Chapter 354: Three Sets Of Wealth, Quintuple-Elemental Fusion
Most of the people did not have any magic talent.
Those that possessed such magic talent were in the minority, mostly single- or double-elemental.
Triple-elementals were extremely rare, less the quadruple-elementals. As for the quintuple-elementals... they were one in a billion.
And those that possessed the required five elements for the supreme laws of nature were even rarer.
Of course, there were also other reasons like possessing the talent, but they had no chance to cultivate, or dying prematurely, and so on.
These reasons made higher deities of Great Perfection-level who could comprehend the supreme laws of nature so rare. They could be counted by one hand.
Dodola sighed. “They said there is always a way out. The heavens allowed ordinary living things to cultivate to Great Perfection level, but this opportunity is way too slim.”
“Indeed, that’s just almost impossible.” Meng Lei nodded. “This shows how great the God of Time truly was!”
“Duh!”
Dodola snorted, looking as though it said, “I told you that the God of Time was impressive, but you refused to believe it. What else can I do?”
Meng Lei snickered. “Dodola, now that I’m at the level of Great Perfection isn’t it time to pass whatever the God of Time had to me?”
“You haven’t completed the test—”
Dodola did not hesitate to reject that proposal, and Meng Lei cut it off quickly. “It’s better to offer timely assistance than to put the icing on the cake. By the time I become a Chief God, I might not appreciate your gift if you decide to hand over that wealth.”
That was true—no matter how impressive the God of Time was, it was only on par with a lesser Chief God. How much wealth would it possess?
It was at most approximately the same as a lesser Chief God, which would be a lot for Meng Lei currently.
However, as Meng Lei advanced further, this wealth would depreciate infinitely. If Meng Lei became an intermediate Chief God, or further up to a higher Chief God, he would no longer be satisfied by that wealth of the God of Time...
An icing to the cake was not comparable to providing timely assistance. Hence, now was the best time to give him that wealth.
Dodola was smart as it understood the key to it immediately. “Wow, so now you’re starting to dare threaten me already!”
“Threaten? How was that threatening?” Meng Lei waved his hands. “I’m just stating the facts.”
“Hmph! Stop bluffing me!” Dodola rolled its eyes and continued, “Though I’m not pleased with your threat, I must admit that what you said made sense! So...”
Meng Lei’s eyes lit up.
“So, I’ve decided to hand over the wealth of the God of Time!” Dodola showed a strange smile. “But before I hand it over, I must tell you that the God of Time controlled the time-based laws of nature. What he did best was finding treasures and looting treasuries. Thus, his wealth will be beyond your imagination!”
“Hehe, the more, the merrier!”
Meng Lei’s eyes shone even brighter.
Dodola curled its lips as an opening split open on the grass patch it was stepping on. A secret compartment appeared with a delicate little box inside.
Meng Lei grabbed the box in its hands and could not wait to open it. With the sound of a click, the box opened. A spatial ring sat quietly inside as Meng Lei picked it up and released his divine cognition...
“What the heck!?”
Meng Lei was stunned at once.
“See? Are you shocked now?”
Dodola had an expression as if its evil plan worked.
Meng Lei kept quiet for a while before glaring at Dodola.
“Dodola, you tricked me!”
“What trick? That’s gone too far!” Dodola got a little angry.
“Weren’t you the one?”
Meng Lei took out the spatial ring’s wealth—there was only an irregular crystal emanating glows of five different colors.
Meng Lei became angry. “That’s all there is for the God of Time’s wealth? One laws of nature fragment? What are you trying to do?”
“Er...”
Dodola paused and smacked its head. “Oh, look at my memory. How could I forget such an important matter? I deserve to be beaten up.”
“What else do you have to say?”
Meng Lei’s expression turned sour as he felt he was played like a fool.
“Listen carefully.” Dodola became serious. “The wealth that the God of Time had left for you definitely wasn’t just this laws of nature fragment. It’s just that the other riches are not with me.”
“Not with you? What do you mean?”
Meng Lei was stunned.
“In those years when that powerful existence was hunting the God of Time, due to the worry of his wealth might fall into that existence’s hands, he split it up and hid it away.”
Dodola said solemnly, “The wealth was split into three groups hidden in three different places. Every single one of them was worth an intermediate Chief God’s lifelong savings!”
“There’s so much?”
Meng Lei’s eyes lit up again.
“Do you know why the God of Time was being pursued in the past?” Dodola snorted. “That was because other than stealing the high-end existential plane seed, the God of Time also looted that existence’s treasury. And that was a higher Chief God!”
Gasp!
Meng Lei gasped. “The God of Time had the guts to steal from a higher Chief God? That was a little too bold!”
“That was why he died!” Dodola got a little emotional. “You must learn that lesson and never end up the same way as him!”
“No need to worry, I’m really afraid of death. Without enough capabilities, I’ll never instigate something with anyone more powerful than me.” Meng Lei shook his head. “Oh yes, where were the three sets of wealth hidden?”
“Two are pretty far. Let’s not mention them yet,” Dodola said. “The nearest from here is in the Opus Mountains in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm.”
“Thunderbolt Divine Realm!” Meng Lei frowned in an instant. “It’s over there... Now, this is rather troublesome. But it should be fine if I do a makeover and leave with that set of wealth.”
“It’s not much of an issue for you.”
Dodola nodded. Meng Lei had many bloodlines. As long as he could enter the Thunderbolt Divine Realm secretly, who would recognize him?
“Once this trip in the Boundless Plane is over, I’ll head to the Thunderbolt Divine Realm and retrieve those treasures.”
Meng Lei’s eyes were sparkling. The wealth was similar to an intermediate Chief God, so it was too much for him to miss out on.
“Before you go, you must comprehend the time-based laws of nature first.” Dodola pointed to that piece of laws of nature fragment and continued. “The three sets of wealth are hidden in time fluxes. If you have not yet comprehended the time-based laws of nature, you won’t get those riches.”
“Comprehend the time-based laws of nature?”
Meng Lei looked at the laws of nature fragment, which emanated glows of five colors—it was clearly a quintuple-elemental fusion laws of nature fragment. Meng Lei could tell it was the five elements, Thunder, Fire, Wind, Light, and Dark, which were required to comprehend the time-based laws of nature.
“This quintuple-elemental fusion laws of nature fragment is the key to those riches. It will only be possible to obtain that wealth once you have completely understood the time-based laws of nature,” Dodola said slowly.
“As long as I have the laws of nature fragment, anything would be easy!” Meng Lei chuckled as he ordered, “System, plunder the quintuple-elemental fusion laws of nature.”
Of course, he could slowly comprehend the laws of nature within this fragment, but that would have been too slow. Hence, he opted to plunder directly. He believed that it would work since Super Plunder could steal anything.
“Ding! Plundering target: Quintuple-elemental Fusion Laws of Nature Fragment. Target substance: Quintuple-elemental Fusion Laws of Nature.”
The system said coldly, “Ding! Plunder cost: 6 Divinity Crystals. Will you plunder it?”
“Plunder it!”
Whoosh!
Strange energy shrouded the laws of nature fragment. Within a blink of an eye, the five-colored glow was gone while the laws of nature fragment became white dust. The fragment then turned into white dust, sliding off Meng Lei’s fingers like white sand.
At the same time, a deluge of information flooded Meng Lei’s mind like a movie being played.
Meng Lei quickly started to comprehend the information.
Speaking of prowess in the comprehension of laws of nature, Meng Lei was a weirdo who understood ten basic laws of nature. With just that, he was the only one in the entire universe who could do it.
Other than that, he comprehended a few dozen double-elemental fusion laws of nature, four kinds of triple-elemental fusion laws of nature, and two kinds of quadruple-elemental fusion laws of nature.
However, after comprehending so many laws of nature, Meng Lei had not yet been introduced to the quintuple-elemental fusion laws of nature. Since he met one here, he would naturally become serious in comprehending it.
“Quickly! The priceless treasure is over there!”
“Faster! Before others beat us to it!”
At that moment, a bunch of uninvited guests arrived. They were a thousand feet tall, wearing golden armor and holding giant axes or hammers, while they appeared to have elephant heads and a human body.
Each of them emitted a savage, violent aura, just like gigantic humanoid elephants.
“Where’s the priceless treasure? Where is it?”
These Elephant-Men moved around swiftly, but they could not see the priceless treasure. Instead, they saw Meng Lei, who had returned to his human form, making them mad.
“Damn it! No matter how much we rushed, someone still beat us to it!”
“Kill him! Snatch the priceless treasure back! Then leave at once!”
“Kill!”
The current Meng Lei was focused on comprehending the laws of nature, and thus his aura became as ordinary as an average Joe—there was absolutely no sense of power.
Hence, the Elephant-Men attacked.
They drew their giant axes and war hammers and swung at Meng Lei, aiming to end things quickly by killing Meng Lei and leaving immediately.
Bam, bam, bam!
Heavy weapons like axes and hammers landed on Meng Lei’s body without any damage done, but it woke up Meng Lei.
“Ugh! Damn it!”
Meng Lei was immersed in the complex quintuple-elemental fusion laws of nature. Once he completed this comprehension, he could buy credit to upgrade it to 100%.
By then, he would have completely comprehended the quintuple-elemental fusion laws of nature and achieved a Great Perfection-level domain.
A Great Perfection-level divine body and a Great Perfection-level domain would make Meng Lei a true Great Perfection expert!
Such a wonderful thing... interrupted as he was woken up.
Meng Lei suddenly had a feeling of destroying everything. “You f*cking bastards! How dare you all spoil my comprehension process! Die! All of you deserve death!”
A raging aura exploded like huge tidal waves. Rumbling sounds echoed as the Elephant-Men who attacked him were thrown away instantly.
“Ugh!”
All of them were coughing up blood incessantly as horror peaked among them.
“W-what a terrifying aura!”
“Sh*t! We’ve run into the wall this time!”
“Run! Just run! He’s too powerful!”
At their cultivation level, they were not dumb. They knew that Meng Lei was not someone they could mess with once they finally sensed Meng Lei’s true aura.
And so they ran.
“Escape? Come here!”
The God’s Domain spread out and imprisoned every Elephant-Man. Meng Lei raised his palm and slapped each of them like flies.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
All the Elephant-Men exploded...
