[You begin absorbing the treasures of the Wealth Ghost, and in the process of transforming Wealth Ghost, you are surprised to discover that the treasures brought by the Wealth Ghost are extremely valuable.]
[Having absorbed only about one-tenth of the Wealth Ghost's reserves, you've already accumulated enough Wealth Source —twenty units—to upgrade the Wealth Ghost.]
[The God of Wealth, who is poor himself yet mocks poverty! While allowing the Wealth Ghost to be promoted, you gave the Wealth Spirit a disdainful look.]
Look at the treasures hoarded by those Wealth Ghost people, and then look at you. We're both Wealth Dao Heavenly Mandate Bearer, but how have you managed to get by?
[After completing his promotion, the Wealth Ghost was beaming with excitement, but just as he was about to roar to the heavens to express his joy, the Wealth Spirit intervened and stopped him.]
The fact that the God of God of Wealth is here must be kept secret, which means our promotion news must not be leaked.
[Even if the God of God of Wealth is eventually exposed, we must do our best to cover it up before he is exposed. So, you Wealth Ghost, what are you shouting about after your promotion? Are you afraid others won't know you've been promoted?]
[The Wealth Ghost scratched his head sheepishly, then, after receiving your permission, excitedly notified his friend, the Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the Cai Meng.]
[At this moment, Cai Meng is guarding the southern border. Hearing Wealth Ghost's call, he directly draws Wealth Ghost into his dream world and asks Wealth Ghost what has happened.]
[When Cai Meng awoke from his dream, disregarding wartime regulations and bypassing proper procedures, he simply sent a message to the Southern Border President stating he had urgent business to return to, and then vanished instantly.]
[Soon, Cai Meng arrived at Wealth Spirit Manor with the treasures. Even until the moment she completed her advancement, Cai Meng still felt like she was dreaming.]
[She even couldn't help but wonder if she had made progress in her dream world, and if her obsession with advancement was so strong that it was affecting her reality?]
[After listening to the accounts of the Wealth Spirit and the Wealth Ghost, each giving a sentence, the Cai Meng suddenly understood, and then looked at you with eyes full of shock and disbelief.]
[You, God of Wealth who can freely traverse time and space, traveling from the past to the future, and disregarding the order of time and space, are truly too mystical and unbelievable.]
[However, if such an unbelievable thing happened to their leader in the Wealth Dao, the beloved God of God of Wealth, then it would be perfectly reasonable.]
Seeing Cai Meng's idea, Su Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This Cai Meng is quite interesting!
When unbelievable things happen before her eyes, and facts that challenge her worldview appear before her, she cannot believe it.
But if this matter benefits her, then there's no problem!
What a lovely pragmatist!
[As the Wealth Ghost and Wealth Spirit used their respective supernatural powers to contact their former friends from the Wealth Dao, Cai Meng stood aside, hesitant to speak.]
[You perceptive God of Wealth of Wealth! After Du Guowei's reminder, you noticed the anomaly in your Cai Meng, and thus you made a decision.]
[First, temporarily suspend your Martial Dao training and ask Cai Meng what's troubling you.]
[Second, ignore the abnormality of Cai Meng and continue letting Du Guowei lecture you.]
[You seem like a clever God of Wealth! You made the choice a normal person would make: you paused your Martial Dao studies and the treatment of your Martial Dao Secret Medicine to ask Cai Meng what was troubling you?]
[Upon hearing your question, Cai Meng gritted her teeth and told you her thoughts.]
[According to Cai Meng, the Shadow God who protected the Suzhou and Hangzhou region and slew the two invading alien emperors is a real person.]
[That Heavenly Mandate Bearer's profession is Shadow God!]
[One of the God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer, an absolute powerhouse who should have stood shoulder to shoulder with you, the Star God, and the Battle God.]
[The reason she was familiar with the Shadow God was because the Shadow God had some psychological issues. So, when his negative emotions reached a breaking point, he would come to her for help in putting Shadow God to sleep.]
Deep sleep is one of the most comfortable ways to relax and relieve negative emotions.
[That's why she gradually became acquainted with the Shadow God, and for a time they even addressed each other as sisters.]
[She was unaware of the Shadow God's past experiences; she had only witnessed the boundless, desolate darkness of the Shadow God's subconscious while the Shadow God slept.]
[Even in casual conversation with the Shadow God Shadow God, one could sense his dissatisfaction with the country and his hatred for society in his tone.]
[That sorrow stemmed from childhood grief and the misfortune of his family of origin; all these grievances combined to make the Shadow God unwilling to protect the lights of every Huaxia.]
[In the words of the Shadow God, the world tormented me with suffering, and my decision not to slaughter the world was the kindest choice I could make in my rational state.]
[As Cai Meng recounted her story, especially when Cai Meng mentioned that Shadow God hated evil and would kill any human traffickers or corrupt officials she encountered in the most ruthless way.]
[So much so that wherever the Shadow God lurks, the gray areas are often stained with blood.]
[Angry God of Wealth of Wealth! From Cai Meng's account, you probably guessed that the Shadow God's unfortunate childhood experiences—human traffickers and corrupt officials—were major reasons why the Shadow God developed a hatred for society.]
Upon seeing this, Su Wen slowly clenched his fist.
He traveled through time and space so many times, and it was during this time travel spanning twenty years that he learned about a new God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer.
The previous Martial God was just a disguise he wore; that doesn't count!
If only one Shadow God is born in twenty years, then perhaps the birth of God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer requires certain prerequisites!
Shadow God, a God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer with the power to change the world's order, was actually ruined by a bunch of social scum?
"Hopefully, there's still time!"
Su Wen took a deep breath; he roughly guessed why Cai Meng had told him this.
I am God of Wealth that transcends time and space!
In a future timeline, the Shadow God's personality becomes distorted due to unfortunate events.
Assuming there's enough time, and the misfortune that befell Shadow God twenty years ago hasn't happened yet, then perhaps... he could intervene directly in the past.
He gave Shadow God a wonderful childhood, and Shadow God became their comrade-in-arms, standing shoulder to shoulder with them in the future!
[You look serious and ask Cai Meng if she knows anything about the Shadow God.]
[For example, when was the Shadow God born? Where is he from? What is his name?]
[Or rather, you want to know everything about the Shadow God —his appearance, his accent, etc.—that can help you quickly ascertain Shadow God identity.]
[After a moment of silence, Cai Meng said that she didn't know much. The only thing she knew was that Shadow God wasn't very old, was born in the Shaoxing area, and awakened to become Heavenly Mandate Bearer around the age of twelve, his birth year.]
[But before becoming the Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the Shadow God had already suffered many misfortunes.]
Cai Meng bowed deeply to you, pleading with you to save the Shadow God from the past, no matter what.
[Each time she guided the Shadow God to sleep, the boundless madness emanating from her subconscious made her feel heartbroken for her friend, the powerful God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer. What kind of misfortune did she suffer in her helpless childhood?]
[While you and Cai Meng were discussing the Shadow God matter, Du Guowei ran over excitedly, saying that Star God had called back.]
