Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1367 Strange Illness

With a hum, the white-robed elder shuddered, a brief moment of clarity appearing in his madness. He paused, looked up at Su Ping who had descended before him like a god, and instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

"The Primordial God!"

Another streak of crimson light flashed past, and the figure of Crimson Shadow Supreme appeared beside Su Ping. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked down at the former strongest person in the universe.

Once upon a time, they held this primordial God in awe, both for his power and for his contributions to the Federation of Humanity, including establishing a vast federation, uniting the human races of the universe, and liberating the humans of some barbaric planets from enslavement by other races and from becoming food for monsters.

But now, with disaster looming, this once highly respected and powerful figure has fled first, leaving them utterly disappointed.

"You... Akakage?!"

The Primordial Celestial Lord immediately recognized the Crimson Shadow Supreme's appearance and was stunned. This little fellow, who had lingered at the Supreme Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, was now actually...

"This is...your human race?"

Three beams of light flashed by, and the three leaders of the Mechanical Race arrived beside Su Ping. After seeing the appearance of the people on the Primitive Star, they couldn't help but look at Su Ping.

"Hmm, a traitor to the human race," Su Ping replied coldly.

The three leaders exchanged glances, and suddenly understood something. As leaders of their own large clans, they knew that traitors were a common occurrence in any race, especially under extreme pressure, which made them more likely to become traitors.

"Since they're traitors, let's just kill them to avoid them making a fuss and alerting the monsters," Basha said. Although they had seen many traitors, it didn't mean they could tolerate them.

"You guys..."

The Primordial God had regained consciousness and saw the three alien powerhouses, as well as the Crimson Shadow, and Su Ping, who vaguely resembled the leader. He had never seen Su Ping before and did not know when such a supreme being had risen among the human race. Could he be an ancient monster left behind by some ruin?

"Red Shadow, you've also left the universe? How is it now? Are the Celestials still around?" the Primordial Lord immediately asked.

Crimson Shadow sneered, "So you do care about the universe? When you led the people of Primordial Star away, didn't you consider what the outcome would be?"

The Primordial God, his face full of bitterness, said, "The existence of the Celestial Race can be traced back to the extremely distant Chaos Era, a great era that we cannot see. Any god or demon in that era could easily sweep us away, and the Celestial Race even caused turmoil in the Chaos Era. I must preserve some seeds for the human race."

"So this is the spark you're talking about?" Chi Ying sneered. "Making your escape sound so elegant and refined, we're not children anymore, so don't give me this nonsense."

The Primal God fell silent. Indeed, they were all ancient monsters who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Such words could not even fool a child, and it was meaningless to say them.

He said, "When I learned that it was the Celestials, I didn't know the extent of their power. I was worried that they would destroy the universe in an instant, so I didn't have time to inform you. I just hurriedly left with the Primal Star. I know you can't forgive me, and if it were me, I wouldn't be able to forgive you either."

"Hmph!" Akakage sneered.

The Primordial God looked at him and said, "I didn't expect that among the twelve Supreme Beings, you are the most talented. Now you have also stepped into the Overlord Realm and broken away from the universe. Are these alien races your friends? Our enemy is the Celestial Race. We shouldn't fight among ourselves anymore. How about we form an alliance?"

Chi Ying couldn't help but chuckle, but instead of refusing, she looked at Su Ping.

Although he despised the actions of the original God, he had to admit that the latter was a powerful fighting force, and they had no chance of winning against the Celestials. Every bit of such a force was worthwhile.

"Didn't you leave the universe? Why are you here?" Su Ping didn't respond, but asked coldly.

The Primal God was somewhat surprised; judging from the Crimson Shadow's reaction, it seemed that the decision was being made by the young man beside him.

He carefully examined Su Ping, only to find that Su Ping did not possess the aura of a hegemon. On the contrary, judging solely from his realm, he seemed to be only at the supreme realm.

But he still vividly remembered the force of the opponent's shout that tore through the barrier of the original star to arrive here.

"And who are you?"

"Just answer my question," Su Ping said coldly.

The Primordial God was somewhat angry, but he showed no sign of it on the surface. He smiled and said, "We did have a coordinate outside the universe where we could temporarily reside, but unexpectedly, something went wrong there. We encountered a mutated Chaos God-Demon Beast, which destroyed that coordinate, and we have no choice but to wander around."

"Chaotic Divine Beasts?" Su Ping raised an eyebrow. "Are there Chaotic Divine Beasts in the Celestial Realm outside this universe?"

"Yes, but in extremely small numbers," said the Primordial God. "According to records, when the Chaos Era collapsed, many primordial gods and demons scattered and fled. These gods and demons drift outside this universe, but the space outside this universe is vast and boundless, so it's very difficult to encounter them. We were just too unlucky..."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Then why were you yelling and shouting just now?" Su Ping asked again.

The Primordial God paused slightly, his expression changed subtly, and he took a deep breath, saying, "When I fought that Chaos God-Beast, I was affected by its attack and was left with a lingering illness."

"Is the root of this problem just yelling and shouting?" Su Ping raised an eyebrow.

The Primal God was silent for a moment, then said to Su Ping, "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you. I have told you everything I know. In this foreign land, we are all human. I am willing to do my part for humankind. I once suggested the Federation, which has benefited the entire universe. You cannot refuse to cooperate just because of my escape, which you understand as a matter of course."

"Only by uniting can we exact our revenge!"

His gaze was unwavering, and his words were righteous and eloquent.

Su Ping remained calm and unmoved, saying, "Let me see if what you're saying is true or false."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed the five supreme beings from the original star, who gathered in front of him. These supreme beings had been transferred from various places and were still in shock. They felt like ants in the palm of a giant, unable to control their own lives.

They had only ever experienced this terrifying feeling with the original God.

Ignoring the five people's terrified gazes, Su Ping pointed his finger and invaded one person's consciousness, whose memories unfolded before his eyes like time itself.

Su Ping quickly scrolled through the pages and soon accessed the other party's memories of escaping from the universe.

From this memory, Su Ping saw the Primordial God, like a majestic deity, riding the Primordial Star out of the universe, and through some ancient formation, jumping to a certain coordinate outside the universe.

This coordinate system is located in a very secluded space where they live.

The flow of time within those coordinates differed from that outside. They remained there for over five hundred years when a chaotic divine beast suddenly approached. To avoid a collision, the Primordial God had no choice but to abandon those coordinates and flee with them, wandering beyond the universe.

After wandering for decades, one day, the original God suddenly stopped on the planet and left alone.

When he returned, nothing happened.

But ever since that day, the original God has occasionally gone mad and roared.

During his first outburst, he even killed a Supreme Being who was talking to him.

Later, the original God learned from them about his madness, so he dismissed them and built a barrier in his temple to prevent him from going mad again and killing them all.

Decades later, they found this mechanical universe and wandered within it, accidentally stumbling upon the Green Glass World where Su Ping was hiding.

Su Ping withdrew his consciousness from his memories, then absorbed another Supreme Being to examine their memories and verify their authenticity.

"Your Excellency is too domineering!" the Primordial God said angrily, his face showing anger. He did not expect Su Xing to act so recklessly, relying on the help of Chi Ying and the three alien overlords to run rampant.

"If our positions and strengths were reversed, you would be even more domineering than me," Su Ping said coldly. "The pity in my heart is the proof that you are alive and speaking to me now."

"you!"

The original God changed color; Su Ping's words were tantamount to directly tearing off the pretense of civility.

Su Ping ignored him and searched through the memories of the second supreme being, where he found a similar account.

He then captured two more conferred gods and examined their memories in the same way. He found that they were almost identical, only with different perspectives, but the overall process was similar, indicating that there was no fraud.

"What did you do decades ago?" Su Ping asked coldly, looking at the Primal God.

The Primordial God's expression changed slightly, and he said angrily, "I am, after all, a cosmic overlord. Is it not allowed for me to have some secrets of my own?"

"No." Su Ping said indifferently, "You betrayed humanity when it was in its most perilous time. No matter how many great achievements you have made in the past, they can all be erased from my record. Only when you truly touch the bottom line of your own life can you show the most authentic side. It is better to risk your life to help one person than to raise your hand to help millions."

"ridiculous!"

The Primordial God roared, "You too fled the universe, so what are you? Didn't you also abandon everyone else to survive alone?"

"At least we did our best." Su Ping said calmly, "We fought with all our might, and had no choice but to retreat. Even though many people couldn't be saved, and some had to be abandoned, at least we did our utmost and can be true to ourselves!"

"What a person who is true to his conscience. Even the most selfish person is true to his conscience. If he were truly uneasy, he wouldn't have gone so far." The Primal God sneered.

"I don't need your approval or your understanding. You just need to know that you have no right to negotiate or form an alliance. If you behave well, I can spare your life. If you behave poorly, we won't miss your overlord in the battle against the Celestial Clan."

Su Ping spoke in an extremely cold and domineering manner.

The Primordial God hadn't expected this complete stranger to be so ruthless and so confident. He stared intently at Su Ping and said, "Do you really think you can take me down with just a few of you? If I want to leave, you might not be able to stop me!"

"You're overthinking it!"

Su Ping knew that the other party wouldn't behave unless he taught them a lesson. With a cold snort, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm. With a bang, the barrier on the temple shattered instantly, the void trembled, and a vast power of Dao pressed down like the Five Sacred Mountains, acting on the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

The Primordial God was horrified, and his body almost collapsed to his knees. He hurriedly mobilized his cosmic power to reverse time and space and reflect the soul, but all of it was useless. Under Su Ping's surging power, all his power was torn apart. He had a feeling that if Su Ping wanted to, he could even pulverize him directly!

"This guy is that strong?!"

The original God was shocked and could not believe it.

Even though they were both at the Overlord Realm, he had never encountered such a situation before.

Could it be that the situation before us is not the Overlord Realm, but the legendary... Undying Realm?

Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, one can freely traverse the universe and travel throughout countless worlds!

And they are eternal and indestructible; time cannot erode or erase them, and their bodies will remain immortal after death!

"I didn't say you were leaving, so you're not leaving." Su Ping withdrew his power, looked at him coldly, and said, "You'd better tell me the truth. Considering how hard it was for you to become a hegemon, I'll give you some face. Don't force me to look into your memories."

The Primordial God's expression was complex; he hadn't expected that such a powerful being would be born there after he left the universe.

"I'll tell you," the Primordial God took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Back then, we were drifting around when we accidentally encountered something drifting outside the universe. I got this illness from that thing."

"Hmm?" Su Ping frowned. "What is it?"

"A corpse."

The Primordial God looked at Su Ping and said, "You might not believe it, but that corpse was unimaginably large. It had been torn apart by countless Great Daos outside the universe, yet it showed no signs of decay. It seemed to be peacefully asleep. If it weren't for the huge wounds covering its body, I would have really thought it was still alive."

Su Ping was stunned. In the celestial realm beyond the universe, a corpse was drifting.

Ancestor God?

"Since it's a corpse, what does that have to do with your illness?" Su Ping asked.

The Primal God sighed, "I don't know what kind of being this corpse was in life. I dare not think about it. Just one glance at it makes me feel like my consciousness and power are being drained. Over the years, the image of that corpse has occasionally appeared in my mind. Once it appears, it's like some kind of power has invaded my body and taken over. I just want to expel that power."

Su Ping was stunned. How could a powerful overlord, who had awakened the Dao Heart, encounter such a strange thing?

"If that's what you're saying, I'd like to see it for myself."

Su Ping said, "If you don't mind, I'll seal away your past memories and only look at your memories after you left the universe."

The Primordial God's expression changed. He, the mighty overlord of the universe, was being treated like a prisoner, utterly humiliated as Su Ping searched through his memories.

This is equivalent to stripping a person naked, exposing their most naked form.

This is clearly a humiliation that is hard to bear.

"I've already given you face," Su Ping said.

The Primal God gritted his teeth inwardly; he hadn't felt such frustration and anger in a long time.

But the situation is beyond their control. Su Ping alone is already formidable, not to mention the four others who are helping him.
