Chapter 1361 Personality Fashioning (2)

Shen Huang saw Kayafollet at the door, only to discover that she looked completely different from her past self; there was less of the Saint Heir’s arrogance in her eyes, and more of a casual and indifferent poise. She constantly wore a fake smile, which seemed to hide coldness and cruelty underneath.

The Saint Heir seems to have turned into a different person. Shen Huang’s observation was keen. He didn’t know how Su Ping had done it, but taming the Saint Heir in such a short amount of time was terrifying.

He talked to the Saint Heir for a while, and found that she was indeed vastly different from before.

Inside the shop.

Su Ping talked to Joanna for a while, and then left for the Demigod Burial with the pets that required professional training.

His main purpose for the trip was to give the four Superior Gods a reply. He also had other thoughts in mind.

He then teleported to the Demigod Burial and went to a forbidden place first, which was extremely dangerous, home to many ferocious Ascendant beasts. All the Celestial State beasts that used to live there had already been cleared by him and the Superior Gods.

The place had become much less threatening, but it was still a dangerous place in the eyes of adventurers.

Su Ping summoned the Lightning Rat too, and had it train and fight along with the Inferno Dragon and the others.

The Lightning Rat had not entered Su Ping’s cultivation sites ever since Su Yanying died. It was far weaker than the Dark Dragon Hound and the rest, but it was still very strong at its level.

Having trained a few times in the Golden Crow world and the Archean Divinity, the little fellow was attaining the combat ability of a Star Lord.

Su Ping imparted the Great Dao he had comprehended through their bond, helping the little one to quickly improve. By then it had condensed five small worlds.

While seated on the mountaintop, Su Ping watched the Inferno Dragon and the Lightning Rat fight in forests and swamps, turning that forbidden place upside down.

With a few timid pets from his customers, they chased after the ferocious Ascendant beasts. He would immediately resurrect them whenever they got accidentally killed.

.....

A middle-rank cultivation site like the Demigod Burial was no longer a challenge for Su Ping at the moment. Even if the strongest forces here were gathered, he could finish them off with ease.

How I miss the first time I went to the Thunder Cloud Realm.

Su Ping ate snacks with his back against a rock, watching the Lightning Rat fight fiercely against an Ascendant beast. His feelings were somewhat at odds.

Back then, he was forced to stimulate the Lightning Rat with a secret technique, all to spur its fighting will. However, it now acted like a dog on the loose, attacking any beast in sight, regardless of level. It didn’t seem to know the meaning of death.

Time flew. The Lightning Rat—which used to be a cowardly creature that needed to be forced to fight-had been turned into a crazy beast after the death of its two previous masters.

Su Ping watched in silence.

He lowered his eyes, and almost saw that short and bare figure floating in the woods.

Little Skeleton…

Su Ping unconsciously raised a hand, hoping to touch those bare bones, but his hand stopped moving halfway.

Several days later

They left that dangerous place and went to the superior temple. He spoke to the Superior Gods telepathically and soon met them in person.

“Mr. Su.”

All four of them were surprised to see him. They had received Su Ping’s telepathic message, right in their residences without any warning. It was terrifying.

Once they saw him again, they noticed how he was even more horrifying than before. They could not see him through anymore. All their pores were involuntarily closed off and compressed, instinctively ready for battle.

“I’ve asked about your homecoming,” said Su Ping in a straightforward manner, “Even the God Emperors are unable to do that. I can only ask the Ancestral Gods for help.”

“Ancestral Gods?”

They looked at each other in bewilderment. That was a term from a distant past. According to their memories, they were the real ultimate legends of the Archean Divinity.

“My current identity is not enough to ask the Ancestral Gods for help. So, there is only one way for you to return to your home, which is to pack everybody and have them enter your universes. After that, you can enter my universe and I’ll take you there,” said Su Ping as he looked at the four of them.

The gods were stunned. That was the same proposal from before; none of them were willing since it was too risky.

“Is there no other way?” Heather couldn’t help but ask.

Su Ping glanced at her and slightly shook his head. “You can take your time to think. Even if you want to leave, it’ll take some time to gather and transport many people. If you prefer waiting, I can personally haul your world to where it belongs when I become an Ancestral God.”

“When you become an Ancestral God?”

The four of them looked at Su Ping with widened eyes.

Even though they weren’t as strong as their old selves when leaving the Archean Divinity, every god in their homeland knew how powerful Ancestral Gods were.

“That’s right.” Su Ping nodded.

One of them couldn’t help but ask, “Then… What’s your current level?”

Su Ping was open about it. “In terms of level, I’m not as high as you, but if you only focus on combat ability, I should be able to kill you instantly. Once I condense my Dao Heart, I will become an emperor and aim for the next level. I don’t know how long it’ll; after all, I’m still trying to condense my Dao Heart.”

“Condense your Dao Heart? Become an emperor?”

All of them gazed at Su Ping. In the world of gods, the only emperors were God Emperors!

God Emperors were exactly a realm above them.

After a moment of silence, they glanced at each other and felt that the situation was surreal. A while back they could have easily killed him; however, the tables had turned in the blink of an eye, since Su Ping claimed he could kill them instantly. The role reversal came so fast that they couldn’t get used to it yet.

There was nothing but silence.

All five of them stood there in silence. Su Ping stared at them quietly, waiting for them to digest the information.

After a long time passed, Shivalello said, “If possible, we’d like to choose the second option.”

“The second?” Su Ping looked at him in surprise.

Heather said with a conflicted expression. “Although we’re longing to get back home, we’ve lived in this place for too long. This is our home too.”

“That’s right. If we only take the people away, the cities we’ve established will be left as ruins. That would be very sad,” said Eborr.

Su Ping glanced at them, knowing it was their collective decision after they discussed amongst themselves.

“Maybe you’ll have to wait for a long time then,” said Su Ping.

“That’s all right.”

Shivalello said with a smile, “If we’re finally done with waiting, we can always choose the first option; we’ve waited for a million years already. Mr. Su, you’ve reached your current height in only a few hundred years; I believe that you have the potential to rise to the top, because you’re by far the most unusual genius we have ever seen.”
