Chapter 427: Ol’ Amos Awakened, Blissful Old Man

“Cough, cough!”

Coarse sounds of coughing rang as the air shook slightly. A black figure covered in a dark cloak appeared before everyone. It was the other supreme Juggernaut of the Netherworld—the Grim Reaper King.

A cloud of black mist shrouded the Grim Reaper King’s face, and no one could have a clear view of his face, but that terrifying might it gave off was the real deal.

“Grim Reaper King, your voice is pretty thunderous.”

Meng Lei sized up the Grim Reaper King as an indistinct look flashed across his eyes. He had assimilated the Grim Reaper bloodline before, and he could be considered a Grim Reaper as well. Hence, his gaze at the appearance of the Grim Reaper King was inevitably complex.

The black mist shrouding the Grim Reaper King’s face rippled as a loud and clear voice rang.

“Sir, who are you exactly? Since when did an expert like you appear in this universe? Why haven’t I heard of you before?”

“I was only a nameless nobody a few months ago. Of course you wouldn’t have heard of me.” Meng Lei waved it off. “By the way, may I ask what’s your business over here, Grim Reaper King?”

“I got curious when I sensed the intense reverberation of the Power of The Netherworld, and it was broken up by someone violently. Therefore I arrived here to see for myself.” The Grim Reaper King looked at Meng Lei. “I didn’t expect to witness such an incredible scene. I wonder if I should be happy or sad?”

“You should be happy about it, of course.” Meng Lei chuckled. “It’s my great honor to meet the famed Grim Reaper King.”

The Grim Reaper King could not hide his smile. “I wonder what business you have in the Netherworld, sir.”

“It’s very simple. I’m collecting wealth.” Meng Lei smiled faintly. “I’m a man who worships money like it’s my life. I’m here today in the Netherworld to collect all kinds of gold, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, and Demonic Crystals. Would you like to assist me?”

“Since you have such a need, I’ll do my best to help!” The Grim Reaper King nodded slightly. “May I proceed, sir?”

“You have my gratitude, Grim Reaper King.”

Meng Lei thanked him with a smile.

“Please wait for a moment. I’ll be back soon!” The Grim Reaper King disappeared on the spot as if he was afraid that staying a second longer would cost his life.

“You’re letting him leave just like that, Master?”

The Death Dominus was rather confused. In order to get them to serve him, Meng Lei had refined their divine spirit origin energy and enslaved them. On the other hand, the Grim Reaper King was much better off as Meng Lei only requested his help—the difference was too huge.

“Haha, I just feel like it.”

Meng Lei waved it off with an indifferent expression. What was so important about being enslaved or not?

“...”

The Death Dominus and Life Dominus looked at each other, speechless. That was discrimination...

“It’s time to visit the palace of the Supreme God of The Underworld.”

Meng Lei flew toward the shrine on top of the mountain. Upon entering the shrine, he sat on the throne of the Supreme God of The Underworld. The Life Dominus and Death Dominus stood on the two sides of Meng Lei like two guards.

Waiting was a source of boredom, so Meng Lei prepared to check on the destiny laws of nature he had obtained previously. However, an exclamation came from the Tower of Time to break the atmosphere.

“Hahaha, I’ve attained Great Perfection now!

“I’ve finally become a Great Perfection deity!

“Never in my lifetime have I ever thought that—

“Eh?”

Meng Lei appeared in the Tower of Time to see his Ol’ President red in the face as he burst into a peal of loud laughter while his clear voice spread around.

“Have you succeeded with the assimilation, Ol’ Amos?”

Meng Lei went over to greet with a smile.

“I’ve succeeded! I’ve finally succeeded!”

Ol’ Amos looked at Meng Lei with a face of gratitude. “Meng Lei, I cannot thank you enough! If it weren’t for you, I would never have gotten the chance to become a Great Perfection deity in my lifetime!”

“Ol’ Amos, you’re speaking like I’m an outsider.” Meng Lei smiled. “If it weren’t for your guidance in the past, how could I have accomplished what I have achieved today?”

“Oh, you’re too humble,”

Ol’ Amos smiled and shook his head. “Given your freaky talent, you’d rise up sooner or later, even without me. Oh yes, where are Puhaman and the rest?”

“Well... They’re all assimilating their Chief God divine cores,” Meng Lei said with great pleasure.

(⊙_⊙)???

Ol’ Amos was dumbfounded for a moment. “What? Wait what?”

“I’m saying that they’re all assimilating Chief God divine cores to become Chief Gods once they succeed,” Meng Lei repeated himself.

“Assimilating Chief God divine cores? Become Chief Gods?” Ol’ Amos jumped into the air when he heard that. “What the heck!? Where did their Chief God divine core come from? Or perhaps you’re powerful enough to hunt down Chief Gods!?”

Where did those Chief God divine cores come from?

Ol’ Amos could only think of Meng Lei as the answer.

“Yes!” Meng Lei smiled. “While you were away with the assimilation of your Great Perfection divine core, I accidentally broke through again and killed some Chief Gods along the way to obtain some of their divine cores.”

If anyone else told him that, Ol’ Amos would have scoffed at the idea of ‘accidentally broken through’. Killing Chief Gods at will? It would have been ridiculed.

However, if Meng Lei said that, it was completely normal to Ol’ Amos. He knew Meng Lei long enough to the extent that even if Meng Lei told him that he had become a Primordial World Genesis God, he would believe every word without any doubts.

“Where is mine? Where’s my Chief God divine core?”

Ol’ Amos jumped and grabbed onto Meng Lei’s shoulders. His eyes were bloodshot as they stared at Meng Lei fervently, overcome by excitement, greed, and desire. “I’ve known you well enough. You must have one for me, right?”

Meng Lei thought of joking with Ol’ Amos that there were no more Chief God divine cores. However, he did not dare to as he did not want the old man to snap his neck due to utter disappointment.

Meng Lei was rather amused and waved his arm to release over 100 Chief God divine cores. He sorted them into 11 stacks according to the supreme Celestial Realm and the ten major Divine Realms. “Here are more than 100 Chief God divine cores. 46 from the supreme Celestial Realm and over 80 from the ten major Divine Realms. Which one would you like to assimilate?”

“S-so many Chief God divine cores?”

Ol’ Amos was shocked as he gasped and began stuttering. “1... 100 Chief God divine cores? You... you’ve killed every Chief Gods of the supreme Celestial Realm and the ten Divine Realms?”

Ol’ Amos knew that there were 144 Chief Gods in the universe. Other than those that Puhaman and the rest had refined, there were around 120 left. Yet, the 120 divine cores were all here.

It meant that... Meng Lei might have killed them all!

“Well, I guess.” Meng Lei nodded. “Other than 144 Chief Gods, there’s two Juggernauts too.”

“T-two Juggernauts?”

Ol’ Amos froze instantly as if he was looking at a monster.

No! I shouldn’t be this shocked and overwhelmed. Just stay calm since anything that happens to him is normal!

Ol’ Amos tried desperately to restrain himself, telling himself to keep calm. Still, he could not help but ask, “Meng Lei, you... You’re so powerful to such an extent?”

“Well, I guess.”

“Oh god!”

After quite a while, Ol’ Amos finally calmed down slightly as he scanned the hundred-over Chief God divine cores available. He was dazzled by the choices while he could not take his eyes off them.

“Meng Lei, which one of these should I assimilate?” Ol’ Amos rubbed his hands excitedly.

“You got to choose from the supreme Celestial Realm.” He answered promptly. “The Celestial Realm’s size is ten thousand times the size of the ten Divine Realms, so the Chief Gods there are relatively stronger than those from the ten major Divine Realms.”

“Okay, supreme Celestial Realm it is!”

Ol’ Amos repeatedly nodded as he took one divine core from the pile belonging to the supreme Celestial Realm. He was about to find a place to refine it when Meng Lei stopped him. “Ol’ Amos, take these 22 divine cores to refine too.”

(⊙_⊙)?

Ol’ Amos was stunned once more.

“Take these 22 Chief God divine cores with you to refine all together,” Meng Lei repeated with a smile.

“Oh no, no, no. I can’t accept this.” Ol’ Amos shook his head vigorously. “I’m satisfied with this one. What is the use of so many divine cores? You should keep them for yourself!”

“These are useless to me now.”

Meng Lei gifted 22 divine cores from the supreme Celestial Realm to Ol’ Amos with a wave of his arm. “Alright, don’t waste time on refining these. I’m leaving.”

With that said, Meng Lei disappeared straightaway. Ol’ Amos watched him disappear before he tried to call him, but Meng Lei was nowhere to be seen. He could not help but let out wry laughs after wry laughs.

He had just been struck by bliss, but he did not expect more bliss to come. 23 Chief God divine cores were unimaginable!

Ol’ Amos hugged those 23 divine cores and fell into blissful trouble. “How am I supposed to refine all these? Sigh... Sometimes bliss can be a problem too.”
