Chapter 1358 - Food Crisis (1)

Chapter 1358 Food Crisis (1)

It was done just to make him an example for everybody else!

Everyone was shocked by Su Ping’s intimidating and blunt declaration. Su Ping only killed Hei Huang to threaten us?

They suddenly felt that Hei Huang didn’t deserve to die.

However, on second thought, they probably would’ve tried to establish dominance too if it were them. Hei Huang, being the rebel, was undoubtedly a suitable choice.

Han Ji’s eyes were wide as saucers when he heard that, overwhelmed by disbelief.

Master was killed just to threaten others?

To think that a Celestial expert had died such a worthless death. He felt miserable; the whole thing was absurd to him. Also, he was terrified of Su Ping.

After that, Su Ping looked at the silent conference room and said coldly again, “Who else’s got a problem?”

Everybody looked at each other in bewilderment. They were still shaken by how Su Ping killed Hei Huang; none of them dared to speak recklessly.

The Celestial experts who had previously acted angrily were at the moment showing normal expressions. Even their eyes glittered; it was as if they had never been enraged.

“If you have a problem, just say it. If you don’t, do as I say. Since you’re here, my master, Chi Huo and Xu Kong will make arrangements for you. You can discuss matters with us, but we’ll have the final say. Understand?” said Su Ping.

Everybody felt gloomy. One of the Celestials said, “Aren’t ten days a little bit hasty? We are a huge star zone with countless planets and solar systems. We can’t leave anyone behind; it’ll take more than ten people to evacuate them all!”

“It’ll certainly take much longer if they are to travel on their own. But who says you’re just going to stand by and watch?” Su Ping looked at them coldly. “Considering your capabilities, it shouldn’t be hard to concentrate the people in your star zone and help them migrate here, right? The small world of an Ascendant is already enough to accommodate the population of a planet. I didn’t ask you to move all the habitable planets here!”

“But if that’s the case, there will be people unwilling to come. After all, many people’s assets are in real estate back on their planets…” said someone in a low voice.

Su Ping chuckled and said, “You’re talking about assets in a moment like this? Everything will be reshuffled after the catastrophe, including the rigid social classes on those planets. Try to compensate for those assets. You’ve made enough profits before; isn’t it time to give something back?

“Also, you must ensure that everybody in your star zone is safely evacuated. If I find out that you abandon large groups of ordinary people and only keep the elites, you will certainly regret it.”

Everybody looked somber after hearing Su Ping’s threat. A Celestial said, “Those useless people should be abandoned at times like this. Food will be a major problem for us if they all move here. We are indeed able to make stuff out of nothing with laws, but that will consume our power. It’s not like we can produce food for them like cows every day.”

“Even if we’re willing, we won’t be able to make enough food for such a population. Famine will strike!”

“Indeed. That’s truly going to be a problem.”

The other Celestials nodded in agreement.

All of them had tacitly accepted Su Ping’s demand to join forces in ten days.

It was a foregone conclusion in any case; nobody was willing to take the risk. If Su Ping could kill Hei Huang, he could naturally kill them too. In particular, Su Ping was so arrogant that they didn’t feel important or rare in his eyes. It seemed that he didn’t need them at all.

“We have food. It’s possible to turn those worms into our food,” said Su Ping with a frown.

“The worms we’ve hunted are not enough. Besides, their bodies aren’t edible, more so if you’re trying to feed the ordinary people,” said one of them.

Shen Huang and Chi Huo also frowned. So far, they had been considering how to establish the alliance. Since everybody had accepted it under Su Ping’s threat, they had to consider the real problems after the alliance was established; food was definitely the primary topic. All of them found it challenging. Without sacrificing some civilians, since a lot of soil and fertile planets would be abandoned, it would be impossible to sustain all the population of the universe with the local food produced by the Celestial Court.

Su Ping suggested his idea, “We can change the worms’ bodies with laws and make them edible. However, it’ll be quite troublesome.” He, too, knew that food and resources were among the greatest problems during war. However, it was inevitable; such problems wouldn’t go away even if they were to fight separately.

– It was all because every star zone would shrink their defense lines, abandoning a huge amount of territory and planets. By then, they would have to cope with food shortages.

Since the population would be concentrated in one spot, the problem would take place even sooner.

However, the good thing about the concentration was that the sacrifices would be reduced and the odds of resisting the worms would be higher.

“This is a good idea. However, even the normal Ascendants may not be able to transform the bodies; we’ll have to do it ourselves. Transforming with laws should be easier than making food out of nothing. We can’t enter the battlefield because of the alien hiding among the worms, but we can’t let the guys who are weaker than us to protect us either. We must do something.”

Chi Huo agreed with Su Ping.

What’s not to love about my new life after transmigrating into a Pet-centered world? There are mighty creatures that come in all shapes and sizes. They can either be cuddly companions, helpers in your daily life, daring scouts or strong fighters. Or all of the above. Not bad, huh? I have a family, but the fact is completely overshadowed by my younger sister. She thoroughly hates my guts, and she makes sure that I know this. Every. Single. Day. Did I mention that she’s disgustingly talented while I am a bottom feeder? A terribly handsome one at that. I have free rein to run the family business on my own. A small and quaint Pet Store. It should have been great if not for the fact that the previous owner of this body was born with ZERO affinity to handle Astral Pets… It wouldn’t be a proper transmigration without a gimmick or a system to pave my road to greatness, don’t you think? I have one, but I don’t know if I would be better off without it…
