Chapter 832: News of the Blue Planet

“You can go to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead?”

Green Lady’s eyes widened. She asked, “Do you know the way to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead? How is it possible? It’s already lost, and the way to get there has also been. You’re too weak to go there…”

Suddenly, she stopped, and her body shivered. There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

She would have laughed at Su Ping if she hadn’t seen Joanna or that shop which blocked her detection. However, she found that Su Ping was rather enigmatic at the moment.

Maybe, could this young man indeed have a solution?

Maybe, something in the world had changed while I was asleep.

Maybe the formerly inaccessible realm has returned to the universe!

She became nervous again upon thinking that.

Joanna couldn’t help but observe Green Lady after hearing Su Ping’s proposal.

She’s not Su Ping’s supporter?

Did he really trick her into coming with him?

The Chaotic Realm of the Undead… Isn’t it a world like the Archean Divinity? How could its path be cut off? What kind of being could have done that?

That was the ultimate destiny of all the creatures in the universe!

However, Green Lady didn’t seem to be lying.

Joanna felt puzzled about it. At least, she had never heard of that during her years of fighting in the Demigod Burial.

Is it because of the war that took place in the Archean Divinity earlier?

She thought of many things and fell silent.

Tang Ruyan, however, was absolutely confused. She vaguely realized that they were talking about something incredible, but she couldn’t make heads or tails about it.

Am I so weak that I can’t even understand what they were talking about?

Tang Ruyan glanced at Su Ping in frustration.

“I have my own method, don’t worry about that. There’s no need for me to trick you,” said Su Ping sincerely.

Green Lady looked at his brilliant smile in a trance. If he does have a method, doesn’t this mean that I’m only one step away from reviving the Twilight Deity King?

“Can we go there now?” asked Green Lady quickly.

Su Ping shook his head and said, “Not now. You must be an employee of this store first and then work hard to be acknowledged as an Outstanding Employee. Then you’ll have the privilege of going there.”

“What’s all that about? I can give you all the pills from the divine residence! Take me there now!” said Green Lady quickly.

Given the importance of the matter, she was not interested in listening to any employee blabber, at all.

Is he kidding?

Why can’t I go there without being an employee, and an Outstanding Employee, no less?

Joanna, however, looked weird. Is he pulling the same trick again? Well, she was quite familiar with that. Is he serious, or just blatantly lying?

Is it a trick, just like how he promised to take me to the Archean Divinity?

She became somewhat suspicious. However, remembering Su Ping’s performances in the Demigod Burial—especially his ability of infinite resurrections—she realized that it was something that even the Superior Gods weren’t capable of. Whoever was backing him had to be an unimaginable being, and there was no need for him to trick her like that, was there?

“It has nothing to do with the divine pills. This is just the standard procedure. Only by distinguishing yourself as my employee will I be able to take you there. I can’t explain the reason to you. Anyways, that’s the rule!”

Su Ping spoke in a tough tone and added, “Senior, you’ve waited countless years, you can afford waiting a while longer, right? If you work hard, you’ll probably become an Outstanding Employee in a couple of months.”

Green Lady was dead serious at the moment.

She could afford the long wait when she didn’t have a direction, but every second became torture after a glimpse of hope.

“Can I just give you all the divine pills for a chance to go there?”

“No.”

“…”

Green Lady was lost for words. The divine pills were so tempting that even Golden Deities would have gone crazy about them, yet Su Ping simply ignored them. Do the pills not even amount to one employee?

“Fine, I accept.” Green Lady gritted her teeth and compromised.

She vaguely realized that there seemed to be some kind of plot in this.

For instance, becoming an employee might be a trap.

Otherwise, Su Ping wouldn’t have been so persistent.

“Great.” Su Ping was a lot more relieved to see that she had been persuaded. This pill deity would have to stay inside the store if she worked as his employee, and he could count on her Ascendant State help.

However, her condition was special. If anyone recognized her while she was outside, all the Ascendant State experts in the Federation would probably chase after her.

Even though Su Ping could keep her safe in the store, he wouldn’t want all of them to be holed up in the store until he reached the Ascendant State.

That would take too long.

He might consider this if he only had to reach the Star State.

After all, it was a piece of cake for him to break through. He could take that step immediately if he wanted to.

“System, draw an employee contract for me.”

“Okay,” replied the system quickly in a perky tone.

It became increasingly clear to Su Ping that the system was not a machine but a living creature, and a very cunning one…

“Humph!” a snort echoed.

Undoubtedly, it came from the system.

It was peeping into his mind as it had always been.

Very soon, an employee contract appeared in Su Ping’s storage. He took it out and read it; it was identical to the slave contract… no, employee contract that Joanna had signed.

“Okay, sign here with your soul aura,” said Su Ping.

Green Lady narrowed her eyes; she detected a subtle, intangible power that was beyond her understanding on the piece of paper.

She became even more surprised; she had traveled a lot of worlds with the Twilight Deity King in the past, but she had never seen anything like that.

“For sure, you’ll truly take me to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead?”

“Certainly. The girl next to you is working for me because she wants to go to the Archean Divinity. She’s already an Outstanding Employee, but I’ve been too busy recently. I’ll take her there when I have the time,” Su Ping nodded at her.

Briefly stunned, Green Lady glanced at Joanna and then asked Su Ping, “You have access to the Archean Divinity too? Hasn’t the path there been cut off too?”

“Oh, is that so? I’m not sure, but I can go there either way,” Su Ping shrugged and said.

Joanna gazed at Su Ping but kept silent.

Green Lady glanced at Su Ping and was silent for a moment. Then, she released her soul aura and signed the contract.

Her heart died when she saw the Twilight Deity King’s body shatter. If Su Ping hadn’t said that the invaders would capture and eat her, she would have attacked them without caring about her own life.

She held back simply because she didn’t want the guys who ruined his senior’s body to benefit.

“Okay,” said Green Lady.

Even if the contract was a trap, she was fine with it. She had originally planned to help Su Ping become a king and let him search for the Chaotic Realm of the Undead anyway.

“Huh?”

A golden light flashed on the contract and then disappeared. Green Lady then sensed that there was something additional in her head. Soon after, she heard an old and awe-inspiring voice.

It was more like some sort of will rather than a voice!

The will was inviolable and untraceable. Even though she had seen many dignitaries along with the Twilight Deity King, she felt frightened in front of that ancient will.

She had the feeling that the will could destroy her soul completely!

What kind of being is that?

Very soon, the will informed her of some rules.

Those were rules that an employee should follow.

In addition, there were also the duties that an employee should carry out.

She was shocked for a long time after accepting the will. There was astonishment in her eyes when she regained control of herself and looked at the young man.

Is that being his backer?

Green Lady was no longer as suspicious. She had felt that the ancient will’s presence was even more horrifying and unimaginable than that of Deity Kings!

Is it an ancient Deity Emperor?

Deity Emperors were masters of the deity realms and equal to the “Heavens.”

Su Ping then saw the new employee in the store menu too.

All her detailed information had been listed, including her skills, cultivation, and the usages of her body…

Well, that was all the system’s work. Su Ping had nothing to do with it.

She’s a divine pill that contains the Air of Chaos! Su Ping was rather amazed. He didn’t know that she had been made with the chaotic energy when the universe came into being. No wonder she could help with advancements!

“Starting from today, you’ll be an employee in this shop. I’m the boss here, and I would like to thank you for your help in advance,” said Su Ping courteously.

Green Lady had saved him multiple times. Although she had become his employee, he still respected her.

She replied with complicated feelings, “Got it. If I become an Outstanding Employee… you won’t go back on your word, would you?”

“Of course not. You’ll be free to go anywhere, as stipulated on the contract. You can even go to the Archean Divinity if you want to,” said Su Ping solemnly.

Green Lady nodded and put on a smile, which almost brightened the entire shop as if snow were thawing in spring. “I’ll do my best.”

“Yes.”

At this moment, Su Ping was again worrying about the catastrophe in the divine residence. Although he was safe in his store, there were countless innocent people on Rhea who had nowhere to go.

Also, besides Rhea, the entire Zeruprun solar system had a huge population too.

“Mia’s family rules over Zeruprun; I should inform them.” Su Ping remembered Mia, who had been to his store several times; she had told him her family name. Su Ping looked them up via the Lord Badge and found that her family had reigned in that planetary system for ten thousand years!

The leader of her family had lived even longer.

The last Lord of Zeruprun had been ousted due to a violation of federal law, and the Laiyefa family replaced them.

Beep…

“Huh? Boss Su?”

The call soon went through, and Mia’s surprised and delighted voice was heard, accompanied by another female voice. “Mia, who is it? You seem so happy. Is it your boyfriend?”

“Ah, no…” Mia was speaking to the girl on the other side of the phone in a shy tone.

Su Ping could already imagine her reddened face. He couldn’t help but cough and say, “It’s me. There’s something important I need to tell you.”

Mia became calm again and then asked Su Ping, “What is it, Boss Su?”

Su Ping said solemnly, “You know about the recently-opened divine residence, right? Something happened there; I just ran back to my store. There’s a terrifying thing inside the divine residence. I don’t know if it can escape, but it probably will. You’d better ask your family to investigate the matter and take countermeasures accordingly.”

“Huh?”

Mia didn’t expect Su Ping to talk about the divine residence. She thought he would talk about pets. After a moment of shock, she asked, “Boss Su, are you serious? But didn’t three Ascendant State experts enter it already? Even if there’s something in there, they should be able to suppress it, right?”

Su Ping was at a loss for words. Those three guys were exactly the cause of this disaster. What could they suppress?

“Probably not. I’m not sure of the details. You’d better ask your family to investigate as soon as possible,” said Su Ping solemnly. He didn’t mention the Heavenly Pit’s level of danger, as this would expose how far he had explored in the divine residence.

Besides, even if he said how dangerous it was, she might not believe him; after all, he only impressed her as someone with a Star State cultivation.

The family backing her was led by a Star Lord and had countless Star State members; they wouldn’t be intimidated by a Star State alarmist, and would only send investigators to check on the matter.

With that in mind, Su Ping didn’t confess everything he knew; those people would find out everything once they went there.

“Well…” Mia hesitated. Her position in her family wasn’t important. There were plenty of members in the Laiyefa family, and more than a million of them were considered elites. She was strong, but she wasn’t qualified to ask for attention from her family.

Also, should the alarm be false, it would bring great trouble to her and her parents, who might be lambasted by the other branches of the family.

“Mia, did you just say Ascendant State? What’s going on?”

“Sister Offit, the thing is…” Mia quickly informed her of the situation.

“Seriously?”

“Yes, that’s what Boss Su said. He’s a grandmaster trainer; I don’t think he’s lying.”

“A grandmaster trainer… Okay, I’ll contact my father and ask him to look into it.”

“Thank you, Sister Offit.”

“Don’t thank me. If the alarm is true, we’ll be in great danger…”

The two girls talked on the other side of the phone. Then, Mia suddenly realized that Su Ping was still waiting, so she quickly apologized. Su Ping didn’t feel bothered; he had nothing else to worry about since the matter had been reported.

Once he hung up the phone, Su Ping thought for a moment and entered the alliance via the Lord Badge.

However, the meeting room was absolutely empty.

…Were they all eliminated?

Su Ping’s lips twitched. The Tree of Laws was still in the hands of their leader. It was true that women were obstacles in men’s growth…

Su Ping exited the badge’s virtual network; he heaved a sigh and suddenly remembered O’Neil. The guy was in her small world and had probably died too. If so, wouldn’t Rhea be unowned at the moment?

Then, wouldn’t he be able to pick the Transcendence Fruits free whenever he wanted?

Su Ping could exploit the Ryan family in any way he wanted if O’Neil was out of the picture.

He had also grown much stronger that he could defeat O’Neil and rob him silly if he ever returned.

However, being a civilized man, he preferred not to rob, unless he didn’t have a choice…

“How is the pet contest going? Have we reached the finals yet?” Su Ping asked Tang Ruyan.

Tang Ruyan woke up from her absentmindedness. Seeing the care in Su Ping’s eyes, she felt warm and nodded. “Almost. You’ve been away for a week. The finals will be held soon.”

“A week?” Su Ping was stunned, as he thought he had returned in only half a day.

Did the time flow at a different speed?

Su Ping realized that a day in one place might mean a week in another.

“All right, you can go and receive the customers.”

Without giving much detail, Su Ping said to Tang Ruyan, “Senior Green Lady is new here. Teach her if she doesn’t know how things are done.”

“Okay.” Tang Ruyan nodded obediently.

Su Ping was quite unaccustomed to her obedience. He found it weird that she wasn’t arguing with him.

He currently had three employees, two were official, plus a temporary one. So, he could finally retire. He sat on the couch and checked the updates of the alliance on the Lord Badge.

A piece of news was pushed to him right at that moment.

“Huh?”

Su Ping shivered and sat straight when he saw the title.

Who Will Claim the Mysterious Tree on the Blue Planet, Human Beings’ Ancestral Home?

Su Ping clicked the title and instantly saw paragraphs and pictures.

The Blue Planet in the news was exactly his hometown!
