Chapter 424: Destiny Laws of Nature, Lord of The Universe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Destruction Dominus sat cross-legged within an underground space of unknown depth and hovered in the middle while he quickly comprehended the destiny laws of nature. His aura was almost unchanged, but the divine spirit force he emanated was becoming stronger and more terrifying.
At the same time, his body exuded strings of elusive, erratic, and illusory aura, filling up the entire space. The gray skeleton stood in the coffin while its grayish will-o’-the-wisp blinked about, its thoughts unknown.
“Soon! You’re almost there!
“Once you’ve assimilated this bit of destiny laws of nature, you will ascend into a Supreme God. By then, you’ll be able to wipe off any unstable elements to buy time for us.
“This era is our only shot. We cannot fail no matter what…”
After an unknown amount of time, the Destruction Dominus opened his eyes suddenly. They were bottomless with glimmers of mysterious laws of nature.
“Have you succeeded?” asked the gray skeleton.
“I did it!” The Destruction Dominus nodded. “I’ve completely assimilated this bit of destiny laws of nature to step into an entirely different domain. I believe in due time, I’ll master it to become the Supreme God of Destiny!”
“Great! Destiny, order, and space-time laws of nature are the great genesis laws of nature that stood above the five supreme laws of nature. There’s nothing more superior than these laws of nature!”
The gray skeleton was delighted. “If we can obtain a cosmic embryo, you can create a complete universe. Then you can assimilate the universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe, like that legendary Primordial World Genesis God!
“Of course, there’s a universe here already. There’s no need to seek further to create another one when we can just eliminate any unstable factors here. Once this era ends and the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process arrives, assimilating this universe’s origin energy will do!”
Assimilate the universe’s origin energy!
Become the Lord of The Universe!
Match the legendary Primordial World Genesis God!
The Destruction Dominus’ eyes were scorching, while his voice contained endless murderous intent. “Meng Lei must die! And the Death Dominus, Life Dominus, Supreme God of The Underworld, and Grim Reaper King. They must all die!”
“Indeed, they must be taken down!” The gray skeleton continued. “Remember, this era is our only opportunity. If we miss this one, we’ll never make a comeback.”
“I understand!” The Destruction Dominus nodded slightly. “Carry on with your deep sleep. It’s time to finish off Meng Lei.”
“Go on then!”
The gray skeleton yawned and returned inside the coffin. The hovering coffin lid fell gently as it closed the coffin once again.
The Destruction Dominus swept a glance at the coffin before leaving the space in a flash. After more than an hour of traveling upward, he returned to the ground surface.
“Here I come, Meng Lei!”
The Destruction Dominus began to check the destiny lines to trace down Meng Lei.
Every person had their destiny, or rather, every form of life, and the existential planes had their own destinies. Destiny was like a line that kept on extending forward. Unless the lifeform died or the existential plane was destroyed, the destiny line would never stop extending.
Nevertheless, if the lifeform’s destiny line was cut off, it meant the end of its destiny, and death would follow.
Despite comprehending only parts of the destiny laws of nature, the Destruction Dominus could see the destiny lines of all lifeforms. As his gaze swept across the destiny world, densely packed destiny lines hovered around.
Some were like a sun glow that was extremely red till it was similar to purple, meaning that fortune would shine on this lifeform with ample opportunities.
Some were as precarious as a pile of eggs as if a gust of wind could break it, meaning that this lifeform was ill-fated with a lifetime of bad luck. In short, it would be a life of misery.
Of course, the destiny lines were not independent as most were intertwining with each other, meaning that these lifeforms were connected.
Although there were countless destiny lines, finding Meng Lei’s destiny line was not too difficult. Since Meng Lei was so powerful, his destiny line should be incredibly thick. Thus finding the thickest line would be the simplest option.
With that in mind, the Destruction Dominus found some of the thickest destiny lines he could. However, he discovered that none was Meng Lei’s destiny line after checking. The Destruction Dominus was flabbergasted. How was it possible that he could not find Meng Lei’s destiny line?
He continued searching.
After half a day had gone, nothing turned up.
However, the Destruction Dominus saw a wall. It was incredibly tall and majestic, spanning across the destiny world to occupy half of the space, making it hard to ignore.
The Destruction Dominus had seen the wall when he entered the destiny world, but he did not think much of it or even treat it as a destiny line. The wall was too huge and thick—how could it be a destiny line?
The search continued as the Destruction Dominus checked through every line, finding the destiny lines of the Death Dominus, Life Dominus, Supreme God of The Underworld, and Grim Reaper King. Yet, Meng Lei’s destiny line was still nowhere to be found.
“Does this fellow not have a destiny?” The Destruction Dominus was going mad when he noticed that the great wall was moving toward him. The Destruction Dominus was startled. “This wall can move too? What’s going on?”
Just as the Destruction Dominus was dazed, the wall finally reached him and intertwined with his destiny line. While hovering before the wall, the Destruction Dominus realized that his destiny line was like a firefly in front of the sun.
There was no comparability between the two at all!
The intertwining of destiny lines meant the crossing of paths between two lifeforms. A jolt went through the Destruction Dominus as he seemed to think up something. “P-perhaps—”
“Destruction Dominus, what are you standing around here for? Are you waiting here knowing that I’m coming?” A mocking voice rang.
This voice!!
The Destruction Dominus left the destiny world immediately while returning to reality.
“Y-you… You…”
The Destruction Dominus pointed at Meng Lei with an extremely complicated expression. It was like a mix of terror and shock that affected his articulation.
“What’s the matter?”
Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.
“Meng Lei!”
The Destruction Dominus calmed down as he glared at Meng Lei with an intent to kill that had never been so intense. “Today, you’ll die! You must die!”
“Kill me? Just you?” Meng Lei shook his head with a smile as he mocked, “It’s not that I’m underestimating you, but you’re certainly just inferior to me.”
“Die!”
The Destruction Dominus bellowed as a punch shot out. Mysterious laws of nature aura burst off the fist while the punch blasted onto Meng Lei heavily.
Amazingly, the punch neither caused any spatial fluctuations nor expressed any form of might. Meng Lei did not dodge it either, as if the punch did not exist.
However, Meng Lei felt the brunt of the strike. Although it was not lethal, he could sense that he was weakened slightly. He could not explain how he was weakened, but it was the fact.
“What kind of attack is this?”
Meng Lei looked at the Destruction Dominus with eyes full of disbelief. Ever since he had manifested his Primordial World Body, no one could harm him at all.
Yet, the Destruction Dominus did just that with a mysterious power.
How could Meng Lei possibly not be startled?
“You bastard!”
Disbelief was also written on the Destruction Dominus’ face. He realized that his attack that was imbued with the power of destiny could not even move his destiny. Accurately speaking, it did shake a little, meaning that the wall representing Meng Lei’s destiny did shake a little.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
“Darn it! How can your destiny be so powerful to such an extent?”
Despite controlling a bit of the power of destiny, it was only a little bit after all. Meng Lei’s destiny was like a wall that was impossible to kill. Even if he had the perseverance of the Foolish Old Man who removed the mountains1, he still could not move such a great wall.
“Destiny? Is this the power of destiny?” Meng Lei’s eyes lit up while he asked intensely, “You’ve controlled the destiny laws of nature?”
“So what if it’s true?”
If Meng Lei asked him before that punch, the Destruction Dominus would have been proud of himself. The destiny laws of nature was one of the genesis laws of nature that were superior to supreme laws of nature. Controlling part of it meant that he had stepped into the level of Supreme Gods.
How impressive was that?
However, the Destruction Dominus could not lift his spirits anymore now…
“Destiny laws of nature! You’ve actually comprehended it!”
The Life Dominus was shocked as she looked at the Destruction Dominus in disbelief. The Death Dominus was not surprised as he said gravely, “Disaryl is an ancient fossil that survived the previous era. I think it’s only normal for him to comprehend the destiny laws of nature.”
“The previous era?” The Life Dominus was taken aback.
“The destiny laws of nature! Haha! Thanks, Destruction Dominus!”
Meng Lei laughed out loud with undisguised delight and excitement in his laughter. “Moro, you’ve told me that there would be a surprise for me the next time I meet the three Juggernauts. Is this the one?”
“You’ve guessed it right!” Moro smiled and said. “When you were fighting the three Juggernauts, I sensed a familiar aura from the Destruction Dominus. After close observations, I realized that I knew this fellow from the previous era!”
“You mean he’s an ancient freak like you from the previous era?” Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.
“No! It’s different.” Moro shook his head. “He appeared suddenly toward the end of the previous era. Plus, he was already at the level of a Great Perfection Supreme God. If it weren’t for my friend and me, this fellow’s scheme would have succeeded!”
“Scheme? What kind of scheme?”
A look of puzzlement came over Meng Lei’s features.
“The plot to assimilate the universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe!”
Moro said slowly, “The Lord of The Universe, as its name suggests, is the master of a universe. Legend has it that once you’ve become that, you’ll match the legendary Primordial World Genesis God and truly transcend the universe. You will also be unaffected by the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process!
“Plus, you can even control the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process!”
