Picking Up Attributes From Today c1-406

  Of course, what was the most important here was still the Tower of Time. That thing was a treasure that even Chief Gods would covet. It was hard to guarantee that others wouldn’t try to seize it from him.

  Meng Lei took Ambrose’s spatial ring after he was done with reading his memories. Although the skeletal dragon was just his demonic incarnation, he had nevertheless carried quite a fair amount of treasures on him.

  The spatial ring had an astonishingly huge capacity, and one couldn’t even see to the end with one glance. It was evident that an existential plane fragment had been sealed within it, which was why there was such a huge space inside.

  Piled up inside the vast and boundless dimension were innumerable densely-packed treasures.

  There were mountains of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, mountains of elemental crystals, and mountains of god and demon dead bodies.

  There were also various highly valuable herbs, magic materials, divine weapons, magic crystals, and so on.

  All the treasures gave off strong, surging power of divinity energy waves, and every one of them was a priceless treasure. Meng Lei couldn’t stop staring at them right at first glance...

  “I’ve struck gold! I’ve struck gold this time!” Meng Lei was practically drooling as he said, “System, collect the Divinity Crystals and the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. Take everything that can be taken!”

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

  His Wealth began to spike madly!

  .2 million Divinity Crystals... 9.3 million Divinity Crystals...

  10 million Divinity Crystals... 11 million Divinity Crystals...

  In under ten seconds, his Wealth had increased by a whole 14.2 million Divinity Crystals and spiked dramatically to a total of 23.3 million Divinity Crystals. Not only had it made up for the previous 3 million Divinity Crystals spent, but he had even gained an additional 9 million Divinity Crystals and more!

  He had undoubtedly made a profit!

  “Robbery is the best way to gain riches indeed!” Meng Lei was filled with great emotion. Then, he continued to check out the treasures inside the spatial ring.

  The space inside the spatial ring had been considerably freed up after he collected the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and Divinity Crystals.

  Meng Lei then transferred and stored the elemental crystals in the spatial ring into the Tower of Time. With that, the spatial ring became even more spacious.

  “Next up are the god and demon dead bodies.”

  Meng Lei picked out dead bodies of intermediate deity-level and above for his own use and gave the true god-level and lesser deity-level ones to the little golden tree.

  Yep, I’ll take the good ones while you take the dregs. Good for me, good for you, and good for everybody!

  What came after were the vast amounts of herbs and magic materials. These things were of no use to Meng Lei, so he naturally gave them all to the little golden tree for its enjoyment instead.

  Without the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, god and demon dead bodies and remains, herbs, and magic materials inside, the space inside the spatial ring became even wider and more spacious.

  Meng Lei could also see the contents more clearly now—among the few treasures left, the most dazzling one was undoubtedly a pile of colorful divine cores. There weren’t a lot of them, but they nevertheless added up to a considerable quantity of a few tens of thousands.

  Chapter 318: Dealing With The Dragon God, Mid-End Existential Planes

  “Who would have thought that things would turn out like that!”

  The Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God floated in the air a great distance away. Both were sporting exceptionally awful looks on their faces. The scene unfolding before their eyes had completely exceeded their expectations.

  Not only had Meng Lei broken through in the midst of battle, but he had even slain the Great Demon God-level Abyss Skeletal Dragon.

  Just what kind of combat strength was that?

  After a long period of dead silence, the Titan Spiritual God was still the one that chose to break the silence first. He asked, “What should we do now, Haylem?”

  Meng Lei’s breakthrough had given him a huge sense of crisis. Not only had he offended Meng Lei before, but he even owned territories that amounted to over 100 existential planes!

  Would Meng Lei even let him off?

  “Now that things have come to such a pass, we have no other choice now.” The Beast God sighed and said, “We can only offer him our sincerity and maintain friendly relations with him.”

  “Maintain friendly relations with him?”

  The Titan Spiritual God’s facial features twitched, wishing that he could throw a punch at the Beast God and kill him.

  Not only have you never freaking offended Meng Lei before, but you also own only a few territories! If you curry a little favor with him, maybe he’ll let you off.

  But what about me?

  Would he let me off?

  ...

  “Lord Ambrose has actually died!”

  The Dragon God was also filled with immense shock and horror. He had fantasized about the operation’s various possible outcomes but never had he ever thought that the final outcome would turn out like this.

  All 50 Dark Demonic Dragons had died, and even Ambrose, who was a higher deity, had also died!

  They had been annihilated!

  Just how fierce and desperate had the battle been?

  Meng Lei gazed at the Dragon God, who was floating in the sky all alone. He said leisurely with a smile, “O Your Holiness the great Dragon God, you probably never imagined that things would turn out like this before you had descended upon Heaven’s Vault Continent with Ambrose and the others, right?”

  “L-lord Meng Lei!”

  The Dragon God gave him a smile that looked worse than a grimace. He trembled like a leaf and shook in his boots.

  “Don’t worry. You won’t be able to escape even when they’re already dead.” Meng Lei said dispassionately, “Let’s go and have a little tour around your divine nation. I’ll send you on your way, too!”

  “My d-divine nation?”

  The Dragon God shuddered all over. At once, he dispelled his divinity projection and vanished into the air. He had to make his escape and leave as soon as possible!

  In the event that Meng Lei successfully locked on to his divine nation’s location via his divinity projection, he would be totally finished and would never have the chance to ever make a comeback again.

  “Dodola, you should have locked on to the Dragon God’s divine nation by now, right?” Meng Lei asked calmly.

  “Don’t worry!”

  Dodola smiled and replied, “The Dragon God’s divine nation is in the cluster of floating continents right outside Heaven’s Vault Continent. It’s very near Heaven’s Vault Continent!”

  “Wonderful!”

  Meng Lei nodded slightly. “Bring me there!”

  “Alright!”

  ...

  Outside Heaven’s Vault Continent was the boundless Void. It was a place like outer space. There were no magic elements and no air there. The only things there were turbulent, havoc-wreaking space-time fluxes and meteors with only dead silence around them.

  Some of these meteors were bigger than even continents. Hence they were also known as floating continents. There was a densely-packed cluster of them right outside the Heaven’s Vault Continent existential plane.

  Much like asteroid belts that orbited around the sun, these floating continents also orbited around the Heaven’s Vault Continent existential plane. They orbited in a messy and disorderly manner yet did not interfere with one another.

  “Most deities would usually choose floating continents like these to build their divine nations on.”

  Dodola explained, “Not only are these floating continents exceedingly tough and sturdy, but they are also extremely huge, hence making them exceptionally wonderful places to build divine nations on.”

  Meng Lei nodde
d slightly. When looking at them from afar, the floating continents looked just like meteors. However, when one went nearer, they would realize that some of them were astonishingly huge and were therefore indeed very suitable to build divine nations on.

  “The best place to build divine nations on aren’t floating continents, though.” A smiling Dodola said, “Make a guess—where’s the best place to build a divine nation?”

  Meng Lei raised an eyebrow at the question. After a moment of musing, he answered, “Although a divine nation is a deity’s base, they are still a world in essence. Rather than paying a huge price to modify a lifeless floating continent, one might as well just directly occupy a material plane instead.”

  At this point, Meng Lei frowned and added, “The only inadequacy is that material planes are too small. They don’t seem to be able to house that many worshipers.”

  The main purpose of a deity’s divine nation was ultimately to house their pious worshipers’ souls after their deaths and reconstruct bodies for them so that they could continue to provide power of faith for them. At the end of the day, it ultimately still couldn’t get away from the three words “power of faith”.

  By developing a material plane into a divine nation, one would be able to dispense with an infinite amount of modification work, of course. However, material planes were only that big. They might be sufficient for true gods and lesser deities, but for intermediate deities and especially for higher deities, they were indeed too small. There wasn’t enough space.

  One must know that higher deities usually owned almost 100 existential planes’ worth of power of faith domains. How many worshipers died each day? Over the course of hundreds and thousands of years, how many worshipers would die?

  How could a material plane possibly house all of them?

  Therefore, material planes were certainly suitable to be used as divine nations, but they were too small!

  “Bingo, material planes are indeed ready-made divine nations. You need only to refine the Heart of The Existential Plane, and you’ll be in absolute control in your existential plane.”

  A smiling Dodola said, “There are certainly issues about insufficient space in the case of material planes. Therefore, that makes mid-end existential planes the most perfect places to build divine nations on!”

  “Mid-end existential planes?”

  Meng Lei was a little taken aback.

  “Yes, mid-end existential planes!”

  Dodola smiled and explained, “All things are classified into various grades and ranks, and the same goes for existential planes. There are half-planes where laws of nature are flawed and incomplete, low-end material planes where laws of nature are whole, as well as vast, boundless high-end existential planes.

  “However, in between low-end material planes and high-end existential planes exist also the mid-end existential planes.

  “Mid-end existential planes are inferior to high-end existential planes in terms of the vastness of size, richness of magic elements, and laws of nature’ degree of clarity, but are far superior to low-end existential planes.

  “And the most important factor,” Dodola turned to Meng Lei with a shrewd glint in its eyes, “There are far more mid-end existential planes than high-end ones. In fact, as long as you can afford it, you can even buy mid-end existential planes, as well as their seeds!”

  “Y-you can buy them?”

  A huge jolt went through Meng Lei.

  “Of course! However, they are very hard to find.”

  Dodola let out a sneaky laugh and said, “My master, the God of Time, managed to buy a mid-end existential plane seed back then and subsequently nurtured it into his divine nation. Its size is easily a million times that of a low-end material plane’s!”

  “A million times?” Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. “How big must that be?”

  “Very big! Extremely big!”

  A smiling Dodola said, “Thus, the value of a mid-end existential plane is priceless. Most typical higher deities can’t afford them, even if they were to spend their whole fortune. Mid-end existential plane seeds come slightly cheaper, though, but they still aren’t something that the average higher deity can afford, either.”

  “What a shame! I can’t afford one.”

  Meng Lei couldn’t help but sigh. He was just a higher deity born in a native existential plane. In terms of family fortune, he was definitely the poorest among the higher deities!

  Buy a mid-end existential plane?

  He wouldn’t be able to afford it even if they chopped him up and sold him in bits and pieces!

  “You don’t need to buy one,” Dodola gave him a mysterious smile, “Have you forgotten that I have a high-end existential plane seed in my hands?”

  Meng Lei rolled his eyes and replied, “Of course I remember that. Didn’t you say that I was too weak and not qualified enough to nurture that high-end existential plane?”

  “That was then, but this is now.”

  Dodola smiled at him and said, “Back then, you were just a tiny little Saint Domain. Naturally, you wouldn’t qualify. But you’re already a higher deity, so the time has come!”

  “Do you mean to say that I can nurture that high-end existential plane seed now?”

  Meng Lei’s eyes lit up like light bulbs. After all, it was said that high-end existential planes could nurture Chief God divine cores!

  Chapter 319: World-Breaching Transfer, Spatial Laws of Nature

  As the name indicated, high-end existential plane seeds were things that could grow and mature into high-end existential planes.

  Once fully nurtured, Meng Lei would gain a high-end existential plane and world similar to high-end existential planes like the ten major Divine Realms, the Demon Realm, the Abyss, and Hell.

  Additionally, high-end existential planes were also rumored to produce Chief God divine cores!

  A Chief God divine core!

  How precious a supreme treasure was that?

  It was the only proof that could show that one had become a Chief God!

  Without a Chief God divine core, one could forget about becoming a Chief God, no matter how astonishing and talented they were.

  Thus, Meng Lei naturally had his heart extremely set on nurturing a high-end existential plane seed.

  Meng Lei asked rather eagerly, “Where’s the high-end existential plane seed, Dodola?”

  Dodola gave him a mysterious smile and flapped its wings at the grasslands beneath its feet. Then, a peach-like object broke through the ground and flew right up to the duo.

  The “peach” wasn’t very big, and fascinating patterns covered its surface. Just like a normal peach, it was simple and unadorned, with absolutely nothing extraordinary about it.

  Meng Lei took it from Dodola and asked excitedly, “So, this is a high-end existential plane seed?”

  “Yes, that’s right. This is the high-end existential plane seed that the God of Time had obtained using his life in exchange,” replied Dodola with a slight nod as a hint of grief and sorrow flashed across its eyes.

  “I offer my thanks to the noble God of Time.”

  Meng Lei sighed. Then, he asked, “Dodola, how do I nurture this thing?”

  “All the current existing high-end existential planes had formed naturally. Therefore, no one knows exactly how to go about nurturing this existential plane seed.”

  Then, Dodola added with a frown, “However, I know the way to nurture a mid-end existential plane seed. You can reference it a little.”

  Meng Lei hurriedly asked, “How do I nurture it?”

  “By using your power of divinity!”

  Dodola explained, “Existential plane seeds are in hibernation mode in the beginning. However, they are capable of absorbing power of divinity. Thus, you can use your power of divinity to nurture the seed.”

  “My power of divinity?”

  Meng Lei did as Dodola instructed. He held the existential plane seed in his hands, summoned a power of divinity droplet, and sent it towa
rd the seed.

  The existential plane seed was initially like an inanimate object and didn’t look much different from an ordinary peach. However, as Meng Lei activated his power of divinity, the seed seemingly also sensed it. A devouring force emanated from its surface and absorbed the power of divinity droplet in Meng Lei’s hands.

  As though a stone was sinking into the ocean, the absorption of the divinity droplet’s power elicited no response from the existential plane seed. In spite of that, Meng Lei was overjoyed. The fact that it had absorbed the power of divinity indicated that the method was indeed effective.

  “Again!”

  Meng Lei released quite a few power of divinity droplets in succession, which the existential plane seed devoured without fail. However, it still elicited no other response from the seed, and the seed didn’t show any changes.

  “Again!”

  “Again!”

  Soon, the 200 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity that Meng Lei usually had stored up were fully depleted. Yet, there were still no changes in the existential plane seed.

  “As expected of a high-end existential plane seed. It has an astonishingly huge appetite indeed! This is great!”

  Meng Lei took a deep breath. He wasn’t that concerned about it. Were it that easy to nurture it, it wouldn’t have been a high-end existential plane seed anymore.

  “You saw that, right? It’s absorbed so much of your power of divinity, yet there’s no reaction whatsoever.”

  Dodola joked, “Now you know how difficult it is to nurture that thing, don’t you?”

  Meng Lei nodded and replied, “It’s certainly very difficult. Looks like I’ll have to do my best to earn more money now.”

  “Earn more money?”

  Dodola was confused by his words.

  “Because only by earning more money will I gain more power of divinity!”

  The duo chatted idly as they traveled. At last, they arrived in front of a floating continent.

  Dodola pointed at it and said, “The Dragon God’s divine nation is in the internal structure of this continent.”

  Meng Lei released his divine cognition and let it permeate into the floating continent’s internal structure. True enough, he found a divine nation there. At once, Meng Lei brought Dodola with him and teleported inside it.
