Chapter 344: The Faith of the God of Wealth’s Army

Su Wen looked at Li Tianxue for a while and then gave up on arguing with her.

It was clear that she had a deeply ingrained image of the brutal God of Wealth due to her lack of information.

But he knew very well that no matter how much this version of the God of Wealth in this time and space tried to mimic the real one, he couldn’t possibly be the same.

Otherwise, the river of time would never have allowed him to appear here. According to the logic of the river of time, having two identical individuals in the same time and space would only lead to chaos!

So, the more convincing the impersonator was, the more dangerous he would be to deal with!

Especially since the impersonator could use the God of Wealth’s divine authority to elevate Path of Wealth Fate Bearers—had the legacy already infiltrated to such an extent?

Beside him, Li Tianxue was thinking along similar lines.

This senior had been in seclusion for too long and had just emerged; there was much he didn’t know.

So, it was understandable that she judged him based on her own preconceptions.

Seeing that he had stopped speaking, she also chose to remain silent.

She decided to give this senior some time to adjust.

After all, the situation had changed so rapidly over the years that even those who had lived through it were struggling to keep up, let alone an old-timer who had been in seclusion for so long.

Most importantly, given his strength, she felt it was only right to respect his perspective.

Staying silent was her way of showing respect for his power.

“By the way, when I arrived, I mentioned that my strength was at the seventh-level,” Su Wen said after a moment of silence. “And yet, a seventh-level seems to be considered quite impressive.”

“Was there some great war in recent years that wiped out the higher-level warriors?”

Li Tianxue was momentarily stunned, then replied, “Senior, for a Fate Bearer, seventh-level isn’t particularly noteworthy. But for a warrior, seventh-level is indeed very strong.”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow. “What’s the current limit for martial arts?”

In the last sub-timeline, martial arts had advanced to the eighth level.

Even if this sub-timeline hadn’t progressed further, it shouldn’t have regressed, right?

Could it be that the wars of recent years had destroyed the legacy of martial arts?

“Ninth level,” Li Tianxue answered.

“If it’s the ninth level, then why would seventh or eighth-level warriors cause such a stir?”

“……”

Li Tianxue paused, then a look of understanding crossed her face. “Senior, you’re a Demigod, so it’s natural for you to think that ninth-level warriors are common.”

“Even the warriors you might have met before your seclusion were likely ninth-level.”

“But that’s because your level and status are so high—only the top warriors of Huaxia would have had the chance to meet you.”

“For the average person, fifth and sixth-level warriors are already incredibly powerful beings.”

“Especially in this era, after so many great wars, both sides have suffered heavy losses.”

“A seventh-level warrior might not be anything extraordinary to the headquarters.”

“In the army I lead, a seventh-level warrior is considered to have mid-to-high combat power,” Li Tianxue said, pausing briefly before continuing, “The person who led you here is just a captain, and his strength is only at the sixth level.”

“It’s natural for a sixth-level warrior to admire the strength of a seventh-level warrior, isn’t it?” Su Wen nodded slightly, realizing he had overthought the situation. He had initially worried that the great war from a few years ago, which determined humanity’s fate, might have caused a significant gap in human elite combat power. Fortunately, the situation wasn’t as bad as he had imagined.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed nearby, followed by the beating of war drums.

“Senior, my current military command is to intercept the approaching 50,000 soldiers of the God of Wealth’s army,” Li Tianxue said after receiving the message. “Please wait a moment, senior. Once I complete this command, I will take you to meet my senior brother.”

With that, Li Tianxue respectfully bowed to Su Wen. She felt no need to ask for his help explicitly. Given the senior’s close relationship with her master, she was confident he would step in if she were in danger. If there was no danger, there was no need for him to intervene. Everything was understood without words.

“All troops, assemble!” Li Tianxue’s voice echoed, and the nearby Rebel army quickly gathered. Meanwhile, under the guidance of Li Tianxue’s two personal guards, Su Wen stood at the rear command center. He didn’t need to participate in this war—at least not unless he chose to. Li Tianxue had no authority to order a Demigod into battle, nor would she dare. Commanding a friend of her master? Even if Su Wen didn’t mind, her master would surely give her a thorough scolding if he found out. She had experienced her master’s “care” once before and had no desire to relive it. That was a real beating—no holding back, every punch landing with full force.

“God of Wealth’s army…” Su Wen’s eyes shifted as he activated super-tier magic to observe. He wanted to see for himself and get a direct sense of the future appearance of the God of Wealth’s army. Under his gaze, a neatly formed and orderly battalion, armed with standard weapons, came into view.

“Brothers!”

A young man clad in a golden battle robe bellowed loudly, his cape fluttering behind him, emblazoned with the true visage of Su Wen.

As the wind danced around him, it stirred the spirits of the many warriors in the God of Wealth’s army, igniting a spark of fervor in their eyes.

God of Wealth!

God of Wealth!!

That was their creed!

At the command of their leader, they would march forward without a second thought, even if it meant facing death!

Any hesitation would be a betrayal of their deepest convictions!

“Now, the rebels lie just ahead!”

“And we shall fight for our great God of Wealth Leader and for the people who live in peace and prosperity behind the lines!”

“This battle!”

“We will surely triumph!”

As his words faded, a chorus of roars erupted from the God of Wealth’s army, resonating through the heavens!

“God of Wealth!”

“God of Wealth!!”

“God of Wealth!!!”

“……”

Amidst their fervent cries, the soldiers of the God of Wealth’s army were consumed by a burning excitement; they yearned to charge forward, to expend their lives and vigor for their God of Wealth Leader.

At this very moment, only one thought consumed their minds.

This battle!

We will surely triumph!

An army forged from the fires of extreme devotion, especially one that is the direct force of the God of Wealth, had been nurtured with high-level training from their youth; the resources lavished on each soldier far surpassed those of other warriors in society.

Thus, even at the same Level, ordinary warriors would be swiftly dispatched by the soldiers of the God of Wealth’s army within mere moments.

“Such a devout army for the God of Wealth, huh?”

Su Wen observed the fervor of the God of Wealth’s army, the intense faith burning in the soldiers’ eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

Did these soldiers realize that their leader had already fallen victim to Possession?

They had given everything for their belief, yet the one they harmed was their true comrade in arms?

If they were to learn this truth, their worldview and faith would likely shatter in an instant!
