I'll have to block the Blue Star until the end of the battle!
Su Ping thought.
It would be a disaster for the Cerulean Planet if more people were allowed to learn about the tree and some knowledgeable people who knew about the ancient books in the Secret Realms recognized the extinct tree.
That was, unless he was willing to give it away.
But even if he wanted to, those Overlords would be attracted to the Blue Planet and fight with each other. They would also use the Blue Planet as a battlefield.
Although he had just returned to the Blue Planet and killed many forces, he could take the opportunity to increase the Blue Planet's reputation and attract many forces and top consortiums to invest in the Blue Planet, making the Blue Planet's economy soar, he could only give up on that for the time being!
After making the decision, Su Ping quickly came up with a plan.
He returned to the party and contacted Xie Jinshui and Nie Huofeng who were drinking.
They had seized the opportunity to talk to two Star State experts from the Alliance of Stars, who were also in the early phase of the Star State. They were happy to befriend the two powerful people on the Blue Star, mainly because they wanted to make friends with Su Ping.
Beep!
Beep! Suddenly, they received a message. Nie Huofeng lowered his head and looked at it. He then said goodbye to the Star State expert.
“？”
The Star State expert was slightly confused, but he relaxed when he heard that it was Su Ping who had summoned him. He let Nie Huofeng go and told him to talk about himself in front of Su Ping.
Soon after, Xie Jinshui and Nie Huofeng reached Su Ping.
"Boss Su, why did you call us here?"
Both of them reeked of alcohol, but they forced themselves to get rid of the alcohol when they saw Su Ping and bowed respectfully and calmly.
Su Ping stood on the top floor of a skyscraper in the Longjiang Base City and looked down at the brightly lit area. He said, "Although I've taken care of the invaders, I'm going to participate in the Universe Geniuses' Contest. I'm going to seal the Blue Star in case the tree attracts more trouble!"
"Seal the planet?"
Both of them were startled and stunned.
Nie Huofeng quickly said, "Boss Su, you demonstrated invincible strength the moment you came back, and you have the support of that Star Lord. Even if they know that the Blue Star has this tree, they won't dare to attack us again, will they?"
"That's right, Mr. Su. Those forces have been defeated by you. They won't dare to come again. If we seal the stars, we'll lose too much. It's like we're back in the Blue Star era." Xie Jinshui hurriedly tried to persuade him. He was very reluctant to lose the stars.
Once a star was sealed, it would be equivalent to returning to its original state.
And now, Blue Star was like a high-speed train that was connecting with the federation, riding on the east wind of Blue Star.
"People are greedy. My friends from the Alliance of Stars will leave with me. Even if they're willing to stay, they won't dare to show up when other Star Lords attack us. You'll be the ones who will be hurt."
Su Ping didn't tell them the truth about the divine tree, in case it was leaked. After all, it was related to the Ascendant State. Su Ping wasn't sure that they wouldn't be tempted by it.
Some people could be good people, but everybody in the world would be beasts if they were tempted enough.
The two of them looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what Su Ping said. Nie Huofeng hesitated and said, "Boss Su, isn't this too hasty? Should we reconsider …"
"I've already made up my mind. Just listen to me. I'll make up for all the losses when I become famous in the Universe Geniuses' Contest. Don't ruin the bigger picture for petty gains."
Su Ping declared resolutely, showing the toughness of a lord.
Both of them were tempted. It was true that Su Ping would probably make a name for himself in the Universe Geniuses' Contest, considering his talent! If so, Su Ping would attract a lot of attention when he became famous in the Star State. By then, they wouldn't have to persuade other organizations to join Blue Star, but they would have to choose which ones to join Blue Star!
Both of them became passionate when they thought about that.
It was true that the higher one stood, the more far-sighted they would be. The benefits that they were tempted by were nothing in Su Ping's eyes!
Xie Jinshui nodded and said, "Got it."
He had watched Su Ping grow up and was very confident in Su Ping. He had also learned a lot of common knowledge in the Federation, such as the battle pet warriors' levels, which ranged from the Legendary to the Star State, to the Ascendant State, and even the Celestial State, which was known in the Federation as the Frontier Reclamation God.
Su Ping had killed a lot of Star State warriors when he was in the Void State. He would definitely shock a lot of people in the Universe Geniuses' Contest.
"Okay."
Nie Huofeng nodded and agreed with Su Ping.
Su Ping gave them a detailed explanation and asked them to leave.
Then, Su Ping found Xingyue Shen 'er. The girl was drinking in the main seat of the banquet. Her face was red and her eyes were hazy, which made her quite attractive. She also attracted a lot of attention, but nobody dared to look at her openly. After all, she was a real expert who could slaughter a planet by stomping her feet!
"How can I help you?"
Xingyue Shen 'er was slightly less drunk when she saw Su Ping who had teleported to her, but she was still hazy. As a matter of fact, it was only a matter of thought for her to sober up.
However, the most relaxing moment in the world was when one was drunk.
"Okay."
Su Ping nodded.
Xingyue Shen 'er looked at him and could only say, "Okay."
She then flashed and followed Su Ping to the clouds tens of thousands of meters above the base city.
Below their feet, the square base city had been reduced to the size of a matchbox. Lights were everywhere, like sparks. However, it was dark outside of the base city.
"Tell me."
"Senior, I'm going to train in seclusion and participate in the Universe Geniuses' Contest. The tree in my hometown has attracted a lot of attention. I'm worried that someone else will come to steal it and damage my planet after I leave. So, I'm going to seal the planet," said Su Ping straightforwardly.
Xingyue Shen 'er nodded slightly. "Understandable. You don't need to worry about that. I won't let anything else bother you. You'll definitely distinguish yourself in the Universe Geniuses' Contest, or even make it to the top ten! Leave those trivial matters to me. I'll take care of them for you! "
"Thank you!"
Su Ping said sincerely, "Senior, you must have a lot of channels. A lot of news is spreading on the Internet in the nearby galaxies. I wonder if you can help me erase it?"
"It's not a big deal."
Xingyue Shen 'er said calmly, "Since you're going to seal the planet, I'll contact someone to help you erase the news. I'll also release the news that I'm protecting your planet. Nobody will dare to mess with you, not even Star Lords."
"Thank you!"
Su Ping was delighted and thanked her again.
Xingyue Shen 'er raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I'll pay you back for what I owe you. It's not a big deal. You, on the other hand, should focus on breaking into the Fate State, which will be the best way for you to fight. Also, I'll follow you all the way. You'll be my living advertisement if you win a ranking …"
"No problem."
Su Ping smiled.
Xingyue Shen 'er glanced at him and said, "Also, don't call me senior in the future. I'm unparalleled … I'm not as talented as you, but I'm still very young, alright? If you call me that, people might think that I've cultivated for thousands of years. How can that be?"
"Well …"
"Call me Sister Shen 'er from now on. Do you understand?"
"Fine."
"What do you mean 'fine'? I'll tear apart anyone else's mouth if they call me that!"
"…"
Su Ping could only accept with a bitter smile.
In any case, Su Ping was greatly relieved that Xingyue Shen 'er had agreed to keep the news about the Blue Star Tree a secret.
Fortunately, this chuunibyou girl was young and inexperienced. She didn't recognize this extinct divine tree. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to it.
…
The next day —
Su Ping spent an entire day with his parents.
It was rare for him to be home. He watched TV with his mother and listened to her talk about family matters, such as how a neighbor had lost a dog and what kind of fillings should be used to make dumplings more flavorful …
Su Ping enjoyed such a mundane life.
Even though he had nothing to do and his cultivation was delayed, he had been either cultivating or training pets. He hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.
Su Ping couldn't help but think while he was relaxing. What was life? Was it to reach the peak and be alone, or was it to live a happy life?
Su Ping felt that the latter was more important and meaningful.
However, he had to reach the peak in order to be truly happy. Otherwise, tragedies would happen sooner or later, and he wouldn't be able to resist them at all. He would only be able to cry in despair in front of the tragedies, regretting that he had wasted his time.
On the third day —
Su Ping said goodbye to his parents and set off on his journey.
Before he left, the divine tree bore two more fruits, which Su Ping accepted. He also asked the Purple Python to help Nie Huofeng collect the fruits that were born later.
Su Ping would ask the Purple Python to keep the fruits for him.
Apart from the Void Bug, the Purple Python was the weakest among all of Su Ping's battle pets. Even though its aptitude was at the special-grade, its bloodline restrictions were too great.
It was already unimaginable for him to be as strong as a Star State warrior with a sixth-rank bloodline.
Su Ping asked it to stay there, partly because he didn't think it would be useful in the upcoming battles, and partly because it could suppress Nie Huofeng; he wasn't worried that the guy would get greedy.
After all, if dozens of divine fruits were formed during that time, Nie Huofeng would be tempted to try them, no matter how determined he was.
The problem with the Ancient Beast Tree was that it could only bear a limited number of divine fruits; it wouldn't bear any more once it bore ninety-nine fruits.
Those who consumed the tree would have to eat all ninety-nine fruits in order to reach the Ascendant State!
The Purple Python was already smart enough to stay by Su Ping's side. It bid farewell to Su Ping along with Nie Huofeng, Xie Jinshui, Qin Dudun and his parents.
Su Ping patted the Purple Python's head to comfort it, seeing how reluctant it was to part with him. Then, he said goodbye to his parents and everybody else.
Su Ping returned to Rhea first after he left Blue Star.
Woffett City on Rhea was crowded with people. It had already become the largest economic city in the Kamp Continent. It was several levels higher than before!
"The grandmaster is back."
"Who would've thought that the grandmaster trainer would be a top Star State expert? Tsk, tsk."
"He's probably the strongest pet store owner in history, isn't he?"
"I wonder if we'll ever have a chance to ask the grandmaster to train our pets. I'm almost ashamed to give my pets to him …"
The street outside of the Pixie Pet Store was so crowded that it was almost impossible to stand on it. Many people had even been pushed into the air. The city guards who were responsible for maintaining order on the side of the road were also sweating profusely.
Su Ping didn't want to cause any more trouble. He asked Xingyue Shen 'er and the others to wait in Rhea's atmosphere while he said goodbye.
Then, Su Ping flashed out of the store and entered it.
However, his figure that flashed by caused a huge uproar outside the shop. Countless people were boiling with excitement as they let out earth-shattering screams.
The exclamations were rather chaotic, because many people found that they didn't know how to address the grandmaster trainer.
"You're back …"
Tang Ruyan was pleasantly surprised to see Su Ping. Then, she called out to him with a complicated expression.
Su Ping nodded and said to Green Lady and Joanna, "I'm going to leave for a while. The Universe Geniuses' Contest is about to begin. I want to take part in it."
"Universe Geniuses' Contest?" Joanna mumbled to herself, "Is it the Sacred Battle of Chosen in your world? I heard the voice from the universe. It must've been a Superior God. "
Joanna was rather shocked when she learned that there were Superior Gods in Su Ping's world, but she soon felt relieved. After all, the existence behind Su Ping's store was probably even more horrifying than the Superior Gods. She had never seen Su Ping's world, but she could imagine that it was far more horrifying than she could imagine.
However, after observing the humans who entered the store, she found that their techniques weren't as advanced and tough. She was quite confused, but she didn't ask Su Ping, as she felt that Su Ping wouldn't answer her questions even if she did. Or rather, he wouldn't give a proper answer …
Green Lady nodded. She was a god and had her own way of addressing Deity Kings, but she had also sensed that the voice belonged to a Deity King.
"I'm going too," Green Lady said to Su Ping, "I told you that I wouldn't let you out of my sight!"
"…"
Su Ping was lost for words. He asked, "Are you going to keep pushing the planet?"
"Why not?" Green Lady asked back.
"…"
O 'Neil's face suddenly popped up in Su Ping's head. Sorry, bro, but it seems that your nest is going to be shaken again.
