“Boss, is that you?”
Unexpectedly, an agitated voice suddenly rang out in Meng Lei’s mind at this point.
“Teddy?”
Meng Lei was surprised.
“It really is you, Boss!”
A flash of lightning whizzed across the sky, and then a Magical Beast appeared right in front of him. It stood at 100-feet-tall and had a pair of wings on its back, yet it also possessed a powerful and muscular giant ape-like body. It was Meng Lei’s very first Magical Beast pet, Teddy the Titanic Dragon-Ape!
“Boss, you’re finally back!” Teddy dived into Meng Lei’s arms at once, so worked up that tears welled up in its eyes. “Teddy missed you, Boss!”
“Don’t cry. You’re already a half-deity-level Magical Beast, so how can you still snivel like a child? Aren’t you afraid that the other Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Forest would laugh at you?” said Meng Lei teasingly.
“As if they would dare to!” Teddy snorted and said, “See if I don’t pummel them dead if they dare to laugh at me!”
“Alright, alright! I get it. You’re super strong!”
Meng Lei stroked Teddy on the head and asked, “Weren’t you staying in the imperial palace all along? Why have you returned to the Magical Beast Forest?”
“The imperial palace was awfully boring without you around all the time, Boss, so I left.”
Teddy wrinkled its nose and added, “I’m a Magical Beast, so the Magical Beast Forest is ultimately still more comfortable for me. I bet you don’t know this, Boss, but I’m one of the four great kings of Magical Beast Forest now! I’m really impressive now!”
“The four great kings of Magical Beast Forest?” Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why isn’t it just ‘the king of Magical Beast Forest’ instead?”
A look of resignation came over Teddy’s countenance, and it replied, “I can’t beat the other three, so I can only take fourth place.”
“Who are the other three?” Meng Lei asked curiously.
“The Cerulean Ox-Flood Dragon, the Titanic Giant Gorilla, and the Golden Carp.”
A gloomy Teddy then added, “They are the three major rulers of Magical Beast Forest and have already dominated the forest since a very long time ago. Also, they’ve all already deified.”
“I see.”
Meng Lei nodded in response. He couldn’t help but spread his divine cognition into the surroundings. It quickly spread to the Magical Beast Forest’s central region, where he then spotted a lake that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Occupying the lake’s bottom were a 100,000-feet-long Cerulean Ox-Flood Dragon and a sparkling, crystal-clear Golden Carp. Both emanated pure divine power and were actually lesser deity-level divine beasts!
A 100,000-feet-tall gorilla was snoozing away in the forest a short distance away from the lake. The trail of drool trickling down its mouth measured over a dozen meters long and was pretty much close to becoming a waterfall.
Meng Lei let out an emotional sigh and commented, “Never would I have expected presences like those three rulers to be in Magical Beast Forest’s central region.”
A puzzled Teddy asked, “What are you mumbling about, Boss?”
“Nothing much.”
Meng Lei gave it a smile, and then, he brought out a higher deity divine core and gave it to Teddy. He said, “Teddy, you’ll be able to beat them after you assimilate this.”
“This is...”
...
Meng Lei headed to the underground world after he left Magical Beast Village. There, he also gave a higher deity divine core to Little Gold, his other Magical Beast pet. He then went to New Dragon Island after that.
After several years, the Colossal Dragons had already settled down peacefully on New Dragon Island. They occupied volcanoes, lakes, deserts, forests, etc., and made them their dens.
New Dragon Island had completely become the Colossal Dragons’ homeland, and soaring Colossal Dragons could be seen everywhere.
As the Dragon Emperor, Fatty Hart had been leading a fairly comfortable life during the last few years. He held command over tens of thousands of Colossal Dragons and ruled over a whole continent, leading an extraordinarily free and unfettered life.
True enough, the moment Meng Lei arrived on New Dragon Island, he discovered the fellow fooling around in bed with a female Colossal Dragon whose hoarse cries resounded far into the distance.
“That dimwit!”
Rather lost for words, Meng Lei flicked a higher deity divine core over and left immediately. He had initially wanted to catch up with Fatty Hart, but that was clearly out of the question now.
Meng Lei was relieved of everything weighing on his mind after he was done, and he returned to Demon Ravine once more.
“I’m leaving, Ol’ President. I’ll leave Heaven’s Vault Continent in your care.”
“Don’t worry. You can leave with peace of mind.”
Ol’ Amos nodded heavily and said, “Everyone can forget about making any trouble on Heaven’s Vault Continent as long as I’m alive. I’ll definitely watch over it well.”
“Alright!”
Meng Lei nodded lightly and turned to leave.
“Come back alive, brat!”
Ol’ Amos shouted after him.
“Don’t worry, I will!”
Meng Lei gave him a wave. Then, he leaped into the space-time rift and arrived at Dark Hell Continent once more.
“I’ve settled all outstanding matters, so I can head to the Boundless Plane with peace of mind now.” Then, Meng Lei looked into the far distance and murmured, “I’ll go to Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom’s capital and meet up with the other Prefecture Masters first.”
Having read Cador’s memories, Meng Lei naturally knew the way to the capital. However, he also left behind his Abyss Skeletal Dragon alternate incarnation before he set off.
With his Fallen Angel and Abyss Skeletal Dragon alternate incarnations protecting Ice Demon Prefecture, it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.
Besides, Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom had also mandated that it was forbidden for anyone
