Chapter 353: A Mid-Level Ancient God, On Par With A Chief God

What kind of concept was a height of 10,000,000 feet?

,000,000 feet = 3,000 kilometers!

The linear distance from Harbin to Yunnan was just a little more than 3,000 kilometers. From this, one could see just how tall Meng Lei currently was! Coupled with the bi-colored gold and green light he was giving off, it was as if the multicolored radiance of the sun was circling around him during this majestic and phenomenal scene!

It was the very picture of a great treasure emerging into the world, as well as an unusual natural phenomenon when viewed from afar. Not only did it attract the Boundless Plane’s native beings, but it also attracted a fair number of experts from other existential planes.

All the experts raced toward the area without even a moment’s pause, wishing they had been born with two extra legs!

Meng Lei didn’t notice any of these—he was currently taking in his divine body changes. His divine body’s hardiness had obviously improved substantially. On top of that, his life force had also become thousands of times more vigorous.

“What a powerful presence! And what a robust life force!”

Dodola was so shocked that it simply had to fly out of the Tower of Time. The astoundment in its eyes was barely concealable as it exclaimed, “Kid, you’ve actually really broken through to become a Great Perfection deity! How unfathomable!”

Dodola’s words caught Meng Lei’s attention, and he asked, “Has my divine body already become comparable to that of a Great Perfection deity, Dodola?”

“There’s no mistaking that presence of yours!”

Dodola nodded repeatedly and said, “Even though I’ve long since been acquainted with your ability to inexplicably power up, I still can’t help but become astounded as I watch with my own two eyes you grow step by step into what you are now!”

“Hahaha, haven’t you gotten used to it yet?”

Meng Lei then looked at his stats interface.

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Primeval Bloodline: Primordial Human <36%>, Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat <Youth>, Divine Netherworld Phoenix <Youth>, Hundred-Armed Giant <Youth>, Ancient Tree of Life <Juvenile>, Frost God <Juvenile>, Grim Reaper <Juvenile>)

Wealth: 22.5 billion Divinity Crystals

Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body (Great Mastery), Wood-Origin Divine Body (Great Mastery)

Spirit: Higher Deity (Mid-Grade)

Power of Divinity: 200 Divinity Crystals

Laws of Nature:

Triple-Elemental Fusion: Wind-Light-Dark (0.1%), Metal-Wood-Earth (0.1%), Earth-Wood-Thunder (0.1%), Metal-Dark-Ice (0.1%), Earth-Water-Metal (0.1%)

Quadruple-Elemental Fusion: Ice-Metal-Dark-Fire (0.1%), Earth-Water-Fire-Light (0.1%)

Innate Special Abilities: Teleportation, Dark-Elemental Transformation, Thunder-Elemental Transformation, Transfer, Absolute Zero, Rise From The Ashes, Mysterious Ice of The Depths, Grim Reaper’s Eye (Ultimate-Grade), Netherworld Divine Fire (Ultimate-Grade)

“My personal attributes can be said to be extremely extravagant now!

“I have the Ancient God-grade Primordial Human bloodline, Ancient Tree of Life bloodline, as well as many other bloodlines;

“A metal-origin divine body and a wood-origin divine body;

“A powerful and robust body that rivals that of a Great Perfection-level deity;

“As well as great riches that amount to 22.5 billion Divinity Crystals, fairly excellent laws of nature comprehension, and many different types of special abilities!

“I’ve become even more powerful!”

Meng Lei couldn’t help but think back to his shabby-looking personal attributes back when he had first obtained the system.

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human

Wealth: 0

Physical Body Constitution: Normal Human Being (0.5/10)

Spirit: Normal Human Being (1/10)

Others: None

The two were practically as different as night and day. There was no comparability between the two at all!

“I was totally a 5-point fighter[1] back then!

“Yet ten years haven’t even gone by, and I’m already standing at the pinnacle of the gods and possess strength capable of contending with Great Perfection-level higher deities!

“The whole journey has been like a dream, but it’s still not enough yet. Far from enough!

“I will become the most powerful existence in the whole universe!”

As he returned his attention to the stats interface, he realized that there were still a lot of things that he needed to spend on. After all, every attribute enhancement required him to spend Divinity Crystals by the billion now.

For example, if he wanted to enhance his bloodlines, then each would cost him 10 billion Divinity Crystals. The 22.5 billion Divinity Crystals he currently had were only enough for him to enhance two bloodlines.

Or, for example, if he wanted to enhance his Physical Body Constitution...

Meng Lei asked curiously, “System, how many Divinity Crystals would it cost to enhance my body?”

“Ding! The host’s divine body is currently on par with that of a low-level Ancient God and will rival that of a mid-level Ancient God’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 1 trillion Divinity Crystals.”

“1... trillion?”

Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. “What a crazy number! It’s understandable, though—mid-level Ancient Gods are existences that can contend with Chief Gods after all.”

Great Perfection deities were also known as Ancient Gods.

This was an amazing and miraculous cultivation stage because powerful Ancient Gods were capable of contending with Chief Gods.

Mere Ancient Gods were definitely no match for Chief Gods. However, things would be completely different for Ancient Gods who had comprehended supreme laws of nature. They were fully capable of contending with Chief Gods!

Take the Chief God of Time, for example!

Although the Chief God of Time had only comprehended some time-based laws of nature, he had been able to contend against the weakest Chief Gods—and the “weakest” in question here was referring to lesser Chief Gods!

If the Chief God of Time’s prowess in time-based laws of nature had become higher and higher, he would also have become more and more powerful, and he would have been able to contend against an intermediate Chief God!

In fact... He would have been able to contend against a higher Chief God!

To be more accurate, the power comparison between an Ancient God and a Chief God was as follows:

Low-level Ancient God (Zero) < Chief God;

Mid-level Ancient God (Superficial) == Lesser Chief God;

High-level Ancient God (Half) == Intermediate Chief God;

Supreme Ancient God (Full) == Higher Chief God;

The “zero”, “superficial”, “half”, and “full” terms here indicated the Ancient God’s degree of comprehension in supreme laws of nature. “<” indicated “weaker than” while “==” indicated “on equal terms with”.

Strictly speaking, the Ancient God system was actually the true cultivation system that all the deities in the Void had to go through.

In ascending order, the system went as such:

Mortal, Saint Domain, half-deity, true god, lesser deity, intermediate deity, higher deity, low-level Ancient God, mid-level Ancient God, high-level Ancient God, Supreme Ancient God.

As for Chief Gods...

Ha!

They were but just a group of lucky ones that had the fortune to obtain a Chief God divine core. It was because they had assimilated Chief God divine cores that the Chief Gods managed to climb on top of all the deities. That was how the “Chief God” stage that stood on top of all the deities in the Void had forcibly come into existence!

But in reality, it was impossible for one to attain Chief Godhood through cultivation. No matter how hard deities cultivated, the most they could ever be were just Ancient Gods and not Chief Gods. Only those that had assimilated Chief God divine cores could become Chief Gods.

“My current body is comparable to that of a low-level Ancient God—in other words, an ordinary Great Perfection higher deity. If I go through another bout of enhancement, it’ll become like a mid-level Ancient God’s!”

Meng Lei muttered to himself, “A mid-level Ancient God is comparable to a lesser Chief God... Tsk, tsk. A lesser Chief God, y’know! That’s an existence that truly stands at the pinnacle of the gods!”

Therefore, although the 1 trillion Divinity Crystals price was certainly ridiculous, it was also completely understandable. After all, this was a Chief God they were talking about here!

Of course, while understandable, this didn’t mean that Meng Lei was willing to fork out that much money. Perhaps attaining the same result via comprehending supreme laws of nature instead would be much cheaper?

Meng Lei suddenly asked, “How many Great Perfection experts are there in total in the vast universe?”

“Not many,” Dodola shook its head slightly and said, “There are no more than 100 real Great Perfection deities in the vast universe. They are rarer than even Chief Gods!”

“‘Real Great Perfection’?”

Meng Lei was puzzled by Dodola’s answer.

“By ‘real Great Perfection’, I’m referring to the higher deities that have comprehended five basic types of laws of nature and fully fused them into one.”

Dodola emphasized, “There are no more than 100 of such Great Perfection deities. Of course, if we’re talking about pseudo-Great Perfection deities like you instead, then there are a ton of them out there!”

“Pseudo-Great Perfection deities?”

Black lines filled Meng Lei’s forehead.

“The so-called ‘pseudo-Great Perfection deities’ are higher deities that possess Great Perfection-level combat power, but do not possess the corresponding state of cultivation.”

A smiling Dodola said, “For example, those whose bodies are comparable to Great Perfection deities; those who own Chief God-level divine weapons and equipment; or other existences whose combat power is comparable to a Great Perfection deity’s.

“To sum it up, there are many pseudo-Great Perfection deities that lack the Great Perfection state of cultivation itself but possess combat power comparable to a Great Perfection deity’s in the Void!”

“I see.”

Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he asked, “What about Great Perfection deities that have comprehended supreme laws of nature? How many are there?”

“That’s simply too rare!”

Dodola shook its head and said, “I told you, there are no more than 100 real Great Perfection deities in existence, among whom there are even fewer that have comprehended supreme laws of nature.

“Aside from the fact that it’s extremely difficult to comprehend supreme laws of nature, another important factor is that the five basic types of laws of nature that they’ve comprehended—because of their natural aptitude—are not the right ones.”

Meng Lei had no words for that.

Choosing any five of the ten basic laws of nature to fuse together would lead to a total of 252 fusion combinations. This meant that there were theoretically 252 types of Great Perfection deities.

However, only five fusion combinations led to the formation of supreme laws of nature at the moment:

Time-based laws of nature: Thunder, fire, wind, light, and dark;

Spatial laws of nature: Metal, wood, earth, water, and fire;

Life laws of nature: Earth, wood, thunder, light, and water;

Destruction laws of nature: Thunder, ice, metal, dark, and fire;

Death laws of nature: Metal, dark, ice, wind, and earth;

As of now, it was still unknown whether or not supreme laws of nature could form from other fusion combinations—because no one had attempted it yet.

After all, there were only no more than 100 real Great Perfection deities in existence!

However, it wasn’t hard for one to imagine that it must definitely be impossible to comprehend supreme laws of nature through most of the fusion combinations. Had it been possible, people would already have comprehended them a long time ago. f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com

This led to many Great Perfection deities’ inability to comprehend supreme laws of nature at all, simply because the five basic types of laws of nature that they had fused together was incorrect in the first place...

Something worth mentioning here was that aptitude was something necessary for a deity to comprehend laws of nature. Without the corresponding aptitude for laws of nature, it was useless no matter how hard one tried to comprehend them. One couldn’t just comprehend whichever laws of nature they wanted to!

It was apparent from this that it was very difficult for anyone to attain Great Perfection level. As for comprehending supreme laws of nature, it was even harder. Not only did it require hard work, but it also required talent.

Or rather... It required luck!

These reasons led to the situation where only a pitiful few Great Perfection deities had comprehended supreme laws of nature. Exceptionally talented deities like the God of Time that possessed a talent for the five types of laws of nature—thunder, fire, wind, light, and dark—and had fully comprehended and fused them together were simply too rare!
