Chapter 399: Probably Still Asleep

"Alright, I’ll pass your words on to the Great God of Wealth!"

The Star God said solemnly after a brief pause.

He knew the Great God of Wealth could communicate with the future.

But he never expected the Great God could also influence the past.

Now, with both past and future covered, this stage is truly radiant!

Of course, both of them understood perfectly well.

The so-called victory of the Eighth Era was nothing but empty talk.

Given their mutual understanding, there was no need to spell out the final outcome.

Who among them didn’t get it?

If the Eighth Era had won, would there even be a Ninth Age?

So, Star Eight’s request—for the Great God of Wealth to provide more support for the Eighth Era—was simply to drain the Remnants’ power during that time.

Since the Ninth Age is heading toward the final battle, weakening the Remnants in the Eighth Era would be a good thing.

Or, if they could use the Eighth Era to boost the Ninth Age’s strength and resources, that would be a huge advantage in their current situation!

Honestly, he didn’t even feel the need to explain this to the Great God of Wealth.

Even without saying anything, the Great God would probably give his all to support the past!

After all, the Great God isn’t the Fighting God.

“By the way, I have a question.”

The Star God asked, “How many divine fate bearers are there in the Eighth Era?”

Star Eight replied, “The will of the cosmos chose only nine divine fate bearers, representing the self-rescue of the nine ages of the cosmos.”

Each age has one true god on duty!

And each divine fate bearer has unique abilities, meaning the cosmos will save itself from nine different directions.

This is also why they knew the Great God of Wealth would be on duty in the Ninth Age—he’s the only true god who’s never served before.

“I know there are nine true gods on duty.”

The Star God said seriously, “Right now, the God of Sleep, the God of Fate, and the God of Heaven haven’t shown up at all.”

“At the same time, we’ve added the God of Magic, the God of Frenzy, and the God of Freedom as divine fate bearers.”

Star Eight sighed and said, “As for the God of Sleep, the God of Fate, and the God of Heaven, I’ll explain them after I answer your second question.”

“About the God of Magic, the God of Frenzy, and the God of Freedom… I don’t know the specifics of your Ninth Age, so I can’t say for sure.”

“But there are a few possibilities.”

“One, if their divine attributes and skills are similar to yours, and your promotion limits are locked, making the divine ranks incomplete, then it’s likely these divine fate bearers split off from your divine ranks.”

“If that happened, it means after my death, the Remnant Universe launched a fierce counterattack, and Jiu Ying and the others suffered a brutal defeat.”

“The other possibility is that after our era’s fate bearers become true gods, the attribute panels given to them by the will of the cosmos will change.”

“Although they still don’t measure up to our divine fate bearers, they can… at least call themselves divine fate bearers.”

“Take my Star Army, for instance. There are a few among them, like the Star God of the Broken Wolf, the Star God of the Celestial Pivot, and others like the God of Frenzied Wolves and the God of Power.”

“There are plenty of cases like this.”

“Some claim the title themselves, while others are acknowledged by the will of the cosmos.”

“So, the situation in your Ninth Age really depends on how you interpret the realities you face.”

Here, Star Eight paused, then continued, “Now, let’s talk about the ones you’re curious about: the God of Sleep, the God of Fate, and the God of Heaven.”

“If the God of Sleep hasn’t shown up, he’s probably still sleeping.”

“The God of Sleep has an original talent—he can heal his injuries or fix his flaws by sleeping deeply.”

“For example, if his divine rank is incomplete, he’ll fall into a long, restorative sleep the moment he awakens.”

“Through this extended slumber, he can fully restore his divine rank.”

“Of course, once his rank is complete, any scattered remnants of his power will lose their potency, as dictated by the will of the cosmos.”

“As for the God of Fate, he’s a real mystery.”

“Or rather, his divine rank is mysterious.”

“Hmm… it’s also pretty baffling. Honestly, I still don’t get how the God of Fate’s rank is determined.”

“Back in the Eighth Era, one of my comrades didn’t even realize he’d awakened as the God of Fate and become a divine fate bearer.”

“The God of Fate’s rank automatically hides its divine aura and name based on external conditions.”

“In simpler terms, he disguises himself as an ordinary fate bearer.”

“Not only do others not know, but even the God of Fate himself is unaware of his true identity.”

“So, it’s perfectly normal if you can’t find these two divine fate bearers or if they haven’t appeared yet.”

“I’d suggest looking for the God of Fate and the God of Sleep within your own national and ethnic regions—they’re most likely there.”

“Because of the true god on duty, all nine divine fate bearers chosen by the cosmos will almost always belong to the same nation.”

“This means that if you’re still judging kinship by a narrow national perspective, I can almost guarantee that the God of Sleep and the God of Fate are your fellow countrymen.”

“After all, all divine fate bearers from an era will randomly appear near the true god on duty, guided by the will of the cosmos.”

Hearing this, the Star God’s eyes lit up with understanding. They had been puzzled by these matters before, but now it made sense!

This meant that since the Great God of Wealth descended among the Chinese people, they would all be Chinese!

Wherever the Great God appears, they’ll follow.

In other words, they and the Great God are destined to be comrades and close kin!

This is the will of the cosmos at work!

Perhaps it’s also to help the true god on duty manage everything more effectively?

“As for the God of Heaven?”

Star Eight looked up at the sky, paused for a moment, then said, “The God of Heaven is usually very proud.”

“Jiu Ying has suspected the God of Heaven because of some of her actions and even tested her.”

“We all know the Remnants’ infiltration into our ranks has never stopped.”

“Under certain circumstances, their infiltration has become even more relentless and pervasive. Even I’ve been forced to discuss matters with the Remnants’ high-ups due to their clever schemes.”

“On top of that, with battle reports constantly going missing and our discussions being leaked to the Remnants almost instantly, the God of Heaven’s behavior starts to seem a bit odd.”

“So, I’m not surprised Jiu Ying has his doubts.”

“But… someone as proud as the God of Heaven? I don’t believe she’d ever betray us!”
