Meng Lei was mildly astonished. He couldn’t help but take a few more looks at her. “So it’s the Empress of the Dark Fairies. I’ve heard a lot about you!”
“We Dark Fairies have lived underground for all the previous generations. Aside from those hypocritical Fairies of Nature, very few have ever heard of us.”
The Dark Fairy Empress sounded cold and aloof—evidently, she didn’t quite believe Meng Lei.
“I’ve heard about the Dark Fairies only because I’ve read about them in an ancient textbook!”
Meng Lei gave her a small smile, and then his gaze swept across the four half-deities one by one.
A Golden Dragon-Lion!
A Fallen Titan!
The Chimera Queen!
The Dark Fairy Empress!
“So, the reason for your sudden visits today is because all four of you wish to relieve me of my worries and troubles?” asked Meng Lei with a smile.
“We’ll speak openly!”
The Fallen Titan said, “At our cultivation level, deification is a far and distant journey with no end in sight if we depend solely on ourselves for cultivation. In fact, you can even call it wishful thinking.
“Therefore, we need worshipers, we need to spread our faith, and we need to collect the power of faith. That way, perhaps we might have a chance at deification and become a supreme existence like that!”
Then, the Fallen Titan glared at Meng Lei and said, “Since you’ve taken down and occupied the vast Dragon God Empire, I hope you can set aside 1/5 of the territory for me to spread my faith.”
“What about you?”
Meng Lei turned to the Chimera Queen.
“Sunset Ranges is barren and bitterly cold. Not only are we severely lacking in resources, but we are also located at the borders between the Titan Empire and the Beast People Empire, which has thrown us into great suffering because of the two empires’ warring.”
The Chimera Queen said softly, “Besides, we Chimeras were originally part of the Dragons. Returning to Dragon God Empire and taking back everything that belongs to us is the long-cherished wish of us, the Chimera clan!”
“So?”
Meng Lei chuckled.
“I hope that you can take pity on the Chimeras and hand over the Wood Dragon Kingdom, as well as the forests in the vicinity of the kingdom, to us, the Chimeras, so that we may use it as our new habitat.”
The Chimera Queen gazed at Meng Lei hopefully with her sensual eyes.
“The Wood Dragon Kingdom and the forests surrounding it roughly make up about 1/5 of Dragon God Empire’s territory, doesn’t it? Nice plan!”
With a soft laugh, Meng Lei then turned to the Dark Fairy Empress next. “I’m sure the great Empress likely is thinking the same thing, too?”
“A man’s wealth is his own ruin!”
The Dark Fairy Empress said in a cold and aloof voice, “Dragon God Empire is a piece of juicy meat. By right, everyone who catches sight of it should be entitled to a share of it!”
“All that catches sight of it should be entitled to a share?”
Meng Lei let out a soft chuckle.
“Leaving the underground world and establishing a Dark Fairy Empire has always been Nagaros’ long-cherished wish. To see the wish fulfilled, the Empress fears nothing!”
Thackeray, the Golden Dragon-Lion, was full of praises for her. Then, he said, “Meng Lei, my young friend, Dragon God Empire is a piece of juicy meat that all the half-deities in the continent are eying covetously. For the sake of the power of faith, they will resort to anything.
“Wolves in the shadows surround you while hungry tigers also linger at your door.
“Your current situation is extremely dire. A moment of carelessness would see you cleanly devoured by these starving half-deities!”
“So, all of you are here to help me out?”
Meng Lei’s lips corners quirked upward, seemingly amused.
“That’s right! We’re here to help you, of course. In fact, we’re willing to form an alliance with you!”
Thackeray, the Golden Dragon-Lion, said, “As long as the five of us form an alliance, we’ll be able to look out for one another and stand against those who invade us, thereby helping to safeguard Dragon God Empire!”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. “Such highfalutin talk. At the bottom of it all, aren’t you just trying to snatch a slice of the pie from me?”
Meng Lei turned to the other three and said, “If I do as you wish and give away 1/5 of Dragon God Empire’s territory to every half-deity who comes here to ask for it, even the enormous Dragon God Empire probably won’t be enough for all of you to split among yourselves, isn’t it?”
“Meng Lei, my young friend, in that case, you aren’t agreeable to it?” Thackeray’s brows drew together slightly.
“Of course, I’m not going to goddamn agree, you huge fool!”
Meng Lei suddenly broke into expletives. “I’ll tell you this—Dragon God Empire is mine! Don’t anyone dare think of taking away even an inch of the territory! Not even the heavenly gods!
“Whoever dares to reach out for it will have their hand chopped off by me!
“Whoever dares to eye and covet it will be freaking cleaved apart by me!
“If you want to steal my cake, then it’ll depend on whether your head is hard enough and whether your neck is tough enough!”
“How audacious!!”
“How impudent!”
“How presumptuous!”

“T-that’s...”
In the sky a short distance away, Thaniel suddenly stopped in his tracks and gazed at the five figures standing in the sky above the imperial palace, a look of shock coming over his features.
“What’s wrong, Grandmaster?”
Thaniel currently had someone in his grasp. Dressed in golden robes with a crown on his head, it was the Fire Dragon King—Flit the 66th!
“Four half-deities!”
Thaniel’s countenance was grave as he exclaimed, “Four half-deities have appeared above the
