Bewildered, Meng Lei connected to one of the threads of faith, and then he heard an aged and hoarse, but exceptionally pious voice.
“Oh the supreme Great God Meng Lei, I am Constantine Macaric. I’m going out to sea tomorrow. Please watch over me and let me return safely!”
“He’s a Golden Archipelago resident!”
Meng Lei deduced the worshiper’s background in an instant. Then, he picked another thread of faith and began to listen.
“Oh noble and great Lord, I am a worker at Zebra Island’s pig farm. I am sick and tired of my current life. Please bless me and let me find a Battle Aura manual...”
“Zebra Island? It’s someone from the Golden Archipelago again!”
Meng Lei checked the threads one by one and realized that all the worshipers were from the Golden Archipelago.
He spread his divine cognition into the surroundings and saw several statues, as well as groups of worshipers on their way to pray to him.
Meng Lei found this very incredible. All he had done was obviously just having a night’s sleep.
That’s right!
A night’s sleep, that was all! After consuming the Soul Ice Marrow, he had gotten a good, comfortable night’s sleep!
“The Golden Archipelago residents have become worshipers of me after a night’s sleep? Isn’t this a little too weird?
“No, power of faith can’t possibly come about for no reason. Something must have happened!”
Knowing that his four half-deities subordinates were outside, Meng Lei promptly summoned them for clarification.
“Congratulations on completing your seclusion, Master!”
The four of them bowed respectfully.
Meng Lei looked at the four of them and asked, “What’s up with the Golden Archipelago’s power of faith?”
“Master!”
A respectful Bubbles answered, “During this one year when you were in seclusion, we were very bored, so we decided to spread your faith a little. The effects are somewhat satisfactory!”
“A year? A year has passed?”
A huge jolt went through Meng Lei. He had only taken a rest, yet a year had passed. It wasn’t like he was a pig! When did he become capable of sleeping such long hours?
“Yes, Master!”
Bubbles nodded. Then, he said with a smile, “Master, you needn’t be puzzled. At a cultivation level like ours, even just a nap would see long periods of time passing, not to mention when you’re cultivation in seclusion.”
Meng Lei nodded slowly. Then, with a wave, four divine powers appeared in his palm. They twinkled with black, silver, cyan, and gold divine glows, respectively, and gave off fearsome divine power energy fluctuations.
“Divine cores!”

“Divine cores!”
The four half-deities were trembling with their eyes full of passion and desire upon the sight of the divine cores—like hungry wolves eying big delicious sheep.
“I’ve always rewarded merit and punished any wrongdoings. For the past year, you all have done an excellent job, and I’m very pleased. Thus, I must reward all of you!”
Meng Lei waved casually, and the four divine cores flew toward the half-deities—the dark-elemental divine core went to Bubbles, the thunder-elemental divine core went to Seisia, the wind-elemental divine core went to Nadja, and the metal-elemental divine core went to Klaus.
“Now, they’re all yours.” Meng Lei smiled. “I’ve processed these four divine cores so you all can assimilate with peace of mind that their original owners will not steal and occupy your bodies.”
“Thank you, Master!”
The four knelt down immediately with strong emotions. Those were divine cores that their Master actually bestowed to the four of them. This was simply an enormous favor!
“Just divine cores of lesser deities, nothing significant.” Meng Lei smiled faintly. “As long as you all carry on your good service to me, intermediate deities’ divine cores will be yours, higher deities’ divine cores will be yours too!”
“We will work our fingers to the bones and do our very best!” The four of them swore hurriedly.
At that very moment, they felt that submitting to Meng Lei was the wisest decision they had ever made.
Once they assimilated each lesser deity’s divine core, they would be able to make that leap to become lesser deities. If it was in the past, they would never have imagined it happening to them.
And now, it was really about to happen. It was simply unbelievable.
“Now go. Assimilate your divine cores!” Meng Lei waved his hands to kick them out of the palace.
Right after that, Meng Lei went directly into the 96th level of the Tower of Time. After not seeing Little Cola for more than a year, Meng Lei was a little worried.
Meng Lei’s divine cognition shrouded the entire 96th level, but he could not find Little Cola. Meng Lei was dumbfounded and went straight to the 100th level.
“Dodola, where’s Cola?”
Dodola was sleeping soundly when it was woken up abruptly. It was pissed off. “Are you nuts? How am I supposed to sleep like this?”
“Where is Cola?” Meng Lei could not care less.
“Her? She’s back in the Demon Realm ages ago!” Dodola rubbed its sleepy eyes as it grunted, “You have slept for more than a year. It would be weird if she did not leave!”
“Back in the Demon Realm?”
A jolt went through Meng Lei’s body. “Why did she return to the Demon Realm? What happened?”
“Obviously, she left on her own!” Dodola rolled its eyes. “It’s been over one year. If she did not leave, then wouldn’t she starve to death? Well, you don’t have to worry too much. She’s better off staying in the Demon Realm since she’s a Fallen Angel.”
“When did she leave? Why didn’t you stop her?” Meng Lei wasn’t very pleased.
“Stop her? You want her to starve to death? Did I not tell you?”
Dodola carried on, his mouth
