“The Supreme God of The Underworld?”
Meng Lei was awfully puzzled.
“The Supreme God of The Underworld is one of the greatest existences in the vast universe. He’s also one of the rulers of the Netherworld, which is one of the two major supreme existential planes,” answered Dodola.
“One of the rulers of the Netherworld?!”
Meng Lei’s breathing stopped for a moment there. He exclaimed, “The Hundred-Armed Giants have actually become his guards? They come from a pretty impressive background, then!”
“Of course!”
Dodola nodded lightly.
Meng Lei asked, “What’s up with the Titan Gods, though? Are there also Titans outside of Heaven’s Vault Continent?”
“That’s not the right way to put it because the Titans in Heaven’s Vault Continent are just the Titan Gods’ descendants. They aren’t pure Titan Gods.”
Dodola said dispassionately, “Pure-blooded Titan Gods are one million-feet-tall and are capable of ripping true gods apart. In no way are they inferior to the Fallen Angels of the Demon Realm.”
“Are the Titan Gods actually that savage?”
Meng Lei swallowed as he remarked, “Going by what you’ve said, the Titans on Heaven’s Vault Continent are no different from babies that haven’t grown up—ah, no, they can’t even be considered babies.”
“That goes without saying. The Titan Gods’ descendants are scattered all over the vast universe. Can the Titans on Heaven’s Vault Continent even be considered Titans?”
Dodola scoffed. “In truth, the best habitats for higher races like the Titan Gods and the Fallen Angels are actually high-end existential planes because they’ll only regress if they stay on material planes.”
“I understand now.”
Meng Lei nodded lightly. After chatting with Dodola for a while more, he exited the Tower of Time.
“Where are we now?”
At his question, Bubbles bowed and replied, “Master, we’ve just passed through one of the Titan Empire’s Twelve Pillar Nations, the Great Earth Pillar Nation. We’re about to enter the territory directly under the Titan Empire’s jurisdiction.”
His voice was shaking somewhat. The Titan Empire had once been a country that he’d loved with all his heart, yet he’d been labeled a traitor and a renegade.
Since then, his homeland had become a forbidden zone to him, and he’d never ever returned. Besides... He couldn’t!
In the twinkling of an eye, almost 10,000 years had passed.
But today, he was finally going to be back. Bubbles held extremely complex feelings toward this.
Agitated? Apprehensive? Furious? It seemed like they were all present, yet not entirely so, either. In any case, it was a very complicated feeling.
Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he said, “Continue to search for the Chimeras’ tracks and check who among the Titan Empire the culprits are.”
“Yes, Master!”
Although the Titan Empire was made up of high-rise plateaus, the terrain was fairly level. It was almost all endless plains and fields, with people mainly doing animal husbandry.
Packs of Iron-Horned Oxes... Horned Horse-Elephants that could be seen everywhere... Spotted Iron-Hoofed Goats all over the fields and mountains...
The ones in charge of shepherding them were all humans and Beast People. They lived in tents and shepherded the livestock, laboring away painstakingly.
On the contrary, many big and tall demi-giant nobles rode on large, hulking beasts and raced about in the fields, having the time of their lives.
Meng Lei shook his head lightly and commented, “The humans in the Titan Empire don’t have it that great, either.”
“Master, you may not know this, but humans are also classified as fourth-class beings in the Titan Empire.”
Bubbles explained, “In first-class are the pure-blooded Titans while the Demi-Titans are second-class and other nobles third-class. Normal humans and Beast People are fourth-class, so they are no different from their counterparts in the Dragon God Empire.”
“Fourth-class...”
Then, Meng Lei asked, “How’s the search going? Where have the Chimeras been captured and brought to?”
“Based on the tracks, Master, the Chimeras have likely been brought to the Titan Colossal City.”
“The Titan Colossal City? Let’s go there, then,” replied Meng Lei.
“Yes, Master!”
An hour later, they arrived at the Titan Empire’s capital, the Titan Colossal City.
Shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, the city, which sat atop the Divine Titan Mountain, was situated the highest above sea level among all the cities in Heaven’s Vault Continent. On average, it was over 10,000 meters above sea level!
By right, considering how high they were above sea level, the air there must be very thin, hence making it very difficult for normal people to survive there. Yet the truth was that the weather in the city was nice and pleasant and the environment beautiful, with extremely rich magic elements in the surroundings.
Why was that?
As it turned out, it was because the Titan Colossal City was enveloped in a gigantic magic barrier. The magic barrier absorbed an unending stream of magic elements in the surroundings and supplemented the city with them.
“Master, that’s the Titan Colossal City beneath us!”
Bubbles was rather worked up. “Do we fight our way right in or...”
“No! This is my first time coming to this city. How can I not take a good look around?”
Meng Lei shook his head and said, “After all, this is the city that’s hailed as Heaven’s Vault Continent’s most majestic, most magnificent, and grandest city!”
“As Master commands!”
Bubbles was rather disappointed.
“Let’s go down!”
Perched high on the summit, the Titan Colossal City was as if an ancient fort. The city walls were thick, heavy, and aged, with too many traces left behind by time on them.
A team of 10-meters-tall, silver armor-clad demi-giant guards with iron spears in their hands surveyed the passing crowds with sharp, keen eyes.
When Meng Lei and the others came over, they allowed them all to pass, as though they
