Chapter 371: Black Cloud Continent, Earth Divine Realm

“The Boundless Plane?”

Gaiazeus was greatly surprised. He asked, “Isn’t the Boundless Plane an ordinary mid-end existential plane? How did 88th Younger Brother die in a place like that?”

“We don’t know the concrete details yet,” the Grand Elder shook his head, “But according to the news we’ve received, a super expert has made his appearance in the Boundless Plane. He’s likely connected to Lord Gaianos’ death.”

“A super expert? Who’s he?” asked Gaiazeus with a frown.

“We don’t know what his name is yet, but he’s definitely in the Boundless Plane.”

The Grand Elder said unhurriedly, “During this period of time when you were heading to the Chaotic Star Ocean, the dimensional gate leading to the Boundless Plane opened. The clan dispatched Elder Gregg to the Boundless Plane...”

The Grand Elder recounted everything that had happened. In the end, he finally said, “Lord Gaianos isn’t the only one. From what I know, the Colossal Dragon Gods’ Lord Adolphus, the Angel Gods’ Lord Marshall, the Behemoth Gods’ Lord Burnside, etc. A total of seven Great Perfection deities have entered the Boundless Plane, but to date, not a single one of them has come out alive.”

“Do you mean to say that all seven Great Perfection deities have perished in the Boundless Plane?” A huge jolt went through Gaiazeus. He practically couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“That’s right, Clan Chief.”

“Clan Chief!”

Right at this moment, someone hurriedly entered the hall. He said, “We’ve received news from the people stationed at the dimensional gate. Four of the Great Perfection deities—Lady Elune from the Nature Gods, Lord Marshall from the Angel Gods, Lord Roald from the Fire Phoenix Gods, and Lord Burnside from the Behemoth Gods—have returned!”

“They’ve returned?”

Surprise came over the Grand Elder’s features. He asked, “How is it possible that the four of them have returned alive? Didn’t they also perish like Lord Gaianos?”

The newcomer quickly replied, “Grand Elder, the four Great Perfection deities have indeed returned.”

“They’ve actually returned!” murmured the Grand Elder to himself.

A glint flashed across Gaiazeus’ eyes, and he barked, “Send my orders—ready the teleportation magic circle right away! I’m going to personally make a trip to the Behemoth Gods and find out what’s going on!”

The Grand Elder said, “Clan Chief, why don’t you send someone there instead? There’s no need for you to personally make the trip yourself.”

“My mind is set. Say no more!”

...

Similar events were also taking place among the Colossal Dragon Gods and the Giant Elephant Gods. A Great Perfection deity clansman’s demise was undoubtedly a shocking major incident in the clan!

But no matter how turbulent things were in the outside world, it had nothing whatsoever to do with Meng Lei. He remained in the Boundless Plane and concentrated on cultivating the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique instead.

Now that his divine spirit had become comparable to a lesser Chief God’s and he had even comprehended some spatial laws of nature, cultivating the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique didn’t pose much difficulty for him.

In under half a year’s time, he had already successfully mastered it.

Whoosh!

On this day, Meng Lei, who had been staying on Monarch Mountain, suddenly disappeared. By the time he reappeared, he was already in the Void outside of the Boundless Plane.

There was nothing in the icy-cold and dead silent outer space except large numbers of meteors and floating continents that orbited irregularly around the Boundless Plane.

Meng Lei disappeared again the next moment—he had actually arrived in front of an existential plane a few light-years away.

This was a fire-elemental existential plane filled with only one type of element—fire elements!

The existential plane wasn’t particularly big and was roughly the size of a low-end existential plane. However, the fire elements in there were extremely rich.

At the sight of the existential plane, Meng Lei couldn’t help but think of Salamanders, the fire-elemental life form.

That little fellow whom he named Wahaha had been residing in the Tower of Time’s 97th level all this time. In the beginning, the rich fire elements in the 97th level had made the place its paradise and had been enough for its growth, but as it became stronger and stronger, the 97th level could no longer satisfy Wahaha’s growing needs.

Simply put, the Tower of Time was starting to impede its growth.

It was just that Meng Lei didn’t have any better alternative, so he could only let it stay inside the Tower of Time all this time.

Now that he had found the fire-elemental existential plane, Meng Lei thought it a good place and immediately released Wahaha from the Tower of Time.

“Eh? What is this place?”

A puzzled look came over Wahaha’s countenance when it realized that it had suddenly appeared in the pitch-black outer space. Upon noticing Meng Lei, however, a happy smile immediately appeared on its face, and it asked, “What are you doing here, Meng Lei?”

Meng Lei then pointed at the existential plane a short distance away and replied, “I just found a fire-elemental existential plane. I think you’ll like it very much!”

When Wahaha looked at where Meng Lei was pointing, it immediately started to jump up and down in excitement and exclaimed, “What rich fire elements! That’s a fire-elemental existential plane!”

“You can go over if you like it!”

Meng Lei smiled and said, “You can stay there from now on. I’ll come back and visit someday.”

“Thank you, Meng Lei!”

Wahaha could already barely contain itself. It transformed into a burst of flames that shot right toward the fire-elemental existential plane, pierced through the dimensional wall, and dived right in.

“Haha!”

Meng Lei let out a laugh at the sight and left the place.

As a fire-elemental Salamander, Wahaha possessed enormous potential and would likely provide great assistance to him once it grew to a certain level. However, that day was too far off. Meng Lei couldn’t afford to wait that long.

Thus, he decided to just let it go and allow it to grow freely. He would like very much to see how it would develop!

After that, Meng Lei began to experiment with the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique in the Void.

As expected, it was indeed a top-class spatial special ability that allowed one to teleport across an extremely great distance.

After a series of experiments, Meng Lei discovered to his delight that the furthest he could currently teleport to was 10 light-years away. This meant that he could cross a distance of 10 light-years in an instant! How incredibly crazy was that?!

After that, Meng Lei returned to the Boundless Plane before he then went back to Dark Hell Continent.

Meng Lei also made a trip back to Light Continent before he refined Dark Hell Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane.

After being away for such a long time, it was time for him to return. There was no need to hurry to refine Dark Hell Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane, anyway.

Light Continent was just like what it was before.

It was apparent that Ol’ Amos’ faith had already spread throughout the continent and become deeply entrenched in every intelligent life form during the last 20 years while he was away, allowing them to continuously provide him with power of faith.

“Strange, where’s Ol’ President?”

Meng Lei’s gaze swept across Light Continent, yet he didn’t find any trace of Ol’ Amos at all. His divine cognition passed through the Endless Oceans and came to Heaven’s Vault Continent, where he finally found Ol’ Amos.

“The others are actually there, too!”

A smile appeared on Meng Lei’s countenance, and he teleported over right away.

...

In the Meng Lei Empire’s imperial palace on Heaven’s Vault Continent...

The conference hall was packed with people at the moment.

Ol’ Amos and Amolin, his younger sister, were also present.

All of Meng Lei’s subordinates—Puhaman, Thaniel, Bubbles, Mervyn, Pursuer, Nadja, Seisia, Galen, the Spider Goddess, the Dark Fairy Empress, and Sacas—were also there.

Amazingly enough, even Fatty Hart, the lascivious Colossal Dragon, was there!

The group of them had congregated and were arguing over something. None of them seemed to be able to convince anyone else, resulting in a persistent argument.

“Everyone, we mustn’t let such an opportunity slip by us. It’s now or never! This is an excellent opportunity for us to expand our territories. If we seize it, we’ll be able to conquer a vast amount of territory!” Puhaman patiently and earnestly persuaded them. “If Master were here, he’d definitely support my view!”

“Expanding our territories is certainly great and all, but don’t you forget something,” the Spider Goddess said coldly, “The other party we’re talking about is the Earth Divine Realm! One of the ten major Divine Realms, the Earth Divine Realm! Just how powerful are they? We may be higher deities, but this bit of strength we have is nothing in the Earth Divine Realm. To put it nicely, we’re ‘expanding our territories’, but otherwise, we’re just sending ourselves to death’s door!”

“I beg to differ, Rose!”

Galen, the Swirling Snow Sword Saint, rebutted, “While the Earth Divine Realm is certainly filled with experts, the place itself is also vast and boundless. After scattering them around, the number of experts in the Earth Divine Realm in each area will definitely be very sparse. We may not be top-notch in strength, but occupying a few mountains is completely within our means!”

“What Galen says makes sense!”

Bubbles said, “A single mountain in the Demon Realm is already bigger than all the existential planes that we currently own put together. I’m sure it’s also the same in the Earth Divine Realm. As long as we can occupy a mountain range in the Earth Divine Realm, it’ll be enough for us to spread our faith.”

“Experts are aplenty in the Earth Divine Realm. It’s highly likely that we’ll put ourselves in peril if we enter so recklessly,” said the Dark Fairy Empress with a soft sigh.

“Nothing good comes without risk! An excellent opportunity for us to enter the Earth Divine Realm is right before our eyes now. If we miss it this time, we may just miss it for good!”

Puhaman said gravely, “Everyone has already become a higher deity by now. Surely it doesn’t feel good to lack power of divinity? But an excellent opportunity for us to spread our faith sits right before our eyes now. We absolutely mustn’t let it slip by us!”

The Spider Goddess didn’t know how she should rebut his words anymore. Lack power of divinity? How could the word “lack” even cut it? It was practically an extreme deficit!

They had successfully refined the higher deity divine cores that Meng Lei had bestowed upon them and thereby became powerful higher deities. This was naturally something to be happy about, but the blemish in this otherwise perfect situation was that while they had the title, they didn’t have an abundance of power of divinity. This caused their combat power to become significantly impaired.

This was tantamount to someone being equipped with tanks and cannons yet didn’t have enough gunpowder with them. While they had the weapons, they couldn’t use them!

How torturous!

Therefore, everyone wanted to do something about the situation. The best way to replenish one’s power of divinity was to spread their faith and collect power of divinity.

Unfortunately, they evidently didn’t own enough existential planes at the moment. Even though the migration process for the 48 existential planes had long since concluded, and the populations on all 48 existential planes were multiplying dramatically every year, this still wasn’t enough!

The amount of power of divinity that a higher deity needed was simply too harrowing. 100 existential planes’ worth of power of faith domains could only barely provide a higher deity with the amount of power of divinity they needed.

Yet, they had so many higher deities among them. How would 48 existential planes possibly be enough? Therefore, they needed to expand their territories and extend their reach beyond what they currently had arisen. But the problem was...

“What are all of you arguing so intensely about?”

A familiar voice suddenly rang out in the hall in the midst of their heated debate, causing a huge jolt to go through everyone.

“Master!”

“Meng Lei!”

“Boss!!”

Meng Lei quietly appeared in the hall and gazed at all of them with a big smile.

“Greetings, Master!”

Overjoyed, everyone quickly bowed in greeting. Even Ol’ Amos was so elated that he kept stroking his beard.

“Rise, everyone!”

Meng Lei dismissed them with a wave and asked with a smile, “What were all of you arguing about just now? What is it about the Earth Divine Realm?”

“This is what happened, Master,” Puhaman suppressed his feelings of agitation and answered with a bow, “A space-time rift suddenly appeared above Black Cloud Continent half a month ago. Upon investigation, we’ve found out that the space-time rift leads to one of the ten major Divine Realms, the Earth Divine Realm.”

“The Earth Divine Realm?”

His response surprised Meng Lei. Black Cloud Continent was one of the 48 existential planes he had seized previously, so he naturally aware of its existence. Even so, little did he think that the space-time rift above Black Cloud Continent actually led to the Earth Divine Realm!

“Yes, Master!”

Puhaman continued his explanation and said, “Upon investigation, we’ve confirmed that the space-time rift does indeed lead to the Earth Divine Realm. On top of that, we’ve also exchanged blows with some of the experts from the Earth Divine Realm...”
