Thus, he decided to just let it go and allow it to grow freely. He would like very much to see how it would develop!
After that, Meng Lei began to experiment with the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique in the Void.
As expected, it was indeed a top-class spatial special ability that allowed one to teleport across an extremely great distance.
After a series of experiments, Meng Lei discovered to his delight that the furthest he could currently teleport to was 10 light-years away. This meant that he could cross a distance of 10 light-years in an instant! How incredibly crazy was that?!
After that, Meng Lei returned to the Boundless Plane before he then went back to Dark Hell Continent.
Meng Lei also made a trip back to Light Continent before he refined Dark Hell Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane.
After being away for such a long time, it was time for him to return. There was no need to hurry to refine Dark Hell Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane, anyway.
Light Continent was just like what it was before.
It was apparent that Ol’ Amos’ faith had already spread throughout the continent and become deeply entrenched in every intelligent life form during the last 20 years while he was away, allowing them to continuously provide him with power of faith.
“Strange, where’s Ol’ President?”
Meng Lei’s gaze swept across Light Continent, yet he didn’t find any trace of Ol’ Amos at all. His divine cognition passed through the Endless Oceans and came to Heaven’s Vault Continent, where he finally found Ol’ Amos.
“The others are actually there, too!”
A smile appeared on Meng Lei’s countenance, and he teleported over right away.
...
In the Meng Lei Empire’s imperial palace on Heaven’s Vault Continent...
The conference hall was packed with people at the moment.
Ol’ Amos and Amolin, his younger sister, were also present.
All of Meng Lei’s subordinates—Puhaman, Thaniel, Bubbles, Mervyn, Pursuer, Nadja, Seisia, Galen, the Spider Goddess, the Dark Fairy Empress, and Sacas—were also there.
Amazingly enough, even Fatty Hart, the lascivious Colossal Dragon, was there!
The group of them had congregated and were arguing over something. None of them seemed to be able to convince anyone else, resulting in a persistent argument.
“Everyone, we mustn’t let such an opportunity slip by us. It’s now or never! This is an excellent opportunity for us to expand our territories. If we seize it, we’ll be able to conquer a vast amount of territory!” Puhaman patiently and earnestly persuaded them. “If Master were here, he’d definitely support my view!”
“Expanding our territories is certainly great and all, but don’t you forget something,” the Spider Goddess said coldly, “The other party we’re talking about is the Earth Divine Realm! One of the ten major Divine Realms, the Earth Divine Realm! Just how powerful are they? We may be higher deities, but this bit of strength we have is nothing in the Earth Divine Realm. To put it nicely, we’re ‘expanding our territories’, but otherwise, we’re just sending ourselves to death’s door!”
“I beg to differ, Rose!”
Galen, the Swirling Snow Sword Saint, rebutted, “While the Earth Divine Realm is certainly filled with experts, the place itself is also vast and boundless. After scattering them around, the number of experts in the Earth Divine Realm in each area will definitely be very sparse. We may not be top-notch in strength, but occupying a few mountains is completely within our means!”
“What Galen says makes sense!”
Bubbles said, “A single mountain in the Demon Realm is already bigger than all the existential planes that we currently own put together. I’m sure it’s also the same in the Earth Divine Realm. As long as we can occupy a mountain range in the Earth Divine Realm, it’ll be enough for us to spread our faith.”
“Experts are aplenty in the Earth Divine Realm. It’s highly likely that we’ll put ourselves in peril if we enter so recklessly,” said the Dark Fairy Empress with a soft sigh.
“Nothing good comes without risk! An excellent opportunity for us to enter the Earth Divine Realm is right before our eyes now. If we miss it this time, we may just miss it for good!”
Puhaman said gravely, “Everyone has already become a higher deity by now. Surely it doesn’t feel good to lack power of divinity? But an excellent opportunity for us to spread our faith sits right before our eyes now. We absolutely mustn’t let it slip by us!”
The Spider Goddess didn’t know how she should rebut his words anymore. Lack power of divinity? How could the word “lack” even cut it? It was practically an extreme deficit!
They had successfully refined the higher deity divine cores that Meng Lei had bestowed upon them and thereby became powerful higher deities. This was naturally something to be happy about, but the blemish in this otherwise perfect situation was that while they had the title, they didn’t have an abundance of power of divinity. This caused their combat power to become significantly impaired.
This was tantamount to someone being equipped with tanks and cannons yet didn’t have enough gunpowder with them. While they had the weapons, they couldn’t use them!
How torturous!
Therefore, everyone wanted to do something about the situation. The best way to replenish one’s power of divinity was to spread their faith and collect power of divinity.
Unfortunately, they evidently didn’t own enough existential planes at the moment. Even though the migration process for the 48 existential planes had long since concluded, and the populations on all 48 existential planes were multiplying dramatically every year, this still wasn’t enough!
The amount of power of divinity that a higher deity needed was simply too harrowing. 100 existential planes’ worth of power of faith domains could only barely provide a
