Chapter 376: The Previous Era, Genesis Laws of Nature

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon activation, the Grim Reaper’s Eye started to furiously devour Moro’s remnant soul. Something amazing then occurred at this point.

The ever-victorious Grim Reaper’s Eye had actually run into a wall! No matter how it tried, it simply couldn’t do anything about the remnant soul standing in front of it!

This shocked Meng Lei!

His divine spirit was already comparable to a lesser Chief God’s, and his Grim Reaper’s Eye had already been enhanced to an ultimate-grade special ability.

Moreover, the Grim Reaper bloodline in his body had also been enhanced to become the Grim Reaper King bloodline.

There were few in the vast universe under such circumstances who could resist the Grim Reaper’s Eye’s devouring power, let alone a mere remnant soul.

And yet, this guy currently standing in front of him had somehow managed to!

“Who exactly are you?” Meng Lei narrowed his eyes and asked seriously.

“I told you, you can’t kill me.” Moro shook his head and chuckled. “Stop those pointless actions of yours. In any case, it’s nothing but just futile efforts.”

“Futile efforts? Aren’t you being overconfident here?”

Meng Lei snorted lightly and ordered, “System, plunder that guy’s memories. I want to know who he is!”

“Ding! Target Item: Moro’s memories. Plunder Target: Moro’s remnant soul. Plundering cost is estimated at 100 trillion Divinity Crystals.”

The system asked coldly, “Will you plunder it?”

“100 trillion Divinity Crystals?”

Meng Lei almost broke into expletives.

I’ve only managed to gather 100-odd trillion Divinity Crystals after going through so much trouble and pain, yet now I have to pay 100 trillion Divinity Crystals just to plunder a remnant soul’s memories? Is there any justice in this world?

“System, what exactly is that guy? Why does it cost so much to plunder his memories?” asked a puzzled Meng Lei.

However, the system didn’t even make a peep in response.

“...”

Meng Lei was rendered speechless at once.

“Leave, young Ancient God.” Moro spoke again. “You can’t kill me, but neither can I do anything about you. Besides, there are no feuds between the two of us. There’s no need for us to fight to the death.”

“I certainly can’t kill you.” Meng Lei was awfully displeased. “But it doesn’t mean that I can’t do anything about you!”

“Oh?”

Moro raised an eyebrow.

“Mysterious Ice of The Depths!”

Meng Lei uttered five words. At once, a tricolored icy current shot out of his fingers and enveloped Moro before freezing him into a large ice lump.

“Even if I can’t kill you, do you think I can’t trap you?”

Meng Lei let out a cold snort. As he watched Moro’s remnant soul that had been sealed within the Mysterious Ice of The Depths, he said, “Since I’ve already discovered your existence, then you can forget abou—”

Before Meng Lei could even finish, Moro, who had been sealed in ice, suddenly transformed into a cloud of black smoke, darted out of the tricolored ice lump, and reappeared in front of Meng Lei.

“Mysterious Ice of The Depths! Tsk, to think you can use the Frost Gods’ Innate Special Ability. How unexpected!”

Moro watched Meng Lei with a big smile, clicking his tongue in wonder as he remarked, “What a mysterious little fellow! I’ve suddenly taken a huge interest in you!”

“...”

Meng Lei took a deep breath and launched another of his special abilities. “Netherworld Divine Fire!”

A tricolored burst of flames burst forth and manifested into a fireball that trapped Moro within. Before long, Moro darted out of it again, however.

“First Grim Reaper’s Eye, then Mysterious Ice of The Depths, and now Netherworld Divine Fire!”

The way Moro was watching Meng Lei had changed. He said, “If my senses aren’t deceiving me, you also own three great origin divine bodies—a metal-origin divine body, a wood-origin divine body, and a thunder-origin divine body—at the same time. What kind of mutant are you, exactly? Why do you have so many abilities all gathered in one place?”

“You’re the mutant! Your entire family are mutants!”

Meng Lei was going rather crazy. He said, “Grim Reaper’s Eye is useless on you, and neither do you fear Mysterious Ice of The Depths or Netherworld Divine Fire. I want to know who you are exactly?”

“I told you,” Moro replied leisurely, “My divine spirit has already gone through the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process’ purification and has become immortal and indestructible. Your ways are ineffective on me!”

“What’s effective on you, then?” asked a vexed Meng Lei.

“Genesis laws of nature.” Moro shook his head and said, “In this whole wide world, only genesis laws of nature, which are equipped with the power to create a world, can destroy my remnant soul and thoroughly kill me.”

“Genesis laws of nature?”

Meng Lei was stunned. “What are genesis laws of nature?”

“They are primordial laws of nature that create the universe. There are three types in total—space-time laws of nature that dominate the top, bottom, and all four other directions and the flow of time from the past to the present; destiny laws of nature that controls the birth, existence, and death of all things in the world; and order laws of nature that maintains the universe’s balance.”

Moro said dispassionately, “These three great genesis laws of nature come together to form the whole universe and are also the basis and foundation of the vast universe. Only genesis laws of nature can erase my immortal divine spirit.”

“Genesis laws of nature...” Meng Lei murmured under his breath.

“Little fellow, because you’ve already comprehended time-based laws of nature, there’s certainly a chance that you may also comprehend space-time laws of nature. Of course, it’s just a very tiny little chance.”

Moro went on and said, “Space-time laws of nature include two different parts—time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature. When you’ve 100% comprehended these two supreme laws of nature and merged them into one, you’ll be able to comprehend space-time laws of nature.

“As for now...”

Moro shook his head and said, “You’d better just concentrate on properly comprehending time-based laws of nature instead. Your level of comprehension with regard to time-based laws of nature is simply too poor!”

“Is it that terrible? You must understand that I’m the one and only person to have comprehended time-based laws of nature in this whole wide world!” retorted a somewhat displeased Meng Lei.

“Is that so? In that case, lifeforms from your era sure are inferior!”

Moro chuckled and said, “The current era looks like it’s already almost half-gone, yet it has only just birthed someone that can comprehend time-based laws of nature? How lousy! Lousy, indeed!”

“You’ve been mentioning the word ‘era’. What exactly is an ‘era’?” asked a frowning Meng Lei.

“Trees go through summer and winter, and people go through aging, weakening, and death.”

Moro said dispassionately, “There’s an end to the lives of all things in this world, and the universe itself is no exception.

“Every certain period, the universe will die out and be reborn—this is reincarnation. Every reincarnation cycle is an era.”

“You’re someone from the previous era?!”

A jolt went through Meng Lei, and he couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.

“That’s right.”

Moro gave him a dispassionate smile and said, “Thus, you’re no different from a little fellow in my eyes—or rather, all the living things in your era are little fellows to me.”

“So you’re that kind of old fart!”

Meng Lei clicked his tongue in wonder. Then, he suddenly looked Moro up and down and wondered aloud curiously, “Given how your remnant soul alone is already this powerful, how strong were you during your prime?”

“Hah, that’s a secret!”

The corners of Moro’s lips quirked upward.

Pooh!

Meng Lei curled his lip disdainfully and said, “I’ll rephrase this, then—what class of lifeform must one be in order to survive the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process like you?”

“What a quick-witted little fellow!”

Moro shook his head and smiled as he replied, “The Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process is the end of the whole universe. Even the high-end existential planes that you think are eternal and immortal will also be destroyed, and all lives in the universe have to die.

“That’s what a real disaster is.”

Moro’s voice became low and deep as he said, “Watching helplessly as existential planes crumble, dissipate, and turn into energy torrents; watching masses of lifeforms die out in an instant; watching lifeforms at the pinnacle of the power pyramid fleeing in a panic before ultimately being utterly destroyed amid their despair... These are enough to make one break down!”

Meng Lei felt his throat going dry and parched from Moro’s words. He asked, “So, what class of lifeform must one be in order to survive the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process and become immortal like you?”

“Immortal?”

Moro said mockingly, “Can this even be considered ‘immortality’? It’s just dragging out an ignoble existence at best!”

Meng Lei listened quietly and waited for his follow-up.

“As of now, I’ve not seen any lifeform that can truly safely survive the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process. Perhaps only the legendary Primordial World Genesis Gods are able to,” said Moro sorrowfully.

“The Primordial World Genesis Gods?” Meng Lei quickly asked, “What class are these lifeforms?”
