Chapter 373: The Great Development Phase of Changing Winds and Clouds

After Jiu Ying finished speaking, his body soared into the air.

At the same time, his casual attire instantly transformed into pitch-black battle attire.

A mask adorned with patterns of the Shadow Path appeared on his face.

The moment the mask obscured his features, a horrifying killing intent, like something from the depths of hell, erupted from him.

The killing energy stirred the heavens and changed the azure sky to a bloody red.

The world began to shake, and blood moons, blood suns, and blood skies… each representing brutal slaughter, manifested continuously in the sky.

The killing avatar of the Shadow God!

At the moment the enemy approached, it finally began to reveal its brilliance to the world.

At this moment, the Star God, who was handling affairs, and the Fighting God, who was discussing battle strategies, both sensed it and looked out the window.

When they saw the overwhelming killing aura manifesting outside, their faces darkened.

Because they knew, Jiu Ying… was about to leave.

Though Jiu Ying had never let them call him teacher, after teaching them for two years and imparting so much knowledge, in their hearts, he had already become their teacher.

Moreover, as the killing avatar of the Shadow God of the Eighth Era, he qualified in every way to be their mentor.

They understood that Jiu Ying would leave; after all, the battlefield at the border was the stage for Jiu Ying to shine.

But when this day arrived, they still felt time passed too quickly.

"One day, I hope we will meet again!"

The Star God walked to the window, gazing at the sky, and whispered.

On the other side, the Fighting God stared at Jiu Ying’s figure recklessly unleashing killing intent, remaining silent.

"I hope that in the future, we can fight side by side!"

"And… General Mo Ziling holds you in high regard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Ying transformed into a streak of dark light and shot into the clouds.

In the next moment, a series of faint explosive sounds echoed from afar, as if a grand war was happening in an incredibly distant area.

Soon, the people of the main realm noticed beautiful shooting stars streaking across the distant sky.

"Mom, look! The shooting stars are so beautiful!"

In the Imperial Capital, a little girl held her mother’s hand and pointed at the sky.

"Yes!"

The young woman, referred to as mother, looked up at the sky and softly murmured, "So many shooting stars; they really are beautiful."

……

After Jiu Ying’s departure, the main realm entered a brief period of peaceful development.

Especially with the voluntary allegiance of various Demigod clans, the speed of the Human Race’s advancement grew faster and faster.

For some races hostile towards the Human Race, the combined efforts of the Star God and Su Wen quickly made them realize their limited perspective and the historical fact that their territories had always belonged to the Human Race. Without resorting to warfare, the Star God and Su Wen managed to resolve conflicts and even win over opposing clans with just a visit, marking a significant chapter in human civilization’s history.

According to the God of Wealth’s records, these years marked a period of rapid and transformative development.

"On April 15, 2156, the renowned Demigod clan, the Fengluan Clan, influenced by the God of Wealth’s vision of peaceful development, voluntarily joined the Human Race community alliance."

"On May 1, 2156, the esteemed Demigod clan, the Hunter Clan, moved by the God of Wealth’s counsel, tearfully recalled their ancestors’ glory and joined the Human Race community alliance."

"…"

"On February 5, 2157, the notorious Demigod clan, the Terror Clan, under the God of Wealth’s persuasion, voted unanimously to join the Human Race community."

"On August 12, 2157, the Soul Reapers Clan, known for their brutality, touched by the God of Wealth’s benevolence and inspired by the grand ideals of both the God of Wealth and the Star God, abandoned their violent ways and voluntarily joined the Human Race community alliance."

"…"

"These records highlight the remarkable charisma and unique values of the great God of Wealth Leader and the great Star God leader, leading many races to submit."

"This era is also known in history as the Year of Grand Unity!"

Su Wen sat in a high-tech conference room, flipping through a history book and chuckling softly.

Beside him, the Star God asked gravely, "God of Wealth, are things getting worse lately?"

Since Jiu Ying left, Su Wen’s luck had been on a steep decline.

Getting hit by meteors while out had become a regular occurrence.

Even mundane activities like eating and drinking began to result in choking, a streak of bad luck typical of ordinary people, now uncontrollably affecting Su Wen.

Those in the know understood that the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space… might indeed be preparing to depart.

This timeline seemed to be rejecting the God of Wealth from the main Time and Space.

"Yes," Su Wen replied, "I feel it will be within the next few days."

Honestly, this ending experience in the sub-timeline was quite novel.

With Jiu Ying shielding him from disasters, and the formidable powers of the Star God and Fighting God, along with tight security measures, strange events had unfolded.

Jiu Ying had mentioned that the appearance of the black chimney on his forehead likely signaled his return.

"Sigh," the Star God sighed softly, pausing before speaking, "You… won’t need to worry about us once you return."

"You’ve done more than enough."

"Your presence has significantly altered the situation here."

"Both the Fighting God and I are confident that within a century, our powers will reach new heights."

"So, there’s no need for anxiety or hesitation. Perhaps every time you cross time and space, the final outcome isn’t ideal."

"But each new sub-timeline always develops better and stronger than the last."

"That’s truly enough."

"As we grow stronger, our enemies will fall one by one. One day, we will overcome the cunning descendants and achieve victory!"

The Star God paused, then added, "Perhaps your ability to cross time and space through the power of the river of time is significant in this way!"

"If one day in a future sub-timeline, we achieve ultimate victory without relying on any foundation from previous eras, then the main Time and Space will surely welcome an even greater triumph!"

"The worst outcome is still victory. Can the main Time and Space really be worse than the sub-timelines?"

The God of Wealth wandered alone across the battlefield of time and space.

Without companions!

With no support!

Bearing the hopes and immense pressures of countless timelines.

He couldn’t even imagine the trials the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space would face after witnessing the joys and sorrows of each timeline.

In such circumstances, would he go mad?

He didn’t know, so he could only do his utmost.

The God of Wealth was said to be great, but no, he did not feel great himself.

On the contrary, he believed that the God of Wealth was the greatest!

In a piece of soul-soothing advice, it could be summed up as… perhaps only the greatest person can endure this solitary and lonely journey through time and space until the end!

"I understand," Su Wen looked at the Star God, smiled slightly, and said casually, "Every journey through time and space brings different sights, sounds, and feelings."

"For me, it’s like a fantastical journey."

"Isn’t it?"
