“C’mon out!”
Meng Lei grabbed the Black Dragon by the horns. Violent, raging power erupted, and he dragged the Black Dragon right out of its den before hurling it into the far distance!
“Is Master’s physical strength that terrifying?”
Bubbles was dumbfounded.
The Black Dragon, Baxter, was 6,000-feet-long and astonishingly heavy, yet Meng Lei could pick it up in one go. Just how physically strong must he be in order to do that?
As for Little Gold, it had long since been scared witless. In the instant it saw the Black Dragon, it was so frightened that it was shaking like a leaf and could barely suppress its fear.
After all, that was a half-deity!
However, what it found even more shocking and horrifying was that its Boss had actually thrown the Black Dragon out! How could that be?
“Kakaka, the den is mine now!”
Meng Lei let out a few strange cackles before diving into the den like a gust of wind.
“What the f*ck! So many gold coins! So many Laws of Nature Origin Crystals! I’ve struck gold! I’ve struck gold this time!
“Collect! Collect! Collect...”
After a period of frenzied collection, his Wealth spiked to 1.74 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. It had gone through a big round of fattening again!
“That Black Dragon’s assets are indeed ample!”
Only then did Meng Lei, who was in a fantastic mood, begin to collect the other treasures there leisurely.
The remaining treasures were mostly magic cores, magic crystals, and glittering jewels. If not, then they were various grand, lavish ornaments and art pieces from the human world. It was evident that this was one Black Dragon that knew how to enjoy life.
“Hmm? What’s this?”
Meng Lei spied a stone the color of blackish blood lying in an inconspicuous corner of the den. It was pitch-black in color, yet it shone with a blood-red glow.
The system’s icy voice suddenly rang out at this point.
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline. Will you assimilate it?”
“The... Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline?”
Meng Lei immediately contacted Dodola and asked, “Dodola, do you know of the Divine Netherworld Phoenix?”
“It’s a dark-elemental divine beast which hails from Hell. It possesses the Innate Special Ability ‘Rise From The Ashes’ and can be said to be immortal. The Netherworld Divine Fire unique to it is fairly terrifying and can even burn a higher deity dead!
“The Divine Netherworld Phoenix is also an extremely fearsome race in Hell, and the status they hold there is similar to that of the Fallen Angels of the Demon Realm.
“It’s just that it’s extremely difficult for a Divine Netherworld Phoenix to ascend, so it needs to rise from the ashes nine times in its lifetime before it can mature into the adult stage.”
“I see! Take a look at this!” said Meng Lei as he brought out the black stone.
“Eh?”
Dodola inspected the blackish-red stone closely. After a long while, it finally said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s phoenix marrow.”
“A phoenix marrow?”
Startled, Meng Lei asked, “What the heck is that?”
“When a Divine Netherworld Phoenix fails in its rebirth, it leaves behind something known as a phoenix marrow, within which contains its blood essence and leftover life essence post-burning.”
Dodola explained, “This thing is a great source of nourishment for the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes, but it’s absolutely useless to you. You can just toss it!”
“Got it!”
After exiting the Tower of Time, Meng Lei promptly instructed, “System, assimilate the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline!”
“Ding! Assimilating the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline now!”
“Ding! Assimilation unsuccessful.”
“Ding! Primeval Bloodline activation condition has been triggered. Will you activate your Primeval Bloodline?”
“Primeval Bloodline? What’s that?
“Never mind, I’ll just activate it first!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrank by 100 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
“Ding! Primeval Bloodline activation successful.”

Chapter 225: The World Genesis Plane, Netherworld Divine Fire
“The Primordial Human bloodline?”
A puzzled Meng Lei stared at the stats interface. He was a human, so it was easily understandable why he would possess the human bloodline.
But what was a Primordial Human?
Were they this body’s ancestors?
“Aren’t you going to explain, system?”
There was no response from the system. Left with no other choice, Meng Lei could only approach Dodola.
“The Primordial Humans? Where did you hear of them from?” Dodola was greatly surprised.
“From some random place!”
Meng Lei made up some ridiculous answer on the spot.
“The Primordial Humans are a legendary race that has died out over the long course of time. Most typical people wouldn’t know of them!”
Dodola side-eyed Meng Lei with an expression that said, “Go on with your stories, I’m watching”.
“So, you know of the Primordial Humans?”
Meng Lei quickly asked, “Since you do, then hurry up and tell me about them. Stop jabbering so much!”
“There’s not a single truth out of your mouth all the time!”
Dodola grumbled before it explained, “Speaking of Primordial Humans, we have to go way back into the past. It’s said that during the very beginning of the vast universe, only a single existential plane had been born.”
“A single existential plane?”
Meng Lei was startled to hear that.
“Yes, just a single existential plane!”
Dodola said, “That existential plane is the legendary World Genesis Plane!
“It’s said that the first living beings came into existence after a long period of time and evolution after the birth of the World Genesis Plane. They are also the very first batch of living beings in the vast universe.
“These beings were incomparably powerful. They either had fearsome divine bodies, or controlled powerful
