Chapter 578

"Poof~"

King of Flesh Mountain spewed out true blood containing the rules of the Remnant Universe, and in the next moment, his terrifyingly powerful form, akin to a moving galaxy, shattered into pieces under the sword light that annihilated everything.

"Daring to ambush the Great God of Wealth, it seems you won’t be leaving today!"

An ancient bell rang out in the sky, and a middle-aged monk in a cassock appeared above.

After silently nodding at Su Wen, he took a step forward, his palm resembling a force that could suppress the world, as he pressed down towards the retreating position of King of Flesh Mountain.

"Hurry and heal!"

Suddenly, a sinister voice emerged nearby.

A bizarre figure, moving with a terrifying gray shadow that obscured the sky, appeared and confronted the monk directly.

"Good, I’ll leave this to you!"

King of Flesh Mountain gasped, then without any hesitation, flew back into the depths of the Remnant Universe at top speed.

As he crossed the boundary line, King of Flesh Mountain quietly glanced at the Star God.

The Star God, who was controlling the dark stars and bombarding the Great God of Wealth, seemed to sense it as well, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

"Ha!"

Curved Dagger couldn’t help but mock internally at the sight of King of Flesh Mountain’s defeat: "Is this the level you’re at? Trying to block the gun?"

"Truly… you deserve it!"

As a True King, he wouldn’t purposely say things to incite hatred, but he felt that way because of the doubts that the other had shown earlier.

Doubt me? How amusing!

How could I possibly be the traitor?

If I were a traitor, would I work so hard to befriend the Star God and pull this celestial officer’s most influential Star God to the Remnant Universe during the Ninth Age?

…

At the same time, on the other side.

"The aura of the sword pill exploding?"

Rui sensed it and instantly turned her gaze to the area where war was erupting.

In the next moment, her sword pill, nurtured for billions of years, suddenly appeared before her.

"The sword pill, it was obviously still here…

What on earth is happening?"

"My sword pill, could it be that there’s another one in the heavens and the earth?"

"But the power that the Great God of Wealth is using, at this moment, truly seems to be the sword energy I’ve condensed and infused."

Thinking this, her brows furrowed tightly.

She then shifted her gaze to the jade pendant that the Deity of Wealth had handed to her.

At that instant, she felt a strong urge to open the pendant and uncover the information it held.

But she had already made a promise to the Deity of Wealth, so she couldn’t do that.

There was also a minor reason: she was concerned it might disrupt the battle’s arrangements.

If her curiosity messed up the plans, she would regret it for the rest of her life!

"Buzz!"

A ripple in space shimmered, and Gu, dressed in a battle robe, emerged from the ripple.

"Rui, I sensed your way of the sword from that overwhelming sword energy."

Facing Gu’s question, Rui paused briefly before nodding, "It was the sword pill I gave to the Deity of Wealth."

Gu: "???"

Is that really the case?

Knowing Rui as he did, she wouldn’t hand over such a potent sword pill without a significant reason.

But if Rui had indeed given it to the Deity of Wealth just now, that was somewhat different from his initial assumptions.

Thinking this over, Gu looked at Rui with a puzzled expression.

"What? You don’t believe me?"

Rui raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Not at all, I just find it a bit odd."

Gu shook his head slightly and then softly asked, "Now that the war has broken out over there, are you going to help?"

Rui thought for a moment and said, "I will go."

"Alright, I understand."

Gu’s eyes flashed, then he waved to Rui and disappeared on the spot.

Rui watched Gu’s departing figure and pondered his cryptic words.

"This guy, what does he understand?"

"Could it be that the Deity of Wealth took out the sword pill that should be in my hands, which represents… what?"

"Is it like the battle, capable of rewriting the past?"

"Could this be the battle’s arrangement?"

"Yes!"

"Perhaps!"

"Once the final arrangements are complete, the battle might Return!"

The more Rui thought, the more excited she became, and soon her aura surged and erupted.

At that moment, she focused her thoughts and began contacting her comrades from the First Age, sharing this speculation with them.

Deity of Wealth!

This was the only hope for the battle to return!

……

Meanwhile, in the war zone.

“Star God!??”

“You actually attacked me?”

“You actually want to kill me?”

“I came to bring you home, yet you want to kill me?”

“……”

Su Wen roared vehemently, as if the Star God’s actions shattered his worldview and shook his very soul.

After his furious outcry, he descended into complete madness!

Thus, every move made by Su Wen followed the logic of a normal person.

One hidden card after another, one secret after another, Su Wen frantically threw out.

As Su Wen tossed out his hidden cards, the veterans from the Fighting God’s legion of the First Age felt their powers calling to them, casting incredulous looks in his direction.

Just like Rui’s surprise, they were equally astonished.

Had the Deity of Wealth… not communicated with them?

Moreover, the power they nurtured was still in their hands!

How did the Deity of Wealth unleash their strength?

“Gu, do you know what’s going on?”

“Yeah! Gu, you are our sage from the First Age; you must understand the reasoning behind this!”

“The Deity of Wealth can freely wield our power without our consent; there must be something strange about this!”

“……”

The elderly members of the Fighting God left behind in office all came to ask Gu.

Gu’s eyelids twitched; to be honest, this had surprised him too.

In his observations, it seemed the Deity of Wealth in Office had some tie to the First Age.

Especially when he mentioned Rui, the fleeting respect that appeared in the Deity of Wealth’s eyes made him suspect they must know Rui.

He also knew the Deity of Wealth must hold some god king-level trump cards.

However, he never expected that the trump card held by the Deity of Wealth would be the power of these old comrades.

Even among them was his own strength stored away.

This…

In that moment, Gu’s brain raced with thoughts.

He knew that the Fighting God in Office had the ability to cross time and space to go to the past.

The Deity of Wealth should have that ability too, right?

But that shouldn’t be!

If the other side had such power, they should know the Deity of Wealth in Office.

Yet everyone, including Gu, showed unfamiliarity with this celestial officer.

Could it be that they knew him but lost their memories of the Deity of Wealth due to unknown powers?

Perhaps that was the only explanation!

“Rui, I’ll ask you one more time, was that sword pill given to the Deity of Wealth by you?”

Gu took a deep breath and asked sternly.

Rui: “……”

What time was it, and why was Gu still fixated on this?

Wasn’t it obvious?

She thought about how the child had called her master’s wife and how he had no secrets from her.

So hiding it a little for him didn’t seem like much, right?

But it turned out… being unclear about the situation was a bit hasty.

There really was no need for concealment!
