“There’s a saying back home, ‘To live is better than to die’.” Meng Lei laughed. “Plus, so what if it’s a remnant soul? There will always be a way to restore it.”
“You don’t even understand!” Moro shook his head. “Without enough immortal essence, my remnant soul will never be restored!”
“Immortal essence?”
Meng Lei broke into a slight frown.
“Do you know what’s that? That’s a kind of substance that will never decay, get destroyed, and not even the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process can erase it.” Moro said slowly, “Across the entire universe, there are only three types of immortal essence that I know of, the three great powers of genesis. Yes, the powers relating to the three great genesis laws of nature.”
Meng Lei fell silent.
The three great powers of genesis are part of the immortal essence?
Now isn’t this too difficult to obtain?
“So you can imagine how rare and precious the immortal essence is.” Moro continued self-mockingly. “Therefore, I’m destined to never restore my soul!”
“Indeed, the immortal essence is extremely rare. But, there’s still a chance.” Meng Lei suddenly smiled. “Once I comprehended the genesis laws of nature, wouldn’t I possess the immortal essence by then?”
“You? Comprehend the... genesis laws of nature?”
Moro clutched his belly as if he had just heard a superb joke and laughed out loud for quite a while. When he had enough laughing, he cut his smile.
“You? The genesis laws of nature? Are you an idiot sent by a monkey?
“So you’re looking down on me?”
Meng Lei smiled.
“Stop joking. If it’s those four Supreme Juggernauts who have already comprehended one supreme laws of nature, I might believe them. After all, they do have hope for the genesis laws of nature. As for you...”
Moro sneered. “Forget it!”
“What if I tell you that I had comprehended the spatial, destruction, and life laws of nature? Though it’s just superficial knowledge for now.”
Meng Lei chuckled.
“Gah...”
Moro was in a daze as he looked at Meng Lei. “Kid, you sure you’re not joking?”
“Where’s the need to?”
Meng Lei laughed softly and opened his right palm. Three laws of nature chains appeared in his palms—a gray one, a purple one, and a green one.
Gasp!
A jolt went through Moro as his eyes widened, and he stared at Meng Lei as if he had seen a ghost. “S-spatial laws of nature! Destruction laws of nature! Life laws of nature! You really comprehended the three great supreme laws of nature!”
“Not three, it’s four, there’s still the time-based laws of nature,” Meng Lei corrected.
“Ah yes, four! Oh gosh! How could someone manage to simultaneously comprehend four great laws of nature? How is that even possible? This is too inconceivable!”
Moro was frightened. He gasped and looked at Meng Lei as if he was a monster.
“Okay, okay, stop gasping already. This is nothing,” said Meng Lei. “Once I completely comprehended the genesis laws of nature, you can be excited all you want, okay?”
“Oh, you don’t understand, young fellow.”
As an existence that stood at the very pinnacle once, Moro calmed down soon enough.
He looked at Meng Lei with a complicated look and explained, “The supreme laws of nature are extremely complex and profound. This makes them really difficult to comprehend.
“Don’t mention comprehending one supreme laws of nature for a normal deity since they don’t even have the talent to comprehend five basic laws of nature. These things require lots of talent, after all!
“One type of supreme laws of nature is already so difficult, let alone four types? Who knows how you managed to do it!”
“Hehe, that’s just talent, nothing else,” Meng Lei said in a showy manner.
“Indeed! This is true talent!”
Moro nodded slightly and continued. “Still, I just couldn’t get over the fact that you comprehended four types of supreme laws of nature. It’s simply too wasteful of your time. An era may seem long, but when it compares to comprehending the supreme laws of nature relatively, it’s still too short.
“I’ll suggest that you choose two among the four. Either you choose time and space for the route of space-time laws of nature or choose life and destruction towards the destiny laws of nature.
“If you were able to comprehend a type of supreme laws of nature before the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process, you should be thankful already!”
“You don’t have to worry about this.” Meng Lei had a confident smile. “I won’t give up any of the three great genesis laws of nature. My target is to become the legendary Primordial World Genesis God!”
“You’ll regret it, young fellow.”
Moro was rather displeased, but as he thought back on his relations with Meng Lei, his anger was suppressed. Still, he reminded, “Coming from experience, I don’t want to see you waste your talent like this. Just do as I say, and you’ll thank me later.”
“Perhaps!”
Meng Lei was not too hung up over it, so he returned to the previous topic. “Now tell me your plan. Are you continuing with him or coming with me?”
Meng Lei would not care about any other ordinary beings, but the person before him was different. That was an old antique that had survived that previous era! His experience, cultivation knowledge, comprehension in laws of nature...
That’s a treasure right there.
He had to bring him along.
This time, Moro did not reject directly as he fell silent.
“Why? Still hesitant?” Meng Lei raised an eyebrow. “You should know clearly that there’s no future if you follow this hopeless chap.”
“And that means following you has a brighter future?” Moro asked with a bored voice.
“Of course!” Meng Lei gave him a proud smile. “I am confident that I can completely comprehend the time-based laws of nature within ten years and all four supreme laws of nature within 100 years.”
Moro was startled and could not help but laugh. “Kid, what do you treat the supreme laws of nature as? Elementary school multiplication table? Ten years to comprehend time-based laws of nature? I’ll say you’ll be good enough when you fully comprehend it in ten million years!”
“Ten million years? That is way too long.”
Meng Lei laughed. “You might not believe what I’m about to say, but I’m not even 45 years old yet!”
(⊙_⊙)?
Moro was dazed. “45 years old?”
“Hehe, you can ask around if you like.”
Chapter 378: A Heaven And Earth Phenomenon, Appearance of Chief God Divine Core
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Dragon-Elephant City’s Governor Residence...
Dowa Caesar woke up leisurely. He then realized that the hall was empty and that Chief God, who had suddenly visited, was gone. Dowa Caesar had lingering fears as he felt that he had almost died.
“Oh gosh! Did I just meet a Chief God? That’s just hard to believe!”
Dowa Caesar patted his chest. His heartbeat had never been pounding so intensely before. “Moro! Has that Chief God left? Did he do anything to you?”
There was no response.
“Moro? You there?”
Dowa Caesar called out again, but there was still no response.
“Moro!
“Moro?
“It can’t be! Moro!
“My cheating device...”
...
Moro was gone.
It plunged Dowa Caesar into total desperation as Moro was his everything. He was only a piece of turd without Moro. He just could not imagine what he would face next.
Moro had left with Meng Lei. After learning Meng Lei’s actual age, Moro did not hesitate anymore and promptly followed Meng Lei.
&n
bsp; Seriously!
He had already comprehended four supreme laws of nature by the age of 45 years old.
Was he really human?
He was an absolute freak!
Even if the Primordial World Genesis God had a reincarnation, it would be nothing more than that.
In Moro’s eyes, Meng Lei’s probability of comprehending the genesis laws of nature and controlling the Power of Genesis was great.
Whether Meng Lei would save him in the future could be left for another time.
Yes, I must build good relations with him first! As for the rest, I’ll take one step at a time!
Meng Lei continued his search for Divinity Crystals as loads of them entered his spatial ring, expanding his wealth massively. This act greatly puzzled Moro.
“You’re already a mid-level Ancient God, so why do you need to steal treasures from normal deities? These treasures shouldn’t be valuable for the current you, right?”
“You don’t understand.”
“I don’t?”
“You really won’t understand!”
Moro was fuming, but he could not do anything to Meng Lei.
Plunder!
Plunder!
Plunder!
Despite Meng Lei’s unprecedented looting speed, the Dragon-Elephant City was just too huge.
A month passed...
Two months passed...
Three months passed...
The plundering continued.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Moro was fed up upon seeing how ‘frivolous’ Meng Lei was.
“Kid, we are almost halfway past this era, and you’re still over here wasting time. You’re simply wasting your life away!”
“Wasting my life?”
Meng Lei took a peek at his Wealth on the stats interface and revealed a satisfied smile. The massive wealth he had was worth his hard work.
“Kid, what you need to do now is to find a place to comprehend the supreme laws of nature properly, not wasting your time like this. Understand?” Moro tried to persuade him.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.” Meng Lei rolled his eyes. “You can relax, old man. Rather than idling with so much time, why don’t you help me guide my subordinates?”
Meng Lei glanced at the bored subordinates following behind him. They were like frozen eggplants, withered and spiritless1.
“A bunch of fellows who refined divine cores to become higher deities, there’s nothing more to their future. Guiding them would be the actual waste of time!” Moro huffed. “I still believe you must find a quiet place to comprehend the supreme laws of nature—”
“Enough, enough. You better return to the Tower of Time since I’m going nuts because of your nagging!” Meng Lei shooed Moro back into the Tower of Time.
“Disaster is nearby if you don’t listen to your elders, kid. You’ll regret it later!”
Moro was so angry that he wanted to put a bomb in Meng Lei’s groin.
Boom!
Just then, a terrifying wave of pressure coming from afar swept across, along with dazzling multi-colored light beams.
The air in some distance away was painted in rainbow colors; even Dragon-Elephant City glowed colorfully.
“What’s going on?”
Meng Lei looked toward the beams’ direction.
Ol’ Amos, Puhaman, Bubbles, and the rest shuddered as they regained their spirits, each of them looking at the air in the distance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The deities in the city were alarmed by it, and they flew into the sky to check the situation.
“What has happened over there?”
“Did you all sense that? Such... Such pressure!”
“I felt that. Even from afar, it makes me palpitate.”
Meng Lei frowned and looked into the distance with a solemn look. If Puhaman and the rest could sense it, he felt it even clearer.
Somewhere far away, someone or something emanated a terrifying aura, which even made Meng Lei feel pressured.
That was incredible as he was a mid-level Ancient God. What could have pressured him?
“This aura... Tsk, another bloodshed is coming!” Moro flew out of the Tower of Time and gloated.
“Do you know what’s happening over there?”
Meng Lei looked puzzled as he looked at Moro.
“Hoho, across the vast universe, nothing can be hidden from me!” Moro boasted.
Meng Lei was rendered speechless. “Then tell me what can give off such a powerful aura?”
Moro asked instead of replying, “You’ve refined a Heart of The Existential Plane, right?”
“Of course!”
Meng Lei nodded lightly.
Moro chuckled and asked, “If you sense it carefully, isn’t this aura similar to one of a Heart of The Existential Plane?”
“The Heart of The Existential Plane?”
Meng Lei sensed the aura for a while before he exclaimed, “Indeed, this aura is pretty similar to a Heart of The Existential Plane. Perhaps it’s coming from Earth Divine Realm’s Heart of The Existential Plane?”
“If it’s the complete Earth Divine Realm’s Heart of The Existential Plane, you’d be lying on the floor right now. There would be no way you could still be standing here.” Moro shook his head. “If I’m not wrong, this aura should be coming out from a fragment of the Heart of The Existential Plane.”
“Fragment?” Meng Lei was surprised. “The Heart of The Existential Plane can be broken?”
The Heart of The Existential Plane was made up of ten basic laws of nature and ten kinds of Power of Origin, which was indestructible. Even at Meng Lei’s level, he could not simply break low-end existential planes’ Heart of The Existential Plane, not to mention Earth Divine Realm’s Heart of The Existential Plane, a high-end existential plane’s.
“Young man, across the entire universe, other than the immortality essence, there’s nothing else that can be everlasting!” Moro shook his head slowly. “Plus, it’s different from those of low-end and mid-end existential planes since it’s almost never complete.”
“Never complete?” Meng Lei was surprised. “Why so?”
“Who knows? They were never complete, that’s for sure!” Moro smiled slightly. “Oh yes, I think there’s a name for the Heart of The Existential Plane of a high-end existential plane.”
“What?” asked Meng Lei.
“Chief God divine core.”
Moro looked at Meng Lei with a ghost of a smile.
“Chief God divine core!” Meng Lei was utterly shocked. “You mean, the thing that emanated such aura is a Chief God divine core?”
“That’s right,” Moro replied with a smile. “If I’m not wrong, it’s an unowned divine core that just came into existence. Or else, it wouldn’t have caused such a ruckus.”
“Since it’s a Chief God divine core, why didn’t you say it earlier?”
Meng Lei was mad as he placed Ol’ Amos and the rest into the Tower of Time before activating the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique to shoot toward the direction.
A Chief God divine core!
That was something that could give him a meteoric rise!
Even if he did not assimilate it for himself, he had to obtain it first!
Chapter 379: The Manro Empress, Man And Wife Become Enemies
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was a desert that stretched far beyond one’s vision. The endless sea of sand gave off an aura of desolation, dead silence, and sweltering heat and stretched on to the end of the skies.
The Great Pompeii Desert!
This was the biggest desert in the Earth Divine Realm and the whole wide universe!
None could compare to it!
A ten-colored 'sun” hung high above the Great Pompeii Desert.
The sun radiated an infinite number of multi-colored rays of light that fell upon the land, dyeing the boundless yellow sea of sand in colors and turning it i
nto a sea of colored lights.
The people living in the desert were the first to notice the natural phenomenon. Among them, the strongest faction to have occupied the Great Pompeii Desert for years on end was the Desert Manro Nagas.
The Desert Manro Nagas were half-human and half-snake. They had a human’s upper torso but a snake’s lower body. Due to being extraordinarily gifted and having a strong reproductive ability and owing to the Great Pompeii Desert’s naturally favorable living environment, Desert Manro Nagas tribes could be found all over the desert.
Apart from that, as innumerable desert divine beasts inhabited the Great Pompeii Desert, the desert was also heaven for the adventurers. Every year, innumerable adventurers ventured to the Great Pompeii Desert to hunt divine beasts and earn Divinity Crystals.
Thus, the multi-colored sun immediately caught the attention of the Desert Manro Nagas and innumerable adventurers the moment it appeared. They came from various corners of the desert and converged in hopes of getting a glimpse of the truth behind the multi-colored sun.
Unfortunately, the closer they went to the multi-colored sun, the stronger the force of its presence. Many deities had no choice but to give up mid-way, and only the strong could continue to forge ahead.
Toward the end, the only ones that could truly go near the multi-colored sun were the elder-class high-level higher deities. Everyone else was powerless to do so despite their desire to.
“A Chief God divine core!”
“It’s definitely a Chief God divine core’s aura!”
A gorgeous, sensual beauty with a golden snake tail arrived at the bottom, gazing at the multi-colored sun hanging high in the sky with white-hot fervency in her beautiful eyes.
She was the Manro Empress, the empress of the Desert Manro Nagas, and also the most powerful among them. She was far stronger than a high-level higher deity and was infinitely close to becoming a Great Perfection deity.
Behind her were two elderly Nagas, one an old man and the other an old lady. They were elders of the Desert Manro Nagas and had come along to protect the Manro Empress.
“Once I assimilate that Chief God divine core, I shall rise to become a lofty Chief God in a single step! I’ll be able to lead us, the Desert Manro Nagas, out of the Great Pompeii Desert and make a thorough emergence!
