Chapter 528: The Unique Leisure Activity of the God of Wealth

"Ah, by the way, let’s not mention the misunderstanding with the God of Theater just yet," the Star God said, changing the subject.

"Why not?" Su Wen asked, surprised and confused.

Normally, shouldn’t such a misunderstanding be cleared up right away? After all, he wasn’t some pitiful figure, even if things did look a bit grim. Compared to the bleak scenario the God of Theater had imagined, Su Wen felt he was actually quite fortunate.

"Because of this misunderstanding, the God of Theater is now full of energy, driven by a sense of purpose, and wants to help improve your situation in the future," the Star God explained with a smile. "The Wind God has even deleted all his games."

"Even the videos, TV shows, and movies the Wind God loved have all been removed," the Star God added.

"And the Shadow God, who originally thought she was quite unfortunate, now feels less so after comparing her situation to yours. So, she’s gone into seclusion to cultivate, hoping to better understand the path of shadows and ascend to true godhood soon."

The Star God paused, then continued in a slightly awkward tone, "As for the Fighting God? He just followed your advice, bought two bottles of wine, and planned to get a little tipsy today to relive some old memories. But just as he was gathering some drinking buddies to enjoy the wine, he received the messages from the God of Theater."

"So…" The Star God trailed off, leaving the rest unsaid.

But Su Wen understood. The Fighting God, who had been ready to relax with some wine, had suddenly realized the heavy burden the God of Wealth—Su Wen—was carrying. He probably started reflecting on his past experiences, feeling guilty and thinking he hadn’t been a good person. Now, he’d likely throw himself into training, fighting harder, and striving to improve.

"I was thinking that the future isn’t as complicated as it seems," Su Wen said after a moment of thought. "Even as we gradually reap the rewards from the previous few eras, it’s reasonable for everyone to relieve stress through some entertainment. After all, people can’t stay tense all the time—it’ll lead to problems sooner or later."

The Star God looked at Su Wen intently and asked, "What about you? What are your leisure activities?"

When Su Wen didn’t respond, the Star God pressed on, "The Fighting God loves making friends and drinking, the Wind God enjoys playing games, and the Shadow God likes reading. As for the God of Theater, I’m not sure what he liked in his youth, but you know his ambitions—he wants our Huaxia theater to flourish. We all have hobbies. What about you? What do you like? What are your leisure activities? Is it witnessing the future? Is it constantly working to enhance everyone’s strength? Or is it piling endless pressure on yourself, pushing yourself toward a mental breakdown one day?"

Listening to the Star God’s pointed questions, Su Wen fell into deep thought.

Moments later, he asked curiously, "You’ve given so many examples of others. What about you? What do you enjoy?"

"Do you like fixing the Starry Array?"

"Or do you find joy in handling busy government affairs?"

"Or maybe you prefer diving into a sea of schemes and plots?"

"You don’t even have your own hobbies or ways to relax, yet you criticize me?"

"……"

Su Wen knew the Star God quite well.

Having spent so much time across various sub-timelines, he was familiar with the Star God’s habits and circumstances.

In some sub-timelines, the future Star God would even vent to him about his own issues.

Even the Fighting God had more effective ways to relax than the Star God, didn’t he?

After all, the Star God didn’t seem to have any entertainment activities.

"You…"

The Star God looked at Su Wen as he listed his concerns, ready to speak, but then hesitated.

If it were just a simple debate or a brainstorming session among comrades, he felt he could easily outwit the God of Wealth.

But was it necessary?

Moreover, the God of Wealth had a point.

He had been so focused on the God of Wealth’s relaxation methods, but what about his own?

Since the moment he awakened as the Star God, how long had it been since he last laughed carefreely?

At this thought, the Star God fell into a rare silence.

Seeing the Star God quiet, Su Wen also stopped talking.

Indeed!

What were his own entertainment activities?

Slapping the higher-ups of the remnants?

Or cursing at the river of time?

Admittedly, these were quite effective ways to unwind.

Ever since he slapped the remnants’ leaders and watched them fume helplessly, even getting injured from the recalibration of the river of time, his mood had significantly improved.

The negative emotions that had built up inside him were also greatly relieved.

Even though he couldn’t defeat them yet and wasn’t qualified to face them, that didn’t stop him from slapping their faces.

Seeing them angry yet powerless against him was simply satisfying!

"It seems I should visit the river of time more often for this kind of entertainment!"

Su Wen thought, "I should also check if the River of Fate offers similar services."

"For example, directly pulling over the opponent’s consciousness, suppressing their cultivation, and then using the River of Fate’s boxing gloves to beat them."

"The thrill of each punch landing is actually quite enjoyable."

Thinking this, Su Wen suddenly paused, then said helplessly, "Why does my way of unwinding seem a bit off?"

"Others play games, eat, travel, or enjoy private comforts like foot baths, but somehow mine turned into this?"

"But it doesn’t matter, as long as it feels good in my heart!"

……

May 15, 2023.

During this period, Huaxia’s development has been incredibly rapid.

Every day brings something new!

Even under Huaxia’s leadership, the member countries of the human alliance, which were like prototypes, began to undergo significant changes.

The technology of the next two hundred years, even with the support of the Star God’s Divine Artifacts, cannot be fully absorbed and integrated in just a few years.

The epoch-making achievement during this time was the creation of the smart brain.

In fact, the Star God took the time to learn about smart brain technology to make things easier for everyone, directly experimenting and developing it within the Starry Array.

Finally, with Su Wen’s financial support, the sustainable growth-type smart brain, codenamed Star Spirit, was born in the heart of the Starry Array.

Fighting God had once had a sudden urge during combat, thinking that the Star Spirit might encounter problems in the future.

After all, he had seen in many sci-fi blockbusters how various artificial intelligences betrayed humanity, even carrying out commands to eliminate humans.

Perhaps it was just a fantasy, but considering the pace of artificial intelligence technology development, it can’t be ruled out that it might become a possibility in the future.

First of all, regarding Fighting God’s startling speculation, the Star God expressed his agreement.

Indeed, there was nothing wrong with Fighting God’s guess.

In the future, the possibility of artificial intelligence betraying humanity would exist, but no matter how you look at it, their real-world foundation was different from the fictional scenarios in movies.

In his hands, if the Star Spirit ever dared to entertain any thoughts of betraying the Human Race, he could likely erase it without a second thought.

As a Demigod and true god, did he even need to worry about such things?
