“Forget it. I’ll drop the act and negotiate with you instead.”
Meng Lei tossed the Chief God divine core in his hand up and down and said dispassionately, “I’m actually the one that had placed this Chief God Divine core here to attract cash cows like the lot of you.”
“Why did you do that?”
The eight Great Perfection deities’ expressions changed drastically. An awful sense of foreboding suddenly came over all of them.
“To kill all of you, of course!” Meng Lei broke into a grin and said, “My finances have been rather tight recently, so I can only make you guys the sacrifices now.”
“To kill us?”
As if they had just heard the funniest joke in the universe, the eight Great Perfection deities burst into raucous laughter upon hearing Meng Lei’s reply.
“Kill us? Who do you think you are? A lofty Chief God high up above?”
“That’s right!”
“You have certainly heavily wounded Armand, but so what even if you have? If the eight of us Great Perfection deities team up, we’re confident of contending even against a Chief God, let alone someone like you?”
“Kid, hand over the Chief God divine core immediately and leave right away if you know what’s good for you. Otherwise, I’ll destroy your soul and let you die a terrible death!”
“Haha!”
Meng Lei let out a laugh. Then, he no longer restrained his divine power.
Boom!
Vast and majestic terrifying divine power that reached high into the heavens and deep into the ground erupted from Meng Lei. Like smoke signals rushing into the sky, yet also like great 100,000-feet-tall tidal waves capable of toppling the mountains and overturning the seas, it spread into the surroundings and crashed down on the area, as well as every Great Perfection deity present.
Boom!
As though a 100,000-feet-tall mountain was weighing down on their hearts, the eight Great Perfection deities felt a force unmatched by any other pressing down upon them. Fear and trepidation welled up within them from the pressure, rendering them unable to muster the will to fight.
“What fearsome divine power!”
“That’s a Chief God’s divine power!”
“He’s a Chief God!”
“Oh my god! He’s actually a Chief God!”
The eight Great Perfection deities were shocked and horror-stricken by the revelation. As Great Perfection deities, they might be the strongest entities next to Chief Gods, but they simply couldn’t compare to Chief Gods at all.
They might claim confidence in teaming up against a Chief God, but that was nothing more than just them flattering themselves.
A Chief God wasn’t an entity that they could rival!
“It’s time for you to go on your merry way, esteemed Mr. Great Perfections!” Meng Lei slowly raised his right palm and said, “Bon voyage. The gates of Heaven have opened for you!”
Boom!
He had only just spoken when his right palm went smacking downward.
“Spare us!”
“Spare us, Your Holiness!”
“Noooo!”
Meng Lei’s palm strike descended from above and instantly engulfed the eight Great Perfection deities, crushing everything in its path before crashing onto the ground in the end.
The mountains and the ground shook intensely, and dust swirled about everywhere as a deafening boom rang out.
By the time Meng Lei retracted his palm, a massive, 100,000-feet-long pit that reached several thousand meters deep had formed on the ground.
All eight Great Perfection deities laid quietly at the bottom of the pit, bathed in blood and with their bones and tendons all broken. They had died on the spot and were all deader than dead.
“Fighting a Chief God when you’re just ordinary Great Perfection deities? What were you even thinking?” Meng Lei remarked with a shake of his head.
He then lifted the eight dead bodies with a casual wave of his hand and went through the familiar process of gouging out their divine cores, destroying their divine spirits, and tossing their dead bodies to the little golden tree.
“What a shame that there are only two Great Perfection divine cores out of all eight Great Perfection deities!”
Meng Lei fiddled with the eight divine cores in his hand, feeling somewhat regretful about the situation. “On top of that, one of them is even an ordinary Great Perfection divine core without any ascension potential.”
Whether or not a Great Perfection deity could continue to further themselves was determined by the five types of basic laws of nature that they had assimilated.
If these five types of basic laws of nature happened to correspond with any of the five types of basic laws of nature needed to comprehend a type of supreme laws of nature, they would naturally progress further.
If not, it would become impossible for them to ever progress any further in their entire lives and would forever only be a Great Perfection deity.
“Never mind, I’ll just keep them for now.”
Meng Lei didn’t bestow the two Great Perfection divine cores upon his subordinates right away but chose to keep them with him for now. He would distribute them again when he gained more Great Perfection divine cores in the future instead.
“To think eight Great Perfection deities have died just like that!”
Moro sighed emotionally as he remarked, “They’ve probably never ever thought that they would end up remaining here for all time in such a manner.”
“Greed blinds the eye of judgment. Who can they blame other than themselves?”
Meng Lei shook his head and said, “Let’s go. We’ll empty the Desert Manro Nagas’ treasury first and then leave this place after that.”
“Do you know how to get there?” asked Moro as he raised an eyebrow.
“Yup!”
Meng Lei started teleporting in the direction of the Nagas’ den right away. He had read the Manro Empress’ memories, so he naturally knew how to get there.
Half an hour later, Meng Lei arrived at the Desert Manro Nagas’ palace area and easily found the treasury after that.
“Transfer!”
Whoosh!
A short while later, he had emptied the entire treasury.
Meng Lei collected everything that the system could collect—such as Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, and so on—and gave the rest to Puhaman and the others.
Wealth: 2,198 trillion Divinity Crystals
He currently had riches totaling 2,198 trillion Divinity Crystals!
This was the total amount of riches that he had gained after his series of actions like ransacking Dragon-Elephant City, killing the eight Great Perfection deities, and emptying the Desert Manro Nagas’ treasury. He wasn’t far from reaching the 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals he needed to buy credit for a type of supreme laws of nature now!
“I’ll keep up the good work!”
Meng Lei determined the correct direction to go in, and then he started to fly toward the nearest city.
As he flew, he also began to clean up the divine cores and spatial rings he had previously gotten. These were left behind by the deity masses that the eight Great Perfection deities had killed when they were clearing out the area.
Their divine spirits were still in the divine cores, while the spatial rings housed their financial assets.
On top of that, all of them were super experts that were high-level higher deities, even at the weakest. Therefore, he could safely earn a pretty sum no matter what, be it through destroying their divine spirits or ransacking their spatial rings.
“Ding! 1 Eight-Winged Angel killed. 900 million Divinity Crystals gained.”
“Ding! 1 Primordial Behemoth King killed. 1.02 billion Divinity Crystals gained.”
“Ding! 1 Giant Elephant killed. 910 million Divinity Crystals gained.”
“Ding...”
By the time Meng Lei destroyed all the divine spirits in the divine cores, he had already gained an additional 11 trillion Divinity Crystals and gained a small windfall. Then, he began to go through the spatial rings...
Three days later, Meng Lei arrived at the nearest city.
According to the Manro Empress’ memories, this particular city was known as the Venus Colossal Dragon City. Located at the Nidhogg Continent periphery, this was a third-rate city that the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods had built.
The Nidhogg Continent?
That’s right!
This particular continent currently in front of him was part of the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods’ territory. The entire continent was the Colossal Dragon Gods’ fief, and they were the worthy masters of the continent.
“Little fellow, you’ve entered the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods’ territory now. You’d better not behave in the same unrestrained manner as you had previously.”
A mirthful Moro said, “You’d better tone it down a little. If you dare so much as to create any trouble here, the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods definitely won’t let you off.”
“The Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods are one of the most powerful godly clans in the Earth Divine Realm!”
Meng Lei had an extremely bright smile on his face as he said, “And being powerful means that they’ll also be rich. If I ransack the Nidhogg Continent, surely I’ll gain a lot of money?”
“I really don’t understand what you want that much money for.”
Moro shook his head and added, “I have to remind you once more—the Nidhogg Chief God resides in the central region of this very same continent. You’d best tone it down!”
“Haha!”
Meng Lei went straight above the Venus Colossal Dragon City and repeated the same trick he had previously used—using his powerful Transfer ability to loot Divinity Crystals.
As expected of a third-rate city, it was larger in scale, housed more experts, had an even more flourishing economy, and naturally even more Divinity Crystals. In the short span of a morning’s time, the number of Divinity Crystals that Meng Lei had looted could already rival the total amount he had gotten from Dragon-Elephant City over a span of three days. The difference was extraordinary.
But as he looted the city, Meng Lei suddenly discovered in the afternoon that large numbers of higher deities had actually left the city.
“What’s going on?”
Meng Lei looked stupefied.
Now that I’m here, you guys are actually leaving?
