Chapter 1064: Disobedience Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations “Young human, you’re crossing the line!” Shivalello—the god seated at the center—frowned and said, “This is the Supreme Temple. Nobody is allowed to shout or scream here. We’re just trying to be safe; I don’t think anyone is happy to hand out their lives to someone else. Would you do that? I don’t think so!” Su Ping’s eyes were indifferent; he was no longer as friendly and modest as before. He replied with a cold tone, “First of all, I didn’t shout, or scream; my voice wasn’t any louder. You only found it offensive because you couldn’t accept a human being questioning you! “Secondly, were I you, I wouldn’t easily give my life’s control to someone else, either. But like I said, you have the other option! “Lastly, you need to realize that you need my help on this matter, not the other way around. I’m here in the pursuit of true knowledge; if you’re unwilling to offer it, so be it. I have alternatives!” The faces of the godly trio didn’t look good after Su Ping’s statements. Heather, who stood by Su Ping’s side, was also frowning. She was observing Su Ping carefully; he gave her a completely different impression from the friendly and ever-smiling human she had taken there. He had also seemed quite plain and ordinary for that same reason. Weaklings were always friendly. They had no edges. However, Su Ping was radiating with such brilliance at the moment that she was rather astonished. Could a Celestial God really be that bold? Even though Su Ping had a true powerhouse as backer, it was quite impressive for him to remain calm under the Superior Gods’ pressure, and even challenge them! The temple was momentarily caught in a quiet and awkward atmosphere. None of the Superior Gods spoke. Anger surfaced on Eborr’s face; he wanted to scold Su Ping but he held back, knowing it would very likely ruin their homecoming chance. Shivalello opened his mouth unhurriedly a long time later. “Young human, do you know how difficult it is to receive the attention of an Ancestral God? I know you’re remarkably talented, but that’s not nearly enough. Even beings of our level would have difficulty in getting their attention.” Su Ping realized what he was implying; the guy thought that the second option was a long shot, while the first option was too risky. Su Ping no longer cared to argue or say anything else. He naturally knew how difficult it was to pique the interest of an Ancestral God! Even so, he was still working hard! Would he give up just because it was difficult? He had traveled a long way to acquire knowledge, partly because he wanted to fight for the legacy, and partly because he wanted to become stronger. He would definitely attract some attention when he returned to the Heaven Path Institute if he could condense three small worlds. After all, the young mentor who had taught him was only an Ascendant State expert that had triple small worlds. His talent would surely garner attention if he managed a similar feat while still being a Star State warrior. But he didn’t tell them about his plans, as he no longer deemed necessary to talk to them. It was obvious that those gods had yet to figure out that they were the ones who needed him. Their attitude reminded Su Ping of the Rain Clan in the Archean Divinity. They were so condescending that even if they made a request, it would sound like they were doing a favor. Maybe that was just the pride of gods. But… I don’t have time for that! Su Ping turned around; he was about to leave without saying another word. All the Superior Gods changed their expressions as they saw this. They didn’t expect that Su Ping would ignore what Shivalello had said, and simply choosing to leave. Wouldn’t they lose their only chance of returning to the Archean Divinity if Su Ping left? “Young human, you…” “I have a name!” Su Ping paused, but didn’t look back. He said with a solemn and cold tone, “I introduced myself at the very beginning of our meeting; not once did you call me by my name. Maybe all humans are the same for proud gods like you. But we do have different names!” All of them were stunned for a moment. Avril, despite her usual coldness, surprisingly asked a man to stay once he saw him about to leave. “Don’t go just yet.” “There’s a saying among humans: Men of different beliefs should remain separated. Farewell.” Su Ping didn’t look back or stop; he straight off walked out of the temple. Joanna’s expression was changing constantly; from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that Su Ping could stay and discuss matters with the Superior Gods. It had been her lifelong dream to return to the Archean Divinity. However, the meeting had fallen through right after it started. Her feelings were a mess. She wanted to talk to him, but she knew that the man was just as proud as any god. “You…” Joanna angrily looked at the three Superior Gods and gnashed her teeth. “I believe you owe him an apology!” Her statement caused changes in the gods’ faces. Dazzling flames seemed to be bursting out of Eborr’s eyes. “Anna, remember your identity! Don’t mistake our indulgence for unlimited tolerance!” Shivalello, the god seated in the middle, ignored Joanna and said to Su Ping as he was seeing himself out, “Young human, we’re very sincere too; you’re being too hasty. I hope we can all sit down and talk in peace.” He spoke in a slow and irrefutable manner. Su Ping didn’t look back. However, he saw that the distance between him and the gate remained the same, even though he kept walking forward. He stopped and coldly stared at the three Superior Gods up above. “Sit down and talk? You have been sitting here, while I’ve been standing all this time. Did you mistake my friendliness for meekness? “I called you senior out of respect— “But that doesn’t mean I’m scared of you!” Avril frowned. Even she was unable to make Su Ping stay. The young man had left a terrible impression on her, but she didn’t show any of it, because she still needed his help to return to the Archean Divinity. “What do we have to do to let you help us?” asked Avril. Su Ping narrowed his eyes and said, “You people are lousy negotiators. I would have tried my best to help you, even without you asking me, all for Anna’s sake. However, you’re turning this into a deal. Unfortunately for you, the things you can offer are available elsewhere. Just let me leave while we are still talking peacefully, and I’ll consider that nothing happened today.” The three Superior Gods frowned, still silent. They became calm a few seconds later. Shivalello said, “Sorry for our lack of manners. Mr. Su, could you forget what happened? You’ve come here for the pursuit of knowledge, and we’ll surely try our best to teach you.” “Indeed. Let’s discuss true knowledge first. We can talk about returning to the Archean Divinity later,” said Avril in a peaceful tone. Su Ping frowned a bit; their quick change of attitude puzzled him. He looked at Joanna, only to find that she was wearing an awful expression. He immediately asked her with his eyes. Joanna glanced at Su Ping, then bit her lips. They had been partners for such a long time that there was no need for telepathy. Su Ping got his answer just by looking her in the eye. Those Superior Gods had indeed frozen space and time to discuss something while leaving him out of it. They had imprisoned him and plotted right in his face. Su Ping couldn’t help but burst into fury. He took a deep breath and said to Joanna, “Let’s go!” Joanna hesitated and struggled for a moment. She could have hinted that Su Ping’s guess was wrong, but she didn’t do that; she didn’t want to lie to him. “Young human, what’s the meaning of this?” All the three Superior Gods were enraged after hearing what Su Ping said. They had already given in and apologized for their lack of manners.?And yet, this human is still not letting us off? “Nothing. I will say it one more time, let us go!” Su Ping’s eyes were cold. He had hoped to study under the four Superior Gods and increase his understanding of paths. He didn’t expect such treatment, which left him both infuriated and disappointed. Eborr stood up from his throne and yelled, “How bold of you!” Su Ping almost laughed out loud.?How am I bold anyway? “Aren’t you Anna’s best partner?” said Avril. She stopped hiding her feelings; her face was as cold as ice. “Helping us would also mean that you’re doing Anna a favor. Anna, talk some sense into him.” Su Ping felt like laughing, but he couldn’t. He then looked at Joanna. She lowered her head; her expression couldn’t be seen clearly. She seemed to have made some sort of decision when everybody gazed at her. She raised her head and declared to the Superior Gods on their thrones, “I want to return to the Archean Divinity. It has always been my dream! However, I won’t force my friend into a dilemma; I suggest you let us go right now, or I will fight my way out, even if my blood has to be spilled in this temple!” Dazzling light burst out of her eyes as she talked, and a golden divine power surged, turning her clothes into an armor set. A golden spear appeared in her hand too! All the Superior Gods changed their expressions after her declaration. “Anna, we’ve been accommodating because we appreciate you, since you have fought for our sake.. Do you honestly think you’re as strong as us?” asked Shivalello loudly, while imposing an unparalleled pressure.
