“What a huge eye-opener!”
Ol’ Amos said with a sigh, “Little did I think that one can also obtain Divinity Crystals this way. We’re simply too ignorant and ill-informed!”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
Puhaman and the others nodded repeatedly.
“Our level of strength is constantly changing, as is the environment that we’re in. Therefore, our mindsets must also keep up with these changes,” said a smiling Meng Lei.
“In that case, what exactly should we do, Master?” asked Bubbles.
“Ask him!”
Meng Lei turned to the bandit chief. He said, “In the Divine Realm, how exactly do ordinary deities obtain Divinity Crystals? After all, I believe bandits that rob others like you are a minority.”
The bandit chief blushed in embarrassment and replied, “To obtain Divinity Crystals, ordinary deities typically choose to join any of the forces and earn their income through labor.
“Experts like all of you can also join a small clan somewhere and become their retainer or foreign minister[1]. You’ll be able to receive a handsome amount of Divinity Crystals every year.”
“Earn income through labor?”
“Become a retainer or a foreign minister?”
All of them looked at one another before turning to Meng Lei with queries in their eyes.
Meng Lei, however, shook his head lightly and said, “In comparison, I still prefer your method.”
The bandit chief was stupefied for a moment before he said disbelievingly, “Sir, you mean...”
“Didn’t you say it yourself just now? Divinity Crystals can be found everywhere in the Divine Realm, so wouldn’t everything be solved if you just take it and use it directly?”
Meng Lei gave him a slight smile.
The bandit chief was instantly rendered speechless.
Take it and use it directly? That’s even more goddamn shameless than what I’m doing!
Sheepish looks came over everyone else’s countenances, and they kindly reminded him, “This is the Earth Divine Realm, Master. Shouldn’t we exercise a bit of restraint here?”
“Restraint?”
A bewildered Meng Lei stared at them. “Since we can afford to be willful, then why should we exercise any restraint?”
-_-||
Everyone was rendered completely speechless.
“Let’s go to Dragon-Elephant City.”
Meng Lei held his hands behind his back and said, “In the Divine Realm, the strong are revered, and they can wantonly strip everything from the weak. This is a truth that’ll never change for eternity. You’ll be on the losing end if you’re too embarrassed to do it!”
“Yes, Master!”
The others could only follow after him in resignation.
“As for you, on account of how you’ve provided quite a bit of information, I’ll spare you for now.”
Meng Lei turned to the bandit chief and ordered, “Lead the way!”
“Thank you, sir!”

The Earth Divine Realm was indeed inconceivably huge. It took them a whole week just to get out of Double Realm Mountain.
Of course, this was also partially due to Meng Lei. In order to “take” all the Divinity Crystals lying in abundance everywhere, Meng Lei had refrained from using the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique, leading to their slow progress.
As the saying went, “From small increments comes abundance”. After a series of ransacking, he had collected a fairly impressive amount of riches. Going by a rate like that, Meng Lei believed that he’d be able to put together enough money very soon for the 5 trillion Divinity Crystals that he needed in order to buy credit for one of his supreme laws of nature!
The path ahead was a smooth and level one!
Thus, Meng Lei was naturally filled with motivation.
Half a month later, they finally arrived at Dragon-Elephant City. This was a city so massive that it was pretty much boundless. In comparison, Double Realm Mountain was just like a little pond sitting next to the boundless oceans.
There was no comparability between the two at all!
“It’s huge!”
“How many light years does this city stretch on for? Are all the cities in the Divine Realms so excessive?”
Terribly astounded, the group of them floated in mid-air and overlooked Dragon-Elephant City that stretched on far beyond one’s line of vision.
“Dear sirs, Dragon-Elephant City stretches on for 200 light-years from the east to the west and 180 light-years from the north to the south. It’s one of the 66 cities under the Caesar Dragon-Elephant Gods’ command.”
Upon seeing their astounded reactions, the bandit chief, a Divine Realm native, actually felt a small sense of smugness come over him. He explained with a smile, “Dragon-Elephant City has a resident population of 98,000 quadrillion people, among which the number of higher deities has reached as many as over one million, and more than 10% of the population are intermediate deities. It’s considered a fourth-rate city in the Divine Realms.”
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing his explanation.
A distance of 200 light-years from the east to the west!
A distance of 180 light-years from the north to the south!
A resident population of 98,000 quadrillion people!
Higher deities that numbered as many as a million of them!
Huge!
It was too huge!
It was to the extent that one could no longer imagine how big Dragon-Elephant City was just by their imagination alone!
Meng Lei was also astounded. Even if he were to use his Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique, he’d have to spend quite a long time before he could get out of Dragon-Elephant City. This was simply too excessive!
However...
“The bigger it is, the better it is!”
The corners of Meng Lei’s lips curled upward, and his divine cognition gushed down like flowing mercury, instantly enveloping the whole area within a billion kilometers beneath them. Then, he cast his special ability—Transfer!
Transfer was a special ability that he had plundered from the Dark Mother Tree back then. He could disregard all obstructions and spatial barriers and
