[Battle God, you don't need to unleash your power to investigate, nor do you need to use the power of the rules to delve deeper.]

[What I left behind was not a divine manifestation, but merely a projection recorded in the past.]

[I know where you are and can speak with you because I have foreseen your current actions and words, so I can only have a brief conversation with you.]

[And this projection of mine will dissipate after I have said what I wanted to say.]

Don't be sad. As long as the God of Wealth is there, our fate is not sealed, and we still have a chance to start over.

[The Star God projection looked at the Battle God and leaned in to comfort him.]

[Then the Star God slowly turned around and looked at your location.]

[The God of Wealth of Wealth from the past, long time no see.]

[Although I just talked to the Martial God a few days ago, you and the Martial God are different after all. Strictly speaking, it's been more than twenty years since we last saw each other, hasn't it?]

The reason I left this projection is to answer your questions.

[And this question took me a long time to understand.]

[When the Martial God discovered he could no longer travel through time, and our timeline became Sub-Space-Time for exploring the correct path to the future, he told me about several events that occurred in these Sub-Space-Time.]

[In one of those timelines, he talked about my experiences with rampages.]

[This incident made him wonder, was my reason for killing madly and sacrificing myself simply to intimidate the enemy forces in the Arrow Realm?]

[And then there's the chance to catch a glimpse of the scenery from even higher up; the Martial God always felt that he wasn't such a narrow-minded person.]

[Most importantly, since I went on a killing spree in that timeline, why didn't I make the same choice in the later Sub-Space-Time -Sub-Space-Time after his demise?]

[Actually, the Martial God overestimated me; I might really be that narrow-minded.]

[After all, knowing that one's own timeline has been relegated to Sub-Space-Time means that everything could be rewritten, so why endure it?]

It's time to make those arrogant outcasts pay a heavy price!

[Unleash your full power, disregard all consequences, burn your divine soul, ignite your very essence, and slaughter to your heart's content, carving out a bright and clear world!]

[The differences between the Sub-Space-Time and the subsequent Sub-Space-Time that define me troubled the Martial God.]

[But the difference is actually quite simple; I also understand my own decisions within the timeline of the "Mad World" incident.]

[When I learned that you, the God of Wealth, could transcend time and space, especially since you, from the Sub-Space-Time, proactively told me this top-secret information, I, in my maddening timeline, knew that this was a test from the God of Wealth of the Main Space-Time.]

[Testing my credibility!]

[Perhaps you in the Sub-Space-Time believe in me and trust me, which is why you came to tell me this.]

[But when you, the future Main Space-Time, Descender, my decisions, my choices, and my actions during this period will become a standard by which you judge whether the Star God is trustworthy.]

[However, if some decisions I make that I cannot disclose lead the God of Wealth of Wealth in the Main Space-Time to believe that I am untrustworthy, or at least not entirely trustworthy, then things will become complicated.]

[Even the rise of Huaxia will encounter strong obstacles.]

[Especially after learning of your ability to travel through time, I realized that some of my plans had lost their meaning and value.]

[Intrigues and underhanded tactics are nothing but castles in the air, crumbling at the slightest touch before absolute power and the overwhelming trend of the times.]

[And you, the God of Wealth of the Main Space-Time, represent the inevitable trend!]

[So the simplest, most direct, and least misleading way to gain your trust, to let you know that the Star God is credible, is to use all my power to fight my way through the Arrow Realm for you!]

[To exchange the life of a Sub-Space-Time Star God for the trust of the Main Space-Time God of Wealth in the Main Space-Time Star God, I think it's worthwhile.]

[Putting myself in their shoes, if I were the Star God in that timeline, I would have taken the same measures.]

[Perhaps there are other ways that don't require such a radical approach. Perhaps I can devise a plan to gain your absolute trust in another way.]

But all these schemes are merely manipulating people's hearts, and those who manipulate people's hearts will ultimately suffer the consequences.

[If that's the case, why go through all that trouble?]

Wouldn't it be easier to win your trust using the purest, most direct, and forceful methods?

[Other methods, no matter how perfectly planned, will leave traces once they are designed by humans.]

[I wouldn't even take a one-in-a-billion chance, and I imagine my past self wouldn't take that gamble either.]

[So, God of Wealth of the Main Space-Time, have your doubts been answered?]

[God of Wealth of Wealth, who traverses time, tramples on order, and bribes the guardians of spacetime! After receiving answers from your comrades, have some of your inner doubts been resolved?]

Do you also feel ashamed for having once doubted the Star God's decision?

[You are clearly the most reliable comrade-in-arms and the most trustworthy partner, yet you are timid and cowardly, hesitant to use even the most powerful weapon in your hand. How can this demonstrate the power of the God of God of Wealth?]

[A true God of Wealth can disregard the order of time, bribe even the Space-Time Maintainer, cleave spacetime with a single palm strike, and overturn the heavens with a single kick.]

The schemes of mere ants are utterly futile in the face of true power!

Su Wen's gaze sharpened upon seeing this.

So that's the real reason why the Star God went berserk in that timeline!

The Star God knew he was being tested, so he simply used the most direct and straightforward method that would least cause him misunderstanding to prove his innocence.

All I can say is, the Star God Star God truly lives up to his name!

In fact, there was an inescapable reality behind his trust in Star God: if Star God was a traitor, then there was no point in continuing the relationship.

He could also find a place to just sit around and do nothing.

What's the point of playing anymore?

Most importantly, he couldn't imagine why the Star God was a traitor.

If the Star God is a traitor, why did he expend so much effort developing the Body Refining Art in the initial timeline?

Why should you give yourself Star Weapon when you're undergoing trials with the God of Wealth?

With the Star Grand Array covering Huaxia, wouldn't it be simpler to directly locate and kill those God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer?

If it's because of the Theater God singer... is that possible?

With the Star God's intelligence and talent, if he truly wanted to do such a thing, would anyone else have discovered it?

Who knows, after learning what happened, the relatives and friends of those who were murdered might come crying to the Star God for help.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Star God wanted to cause trouble, he could sell people out and everyone else would be counting the money for him!

"Is this Narrator... just another attempt to mislead?"

Su Wen felt rather helpless as he read the following lines of Narrator.

He was initially quite moved by the Star God's words, but the Narrator's actions made him feel uneasy.

Although the narrator didn't say it Narrator, the implication was clear.

Speak!

Tell me already!

Reveal your talents and abilities in the Main Space-Time!

Let's see who dies faster!
