Chapter 569

“The Ninth Age is the toughest era we’ve faced.”

Su Wen looked at Mo Xiaosu and reassured her, “Don’t overthink it. It’s just a minor hiccup with the Shadow God Legion, right?”

“What’s the issue?”

“Your problem isn’t that serious.”

“Forget about everyone here wanting to slay gods—just look at the mess over at the God of Theater’s side. It’s way worse than yours.”

“Stay calm!”

“It’s just leftovers from the last era.”

“Things expire over time—it’s normal.”

“Just replace it!”

Mo Xiaosu nodded firmly at this.

It was hard not to agree with the God of Wealth!

Exactly!

If it doesn’t work, just swap it out!

They’re the divine fate bearers, after all!

Are these legions, built on the backs of the previous era’s fate bearers, really that important?

According to the God of Wealth, in the parallel timelines they don’t even know about, they’ve died countless times.

So… what’s one more?

The universe is already a dangerous place, and here they are, still caught up in petty power struggles—what a joke!

“Then I’ll handle the refusal!”

The God of Theater spoke up, “The ones who came to pick us up are from the God of Theater Legion.”

“It’s more fitting for me to deal with it.”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow and asked, “Sir, how do you plan to refuse?”

The God of Theater thought for a moment and said, “I’ll find an excuse and beat them back! Let them know we’re not to be messed with!”

After receiving the so-called decree from the border battlefield, the God of Theater sneered and added, “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

“Finding an excuse is easy enough.”

“By the way, God of Wealth, when are you planning to head to the border battlefield?”

Su Wen replied, “Let’s wait a bit longer. We’ll go once a few of us ascend to the God King Realm—it’s safer that way.”

His experience in the previous sub-timeline had taught him that the legacy beings had a Killing Blow waiting for him in the God King Realm.

That’s why, when he advanced to true god, he made sure to hide in the God of Martial Arts’ office.

He advanced under the simulated power of fate within the river of time in the God of Martial Arts’ office—a move that couldn’t be easily countered!

“Alright.”

The God of Theater nodded slightly, then turned and vanished from the spot.

“I’ll go find some powerful beings from the Demigod clan to spar with.”

Beside him, the Fighting God said helplessly, “I thought my being the weakest in combat power was just temporary.”

“But to my surprise, even after over a hundred years, I’m still the weakest.”

“That’s really frustrating!”

Having said that, the Fighting God quickly left as well.

Afterward, the Wind God, Mo Xiaosu, and Li Wenze also departed.

In the legacy base built around the God of Wealth’s office, only Su Wen and the Star God remained.

“God of Wealth, there’s something I’d like to ask your opinion on.”

“You want to infiltrate the legacy beings, don’t you?”

“……”

The Star God nodded and said, “Yes, this is just a conceptual plan of mine.”

“After achieving true god status and fully acquiring the memories of the Star God of the Eighth Era, I received a hidden, crucial piece of information.”

“In the distant Eighth Era, the God of Theater had discussed the hidden legacy beings with the Star God and even devised an infiltration strategy.”

“The two pretended to betray each other and contacted the legacy beings.”

“Because the God of Theater crossed time and space, he knows about our Ninth Age.”

“So the Star God of the Eighth Era also knew that he would pass his memories onto me in the future.”

“That’s why arrangements were made in advance to prepare for my complete acceptance of his memory legacy, laying the groundwork for infiltrating the legacy beings.”

Pausing, the Star God said seriously, “This is a long-term infiltration strategy spanning an entire era; various matters, even the networks and development paths of the legacy beings, were all arranged by the Eighth Era.”

“In order to explore the genuine information of the legacy beings and address significant issues existing in our era.”

“Logically and emotionally, I believe I should take a trip over there!”

“In the capacity of the Star God of the Ninth Age, but essentially I am the Star God of the Eighth Era—this deep information of a universe traitor returning again.”

“I think the legacy beings would certainly find this matter quite favorable.”

Su Wen asked in confusion, “But there are huge loopholes in this plan! The legacy beings have orchestrated their schemes for billions of years, enduring wars for eight eras. How could they possibly believe that… the Star God would betray them?”

The Star God burst into laughter, then explained, “God of Wealth, just as we have traitors from the legacy beings here betraying the universe, there are also our friends and connections on the side of the legacy beings!”

“Don’t worry about how the other party betrays; all the reasons… are stored in my mind.”

“And as the God of Wealth, don’t you understand the transfer of interests and connections better than I do?”

“Some cultivators who only consider themselves and not the interests of the universe are not unique to our universe.”

Saying this, the Star God paused and then continued, “Of course, those who stand on our side purely for the greater cause, without seeking profit, I… greatly respect!”

“If we achieve victory here, God of Wealth, please spare them!”

Su Wen softly asked, “How will you spare them?”

“Let them leave the universe and venture into chaos to embrace their adventurous lives!”

“Okay.”

“……”

After a brief conversation, the Star God left to start preparing for his infiltration into the legacy beings.

As he had considered, the most suitable person for this mission, with the most unyielding resolve, was none other than the Star God himself!

Moreover, the Star God explained that the “betrayals” and “backstabbing” he would carry out in the future were all part of the groundwork for the true core infiltration.

When he infiltrates the legacy beings, he certainly wouldn’t use his real identity.

His true identity, as the Star God of the Ninth Age and the Star God of the Eighth Era, would only serve as a cover and a distraction.

On the side of the legacy beings, a specific identity had already been prepared for him.

An identity that fully embodies the traits of the legacy beings, deeply rooted in their cultural essence!

Now that he understood this, he no longer felt any concern.

Before, while he didn’t believe the Star God would betray them, there was always that tiny chance—what if the Star God fell into the legacy beings’ schemes and met with an unexpected disaster?

After all, the core of corruption among the legacy beings is built on rationality.

And among everyone, the Star God possesses the strongest sense of rationality!

But now it seems he was overthinking things.

Indeed, if the legacy beings could corrupt the Star God so easily, there wouldn’t be any need for such elaborate schemes.

Just the betrayals of the Star God from the first eight ages would have made it impossible for them to win!

“The legacy beings are one thing, but the stance of the will of the cosmos… that’s what you’re really trying to uncover, isn’t it?”

Su Wen murmured as he watched the Star God’s figure fade into the distance, “If the will of the cosmos has never shown any signs of trouble…”

“Then perhaps that’s the biggest problem of all!”

“The Remnant Universe, a cosmos on the verge of death.”

“Humans can go to extreme lengths to survive; what about a cosmos?”

“Going mad and resorting to any means necessary seems almost natural, doesn’t it?”

With that thought, Su Wen slowly closed his eyes.

“I shouldn’t try to use my own reasoning to decipher the actions and deeper intentions of a cosmos’s will.”

“Perhaps the logic was flawed from the very start.”
