  Whoosh!

  A large piece of Divinity Crystal disappeared from underground. By the time it reappeared, it was in the skies.

  It was a red crystal that was more than 50 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, like a towering fire dragon hovering in the air. The crystal reflected a fiery red glow in the sunlight, bright and dazzling.

  “The Divinity Crystal ore!”

  Puhaman and the rest turned their heads to the crystal as astonishment filled their eyes. How did their master extract such a huge ore in a matter of seconds?

  That was too impressive!

  However, once the thought that their master was a Chief God sprung into their minds, they were able to reconcile themselves with the idea. A Chief God was omnipotent after all.

  “Collect them all, system!”

  Meng Lei suppressed his excitement as he gave a prompt command.

  Whoosh!

  A strange, great force appeared in thin air and engulfed the entire ore. In the very next second, the enormous ore vanished.

  At the same time, Meng Lei’s Wealth value skyrocketed at an insane speed, stopping only after a dozen seconds.

  “Haha!”

  “Hahaha!”

  “Hahahaha”

  Meng Lei stared at that massive figure, no longer able to contain his excitement and agitation. He laughed loudly into the sky. His laughter was like a clap of rolling thunder that reverberated throughout the sky.

  (⊙o⊙)?

  “What’s the matter with Master?”

  Everyone stopped what they were doing and gazed at Meng Lei with puzzled expressions.

  Emery Philmore went closer to Puhaman and asked softly, “Big Brother Puhaman, what’s going on with our lord?”

  “Delight, I suppose!” Puhaman gave a couple of dry coughs. “Every time our Chief God is happy, he’ll laugh in this manner. You’ll get used to it!”

  “Get used to it?”

  Emery Philmore perked up. “Big Brother Puhaman, do I really have a chance to get used to it? What if our Lord couldn’t care less about me?”

  Anxiety overcame Emery Philmore. After knowing that Meng Lei was a Chief God, Emery was shocked, horrified, dumbstruck, in awe...

  Now, all he desired was to join them and become Meng Lei’s follower.

  How honorable would it be to be a follower of a Chief God?”

  He was only a normal higher deity—no authority, power, Divinity Crystals, nor the capability—a nobody in the Earth Divine Realm.

  If he could become Meng Lei’s follower, his status would undergo a tremendous change. He would leap into a bigshot instantly.

  Hence, he wanted to be part of the team, only afraid that Meng Lei would look down on him.

  Emery Philmore was very anxious about it.

  “There are still opportunities. It’s all up to how you perform.” Puhaman feigned a deep voice.

  Emery Philmore had been a deity for ages. How could he not understand the meaning of Puhaman’s words. He quickly took out a spatial ring and offered it up sincerely. “Big Brother Puhaman, this is just a little gift to show my gratitude!”

  Puhaman released his divine cognition to take a peek inside.

  What the!? So many Divinity Crystals!

  He handled the spatial ring with an indifferent expression and said. “We are all friends. How can I take this?”

  “Big Brother Puhaman, it’s just a small token of appreciation!” Emery Philmore smirked.

  His gratitude satisfied Puhaman. He smiled and said, “Although Master is a man with power beyond your imagination, an elegant man, an aristocratic-looking and handsome man, a man of great talent, a knowledgeable man, an eloquent person who have chapter and verse at his tongue’s tip, a man with colossal strength... he is actually a down to earth person!

  “As long as you offer your loyalty and serve Master whole-heartedly, Master will consider keeping you by his side...”

  As an experienced person, Puhaman instructed in earnest.

  Emery Philmore listened to the advice modestly, as if listening to this speech benefited more than studying for ten years.

  Just as one of them was warming up to his speech while the other was listening modestly, a shrill whiz rang out. A dazzling spark pierced through the air and almost blinded everyone on the scene.

  In the next moment, violent shockwaves blasted off. Puhaman and Emery Philmore felt an immense force crashing into them, crushing them instantly.

  Then... There was nothing else.

  Chapter 393: The Three Great Chief Gods, Time Freeze

  Blinding flames filled the sky as violent and raging energy waves turned the void itself into a viscous, glue-like state. Everyone within the area was blown into smithereens.

  Puhaman, Emery Philmore!

  Fatty Hart, Sacas!

  Bubbles, Galen!

  All of them were dead!

  ...

  The flames gradually died down, and the glue-like void slowly returned to its original state.

  By the time the sky had resumed its original clarity, and everything had returned to what it was like before, Meng Lei had become the only one left in the sky. Everyone else... had vanished.

  Numerous divine cores floating in the air were the only things left behind.

  “Well done! Well done, indeed!”

  Meng Lei’s expression was so cold and sinister that it could almost freeze. He shouted, “Get the hell out here at once since you’re already here! Can you really call yourself a Chief God when you’re sneaking around like that?!”

  Buzz!

  A series of ripples went through the air as three figures revealed themselves.

  The first was burly and muscular and sported a pair of horns on his head—he was none other than the Nidhogg Chief God that had just left a short while ago.

  The second was a 100,000-feet-tall Titan Chief God dressed in golden armor, while the third was a sixteen-winged Angel Chief God enveloped in mighty holy light.

  A Colossal Dragon Chief God, a Titan Chief God, an Angel Chief God—that made a total of three great Chief Gods! And they had all descended upon the world together!

  “Give me a reason why!” Meng Lei demanded icily.

  “Allow me to do the introductions.”

  With an aloof look on his face, the Nidhogg Chief God gestured to the other two Chief Gods beside him and said, “This is Dawson, the Titan Chief God, and this is Raphael, the Angel Chief God.”

  Then, he pointed at Meng Lei and said, “Dawson, Raphael, that’s the Supreme Great Perfection deity that I mentioned. It’s highly likely that the Chief God divine core that had just emerged in the Great Pompeii Desert is in his hands because he’s the one who’s both the strongest and closest in proximity to it!”

  The Titan Chief God and the Angel Chief God nodded slightly in response. Their awe-inspiring and aloof gazes then fell on Meng Lei, and they ordered, “Hand over the Chief God divine core, and we’ll spare your life!”

  “The Chief God divine core?”

  Meng Lei stared at the Nidhogg Chief God and asked, “You left and came back again, and even brought two other great Chief Gods with you along the way, just for the Chief God divine core in my possession?”

  “So, you admit that the Chief God divine core is in your possession?”

  The three great Chief Gods’ eyes brightened significantly, and their eyes bore straight into Meng Lei. They had guessed that the Chief God divine core was with Meng Lei, but a guess was ultimately nothing more than just a guess. They couldn’t make an accurate judgment as to whether it was true or not.

  Now that Meng Lei had admitted to it, this proved that their guess was indeed correct. How could they possibly not be delighted?

  With a flip of Meng Lei’s hand, an irregularly-shaped crystal that glowed with ten different colors appeared on his palm—it was exactly the Chief God divine core that had caused such a huge commotion in the Great Pompeii Desert earlier.

  “The Chief God divine core!”


  “The Chief God divine core is indeed with you!”

  Intense shudders went through the three Chief Gods, and looks of greed and desire burst forth from their eyes. The looks in their eyes were as if they wanted to gobble Meng Lei up and take the Chief God divine core sitting on his palm for themselves.

  “Give it to me!” The three Chief Gods barked in unison.

  “All of them are already Chief Gods, so why do they want this Chief God divine core so much, Moro? This thing shouldn’t be of much use to them, isn’t it?”

  Meng Lei was puzzled.

  “No, you’re mistaken. Not only are Chief God divine cores of use to them, but they are even of great use at that.”

  Moro’s voice surfaced in his mind. He explained, “You should also know that a Chief God divine core is essentially a fragment of a high-end existential plane’s Heart of The Existential Plane and not an ordinary divine core. In other words, a Chief God is able to assimilate multiple Chief God divine cores.”

  “They’re able to assimilate multiple Chief God divine cores?”

  A mild jolt went through Meng Lei as enlightenment dawned upon him.

  That’s right!

  A person could only assimilate a maximum of one divine core for divine cores of the same grade. If they wanted to assimilate more, then they would have to assimilate divine cores of higher grades.

  However, this wasn’t the case for Chief God divine cores.

  Strictly speaking, a Chief God divine core wasn’t even a divine core at all but a Heart of The Existential Plane fragment instead. Therefore, one would naturally be able to assimilate many of them.

  On top of that, the more there were, the better it was. The more one assimilated, the more Power of Existential Plane they would be able to manipulate, thereby making the Chief God even stronger!

  Moro smiled dispassionately and said, “Those three fellows were very likely ordinary deities with mediocre aptitudes before they assimilated their Chief God divine cores. Thus, despite having become Chief Gods for many years, they still haven’t comprehended any supreme laws of nature and are still just lesser Chief Gods who are the weakest of the lot.

  “Therefore, for them, becoming stronger by relying on comprehending supreme laws of nature won’t work at all. They can only strengthen themselves by assimilating more Chief God divine cores.

  “But there are only so many Chief God divine cores out there. Moreover, they’ve basically all been assimilated by other Chief Gods, so how can there possibly be any extras? Now that they’ve seen the one you have, it would be stranger instead if they didn’t go crazy for it!”

  Meng Lei nodded slowly. He had already understood why the Nidhogg Chief God had left and returned, as well as why he had brought the other two Chief Gods here to besiege him.

  Everything was for the sake of obtaining the Chief God divine core he had!

  “Give it to me!”

  The three Chief Gods’ expressions darkened at the sight of Meng Lei’s indifference. They barked another command fiercely, unable to hold back anymore.

  “And if I don’t?” Meng Lei sneered coldly.

  “Not handing it over? Then you can go to hell!”

  The Nidhogg Chief God said icily and sinisterly, “I certainly can’t do anything about you by myself, but killing you is no difficult task with the three of us!”

  “Hand over the Chief God divine core! Otherwise, you’ll die!” ordered the Titan Chief God in an icy-cold voice.

  “We’ll spare your life as long as you hand over the Chief God divine core,” said the Angel Chief God gently as holy light suffused the air around him.

  “You’re going to kill me? With the likes of the three of you?”

  Meng Lei burst into laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the whole universe. His voice reverberated throughout the sky like a tsunami toppling the mountains and overturning the seas.

  “You’re courting death!”

  “What insolence!”

  “How presumptuous!”

  The three Chief Gods’ expressions darkened right away. Roiling waves of the Chief Gods’ might arose around them and crushed down upon Meng Lei from everywhere, intending to flatten him.

  “All of you can forget about leaving this place today!”

  Icy harshness took over Meng Lei’s eyes as he gradually curbed his laughter. He said, “I will gouge out your Chief God divine cores, destroy your divine spirits, and enslave your bodies. I will destroy your souls and thoroughly wipe you off the face of the earth!”

  “You’re going to kill us? Why don’t you die first, then!”

  The three Chief Gods moved at the same time.

  With a forceful grab from the Nidhogg Chief God, a gigantic multi-colored dragon claw formed completely from ten-colored lights instantly rushed forward and grabbed at Meng Lei.

  “Go to hell!”

  The Titan Chief God clenched his right fist and threw a powerful punch. At once, a heavy, multi-colored punch that carried fearsome, earth-shattering might went hurtling out.

  “Holy Light Judgment!”

  The Angel Chief God flapped the 16 wings on his back. Several rays of holy light converged to form a gigantic multi-colored sword that dazzled with the light of ten different colors. Then, the sword cleaved forward.

  A dragon claw!

  A powerful punch!

  A gigantic sword!

  The attacks drew three arcs across the sky like rainbows piercing through the sun and crashed down upon Meng Lei. The three Chief Gods had attacked with their full power when they launched these attacks; even ordinary Great Perfection deities would be crushed into dust if they were even so much as hit by the residual impact waves, let alone struck squarely by the attacks themselves.

  “These attacks will at least maim him if they didn’t already kill him. I’ll have to strike first and snatch the Chief God divine core as soon as possible later. Once I get the Chief God divine core...”

  The three Chief Gods might have their gazes fixed on Meng Lei, but their minds were already working at top speed. They were already thinking about how they could snatch the Chief God divine core in Meng Lei’s possession.

  Despite being up against such terrifying attacks, Meng Lei neither ducked nor dodged. In the instant the claw, the punch, and the sword were about to reach him, he slowly uttered two words, “Time Freeze!”

  Buzz!

  Two soft and gentle rays of golden light shot out of Meng Lei’s eyes. Everything in the golden light’s path froze in time.

  The fluctuating space-time had become still!

  The flowing air had become still!

  The wild, violent attacks had become still!

  Everything... had become still!

  The three Chief Gods were no exceptions, either. They froze on the spot with looks of greed still on their faces.

  Meng Lei took step after step toward the three Chief Gods. Soft, gentle golden light spilled from his eyes as he scoffed, “So, you’re going to kill me? In the face of the full and complete version of time-based laws of nature, how are losers that haven’t even comprehended any supreme laws of nature like the lot of you going to kill me?”

  Chapter 394: Killing The Chief Gods, The Chief God Treaty

  Meng Lei’s wish had come true, and he had gained 12 quadrillion Divinity Crystals after extracting Divinity Crystals from the mine.

  Added to this the 2.209 quadrillion Divinity Crystals he already had, this came up to a total of 14.209 quadrillion Divinity Crystals!

  In other words, he now had... 14,209 trillion Divinity Crystals!

  Buying credit for any one type of supreme laws of nature required 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.

  With 14,209 trillion Divinity Crystals, Meng Lei now had enough to buy credit for two types of supreme laws of nature.

  Without any hesitation, Meng Lei had promptly bought credit for his time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature and boosted his comprehension rates for both to 100%, there
by fully comprehending these two types of supreme laws of nature.

  It was an extremely strange and wonderful feeling when one had fully comprehended a type of supreme laws of nature. As far as the eye could see, the air was filled with densely packed time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature chains. They enveloped every corner of the void in a haphazard and disorderly manner, leaving no area untouched.

  Meng Lei could usually vaguely see these laws of nature chains, too. But he was just like an illiterate looking at a dictionary—able to clearly see every single word, yet couldn’t recognize any, let alone understand what they meant, of course.

  He could see them, but he didn’t know what they meant—Meng Lei had exactly been in that state previously.

  However, things were different now!

  Now, Meng Lei clearly understood what each single laws of nature chain meant, what kind of function each represented, what kind of effect each would bring... It was as if he had known all these all along.

  This was a very peculiar experience. It felt very magical, very mysterious, and also... very powerful!

  Yes, powerful!

  The two supreme laws of nature were simply too powerful, so much so that Meng Lei felt as if he were under the misconception that he was the strongest entity in the whole of the universe!

  “In the face of full and complete versions of supreme laws of nature, people who haven’t even comprehended any supreme laws of nature like the lot of you are no different from a bunch of total losers!”

  Soft, gentle golden light—in other words, time-based laws of nature chains—spilled from Meng Lei’s aloof, dispassionate eyes. Wherever he looked, time stopped and went into an absolute state of stillness.

  Even if one were a Chief God, and even if one were the most fearsome and strongest entity in the vast universe, they would still have to obediently stay still on the spot, no matter what.

  Their divine bodies, as well as their minds and consciousness, had all entered a state of stillness! This was exactly what made time-based laws of nature so powerful!

  Meng Lei took step after step toward the Nidhogg Chief God. Then, he reached out three of his fingers, slowly pierced them through the area in between the Nidhogg Chief God’s brows, and gouged out a crystal that shone with dazzling lights of different colors—it was none other than the Nidhogg Chief God’s Chief God divine core.
