Chapter 588

"Is there anything else?"

The Battle Master asked as he sat at the desk.

"That’s it."

Su Wen shook his head and said, "There are only forty-five letters that need replies. Everything else should be fine."

"Of course, if possible, after we finish training, you could record a projection or something."

The Battle Master slowly stood up and repeated, "Really, nothing else?"

"Nothing."

"…"

After getting Su Wen’s confirmation again, the Battle Master fell into a long silence.

In his memory, he commanded countless heroic soldiers!

The various legions were filled with powerful beings.

One by one, he could recall their names, the friends who had once shone in the world, the ones who loved him and whom he also loved—now… only forty-five people remained?

"Sigh!"

A sorrowful sigh escaped, sealing the Battle Master’s heart with gloom.

"Although I prepared myself for the complete destruction of the First Age, seeing such heavy casualties still fills me with guilt."

"It’s my fault; everything… is my sin!"

Su Wen comforted him, saying, "Battle Master, it’s not your fault; who could have predicted the Will of the Remnant Universe would act?"

The Battle Master gently shook his head and replied, "No, based on my strength at the time, as long as I had my guard up, even the will of the cosmos couldn’t have harmed me!"

Su Wen was shocked. The Battle Master was that powerful back then?

If viewed this way, he might… begin to understand why the will of the cosmos did not intervene.

Was it because the Battle Master was too strong, fearing that he would deal with the Remnants and turn against it?

"But saying this now won’t change anything."

The Battle Master rubbed his forehead and murmured to himself, "It seems I am destined to fade away in the passage of time in the First Age."

Su Wen looked at him, unsure of how to comfort him.

What could he say?

Should he comfort him by saying that having forty-five people left in the First Age wasn’t too bad?

Indeed, compared to the Second Age, the First Age was still alright.

In the Second Age, when the Star God was on duty, not a single person was left.

Everyone was dead!

Even for unknown reasons, the Second Age left no significant mark behind.

Whenever he inquired about the Second Age, others always seemed deeply wary.

"Alright, being sentimental doesn’t help anything."

The Battle Master turned his gaze to Su Wen and said, "It’s because of the Remnants that our cosmos has fallen to this state."

"So, making the Remnants feel the same sorrow is the real strategy!"

He paused, then added, "Come on, God of Wealth!"

"Show me how far you’ve come with your Battle Style Secret Techniques!"

"After this, we’ll keep training!"

Su Wen nodded, "Got it."

With that, Su Wen unleashed all his power and charged at the Battle Master instantly.

The Battle Master, calm as ever, kept his aura at the true god level and stood ready, spear in hand, to face Su Wen.

It was clear to see that Su Wen was being completely outmatched by the Battle Master.

After all, he was the most powerful Fighting God in history; his unmatched combat power was no joke.

…

Time flew by, and five years later.

Normally, the Battle Master would have disintegrated four years ago.

But Su Wen knew this time was incredibly valuable, especially since the River of Time had promised a tenfold increase in resource value—a rare opportunity indeed.

So, he used resources from the main Time and Space to make a deal with the River of Time.

He extended his time by four years!

This time, he aimed to fully grasp the prototype of the Battle Style Secret Techniques using his true god-level strength.

Even a temporary Fighting God state would be a great achievement!

Realizing Su Wen had returned to the main Time and Space, the Battle Master adjusted his teaching methods to quickly enhance Su Wen’s skills in various branches of the Battle Style Secret Techniques.

It wasn’t too much; the Battle Master’s techniques were just a combination of four thousand two hundred and eighty comprehensive secret techniques.

If only resources could be directly allocated, otherwise for any other divine fate bearer, even with exceptional talent, it would be extremely tough!

At that moment, Su Wen truly grasped how powerful the innate abilities of the Fighting God were.

For others to fully master these skills, the cost would be enormous—far too much to bear.

Each perfect and complete Fighting God technique and combat secret linked together was incredibly hard to cultivate, especially as one progressed further.

The typical Favorite of the Heavens might spend their entire life trying to master just one secret technique to perfection.

And that’s not even considering the rest!

Upon realizing the miraculous ability of resource allocation, the Battle Master was filled with many thoughts.

After all, Su Wen’s combat talent was indeed somewhat lacking in the Battle Master’s eyes.

But perhaps this innate property of resources meant that only the God of Wealth could successfully cultivate the Battle Style Secret Techniques he had created.

Honestly, he hadn’t believed before that the God of Wealth could succeed in his cultivation.

What he held was the understanding that since the Deity of Wealth in Office had arrived, he would teach him his most powerful secret techniques.

At the same time, he would enhance the Deity of Wealth’s combat power.

It was not fitting for a true god to have such weak combat power, was it?

If he couldn’t even compete with opponents of the same level, it was somewhat embarrassing.

Not to mention being on par with him; at the very least, he should be the most powerful among his comrades!

In the Ninth Age, the Fighting God did not hold office!

As a true god in office, it was unacceptable that he couldn’t even defeat his non-office successor!

To his surprise, there was a real possibility that the other party could succeed in cultivation!

That was excellent!

The future for the Deity of Wealth in Office was worth looking forward to!

"Alright, you should have a basic understanding now."

With a wave of his hand, the Battle Master brought Su Wen, who was in the throes of intense training, down to the ground in an instant.

"I’ve walked you through the entire process."

"If you have a grasp of the situation, then I think… it should be enough."

"So, I hope that the next time we meet, you can give me a surprise in my unfamiliar state!"

As he spoke, the Battle Master paused, then smiled and said, "If possible, I hope that one day in the future, my true self can have a real match with you."

"I believe only the Deity of Wealth in Office, who has cultivated the Battle Style Secret Techniques, can engage in a fair duel with me."

"The feeling of being invincible is not easy either."

Su Wen: "……"

Was he trying to humble himself in front of me?

Invincible?

If he were truly invincible, would he be so anxious and nervous?

On the side of the Star God, perhaps they wouldn’t need to plot so extensively or risk their lives to infiltrate the Remnant Universe, right?

Although he wasn’t concerned about the intellect of the Star God, who could say about the Remnants?

What if the Remnants decided to go after the Star God for some reason?

Even though the Star God was a god king, he was just one person; could he withstand that?

There were many doubts surrounding that.

"Alright, I won’t say much more."

The Battle Master’s expression turned serious as he said, "I have a favor to ask of you."

"During this time, I have been observing the operational mechanism of this magical space you control."

"By crossing time and space, the future you can communicate with the past me here."

"So… if you have the chance to meet my true self in the future, be sure to convey this to him."

"While being cautious of the Will of the Remnant Universe, also be wary of the will of the cosmos on our side!"

"If necessary, if you can erase the will of the cosmos, then do it!"

"Only a will of the cosmos that belongs to our own people is the best!"
