Meng Lei understood what Moro said more than anyone else.
Taking Earth as an example, ancient humans did not know that the ground they stood on was round, not knowing that they were living on a sphere. Beyond the Earth, they knew nothing about outer space, be it the solar system, the Milky Way Galaxy, or the entire universe. Even in the modern age, knowledge about space was limited.
That was the limitation of one’s cognition.
In this aspect, those lofty Juggernauts were the same. They lived inside the vast universe, and they had never stepped foot beyond it or received any information about it. Hence, their cognition had its limitations too.
What was beyond the universe?
No one knew!
Perhaps, it was a world of nothingness.
Maybe, it was an even larger world.
What exactly was it?
Who knew!
No matter what, no one could refute Moro’s speculations, especially after seeing this mysterious pillar. The possibility was very high.
“System, plunder the bloodline within this pillar,” Meng Lei ordered suddenly.
“Ding! Plundering target: Whisker of the Primordial Kun1. Target substance: The Primordial Kun bloodline. Plundering cost is estimated at 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you plunder it?”
“Primordial Kun?”
Meng Lei perked up. “System, what kind of creature is the Primordial Kun?”
There was no response.
Damn it! Playing dead again!
Meng Lei scolded in his thoughts, but he could not do anything to the system. Instead, he turned to Moro. “Moro, do you know a creature known as Primordial Kun?”
“Primordial Kun?” Moro paused a while before shaking his head. “Never heard of it.”
“Fine!”
Meng Lei turned his attention back to the whiskers of the Primordial Kun. Despite the lack of knowledge, Meng Lei believed that the price of plundering its bloodline alone was too outrageous.
“What kind of creature requires so many Supreme Divinity Crystals just to plunder the bloodline in its whisker?” Meng Lei muttered, “This Primordial Kun must be an incredibly fearsome creature!”
Of course, it might be fearsome, but Meng Lei was not stupid enough to spend 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals to plunder the bloodline of the Primordial Kun. 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals were worth his entire savings, which he could not bear to spend.
Meng Lei kept this whisker and left the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods base as he continued visiting the Titan Gods, Angel Gods, Fire Phoenix Gods, Frost Gods…
Lastly, Meng Lei arrived at the territory of Nature Gods.
The Nature Gods base was situated in the Nature Mountains. The gigantic structure could be sighted from a long way out as it towered on the mountain top. The tree crown covered hundreds of light-years with an enormously thick trunk like a heavenly pillar.
Enormous!
Lofty and majestic!
Tall and towering!
Blotting out the skies!
“So this is the Ancient Tree of Life?”
Meng Lei gazed at the gigantic tree that rose into the skies. He was at a loss for words since it was the largest lifeform he had ever seen.
The four Supreme Divine Trees—the Earth Divine Realm’s Mother Tree of Earth, the Oceanic Realm’s Deep Sea Coral Willow, the Light Divine Realm’s Fusang Divine Tree, and the Metal Divine Realm’s Golden Apple Tree. Comparing their size alone, the Ancient Tree of Life was the largest of all of them.
It was enormous in size and rich in vitality that could be felt from afar. A deep breath of the air around would energize a person immediately.
“As expected from the top of the five Supreme Divine Trees!” Meng Lei remarked as he flew toward the direction quickly.
Rustle, rustle!
Just as Meng Lei got nearer to the Ancient Tree of Life, the tree shook, and an aged voice rang. “Outsiders shall take no further steps forward!”
“Eh? They’ve discovered me?”
Meng Lei was surprised. He had plundered 99 godly clans of the ten Divine Realms before this, but no one had discovered his presence. He did not expect that the Ancient Tree of Life could detect him.
Interesting.
Meng Lei’s mouth quirked upward as he stopped to ask, “Ancient Tree of Life, why did you stop me here?”
“Outsider, the Nature Gods have closed off the mountain, forbidding anyone to step inside. Please leave at once.” The voice came from the Ancient Tree of Life.
“Closed off the mountain? Why so?”
Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.
“Please leave immediately, outsider!” the Ancient Tree of Life replied slowly.
“I’m not here today to worship or for the reputation of the Nature Gods. I’m here to take away my trophies!” Meng Lei said with a faint smile.
“Trophies?”
The Ancient Tree of Life became puzzled.
Meng Lei said dispassionately, “I’ve killed your Chief God. Her wealth and the riches of the entire Nature Gods are naturally my trophies! Any objections?”
“What did you just say?”
The Ancient Tree of Life trembled violently while an enormous face appeared on its trunks. It could no longer cover up the horror on its face.
Meng Lei was taken aback. “Do you know that the Nature Goddess is dead?”
“I nurtured the Nature Goddess myself, and I have a unique connection with her. I could sense that she had fallen half a month ago.” The Ancient Tree of Life stared at Meng Lei closely and continued. “As for how she had fallen, I knew nothing about it.”
“I see.” Meng Lei nodded. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell you that I was the one who killed your Nature Goddess. Other than her, 99 Chief Gods from the ten major Divine Realms are dead too.”
“This…”
The Ancient Tree of Life was in utter shock as his gaze on Meng Lei was filled with terror and shock. It could never have imagined that Meng Lei had managed to wipe out 100 Chief Gods. It was simply… simply…
Horrifying!
“So, are you still going to block my way?”
An amused Meng Lei smirked.
Block you? No way I’m doing that!
The Ancient Tree of Life almost wet itself in fear as it answered in a trembling voice, “You first, sir!”
“Good!”
Meng Lei nodded his head as he flew toward the base of the Nature Gods. The Ancient Tree of Life was only a Great Perfection-level lifeform, so Meng Lei did not think much of it.
“My goodness! What is this guy?”
The Ancient Tree of Life watched the back of Meng Lei as it trembled in fear.
The divine cognition shrouded the entire Nature Gods Mountains as Meng Lei found the treasury of the Nature Gods and the Nature Goddess’s private treasury. He was in no rush to plunder them as he casually grabbed a cool, elegant goddess in black robes over.
“W-who are you?”
The Dark Goddess was cultivating inside her shrine when she was caught. The fact that she was powerless to resist made her fearful. She knew unquestionably that she had met a terrifying existence.
Normally, she would not be that afraid with the Nature Goddess around. Who would dare to cause trouble over here?
Times had changed, however, as the Mother Tree had said due to the Nature Goddess’ demise. The Nature Gods were faced with the greatest crisis in their history.
How could the Dark Goddess be calm when the powerful enemy caught her all of a sudden?
“No worries, I won’t kill you.”
Meng Lei gave a warm smile.
“W-what do you want?”
The Dark Goddess’s face turned pale.
“Borrow something from you!”
Meng Lei gave the order to plunder.
Whoosh!
The Dark Goddess felt an unknown great power engulfing her before she sensed that something was taken away from her. She became incredibly weak as though her divine body had been emptied.
“W-what have you done to me?”
Her face had turned ghastly pale by this point.
Meng Lei did not answer. It was not that he did not want to. Something unexpected happened the moment the dark-origin divine body assimilated into his body.
