Chapter 1074: Return

Considering the resurrection cost, is the Source World actually a place much more terrifying than the Archean Divinity?

Su Ping was surprised as he speculated.

He was also slightly puzzled; the Source World was not one of the system's available cultivation sites. The Archean Divinity was already on the top of the sites' list.

According to the rules of the system, the ticket fee for the Source World is at least a million energy points. It's a hundred times the cost for the Archean Divinity…

Su Ping couldn't help but click his tongue. A hundred times the cost of the Archean Divinity… What did it mean?

Heather had previously said that someone had tried to cut that world apart!

It was similar to slashing the Archean Divinity, right?

Considering the strength of cultivation sites themselves, the guy could have cut the Archean Divinity a hundred times over!

Ancestral Gods should be at the top. Was that invincible expert in a realm beyond that of Ancestral Gods? Even so, they were still too strong. Who could have stopped them from achieving their purpose?

Su Ping had always thought that Ancestral Gods were the strongest. He was still far from that cultivation realm. He was dumbfounded and driven to despair upon learning that there were beings dozens of times stronger than Ancestral Gods.

How long exactly was the path of cultivation?

"Why is the Source World not listed amongst the other cultivation sites?" asked Su Ping.

If the cultivation site were available, he would have been able to train countless powerful pets in it.

The system didn't reply to Su Ping, as if it would have disappeared.

He tentatively cursed the system—

Very soon, the system gave him a warning.

Su Ping felt rather gloomy.

So, the Source World might really be the center of all worlds. No wonder it's possible to access it easily, even from the Demigod Burial as long as you have perfected laws…

But why was Anna not attacked? Did they happen to miss each other?

Su Ping raised his eyebrows, finding the occurrence strange.

The Source World, which the system had yet to subdue, might contain deeper secrets.

Also, the thing that looked like a finger squeezed and killed him easily as if he were a worm.

"Right, my body was in the Demigod Burial, wasn't it? I should've been charged for the cost in the Demigod Burial, right?" Su Ping asked. He was not suspecting that the system had ripped him off; he only wanted to know the reason why.

"But you died in the Source World," replied the system briefly.

Su Ping was rendered speechless. Was it because his consciousness was erased in the Source World?

He felt rather regretful. Even though he had a lot of customers and daily revenue, the resurrection cost was still too expensive for him.

"Were you attacked?" Joanna asked, while looking at Su Ping's constant change of expressions. "By the guardian of the Source World?"

"I didn't see them completely, but probably…" Su Ping wasn't sure. After all, he had been killed by a mere finger.

Nearby, Heather seemed to be very frightened. "Did you meet them? The guardian of the Source World is usually not as ferocious. Also, I think it's not easy to run into them, unless what you're doing is a threat to the Source World…"

She had a weird look as she spoke.

Could Su Ping be a threat to the Source World?

"A threat?" Su Ping thought had not done a thing. Was touching the lighting path a violation? But what was the point of entering the Source World if I can't touch other laws?

It was like opening an adult video without doing anything else. Wasn't it torture?

Joanna also had a weird look. Obviously, she didn't consider Su Ping a threat to the Source World, either. Besides, he had merely cultivated in the Source World. That other guy shouldn't have interfered.

Su Ping should have been considered as nothing more than a grain of sand to the Source World.

"Do you want to take another look?" Heather encouraged Joanna.

Joanna didn't consider it a big deal. She was very curious about the Source World's guardian too, whom she had heard so much about but never seen.

As time went by, all the ancient stories remained unconfirmed and sounding surreal.

"Don't. You'll die too if you meet them. No need to die for nothing," Su Ping hurriedly stopped her.

The Source World was too special; he didn't want to waste his energy on it.

Heather's eyes glittered. It was a great exploring opportunity; she didn't think that Su Ping was simply wishing for Joanna to be safe; she could see an obvious expression of regret on Su Ping's face.

It seemed that resurrections aren't costless, she thought to herself.

Still, she didn't want to figure out what the exact cost was; she simply wanted to grasp more information.

"It seems that the ancient legends are true. The Source World has indeed been cut off in the past. That is why it's being defended." Joanna was slightly surprised that Su Ping had stopped her, but she didn't do anything reckless.

"What kind of monster could have cut apart the Source World?" Su Ping glanced at them. "Was the Archean Divinity destroyed by a similar being?"

Heather was stunned. She shook her head. "Our intruders were even more terrifying. Also, it wasn't just an individual, but a whole group of them. They weren't from the same species…"

"Huh?"

Su Ping was confused. Is this Superior God mistaken?

"Are you sure? Whoever is able to cut off the Source World could have cut the Archean Divinity with ease, right?" asked Su Ping.

Heather looked at Su Ping in surprise. "Why would you imagine such a thing? The Archean Divinity was born from chaos and existed for a long time. Nobody could have cut it apart; it was defended by Ancestral Gods anyway…"

She suddenly realized why Su Ping asked the question, and explained, "You got it all wrong. The Source World can be cut off because it's insubstantial; you only need to cut apart the countless paths found within. Ancestral Gods are already capable of doing such a feat. Even someone like me is able to cut off some parts of the Source World.

"I believe it shouldn't be hard to cut apart the Source World with one strike when I rise to higher levels, or become an Ancestral God."

She looked at Su Ping and added, "Ancestral Gods are the strongest beings in the entire world. They're invincible!"

"Then why was the Archean Divinity destroyed in the end?" Su Ping asked back.

However, what Heather had said made him realize that he probably had a misunderstanding somewhere.

According to the system's rating, the Source World was indeed better than the Archean Divinity. It was very likely the center of all worlds anyway; however, cutting the Source World was not a hundred times more difficult than cutting the Archean Divinity. So, even if the invincible expert was strong, he couldn't have been a hundred times stronger than a group of Ancestral Gods.

If that were the case, he could have destroyed the top worlds such as the Archean Divinity with one strike. He wouldn't have needed to cut apart the Source World at all, simply opting to blow up each and every world, one by one.

"…"

Heather was rendered speechless by Su Ping's question. In the end, she simply said, "It's because we were invaded from all sides; the Ancestral Gods were held back by other experts too."

Su Ping didn't argue with her; it was pointless to discuss something that happened in the past. He wouldn't know for certain unless he became an Ancestral God and traveled in the river of time to find out what really happened.

For him, his top priority at the moment was to strengthen himself.

He looked at the remains of the tree, which was only a stump leftover, then thought for a moment. He decided to leave it there, even though it might take countless years for the tree to grow up again; he probably wouldn't need it anymore by then…

If Heather only knew what was on his mind, she would probably burst into fury again; it would be like spraying salt and pepper on her wound.

Didn't you know that it wasn't yours?

Did you see the state you left it in?

"Do you have other treasures I can make use of immediately, like this one?" Su Ping asked Heather curiously, blinking with innocent-looking eyes.

Heather had goosebumps all over her body; she had never felt as much pressure from a senior before. "No. The other items are still unusable for you. This is one of my favorite and most precious treasures."

"One of…?" Su Ping mumbled.

Heather almost vomited blood. What is the meaning of that?

But Su Ping didn't insist; he couldn't just rip her off anyway.

"Let's go," Su Ping said to Joanna.

Although the trip wasn't all smooth sailing, it was quite rewarding in general. Instead of seeking the opportunity for a perfect path from the four Superior Gods, he had grasped the perfect path of fire through eating.

All in all, he had obtained more than he originally expected.

"You're heading back?" Heather slightly changed her expression, but was soon back to normal. "Will you come here again?"

"Of course." Su Ping looked at her strangely, obviously aware of what she was implying. His expression seemed to be saying, 'do you think I'm scared of you'?

Heather was actually relieved to see his expression. She nodded and said, "About returning to the Archean Divinity…"

Su Ping waved his hands, not giving her a clear reply.

Heather knew she was being too hasty. She heaved a sigh and said, "I will welcome you in person next time you visit."

"Let's talk about that later."

Su Ping didn't say anything else, and called Joanna over.

Joanna hesitated for a moment, then looked at Heather. "Take care of my things. I'll come back."

Heather nodded, knowing she was asking her to take care of her subordinates.

After Joanna was done, Su Ping communicated with the system, then chose to return in advance.

Soon, a vortex appeared, enshrouding both Su Ping and Joanna, making them disappear in front of Heather.

Heather was stunned as she watched them leave. She vaguely detected a terrifying aura radiating from the vortex, as if something indescribable were standing in the middle of it. It was even more awe-inspiring than the Supreme Temple!

"Is this how they leave?"

Heather didn't expect Su Ping's departure to be as simple and straightforward. She never saw him communicate with anyone; it looked as if he were controlling the whole thing.

"That bigshot is indeed watching over him all the time…"

Heather felt a chill; the vortex made her understand that the bigshot was someone with an overwhelming strength, far above her. Even if she had the help of Shivalello and the others, it would be impossible to win.

After all, none of them had the power to travel away from the Demigod Burial that easily.

That place was like a prison to them!

However, I can't be the only one paying for our return to the Archean Divinity…

Heather couldn't have looked more regretful as she gazed at the leftover stump of the Divine Eye Tree.
