“If that’s really the case, then the Boundless Plane is definitely no simple place!”
Dodola took a deep breath. Then, it asked, “Is there any other information about the Boundless Plane aside from that?”
“The Boundless Plane is a very dangerous place. Supposedly, apart from Dark Hell Continent, there are also experts from Hell, the Abyss, the Netherworld, and other existential planes there.”
Meng Lei added, “When the time comes, innumerable experts shall gather at the Boundless Plane, compete on the same stage, and hunt for treasure together. The Boundless Plane will surely become incredibly dangerous!
“Apart from that, there are also the natives on the Boundless Plane. They are the ones that are actually the most fearsome and most dangerous of all!”
Chapter 338: The Three Major Rulers, Power of Origin
News of the Dark Canopy of The Heavens taking place soon had completely messed up Meng Lei’s plans. He had originally been planning on challenging all 108 Prefecture Masters, but it obviously looked like his plans were going to be held up now.
Meng Lei absolutely had to go to the Boundless Plane.
After a brief moment of consideration, Meng Lei said, “I’ll need to make a trip back home, Dodola.”
“Back home?”
Dodola cocked an eyebrow.
“Each round of Dark Canopy of The Heavens lasts for at least 20 years from the point of commencement to the end. This is too long a period of time. I need to properly settle all the matters in Heaven’s Vault Continent before I can leave with peace of mind,” explained Meng Lei.
“It’s certainly pretty long.”
Dodola nodded lightly.
20 years were nothing more than just a fleeting moment to the demons and deities of the Void, but to Meng Lei, it was instead an awfully long period of time. After all, he was only in his twenties at the very most.
After that, Meng Lei brought out his Fallen Angel alternate incarnation and got him to continue collecting birthday gifts on his behalf while he himself left Ice Demon Prefecture together with Dodola.
The duo returned to Light Continent a day later, which greatly surprised Ol’ Amos. It had only been ten days since Meng Lei’s departure, yet he had already gotten Dark Hell Continent under control?
“Something cropped up, so I had to make a trip back here.”
Meng Lei then brought out a couple of divine cores and more than ten Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts. He said, “Here’s a couple of higher deity divine cores and 16 Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, Ol’ President. Take them.”
“What?”
Ol’ Amos shuddered all over and exclaimed loudly, “H-higher deity divine cores?!”
“Yep, higher deity divine cores. One has assimilated three types of laws of nature, while the other has assimilated two types.”
A smiling Meng Lei said, “I’m giving them to you. You can decide for yourself whether or not you want to assimilate them.”
He had already given Ol’ Amos five lesser deity divine cores previously. Once Ol’ Amos assimilated them all, he would own five divine incarnations and become a pinnacle-level intermediate deity.
At that point, as long as Ol’ Amos could assimilate any two types of laws of nature contained within, he would be able to become a higher deity. If he could assimilate three types, then he would become a mid-level higher deity, and so on and so forth.
In other words, Ol’ Amos would still have a shot at becoming a higher deity even if his intermediate deity status had only come about through assimilating divine cores!
However, if Ol’ Amos directly assimilated a higher deity divine core instead, while he would experience a meteoric rise and become a higher deity right away, his road of cultivation would end up becoming completely sealed off after that.
Unless Meng Lei could find divine cores of even higher grade—such as Chief God ones—for Ol’ Amos, he would no longer have any chance at further progression.
“And these, too,” said Meng Lei as he took out another few higher deity-level divine weapons and a pile of other random treasures. “Take all these with you, and just use them whenever you need to. I have no lack of them.”
Then, he left with Dodola, leaving behind only a stunned Ol’ Amos.
...
Upon returning to Heaven’s Vault Continent, Meng Lei then went to Puhaman and the others and distributed divine cores, divine weapons, Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, and random treasures to them.
“The divine cores must be assimilated, but the migration process must also be expedited.” Meng Lei instructed, “I hope to be able to see the migrations’ preliminary results upon my return.”
“We definitely won’t let you down, Master!”
Puhaman and the others bowed and gave their promise.
“Great!”
Meng Lei then went to the Magical Beast Village after that.
Thanks to the vast amount of resources the Magical Beast Village had received, the villagers’ combat strength had undergone a massive change during the last few years. Several Saint Domain experts had even emerged from the village, including Captain Hudders, Uncle Leo, Jonah, Joseph, and Andrew.
The older ones like Hudders continued to stay in the village, whereas the youths like Jonah, Joseph, and Andrew had headed to various corners of the continent to adventure and explore the world.
The village had undergone a great change. The shabby and primitive thatched houses of the past were gone. What replaced them were instead lavish, brand-new buildings.
Additionally, there were also a lot of new faces in the village. There were women that had married into the village, as well as children born during the recent few years...
Apart from the people whom Meng Lei knew, the rest of the village had undergone a tremendous change. Even Meng Lei himself found the place somewhat unfamiliar to him now. Both the people and environment had changed, indeed.
Meng Lei had initially wanted to catch up with Hudders and the others, but at the sight of
