Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 990 The Dead

Joanna was somewhat bewildered after being asked to leave the temple.

This was different from what she had imagined. The Heavenly Dao Academy, which she considered sacred and inviolable, seemed somewhat dimmed. She had thought that, given the Heavenly Dao Academy's style, they would readily lend a helping hand in such a matter, but the reality was quite different.

Why?

"Are we just going to be abandoned like this?"

Joanna muttered to herself, her spirits low. She returned to her meditation hall, then rallied her spirits, thinking, "Since they won't help, we'll have to rely on ourselves!"

Having fought for half her life, her will never give up.

"If I could become a supreme god, or even a higher realm, I could definitely do it!"

"If all else fails, we can have the four supreme gods come to his shop and divide the world into five parts. Each of us can carry some and slowly transport them over."

Thinking of these things, hope rekindled in Joanna's eyes.

The selection of outstanding employees in Su Ping's store is held once a year. She estimates that even if she gets 300 opportunities in a thousand years and comes to this ancient divine realm 300 times, it would be more than enough to bring her hometown back.

A thousand years is not a long time for her.

……

Meanwhile, in the temple that Joanna visited.

As Joanna left, an old man sat in the temple. His body seemed to be in a phantom state, appearing to be sitting in the temple, yet also seemingly just a projection. Any attacks on him from the surface level would be automatically ignored.

At this moment, the old man looked respectfully towards a void within the hall.

There, a vast will gradually faded away, leaving no trace.

"A dead person? What does the Ancestral God mean? This woman actually managed to alarm the Ancestral God. I wonder what her background is. The Yuan Ji clan, although now in decline, I remember that their clan was doing quite well..."

The old man looked on with awe, but inwardly he murmured to himself, filled with shock and doubt.

Just now, an ancestral god suddenly sent a message to him, informing him of the woman's identity. She was a dead person, and the absurd things she mentioned, such as the bloody battle between the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Divine Wilderness, were said by the ancestral god to be something that would happen in the near future. It is not difficult for an ancestral god to see into the past and future and predict what will happen in the future, but how did this woman know this?

Moreover, this matter is rather horrifying.

"Our Heavenly Dao Academy, which fights against the heavens and defends the Dao, is it that in the end we must fight a bloody battle with all the heavens and perish together?" The old man was somewhat bewildered. This news was too terrifying, but he dared not reveal it. He suspected that even the ancestral gods would sense it if he had the slightest intention to reveal it. After all, if he really revealed it, it would mean that the matter had already spread in the future.

The ancestral god, who peers into the future and traces the origin, can give him warnings in the present.

"If that day ever comes... what does it matter if I sacrifice myself for my cause?" The old man's eyes flickered for a long time before he finally sighed and his gaze gradually sharpened. He felt that he should prepare in advance. The ancestral god had not informed him of this matter, which meant that he did not want the news to spread. He did not need to reveal it, but he could prepare in advance himself.

"For someone who was said to be dead by the ancestral god to bring such news, the divine realm may truly be in turmoil."

……

Black Rock Cliff.

Su Ping was immersed in the Daoist thoughts on the black stone. These Daoist thoughts were like the most basic collection of rules, completely presented before Su Ping, making him completely absorbed.

His rules of the Flame Path, from the initial stage to a further step, have a subtle flavor of 'tracing back to the source'.

In addition, many other rules are also rapidly improving through mutual verification.

As many rules improved, Su Ping's small world was also rapidly strengthening silently. While observing each rule, Su Ping vaguely understood why so many people came to the Black Stone Tablet to comprehend and try to find traces of the Dao Source. When continuously observing these most primitive rules, one would indeed have a certain illusion.

That illusion seemed to be that one could vaguely grasp something and find the root of these many rules.

"If I can really catch it, then it should be the source of the Dao," Su Ping thought to himself.

Unfortunately, he is still a bit far from that point. Although he has a feeling, it is just a feeling in his heart and he has not really grasped it. After all, he has not even fully comprehended the four supreme rules yet.

Time flies.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Ping left Black Rock Cliff. Although he still had contribution points, he didn't stay any longer, as the time for his return was approaching.

In these three days, in addition to deepening his understanding of many rules, he also accumulated a great deal of power. The divine power on Black Rock Cliff was abundant. The energy here was the original energy of the Primordial God Realm, containing more energy characteristics than star power. In addition to divine power, there were various other powers, all of which could be converted into star power.

The stellar energy within Su Ping's body reached further saturation, continuously pushing forward at its limit.

Back at the palace, Su Ping was greeted by the child prodigy serving outside the hall. The child explained that the Heavenly Dao Academy had distributed cultivation elixirs once every ten years, and the child prodigy had collected them on Su Ping's behalf.

"A miracle drug?"

Su Ping opened the medicine box, inside which was a jade-colored divine pill the size of a ring. As soon as the box was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, and Su Ping felt his muscles and bones relax. Needless to say, he knew that this must be an extremely rare divine medicine.

Su Ping inquired about the method of administration and, upon learning that it was the simplest and most direct oral administration, didn't linger and swallowed it directly.

As the divine medicine entered his throat, a surge of scorching divine power immediately burst forth. In addition to the divine power, it also contained various other powerful energies. Su Ping also sensed the familiar power of dragons and phoenixes, as if it had been refined using the blood of dragons and phoenixes.

These mixed energies surged into Su Ping's body, seemingly with a mind of their own, sweeping through his body and flowing into the Star Sea, causing the Star Sea to boil instantly.

The star power that had already been tempered and purified within the star sea was further concentrated by the influx of these energies. Su Ping observed carefully and discovered that it was not that his previous purification was inadequate, but rather that the star power was changing its form. To be precise, the star power within his body was no longer simply star power.

It has spoiled.

It has become a new type of energy that is higher than stellar power but slightly lower than divine power.

Su Ping immediately observed the transformation of the star power within his body. In this way, the star power he absorbed in the future could be purified and transformed into corresponding energy.

Su Ping could sense that this energy was stronger than star power, and at least five times more powerful than star power in the same amount!

"Among the energies of heaven and earth, the primordial chaos energy is the rarest. However, with the birth of all the heavens, the original primordial chaos energy has long been exhausted. Even if it exists, it is nowhere to be found. Even the ancestral gods probably care a lot about the primordial chaos energy, so it is not up to anyone else."

"Besides the primordial chaos, divine power reigns supreme."

"But divine power is tens of millions of times different from chaotic energy. Below divine power is immortal energy. Fairy Bi once talked to me about this. Furthermore, energy is even rarer. In the current Federation universe, people generally cultivate with star power. Star power is also the energy born in planets. It is more widespread and plentiful."

"If I could convert all the star power in my body into divine power, even if I wasn't a god, my combat strength would still increase tenfold," Su Ping thought to himself.

Unfortunately, although he had divine power stored in his body, he did not know how to convert star power into divine power. At this moment, this divine medicine was transforming the energy in Su Ping's body, which allowed Su Ping to see the structural mysteries of energy.

But divine power is the core secret of the gods, and there shouldn't be any divine medicine to help him convert it. Even if there were, it would be an extremely rare and top-tier item, and wouldn't be given to an ordinary student like him.

Feeling the transformation within his body, Su Ping was somewhat moved. Just the transformation from a single divine medicine would directly increase the energy intensity within his body fivefold!

However, this was only the first time it was effective.

It's estimated that the Heavenly Dao Academy didn't expect that the cultivation medicine they refined for their students would bring about such an amazing change in Su Ping. After all, the creatures in the Primordial God Realm don't possess divine power, but rather the innate energy of some powerful races. For example, the power absorbed by dragon beasts will gradually transform into pure dragon power within their bodies, containing their own racial attributes.

"The modification is almost complete. Perhaps I can try to condense the sixth star map, the pendulum star map!" Su Ping thought to himself.

The pendulum star chart brings time characteristics. If one masters the star chart, he will completely synchronize the two major rules of space and time, and his combat power will be greatly enhanced once again.

Without hesitation, Su Ping immediately began condensing the star map.

A continuous stream of energy condensed within him, and stars were formed from pure energy and flesh, while time quietly passed.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ping heard the system's call to action, signaling the end of their cultivation journey to the Primordial God Realm.

Su Ping opened his eyes, feeling somewhat regretful, but he was quite satisfied with the changes within his body. Although he hadn't been able to resurrect and explore the Primordial God Realm time and time again, being able to join the Heavenly Dao Academy and achieve such improvement was still very rare.

After all, countless resurrections might allow one to see many aspects of the ancient god realm, but encountering powerful opponents and being repeatedly killed might not yield much benefit; at most, it might broaden one's knowledge.
