After a brief exchange, Star God and Su Wen discovered that Rui had manipulated her memories through self-hypnosis.

Simply put, she was unaware of the Battle God's return.

The words Su Wen had just spoken to her were selectively modified by her to portray Su Wen as knowing about the Battle Master and then receiving guidance from the Battle Master under a special opportunity.

Subsequently, the Ninth Epoch God of Wealth addressed this old fellow from the First Era as his Master's Wife.

Hmm... Although there was a slight mishap in the middle, if it weren't for this Sub-Space-Time, Rui Shi Niang's self-modification of her memories wouldn't actually be wrong.

The ones that should match up, actually all do match up.

Unsurprisingly, Madam Rui stayed by Su Wen's side.

On one hand, she noticed the aging effect on this God of Wealth, and on the other hand, she learned about Su Wen's current strength through conversation.

True God!

How could Your Majesty, a dignified ruler, possess the power of True God?

On the other hand, Su Wen is the only one in all these new eras who has any connection with fighting.

Staying by the side of the God of Wealth, protecting and teaching him, is perhaps a kind of expectation that Dou has for himself across endless time and space.

"Um?"

Upon returning to the presidential conference room, Star God's eyes flickered.

"God of Wealth, would you be interested in learning about the military and political system we've developed over two thousand years, under the dual blows of the remnants of the Remnant Clan and the Descenders?"

"Um... didn't you handle these things before?"

Su Wen was taken aback. In the Main Space-Time, the Heavenly Mandate Bearer and the Martial Dao world had only just begun to take shape.

As the chief, the Star God has met many people.

Sometimes he not only needs to meet with those Heavenly Mandate Bearer and martial artists, but also with some very influential elites from all walks of life.

Fortunately, the Star God possessed the ability to create clones and had formidable computing power; otherwise, even if he filled every minute and second of every 24 hours in a day, he still wouldn't have enough to handle such a large undertaking alone.

When he experienced those five hundred years in the previous Sub-Space-Time, the Star God had complained to him.

In particular, the social network and interpersonal relationships that have been passed down in Huaxia since ancient times mean that even if one is powerful, there are some people one still has to meet and cannot avoid.

He had considered helping the Star God with some of the political affairs, but the Star God said that these trivial matters should not affect him, the Great Lord.

"Yes, I handled the vast majority of it."

The Star God nodded and said, "But if there are some people I really can't be bothered to see, yet can't avoid, I'll have the God of Theater God see them for me."

The Star God paused, then changed the subject, saying, "God of Wealth, do you know why I still wear this mask, concealing all my information and never showing my true face?"

Su Wen stood aside without saying a word; his first thought was that Star God was the most reliable.

Even now, with the Star God's immense power, standing at the pinnacle of the universe and wielding supreme military and political authority, he is fighting the Remnant Clan Descenders the east and the Remnants in the north.

However, it's always safer to Star God it safe until you have absolute certainty.

At a deeper level, the Star God Mask may still possess the power to fight against the Remnant Clan.

But since the Star God said so, it's highly likely that what I said is wrong.

If that's the case, then I'd better not say anything more.

Listen!

"More than a thousand years ago, when the Battle God was at the True God Realm, he went to the Frontier Battlefield and sparred with a True King of the Remnant Clan."

The Star God said softly, "That time, although we didn't win, we were also injured."

"But the Battle God also knew that as long as he wanted to run, the True King of the Remnant Clan couldn't kill him."

In other words, he already possesses the combat power of God King.

"After that, he came to me and said he wanted to take off the mask on his face and not show his true face to people. He always felt like something was blocking his heart, and it was very uncomfortable."

"That's understandable. The God of Combat seeks only a righteous and honorable path."

"Furthermore, we had already been God King for many years by then, and we had made all the necessary arrangements and precautions for our family and friends."

The Star God paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, after we became God King and possessed considerable combat power, the Remnant Clan no longer dared to openly or secretly harm our relatives and friends."

"After all... it's not like they're the only ones who will take action. The shadow cast by Baili Chaoge is one we can cast as well!"

"After the Battle God comes the Wind God."

"You know that the Wind God likes to show off in front of people."

"But the world only knows Wind God, not Bai Zifeng, which already makes him very upset."

"So the day after the Battle God took off his mask, he came to me and told me about it."

"More than a hundred years later, seeing that everyone had taken off their masks without any problems, Xiao Ying slowly took off her mask as well."

You should know why the "Theater God" didn't take off his mask, right?

"In the Fifth Era, Baili Chaoge was too ruthless in slaughtering Remnant Clan Remnant Clan, wiping out nearly half of the Remnant Clan True King' descendants."

"The Remnant Clan Universe, a universe that has endured countless eras and is now mired in decline."

"Just think about it, how many descendants would those True King have after countless years of development?"

"I heard from acquaintances among the Remnant Clan that the Fifth Era was an era of discontinuity for the Remnant Clan Remnant Clan, and also an era of continuous mourning and turmoil."

Su Wen's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he exclaimed, "Baili Chaoge is amazing! He did what I've always wanted to do but never had the chance to!"

"It seems that in the next Sub-Space-Time, we should prioritize considering this Incumbent True God."

"I really want to talk to them right now, and ask them what it feels like to wipe out the entire Remnant Clan."

It's no surprise that the Remnant Clan was furious about what Baili Chaoge had done.

But putting myself in Baili Chaoge's shoes, if I were that powerful and had countless incredibly strong subordinates, I would probably do even more ruthless than Baili Chaoge.

They only killed half of the Remnant Clan of the True King?

Isn't that a bit too little?

Since I was going to die anyway, when the final battle began, I directly stormed into the Remnant Clan Universe Remnant Clan Universe, found the weakest area, and fought fiercely there.

Ideally, just smash it to pieces!

What is there to fear if you're not afraid of death?

However, Baili Chaoge has already done quite well to reach this point.

After all, there are some of their own people in the Remnant Clan Universe; what if they get caught in the crossfire?

"The reason I didn't remove my mask, or even reveal my real name, and instead used the code name ' Star God' in all my actions, is because I didn't want to be interfered with by internal or external forces."

The Star God's gaze was calm as he murmured to himself, "When I was the Star God, many things that I found repulsive would never have appeared on my desk."

"But once I am myself, and I am not just Star God, then everything... will be different."

"Family matters, friendships, and the various interpersonal relationships encountered during the process of growing up."

"Even... some of those people we didn't take seriously, but who were important figures in the secular world at the time."

"And what about those former beneficiaries who didn't gain a dominant position in this world upheaval and rebuilding of the entire order? Will they cause us trouble once they know all our information?"

"Perhaps in the end, the problem will be resolved."

"But if we can nip these problems in the bud from the start, why let them happen in the first place?"

As she spoke, the Star God looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "Especially... the world isn't just black and white. If you can dodge the black and white, then the gray that's between black and white is not so simple."
