Chapter 1454 Token of Trust

Su Ping nodded.

The old expert didn’t lie to Su Ping. After all, his species could be found in middle-rank cultivation sites too, which were probably behind other green glass planets.

However, the middle-rank cultivation sites weren’t protected by Ancestral Gods. Who built the green glass barriers?

Or maybe, it wasn’t built by Ancestral Gods?

Su Ping thought about it, but held back his urge to ask. It would be inappropriate to address such a sensitive matter after they had barely become allies, as it was no different from asking a country about their national defense secrets.

“What if I accidentally pass by another green glass planet and find someone else instead? There might be a misunderstanding,” said Su Ping. The humanoid hosts exchanged looks. Su Ping posed a question that revealed an important piece of information, which was that the young man couldn’t choose the green glass planet he was going to visit, like a skill with a random destination. It somehow proved that the green glass could block the senses of Su Ping’s backer. Even if they were truly a Sorcerer Ancestor, their strength had surely declined.

Considering his alliance proposal, and his claim that his hometown had been destroyed, they found him increasingly trustworthy.

“This is simple. Here’s a token of trust. Whichever green glass planet you enter, their inhabitants will treat you nicely once you show them this.” The woman took out a piece of perfectly curved, deep purple metal that looked like a fish scale. It was so smooth that even a fly would slip once landing upon it. It was like a delicate piece of art.

“All I need to do is show this?” Su Ping accepted the item and examined it. Although extremely thin, there seemed to be some embedded structures within, which he couldn’t see through.

“Yes. This certifies our friendly terms, but only if you don’t do anything an ally wouldn’t do,” said the woman.

She didn’t mention that she had recorded some information in the item, which was only readable to her clansmen. It briefly described Su Ping’s identity, just in case that he would try to boss around in other green glass planets, or even attempt to control the planets without any local Selvega, or steal knowledge of her clan.

“Okay.”

Su Ping accepted the item. That would allow him to settle down in that universe with his companions.

Those cyborgs had been overlooked by the Heavens for such a long time. Humans would at least be in a safe place for the time being; Su Ping needed time more than anything else at the moment. It would be safer and more efficient for him to look for other allies when he became an Ancestral God.

“Since we’re already allies, can I take a tour? It would be better if you tell me about the rules and manners of this place, to avoid accidentally offending you,” said Su Ping.

The group conferred with looks. Everyone nodded.

After all, there was a major species behind Su Ping, who needed to be aware of their rules. Otherwise, there was a chance of crossing people and even the start of conflicts. That wasn’t something they wished to see.

“Happy cooperation,” said Su Ping with a smile.

“I hope so,” said the Selvega goddess. She then glanced at Iris and said, “You will be temporarily responsible for taking care of our ally. You haven’t told me your name yet, have

you?”

“Su Ping.”

“All right. If there’s anything you don’t know, just ask Iris.” After that, the woman instantly disappeared, along with the other Selvegas.

The immense pressure declined once they departed, and everybody else was greatly relieved. They were able to breathe again.

Iris, however, wore a troubled expression. Her mother had sent her a telepathic message just before leaving, reminding her not to explain secret matters and to keep a close eye on Su

Ping.

What her mother didn’t know was that she had just been defeated by him. She would probably be helpless if he truly did anything.

After sensing that the Ancestral Gods had definitely left, Su Ping turned around and asked Iris, “Are they all of the Selvegas in your planet?”

The very first question is already this offensive… Iris frowned, but it wasn’t something she couldn’t comment on. She said casually, “Of course not. They’re just some of the Selvegas. They must have reached a conclusion and only some came to inform you. They were also here to check what the invader is like.”

Su Ping corrected her, “I’m not an invader. I’m your ally now.” Iris didn’t respond. She simply asked, “Your hometown was destroyed by the Heavens. Don’t you have a Sorcerer Ancestor backer? How did the Heavens defeat you? Did the Ultimate Heavenly Dao come?” “I don’t know. I was very weak back then,” said Su Ping with a normal expression, “Just now, they mentioned that there are many green glass planets. Why don’t you gather in one place? Wouldn’t you be weaker by splitting up?”

“You want us to gather in one place so we are caught in one fell swoop?” Iris asked, “Have you wandered a long time in the Empyrean?”

“I see.”

Su Ping asked, “How long have you been hiding underneath this green glass sky?”

“A long time. A million years, at least,” said Iris vaguely.

He kept on, “Do you have detailed history records? You even know about the incidents from the age of chaos. You must remember when the Heavens invaded, right?”

Iris glared at him and asked, “Are you an ally or a spy?”

“We’re allies, shouldn’t we be candid with each other?”

“Bah!” Iris said angrily, “How shameless!”

ILI

He was taken aback by the response.

Su Ping didn’t stay in the temple for long. He asked Iris to show him around in that green glass planet.
