[What you didn't notice was that Du Guowei, who witnessed everything, also had his pupils dilate wildly, and his mind went completely blank.]
[The Martial God he had long admired was actually able to help the Wealth Spirit complete his advancement?!]
[As the deputy editor-in-chief of the Martial Dao General Journal, he still had the authority to know about the advancement procedures after the Ninth Rank of the Heavenly Mandate Bearer.]
[Then he quickly realized that the Martial God he had believed in was not the Martial God at all, but rather more like the long-deceased God of God of Wealth.]
[As Martial Dao master who made a sudden contribution to the development of Martial Dao in Huaxia and even the world, Du Guowei was not a fool. After calming down and thinking it over briefly, he understood the cause and effect.]
The Martial God is also the God of Wealth!
In other words, the Martial God God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer "God," doesn't exist; it's all just a disguise for some reason.
[Thinking back to how he had previously mentioned to you that the God of Wealth wasn't popular, Du Guowei felt utterly ashamed, as if he had been completely humiliated.]
[Soon, the Wealth Spirit completed its advancement. The moment it became Three-Ascension King, the Wealth Spirit roared to the sky, expressing its excitement.]
[In the previous timeline, Wealth Spirit, unable to advance to the King Rank, chose to die. This ambition-driven mentality caused Wealth Spirit great distress during this period.]
[But now, the painful feelings have disappeared with the completion of the promotion ceremony.]
Even knowing that the God of God of Wealth will eventually depart, there is still hope because the God of Wealth in the past timeline did not die, and the path of those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer has not been severed.
[Afterwards, Wealth Spirit prepared his thoughts and told you that he wanted to contact other Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer to come and share this good news with everyone.]
[However, please rest assured, God of God of Wealth, those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer come here for advancement will absolutely pay for it themselves, and may even present God of Wealth with the most precious gifts.]
[The Wealth Spirit chuckled slyly, saying that the two Heavenly Mandate Bearer, Cai Meng and Wealth Ghost, were exceptionally lucky, seizing the opportunity to raid the secret treasury of a powerful clan, finding a great many valuable items.]
[God of Wealth, who has just begun to suffer the ravages of River of Space-Time! Will you grant the wishes of the Wealth Spirit?]
[First, fulfill the wishes of the Wealth Spirit Wealth Spirit, allowing it to notify those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer throughout Huaxia to absorb their treasures in exchange for Wealth Source, thus helping them achieve their advancement.]
[Second, reject the idea of Wealth Spirit and reveal the secrets of the River of Space-Time.]
[You petty-minded God of Wealth! You rejected the Wealth Spirit's offer and explained the issue of the River of Space-Time transaction fees to him.]
[Upon learning that the fees for the River of Space-Time were so exorbitant, the Wealth Spirit fell silent.]
[His savings accumulated over the past twenty years, any single item, would be enough to cause a stir in Huaxia, yet most of his savings combined only amounted to the equivalent of two hundred million in cash?]
[But after careful consideration, Wealth Spirit still voiced his thoughts.]
[Because the God of Wealth of Wealth in this timeline has perished, the path to wealth has been severed, and the future of all those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer is shrouded in darkness.]
[If one could use their life savings to achieve a promotion, everyone would gladly accept.]
What use are these riches and treasures if I can't get promoted?
We earnestly hope that the God of God of Wealth will have pity on these helpless wanderers who desperately seek their home!
[As he spoke, Wealth Spirit suddenly knelt down on both knees and kowtowed deeply to you, the force of which caused the entire hidden compartment to tremble violently.]
[This was followed by the incessant kowtowing of the Wealth Spirit.]
[You armchair strategist, God of Wealth of wealth! As the leader of those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer, you have no idea how devastating your demise will be, both physically and spiritually, for all those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer.]
[After you came to your senses, you quickly helped the Wealth Spirit up.]
[Perhaps seeing the spirit of Wealth Spirit's excited expression, or perhaps wanting to understand the situation of the Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer, you inquired about the Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer's condition from the Wealth Spirit of wealth.]
[After taking a deep breath, the Wealth Spirit recounted to you, the God of Wealth from the past, the epic and devastating revenge launched by the Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer against your enemies.]
[Three or four years later, when the Martial God fell, all those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer in Huaxia wept in unison, their hearts filled with despair as if the sky had collapsed.]
[In April of the third to fifth year, the Heavenly Mandate Bearer Wealth Wielder, knowing their breakthrough was hopeless, used their terrifying wealth accumulated over ten years to sneak across the battlefield defense line and launch a suicide attack on the traitor Wind God, who was located in the No. 02 Arrow Realm outside the Western Frontier Defense Line.]
[In June of the third year of the Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the Wealth Emotion Poet, with all his power, conjured the power of Wealth Dao, burning his life and soul to launch a suicidal attack on the traitorous Wind God.]
[On the third day of the seventh month of the third year of the Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the Chosen Wealth Mourning Master, in despair at the severing of his path, gathered a great deal of treasure, built an altar, and burned himself in a suicidal attack on the traitorous Wind God.]
[On the 28th day of the seventh month of the 35th year, twenty-nine Heavenly Mandate Bearer Heavenly Mandate Bearer, including the Wealth Curse Master, the Wealth Guide, and the Wealth Slaughter General, sacrificed their own souls to the Wealth Dao, drawing Descender the Wealth Dao's Sycee and gathering power to obliterate the traitorous Wind God!]
[But the traitor was too powerful; a mere phantom of a Wind God was enough to kill all twenty-nine Heavenly Mandate Bearer on the spot.]
[In 36 years, the Heavenly Mandate Bearer...]
[...]
[In 1939...]
[1940...]
[A month earlier, the King Rank of Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the Wealth Tomb Keeper, was severely wounded in a battle and returned to the Imperial Capital to recuperate. However, during his recovery, he felt a deep sense of despair about his path and thus unleashed everything, summoning the Stele of the Wealth Tomb that blotted out the sky.]
[The Wealth Tomb Keeper left a will, revealing her own weakness; she knew she couldn't inflict any harm on the traitor, the Wind God, and could serve no purpose other than to make him laugh.]
[But she's determined to take revenge on the Wind God. With the God of God of Wealth dead and their path to wealth cut off, everything they have has been severed by the traitorous Wind God. What meaning is there left for the future?]
[Silent God of Wealth! As the Wealth Spirit recounts the revenge carried out on your behalf by the Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer, your heart is filled with mixed emotions.]
[Although you know that your own demise will cut off your source of wealth, in your numerous journeys, you haven't given the situation of those Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer a high priority.]
[And when countless vibrant lives are lost because of you, even if you weren't in command, and it wasn't your true intention, can your heart truly find peace?]
[The meaning of the Wealth Spirit is also very clear: Respected God of God of Wealth, seeing the miserable state of this Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer, could you lend a helping hand to your subordinate in the future?]
[First, agree with Wealth Spirit's idea and have him notify the Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer throughout Huaxia, but everything must be done in secrecy; do not leak your information.]
[Second, I reject Wealth Spirit's idea. The future Sub-Space-Time is merely an illusory timeline. You spend Wealth Source to travel through time to promote Martial Dao development and understand future conditions, not to do charity.]
