Chapter 523: The Execution Power of the River of Fate

"Can you take me to the altar you just mentioned?"

Su Wen’s eyes sparkled as he asked.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that years ago, a meteor fell near the Holy Spirit clan, triggering a Great Change within them.

The situation with the Ghost Spirit clan was likely similar.

Therefore, the so-called altar for sacrificing the God of Wealth might very well be a scheme by the fallen clan!

"Great God, this way!"

The leading Demigod didn’t hesitate. He stepped aside slightly and extended his right hand, much like a hotel attendant guiding a guest to their room.

"In that case, summon all the Demigods of your clan here."

Su Wen glanced at the Demigod wielding a hammer and said softly, "You stay here and guard the home."

At these words, the leading Demigod trembled.

He knew the punishment for past events was about to unfold.

This trip to the altar might very well end in death for everyone…

"Some matters should indeed be left for you to handle."

The leading Demigod smiled faintly, then waved his right hand. A flurry of administrative information materialized into words that began to float around them.

"Elder brother, haven’t you always handled these matters?"

The Demigod wielding a hammer looked around in confusion and asked, "And you know I’ve never dealt with such things."

"The matters you handle are all critical. If one is mishandled, it could affect countless beings in the clan. That’s why I’ve been hesitant."

Hearing this, the leading Demigod chuckled. "There’s nothing to fear. Trust me, soon… things won’t be so complicated."

Yes!

The Great God of Wealth had come to settle scores.

Soon, the clan’s numbers might drop to a shocking low.

"Let’s go!"

Su Wen said, "Don’t waste time. My time is precious."

With that, Su Wen turned and strode toward the palace exit.

The leading Demigod didn’t dare hesitate and quickly followed Su Wen out.

"Elder brother…"

The Demigod wielding a hammer watched the two figures leave and murmured softly.

He understood that this farewell might very well be permanent.

Moments later, within the Ghost Spirit realm, a message audible only to Demigod-level beings began to echo.

Soon, streaks of light flickered across the sky.

When all the Demigods of the Ghost Spirit clan gathered outside the altar, they saw Su Wen clad in the Battle Robe of Wealth.

This scene left them utterly shocked.

So much so that some Demigods, driven by their instincts, were about to attack Su Wen.

“For your sins, end yourself!”

With a mere thought, Su Wen activated the energy wave of the God of Wealth’s Mark.

In the next moment, several Demigods of the Ghost Spirit clan found their bodies suddenly out of their control.

Then, a violent and overwhelming energy wave burst forth from within them.

“Boom!”

The deafening sound of self-destruction roared like the most terrifying demon in the world, causing all Demigods of the Ghost Spirit clan to tremble in fear.

In an instant, former comrades all perished?

What kind of power is this?

Is this the true might of the Great God of Wealth?

Unlike the terrified reactions of the Demigods of the Ghost Spirit clan, Su Wen turned his gaze to the Altar of the God of Wealth at the center, gleaming like gold and adorned with precious stones.

The faceless statue at the very top caught his attention.

Have the Demigod clans of the Ninth Age forgotten even the appearance of their revered true god?

[Great God of Wealth! Congratulations, you’ve finally encountered the fallen clan’s scheme targeting the rear headquarters.]

[But given your current strength, you can’t see through the fallen clan’s illusions.]

[The Altar of the God of Wealth, which appears grand and noble to you, is still filled with hidden corruption.]

[……]

Su Wen noticed the subtitles flickering in the chaos in the time and space interface, realizing that the river of time had sensed the aura of riches trading and had come out to meet clients.

Honestly, it was his first time seeing the river of time in the main Time and Space act so urgently.

This business deal must be significant.

“Stop beating around the bush. Just tell me, how much wealth is needed to remove the fallen clan’s illusions?”

Su Wen asked inwardly, well aware of the dark river’s usual tricks.

If that’s the case, let’s not play games.

You name your price, and if it’s reasonable, I’ll pay.

[Generous God of Wealth! Everyone in the river of time is in awe of your heroic demeanor and noble heart.]

[Since you’ve said so, there’s no need for further introductions.]

[After all, our relationship has already reached a level of intimacy unimaginable to others.]

[Fixed price: ten million riches. The river of time will use its power to strip away the fallen clan’s superficial decorations and reveal their true evil before you.]

“Ten million riches?”

Su Wen frowned slightly and then continued inwardly, “Are there follow-up projects? For example, after removing the fallen clan’s powers, are there other products waiting for me to buy?”

“And these products are necessities.”

“If you clarify this upfront, I’ll consider the price. Otherwise, I won’t pay the ten million riches.”

Given the river of time’s nature, it wouldn’t be so friendly just for ten million riches.

Look at those flattering words—heroic demeanor, noble heart!

Though the river of time in the main Time and Space differs from those in the sub-timelines, the elaborate setup of the last return process and the reception palace’s hidden benefits suggest that the main Time and Space likely has substantial riches too.

Otherwise, why would it be so “friendly” to him?

Thus, the river of time in the main Time and Space might value ten million riches, but it wouldn’t grovel just for that.

Considering the sub-timelines’ history of exploiting him, this is clearly not a one-time deal.

There are probably many additional products waiting for him to purchase.

No need to rush regarding the riches.

Just ask, then see.

It’s not too late to decide once everything is clear.

As for the river of time’s mockery?

What a joke!

Having visited sub-timelines so many times, his skin had already been thickened by their classic sarcastic remarks.

Besides, as a friend of the River of Fate, how could he openly support the river of time?

If the river of time can do this, surely the River of Fate can too!

Even if the River of Fate can’t handle it right now, he just needs to wait a bit. With the River of Fate’s power, this matter will soon be resolved.

He has full confidence in the River of Fate’s ability to undermine the river of time’s interests.
