Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1378 The Final Nurturing Ground

"That's right."

Ina nodded and said, "We are going to the place where the Twelve Ancestral Witches are located. Only great beings like the Ancestral Witches, born from chaos, can preserve a pure land in this high heaven."

Su Ping was taken aback, and quickly asked, "May I ask which Ancestral Witch you are?"

"We cannot address the Ancestral Witch by her name directly. You will understand when you arrive." Ina glanced at Su Ping. Although she saw from Basha's memories that the human race had not overstepped their bounds and she had a good impression of the human race, it did not mean that she would completely trust Su Ping. In the history they had preserved, there were many bloody lessons.

Some races, humiliated by the tyranny of the Celestial Clan, willingly became its lackeys, which is why they were initially wary of Su Ping.

"All right."

Su Ping didn't press further, knowing he'd find out soon enough. However, he knew it wouldn't be the Golden Crow Clan, since they had sealed off their star and severed all ties with the outside world.

"Of the 12 Ancestral Witches, I've only met the Golden Crow Ancestor; I haven't met the other 11 yet..."

Su Ping's eyes flickered slightly as he asked Ina, "How long will this trip take? Are you confident you can leave safely?"

"It depends on how smooth the journey is. There are many broken Dao vortexes and rotten Dao chains in the high heavens that need to be avoided. If you are unlucky, it may take a long time. In your human race's time calculation, it may be three to five hundred years."

Ina said, "As for whether we can leave safely, we can only do our best. If anything happens, we'll all perish together."

Su Ping nodded, then asked with some doubt, "If we're going to escape, won't we notify anyone else?"

"Others?"

"The other ancestral gods of your clan."

"Um?"

Ina immediately looked at Su Ping, "Have you seen any of my clan's ancestral gods? Where are they?"

"..." Su Ping naturally couldn't say that he was nurturing a world, so he had no way to explain. He quickly said, "Your clan doesn't just consist of your few ancestral gods, does it?"

Ina felt that Su Ping's words were getting stranger and stranger, and her gaze toward Su Ping became more and more suspicious. She was on guard against Su Ping's sneak attack. She said calmly, "Our clan suffered heavy losses in the war after the invasion of the Celestial Clan. Now we are the survivors. Of course, there may be others elsewhere, but we don't have time to search for them."

Su Ping asked, "You must have some special method of location tracking, otherwise how did you find us here?"

Ina's eyes changed slightly. During the disaster of the Celestial Clan, their clan was divided into smaller groups and sealed in various Dao Crystal fragments. They had set their own positions and agreed that even if they encountered disaster, they would not deviate too much from their positions unless they encountered a devastating crisis and had to evacuate.

In their hands, there was a map showing the distribution of the various fragments.

However, after years of searching, they found that many Dao Crystal fragments had been destroyed and perished under the claws of the beasts left behind by the Celestial Clan.

"Time was short, and you happened to be on our escape route, not too far off, so we just stopped by to take a look." Ina glanced at Su Ping and said, "Is your human race only having one ancestral god?"

"I'm the only one in our universe," Su Ping said. "That's why we were utterly defeated by the Celestials and had no choice but to flee and wander."

Ina remained noncommittal, not entirely believing Su Ping's words.

Su Ping noticed the other party's wariness and didn't say anything more, saying, "I'll leave the control of the Dao Crystal to you. You can contact me anytime if you have any questions."

Ina's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Okay."

Su Ping returned to the Nine Provinces. Since the journey would take hundreds of years, he naturally couldn't accompany the other party to steer and enjoy the scenery. This time would be enough for him to cultivate in the world for a long time.

Although this is somewhat risky, as it's like handing the steering wheel to a stranger, with no idea where it will lead, Su Ping believed they wouldn't seek their own destruction.

The Machine Race was, after all, a victim of the Celestial Race. As long as they didn't seduce the Celestial Race, Su Ping had no objection to them going anywhere.

Moreover, even if there is real danger, he can put everyone into his own universe and control the shop to escape.

Although the system's defense limit has not been verified, Su Ping estimates it to be at the progenitor level.

This is the limit Su Ping knows, and also the end of cultivation. Apart from being nurtured by heaven and earth, no acquired god or demon can cultivate to this level.

However, before leaving the mechanical universe, Su Ping did not enter the nurturing world. After all, according to the other party, the Celestial Race was approaching, and it was questionable whether they could leave safely.

During this time, Su Ping informed his master that he planned to elevate all the human supreme beings to the Dao Heart Realm in one go.

In this way, if a crisis really occurs, they can quickly gather all the humans in Kyushu and assemble them in his shop when they flee.

Upon hearing the news, the God was pleasantly surprised and immediately summoned all the Supreme Beings to gather in the temple, where they then drew lots to determine their order.

Soon, the first Supreme item drawn arrived at Su Ping's shop.

Su Ping didn't say much. He led the other party to the testing room, then let the other party choose their Dao Heart, and then passed on the inheritance. After the inheritance was completed, he began to help the other party undergo tribulation.

After being subjected to the baptism of robbery, the opponent's potential was fully unleashed, and their realm and power were completely integrated and thoroughly consolidated.

Above the Green Glass World, Ina alone controls the Dao Crystal, soaring through the silent mechanical universe like a speck of dust, traversing countless nebulae, almost invisible.

She was surprised to see that Su Ping had actually handed over complete control of the Dao Crystal to her. Was this human really so naive that he completely trusted them, or did he have another trump card up his sleeve?

She relived Basha's memories and realized that the human race should not have a second ancestral god.

Given this, even if Su Ping was hiding some of his strength, it was impossible for him to take on three opponents at once.

Moreover... the three who appeared back then did not represent all of their power; they still held back some of it.

Thinking about this, Ina could only attribute it to the confidence and naivety of this human race.

She gazed at the dark universe through the Dao Crystal as she flew along, feeling a pang of sadness at the thought of bidding farewell forever to the universe that had given them life.

This place was once so dazzling, illuminated by the starlight, with colorful nebulae and countless warships shuttling back and forth. Now, only deathly silence remains.

In the void, one can still see many floating warship wrecks, some of which are covered with thick dust, and the corpses of many powerful comrades, frozen in space.

"The Celestial Clan..."

Hatred flashed in Ina's eyes. When that war broke out, she was not yet an Ancestral God, but a Dao Heart Realm cultivator.

Ten thousand years after the war ended, those tragic scenes became her nightmares, tormenting and afflicting her day and night, until she finally awakened and attained enlightenment, stepping into the realm of Ancestral Gods.

……

Time flies.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

On the Nine Provinces.

The human race's supreme beings have all become overlords. Under Su Ping's legacy, they have all chosen their preferred Dao Heart. Although inheriting the Dao Heart from Su Ping has essentially eliminated their possibility of becoming ancestral gods, it is still an immense blessing for them.

After all, relying solely on their own aptitude, even achieving the Dao mindset is a distant dream.

After a week, the Dao Crystal gradually traveled to the other side of the Mechanical Universe. Along the way, it encountered two more Dao Crystal Worlds. One of them contained the Ancestral God of the Mechanical Race, but there was only one.

The four Dao Crystal fragments gradually reached the edge of the universe.

Ina and the others remained silent, watching the approaching cosmic wall. They knew that this journey would be their last.

As they were about to part, they faintly sensed the will of the universe's origin, a very gentle force that seemed to be whispering, like a mother saying goodbye to her child.

Ina and the other ancestral gods had slightly moist eyes. Only they, as ancestral gods, could feel the will of the universe's origin and the profound emotions contained within that will.

Their growth was not only due to their own talents, but also nurtured by the origin of the universe. This kind of nurturing cannot be felt before reaching the Ancestral God Realm; it can only be attributed to one's own luck.

But everything in the universe has its order. High mountains and flowing water, stars rising and sunsets, even every snowflake that falls is formed by the Great Dao, and its quantity is predetermined in the dark.

Destruction, rebirth, reproduction, and extinction—this endless cycle is merely a tiny microcosm, a small gear on a giant wheel, driving an even greater destiny.

They silently bid farewell in their hearts, and then they saw the universe before them crack open, revealing a strange passage outside the crack.

This is a passage opened for them by the universe, and outside the passage lies a safe path.

This is also the last thing the universe does for them.

Ina and the others gritted their teeth slightly, and without hesitation, quickly steered the Dao Crystal fragments into the crevice and into the twisted passage.

Time stands still here. The passageway is a strange place where there is no concept of time and space. When they come out from the other end of the passageway, they have arrived in another distant place.

Behind them, the vortex slowly closed and dissipated.

The aura of the mechanical universe dissipated.

They gazed silently, and finally all performed the highest ceremony of the mechanical race, a ceremony they used for the first time since becoming ancestral gods.

After the ceremony, the tall, thin man took out a map of the heavens, followed by a severed hand. The hand was torn and rotting, with bone exposed in some places, but it exuded an aura of immortality, as if it had existed for countless years.

The severed hand floated in the void, then slowly raised its index finger, pointing to a spot in the void.

The tall, thin man breathed a sigh of relief, put away his severed hand, and said, "Let's go."

The group returned to the Dao Crystal, concealed their auras, and continued to drive the Dao Crystal forward, being extremely careful along the way and erasing all traces of their journey.

Within the Dao Crystal, above the Nine Provinces, Su Ping stood with his hands behind his back, gazing silently.

He witnessed the entire process of the mechanical race leaving the universe. With the help of the mechanical universe's origin, they were able to leave smoothly.

"We've found the direction. As long as we're careful, we'll reach that place soon." Ina's figure, like a soft ray of light, coalesced around Su Ping.

"How long is 'soon'?"

"It will be very soon, less than three hundred years," Ina said.

Su Ping nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"You still intend to let me control it?" Ina asked.

Su Ping said, "I plan to go into seclusion for a while. If you need anything, contact my clansmen, and they will inform me."

"You're already in the Undying Universe, and above you are the Twelve Ancestral Witches, which are beyond what we can achieve through cultivation. Further cultivation would be useless. Why are you going into seclusion now? Aren't you being too ambitious?" Ina couldn't help but say.

"How do I know it won't work if I don't try? Besides, I don't necessarily need to reach a higher realm, but as long as I continue to cultivate, I will always become a little stronger, even if it's just a little bit," Su Ping said.

Ina touched her forehead and said, "Are all humans this strange?"

"well enough."

After saying goodbye to Ina, Su Ping returned to the pet shop. He silently called out to the system, "System, you can sense what's happening outside the shop, right? If anything happens, can you notify me in the breeding world?"

"It's possible, but there will be a charge," the system said casually. "Don't worry, it's only a little over 10 energy points per use."

Su Ping's lips twitched; it was still the same black color as before.

For the system, it's just a matter of a single sentence; this is clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Su Ping shook his head, too lazy to argue with the system. His shop was always packed with customers, most of whom were at the Divine Realm level, and most of the pets he was raising were also at the Divine Realm level. The income was considerable, and this amount of energy was nothing to him.

Passing by the counter, Su Ping asked Joanna for a list of professionally bred pets, and then went to the pet room to find them.

With his current power, he doesn't need the temporary contract symbols constructed by the system; he can sign temporary contracts with them using his Contract Dao Heart and bring them into the nurturing world.

Moreover, he can freely sign contracts with pets and terminate them without suffering the weakened state of soul tearing after termination.

Having reached the Ancestral God Realm, Su Ping's comprehension of the Great Dao has surpassed perfection. His current abilities are even more exaggerated than some creator gods and primordial beings.

After all, the creator god only created one universe.

This is just the basic operation of the Supreme Realm.

After selecting his pet, Su Ping brought up the breeding grounds. He didn't flip through the list; his gaze fell on the first name that popped up, which was also a hidden breeding ground at the very top of all the breeding grounds: the High Heaven Remnant Realm!

The entrance fee to the High Heaven Realm is extremely expensive, costing 100 million energy points per visit.

Each resurrection requires 100W of energy.

Su Ping didn't have this much power before, and judging from the price alone, it was an extremely dangerous place. Even if he went, he would probably die instantly, so it wouldn't be of much use. At most, he could broaden his horizons.

But things are different now. Having reached the Ancestral God Realm, Su Ping has essentially joined the ranks of the top powerhouses throughout the ages.

Above that is the 12 Ancestral Witches level.

Su Ping is now confident that he can venture into such a place.

He also wanted to see just how dangerous this place was, given the exorbitant ticket price.

"Warning! The host is about to enter a Chaos-level cultivation ground. The entrance fee is 1 million energy. Please confirm!" The system's voice became serious, causing Su Ping's heart to beat faster for no apparent reason.

Su Ping didn't hesitate and said, "Confirmed."

Soon, Su Ping saw that the shop's energy had been deducted by 100 million. Before he could even feel the pain, he saw the teleportation vortex open. But this time, as soon as the vortex appeared, Su Ping felt an ominous aura spreading out, as if some unknown force was invading the shop.
