Astral Pet Store Chapter 1061 - Meeting with the Superior Gods

Chapter 1061: Meeting with the Superior Gods

Ji Xueqing’s 25 decelerated-year training plan for Su Ping had been accomplished by him in only three months, which was only slightly more than one day in reality!
She felt the whole thing was surreal, while frustration was added when Su Ping proposed to leave.
However, she could only accept his request.
“This is my number. Call me if you need anything; I will be at the ready during this three-month period. Right, you’re not in our school’s group yet, right? I’ll send you an invite.”
A watch appeared out of nowhere; it was then strapped on Ji Xueqing’s wrist. It had previously been kept in her small world; like any other items, she could summon it at any time.
Su Ping nodded. Reaching out to her would be more convenient if he had her number.
They soon became friends online. Then, Ji Xueqing sent him an invite to a battle alliance.
Su Ping accepted the invite.
The next moment, there was another battle alliance called Supreme Celestial Court on his list!
His previous experience of joining Xingyue Shen’er’s battle alliance, helped him know what it was all about. He found that the leader of the battle alliance—who was apparently his master—was not online.
“Master’s clone is occasionally online; feel free to ask him if you have any questions. As for the others, they are rarely there, but just call out to them if you’re in trouble. Everybody will help you,” said Ji Xueqing as she put away the watch.
Su Ping glanced at the number of members in the battle alliance, finding it was 78. But most of their avatars were dim, indicating that they were offline.
Su Ping also saw Diaz among them.
So, that guy was invited a long time ago. His family must have laid out everything for him.
Diaz’s avatar was also dim too at the moment; he was probably in the middle of his training.
He noticed that Ji Xueqing had put away her watch, so he stopped checking and chose to exit the channel.
“Thank you for your help, senior sister,” said Su Ping.
Ji Xueqing glanced at Su Ping and said, “No need to be so courteous with me. You can return my favor by winning the legacy. Never mind; I can’t tell you everything. If you do win and reach the Celestial State, even I will have to look up to you…”
“You will always be my senior sister, even if I reach the Celestial State,” said Su Ping with a smile.
She felt warm as she saw Su Ping’s sincere smile. Then she nodded and said, “Let’s talk about that later. I’ll bring you out. By the way, both the Blue Planet and the other planet you mentioned have been shipped over.”
“Shipped…”
Su Ping was lost for words; planets were nothing worth mentioning in front of Ascendant experts and the technology of the Federation.
Ji Xueqing didn’t waste any more time, and simply saw Su Ping off.
They returned to Su Ping’s temple, where time flowed at a normal speed. After communicating with her battle pet, Ji Xueqing learned where the planets were relocated, and instantly took Su Ping away.
An hour later—they saw Rhea somewhere outside of the Celestial Court.
As for the Blue Planet, Ji Xueqing found a special spot since the relocation to the Celestial Court was permanent. It wasn’t together with Rhea.
Su Ping had no time to meet with his old friends on the Blue Planet. He went back to Rhea and said goodbye to his senior sister before dashing toward his store.
There were still a lot of customers outside at that time; everyone was discussing what had happened to their planet.
According to the Ryan’s global announcement, Rhea had been transferred to the central area of the Golden Star Zone by an Ascendant State expert.
That was the place where the true gods of the universe lived.
Everybody on the planet was excited because of the news.
The foreigners who had gone to Rhea for traveling purposes were stuck there because of the relocation; the news had left them dumbfounded.
They had simply traveled to the planet, and the planet itself was traveling too…
That was truly an eye-opener for them.
All the customers exclaimed in joy as they noticed that Su Ping had returned.
Some of the bolder customers asked loudly why the planet had been moved. All of them knew Su Ping’s identity; even the Ryans had to bend in front of him. The planet’s relocation was probably done because of him; after all, some Ascendants had gone there and extended invitations to Su Ping earlier on.
Su Ping realized that they didn’t need his soothing, once he saw that all of them were excited, not at all panicked. He didn’t have the time to answer their questions, so he flashed to enter his store.
Both Green Lady and Joanna noticed Su Ping’s rushed entrance. Both were solemn, thinking that something was afoot.
“Let’s put business to rest for today,” Su Ping said to them.
Tang Ruyan—the employee with the most seniority in Su Ping’s store—ran to him and asked, “Did something happen?”
Both Green Lady and Joanna stared at Su Ping and waited for his reply.
“Relax. It’s fine,” Su Ping quickly reassured them, seeing how nervous they were.
Both Green Lady and Joanna felt relieved upon hearing that—and remembering the undetectable, mysterious existence residing in the store. Tang Ruyan calmed down too, and informed the customers of their business closing for the day. Then, she put up the closed sign on the door.
Outside—everybody was surprised and suspicious to see Su Ping close the store right after coming back. They were also concocting the most bizarre speculations because of the recent planet relocation.
The people of the Ryan family received the news, and swiftly showed up at Su Ping’s door.
Su Ping’s store had already closed by then.
“I need to train in seclusion,” Su Ping said to the girls after closing the store.
All of them had been to cultivation sites; Su Ping didn’t have to keep it a secret anymore.
“Why the rush? Did something happen?” asked Green Lady curiously. Su Ping had always seemed lazy, while at the same time he had never been patient and careful unless he was taking care of his customers’ pets. Of course, all those pets would end up weeping because of his “caring.”
“There’s an opportunity to acquire a true god’s legacy.”
Su Ping briefly informed everybody of the gods’ trial.
Everybody was stunned after hearing the news. Tang Ruyan’s eyes widened in shock; then, she showed a troubled expression. She was indeed happy for his sake, while somewhat feeling miserable at the same time.
She had been training hard, trying to catch up to him, which seemed to be a hopeful endeavor thus far. But she was about to be left far behind again.
Unlike Tang Ruyan, Joanna only felt slightly envious after the initial shock, and even that smidge of envy was also gone soon after. She said calmly, “I don’t think you have to fight for that opportunity. You will forever be stuck in the Celestial State if you inherit the legacy.
“I think, considering your privileges, that it would be a loss.”
She knew there was a formidable backer training him; the Celestial State was definitely not their end goal.
It would be an extravagant waste to invest so much effort on someone who would be stuck in the Celestial State!
Furthermore, she had found answers to some of her questions once she visited the Archean Divinity; she was no longer as stuck in the Archean Divinity as before.
Given enough time, she could advance to the Celestial State too, on her own!
She could go even further and higher if she had good opportunities!
“Indeed, it’s not really a good thing,” Green Lady also remarked calmly. She had met a lot of experts when she was with the Twilight Deity King, including Deity Emperors. She had seen even more terrifying monsters in some of the ruins found in the Realm of Deities. So, the opportunity of reaching and forever remaining stuck in the Celestial State wasn’t something to be excited about.
Also, she had another reason.
“There’s a good chance that you may reach the Celestial State if you consume me when your break through to the Ascendant State. I will try my best to help you!”
Green Lady stared at Su Ping and continued, “You’ll be able to continue growing if you do that. You’ll rise even higher with the help of the bigshot backing you. It’s even possible for you to become a Deity Emperor!”
Su Ping nodded after hearing their recommendations. He had indeed considered all those ramifications.
Still, it was a truly rare opportunity. He wouldn’t use it on himself, but he could give it to his pets. He could get a Celestial State pet without wasting too much time or effort.
His master had mentioned that the universe would fall into chaos very soon. Su Ping hoped he could become stronger as soon as possible.
Even though he would be safe inside his store after the universe was destroyed, he couldn’t hide there forever.
He didn’t want the Blue Planet’s crisis to be repeated.
“Hey, you’re asking him to give up the opportunity of reaching the Celestial State?” Tang Ruyan became anxious. She had already learned about the levels known in the Federation. Star State warriors were seen as legends back on the Blue Planet, but they were only reasonably good when considering the whole scope of the Federation.
“Even if you don’t need it, you have to get it. How can you leave the opportunity for someone else to grab?” said Tang Ruyan to persuade him, unwilling to let the chance go to waste.
Su Ping nodded. “That’s right. I’m going to fight for it.”
He looked at Green Lady and said, “I will reach the Ascendant State and the Celestial State on my own! I won’t swallow you! Don’t mention that ever again. You’re my employee; you have to work for me for the rest of your life!”
He put on the wicked smile of an exploitative boss as he spoke.
Green Lady was stunned for a moment, then looked at him thoughtfully, choosing not to argue any longer. She simply said, “Maybe you can do that, but I can shorten the time needed. Let’s talk about it again when you reach the Ascendant State.”
She wanted to persuade Su Ping after he realized how difficult it was for him to take the step from the Ascendant State to the Celestial State on his own.
Su Ping didn’t argue with her, either. After all, it wasn’t like she could just cram herself into his mouth.
Joanna gazed at Su Ping. She knew that—unlike Tang Ruyan who had big boobs but small brains—he was too shrewd to be tempted by short-time returns. It was unlikely that he didn’t know what was best for him.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” asked Joanna.
“Yes.”
Su Ping instantly said, “I’d like to meet the four Superior Gods. I hope you can arrange a meeting. I’m hoping they can enlighten me.”
“Okay.”
Joanna nodded. “I was hoping to introduce them to you anyway. My original self has informed them of the situation in the Archean Divinity; all of them are willing to meet you. They also hope that you can help us return to our real homeland!”
“I’ll try my best, but we don’t have connections in the Archean Divinity. It should be simple if we seek the help of an Ancestral God; someone of that caliber can find the Archean Divinity’s stray fragment and take it to its original place with ease.”
Su Ping knew that it was difficult to accomplish the task that soon; his only hope was to win the favor of someone important in the Heaven Path Institute to later have the chance to talk.
For that, he would have to show an even greater talent.
“I believe you can do that. We’ll keep waiting.” Joanna glanced at him and gave him a rare smile.
Su Ping smiled too, then said to Green Lady and Tang Ruyan. “I’m leaving with Anna. The store is in your hands.”
Green Lady gave him a slight nod, while Tang Ruyan quickly said, “Be careful..”
