“I’m still too weak. If I’d been stronger, Ol’ President wouldn’t have died. At the bottom of it all, it’s still a matter of strength.
“System, bring up the stats interface!”
Whoosh!

“‘Physical Body Constitution: Half-Deity’? ‘Elementary-level’? Where are the numerical values? They’re gone?
“Since the numerical values are gone, does that mean that I can’t directly improve my Physical Body Constitution through credit redemption anymore?
“Is that so, System?”
The system gave him a definite answer. It replied, “Without concrete numerical values, the host naturally cannot redeem any credit.”
“Alright! So be it, then!”
Meng Lei curled his lip in disdain. “Well, as long as I can still redeem credit for bloodline assimilation rate. That way, I can enhance my body all the same.
“But as someone that also has the body of a half-deity, why was I unable to kill the Tree of Life?”
Meng Lei’s eyes were cold and dark.
What he didn’t know was that even though the Tree of Life was one of the weakest half-deities out there, it had a fairly fearsome half-deity build. Botanical lifeforms had always been known for their tough and durable bodies, as well as their astonishingly high defenses.
A half-deity of a similar level would usually find it challenging to break through a botanical half-deity’s defenses. In Meng Lei’s case, his body had only just broken through to become a half-deity, so how could he possibly kill the Tree of Life?
“Never mind, I won’t think about this anymore.”
Meng Lei’s gaze then landed on the Spirit attribute after it with a shake of his head.
From a Saint Domain with a Physical Body Constitution value of 34 billion points, he had broken through the 100-billion-point upper limit to become a newbie half-deity with a half-deity build. His improvement was undeniably fast, and the distance he had crossed undeniably great.
But... The disadvantages were too obvious, and that was... His soul!
Or rather, his spiritual power.
It was precisely because his soul was too weak that it had ended up giving the Tree of Life the chance to counterattack and give him one final blow, thereby indirectly causing Ol’ Amos’ death.
“I have to improve my soul’s durability. I mustn’t have such an obvious weakness. Unfortunately... I don’t have enough money...”
After a moment’s hesitation, Meng Lei ultimately still brought out the spatial ring that Ol’ Amos had left him. Stored within the ring was Ol’ Amos’ lifetime’s worth of assets.
“Ol’ President...”
Meng Lei heaved a sigh. His spiritual power entered the ring, and then, he was stunned at once.
“I-it’s so huge!!”
“Huge”? How could the word “huge” even cut it?
One practically couldn’t see to the end!
Inside the spatial ring was actually a continent that stretched on for hundreds of kilometers!
Standing tall and proud in the continent were mountains of gold, heaps of magic cores, Magical Beast carcasses, hills of elemental crystals...
The mountains of gold were big and lofty, tall and towering!
The innumerable magic cores came by the billions and more!
All the carcasses were of Ninth-Grade and Saint Domain Magical Beasts. There wasn’t any weaker than that!
Multi-colored magic crystals and glittering elemental crystals almost blinded Meng Lei!
“These are Ol’ President’s lifetime worth of assets? Isn’t this a little too much... and a little too incredible?!”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp, intense feelings of gratitude welling up within him.
“Thank you, Ol’ President. I will put these things to good use!”
“System, collect all the gold coins!”
Whoosh!
As the mountains of gold vanished one by one, his Wealth value on his stats interface also began to spike.
4 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, 5 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, 6 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals...
, 30, 40...
In the span of a few breaths, his Wealth had surpassed his previous 73 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal milestone and was continuing to rise at a terrifying speed!
At last, when the number reached 238 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal, it finally came to a stop.
“It has increased by a whole 235 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals! That’s 2,350 billion gold coins! Just the gold coins alone have amounted to so much, not to mention that there are still so many Magical Beast carcasses, magic cores, magic crystals, and elemental crystals...”

“238 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals! What vast assets! System, redeem 100 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals’ worth of Spirit points!”
100 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal = 1,000 billion gold coins = 1,000 billion Attribute Points!
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrank. He was credited with 1,000 billion attribute points, which he added to his Spirit attribute.
Boom!
An icy, surging aura gushed into Meng Lei’s mind and began to furiously enhance his soul.
For a while, Meng Lei could feel his soul’s durability rising exceptionally quickly!
At the same time, in Meng Lei’s vast, boundless sea of consciousness, a silver flame burned quietly, chilly and aloof—it was Meng Lei’s soul flame.
Suddenly, endless golden rays appeared out of nowhere, gushing in from all around and straight toward the silver flame suspended in the air.
The golden rays of light were just like petrol, like firewood, and also like natural gas!
Boom!
The moment they came into contact with the silver flame, the silver flame’s intensity surged dramatically and began to visibly expand.
Expand, expand, and expand!
Doubling, tripling, quadrupling!
Tenfold, twentyfold, fiftyfold!
Boom!
The silver flame expanded to a hundredfold of
