Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1285 War Invasion

Su Ping transferred the divine maids from his original temple to Daozi Divine Peak, still using the excuse of seclusion to return to the shop.

After the journey ended, when Su Ping opened his eyes again, he was already in the pet room of the store.

Su Ping took out the customer's battle pet that he had raised along the way, glanced at the fostering slot, and did not see Joanna's figure. Immediately, his senses spread out and he could feel Joanna's aura in the store.

"Has it already broken through...?"

Sensing the change in Joanna's aura, Su Ping smiled slightly. Even in the Primordial God Realm, Joanna was considered a powerful God King, a pillar of strength in various major forces.

After all, even among the high-ranking gods, those at the God Emperor realm are rare.

The reason his identity as a Dao Child has attracted invitations from various forces is mainly because his future chances of becoming a God Emperor are extremely high, making him a worthwhile investment.

If he were a god-emperor who appeared out of nowhere, there would be even more people vying for him, since even the most monstrous geniuses could die young.

Pushing open the door, Su Ping entered the living room. It was the opening day, noon, and the sun was shining brightly, its rays streaming through the windows and door. People were queuing orderly inside the store.

When Su Ping appeared, Joanna and Fairy Bi behind the counter immediately looked over and nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

"How does it feel?"

Su Ping went to the counter and asked Joanna via telepathy.

After registering the pet of the customer in front of her and collecting the fee, Joanna smiled and said, "Overall, it went very smoothly. Now I am the Supreme Realm here. Even if the Supreme Realm here dares to cause trouble, I can handle it for you. However, I heard from them that something big seems to have happened here."

"I'll handle things here," Su Ping said. "It's good that you broke through smoothly. I just returned from the Primordial God Realm and asked an elder in the Heavenly Dao Academy for help. Unfortunately, even with the elder's strength, he couldn't sense the existence of the Demigod Fallen Land. If you want to return to the Primordial Era, there are only two ways."

"Even the elders aren't allowed?" Joanna was taken aback. She had inquired about the Heavenly Dao Academy before and learned that the elders were all powerful experts at the Divine Emperor Realm.

With her current power after the breakthrough, she is not even as strong as an elder's finger.

"What method?"

"Either I will personally send you back after I cultivate to become an Ancestral God, or you will gather all of you together and put you into my universe, and I will transport you there," Su Ping said.

Joanna paused for a moment, lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Then it's decided. I'll do my part in moving them there."

"Aren't you worried they'll refuse?" Su Ping couldn't help but laugh.

"Dare to refuse? I'll beat them until they agree." Joanna's eyes flashed with fighting spirit as she said, "I just broke through and haven't fought them yet. I'm itching for a fight. They used to rely on their higher cultivation level to overpower me, but things are different now. Even though I just broke through, I feel like I can win!"

Su Ping smiled and said, "You seem to have become much more arrogant than before."

"This isn't arrogance, it's confidence!" Joanna raised her head slightly.

"She seems much more lively than before," Su Ping added with a smile.

Joanna rolled her eyes at Su Ping, then looked at him, her eyes narrowing slightly. After a moment of silence, she said, "You seem to have gotten stronger again. Can you beat them now?"

"Relax," Su Ping said with a smile.

Joanna took a deep breath. Although she knew that Su Ping always broke the rules, she was still shocked by Su Ping's cultivation speed. Back then, he was an ant that she could crush with a flick of her wrist, but now, in the blink of an eye, he had caught up with her and even surpassed her!

"Is becoming the inheritor of the Magic Shop really that scary?" Joanna couldn't help but mutter.

Su Ping chuckled, "Haven't you experienced it yourself? Being able to freely travel between different worlds and clash with powerful beings from all realms—how could your speed of becoming stronger be slow?"

"That's true, but even with powerful sparring partners from all sides, your progress is still too exaggerated. After all, those divine children from the divine realm have never lacked powerful sparring partners or cultivation resources since childhood," Joanna couldn't help but say.

Su Ping couldn't refute it, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe they're just a bit stupid."

Joanna was speechless and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Could a divine child who could stand out from countless people be an idiot?

All I can say is that Su Ping is so monstrous that it defies reason!

Joanna's words gave Su Ping a hint. After thinking it over, Su Ping felt that the biggest difference between himself and those ancient divine children was probably his cultivation method.

Although they could find opponents in the myriad worlds and be resurrected time and again to challenge the strong, these were nothing to the Primordial Gods. They could also be resurrected countless times in the universe of the God Emperors within their own clans, challenging one invincible opponent after another, and honing their skills frantically between life and death.

But Su Ping had experienced that when pressured to the extreme between life and death, one reaches a bottleneck, and no amount of stimulation can motivate one to act.

Human potential is limited.

What is potential?

Bloodline, comprehension, opportunity, and so on—these are all potential.

The bloodline of a divine child is self-evident. Comprehension varies from person to person, but those who become divine children are not bad. The influence of opportunity is relatively small, unless it is some heaven-defying treasure.

Su Ping, having gone through countless tribulations, discovered that the rarest treasure he possessed was the cultivation technique bestowed upon him by the system.

"If resources and bloodline are one's own, then cultivation techniques are one's teachers. No matter how smart a student is, he still needs a good teacher to guide him." After learning about the differences in the Divine Emperor Realm from Elder Toad, Su Ping felt the power of the Chaos Star Chart even more.

"The Dao Heart Realm... It's a pity the cultivation method doesn't describe how to cultivate it, only giving a brief overview: the Dao Heart requires comprehending the heavens and earth and clearly seeing oneself, but there are no specific methods..."

Su Ping shook his head. Asking someone for advice on this matter wouldn't work either. The elders couldn't teach him how to comprehend it either, so they could only share their own experiences of advancing to the God Emperor level with him.

Su Ping had heard from Elder Chan about the experiences of other elders who had advanced in their careers. In addition to comprehending enough of the Great Dao, they also needed to find their own Dao.

For example, the universe and the sea of ​​clouds are a way to understand the weather, observe the stars, and use the Great Dao to deduce and simulate.

The cosmic attributes inherent in the Qiankun Cloud Sea are infinite vastness and infinite insignificance.

If the battle were to be fought using the Qiankun Cloud Sea, the opponent could use their own cosmic attributes to condense beings like Su Ping, who are below the Divine Emperor realm and do not possess cosmic attributes, into infinitely tiny grains of sand, and easily destroy them.

This is the world-shaking difference between the God-King Realm and the God-Emperor Realm.

"Once you condense your Dao Heart, your universe will have its own attributes. You can easily annihilate a supreme universe that has no attributes. The difference is even greater than the difference between the God-Sealing Realm and the Star Lord Realm." Su Ping's eyes flickered slightly. He felt that he had not comprehended enough Dao texts yet and had not accumulated enough original knowledge, so he could not transform quantity into quality.

"Perhaps when I have deciphered enough Dao inscriptions, I will be able to comprehend the Dao Heart..."

After learning about Joanna's situation, Su Ping handed the counter to her and instructed her that the store could now accept professionally bred pets. As long as he was in the store, it would remain open. He needed to accumulate energy as soon as possible to upgrade the store to level 9 and unlock all the system's abilities.

Based on his current daily revenue, it won't be long before he accumulates enough to upgrade his shop to level 9. Su Ping estimates that it will take at most one or two hundred years to achieve that.

This amount of time is but a blink of an eye for those who are destined to become gods.

"Have my master and the others come looking for me recently?" Su Ping asked Bi Xianzi telepathically.

"Your master came to see you once before. You were in seclusion at the time, and he was on this street. You can go find him," said Fairy Bi.

Su Ping had already sensed that his master, the Divine Venerable, and the Crimson Fire Supreme were both in the buildings on both sides of the street. In addition to them, there was another Supreme aura, which was the other Supreme who had formed an alliance with him at that time, the Void Supreme.

In the place where the Void Supreme resided, Su Ping also sensed several familiar auras, including Qing Hongyue, whom he had encountered when he was vying for Ye Chen's relics.

"Master, I heard you came looking for me." Su Ping transmitted his voice directly to his master.

The deity, who was sitting in the room with a worried expression, perked up upon hearing Su Ping's voice and quickly said, "You've come out of seclusion? I was just about to come find you."

"Is it about the cosmic rift?" Su Ping asked.

The God nodded and said, "That's right. The exploration robots and exploration teams we sent out earlier were stationed outside the Chaotic Starfield, but now only a few scattered robots are still there, monitoring the situation. It has now turned into a sea of ​​blood in the starry sky. The criminals who were hiding there and didn't have time to escape have all fallen there."

Su Ping's expression changed slightly, his heart sinking as he asked, "Is it something from outside the cosmic rift?"

"That's right, the cosmic rift has been torn open, larger than the previous gap. A continuous stream of deep-space insectoids is invading from within. Among these insectoids, there seems to be something undetectable mixed in—likely an alien race from outside the cosmic rift." The Divine Lord's expression was grave. "The ancient corpse has also been found, but its body has been torn to pieces, leaving only a mangled remains!"

"After our AI restored the remains, we found that this ancient corpse had experienced a terrifying battle before it was shattered. It was destroyed and torn apart by alien races outside the cosmic rift, and some of the remains disappeared. They should have been left outside the cosmic rift."

Su Ping was stunned. This ancient corpse was a powerful figure in the Divine Emperor Realm in life, and its physical body had remained intact for countless years. Yet it had been shattered at this moment.

Clearly, the owner of that giant hand outside the cosmic rift must be a God-Emperor.

If the other party has infiltrated, they could appear anywhere in the universe at this very moment.

With the opponent's power at the God Emperor realm, traversing constellations would be an easy task.

"So what's the situation outside now..." Su Ping said with a heavy heart.

The Divine Lord said, "Currently, the deep-space insectoids that have invaded from the cosmic rift have spread from the Chaotic Starfield to all twelve star sectors of the universe, including those barren and uninhabited star sectors. The wise men of the Primal Star have issued a public appeal to the entire universe, wanting to gather the power of all humanity to fight against the insectoids, but no one has responded."

Su Ping was taken aback. Thinking of the Saint King he had killed in the Chaotic Starfield, his eyes turned cold.

"It's very disappointing that the Primal Star intervened in the Chaotic Starfield. Now, the Supreme Beings of each star sector are shrinking their own sphere of influence, defending themselves, and fighting against the Zerg," the God-Emperor sighed.

If the chaos in the star sector had not occurred, the announcement from the original star would have been able to gather the strength of the 12 star sectors, which would have greatly reduced human casualties.

But now, the original star has lost its deterrent power and credibility, and the so-called interstellar federation is only a name. Now, in this critical moment, the supreme rulers of the 12 star sectors are like various feudal lords, rising up on their own and only caring about the affairs within their own star sectors.

If the size of the deep space Zerg is not large, it will be fine, but if it exceeds the capacity of each sector, it will inevitably bring devastation.

"How are these Zerg doing right now?" Su Ping asked, having already thought of this as well.

The Divine Lord sighed, "We can still handle the current scale, but according to the robots' detection, there is still a continuous influx of Zerg. My suggestion to Crimson Fire is that we try to win over some Supreme beings from other neutral star sectors. Since we can't rely on the Primal Star, we'll have to rely on ourselves."

Su Ping nodded. "That's a good idea. Since it's wartime, we should set aside some prejudices."

The deity smiled wryly and said, "This is a principle even a three-year-old knows, but unfortunately, when it comes to oneself, even a supreme being would lose their mind!"

"If needed, I can also go to the battlefield," Su Ping said.

The Divine Lord said, "That won't do! There are some unfathomable forces mixed in with that insect swarm. They are extremely well hidden. I suspect they have other purposes. If it's just an insect swarm, we can handle it. Don't leave the Demon Shop easily. With your cultivation speed, in a few thousand years, you may open up a new chapter for the human race. Even if the war with the insect race is already devastating by then, you can help us recover."

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, not expecting his master to place such great hopes on him.

At the same time, this statement is enough to show that the situation is extremely pessimistic, and that they have actually made long-term plans for war to last for thousands of years.

After a moment of silence, Su Ping said, "Master, you can let those God-Conquering cultivators in our star sector come to my shop to breed pets. I can help them strengthen their battle pets, which can be considered as making a small contribution."

"I've heard about your skill in breeding battle pets before, but these guys all treat their own battle pets like treasures. They know you have a monstrous talent, but not many people believe you also have the skills to breed battle pets. I'll talk to them again later and find some people for you," the God said.

Su Ping nodded.

"No matter what happens, you must remember not to leave the protection of the Demon Shop. You are our last hope," the God suddenly said seriously.

Su Ping took a deep breath and said, "I will improve myself as soon as possible."

He felt the urgency of time more and more, and immediately asked about some other things. After understanding the situation outside, he did not exchange any more pleasantries with his master.

Upon arriving at the counter, Su Ping was about to have Joanna count the professionally bred battle pets and hand them over to him, as he was going to go and cultivate more worlds.

Just then, a commotion broke out among the crowd outside the store.
