“The Dragon God is actually real?”
Meng Lei was terribly shocked.
Calluses had already formed on his ears after hearing everyone going, “Oh my dragon god!” every day. He had initially thought that the so-called Dragon God was the same as the Venerable Master1, Buddha, and God on Earth, and was just an abstract, intangible religion.
Little did he expect that the Dragon God... truly existed!
That’s true!
This is Heaven’s Vault Continent where even stuff of legends like Colossal Dragons and Titans exist. Why can’t the Dragon God be real, too?

Even stuff of legends like Colossal Dragons and Titans existed, so… Why couldn’t deities exist, too?
When he thought of it that way, Meng Lei was able to reconcile himself with the idea. However, after that, another doubt surfaced in his mind—since deities existed, could humans become deities?
If they can, then am I able to become a deity?
“Humans can become deities, of course!” Ol’ Amos gave Meng Lei a definite answer to his query. “Or rather, every lifeform in Heaven’s Vault Continent has the chance to become a deity.”
Ol’ Amos looked up at the starry sky. As he gazed at the dazzling Milky Way shining so brilliantly, he gave a carefree sigh and said, “It’s said that many of the high and mighty deities were once lower lifeforms that became deities through cultivation.”
So, it’s possible!
Meng Lei became excited at once. “How do I become one?”
Ol’ Amos twisted his beard and replied with a smile, “According to old ancient records, there are many ways one can become a deity, but for the vast majority of lifeforms, there’s only one route to becoming a deity, and that is—the laws of nature.
“Deities are also known as the controllers of the laws of nature. In other words, as long as you can control the laws of nature, you are a deity.”
“Control the laws of nature?” Meng Lei murmured softly.
“The laws of nature are the truth and essence of everything in the universe and are also the rules and laws that everything in the world must follow. Nothing can break away from the laws of nature during their operation. The laws are supreme and contain inconceivable might!”
Ol’ Amos couldn’t help but let out a laugh. He said, “It’s exactly because the deities can control the laws of nature that they are omnipotent and eternal.”
Meng Lei asked, “In that case, how does one control the laws of nature, Ol’ President?”
“You’re already thinking about controlling the laws of nature when you haven’t even figured out the universe’s momentum? You’re biting off more than you can chew.” Ol’ Amos chided him in amusement.
His response dumbfounded Meng Lei.
“The universe’s momentum is the outward appearance of the laws of nature. If you want to comprehend the laws of nature, then you must be able to control the universe’s momentum first.” Ol’ Amos’ smile disappeared as he said, “It’s only when you can part the fog surrounding the universe’s momentum that you can access laws on a deeper level.”
Meng Lei looked thoughtful at his words.
“To put it simply, one controls the universe’s momentum at ninth-grade,” said Ol’ Amos in conclusion. “While they can only begin to study the laws of nature after they reach Saint Domain level. No matter what, grasping the universe’s momentum will always be a prerequisite.”
“I understand now.” Meng Lei nodded slowly, already starting to come up with plans in his mind.
By spending gold coins in the system, he could also break through the ninth-grade limits to become a Saint Domain.
In other words, it was possible for him to attain Saint Domain level without needing to control the universe’s momentum.
By right, this should have been something positive. However, Meng Lei suddenly realized that even if he did become a Saint Domain, it was very likely that he’d just end up becoming a pseudo-Saint Domain that had the corresponding body sturdiness, spiritual power, and magic power reserves, but not the actual spiritual realm.
It was just like when he had clearly possessed a body comparable to a Ninth-Grade Warrior previously but didn’t have the corresponding Battle Aura cultivation level.
He could only be considered… A pseudo-Ninth-Grade Warrior.
Going by the same vein, it was highly likely that he would really turn into a pseudo-Saint Domain.
In that case, won’t I have the living daylights beaten out of me if I were to run into a real Saint Domain? After all that’s said and done, I still have to comprehend the universe’s momentum, isn’t it? Damn, that’s annoying.
Meng Lei was rather troubled over this. Although spending gold coins in the system could improve his body, spiritual power, and magic power reserves, it couldn’t boost his comprehension of the universe’s momentum and laws of nature.
This means that I’ll have to comprehend the universe’s momentum and nature’s laws step by step properly like other people in the future? How miserable… What’s the use of this lousy system, then?!
Meng Lei cursed silently. Then, he asked, “Ol’ President, what must I do in order to control the universe’s momentum?”
“You’ll have to slowly figure that out on your own.” Ol’ Amos shook his head. “The universe’s momentum is invisible and non-tactile. If you comprehend it, you comprehend it. If you can’t, then there’s no other way. Nobody can help you with that!”
Meng Lei’s brows drew together tightly.
Is it that deep and profound?
“However…” Ol’ Amos twisted his beard with a smile. “You’ve become a Great Ninth-Grade Magician at such a young age—this is your biggest strength.”
“Uh… Is that even considered a strength?” Meng Lei frowned slightly.
“Duh, of course!”
Ol’ Amos snorted and explained, “Life is short, and one’s lifespan is limited. Even a Great Ninth-Grade Magician only has a short lifespan of 100
