"Why is this life-saving crystal acting strangely now?"
Su Wen closed the office door, puzzled.
In the previous Sub-Space-Time, the Star God initially said that this crystal had a life-saving function.
Only later did I truly realize that his real thoughts and intentions were mixed in.
This crystal will only be triggered once we reach the Main Space-Time.
But it's been over a month since I came back, and I've even taken a trip to the Sub-Space-Time No. 02, and only now has this life-saving crystal been activated.
Did I somehow meet the triggering conditions without my knowledge?
"Boom!"
In a daze, a roar like a planet exploding echoed in Su Wen's mind.
When he regained his senses, he found himself in a starry world where stars swirled and cosmic landscapes unfolded.
"God of Wealth, it's been a long time!"
The Star God smiled and said, "Although I don't know how much time has passed, I know it must have been a very long time."
"Because the trigger condition I set involves three changes in your surrounding environment."
"This is the first time we've returned to the Main Space-Time from our own."
"Starting from the Main Space-Time, we'll travel to our next sub -Sub-Space-Time; this is the second time."
"Returning from the next Sub-Space-Time will be the third time."
"The reason I set this trigger condition is so that you can judge my actions after you've experienced the next Sub-Space-Time."
"Perhaps your opinion will be different."
The Star God paused, then asked, "What? Have we made significant progress in the next Sub-Space-Time?"
Su Wen: "..."
How should I put it?
The Star God were excellent and quite accurate.
The crystal was indeed triggered after I traveled through time and space once.
However, the way this time and space was traversed may have deviated slightly from what the Star God had predicted.
"You've miscalculated this time, because I'm not going to the next Sub-Space-Time."
Su Wen said helplessly, "I went to the Sub-Space-Time No. 02 this time, and when I came back, the life-saving crystal you gave me was triggered."
Across from him, Star God nodded and smiled, "See? I knew our future was definitely heading in a positive direction."
"?"
"God of Wealth, you must have hope for our future!"
"??"
"Especially your Main Space-Time, with the experience accumulated from countless Sub-Space-Time, how could you possibly lose to a mere Remnant Clan?"
"???"
Su Wen looked puzzled, then walked into the Star God and waved his hand haphazardly in front of him.
After discovering that the Star God did not react, he knew that this was probably a pre-recorded projection by the Star God.
A little disappointed!
He had initially thought, "Wow, Star God has some impressive methods!"
Incredibly, a wisp of his consciousness was transported across time and space in this way.
It now seems that whether or not we can take this path across time and space depends on the transport capacity of the River of Space-Time and the River of Fate.
"Alright, I won't hide it from you anymore."
After a sigh, the Star God spoke, "I originally intended to Soul Severing and place it inside, to see if it could return to the Main Space-Time with you."
"But then I thought about it, and because of the existence of the Space-Time Maintainer, this path probably won't work."
"So I gave up on that and instead put a pre-recorded projection here to answer some of your questions about Sub-Space-Time."
"Now that you have returned from the next Sub-Space-Time, it means you have some answers to many questions."
"That's right. Before you arrived, I was indeed relying on the power of the Eighth Epoch Star God."
"Using the Ancient Star Art, I secretly drew upon the powerful and boundless energy of the Eighth Epoch Star God to help myself attain the power of the God King Realm."
"This ancient technique does not consume the common energy of blood and soul, and even the true spirit is not affected in any way."
"The only requirement is that the caster has sufficient knowledge of the recipient, and then uses a single object as the core to bear the power of time travel from the past to the present."
"As you know, I received the memories of the Eighth Epoch Star God."
"Therefore, I understand him very well!"
"Furthermore, the Star God's Divine Seat can serve as the core carrier, making everything seem just right."
At this point, the Star God smiled freely and continued, "Of course, I also know that the price of relying on power, especially for someone like me who has inherited the memories of the Eighth Epoch Star God, is that at a certain point in time, I might lose myself."
"Lost in the power and memories of the Eighth Epoch Star God."
"..."
Across from him, Su Wen listened quietly.
He already knew much of what the Star God was talking about.
But he knew in his heart that the Star God must have had some purpose in leaving this projection.
If it were just to explain these things, it wouldn't be meaningful.
Then, with the Star God's explanation, Su Wen understood the Star God's plan.
He never despaired about the future or about his Remnant Clan.
What is truly despairing is the future world, which seems full of hope but is actually tinged with profound despair.
He knew that even if the Eighth Epoch Star God returned, it wouldn't be of much use to the current situation.
In fact, she's not even as good as him.
After all, people trust him, but they may not necessarily trust the Eighth Epoch Star God.
He and the Eighth Epoch Star God are ultimately two different people.
But he thought, since he couldn't change that future tragedy, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to a predecessor from the Eighth Era, a strange game-changer?
"God of Wealth, I remember you asked me before, 'Why is my head full of white hair?'"
The Star God spoke softly, but the slight tremor in his voice revealed the complexity and turmoil in his heart.
"After I became True God, I obtained all the secret methods, ancient techniques, mystical arts, supernatural powers, and various wondrous arts possessed by the Eighth Epoch Star God."
"On a whim, I couldn't resist doing a fortune-telling session about the future."
"A divination to predict your future."
But do you know what?
"I've taken all the factors into account, and this deduction is based on the Divine Seat of the Main Space-Time, whom you claim to possess power that transcends time and space."
"That supreme God of Wealth of Main Space-Time Space-Time Maintainer and space and the guardians of Fate Maintainer, and who is shrouded in wonder and miracles!"
"But what I got was a future that was destined for success, but would never include you!"
"Based on the life force of the True God and rooted in the soul power of the True God, I have repeatedly disrupted the sequence and rearranged it!"
But I still can't see a future with you!
"Your Majesty Grand Eminence on Duty the Ninth Era!"
"After winning the final battle, after everyone was jubilant, he vanished without a trace from the anticipated happy ending."
Is it ironic?
Is it ridiculous?
Su Wen frowned as he listened to Star God's words.
When protected by the River of Space-Time and the River of Fate, can the Star God truly divine one's own situation?
Do you think my divination was wrong?
The Star God suddenly said, "But I must clarify one thing: what I am doing is not divination of the future!"
"It's about deducing arithmetic!"
"Using computing power and objective material information, and by adding and removing various types of information, we present a true future!"
