Chapter 570

In the year 160 of the God of Wealth calendar, a major piece of news set the entire human alliance ablaze.

The Star God, the most revered and noble protector of China since ancient times, a spiritual leader worshipped by the masses, had broken through to become a true god and ascended to the god king level!

This development also sent shockwaves through the border battlefield.

Even the opposing legacy beings were stunned by this news.

From what they knew, the Star God was less than two hundred years old, right?

Achieving the title of god king at such a young age?

What does that even mean?

Since ancient times, even the true gods of the first eight ages never ascended this quickly!

For a moment, doubts began to surface.

In this Ninth Age, who truly holds the position of the God of Wealth or the Star God?

If the God of Wealth holds power, why hasn’t his brilliance surpassed that of the Star God?

As a result, voices proclaiming the Star God as the true leader began to rise and fall among the people.

Consequently, the top brass of the Star Army mobilized and, ignoring the objections of the Shadow God Legion, descended into the main realm to welcome their chief god back!

However, unexpectedly, the Star God at the god king level declined the Star Army’s welcome.

In a highly publicized event, he stated that at a specific time, he would join his comrades to head to the border battlefield together.

In the year 190 of the God of Wealth calendar, with the help of the God of Wealth and a fervent wave of battle, the Fighting God finally broke free from the shackles of being a demigod and ascended to true god.

In an instant, phenomena danced, and many congratulated him.

Historical records indicate that as the last person to become a true god, the Fighting God has finally put a perfect ending to the title of the first divine fate bearer beneath the true gods today.

In the year 275 of the God of Wealth calendar, the longest-serving God of Theater, through her efforts in cultivation and the assistance of a mysterious force, finally broke the shackles and ascended to the God King Realm.

In an instant, everyone celebrated together!

On the day the God of Theater ascended, the Star God, God of Theater, God of Wealth, and other divine fate bearers of the Ninth Age marched out to the border battlefield.

At the internal space transfer station of the border battlefield, the celestial god led the high-ranking members of the celestial god legion, who had been waiting there for a long time.

“Ninth Age Celestial God Du Xuehan, greetings to Great God of Wealth!”

At their first meeting, Du Xuehan bowed respectfully.

This bow carried a strong political inclination, representing that the true leader of the celestial god legion was willing to serve the true god of the Ninth Age.

Before coming here, the commander of the celestial god legion and the directive commander had suggested Du Xuehan act in this manner.

Understanding this celestial officer, the Great God of Wealth, they knew that if they didn’t express their intentions at the first meeting, it would be hard to incline later on!

“We are all comrades; please rise!”

Su Wen quickly stepped forward to help Du Xuehan stand.

“Great God, there are seven high-ranking members of various legions watching nearby.”

As Du Xuehan stood up, she sent a silent message.

Su Wen’s expression remained unchanged as he replied silently, “I guessed as much, but don’t worry. Our Ninth Age is no pushover!”

Through years of research on Visceral Martial Arts, while there hasn’t been a breakthrough in the high realm, their combat power has skyrocketed.

From matching Faith Half-Gods to rivaling Divine Power Half-Gods a century ago.

Now, the Demigod Level of Martial Arts is nearly on par with Fate Bearers who follow the fourth path.

Thus, combining fate and martial arts to elevate both body and soul is the most powerful and proper path.

Not just ordinary Fate Bearers, but even the Star God, God of Theater, and other divine fate bearers have started practicing martial arts diligently.

While the life leap from martial arts might not be crucial for them, at the true god level, even a slight boost in power can make all the difference.

Who knows? In a life-and-death struggle, those innate abilities from martial arts could turn the tide!

As for this, who can say for sure?

Overall, martial arts might not yet surpass the fate system, but its strong compatibility has made it a force to be reckoned with in the Ninth Age.

“Do you need me to brief you on the various legions and their top levels?”

While Du Xuehan chatted and laughed with everyone, she secretly transmitted the question.

“No need.”

Mo Xiaosu spoke up, “We’ve already prepared ourselves mentally before coming here.”

Du Xuehan’s eyes narrowed as she asked, “Are you saying the situation at the border battlefield is about to shift?”

“Exactly.”

“Shadow God, let me remind you—the Shadow God Legion currently has the most power, military equipment, puppet fortresses, and Rune battle armor.”

“We’re here now precisely because we’re wary of the Shadow God Legion’s potential betrayal. Otherwise, we’d have come much sooner!”

“Betrayal? Unlikely. What I mean is, the Shadow God Legion has repelled half of the legacy beings’ invasions in recent years. The higher-ups might have issues, but the lower and middle ranks are fiercely loyal to you.”

“So, shouldn’t we address this?”

“It can be resolved. From what I know, both the Shadow God Legion and my celestial god legion are fanatically devoted to the Shadow God position. You could use that to your advantage.”

“Not caring about the Shadow God, yet worshipping the Shadow God position?”

Mo Xiaosu raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

Something about this felt off.

“Not exactly.”

Du Xuehan explained, “In the Eighth Era, the Shadow God was in charge.”

“She might have laid the groundwork for your leadership or taken precautions for the future.”

“So, they often spread the idea that the Shadow God herself isn’t important—what matters is the ideology of the Shadow God position.”

“…”

Du Xuehan then shared everything she’d learned about the Shadow God’s confidence from the celestial god legion’s records.

As she spoke, everyone maintained polite smiles while listening intently.

Her words painted a picture of a leader brimming with charisma, unbothered by trivialities, and possessing a broad, generous spirit.

Su Wen nodded in agreement.

Though he’d never met the true Shadow God, he’d encountered her killing avatar and even trained under it for a few years.

“My predecessor was indeed quite charismatic.”

Mo Xiaosu sighed softly, then added, “Which makes it even harder to understand why the Shadow God Legion’s higher-ups are causing trouble.”

“The strongest army left by the Shadow God shouldn’t be falling apart before the end of an era, right?”

“Do they even deserve her attention and nurturing?”

After a pause, Du Xuehan said gravely, “This might have a lot to do with the divine authority you hold as the Shadow God.”

Mo Xiaosu fell silent.

If she herself didn’t care much about the Shadow God Legion, would the Shadow God?

Reflecting on her own divine authority and her indestructible Shadow Army, she wondered—could the strongest Shadow God Legion of this era have been little more than a support force in the Eighth Era?
