Picking Up Attributes From Today-Chapter 363: A Chief God’s Mighty Aura, A Powerful Enemy Attacks

By the time all the enhancements were complete, Meng Lei felt as if his divine body had improved in quality by a whole notch again.

He didn’t know concretely what kind of standard it had reached, but... it really was very powerful!

Meng Lei had a feeling that the current him could kill ten of his previous selves with a single punch. The difference between then and now was like night and day—there was no comparability between the two at all.

“I currently own six types of Ancient God Bloodlines. This is definitely a groundbreaking first. Is there anyone in the whole wide universe that’s as impressive as I am?”

The Primordial Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline!

The Netherworld Ancestral Phoenix bloodline!

The Hundred-Armed Giant King bloodline!

The Ancient Tree of Life bloodline!

The Frost King bloodline!

The Grim Reaper King bloodline!

Added to this the fact that Meng Lei himself was a Primordial Human, that made it a total of seven Ancient God Bloodlines. Meng Lei was undoubtedly the one and only person like that in the whole world!

“System, how many Divinity Crystals does it cost to enhance my divine body?”

Meng Lei wanted to know how strong his divine body currently was. Asking the system was the simplest way to find out.

“Ding! The host’s Physical Body Constitution is currently that of a mid-level Ancient God’s and will rival that of a high-level Ancient God’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 100 trillion Divinity Crystals,” replied the system coldly.

“Will you enhance it?”

“A mid-level Ancient God? Tsk, tsk. That’s a lesser Chief God-level divine body!”

Meng Lei let out a long breath of air. “Calm down, calm down! This is to be expected!”

He had already assimilated his metal-origin divine body, his wood-origin divine body had reached Great Mastery-level, and his Ancient Tree of Life bloodline assimilation rate had been raised to 100%.

By this point, his divine body was already comparable to a Great Perfection deity’s—in other words, a low-level Ancient God’s!

He had then also assimilated the thunder-origin divine body and boosted it to Great Mastery-level, thereby strengthening his divine body even further.

After that, he had also boosted the Primordial Human bloodline and strengthened several bloodlines today. Thus, his divine body had undergone another round of furious enhancements.

Thus, it was completely understandable that his divine body had reached the mid-level Ancient God stage after the series of enhancements!

“But...” Meng Lei marveled, “My divine body has only become comparable to a mid-level Ancient God’s, even though I’ve enhanced so many attributes one after the other. It’s apparent for this just how vast the difference between a low-level Ancient God and a mid-level one is!”

(Note: Mid-level Ancient God = Lesser Chief God)

“Given my mid-level Ancient God body and the time-based laws of nature that I’ve comprehended, my current self is already completely in a position to fight a lesser Chief God head-on now!”

Meng Lei murmured, “If I must pick out a shortcoming, then it would be my divine spirit that’s at the high-level higher deity stage. How can I, someone who’s comparable to a Chief God, allow myself to have any shortcomings?”

“System, enhance my divine spirit!”

“Ding! The host’s divine body is currently on par with that of a high-level higher deity’s and will rival that of a Great Perfection-level higher deity’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 12 billion Divinity Crystals.”

The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”

“Yes, enhance it!”

Whoosh!

As his Wealth decreased by 12 billion Divinity Crystals, his divine spirit also reached Great Perfection-level as desired.

It wasn’t over yet, though!

Meng Lei glanced at his Wealth value of 70 trillion Divinity Crystals and gave the order for enhancement again.

“Ding! The host’s divine body is currently on par with that of a Great Perfection-level higher deity and will rival that of a lesser Chief God’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 1 trillion Divinity Crystals.”

The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”

“Yes, enhance it!”

Whoosh!

His Wealth went down by 1 trillion Divinity Crystals again.

Boom!

After a long while...

Meng Lei slowly let out a pent-up breath. His eyes gleamed brightly, and fearsome divine spirit energy waves emanated from him and swept into every direction.

Boom!

Outside the hall, the Great Prophet, Olio, the other Boundless Giants, the Fairy Goddess, and the other goddesses that hadn’t yet left were all flattened onto the ground.

Cold sweat drenched everyone. The divine spirit force coming from the shrine was simply too fearsome. They didn’t have any means of resisting it at all.

“A... A Chief God!”

“That’s Chief God-level divine spirit force!”

“Has he actually broken through to the Chief God stage?”

“A Chief God? What kind of joke is that? How can he possibly have a Chief God divine core?”

The goddesses were indescribably horrified. They didn’t believe that Meng Lei could break through to the Chief God stage. After all, he didn’t have a Chief God divine core at all, so how could he possibly attain Chief Godhood?

Yet, these were true blue Chief God-level divine power energy waves!

So, here came the problem—how exactly did Meng Lei manage to achieve that?

Horrified!

Perplexed!

Disbelieving!

Inconceivable!

Of course, while the Great Prophet and the others were certainly astounded, they were naturally also overjoyed. Meng Lei was the Boundless Giants’ new master. The stronger he became, the safer they would be.

“Congrats, Meng Lei!”

Dodola circled and fluttered around Meng Lei as it let out an emotional sigh from the bottom of its heart. It said, “Apart from your comprehension of time-based laws of nature that’s still slightly inferior to the God of Time, you’ve already completely surpassed him in every other aspect. He’d definitely be greatly comforted if he knew!”

“You’ve finally said it!” A beaming Meng Lei said, “It sure wasn’t easy to gain your approval!”

“Work hard, Meng Lei!” An encouraging Dodola said, “You’ll definitely stand at the pinnacle of the world someday!”

“Haha, I hope your wishes come true!”

Meng Lei then broke into a smile and said, “It’s time to refine the Boundless Plane’s Heart of The Existential Plane.”

“Yeah!”

After that, Meng Lei teleported to where the Heart of The Existential Plane was. He enveloped the Heart of The Existential Plane in his divine spirit power and started to refine it furiously.

Had it been the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor, the Three-Headed Hell Empress, or the Fallen Emperor instead, they would never be able to refine a mid-end existential plane’s Heart of The Existential Plane in under several hundred—or even 1,000—years.

But Meng Lei was different. He had a lesser Chief God-level divine spirit, so refining it was a much easier task and naturally also took less time.

Time passed rapidly during the refinement process. Before he knew it, 20 years had passed.

...

On this day, the Fairy Goddess and the other 30-odd goddesses eagerly went over to where the dimensional gate was and waited for it to open.

“I’m finally leaving this goddamn place!”

The Iron Goddess was rather agitated. She lamented, “My goodness! The last 20 years were the most arduous 20 years of my entire lifetime. I spent every moment in fear and trepidation, deathly afraid that that guy would have a screw loose in his head and come over to kill us all!”

“Spending every day in that guy’s shadow was certainly an ordeal. Fortunately, our term here ends today, so we can finally leave!” added the Ocean Goddess.

“I swear I’ll never step into the Boundless Plane ever again...”

The goddesses chatted noisily with one another as they vented their feelings of repression and frustration that they had accumulated over the last 20 years. Only the Fairy Goddess remained quiet, her delicate brows tightly knitted together.

“What’s wrong, Diana? You don’t seem to be in a good mood,” asked the puzzled Lava Goddess as she gazed at the silent Fairy Goddess.

“It’s... nothing.”

The Fairy Goddess mustered a smile.

“Are you worried about that guy?” asked the Lava Goddess with a frown.

“N-no!”

The Fairy Goddess hastily shook her head.

“Don’t bother hiding it. You’re not good at lying.”

The Lava Goddess shook her head and sighed. She said, “Although that guy’s prowess is unfathomably deep, he’s made too big a mess this time. Even if we disregard everything else and just focus on the Thunderbolt Divine Realm alone, the number of experts that he’s killed is no fewer than 10,000-odd. The godly clans behind their backs will never let him off!

“Sigh, he can only count on his luck now.”

The Fairy Goddess also sighed and said, “I had intended to bring him into the Goddess System because he has a metal-origin divine body, but now...”

“Bring him into the Goddess System? I think you’d better just forget about it.”

The Lava Goddess shook her head resolutely. “With that murderous, ruthless, and vicious nature of his, he’ll totally be a misfit in the Natural Goddesses System. Besides, he’ll have to overcome his current trials first. He’s already become the number one public enemy of all the gods and demons in the Void.”

“That’s true...”

The Fairy Goddess let out a soft sigh.

“It’s open!”

“The dimensional gate is opening!”

The goddesses started to cheer at this point. The Fairy Goddess raised her head and looked over—true enough, the dimensional gate was slowly appearing and opening in mid-air.

“I can finally leave this goddamn place!”

“C’mon, let’s hurry and leave. I don’t want to stay here for even a moment longer!”

“Let’s go, Diana,” said the smiling Lava Goddess.

“Yeah!”

The Fairy Goddess nodded slightly. After casting a glance in the Monarch Mountain direction, she got ready to enter the dimensional gate.

Unexpectedly, right at that moment...

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly charged out of the dimensional gate. He stood at 10,000-feet-tall, had intertwining muscles, wore golden armor, and emanated immense divine power.

Strong, surging, and fearsome divine power emanated from the figure the moment he appeared, weighing down on the goddesses so strongly that their expressions couldn’t help but change greatly. They exclaimed, “A G... Great...”
