The gigantic human visage was full of disdain as it scoffed. “He’s only impressive in an ordinary material plane. In the Void, he’s no different from a pile of sh*t!”
“...”
Meng Lei was rendered speechless. If the Dragon God was a pile of sh*t, then what was he?
“Although the God of Time is a higher deity of Great Perfection level because he has comprehended one of the supreme forms of laws of nature—time-based laws of nature—his combat power is on par with a Chief God’s.”
A look of idolization brimmed on the gigantic human visage as it said, “Thus, he is also known as the God of Time. In some places, they even address him as the Chief God of Time and place him among the ranks of the Chief Gods!”
“Is the God of Time that awesome?” gasped Meng Lei.
Then, he asked, “Just now, you said that the Dragon God Tower is something that the God of Time had exhausted an infinite amount of time and effort to forge, right? Why is it in a place like this, then? And has even become the Dragon God Tower?”
“I’ll correct you once more—this is the Tower of Time, not some sh*tty, nonsensical Dragon God Tower!”
The gigantic human visage glared at Meng Lei before it answered, “The reason why the Tower of Time is here is that it ended up crossing turbulent time-space currents after the God of Time’s demise and ultimately became lost in this plane until the Dragon God subsequently obtained it!”
“Demise? The God of Time is dead?” Meng Lei was astonished. “Didn’t you claim that the God of Time’s combat power rivals that of a Chief God? Why did he meet his demise? Who was capable enough to kill him?”
“Mortal, you ask too many questions!” The gigantic human visage’s expression suddenly turned icy-cold. “Snooping into a deity’s secrets isn’t a good habit!”
“Fine!”
Meng Lei curled his lip disdainfully, secretly thinking to himself, “This fellow sure has a pretty bad temper!”
“Just now, you said that I’ve become the Dragon God T— Cough, the Tower of Time’s new master. What do you mean by that?”
Meng Lei was rather puzzled. “Where’s the Dragon God? Isn’t he the Tower of Time’s master?”
“No, no, no! The Dragon God has never once been the Tower of Time’s master—although he wishes even in his dreams that he could be.”
The gigantic human visage gave a resolute negative answer to that.
“The Dragon God has merely temporarily borrowed the Tower of Time due to his advantage in proximity to it when it was lost in this plane.
“During this long passage of time, it wasn’t just once that the Dragon God—that weak, little intermediate deity—had attempted to refine the Tower of Time in order to claim ownership over it and become its new master.
“But evidently, he has never once succeeded, and neither will he ever. All these are just his wishful thinking!”
“But the Dragon God is an intermediate deity, right? Even someone like him couldn’t refine the Tower of Time?”
Meng Lei was astounded. “By what virtue was I able to become the Tower of Time’s new master?”
“The great God of Time had left a holy decree before his fall—only those who possess magic talent for the five elements—Thunder, Fire, Wind, Light, and Dark—and successfully reach the highest level before they turn 30 years old can become the Tower of Time’s new master.”
The gigantic human visage’s mouth opened and closed as it explained, “You’re 16 years old this year. You’ve successfully reached this place. And you’ve exhibited magic talent for said five elements during your tower-climbing process. Therefore, you completely fulfill the conditions of inheritance.”
“Aren’t those conditions a little too demanding?”
Meng Lei was completely dumbfounded.
Reaching the top level before one turned 30-years-old was, by itself, already something that wasn’t quite possible, let alone be someone that possessed magic talent for those five elements.
Stacking these two conditions together practically made this a hell-mode challenge. Who would be able to meet such standards?
“It’s precisely because it’s demanding that you’re the only one who managed to achieve it during the last 40,000-odd years!”
Then, the gigantic human visage shook its head and commented, “In truth, that little fellow from 10,000 years ago would have also succeeded, but that dog—the Dragon God—had ordered him killed!”
“10,000 years ago? Could it be Timon Barton?”
Meng Lei narrowed his eyes slightly as he remarked, “So he has indeed been disposed of by the Dragons! What a bunch of shameless people!”
“That’s very normal. The Dragon God has been racking his brains to usurp the Tower of Time, so how would he possibly allow others to lay claim to it?”
The gigantic human visage sneered and said, “Didn’t you run into him just now, too? If you hadn’t been strong enough, you would also have been killed by him and perished mid-way.”
“The Dragon God! I’ll remember him!”
Meng Lei clenched his fists as a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. “Just you wait...”
“Alright! We can talk about the matter of revenge in the future!”
Then, the gigantic human visage said calmly, “Let me ask you this—are you willing to inherit the Tower of Time and become its new master?”
Meng Lei was silent for a moment before he said, “Before that, you must first answer a question of mine!”
“Say it!”
“What are the advantages and disadvantages of inheriting the Tower of Time?”
A shrewd glint flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes as he said, “Be clear about the pros and cons first, and then I’ll consider whether or not I want to inherit the Tower of Time.”
“The Tower of Time is a high-tier divine weapon that stores all the God of Time’s wealth and assets. At the same time, it also contains the God of Time’s legacy.
“The most important thing is that the
