The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1487 - 713: Igniting the Giant Star
The only way is to stay away from Trolian and venture deep into the dark to kill powerful monsters.
However, this method is too inefficient; the divine essence obtained from killing monsters that do not pose a direct threat to humans is minimal, and there is danger, causing him to lose the divine essence he gained in the Royal City, making it even more unworthy of the effort.
If it weren’t for this situation, he wouldn’t bother with whatever crap method the Great Book Library uses to record history. That crowd of record keepers is like dog shit; he wouldn’t even want to touch them.
The only remaining method to obtain divine essence is to assist Bossivale in elevating the talents within the Royal City.
This is also his primary method at present. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Ever since the king set the grand goal of ascending twenty monarchs, the entire Royal City has been swept into a frenzy.
Cultivation and improvement have become the main theme, nothing can compare to them.
Even commoners who haven’t ignited their Soul Fire are passionate about discussing this matter, and those with the opportunity to undergo the Fire Trial are even more enthusiastic, resulting in training courses claiming guaranteed passage through the trial.
They claim to have mastered Bossivale’s top-secret technique, and by following their teachings, one can ensure their soul is ignited by the flame, becoming a proud Fire Holder.
Clearly, this is deceitful.
Regarding the Fire Trial, the only way to increase success rates is to ensure the purity of the soul and enhance the power of the Holy Fire.
Beyond this, there is no other method.
The Internal Affairs Court also sensed the trend, fully cracking down, already arresting many people, and through interrogation, aside from greedy individuals, there were even Doomsday believers hidden among them. Their training methods could lead to soul corruption and even pollute the Soul Fire.
Judgment Chief Lucian immediately began a thorough investigation. Now, he has already entered the ranks of Commanders. The Source Law of "Eye of the Heart" can directly perceive the fluctuations in soul thoughts, making it very useful for lie detection and identifying those with ulterior motives.
Following the clues, another group of Doomsday believers was caught, but the trail ended there.
In the current situation, those who can still become Doomsday believers are extremely radical individuals. As Rod would say, they are like crystal powder after purification; their will is terrifyingly strong, leading only to fight to the death or suicide, leaving no live captures.
However, the dark line laid by Judgment Chief Lucian—Manolo Bana, who was dismissed as the Great Judge—has already made contact with the Doomsday believers. It is believed he will soon infiltrate, finding the traces of Ancient Evil Thought.
Rod is indifferent to this operation; in his eyes, that guy is no different from a bug. If he dares to rebel, a single finger would crush him. If he can really make great contributions and help Rod find and kill Ake, he might consider forgiving his past misdeeds.
Failure isn’t a big deal either. Rod’s perspective has changed now. The pursuit of Ancient Evil Thought is no longer the focal point; the strength of Trolian is paramount. Anyway, he has the double agent Asa; whatever tricks Ancient Evil Thought plays can’t hide from him.
As long as one is strong, external disturbances are not to be feared.
Helping more strong people to ascend is his main goal now.
Fortunately, the Book of the Future soon awakened from its slumber; it needed to digest Destiny Energy again through frequent use of Destiny Abilities.
Having further mastered destiny power, its prediction ability over personnel has significantly improved. Often, at the start of the day, it would decide all the candidates and sequences for that day, even replacing part of Bossivale’s work by selecting cultivation and enhancement plans for specific personnel.
This undoubtedly brought great assistance to Bossivale, enhancing the cultivation efficiency of the talents further. Almost every day, hundreds of people achieve promotion.
The number of high-ranking combatants soared dramatically, the combat evaluation rating system of the Royal City collapsed directly, all complicated procedures were streamlined; as long as the Spiritual Power Level met the standard, promotion could be obtained immediately.
From afar, the entire Royal City formed a gigantic Spiritual Power vortex, even the ocean of spiritual energy at the deepest part of the world tilted slightly towards here.
Of course, the greater reason for this was that the King had broken the chains suppressing them, greatly releasing everyone’s potential.
The True King is a towering Protector, carving out a grand path to ascend for Trolian.
What is even more incredible is that with the birth of the True King, the Holy Fire became more powerful, and everyone bathed in the Holy Fire saw their cultivation speed further enhance.
Additionally, using the True King’s relics to make Divine Potions, Pure Star Source Potion, Soul Potions made from Holy White Tree Fruit, the speed of warriors’ power enhancement reached an unimaginable level.
As Bossivale put it, it was like a long-repressed volcano erupting.
Under such circumstances, Jon and Qingyu successfully completed the Monarch ceremony, becoming the seventh and eighth monarchs of Trolian.
Subsequently, with Rod’s help, Peibela and the Red Queen completed a special Time ceremony.
The core of the ceremony was the Source Material "Time Stone" Rod had previously acquired.
The birth of these two monarchs brought Rod 100 points of divine essence.
Not as much as imagined, mainly because they were already very close to Monarch Level.
And the powerful Pure Star Source Potion and Divine Potion, he had already gained divine essence from them.
Thus, the ninth and tenth monarchs of Trolian were born.
Rod is also very close to 2500 divine essence.
That little gap was already closed when he opened his eyes the next day.
Source Energy operation, Divine Essence +26
Divine Essence from Dream Envoy Mephit, +11
Divine Essence from Dream Envoys Annabe, Kashan, Frank, Molly, +9
Divine Essence from other Dream Envoys, +3
Total Divine Essence: 2541
——
At this moment, a wave of ecstasy surged in Rod’s chest, like a big piece of honey released in his heart, flowing through his blood to his limbs.
The Book of Knowledge shouted excitedly, "Master, Master, we have enough divine essence! We can ignite the Giant Star!"
The puppet also appeared very excited, but its tone remained flat, "Master, this will be your most important step."
The Book of the Future flapped its pages excitedly, knowing its master’s power was its guarantee of the future. After Asa’s influence, it had already set its target to merge the Past Book and Present Book, control all Destiny Energy, and become King of Destiny, thus preventing a future where no relief can be found.
Asa, too, was very excited; if the master couldn’t become a god, how could he become the King of Devouring Waste?
Rod forced himself to calm down, moving to the Dream Realm, asking, "Book, is the Dream Realm safe now?"
The Book of Knowledge replied excitedly, "Very safe, we have moved far from the Demon Wilderness, currently at the central area between Demon Wilderness and City of Calamity, about a week away from arriving at City of Calamity. Such blank areas are like voids, an empty place without any material or spirituality, rest assured."
Rod nodded, glancing at the Star Tower.
It was repaired yesterday, but to preserve divine essence, he didn’t awaken the Star Soul.
Indeed.
It’s time to ignite the Giant Star.
Rod took big strides, walking towards the Obelisk.
The first step to ignition is Source Ascension.
He placed his hands on the Obelisk, two clusters of white mist appeared before his eyes.
The feedback from the Dream Realm told him the upper cluster of white mist is special Source Ascension; with 10 pieces of Strong Source and 1 Colorful Dream, it can ascend to produce one Root Origin.
The lower cluster of white mist is regular Source Ascension; 25 pieces of Strong Source are required to ascend to produce one Root Origin.
This type of ascension is much simpler than the King’s ascension. However, this Root Origin is not one imprinted in the soul, it doesn’t directly bring Rod the power of Root Origin, but requires investment into the stars, star enhancement, and awakening the Star Soul to gain the same power.
Thus, it is a pathway different from the King, belonging solely to Rod.
Rod took a deep breath and decisively chose the upper method, investing 10 pieces of Strong Source and 1 Colorful Dream into the Obelisk.
The Obelisk quieted down.
In Rod’s perception, it seemed isolated from the world, all interactions with it halted.
An indescribable force emanated from the Obelisk.
It is so mysterious, distant, and profound, like it turned into a cosmic void in an instant.
He stood before this boundless abyss, gazing towards the unnameable darkness.
BOOM!
