Chapter 166: The Trust Issue of the God of Wealth in the Main Time and Space

【Fighting God, there’s no need to extend your power to probe or use the power of rules to investigate.】

【What I’ve left behind isn’t an embodiment of divine thought, just a projection recorded from the past.】

【I know where you are and can speak to you because I’ve foreseen your actions and words at this moment, allowing us this brief conversation.】

【Once I’ve said what I need to, this projection will fade away.】

【Don’t be sad; as long as the God of Wealth exists, we’re not doomed, and we still have the chance to start anew.】

The Star God’s projection looked at the Fighting God, leaning in to offer comfort.

Then the Star God slowly turned to look at your position.

“It’s been a long time since I last saw the God of Wealth from the past timeline.

Though I spoke with the God of Martial Arts just a few days ago, you and he are different; strictly speaking, it’s been over twenty years since we last met, hasn’t it?

I left this projection to address the doubts in your heart.

This doubt is something I’ve pondered for a long time before I understood it.

When the God of Martial Arts realized he couldn’t traverse time and space, and our timeline became a sub-timeline for exploring the correct path to the future, he shared with me several events from those sub-timelines.

In one of those timelines, he spoke of my descent into madness through killing.

This made him wonder: was my madness simply about slaughtering certain races to intimidate those in the Arrow Realm?

And was it also about glimpsing higher realms? The God of Martial Arts always thought I wasn’t that narrow-minded.

The most crucial point is, since the me from that timeline went mad, why didn’t I make the same choices in the later sub-timelines after his downfall?

In truth, the God of Martial Arts overestimated me; I might indeed be that narrow-minded.

After all, upon realizing my timeline had become a sub-timeline, where everything could potentially restart, why hold back?

It was time to make those arrogant outsiders pay a heavy price!

Unleash full power, reckless and uncaring, burn the soul, ignite the origin, and kill decisively to carve out a clear and bright world!

But the difference between the mad killer in that timeline and me in the subsequent sub-timelines troubled the God of Martial Arts.

This difference is quite simple; I understand my decisions in the mad killing timeline.

Knowing that you, the God of Wealth, can cross time and space, especially when you, from the sub-timeline, took the initiative to tell me this top-secret news, I realized this was a test from the God of Wealth of the main time and space.

A test of whether I can be trusted!

Perhaps you from the sub-timeline believe in me and trust me, which is why you came to tell me this.

But when you from the future main time and space arrive, my decisions, my choices, and my actions during this time will become a standard for you to judge whether the Star God can be trusted.

If some of my inconvenient decisions lead the God of Wealth in the main time and space to think I am untrustworthy, at least not fully trustworthy, then things will become complicated.

Even the rise of China will face significant obstacles.

Especially after learning you possess the ability to traverse timelines, I realized that some of my plans lost their meaning and value.

Conspiracies and tricks, unorthodox methods, all become fragile illusions in the face of absolute strength and prevailing trends, collapsing at the slightest touch.

And you, the God of Wealth of the main time and space, represent the tide of trends!】

【To earn your trust and show you that the Star God is trustworthy, the simplest, most direct, and least misunderstood way is to use all my power to tear through the Arrow Realm for you!】

【Sacrificing the life of a Star God from a sub-timeline to gain the trust of the God of Wealth in the main Time and Space for the main Star God is, I believe, worth it.】

【If I were the Star God in that timeline, I’d do the same.】

【Maybe there are less aggressive ways, or I could scheme to earn your absolute trust through other means.】

【But all scheming is playing with people’s hearts, and those who play with hearts will eventually face their backlash.】

【So why complicate things?】

【Isn’t it easier to win your trust with pure, straightforward force?】

【No matter how perfect other plans are, once they’re designed by humans, there will always be traces left behind.】

【I won’t gamble on even a one-in-a-billion chance, and I doubt the me from that timeline would either.】

【So, God of Wealth in the main Time and Space, have your doubts been cleared?】

【Oh, God of Wealth, who crosses time, tramples order, and bribes the Time and Space maintainers! After hearing your comrade’s explanation, have your inner doubts been resolved?】

【Do you feel ashamed for ever doubting the Star God’s decisions?】

【He’s your most reliable comrade and your most trusted partner, yet you hesitate, afraid to use your power. How does that reflect the strength of the God of Wealth?】

【A true God of Wealth can ignore the order of time, bribe the Time and Space maintainers, split time and space with a single strike, and overturn the heavens with a kick.】

【The petty schemes of ants are nothing but illusions in the face of true power!】

Su Wen’s gaze sharpened as he realized.

So that’s why the Star God went all out in that timeline!

The Star God knew he was being tested, so he chose the simplest, most direct way to prove his innocence.

You’ve got to admit, the Star God truly lives up to his name!

His trust in the Star God also comes from an undeniable truth: if the Star God were a traitor, there’d be no point in continuing.

He might as well give up and find a quiet place to rot.

What’s the point of playing along?

Most importantly, he couldn’t think of a reason for the Star God to betray them.

If the Star God were a traitor, why bother developing the Body Refinement Technique in the original timeline?

Why give him Star Martial Arts during the God of Wealth’s training?

The Starry Array covering China could’ve just located and killed the fate bearer with the character "God"!

If it was for the God of Theater’s sake… really?

With the Star God’s intelligence, if he wanted to pull something like that, would anyone even notice?

The victims’ loved ones might even come crying to the Star God for help once they understood the situation.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if the Star God wanted to cause trouble and sell someone out, others would be counting their money for him!

“This narration… is it messing with me again?”

Su Wen felt a bit helpless as he read the following lines.

He’d been moved by the Star God’s words, but the narration’s tone sent a chill down his spine.

Though it wasn’t stated outright, the message was clear.

Say it!

Just say it!

Reveal your talent ability in the main Time and Space!

Let’s see who’ll fall first!
