    “Damn!”


    “Damn!”


    “Damn!”


    Furious roars resounded throughout the sky as surging divine power swept through the entire Imperial City.


    Everyone in the Imperial City was ttened onto the ground, shaking like a leaf and ovee with fear and rm.


    “O’ Dragon God above! What’s going on?”


    “Is it the end of the world?”


    “O’ great and noble Dragon God, please save your lowly children...”


    Two figures were currently floating above the Dragon God Empire pce. One of them was an elderly man dressed in brilliant golden dragon robes1 with a purple-tinged golden crown sitting on his head. He gave off a dignified and imposing aura, as well as vast, majestic divine power.


    He stared at the twelve dragon carcassesying on the pce’s imperial square, and the ice chips littered all over, his countenance livid and wrathful mes in his eyes.


    “How dare they challenge the Dragon God Empire’s authority so! Totally treasonous and heinous! They should be ripped into a million pieces, shed a thousand times, and sentenced to extreme torture!”


    The Golden Colossal Dragon Person next to him prostrated on the ground, his heart on tenterhooks and extremely fearful and horrified.


    Nevertheless, he was still obliged to speak up because he was the veryst elder of the senior statesmen’s assembly, as well as currently the strongest Saint Domain with the highest status in the empire.


    “Grandmaster, His Majesty has returned to the heavens, and all the court officials have also been decimated. Our highest priority right now is to appoint a new emperor and rejuvenate the court so that we may take control of the situation!”


    “Appoint a new emperor?”


    The golden-robed elderly man’s wrath ebbed a little, and he asked, “Has this generation’s emperor left behind any pure-blooded offspring? If he did, then we can appoint him as the new monarch and have him serve as the new emperor!”


    “Grandmaster, Prince Barbarossa is also dead,” replied the Golden Colossal Dragon Person with wryughter.


    “How hateful!”


    The dragon-robed elderly man gnashed his teeth as he ordered, “Head to Dragon Ind at once and summon Briggs. Have him hurry to the empire and ascend the throne to take control of the situation!”


    “Yes, Grandmaster!”


    Not daring to dally, the Golden Colossal Dragon Person hurriedly flew toward the Dragon Ind. He knew very well that the Grandmaster, as one of the past Dragon Emperors as well as the one and only half-deity of the Golden Colossal Dragons, his words were thew itself. A single word from him could depose the emperor from his throne, as well as also appoint a new monarch. Whoever he appointed as emperor would be emperor—nobody dared to go against his word at all.


    “Tell me, where is Meng Lei?”


    The golden-robed elderly man’s voice was like rolling thunder as he spoke in a cold voice and questioned those who were kneeling on the ground.


    Someone answered in a trembling voice, “G-Grandmaster, I heard that Meng Lei is currently challenging the Dragon God Tower!”


    “He’s actually in the mood to challenge the Dragon God Empire after ying the Dragon God Empire’s emperor and all its court officials? That knave is too much! Does he think that there’s no longer anyone among the Dragons who can fight?!”


    The golden-robed elderly man’s fury zed even stronger, and then he headed straight toward the Dragon God Academy!


    “Is he gone?”


    “He’s gone!”


    “The Grandmaster has finally left!”


    “Phew~ I was scared to death just now!”


    At the sight of the golden-robed elderly man’s departure, everyone kneeling in the pce felt as if they had just been granted amnesty.


    “Oh no, the Grandmaster has gone to look for Meng Lei!”


    The expression on Abbe’s beautiful face changed slightly, and she quietly left the pce.


    ...


    “How can you be a descendant of the Gods-ying Rats? The Gods-ying Rats are mutated divine beasts, so it’s very hard for them to form colonies. On top of that, their numbers are pitifully low!”


    Dod was awfully astonished. “Moreover, you’re just a normal human from Heaven’s Vault Continent and have nothing whatsoever to do with the Gods-ying Rats of the Void. So why would you possess the Gods-ying Rat bloodline?”


    “That... I wouldn’t know.” Meng Lei half-jokingly said, “Who knows, maybe my ancestors are descendants of the Gods-ying Rats.”


    “Never mind, there’s no point pursuing the matter. Your Gods-ying Rat bloodline is what’s most important.” Dod was terribly excited. “Never would I have thought that the heir to the Tower of Time would actually have the Gods-ying Rat bloodline. The God of Time must be watching over us!”


    Meng Lei rolled his eyes at Dod.


    Yeah, right, as if the God of Time could watch over you! It’s I that sent himself to your doorstep, alright?


    “Since you can do aplete transformation into a Gods-ying Rat, then that means your bloodline must have alreadypletely awakened, right?”


    Dod circled around Meng Lei, marveling at him as it did so. “You currently have a high-grade half-deity’s body, which is about the same as a teenage Gods-ying Rat!”


    “A teenage one?” Meng Lei was taken aback. “What do you mean ‘teenage’? I’m almost an adult!”


    “You are certainly almost an adult, but rtive to a Gods-ying Rat, you’re just a teenager.”


    Dodughed and exined, “The Gods-ying Rats are an extremely powerful type of mutated rodent divine beast. They can rival a Saint Domain Magical Beast the moment they’re born, while a juvenile one can rival a half-deity.


    “Teenage Gods-ying Rats can contend against a true god, while those in the young adult stage can fight on par with an intermediate deity.


    “When they reach maturity, now that’s what you call monstrous. Even devouring a higher deity wouldn’t be a problem for them!”


    “In other words, I don’t need to do anything other than eating, sleeping, and then eating again, and just wait till I naturally mature and I’ll be able to contend against a higher deity? Isn’t that a little too crazy!?”


    Meng Lei was rather aghast. Even though he had already heard from the system that the Gods-ying Rat was monstrously strong, never would he have ever expected it to actually reach such an extent.


    An adult Gods-ying Rat... could actually devour a higher deity?


    That was practically crazy cool and mighty impressive, alright?


    Compared to the Gods-ying Rat, the Golden Colossal Dragon, which turned into a Saint Domain Magical Beast upon maturity, was practically trash.


    “Yes, totally crazy! That’s why it attracted the heavens’ jealousy and ended up bing unable to form colonies and can only form through the low chances of bloodline mutation. Otherwise, how are other lifeforms supposed to survive?”


    Dod shook its head and said with augh, “However, the Gods-ying Rats’ growth cycle is fairly slow. By the time you naturally mature into an adult, probably a few hundred thousand years would have passed.”


    “A few hundred thousand years? That’s too slow. Is there any way to speed up the growth process?”


    Meng Lei quickly asked for advice.


    His Gods-ying Rat bloodline assimtion rate had already reached 100%—this meant that he couldn’t buy credit for it anymore. Therefore, the process to enhance his divine body would definitely be extremely slow from now on.


    A few hundred thousand years?


    Meng Lei couldn’t wait that long!


    “The Gods-ying Rat is a type of rodent divine beast. There’s only one way to shorten the growth cycle—by eating!”


    A smiling Dod said, “You can eat precious herbs and medicines, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, elemental crystals, a true god’s divine body, and even divine cores. You just need to eat continuously without stopping, and that’ll do. Simple, right?”


    “Eating?”


    Meng Lei broke into a wry smile right away. Rearing the system already cost him a lot. Now that he had to rear a Gods-ying Rat too, wouldn’t he die of exhaustion?


    “Don’t worry, kid. The assets that the God of Time left for you is enough for you to use until you mature into an adult. The precondition is that you can get them, though.” Dod raised an eyebrow and said, “Just having a divine body is far from enough if you wish to inherit the God of Time’s assets. It mainly depends on yourws of natureprehension.”


    “Laws of natureprehension?”


    A shrewd glint shed in Meng Lei’s eyes.


    “What the God of Time relies on the most is his time-basedws of nature. It’s also the most valuable asset that he has left you. You have to inherit it no matter what.” Dod said earnestly, “To inherit time-basedws of nature, you must fullyprehend the following five elements’ws of nature—thunder, fire, wind, light, and dark. This is a prerequisite!”


    A grinning Dod gazed at Meng Lei and said, “Tell me about your degree ofprehension for these five elements’ws of nature.”


    “My degree ofprehension for these five elements’ws of nature?”


    Meng Lei couldn’t help but look at his personal stats interface.


    Host: Meng Lei


    Race: Human (Contains Gods-ying Rat bloodline <100%>)


    Wealth: 16,688 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals


    Physical Body Constitution: Half-Deity (High-Grade)


    Spirit: Divine Spirit (Elementary-Grade)


    Power of Divinity: 0.1 Divinity Crystal


    Laws of Nature: Earth (0.1%), Water (0.1%), Wind (0.2%), Fire (0.5%), Wood (0.1%), Metal (0.2%), Thunder (0.2%), Light (0.2%), Dark (0.1%), Ice (0.1%)


    His stats interface had undergone an overwhelming change, and all of it was brought upon by his Dragon God Tower challenge.


    An astonishing number of Saint Domain Magical Beasts upied the Dragon God Tower’s 30th level to the 99th level!


    They ranged from elementary-level Saint Domain to limits-level Saint Domain and included those that flew in the sky and those that swam in the water. There was just about every type that could possibly exist, and they came in great numbers.


    After passing through all the trials, not only had his Wealth gone through a dramatic spike to reach 16,688 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, but his ten elements’ws of natureprehension rate had also undergone varying degrees of improvement.


    The most important thing was that the four other bloodlines, aside from his Gods-ying Rat bloodline... were gone!


    Meng Lei had found this awfully perplexing. The exnation provided by the system was that upon reaching 100% bloodline assimtion rate for the Gods-ying Rat bloodline, all the other bloodlines in his body had been automatically removed. Otherwise, its assimtion rate wouldn’t be able to reach 100%.


    Meng Lei wasn’t too hung up over this. Removed? So be it, then. There was nothing to find a pity about it, anyway. If any, the only one that was a bit of a shame would be the Golden Gods-ying Ant bloodline.


    The Golden Gods-ying Ant was a spatial and spiritual type of Magical Beast. Meng Lei had been looking forward to the day where he could boost the Golden Gods-ying Ant bloodline assimtion rate to 100% so that he could also obtain a gut—and the extrarge space within—like Little Gold’s, but all he could do was just dream about it now.


    “What’s wrong? Is yourprehension of these five elements’ws of nature very poor?”


    Upon noticing Meng Lei’s silence, Dod broke into a slight frown. “Nothing to do about it if it’s poor anyway. You’re only 16-years-old, and on top of that, your cultivation specialization is your divine body. It’s normal for yourws of natureprehension to be a bit poorer.”


    “My cultivation specialization is my divine body?” Meng Lei was rendered speechless. “Who told you that? I’m a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts. Neither my divine body nor myws of nature cultivation hasgged behind, alright!?”


    “Eh?”


    Dod was mildly surprised. “Tell me about your currentprehension rate for those five elements, then!”


    “I’ve alreadyprehended all five elements’ws of nature.”


    Meng Lei gave Dod a proud smile. Was something that could be solved with a few hundred Laws of Nature Origin Crystals even anything worth troubling over?


    o((⊙_⊙))o?


    Dod received a huge shock. Then, it sneered coldly. “You’veprehended all five? Kid, do I look mentally challenged to you?”


    “Nope!”


    Meng Lei shook his head.


    “How dare you talk big in front of me, then?”


    Dod was furious. “At your age, being able to fullyprehend one type ofws of nature is already considered extremely monstrous.


    “Comprehend all five types ofws of nature? Shouldn’t you think a little before you talk so big?”


    “No, you’ve misheard me.”


    Meng Lei shook his head repeatedly.


    “See, I’ve seen through you, haven’t I? Don’t talk that big in front of me anymore!” Dod snorted and said, “I’ve experienced way more than you have. You can just wait to eat your own words if you talk big in front of me.”


    “What I mean is, it’s not five types but ten!” Meng Lei rolled his eyes. “I’veprehended ten types ofws of nature!”


    “How dare you talk big again! Is there any end to it?!”


    Meng Lei had really angered Dod this time. “Kid, you’d better be more serious! I’m trying to understand where you stand in your cultivation right now so that I cane up with the best cultivation n for you. I don’t have the time to joke around with you!”


    “Lord Dod, I’m also telling you this very seriously!”


    Meng Lei heaved a sigh. Then, he said seriously, “I’ve reallyprehended all ten types ofws of nature. Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Wood, Metal, Thunder, Light, Dark, and Ice—I’veprehended them all without a single onecking!”


    “Are you serious, kid?”


    Dod’s eyes bore into Meng Lei.


    “Very much so! I’m not joking!”


    Meng Lei was also very serious.


    “This... How can this be? That’s impossible! You’re only 16-years-old. How can you possibly haveprehended all ten basic types ofws of nature? Even in the whole wide universe, no-one has been able to do it!”


    “There’s nothing impossible for someone with a cheating device!” Meng Lei quietly said to himself, inwardly.
