Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1400 Life

Ti Luo Zu Wu chuckled coldly and said, "This method is indeed a bit barbaric, but it is the most efficient and the one that can best utilize their power. Could it be that you want to train them in a unified way? These millions of races have different living habits and preferences, and some races even believe that war is a sin."

"You want to tame and unify them? There are ways, but they're too slow and unnecessary. After all, using my methods, they'll be put to good use!"

Su Ping said, "If you can give me ten thousand years to cultivate, you can also adjust the flow of time here, giving them one million years to cultivate and cooperate."

"If it's just about getting them to work together, it wouldn't take a million years; I could do it easily, but it's pointless."

The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo said coldly, "Your races rule the lower classes through dogmas, morality, religion, laws, and rituals, which is nothing more than allowing the lower classes to use them as freely as weapons without harming themselves."

"When a general attacks a place and calculates the troop strength and terrain above, lives are just simple numbers."

Similarly, when a ruler considers whether a place can be developed, he also takes into account the economic and environmental factors surrounding the area.

"Regardless of the type, when a decision-maker does something, the first thing the commander considers in the eyes of the life that obeys the command is their 'efficiency,' just like you said about fuel. To what extent can this group of people get things done, can they accomplish this task, and how to maximize the benefits they control are the first considerations of the rulers of millions of races."

He looked at Su Ping with a sneer and said, "If I wanted to, I could directly modify their memories, making them recognize each other and treat each other as family! This is just like the changes brought about by the religions and morals of your races. It's just that your races are too weak and can only be educated by external forces, while I can do it with just a thought."

"But that doesn't make sense."

He said, "It's no different from throwing them directly into my universe to serve as fuel. If the Chaos Ancestral Land is destroyed, they will still die. If this battle is lost, they will still die. In any case, their fate is annihilation, so their brief existence is meaningless."

"In the chaotic world, they are like mayflies. Eternity is an extremely long time for them, but it is only a brief respite for us."

He chuckled lightly, "I have seen through your human race. I know all your cultural doctrines. Do you think that what you consider ants have any meaning in existence?"

Do you think the life of an ant is extremely meaningful?

"If you insist on saying yes, then do you think the invisible bacteria on your palm also have a special meaning in their lives? Do you cherish them? Respect them? Care about them?"

Faced with the series of questions from the Ancestral Witch Ti Luo, Su Ping remained silent for a moment.

Indeed, in some respects, he could not refute what the other party said.

This is the most ironic thing about life.

Those who advocate for "caring for equality" are always the weak.

Rich people will never think of giving half of their assets to the poor; they only want to make more money off others.

When life reaches a certain level, one becomes indifferent to those below oneself.

Life is indeed priceless.

But every life has a price tag in the eyes of others.

Just like the Ti Luo Ancestral Witch before us, life in his eyes is merely fuel, just a group of moving energies!

"All things and all races are the same, you are right..." Su Ping couldn't help but sigh softly.

"That's natural." Ti Luo Zu Wu sneered. His words were correct, and it was not Su Ping's place to praise him. In fact, he thought it was ridiculous to praise an Zu Wu.

"but……"

Su Ping stared at him and said, "Being in a high position allows you to despise and disregard life, but that's only you! The meaning of life isn't given by bystanders, but by ourselves!"

"Life is meaningful when you feel it has meaning, not when others judge it!"

"Some people may be worthless in the eyes of others, but if they live a wonderful life and feel happy, that's enough."

You cannot define the meaning of others; you can only define the meaning of their existence to you!

"Perhaps these lives cannot change the chaotic world and will eventually perish, just like the billions of stars you see and the dust drifting in the sky. You won't care, but they live wonderful lives, and that's enough."

The smile on the face of the Ancestral Witch, Ti Luo, faded slightly, and she coldly snorted, "Nonsense! You still haven't grasped the truth!"

"This doesn't require enlightenment."

Su Ping said, "All I know is that as participants in the war, they should be aware of the situation they will face. I believe that many of them come with familial hatred and genuinely want to contribute to this war, rather than simply becoming fuel!"

"I believe they're willing to think about improving and becoming stronger even up to the last second before the battle, so they can perform even better in the fight!"

"Perhaps not all races are like this, but there are definitely races that are!"

"Therefore, I cannot and must not betray such kindness!"

"Whether we lose this battle, whether we all perish, whether the ancestral land of chaos is destroyed, or whether the entire chaos is reborn... at least we were here. In our lives, with our thoughts, we felt joy, we felt sorrow, we felt love and hate. Even if we ultimately turn to ashes, we will find our lives meaningful!"

"Participating in this war is also very meaningful!"

Su Ping stared at the Ti Luo Ancestral Witch and said, "No matter what kind of life it is, after death, consciousness disappears. Whether it's the myriad universes, the ancestral land of chaos, or the entire chaotic world, it all becomes meaningless to those who have died. Including you, the Ancestral Witch, your demise is equally meaningless to those who have died!"

"So, it's enough to feel that life is meaningful while you're alive."

The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo's face darkened. "You dare criticize me?" she said.

"What do you want?" Su Ping looked directly at him.

"I don't think he's wrong." The girl spoke, suppressing the gradually fluctuating aura between the two. She glanced at Su Ping and said to Ti Luo Ancestral Witch, "Perhaps it is because we have been holding such thoughts that we have failed time and time again. This is true for billions of races, and it is true for all life. But... the instincts and commonalities of life do not mean that they are correct."

"There is no right or wrong in this world, only strength and weakness," the Ancestral Witch Ti Luo sneered.

Su Ping glanced at him and said to the girl, "I hope that in my spare time from cultivation, I can gather all the races here, train them, coordinate them, and maximize their combat power."

"Hmph, why bother with all that trouble? I can just modify their memories directly," said the Ancestral Witch Ti Luo.

Su Ping coldly said, "Just because you can directly modify memories, they will only develop according to the specific trajectory you modified. That's no different from being a walking corpse. It does produce the same 'efficiency' as your so-called fuel method, but the biggest difference between life and non-life is the miracle of life!"

"The miracle of life lies in its diversity, which cannot be predetermined. Some may remain silent and dormant, while others may unleash an extremely brilliant power, exceeding all expectations. This is something you cannot achieve through the modification of fixed memories!"

Ti Luo Zu Wu coldly snorted, "That's true, but this efficiency is too slow. You'd be better off using this time to speed up your own cultivation. The Heavenly Dao Clan is already attacking the Chaos Ancestral Land. We can start a war at any time, but we're just waiting for you."

The girl looked at Su Ping and said, "If you want to do it, then do it. I understand you, and I won't stop you. Don't forget, I am your system, and I will always stand by your side."

"You!" The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo was furious upon hearing this.

Looking into the girl's gentle gaze, Su Ping was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't believe that the girl in front of him was the system that usually bickered with him and spied on him.

"I understand," Su Ping said.

"Hmph, go ahead and spoil him!" The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo's eyes flashed with anger as she glanced at the girl and turned to leave.

The girl watched him leave, then turned to Su Ping with a gentle smile and said, "Although I gave birth to the 12 Ancestral Witches, you three, the hosts I nurtured, are also like my three children."

Su Ping felt somewhat helpless. When it came to children, he simply couldn't get used to this guy who usually argued with him treating him like a child.

"I've always thought of us as being of the same generation..."

You're overthinking it.

"I can be on top and you can be on the bottom."

"impossible."

Su Ping shook his head and said, "Then I'll continue cultivating. By the way, with your current power, you should have no problem suppressing the Ancestral Witch, right?"

"No problem," the girl said with a smile.

Su Ping nodded and asked, "Then what realm do you belong to? You mentioned the Ancestral Witch, who controls the Chaos Godhead and can condense countless universes with a single thought. What about you? What is your power? I feel like I can hardly understand it anymore. The ultimate power in this world should be the annihilation of countless universes with a single thought, right..."

"I'm about the same, except I'm stronger than them. How should I put it? My quality is higher than theirs," the girl chuckled.

Su Ping nodded in realization. The system really understood him; he understood the description immediately.

"Okay, I'll go cultivate now." Su Ping blinked and said, "We shouldn't need to use energy anymore, right?"

"I'll pay, you can go ahead and do whatever you want," the girl said. "Consider it a reward for upgrading your shop."

"Extravagant!"

Su Ping gave a thumbs up and then saw Joanna in the shop, who sat there like a statue. He had noticed that something was wrong with her earlier, and now he understood everything from the system. Su Ping knew that the system had temporarily "powered down" her.

"See you in battle..."

Su Ping spoke to the stunningly beautiful woman sitting quietly in the shop.

Afterwards, Su Ping selected a cultivation site and took Er Gou and the others to continue their cultivation there.

Whether it was due to the system's assistance or not, Su Ping found that he encountered more Ancestral God Realm cultivators in the advanced cultivation grounds. Each hunt yielded a large amount of Dao Power, which he absorbed one by one, resulting in an increasing number of universes condensed within his body.

"System, is the power I'm absorbing actually your energy?"

Su Ping asked.

"More or less," the system said. "You don't need to feel guilty..."

"No, what I meant was, since that's the case, could you just send it to me directly? That would be much faster." Su Ping looked like a curious child.

"roll!"

The system's response was very brief.

"I'm serious," Su Ping said.

"I'm serious."

The system said, "You are currently hunting down Ancestral God Realm cultivators to absorb and digest their power, and you are constantly facing new battles. This process is all about digestion and absorption, and it also helps you to hone your growing strength. It's practically the same as directly transferring the power to you."

Su Ping thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

As time passed, Su Ping continued his cultivation in the breeding grounds day after day.

Outside the shop, the cries of the Ancestral Witch Continent echoed.

One after another, various races arrived and were settled on this continent.

"In this battle, I will do my best."

High in the sky above the continent, two figures of consciousness stood, namely the Ancestral Witch Tiluo and the girl.

"If we encounter danger, I will run away. I don't want to die. I hope you understand." Ti Luo Zu Wu turned to look at the girl beside him. The emotion in his eyes was not as cold as his words. Instead, it was somewhat complicated and obscure, as if it carried infinite tenderness, regret, and love.

The girl nodded slightly and said, "Just do your best. I don't want to see you all perish. I've already lost enough children."

"They'll be here soon..."

The Ancestral Witch of Tears sighed softly, gazing into the void, and said in a low voice.

The girl nodded slightly. "I can sense their location. They will arrive one after another in about three thousand years."

"It's really short-lived. We'll see them soon." The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo sighed and said, "I wonder if these guys have regressed. They were badly beaten in the previous two battles."

"We should also prepare to bring those long-forgotten weapons back to life," the girl said.

Ti Luo, the Ancestral Witch, nodded slightly. "Yellow Springs Reverse Flow, summon those guys back. Let them reunite ahead of time and give them some training."

"I'll help him train here. He's right, these races need training and coordination," the girl said.

"Do you really support his ideas? That's just a weakness inherent in such a weak being. Even if he becomes an immortal, he can't get rid of it. After all, he wasn't born as a chaotic god or demon." The Ancestral Witch Ti Luo frowned.

"Our approach failed, so I wanted to try his." The girl gazed at him and said, "And I think what he said and what he thought were right. To these beings, they don't even know you and I exist. In their eyes, we are meaningless. Let them experience their final journey of death firsthand, whether willingly or not. Otherwise... it's too pitiful."

"You actually feel sorry for them? That's an emotion only weak creatures have," said the Ancestral Witch Ti Luo.

"Emotions are a kind of power, and there's nothing wrong with that," the girl said.
