Astral Pet Store

Chapter 847: Fate State

Michelle was in the Hera Planetary System, which was the second largest in the Silvy Galaxy.

It was a tier-1 planet that had a good prosperity ranking, being one of the top ten planets in Silvy. Michelle’s business taxes could compare to the GDP of some small planetary systems!

Michelle was quite enormous and had a population of several trillion. It had 22 continents, each being the size of seven Rheas and a hundred Blue Planets!

Not the old Blue Planet, but the new one, in its unsealed and expanded form!

All galaxies seethed with excitement when Mu Shen’s announcement was spread across the universe; there was a carnival on Michelle, a place where everybody loved fighting.

Michelles’ natives were of the aggressive sort; they would always have the greatest number of participants in every Universe Geniuses’ Contest in the galaxy. The most appalling point was that they would also have the greatest number of winners!

The Amir Royal Academy, one of the four best academies, was located on the Paratian Continent, which was the most prosperous continent of all.

While everybody on Michelle was celebrating, a blue ball of light flashed out of the darkness of space and rushed over.

Underneath the atmosphere of this planet, in a store inside a crowded city—

The clouds that blocked the view were suddenly gone, revealing the top of a magnificent mountain.

Boom! Boom!

Humming noises came from a young man on the mountain, as if thunder were rumbling inside his body.

The young man was none other than Su Ping.

His torso was exposed, as he was only wearing a pair of short pants. His muscles were obvious, but not bulging, seeming to be strong in a contained way.

Lightning and flames were bouncing on his hair; he was shrouded in a strange energy field.

Several men were gazing at Su Ping from a palace in the distance.

“Your Highness, is Lord Su really just advancing to the Fate State?” one of the God Warriors asked in fear.

Not just him, another few God Warriors also looked at Joanna at the center.

Those God Warriors were in the Star State, and the Major Gods were as strong as Star Lords.

However, they felt threatened by that Lord Su, who hadn’t even become a God Warrior yet. His pressure was so enormous that even they felt wary.

“Yes...”

Joanna let out a nasal sound unconsciously; she was quite solemn at the moment. Not just the God Warriors, even she who had fought in the Demigod Burial for years felt that her blood was curdling. She thought that her clone might no longer be Su Ping’s match after his advancement.

Unless, she were to use forbidden skills. But such skills would produce a backlash and destroy her body!

Such a storage is too much, even for my titanic celestial state to bear... Joanna’s eyes twitched. The energy inside Su Ping’s body was horrifying. Not just the Void State, even those in the Star State could have hardly endured it, but Su Ping had weathered it through!

Joanna believed that it had something to do with Su Ping’s cultivation methods and his ancient body-tempering skill.

The aura of ancient Golden Crows left a deep impression on her. She didn’t know where he had gotten the long lost constitution, which gave him a huge capacity.

Su Ping’s cultivation methods were also a source of puzzlement for her. She felt that they were even more mysterious than her own.

“He has grasped a hundred laws, yet he’s only in the Void State...”

“Oh my god, I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

“No wonder he gets to stand alongside Her Highness...”

All the God Warriors wore troubled faces. They were not jealous, because they would rather not frustrate themselves by trying to compare themselves with such a genius.

They wondered if this Lord Su was the clone of a certain God of Rules, if not a Superior God.

A noise suddenly came from the divine mountain just then.

There was a boom, and the force field around Su Ping became violent. The power of laws that carried their original features—such as flames, lightning and ice—twisted the space around Su Ping, making it as chaotic as a big bang.

“He’s about to advance!”

Everybody felt refreshed after seeing that.

In the next moment, all the power of laws was condensed on Su Ping and wrapped around him like threads. At the same time, the illusion of a fiery bird emerged on his back and soared to the sky, shrieking.

The illusionary bird flapped its wings and attracted all the nearby energy, turning them into a furious pillar of energy that wreathed Su Ping.

“He’s still absorbing the energy...”

“...”

They were all lost for words; Joanna was equally stunned.

Su Ping’s body began to evolve under the magnificent energy. His cells were vibrating. The features of the laws learned entered his cells, separating his flesh from his bones. He seemed to have been torn apart, but no blood was shed.

His skeleton was entirely separated from his flesh.

His veins were nimbly floating like snakes too.

In the next moment, the independent flesh, veins and bones were reassembled, and all the energy in the environment was compressed in his body.

The energy was gone, and Su Ping’s new body was exposed after being reassembled. He was much taller than before, with a flawless body figure. His skin was as fair as that of a girl, yet it glowed with divine power.

Su Ping opened his eyes where thousands of stars seemed to be flashing. They were so brilliant that he seemed to be like an immortal that was independent from the secular world!

Phew!

Su Ping breathed out gently. He felt the abundant energy inside his body; he could not help but put on a smile, clench his fist, and punch at the sky.

A golden fist aura was pushed out. After traveling thousands of meters in the void, it bashed the array that locked the mountain and shattered it!

The scene was dumbfounding for the God Warriors near Joanna.

The array had been established by the God Warriors and Joanna together. Even if ten top God Warriors had attacked together, it would have taken them some time to destroy it. Yet, Su Ping had shattered it with one punch?

And he was only in the Fate State?

“...”

Joanna was lost for words too. She withdrew her gaze from the shattered arrays and looked at Su Ping. She loosened her fingers, secretly comforting herself that she was a God of Rules, and that she would very likely become a Superior Good when the time came when Su Ping fulfilled his promise and took her to the Archean Divinity.

She had been ahead of Su Ping for a long time. That guy couldn’t possibly catch up to her... or could he?

“I have established a bridge that connects the sky and the earth. This feeling...”

On the mountaintop—Su Ping looked at the shattered array with a smile. He felt that he was much more closely connected to the sky and the earth.

At this moment he could enter the deeper spaces as easily as he could lift a curtain.

The moment he advanced to the Fate State, he had actually reached the very peak of the level.

He was almost halfway in the Star State!

Many people would reach that level when they vaguely grasped the power of laws.

They had mostly perceived the laws when they were more familiar with nature. They wouldn’t have such a deep understanding when they had just set foot in the Fate State.

“I feel like I can enter the Star State any minute. It’ll be very easy with my understanding of laws.” Su Ping smiled. Having swallowed a hundred fruits of law, he had gained a new understanding on the workings of laws.

What was the power of laws?

Laws were order, and how things in the world functioned!

Laws were like the routes the being who constructed that universe followed.

Everything had to follow their respective route. For example, planets needed to absorb sunlight, human beings needed to eat and defecate. Those were the basic laws.

Su Ping had long heard that the Star Lords could create small worlds, accumulate power of faith, and kill enemies with the power of faith instead of the power of laws.

However, Su Ping had a strange thought after eating the fruits. He wondered about what would happen if he used the laws in reverse. Would they lead to destruction, or result in something else?

Su Ping intended to find out, but he detected the auras far away. He turned around and saw Joanna. Then, he flashed towards her.

As for the God Warriors, Su Ping sensed that even though they were stronger than they looked, it seemed that he could still squeeze and kill them easily.

Earlier, when he just entered the Demigod Burial, the God Warriors were still unreachable beings that he had to look up to.

“How long have I been in seclusion?”

Joanna came back to herself and said expressionlessly, “Two months.”

“That long?”

Su Ping was stunned. He had never stayed in a cultivation site for two months in one go.

“I wonder if we’ve reached our destination...” Su Ping’s eyes flashed and he intended to find out. He said to Joanna, “Let’s return to the store.”

“Sure.”

Joanna accepted.

...

More and more vessels emerged in space and flew towards Michelle.

As the Universe Geniuses’ Contest was jus about to begin, they were all going to Michelle to sign up.

“It’s finally begun!”

“I can’t wait any longer! I wish I could meet the guys from the Amir Royal Academy.”

“Hehe, me too. The Amir Royal Academy refused to admit me. I’ll show them that I’m strong and they failed to recognize it!”

“Indeed!”

On a spaceship, a couple of young men were talking. They wore the same uniform, which indicated that they were students from a senior academy on a planet nearby. The academy wasn’t one of the best, but it had high requirements too.

“Look, what’s that?”

“What the heck?”

Soon, someone noticed that an enormous object was glittering and approaching their spaceship.

As it got closer, everybody widened their eyes.

Was it... a planet?

A planet or a meteorite?

Someone couldn’t believe their eyes and quickly blinked, soon recognizing that it was a planet, because there were seas on it. The contours of cities were also visible.

However, why was this planet moving like a meteorite?

Also, was it heading towards their spaceship?

Everybody on the spaceship was scared when the planet moved closer without decelerating.

The mentors on the spaceship changed their expressions too. One of them roared, “Hurry! Go to Michelle’s space station! If it heads towards Michelle, experts will show up and destroy it!”

The pilot panicked, but quickly complied.

Very soon, the engines of the spaceship were fully activated and changed its course. But right when they dodged in panic, the planet slowed down and approached Michelle’s space station at a lower speed.

Then, the planet came to a halt. It didn’t revolve or get any closer to Michelle.

It didn’t seem influenced by Michelle’s gravity. Instead, it slowly followed Michelle as it moved in space.

“What’s going on?”

The spaceships nearby were shocked too, and so were the staff on the space station, as they had never seen such a thing.

...

On Rhea, countless people across the globe saw the enormous planet above their heads.

The planet was so vast that everybody was stunned.

Where had they drifted to this time?

Very soon, a powerful thought spread out of Michelle and shrouded Rhea.

Everybody on Rhea sensed the intimidating thought that felt like a giant looking down at them. They were terrified, feeling like insignificant ants.

At the same time, Green Lady narrowed her eyes coldly and responded with a thought of her own.

The first thought was a cold question.

The Green Lady’s thought was a cold reply.

Sensing Green Lady’s thought, the first thought retreated after a moment of silence.

If someone in the Ascendant State pushed a planet like this for fun... there was no way to restrain them.

That was the freedom and privilege of the Ascendant State.

If a Star Lord would have done that, they would have been taught a lesson about what rules and law meant!

In the following days, everybody who left for Michelle noticed the planet that was outside of its orbit. They were all curious, not knowing what it was about.

Some even speculated that it was a small celestial body that someone on Michelle had created.

However, they were soon distracted by the sign-up process for the contest, and nobody had any time to care about the weird planet any longer.

On this day, Su Ping returned from the Demigod Burial back to his store.

“You’re back.” Green Lady observed Su Ping solemnly, and amazement emanated from her eyes.

After such a short amount of time, she felt like Su Ping had been reborn.

Su Ping was a genius in the first place. He was the man whose combat ability was the most disproportionate to their level that she had ever seen. However, he seemed even more monstrous at the moment.
