"But as the supreme commander of the Mountain and Sea Main Battlefield, was the Star God still holding the defensive line there?"
"Huaxia had almost completely fallen, and so many alien creatures had poured in and begun slaughtering people. Was there still any need to defend the Mountain and Sea Main Battlefield?"
"If that didn't work, couldn't Huaxia's top fighters retreat first? Even if that let the alien creatures' top fighters enter too, they could at least establish a stable shelter, couldn't they?"
"Preserve the embers first, then slowly build things back up..."
At that thought, Su Wen sighed again.
He suddenly felt there was no need for these thoughts of his.
Were the people at the main battlefield so stupid that they couldn't think of these things?
There had to be a reason they hadn't come back.
Perhaps the consequences of retreating were even more severe than those of the alien creatures massacring people in Huaxia!
"Even now, I still have no idea which alien creatures humanity was at war with."
Su Wen rubbed his brow and thought, But those insect-like alien creatures should be one kind.
Those insects were the ones who raised their butcher's knives in the imperial capital.
I just don't know where they came from. A Rule Arrow Realm that appeared near the imperial capital?
What puzzled him most now was what he could actually do.
The Martial Dao cultivation method had improved, and the upper limit of Martial Dao had risen. That was a good thing!
Under normal circumstances, things in Huaxia should have gotten better.
If it wasn't the Basic Body Tempering Method, then was it... the Wind God?
If the Wind God was a traitor, and he was certain the Wind God would kill him, he would definitely make a move against the Wind God when he got the chance.
So would the Wind God's death cause such a huge change in Huaxia?
Su Wen suddenly shook his head, casting the thought out of his mind.
By that line of thinking, he might as well obediently wait for death and not resist at all.
If the Wind God didn't die, Huaxia would only be in danger.
But if the Wind God died, all of Huaxia might be done for.
He would have to keep watching to see what had actually happened.
[You searched the area belonging to the Giant Wood Fortress inside and out several times, but aside from some food and a hand-drawn map, you found no other information.] [Clearly, keeping a diary was a habit shared by only a very small number of the resisters.] [Downhearted God of Wealth! After learning of the situation Huaxia now faced, your heart burned like fire, and you desperately wanted to find more information.] [But you also knew full well that the imperial capital had fallen and suffered a massacre. Aside from the suicide squads sent from the human rear, there could hardly be any other humans alive here.] [How will you plan the rest of your journey?] [One: Search for other suicide squads near the imperial capital and use them to gather information about the future space-time.] [Two: Follow the direction indicated on the map to the human shelter in the rear, and seek the information you want among those last remaining flames of humanity.]
Su Wen thought for a moment and made his choice.
[Timid God of Wealth! You believed the fallen imperial capital was too dangerous, and that you could encounter vicious insect swarms at any moment. So you decided to follow the map to the human shelter in the rear.] [But the greatest danger you face now is how to get out of the imperial capital region, where danger lurks at every turn.] [And you seem to have no sense of direction. It is hard to imagine that, with a detailed map of the entire country laid out before you, you, the God of Wealth who has crossed from ancient times to the present, cannot make out the directions marked on it.] [With no other choice, you could only rely on your instincts and the position of the sun to judge the general direction.] [Following the map...]
Su Wen: "..."
To be honest, if a paper map were placed in front of him, he really wouldn't know how to read it.
It wasn't that he had no sense of direction. The main thing was that the maps he usually saw most were maps of Huaxia's territory and maps of the world.
Besides, people used smart maps for directions when they went out. Who would go running around the world with a hand-drawn map for no reason?
Unfortunately, in the future world, electric power had been lost, and electronic devices had become scrap metal.
Just imagine the people of the future space-time without electronic devices. Leaving aside the lack of entertainment, daily life alone would be extremely inconvenient.
Without electronic technology, human civilization had regressed by many years in an instant.
"What year did the dark era in the diary... actually correspond to?"
Because pages were missing from the resister's diary, he didn't know what year the dark era had occurred in.
Without a specific time, he didn't even know which battlefield's fall had caused the power failure. Giving random warnings about something this big... could cause serious trouble!
[Lonely God of Wealth! While fleeing the imperial capital, your cautious nature allowed you to avoid many dangers.] [Along the way, you encountered three flying insects out foraging.] [The flying insects spotted you and attacked.] [While fleeing, you discovered that the flying insects were no match for you, and you counterattacked.] [You killed three flying insects.] [You used the God of Wealth's divine power to swiftly refine the corpses of the three flying insects.] [Wealth Source Points +0.0001.]
Seeing this, Su Wen sprang to his feet, excitement on his face.
What did that mean?
When he traveled to the future through Wealth Source Space-Time, he could also obtain Wealth Source Points by using Refinement there?
If so, that was simply fantastic!
He wouldn't have to worry so much about the cost of Wealth Disrupts Space-Time anymore. Perhaps he could even recoup its cost this way.
Although the Wealth Source Points he gained from refining the three flying insects were few, equivalent to only a thousand yuan in money,
in the end, that thousand yuan was essentially free.
Most importantly, the number of alien creatures in the future space-time was outrageously large, with insect tides surging everywhere. He could gain something while getting rid of enemies for his compatriots in the future, so why not?
Wealth Disrupts Space-Time had been losing money all along. Now that he could use it to recover Wealth Source Points, why would he complain about getting too few?
Even a mosquito's leg has meat on it!
Free money was sweet, even if it was only a thousand yuan!
"I just wonder whether I can refine the mountain ranges in the future space-time. If I can, I could refine them every time I go there. I'd strike it rich!"
Su Wen thought happily. Of course, he knew this idea of his was most likely just wishful thinking.
Still, on the whole, it was good news, and it briefly washed away the oppressive feelings in his heart.
In fact, he didn't expect much of a return from Wealth Disrupts Space-Time. As long as he could break even, everything would be fine!
What did breaking even on Wealth Disrupts Space-Time mean?
It meant getting something for nothing!
The joy of getting something for nothing surpassed everything else!
[Greedy God of Wealth! After testing your skills and discovering that you could refine flying insects, you were extremely excited.] [Unsurprisingly, you set your sights on the flying insects constantly flitting about nearby. In your eyes, these flying insects were no longer alien creatures, but mobile Wealth Source resources.]
