Chapter 587

Upon meeting the Fighting God, he immediately produced the trace left by the Battle Master without any hesitation.

During the battlefield’s events, when the river of time punished the Leader of the Remnant, the Fighting God detected a mysterious energy within the divine position.

He planned to inquire Su Wen about it upon his return, but unexpectedly, Su Wen had already taken his companions back to Earth.

When Su Wen returned, before the Fighting God could pose his questions, Su Wen had already disclosed all the information he was curious about.

This left the Fighting God astonished; was it possible that his intended questions were so evident on his face?

Or perhaps the Brother God of Wealth had developed the same keen observational skills as the Star God?

Puzzled, he refrained from any unnecessary remarks.

Even after Su Wen departed, he remained in place, deep in thought about life.

It appeared that his ability to control his emotions needed significant improvement.

Otherwise, his thoughts would be transparent to anyone observing him.

“Perhaps, this is the very reason for the existence of memory crystals!”

Su Wen stepped into the trading space and, upon seeing the essence of the current Fighting God in his hand, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Since his counterpart in the sub-timelines had already interacted with the Battle Master, he had preserved the memory crystal to easily access the latest training results of the Battle Master.

Otherwise, traveling across time and space to seek out the Battle Master for a conversation, only to find that the opportunity had already been used, would indeed be quite awkward, wouldn’t it?

“Boom————”

The environment around the trading space began to shift colors as the essence of the current Fighting God dissipated.

Soon, the familiar scene of a blood-red sea started to emerge.

Su Wen stood still, observing the familiar surroundings, including the gradually solidifying figure of the Battle Master.

“Hello…”

The Battle Master looked at Su Wen and was about to speak, but Su Wen cut him off immediately.

“Battle Master, we meet again.”

Hearing this, the Battle Master was momentarily stunned. After observing Su Wen for a few moments, he asked in confusion, “I notice your life trace is constant, without any deviation. Are you not as I expected?”

Su Wen smiled and responded, “Battle Master, this is our third meeting. Just as you suspected, this is the sub-timelines, but I am not the sub-timeline’s God of Wealth.”

Battle Master: “?”

The life trace is constant, and there is no deviation in the marks of time.

Yet here we are in the sub-timelines, but the person before me is not the sub-timeline’s God of Wealth?

Is he going in circles with himself?

“Battle Master, time is precious. Let’s attend to business while I explain everything to you!”

Su Wen extended his right hand, and a multitude of letters and projection beads appeared in his grasp.

Then, Rui’s projection appeared before the Battle Master.

"Battle Master, long time no see…"

Rui looked ahead and spoke with deep affection.

The Battle Master furrowed his brow slightly, lost in thought.

After a moment, he said something that shocked Su Wen.

"Who is this?"

"???"

Su Wen was puzzled; had the Battle Master become so carefree that he no longer recognized his Close Friend?

"Think about it; this is your Close Friend!"

"Is that so?"

The Battle Master thought for a moment, then said, "Since you say so, it must be true!"

As he spoke, the Battle Master seemed to notice Su Wen’s twitching mouth and some of his thoughts, and quietly explained, "Since we have met two or three times, you should know my general situation, right?"

"This trace of consciousness was left here by my true self before it fell."

"And to be honest, such a woman doesn’t fit my criteria for a partner!"

Su Wen took a deep breath and silently turned off the recording stone.

It was better for Rui, the Master Lady, not to know this.

"Your Close Friend’s name is Rui."

"…”

After a moment of thought, the Battle Master said, "I have some impression of Rui."

"But if I remember correctly, she is a commander under my command."

"My life creed is to avoid romantic involvement with my subordinates; I do not engage in romantic relationships within the legion."

"This does not align with my military philosophy and could greatly interfere with my future battlefield commands."

Su Wen scratched his head, not quite understanding the Battle Master’s reasoning.

It couldn’t be that Rui, the Master Lady, was engaged in a self-dramatizing romance, right?

That seemed unlikely!

After all, Master Zhan and others had not contradicted Rui’s words, indicating that this matter was true.

So… did the Fighting God of the First Age begin to violate his own principles and start a romance with his legion commander after separating a trace of his consciousness to hide in the river of time?

That was a bit absurd, but considering the Battle Master’s secret romantic history, it wasn’t impossible.

What can I say?

Abandoning the mindset of imposing morals on others and respecting their personality and destiny.

"Then Battle Master, this can’t be wrong, right?"

Su Wen raised his right hand, and the letter written by Master Zhan appeared in his hand.

“Uncle…”

After taking the letter, the Battle Master sighed softly.

With his strength, he could have read this letter countless times in an instant.

But he chose to read Master Zhan’s message carefully, word by word.

“Eight Ages are indeed enough to erase everything over such a long time.”

As he spoke, the Battle Master looked up and said, “Wealth God, could you help me deliver a reply to my uncle?”

Su Wen smiled and replied, “Of course, no problem!”

After sending the reply, the Battle Master felt that Master Zhan would be much more at ease.

“By the way,”

Su Wen suddenly added, “Battle Master, I told Master Zhan… that you’re not dead, but you can’t return because of certain arrangements.”

Hearing this, the Battle Master stiffened and then fell silent.

After a moment, he said softly, “Perhaps your approach was the right one.”

“Given the current time, my uncle’s age is indeed quite advanced.”

“I… because of my poor decisions, not only harmed you in the following Ages but also hurt my relatives and friends.”

After speaking, the Battle Master slowly sat down.

In an instant, a desk, ink, and all the necessary writing tools appeared before him.

The surrounding sea of blood seemed to serve as a backdrop for the Battle Master’s writing at that moment.

Starting with Master Zhan’s letter, the Battle Master remembered everyone else.

He began replying to each letter one by one, carefully packaging them and adding personal messages to each.

Only for Rui, the Master Lady’s reply did the Battle Master struggle to find the right words.

After some thought, he wrote simply:

“All is well, do not worry!”

Su Wen asked softly, “Is that enough?”

Rui, the Master Lady, had an almost obsessive love for the Battle Master.

A woman of extraordinary beauty and an unmatched powerful being, she had openly spoken of sharing a husband with other women.

In Su Wen’s eyes, she had already sacrificed a great deal.

Of course, there might also have been some factors specific to the era at play.

“I imagine it as if it were my other close companions; if Zixin were in this situation, I might reply the same way.”

The Battle Master waved his hand and said, “So it’s likely not a problem.”

Su Wen: “…”

What could he say?

Was this the advantage of being an emotional expert?
