Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1252 Destiny (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"They're nothing but remnants of the old era. What right do they have to challenge me?"

The deity looked down with disdain and sneered, "A foolish method of reincarnation, unable even to protect your own treasures. Do you really think you can unify the universe? You're nothing but a pawn. Do you even understand our world?"

Hearing that his sore spot had been touched, Ye Chen was somewhat annoyed, but he restrained his anger. The God's words made him somewhat suspicious. He could tell that the God was not threatening or trying to sow discord, but rather showing utter contempt.

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen frowned, thinking that the other party might say a few words before dying, and perhaps he could get some information out of him. After all, in terms of confidants... he used to have Di Jing to rely on, although he was always on guard against Di Jing's rebellion. But now, he didn't even have a confidant like Di Jing.

He collaborated with other supreme beings to form the Heavenly Demon Alliance, all for the sake of accomplishing his grand ambition.

Once the other supreme beings are wiped out, a final battle will inevitably follow. Therefore, they cannot be considered close friends, but merely partners driven by self-interest.

Are you scared?

Seeing Ye Chen's reaction, the God-Emperor seemed to glimpse into the depths of his soul, and sneered, "Fear is useless. You survived before, but this time you will surely be annihilated. Do you really think there's no one in our universe who would dare to act so arrogantly!"

"Your Majesty, you talk too much."

The old man, the Holy King, spoke in a deep voice. As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, and silver light condensed into a cross, tearing through the void and suddenly flying towards the God.

"You don't need to interrupt me. I won't tell him. I'll make sure he dies with his eyes wide open!" The God snorted coldly, suddenly drew his sword, and severed the silver cross-shaped light.

"kill!"

The Supreme Being of Doom also acted swiftly, but instead targeted Su Ping.

The deity's face turned cold. "To launch a sneak attack on a junior, you dare call yourself a deity?!"

"Why bother with seniority when you're killing someone? Foolish!" the Supreme One of Doom retorted, several Daoist runes emerging and strangling towards Su Ping like hooks and chains.

Feeling the biting sharpness, Su Ping woke up as if from a dream.

During his brief moment of distraction, his consciousness was rekindling a sliver of inspiration for achieving godhood that he had previously captured. Fortunately, he managed to retrieve that spark of inspiration. Combined with the cosmic barrier torn apart by his master, he vaguely found the key to his own godhood. Unfortunately, before he could gain a deeper understanding, he was interrupted.

"Damn it, if I could become a god, maybe I could still put up a fight!" Su Ping was furious, but he did not lose his mind. At this point, fighting the other party in anger would only result in a tragic death. He had to find a way to win, and the only way was to become a god.

Although he didn't know what level he would reach after being conferred the title of god, Su Ping felt that at least he wouldn't hold his master back.

"Comprehending new rules is useless; the ordinary path to godhood is blocked. Even if I comprehend all the Dao inscriptions, I still cannot step into the realm of godhood. This is my death trap..."

"The Eightfold Minor World has actually raised the difficulty of the Investiture of the Gods to this level. How did the previous Ancestral Gods all achieve this?"

"System, could you give me a hint, just a little? Just tell me how much energy I need later, and can I pay on credit?"

Watching the God-Emperor block the attack of the Supreme Being of the End, Su Ping's mind raced, searching for an opportunity to break through.

"All answers are predetermined. You have comprehended time and space, so you should know cause and effect. Perhaps the answer was already in your hands from the very beginning." The system's voice was extremely calm, seemingly unaware that Su Ping was in a desperate situation, and slowly said, "These are all tribulations in your destiny. You should avoid them, overcome them, and endure them; it is all your own fate!"

Su Ping's face turned ugly, knowing that the system had no intention of helping him.

But he didn't blame the system for being heartless. Perhaps, in the system's eyes, he wasn't a qualified host.

With the system's incredible power, even if it dies, it can find another host and support another powerful figure in the blink of an eye.

"Don't be pessimistic, don't be angry, don't complain, don't be anxious..." Su Ping didn't let any other thoughts ferment in his mind. He quickly stopped all distractions. He knew that the only way to survive at this moment was to concentrate all his attention on how to break through!

Having spent decades cultivating the world, Su Ping has experienced life and death, but thanks to the system's resurrection, he rarely experiences true desperate situations anymore.

But now, he felt a long-lost sense of approaching death.

The life-and-death experience he had cultivated over a long period of time came into play at this moment. His mind was in a state of absolute rationality, and he began to think from the system's words.

The system isn't really standing idly by; otherwise, it could simply remain silent as usual.

"The answer was predetermined..."

"Yes, with the system's capabilities, it can definitely glimpse the entire river of time, hundreds of thousands of years, or even an entire era. In the system's eyes, it has already seen the end. The so-called future that has not happened, in the system's eyes, the ending has already been seen, so..."

"Does the answer lie in the initial cause and effect?"

As Su Ping's thoughts raced, several murderous intents suddenly attacked.

Su Ping awoke again and saw his master fighting with the Doomsday Supreme and the Holy King. Although the Holy King and the Doomsday Supreme's attacks were extremely fierce, the Divine Lord seemed to have unleashed his final life force, his combat power was so strong and terrifying that he blocked all their attacks.

"Master, give me some time," Su Ping said hurriedly.

"good!"

The god-king, caught in the midst of the fierce battle, responded. Although he didn't know what Su Ping was going to do, the battle had already progressed to this point, and he would never let his disciple fall before his eyes. If anyone was to fall, it would be him, the master, who would fall first. There was no hope of escaping, so he might as well fight him to the fullest and enjoy himself to the fullest!

Su Ping immediately closed his eyes, his brain racing as if it were on fire.

"Time, space, void, world, deification..."

"The answer was predetermined..."

"Cosmic barrier..."

"Small universe..."

Countless pieces of information intertwined in Su Ping's mind, including the wisp of inspiration for the Investiture of the Gods that he had captured earlier. Combined with the system's words, Su Ping felt as if he was just one membrane away from seeing the path to the Investiture of the Gods.

"Creating your own rules won't lead to godhood. The difference between godhood and the Star Lord realm lies not only in the creation of rules, but also in the difference between the godhood worlds themselves..."

"Only by undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation and gaining the approval of Heaven can one be made a god, and only then can the world be transformed..."

"Yes, the main purpose of the Investiture of the Gods was to transform the world..."

"Then why bother about whether or not one receives divine approval?"

Su Ping suddenly realized, as if struck by a thunderbolt, that his previous thoughts had led him into a dead end. This was also because the path to godhood he knew was based on self-created rules and tribulations.

Why undergo tribulation?

What brings about this calamity?

If the world had not been nurtured, Su Ping might never have realized this in his entire life. But within the Golden Crow clan and in the Primordial God Realm, he learned of the existence of "Heaven".

This is a realm of existence, and also a living entity!

If he doesn't acknowledge himself and doesn't bring down calamities, will he not be deified?

Bullshit!

"The answer the system gave us was actually the Chaotic Star Power Chart..."

At this moment, Su Ping finally understood that the answer had always been in his hands. It was laughable that he had been searching for it for decades in the cultivation world without noticing it.

"Since you won't let me be deified, then I'll deify myself! I'll proclaim myself a god!"

Su Ping suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with intense light.

But the next moment, he saw a burly figure, as imposing as the sun, flying backward, his armor tattered and blood splattering across the void. It was his master!

"Master!"

Su Ping's eyes widened.

"Hmph, you're at your last gasp. I said I'd use your spine as a backrest, and I mean it!" Ye Chen's figure flew over, ignoring the heavily injured God Venerable, and directly attacked Su Ping.

His killing intent toward Su Ping stemmed not only from the initial loss of treasures like the Imperial Scripture by Su Ping, but more importantly, from his fear of Su Ping's potential and the mysterious Demon Shop.

kill!

Ye Chen raised his hand and covered down, the surrounding power transforming into a giant hand that grasped at Su Ping.

"roll!"

Su Ping roared, his fighting spirit erupting. His Primal Chaos Body was fully activated at this moment, and dense chaotic power was released with his attack. A sword light illuminated the entire void, shattering Ye Chen's palm. The remaining sword power still slashed towards Ye Chen.

"Damn it!"

Ye Chen's expression changed, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified. He hadn't expected that Su Ping, in the Ninth Deep Space, would not only survive but also unleash such terrifying power under such a repressive environment. This power was enough to sweep away all those at the God-Sealing Realm, while Su Ping was only a Star Lord Realm cultivator.

The Holy King and the Supreme Being of the End of the World were both astonished by Su Ping's performance. Not to mention the Star Lord Realm, even if Su Ping were a God-Sealing Realm cultivator, the power he was unleashing at this moment exceeded their understanding of the God-Sealing Realm. Throughout history, there had never been such a monstrous God-Sealing Realm cultivator, let alone a Star Lord Realm cultivator.

"This little monster really can't be allowed to live..." A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Being of Doomsday as he charged toward the God Venerable, leaving Su Ping to be dealt with by Ye Chen, who had the strongest killing intent toward him.

A supreme being could easily deal with a Star Lord, no matter how monstrous the monster.

After all, it spans two irreversible realms.

"Demon-Sealing Battle Body!"

Ye Chen attacked again, his body surging with demonic energy. The use of the Divine Word Immortal Domain had greatly depleted his energy, so he had no choice but to unleash his battle form to quickly eliminate Su Ping.

As his battle form was released, his power surged, and he stepped through the void, charging straight towards Su Ping.

Su Ping's eyes turned red, and he was furious. Although he had comprehended the path to godhood, he had no time to put it into practice. Once he prepared to become a god on the spot, the other party would have enough time to kill him a thousand times over in the process!

Must we just die with this regret?

The greatest pain in life is being trapped in a desperate situation, but even more painful is seeing hope for escape but being unable to act on it, leaving one only with regret.

Throughout history, countless people have experienced similar monstrous events.

"The Demon-Suppressing Divine Skill!"

Ye Chen's face was cold, his black hair flying wildly. He unleashed a circular attack with his palm, and Su Ping immediately felt the Dao patterns around him being pulled, as if he were about to break free of control.

With a loud bang, Ye Chen threw a punch, and Su Ping returned the punch in kind. Su Ping was thrown back hundreds of meters by the impact, while Ye Chen's body also swayed and flew backward seven or eight meters, his face showing surprise.

"You deserve to die!"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes as he attacked with even greater speed.

"If we were at the same level, you wouldn't stand a chance against my punch!" Su Ping roared and attacked with all his might. His blood essence was burning, and he was no longer able to ascend to godhood. He knew that this was the last battle of his life.

He had endured countless tribulations and battles in the process of nurturing the world, but he never expected that the final battle would end in the Ninth Deep Space in this way.

"But reality doesn't offer 'what ifs'."

Ye Chen's face was cold. He knew Su Ping was right, but that's life. He didn't feel embarrassed. After all, Su Ping had the mysterious Demon Shop behind him, while he only had a fragmented Imperial Scripture. Everyone's opportunities are different. He was very satisfied with his life and felt that he had already done very well to reach this level.

Bang!

A sword flashed and slashed, but Ye Chen shattered it with a backhand strike. His fist, covered in black flames, slammed out, but Su Ping quickly deflected it with his palm and struck again with his sword. The two engaged in a fierce battle, and for a moment, neither could gain the upper hand!

"Die! Die! Die!"

Ye Chen grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He was now using his full power, yet he was still unable to suppress Su Ping. Each of Su Ping's terrifying sword strikes was comparable to an attack from a Supreme Realm expert, and Su Ping was able to unleash a continuous barrage of attacks. Ye Chen could see that Su Ping was burning his life force, but even so, it would be impossible for other Heavenly Monarchs to burn their life force to clash with a Supreme Realm expert!

Roar!

On the other side, the Supreme Being of Doom and the Holy King besieged the God, both using all their methods without holding back, completely suppressing the God.

If it weren't for the fear of the god's dying counterattack, this battle would have ended long ago.

"Get out of here!"

The God-Emperor roared. He was covered in blood, looked like a madman, his golden hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely miserable. His armor was cracked all over. Yan Lao, who was merged with him, was burning his life force and was about to burn to the end.

His peak performance is unlikely to be sustained, and there are already signs of decline.

The Last Supreme Being and the Holy King are also waiting for the moment of his decline.

"My disciple!"

The deity suddenly roared.

Su Ping, who was fighting Ye Chen, heard his master's call and his heart trembled. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He owed his master too much, and what was hateful was that he didn't even have the chance to repay him!

"This is your final farewell, Master. Give it your all!"

The deity roared, his body bursting forth with a blazing sun-like light. The surrounding void was torn apart, and a golden ocean swept across, engulfing all those engaged in battle.

The next moment, everyone returned from the Ninth Deep Space to the outside, above the City of Endless Sin.

Without the suppression of the Ninth Deep Space, Su Ping immediately felt his power increase a thousandfold. He looked in the direction of the God Venerable and saw that the other party was surrounded by golden crimson sun and had a gratified smile on his face.

Su Ping's eyes welled up with tears. Was there anything to be proud of in having such a disciple?

"Run away..."

The deity's lips uttered an invisible sound, and Su Ping understood the deity's meaning, but he felt a sense of sorrow in his heart, knowing that he could not escape.
