Chapter 1172 The Second in All Ages (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"system……"

Su Ping silently recited the command, and upon receiving a response from the system, immediately retrieved the Eternal Human Race Ranking.

After opening up the Dao Source Realm, Su Ping jumped from 182nd to 11th among humans, and now... second place!

After opening up the fourth level of the minor immortal realm, and now forging a divine body, Su Ping's ranking has jumped to second place on the Eternal Human Race Ranking!

"With my current combat strength, I'm only ranked second..." Su Ping was somewhat surprised. He thought he would be first, but there was someone ahead of him. Indeed, the ancients should not be underestimated.

Su Ping suddenly remembered that he had heard others say that his name and information had been captured by the Chaos Prodigy Ranking and recorded as second on the list.

Who is number one?

Su Ping was somewhat curious.

"By the way, the system mentioned before that there were other hosts before me..."

Su Ping raised an eyebrow, feeling a strange sensation, like jealousy. He immediately asked the system in his mind.

"That's right. The one before you was also a host bound to this system. Apart from him, strictly speaking, your achievements are already unparalleled throughout history. Once you can open up the fifth realm, you can break his myth," the system said.

"The Fifth Realm..."

Su Ping muttered to himself.

That peerless human, was he a super prodigy who opened up the five realms...?

Moreover, this Five Realms is not the same as the Five Realms of the Wild Emperor's clone.

Su Ping silently withdrew, and then retrieved the ranking list of all races. When he was ranked 182nd before, he could not be found on this ranking list at all; he was ranked outside the top 500.

But now, as Su Ping continued downwards, he soon saw his own figure.

19!

"Humans are second, and all other races are nineteenth!"

Su Ping's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. With his current combat power, he was enough to shock the entire Primordial God Realm. However, among all the myriad races of life since the beginning of time, he could only rank 19th. Those ranked ahead of him were mostly terrifying figures who had become famous in their respective regions, and there were even invincible powerhouses at the Ancestral God level.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long. There are still 18 people ahead of us. Even if we achieve a level of unparalleled success throughout eternity, it seems we still cannot control our own destiny. At least, the myriad races of the heavens are not yet unified..."

Su Ping could sense that many arduous journeys lay ahead of him.

The slight pride and complacency in his heart were instantly erased, and his heart returned to peace.

"If we were to compete for Ye Laomo's relics again, even without the ultimate treasure, I should be able to easily sweep aside all the monsters from all sides. Our universe... is still too weak."

Su Ping's eyes flickered, and he sighed inwardly.

Compared to these places in the Primordial God Realm, the outside universe is still too weak.

"Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, Young Master!"

At this moment, several Venerable Ones beside the Divine Cauldron came to Su Ping's side, marveling at his body as if it were a rare treasure. Su Ping glanced at it and saw that there was a stunningly beautiful woman inside, who had obviously lived for countless millennia, old enough to be his great-great-grandmother's ancestor.

At this moment, she was also staring at his body, looking him over from head to toe, her eyes shining with amazement.

Su Ping's lips twitched slightly. After much deliberation, he decided to take out a piece of clothing to cover himself...

Do not look at what is improper.

Su Ping changed into what they considered strange clothes, stretched his limbs, and inquired about the time, only to learn that over a hundred days had passed. Thinking of the matter of divine power, he immediately asked a venerable elder, "Senior, do you know where the source of divine power lies?"

"The source of divine power?"

The venerable one was taken aback, as if he had thought of something, and immediately shook his head, saying, "This old man does not know."

Su Ping looked at the other person.

"This old man does not know, young master, please do not ask me."

"I do not know."

"Old man..."

After looking around, Su Ping turned his gaze away from everyone. Some looked at his toes, admiring his boots, while others looked at the ceiling, seemingly thinking that the ceiling of this temple was hung very well.

Su Ping was somewhat helpless. It seemed that the Emperor of Cinnamon had given them instructions, so he shouldn't be blamed for trying to find another way to sneak away.

"Why do you call me Young Master?" Su Ping asked.

A middle-aged venerable elder, gentle and refined, smiled and said, "During the time when the Young Venerable Master was in seclusion, your deeds have spread throughout the entire God Realm. Now, my entire clan knows of you. After discussions among the Five Emperors, you have been appointed as the Young Venerable Master, with a status equal to ours, second only to the Human Emperor!"

"Within this clan, you have the power to exercise all rights except those reserved for royalty."

Su Ping grunted in surprise, not expecting to receive such good treatment. He sighed inwardly and said, "I'm not some young master. Just call me young marshal from now on. If that's not possible, you can call me young marshal master."

The group was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then we shall call you Young Marshal, Your Excellency."

Su Ping smiled and said, "I'd like to go for a walk now, is that alright?"

"Going...is it too far?" A Venerable One seemed to have noticed something and hesitated, saying, "Young Marshal, although you are exceptionally talented, a rare talent throughout the ages, your strength is still too weak. It would be best if you didn't leave our Flame City. In the hundred days you've been in seclusion, there have been 23 assassination attempts, and thousands of God-level experts have infiltrated your territory. Moreover, 16 high-ranking members of our clan have been identified as wanting to assassinate you..."

He looked at Su Ping and said earnestly, "Once you leave the Palace of Fire, we can hardly guarantee your safety. For the future of our human race, we hope you can be patient."

Su Ping was taken aback; the smile on his face vanished, and his expression turned somewhat grave.

He knew what these assassination numbers meant; the human race must have paid a heavy price to uncover and stop so many assassins.

"Don't worry, I won't die," Su Ping whispered.

A Venerable One hurriedly said, "Young Marshal, the Lin Clan does not want to see you grow. Once you leave the protection of the Firewood Palace, they can even curse you to death from afar. It is too dangerous for you to go out before you become a Venerable One."

Su Ping shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't go out. I'll just wander around the palace."

Seeing that Su Ping agreed, the Venerables breathed a sigh of relief. They also knew that for a Celestial God Realm cultivator, being confined to this place to cultivate until reaching the Venerable Realm before gaining freedom was a cruel thing.

After all, becoming a Venerable is something that most top geniuses can only dream of; besides talent, it also requires a bit of luck.

If Su Ping's talent hadn't been so extraordinary, they wouldn't have dared to have such expectations.

The Palace of Firewood is enormous; though called a palace, it's no different from half a small town. The garden behind the palace alone stretches as far as the eye can see, like a vast plain. Perhaps only such a sight could be worthy of an emperor's visit.

There were no cultivation arrays in the garden, and cultivation was prohibited here. At this moment, only some maids in the flowerbeds were moving around, selecting and picking flowers.

Inside, you can also see small animals that sow pollen, flitting among the flowers, playful and adorable.

The maids and the little beasts also saw Su Ping, this handsome young man, and couldn't help but stop and stare. Su Ping's physical body was becoming more and more robust and strong, and his appearance was also rising rapidly. He truly had the aura of someone who had his own halo.

Outside the garden, the barrier of the Fire Palace shrouds the area, preventing outside forces from penetrating.

Su Ping wandered around the garden for a while, then flipped and jumped onto the roof of the palace. Many maids were shocked. This was too reckless. This was the Firewood Palace, the residence of the Emperor. Even other Venerable Ones would not dare to set foot on the rooftops and eaves here.

Seeing this, the Venerable Ones who were secretly protecting Su Ping were helpless, but they didn't say anything. Su Ping's status was second only to the Human Emperor, and he was just a young man, so they let him be.

"This is human territory, quite prosperous indeed..."

Standing atop the palace, Su Ping gazed into the distance and could see most of the city. The streets were clean and tidy, and the city was incredibly prosperous. The people there lived in luxury and were dressed in fine clothes. To be able to live under the feet of the Human Emperor, these people must be considered among the wealthiest and most prestigious families in the human race.

On the east side of the Firewood Palace, there is a martial arts arena where many young people are practicing and competing.

Inside, there are also battle forms activated during battles, transforming into roaring dragons that look incredibly imposing.

"If it weren't for the Lin Clan, this scene would seem like a golden age..." Su Ping murmured to himself, a sudden pang of guilt rising in his heart. If it weren't for him, the humans here wouldn't have been involved. Although the status of humans wasn't high elsewhere, many humans who had wandered to other continents had been reduced to slaves.

But at least there is still one peaceful and tranquil place!

Now, this peaceful land of humanity is also facing a precarious crisis.

If the Dragon God Clan cannot withstand the pressure from the Lin Clan, the human race will be in grave danger.

"We're walking too slowly..."

Su Ping muttered to himself.

Although his combat power now far exceeds that of the Starry Sky Realm and also far exceeds that of the Star Lord Realm, he is still very weak.

"What's moving too slowly?"

Suddenly, a light, delicate voice rang out.

Su Ping turned his head and saw a fiery red figure leaping in front of him like an elf. It was a little girl dressed in crimson clothes, who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. She had large, bright eyes and skin as smooth as cream, like a lively fire elf.

"You're sitting down, aren't you?" the little girl said, pointing at Su Ping.

Su Ping was taken aback, then said irritably, "Where did this little brat come from? Aren't you afraid of falling and dying?"

"Who said I'm a little kid? I'm almost an adult, I'm already 12 this year!" the little girl said angrily, clearly extremely unhappy that Su Ping looked down on her.

"You think 12 years old is the age to be an adult right away? You still have at least six more years to go. Have you had enough of compulsory education?" Su Ping said lazily, gazing ahead.

"What? Six more years? I'll be an adult in another year! Here, we have a coming-of-age ceremony at 13! Humph!" the little girl said angrily, turning her head away after speaking.

Su Ping was taken aback and fell silent for a moment.

Being considered an adult at 13 is something that only happened during wartime when people were suffering greatly.

The age line of adulthood is enough to reflect the hardships of an era.

"So, does that mean those 13-year-old kids are going to pick up weapons and become soldiers?" Su Ping said softly.

The little girl raised her chin and said, "What do you mean, 'little one'? Don't talk like you're so old-fashioned. You don't look much older than me. Besides, once you're an adult, being able to join the army and fight is the highest honor!"

"To die fighting for the boundless ambition of our human race—even in death, we are heroic souls!"

Hearing the little girl's words, Su Ping couldn't help but glance at her and said, "Of all those words, there's one that I find agreeable."

Which sentence?

Su Ping smiled but didn't say anything, only saying, "One day, we will be able to step out of here and be free from the constraints of territory. It won't be long."

The little girl nodded and said, "That's right, I'll be able to do it when I become an ancestral god one day."

Su Ping raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and said, "Ancestor God, you?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm the top genius in our clan. Don't think you can look down on me just because they've praised me so highly!" the little girl said angrily.

Su Ping then realized that the little girl's aura was actually a realm higher than his own, and extremely restrained. She was not just a simple Star Lord, but probably a top-tier Star Lord if she were outside.

For a 12-year-old to reach this level, it must be that he started training in the womb.

"Then good luck, I believe in you."

Su Ping chuckled.

The little girl was somewhat surprised, not expecting this despicable fellow to suddenly praise her. Her arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by an innocent childlike wonder. She looked at Su Ping with curious eyes and asked, "I heard you slew the Emperor's avatar with your sword and fought your way out from among the high-ranking gods. Is that true? How did you do it?"

Su Ping wasn't surprised that the girl knew his identity; after all, the little girl must be of very high status to be able to approach him so easily.

"Really? But I didn't fight my way out on my own. It was the strong members of the clan who protected me and helped me fight my way out. Some people sacrificed themselves," Su Ping said in a low voice.

"I know that it was Uncle Feng, Sister Yun, Uncle Li who sacrificed themselves..." The little girl's mood immediately dropped, and her eyes glistened when she mentioned Sister Yun.

Su Ping paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps when I become an Ancestral God, I can resurrect them."

The little girl was stunned, her eyes widening as she looked at Su Ping, leaning close to his face as if trying to see through his heart: "Really? Can it really be done?"

"Um."

Su Ping nodded.

The little girl clenched her fists and said, "Then I must become an ancestral god."

If someone else had said this, they would have been laughed at, but since it came from a child, no one would have cared. Su Ping just smiled and didn't say anything; at least the belief was good.

"Which tribe are you from? I've never heard of you before," the little girl asked Su Ping curiously.

Su Ping coughed lightly and said, "I come from the starry sky."

"Starry Sky? I don't think I've ever heard of this tribe..." the little girl asked, puzzled.

Several Venerable Ones in the shadows all sharpened their gazes. As soon as the news spread, a certain intelligence unit within the human race sprang into action, investigating the "Starry Sky" tribe that Su Ping had mentioned at full speed.

"It's a small place, nothing special." Su Ping shook his head slightly.

The little girl sensed that Su Ping seemed reluctant to talk more, so she suppressed her curiosity and rested her chin on her hands, following Su Ping's gaze forward. She asked, "Is the scenery outside prettier, or is it prettier here? My father said that it's very dangerous outside, that everything is scary and dilapidated..."

"You've never been outside?"

"without."

"Oh... outside, it's all rocky mountains, barren, and a bunch of idiots would fight and fight over rocks on the mountain. It's pretty boring," Su Ping said.
