Chapter 374: River of Time Skincare Products

The Star God gazed at Su Wen, once again falling into silence.

The more casually Su Wen spoke, the more it pained him.

He wasn’t naive; he could clearly sense the immense pressure hidden beneath that lighthearted tone.

The weight of the entire nation, the whole world, and even the universe rested on Su Wen’s young shoulders, and it was only a matter of time before it crushed him.

After all, the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space was only in his twenties.

And without the title of God of Wealth, Su Wen was still just a kid.

Was it fair to burden a child like this?

"God of Wealth,"

Yuan Bao appeared beside him and said, "Under the backlash of Time and Space, you can feel that your time is running out."

"So, let’s go back on our own terms!"

"Otherwise, if we wait for the backlash of Time and Space and the heavens to strike, your death might be… well, undignified and unpleasant."

Su Wen stared at Yuan Bao for a moment before suddenly asking, "Yuan Bao, if I die from the backlash of Time and Space, can I file a complaint with the river of time?"

"As a major client, if I die from their backlash in their own domain, isn’t that a solid reason to demand compensation?"

"So, asking the river of time for some reparations is totally fair, right?"

Yuan Bao’s eyes sparkled with mischief. "Hold on, God of Wealth, let me file that complaint for you."

With that, Yuan Bao closed his eyes.

A moment later, he opened them and said, "God of Wealth, the river of time says this kind of rejection by the heavens and the backlash of the order of time and space is unavoidable. After all, you’re not a native of this Time and Space."

"Only because you’ve built a good relationship with the river of time… otherwise, you’d have been wiped out by a string of bad luck on your very first day here."

Just then, a voice echoed in Su Wen’s ears.

[Dear God of Wealth! Do not panic or despair over the actions of the order.]

[This is a natural part of the workings of Time and Space, a reflexive rejection of beings from the past and future.]

[But rest assured, as you cross time and space more often, the backlash you face in the future timeline will gradually lessen, until one day, it will vanish entirely.]

[Of course, if you still have ties to this Time and Space, the river of time can intervene and negotiate within the order of time and space.]

[For just ten million riches, you can stay here an extra year.]

[For fifty million riches, you can extend your stay by ten years.]

[For one hundred million riches, as a wealthy, kind, and refined individual, you can enjoy thirty glorious years here.]

[Dear God of Wealth, please choose what feels right to you. If you’re unsure, the river of time recommends the last option.]

[The river of time guarantees that if you stay in this Time and Space for more than twenty years, you’ll receive a premium package service.]

[The package includes the following:]

[One: A skincare set from the river of Time, crafted from the power of time and space, refined through countless processes.]

[Two: Two boxes of drinking water from the river of Time, personally sourced, purified, and disinfected, which can enhance your cultivation potential and insights with long-term use.]

[More surprises are included in this delightful package.]

[Actions speak louder than words; Great God of Wealth, don’t hesitate, place your order now!]

[Being able to stay in this Time and Space and enjoy the rhythm of its beauty is also a joyous occasion for the river of time.]

Su Wen: "……"

The river of time has even come up with skincare products and drinking water?

Has their scope expanded this much?

And those three renewal packages—definitely the work of the dark river!

No surprise there!

Everything revolves around wealth, and Silent River was right—as long as I have enough riches, I can do whatever I want.

But back in the main Time and Space, there’s still a mountain of tasks waiting for me!

This time, a major breakthrough in martial arts!

The fate bearers, the Arrow Realm, and the Demigod clan have also made significant progress.

He also learned about the inheritor of the Star God’s essence.

In Arrow Realm sequence number 4827, there’s a clan called the Zi Chen Clan.

However, this clan is incredibly low-key, so much so that you wouldn’t think they had a divine inheritor among them.

It wasn’t until the Star God’s revival, when the divine authority returned to him, that he locked eyes with the Star God inheritor within the Zi Chen Clan and gained a basic understanding of each other’s information.

Arrow Realm sequence number 4827 is located in the most prosperous capital of the nine river systems within the Zi Chen realm.

The Zi Chen royal family!

The second prince!

Knowing the name makes many things much easier.

The Zi Chen clan was one of the first to manifest the Arrow Realm portals in the year 2024.

They probably never imagined that the long-fallen Star God would be reborn over a decade later.

They could never have anticipated how their low profile would lead to such an unforeseen exposure.

[Impulsive God of Wealth! You ignore the river of time’s advice and insist on an explanation.]

[The river of time is helpless; normally, it wouldn’t entertain such unreasonable demands, nor would it treat an agitated customer kindly.]

[But who can blame the river of time? The God of Wealth is a good friend, after all.]

[When a good friend throws a tantrum and demands an explanation, what else can the river of time do but indulge them?]

[So, after a vote by everyone in the river of time, if you wish, they will grant you a Grand Return Ceremony.]

[Moreover, the river of time guarantees that your Return Ceremony will be free of any discomfort.]

[On the contrary, you’ll be treated with the warmth of returning home.]

[Great God of Wealth! Please believe that the friendly river of time is nothing like the treacherous River of Fate.]

[The river of time always considers its customers’ opinions and makes timely adjustments.]

[But the River of Fate? It’s rigid, inflexible, stubborn, and a bit hot-headed…]

[The river of time has said enough; one day, you’ll understand this.]

Su Wen’s expression remained unchanged. To him, the mutual criticisms between the river of time and the River of Fate were no surprise at all.

Even if it escalated to insults or a grand, never-ending war, he’d grab some soda and popcorn to enjoy the show.

He could see now that the relationship between the river of time and the River of Fate wasn’t just that of simple competitors.

There was something deeper, though he didn’t yet know what.

But he believed he’d figure it out in the future.

“A Grand Return Ceremony, huh?”

Su Wen smiled slightly, thinking, “That sounds pretty good.”
