Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 980 Joanna's Wish

"this……"

Realizing that the three people in front of them had sneaked in, the Flame Pattern Clan youth hesitated. If they were held accountable later, it would also affect them. However, they had no choice at the moment and could only bite the bullet and say, "The second trial is to accumulate ten divine cards. These divine cards can be hunted from the divine beasts in the trial grounds or obtained from other participants."

"Collecting God Cards?"

Joanna raised an eyebrow slightly, immediately realizing that this divine card was merely an item for performance evaluation. She looked at the four people in front of her and said, "So, you also have divine cards? Let me see."

The young man from the Flame Pattern Clan felt a jolt in his heart, but he had already anticipated this. When he mentioned the divine card, he knew that the other party would set their sights on them. He had no choice but to open his palm and say, "This is the divine card."

A golden card appeared in his palm, glowing faintly.

Joanna took it, glanced at it, and naturally accepted it, saying, "Just one?"

The Flame-Patterned Clan youth smiled wryly and said, "We just arrived to participate in the trial and haven't had a chance to hunt divine beasts or other people yet. We thought this human was alone and wanted to ambush him, but..."

Joanna replied indifferently, "Is that so? I don't believe it."

"..."

"It's true!"

The Flame Pattern Clan youth said with a sincere expression.

"I swear an oath to God," Joanna said.

"..."

The Flame Pattern God Clan youth's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected the other party to be so cunning, requiring a divine oath even for this. Did the other party really think divine oaths were free?

"I can swear an oath to the gods that I will never cause you any trouble in the future, including indirect trouble. I hope you will be merciful and let us leave," the Flame Pattern Clan youth said through gritted teeth.

Joanna said indifferently, "Of course you have to swear an oath about this, but don't change the subject. First, swear that you only have this one God Card."

"...Isn't that necessary?"

"have."

The Flame Pattern Clan youth was defeated. He flipped his hand, took out two divine cards, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't do it on purpose. These are the two divine beasts we hunted with great difficulty. We gave them all to you after going through so much trouble. We're sure to be eliminated."

Joanna wasn't surprised. She took it, glanced at it, and accepted it naturally, saying, "I swear an oath."

"..."

"I swear an oath to God," Joanna repeated.

The Flame Pattern Clan youth looked grim. He exchanged glances with the three people beside him, knowing that they were completely doomed today.

Desperately?

How can you compete with three strange stowaways?

How could the other party sneak into the Heavenly Dao Academy's trial grounds without the help of a powerful figure behind them?

With a gloomy expression, he pulled out sixteen more divine cards and said in a low voice, "This is all we have."

"Make a divine oath."

"..."

The Flame Pattern Clan youth's cheek twitched slightly. He then took out three more bills and, without waiting for Joanna to repeat herself, took the initiative to swear a divine oath.

This divine oath is sworn in the name of the supreme ancestral god of the divine realm, and is understood by the rules of the divine realm. It cannot be violated unless one wishes to die.

After he made the divine oath, Joanna nodded. She then ransacked the other three as well, obtaining a total of twenty-seven divine cards. This showed that the team was quite strong. If they could collect a dozen more cards, they would all be able to advance.

"Now, swear an oath to God that you will never reveal our information and will not be allowed to cause us any trouble in the future," Joanna said.

The four of them, like wilted eggplants, listlessly and slowly made their vow.

As a golden divine power flashed across the heavens and earth, the divine oath was formed. Joanna didn't say anything more, asked the four of them a few more questions, and then let them leave.

Su Ping and Tang Ruyan watched Joanna's expert robbery methods with a speechless expression; they had never seen Joanna so cunning before.

"What's so special about this? When I was conquering, I plundered countless races. It was much easier in the Primordial God Realm. I didn't need to reverse time and space to check. I only needed to make a simple divine oath to identify them," Joanna said calmly, seeing the strange looks in their eyes.

Su Ping asked curiously, "If divine oaths are so strong, then wouldn't it be impossible for the divine realm to lie?"

While lying is wrong, one can imagine how terrible a world without lies would be.

"Making a divine oath comes at a price; it involves sacrificing a part of one's soul. Therefore, unless it's something extremely important, friends don't easily make each other make divine oaths. After all, doing so isn't exactly being a friend. But thankfully, the person we just met wasn't our friend either," Joanna said, as if reciting a tongue twister.

Su Ping nodded and asked, "Are you planning to go to the Heavenly Dao Academy?"

Since Joanna wanted to collect this divine card, she must have had this plan in mind.

"Um."

Joanna nodded and said to Su Ping, "This Heavenly Dao Academy is the number one cultivation holy land in the Primordial God Realm, equivalent to the number one academy. Not only is the dean a God-level master, but the Dao masters who teach various Daos are also God-level masters. Unfortunately, I heard that the entire Heavenly Dao Academy participated in the great war back then, fighting against all the heavens in the Divine Wilderness."

"In the end, the entire Heavenly Dao Academy perished in that battle, and all the heavens ravaged by the Divine Wilderness were suppressed!"

"It was also because of the Heavenly Dao Academy's great achievements that countless people were saved, but unfortunately... in the end, it still couldn't escape that catastrophe!"

Joanna's eyes dimmed as she reminisced about that bygone era and the divine heroes of that time.

Su Ping was also somewhat shaken. To think that a cultivation academy could have such courage made him feel a deep respect for the name "Heavenly Dao Academy".

"The lineage hasn't been broken, but I wonder if the Heavenly Dao Academy still has the glory it once did." Joanna sighed softly and said, "But no matter what, being a student of the Heavenly Dao Academy is a lifelong honor. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Academy has the Ancestral God Stele. If you get the chance, you can directly advance to the Supreme God Realm with the Ancestral God Stele."

Su Ping said, "The Ancestral God Stele only works if you, in your true form, are present, right?"

"That's right, so I plan to use the perks next time to have the real person come in person." Joanna looked at Su Ping and said, "You've given me the Outstanding Employee award twice, you'll bring me next time, right?"

"Of course," Su Ping said with a smile.

"actually……"

Joanna breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Ping agree immediately. Looking into the distance, she said dejectedly, "When I first heard that you had a way to enter the Primordial God Realm, I thought you wanted to find the Primordial God Realm and let our world return to it. After all, that is our homeland."

She suddenly looked at Su Ping and said, "Can you take on a few more employees? I plan to recommend four supreme gods to you. If they know that you can really bring them to the Primordial God Realm, they will definitely be willing to become your employees. In that case, with the four supreme gods and the other gods, we might be able to use the world alliance to send our world back to our homeland."

Su Ping was taken aback for a moment, then immediately laughed and said, "Sure, I have no problem with that. But even if they are supreme gods, they still have to perform exceptionally well to get the chance to be an outstanding employee. And you know, there's only one spot each time, which means the more employees there are, the fiercer the competition for that spot becomes. Are you willing to share this opportunity with someone else?"

A strange look flashed across Joanna's face, but she was already used to the rules in Su Ping's shop. Now it seemed that even the Supreme God was no exception. She said, "As long as we can return our world to its homeland and allow countless gods to return to the Primordial God Realm, everything is fine."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, you select candidates once a year. Even if it's a rotation every year, a hundred years is enough for us to do it many times, let alone a thousand or ten thousand years."

"Alright then," Su Ping nodded.

Although he doesn't currently have a great need for the Supreme God as an employee in his store, he would be happy to accept him if the other party is willing.

It's a pity that these employees can only move around inside the store, and with the system in place, no one can hurt him. He can't rely on these employees for protection at all.

"System, are employees really not allowed to leave the store?"

"Not at the moment," the system replied.

"Temporarily? How can that be?"

"You will know when the time comes."

"..."

Su Ping was speechless. A system, a dignified entity, was playing cryptic games?

"That's a story for later. Since you say the Heavenly Dao Academy is so powerful, I'd like to go and take a look. We only have three divine cards left, and the trial time is running out. Let's hurry up and look for them," Su Ping said to Joanna, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

Joanna nodded.

The three quickly sprang into action, racing through the forest without concealing their presence or whereabouts, flying directly through the air.

Through those four people, they also learned that the strongest divine beast in this trial ground was only at the Star Lord Realm. After all, if a divine beast at the God Sealing Realm appeared and was disturbed by someone, it would probably cause countless participants in the trial to lose their lives.

"Is it possible to break through the barrier of reincarnation just by wanting to?"

Su Ping was somewhat curious about Joanna's breakthrough.

"Pretty much. After all, all the great Daos are in my mind. Realms are barriers for you, but for me, they are shackles that limit me. They allow my reincarnated body to experience more and comprehend the most primordial Dao."

Joanna said, "The purpose of cultivating a reincarnation is to find another path to godhood through reincarnation, so that the two paths can be merged and condensed into an eternal path, thus achieving the highest level."

Su Ping understood and didn't ask any more questions.

Tang Ruyan stayed by their side, listening and learning silently. She knew that she was far behind Su Ping and Joanna, so she needed to put in more effort.

"Everyone here to participate in the trial is at the Star Lord level. If she passes the trial later, won't she seem too out of place?" Joanna suddenly thought of something and glanced at Tang Ruyan next to her.

Tang Ruyan's heart tightened. After hearing Joanna talk about how wonderful the Heavenly Dao Academy was, she also longed to join it and cultivate.

"That's true." Su Ping was also taken aback.

After all, they had smuggled themselves in, and Tang Ruyan, with her mere Sea Realm cultivation, was indeed quite outstanding.

"Let's give it a try first. We'll say it's a team effort. If the Heavenly Dao Academy doesn't count her score, then we'll see. Besides, this is only the second trial. There are more to come. Even if she can't pass, we can teach her what we've learned once we join in," Su Ping said.

Joanna nodded. "That's true. Anyway, once we leave here, she'll be in your shop. Even if we teach her privately, the Heavenly Dao Academy shouldn't notice."

Neither of them was too worried about whether they could join the Heavenly Dao Academy. After all, their strength was there, and they were confident. If they couldn't pass, then the Heavenly Dao Academy's standards would be too frightening.

The fact that the four-person group was able to hunt down so many divine cards is enough to show that they are in the upper-middle class in this trial. After all, these divine cards are not necessarily all obtained by hunting divine beasts. This can be seen from their sneak attack on Su Ping. Attacking other contestants is not a first for them.

Tang Ruyan silently followed beside the two. Su Ping's words made her purse her lips slightly, and a hint of tears rose in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head so that the two would not notice.

She knew she was a burden to the two of them, but Su Ping and Su Ping didn't look down on her at all.

Shortly after the three set out, they encountered a divine beast lurking in the forest. It ambushed the three in mid-air, but the beast quickly became their prey and was easily killed.

Half an hour later, the three of them flew out of the forest. At the end of the forest was a swamp. The swamp was home to many mythical beasts and was quite dangerous, but it was also a good place to hunt for mythical cards.

Su Ping and his two companions did not step into the swamp, but lingered outside. They already had enough divine cards, so there was no need to take any more action.

Next, we just wait for the trial to end.

While waiting, Su Ping didn't sit idle. He summoned Little Skeleton, Er Gou, the White-Scaled Sky Thunder Dragon Beast, and the Purple-Green Python, asking them to accompany Tang Ruyan to find a lone swamp beast so they could practice hunting it.

With Su Ping providing guidance, Tang Ruyan's combat experience improved rapidly with each death in battle, and Su Ping's guidance enabled her to make progress each time.

While they were practicing, they soon encountered a group of eight people. In the middle was a girl with bright red hair, and the seven people around her were also unique in temperament and looked extraordinary.

"Someone this weak is even participating in the trial?"

Seeing Tang Ruyan and several battle pets in the swamp, the group was somewhat surprised. When they sensed Tang Ruyan's cultivation level, they were even more surprised. But soon, they noticed Su Ping and Joanna not far away and immediately realized that the human woman fighting was most likely the servant of that divine girl.

Using servants and battle pets to fight, while daring not to take risks themselves, made the eight people somewhat disdainful.

The crimson-haired girl in the middle glanced at it, then lost interest. She swept her gaze indifferently over the beast and led the seven away without trying to seize it.

Su Ping also noticed the group of people. Seeing that they left directly, he relaxed, saving himself the trouble of taking action.

He wouldn't gain much improvement by fighting these people.

While instructing Tang Ruyan, he was also pondering the previous method, and suddenly unleashed his full power. This technique could be used as a trump card. Combined with the Heavenly Meteor Divine Sword Technique he created, it could unleash power dozens of times greater than his cultivation level!

As time goes by.

The trial ended quickly.

The divine beast was also tormented. It tried to run away several times, but was stopped by Little Skeleton and Er Gou. It had no choice but to fight on.
