Chapter 561

“Elder… why does that sound so odd?”

Su Wen chuckled; he was just over twenty years old, and even with the time spent across all sub-timelines, he was only about thirty.

Being called an elder by a Demigod over four hundred years old made sense in terms of seniority.

But it still felt really weird!

This journey through the sub-timelines had left him with a strong sense of strangeness.

Everything was odd—from the strange behavior of his comrades to the bizarre twists in events, from his own peculiar experiences to the impending weirdness.

It seemed like the word "strange" had become the constant theme of this sub-timeline.

“By the way, Tianhan, I heard you’re the leader of the fifth battle group of the Great God of Wealth’s team?”

Su Wen changed the subject and asked, “Has it really been over five hundred years, and we’re still at this level in the Ninth Age?”

“A leader of your stature, yet not even a true god?”

Zhao Tianhan: “…”

He couldn’t help but feel that his teacher from the past was subtly criticizing his strength.

Though it wasn’t outright, the implication was clear.

“Teacher, even though I’m not a true god,”

Zhao Tianhan explained, “the Great God of Wealth’s team has one god king and over five hundred true god strong beings.”

“And under my fifth battle group, there are also more than seventy true god strong beings.”

Su Wen’s eyes sparkled with interest. “Oh? Tell me more about how these true gods and the god king came to be.”

Hearing this, Zhao Tianhan scratched his cheek awkwardly.

“What? Is it complicated?”

Su Wen frowned. “Or is it a military secret you can’t share with me?”

Zhao Tianhan quickly shook his head. “No, no, you’ve got it wrong, Teacher. While the distribution of strength within the battle group is a military secret, what does that matter to you?”

After all, the secrets of the Great God of Wealth’s team were like open books to the Great God, weren’t they?

No matter how classified, could anything be more secretive than the Great God himself?

“Well, it’s not a big deal, just a bit awkward.”

“All the true gods in the Great God of Wealth’s team come from the Bug Spirit Clan.”

“Or rather, it’s now called the Phantom Beast Clan.”

“And the strongest combat power in the Great God of Wealth’s team, that god king, was personally chosen and trained by you, Teacher—the former Seventh Elder of the Bug Spirit Clan.”

Su Wen nodded slightly, unsurprised.

This was exactly what he had expected!

Still, that Seventh Elder’s talent was truly remarkable; in just five hundred years, he had ascended to the God King Realm.

Impressive indeed!

Faster than himself!

No wonder it was the trump card in the hands of the Great God of Wealth from the previous few eras; wielding such a card is exhilarating!

The two of them walked and chatted casually.

In the main realm of Earth, five hundred years later, the area had expanded tremendously compared to five hundred years ago.

After five hundred years of revival, the area of the Earth’s main realm had increased by at least a thousand times!

As the main realm of Earth continuously revived, the strength of space on this side also increased proportionally.

Therefore, even top Demigods needed tens of minutes to travel from here to the place where humanity’s legacy is passed on, even if they were crossing time and space.

“Teacher, the conflicts on the border battlefield have intensified, and a new round of large-scale war has broken out.”

While they were traveling, Zhao Tianhan suddenly spoke.

“Did it break out suddenly?”

Su Wen pondered and asked gravely.

"Not exactly!"

Zhao Tianhan replied, “After all, we all felt that in recent decades, a new round of war was likely approaching.”

“On the side of the remnants, once they grasp the initiative in this new type of war, they won’t give us too much time to recuperate.”

“After all, the longer we are given, the more powerful beings will emerge from our side.”

As he spoke, Zhao Tianhan paused and then said seriously, “But I still feel that the remnants are a bit anxious.”

“So I suspect that the traitor Star God, through unknown means, has grasped the news of your arrival and has informed the remnants.”

“That’s why the remnants are so eager to start a new round of war; just as we look forward to your arrival, the remnants and the traitor Star God must certainly fear your coming!”

Su Wen: “……”

He constantly called the traitor Star God so smoothly.

However, he shared similar thoughts; with the Star God’s cunning and the information obtained from the sub-timelines, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to know that he would arrive at this time.

So the outbreak of war was also part of the plan, wasn’t it?

But all these doubts would be clarified in the God of Martial Arts’ office.

That place was a space specially prepared for him by the River of Fate.

“By the way, let me ask you something.”

Su Wen spoke up and asked, “Did I kill a few true kings of the remnants before I fell?”

As soon as he said this, Zhao Tianhan fell silent.

How was he supposed to answer that?

Though the teacher had been stirring his heart, he absolutely dared not hurt his mentor’s feelings.

“Didn’t you?”

Su Wen squinted and asked when Zhao Tianhan remained silent.

Using the God of Martial Arts’ office to get rid of a few true kings of the remnants would lighten the pressure they faced in the Ninth Age.

That was his plan before coming here; under normal circumstances, he should have been able to do it.

If he didn’t do that, or if he didn’t even make the God of Martial Arts’ office operational, then what that represented was worth pondering.

“Teacher, you weren’t a god king before you fell.”

Zhao Tianhan hesitated and said, “Although you chased after the true gods of the remnants on the battlefield, holding a ingot and a treasure bowl.”

“You even managed to injure a few true kings of the remnants.”

“But to kill a true king… that really didn’t happen!”

After speaking, Zhao Tianhan felt it was inappropriate, so he added,

“At least I didn’t see it, nor have I heard about it.”

“If you really did something earth-shattering like that, it would indeed… be normal not to mention it to your disciple.”

As they spoke, the two arrived at the site of the legacy.

The moment they arrived, Su Wen reached out and blocked Zhao Tianhan outside.

In the next moment, he closed his eyes and sensed for a while before stepping forward, his figure immediately vanishing from the spot.

“Is there really a hidden God of Martial Arts’ office nearby?”

Zhao Tianhan’s pupils contracted; it had been five hundred years, and even though there was a God of Martial Arts’ office before, its original location had long since been torn down countless times.

It seemed that his teacher had begun planning some matters since five hundred years ago!

……

Meanwhile, in the God of Martial Arts’ office.

“It’s been five hundred years, and it’s still the same here!”

Su Wen looked around and murmured to himself, “There isn’t even a speck of dust; it seems that the power left by the River of Fate has been acting as a janitor all along!”

As he spoke, Su Wen approached the dark river model created by the River of Fate.

Then, a golden aura of wealth began to sparkle on his right hand.

In the next moment, he pointed and thrust directly into the vivid, flowing dark river model.

Based on his self-awareness, if he guessed correctly, deep within this dark river model, there must be an explanation left by the Sub-timeline’s God of Wealth for him.
