After absorbing the astral power that had been sealed for a thousand years, Su Ping looked around, only to see Nie Huofeng lying on a broken wall.
His eyes glittered as he flew over.
"Why are you here alone? Did they leave you behind?" asked Su Ping, raising his eyebrows.
Nie Huofeng leaned against the concrete slab weakly and looked at Su Ping, whose aura was gradually receding. He said in a feeble voice, "I was the one who asked them to drive away the beast tides …"
He was obviously gasping for breath after he said that.
Su Ping nodded and said, "Then hang in there for a while longer. I'm going to help them."
He didn't like Nie Huofeng, but he didn't hate him, either.
After all, the guy had defeated the beast tides a thousand years ago, suppressed them in the Deep Caves, and signed a treaty with the Empress of the Seas to protect mankind for a thousand years of peace. Those were all contributions!
As for the beast tides that had been released, that was his fault. He had almost been slaughtered by the Lord of the Deep Caves, which was also his fault!
Su Ping was too lazy to judge which was more important. All in all, everything was over. He would leave the merits and demerits to the later generations who had nothing better to do. All he needed to do was to try his best to do what he could.
Nie Huofeng immediately knew what was on Su Ping's mind when he saw the latter's indifference. He didn't try to explain himself, but simply said bitterly, "I don't know what technique you're practicing, but the astral power I've accumulated for a thousand years wasn't enough for you to reach the Void State …"
He had been lying there and watching while Su Ping absorbed the astral power. It was an extremely bitter and uncomfortable feeling.
It was like his precious wife that he couldn't bear to touch, only to have someone else take advantage of her, leaving nothing behind.
However, he knew that he was unable to compete with Su Ping in his current state.
Also, Su Ping had slain the Lord of the Deep Caves and saved everybody from extinction on the Blue Star Planet. As a matter of fact, he owed Su Ping his life!
From this point alone, he was not qualified to compete with Su Ping.
The other Legends all knew that, so they went to clear the beast tide, leaving the thousand-year astral power for Su Ping to absorb.
"Hehe."
Su Ping put on a fake smile after hearing Nie Huofeng's words. Who would tell you about cultivation techniques?
Seeing Su Ping's reaction, Nie Huofeng put on a bitter smile but didn't say anything. He naturally didn't want to know Su Ping's techniques; he was just too shocked.
After all, he had planned to use the thousand years of astral power to become a Star Lord!
Even a Star State expert would have a chance to advance to a higher level with such a huge amount of savings!
Su Ping should have been able to reach the peak of the Fate State as a Legend, but the truth was that he hadn't even reached the Void State.
"Now that the Blue Star Planet has migrated to this unknown galaxy, the spaceships must be produced by the Federation. We're finally no longer at the edge of the Federation." Nie Huofeng looked past Su Ping at the spaceships above his head.
His old and dim eyes gradually became bright again. He said, "The Blue Star Planet will definitely develop rapidly now that we're connected to the Federation. I'll also be able to leave the Blue Star Planet and explore the great space …"
The Blue Planet used to be at the edge of a barren land with no resources. However, Nie Huofeng was confident that he could rise again and reach a higher level on his own even if he lost the thousand years of astral power he had acquired in the Federation!
As long as the fire in his heart didn't die out and he kept pushing forward, there would always be results!
Given Nie Huofeng's willpower, it was obvious that he wouldn't be defeated by the loss of his reputation.
Su Ping slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the spaceships above his head. He said with concern, "I've only heard that those who fall behind will be beaten up. Do you think those spaceships will attack us and enslave us as if we're natives when the protective energy outside the atmosphere is gone?"
Nie Huofeng put on a rare smile and said, "You're overthinking. Although the Blue Star Planet is underdeveloped, it's still a legal planet registered in the Federation and protected by the laws of the Federation. People born on the Blue Star Planet have the legal rights to the Blue Star Planet. Even without the protection of the mysterious power, they'll still have to pay a boarding fee if they come to the Blue Star Planet. Also, they'll have to pay taxes if they catch wild beasts on the Blue Star Planet …
"Also, the Blue Star Planet has just been relocated to this galaxy, which will definitely arouse the curiosity of a lot of people. It may become a tourist attraction for the time being. You must know that the taxes for tourism are very high …"
He seemed to have regained his vigor all of a sudden and continued talking.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He naturally didn't know the details, but he could see the excitement on Nie Huofeng's old face. He clearly wasn't lying.
It was true that money was the most powerful thing!
No wonder the system was so greedy …
Su Ping secretly shook his head and interrupted Nie Huofeng. "Then you stay here. I'll leave my pet to protect you. I'm going to take care of the beast tides."
Then, he summoned the Purple Python from the space.
"I don't need your protection …" Nie Huofeng was about to say something, but he was rendered speechless by the Purple Python that Su Ping summoned. "You should at least pretend to protect me. A sixth-rank pet …"
"It's enough to take care of you," said Su Ping angrily.
So what if it was only at the sixth rank? The beast kings had all fled. The Purple Python was more than enough to protect him, considering that it was as strong as a Vast Ocean King.
You don't like it?
I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you if you weren't useful!
Su Ping snorted and simply left.
The Purple Python realized that it had been underestimated. It whipped the ground with its tail, leaving a deep trench that was almost ten meters long. It looked at Nie Huofeng coldly while sticking out its forked tongue.
Nie Huofeng was stunned to see the deep trench. It was obviously not a damage that a sixth-rank beast could have caused.
Also … the python wasn't scared of him at all?
It had to be noted that, despite his poor state, he was still a Star State being. His aura was enough to intimidate the beasts below the King State. That was why he was bold enough to stay in that place without anyone's protection.
However, the python didn't seem to care about him at all. It even despised him …
Is it true that a weirdo has a weirdo's pet?
Nie Huofeng's lips twitched. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
…
"Kill them!"
"The legendary battle pet warrior has driven away the beast kings. Only the bastards are left. Kill them!"
"Charge! Charge!"
Inside the defense line — after the Lord of the Deep Caves was slain and the Beast Kings were running for their lives, the battle pet warriors who had been waiting for death in desperation were suddenly filled with hope. They unleashed all their strength and charged everywhere.
The wild beasts that had reached the streets of the base cities were instantly blocked by the battle pet warriors.
"Run! Protect the elderly and the children!"
"Leave it to us! We're battle pet warriors too!"
The battle pet warriors began to reinforce and kill the wild beasts in every corner of the defense line.
As the legendary battle pet warriors joined the battle, the wild beasts in every corner of the defense line were instantly slaughtered. Blood and corpses were everywhere.
Roar!!
Su Ping joined the battlefield for the final cleanup.
He summoned the Inferno Dragon. Its roar echoed across the entire defense line. Some of the fleeing wild beasts trembled and ran as if they had lost their minds.
"Little Skeleton, go."
Su Ping canceled the fusion with the Little Skeleton. The Little Skeleton appeared next to him and charged into the battlefield as per Su Ping's command.
"Silly dog …"
Su Ping looked at his own body. His legs were still bent like a wolf's and full of explosive power. Dark hair had also appeared on his arms. He looked like a werewolf under the moonlight, except for his face.
Phew!
Su Ping canceled the fusion with the Dark Dragon Hound.
Very soon, the Dark Dragon Hound appeared in midair. It was still weak at the moment, but its horrifying wounds had mostly healed.
"Go and take a rest." Su Ping looked at the Dark Dragon Hound with both complicated and gentle feelings. He had understood the Dark Dragon Hound's intentions after the battle.
The dog had tried so hard to learn defensive skills not because it was scared of death, but because it wanted to protect him.
Sensing Su Ping's hand on its head, the Dark Dragon Hound rubbed its head and barked.
"Silly dog, didn't you learn how to talk earlier?"
"Say a few more sentences for me."
"Woof, woof!"
"…"
Su Ping was at a loss for words. Then, he burst into laughter.
After he stopped laughing, Su Ping hugged the Dark Dragon Hound and said in a low voice, "The most important thing in the future is to protect yourself. Do you understand?"
"Woof …"
The Dark Dragon Hound opened its mouth and softened its eyes.
…
After the Dark Dragon Hound left, Su Ping charged into the battlefields with his sword in hand.
His entire body exuded a torrential divine aura. Wherever he flew, some of the demonic beasts running in the alleys and streets were so frightened that they trembled and fell to the ground.
Su Ping ejected energy to kill all the wild beasts he saw along the way.
The cries of wild beasts were echoing everywhere on the battlefield. In places where reinforcements had yet to arrive, the low-rank wild beasts were still slaughtering the residents.
The clean-up work was carried out quickly. The intelligence center and the command center were back in operation, transmitting intelligence and commanding the battle pet warrior legions to reinforce the battlefields.
In the blink of an eye, the clean-up work was over in less than half an hour.
Su Ping, Qin Duhuang, Ye Wuxiu and the other legendary battle pet warriors killed all the wild beasts that entered the defense lines. Corpses and blood of wild beasts were piled up on the streets and alleys.
All the base cities were dilapidated and had to be rebuilt.
However, at this moment, there were no more intimidating roars in the ruined defense lines. There was a rare moment of peace.
"It's finally over …"
Ye Wuxiu, Xue Yunzhen and the others looked at the dilapidated base cities and the piles of wild beasts' corpses in the sky with complicated feelings.
"We have to thank him. Otherwise, this place would have been reduced to a nest of wild beasts …" Xue Yunzhen's eyes flashed as she looked into the distance, where a man was rushing forward quickly. It was none other than Su Ping.
The others couldn't help but nod in awe as they watched Su Ping walk away.
"Yes, thanks to Boss Su."
"Boss Su is probably the only one who deserves to be called a 'legendary battle pet warrior'."
"After this battle, I think I need to train in seclusion and try to reach a higher level."
"We've migrated to the Federation's solar system. If the spaceships can enter this place, can we also take spaceships and go anywhere we want?"
"I'm told that the Federation has abundant resources. Maybe we can all try to reach a higher level …"
Everybody raised their heads and looked at the spaceships above their heads. Their eyes glittered; they were full of hope for the future after surviving the disaster.
…
Su Ping returned to his shop in the Longjiang Base City.
The battle pet warriors who were cleaning the dilapidated buildings and the people who were walking out of the streets cheered and waved their hands when they saw Su Ping flying over their heads.
Some of the ordinary people knelt down with their wives and children in their arms, crying and expressing their gratitude.
He had set off for the battle, so he had to be fast. On his way back, Su Ping didn't fly at full speed. He had mixed feelings when he saw the cheers and the excitement of the people on the ground.
Luckily, I didn't give up and choose to live in my shop … Su Ping thought to himself.
He felt that he would have regretted it for the rest of his life if he had chosen the former. Even if he survived, he would always feel that he hadn't tried his best. He would always fantasize that he would have won the ten percent chance if he had rushed out with the special-grade beast-catching ring.
Although the result told him that he wasn't the Child of Destiny and that the Goddess of Luck wouldn't bless him at the critical moment, he had no regrets at the very least.
He didn't feel sorry for himself, whether he lived or died. Even if he died, he would die as a "human"!
Very soon, Su Ping saw the Pixie Pet Store.
At this moment, a lot of people were still standing in the shop. At the same time, a lot of people walked out of the safe area in the shop. After all, it was uncomfortable to be crowded together, and the disaster was over. They had all seen how Su Ping slayed the Lord of the Deep Caves with one attack.
The others who were hiding in the shop were more cautious and chose to play it safe. When they saw that Su Ping had returned, they were completely relieved and all of them burst into cheers.
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, the audience began to applaud.
Pa pa pa!
The applause was chaotic, but it rose and fell like waves, spreading throughout the nearby streets.
The tens of millions of people who had rushed here to ask for help did not leave. At this moment, they were all looking at Su Ping, who was like a king returning. Their eyes were fervent and excited, and some people had already hugged each other and cried.
They knew that they had finally won this battle!
The victory was too difficult, too difficult!
They had long since given up all hope. They were prepared to be killed, to be separated from their loved ones, and to be torn apart by the Demonic Beasts.
Only those who deeply experienced the feeling of heartbreak and despair would know how moving and exciting the victory at this moment was!
"Welcome, Lord Legend!"
"Welcome, Lord Legend!"
"Welcome, Lord Legend!"
There was no telling who took the lead, but everyone cheered at the same time. Their voices echoed across the entire Longjiang Base City.
In some distant streets, quite a number of people walked out from the ruins. When they heard the cheers, they turned their heads and looked in that direction. Excitement appeared in their eyes, and they immediately supported each other as they rushed over to thank that lord.
Some of the battle pet warriors who were responsible for the rescue also heard the cheers. They looked at each other in bewilderment and smiled excitedly, working even harder to dig and rescue.
"Welcome, Lord Legend!"
The cheers of the tens of millions of people were at the same time, shaking his eardrums and penetrating his heart.
Su Ping couldn't help but feel excited by the feelings they conveyed. He smiled and waved his hand, trying to tell them that there was no need for that.
However, at this moment, many people were flying over from the distance.
"Welcome, Lord Legend!"
"Welcome, Lord Legend!"
Those people were none other than Ye Wuxiu and the others. They were also smiling as they dropped to one knee in the air and bowed to Su Ping.
Su Ping was speechless to see that they were also there to join in the fun. However, the smile on his face disappeared when he saw the sincerity in their eyes.
The titled battle pet warriors were flying over from the distance. Behind them were some battle pet warriors on flying pets. All of them were cheering at the same time.
At this moment, Su Ping was the center of attention on the ground and in the world. He was the only king of the entire world!
…
The wild beasts were over. The clean-up was over.
The rest of the work was to rescue and rebuild.
Order was restored in the defense line. All the parties expressed their wishes that Su Ping would be the new lord of the Blue Star and become the most powerful person on the Blue Star.
All the forces were willing to surrender.
After the unified defense and the war, the remaining human beings on the Blue Star were more united than ever!
Naturally, Su Ping turned down the request. He didn't have time to be a lord.
Besides, he didn't get paid as a lord … Although nobody could afford such a salary, he didn't have the time anyway!
He had to look after the store and work for the system … He was just a poor worker.
A full-time worker was already very busy. Wouldn't he be exhausted if he had a part-time job?
However, Su Ping couldn't turn down everyone's request. In the end, Su Ping finally won his "rights" after a sharp negotiation.
He would only be the lord in name. As for everything else … he would just be a boss who didn't do anything!
The management, the reconstruction, the distribution of the five continents, the care of the pigs next door … He would throw all of them away.
Don't ask. If you do, you won't have time!
Nobody could do anything about Su Ping's resolute attitude; they could only give up.
Nie Huofeng, on the other hand, had regained some of his strength. His face was restored to the appearance of a young man …
Although he had suffered a crushing defeat in that battle and had made a fool of himself in front of the entire human race, he was still a first-generation Peak Master after all. His reputation was still there, and the strength he had displayed in that battle had won everyone's respect and awe.
Therefore, Nie Huofeng was temporarily appointed by Su Ping as the director of the planet's foreign affairs!
After all, the cute little Blue Star had just been relocated, and Nie Huofeng was the only one who could negotiate with the galaxy. He was familiar with the laws of the federation, and he had heard about the other major galaxies in the federation. Compared to the natives, he was one of the few who was in touch with the federation.
On the other hand, Ji Yuanfeng returned soon after clearing the beast tide in the defense line. He wasn't hurt, and the intelligence he brought back made Su Ping and everybody else feel relieved.
No terrifying wild beasts had shown up in the depths of the Corridor.
The sealing array that Su Ping mentioned was indeed gone, and the remnants of the array base were still there. It meant that the tremors caused by the destruction of the sealing array were only the transition of the Blue Star, not the release of any terrifying wild beasts.
Everybody cheered when they heard the news. Su Ping, Ye Wuxiu and everybody else were relieved.
Nobody wanted to go through another battle. After all, the casualties were too heavy!
After the battle of the beast tides, the population of the Blue Star had been reduced from ten billion to less than a billion. Most of the billions who had gathered in the defense line had been killed or wounded. It was truly a brutal battle!
Such a brutal battle had never happened in the history of mankind. The battle would definitely be recorded in the annals of the Blue Star as a warning to future generations!
After the battle was over and everything was rebuilt, Su Ping returned to his shop and placed the Little Skeleton, the Dark Dragon Hound and the others in nursing pens so that they could treat their wounds.
In the meantime, the system urged Su Ping to relocate again.
"The host must relocate to a tier-3 economic zone or above in this galaxy within 72 hours. Otherwise, all the remaining energy in the shop will be deducted, and the relocation will be enforced!"
Said the system in Su Ping's head, pretending to be a retard again. The intelligent system seemed to be reading cards mechanically.
"Can't we not relocate? With our popularity in the Blue Star, we'll have tons of customers in the future! "
Su Ping didn't want to leave at all. He had worked so hard to establish the prestige of the shop and his personal prestige. Doing business in the future would be as easy as lying down and counting money. Nobody would dare to question him even if he sold them at a sky-high price.
