Chapter 307: Primordial Green Dragon, Cerberus

Fall a bit short of a higher deity’s level?

That’s fine, though. I still have Super Enhancement.

Meng Lei remained relaxed and asked the system immediately.

“Ding! Host’s Physical Body Constitution is infinitely close to a higher deity and will become a higher deity after Super Enhancement. Super Enhancement price: 3,000,000 Divinity Crystals!”

“3,000,000 Divinity Crystals?”

Meng Lei was agitated instantly. “Wasn’t my infinitely close to a higher deity? Why do I still need so many Divinity Crystals? Is this a robbery?”

The system went silent and simply did not reply, as if saying, “If you’re not going to enhance, then forget it.”

“Enhance for what? All these Divinity Crystals are enough for me to use Super Pickup 30,000 times. I just don’t believe that there will be nothing good from so many chances!”

Meng Lei began to use a second Super Pickup.

“Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane.”

I’ve already picked up twice in the Celestial Realm, time to go somewhere else.

“Forest Divine Realm!”

Whoosh!

100 Divinity Crystals were gone.

After a dozen seconds, the cold voice of the system rang again.

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Primordial Green Dragon’s Egg!”

“Primordial Green Dragon’s egg?

Meng Lei was stunned. After becoming true gods, the Colossal Dragon Gods would become the Colossal Ancient Dragon, higher up would be the Colossal Ancient Dragon King that leveled lesser deities, up another level at intermediate deity would be the Colossal Primordial Dragon.

The Primordial Green Dragon here meant that it was an intermediate deity with fearsome capabilities.

However, the egg was not very useful for Meng Lei currently, so he sent it to the Tower of Time to hatch without a second thought.

“Let’s continue with the pickups, system!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained Natural Goddess’ underwear! Will you wear it?”

“Why would I f*cking wear that, you disgusting b*stard of a system! Can you be more serious here? My Divinity Crystals aren’t here to be wasted like this!”

Meng Lei yelled.

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a drop of Wood Bat’s blood essence. Will you assimilate it?”

“A Wood Bat? No way I’ll assimilate that!”

A shiver went through Meng Lei as his face turned pale.

Who knows if this thing harbors viruses?

Assimilate?

Do you want to die?

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a spatial ring!”

“Spatial ring?”

Meng Lei’s eyes lit up as he quickly checked the spatial ring. It was a pity that the owner was clearly not a tycoon. The ring was likely from an ordinary deity from the Forest Divine Realm.

Still, even the most ordinary of deities were deities of the Forest Divine Realm with decent riches.

A pair of Divinity Crystals, loads of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, a few low-tier divine weapons, some divine cores, and other miscellaneous items...

“Collect the Divinity Crystals!”

“Collect the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!”

Whoosh!

His wealth grew by 20,000 Divinity Crystals.

Even though it was not a lot, whatever was spent just now had been earned back.

It felt fantastic!

“Let’s continue with the pickups, system!”

“Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane.”

“Still the Forest Divine Realm!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract! Will you assimilate it?”

“Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract? Not bad, assimilate!”

After assimilating this Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract, Meng Lei’s divine spirit was strengthened further from an elementary-level to an intermediate-level intermediate deity.

“Carry on!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained an Omega Divine Ape’s carcass!”

“Dodola, what kind of divine beast is the Omega Divine Ape?”

“Omega Divine Ape? That’s a rather impressive divine beast. An adult could tear apart intermediate deities alive, belonging to a pinnacle-level intermediate divine beast!”

“Pinnacle-level intermediate divine beast?”

Meng Lei was a little disappointed, but it was better than nothing. He promptly released the Omega Divine Ape’s carcass and started to absorb its life essence.

Gurgle~

Huge amounts of life essence surged into the body as warm currents filled his body as if he was soaked in 70°C hot spring water.

“Come on! Hope this can help me breakthrough to a higher deity level in one go!” Meng Lei encouraged himself.

The Omega Divine Ape’s carcass dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye as Meng Lei’s divine body was somewhat strengthened.

Yet... he still could not break through to become a higher deity. Meng Lei was a little disappointed, and he could only carry on with the pickups.

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Soul Ice Marrow droplet. Will you assimilate it?”

“Soul Ice Marrow droplet? Keep it first!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragment. Will you assimilate it?”

“Yes, assimilate it!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a higher deity’s Divine Core. Will you assimilate it?”

“Higher deity’s divine core? Nope!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Ninth Heaven Elderwood Beast’s cub!”

“Dodola, what kind of beast god is the Ninth Heaven Elderwood Beast?”

“The Ninth Heaven Elderwood Beast is an extremely rare thunder-elemental and wood-elemental divine beast. It’s born as a half-deity and becomes a higher deity when they’re adults.”

“Nice stuff, I’ll raise it first!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Mystic Ginseng!”

“Mystic Ginseng is an extremely valuable divine medicine that could revive the dead and grow flesh on bones[1], whereby even if a higher deity was heavily injured, one Mystic Ginseng would be enough to heal it!”

“Nice! Keep that!”

“Ding! Pickup successful...”

For the next twenty pickups in the Forest Divine Realm, there were plenty of treasures. However, there was nothing that could help Meng Lei break through to become a higher deity.

He had no choice but to change the target existential plane.

Meng Lei locked in the Netherworld.

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Fallen Angel bloodline. Will you assimilate it?”

“No, don’t assimilate it.”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Necromancer’s Spiritual Core. Will you assimilate it?”

“Necromancer? Spiritual core? What are those?”

“Necromancers are higher netherworld beings that level half-deities at birth, and they will become higher deity level as adults!”

Dodola continued explaining. “The spirit core is the core of the Necromancers, similar to divine cores of the various deities and demonic cores of demons, basically divine cores.”

“I see.”

The pressure generated from this spirit core was terrifying, similar to the higher deity’s divine core, meaning it should be a higher spirit core.

A higher spirit core’s value must be shockingly high. As long as it was assimilated, Meng Lei could leap toward becoming a higher deity, but he did not want to risk his future.

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Cerberus cub!”

“Cerberus... cub?”

With a thought, a cute little puppy appeared in front of Meng Lei. It looked like a month-old husky, cute and chubby.

It was a pity that it was shrouded in black-red flames with incredibly high temperatures. Any normal person who got close would be burnt into ashes!

“What a nice little dog!”

Meng Lei liked this little guy at first sight as he could not resist patting its furry head.

However, in the next moment...

Woof!

The puppy bit Meng Lei’s hand and growled at Meng Lei, obviously showing its unwillingness to let Meng Lei pet its head.

“That’s pretty fierce!”

Meng Lei smiled and lifted the puppy by its neck. “Isn’t this a Cerberus? Why is there only one head?”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The little dog bared its teeth and barked at Meng Lei as it would not listen to Meng Lei at all. Meng Lei did not mind as he brought out a bone.

Woof?

The puppy’s attention was caught immediately. It stared at the bone and drooled all over the ground. What was the difference between this and the normal dogs in Meng Lei’s house in his previous life?

“I guess no matter what kind of dog they are, they all love bones. Now I know how to deal with you!”
