Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 919 Sea of ​​Divine Soul

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the trial is almost over.

During his hunt, Su Ping encountered several contestants from other star sectors. Some of them were attacked by hordes of zombies, but Su Ping did not offer any assistance, as it would be dangerous for him to deal with the zombie hordes himself.

Players from other star regions saw Su Ping and tried to seize the Divine Core, but Su Ping suppressed them all, eliminating them from the competition early.

Just as Su Ping had predicted, this Divine Ruins was similar to the Supreme's Small World; when the contestants were about to be killed, they were directly transferred away.

"32000 divine cores, I wonder where I'll rank. I should be able to get into the top 100 without any problem," Su Ping thought to himself. He had been hunting diligently all the way, and he considered his hunting efficiency to be quite high. The possibility of being eliminated was not high. If things went well, he might even rank in the top three.

"I'll ask my master or Senior Brother Youlong about that strange corpse and this Divine Ruins later," Su Ping thought to himself, recalling the strange corpse with familiar eyes from before.

Although he had never seen the face of the grotesque corpse before, its eyes gave him an extremely familiar feeling; it must have been someone he had seen before.

The trial ended quickly.

Su Ping was fighting a monstrous corpse when suddenly his figure lightened, and he was enveloped by a vast power, leaving the deep space. When he reappeared, he had already returned to the Chaos Divine Grass.

Su Ping glanced around and immediately noticed that there were far fewer people around him, with only a few familiar faces remaining.

Su Jin'er, who was not far from him, also looked over at him. Her pretty face was a little dusty, but when she met Su Ping's gaze, she immediately smiled.

On the other side, the golden-wheeled youth who had been enslaved by Su Ping during the previous preliminary selection was also selected.

Su Ping also saw Linghu Jian, the disciple of the Sword God.

The Dragon Emperor, Saintess Chiba, and others were all gone, as were Claysaber, Ibetaluna, and others who had been protected by Su Ping during the Star Region Selection; all of them were eliminated.

Su Ping felt a little regretful, but he also knew that with their combat strength, it would indeed be very difficult in this Divine Ruins.

Even he, if he's unlucky and accidentally gets targeted by a god-level monster corpse, could be eliminated early.

"Survivors: 294!"

A towering figure flew over; it was a deity who had been granted godhood. He was tall and imposing, looking down at the crowd like a god, exuding an unapproachable majesty: "Having completed the survival requirements, we will now begin to tally the divine cores you have hunted. Those ranked by the number of divine cores will be among the top 100 and will be eligible to participate in the next round of the competition."

"A Star Lord Realm Divine Core, one is equivalent to five!"

"Now, please take out your divine cores and begin the settlement."

Of the 12 star sectors and 1200 people in total, less than 300 survived.

As the deity spoke, everyone took out their own divine cores and piled them up in front of them. Some people took out only a few hundred divine cores, while others took out several thousand. The pile was half a person high.

While taking out the divine core, Su Ping also checked the situation of the others. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that most people had hundreds or thousands of divine cores.

But such a situation is considered normal.

After all, hunting down thousands of Star Realm zombies in just a few days is no easy task.

Soon, figures at the Star Lord level flew over and began to settle accounts before the crowd.

The sorting process was swift; a sweep of starlight revealed the number of divine cores instantly, as if detected by an instrument.

These star lords began registering.

When Su Ping took out the divine cores, there were some small gasps around him. Seeing the mountain of divine cores in front of Su Ping, the geniuses who had hunted thousands of divine cores nearby widened their eyes slightly. They thought they had hunted enough, at least enough to be in the top 100, or even have a chance to be in the top 10.

Looking at it now, there are so many monsters out there!

Besides the pile here in Su Ping's place, many other people also took out a large number of divine cores.

The pile of divine cores in front of Su Jin'er reached up to her head, numbering in the tens of thousands. But when she saw the divine cores in front of Su Ping, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat helpless. She hadn't expected that they, who had come to participate in the competition, would be forced out by these complete novices. If their identities were exposed, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

"snort!"

A young man dressed in blood stood before a mountain of divine cores. He surveyed the entire scene with disdain, but when he saw that several other people had just as many divine cores piled up in front of them, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes turned cold.

I thought I stood out from the crowd, but it turns out there were a few other cranes out there!

Not long after, the number of divine cores was tallied.

"Ranked number one, Black Eyes Star Region, Luo Ying!"

"The quantity is 43292!"

"Second place, Golden Star Region, Suping, with 39201 stars!"

"Third place, Sword Wave Sector, Stephen Reilly, with 39200!"

"Fourth place, Tianlong Star Region, Dragon Shepherds, with 31382 units!"

"Fifth place..."

The person who conferred the title announced the rankings one by one. After the top ten were announced, the rankings of the remaining people were displayed directly on a projected list of virtual characters.

Others quickly searched for their names on the list, some looking directly at the last 100th place. When they saw that the number there was 8209, many people's faces showed despair.

They knew the number of their divine cores; without even looking, they knew they had been eliminated.

"No promotion..."

When Linghu Jian saw the number of divine cores for the 100th place, a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He had only hunted a little over 2000 divine cores, which was several times less than the passing mark.

Is this the universe's top genius?

From childhood to adulthood, he was always ahead of his peers. He was the most dazzling person on the entire planet and even in the entire galaxy. But when he looked at the vast universe, he couldn't even make it into the top 100.

It's easy to imagine what kind of monsters those who can advance to the top 100 must be.

"Second place?"

Su Ping was somewhat surprised to see the rankings, but he quickly accepted them. They were pretty much as he had guessed, at least in the top five. He just hadn't expected that he would almost have become number one.

"He actually hunted more than four thousand more than me. This person is quite fast at hunting." Su Ping's eyes flashed. He asked himself if he had wasted any time during this period. He had been hunting day and night, and his methods were very effective. He was also going all out, even using the Darkest Divine Body of the Witch Clan.

As a result, the hunting speed was surpassed by more than four thousand.

"Just one more?"

On the other side, a young man with deep-set eyes and a strong nose was stunned. He was only one point behind the second place. This was amazing.

He couldn't help but look at Su Ping in the crowd, observing and sizing him up.

Meanwhile, Su Ping was observing Luo Ying, who was ranked number one. Luo Ying was a slender young man dressed in black. On his exposed skin were extremely subtle scales, which shimmered with dark purple lightning.

Luo Ying was also observing the other top-ranked people. When she saw Su Ping's gaze, she looked at Su Ping as well. Their eyes met, and neither of them looked away or backed down. They just looked at each other quietly.

Luo Ying suddenly smiled and gave a peculiar look, as if to say, "I'm waiting for your challenge."

Su Ping smiled slightly and turned to look at the others.

Although Luo Ying is currently ranked first, the others should not be underestimated. After all, no one knows if they are hiding their true abilities, and some may not be good at hunting but are better suited for combat.

"The top ten will receive a chance to enter the Divine Soul Sea."

"Entry time is 10 minutes."

"The top three will advance to the 30-minute mark."

"The champion enters the one-hour mark."

"The rest of you, rest well here and prepare for the competition in two days. By the way, the Supremes have already discussed and decided to give you a new challenge. The battle in two days will be exceptionally brutal. I hope you are prepared, because you may truly die!"

The one who conferred the title of God said calmly.

Everyone who heard this felt a chill run down their spines.

They knew this wasn't a deliberate attempt to intimidate them or raise their guard; they were truly going to die.

"What is the Divine Soul Sea?" Su Ping asked curiously. The difference between the second and first place was that the time it took to enter the sea was twice as long, while the other top ten contestants could only enter for 10 minutes. This shows how precious the Divine Soul Sea is.

"You ten, come with me."

After the deity finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned Su Ping and the other nine people to his side. Then he vanished in an instant with them, and when they reappeared, they were outside a grand hall.

Two deities stood outside the hall, seemingly guards.

A subtle yet vast aura of holiness emanated from the hall, making it clear without even looking that a supreme being resided within.

The one who conferred the gods arrived and bowed outside the hall, saying, "My esteemed lords, I have brought them here, and they are ready to go to the Sea of ​​Divine Souls."

"Okay, go ahead."

A detached voice came from inside; it was the Shepherd God Supreme who had spoken earlier.

"The Divine Soul Sea is the core area of ​​the Divine Sea Secret Realm. It is a special area where you can absorb vast divine power, find countless remnants of divine souls and thoughts, and hear whispers from ancient gods. You must guard your true self and comprehend it well, for the opportunity to become a god is hidden there." The voice of the Supreme God King suddenly appeared in Su Ping's mind.

Su Ping was taken aback and immediately bowed and nodded to the main hall.

At this moment, the one who conferred the gods returned, and he and Su Ping and the others teleported again. When they reappeared, they were greeted by a golden world. Within that golden world, faint dark red figures could be seen, like illusory shadows, floating around.

"Go in. When the time comes, I will pull you out. You just need to focus on your understanding inside. This is a rare opportunity." The one who conferred the god looked at Su Ping and the other ten people. His expression was not too cold. Instead, he revealed a smile.

Although Su Ping and the others are still geniuses who haven't fully matured, their extraordinary talent means they are destined to become gods in the future. Once they become gods, they will be the best among their peers and may even become Heavenly Lords. Therefore, even as those who have been appointed gods, they will not easily put on airs. After all, for them, a thousand years will pass in the blink of an eye, and these little guys will have grown up.

The others seemed to know what the Divine Soul Sea was, and their eyes gleamed.

In the next instant, everyone flew in, racing against time.

Upon entering this place, Su Ping felt as if he were in an ocean of divine power, which was even more concentrated than Joanna's pool of divine power. In addition to the aura of divine power, Su Ping immediately felt an extremely vast, ethereal, and spiritual consciousness, like great roads floating around him. These roads were like ribbons that he could touch.

"road……"

"It turns out there's something even deeper than the Tao."

"Is this the feeling that those who were destined to become gods sought?"

Su Ping felt his consciousness touch something like dust, but within this dust was an endless universe, vast and boundless. He was deeply shocked and suddenly had an epiphany: rules become the Dao, the Dao becomes the world, then what does the world become?

Why seek enlightenment?

"god……"

"Unseen, yet present, omnipresent...that is God!"

Su Ping felt his consciousness become empty, as if undergoing a kind of baptism. His heart also became ethereal and vast at this moment. Many incredible beings he had seen in the nurturing world reappeared in his mind at this moment. The figures of those beings seemed to have something more to them, making them clearer to Su Ping. The feeling they brought was even more shocking and awe-inspiring.

"I'm so lonely..."

"When I die, come here and keep me company."

"Gu Zhantian, what are you going to do charging in alone? Do you want to slaughter the heavens by yourself?!"

Suddenly, a series of "sounds" invaded Su Ping's mind, some were wails, some were weeping, and some were roaring.

In a daze, Su Ping seemed to see a white-clad figure standing in a shattered void, holding a divine sword. Turning back, his eyes were etched into time and space, indelible, and his lips softly uttered, "I'm not slaughtering Xiao Tian, ​​I'm severing the Heavenly Dao, so that those things can never descend!"

"You can't go!!"

"It has to be me!!"

Someone roared, but the white-clad figure became even more unrestrained, exuding an aura of unparalleled power and brilliance.

The shattered void engulfed his figure, and more wails echoed.

"Time is up."

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Su Ping felt his body lighten. Then all the sounds around him disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing outside the golden world, back in the place he had been before.

At this moment, in that golden world, only one figure remained, namely Luo Ying.

Beside Su Ping, the others had already come out. Some had their eyes closed, seemingly still contemplating what they had just gained, while others looked constipated and distressed.

"There are too many mixed thoughts and ideas in there, and the interference is too strong."

"It's hindering my understanding of the Investiture of the Gods, it deserves to die!"

"I've heard that this is a special ninth space, a forbidden land of the gods. Due to certain special reasons, even we can step into it."

Su Ping was taken aback.

The Ninth Space is an extremely deep space.

Su Ping didn't know how many layers the universe had, but with his current combat power, he could only tear through to the fifth space. Once he reached the sixth space, he would encounter extremely terrifying void creatures, most of whom were at the Star Lord level!

Even a Star Lord can face danger in the Sixth Space.

As for the seventh space, Su Ping dared not imagine it.

Unexpectedly, this is the Ninth Space!

With his abilities, let alone tearing it apart, he would die instantly just by standing inside.

"Those scenes I saw before were all remnants of this Ninth Space. They must have happened in ancient times. The person who said he wanted to sever the Heavenly Dao must have been a genius and a peerless hero from an earlier era," Su Ping thought to himself.
