Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1399 Ten Thousand Years of Austerity

"Now that you've awakened and returned to your true form, when shall we strike?" Su Ping asked.

"No rush."

The girl said, "Once you reach your current limit, you will have found a path that belongs to you. I have deduced that if you reach the pinnacle of this cultivation method, although you will not have a Chaos Godhead, your power will be infinitely close to that of the Ancestral Witches."

"real?"

Su Ping was pleasantly surprised. Receiving the system's affirmation made him feel invigorated. It seemed that the path he had chosen was indeed the right one.

Being able to get infinitely close to the Ancestral Witch is already incredibly incredible.

"The Ancestral Witches control the Chaos Godhead, able to dominate chaos, creating and destroying all things with a single thought, capable of condensing and exploding countless universes with a single thought!"

The girl said, "There are three thousand major Daos that have evolved from the chaos, and tens of millions of minor Daos. Once you condense all three thousand major Daos into a universe, your power will be close to that of the Ancestral Witch. It is too difficult for the tens of thousands of minor Daos to cultivate into an indestructible universe. It is impossible to achieve. There is not enough power in the world to fill it."

"When your three thousand Great Daos have become the universe, that will be the time for us to prepare to fight against the Heavenly Dao Clan."

Su Ping was stunned: "So, when the war starts depends entirely on me?"

"That's right," the girl said. "In my calculations, you will be able to achieve perfection within ten thousand years, and that will be the time for us to go to the Chaos Ancestral Land and fight against the Heavenly Dao."

"Ten thousand years...wouldn't that be too long?" Su Ping couldn't help but ask.

"What is a relatively long timeframe for your human race is but an extremely short moment in the primordial chaos. This war spans countless ages, so giving you ten thousand years is nothing," the girl said.

Su Ping had never been to the Chaos Ancestral Land, but from what the system said, it was clear that it was a place completely different from the outside world.

There, a battle was still raging, while outside, the world had changed beyond recognition, and countless ages had passed.

"Moreover, during the time you are cultivating, the other Ancestral Witches will also arrive. I have already notified them to gather here," the girl said.

Su Ping understood. He took a deep breath. Once his cultivation was over, he would fight alongside the four Ancestral Witches in the Second World War. This was a battle that would determine his life or death, and also a battle that would determine the lives of all living beings in the entire chaotic world and the endless universe!

It's meaningless to refuse to fight or to live a life of ignominy.

When the primordial chaos is controlled by the Heavenly Dao, chaos will be reopened, and billions of universes will be destroyed. Except for the Ancestral Witches, no one can escape.

"Can I still go to the cultivation grounds to train now?" Su Ping asked.

"certainly."

The girl said, "Now that you know the true origin of the nurturing ground, some of the lives you killed in the nurturing ground perished in the war of the Heavenly Dao, while others survived the war. But having experienced the war of the Heavenly Dao, I believe they will not resent you. Perhaps you will have a chance to see them again after this war begins."

Su Ping was slightly taken aback.

He had killed many monsters in the breeding grounds, including some hostile creatures.

For example, in the Primordial God Realm, he killed Lin Zu, as well as a number of Ancestral God Realm divine beasts.

"I never thought I'd be comrades with them..." Su Ping sighed. Although these comrades spanned a long period of time, they had all fought for a common goal.

"I'll take you to see an Ancestral Witch first," the system's words interrupted Su Ping's thoughts.

Su Ping immediately sensed that the barrier separating the shop had disappeared, and he could perceive the situation outside the shop. As his perception extended, a terrifying aura, as deep as an abyss, also appeared in his perception, standing outside the shop.

"The Ancestral Witch..."

"It is the Ancestral Witch of Tiluo," the girl said.

The shop door opened, and a tall, slender young man dressed in a black robe walked in. He had transformed into a human form, but his entire body exuded a terrifying aura like that of a ferocious beast. This aura, like that of a menacing octopus, spread to every corner of the shop as he stepped in.

Even in those rooms where the system was closed, these scents permeated the air.

The shop, which had never been infiltrated before, was easily infiltrated in front of this ancestral witch.

Everything in the shop was captured without exception and presented to the other party's perception.

"Is this the Crying Ancestral Witch of this place?" Su Ping was slightly taken aback, looking at the black-clad youth walking towards him. He knew that the other party's true form was extremely terrifying, indescribable, and even beyond the comprehension of ordinary life. The human youth form that he was in front of was only to make it easier for him to materialize in his eyes so that he could "understand" it.

"Is this the third guardian you found? He seems slightly stronger than the previous two." The young man in black looked at Su Ping indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotion. Even though he had transformed into a human, he did not deliberately simulate human emotions, making his expression extremely indifferent.

"That's right, his performance exceeded my expectations." The girl nodded in agreement.

She looked at Su Ping and chuckled, "Back then, to make it easier for you to understand my existence, I specifically found a planet called Earth and chose you from there. It was originally a random choice, but now it seems I made the right one."

"You asked me before if I was satisfied with you, and now I can answer you: I'm very satisfied!"

Su Ping glanced at her, surprised that she still remembered something from so long ago.

It turns out that my past life was a transmigration from Earth, and it was also the work of this dog... this system that looks pretty good.

"I knew it. How could hand training be so easy to time travel... Besides, time travel only happens in novels. How could it exist in reality unless there is an unavoidable third party..." Su Ping thought to himself.

He asked, "The history of Earth and Blue Star has many similarities, except for a few historical figures. They're basically the same. You didn't deliberately create this, did you?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Of course not. Although I can make them at will, there is no need for that. In the billions of universes, there are countless life-bearing planets. Let alone just being similar, it would be easy to find a second planet with a completely overlapping history and the exact same name as Earth. There are even hundreds of planets called Earth, and the people and histories born there are basically similar."

"After all, the evolution of life is basically similar, especially for ordinary life. From primitive times to the Industrial Revolution, most of them will go through such a process."

Su Ping was slightly taken aback and fell silent for a moment.

He knew the system was right, but it also reflected that there were just too many universes in this chaos, so many that finding an exact replica of Earth would be a piece of cake.

The battle they were fighting for carried countless lives.

"As the third host, you just chose randomly, without any requirements, such as whether I have an ancient bloodline or am a reincarnation of an ancestral god?" Su Ping felt that the system's statement about choosing randomly was a bit too casual.

"The reincarnation of an ancestral god is nothing special. I can create an ancestral god with ease, but the ancestral gods I create are nothing special, too ordinary."

The girl said calmly, "Although I picked you randomly, I know that no matter how bad or ordinary you are, you can achieve good results under my guidance. On the contrary, if I deliberately seek out some geniuses with exceptional intelligence, they may not be able to bring out their full potential under my training."

"After all, at the end of cultivation, what matters isn't potential, but experience!"

"Whether it's a person or a pig, once I give it this experience, it will become the way I want it to be."

Su Ping was speechless; this system was truly exceptionally arrogant.

"Everything can be nurtured. The life in this world may seem to have a thousand faces, but in reality, most of them are the same face. It just depends on your perspective and how you understand it," the girl said.

Su Ping sighed, "I thought it was my good looks from my past life that attracted you."

The girl rolled her eyes at Su Ping and said, "Your looks are worthless in my eyes. Our aesthetics are not from the same group."

"But absolute beauty can transcend race."

"But you are not."

"hehe."

Knowing Su Ping's usual personality, the girl didn't argue with him further and said, "Originally, I wanted to ask Ti Luo to become your battle pet and sign a contract with you, but I failed the first two times. It's already very difficult for him to agree to participate in the battle this time. You can only rely on your own few companions. Fortunately, they have all performed well and at least they haven't held you back."

Su Ping was somewhat surprised and looked at the young man in black beside him. He hadn't expected the system to help him persuade the other party.

"I still remember how his spirit was absorbed. He was utterly foolish. I could never sign a contract with him." The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo sneered. "This contract is for controlling subordinates. I have no desire to have any entanglement with him, especially not in terms of consciousness."

The girl seemed to recall the past, sighed softly, and said to Su Ping, who looked puzzled, "The second host signed the Spirit Platform Ancestral Witch as his battle pet. In order to make them work together seamlessly, they trained together beforehand. But they lost that battle, and the second host also died in battle. The Spirit Platform originally had a chance to escape..."

"But he insisted on courting death, saying he wanted to take over half of the body that killed that guy, and ended up sending himself to his death instead," the Ancestral Witch Ti Luo said with a cold laugh.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, and a scene involuntarily flashed through his mind.

The second host died in battle, and the Lingtai Ancestral Witch, whom he had never met, attacked the Heavenly Dao to avenge the other party.

Su Ping understood the bond that the contract would bring about, a close connection between souls. Once the contract was signed, the collision of their consciousnesses would inevitably generate emotions, unless the other party was completely indifferent to the contractor.

"Emotions are harmful things; Lingtai was killed by them," the Ancestral Witch Tiluo said coldly. "Not only me, but the other three wouldn't do such a stupid thing either."

Su Ping glanced at him; the other party was afraid of signing a contract and doing the same thing as the Ancestral Witch of Lingtai.

"It's okay, I'll stay with you," the girl said to Su Ping.

Su Ping looked at the system, gazing into its clear and calm eyes, and suddenly realized that the one who had been by his side the longest was the system.

Whether in life or death, at any moment, the other person is always there.

"Your so-called system binding with me should be a pet contract, except you are the master and I am the pet..." Su Ping stared at the system and said.

The girl also gazed at Su Ping and said, "That's right, my help to you is equivalent to raising a pet beast."

"Then why can't I sense your thoughts?" Su Ping immediately asked.

"Because I have closed myself off," the girl said. "I am the Mother of Chaos. My consciousness and inner voice are too vast. If I were to open them to you, you would be unable to bear it and would go mad. Even with your current strength, you would not be able to bear it. Unless you can obtain the Chaos Godhead and become an Ancestral Witch, and have the protection of the Chaos Godhead, I can not open them to you."

Su Ping understood, and felt a mix of emotions.

I felt a little frustrated, and a little strange.

He raised Little Skeleton and Er Gou, thinking he was an excellent battle pet master, but he never expected to be someone else's beast.

Although this other person is the first life in all the heavens and myriad realms, the Mother of Chaos.

But Su Ping still felt something was off.

However, he did not feel uncomfortable because he did not feel that his pet was inferior to his master.

This contract is not about superiors and subordinates, but about equality.

It's just a matter of strength; one will become dominant.

In other words, now that the system has truly awakened and regained its original power, Su Ping has become a beast, but before that, Su Ping was equivalent to the system's master.

That's why the concept of a "host" exists.

"Was it your doing that this Ancestral Witch of Tears gathered the refugees from all universes here?" Su Ping asked.

The girl nodded and said, "This started long before the Third World War ended."

"But the management here seems a bit chaotic," Su Ping said. "Can such a rabble truly unite as one when facing the Heavenly Dao?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I will directly take them into the universe and use their bodies as power. Even if they are unwilling, they will have to participate in the war!" said the Ancestral Witch Ti Luo in a cold voice.

Su Ping frowned and asked, "What do you mean? You mean we'll use them as fuel?"

"Fuel? That's a good description, pretty much it." The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo said indifferently, "That's their intended use, so it's making the most of them."

Su Ping's face was somewhat gloomy as he said, "But they are living beings, truly alive!"

"Life is used in this way. Do you think something is so noble?" Ti Luo Zu Wu looked at Su Ping with some displeasure. He could feel Su Ping's anger, but he found it somewhat ridiculous. "Simply put, rocks, metals, and life all have a price tag. Life is 5, metals are 2, and rocks are 1."

"Only life itself considers itself priceless because it compares itself to rocks and metals, but to us, the life you see is no different from metals and rocks."

"No, that's not it." Su Ping looked at him seriously and said, "Life is not priceless, but it should not be wasted either. Besides, the method you described is the most wasteful and extravagant use of resources. They could have become blades, but you only used them as fuel. Even if you treated them as metal, then this metal was clearly meant to be forged into a blade, but you forged it into a hilt!"
