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.

After checking on the extra 700 supreme Divinity Crystal in his stats interface, Meng Lei could not help but laugh. “As I’ve expected, true riches come from mines.”

In the next half a month, Meng Lei went to the nine other Divine Realms to extract from more mines. On average, he would obtain 700-800 supreme Divinity Crystals from every Divine Realm. When he finally finished, Meng Lei obtained a grand total of…

Over 7,000 supreme Divinity Crystals!

Adding to the 2,500 supreme Divinity Crystals from before, his wealth had grown to a stunning 10,000 supreme Divinity Crystals as he got closer to 100,000 that he needed.

“If the ten major Divine Realms can bring me 10,000 supreme Divinity Crystals, I wonder how many more can they mine from the supreme Celestial Realm? Hope it isn’t disappointing.”

Meng Lei was full of anticipation as he went to the supreme Celestial Realm. Yet, the Life Dominus and Death Dominus were still mining, prompting Meng Lei to join in.

The supreme Celestial Realm did not disappoint. The size of its mine reserves and the number of mines were simply incomparable to the ten major Divine Realms.

They mined for another two months before they were finally done. After three months of hard work, the reward was gratifying as Meng Lei earned a total of 130,000 supreme Divinity Crystals.

130,000!

That was crazy!

This meant that Meng Lei’s wealth had reached a staggering 140,000 crystals!

“System, buy credit for the destiny laws of nature.”

100,000 supreme Divinity Crystals were gone. At the same time, a stunning torrent of data rushed into his divine spirit like a breached dam. Immediately after, Meng Lei’s divine spirit entered a magical world.

Countless information of destinies intertwined…

Countless destiny laws of nature in perfect harmony…

Countless destiny runes danced around…

This was the destiny world—or rather—the destiny-origin world.

It contained every destiny laws of nature, and the ultimate comprehension of destiny. Meng Lei did not need to spend too much time comprehending these as they rushed into Meng Lei’s divine spirit, allowing him to learn and master quickly.

“What’s going on with our Master?”

Seeing that Meng Lei was sitting down crossed-legged all of a sudden, the Life Dominus and Death Dominus were rather startled.

He was fine just a while ago… What’s going on?

“It seems like our Master has somehow progressed and broken through!”

“Broke through? Another breakthrough?”

They could not find any more words to describe this man. How did he break through to another level when he was already that powerful? How powerful would he become after breaking through to the next level?

Although they had tons of questions in their minds, the Life Dominus and Death Dominus did not dare to idle as they surveyed the surroundings to prevent any disturbance to Meng Lei.

…

Just as Meng Lei was busy with his comprehension of the destiny laws of nature, there was a dark fissure in the central region of the universe. It looked like a scar engraved on the Void. It also seemed like a giant mouth of a monster that could devour any lifeforms.

This fissure was the Dark Abyss.

No one knew how it came to be, no less what was exactly inside the depths of the Dark Abyss. All they knew was that it was an extremely cold, treacherous, and deathly silent domain. Even Chief Gods would not dare to enter…

This day, a gray skeleton suddenly appeared at the edge of the Dark Abyss before disappearing into the fissure.

The Dark Abyss was bottomless, and its visibility was zero. There were not even any references inside, which made it simple to lose one’s way within. However, the gray skeleton seemed to be familiar with the place as it traveled toward the deepest part of the Dark Abyss.

After traveling for some time, the gray skeleton finally stopped as it gazed at the empty dark void around him. “Darkness, my old friend. Why don’t you show yourself?”

There was no response from the dark void, but the gray skeleton waited quietly with patience. After quite a while, two gigantic red suns appeared abruptly in the empty void.

Wait!

Those were not suns.

They were two blood-red eyes!

The pair of huge blood-colored eyes was gleaming with a bewitching blood-red glow, and a deep, hoarse voice came across.

“Old skeleton, your days are limited. Why didn’t you live freely before the arrival of death and instead came here?”

“Hehe, I want to, but someone won’t allow that!” The gray skeleton shook its head as it spoke. “Never mind that, I’ll get straight to the point. A powerful being was born during this era with nothing known about him, but he’s capable of surpassing a Supreme God! You should know what this means.”

“Hehehe! Did you come all the way here just to joke with me, old skeleton?” ‘Darkness’ said mockingly, “It’s not even halfway past this era, so how is it possible for an expert like this to be born at this stage? And even surpass a Supreme God? Hehehe…”

“It’s all true!”

The gray skeleton did not waste any time to say everything about Meng Lei. When he finished, ‘Darkness’ fell silent.

“Although we don’t fear him, his growth speed is too alarming. When this era comes to an end, who knows what he’ll become?” The gray skeleton said, “We must kill him! Or else, we’ll be gone in this era!”

“Old skeleton, I’m different from you. I still have the next era,” ‘Darkness’ said slowly.

“Next era?”

The gray skeleton sneered as he spoke in a tone full of mockery. “By the time he finally refines this universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe, do you think the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process will still happen then?”
