"Mistress Rui, it's not that I'm worried."
Su Wen said, "It's not that you would do this after you knew about it."
He dared not say he understood everything about Master Rui's personality, but he did have some understanding of her approach to Battle Master.
This is simply the most affectionate love story in the world!
Despite feeling distressed by the many romantic escapades committed by the Battle Master, all he could think about was the Battle Master's return!
The implication was that as long as the Battle Master returned, she could disregard everything else.
"Since you already know, why did you bring it up in front of me?"
Rui asked, "Is it because you can't bring yourself to do it, and you want my help?"
"Although killing the Battle God of this era is somewhat contrary to my human pursuits and certain vows I made in the First Era."
But a vow is, in the end, just a vow.
"If you want Dou back but can't bring yourself to do it, then I will!"
"Rest assured!"
"I will ensure that your comrade dies peacefully, even joyfully, without inflicting the slightest pain upon him."
At that moment, her reason told her that she couldn't do such a thing.
Back in the First Era, when she joined the South-Subduing Legion as a member of the Current Battle God's army, she swore an oath to be loyal to the Battle God and protect the universe!
But after hearing what the two younger people said and getting the answer she had been longing for, her rationality was on the verge of collapse.
To put it bluntly, as long as Su Wen dares to nod in agreement...
The next moment, the Battle God will be enjoying the warmth before heading towards his death.
"Mrs. Rui, could you please bear with it for a little while?"
After a moment of silence, Su Wen suddenly said, "At this stage, the Battle God still has its uses."
"You can't die yet!"
Rui stared at Su Wen for a while, making Su Wen feel a chill down his spine.
Then he took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the Star God.
"You're telling me this because you're hoping I'll leave this clone here in the future too."
"After you leave, Little God of Wealth, will you continue to help your comrades and hold down the fort here?"
"Of course, there's another reason."
"Telling me about this in advance, so I can be aware of it, is good for preventing unforeseen events from happening in the future, right?"
"For example, the Battle God was abducted by powerful members of the Remnant Clan beforehand, to prevent us from killing Battle God and to welcome his return."
"If you tell us the truth when this actually happens, we might launch a furious attack, but the situation will definitely be very passive."
"Now you're letting us know, partly to calm our nerves, and partly to keep a close eye on the Battle God so we can act in advance if we sense anything amiss, right?"
Beside him, the Star God nodded slightly and said, "Senior's insight is remarkable; we did indeed have such thoughts."
Rui's idea was actually correct.
They revealed that such an arrangement did indeed exist.
But that's not the most important thing.
The veterans of the First Era were good to the God of Wealth, and the God of Wealth knew this as well.
However, the fall of the Battle God is also related to the realization of the long-cherished dream of the veterans of the First Era.
Even if all that returns is a world-destroying corpse, does that matter to the veterans of the First Era?
He didn't know!
Therefore, he could only use this method to test the possible reactions of the veterans of the first era in this timeline!
To provide some experience materials to the Main Space-Time.
If, after learning of this, the other side disregards everything and completely ignores their arrangements, insisting on killing the Battle God and bringing back the world-destroying scene of the Current Battle God.
After that, it's best to keep quiet about this matter in the Main Space-Time.
If the other party can suppress their inner turmoil for the time being, then some things will be easier to arrange.
"It seems you've already included this in your implementation plan."
Rui said softly, "In that case, let's proceed according to your plan!"
"We've already waited eight epochs, what's a little longer?"
As she spoke, Rui paused, then looked up at the sky and murmured, "And I also need some time to erase the traces of eight eras left on my body."
"And that deathly stillness and unstable emotional fluctuations... Dou wouldn't like those."
Most importantly, the old me wouldn't like the current me either.
"The changes that time and experience bring to a person are truly beyond imagination!"
Su Wen nodded slightly. One era was already an outrageously long period of time, let alone eight eras.
Perhaps two hundred years is a very long time for the Ninth Era.
But for the older generation from previous eras, two hundred years... might not even be as long as a nap during their seclusion.
Two hundred years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically!
In the future, I will inevitably have to traverse a much longer timeline and witness even more dramatic and unpredictable developments.
So he had been mentally preparing for this for a long time.
"Buzzing..."
Suddenly, in the distant sky, a faint yet sharp aura echoed around.
"Little God of Wealth, it's time for you to leave."
Rui looked up at the sky, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly spoke seriously.
"I see."
Su Wen looked at Rui and nodded solemnly.
The next moment, thoughts connected across the River of Space-Time.
Return!
He originally wanted to talk to the Star God and his mistress Rui about some things.
But Master Rui had told him before that the repulsive reaction of spacetime had reached a point where it could attract some powerful beings.
In time, she might not be able to protect herself.
Therefore, if she asks me to leave in a solemn and serious manner, then I must leave immediately.
"Boom----"
A deafening roar echoed around, and then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the sky of the Main Realm, including the desolate world of the outer battlefront, was filled with the spacetime power radiating silver light.
At the same time, countless beams of light descended, carrying the divine aura of time and space, Transcendence any other power in the universe.
This overwhelming power, clearly not belonging to this universe, and the terrifying aura that caused the surrounding world to tremble slightly, transformed at this moment into a celestial ladder and handrails, as well as various creations around it.
With utmost respect, we welcome back the wealthy and powerful Incumbent God of Wealth on duty!
"Was that a big commotion?"
Su Wen chuckled to himself; the commotion in the River of Space-Time this time was indeed significant, but it was within expectations.
After all, the amount of Wealth Source I've spent here this time is the highest in history!
In fact, all the previous sub- Sub-Space-Time consumption combined didn't amount to even a fraction of the Wealth Source he spent this time.
For such a major client to use even the smallest resources to welcome me, creating such a world-renowned, even globally shocking, return ceremony... seems... quite normal, doesn't it?
