"You're here again."
The Star God shrugged and waved his hand, saying, "The founding patriarch of Martial Dao can only be you."
"You were you in the past, you are you now, and you will be you in the future..."
"This is universally acknowledged; what does Martial Dao have to do with me?"
After a pause, the Star God said, "Tell me, without you, would Martial Dao have what it is today?"
Su Wen retorted, "Without you, there would be no Martial Dao as we know it today, wouldn't there?"
The Star God raised an eyebrow and said solemnly, "Are you going to debate this relationship with me? If you want to debate, let's make a bet, and add a stake to it. Otherwise, there's no point in just arguing with words."
Su Wen: "..."
To engage in debate with Star God is practically suicide.
What kind of madness must I have felt to argue with the Star God?
To put it bluntly, even if he was in the right, the Star God could use a few words to shift the advantage to his side.
Even someone as simple and honest as the Battle God knows that he cannot argue with the Star God about this.
Otherwise, if you are led astray by the Star God's words and fall into Star God logical trap, it will soon become a reality.
"However, your Martial Dao talent will definitely crush anyone who dares to challenge you."
Su Wen changed the subject, smiling as he said, "I think with your help, we might be able to break through the Demigod bottleneck this time."
The Star God did not respond to this.
Because he felt it was very risky, according to the future five hundred years that the God of Wealth experienced, the upper limit of Martial Dao would still be at the level of Demigod.
How could the Martial Dao cultivation system undergo such a drastic change simply because the God of Wealth knew some future trends?
It's not like the God of Wealth brought back the achievements of Martial Dao from 500 years in the future before he returned.
Based on these achievements in Martial Dao, if they develop for another five hundred years, they might break through the bottleneck of Demigod.
Forget about it now!
"By the way, how's the communication going across the River of Space-Time?"
Star God looked at the cheers of the crowd in front of him and asked softly.
"Still the same as always."
Su Wen shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "They didn't care about the Wealth Source I Refinement in the Sub-Space-Time, and they only agreed to let me use the Wealth Source of the Sub-Space-Time to buy things after I threatened and bribed them."
"And they are extremely covetous of the Wealth Source of the Main Space-Time!"
"Black River has tried to sign an interest-free loan agreement with me more than once."
"This means that the Wealth Source I spend here can be paid for later, and I can settle the debt in one lump sum after I return to my original identity in the Main Space-Time."
Su Wen paused, then continued, "What's even more outrageous is that Black River actually said he could lower the price tenfold if I agreed!"
"To be honest, I have an idea right now."
"Did Black River send me here with my future memories to relive this experience just to swindle money from me?"
"After all, I am now the consciousness of the Main Space-Time. If I agree, I probably won't be able to keep the money I've saved up in the Main Space-Time."
"Even if He lowers the price tenfold, or even a hundredfold, that little bit of Wealth Source still wouldn't be enough to cover our expenses for over four hundred years of continuous operation!"
After a moment of silence, the Star God suddenly asked, "Then will you sign this treaty?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wen fell silent.
Should we sign it?
If he signs, it means he will use the Main Space-Time's Wealth Source to subsidize the Sub-Space-Time.
This is contrary to his original intention and his initial decision.
But to be honest, it's not that he hadn't considered it.
After all, this spacetime is almost exactly the same as the Main Space-Time where he grew up.
The only difference is that he can no longer travel through time and space.
Having lived here for eighty years, I have developed a deep affection for this place and time.
Reason told him that the Main Space-Time was everything!
However, emotions can sometimes cause rational thinking to deviate slightly.
Eighty years, eighty years of time... for him, that is almost his entire life experience.
If this continues, will he use the Wealth Source of the Main Space-Time to overcome future crises?
He dared not think about it, but he felt that if that day really came, perhaps it would!
After all, he does have feelings.
It's called the Sub-Space-Time, but to him, is everything here any different from the Main Space-Time?
"Just kidding!"
The Star God chuckled and clicked his tongue lightly, "See? You hesitated!"
"From now on, when this idea arises in your mind, don't hesitate!"
"Perhaps from our perspective, there is no difference between the Sub-Space-Time and the Main Space-Time."
"But how can the Sub-Space-Time be equated with the Main Space-Time?"
"One is an extension, the other is the main vein!"
"Even if the extensions are gone, as long as the main thread remains, the extensions still have a future!"
"But if the main vein dies, then... will the extensions still have a future?"
As he spoke, Star God waved his hand in front of Su Wen.
"Although you have spent eighty years here, you must always remember that you are merely a passerby in this world."
"This is not where your roots lie."
"So... God of Wealth, you need to learn to be a little more ruthless."
"Don't be too emotional, or I'll worry about whether you'll be able to survive in the endless Space-Time Battlefield in the future."
"After all, what we've been through here might just be the beginning for you."
Upon hearing this, Su Wen looked up at the laboratory ceiling.
After a moment, he asked softly, "So, if you were in mortal danger in the future, I could have used the power of the Main Space-Time to save you, but I rationally chose not to. Do you think my actions were right?"
Without hesitation, the Star God said, "That's right."
"Absolutely no mistakes?"
"No!"
"Then shouldn't I feel even the slightest bit guilty?"
"There's no need. There are countless Sub-Space-Time. I'm just an insignificant member among the Star God of Sub-Space-Time. There's no need for you to feel guilty for me or for us."
"..."
"God of Wealth, your path is difficult, so I will support all your decisions, even if they are wrong."
"..."
"In the future, if anything happens, don't doubt, don't hesitate, be ruthless, and do what you have to do. We will all understand."
"..."
"We are your comrades-in-arms, so our existence must never become a source of emotional restraint for you, or even a major source of psychological pressure."
"..."
Su Wen turned his gaze to his right hand, which was raised in the air.
The Star God stood aside, saying nothing more.
And so, she quietly stayed by Su Wen's side.
The eerie atmosphere centered around the two was quickly noticed by the crowd cheering and celebrating ahead.
The cheers from the crowd abruptly ceased.
Although they didn't know what had happened, the God of God of Wealth and the Star God didn't seem to be very happy.
Therefore, ending the celebrations and returning to our respective positions to continue research and development is the wisest choice right now.
After a long pause, Su Wen sighed softly.
"I see."
"Actually... I understand all these principles, it's just that deep down I'm a little unwilling to admit it."
"Well, I'm over a hundred years old now, I really can't be as carefree as a child anymore."
