"A bunch of monsters suddenly emerged from the depths of the divine residence."
Xingyue Shen 'er looked at Su Ping with a weird expression and said, "Those monsters are horrifying; they can ignore the power of laws. Some of them can even absorb the power of faith. Even Star Lords like us couldn't do anything about them. Fortunately, the three Ascendant State experts covered for us so that we had a chance to escape."
"Monsters …"
Su Ping's eyes flashed. They must be the creatures behind the Heavenly Pit that the Twilight Deity King was trying to stop at the cost of his life.
"Thankfully, you reminded us in time and we retreated as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous even with the help of the three Ascendant State experts. Something horrifying seemed to have awakened in the depths of the divine residence. Even the three Ascendant State experts had to retreat and block the divine residence."
Xingyue Shen 'er stared at Su Ping and asked, "How do you know about those monsters? Did you really get the heritage of the divine residence after crossing the bridge?"
Everybody was shocked to hear that. They couldn't help but look at Su Ping.
The divine residence was probably an ancient Ascendant State deity, or even stronger. Even Ascendant State experts would be jealous of the heritage of the divine residence.
Sensing everybody's gaze, Su Ping said with a bitter smile, "Of course not. The bridge seemed to be a test set up by the divine residence. It's not surprising that I passed it. The guy who fought alongside me also passed the bridge. We went our separate ways to explore."
"It's not surprising …"
Everybody's lips twitched after hearing what Su Ping said. So many Star State experts, including the Star Lords, were stopped, and only the two of them passed. Yet, he said that it was not surprising?
They would have thought that Su Ping was showing off if he didn't look normal.
"Then how did you know it was dangerous?" Xingyue Shen 'er stared at Su Ping, as if she had seen through Su Ping's mind.
Su Ping, however, did not panic at all. He calmly said, "I just happened to explore an area where there was a living creature. It said that it wanted to summon the guardian beast of the immortal mansion to repel us invaders. When I heard about the guardian beast, I immediately slipped away. When I returned, I saw you appear in the square, so I reminded you."
"Guardian beast?"
Su Ping's words surprised everyone.
This immortal abode had been silent for countless years, but there was still a guardian beast inside?
Xingyue Shen 'er frowned and stared at Su Ping. "Even if you have guardian beasts and three Ascendant State experts, why would you run away?"
That's right, this was the loophole in Su Ping's argument.
Su Ping had foreseen that she would ask, but he didn't tell her the truth because it had already happened. Even if he said that it was the three Ascendant State experts who had caused the mysterious Heavenly Pit to appear, it wouldn't make any difference. Although the three Ascendant State experts would be greatly affected, it wouldn't do him any good.
After all, if the three Ascendant State experts were to be investigated by the Celestial State experts of the Federation, they would probably blame him for it.
He couldn't hide in his shop for the rest of his life; he wouldn't mess with them if he couldn't.
"It's true that there are Ascendant State experts, but small fries like us would have been killed instantly if we got involved in a battle between Ascendant State experts. Naturally, I had to run away and explore the place after the battle was over," said Su Ping calmly as usual.
That was his excuse anyway. Su Ping didn't care if they believed him or not.
It was better to let them guess than to piss off the three Ascendant State experts.
That was how the world worked. It was best not to tell the truth if you weren't strong enough, because you didn't have the capital to do so!
Everybody wore different expressions after hearing what Su Ping said. Xingyue Shen 'er frowned. Su Ping's explanation didn't sound wrong, but she felt that it was weird, as if he were hiding something.
However, she had her own speculations. Although they made her jealous, she wouldn't force Su Ping to confess just because of that.
She had her pride. Besides, Su Ping had warned her when he was running away, which was already a kindness.
Thinking for a moment, Xingyue Shen 'er nodded and said, "You're smart enough to react fast. Otherwise, not just you, but all of us would have been killed. I didn't expect those monsters to be the guardian beasts of the divine residence. It seems that the divine residence is even more horrifying than we thought. It's very likely to be the residence of a Celestial State expert!"
Celestial State!
Everybody from the Star Alliance was shocked by the name; their eyes glittered.
Some of them glanced at Su Ping, deep in thought.
Su Ping, however, ignored them. Sometimes, as long as you were ahead of others, even if you didn't pick up anything, they would think that you had picked up more!
However, Su Ping did pick up some things, such as Green Lady.
Xingyue Shen 'er looked at Rhea and asked curiously, "How did this planet end up here?"
Making a planet travel across several galaxies and a hundred light years wasn't something that Su Ping could do on his own.
O 'Neil also looked at Su Ping curiously. He wanted to know how and why Su Ping had managed to steal his home.
"Well, my hometown was in trouble, and I didn't have time to take a spaceship. A big shot I know happened to know about it and helped me push the planet," said Su Ping, half truthfully.
"You didn't have time to take a spaceship?"
"Then, you pushed the planet here?"
Everybody from the Star Alliance was dumbfounded. What kind of reason was that? You took a planet just because you didn't have time to take a spaceship?
Was that how the big shots did things?
Xingyue Shen 'er was stunned too. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Rhea. As far as she knew, only Ascendant State experts were capable of pushing planets!
Star Lords could have done it too, but it would have been very difficult, and they couldn't have done it so quickly!
"Is this Brother Heaven Destroyer's hometown? It seems to be a tier-3 planet. The astral power density here is mediocre. "
"What's this tree? It's so huge!"
"The Star Lord who was beaten away just now seemed to have come for this tree."
"It must be an extraordinary tree, right?"
The people from the Star Alliance didn't linger on the matter of pushing planets for long. Su Ping's strength and the fact that he was backed by a big shot were completely within their expectations.
They would have been surprised if he didn't have a big shot as a backer!
O 'Neil, on the other hand, was conflicted and lost for words. You're too lazy to take a spaceship, so you're pushing my planet. Have you ever considered my feelings?
It was easy to push the planet, but how could I go back now?
"Yes, this is my hometown, Blue Star. It's also the planet of origin of mankind. It's only a tier-5 planet at the moment; I hope you can take care of it in the future. You're welcome to visit my planet if you want to do business. I'll definitely give you a discount."
Su Ping took the opportunity to get more sponsors for Blue Star.
All of them were in the Star State and had a lot of connections. The Blue Planet's development would be dozens of times faster if they took care of it. There would be a lot of benefits if the Blue Planet was upgraded to a tier-1 planet; other people would have to think twice before causing trouble on the Blue Planet.
"Blue Star?"
"Is this the legendary Planet of Origin?"
"I heard that the solar systems around the Planet of Origin have been exhausted. I didn't know that the planet was still here …"
"Brother Heaven Destroyer was born on the Planet of Origin. Tsk, tsk. It's unbelievable that there are still living creatures on the Planet of Origin after so many years …"
Everybody looked around in surprise. Everybody in the Federation had heard about the Planet of Origin, but nobody had ever seen it, nor had they gone looking for it.
Even though some curious explorers wanted to look for it, they couldn't find it.
Some gave up due to the long journey.
"Brother Heaven Destroyer is truly awesome. You've reached the Star State on the Planet of Origin. Tsk, tsk!"
"I heard that the Planet of Origin is exhausted. It doesn't seem to be as barren as we thought."
"This is the birthplace of mankind. We have to take good care of it …"
Everybody complimented him. They were all happy to get closer to Su Ping since Su Ping had offered them an olive branch. After all, Su Ping's combat ability in the divine residence indicated that he was one of the top experts in the Star State. It was very likely that he would become a Star Lord in the future!
O 'Neil was also very polite, but he was still hesitating about how to return to his planet.
"Since it's your hometown, I'll take care of it." Xingyue Shen 'er said to Su Ping confidently, "That guy wanted the divine tree. What kind of tree is it?"
"I don't know. It just grew in my hometown," Su Ping replied truthfully.
There was no need to lie; they could easily find out if they searched the news.
"It just grew?" Xingyue Shen 'er couldn't help but raise her head and look at the divine tree curiously. She sensed that the area below the tree was sealed by a mysterious power. The tree seemed to have the power of a Star Lord, and she felt that it would be unshakable. It was definitely a valuable tree, but she didn't know what it was exactly.
"Right, speaking of divine trees, I still have the Tree of Laws."
Xingyue Shen 'er suddenly slapped her forehead and took out the Tree of Laws from her small world.
Everybody's eyes glittered when they saw the Tree of Laws.
The tree was emitting a divine aura and surrounded by the aura of laws. A hundred fruits were growing under the leaves, each of which contained a law!
A hundred Star State warriors could be trained if they were given to Fate State warriors!
"As I said earlier, the Dao fruits on the tree belong to you, but I want the tree. This time, you contributed the most in seizing this Dao Tree of Laws. You can split it."
You can split it, "said Xingyue Shen 'er to Su Ping without any reluctance.
Su Ping's eyes glittered. He had been waiting for the tree too.
Su Ping turned around and asked Father Time, Shennong's Three Punches and the others, "How many fruits do you want?"
He wanted to take all the good ones, since he was the one distributing the fruits. However, that would easily offend them, so he decided to leave the problem to them first.
"Brother Heaven Destroyer, you can do whatever you want."
"That's right. Although we did put in some effort, if it weren't for you, we would have been completely wiped out. We wouldn't have been able to get a single one."
"Brother Heaven Destroyer, just give us the ones you don't want."
All three of them said with a smile.
Seeing that they had kicked the ball back to him, Su Ping thought for a moment and said, "How about … one for each of you?"
"…"
The three of them were stunned. They looked at each other in bewilderment, their lips twitching.
Although you're the one distributing the fruits, you're still too greedy!
There are a hundred fruits, and you're only giving us three?
The three of them were lost for words, but they had already made the decision; none of them wanted to be the bad guy.
"Since you've agreed, let's do it this way." Su Ping waited for a moment. He was delighted to see that they didn't say anything. He said with a smile, "Thank you for your generosity."
"…"
The three of them looked at each other and realized what they were thinking. Why aren't you saying anything?
There was nothing else the three of them could say at this point. They all heaved a sigh. Although the Tree of Laws wouldn't have existed without Su Ping, they were still upset that each of them had only taken one fruit out of a hundred.
Su Ping naturally knew that such a distribution would make other people jealous, but those were the fruits of laws! They were super rare resources!
Any one of them was enough for Fate State warriors to fight for at any cost!
They were precious even for Star State warriors. Otherwise, why would so many Star State warriors be willing to fight for their Star Lords?
Su Ping couldn't decline such an important resource.
The others looked at the three of them sympathetically after Su Ping finished distributing the fruits, but they also knew that they would feel regretful if they were given even one more fruit.
Xingyue Shen 'er remained calm and didn't say anything. It was Su Ping's freedom to distribute the fruits. After all, Su Ping was the one who got the Tree of Laws. She owed him a favor for getting the Tree of Laws. Plus the reminder … She owed him two favors in total.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Su Ping had already taken action. He quickly picked the fruits of laws from the Tree of Laws and stored them in his storage space, leaving only three middle-sized fruits.
The size and age of the fruits were closely related to the laws inside.
Among them, there were seven of the most mature and massive fruits. The Laws contained within them were all at the peak of the starry skies. They were already close to becoming complete Great Daos!
Those seven fruits alone were enough to create seven peak Star State warriors!
Looking at the three lonely fruits on this Dao Tree of Laws, everyone felt their mouths and tongues go dry. It was too tempting. They only hated that they didn't have the ability to fight on behalf of the Alliance Master and seize this Dao Tree of Laws. Otherwise, they would definitely leap a thousand zhang, their strength explosively increasing by several times!
Some of them rolled their eyes, already considering if they should trade some rare treasures with Su Ping.
After all, Su Ping had taken so many fruits of laws for himself; he had to be giving them to his family.
Even the peak Star State warriors didn't need so many fruits of laws to strengthen their own laws. When one's understanding of laws was close to the path, they would have to rely on their own understanding; it would be hard for them to study other laws by analogy.
While everybody was thinking, the world suddenly trembled.
To be more exact, the entire space was shaking!
"The Universe Geniuses' Contest will officially begin on April 1st of the Federation!
"All the races in the Federation are allowed to participate in the contest!"
A vast, ancient voice rang out from the universe. It reverberated through the starry sky, causing the silent universe to become silent.
