“What are you talking about?” The facial expression of the Supreme God of The Underworld changed drastically. He said with disbelief, “Is this for real?”
“Hadis, you are my own brother, I can’t possibly lie to you!” The Death Dominus sighed and said slowly, “It’s a disgrace to submit to other people, but it’s a fortune to submit to Master! Hadis, don’t make useless struggles. There is no point at all!”
“Hadas, are you speaking the truth?” The Supreme God of The Underworld said through a telepathic message via his divine spirit. “Don’t lie to me!”
“Why should I lie to you?”
The Death Dominus similarly said through a telepathic message via his divine spirit. “You also know that I am a proud person, but after the battle previously, I wholeheartedly submitted to Master...”
After a series of communication, the Supreme God of The Underworld looked at Meng Lei differently. After mobilizing 90% of the powers of the Celestial Realm, he still couldn’t beat Meng Lei!
Just how strong was Meng Lei, exactly?
“Submit, Hadis,” Meng Lei said dispassionately.
“I submit!”
Hadis finally bowed his noble head. He was proud indeed but not so proud as to give up life for death. What was pride in comparison to life?
After that, Hadis gave up his divine spirit origin energy, and Meng Lei casually refined it.
“I will give you a task,” said Meng Lei lightly. “Collect all the gold, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, and Demonic Crystals of the Supreme Netherworld!”
Dark creatures called Divinity Crystals, Demonic Crystals, and they were the same kind of things by nature.
“Yes, Master!”
Although the Supreme God of The Underworld felt confused by such an order, he dared not disobey and still took his orders and left. Meng Lei looked in one direction, his lips curving upward.
“Lord Grim Reaper King, since you are here, why don’t you show yourself? It’s not fitting for your position to hide!”
“Cough, cough!”
Chapter 427: Ol’ Amos Awakened, Blissful Old Man
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Cough, cough!”
Coarse sounds of coughing rang as the air shook slightly. A black figure covered in a dark cloak appeared before everyone. It was the other supreme Juggernaut of the Netherworld—the Grim Reaper King.
A cloud of black mist shrouded the Grim Reaper King’s face, and no one could have a clear view of his face, but that terrifying might it gave off was the real deal.
“Grim Reaper King, your voice is pretty thunderous.”
Meng Lei sized up the Grim Reaper King as an indistinct look flashed across his eyes. He had assimilated the Grim Reaper bloodline before, and he could be considered a Grim Reaper as well. Hence, his gaze at the appearance of the Grim Reaper King was inevitably complex.
The black mist shrouding the Grim Reaper King’s face rippled as a loud and clear voice rang.
“Sir, who are you exactly? Since when did an expert like you appear in this universe? Why haven’t I heard of you before?”
“I was only a nameless nobody a few months ago. Of course you wouldn’t have heard of me.” Meng Lei waved it off. “By the way, may I ask what’s your business over here, Grim Reaper King?”
“I got curious when I sensed the intense reverberation of the Power of The Netherworld, and it was broken up by someone violently. Therefore I arrived here to see for myself.” The Grim Reaper King looked at Meng Lei. “I didn’t expect to witness such an incredible scene. I wonder if I should be happy or sad?”
“You should be happy about it, of course.” Meng Lei chuckled. “It’s my great honor to meet the famed Grim Reaper King.”
The Grim Reaper King could not hide his smile. “I wonder what business you have in the Netherworld, sir.”
“It’s very simple. I’m collecting wealth.” Meng Lei smiled faintly. “I’m a man who worships money like it’s my life. I’m here today in the Netherworld to collect all kinds of gold, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, and Demonic Crystals. Would you like to assist me?”
“Since you have such a need, I’ll do my best to help!” The Grim Reaper King nodded slightly. “May I proceed, sir?”
“You have my gratitude, Grim Reaper King.”
Meng Lei thanked him with a smile.
“Please wait for a moment. I’ll be back soon!” The Grim Reaper King disappeared on the spot as if he was afraid that staying a second longer would cost his life.
“You’re letting him leave just like that, Master?”
The Death Dominus was rather confused. In order to get them to serve him, Meng Lei had refined their divine spirit origin energy and enslaved them. On the other hand, the Grim Reaper King was much better off as Meng Lei only requested his help—the difference was too huge.
“Haha, I just feel like it.”
Meng Lei waved it off with an indifferent expression. What was so important about being enslaved or not?
“...”
The Death Dominus and Life Dominus looked at each other, speechless. That was discrimination...
“It’s time to visit the palace of the Supreme God of The Underworld.”
Meng Lei flew toward the shrine on top of the mountain. Upon entering the shrine, he sat on the throne of the Supreme God of The Underworld. The Life Dominus and Death Dominus stood on the two sides of Meng Lei like two guards.
Waiting was a source of boredom, so Meng Lei prepared to check on the destiny laws of nature he had obtained previously. However, an exclamation came from the Tower of Time to break the atmosphere.
“Hahaha, I’ve attained Great Perfection now!
“I’ve finally become a Great Perfection deity!
“Never in my lifetime have I ever thought that—
“Eh?”
Meng Lei appeared in the Tower of Time to see his Ol’ President red in the face as he burst into a peal of loud laughter while his clear voice spread around.
“Have you succeeded with the assimilation, Ol’ Amos?”
Meng Lei went over to greet with a smile.
“I’ve succeeded! I’ve finally succeeded!”
Ol’ Amos looked at Meng Lei with a face of gratitude. “Meng Lei, I cannot thank you enough! If it weren’t for you, I would never have gotten the chance to become a Great Perfection deity in my lifetime!”
“Ol’ Amos, you’re speaking like I’m an outsider.” Meng Lei smiled. “If it weren’t for your guidance in the past, how could I have accomplished what I have achieved today?”
“Oh, you’re too humble,”
Ol’ Amos smiled and shook his head. “Given your freaky talent, you’d rise up sooner or later, even without me. Oh yes, where are Puhaman and the rest?”
“Well... They’re all assimilating their Chief God divine cores,” Meng Lei said with great pleasure.
(⊙_⊙)???
Ol’ Amos was dumbfounded for a moment. “What? Wait what?”
“I’m saying that they’re all assimilating Chief God divine cores to become Chief Gods once they succeed,” Meng Lei repeated himself.
“Assimilating Chief God divine cores? Become Chief Gods?” Ol’ Amos jumped into the air when he heard that. “What the heck!? Where did their Chief God divine core come from? Or perhaps you’re powerful enough to hunt down Chief Gods!?”
Where did those Chief God divine cores come from?
Ol’ Amos could only think of Meng Lei as the answer.
“Yes!” Meng Lei smiled. “While you were away with the assimilation of your Great Perfection divine core, I accidentally broke through again and killed some Chief Gods along the way to obtain some of their divine cores.”
If anyone else told him that, Ol’ Amos would have scoffed at the idea of ‘accidentally broken through’. Killing Chief Gods at will? It would have been ridiculed.
However, if Meng Lei said that, it was completely normal to Ol’ Amos. He
knew Meng Lei long enough to the extent that even if Meng Lei told him that he had become a Primordial World Genesis God, he would believe every word without any doubts.
“Where is mine? Where’s my Chief God divine core?”
Ol’ Amos jumped and grabbed onto Meng Lei’s shoulders. His eyes were bloodshot as they stared at Meng Lei fervently, overcome by excitement, greed, and desire. “I’ve known you well enough. You must have one for me, right?”
Meng Lei thought of joking with Ol’ Amos that there were no more Chief God divine cores. However, he did not dare to as he did not want the old man to snap his neck due to utter disappointment.
Meng Lei was rather amused and waved his arm to release over 100 Chief God divine cores. He sorted them into 11 stacks according to the supreme Celestial Realm and the ten major Divine Realms. “Here are more than 100 Chief God divine cores. 46 from the supreme Celestial Realm and over 80 from the ten major Divine Realms. Which one would you like to assimilate?”
“S-so many Chief God divine cores?”
Ol’ Amos was shocked as he gasped and began stuttering. “1... 100 Chief God divine cores? You... you’ve killed every Chief Gods of the supreme Celestial Realm and the ten Divine Realms?”
Ol’ Amos knew that there were 144 Chief Gods in the universe. Other than those that Puhaman and the rest had refined, there were around 120 left. Yet, the 120 divine cores were all here.
It meant that... Meng Lei might have killed them all!
“Well, I guess.” Meng Lei nodded. “Other than 144 Chief Gods, there’s two Juggernauts too.”
“T-two Juggernauts?”
Ol’ Amos froze instantly as if he was looking at a monster.
No! I shouldn’t be this shocked and overwhelmed. Just stay calm since anything that happens to him is normal!
Ol’ Amos tried desperately to restrain himself, telling himself to keep calm. Still, he could not help but ask, “Meng Lei, you... You’re so powerful to such an extent?”
“Well, I guess.”
“Oh god!”
After quite a while, Ol’ Amos finally calmed down slightly as he scanned the hundred-over Chief God divine cores available. He was dazzled by the choices while he could not take his eyes off them.
“Meng Lei, which one of these should I assimilate?” Ol’ Amos rubbed his hands excitedly.
“You got to choose from the supreme Celestial Realm.” He answered promptly. “The Celestial Realm’s size is ten thousand times the size of the ten Divine Realms, so the Chief Gods there are relatively stronger than those from the ten major Divine Realms.”
“Okay, supreme Celestial Realm it is!”
Ol’ Amos repeatedly nodded as he took one divine core from the pile belonging to the supreme Celestial Realm. He was about to find a place to refine it when Meng Lei stopped him. “Ol’ Amos, take these 22 divine cores to refine too.”
(⊙_⊙)?
Ol’ Amos was stunned once more.
“Take these 22 Chief God divine cores with you to refine all together,” Meng Lei repeated with a smile.
“Oh no, no, no. I can’t accept this.” Ol’ Amos shook his head vigorously. “I’m satisfied with this one. What is the use of so many divine cores? You should keep them for yourself!”
“These are useless to me now.”
Meng Lei gifted 22 divine cores from the supreme Celestial Realm to Ol’ Amos with a wave of his arm. “Alright, don’t waste time on refining these. I’m leaving.”
With that said, Meng Lei disappeared straightaway. Ol’ Amos watched him disappear before he tried to call him, but Meng Lei was nowhere to be seen. He could not help but let out wry laughs after wry laughs.
He had just been struck by bliss, but he did not expect more bliss to come. 23 Chief God divine cores were unimaginable!
Ol’ Amos hugged those 23 divine cores and fell into blissful trouble. “How am I supposed to refine all these? Sigh... Sometimes bliss can be a problem too.”
Chapter 428: Destined To Buy Credits, Endless Darkness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The remaining 23 Chief God divine cores from the supreme Celestial Realm were saved for Dodola. Ever since his transmigration to this world, the ones closest to him were Ol’ Amos and Dodola. Naturally, he would leave the best for them.
Meng Lei arrived at the 100th level of the Tower of Time. Dodola remained to lie on the grass in the process of refining its Great Perfection divine core, showing no sign of waking up.
Meng Lei was rather perplexed. Dodola’s state was higher than Ol’ Amos, and it had started refining the Great Perfection divine core earlier than Ol’ Amos. So why had it not succeeded yet?
Just as Meng Lei was in doubt, Dodola’s eyes opened up with a sharp glint flashing in its eyes. “Meng Lei, why are you here?”
“To see you.” Meng Lei smiled. “Did you succeed?”
“Yes!”
Dodola stretched its body while it squealed in excitement. “And, I’ve comprehended the destruction laws of nature remaining in the divine core too!”
“I see.”
Meng Lei was cleared of his doubt.
No wonder it took longer than Ol’ Amos. It’s the comprehension of the destruction laws of nature, after all.
After that, Meng Lei brought out the 23 Chief God divine cores. Upon sensing the aura of the divine cores, Dodola could not take its eyes off them.
“C-Chief God divine cores?”
“Yeap!”
Meng Lei smiled. “These are the Chief God divine cores from the supreme Celestial Realm. 23 in total. You can take them to refine. Refining the first one might take some time, but the rest will be much easier.”
“Where did all these divine cores come from?”
Dodola could not believe its eyes as it knew the level of difficulty of getting one’s hands on Chief God divine core. Back when its old master had tried to obtain just one Chief God divine core, he had gone to the length of stealing a high-end existential plane seed, eventually costing him his life.
Why steal a high-end existential plane seed?
Stealing a high-end existential plane would be relatively easier than killing Chief Gods with lesser risk.
It was only a pity that it had failed.
After such an experience, Dodola knew how hard it would be to obtain a Chief God divine core. However, over 20 Chief God divine cores appeared before its eyes. Dodola thought that it was dreaming.
“There are only so many Chief God divine cores in the entire universe, so I guess you should know why.”
“You killed over 20 Chief Gods?”
Dodola was dumbfounded.
“Not just that, all the Chief Gods in the ten major Divine Realms and supreme Celestial Realm were killed by me. Now only two Juggernauts remain.” Meng Lei continued.
Gasp!
...
Meng Lei returned to the Netherworld Shrine. Before long, the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King returned to present the wealth they had collected.
“Good job, everyone.”
After some collecting...
Meng Lei’s Wealth grew by another 1,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals, adding to the 1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals for a total of 2,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.
It wasn’t enough, far from it. Buying credits for the destiny laws of nature required him to spend 100,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals.
What could 2,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals do?
“Master, are these riches not of satisfaction for you?” the Supreme God of The Underworld asked when he saw Meng Lei’s frown.
“Still far from it!”
Meng Lei shook his head.
“Please be patient, Master. I’ll leave at once to collect more from the untouched magic crystal mines in the supreme Celestial Realm,” the Supreme God of The Underworld replied quickly.
“Magic crystal mines?”
Meng Lei was surprised.
“What’s the matter, Master?”
/>
The Supreme God of The Underworld was puzzled.
“Ah! How could I forget that!?”
Meng Lei smacked his forehead with some frustration. He had almost forgotten that no matter how much wealth each godly clan had amassed, they could not be compared to Divinity Crystal mines and Magic Crystal mines.
The ten Divine Realms and the supreme Celestial Realm had countless mines, and if they were fully mined...
Meng Lei could no longer sit still as he ordered. “Hadis, and the Grim Reaper King, mine all of them immediately! Oh, and gather all the Demon Grandmasters. They will take charge of mining and collecting the wealth from Hell, the Abyss, and the Demon Realm. Will you complete this task?”
“You have our guarantee!”
The Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King answered and left immediately.
“And you two,” Meng Lei looked toward the Life Dominus and Death Dominus, “I’m sending both of you back to the Celestial Realm. Do you need me to tell you what to do?”
The Life Dominus and Death Dominus nodded their heads repeatedly. “We know what to do, Master!”
“Great!”
Meng Lei sent the two Juggernauts back to the Celestial Realm while he traveled to the ten major Divine Realms as he prepared for mining the Divinity Crystal mines over there.
Demon Grandmasters were alive in Hell, the Abyss, and the Demon Realm. Under the command of the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King, these Demon Grandmasters would not dare to defy orders. They would surely work on mining in those realms diligently.
The ten major Divine Realms were different since all the Chief Gods were dead, so Meng Lei had to do it himself.
His method of extraction was simple. Find the mine, then use his special ability of teleportation.
In a short instant, the ore deep beneath the ground was teleported out through Meng Lei. It was simple and much faster and efficient than having Chief Gods do the job.
Meng Lei arrived in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm as his first destination.
After two days, every single mine in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm got emptied by Meng Lei.
