Chapter 477: The Ancient Clan’s Scheme Against the God of Wealth

Later, as Su Wen pressed for answers, the Star God skillfully steered the conversation to other topics. When the Star God didn’t want to talk about something, no amount of clever questioning could make him budge. Who could outwit the Star God and get him to reveal his secrets? In this vast universe, anything is possible! But that person certainly wasn’t Su Wen, a young man in his twenties.

“By the way, didn’t you ask about the Bug Spirit Clan before?” the Star God suddenly changed the subject. “Back then, the war was chaotic, and the matter was quite complicated. Now that the war is over, I can finally explain it to you properly.”

“The transformation abilities of the Bug Spirit Clan—we’ve explored them in this Time and Space. Essentially, it’s about using your power of Wealth Source to awaken the deep bloodline power within the Bug Spirit Clan and the powerful force inherited from their ancestors. Honestly, without your cross-temporal support, it might have been very useful for us. After all, with millions of Wealth Sources invested, the Bug Spirit Clan could still produce a high-stage Emperor Level Bug Spirit.”

As he spoke, the Star God waved his right hand, and images of various Bug Spirits appeared in the air, along with formations and Wealth Source allocations based on the Ancient Techniques passed down by the Bug Spirit Clan. At first, they had high hopes for the Bug Spirit Clan. But soon, disappointment set in. It’s not that the Bug Spirit Clan is weak—it’s just that their power grew too quickly due to the combined results from multiple Time and Spaces. Some of the Bug Spirit Clan simply couldn’t keep up.

To be honest, the Star God had his doubts from the start. How could a clan trusted by the Great God of Wealth of the Eighth Era—even entrusted with the Divine Artifact, the Wealth Gathering Basin—be so weak? They couldn’t even reach the Demigod level, let alone the Emperor Level limit. After pouring billions of Wealth Sources into experiments, he finally gave up on the idea of the Bug Spirit Clan being powerful. Perhaps the Bug Spirit Clan of the past was strong, but the Bug Spirit Clan of the Ninth Age? Not so much.

So, when the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space inquired, the Star God was ready with solid arguments. He used the Bug Spirit Clan’s limits as his main point, their massive resource consumption and low combat power as evidence, and their incomplete legacy as further proof. His goal was to convince the main Time and Space to abandon any plans of cultivating the Bug Spirit Clan.

“But what if the Bug Spirit Clan simply lost their powerful ancient legacy?” Su Wen interrupted, looking at the well-prepared Star God. “What if I’ve managed to retrieve it through some means?”

The Star God was silent for a moment. “…Why didn’t you mention this earlier? If you had, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time explaining all this!”

Most importantly, I had prepared a long script and gathered all the necessary materials, ready to present them, only to be told that all these materials and statements are incorrect?

"What is the upper limit in terms of Level?"

The Star God paused for a moment before asking seriously.

"I don’t know."

"???"

"Don’t look at me like that; I didn’t even know about the god king level before!"

"So… is it possible for the Bug Spirits Clan to produce a powerful being at the god king level?"

"That’s a possibility!"

"!!!"

The Star God’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly asked, "So, do you fully understand the powerful methods of the Bug Spirits Clan?"

The Bug Spirits Clan has such immense potential?

All that effort they put into trying to extract powerful potential from the Bug Spirits Clan seems wasted now.

After all, both the distant history of the Bug Spirits Clan and the ancient records of various clans mention that the Bug Spirits Clan was a powerful subordinate of the God of Wealth.

Yet, despite their strength, the Bug Spirits Clan has left them with no solutions.

Hmm… they originally planned to explore the potential of the Bug Spirits Clan and then provide feedback to the main Time and Space upon their arrival.

They didn’t expect that it would be the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space providing feedback to their current time.

"Yes."

Su Wen nodded and said, "I obtained the complete methods of the original Bug Spirits from the Fighting God of the First Age."

"However, after so many ages of change, when I communicated with the Battle Masters, we generally believed that in today’s universe, there should be more profound secret techniques than the transformation methods of the Bug Spirits from the First Age."

The Star God shook his head and said, "Not necessarily; some secret techniques, those born in the early generation, may be more powerful."

"And those that evolved later might not be stronger; they might just be more adapted to the trends of their time."

"Thus, becoming common and weak aligns with the overall trend."

As he spoke, the Star God paused, then continued, "And in our Ninth Age, we need the methods created during the era of martial virtue of the First Age, which carry the wild and rough energy."

"Sometimes, we don’t need to think too much; we just need to focus on being strong!"

"Of course, techniques refined and improved by other ages can be referenced as well."

"When we truly grasp them, we can strategically adjust based on the situation later on, can’t we?"

"Ultimately, the First Age is the closest our universe has been to victory, to smashing the Remnant Universe."

"The later ages are not up to par!"

"The further we go, the worse it gets!"

"Just look at what our current age has become!"

"So, you still follow the methods taught by the Fighting God; perhaps in the end, we will have unexpected gains."

Su Wen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that’s what I think too."

"Then, shall we take this time to visit the Bug Spirits Clan?"

"In fact, there’s a more direct reason that could allow the Bug Spirits Clan to suddenly become powerful during their early stage."

"Uh…"

The Star God helplessly said, "God of Wealth, please just finish your statements about the matters at hand in one go next time."

Su Wen, unbothered by this, revealed the plan he discussed in the trading space with the Battle Masters to eliminate the Bug Spirits Clan to awaken the powerful Phantom Beast Clan from the First Age.

"This method can be considered."

The Star God thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"If we are going to try, let’s attempt to activate the remnants left by the powerful Phantom Beast Clan; even if it is weak, it will still be stronger than the current Bug Spirits Clan."

Su Wen changed the subject and suddenly asked, "Oh right, don’t you have the memories of the Star God of the Eighth Era? Logically, there should be relevant information about the Phantom Beast Clan."

"I don’t know; the memories of the Star God of the Eighth Era don’t even mention the term Phantom Beasts, not even once!"

"……"

"So I speculate that there might have been some changes to the Phantom Beast Clan in the Seventh Age or even earlier."

The Star God said, "Or perhaps the calculation of the Remnant Universe against the God of Wealth had already begun before the Seventh Age."
