
