Chapter 832 - News of the Blue Planet
Astral Pet Store
âYou can go to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead?â
Green Ladyâs eyes widened. She asked, âDo you know the way to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead? How is it possible? Itâs already lost, and the way to get there has also been. Youâre too weak to go there...â
Suddenly, she stopped, and her body shivered. There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
She would have laughed at Su Ping if she hadnât seen Joanna or that shop which blocked her detection. However, she found that Su Ping was rather enigmatic at the moment.
Maybe, could this young man indeed have a solution?
Maybe, something in the world had changed while I was asleep.
Maybe the formerly inaccessible realm has returned to the universe!
She became nervous again upon thinking that.
Joanna couldnât help but observe Green Lady after hearing Su Pingâs proposal.
Sheâs not Su Pingâs supporter?
Did he really trick her into coming with him?
The Chaotic Realm of the Undead... Isnât it a world like the Archean Divinity? How could its path be cut off? What kind of being could have done that?
That was the ultimate destiny of all the creatures in the universe!
However, Green Lady didnât seem to be lying.
Joanna felt puzzled about it. At least, she had never heard of that during her years of fighting in the Demigod Burial.
Is it because of the war that took place in the Archean Divinity earlier?
She thought of many things and fell silent.
Tang Ruyan, however, was absolutely confused. She vaguely realized that they were talking about something incredible, but she couldnât make heads or tails about it.
Am I so weak that I canât even understand what they were talking about?
Tang Ruyan glanced at Su Ping in frustration.
âI have my own method, donât worry about that. Thereâs no need for me to trick you,â said Su Ping sincerely.
Green Lady looked at his brilliant smile in a trance. If he does have a method, doesnât this mean that Iâm only one step away from reviving the Twilight Deity King?
âCan we go there now?â asked Green Lady quickly.
Su Ping shook his head and said, âNot now. You must be an employee of this store first and then work hard to be acknowledged as an Outstanding Employee. Then youâll have the privilege of going there.â
âWhatâs all that about? I can give you all the pills from the divine residence! Take me there now!â said Green Lady quickly.
Given the importance of the matter, she was not interested in listening to any employee blabber, at all.
Is he kidding?
Why canât I go there without being an employee, and an Outstanding Employee, no less?
Joanna, however, looked weird. Is he pulling the same trick again? Well, she was quite familiar with that. Is he serious, or just blatantly lying?
Is it a trick, just like how he promised to take me to the Archean Divinity?
She became somewhat suspicious. However, remembering Su Pingâs performances in the Demigod Burialâespecially his ability of infinite resurrectionsâshe realized that it was something that even the Superior Gods werenât capable of. Whoever was backing him had to be an unimaginable being, and there was no need for him to trick her like that, was there?
âIt has nothing to do with the divine pills. This is just the standard procedure. Only by distinguishing yourself as my employee will I be able to take you there. I canât explain the reason to you. Anyways, thatâs the rule!â
Su Ping spoke in a tough tone and added, âSenior, youâve waited countless years, you can afford waiting a while longer, right? If you work hard, youâll probably become an Outstanding Employee in a couple of months.â
Green Lady was dead serious at the moment.
She could afford the long wait when she didnât have a direction, but every second became torture after a glimpse of hope.
âCan I just give you all the divine pills for a chance to go there?â
âNo.â
â...â
Green Lady was lost for words. The divine pills were so tempting that even Golden Deities would have gone crazy about them, yet Su Ping simply ignored them. Do the pills not even amount to one employee?
âFine, I accept.â Green Lady gritted her teeth and compromised.
She vaguely realized that there seemed to be some kind of plot in this.
For instance, becoming an employee might be a trap.
Otherwise, Su Ping wouldnât have been so persistent.
âGreat.â Su Ping was a lot more relieved to see that she had been persuaded. This pill deity would have to stay inside the store if she worked as his employee, and he could count on her Ascendant State help.
However, her condition was special. If anyone recognized her while she was outside, all the Ascendant State experts in the Federation would probably chase after her.
Even though Su Ping could keep her safe in the store, he wouldnât want all of them to be holed up in the store until he reached the Ascendant State.
That would take too long.
He might consider this if he only had to reach the Star State.
After all, it was a piece of cake for him to break through. He could take that step immediately if he wanted to.
âSystem, draw an employee contract for me.â
âOkay,â replied the system quickly in a perky tone.
It became increasingly clear to Su Ping that the system was not a machine but a living creature, and a very cunning one...
âHumph!â a snort echoed.
Undoubtedly, it came from the system.
It was peeping into his mind as it had always been.
Very soon, an employee contract appeared in Su Pingâs storage. He took it out and read it; it was identical to the slave contract... no, employee contract that Joanna had signed.
âOkay, sign here with your soul aura,â said Su Ping.
Green Lady narrowed her eyes; she detected a subtle, intangible power that was beyond her understanding on the piece of paper.
She became even more surprised; she had traveled a lot of worlds with the Twilight Deity King in the past, but she had never seen anything like that.
âFor sure, youâll truly take me to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead?â
âCertainly. The girl next to you is working for me because she wants to go to the Archean Divinity. Sheâs already an Outstanding Employee, but Iâve been too busy recently. Iâll take her there when I have the time,â Su Ping nodded at her.
Briefly stunned, Green Lady glanced at Joanna and then asked Su Ping, âYou have access to the Archean Divinity too? Hasnât the path there been cut off too?â
âOh, is that so? Iâm not sure, but I can go there either way,â Su Ping shrugged and said.
Joanna gazed at Su Ping but kept silent.
Green Lady glanced at Su Ping and was silent for a moment. Then, she released her soul aura and signed the contract.
Her heart died when she saw the Twilight Deity Kingâs body shatter. If Su Ping hadnât said that the invaders would capture and eat her, she would have attacked them without caring about her own life.
She held back simply because she didnât want the guys who ruined his seniorâs body to benefit.
âOkay,â said Green Lady.
Even if the contract was a trap, she was fine with it. She had originally planned to help Su Ping become a king and let him search for the Chaotic Realm of the Undead anyway.
âHuh?â
A golden light flashed on the contract and then disappeared. Green Lady then sensed that there was something additional in her head. Soon after, she heard an old and awe-inspiring voice.
It was more like some sort of will rather than a voice!
The will was inviolable and untraceable. Even though she had seen many dignitaries along with the Twilight Deity King, she felt frightened in front of that ancient will.
She had the feeling that the will could destroy her soul completely!
What kind of being is that?
Very soon, the will informed her of some rules.
Those were rules that an employee should follow.
In addition, there were also the duties that an employee should carry out.
She was shocked for a long time after accepting the will. There was astonishment in her eyes when she regained control of herself and looked at the young man.
Is that being his backer?
Green Lady was no longer as suspicious. She had felt that the ancient willâs presence was even more horrifying and unimaginable than that of Deity Kings!
Is it an ancient Deity Emperor?
Deity Emperors were masters of the deity realms and equal to the âHeavens.â
Su Ping then saw the new employee in the store menu too.
All her detailed information had been listed, including her skills, cultivation, and the usages of her body...
Well, that was all the systemâs work. Su Ping had nothing to do with it.
Sheâs a divine pill that contains the Air of Chaos! Su Ping was rather amazed. He didnât know that she had been made with the chaotic energy when the universe came into being. No wonder she could help with advancements!
âStarting from today, youâll be an employee in this shop. Iâm the boss here, and I would like to thank you for your help in advance,â said Su Ping courteously.
Green Lady had saved him multiple times. Although she had become his employee, he still respected her.
She replied with complicated feelings, âGot it. If I become an Outstanding Employee... you wonât go back on your word, would you?â
âOf course not. Youâll be free to go anywhere, as stipulated on the contract. You can even go to the Archean Divinity if you want to,â said Su Ping solemnly.
Green Lady nodded and put on a smile, which almost brightened the entire shop as if snow were thawing in spring. âIâll do my best.â
âYes.â
At this moment, Su Ping was again worrying about the catastrophe in the divine residence. Although he was safe in his store, there were countless innocent people on Rhea who had nowhere to go.
Also, besides Rhea, the entire Zeruprun solar system had a huge population too.
âMiaâs family rules over Zeruprun; I should inform them.â Su Ping remembered Mia, who had been to his store several times; she had told him her family name. Su Ping looked them up via the Lord Badge and found that her family had reigned in that planetary system for ten thousand years!
The leader of her family had lived even longer.
The last Lord of Zeruprun had been ousted due to a violation of federal law, and the Laiyefa family replaced them.
Beep...
âHuh? Boss Su?â
The call soon went through, and Miaâs surprised and delighted voice was heard, accompanied by another female voice. âMia, who is it? You seem so happy. Is it your boyfriend?â
âAh, no...â Mia was speaking to the girl on the other side of the phone in a shy tone.
Su Ping could already imagine her reddened face. He couldnât help but cough and say, âItâs me. Thereâs something important I need to tell you.â
Mia became calm again and then asked Su Ping, âWhat is it, Boss Su?â
Su Ping said solemnly, âYou know about the recently-opened divine residence, right? Something happened there; I just ran back to my store. Thereâs a terrifying thing inside the divine residence. I donât know if it can escape, but it probably will. Youâd better ask your family to investigate the matter and take countermeasures accordingly.â
âHuh?â
Mia didnât expect Su Ping to talk about the divine residence. She thought he would talk about pets. After a moment of shock, she asked, âBoss Su, are you serious? But didnât three Ascendant State experts enter it already? Even if thereâs something in there, they should be able to suppress it, right?â
Su Ping was at a loss for words. Those three guys were exactly the cause of this disaster. What could they suppress?
âProbably not. Iâm not sure of the details. Youâd better ask your family to investigate as soon as possible,â said Su Ping solemnly. He didnât mention the Heavenly Pitâs level of danger, as this would expose how far he had explored in the divine residence.
Besides, even if he said how dangerous it was, she might not believe him; after all, he only impressed her as someone with a Star State cultivation.
The family backing her was led by a Star Lord and had countless Star State members; they wouldnât be intimidated by a Star State alarmist, and would only send investigators to check on the matter.
With that in mind, Su Ping didnât confess everything he knew; those people would find out everything once they went there.
âWell...â Mia hesitated. Her position in her family wasnât important. There were plenty of members in the Laiyefa family, and more than a million of them were considered elites. She was strong, but she wasnât qualified to ask for attention from her family.
Also, should the alarm be false, it would bring great trouble to her and her parents, who might be lambasted by the other branches of the family.
âMia, did you just say Ascendant State? Whatâs going on?â
âSister Offit, the thing is...â Mia quickly informed her of the situation.
âSeriously?â
âYes, thatâs what Boss Su said. Heâs a grandmaster trainer; I donât think heâs lying.â
âA grandmaster trainer... Okay, Iâll contact my father and ask him to look into it.â
âThank you, Sister Offit.â
âDonât thank me. If the alarm is true, weâll be in great danger...â
The two girls talked on the other side of the phone. Then, Mia suddenly realized that Su Ping was still waiting, so she quickly apologized. Su Ping didnât feel bothered; he had nothing else to worry about since the matter had been reported.
Once he hung up the phone, Su Ping thought for a moment and entered the alliance via the Lord Badge.
However, the meeting room was absolutely empty.
...Were they all eliminated?
Su Pingâs lips twitched. The Tree of Laws was still in the hands of their leader. It was true that women were obstacles in menâs growth...
Su Ping exited the badgeâs virtual network; he heaved a sigh and suddenly remembered OâNeil. The guy was in her small world and had probably died too. If so, wouldnât Rhea be unowned at the moment?
Then, wouldnât he be able to pick the Transcendence Fruits free whenever he wanted?
Su Ping could exploit the Ryan family in any way he wanted if OâNeil was out of the picture.
He had also grown much stronger that he could defeat OâNeil and rob him silly if he ever returned.
However, being a civilized man, he preferred not to rob, unless he didnât have a choice...
âHow is the pet contest going? Have we reached the finals yet?â Su Ping asked Tang Ruyan.
Tang Ruyan woke up from her absentmindedness. Seeing the care in Su Pingâs eyes, she felt warm and nodded. âAlmost. Youâve been away for a week. The finals will be held soon.â
âA week?â Su Ping was stunned, as he thought he had returned in only half a day.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Did the time flow at a different speed?
Su Ping realized that a day in one place might mean a week in another.
âAll right, you can go and receive the customers.â
Without giving much detail, Su Ping said to Tang Ruyan, âSenior Green Lady is new here. Teach her if she doesnât know how things are done.â
âOkay.â Tang Ruyan nodded obediently.
Su Ping was quite unaccustomed to her obedience. He found it weird that she wasnât arguing with him.
He currently had three employees, two were official, plus a temporary one. So, he could finally retire. He sat on the couch and checked the updates of the alliance on the Lord Badge.
A piece of news was pushed to him right at that moment.
âHuh?â
Su Ping shivered and sat straight when he saw the title.
Who Will Claim the Mysterious Tree on the Blue Planet, Human Beingsâ Ancestral Home?
Su Ping clicked the title and instantly saw paragraphs and pictures.
The Blue Planet in the news was exactly his hometown!
