"There was once a strange store in the heyday of deities."
The sutra elder spoke with a complicated expression. "The store trained various sorts of beasts and sold them to experts. None of the people who visited the store were turned down. So, a glorious period arrived; there were countless Deity Emperors back then, and even people who were even stronger…
"An unimaginable being was overseeing the store; nobody had ever dared to cause trouble in the store. There was once an incident where nineteen Deity Emperors attacked the store together, but all of them were suppressed…
"Deities declined because of the incident, and were thus unable to protect themselves in the catastrophe that followed. That was the ending of all deities…"
The old man looked at Su Ping and added, "Maybe the store wasn't destroyed, but was passed on, and you're the new heir it has picked…"
Su Ping was stunned for a moment; he didn't really know that part of the history.
