Picking Up Attributes From Today - Chapter 377
Chapter 377: Immortal Essence, Power of Genesis
The conversation with Moro had a great impact on Meng Lei. Once upon a time, he had always thought that becoming a god would mean immortality.
However, even existences far above like a Chief God would only live till the end of an era. Once the reincarnation cycle ended, and the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process restarted, even a Chief God would be finished.
Immortality?
Eternal life?
It’s all a joke!
“Divinity Crystals! I need more Divinity Crystals!” Meng Lei clenched his fists. “Only with enough Divinity Crystals can I comprehend the supreme laws of nature or even the Genesis laws of nature. Only then I might be able to survive the destruction of the universe.”
Divinity Crystals!
Meng Lei let out a long breath as he looked at Moro again. “What are your plans? Are you going to follow this guy all the way?”
Meng Lei glanced at the unconscious Dowa Caesar with some disagreement.
“Why? You want to take me away?”
Moro raised an eyebrow with a ghost of a smile.
“You won’t have a future following him.”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly.
“Future? I’m only barely alive. What future can I have?” Moro gave a self-mocking smile. “If I knew then that I’d turn out like this, I would rather be buried with the last era!”
“There’s a saying back home, ‘To live is better than to die’.” Meng Lei laughed. “Plus, so what if it’s a remnant soul? There will always be a way to restore it.”
“You don’t even understand!” Moro shook his head. “Without enough immortal essence, my remnant soul will never be restored!”
“Immortal essence?”
Meng Lei broke into a slight frown.
“Do you know what’s that? That’s a kind of substance that will never decay, get destroyed, and not even the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process can erase it.” Moro said slowly, “Across the entire universe, there are only three types of immortal essence that I know of, the three great powers of genesis. Yes, the powers relating to the three great genesis laws of nature.”
Meng Lei fell silent.
The three great powers of genesis are part of the immortal essence?
Now isn’t this too difficult to obtain?
“So you can imagine how rare and precious the immortal essence is.” Moro continued self-mockingly. “Therefore, I’m destined to never restore my soul!”
“Indeed, the immortal essence is extremely rare. But, there’s still a chance.” Meng Lei suddenly smiled. “Once I comprehended the genesis laws of nature, wouldn’t I possess the immortal essence by then?”
“You? Comprehend the… genesis laws of nature?”
Moro clutched his belly as if he had just heard a superb joke and laughed out loud for quite a while. When he had enough laughing, he cut his smile.
“You? The genesis laws of nature? Are you an idiot sent by a monkey?
“So you’re looking down on me?”
Meng Lei smiled.
“Stop joking. If it’s those four Supreme Juggernauts who have already comprehended one supreme laws of nature, I might believe them. After all, they do have hope for the genesis laws of nature. As for you…”
Moro sneered. “Forget it!”
“What if I tell you that I had comprehended the spatial, destruction, and life laws of nature? Though it’s just superficial knowledge for now.”
Meng Lei chuckled.
“Gah…”
Moro was in a daze as he looked at Meng Lei. “Kid, you sure you’re not joking?”
“Where’s the need to?”
Meng Lei laughed softly and opened his right palm. Three laws of nature chains appeared in his palms—a gray one, a purple one, and a green one.
Gasp!
A jolt went through Moro as his eyes widened, and he stared at Meng Lei as if he had seen a ghost. “S-spatial laws of nature! Destruction laws of nature! Life laws of nature! You really comprehended the three great supreme laws of nature!”
“Not three, it’s four, there’s still the time-based laws of nature,” Meng Lei corrected.
“Ah yes, four! Oh gosh! How could someone manage to simultaneously comprehend four great laws of nature? How is that even possible? This is too inconceivable!”
Moro was frightened. He gasped and looked at Meng Lei as if he was a monster.
“Okay, okay, stop gasping already. This is nothing,” said Meng Lei. “Once I completely comprehended the genesis laws of nature, you can be excited all you want, okay?”
“Oh, you don’t understand, young fellow.”
As an existence that stood at the very pinnacle once, Moro calmed down soon enough.
He looked at Meng Lei with a complicated look and explained, “The supreme laws of nature are extremely complex and profound. This makes them really difficult to comprehend.
“Don’t mention comprehending one supreme laws of nature for a normal deity since they don’t even have the talent to comprehend five basic laws of nature. These things require lots of talent, after all!
“One type of supreme laws of nature is already so difficult, let alone four types? Who knows how you managed to do it!”
“Hehe, that’s just talent, nothing else,” Meng Lei said in a showy manner.
“Indeed! This is true talent!”
Moro nodded slightly and continued. “Still, I just couldn’t get over the fact that you comprehended four types of supreme laws of nature. It’s simply too wasteful of your time. An era may seem long, but when it compares to comprehending the supreme laws of nature relatively, it’s still too short.
“I’ll suggest that you choose two among the four. Either you choose time and space for the route of space-time laws of nature or choose life and destruction towards the destiny laws of nature.
“If you were able to comprehend a type of supreme laws of nature before the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process, you should be thankful already!”
“You don’t have to worry about this.” Meng Lei had a confident smile. “I won’t give up any of the three great genesis laws of nature. My target is to become the legendary Primordial World Genesis God!”
“You’ll regret it, young fellow.”
Moro was rather displeased, but as he thought back on his relations with Meng Lei, his anger was suppressed. Still, he reminded, “Coming from experience, I don’t want to see you waste your talent like this. Just do as I say, and you’ll thank me later.”
“Perhaps!”
Meng Lei was not too hung up over it, so he returned to the previous topic. “Now tell me your plan. Are you continuing with him or coming with me?”
Meng Lei would not care about any other ordinary beings, but the person before him was different. That was an old antique that had survived that previous era! His experience, cultivation knowledge, comprehension in laws of nature…
That’s a treasure right there.
He had to bring him along.
This time, Moro did not reject directly as he fell silent.
“Why? Still hesitant?” Meng Lei raised an eyebrow. “You should know clearly that there’s no future if you follow this hopeless chap.”
“And that means following you has a brighter future?” Moro asked with a bored voice.
“Of course!” Meng Lei gave him a proud smile. “I am confident that I can completely comprehend the time-based laws of nature within ten years and all four supreme laws of nature within 100 years.”
Moro was startled and could not help but laugh. “Kid, what do you treat the supreme laws of nature as? Elementary school multiplication table? Ten years to comprehend time-based laws of nature? I’ll say you’ll be good enough when you fully comprehend it in ten million years!”
“Ten million years? That is way too long.”
Meng Lei laughed. “You might not believe what I’m about to say, but I’m not even 45 years old yet!”
(⊙_⊙)?
Moro was dazed. “45 years old?”
“Hehe, you can ask around if you like.”
