Chapter 580

Silence!

The entire Fighting God’s Legion fell into an absolute, deafening silence.

After a moment, the Commander of the Fighting God Legion suddenly dropped to one knee at the border.

“I humbly obey the will of Great God Fighting!”

As these words echoed, one by one, the warriors of the Fighting God’s Legion began to kneel down.

The Fighting God’s Legion!

They kneel to neither heaven nor earth!

They kneel only to the spiritual leader they worship and believe in!

“Why doesn’t Fighting God allow the Fighting God’s Legion to intervene?”

Rui’s eyes flickered as she muttered in confusion, “And those words that set the stage for the God of Wealth to command the Fighting God’s Legion—how can Fighting God be so sure the God of Wealth will be fine?”

Beside her, Gu remained silent, standing still, quietly observing the battle between the Star God and the God of Wealth.

It wasn’t until the God of Wealth appeared above the Star God, wielding a gold ingot in his left hand, a treasure basin in his right, and Luobao’s money hovering above his head, that Gu’s expression began to shift. The God of Wealth was unexpectedly holding his own in combat.

The God of Wealth… how is he so skilled in battle?

And why do some of his fighting styles seem so familiar?

Not just Gu, but the veterans of the First Age also noticed this.

Rui was utterly baffled, her astonishment evident. The God of Wealth’s fighting stance looked eerily familiar to her.

In fact, it was almost identical to her own understanding of the Battle Style Secret Techniques!

If she hadn’t known better, she might have thought the God of Wealth was her own closed-door disciple!

Too similar!

It’s just too similar!

It was as if he had blended the Battle Style Secret Techniques with his own fighting skills, creating a unique yet oddly personal fighting style.

“Let’s go!”

“Everyone!”

“We’ll assist the God of Wealth and lend our strength to Fighting God!”

With a single step forward, Gu’s robe began to transform.

Battle armor enveloped his body!

The butcher was coming!

At that moment, Gu’s killing intent surged uncontrollably, the calm demeanor he usually maintained now shattered as his inner rage roared outward in all directions.

“Kill the traitor!”

“Destroy the Star God!”

He didn’t know if the Star God had betrayed the universe, but at this point, it didn’t matter whether the Star God was a traitor or just playing a role.

The only thing they could do, the only way they could help the God of Wealth and Fighting God, was to take on the remnants of the Remnant Universe!

This time, they aimed to take down two true kings of the Remnant Universe for fun!

“This child, just like His Highness, is shrouded in mystery.”

Zhan gripped his azure sword, a smile flickering across his weathered face.

“A mysterious child—I like that!”

“I’m sure His Highness will also take a liking to this current Great Gods of the Ninth Age!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent spatial ripple erupted around them.

In the next moment, Zhan’s way of the sword began to manifest ahead.

“Si Mu, you treacherous dog, come and fight!”

A terrifying surge of sword energy tore through the heavens, slashing directly toward a true king of the Remnant Universe who was closing in on Fighting God.

“Hmph!”

King Si Mu unleashed a barrage of countless eyes, their combined radiant power colliding with the incoming sword energy.

Facing his old rival, King Si Mu held nothing back from the start.

When clashing with a god king-level opponent, no one dared to hold back!

“Boom!”

An earth-shattering explosion reverberated across the two universes, creating massive phenomena that stretched across the sky, lingering for what felt like an eternity.

At that moment, the border warriors of both universes knew—the top-tier figures had engaged in battle.

As more god king-level powerful beings from the Divine Fate Universe joined the fray, the number of true kings of the Remnant Universe surrounding Fighting God dwindled rapidly.

Though the Remnant Universe still held many hidden reserves, how long had it been since the Ninth Age began?

In this early stage of confrontation, how could they afford to reveal all their hidden strengths?

Who would play their trump card so recklessly?

That would just be inviting trouble!

Most importantly, Fighting God was burning everything to ascend to the position of god king, giving the impression that he was ready to embrace Mutual Destruction.

But based on their understanding of Fighting God, he could end this self-sacrificial state at any moment if he wished.

Until Fighting God truly fell, no one could be sure if he genuinely intended to die.

It was a gamble, a battle of wills.

Who would crack under the overwhelming pressure and make the first move?

“The Ninth Age has just begun, and the Divine Fate Universe’s headquarters hasn’t even fully awakened. I refuse to believe Fighting God would seek death at this stage!”

“But what if Fighting God is determined to burn himself and embrace death?”

“……”

For a moment, these two possibilities swirled in the minds of all the true kings of the Remnant Universe.

“Damn it!”

Shadow’s presence clashed with the monk while angrily shouting, “Why does the Fighting God possess such intelligence?

“This is so bizarre!”

“Psychological warfare? Isn’t this the kind of strategy the Star God is best at?”

“Are we actually facing not the Fighting God, but the Star God disguised as the Fighting God?”

“Or does the Fighting God of the Ninth Age possess completely different powers and wisdom compared to the first eight ages?”

“No!”

“It must be the Star God pulling the strings from behind the scenes!”

“Gentlemen, the Star God must be faking his loyalty. His arrival here and the start of this battle must be for… for…”

He trailed off, unable to finish his thought.

Indeed!

If the Star God is pretending to be loyal, what’s his goal in joining the remnants and sparking this war?

Why would he want to kill his own allies?

Why would he provoke a cosmic-level war?

He’s even gone out of his way to engage the current true god of the Ninth Age and completely mess with their head.

If you think about it, from a strategic standpoint, the Divine Fate Universe… suddenly loses two divine fate bearers.

That’s a massive blow to the morale of the Divine Fate Universe!

After all, the Star God’s betrayal is still a mystery.

“Idiot!”

The Curved Dagger couldn’t help but curse after hearing Shadow’s presence.

This fool must’ve been driven mad by the Star Gods of the past!

Does every move the Star God makes have to be part of some grand scheme?

The most important thing is, the allegiance of the Star God of the Ninth Age was part of *my* plan from the start.

Now that the plan’s succeeded, I’ve made a legendary contribution to the Immortal Clan. What’s this guy even doing?

“Who are you calling an idiot?”

Shadow’s presence was furious. After landing a full-force blow that sent the monk reeling, he turned and shouted angrily.

“Clang!”

The deep, resonant toll of a massive brass bell echoed through the air. In the next moment, a giant bronze bell descended from the sky, completely trapping Shadow’s presence inside.

“Benefactor, when fighting this humble monk, it’s best not to lose focus.”

“Otherwise, I might just storm into your clan and send those evildoers under your command straight to the Western Paradise to receive the divine guidance of my Buddha.”

“The voice of my Buddha, boundless in mercy and compassion!”

“The fruits of my Buddha, infinite in gentleness and kindness!”

“All is contained within, Amitabha!”

As the monk chanted scriptures with his hands pressed together, surrounded by sacred texts, the glowing inscriptions on the bronze bell grew brighter and brighter.

Of course, as an old rival, the monk knew he couldn’t kill Shadow’s presence on his own.

But killing him wasn’t the point. As long as he could trap his opponent, annoy him, and chip away even a fraction of his power, that would be more than enough.
