The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1558 - 738: Above God (Part 2)

In this light, it truly seems that fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

But after overcoming this catastrophe, the King will no longer be threatened, which is ultimately a good thing.

As his soul strengthens, the limits of the Source Heavenly God Throne continue to increase.

After breaking through to the True King, the Source Heavenly God Throne reached new heights, allowing the King to vaguely sense the torrent of destiny. Humanity’s fate is like an endless river, rushing forth from the end of time toward a boundless future, and the Source Heavenly God Throne can directly influence it, correcting the turbulent currents, and blocking the destruction of rocks.

Of course, the pressure of doing so is immense, and the King cannot use it frequently.

"Young Rod, I’ve used it like this before,"

the King said pensively.

"But at that time, I couldn’t perceive the torrents of fate and fortune; I just instinctively used this ability on Trolian, hoping it would lead Trolian to a better path."

Da Lin said softly, "Perhaps because of this, so many geniuses were born in Trolian."

Amendo said in a deep voice, "Especially you, Rod."

Rod scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, not knowing when, the First Elder had become his staunch supporter.

Professor Barrett sighed, "Looking back now, our growth truly is a miracle. In these short few decades, we achieved such a leap in development. Even three years ago, I couldn’t imagine Trolian would reach such a strong position."

Da Lin smiled, "At that time, even hoping for a Monarch Level beyond a single King was extravagant, but now, I believe in the near future, Trolian will have more than twenty Monarchs."

The King said calmly, "Our current achievements are due to the efforts of each and every one of us, not because of me. The Source Heavenly God Throne’s ability has its limits and cannot directly bring us a beautiful new world. Only through our power can a splendid new world be realized."

Professor Bins nodded, "I agree with the King’s viewpoint. Trolian’s rise is influenced by multiple factors. According to Sir Bossivale’s description, many talents have also emerged in Saint Reel, though not as many as ours."

Rod took this time to carefully consider his words and asked cautiously,

"King, some special creations I used before seem somewhat similar to your abilities."

No one noted the peculiarity of his words and offered various possible explanations.

Only the King’s expression changed briefly, as he keenly lifted his head and, in the sight of the True King, saw invisible ripples spreading. Although subtle, this was evidently the source feedback from the Black Fog.

Despite being so concealed, it still triggered the source feedback of the Black Fog.

The King immediately silenced everyone with a grave tone.

"Enough, do not discuss this further. The Sea of Source is vast, and with broken laws filling it, forming any kind of source is possible. This should not surprise us."

Despite saying this, Rod clearly sensed the unusual look in the King’s eyes, understanding in an instant that this topic could not be discussed further, lest it bring about a terrifying catastrophe.

Though no answer was provided, just making the King aware of this matter was quite a considerable gain.

With the King’s wisdom, much did not need to be explicitly stated for him to know what to do.

Rod was confident that he would receive more assistance from the King in the future.

"What a pity,"

the King sighed, bringing the topic back.

"I couldn’t comprehend the secrets of the Source Heavenly God Throne earlier, otherwise, our rise could have been sooner. Even now, there are many secrets within the Source Heavenly God Throne I am yet to understand, such as... I only just discovered it can heal itself after breaking."

Soul Master Priscilla patted the King’s arm, "Don’t move, I’m going to repair this part of the soul now."

The King smiled, "I apologize, Priscilla, for troubling you again."

Priscilla’s tone was quite impatient.

"What’s troublesome and what’s not? I used to be an idiot, spending my days researching inconsequential matters. Then, suddenly, one day, it was like a window opened in my soul, and I awoke from dullness and numbness. The profound knowledge and mysterious souls were no longer unreachable in my eyes. A few years later, I became the most outstanding Soul Master in Trolian, undoubtedly due to the influence of your Source Heavenly God Throne."

Her hands covered in bright light, she operated like a scalpel upon the King’s soul, cutting away the pollution and rot, seamlessly stitching the fractures.

"Without you, there’d be no me. Healing your soul is something I should do."

Da Lin looked at her hands with some concern and whispered, "Maybe let Horus handle it instead..."

"Shut up!"

Priscilla scolded without politeness.

"Horus is the King of Bright Light, his healing ability is better than mine, but no one understands the King’s soul better than I do. His soul surgery can only be performed by me."

The King smiled, "Of course, Priscilla, I have never doubted that."

"Then don’t move!"

The King cleared his throat awkwardly, and could only change the topic, "Young Rod, how are the arrangements in Great Dragon City coming along?"

Rod briefly recounted everything he had done to the King.

After listening, everyone was quite astonished, as Rod’s arrangements were flawless, almost too perfect, and they hadn’t expected him to have such capabilities.

Da Lin suddenly sighed, "Pity you are not a King Candidate, without the Eternal Burning Fire."

The King smiled, "As a Hidden Fire Wielder, he also has the authority to influence important affairs in Trolian."

A gleam flashed through the cloudy eyes of Amendo, as if a new idea was forming.

At this moment, the King’s expression turned solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice, "The invasion of the Blood God has ended, and we have defeated the Blood God, but the disaster is not over. The words spoken by the Blood God’s soul in its final moments, you should all remember."

Everyone’s expressions turned grave, except for Professor Bins, who remained indifferent. He recited the passage.

"...not a glimmer of hope, the Black Fog shall sweep in once more, this world will inevitably be submerged."

The King voiced the pivotal question troubling everyone:

"After we defeated the Blood God, his conscious mind still spoke those words. Does this suggest a possibility that within the Black Fog, there exists something more terrifying than the Ancient Gods?"

No one spoke; they couldn’t fathom what could be more powerful than the Ancient Gods.

But everything suggests that the Ancient Gods are not the supreme tier; above them lies something even more terrifying.

And Rod, in this regard, understands more than they do.

The most evident indication is that within the divinity acquired, slaying an Ancient God provided only 500 points of divinity, meaning if the Ancient God caused no direct or indirect threat to humanity, defeating it only grants 500 points of divinity.

Yet, the soul of the Blood God contained 2800 points of divinity in itself.

Clearly, slaying an Ancient God does not drastically weaken the Dark World.

The infinite darkness and corruption accumulated over millennia far outweighs a fallen True God.

More importantly, there’s a further note, "Assist in breaking an undescribable Divine Envoy, divinity +400."

This ’undescribable’, evidently refers to the Supreme Will, whose Divine Envoy was directly destroyed by Alan, while Rod’s role was only a small, insignificant part.

Yet, even this minor role was worth 400 points of divinity.

By this logic, the existence of the Supreme Will is much stronger than the God of Contaminated Blood; otherwise, such a gain in divinity cannot be explained.

Additionally, Rod gradually learned of certain terrifying existences in various secrets, such as the source of the Mysterious Shadow, the Ancestor of Mysterious Shadows, and the Human Demon, the source of the Black Fog Demon, the Supreme Demon Lord Tristan, and the source of malevolent thoughts, the Supreme Will.

As one of the four True Gods in the final stages of the Ancient Epoch, the God of Contaminated Blood never appeared in any secretive revelations, and before its awakening, it caused no known impacts on humanity. No terrifying presence is linked to it.

It is hard to imagine that the Supreme Will, Ancestor of Strange Shadows, and Tristan are of the same level.

But then.

Above gods, what exists?

This was the lingering question haunting everyone’s mind.

At this instant, the King spoke, "I have an idea."
