Chapter 992: Luofu
At the Pixie Pet Store in Woffett City, planet Rhea.
Three people emerged from a glittering, turning sphere. They were none other than the visitors who had returned from the Archean Divinity.
Both Joanna and Tang Ruyan were astonished to see what was around them. They knew that they had been teleported straight to the Archean Divinity from the store, but it was still even more surprising to be teleported back to the same spot. Two different worlds seemed to be somehow connected to Su Ping’s store.
If the horrifying being backing Su Ping could lend a hand, my wish could easily be fulfilled, right? Joanna thought and felt even more awe for that mysterious entity. She thought it was likely an Ancestral God; a really strong one at that.
Such beings were already beyond her imagination; their abilities were mind boggling.
“You’re back,” said Green Lady in a pleasant yet casual voice. She looked at them, with increasing surprise in her eyes. Tang Ruyan had the most obvious change: she had leaped from the Ocean State to the Fate State in a single day!
Both Su Ping and Joanna had changes too. Green Lady detected that Su Ping’s energy was now mixed and strange.
“Stay in the store; I’ll take Green Lady to the Realm of Deities. You can reflect on what you’ve acquired from the journey while we’re away,” said Su Ping, mainly to Tang Ruyan.
Tang Ruyan nodded. She too wanted to cultivate in seclusion.
Joanna glanced at Su Ping and said, “I would like to ask my original self to take my place next time you go to the Realm of Gods.”
“Huh?” Slightly surprised, Su Ping asked, “Didn’t you say your original self can’t leave the Demigod Burial?”
“That was in the past. Right now, I should be able to convince the four Superior Gods to take care of my problems in my stead. If that happens, my original self will be freed and she can help in your store,” said Joanna.
Su Ping was enlightened, but he didn’t really care. Since they couldn’t leave the store, it made no difference to him whether she was there as her original self or as a reincarnation. He said, “I think it’s enough for your reincarnation to stay here. The job at the store is very easy anyway.”
Joanna glanced at Green Lady and shook his head. “I prefer to have my original self come here. Some of the customers you receive these days must be God Warriors. My original self will be able to take action and discipline any of the bad-tempered ones.”
While looking her in the eye, Su Ping realized she had benefited greatly from their trip to the Archean Divinity, and her eagerness to be named Outstanding Employee had grown.
That was fantastic. Active employees could always help businesses flourish.
“Okay.” Su Ping didn’t decline her. He turned his head and said to Green Lady, “Are you ready?”
“Can we really go there?” Green Lady looked at Joanna, with a lingering bit of suspicion on her face. She had been through that turbulent age with the Twilight Deity King. She had fallen asleep while sealed in the temple, back when the Deity King had used his body to block the cosmic hole. She didn’t know what had happened to the Realm of Deities where she lived, she guessed its ending from the passing of her master.
“Believe in me,” said Su Ping with a smile and a warm voice.
Then, he brought up the system’s cultivation panel, and saw countless planes displayed. Su Ping simply searched for the Realm of Deities.
But soon, a long row of planes with the term “Realm of Deities” in their names had popped up in the results.
The Original Realm of Deities?
The Nine Suns Realm of Deities?
The Green Emperor Realm of Deities?
Su Ping was stunned by all those names. Were there many Realms of Deities?
He read the introductions to every cultivation plane carefully, soon realizing that there was more than one such realm; thankfully the number wasn’t too large. Every Deity Realm was named after the Deity Emperor who had mastered it, or the ancient calendar. However, the Realms of Deities named after calendars had a very long history.
How many years have these realms existed?
Su Ping felt that a vast and splendid river of time—where countless great heroes, epic events, and horrible things were buried—was passing right before his eyes.
After heaving a sigh, Su Ping turned and looked at Green Lady. He asked, “Which Deity Realm do you want to go to? The Original Realm of Deities? Or the Nine Suns Realm of Deities?”
“You know the Original Realm of Deities?” Green Lady was dazed by the answer. That was an ancient realm that had already fallen apart, eventually sinking in the river of time. Not many knew of that place, even back in the Realm of Deities where she lived. She wouldn’t have known about it if she hadn’t traveled the world with the Twilight Deity King.
“The Twilight Deity King was born in the Luofu Realm of Deities.” Green Lady’s eyes glittered. She finally started to think that Su Ping could truly have a way to take her to the place she wanted to go to.
“Luofu…”
Su Ping immediately searched for it in the list. “Found it. That place does exist. It’s an advanced cultivation site, but not as expensive as the Archean Divinity. There must a Deity Emperor supervising it.”
Green Lady was at a loss, not understanding what Su Ping had said, except for the last part. She nodded and said, “The master of the Luofu Realm of Deities is Luofu the Great.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Su Ping was really looking forward to the trip. The ticket fee for the Luofu Realm of Deities was five thousand energy points, which was half the cost for the Archean Divinity. According to Green Lady’s introduction, Deity Kings were on par with Celestials, while Deity Emperors were above Deity Kings.
There were no beings with cultivation beyond the Celestial State in the Federation at the moment; at least not to Su Ping’s knowledge.
Looks like the Federation can also be listed as one of the advanced cultivation sites, but it’s probably at the bottom of the list… Su Ping thought.
There were no entities above the Celestial level in the Federation, making it seem that the Celestial State was the end to all cultivation. However, even some Deity Emperors were stronger than others in different worlds. Ancestral Gods were also above Deity Emperors in the Archean Divinity. Therefore, there were actually two levels above the Celestial State!
Ascendants can kill Star State warriors as easily as killing chickens. Ancestral Gods of the Archean Divinity would have it easy to dominate the entire universe if they went to the Federation, Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He suddenly thought of something and asked the system curiously, “Why is the Federation not one of the listed cultivation sites?”
The system didn’t respond after a long time passed.
Su Ping was really surprised, wondering if it had fallen asleep.
But then again. Did the system need any sleep, at all?
Su Ping waited for another moment, but there was still no reply. He called out again, hearing nothing but silence. He could not help but curse in his heart.
“First warning for disparaging the system!” a notification echoed.
Su Ping: “&…”
“Second warning!”
Su Ping immediately paused all his psychological activities. He asked the same question again. It wasn’t until a few seconds later that the system finally said, “This is your birthplace. If you enter this world like a cultivation plane and resurrect anywhere, it would disrupt the order of the world where you live, drawing attention from things you don’t want to mess with. It wouldn’t be a big thing for you, though.”
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, not expecting such a reason. He shook his head and stopped thinking about that. He was ready to take Green Lady to the place.
His store would already be upgraded when they returned.
After all, three days in the outside world equaled one month inside the cultivation site.
