A smug smile appeared on Dodola’s lips.
“Not at all!” Meng Lei replied with a shake of his head.
“That’s correct, then!” With a sigh, Dodola said, “This level is the exact reason why the God of Time had met his demise back then.”
“Just what kind of secrets does this level contain?” Meng Lei was rather confused. “That even an existence as powerful as the God of Time would meet his demise because of it?”
“The reason why this level is totally different from the first 99 levels is that it’s just a seed. The nurturing process hasn’t started yet.” Dodola added, “Once it’s successfully nurtured, it shall surpass all the levels before it. In fact, it will surpass every other ordinary existential plane!”
“Is it really that dramatic?!” Meng Lei was rather skeptical. “So, what kind of secrets does this level exactly contain?”
“This level is an existential plane seed!”
As it enunciated every word carefully, Dodola slowly added, “And on top of that, it’s a high-end existential plane seed!”
“A high-end existential plane seed?”
Meng Lei was rather lost. What was that?
“In the vast universe and the endless void, new planes are constantly being born, and old planes are dying out every moment. The new replaces the old and lives wither while new ones are born. Destruction and birth, dying out and being born—these are supreme laws of the universe!”
With a sigh, Dodola explained, “Just like how it is for everything else in this world, there is also a limit to existential planes’ lifespans. Once they reach the end of their lifespans, existential planes will also die out and become destroyed.
“However, high-end existential planes are an exception to that rule!”
Dodola looked at Meng Lei and said, “High-end existential planes are eternal and immortal. They do not have lifespan restrictions and will never ever die out, much less be destroyed.
“They exist for eternity and are forever immortal! They’re totally different from other normal existential planes and are also known as Eternal Planes.”
“High-end existential planes... don’t die out?”
Meng Lei blinked.
“Yes, they don’t!” Dodola nodded heavily. “Because as of now, none of the high-end existential planes have ever died out!”
“Alright!” Meng Lei nodded slightly. “In other words, the 100th level will eventually evolve into a high-end existential plane?”
“Yes!” Dodola nodded.
“Compared to an ordinary existential plane like Heaven’s Vault Continent, what makes a high-end existential plane different?” A puzzled Meng Lei asked, “The God of Time actually died because of a high-end existential plane seed?”
Dodola replied dispassionately, “There are too many differences between the two. For example, laws of nature in high-end existential planes are clearer and more distinct, they contain more abundant energy, they span a wider territory, and the lives they birth and nurture are of a higher class.
“Have you heard of the ten major Divine Realms? They are the ten most famous high-end existential planes!”
“The ten major Divine Realms?”
Meng Lei found himself dumbfounded once more.
“You don’t even know that?”
Dodola was rendered speechless. “You must be the most ignorant half-deity I’ve ever met. But on account of your age, I’ll forgive you.
“The ten major Divine Realms are the Earth Divine Realm, the Oceanic Divine Realm, the Tempest Divine Realm, the Flaming Divine Realm, the Forest Divine Realm, the Metal Divine Realm, the Thunderbolt Divine Realm, the Light Divine Realm, the Dark Divine Realm, and the Frost Divine Realm.
“These ten high-end existential planes occupy an incredibly wide area that’s practically endless and boundless. Every single one of them is bigger than Heaven’s Vault Continent by more than a billion times.
“In addition, laws of nature in those ten Divine Realms are incomparably distinct, and the rich power of divinity fills the whole plane.
“Saint Domains are everywhere, and half-deities are lesser beings than even dogs. Every living thing from the Divine Realms is an existence that can dominate and rule over Heaven’s Vault Continent if they come here!”
“Is it really that dramatic?!”
Meng Lei swallowed hard.
“Dramatic? Not at all.”
Dodola shook its head. “It’s exactly because of these conditions that many deities who come from ordinary existential planes are all willing to head to the ten major Divine Realms to cultivate because they can cultivate at a faster speed there.
“If you become a deity in the future, you can also consider heading to the ten major Divine Realms. I don’t recommend it, though, because it’s extremely dangerous there.”
“Head to the Divine Realms...”
Meng Lei licked his lips.
“Legend goes that high-end existential planes also hold another benefit, though no-one can verify its authenticity even as of now.” Dodola sighed and said, “My master, the God of Time, lost his life exactly because of this particular legend and ultimately met his demise.”
Meng Lei asked, “What legend is it?”
“It’s said that high-end existential planes can nurture Chief God divine cores1. Do you know what a Chief God divine core is?”
Dodola’s voice was trembling as it said, “It’s a divine core that can allow one to go all the way up to become a supreme Chief God!”
“A Chief God divine core?”
A huge jolt went through Meng Lei.
“My old master once said that becoming a Great Perfection-level higher deity is where the journey ends for a deity. When one reaches that stage, they can no longer advance any further, let alone attain Chief Godhood.”
With a sigh, Dodola said, “It’s only when one assimilates a Chief God divine core that they can become a Chief God. There is no other way.
“And it’s precisely because my old master had heard the legend and believed it that he stole a bigwig’s high-end existential plane seed and unfortunately perished in the end...”
“Deities cannot attain Chief Godhood through cultivation?” Meng Lei murmured to himself, “They can only attain Chief Godhood by assimilating a Chief God divine core? That’s too unfair!”
“It is indeed unfair, but
