“What?” asked a puzzled Meng Lei.
“It’s said that a complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane is comparable to a Supreme God divine core. Anyone that assimilates a complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane will possess strength comparable to a Supreme God of The Universe’s,” replied a smiling Moro.
“A Supreme God of The Universe!”
Meng Lei perked up.
What came after a lesser Chief God, an intermediate Chief God, a higher Chief God, and a Juggernaut was the Supreme God of The Universe. From this, one could imagine just how powerful a Supreme God was!
A complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane was comparable to a Supreme God divine core? A gleam flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes.
“It’s just a shame that a complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane can’t exist. Therefore, this also implies that it’s impossible for Supreme Gods to exist in the universe.” Moro then added with a smile, “I guess this can also be considered a balance in another way.”
“Perhaps!”
Meng Lei gave him a smile. Then, he asked, “Moro, do you think this is a lesser Chief God divine core, an intermediate Chief God divine core, or a higher Chief God divine core?”
“No, no, you’re mistaken,” Moro corrected him and said, “While there’s a difference in strength among Chief Gods, there isn’t a difference in grades among Chief God divine cores.
“Every Chief God divine core’s composition and size are exactly the same. A Chief God’s level of strength is instead determined by their degree of comprehension of supreme laws of nature. This is how it works concretely:
“Chief Gods that have only assimilated Chief God divine cores but are completely ignorant of supreme laws of nature are lesser Chief Gods and are the weakest among the lot.
“Chief Gods that have assimilated Chief God divine cores and also comprehended some supreme laws of nature are the slightly stronger intermediate Chief Gods, while those that have great prowess in supreme laws of nature are higher Chief Gods.
“As for Chief Gods that have both assimilated Chief God divine cores and also fully comprehended a type of supreme laws of nature, they are Juggernauts.”
“Fine!”
Meng Lei curled his lip disdainfully in response. He had already known since a long time ago that a Chief God’s level of strength was related to their degree of comprehension of laws of nature, but what he hadn’t expected was that it was actually... completely unrelated to the Chief God divine cores!
All Chief God divine cores were completely identical!
“You’ve already started to comprehend four types of supreme laws of nature. Although you’re just scratching the surface of the subjects, it’s at least still something. If you assimilate this Chief God divine core, you’ll become an intermediate Chief God right away.” Moro licked his lips and said cheerfully, “So, hurry and assimilate it!”
Meng Lei nodded lightly. Then, he asked, “Can someone that hasn’t deified yet assimilate a Chief God divine core?”
Upon his question, Moro replied without any hesitation, “Someone that hasn’t deified yet wouldn’t possess a divine core. Since they don’t even have a divine core, then, of course, they can’t assimilate a Chief God divine core.”
“What a real shame! I can’t assimilate this, then,” replied Meng Lei regretfully.
“You can’t? What do you mean?”
Moro was rather stupefied. A moment later, he finally realized the meaning behind Meng Lei’s words and asked, “Y-you can’t be saying that you haven’t deified yet, right?”
“Yeah!”
Meng Lei nodded lightly.
“...”
A stunned Moro stared at Meng Lei in stupefaction as though he were staring at a freak. After a long while, he finally uttered, “Just what kind of freak are you, exactly? To think you haven’t deified yet!”
“I am what I am, the fireworks of a different color1!”
Meng Lei gave him a slight smile and kept the Chief God divine core with a flip of his wrist. It was right at this moment that he suddenly assailed by a swift and fierce wind, to which Meng Lei immediately dodged.
He turned over to find out that it was actually the Manro Empress!
“Hand over the Chief God divine core!”
The corners of the Manro Empress’ lips were stained with blood. Not only had her fighting spirit and the killing intent in her eyes not weakened, but they had even intensified. She stared coldly at Meng Lei.
“Hand over the Chief God divine core!”
The two Naga elders also charged over to Meng Lei.
“You traitors! I’ll deal with the two of you after this!”
The Manro Empress gave the two of them an icy glare before her line of sight returned to Meng Lei once more. This was exactly how strong a Chief God divine core’s allure was—it could even compel the Manro Empress to temporarily put aside her grudges.
The two Naga elders were rather embarrassed, but now that things had come to such a pass, they couldn’t afford to be bothered about so much anymore. They watched Meng Lei with fierce and savage looks in their eyes, their killing intent so strong that it had almost solidified.
They practically hated Meng Lei with every fiber of their being right now. They had obviously already gotten their hands on the Chief God divine core, yet Meng Lei had snatched it away from them in the end and caused them to get their hopes up for nothing.
This feud between them was simply too great!
“You want the Chief God divine core? Why should I give it to you?”
Meng Lei watched the three of them with great interest.
“The Chief God divine core is ours, the Desert Manro Nagas’! Hand it over at once if you know what’s good for you! Otherwise, I’ll see that you die in the Great Pompeii Desert and rest forever in this desolate land!” replied the Manro Empress coldly.
“Hah, it’s yours just because it appeared in your
