Chapter 279: Dividing and Enfeoffing Existential Planes, Creating a God System

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

48 material planes!

This was such a huge fortune!

Take the four great true gods, for example, with the most ancient Fairy Goddess left out.

The Beast God had only seven or eight power of faith domains as a peak intermediate deity.

The Titan Spiritual God also had only five or six power of faith domains before being granted more by the Theodore Titan Gods of the Thunderbolt Divine Realm.

On the other hand, the Dragon God was the weakest intermediate deity of the four, and he had only the Dragon God Empire as his power of faith domain.

How poor was that?

From this, one could easily imagine that the 48 material planes were such a massive windfall!

If all these material planes were converted into Meng Lei’s power of faith domain, how massive would the power of faith be?

“Cyrus really got some dumb luck!”

Meng Lei wondered, Cyrus only emerged recently and met an unclaimed existential plane, if that wasn’t dumb luck, what was it?

Compared to Cyrus, the Dragon God should be crying. Why was there such a huge difference between dragons?

Meng Lei carried on reading Cyrus’ memory. He expected to see massive memories from Cyrus, a powerful Demon God that had been around for tens of thousands of years.

However, it was the complete opposite!

Cyrus’ actual memories were few since it was sleeping most of the time.

In other words, Cyrus spent most of its time in slumber and rarely woke up.

“Such a lazy dragon!”

Still, Meng Lei managed to find some useful information from the limited memories.

For example, the details of the 48 material planes, the exact location of the 48 Heart of the Existential Plane...

“After refining the Heart of the Existential Plane, I’ll be able to exert total control over the entire existential plane. Every tree, every river, every brick will all be under my control!”

Meng Lei could not wait any longer to try it out as he followed Cyrus’ memory and found the Heart of the Existential Plane of the Demonic Dragon Continent.

After that, he went into a vibrant, colorful world where laws of nature in the shape of chains covered the entire continent.

The silver Thunder-elemental laws of nature!

The red Fire-elemental laws of nature!

The blue Water-elemental laws of nature!

The golden Metal-elemental laws of nature!

...

Ten types of basic laws of nature formed a densely packed web, filling the colorful world. In the center of this colorful web floated a multicolored rhombus-shaped crystal.

It was iridescent and dazzling.

The ten laws of nature seemed to extend out from this colorful crystal. At the same time, the crystal seemed to be the heart of this colorful world.

“This is the Heart of the Existential Plane!”

Meng Lei sized up the crystal from top to bottom. He was rather curious since it was his first time seeing a Heart of the Existential Plane.

Having examined enough, Meng Lei released his divine cognition, which shrouded the Heart of the Existential Plane.

At that instant, Meng Lei could feel that his divine cognition permeated through the entire Demonic Dragon Continent.

Every single thing in the Demonic Dragon Continent appeared in Meng Lei’s mind.

Every speck of grass growing, every cry of a bird, every sleeping little demon... They were all reflected in his mind!

It was a fascinating experience for Meng Lei, similar to when he had refined and obtained the Tower of Time!

After some examination, Meng Lei discovered something surprising as the Demonic Dragon Continent’s existential plane was quite different from Heaven’s Vault Continent.

Heaven’s Vault Continent was surrounded by vast, endless oceans which occupied more than half of the existential plane. The continent itself was just a small portion.

As for the Demonic Dragon Continent’s existential plane, it had no oceans as it was covered with land. The center of the existential plane had countless rivers and lakes, so water sources were still abundant.

If Heaven’s Vault Continent was like Earth, then the Demonic Dragon Continent was like Mars. One was mainly made up of oceans, while the other was mainly made up of land.

Both were completely different!

“Since the entire existential plane was made up of land, the soil is much more extensive, thus giving birth to more intelligent species.

“It’s just a pity that they were all killed by Cyrus, and Cyrus’ demon army occupied the vast land. The continent then became a paradise for demons!”

Meng Lei learned from Cyrus’ memory that the Demonic Dragon Continent and the other 47 material planes gave birth to many unique species.

The tragic thing was that ever since Cyrus’ rise, every living thing in these material planes was completely erased by the demons. Demons then occupied these 48 material planes, becoming the only creatures to roam the lands.

“That’s ruthless!”

Meng Lei was appalled as he started to refine the Heart of the Existential Plane of the Demonic Dragon Continent. It was quite easy to refine since it had no consciousness.

Meng Lei left his divine spirit mark in it within a few minutes and completed the refinement process.

In an instant, Meng Lei felt that he was the Demonic Dragon Continent existential plane, and the existential plane was him.

If he had the will, he could change anything in this existential plane. He could make mountains float, reverse the river flows, make a forest wither, and could also kill every demon within the material plane!

Everything... with just a thought!

Of course, there was also the Power of Existential Plane.

“So that’s how this power works! The Power of Existential Plane is... just ridiculous!”

Meng Lei sensed everything in the Demonic Dragon Continent. If he battled Cyrus now, Meng Lei was confident that he could suppress it with just a flip of his hands.

The Power of Existential Plane in the material level was too fearsome; suppressing an intermediate deity was just a small matter!

At the same time, Meng Lei was glad that he could teleport. Once the Power of Existential Plane controlled him, then he would have no chance to make a comeback.

“It’s just tragic for Cyrus to meet me. If it was someone else, who could rival it?”

Meng Lei smiled and shook his head as he teleported out of the space that held the Heart of the Existential Plane.

At this timing, Bubbles and the rest had finished dividing the loot as everyone was satisfied with what they got.

“Greetings Master!”

The subordinates greeted excitedly.

Meng Lei smiled and asked, “All done?”

“Thank you for your generosity, Master. We have finished dividing the loot!” Bubbles and the rest bowed, their eyes filled with gratitude.

As lesser deities, it was already difficult to subdue Demon Lords, not to mention Great Demon Lords!

Don’t even think about it!

Yet now, they did it. How could they not feel grateful from the bottom of their heart?

“Now, let’s talk about some proper matters. Cyrus had a total of 48 material planes.” Meng Lei said, “I won’t be able to manage all of them, so I have decided to divide and enfeoff these existential planes to you and help me manage!”

“Enfeoff them to us?”

Everyone was stunned.

“Indeed, I’m planning to divide these existential planes among all of you to manage and spread your faith. Yes, spread your faith!”

Meng Lei smiled again. “I’ve calculated, everyone can get around three to four existential planes on average. You all should be able to accumulate massive power of divinity with them.”

Since they had assimilated divine cores to become deities, it would be difficult for Bubbles and the rest to advance further in their cultivations. Their only route to advance was to assimilate divine cores of higher levels.

Meng Lei did not have any of those divine cores for the time being. Thus, they were not going to think about advancing for some time.

Would spreading faith be useless to them? The answer was negative!

The power of faith would always be useful to every deity, even if they became deities through the assimilation of divine cores.

Suppose there were three to four existential planes as the deity’s power of faith domains. The deity would be able to gather massive amounts of power of faith that could be converted into the power of divinity or strengthen the divine spirit! Hence there were many benefits!

After all, for any deities, the amount of power of divinity and the strength of divine spirit would always determine the combat power of deities! Hence, the power of faith was very important!

The question was, was Meng Lei really willing to enfeoff all 48 existential planes to them? That was 48 existential planes, after all!

It just sounded unbelievable to them.

“There’s no need to doubt.” Meng Lei smiled faintly. “I’m planning to create a god system. After that, all of you will become true gods under my command!”

“Creating a god system?!”

A huge jolt went through everyone.

A god system was a closely linked combination of deities. It was similar to a nation or family where they were closely connected.

A god system would consist of a Lord of Gods and a bunch of true gods under it. The Lord of Gods not only ruled the god system, but it would also be prioritized to enjoy the power of faith—the power of faith collected by each true god would be shared equally between the Lord of Gods and the true god.

Thus, it was evident that the god system was a strict hierarchy, which differed greatly from alliances like the deity alliance.

“We stand by your decision, Master!”

Bubbles and the others naturally didn’t have any objections to that.

They were already Meng Lei’s servants. Even if Meng Lei decided to seize all the power of faith of the 48 existential planes for himself, they would not dare to say anything.

All the more, Meng Lei was going to split these existential planes among them, make them gods under him, and enjoy half of the power of faith!

That was simply an enormous act of kindness bestowed upon them!

“Let’s go then! Accompany me to explore other existential planes,” Meng Lei said faintly.

“Yes, Master!”
