Chapter 530: Almost There

“I understand.”

The God of Theater nodded slightly and said softly, “I always wondered, why did you have such a big issue with Xiao Feng the first time you met?”

“Back then, Xiao Feng was a bit naive. He felt something and just blurted it out.”

“If you say everything right when you first meet, it just makes things awkward for everyone, don’t you think?”

Su Wen chuckled and then said, “So that’s why you stopped Xiao Feng from talking further and even made him do the assignment for ‘Dou E’s Injustice,’ right?”

The God of Theater waved his hand and said, “At that time, I was at the Emperor Level, and you had just awakened. Even if you tried to hide your emotional fluctuations, it made no difference in front of me.”

As he spoke, the God of Theater glanced at the Wind God and sighed, “But I’m not like some foolish kids who feel the need to confront things head-on the moment they sense something.”

“You were the newly awakened God of Wealth, and it was your first time in the organization.”

“In a way, you shouldn’t have even heard of the Wind God, let alone have an opinion about him!”

“But when I spoke to Xiao Feng, and you greeted him, you were all calm and gentle.”

“Yet, when Xiao Feng revealed he was the Wind God, your expression shifted to confusion and wariness.”

“From that single change in expression, I could gather a lot of information.”

The God of Theater paused for a moment before continuing, “First, it suggested that you, the God of Wealth, might possess the ability of foresight or some means to predict the future.”

“And in your vision, Xiao Feng must have done something you found unacceptable.”

“Of course, I didn’t think of this at first, nor could I have.”

“You weren’t predicting the future or anything like that; you actually went to the future, witnessed what happened, and then returned.”

Wind God: “…”

Wait, did the God of Wealth really reveal that much back then?

Why didn’t he notice it at all?

Thinking back, he felt a bit wronged.

He had only wanted to greet the newly arrived God of Wealth out of curiosity.

After all, who wouldn’t be curious about the God of Wealth?

But he had just introduced himself, and he could clearly sense the turmoil of emotions in the God of Wealth.

Then, that raw rejection left him completely baffled.

What had he done?

Why was there such rejection?

Wasn’t it just a simple greeting?

Was the God of Wealth really that hard to approach?

Now that he thought about it, he realized his past self had been a bit foolish.

Though it had been less than a year since he met the God of Wealth,

So much had happened in that time that he felt as though he had grown and transformed significantly.

Of course, he has definitely grown.

As for how much he has grown, his cultivation has undergone a tremendous change!

“I’ve never claimed to predict the future,” Su Wen said with a smile. “I just happen to know a bit more about what’s coming than you all do.”

The Star God and the God of Theater exchanged glances; indeed, who could foresee the future better than him?

If anyone had known he had such a knack, who would’ve argued with him about it?

That would’ve been just asking for trouble!

“By the way, Xiao Feng killing someone actually makes sense,” the Star God suddenly said. “Think about it—what happened to Xiao Feng’s body in the last sub-timeline?”

“There were more holes in his body than in a sieve!”

“So, after seeing you, his mind was thrown into chaos, and he ended up doing something unexpected. That seems… pretty reasonable, doesn’t it?”

“After all, the God of Wealth dying and coming back to life is a pretty big deal.”

“If it were during wartime, doing something like that for secrecy would make sense.”

Wind God: “……”

Even though he’d already heard about his own miserable state from the God of Theater, listening to everyone discuss it still felt… off.

It was like being stripped naked while everyone gathered around to gawk at his backside.

Soon, amidst the mix of serious and lighthearted discussions, Su Wen and the God of Theater finished their preparations.

Drawing from their last experience, they even took the time to document Mo Xiaosu’s basic situation before leaving.

They wanted to be ready to explain the state of the main Time and Space if they ran into the Shadow God during their exploration of the future sub-timelines.

Especially since Mo Xiaosu had shown off a few abilities unique to the Shadow God, just to prove her identity.

“Buzz!”

“Buzz!”

Two invisible ripples flickered in the air, and then Su Wen and the God of Theater vanished in an instant.

“I wonder when I’ll get to visit the sub-timelines,” the Wind God muttered, staring at the spot where Su Wen had disappeared.

“Don’t worry!” the Star God said with a grin. “It won’t be long. I’d say you’ll get your chance soon enough.”

“Take the most recent sub-timeline, for example—where you pretended to betray us but were actually spying in the Arrow Realm to gather intel for the main Time and Space. You didn’t die there, did you?”

“So, no need to rush.”

As he spoke, the Star God turned to Mo Xiaosu and added, “You’ll get your turn soon too.”

Mo Xiaosu: "……"

Actually, her thoughts were different from the Wind God’s; she believed it was better to take things slow.

After all, the cost of wandering around in the sub-timelines was the death of her counterpart there.

Given her personality, she deeply cared for and sympathized with the unredeemed Shadow God of the sub-timelines.

Just thinking about it made her feel sad.

So, she felt fortunate!

"Um, Star God,"

Fighting God spoke up timidly, "Did you forget about me?"

The Star God glanced at Fighting God and said with a sigh, "Isn’t our hint clear enough? Fighting God, what are you still confused about?"

"In the sub-timelines, only the dead can pass!"

"And you!"

"Will not die!"

"The Legacy Clan won’t let you die!"

"If you don’t die in the sub-timelines, how can you pass from the main Time and Space?"

"So, no matter what, you can’t go!"

These words hit Fighting God like a bolt of lightning, striking deep into his heart.

For the first time, he felt that his unyielding fate was such a burden!

It was painful to see everyone else able to go while he was left behind!

He really wanted to visit the sub-timelines and see the future world shaped by time.

Most importantly, it was time travel!

After defeating the Legacy Clan and standing at the pinnacle together, wouldn’t he be able to brag about his adventures?

Not to mention, when everyone gathered together, they would have common topics about this, while he would be left out?

That… didn’t seem fair, did it?

“It’s fine; at least every time there’s a journey to the sub-timelines, someone will be here to keep me company.”

Fighting God nodded slightly, trying to comfort himself.

The Star God raised an eyebrow and bluntly said, “I remember the God of Wealth mentioned there are a few sub-timelines where, apart from you, everyone is dead.”

Fighting God: “……”
