“100 trillion Divinity Crystals?”
Meng Lei almost broke into expletives.
I’ve only managed to gather 100-odd trillion Divinity Crystals after going through so much trouble and pain, yet now I have to pay 100 trillion Divinity Crystals just to plunder a remnant soul’s memories? Is there any justice in this world?
“System, what exactly is that guy? Why does it cost so much to plunder his memories?” asked a puzzled Meng Lei.
However, the system didn’t even make a peep in response.
“...”
Meng Lei was rendered speechless at once.
“Leave, young Ancient God.” Moro spoke again. “You can’t kill me, but neither can I do anything about you. Besides, there are no feuds between the two of us. There’s no need for us to fight to the death.”
“I certainly can’t kill you.” Meng Lei was awfully displeased. “But it doesn’t mean that I can’t do anything about you!”
“Oh?”
Moro raised an eyebrow.
“Mysterious Ice of The Depths!”
Meng Lei uttered five words. At once, a tricolored icy current shot out of his fingers and enveloped Moro before freezing him into a large ice lump.
“Even if I can’t kill you, do you think I can’t trap you?”
Meng Lei let out a cold snort. As he watched Moro’s remnant soul that had been sealed within the Mysterious Ice of The Depths, he said, “Since I’ve already discovered your existence, then you can forget abou—”
Before Meng Lei could even finish, Moro, who had been sealed in ice, suddenly transformed into a cloud of black smoke, darted out of the tricolored ice lump, and reappeared in front of Meng Lei.
“Mysterious Ice of The Depths! Tsk, to think you can use the Frost Gods’ Innate Special Ability. How unexpected!”
Moro watched Meng Lei with a big smile, clicking his tongue in wonder as he remarked, “What a mysterious little fellow! I’ve suddenly taken a huge interest in you!”
“...”
Meng Lei took a deep breath and launched another of his special abilities. “Netherworld Divine Fire!”
A tricolored burst of flames burst forth and manifested into a fireball that trapped Moro within. Before long, Moro darted out of it again, however.
“First Grim Reaper’s Eye, then Mysterious Ice of The Depths, and now Netherworld Divine Fire!”
The way Moro was watching Meng Lei had changed. He said, “If my senses aren’t deceiving me, you also own three great origin divine bodies—a metal-origin divine body, a wood-origin divine body, and a thunder-origin divine body—at the same time. What kind of mutant are you, exactly? Why do you have so many abilities all gathered in one place?”
“You’re the mutant! Your entire family are mutants!”
Meng Lei was going rather crazy. He said, “Grim Reaper’s Eye is useless on you, and neither do you fear Mysterious Ice of The Depths or Netherworld Divine Fire. I want to know who you are exactly?”
“I told you,” Moro replied leisurely, “My divine spirit has already gone through the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process’ purification and has become immortal and indestructible. Your ways are ineffective on me!”
“What’s effective on you, then?” asked a vexed Meng Lei.
“Genesis laws of nature.” Moro shook his head and said, “In this whole wide world, only genesis laws of nature, which are equipped with the power to create a world, can destroy my remnant soul and thoroughly kill me.”
“Genesis laws of nature?”
Meng Lei was stunned. “What are genesis laws of nature?”
“They are primordial laws of nature that create the universe. There are three types in total—space-time laws of nature that dominate the top, bottom, and all four other directions and the flow of time from the past to the present; destiny laws of nature that controls the birth, existence, and death of all things in the world; and order laws of nature that maintains the universe’s balance.”
Moro said dispassionately, “These three great genesis laws of nature come together to form the whole universe and are also the basis and foundation of the vast universe. Only genesis laws of nature can erase my immortal divine spirit.”
“Genesis laws of nature...” Meng Lei murmured under his breath.
“Little fellow, because you’ve already comprehended time-based laws of nature, there’s certainly a chance that you may also comprehend space-time laws of nature. Of course, it’s just a very tiny little chance.”
Moro went on and said, “Space-time laws of nature include two different parts—time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature. When you’ve 100% comprehended these two supreme laws of nature and merged them into one, you’ll be able to comprehend space-time laws of nature.
“As for now...”
Moro shook his head and said, “You’d better just concentrate on properly comprehending time-based laws of nature instead. Your level of comprehension with regard to time-based laws of nature is simply too poor!”
“Is it that terrible? You must understand that I’m the one and only person to have comprehended time-based laws of nature in this whole wide world!” retorted a somewhat displeased Meng Lei.
“Is that so? In that case, lifeforms from your era sure are inferior!”
Moro chuckled and said, “The current era looks like it’s already almost half-gone, yet it has only just birthed someone that can comprehend time-based laws of nature? How lousy! Lousy, indeed!”
“You’ve been mentioning the word ‘era’. What exactly is an ‘era’?” asked a frowning Meng Lei.
“Trees go through summer and winter, and people go through aging, weakening, and death.”
Moro said dispassionately, “There’s an end to the lives of all things in this world, and the universe itself is no exception.
“Every certain period, the universe will die out and be reborn—this is reincarnation. Every reincarnation cycle is an era.”
“You’re someone from the previous era?!”
A jolt went through Meng Lei, and he couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.
“That’s right.”
Moro gave him a dispassionate smile and said, “Thus, you’re no different from a little fellow in my eyes—or
