The six half-deities were on their toes as they carried out Meng Lei’s order without delay. After witnessing that battle, Meng Lei’s formidable, almighty image was deeply engraved into their hearts. They were now completely submitted to his command and dared not to spring up any thoughts of rebellion.
An indestructible divine body!
A ghostly incomparable speed!
Black flames that could burn virtually anything!
How could a human half-deity be this powerful?
“Human... what do you want?”
The Spider Goddess bellowed deeply as she could not hold on any longer.
“Simple, submit under my command.” Meng Lei crossed his arms and smiled lightly. “Only by submitting can you survive.”
“In your dreams!”
The Spider Goddess bellowed hysterically, “I’ll rather be burned alive, burned into ashes, burned into a malicious spirit than to ever submit myself to you!”
“Okay, then you can die now, off you go.”
“Come back... I’ll submit!”

As the facts had demonstrated, there was no-one who could face death calmly—not ordinary humans and much less near-immortal half-deities with eternal lifespans.
In fact, half-deities feared death even more so than ordinary humans!
And wasn’t that so? Because the Spider Goddess, the most ancient and most savage half-deity in the underground world, had also submitted to him!
“Knowing that it would’ve turned out this way, why bother doing all that earlier?”
After refining the Spider Goddess’ divine spirit origin energy, Meng Lei retracted the Netherworld Divine Fire on the Spider Goddess and officially took her in under his wing.
“How despicable of you!”
The Spider Goddess, who had transformed into her true form, glowered furiously at Meng Lei, her eyes brimming with indignation.
“Do you not admit defeat?”
A sneering Meng Lei scoffed, “Not only were you unable to beat me, but you were even the one who had submitted on your own accord. I didn’t force you into it, so why should you be so indignant?”
“You—”
The Spider Goddess was livid.
Sure, you certainly didn’t force me into submitting, but you were goddamn burning me with fire! Is that not forcing me into it?!
“Speechless, aren’t you? In that case, then shut up! Otherwise, I don’t mind turning you into a dead spider!”
Meng Lei let out an icy snort and said, “Listen up now, hand over all your wealth and assets. I don’t care if it’s gold coins or treasures. Hand them all over to me! If you dare to keep any for yourself, I’ll destroy you right away!”
“You—”
The Spider Goddess was infuriated, but she nevertheless gave in and obediently offered up all of her savings for the sake of her life.
Only then was Meng Lei satisfied, and he began to look through the Spider Goddess’ assets.
However, what surprised him was that aside from Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, they were all rather strange and peculiar objects!
“What’s this?”
“An Abyss Demon’s heart!”
“What about this?”
“A Cerberus’ skull!”
“What about that pitch-black thing there?”
“A Deep Ocean Magical Whale King’s eyeball!”
“...”
“You sure have some unusual interests!”
After taking all the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Meng Lei returned the rest of the items to the Spider Goddess. That mess of items was of no use to him. The only ones who would be interested in them were probably weirdos like the Spider Goddess!
“Master, we’ve found the Dark Fairies’ treasury!”
His six half-deity subordinates also brought him some good news at this point.
“Wonderful!”
Fifteen minutes later, the Dark Fairies’ treasury also suffered Meng Lei’s ransacking!
Meng Lei had very high expectations these days. Aside from gold coins and Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, he couldn’t be bothered to take run-of-the-mill treasures.
Even so, he still made a fortune!
“I was right in coming to the underground world indeed!”
As he gazed at his stats interface, Meng Lei was in such a fantastic mood that he was even making snot bubbles.

“Not only have I gained the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline and the Transfer ability, but my Wealth has also doubled! On top of that, I’ve also subdued so many half-deity subordinates. This trip was totally worth every penny and more!”
Meng Lei was in a fantastic mood.
His Wealth had previously been 11.31 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, but now it had more than doubled to 23.51 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!
The underground world was worth the trip!
“There’s also the Sunset Ranges and the Golden Archipelago next. I wonder how much profits they’ll bring me? Here’s hoping that they don’t disappoint!”
Meng Lei was in the midst of his thoughts when Dodola’s voice suddenly rang out in his mind. It said, “Meng Lei! Hurry and come in! The Fallen Angel egg is about to hatch!”
“Eh?”
At once, Meng Lei vanished on the spot.
Tower of Time, 96th level.
The 96th level was currently raging like a storm. It was filled with turbulence and unrest, while dark clouds rolled and billowed as lightning flashed and thunder boomed.
A gigantic funnel appeared in the sky and furiously absorbed all the dark elements within 1,000 miles. Then, it surged toward the Fallen Angel egg below!
The blood-red patterns on the egg surface were as though vessels engorged with blood. They gave off a dazzling blood-red brilliance that lit up the area within several miles of where the egg was.

The eggshell quivered rhythmically as though it was breathing. Every time it quivered, it absorbed vast quantities
