Many decisions were made and relayed for execution as the meeting proceeded. The entire Celestial Court took action to carry them out.
At the same time-outside of Rheaâs space station-a spaceship had gone through inspection and landed on one of the planetâs continents.
âI didnât know it would be so difficult to visit this place again.â A group of people walked out of the spaceship. They looked at the familiar yet strange planet with mixed feelings.
One of them teased, âThe legitimate owner of this planet was barely able to land on it. That had never happened in the Federation, had it?â
âGood thing the alliance leaderâs father helped. We wouldnât have been given a temporary pass without him; requirements were truly harsh,â said another with a sigh.
âWho can argue with you? According to the news, this is already considered as the Celestial Courtâs capital. It is as impregnable as the Courtâs royal palace in the past!â
âRyan, didnât you say youâd ask Boss Su for this planet? Letâs go there right now,â another man joked.
âGet lost!â
A brawny middle-aged man pushed him away angrily; he was none other than the leader of the Ryan family, which reigned over Rhea in the past. He was also one of Su Pingâs old friends and a member of the battle alliance.
He had been unable until then to get a chance and return to the planet ever since it was pushed across the universe by Su Ping. After that, the young man became famous in the Universe Geniusesâ Contest and rose to prominence. He was too scared to make any sort of claims anymore; after all, a planet was nothing. Being a Celestial expertâs disciple, Su Ping could easily receive a galaxy as a gift.
At the moment, Su Pingâs status was even higher than before. Ryan already considered this planet as Su Pingâs possession; he wasnât intent on trying to take it back anymore.
Besides, the place was his hometown. He too felt honored since it became so prosperous thanks to the boy.
He had benefited a lot from his connection to Su Ping. Many secondary forces in the universe had gotten in touch, hoping to get to know Su Ping through them and gain something out of it.
The tall and intimidating middle-aged man said in the crowd, âStop spouting nonsense; Mr. Su is no longer the junior he used to be. According to what Iâve heard from some Ascendant cultivators, Mr. Su actually killed a Celestial. Itâs said that heâs already a new Celestial State master. Itâs just that it hasnât been made official; the ceremony was postponed due to the current turmoil in the universe. After all, the ceremony is for the entire universe to watch; thereâs no time and energy to do that right now.â

âHe killed a Celestial State expertâŚâ
All of them had heard about Su Pingâs feats while traveling on the spaceship. However, hearing those words again gave them such a thrill their hearts were pounding.
âI wonder if he has the time to meet us right now,â said another member, sighing. However, there was neither jealousy nor disappointment in his voice. Su Ping was already so high above them that they could only look up to him.
A girl interrupted everybody and said, âWeâre about to serve in the army. Letâs go visit him.â
âYouâre the boss, Miss Shenâer.â
âLetâs go there and take a look.â
Everybody agreed. They immediately took a smaller shuttle and flew to one of the planetâs stations. Then, they traveled all the way to Woffett.
Ryan couldnât help but rub his eyes as he watched from the spaceship at the current Woffett City. The place had been completely transformed. Many lofty buildings had risen to scrape the sky. The city had expanded dozens of times over and absorbed many of the neighboring cities, becoming a super metropolis.
âSo many powerful auras.â Xingyue Shenâerâs senses were keen. She wore a solemn expression; there were powerful Ascendant State auras as strong as her fatherâs everywhere she probed in the city. âWhy do I get the feeling that all the people here are battle pet warriors?â The others were feeling the same. They didnât see many of the ordinary people.
Ryan said, âThe ordinary people probably went elsewhere. Moving away is very tempting when experts are willing to pay.â
Everybody understood the logic. Now that all the strong people had been attracted to that place, it was pointless for ordinary folk to stay around. Might as well move to another place where they could enjoy their lives peacefully.
Very soon, they found the most prosperous street in the center of the city.
A warning sounded in the spaceship right then. Flying was not allowed in Woffetâs inner city.
They instantly parked the spaceship in the outskirts and took a car to the inner city. Then, after half a day, they finally made it to a crowded pet store.
âThis is the place.â
âWe have to wait in line?â
âOf course!â
âWeâre not here to train pets, just to see an old friend. I donât think we have to wait in line. Letâs talk to the receptionist.â
They squeezed forward through the crowd. Xingyue Shenâer looked around and climbed the stairs, ignoring the anger in the eyes of customers around her. She asked the girl at the door, âIs this Su Pingâs store? Weâre his friends.â
Tang Ruyan looked at the girl and mumbled to herself, âFriends?â.
Did Su Ping have any friends? Even if he has any, why does it have to be such a cute girl?
âAchew!â
In the store-Su Ping, who had just returned from a cultivation site, couldnât help but sneeze. He rubbed his nose. Whoâs missing me?
At the door, Xingyue Shenâer explained, âWeâll only be here for a moment; we just came here to say hi.â
âJust wait then. Iâll ask him when he returns.â Tang Ruyan glanced at the people behind the girl; she didnât think the girl was lying. Considering how everything had developed to that point, nobody no one would dare to lie there. She didnât think that group of people were bold enough for it.
âThank you.â
Tang Ruyan detected Su Pingâs aura in the store. She instantly said something to those people and entered.
Once she saw him, she relayed the message and then rolled her eyes at him.
âFriends?â
Su Ping was rather surprised. He spread out his senses and immediately saw the people by the door. He was in a trance, as he wasnât expecting to see them.
It seemed to have been a long time; however, Su Ping discovered that they had hardly changed. He instantly went to the door and smiled. âWhat brings you here?â
Everybody was stunned for a moment when seeing him walk out of the store, feeling that they didnât know him anymore.
Xingyue Shenâer was dazed for a moment. She didnât know what to say, so she went for the obvious. âYou really were here.â
âCome on in,â Su Ping said as he invited them to the store.
All of them followed, instantly feeling flattered.
Many times they had pictured how their reunion would be, but now they found it inappropriate to say what they had in mind when they did meet.
Is this the intimidation you attain after killing a Celestial?
Everybody thought about this and gave Su Ping prudent looks. They were both eager and nervous when they talked about the latter on the spaceship. But now only the nervousness remained.
âAre you here to travel around?â Su Ping asked with a smile, trying to lighten up the mood.
âWellâŚâ Xingyue Shenâer felt that her mind was moving in a rather rigid manner. She had seen that a lot of Ascendant State customers were queuing in Su Pingâs store. All of them were as strong as her father.
The man himself felt it more vividly. He noticed the horrifying aura from the beautiful blonde behind the counter the moment he entered. Even though she was making an effort to conceal it, he could still tell that it was impossible to overlook her.
Is she a Celestial too? His heart shivered. He had the privilege of meeting a Celestial expert up close once. The feeling was exactly the same back then.
âWeâre about to serve in the army. We hoped to see you before we go,â said Xingyue Shenâer after a long time hesitating.
There were many words she wanted to say, but she couldnât say them at the moment. She even felt the urge to immediately say goodbye and leave.
âServe in the army?â Su Ping was slightly dazed. He glanced at them, instantly being reminded of the worm tide. He said with a heavy heart, âI can help in relieving you of your duties. You can find a planet and cultivate there.â
Making such an arrangement was but a simple matter for him.
Xingyue Shenâer felt dazed for a moment. She suddenly had a familiar feeling, and her nervousness faded. With a smile on her face, she said, âThat wonât be necessary; serving in the army is our responsibility. Right now everybody is obligated to resist the worms, being such a dangerous moment. We are battle pet warriors, how can we hide behind defense lines like the ordinary people?â
