“What the hell!”
Ol’ Amos was astonished. “48 power of faith domains? Are you serious?”
“Yes, I am!”
Meng Lei nodded heavily.
“To think it’s actually true!”
Ol’ Amos gasped. “You’re so blessed, kid. I really wish I could strangle you dead and take those 48 existential planes for myself!”
“Must you? It’s just 48 existential planes, Ol’ President.”
Meng Lei rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll give you a few power of faith domains if you want, Ol’ President.”
“Really?”
A huge shudder went through Ol’ Amos as his eyes bore into Meng Lei. Then, he said viciously, “If you dare to lie to me... See if I don’t skin you!”
“...”
Meng Lei was rendered rather speechless. He said, “It’s just a few existential planes. Must you be that worked up? I’ll give you a few right away after we get back. Here’s a disclaimer in advance, though—there isn’t anyone on those existential planes, so you’ll have to manage it yourself.”
“There’s no one there? Why?”
Ol’ Amos was slightly taken aback.
Meng Lei then recounted the cause and effect of what had happened to him, upon which an unaffected Ol’ Amos then waved him off. He said, “As long as the territory’s there, what’s the big deal about it being empty? I’ll just bring a group of humans and Beast People over when I get back. With the humans’ and Beast People’s reproductive abilities, it won’t take even 100 years before they spread throughout the whole existential plane!
“Wahaha! A few existential planes’ worth of power of faith domains! How much power of faith would they produce? The thought of it alone is enough to make my blood boil with excitement and send me out of control!”
“...”
Meng Lei didn’t feel like paying any more attention to the crazed little old man. He brought out a few objects and said, “Ol’ President, there are five lesser deity divine cores here. Take them for now.”
“What did you say? L-lesser deity divine cores? A-and... Five at that?”
Stunned, Ol’ Amos could only stare at the five divine cores sitting in Meng Lei’s palm in disbelief.
Judging from the auras they gave off, they were indeed and undoubtedly lesser deity divine cores, but Ol’ Amos was still filled with disbelief.
Lesser deity divine cores!
And a whole five of them at that!
Oh my goodness!
Were they really lesser deity divine cores?
How did Meng Lei get his hands on so many lesser deity divine cores?
Ol’ Amos was astounded, perplexed, and filled with disbelief. However, he didn’t hesitate at all!
Chapter 290: Going Up The Holy Mountain, It’s Useless Against Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this morning, Meng Lei woke up bright and early and had a hearty breakfast with Ol’ Amos. Only then did he slowly and leisurely start to fly toward the Holy Mountain of Light.
“The Holy Mountain of Light is situated at the center of the continent. It’s the Light Church’s headquarters, as well as this continent’s core of religious faith. Countless worshipers make pilgrimages to the Holy Mountain of Light every year...”
Ol’ Amos flew in the sky with his hands held behind his back while telling Meng Lei about the continent.
Despite not having assimilated the five lesser deity divine cores yet, the air around him had become totally different from what it had been three days ago.
He was filled with confidence toward their journey to the Light Church. Were they kidding? How strong must Meng Lei be when he could bring out even lesser deity divine cores? What was there to fear about a mere Light Church?
Although the duo took their time to fly there, they nevertheless crossed a greater half of Light Continent and reached the Holy Mountain of Light in less than half an hour.
The whole Holy Mountain of Light was made of light-elemental elemental crystals, and it gave off a pure and sacred glow.
The Shrine of Light stood at the Holy Mountain peak, looking as if a celestial palace in the sunlight.
Even though an endless stream of pilgrims went to and fro in the past, the whole Holy Mountain of Light had been completely cordoned off on this day. Not a single worshiper was within sight. The only ones there were knights instead!
Knights clad in armor of light were stationed every three to five steps. They guarded the Holy Mountain of Light strictly, surrounding the mountain so securely that it was impenetrable.
“They are all prepared for battle!”
Meng Lei and Ol’ Amos, who were floating in the air, marveled as they gazed upon the Holy Mountain of Light.
“I didn’t feel anything in particular while on the way here, but I’m becoming rather nervous now,” Ol’ Amos took a deep breath, “Here’s hoping that nothing goes wrong and everything goes smoothly today.”
“Don’t worry, Ol’ President!”
A smiling Meng Lei gave him a few words of comfort. Then, he turned to the majestic Holy Mountain of Light and said, “Meng Lei of Heaven’s Vault Continent has come to call on His Holiness, the Light Church’s pope!”
Meng Lei wasn’t particularly loud. He spoke just like how he usually did when chatting with another person. However, as though ten thousand thunderclaps were booming at the same time, his voice caused earth-rending results upon spreading into the surroundings.
Boom, boom, boom!
As though thunderstruck, all the battle-ready Knights of Light on guard clapped their hands over their ears and cried out in pain and agony. Blood gushed from their noses and trickled from their lip corners...
They were actually bleeding from all seven facial orifices!
“My apologies for not receiving you earlier, despite coming from afar, Your Holiness.”
A group of people walked out of the Shrine of Light. The one in the lead was Pope Hayes himself.
Aside from him, Altacia the Holy Maiden, eight Red-Cloaked Archbishops,
