Picking Up Attributes From Today Chapter 233

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

There were four great true gods in Heaven's Vault Continent. They were also the four deities whom the four major empires worshiped—the Dragon God, the Titan Spiritual God, the Beast God, and the Fairy Goddess.

Among the four, Meng Lei had a better understanding of the Dragon God and knew that he was an intermediate deity. However, he knew nothing about the other three at all.

Thus, Meng Lei decided to consult Dodola. He said, “Tell me about the four great true gods, Dodola, especially the Titan Spiritual God, the Beast God, and the Fairy Goddess.”

Highly satisfied with Meng Lei's attitude, Dodola immediately broke into a smile and said, “Among the four true gods of Heaven's Vault Continent, the Dragon God is the most unbearable to behold.

“He owns only two divine incarnations and has barely reached the level of an intermediate deity. On top of that, he only has Heaven's Vault Continent as a power of faith domain, let alone anyone to back him up.”

Dodola was full of contempt for him. It said, “Among the four great true gods, he's the weakest in terms of combat prowess, owns the least territories, and is also the least influential. He's a total piece of trash!”

“Is the Dragon God that unbearable to behold?”

Meng Lei was somewhat lost for words. The Spider Goddess had made the Dragon God out to be an extremely fearsome character, yet in Dodola's eyes, he was practically worse than a piece of trash.

Oh, why was there such a huge gap between one and another?

“Duh!”

Dodola side-eyed Meng Lei.

Meng Lei then asked, “What about the Titan Spiritual God?”

“Let's talk about the Beast God first. The second weakest among the four great true gods, he's also an intermediate deity.”

With a shake of its head, Dodola said, “However, the Beast God has been a true god for a much longer time than the Dragon God. Additionally, he also rules over the power of faith domains in seven to eight existential planes.

“After such a long passage of time and under the nourishment of an endless stream of power of faith, the Beast God has come to own five divine incarnations and is considered the most top-notch intermediate deity.”

Somewhat dumbstruck, Meng Lei asked, “In other words, the Beast God needs only to progress another step further and assimilate two more types of laws of nature, and he'll be able to ascend to a higher deity?”

“That's right!”

With a nod, Dodola added, “Although this one last step is extremely difficult to achieve and may daunt the Beast God for a billion years, he is indeed only a step away from becoming a higher deity! Moreover…”

Dodola said, “The Beast God has joined the All-Beast True God Alliance. Even though the true gods in the alliance are all unsavory characters, they nonetheless still count as a force.

“With the All-Beast True God Alliance backing him up, the Beast God is much bigger of a force to reckon with than the Dragon God. You'd best think twice before you mess with him.”

“The All-Beast True God Alliance…” Meng Lei mumbled, “Do true gods also need to find strength in numbers?”

“Of course! Absolutely! It's a must!”

Dodola said affirmatively, “The Void is far more dangerous than what you can imagine. Having connections to back you up is something that's absolutely essential. You'll understand once you leave Heaven's Vault Continent and enter the Void!”

Meng Lei curled his lip disdainfully before he urged, “Go on!”

“As for the third true god—the Titan Spiritual God—even though he only owns one divine incarnation, he has awakened the Titan God bloodline. This is enough for him to rival pinnacle-level intermediate deities!”

Dodola went on. “Actually, this is also the case for the vast majority of Titan Gods. They do not cultivate laws of nature but only cultivate their divine bodies. However, their combat strength is incomparably and domineeringly powerful.”

Meng Lei, who had now gotten a better understanding, then asked in puzzlement, “What did you mean just now when you mentioned that the Titan Spiritual God owns power of faith domains in almost 100 material planes?”

“20,000 years ago, the Titan Spiritual God gained acknowledgment from the Theodore Titan Gods of the Thunderbolt Divine Realm, and was classified as a priority target of grooming.”

Dodola explained, “The power of faith domains in those 100 material planes are grooming resources that the Theodore Titan Gods had bestowed upon him.

“For the sake of controlling those material planes, the Titan Spiritual God spared no costs and went as far as to bestow substantial rewards, select Children of God, and bring them over to those planes.”

“The Theodore Titan Gods?”

A look of puzzlement came over Meng Lei's features.

“The Titan Gods are a strong and powerful race whose traces can be found all over the vast universe. They have offshoots and blood descendants in many existential planes.”

Dodola said, “Among which, the Thunderbolt Divine Realm's Theodore Titan Gods are an extremely powerful Titan God clan. They are one of the top major clans of Thunderbolt Divine Realm and control innumerable normal existential planes.”

“To bestow the Titan Spiritual God with 100 material planes in one go, the Theodore Titan Gods sure are generous!”

Meng Lei, who was having a case of sour grapes, said, “In comparison, the Dragon God is much more pitiful.”

Dodola shook its head and chuckled. “As they say, big trees provide great shade1. No matter where you go, this is a truth that will never change.”

“That's true. No matter where you go, you'll always need to pit your background against another's!” Meng Lei shook his head. Then he asked, “What about the Fairy Goddess?”

“The Fairy Goddess achieved true godhood the earliest among the four. She's also the most ancient, the strongest, and the one with the most formidable background!”

At the mention of the Fairy Goddess, Dodola became much more serious. It said, “The era during which she became a true god can be traced back to 500,000 years ago. On top of that, she also has a vast number of worshipers. She generally has worshipers in every existential plane that contains the Fairies' presence.”

Meng Lei asked, “What about her combat prowess?”

“The Fairy goddess was already a higher deity 200,000 years ago. After such a long passage of time, no matter how bad it gets, she'd also have assimilated two to three types of laws of nature by now.”

Dodola sighed. “After all, she has a wood-origin divine body, so her cultivation speed is astonishingly fast from the start. Not to mention that she also has the support of the Natural Goddesses System behind her!”

“Wood-origin divine body? The Natural Goddesses System?”

Meng Lei was rather puzzled.

“A wood-origin divine body is a type of origin divine body!”

Dodola explained, “Origin divine bodies are one of the most powerful types of divine bodies. As they are compatible with laws of nature origins, not only do the owners of such bodies have an astonishingly fast cultivation speed, but they are also incomparably strong. On top of that, they also come with all kinds of incredible Innate Special Abilities.”

“Origin divine bodies,” Meng Lei murmured.

“There are many types of origin divine bodies. The ten basic laws of nature correspond with ten different types of origin divine bodies. The Fairy Goddess' divine body is exactly a wood-origin one.”

Dodola said, “As for the Natural Goddesses System, they are one of the most influential forces of the Void, and are made up of multiple Chief Gods, tens of thousands of higher deities, and innumerable intermediate deities.

“The Fairy Goddess has a wood-origin divine body and is one of the Natural Goddesses System's priority targets of grooming. Thus, there is hope for her to attain Great Perfection.”

Meng Lei was rather astounded. “The Fairy Goddess actually comes from an even more impressive background than the Titan Spiritual God!”

“Of course!”

Dodola nodded lightly. “Disregarding the Natural Goddesses System behind the Fairy Goddess, just her own combat prowess alone is already absolutely fearsome. To her, squashing you dead is no different from squashing an ant dead!”

“That is certainly so!”

Meng Lei did not deny that.

“Of course, you're not that bad, either!”

Thinking that Meng Lei had suffered a blow because of what it had said, a smiling Dodola comforted him. It said, “Not only do you have the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline, but you've also comprehended ten types of laws of nature. As long as you cultivate according to my plan, your future achievements will definitely be above the Fairy Goddess'!”

“Your plan?”

Startled, Meng Lei asked, “What plan?”

“The plan to obtain the Dragon God Empire's faith and cultivate your divine spirit to half-deity pinnacle-level, and then split your divine spirit and light up your divine fire to become a true god, of course!”

Dodola side-eyed Meng Lei and said, “Obtaining the Dragon God Empire's faith is the first trial that I… Cough, that the great God of Time has given you. Surely you haven't forgotten about that, kid?”

Rather dissatisfied, Dodola said, “You absolutely mustn't be careless when it comes to matters about faith. You have to obtain the Dragon God Empire's faith. Three years shouldn't be too short a period, right?”

“I haven't forgotten. It's just that…”

Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he asked, “Dodola, do I absolutely have to split my divine spirit? Can't I just assimilate the laws of nature first and then light up the divine fire to achieve deification later?”

“Don't even think about it! That's impossible!”

Dodola chastised him. “What do you see laws of nature assimilation as? Playing house?

“If it were that easy, then why didn't the Dragon God assimilate them? Why didn't the Beast God assimilate them? Why didn't the many true gods in the vast universe assimilate them?”

That's because they don't have the system!

Meng Lei dissed Dodola inwardly. Then, he shrugged and said, “Would you believe me if I tell you that I've already assimilated the laws of nature—and on top of that, it isn't just one type?”

“Yeah, right, as if I will!!”

Dodola shook its head resolutely. “I'd have a screw loose in my head if I were to believe you! And more than one type at that—are you trying to kid a three-year-old here?”

“Why won't you believe me?”

Meng Lei raised his arm slightly. A bright blue thread shot out of his fingertip and weaved together to form a bright blue cage that gave off torrential power of laws of nature.

“What's that?”

Dodola was slightly taken aback. Then, a look of disbelief came over its countenance. “That's… That's f-fusion laws of nature! W-water and light fusion laws of nature!”

“That's right! It's water-light fusion laws of nature!”

Meng Lei withdrew the bright blue cage and created a pink one. Once again, Dodola was astounded. “That's… Thunder-ice fusion laws of nature!”

“That's right!”

Meng Lei nodded again. Next up was a bright brown thread.

“Metal-dark-fire fusion laws of nature!!”

Dodola was completely dumbfounded. “A fusion of three types of laws of nature!”

Then, Meng Lei did another change.

“Earth-wood-thunder!!”

Dodola was on the brink of insanity. “Oh my god! This, this… What exactly is going on? Why is this happening? How exactly did you manage to do that?”

From the string of three questions in a row, one could see the extent of Dodola's astoundment at the moment.

“Nothing is impossible in this world!”

Meng Lei shook his head lightly. He said, “As of now, I've completely assimilated wood-earth, metal-dark, water-light, and thunder-ice laws of nature, while I've also started to assimilate earth-wood-thunder and metal-dark-fire laws of nature.”

It's just a shame that I can't bear to part with the money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any problem completely assimilating earth-wood-thunder and metal-dark-fire laws of nature, too.

“Earth-wood-thunder, metal-dark-fire…”

Dodola stared at Meng Lei as though it was staring at a freak. Only after a substantially long while did it finally regain its senses, and it couldn't help but exclaim, “This isn't right! Why have you begun to develop in the direction of life laws of nature and destruction laws of nature? That won't do! Absolutely not!”

“Life laws of nature? Destruction laws of nature?”

Meng Lei looked stupefied.

“At this point, I won't leave you hanging anymore. You're simply too worrisome. If you end up being led astray someday, I won't even be in time to cry!”

Dodola took a deep breath and said, “Listen up now. What I'm about to say is very important to you. You must keep it firmly in mind!”

Meng Lei nodded heavily.

“You should know that there are a total of ten basic laws of nature in the universe and that on top of them are also many other supreme forms of laws of nature.”

Meng Lei made a sound of acknowledgment.

“Don't ask me for a concrete number of how many types of supreme laws of nature there are, because I don't know, either. The requirements for cultivating supreme laws of nature are very demanding, and on top of that, they are also extremely hard to comprehend.”

Dodola explained, “As of now, no one has ever comprehended all of the supreme laws of nature. As a result, no one knows just how many types of supreme laws of nature there are in total in the universe, even till today.”

Meng Lei's brows drew together slightly before he then understood why. This was actually very understandable.

Just like how everyone knew that there were a total of seven continents on Earth. But before the Americas, Australia, and Antarctica were discovered, who would have been able to know beforehand that there were a total of seven continents on Earth?

Evidently, the same logic applied to the supreme laws of nature, too.

A type would be discovered when one was comprehended, and two would be discovered when two were comprehended.

Before someone comprehended them, who would know of their existence?

“As of now, there are a total of five supreme laws of nature that have been discovered—destruction, life, spatial, death, and time laws of nature.”

With great pride, Dodola said, “Among which, the great God of Time was the first to discover time laws of nature, albeit just the tip of the iceberg, even for someone like him!”

“Destruction laws of nature!

“Life laws of nature!

“Death laws of nature!

“Spatial laws of nature!

“Time laws of nature!

“So, these are five great supreme laws of nature that have been discovered?” Meng Lei murmured to himself, “How does one comprehend the supreme laws of nature?”

“Very simple—you just need to assimilate five types of laws of nature.”

Dodola said very affirmatively, “When five types of laws of nature are integrated and fused into one, there'll be a chance that an all-new supreme law of nature will be created. Of course, this is just a possibility because, with ten basic types of laws of nature around, a fusion of any five random types would mean a total of 252 different combinations. However, there are currently only five combinations that can truly create supreme laws of nature.”

Dodola explained, “And these five fusion combinations are also the cultivation methods for the five supreme laws of nature that have been discovered.

“As for the other 247 combinations, they have either not yet been attempted or were unable to create supreme laws of nature.

“Among which, cultivation methods for destruction, life, death, and spatial laws of nature are widely known. There is no lack of Great Perfection true gods who have mastered these four types of laws of nature in the vast universe.

“However, no one has been able to master time laws of nature even as of now, because I'm the only one who knows the fusion combination for time laws of nature ever since the God of Time's death!”
