"Refine the universe's origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe, comparable to the Primordial World Genesis Gods!"
Meng Lei continuously mumbled this sentence, his eyes flashing brightly.
"When an era comes to an end, and when the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process happens, laws of nature retreat and the origin of the universe appears. This is the best time to assimilate the universe's origin energy!"
Moro continued."And it is because of this that many ambitious players would emerge, fight for the universe's origin energy, and attempt to become the Lord of The Universe. Destruction Dominus is one of them. I fought with him years ago, so I will not forget his scent until the day I die!"
"Which means the Destruction Dominus is an ancient fellow from the era before the last?"
Meng Lei looked at the Destruction Dominus, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
The longer one lives, the more one knows...
"Not bad!"
Moro reminded him, "Be careful. When the last era suddenly emerged, this guy showed strength comparable to Supreme Gods. Don't let your guard down at all, in case it costs you unexpectedly."
"Don't worry, I know!"
Meng Lei licked his tongue and looked at the Destruction Dominus greedily."I didn't expect you were actually an ancient monster from the era before the last. And even lesser did I expect, that you actually sent over the destiny laws of nature. Destruction Dominus, I really have to thank you!"
Upon hearing the first sentence, the Destruction Dominus' facial complexion changed slightly."How did you know? Can you also be an ancient monster who survived from two eras ago? No! It can't be, your scent is too strange. I have never seen you. Who are you after all?"
"It's unimportant who I am!" Meng Lei smiled slightly."What's important is that I have to thank you!"
"Thank me?"
The Destruction Dominus was a bit stunned.
"Yes! Thank you for bringing the destiny laws of nature!"
Meng Lei smiled mildly and made the order to plunder immediately."System, get out to work. Plunder the Destruction Dominus' destiny laws of nature immediately!"
"Ding! Plunder target: Destruction Dominus. Target substance: Destiny Laws of Nature. Estimated plunder price: 50 Supreme Divinity Crystal!" The cold voice of the system sounded."Would you like to plunder?"
"50 Supreme Divinity Crystals? It's not expensive!" Meng Lei's mouth curved upward."Why do you ask? Plunder!"
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Destruction Dominus suddenly felt a mysterious force envelop him. He was in a daze, and then a melancholic, grievous feeling invaded his mind. The Destruction Dominus felt like he lost something, but he couldn't say what exactly it was!
In the meantime, Meng Lei felt an extremely rich and powerful rush of information suddenly entering his mind and blending into the divine spirit flame. Meng Lei hurriedly restrained his thoughts and started rapid comprehension.
Destiny!
Every life has its destiny!
Destiny...
Information about the destiny laws of nature flashed across his mind like a movie. Meng Lei rapidly absorbed, read, and comprehended...
After an unknown period, maybe just an instant, a long while, Meng Lei finally mastered all of the destiny laws of nature.
Looking at the stats interface again, he saw that "Destiny Laws of Nature" was indeed added to the Laws of Nature comprehension column.
Laws of Nature: Time (100%), Destruction (100%), Life (100%), Spatial (100%), Death (100%), Destiny (0. 1%)
"System, how many Supreme Divinity Crystals does it cost to improve destiny laws of nature?" Meng Lei asked the system.
The system answered without any hesitation, "Ding! 1, 000 Supreme Divinity Crystals are required to improve Destiny Laws of Nature by 1%!"
"1... 1, 000 Supreme Divinity Crystals?"
Meng Lei drew a cold breath."1, 000 Supreme Divinity Crystals are required to improve a mere 1%, wouldn't it require 100, 000 Supreme Divinity Crystals to completely master destiny laws of nature!?"
Meng Lei felt a tingling on his scalp. After plundering the 10 Divine Realms and the 148 Divine Races of the Supreme Celestial Realm, he had only barely accumulated 1, 000 Supreme Divinity Crystals.
And now!
The extremely costly destiny laws of nature actually required 100, 000 Supreme Divinity Crystals. This is so f*cking ridiculous! Where was he to find so many Destiny Laws of Nature!?
"I'm sad!"
Meng Lei rubbed his temples and feeling troubled."In this case, I can only go and make trouble at the demons' camp!"
Speaking of which, Meng Lei looked at the Destruction Dominus again and said mildly, "In order to thank you for bringing me the destiny laws of nature, I have decided to leave you with a full corpse!"
As he spoke, Meng Lei reached out to directly grab at the Destruction Dominus.
"You wanna kill me? You can't kill me!" The Destruction Dominus roared and immediately teleported himself out by manipulating Celestial Realm forces.
Upon seeing this, Meng Lei couldn't help but shake his head slightly."I just comprehended the destiny laws of nature. I will use you to try it out then, " he murmured.
Then, Meng Lei's divine spirit plunged into the Void of Destiny, found the Destruction Dominus' line of destiny, and then cut it gently. The Destruction Dominus' line of destiny was instantly broken by a long length, with only a small strand barely attached.
At that moment, the Destruction Dominus, who teleported to the distance, suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness in his body. It was as if his divine body was emptied. His entire person was extremely weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
The Destruction Dominus was shocked and scared. He hurried to examine himself, and to his astonishment, he realized that neither his divine body nor his divine spirit had been weakened. Yet, he just felt an unprecedented weakness, as though he had returned to his weakest period.
"Destiny laws of nature! This is the power of destiny!" the Destruction Dominus said with a hoarse voice."Sh*t! Destiny laws of nature attacked me!"
His divine spirit hurriedly went into the Void of Destiny, meaning to check on his own line of destiny, only to find that he actually couldn't enter the Void of Destiny.
"What's going on? Why can't I enter the Void of Destiny!?"
The Destruction Dominus was astonished, and then he tried madly. In the end, he discovered something even more tragic—his understanding of destiny laws of nature was... gone!
In other words, it was replaced with a blankness!
"How did that happen? Where is the destiny laws of nature I comprehended!?"
The Destruction Dominus felt like he was struck by lightning.
Meng Lei appeared quietly with the Life Dominus and Death Dominus.
The Destruction Dominus stared at Meng Lei."What did you do to me!?"
"Nothing much, I just deprived you of your comprehension of destiny laws of nature, " Meng Lei said lightly, as though he was speaking of something totally insignificant.
Yet, in the ears of the Destruction Dominus, Life Dominus, and Death Dominus, the impact was no less than a bolt of thunder. Under shock, the three Dominuses' bodies quivered violently, and their facial complexions changed significantly.
"Deprived him of destiny laws of nature!?"
"Master actually has such ability?"
The Life Dominus and Death Dominus gave each other a look and saw shock and amazement in each other's eyes.
"Y-you deprived my comprehension of the destiny laws of nature?" The Destruction Dominus was a bit hysterical."No! It's impossible! It's impossible!"
"There's no point saying more. Go to hell!"
Meng Lei made a casual grab, directly grabbing the Destruction Dominus in his hand. His divine spirit force rushed out wildly and submerged the Destruction Dominus' divine spirit right away. It started a mad spirit search.
"Argghhhh!"
The Destruction Dominus roared hoarsely, struggled, and resisted madly, yet everything was in vain. He was weak and couldn't fight against Meng Lei at all.
Eventually, Meng Lei finished reading the Destruction Dominus' memory and learned all his secrets. Meng Lei's eyes flashed right away, and he disappeared right where he was. When he reappeared, he was already in that mysterious underground space. That coffin quietly floated in mid-air.
Yet the coffin cover was open, and the one inside was actually gone. The gray skeleton... was gone!
"Sh*t! I actually let him run away!" Meng Lei cursed quietly. He knew who the gray skeleton was; that was the other Destruction Dominus.
In other words, he was the other body of the Destruction Dominus. They were the same person, to begin with.
Meng Lei also knew that the gray skeleton was indeed an old monster from the era before the last.
Because of this, after the start of the new era, he had been suppressed by the Order Laws of Nature. He couldn't cultivate, absorb energy, or improve...
One could say that the new era was very hostile to lifeforms from the old era. In order to deal with such a situation, the gray skeleton had separated out a pure divine spirit origin, which didn't contain his memory, consciousness, thinking, and divinity, and then dropped it into the new era.
This was pretty much trafficking, but he had succeeded in cheating the Order Laws of Nature. This divine spirit had eventually grown to become the Destruction Dominus. The gray skeleton had planned very well. He had been hiding there, studying the Order Laws of nature, while the Destruction Dominus was outside removing obstructions.
The two had been working together and planning to refine the universe's origin energy once again when this era came to an end, and the Order Laws of Nature retreated; They would then seize the controlling power of the universe!
And it was because of that, when the Destruction Dominus had discovered Meng Lei, a factor of instability, the Destruction Dominus tried to erase Meng Lei at all cost.
All was well with his planning, but with all that planning, he hadn't expected that Meng Lei was actually this strong. Even though the Destruction Dominus had a bit of comprehension of the destiny laws of nature, he had still been badly defeated by Meng Lei.
What was more tragic was that Meng Lei had even robbed him of the destiny laws of nature!
"Wait for it! You won't escape from me!"
Meng Lei snorted, left the space, and returned to the external world.
"Master!"
The Life Dominus and Death Dominus approached him.
"Let's go! Off to the supreme Netherworld!"
Meng Lei gave an order right away.
"Yes, Master!"
Despite the thousands of questions the two had, they didn't dare question and obediently agreed.
"Don't resist, follow me!"
Meng Lei let out divine cognition to wrap the Life Dominus and Death Dominus and disappeared from the Supreme Celestial Realm. When they reappeared, they were already in the vast Void.
...
At the depth of the distant universe, in a far and unknown corner, a crack quietly appeared. A gray skeleton emerged from within. It was just the gray skeleton.
"This deserves death! Death!"
A ghostly gray fire flickered wildly inside the skull, showing how angry he was right now.
"Bast*rd! Wait for it, I won't let you go!
"It's mine!
"This era is mine!
"The universe's origin energy is mine!
"The entire universe is also mine!
"Any existence that hinders me has to die!"
His cold roar filled up the surroundings. The gray skeleton gradually calmed down."I didn't expect this era to actually birth such an existence. He not only has the terrible ability to rob laws of nature, but his line of destiny is actually this strong too. This is troublesome!
"I have to find a way to kill him!
"If he doesn't die, I have no chance!
"He has to die!"
