Chapter 1319 - War Invasion (2)



Chapter 1319 War Invasion (2)

Resources and bloodline are my own belongings. The cultivation technique counts as the teacher; no matter how smart a student is, they need good teachers to guide them. Su Ping found the Chaos Star Chart increasingly more powerful after Elder Chan explained more about the differences amongst God Emperors.

The Dao Heart State. Alas, the actual cultivation method is not mentioned; there’s only a brief summary. I must comprehend the world and look within myself. But there’s no specific method to follow…

Su Ping shook his head. He couldn’t ask for anyone’s help, as the elders couldn’t teach him how to comprehend it; they could only share with him their own experiences of advancement.

He learned about some of the experts’ advancement experiences through Elder Chan. Besides grasping enough paths, they had to find their own Dao.

The Oceanic Universe of Clouds for instance, was a simulation of observed constellations.

Its main attribute was infinite vastness and smallness.

Once the expert harnessed the power of said universe, he would be able to crush Su Ping’s own—which had yet to attain an attributeinto an infinitely small grain of sand that could be destroyed easily.

That was the difference between a God King and a God Emperor.

Once they condense their own Dao Heart and give attributes to their universes, it becomes easy for them to crush Celestial State universes without attributes. The gap is even larger than the one between the Celestial State and the Star Lord State. Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He thought it was because he hadn’t comprehended enough Dao Glyphs, so he couldn’t accomplish a qualitative change.

Maybe I’ll be able to grasp the Dao Heart when I crack enough Dao Glyphs…

Once he learned about Joanna’s situation, he left her at the counter and told her that professional training would always be available in the store as long as he was there. He needed to save as many energy points as possible to upgrade the store to level 9 and unlock all of the system’s abilities.

Considering the store’s daily revenue, it wouldn’t be long for him to achieve that goal, his estimate being from one to two hundred years at most.

......

That was a mere blink for an Ascendant State expert.

“Has my master and the others visited me lately?” Su Ping asked Green Lady telepathically.

“You master came to see you once, when you were training in seclusion. He’s on this street right now; you can go find him,” replied Green Lady.

He had already sensed that Shen Huang and Chi Huo were on the street. There was another Celestial State aura aside from theirs, which belonged to Xu Kong, their ally from back then.

Su Ping found a few familiar auras at the place where Xu Kong lived, including the one that belonged to Qing Hongyue, who competed with him over Ye Chen’s relics.

“Master, I heard that you were looking for me,” Su Ping said to his master telepathically.

Shen Huang, who seemed concerned while in his room, heard Su Ping’s voice and felt refreshed. He said quickly, “Your training is complete? I’ll head over to your place.”

“Is it about the crack in the universe?” asked Su Ping.

Shen Huang nodded. “Yes. The drones and explorers we deployed were stationed outside the Mayhem Star Zone; however, only some remain to monitor the situation. That place is already an ocean of blood; all the criminals who failed to escape in time are dead.”

Su Ping slightly changed his expression and felt a heavy heart. “Because of the things beyond the crack in the universe?”.

“That’s right. The crack is even wider than before. Countless worms are coming out to invade our side. Some creatures that cannot be detected seem to be mixed amongst them; they must be the aliens living beyond the crack,” said Shen Huang solemnly, “We too found the ancient corpse, but all mangled and torn apart. Only some parts remain!

“Our computers ran simulations to recreate the scenes that caused the corpse to end up like that, finding that the ancient corpse went through a terrifying battle until it was torn apart by the aliens. The remaining pieces are still outside of the universe’s crack.”

Su Ping felt dazed. The ancient corpse was a God Emperor back when it was alive. Its body had withstood the passage of countless years, and yet, it was torn to pieces?

It was clear that the owner of that mysterious hand coming from a place beyond the universe’s crack had to be another God Emperor.

If they did invade, they might be anywhere in their universe at the moment.

Considering the power of a God Emperor, it was very easy for them to cross galaxies.

“Then, what about the situation outside…?” Su Ping’s heart was heavy.

Shen Huang said, “The worms that invaded from outside the universe are infecting all twelve star zones, starting from the Mayhem Star Zone, including the barren areas. The sages of the Planet of Origin have already sent out an announcement, hoping to gather the power of humankind to resist the worms. But no one has truly welcomed their request.”

Su Ping was in a momentary stupor, then his eyes turned cold as he remembered the Saint King he killed.

“The Planet of Origin’s intervention in the Mayhem Star Zone is too disappointing. Right now the Celestials of every star zone are defending their respective territories on their own to fend off the worms.” Shen Huang sighed.

If the Mayhem Star Zone event hadn’t taken place, the announcement from the Planet of Origin could have gathered the willing power of the twelve star zones, significantly reducing casualties.

However, they had lost their old authority; the Interstellar Federation was already gone. To handle the crisis, the twelve Celestials only cared about the trouble in their own jurisdictions.

It would be manageable if the scale of the worms wasn’t too big. But a lot of people would die if it was too much for a star zone to handle.

“What’s the situation with the worms?” asked Su Ping, who had thought of that too.

Shen Huang sighed, “We can still deal with their current numbers. However, according to the drone feeds, more and more worms are flooding in. Chi Huo and I think that we should make alliances with neutral Celestials. We have to rely on ourselves if the Planet of Origin is no longer trustworthy.”

Su Ping nodded. “That works. We must shed all prejudice in times of war.”

Shen Huang said with a bitter smile, “Even a three-year-old knows that. Unfortunately, some of the Celestials are too dumb to think this through!”

“I can go to the battlefield too if I’m needed,” said Su Ping.

Shen Huang quickly dissuaded, “You must not! There’s an unpredictable and well-hidden power moving with the worm tide; I suspect that they have other purposes. We’d be able to manage. Don’t leave the store easily. Given your cultivation speed, you might be able to create a new situation for humankind a few thousand years later. Even if we’re pummeled after dealing with the worms, we’ll be able to recover in time with your help.”

Su Ping was slightly stunned, not expecting his master to place so much hope on him.

Furthermore, it meant that his master was not optimistic about the situation. He was planning to fight a protracted war for thousands of years.

After a moment of silence, Su Ping said, “Master, you can ask the Ascendant cultivators from our star zone to train pets in my store. I can help them strengthen their pets; that’ll be the least I can do.”

“I’ve heard a lot about your pet training expertise, but they all consider their pets as ultimate treasures. Although they think you’re strong and talented, not many of them trust your training. I’ll talk to them and see if I can convince them to come,” said Shen Huang

Su Ping nodded.

“Whatever happens, you must not leave the store’s protection. You are our last hope,” said Shen Huang solemnly.

After taking a deep breath, Su Ping said, “I’ll try to improve as fast as possible.”

The shortage of time became increasingly clear to him. He learned a bit more about the situation outside and then their conversation ended.

Su Ping approached the counter, as he was about to ask Joanna to hand over the pets ready for professional training. He was going to the cultivation sites again.

Exactly at that moment-exclamations burst out from the crowd outside the store. There was a riot.
