Chapter 141
"God of Martial Arts, luck is such a mysterious thing," the God of Theater glanced at Ao Xiu and transmitted his voice. "If this Little White Dragon really has such good luck, maybe we shouldn’t kill him so casually. It could cause problems."
"Of course, I have another idea. Since you say he can inherit your divine status, that suggests he must have some connection to the God of Wealth. Think about it; isn’t there something of yours attached to this Little White Dragon?"
"According to this Little White Dragon, he has had smooth sailing and good luck since birth, attracting wealth without any hindrance. Doesn’t it sound like he resembles the God of Wealth even more than you do?"
Su Wen let out a bitter laugh and replied, "Don’t say you feel that way; I feel it too. How did the symbol of wealth, the God of Wealth, become so poor in my case?"
Being poor was just one aspect. On the other hand, he was quite unlucky. Before crossing the timeline into the future sub-timelines, he encountered all sorts of fresh ways of dying. Given the uniqueness of the God of Wealth, it was understandable that the beings from the Arrow Realm would go mad trying to kill him. But the situations he found himself in when visiting the sub-timelines were equally disastrous.
The first time, he was directly devoured by a ferocious beast. The second time, while hesitating outside Jiang City, he disrupted wartime regulations and was shot by the city guards. The third time, while studying martial arts theories in Jiang City, a war broke out within, a traitor emerged victorious, and a wave of black energy entered his body, causing him to go berserk and die. The fourth time was an accident, and he was forcibly recalled using wealth. Even though the fifth time, he was killed by Fighting God’s trace of consciousness and not by anyone else, the duration of his survival was still too short. It felt as if the entire world had turned against him after he traveled to the future, with all kinds of events trying to kill him.
Only by the sixth time did he manage to survive for a bit longer. Well… he felt it wasn’t that his luck had improved, but that during the time he helped Wealth Shadow gain a promotion, he had paid to bribe the river of time. After that, he continuously dealt with the river of time, which gradually lengthened his survival time in the sub-timelines.
One could not rule out the possibility that the river of time deliberately targeted him, considering he had disrupted the order of time and space. But the river of time is in the business of making profits; after all, why would it chase away a customer? So another possibility is that his luck was very poor, but by paying to smooth things over with the river of time, it granted him some protective luck.
After all, the blessings deep within the river of time could not be limited to just simple isolation effects. It was likely that enhancing his luck to extend his exploration time in the sub-timelines was the true meaning behind those blessings. Thinking from another perspective, if he were the river of time and waited so many years for business to open, only for the client to cool off within days? What kind of business could that be?
