Chapter 321: The Fall Of the Dragon God, The Frost Gods

“It’s just a pity that you won’t get this chance anymore!”

A cold voice rang, and the Dragon God bounced up immediately. His face turned pale and colorless. “Meng... Meng Lei!”

He might not be that familiar with other’s voices, but Meng Lei’s voice was so distinct that he would never forget it—that was a nightmarish existence!

Meng Lei appeared in the cave and looked at the ghastly pale Dragon God. “Dragon God, so we meet again, or I should say, we’ve finally met.”

He had only seen the divinity projection previously, so this was the first time Meng Lei saw the Dragon God’s true self. Hence, it was indeed their first actual meeting.

“What... What do you want?” The Dragon God quivered as his voice trembled.

“What do I want?” Meng Lei replied indifferently. “You have consistently opposed me and even wanted me dead. How about you tell me what I want?”

“S-spare me!”

The Dragon God dropped onto his knees with a thud as he kowtowed again and again. “Lord Meng Lei, I was wrong. I beg for your mercy and let me live...”

Meng Lei looked down at the Dragon God, kneeling and begging with many emotions running through his mind. A few years ago, the Dragon God had been a deity far above anyone in the Dragon God Empire—he was worshiped by many, and its prestige was unrivaled in the empire.

While Meng Lei was just a nobody who had just left the novice village and had to bow in respect to the statue of the Dragon God, otherwise, it would have been a grave offense.

Yet, the great figure that he once looked up to was now a miserable fellow on his knees begging for mercy.

How ironic was that?

“A King from the past has fallen into Bronze, and the Bronze in the past has risen to become a King[1].”

The speed of how things could change in life was a blur!

“It’s too late to ask for forgiveness now!”

Meng Lei pointed his finger, and a hole appeared on the Dragon God’s head. The body went stiff and fell straight down. He was truly dead.

Meng Lei waved his hands and kept the Dragon God’s carcass. He took off his spatial ring and started checking. The Dragon God was indeed a pauper with little Divinity Crystals and other treasures. Meng Lei lost interest after only a glance.

“Time to go back.”

Meng Lei and Dodola returned to the Dragon God’s divine nation. With the Dragon God’s death, this vast divine nation had begun to show signs of collapse.

“Dodola, how long does it take for the Dragon God’s divine nation to collapse?” Meng Lei asked casually.

“It can be as short as 1,000 years or as long as 10,000 years,” Dodola replied as it looked around and seemed to be searching for something.

After a while, Dodola smiled. “It is really there. It seems I’ve guessed it right!”

“What?”

Meng Lei was puzzled.

“The Great Void Shift teleportation magic circle.” Dodola laughed. “Come on. I’ll show you!”

Whoosh!

In the next second, they arrived at a majestic mountain top. It was extremely flat, and a magic circle of an incredible size was drawn here, while the center of the magic circle was constructed with Divinity Crystals.

“This is the Great Void Shift teleportation magic circle, Ambrose and those 50 Dark Demonic Dragons descended through this thing.” Dodola smiled as it explained, “The Thunderbolt Divine Realm was too far away from Heaven’s Vault Continent, which could not be reached through ordinary teleportation magic circles. Only the Great Void Shift teleportation magic circle can do so.”

“So for existential planes that are too far away from each other, they use this to link up. That’s something new!” Meng Lei realized.

“Duh!”

Dodola laughed. “Wait till you conquer more territories, and you’ll need to use this Great Void Shift teleportation magic circle for every existential plane.”

“You’re right, so I must learn this!”

Meng Lei sat above the teleportation magic circle at once to study it.

“Meng Lei, how are you going to deal with this teleportation magic circle?” Dodola reminded him.

Meng Lei understood what it meant. “You’re worried that Ambrose will bring in reinforcements for revenge?”

“One can never be too careful. Ambrose has just taken a hard fall. How can he take it? We should just destroy it.”

Dodola reminded again, “Plus, the Tower of Time. It’s something that even Chief Gods might be vying for, so keeping this teleportation magic circle will ultimately be problematic!”

“The Tower of Time...”

Meng Lei went silent. If it was just between him and Ambrose, Meng Lei was not too worried about that.

Ambrose could come all he wanted. Why would Meng Lei be afraid?

It was exactly what he would have hoped for, as he could earn a fortune from it.

However, when it concerned the Tower of Time, things would be complicated. Its attraction was too great, so what if a Chief God was attracted here?

“Destroy it then!”

Meng Lei ultimately destroyed the Great Void Shift teleportation magic circle and cut off the connection to the Thunderbolt Divine Realm, blocking the pathway there.

After that, Meng Lei and Dodola returned to Heaven’s Vault Continent.

“We welcome your return, Master!”

Puhaman, Thaniel, Galen, and the rest were excited as their eyes were only left with great admiration and awe toward Meng Lei.

“Rise, everyone!”

Meng Lei waved his hand slightly and gazed upon Puhaman. “How’s your injury?”

“I’m grateful for Master’s concern. I’m fine!”

Puhaman slightly panicked as he hurriedly replied.

“Good to hear that.”

Meng Lei nodded slightly and looked at everyone. “All of you can carry on with your work and finish the migration plan as soon as possible. Then start cultivating as your powers are still rather weak.”

“Yes, Master!”

They lowered their heads in shame.

Weak?

My goodness! We aren’t weak at all. It’s just that you have improved too fast!

Having sent everyone away, Meng Lei returned to the palace and took out the Dark Demonic Dragons and the dead bodies of intermediate deity-level for absorption.

The dead bodies he kept were all intermediate deity-level that were filled with massive amounts of life essence.

Gurgle!

Every carcass was soon turned into dried corpses.

Life essence surged into his body as Meng Lei’s divine body strengthened. Each bloodline was improved under the nourishment of the immense life essence.

After devouring all the bodies, Meng Lei felt that his divine body’s strength was at least doubled. It might be enough to even smash Ambrose if he was standing in front of him.

“This isn’t enough! It’s far from it!”

Meng Lei’s eyes flashed as he read Ambrose’s memories. He knew deep inside that even with the power he possessed already, it was far from satisfactory.

The higher deity was a vast realm, excluding Gods like the Titan Gods who specialized in cultivating their divine body, higher deities specialized in comprehending laws of nature.

Assimilation of two types of laws of nature equated to Elementary-level higher deity.

Assimilation of three types of laws of nature equated to Middle-level higher deity.

Assimilation of four types of laws of nature equated to High-level higher deity.

Assimilation of five types of laws of nature equated to Great Perfection-level higher deity!

The difference between each realm was massive, comparable to the difference between a mortal and a true god!

As for Ambrose’s divine incarnation, it was only an Elementary-level higher deity.

It meant that Meng Lei had only killed the weakest higher deity with the Power of Existential Plane’s help, which was not anything to be proud about.

“I’m still too weak. I need to keep on grinding!”

Meng Lei checked his personal stats interface.

Wealth: 23.3 million Divinity Crystals

“How can I not spend this much money?”

“System, continue the Super Pickup!”

“Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane.”

Meng Lei paused for a moment and said. “The Frost Divine Realm.”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Frost Gods’ bloodline. Will you assimilate it?”
