“So you’re that kind of old fart!”
Meng Lei clicked his tongue in wonder. Then, he suddenly looked Moro up and down and wondered aloud curiously, “Given how your remnant soul alone is already this powerful, how strong were you during your prime?”
“Hah, that’s a secret!”
The corners of Moro’s lips quirked upward.
Pooh!
Meng Lei curled his lip disdainfully and said, “I’ll rephrase this, then—what class of lifeform must one be in order to survive the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process like you?”
“What a quick-witted little fellow!”
Moro shook his head and smiled as he replied, “The Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process is the end of the whole universe. Even the high-end existential planes that you think are eternal and immortal will also be destroyed, and all lives in the universe have to die.
“That’s what a real disaster is.”
Moro’s voice became low and deep as he said, “Watching helplessly as existential planes crumble, dissipate, and turn into energy torrents; watching masses of lifeforms die out in an instant; watching lifeforms at the pinnacle of the power pyramid fleeing in a panic before ultimately being utterly destroyed amid their despair... These are enough to make one break down!”
Meng Lei felt his throat going dry and parched from Moro’s words. He asked, “So, what class of lifeform must one be in order to survive the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process and become immortal like you?”
“Immortal?”
Moro said mockingly, “Can this even be considered ‘immortality’? It’s just dragging out an ignoble existence at best!”
Meng Lei listened quietly and waited for his follow-up.
“As of now, I’ve not seen any lifeform that can truly safely survive the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process. Perhaps only the legendary Primordial World Genesis Gods are able to,” said Moro sorrowfully.
“The Primordial World Genesis Gods?” Meng Lei quickly asked, “What class are these lifeforms?”
Chapter 377: Immortal Essence, Power of Genesis

The conversation with Moro had a great impact on Meng Lei. Once upon a time, he had always thought that becoming a god would mean immortality.
However, even existences far above like a Chief God would only live till the end of an era. Once the reincarnation cycle ended, and the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process restarted, even a Chief God would be finished.
Immortality?
Eternal life?
It’s all a joke!
“Divinity Crystals! I need more Divinity Crystals!” Meng Lei clenched his fists. “Only with enough Divinity Crystals can I comprehend the supreme laws of nature or even the Genesis laws of nature. Only then I might be able to survive the destruction of the universe.”
Divinity Crystals!
Meng Lei let out a long breath as he looked at Moro again. “What are your plans? Are you going to follow this guy all the way?”
Meng Lei glanced at the unconscious Dowa Caesar with some disagreement.
“Why? You want to take me away?”
Moro raised an eyebrow with a ghost of a smile.
“You won’t have a future following him.”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly.
“Future? I’m only barely alive. What future can I have?” Moro gave a self-mocking smile. “If I knew then that I’d turn out like this, I would rather be buried with the last era!”
“There’s a saying back home, ‘To live is better than to die’.” Meng Lei laughed. “Plus, so what if it’s a remnant soul? There will always be a way to restore it.”
“You don’t even understand!” Moro shook his head. “Without enough immortal essence, my remnant soul will never be restored!”
“Immortal essence?”
Meng Lei broke into a slight frown.
“Do you know what’s that? That’s a kind of substance that will never decay, get destroyed, and not even the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process can erase it.” Moro said slowly, “Across the entire universe, there are only three types of immortal essence that I know of, the three great powers of genesis. Yes, the powers relating to the three great genesis laws of nature.”
Meng Lei fell silent.
The three great powers of genesis are part of the immortal essence?
Now isn’t this too difficult to obtain?
“So you can imagine how rare and precious the immortal essence is.” Moro continued self-mockingly. “Therefore, I’m destined to never restore my soul!”
“Indeed, the immortal essence is extremely rare. But, there’s still a chance.” Meng Lei suddenly smiled. “Once I comprehended the genesis laws of nature, wouldn’t I possess the immortal essence by then?”
“You? Comprehend the... genesis laws of nature?”
Moro clutched his belly as if he had just heard a superb joke and laughed out loud for quite a while. When he had enough laughing, he cut his smile.
“You? The genesis laws of nature? Are you an idiot sent by a monkey?
“So you’re looking down on me?”
Meng Lei smiled.
“Stop joking. If it’s those four Supreme Juggernauts who have already comprehended one supreme laws of nature, I might believe them. After all, they do have hope for the genesis laws of nature. As for you...”
Moro sneered. “Forget it!”
“What if I tell you that I had comprehended the spatial, destruction, and life laws of nature? Though it’s just superficial knowledge for now.”
Meng Lei chuckled.
“Gah...”
Moro was in a daze as he looked at Meng Lei. “Kid, you sure you’re not joking?”
“Where’s the need to?”
Meng Lei laughed softly and opened his right palm. Three laws of nature chains appeared in his palms—a gray one, a purple one, and a green one.
Gasp!
A jolt went through Moro as his eyes widened, and he stared at Meng Lei as if he had seen a ghost. “S-spatial laws of nature! Destruction laws of nature! Life laws of nature! You really comprehended the three great supreme laws of nature!”
“Not three, it’s four, there’s still the time-based laws of nature,” Meng Lei corrected.
“Ah yes, four!
