Once again, Su Ping was reminded of the cruelty of the law of survival. Not even the gods could be spared.
However, the system's words reminded Su Ping of something else.
"Can I sign a contract with the Void Bugs and make them my pet?" Su Ping asked the system in his mind.
According to the system, the insectoids could digest gods and undead creatures and refine the energy in their bodies. If he had such a pet, he could use the insectoids to transform when he went to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead, a plane of the undead such as the Undead Plane.
The system said nothing.
After a long while, the system said slowly, "Everything is a pet …"
Su Ping had heard this before. But this time, when he heard it from the system, he felt the system's tone was a bit down.
For a moment, Su Ping was surprised by the system's tone. But he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised by the system's answer. That was to say, he could capture a Void Bug and take it away.
"I think I will have to look for more Void Bugs in the next two days," Su Ping said to himself.
At the moment, the Little Skeleton and the Celestial Pig had cleaned up all the dead Void Bugs. The Divine Crystals were sent back to Su Ping. Su Ping chose to give them to the Dark Dragon Hound again.
Soon, the Dark Dragon Hound's divinity reached 100 points and was converted into one point of Divine Power.
At the moment, the Dark Dragon Hound had two points of Divine Power and 68 points of divinity.
Su Ping wanted to see how powerful the Dark Dragon Hound's divinity skill would be.
Before the test, Su Ping asked the system in his mind, "Can I recover the Divine Power that I have used?"
"You can recover it over time," the system replied calmly.
Su Ping breathed in relief. He told the Dark Dragon Hound to use the Tearing Dragon Claw, a skill that required two points of Divine Power.
This was an eighth-rank pet skill.
The Dark Dragon Hound sensed Su Ping's order. Its hair stood on end. The strands of golden hair on its body were glowing. Then, a golden halo appeared around its claws.
Roar!
The Dark Dragon Hound dashed out and smashed the wall with its claws.
With a bang, like an earthquake, the thick cave instantly exploded, creating a giant hole more than ten meters in diameter. One could see the blue sky and the different star field outside.
Su Ping's pupils shrank in shock.
This power was too strong!
His attack was at least two or three times stronger!!
This kind of power was completely comparable to some Tier 9 offensive skills. The degree of improvement was too great.
If he had used some other legendary skills, he would have been as powerful as a beast king!
Su Ping stepped out from the wall. He felt his blood boiling when he saw the deep trench on the ground. He turned to the Dark Dragon Hound that was just as frightened. He checked the Dark Dragon Hound's status and realized that the two points of Divine Energy that it had accumulated had been cleared.
However, the system had mentioned that the Divine Power could be slowly restored over time.
"It seems that this Divine Power is like a nuclear bomb. It can be detonated at a critical moment to counterattack!" Su Ping felt that the Demigod Burial was worth visiting again. The more Divine Gems he could collect, the better.
What surprised Su Ping was that the Dark Dragon Hound's aptitude remained the same after receiving the Divine Power. It was still above average.
Did the assessment not take the Divine Power into account?
Either way, the Dark Dragon Hound's combat strength, which Su Ping valued the most, had improved.
During the five days of training, the Dark Dragon Hound's combat strength had increased from 9.2 to 9.4. The newly acquired Divine Power had boosted the Dark Dragon Hound's combat strength to 9.6!
With the help of the Divine Power, the Dark Dragon Hound could hunt down beasts at the intermediate stage of the ninth rank on its own!
The Dark Dragon Hound was still at the upper position of the sixth rank. Because of the restriction of its bloodline, it could neither advance nor evolve. The increase in combat strength was already shocking.
"If I give the Little Skeleton Divine Power, maybe its combat strength can go beyond 9.9 and reach 10!"
Su Ping said to himself.
When the Little Skeleton entered the Demigod Burial, its combat strength was 9.9.
Five days later, it was still 9.9.
During the days of training, Su Ping could tell that the Little Skeleton was stronger than before. However, it seemed that the Little Skeleton's combat strength was stuck at that point, unable to make a breakthrough. The 0.1 between 9.9 and 10 seemed to be a condensed value.
It was like reaching the peak of the ninth rank and becoming a beast king. It was extremely difficult.
"But, wouldn't it be strange to give the Little Skeleton Divine Power? It's an undead creature. It might be better if it can absorb dark energy. But … I think I can give it a try if it can absorb Divine Power."
Su Ping's eyes flickered. He asked the Purple Python to swim over and jump onto his head.
"Let's go."
He set off again. This time, his goal was to search for the insectoids while he was training.
…
…
Two days later.
In a dense forest in the Star Ocean Forest.
The ground was shaking violently as if a giant beast was stomping on the ground. Five people rushed out, breathing heavily. One of them was a girl sitting on the back of a golden-furred Dragon Wolf. The Dragon Wolf moved quickly and had ferocious fangs. It was a beast at the peak of the ninth rank.
To be exact, the Dragon Wolf had a half-mythical bloodline. It had lived for thousands of years and had developed a high level of intelligence.
"It's a swarm of insectoids!"
"There is an entrance to the void here. Damn it!"
They didn't look happy.
The vibration was getting closer and closer, and the ear-piercing but deep sound of limbs crawling. They were scared out of their wits.
Right then, one of the young men said, "I'll cover the rear. You guys run."
"Su?"
"No, we came together. How can we let you cover the rear by yourself?"
"I, as the captain, should cover the rear. Su, thank you for your kindness. I, Luo Yan, am determined to make friends with you!"
A bulky man in the team said. He grinned at the young man. "If there is an afterlife, I'll drink with you again!"
"Captain …"
The young man's face changed slightly. He smiled bitterly. He didn't expect these Gods to be so loyal and pure.
"I still have the strength to fight. Moreover, I have a way to escape. Let me do it. Don't talk anymore." The young man spoke again. This time, there was an unquestionable look in his eyes. His whole body emitted a powerful aura.
Feeling that the young man suddenly changed, they were stunned and a little surprised.
The girl riding the Dragon Wolf looked at him deeply and whispered, "We'll wait for you!"
"Su …"
The others hesitated.
The young man didn't say anything else. He opened up the space and summoned a Dragon Beast.
The Dragon Beast landed and roared fiercely.
The young man stopped on the Dragon Beast's shoulder, turned around, and waved to his four teammates.
The four teammates turned around and saw the young man's figure standing behind them. He was getting farther and farther away, but the young man's smile was still clear. It was as if he was right in front of them.
"Su …"
The bulky captain gritted his teeth and wiped his eyes.
The girl riding the Dragon Wolf also gritted her teeth. She remembered the young man's face deep in her heart.
The other two couldn't bear it and looked away.
Squeak squeak squeak!
In front of the young man and the dragon beast, a large area of the forest collapsed. Dust flew everywhere, and giant trees fell one after another. A dark and ferocious torrent swept out from behind the trees. They were all kinds of ugly insect beasts.
In the next moment, the young man and the Dragon Beast were drowned in the flood of Insect Beasts …
In front of this flood of Insect Beasts, the strength of an individual was too weak. He was so weak that he couldn't even withstand a single blow.
…
"Ten minutes later, these Insect Beasts should have run away …"
In the resurrection space, Su Ping looked at the two resurrection options in front of him. He didn't choose immediately. Instead, he waited quietly.
He wanted to resurrect on the spot. However, he was in the middle of the Insect Beasts. If he resurrected randomly, he didn't know where he would be randomly sent to. It was rare to encounter a Insect Beasts. If he waited for the Insect Beasts to pass and there were only a small group of Insect Beasts left, he could hunt them down and earn a lot of Divine Crystals.
"I don't know if these guys can escape or not …"
Su Ping wanted to turn around and look at his teammates, but he was in the space of consciousness and had no physical body, so he could not turn around. Everything around him was pitch black.
These teammates were from the same adventurer team.
They were all Gods.
Su Ping joining this adventurer team was a complete accident.
The last time he was randomly resurrected outside this divine city, he happened to meet them when they were recruiting members to hunt a wormhole. Su Ping then joined them. There was Devour.
It would be much easier for him to have someone lead the way, and it would save him a lot of time.
Along the way, Su Ping received a lot of help from his teammates. Although he didn't think it was necessary, they were kind and he couldn't ignore it.
In this absolutely silent space where even the flow of time could not be perceived, the concept of ten minutes was completely calculated by Su Ping in his heart.
After ten minutes had passed, Su Ping chose to resurrect on the spot.
As soon as he came back to life, Su Ping released all his senses to stay alert.
This action saved him 120 points of resurrection energy. As soon as he came back to life, an Insect Beast dashed toward him from behind.
Su Ping dodged and summoned the Dark Dragon Hound and the Little Skeleton at the same time.
Hiss!
The Little Skeleton snuck out from the contract space and disappeared. It killed that Insect Beast with one strike.
That Insect Beast was at the eighth rank. It didn't have many skills but its body was tough. However, for the Little Skeleton, toughness was the least of its concerns. The bone blade in its hand was almost indestructible.
Su Ping summoned his pets one by one. At the same time, he looked around. There were over a dozen Insect Beasts that were gnawing on the trees. As soon as he came out, those Insect Beasts turned around and swarmed toward him.
Charge!
Without hesitation, Su Ping told the Little Skeleton to take the lead and charge into the swarm of Insect Beasts.
As the battle went on, more and more Insect Beasts were attracted. Su Ping noticed that the Insect Beasts from before hadn't left yet. As the battle became louder, more and more Insect Beasts were swarming over.
Su Ping heaved a sigh. He resisted for a moment but was eventually swallowed by the Insect Beasts.
Another sharp pain came and then everything returned to normal.
Su Ping continued to wait in the space of his consciousness.
This time, he went out after half an hour. There were no more Insect Beasts around. He summoned his pets and followed the traces left by the Insect Beasts.
Soon, Su Ping found the scattered Insect Beasts and killed them one by one.
Su Ping gave the Little Skeleton the Divine Crystals that he found from the Insect Beasts' bodies. After two days of hunting, apart from the Celestial Pig, all his pets had gained three Divine Powers.
The three Divine Powers were enough for them to perform one deified skill.
The one with the most Divine Powers was the Little Skeleton. It had eight!
The eight Divine Powers were enough for the Little Skeleton to perform two to three deified skills in a row!
After receiving the Divine Powers, the Little Skeleton's combat strength finally broke through the impasse of 9.9 and successfully entered the 10.1 level.
That was the combat strength of a Beast King!
Meanwhile, the Little Skeleton's aptitude had finally improved once again, reaching above average.
When its combat strength broke through from 9.9 to 10, its aptitude jumped from below average to above average.
A 0.1 increase in combat strength allowed the Little Skeleton to jump a level in aptitude, which was extremely difficult to increase. This was something that Su Ping didn't expect.
From this, it could be seen that the gap between 9.9 and 10 in combat strength was a huge barrier!
"Although the training this time cost a lot of energy, I've gained a lot. Also, I've successfully completed the professional training mission. I'll be able to return in a few hours …"
Su Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was extremely tired, he felt more relaxed.
After a few days of hard work, the Celestial Pig's combat strength had passed seven and its aptitude had reached above average.
Su Ping's own pets had been greatly improved as well. The trip had been fruitful.
Two hours later, Su Ping caught up with the Insect Beasts. They had set up camp on a mountain in the Astral Forest and were building a cave there.
Su Ping's arrival alerted the Insect Beasts. Some of the Insect Beasts had a greater range of perception than the Dark Dragon Hound. As a result, before Su Ping could receive the Dark Dragon Hound's warning signal, the Insect Beasts were the first to discover him.
As expected, Su Ping and his pets were surrounded and annihilated.
Among Su Ping's pets, there was a Void Bug. It tried to communicate with the Void Bug on behalf of Su Ping but was killed along with the Void Bug.
That Void Bug was a young one that Su Ping had captured. It was only at the seventh rank, a green-shelled insect with the lowest bloodline among the Void Bugs. Under Su Ping's training, the Void Bug's combat strength had been increased to 8, making it a formidable existence in the outside world. However, compared to the advanced Void Bugs that had surrounded Su Ping, the Void Bug was just a small fry.
That being said, even though the Void Bug was just a small fry, it still had the ability to transform energy.
That was why Su Ping wasn't picky about it.
This time, Su Ping didn't choose to revive on the spot. Since the insectoids had set up camp there, reviving would be pointless. He could either stay in his consciousness and wait until the connection to the cultivation space ended, then he could be teleported out.
Or he could revive at a random location and fool around in another place.
Su Ping estimated the time he had left and decided to revive at a random location.
When he opened his eyes again, Su Ping saw white again.
He was surrounded by the fragrance of a young girl and the fluttering curtains. He was in an empty room. In front of Su Ping was a huge bed. A young girl was lying on the bed, leaning against the headboard quietly … digging her nose.
