"I suddenly realized that our Ninth Era also has a very impressive background."
The Star God said with a smile, "Both the Space-Time Maintainer and the Fate Maintainer are on our side. How could we possibly lose this battle?"
"And what I once imagined, what I doubted about my own beliefs, and what were the most incredible and illogical perceptions, turned out to be the most real reality."
"I can only say that reality is too surreal."
"Perhaps this is the reality that doesn't follow logic!"
"But to be honest, I like this reality."
As he spoke, Star God gently patted Su Wen's shoulder.
"You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. It's just that there are a lot of bleak prospects ahead, isn't it?"
"But our background and network of connections are far superior to those of the Remnant Clan."
"When your personal abilities aren't exceptionally outstanding, and you don't stand out from the crowd, connections and background become the most important factors."
This applies not only to the intricacies of the mundane world.
"You might say that we have money, and the Space-Time Maintainer are our resources."
"But you can still use money to contact them, while the Remnant Clan... don't even have a way to contact them!"
"Furthermore, you have more than one powerful being who has traversed the chaos standing behind you!"
So relax, just focus on saving and making money.
"It seems I need to change some of my thinking."
"I'll help you make money, and once you have enough, you can simply hire the Space-Time Maintainer to take over the fight."
Su Wen remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "I think you might not fully understand the extent of the ruthlessness of the maintainer you're talking about."
Next, Su Wen briefly recounted the wicked deeds of the River of Space-Time to the Star God.
Especially before the River of Fate appears, they use all sorts of tricks to deceive and fool themselves.
The Star God listened, lost in thought.
Is it possible that the discounts River of Fate are actually aimed at lowering prices in the River of Space-Time?
"Because of the Sub-Space-Time timeline, has your main Wealth Source income recently been coming from the Sub-Space-Time?"
"And Sub-Space-Time are created by those Space-Time Maintainer."
"I don't know why the Space-Time Maintainer wants the money in your possession. I can't confirm that right now; we'll have to wait and see."
"But there's no denying that He wants your money."
"So, by going to the Sub-Space-Time to obtain Wealth Source, in a sense, wouldn't you be considered to be sucking the blood of the Space-Time Maintainer?"
"After all, the formation and creation of Sub-Space-Time both originate from the Space-Time Maintainer."
"Then those Space-Time Maintainer and space will use all sorts of means and rhetoric, even resorting to a humble and groveling attitude, to siphon money from you with certain products."
"Think about it carefully, isn't this quite reasonable?"
"These rare and precious materials, or various valuable products, after being filtered through your hands, become treasures that even the Space-Time Maintainer covet."
"You take something from Him, use that to make something else, and then the other party uses what you need to exchange for what He needs from you."
Isn't this the very contradiction between private labor and social labor?
"But all things considered, you also benefited from this process, didn't you?"
The Star God paused for a moment, then said, "As for the equally great Fate Maintainer, I am not familiar with them, so I cannot comment on them."
"But judging from the underlying transaction logic, you're taking what belongs to the Space-Time Maintainer. If you then turn around and give that money to the Fate Maintainer, wouldn't that be a huge profit for the Fate Maintainer?"
"As for the issue of discounts?"
"Forget about discounts of 90% or 50%, as long as the money you have is useful to the Fate Maintainer,' we'll sell it off like crazy!"
"Anyway, for us, the harmful trash peeking out from under the fingernails of those Space-Time Maintainer and those Fate Maintainer are probably priceless treasures that we can only dream of."
Su Wen: "..."
He understood everything the Star God had said earlier, and even thought it made a lot of sense.
But the last sentence... how should I put it?
That makes a lot of sense, but it's a bit harsh.
He had already grasped this point before, but when the Star God spoke of it, especially when he uttered the last sentence with increasing excitement, he still felt somewhat helpless.
The gap between the two sides is too large.
So he can only be caught between two rivers; to put it nicely, he is a tea-serving master, standing on both sides.
But realistically speaking, as a tiny ant, I can only rely on my small advantages to slowly develop myself by eating scraps in the struggle between the two rivers.
"Don't overthink it. When doing things, focus on the process for good things, and on the result for things that aren't so great."
The Star God spoke up, "Don't even mention how respectful the Space-Time Maintainer is to you, or how friendly the Fate Maintainer is to you..."
As they were talking, the Star God felt that what he was about to say was not quite appropriate, so he changed the subject and subtly altered the meaning of his words.
"Put yourself in my shoes. If I were in your position, even if the other person insulted me, looked down on me, and used all sorts of tactics to attack my character and trample on my dignity every day..."
"But as long as it contributes to the prosperity of our country, I know that if the insults I receive can help our nation thrive and our friends live, then I can completely ignore them."
"To put it bluntly, if I received such a huge benefit, I'd be nervous if they didn't yell at me or kick me a couple of times."
Su Wen chuckled, realizing that was indeed the case.
However, the source of his pressure was not the River of Space-Time or the River of Fate.
Moreover, he didn't know the true situation of these two rivers, and out of respect for the potential tragedy and the variety of ways he might die, he dared not make any overly optimistic predictions.
A century has passed in the blink of an eye.
Even now, he can't guarantee whether they'll have the strength to fight the Remnant Clan of the ancient race when they actually go to the Frontier Battlefield.
After all, the future he had glimpsed was merely the result of methods employed by the Remnant Clan, which had already overwhelmed them.
Without exception!
"From the moment I received this news today, I firmly believe that the future is bright and promising!"
The Star God looked around, and the void and violent spatial storm, the void gale representing death, seemed so lovely and friendly in his eyes at this moment.
"I remember you saying that to me more than once before."
Su Wen seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice.
"Before, it was just to offer comfort."
The Star God smiled slightly and said quite frankly, "But this time, it's for real!"
Everything is different now!
