Astral Pet Store

Su Ping was able to quickly learn the basic information about the place, based on the cyborg’s abundant memories.

Su Ping then freed the time and space and sent the guy back to the street. None of the cyborgs in the vicinity noticed anything wrong during the process, not even the one that Su Ping captured…

The Hyper-energy Gods are in the kingdom. There are no Selvegas here…

Su Ping’s eyes glittered. As far as the bluish cyborg knew, there were no Selvegas on that planet. It was obviously just a mid-rank cultivation site.

However, it was vast enough for Shen Huang and the others to settle down.

As for the surviving civilians, they could live inside Shen Huang and the others’ inner universes, as they wouldn’t take up much space.

However, since there are no Selvegas as protectors in this place, what if they settle down and encounter danger later… Su Ping frowned, but discarded the thought soon after. The cyborg he just released had been living there since birth, and there had never been any danger. He only knew that disaster had struck outside the green glass barrier, and that it was absolutely safe inside.

Su Ping immediately decided to head to the kingdom and discuss settlement issues with the strongest people there.

If they disagreed, he would still have the power to reign over them by force.

Soon.

Based on the cyborg’s memories, Su Ping traveled across countless cities and reached the capital of a kingdom.

Hardly had he made it to the city when he sensed the auras of three God Emperors. He did not panic, though. He quietly entered the royal palace and snuck to meet one of the three God Emperors.

He found the God Emperor in one of the palaces, seated right at the center, with silver tubes connected to his arms and legs. It seemed to be charging up.

Is this how the noble cyborgs cultivate? Direct energy transmission… Su Ping’s eyes glittered. Their cultivation was truly efficient. No wonder cyborgs had an advanced world, comparable to that of the gods’.

Suddenly, the cyborg opened his eyes and stared at where Su Ping was hiding.

“Who’s there?”

Su Ping showed himself. He had purposefully revealed a hint of his aura to test the guy’s strength.

“Hi,” Su Ping said.

“You speak our language?” The cyborg slightly changed his expression and gazed at the newcomer. “Who are you? Where are you from?”

Familiar questions… Su Ping sensed that the other two God Emperors were fast approaching. He replied with a smile, “I’m from another universe. An ally in fact. I hope we can stay here for now.”

“Allies?”

The cyborg seemed confused. Sensing that his two companions were there already, he gradually calmed down and said, “In other words, you’re an invader.”

Su Ping shook his head with a smile. He took out the purple token of trust which resembled a scale. “This is your Selvega’s token of trust made for me. Do you recognize it?”

The cyborg gazed at it and his expression changed a bit. He looked at Su Ping with shock and suspicion. “Where did you get this? You know the Selvega?”

“I got it from your Selvega, of course. You don’t think I grabbed it from somewhere, do you?” Su Ping smiled.

The cyborg instantly choked. Indeed… The Selvega were the strongest in their mind. Other than receiving it as a gift, there was no other way to get such an important item.

He was more or less relaxed. He asked, “Can I check it?”

“No problem.”

Su Ping tossed the item to him.

The cyborg quickly grabbed it with both hands and probed it with his consciousness. He read some information inside. Relief showing, he said to Su Ping, “This is indeed a token of alliance. How should I call you?”

“Su Ping.”

“Please keep this item well.” The cyborg returned the token.

Su Ping then said, “Can you ask your friends to show themselves? We should meet.”

The cyborg was slightly alarmed, not expecting Su Ping’s perception. Such an ally was truly strong.

Without the need to say anything—the other two cyborgs, one male and the other female, walked out of the dark. They looked at Su Ping in surprise, as they had already learned about the alliance and the token of trust. Since the Selvega had confirmed he was an ally, there was no questioning the fact.

“Hello, I am Crowe.”

“I’m Basha.”

The two cyborgs introduced themselves. Basha then asked curiously, “Did you come after meeting the Selvega? Why did you come to our place instead of staying there?”

“We encountered danger and got split up.” Su Ping had already thought of an excuse. “Danger?” All three of them were shocked. Crowe asked in a hurry, “What danger? Monsters outside the green glass? Or the Heavens?”.

Seeing how nervous they were, Su Ping thought quickly and said, “The monsters lurking outside attacked us; I don’t know if there were Heavens among them. The Selvega sent us out first.”

“Just as I thought. The green glass is getting thinner and thinner; the monsters outside can already detect us…” Basha mumbled with an awful expression. She seemed at a loss.

Crowe asked Su Ping, “Were the Selvegas wounded, then?”

“I don’t know. We got separated.” Su Ping shook his head.

There was disappointment in Crowe’s eyes. He then shook his head. “The Selvegas will be fine. The monsters can’t do anything to them unless the Heavens show up.”

“What do you mean, the green glass is getting thinner and thinner?” asked Su Ping.

Basha glanced at Su Ping. Based on Su Ping’s information, it was obvious that the Selvegas thought highly of their ally, even sending him to a safe place first. She said, “At first, the green glass was thick and inconspicuous. Even the Heavens could hardly notice it. However, as time goes by, the green glass becomes thinner and thinner.”

“Based on estimation, the green glass will be completely gone in 100,000 years. When the time comes, we’ll have to fight a life-and-death battle with the monsters outside. We might even have to leave the universe and wander in the Empyrean to find a new place to live.”

“Well….”

Su Ping wanted to say that 100,000 years was still a long time away.

On second thought, most Celestials had lived more than that span of time. For them, it was probably just a very short moment.

“Why is it happening?” asked Su Ping.

“Those monsters have probably been weakening our universe,” said Basha after a sigh.

Crowe said, “The green glass was created by the universe and the Selvegas. Outside is full of monsters. We can’t feed back to the universe while we cultivate inside the green glass. The energy of the universe is being constantly consumed. It’ll run dry sooner or later.”

Su Ping was slightly dazed. Fortunately, the Chaos Perception Dragon had told him that everything was alive. Furthermore, everything could be trained and raised in the system’s eyes.

The universe was indeed alive.

The universe is intelligent, and it secretly protects you. As for our universe… He felt guilt and shame as he recalled their escape, surrendering their universe to the Heavens. After all, it was the universe where they were born and raised. Without it, none of their lives would have been born. In a sense, it was a mother to all of them.

“You didn’t encounter those monsters on your way over?” asked the cyborg next to Su Ping.

Su Ping shook his head. “I didn’t see any of those monsters in this region.”

“You didn’t see any?” The three humanoids exchanged bewildered looks.

Noticing their reaction, Su Ping asked, “You’ve never left this place? You never explored the outside world?”

“The green glass prevents outsiders from detecting us, and it also prevents us from detecting things from the outside world.”

Basha added, “We’ve never left. The Selvegas can sense the world outside the green barrier. They will surely come to our rescue if the monsters outside are cleared. All we have to do is wait.”
