Chapter 247: Elental Heart, ng Lei Is Dead
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
ng Lei couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to Thackeray’s final outco. He was a dood man whom nobody could save.
Instead, he found the Golden Dragon-Lions’ treasury and began a new round of ransacking.
As the Golden Archipelago’s local tyrant, even though the Golden Dragon-Lions’ treasury wasn’t as amply-stocked as the Dragon God Empire and the Titan Empire’s treasuries, it wasn’t that bad, either.
The gold coins and Laws of Nature Origin Crystals alone brought ng Lei earnings of almost 10 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. There were also innurable other treasures.
ng Lei didn’t stand on ceremony at all. He packed them all up and made a killing.
By the ti he exited the treasury, more than an hour had already passed.
At this point, all that was left of Thackeray was just a pile of ghastly bones. His death was a very sad and tragic one.
“All of you did great!”
ng Lei praised the Devils. Then, he sent all the Devils—apart from the Fire Demon Overlord—into the Tower of Ti and kept them there as a show of his gratitude.
As for the Fire Demon Overlord, he was sent back to the Demon Realm.
For a mont, ng Lei was the only one left in the enormous square, which now seed empty and deserted. Intending to have a little sothing to eat, ng Lei casually went into one of the palaces.
Flas were ignited, and the aroma of soup wafted about.
A short while later, a rich aroma rushed toward ng Lei, and he picked up a piece of divine pork with his chopsticks and sent it into his mouth...
Mmm!
How fragrant!
How spicy!
It practically couldn’t feel any better.
“System, carry out 1,000 Limitless Pickups!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth shrank by 1,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained Shaq Bryant’s ring!”
“...”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Divine Core. Will you assimilate it?”
“It’s a dark-elental one again!”
“...”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragnt. Will you assimilate it?”
“Yes, assimilate it!”
“An earth-wind fusion laws of nature fragnt this ti? Not bad, not bad. I’ll boost it to 100%!”
“Another 1,000 tis!”
“...”
“Another 1,000 tis!”
“...”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained an Elental Heart!”
“An Elental Heart? What the heck is that?”
ng Lei was surprised. A fiery-red, goose egg-shaped crystal then appeared on his palm.
The crystal gave off rich fire-elental energy fluctuations and was astonishingly hot. ng Lei could feel a scorching, boiling heat coming from it as he held it in his hand.
A puzzled ng Lei asked, “What’s an Elental Heart, Dodola?”
“It’s an elental being’s egg! Of course, you can also call it an elental being’s fetus. As long as the environntal conditions are suitable, it’ll be able to nurture and birth an elental being,” answered Dodola.
“An elental being’s egg?”
ng Lei understood now.
Elental beings were unusual lifeforms that differed from flesh-and-blood beings. They were born in unique environnts, such as elental existential planes.
Because they had no physical forms—or rather, their bodies were purely ford from the elents—elental beings usually possessed incredible abilities.
“A fire-elental being...”
After a mont’s consideration, ng Lei tossed the Elental Heart into a volcano on the Tower of Ti’s 91st level. Then, he brought out a pile of fire elental crystals and made a magical energy-gathering magic circle.
“I’ve done everything that I should. Whether or not you’re born into the world will depend on what fate has in store for you!”
“...”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragnt. Will you assimilate it?”
“Hmm, it’s a water-fire fusion laws of nature fragnt this ti. I’ll boost it to 100%, too!”
“...”
“Another 1,000 tis!”
“...”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Thunder-Elental Fairy’s corpse!”
“A thunder-elental Fairy?”
With a thought from ng Lei, a gorgeous and peerlessly beautiful Fairy with violet skin and pointy ears appeared before him.
“So, this is a thunder-elental Fairy’s corpse?”
Without any hesitation, ng Lei instructed, “System, plunder her Innate Special Ability, Thunder-Elental Transformation!”
“Ding! Thunder-Elental Transformation is an Innate Special Ability unique to the Thunder-Elental Fairies and belongs to the class of high-grade Innate Special Abilities,” The system stated coldly, “The cost of plundering the Innate Special Ability Thunder-Elental Transformation is estimated at 5 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.”
Five Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?
Big deal!
“Plunder it!”
A brief mont later, ng Lei successfully obtained the Thunder-Elental Transformation ability. Several silver-colored electric currents darted out around him. As more and more electric currents appeared...
His entire self turned into an electric current that darted about everywhere in the spacious palace at extrely high speed, making him no different from normal lightning.
ng Lei resud his human form a mont later, highly satisfied with the ability. He had yet another ans of protecting his life and defending against the enemies now. What a cause for celebration!
“Continue with the pickups, system!”
“...”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragnt. Will you assimilate it?”
“Wood-earth? Boost it to 100%!”
“...”
“System, another 1,000 tis!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Divine Core. Will you assimilate it?”
“This is a tal-elental lesser deity’s divine core!”
“...”
“Another 1,000 tis!”
“...”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragnt. Will you assimilate it?”
“Eh? It’s a tal-dark-ice one this ti. tal-dark-ice... Tsk, tsk. Are we heading in the direction of death laws of nature now?”
“Another 1,000 tis!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Soul Ice Marrow droplet. Will you assimilate it?”
“Soul Ice Marrow? What’s this?”
Where did you hear about the Soul Ice Marrow from?”
Dodola was greatly astonished. “Soul Ice Marrows are treasures of the highest grade that can enhance one’s divine spirit. It’s extrely rare, so much so that you can only hope to co by it with luck, rather than actively searching for it!”
“A treasure of the highest grade that can enhance one’s divine spirit?”
ng Lei perked up.
“A single droplet of the Soul Ice Marrow allows a half-deity’s divine spirit to cross over to the lesser deity stage. With enough of them, they can be of great use even to higher deities!”
A sighing Dodola then said, “It’s just a sha that Soul Ice Marrows are non-renewable resources. Every bit used is every bit less. It’s even scarcer than Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts!
“This thing has a flaw, though. After one consus the Soul Ice Marrow, their divine spirit will freeze and go into hibernation. It’ll only thaw a year later. That’s how it got its na, Soul Ice Marrow!”
“The divine spirit can cross over from a half-deity stage to the lesser deity stage? This effect practically defies all natural laws!”
ng Lei’s eyes lit up, and he promptly consud the Soul Ice Marrow droplet. He didn’t pay any attention to the latter half of what Dodola said at all.
Buzz...
The Soul Ice Marrow was a transparent liquid that looked similar to an ice crystal. It gave off a faint, icy cold glow, and ng Lei felt chilly just by looking at it alone.
As the Soul Ice Marrow entered his stomach, a bone-chilling iciness rushed straight to his head. ng Lei felt his mind go blank, and then he lost all consciousness.
At the sa ti, an endless, chilly, white current also surged into ng Lei’s sea of consciousness. Within a re few monts, his sea of consciousness turned into a world of whiteness—it had actually been completely sealed in ice.
Similarly, the golden divine spirit fla in the center of his sea of consciousness wasn’t spared, either. It was also sealed in ice in mid-air, becoming still and motionless.
“ng Lei! Why have you gone silent again? Aren’t you being a little too disrespectful?”
Rather displeased at ng Lei’s lack of response even after half a day, Dodola extended its consciousness out of the Tower of Ti—only to see ng Lei sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes widened big and round, yet there weren’t any spiritual movents from him at all.
“Is he dead? What the heck!”
Dodola almost wet itself in fear, and it quickly darted out of the Tower of Ti to check on him. Only after a mont later did it breathe a sigh of relief. “Oh my goodness! That almost scared to death! As it turned out, your divine spirit was just frozen. I almost thought you had croaked!
“From the look of things, he’s probably consud the Soul Ice Marrow. Strange, where did he get that from? Did he steal it from the Tower of Ti? That shouldn’t be the case, though. I’ve hidden the treasures in a very secretive and inconspicuous place. Most people can’t get in there at all...
“Never mind, never mind. This guy has always been acting all mysterious. Who knows where he got the Soul Ice Marrow from...”
Dodola then returned to the Tower of Ti, though it also set aside a sliver of its divine spirit to watch over ng Lei.
Given ng Lei’s divine body’s degree of sturdiness, few within Heaven’s Vault Continent could harm him, but one could never be too careful.
Dodola didn’t want a great heir like ng Lei to die. The resulting loss would be too great to bear if that were to happen.
...
Bubbles, Klaus, and the other two half-deities returned two days after ng Lei went into hibernation. They then found ng Lei, who was in one of the palaces.
Without ng Lei to look after it, the boiling hotpot had already totally gone cold. ng Lei himself was seated right next to it.
The four of them bowed and said, “The Golden Dragon-Lions have been completely wiped out, Master. We’ve especially co to report the completion of the mission!”
However, there was no response!
Puzzled, they repeated what they said, but there was still no response from ng Lei.
This greatly confused them. They then raised their heads—only to see ng Lei looking at them with his eyes open, yet there was no light within them. He looked just like a puppet!
“Master?”
The four of them carefully called out, “Master?”
Still no response whatsoever.
“What’s going on?”
The four of them were rather confused.
“Could Master be asleep?”
“That’s impossible, right? Sleeping with his eyes open?”
“He’s in the midst of cultivation now. Don’t disturb him!”
Right at this point, a fearso aura suddenly descended, and a wave of divine spirit energy fluctuations rang out after that, frightening the four of them so badly that they shuddered.
The force of the aura was simply too frightful. In front of it, the four half-deities felt just like ants at the feet of a Colossal Dragon—extrely insignificant.
The sa divine spirit energy fluctuation rang out again.
“Your Master is currently cultivating. Before he cos out of seclusion, everyone is forbidden from disturbing him!”
“Yes, yes!”
Not daring to dawdle and show any disrespect, the four of them hastily left the palace. The fearso aura also disappeared at this point, and they couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief—only to discover that their backs were already drenched in perspiration.
“Who was that just now? That was too scary!”
“Don’t ask! Don’t speculate! A presence like that isn’t sothing that we can be privy to!”
“Yes, yes! You’re right!”
“What should we do now?”
“Stand guard obediently. Didn’t you hear that Master is currently in seclusion?”
“Alright!”
Just like that, the four half-deities obediently stood guard outside the palace, not daring to take even a step away.
However, as days passed one by one, ng Lei didn’t co out of the palace. Instead, it was the Golden Archipelago that began to sink into chaos.
Without the Golden Dragon-Lions suppressing them, all the ambitious players erged one after another. The Golden Archipelago gradually beca chaotic and unbearable to behold, entering a state of turmoil.
At the sight of the chaos, the four half-deities knew that this mustn’t continue. If ng Lei were to co out of seclusion to see the Golden Archipelago in such a chaotic state, wouldn’t he fly into a thundering rage?
“Now that the Golden Dragon-Lions have been wiped out, the Golden Archipelago has beco leaderless. The people’s faith has been lost, and the place is currently in social unrest. It is exactly the ti to build a new order and new faith.”
Klaus suggested, “Therefore, we must do sothing now. Otherwise, we won’t be able to answer to Master when he cos out of seclusion!”
Bubbles, Nadja, and Seisia, nodded repeatedly. “We can make use of this ti while Master’s in seclusion to spread his faith!”
“That’s right! We’ll strive to convert the 10 billion citizens of the Golden Archipelago into Master’s most loyal worshipers before he cos out of seclusion!”
“Since that’s the case, then let’s split up and get to it!”
“Alright!”
