Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1271 Heaven and Earth, Cloud Sea and Universe

"Aren't there any mid-level gods?" Su Ping asked in confusion.

The white-robed elder shook his head and said, "There were such cases before, but not in this generation. It is extremely difficult for the middle-level gods to produce a Dao Child-level prodigy. First of all, the cultivation resources of the middle-level gods cannot compare with those of the high-level gods. Secondly, the bloodline potential of the middle-level gods cannot compare with that of the high-level gods. The high-level gods have ancestral gods, and all the people under their race will be influenced by the ancestral gods, and their bloodlines are constantly being optimized and refined."

"This is why races with ancestral gods can become high-ranking divine races, because they can stand for eternity unless something happens to their ancestral god..."

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered.

Clearly, discussing the fall of the ancestral gods is a great disrespect to them.

Su Ping remained silent for a moment.

Although he identifies himself as a human, he knows that his bloodline is now that of the Primal Chaos race.

What the other party said was realistic, but it was indeed true.

Bloodline potential and cultivation resources are important factors that limit the development of geniuses of various races.

Without resources, even the most extraordinary talent cannot be displayed.

And the potential of bloodlines... does indeed differ.

Just like even the strongest ant cannot move an elephant.

Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, while others study hard and struggle their whole lives, yet they still can't compare to someone else's house—the starting point of their life!

If the differences between people are so great, how much greater are the differences between races and bloodlines?

Soon, Su Ping flew down alongside the white-robed old man and landed on the square.

Sensing the hostility directed at him, Su Ping remained calm and ignored them. Instead, he looked towards the front of the plaza, where several figures emerged from the vortex, including the elder in green robes he had previously met at the Toad Fish Palace.

"Is he the candidate you recommended?"

Standing in the middle was a graceful, aloof, and stunningly beautiful young woman, wearing silver earrings, her long black hair flowing in the breeze, exuding an air of coldness that kept people at a distance.

To her left was a short child with a huge head, who looked cute and mischievous. At this moment, his voice was extremely childish: "He does look extraordinary. My divine shield ring has reacted."

The young man in the blue robe smiled and said, "I have high hopes for him. He was able to escape from the Lin Clan's ancient pursuit order. Besides the protection of the human race, his own luck cannot be ignored. Luck is also a kind of ability."

"I've heard about it before, and it's indeed very good."

Another elderly man, who looked quite frail, stroked his beard and nodded.

"Then let them prepare. They have to get past the candidates first," another voluptuous and alluring young woman said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing their words, all eight candidates frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that the five elders, who had only met Su Ping for the first time, would think so highly of him.

Could it be that this human race is truly extraordinary?

The eight people exchanged glances, and soon their gazes fell on a young man in a golden robe who exuded an air of grandeur.

When the young man saw everyone looking at him, he snorted coldly and did not refuse. Although everyone was displeased with Su Ping before, the elders' attitude made them all cautious. Since no one was willing to step forward to test it, he was the only one who could do it.

Who told him to have a grudge against this human!

"Then let me be the first to meet you, kid. I heard you killed my clan's divine son before. Hmph, although it was within the rules of the academy, you acted too rashly. Always leave some room for maneuver, so you'll have some face in the future. Today is the Daoist selection, so I won't be polite with you. I'll give you some time to prepare!"

The golden-armored youth spoke to Su Ping with a cold and arrogant gaze.

Su Ping was taken aback. He looked at the armor, and when he saw the familiar clan emblem on it, he suddenly realized, somewhat surprised and astonished, "You're also from the Lin clan? The Lin clan's divine son has been killed, who are you? How did you manage to get among the candidates..."

"What are you saying?" The golden-armored youth was somewhat annoyed, his gaze icy. He said, "I am the 182nd generation Divine Son of the Lin Clan. The Mo Feng you killed was the 184th generation Divine Son, but he is not comparable to me. This is not a place for you to run wild. Watch your words and actions!"

"The 182nd generation of divine children?"

Su Ping was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Does your Lin clan change its divine son so frequently?"

"you!"

The golden-armored youth flew into a rage.

"Hehe, regardless of whether you have personal grudges or not, you must abide by the rules of the courtyard. Since this is a challenge between candidates, we can discuss anything during the challenge. Now, enter my Qiankun Cloud Sea!"

The short, big-headed child said with a grin.

After saying that, he waved his hand, and his whole body exuded an extremely terrifying aura. The overwhelming pressure of an emperor swept over everyone, and a very deep vortex appeared above everyone's heads, from which came waves of unfathomable and powerful aura.

Seeing this, the other seven people didn't say anything more. They glanced at Su Ping and then turned to step inside.

The golden-armored youth had a gloomy look in his eyes. He glared at Su Ping and then turned and stepped into the vortex.

Seeing this, Su Ping followed closely behind.

"Let's go and see how this guy performs. He doesn't seem to be a pure human. His aura is very ancient and strange, even purer than my bloodline." An old man chuckled, his eyes filled with anticipation. His previous observations had made him extremely curious about Su Ping.

The others also flew into the vortex one after another.

On the other side of the vortex lay a vast universe.

This universe is called Qiankun Cloud Sea, and it is the universe of a child with an enormous head.

As the group appeared in the starry sky, they saw clouds and mist swirling around the universe. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that these clouds and mist were composed of countless tiny stars.

"this……"

Su Ping was somewhat shocked by the sight; this universe was so similar to the primordial universe outside.

It's even like the prototype of the primordial universe!

Clouds and fog resemble star rings outside galaxies, or vast oceans. However, the surrounding space appears too dense, and the orbits and pulling force fields of these tiny stars that make up the clouds and fog are quite different from those in galaxies.

Su Ping closed his eyes and carefully felt it, only to find that although they looked somewhat similar, they were actually two different things. If he had to describe it, it would be too long and have too many unnecessary parts.

"Although these clouds contain powerful cohesive forces, they cannot form a closed loop and operate for a long time. They need an external force to drive them, unlike galaxies in the universe, which are centered on a star and surrounded by a cluster of stars, with orderly rules, complementing each other and relying on each other's strength..." Su Ping opened his eyes, his eyes flickering slightly.

However, aside from some drawbacks, he felt that the other party's universe was somewhat different from his own chaotic universe.

This different feeling is very strange.

Just like the universe before our eyes, it is flexible and full of life.

But his chaotic universe was lifeless.

This was his first time entering the God Emperor's universe, which gave him such a profound understanding.

"My chaotic universe can also give birth to life and contain countless beings. I always thought it was no different from the primordial universe outside, just on a smaller scale. But now it seems there are still many differences. It is still very different from the real universe. There are some special features in the real universe that I did not notice, which is why I felt there was no difference..."

Su Ping had some insights.

"What are you staring at!"

Just then, a cold shout rang out.

Su Ping snapped out of his daze and reprimanded the golden-armored youth. At that moment, in the starry sky in front of them, the clouds dispersed, revealing a vast battlefield composed of pure white matter, resembling a plaza.

Clearly, this is the battleground for the candidates.

To Su Ping's surprise, outside the battlefield was a cloud-like audience area, which was now filled with students dressed in the uniforms of the Heavenly Dao Academy, as well as some instructors.

They sat in cloud chairs beside each other, discussing the matter with great interest.

"Could it be that he suddenly got scared?"

"Hmph, humans are humans after all. They haven't seen much of the world. How can they not be nervous seeing so many gods paying attention?" Among the other candidates, one looked at them with disdain.

Although the elders had previously favored Su Ping, they had more faith in their own judgment.

"He actually wants to challenge the Daoist Prince..."

In the crowd, a stunningly beautiful young woman, dressed conservatively with only her wrists and collarbone showing, was gazing intently at Su Ping.

If she remembered correctly, the young man in front of her was the one who left the temple earlier when she was expounding the Dharma and answering questions for her master.

Although she hadn't thought much of it, the time was too short, and with the challenge against Daozi right in front of her, it suddenly came back to her mind.

In retrospect, the other person probably left not because they didn't understand her thinking, but because... they were too lazy to listen?

Thinking of this, Tan Xiangyun felt a little annoyed.

"Please enter, both of you."

The voluptuous and mature elder smiled and said, "After all, this is the Dao Child selection, a major event within the academy. The news has already been spread, and all disciples in the academy are welcome to come and observe. I hope you can deliver a spectacular battle so that others can learn a lot from it."

The golden-armored youth nodded slightly, gave Su Ping another cold snort, and turned to fly into the battlefield.

"Okay." Su Ping nodded and stepped into the battlefield as well.

As the two entered, many students from the Heavenly Dao Academy in the audience outside the battlefield became quite excited.

The mentors maintained a smile, appearing quite calm, but were actually quite excited inside.

Although they are mentors, these candidates are capable of serving as mentors within the academy. In terms of combat strength, none of them can compare. The mentors of these candidates are basically elders within the academy. Although seeking guidance from elders is a privilege reserved for Dao children, the candidates can still gain the favor of one or two elders and receive their guidance and instruction.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Michiko's election campaign. This is my first time watching. May I shout 'Go Michiko!'?"

"I can't believe this kind of thing happened to our year. Is there any knowledgeable senior who can tell me who these two are?"

"You don't even recognize him? The one on the right is the former divine son of the Lin Clan. He joined our Heavenly Dao Academy in his early years and soon rose to the top of the Chaos Prodigy Ranking. You may not have seen him, but you must have heard of Zhan Wushuang, right?"

"Senior Zhan Wushuang? He's the same Zhan Wushuang who killed the Seven Gods with a single spear thrust?!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this person's words, the others also realized that although many people had never seen Zhan Wushuang's appearance, his feat of slaying seven gods with one spear was extremely famous and was Zhan Wushuang's most talked-about achievement. When he first obtained the Divine Seal, he killed seven well-known evil gods with one spear, which was truly unparalleled!

"And the other one? Senior Zhan Wushuang has long been a candidate for Dao Child, so the other one must be the challenger, right?"

"This other one has a bit of a connection with Senior Zhan Wushuang. You've all heard about the Ancient Pursuit Order from a while back, right? The Lin Clan's emperor personally issued it, and the target of the hunt was one of our seniors, right? The one right in front of you, Senior Su Ping from the human race!"

"It's him?!"

Everyone trembled. The Primordial Pursuit Order, personally issued by the God Emperor, was a warrant for capture throughout the entire God Realm. Once hunted down, death was almost certain, unless protected by a powerful figure. They had all heard about the feud between their senior and the Lin Clan, but they never expected that this senior was Su Ping in front of them.

Gossip spreads quickly. Although everyone had never seen Su Ping's face, they had all heard of the things he had done and felt a sense of sudden realization and familiarity.

Turns out they were both ruthless individuals!

"So, this battle might be a protracted one!"

"A protracted war? You're overthinking it. Senior Zhan Wushuang has been famous for many years. I heard that this human senior Su Ping was only able to escape because the human race had to ask other high-ranking god emperors to help him. Moreover, the elders of the academy also intervened. Otherwise, do you think he could have escaped the Primordial Pursuit Order on his own?"

"I've heard about it too. Indeed, let alone him, even a God-King wouldn't last more than a few days under the Primordial Pursuit Order."

The others were all talking amongst themselves. In terms of combat strength, they were not very optimistic about Su Ping. Although Su Ping had killed the Lin Clan's Divine Son, that was just someone who had just obtained the status of Divine Son and had not been directly admitted by the Heavenly Dao Academy. It was not surprising that such a guy was killed.

"Hmph, let me see your arrogance, human!"

Tan Xiangyun stood in mid-air above the audience, her eyes narrowed, listening to the discussions below. She also didn't think highly of Su Ping, and even felt a little regretful, thinking that she might not have the chance to personally teach this guy a lesson and vent her anger!

"Ready? Let's begin."

The child with the enormous head said with a grin.

The childish voice echoed through the universe, but none of those present dared to underestimate it.

"that……"

Su Ping couldn't help but raise his hand.

"What is it?" The child with the huge head asked in surprise, his bright eyes looking at Su Ping with some astonishment.

Everyone else was taken aback, and someone said, "Is he planning to forfeit at the last minute?"

"Aren't there any rules to announce?" Su Ping couldn't help but ask. He hadn't expected the opening remarks to be so simple, which was far too lacking compared to the old teachers in his school days.

"rule?"

The child with the enormous head was stunned, then couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "The rules are simple: defeat your opponent. Of course, defeating one isn't enough. You must defeat all eight candidates present today to be qualified to challenge the Dao Child."

"Any means are acceptable? What if we accidentally kill him?" Su Ping asked.
