Chapter 338: The Three Major Rulers, Power of Origin
News of the Dark Canopy of The Heavens taking place soon had completely ssed up ng Lei’s plans. He had originally been planning on challenging all 108 Prefecture Masters, but it obviously looked like his plans were going to be held up now.
ng Lei absolutely had to go to the Boundless Plane.
After a brief mont of consideration, ng Lei said, “I’ll need to make a trip back ho, Dodola.”
“Back ho?”
Dodola cocked an eyebrow.
“Each round of Dark Canopy of The Heavens lasts for at least 20 years from the point of comncent to the end. This is too long a period of ti. I need to properly settle all the matters in Heaven’s Vault Continent before I can leave with peace of mind,” explained ng Lei.
“It’s certainly pretty long.”
Dodola nodded lightly.
20 years were nothing more than just a fleeting mont to the demons and deities of the Void, but to ng Lei, it was instead an awfully long period of ti. After all, he was only in his twenties at the very most.
After that, ng Lei brought out his Fallen Angel alternate incarnation and got him to continue collecting birthday gifts on his behalf while he himself left Ice Demon Prefecture together with Dodola.
The duo returned to Light Continent a day later, which greatly surprised Ol’ Amos. It had only been ten days since ng Lei’s departure, yet he had already gotten Dark Hell Continent under control?
“Sothing cropped up, so I had to make a trip back here.”
ng Lei then brought out a couple of divine cores and more than ten Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts. He said, “Here’s a couple of higher deity divine cores and 16 Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, Ol’ President. Take them.”
“What?”
Ol’ Amos shuddered all over and exclaid loudly, “H-higher deity divine cores?!”
“Yep, higher deity divine cores. One has assimilated three types of laws of nature, while the other has assimilated two types.”
A smiling ng Lei said, “I’m giving them to you. You can decide for yourself whether or not you want to assimilate them.”
He had already given Ol’ Amos five lesser deity divine cores previously. Once Ol’ Amos assimilated them all, he would own five divine incarnations and beco a pinnacle-level interdiate deity.
At that point, as long as Ol’ Amos could assimilate any two types of laws of nature contained within, he would be able to beco a higher deity. If he could assimilate three types, then he would beco a mid-level higher deity, and so on and so forth.
In other words, Ol’ Amos would still have a shot at becoming a higher deity even if his interdiate deity status had only co about through assimilating divine cores!
However, if Ol’ Amos directly assimilated a higher deity divine core instead, while he would experience a teoric rise and beco a higher deity right away, his road of cultivation would end up becoming completely sealed off after that.
Unless ng Lei could find divine cores of even higher grade—such as Chief God ones—for Ol’ Amos, he would no longer have any chance at further progression.
“And these, too,” said ng Lei as he took out another few higher deity-level divine weapons and a pile of other random treasures. “Take all these with you, and just use them whenever you need to. I have no lack of them.”
Then, he left with Dodola, leaving behind only a stunned Ol’ Amos.
...
Upon returning to Heaven’s Vault Continent, ng Lei then went to Puhaman and the others and distributed divine cores, divine weapons, Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, and random treasures to them.
“The divine cores must be assimilated, but the migration process must also be expedited.” ng Lei instructed, “I hope to be able to see the migrations’ preliminary results upon my return.”
“We definitely won’t let you down, Master!”
Puhaman and the others bowed and gave their promise.
“Great!”
ng Lei then went to the Magical Beast Village after that.
Thanks to the vast amount of resources the Magical Beast Village had received, the villagers’ combat strength had undergone a massive change during the last few years. Several Saint Domain experts had even erged from the village, including Captain Hudders, Uncle Leo, Jonah, Joseph, and Andrew.
The older ones like Hudders continued to stay in the village, whereas the youths like Jonah, Joseph, and Andrew had headed to various corners of the continent to adventure and explore the world.
The village had undergone a great change. The shabby and primitive thatched houses of the past were gone. What replaced them were instead lavish, brand-new buildings.
Additionally, there were also a lot of new faces in the village. There were won that had married into the village, as well as children born during the recent few years...
Apart from the people whom ng Lei knew, the rest of the village had undergone a trendous change. Even ng Lei himself found the place sowhat unfamiliar to him now. Both the people and environnt had changed, indeed.
ng Lei had initially wanted to catch up with Hudders and the others, but at the sight of the village in its current state, he lost the desire to. After leaving behind a few lesser deity divine cores, he prepared to quietly leave.
“Boss, is that you?”
Unexpectedly, an agitated voice suddenly rang out in ng Lei’s mind at this point.
“Teddy?”
ng Lei was surprised.
“It really is you, Boss!”
A flash of lightning whizzed across the sky, and then a Magical Beast appeared right in front of him. It stood at 100-feet-tall and had a pair of wings on its back, yet it also possessed a powerful and muscular giant ape-like body. It was ng Lei’s very first Magical Beast pet, Teddy the Titanic Dragon-Ape!
“Boss, you’re finally back!” Teddy dived into ng Lei’s arms at once, so worked up that tears welled up in its eyes. “Teddy missed you, Boss!”
“Don’t cry. You’re already a half-deity-level Magical Beast, so how can you still snivel like a child? Aren’t you afraid that the other Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Forest would laugh at you?” said ng Lei teasingly.
“As if they would dare to!” Teddy snorted and said, “See if I don’t puml them dead if they dare to laugh at !”
“Alright, alright! I get it. You’re super strong!”
ng Lei stroked Teddy on the head and asked, “Weren’t you staying in the imperial palace all along? Why have you returned to the Magical Beast Forest?”
“The imperial palace was awfully boring without you around all the ti, Boss, so I left.”
Teddy wrinkled its nose and added, “I’m a Magical Beast, so the Magical Beast Forest is ultimately still more comfortable for . I bet you don’t know this, Boss, but I’m one of the four great kings of Magical Beast Forest now! I’m really impressive now!”
“The four great kings of Magical Beast Forest?” ng Lei raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why isn’t it just ‘the king of Magical Beast Forest’ instead?”
A look of resignation ca over Teddy’s countenance, and it replied, “I can’t beat the other three, so I can only take fourth place.”
“Who are the other three?” ng Lei asked curiously.
“The Cerulean Ox-Flood Dragon, the Titanic Giant Gorilla, and the Golden Carp.”
A gloomy Teddy then added, “They are the three major rulers of Magical Beast Forest and have already dominated the forest since a very long ti ago. Also, they’ve all already deified.”
“I see.”
ng Lei nodded in response. He couldn’t help but spread his divine cognition into the surroundings. It quickly spread to the Magical Beast Forest’s central region, where he then spotted a lake that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Occupying the lake’s bottom were a 100,000-feet-long Cerulean Ox-Flood Dragon and a sparkling, crystal-clear Golden Carp. Both emanated pure divine power and were actually lesser deity-level divine beasts!
A 100,000-feet-tall gorilla was snoozing away in the forest a short distance away from the lake. The trail of drool trickling down its mouth asured over a dozen ters long and was pretty much close to becoming a waterfall.
ng Lei let out an emotional sigh and comnted, “Never would I have expected presences like those three rulers to be in Magical Beast Forest’s central region.”
A puzzled Teddy asked, “What are you mumbling about, Boss?”
“Nothing much.”
ng Lei gave it a smile, and then, he brought out a higher deity divine core and gave it to Teddy. He said, “Teddy, you’ll be able to beat them after you assimilate this.”
“This is...”
...
ng Lei headed to the underground world after he left Magical Beast Village. There, he also gave a higher deity divine core to Little Gold, his other Magical Beast pet. He then went to New Dragon Island after that.
After several years, the Colossal Dragons had already settled down peacefully on New Dragon Island. They occupied volcanoes, lakes, deserts, forests, etc., and made them their dens.
New Dragon Island had completely beco the Colossal Dragons’ holand, and soaring Colossal Dragons could be seen everywhere.
As the Dragon Emperor, Fatty Hart had been leading a fairly comfortable life during the last few years. He held command over tens of thousands of Colossal Dragons and ruled over a whole continent, leading an extraordinarily free and unfettered life.
True enough, the mont ng Lei arrived on New Dragon Island, he discovered the fellow fooling around in bed with a female Colossal Dragon whose hoarse cries resounded far into the distance.
“That dimwit!”
Rather lost for words, ng Lei flicked a higher deity divine core over and left imdiately. He had initially wanted to catch up with Fatty Hart, but that was clearly out of the question now.
ng Lei was relieved of everything weighing on his mind after he was done, and he returned to Demon Ravine once more.
“I’m leaving, Ol’ President. I’ll leave Heaven’s Vault Continent in your care.”
“Don’t worry. You can leave with peace of mind.”
Ol’ Amos nodded heavily and said, “Everyone can forget about making any trouble on Heaven’s Vault Continent as long as I’m alive. I’ll definitely watch over it well.”
“Alright!”
ng Lei nodded lightly and turned to leave.
“Co back alive, brat!”
Ol’ Amos shouted after him.
“Don’t worry, I will!”
ng Lei gave him a wave. Then, he leaped into the space-ti rift and arrived at Dark Hell Continent once more.
“I’ve settled all outstanding matters, so I can head to the Boundless Plane with peace of mind now.” Then, ng Lei looked into the far distance and murmured, “I’ll go to Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom’s capital and et up with the other Prefecture Masters first.”
Having read Cador’s mories, ng Lei naturally knew the way to the capital. However, he also left behind his Abyss Skeletal Dragon alternate incarnation before he set off.
With his Fallen Angel and Abyss Skeletal Dragon alternate incarnations protecting Ice Demon Prefecture, it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.
Besides, Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom had also mandated that it was forbidden for anyone to challenge Prefecture Masters during the duration that Dark Canopy of The Heavens was taking place. Thus, he surmised that it was unlikely for anyone to take the opportunity to create trouble.
“Let’s go, Dodola!”
After ensuring that everything was foolproof, ng Lei and Dodola set off for the capital together.
There wasn’t much ti left before Dark Canopy of The Heavens would comnce, so ng Lei couldn’t afford any delays on the way there. Otherwise, he would definitely have ransacked all the places he passed by while on the way there.
ng Lei didn’t stay idle in spite of that, however.
“I have 940 million Divinity Crystals now. There are a lot of things I can do with that!”
ng Lei scanned through his stats interface, looking for options that he could buy credit for. He wanted to do everything he could to improve his combat strength so that he could make it into the Boundless Plane.
Host: ng Lei
Race: Human (Prival Bloodline: Primordial Human , Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat , Divine Netherworld Phoenix , Hundred-Ard Giant , Ancient Tree of Life , Frost God , Grim Reaper )
Wealth: 940 million Divinity Crystals

“I can’t buy credit for any of my bloodlines at the mont, so I won’t bother with them... Next up is my divine body.
“My tal-origin divine body... Raising its assimilation rate requires one million Divinity Crystals for every 1%, so if I want to boost it to 100%, I’ll need a total of 100 million Divinity Crystals.
“Here cos the problem—is there any purpose to boosting my tal-origin divine body’s assimilation rate to 100%?”
ng Lei fell into deep thought.
100 million Divinity Crystals was no small sum. He would be suffering a huge loss if he boosted his tal-origin divine body’s assimilation rate to 100%, only to find out that it didn’t provide much help to his combat strength.
ng Lei was sowhat in two minds about it. He asked, “System, how many Divinity Crystals would it cost to enhance my divine body with Super Enhancent?”
“Ding! The host’s divine body is currently on par with that of a mid-level higher deity’s and will rival that of a high-level higher deity’s after enhancent,” the system replied coldly, “Thus, the enhancent cost is estimated at 900 million Divinity Crystals.”
“900 million?!”
ng Lei couldn’t help but gasp.
Ascending from a limits-level interdiate deity to an elentary-level higher deity required only 3 million Divinity Crystals while ascending from an elentary-level higher deity to a mid-level higher deity required 60 million Divinity Crystals.
However, ascending from a mid-level higher deity to a high-level higher deity actually required 900 million Divinity Crystals!
What a ridiculous price!
“That’s too expensive.”
A wry smile appeared on ng Lei’s countenance. In the end, he still ended up boosting his tal-origin divine body’s assimilation rate instead.
Whoosh!
His Wealth decreased by 100 million Divinity Crystals in an instant.
At the sa ti, an incredibly sharp wave of power also instantly spread throughout ng Lei. It flowed into his limbs and every part of his body.
Buzz...
A powerful surge of golden light suffused the area all around ng Lei right away. Filled with an austere and razor-sharp aura, he looked just like an ultimate peerless weapon that had been unsheathed.
The sudden change in him alard Dodola, who turned to him with a look of astonishnt on its face and exclaid, “M-tal-elental Power of Origin[1]!”
