How could Meng Lei possibly not become worked up?
Whoosh!
The gates dissipated, and a dazzling, multi-colored light shone through the door frame like a brilliant, eye-catching rainbow.
“What rich laws of nature power!”
Then, Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp—with just a glance, he had caught sight of the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals that rested in full, towering heaps and glittered like colorful jewels.
“So many Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!” exclaimed Meng Lei, whose eyes had lit up at the sight.
“System, collect them all!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
By the time all the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals in the hall were gone, his Wealth had gone through the roof...
786,934 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!
“I’ve struck gold! I’ve struck gold this time!”
Meng Lei raised his head and burst into loud laughter. “Haha! It feels like I’m gonna earn big this time! It’s just a shame that there are so many riches here, yet I can’t use them to buy credit!”
Operating by the principle that every little bit counted, Meng Lei similarly didn’t spare the hall made out of pure gold, either, and earned a pretty little sum out of it.
The third hall was the Elemental Crystals Hall.
Elemental crystals were the product of crystallized magic elements. They weren’t as rare as Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, but they were treasures that could quickly boost a Magician’s magic power, hence making them highly valuable and fairly precious.
The key here was that the sheer number of elemental crystals in the hall was exaggeratedly huge. Piled together in the palace just like mounds of sand, they amounted to more than just 10,000 tons.
The only thing considered a shame was that the system didn’t recognize elemental crystals; hence they couldn’t be directly collected by it. What a pain!
After he collected all the elemental crystals, Meng Lei headed to the fourth palace—the Rare Magic Materials Hall.
Although Meng Lei hadn’t come into much contact with magic materials before, there were nonetheless simply too many areas where they were needed, such as crafting magic staffs, making magic potions, inscribing magic circles, doing magic experiments...
As a result, the magic materials industry had become one of Dragon God Empire’s pillar industries. The tax revenue they brought to Dragon God Empire was far more than just one trillion gold coins.
And now, inside the palace in front of Meng Lei was packed to the brim with various rare and valuable materials. Every one of them could fetch an astronomical price in an auction.
“These also can’t be converted into cash, but I can eat some as snacks...”
And then, he packed them all up and took them with him.
The last palace was a storage area for special artifacts. The first thing Meng Lei spied upon entering was a small, golden-yellow calf section of a leg.
The calf looked like, yet wasn’t gold. Divine energy waves circled around it as it gave off a fearsome and imposing might, causing Meng Lei to feel as if he were facing a primordial beast.
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! 1 Fused Laws of Nature Fragment discovered. Will you assimilate it?”
“A fused laws of nature fragment?”
Meng Lei was slightly taken aback. Could it be a laws of nature fragment that had formed after a few types of laws of nature had fused together with one another?
“Yes, assimilate it!”
Boom!
At once, an enormous wave of information flooded his mind—it was actually information about a “new” type of laws of nature that had formed after two entirely different types of laws of nature had perfectly fused with each other.
The first type represented vitality and thriving growth—this was wood-elemental laws of nature. The other type represented steadfast reliability where those of great virtue could undertake major, significant tasks—this was earth-elemental laws of nature!
“A newly-born Laws of Nature fragment that formed after wood-elemental and earth-elemental laws of nature had... fused together?”
Meng Lei let out a soft exclamation and quickly looked at his stats interface. At once, his eyes widened dramatically, and he almost screamed.
Host: Meng Lei
Race: Human (Contains Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline <100%>)
Wealth: 787,869 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals
Physical Body Constitution: Half-Deity (High-Grade)
Spirit: Divine Spirit (Elementary-Grade)
Power of Divinity: 0.1 Divinity Crystal
Laws of Nature: Wood-Earth Fusion (0.1%)
“0.1%! I... can buy credit for my laws of nature comprehension again now!
“And it’s even a wood-earth fusion law of nature, too! Oh my god, is this even possible?!”
Meng Lei’s heart pounded hard as a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Was there really no other way to assimilate laws of nature other than to split the divine spirit, light up the divine fire, manifest the divine core, and become an intermediate deity first?
Perhaps it was possible that he could fuse all ten types of laws of nature into one before he lit up the divine fire?
“It’s possible! The likelihood definitely exists! But only on the condition that... I can get my hands on more fusion laws of nature fragments first. This way, I’ll be able to buy credit for other types of fusion Laws of Nature fragments too!”
Meng Lei exhaled a long breath of air. His gaze involuntarily fell onto the calf.
“For it to drop a fusion laws of nature fragment, the owner must have been at least an intermediate deity.
“An intermediate deity’s calf... No wonder it gives off such powerful might!”
The second item was a golden skull. Like the calf, divine energy waves also circled around it while power of divinity fluctuated around it—it was probably also a true god’s skull.
Unfortunately, nothing dropped from it this time.
The third item was a pair of wings that strongly resembled a butterfly’s. They were paper-thin and crystal-clear, yet incredibly soft and pliable.
