The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1486 - 713: Igniting the Giant Star (Second Update)
Tesrivian Calendar, year 1326, ninth month, end of the 71st week.
Fire Day. π§πππππ«π·π€πΏππ‘.ππ€πΆ
The first clock hour of noon, the sixth interval.
The first True King in Troliβs history was born.
He broke the chains of the Black Fog in the Sea of Source, lifting the blockade and suppression of Source Power possessed by all living beings.
Humanity thus stepped into a new stage.
ββ High Rank Scholar of the Great Book Library, Sedao
There are hundreds of such records, describing the grand event of that day from various angles, and including many Recording Crystals.
These precious records are properly placed in the Great Book Library, where they will persist forever as the continuation of Troli, marking the presence of human civilization.
However, even during such an exciting time, thereβs always someone who jumps out to stir trouble.
Rod repeatedly pointed out that Recording Crystals could at most preserve information for a few decades, as the Spiritual Energy within the crystals would continue to decay, eventually causing information loss, and the paper on which the words are recorded would also rot over time.
One of the reasons why Troliβs history has experienced several interruptions is partly due to this.
The best way is to engrave the words on stone, then solidify them with Spiritual Energy, which could ensure that they remain unchanged for billions of years.
However, the scholars of the Great Book Library are arrogant and conceited, blind to advice, and instead, they mocked Rod for knowing nothing and giving random suggestions, which infuriated Rod greatly.
Fortunately, he is no longer the little shrimp he once was; just one sentence from him, and Horus imposed a maximum penalty on them without a second thought for disrespecting the "Black Barrel," and the pressure from within the Jinwoosi Society was even more terrifying.
Most of the grand scholars are on good terms with Rod and are displeased with the arrogant attitude of the Great Book Libraryβs scholars.
Once these grand scholars, who hold tremendous prestige in academia, oppose them, their reputation becomes tarnished, which these library scholars, who claim to be recorders of history, most value.
They quickly compromised and began recording reforms based on Rodβs suggestions.
It must be said, after these changes, Rodβs methods turned out to be truly effective. The engraved words on stone give an inexplicable sense of weight and security, and if the stone is aged, it can present a high-level sense of history, much stronger than thin paper.
Consequently, this method quickly became popular in the Great Book Library, and the Royal City even allocated extra funds for purchasing stones and warehouses for storing them.
However, despite Rodβs victory, he was not happy.
Because the "crime of disrespecting the Black Barrel" had been legislated by the First Elder Amendo through the Supreme Council; anyone in Troli who committed this offense would be locked in the Black Barrel for reflection.
Rod looked melancholily at the golden words before him.
Assist the continuation of civilization, Divinity +10
Luckily, this matter brought him some Divinity, otherwise, it would have been a total loss.
These days, Rod has been completely immersed in acquiring Divinity.
Everything he does is to acquire Divinity, and the first thing he does when he opens his eyes every day is to check how much Divinity he needs to ignite the Giant Star.
The second thing is to think about how he can gain more Divinity.
It must be said that this task has now become very difficult, and most of the previous methods are no longer effective.
The expansion of Troli has been completed, and internally there are no threatening monsters.
The Black Fog Wall operates smoothly, and the Star Marrow Altar only needs to consume a few thousand Spiritual Crystals and Spirituality daily to maintain its operation.
The priest in charge of maintaining the altar informs him that after inserting the second Divine Artifact, the efficiency of the Star Marrow Altar has greatly increased, reducing resource consumption by as much as thirty percent.
If more Divine Artifacts can be found, the efficiency of the Star Marrow Altar will further increase.
But finding the seven sub-gods who created the altar and seizing their Divine Artifacts is clearly a task impossible to achieve at this stage.
Troliβs surroundings also have essentially no threats.
The First Defense Chief Dalin has organized defenses extremely smoothly, with the patrol team and watchtower mechanisms inside and outside the Black Fog Wall already established, ensuring no slip-ups.
The four "Gate" cities are built as impenetrable fortresses.
Wandering monsters gather from outside the Black Fog, and in areas of absolute human advantage, they are slaughtered with corpses everywhere, without any ability to fight back.
For the first time, humans thus slaughtered monsters unilaterally with absolute superiority.
So, Rod basically has no chance to gain Divinity from this aspect.
Almost all of Troliβs internal relics have been excavated by him single-handedly; exploring external relics is firstly inefficient, and secondly, it requires consuming some Destiny Energy. Since the Book of the Future has shown its value, Rod has decided to reserve all Destiny Energy for it.
This choice is not worthwhile.
The only profitable thing for him is the development of Asdara Towerβs remnants.
Although this Giant Tower has completely lost its power, there are still many precious materials in its remnants, such as the meditation room made from True Silver and Star Marrow, which can create an environment where the soul can meditate more efficiently, being moved back to the Royal City the moment it was excavated.
Provide rare resources, enhance overall power of Orderer, Divinity +25
But thatβs all; Rod finds it difficult to obtain Divinity from battles and resources.
