Chapter 309: Granting You Freedom

“Sir, I’ve got some great news for you!”

“Stop worrying about backup plans; soon, you won’t need any of that.”

Su Wen stepped out of the God of Martial Arts’ office and, not seeing the God of Theater around, started calling out.

In the next moment, the God of Theater appeared before Su Wen, looking a bit disheveled.

“What’s the good news?”

“Wait, what were you up to just now?”

Su Wen was slightly taken aback by the God of Theater’s appearance.

How could the second most powerful being in the world end up looking like this?

“I was in the middle of engraving something, but I felt you calling me, so I dropped everything and came right over!”

The God of Theater waved his hand dismissively, not bothered by his messy state.

He was genuinely curious about what good news the God of Martial Arts had for him.

The sphere of insights wasn’t something the God of Martial Arts would shout about; he’d just hand it over when they met.

So, this good news had to be something big!

But, to be honest, his understanding was limited. In his mind, the sphere of insights—something that could allow someone to gain countless insights, enter a state of enlightenment, and save decades of hard training—was already a divine gift!

He wouldn’t have believed such a thing, capable of crossing time and space, even existed if the God of Martial Arts hadn’t shown it to him.

As for something even more powerful than the sphere of insights?

He’d never seen it, and because of that, he couldn’t even imagine what it might be. That’s why he was so excited.

So excited, in fact, that he abandoned his important task and rushed over, looking like he’d just been through a storm.

“Take a look at this.”

Su Wen waved his hand, and an immortal crystal floated into view.

“This is…”

The God of Theater studied it for a moment, then asked, puzzled.

He could tell this thing was extraordinary, but he couldn’t figure out how it would be useful to him.

The sphere of insights gave him an instinctive craving, but this crystal just made him feel like he was looking at a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

“This crystal can make you an immortal half-god.”

As soon as those words left Su Wen’s mouth, the God of Theater froze.

“How?”

Snapping out of his daze, the God of Theater asked eagerly.

Half-god!

Still an immortal half-god!

This is amazing!

The God of Martial Arts truly lives up to his reputation!

He always manages to bring the greatest surprises!

Just when we thought the sphere of insights was the limit of the God of Martial Arts’ abilities, there’s an even bigger surprise waiting!

“Bite your finger and write ‘Time and Space Fool’ on the crystal with your blood.”

Su Wen said, “Once you do this, the power of immortality will bless you, and the path to becoming an immortal half-god will open.”

The God of Theater: “……”

Time and Space Fool?

The only Time and Space he knew of was the grand and mysterious Time and Space maintainers, right?

Never mind, he must be overthinking it.

How could maintaining endless space, endless time, and even vast and varied abilities—encompassing all that is known and unknown in the river of time—be connected to this?

And to be called a fool for it?

“God of Martial Arts, this Time and Space Fool…”

The God of Theater couldn’t help but ask. The God of Martial Arts had previously mentioned that becoming an immortal half-god was a legendary demi-god level, requiring the blessings of the great river of time to ascend.

Now, the God of Martial Arts had brought forth this power of immortality.

Yet it was labeled as Time and Space Fool.

Using common sense, this must surely be something done by the opposing side of the river of time!

“Yes, it is the river of time.”

Su Wen replied without hesitation, nodding.

After a moment of silence, the God of Theater asked seriously, “If I absorb this immortal crystal and become an immortal half-god, does that mean I stand against the river of time? Will we be enemies of the river of time from now on?”

Su Wen: “?”

What opposing side?

What is going on here?

God of Theater, aren’t you overthinking this a bit?

“No.”

Su Wen shook his head and said, “Sir, the river of time is my friend. It’s fine; just absorb it!”

“After you absorb it and ascend to become an immortal half-god, we will take advantage of the celestial officer’s patrol and directly wipe out the Holy Spirit clan!”

“By then, everything belonging to the Holy Spirit clan will be ours.”

“Our Huaxia will truly prosper with this battle!”

The God of Theater: “……”

The river of time is your friend?

What a joke!

If such a grand existence is your friend, why should we worry about the future?

Even the tiniest speck of dust from such a being could elevate everyone to a higher realm.

Though the Holy Spirit clan is hypocritical, the information in the ancient writings is still somewhat reliable.

To this day, he can’t forget the words recorded in those ancient texts.

The world believes the river of time is bound by the rules of heaven and earth, unable to act. But who knows? The river of time might just be sitting high above, watching the world’s debates with amusement, choosing not to intervene.

If it ever does, the heavens will collapse, the earth will shatter, order will crumble, time and space will reverse, darkness and light will swap places, and life and death will coexist…

Most importantly, the God of Martial Arts is clearly operating behind the scenes, using money to communicate with the future.

If the Time and Space maintainers find out, they’ll unleash their thunderous wrath!

That would spell disaster!

Today’s events confirm his earlier suspicions.

The God of Wealth’s power likely taps into some force within money, exploiting a loophole in the river of time to briefly connect with the future.

Maybe even bringing back treasures and products from the future through that loophole.

Time and Space Fool!

These four words are clearly a secret signal from a terrifying existence on par with the river of time.

Or perhaps a pledge of allegiance!

The God of Martial Arts’ ability to cross time and space shows he’s already taken a side—against the river of time.

Now, the immortal crystal before him is likely another declaration of allegiance.

What they’ll face is a terrifying existence so powerful, it spans infinite realms and is beyond comprehension!

But the God of Martial Arts has exhausted all his strength to give him the chance to become an immortal half-god. How could he refuse such kindness?

River of time!

Even if he doesn’t want to oppose you, since the God of Martial Arts has made his choice, he… will stand in front of him, shielding him from the storm!

Then, he’ll do everything he can to grow stronger.

He’ll strive to hold his ground, even if just for a moment, when the terrifying disaster of the future arrives!

“Child, you’ve worked hard,” the God of Theater said, looking at Su Wen with deep compassion.

How much effort must the God of Martial Arts have put in to get this immortal crystal?

Just thinking about it makes his heart ache.

At his age, he now relies on a junior to make such sacrifices for him.

What a shame!

“God of Martial Arts, I won’t let you down!”

“If I ever achieve true godhood, from the highest heavens to the Yellow Springs, I’ll use every method and scheme to cut through all obstacles for you!”

“I’ll set you free!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the God of Theater bit his finger hard, not caring about the blood.

As the blood formed the words “Time and Space Fool” on the immortal crystal, an obscure wave of fate surged from within it.

This was the sign of fate’s ultimate protection fading.

In the next moment, time and space trembled, and all fell silent.

Immortal refining—

begins!
