Picking Up Attributes From Today - Chapter 392

A Chief God… was not to be humiliated.

That was the consensus among all deities. It was not just because Chief Gods were the most powerful beings in the universe—they represented the status of the highest order.

As for Supreme Great Perfection deities, the only existences that could rival Chief Gods and enjoyed the same status, they were secretly regarded to be superior over Chief Gods among the deities.

After all, the deities were somewhat indignant toward Chief Gods, who were the lucky few. Everything that they possessed currently was all due to luck.

The Supreme Great Perfection deities were completely different. They ground their way toward the power they possessed with their talent and hard work, proving their capabilities.

Hence, a Supreme Great Perfection deity… was not to be humiliated even more.

Provoking a Chief God… deserved death!

Provoking a Supreme Great Perfection deity… deserved death even more so.

The Nidhogg Chief God understood this point very well. Thus after guessing that Meng Lei might be a Supreme Great Perfection deity, his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

“Provoking a Supreme Great Perfection deity, he got what he deserved indeed!”

With that said, he turned around. He knew that he was only a lesser Chief God who could not harm a Supreme Great Perfection deity. Rather than humiliating himself, he would prefer to retreat for now.

A Chief God thought highly of their pride.

Meng Lei gazed at him from the back and did not say anything else. Though he was not afraid of the Nidhogg Chief God, he was not confident that he could kill him.

Moreover, in his own existential plane, a Chief God could utilize the Power of Existential Plane, making them extremely difficult to kill.

Since that was the case, Meng Lei did not obstruct the departure.

“He’s gone!”

“The Nidhogg Chief God has descended!”

“Master has won! He’s won!”

“Hooray! Long live our Master!”

“Long live our Master…”

As they watched the Nidhogg Chief God leave, Puhaman and the others were delirious with joy. They surrounded Meng Lei and cheered in pure excitement.

At this moment, they were the most euphoric ones. If their Master was a Chief God, it meant that they could cozy up to someone powerful enough to do whatever they wanted.

Who wouldn’t be jubilant?

Who wouldn’t be euphoric?

Who wouldn’t be worked up over it?

“Go now, recover the divine cores and carcasses. I shall begin the extraction of this mine,” Meng Lei said dispassionately.

“Yes, Master!”

Puhaman and the others complied, and they worked to collect the divine cores and dead bodies.

Other than them, the rest of the deities had not survived.

Although most deities were crushed to powder or turned into a bloody mist, their divine cores and spatial rings were intact.

These were all treasures.

“Next up, this Divinity Crystal mine!”

Meng Lei gazed at the undulating mountains with a shrewd glint in his eyes. A mine with a reserve of a trillion tons, which possibly contained 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.

10,000 trillion!

That was an enormous sum of wealth.

As long as he extracted all of these Divinity Crystals, he could buy credit for two supreme laws of nature and become an existence comparable to a higher Chief God!

A higher Chief God…

The more Meng Lei thought about it, the more agitated he became. His divine cognition spread out instantly and shrouded the entire Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, continuing beneath the ground.

It continued all the way 300,000 feet underground before Meng Lei finally detected the presence of Divinity Crystals. He immediately activated an Innate Special Ability—Teleportation.

Whoosh!

A large piece of Divinity Crystal disappeared from underground. By the time it reappeared, it was in the skies.

It was a red crystal that was more than 50 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, like a towering fire dragon hovering in the air. The crystal reflected a fiery red glow in the sunlight, bright and dazzling.

“The Divinity Crystal ore!”

Puhaman and the rest turned their heads to the crystal as astonishment filled their eyes. How did their master extract such a huge ore in a matter of seconds?

That was too impressive!

However, once the thought that their master was a Chief God sprung into their minds, they were able to reconcile themselves with the idea. A Chief God was omnipotent after all.

“Collect them all, system!”

Meng Lei suppressed his excitement as he gave a prompt command.

Whoosh!

A strange, great force appeared in thin air and engulfed the entire ore. In the very next second, the enormous ore vanished.

At the same time, Meng Lei’s Wealth value skyrocketed at an insane speed, stopping only after a dozen seconds.

“Haha!”

“Hahaha!”

“Hahahaha”

Meng Lei stared at that massive figure, no longer able to contain his excitement and agitation. He laughed loudly into the sky. His laughter was like a clap of rolling thunder that reverberated throughout the sky.

(⊙o⊙)?

“What’s the matter with Master?”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and gazed at Meng Lei with puzzled expressions.

Emery Philmore went closer to Puhaman and asked softly, “Big Brother Puhaman, what’s going on with our lord?”

“Delight, I suppose!” Puhaman gave a couple of dry coughs. “Every time our Chief God is happy, he’ll laugh in this manner. You’ll get used to it!”

“Get used to it?”

Emery Philmore perked up. “Big Brother Puhaman, do I really have a chance to get used to it? What if our Lord couldn’t care less about me?”

Anxiety overcame Emery Philmore. After knowing that Meng Lei was a Chief God, Emery was shocked, horrified, dumbstruck, in awe…

Now, all he desired was to join them and become Meng Lei’s follower.

How honorable would it be to be a follower of a Chief God?”

He was only a normal higher deity—no authority, power, Divinity Crystals, nor the capability—a nobody in the Earth Divine Realm.

If he could become Meng Lei’s follower, his status would undergo a tremendous change. He would leap into a bigshot instantly.

Hence, he wanted to be part of the team, only afraid that Meng Lei would look down on him.

Emery Philmore was very anxious about it.

“There are still opportunities. It’s all up to how you perform.” Puhaman feigned a deep voice.

Emery Philmore had been a deity for ages. How could he not understand the meaning of Puhaman’s words. He quickly took out a spatial ring and offered it up sincerely. “Big Brother Puhaman, this is just a little gift to show my gratitude!”

Puhaman released his divine cognition to take a peek inside.

What the!? So many Divinity Crystals!

He handled the spatial ring with an indifferent expression and said. “We are all friends. How can I take this?”

“Big Brother Puhaman, it’s just a small token of appreciation!” Emery Philmore smirked.

His gratitude satisfied Puhaman. He smiled and said, “Although Master is a man with power beyond your imagination, an elegant man, an aristocratic-looking and handsome man, a man of great talent, a knowledgeable man, an eloquent person who have chapter and verse at his tongue’s tip, a man with colossal strength… he is actually a down to earth person!

“As long as you offer your loyalty and serve Master whole-heartedly, Master will consider keeping you by his side…”

As an experienced person, Puhaman instructed in earnest.

Emery Philmore listened to the advice modestly, as if listening to this speech benefited more than studying for ten years.

Just as one of them was warming up to his speech while the other was listening modestly, a shrill whiz rang out. A dazzling spark pierced through the air and almost blinded everyone on the scene.

In the next moment, violent shockwaves blasted off. Puhaman and Emery Philmore felt an immense force crashing into them, crushing them instantly.

Then… There was nothing else.
