“For a lot of people, by the time they’ve cultivated till the ninth-grade realm, their hair has already turned white from old age. How much time do they have left to comprehend the universe’s momentum?”
Meng Lei nodded. He made a lot of sense there.
“Because you don’t need to worry about dying from old age so soon, you have ample time to comprehend the universe’s momentum. You’re not just a mere step ahead of others.” Ol’ Amos stroked his beard as he gazed at Meng Lei. “However, your biggest weakness is that your magic talent is too good, and you actually have four types of elemental affinities—thunder, fire, earth, and wood—at the same time.”
“Is that a weakness?” Meng Lei was dumbfounded.
“Of course!” Ol’ Amos’ countenance was stern as he explained, “Having four types of magic talent means that you’ll need to spend four times, perhaps even longer, the amount of time others need in order to comprehend the universe’s momentum. That’s a huge rise in the difficulty level.”
Meng Lei’s brows drew together.
“Therefore, I’d suggest that you give up three of them and choose only one type to comprehend.” Ol’ Amos said with a smile, “You have excellent talent. If you cultivate only one element, I have confidence that you can start to see the laws of nature’s vague outlines and successfully break through to Saint Domain.”
Choosing only one element from among thunder, fire, earth, and wood?
Meng Lei fell silent.
Frankly speaking, he didn’t want to give up any of them. These were elemental affinities that he had only picked up after so much trouble. What a waste it would be to discard them…
“Let me think about this,” Meng Lei replied with a shake of his head.
“Think about it properly, brat.”
Ol’ Amos didn’t press him further but smiled and twisted his beard instead.
He understood very well how Meng Lei felt. Nobody that had four types of elemental affinities at the same time like him would want to give up any of them.
However, at times like this, one must learn how to make a choice.
Otherwise, there was a high chance that they would end up inhibiting both sides and end up wasting a great amount of time. To Great Ninth-Grade Magicians with such short lifespans, this was unacceptable.
“Alright, I understand.”
Meng Lei nodded lightly and changed the depressing subject. He asked, “Ol’ President, what happened after the deities descended? Did they kill off all the Golden Gods-Slaying Ants?”
“Yes!”
Ol’ Amos nodded lightly. “The Golden Gods-Slaying Ants may be strong—among which, some of them could even contend with the deities—but they ultimately weren’t a match for the deities’ joint siege on them.
“In the end, the Golden Gods-Slaying Ants were completely annihilated by the deities. In fact, to prevent the Golden Gods-Slaying Ants from making a comeback, the deities even wiped out every single offspring that had inherited the Golden Gods-Slaying Ants’ bloodline.”
At this point, the way Ol’ Amos looked at Meng Lei turned complex at once. “Unfortunately, there were still some that had slipped through the cracks, and you… are evidently one of them.”
“There must be a lot of them that got away. Who knows just how many there are concretely?”
Meng Lei touched his nose, wishing he could say that the one that had truly slipped through the cracks was actually Little Gold and not him.
I’m just an idle onlooker that accidentally picked up the Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline.
“Brat, you must keep this in mind.” Ol’ Amos suddenly became very stern, unprecedentedly so. “No matter when, you must never let anyone know that you have the Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline in you. Otherwise, a great disaster will befall upon you.”
“I understand, Ol’ President.”
Mildly alarmed, Meng Lei nodded to indicate that he’d understood. His life was at stake here; he had to be cautious about it.
Ol’ Amos nodded lightly. “I’m glad you understand.”
At that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake. As if thousands upon thousands of horses were running across the ground, it emitted deep, dull, and varied explosions.
“Has the ant tide come?”
Meng Lei raised his head and looked around him.
“No, it’s not the ant tide!” Ol’ Amos shook his head. “The commotion is too great; it must be some kind of creature that’s even bigger. You must be careful and stay vigilant.”
True enough, Ol’ Amos was right.
The shaking in the ground intensified further and further. As trees broke and splintered, repulsive, savage-looking Underground Cave Magical Spiders with eight legs each and over a dozen meters long showed up one by one.
Their numbers were astonishing, and one couldn’t see till the end of them. They surrounded Meng Lei on all sides and thoroughly sealed off all his escape routes.
“Underground Cave Magical Spiders!”
The corners of Meng Lei’s lips quirked upward. “Are they here to send themselves to death’s door?”
Screech!
A sharp, ear-piercing cry suddenly rang out, and the Underground Cave Magical Spiders parted to make way.
Thud, thud, thud!
Amid deep, dull, and inseparably close thuds, a blood-red monster and taller than a 20-story building slowly walked in.
“Pinnacle-level Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor!”

The massive, fully blood-red creature stood erect on the ground like a peerless ferocious beast from the depths of hell. It gave off a violent, malevolent aura that could make one’s hair stand on end and shiver in fear.
“The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor!”
Ol’ Amos’ pupils contracted in shock, and he shouted, “Brat, that’s the pinnacle-level Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor! It’s very hard to deal with, you must take absolute care.”
“Understood!”
Even without Ol’ Amos’ reminder, Meng Lei could already feel the fiendish, savage aura emanating from the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor.
Judging from its aura alone, it was even more fearsome than the Titanic Dragon-Ape he had encountered in the past. How would Meng Lei possibly dare to be negligent and careless?
Thud, thud, thud!
The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s legs were like eight tall, towering trees covered
