"That's roughly the idea, I think."
Luobao said indignantly, "Everything was agreed upon at the time, but the River of Space-Time went back on its word."
As she spoke, Luobao glanced at Sycee, then her expression returned to calm as she continued, "Of course, God of God of Wealth, you shouldn't take it to heart. This is a conflict between the River of Space-Time and the River of Fate; it has nothing to do with you."
Similarly, it has nothing to do with me or Sycee.
"I just noticed that Sycee kept emphasizing how pitiful the River of Space-Time, and he also kept slandering the River of Fate."
"I knew all these things when I was training on the other side of the River of Fate."
"Precisely because we know this, we cannot tolerate Sycee's distortion of the truth."
Su Wen: "..."
Okay!
They were all really into their role-playing.
In truth, he should feel honored.
The notorious leader of the Chaos and the two bosses of the rogue organization that runs through the Chaos are putting on an act for him.
Hmm... that's pretty good. If you think about it that way, he should even feel grateful!
"Sycee, you didn't finish your sentence."
Su Wen looked at Sycee and said softly, "What did you mean by that 'but' you just used?"
Sycee snorted at Luobao, then said, "However, for the sake of the God of God of Wealth, the River of Space-Time is willing to provide certain welfare subsidies."
"But God of God of Wealth, since you're currently in the Main Space-Time, shouldn't you revive the Incumbent Shadow God?"
What do you think?
"With your current Wealth Source, that's more than enough!"
"You'll be resurrecting the Incumbent Shadow God in the Main Space-Time... well... you'll have to go through the channels of the River of Space-Time!"
"Then, the River of Space-Time can grant you a free spot to bring back the next time you support Sub-Space-Time."
Upon hearing this, Su Wen glanced at Luobao, and seeing that Luobao did not speak in rebuttal, he nodded.
"Okay, let me think about it."
"I'll let you know once I've confirmed it."
Sycee quickly shook his head and said, "Lord God of God of Wealth, you're being careless. This isn't a notification to me, but to the River of Space-Time."
Su Wen: "..."
Isn't this just a classic case of protesting too much?
Besides, Sycee didn't speak like this before his identity was exposed!
But it doesn't matter. When I reach Half-Step Transcendence and go to fight the Destruction, I can take out the Sycee and Luobao as weapons.
The divine artifacts were used as weapons, while the spirit watched the show from the sidelines.
Knowing Sycee's personality, he'd probably be standing nearby, eating and cheering while holding a drink and snacks, right?
Would Destruction then use profanity and insult Sycee?
Probably.
Hopefully!
Insulting the River of Space-Time is a serious matter!
Who knows, a single glance from the River of Space-Time might be enough to kill Destruction!
Although the probability is low, Su Wen felt that as long as there was a chance, it was worth guiding and implementing this idea.
After that, Su Wen went to find the Star God to discuss this matter.
"Being able to borrow the power of a Sub-Space-Time to resurrect a Incumbent True God is a good thing from any perspective!"
The Star God thought for a moment, then said softly, "We can't be too greedy..."
The Star God paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, this is also because you played the emotional card, and that's about it."
"Being able to get a Incumbent True God is about right."
"If you think you can get a few more people for free, then never mind what I said."
Su Wen shook his head and said, "It probably won't work. The Sub-Space-Time of River of Space-Time, which resurrected Baili Chaoge, must have known that I couldn't obtain the Wealth Source for a second Incumbent True God, so they gave me two spots."
"But in the next support Sub-Space-Time, I need to go find Qiang and ask for money."
"Therefore, if a second Incumbent True God can be resurrected, then the other side of the River of Space-Time will not grant a second spot."
The Star God smiled and said, "Since you already have the answer in your heart, what are you hesitating for?"
He felt that the God of Wealth had come to him, but the main reason might not have been about this matter.
"Luobao just told me something..."
After a moment of silence, Su Wen told Star God what had just happened.
Upon hearing this, the Star God's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "That's great!"
"The relationship River of Space-Time and the River of Fate could deteriorate because of your actions... well, maybe the two rivers were just having fun, so they created this effect."
"But regardless, your importance is beyond question."
"Given the two rivers' positions within the chaos, setting aside the past and the vague notion of what came before, at least your future... is destined to stand atop the chaos."
As he spoke, the Star God chuckled and then joked, "God of Wealth, does that mean I can just give up now?"
Su Wen: "???"
What?
Star God, this workaholic, actually wants to give up?
Is it strange that I could say something like that?
The Star God seemed to have seen through Su Wen's thoughts and said with a smile, "To be honest, if my computing power wasn't strong enough and I wasn't proficient in creating clones, I probably would have died of exhaustion long ago."
"Even the most energetic ordinary person would be unable to rest if they had a mountain of military and political affairs to handle every day."
"Not to mention personal recreational activities, even sports that I'm interested in—that's all I can do, I can only be interested in them."
"So if I have no worries about the future, I'd rather go out and see the world without a care in the world, calm my mind, and see the beautiful landscape of our country from the perspective of an ordinary person."
Su Wen said softly, "There will be an opportunity!"
These words seem to be spoken to the Star God, yet also seem to be spoken to oneself.
When he stands at the pinnacle of chaos, perhaps all the problems can truly be solved.
However, people with different levels of understanding, different positions, and different perspectives will encounter different problems and have different angles of view.
When I stand at the pinnacle of chaos, perhaps... other troubles will arise.
After all, with his current strength, revisiting the predicament of the first Sub-Space-Time would be a piece of cake to solve.
What are these mere subordinate races of the Arrow Realm, which can Destruction with a single thought?
But when they were weak, this was the desperate situation that kept them up all night and even caused them to lose their hair from worry!
"So, what is it that the River of Space-Time and River of Fate have poured all of this into me, seeking?"
With this question in mind, Su Wen arrived at the Shadow God Armory in the Main Realm.
The Eighth Age left them with a considerable legacy for the Ninth Age, so they came to the place where the Incumbent Shadow God served and resurrected him.
The first thing the Incumbent Shadow God would do upon returning is to see his familiar homeland; perhaps... it would even hold some sentimental value.
"The Incumbent Shadow God!"
Su Wen looked up at the ceiling of the Shadow God Armory and murmured to himself, "Jiu Ying!"
"Teacher who taught me the God of Wealth Mark, come back!"
