Chapter 281: Monstrous New Functions, Ancient God Bloodline

An excited Meng Lei urged, “System, hurry and tell me more about these three functions!”

“Super Pickup: Picks up dropped items from designated existential planes, including but not limited to Divinity Crystals, Bloodlines, Laws of Nature Fragments, Divine Cores…” The system stated coldly, “This is a chargeable function and costs 100 Divinity Crystals per attempt.”

“Pick up dropped items from designated existential planes?”

Meng Lei’s eyes lit up a little as he asked, “Is this an improved version of Limitless Pickup? What does ‘designated existential planes’ mean? Do I get to specify the existential plane?”

“That’s right, host,” replied the system. Then it added, “By using this function, the host may pick up dropped items from any existential plane designated by the host.”

“I get to designate the existential plane? That’s just insane!”

Meng Lei’s spirits were rather roused up.

Limitless Pickup was a random pickup function. Just how many existential planes were there in the vast universe?

Billions! The rate of picking up something good was too low when one could only do random pickups from so many existential planes out there.

However, he could designate a specific existential plane as the pickup location instead with the new function. Now, that made the function way more monstrous!

If he designated the location as the Thunderbolt Divine Realm, then he would be able to pick up dropped items from the Thunderbolt Divine Realm;

If he designated the location as the Earth Divine Realm, then he would be able to pick up dropped items from the Earth Divine Realm!

If he designated the location as the Celestial Realm, then he would be able to pick up dropped items from the Celestial Realm!

Even if he were to temporarily put aside the issue of whether or not he could pick up decent dropped items, at least he definitely wouldn’t be seeing things like Anna the barmaid’s panties, a Fairy’s bra, and other kinds of eyesores anymore.

“This function is certainly powerful, but the price…” Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. The price was certainly very ridiculous, too.

100 Divinity Crystals was the equivalent of 1,000,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. This meant that using Super Pickup once would cost him 1,000,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals—this was as many as one million times the cost of using Limitless Pickup!

How could the word “expensive” even cut it?

Meng Lei asked, “What about Super Plunder?”

“Super Plunder: Plunders anything from designated existential planes, including but not limited to Divinity Crystals, Bloodlines, Laws of Nature Fragments, Divine Cores…” The system stated coldly, “The cost of using the function depends on how powerful and how rare the target of plunder and object of plunder are.”

“As expected, it’s also an improved function, this time of Brutal Plunder.”

An excited Meng Lei exclaimed, “To think it can actually plunder anything from designated existential planes! It’s pretty terrifying once you think carefully about it—this means that I can even plunder a Chief God’s divine core if I so wish?”

“Yes, it’s possible, host,” replied the system emotionlessly.

True enough!

Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. This particular function was simply too monstrous—it could even plunder a Chief God’s divine core! This was practically… too frightening!

However, Meng Lei knew without even asking that the cost of plundering a Chief God divine core from a chief god must undoubtedly be an astronomical sum, way beyond what he could even imagine. It wasn’t something that he could plunder so easily.

“System, tell me about Super Enhancement.”

Meng Lei was full of anticipation. Since the previous two functions hadn’t disappointed, then the last one couldn’t possibly be a bad one, either.

“Super Enhancement: Enhances any object in the host’s possession, including but not limited to Physical Body Constitution, Spirit, Bloodlines, Divine Cores, Divine Weapons…” The system stated coldly, “The cost of using this function depends on the object of enhancement’s grade.”

“This function sounds pretty good, too!”

Meng Lei’s eyes were sparkling. He asked, “Can the function enhance even bloodlines, system?”

“Yes, it can.”

“If I want to enhance my bloodline, what would happen after the bloodline has been enhanced?”

The system replied, “The bloodline will upgrade by one grade each time the function is used to enhance it.”

“Upgrade by one grade?” Meng Lei was rather confused. “What does that mean?”

“Dear host, bloodlines are classified into different grades,” The system explained, “They are respectively the Mundane Bloodlines, Saint Domain Bloodlines, Half-Deity Bloodlines, True God Bloodlines, Ancient God Bloodlines, Supreme Bloodlines, and the Genesis Bloodlines.

“It is possible for the host to improve a bloodline’s grade through the use of Super Enhancement. For example, the host may enhance a Mundane Bloodline into a Saint Domain Bloodline, or a Saint Domain Bloodline into a Half-Deity Bloodline.”

The system’s explanation was an eye-opener for Meng Lei.

He wasn’t surprised at the fact that bloodlines had a difference in grades. After all, this was simply too common an occurrence.

Some races—such as humans—were born mundane and would remain mundane if they didn’t cultivate.

Some races were born Saint Domains and would naturally become Saint Domain existences once they become of age, such as the Golden Behemoths, the Golden Colossal Dragons, and the Golden Dragon-Lions.

And some races were born half-deities the moment they came into the world, such as the Gods-Slaying Rats.

Therefore, it was very normal for there to be grade classifications in bloodlines. Instead, what had astonished Meng Lei was the latter three types of bloodlines—the Ancient God Bloodlines, the Supreme Bloodlines, and the Genesis Bloodlines.

A frowning and puzzled Meng Lei asked, “System, what does ‘Ancient God’ mean?”

“Ancient Gods are known as Pseudo-Chief Gods. The term refers to Great Perfection higher deities that have comprehended supreme Laws of Nature.”

The system explained, “Although Ancient Gods do not have Chief God Divine Cores, because they have comprehended supreme laws of nature, they nevertheless still possess extremely powerful combat power and are able to contend against Chief Gods.

“Additionally, the deeper an Ancient God’s comprehension of the supreme Laws of Nature was, the stronger their combat power would be. When an Ancient God perfectly comprehends a form of supreme Laws of Nature, they’ll be able to contend against the strongest Chief God.”

Realization dawned upon Meng Lei. As it turned out, the term “Ancient God” referred to Great Perfection higher deities that had comprehended supreme laws of nature.

Going by that definition, the God of Time that had comprehended time-based laws of nature could also be referred to as an Ancient God. Despite not possessing a Chief God divine core, he nevertheless could still contend against a Chief God.

How impressive!

What was the Supreme Bloodline that came next in line, though?

And the Genesis Bloodline, too—what the heck was that?

“Dear host, above the Chief Gods stand the Supreme Gods of The Universe, and above the Supreme Gods stand the Primordial World Genesis Gods. These terms are commonly abbreviated to Supreme Gods and Genesis Gods,” explained the system.

Supreme Gods of The Universe!

Primordial World Genesis Gods!

Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. The Chief Gods were already the most supreme and the highest form of godhood among the deities. They were the universally-acknowledged king of all gods, yet the Supreme Gods and Genesis Gods were actually even more powerful than the Chief Gods?

In that case, how powerful must they be?

Meng Lei was astounded by the new knowledge. He felt even more keenly just how tiny and insignificant an existence he was. The current Meng Lei was just a tiny little intermediate deity, let alone a Supreme God or a Genesis God.

He was ridiculously weak!

“I’m still young, though. I have loads of time to improve myself. Besides, I also have the system. I believe that I’ll definitely achieve considerable heights in the future!”

Then, Meng Lei asked, “System, what grades do the bloodlines currently in my body belong to?”

“Dear host, you currently have a total of four bloodlines in your body. Among them, the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline, the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline, and the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline are classified as True God Bloodlines,” replied the system, “Whereas the Primordial Human bloodline is one grade higher and classified as an Ancient God Bloodline.”

“I expected that of the first three types.”

Meng Lei nodded lightly. After all, as long as the Gods-Slaying Rats, the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes, and the Hundred-Armed Giants could survive and become of age, they would be able to contend against higher deities. That firmly made them True God Bloodlines. On top of that, they were even extremely powerful presences among the True God Bloodlines.

What had surprised Meng Lei was instead the Primordial Human bloodline. It was actually an Ancient God Bloodline!

“Wouldn’t that mean that as long as I can awaken the Primordial Human bloodline to 100%, I’ll become an Ancient God capable of contending against a Chief God once I naturally come of age?

“Oh my goodness! How terrifying!”

Meng Lei was fairly shocked. However, he also knew that the more powerful a bloodline was, the harder it would be for him to buy credit for it.

At the moment, he had only awakened 16% of his Primordial Human bloodline. Should he intend to buy credit and boost it to 100%, he would need a total of 8.4 billion Divinity Crystals!

8.4 billion!

He wouldn’t even be worth that much money even if he sold himself off!

Meng Lei inquired, “System, how much would it cost to enhance my Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline?”

“Ding! The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline is classified as a powerful True God Bloodline and will become an Ancient God Bloodline after enhancement. The enhancement cost is estimated at 10 billion Divinity Crystals.”

“Take it that I didn’t ask!”

Meng Lei rolled his eyes. Then, he asked, “System, how much would it cost to enhance my divine spirit?”

“Dear host, your divine spirit is currently at pinnacle-grade lesser deity level and will reach an intermediate deity’s level after enhancement. The enhancement cost is estimated at 100,000 Divinity Crystals.”

“100,000 Divinity Crystals? That’s still pretty expensive, but at least it’s somewhat within an acceptable range. What about Physical Body Constitution enhancement?”

“…”

“Can divine weapons also be enhanced?”

“…”

“How much would it cost to enhance the Gods-Slaying Spear?”

“Dear host, the Gods-Slaying Spear is a mid-tier divine weapon and will become a high-tier divine weapon after enhancement…”
