Priscilla pondered, "Perhaps that’s why Tai Luo has not awakened yet... That power is too strong, far exceeding his limits. If he could accept it slowly, it would be fine, but it came too fast, causing a huge burden on his soul."

Rod asked, "Then what can be done?"

Priscilla replied, "We can only wait for him to slowly adapt."

Rod’s face darkened slightly. Without the King of Bright Light, the King’s wounds cannot be healed.

As long as the King doesn’t awaken, Trolian lacks a backbone.

Worse, after the strange disaster, the strength of the Holy Fire has greatly diminished, falling back to before its first enhancement.

And all the Fuel Element and Firewood in the Royal City have been exhausted. Before the Human Demon war, the King invested all Fuel Element and Firewood into the Holy Fire, resulting in none available now.

Without enough Fuel Element and Firewood, the Holy Fire is gradually becoming dimmer.

The Royal City is making Fuel Element and Firewood with all its might, but the quantity is too small, unable to stop this trend.

The light of the fire has shrunk back to the inner city, and is still shrinking.

Once again, the Royal City turns gray.

Everyone is burning with anxiety. Jon, Qingyu, Xingge, and Evela, the four chosen of the fire, guard the Holy Fire all day, continuously injecting power into it, but they are not Guardians of the Holy Fire, do not resonate with it, and their faint power is to no avail.

Rod knew very well, if the King does not awaken, the Holy Fire is effectively without guardians, and this weakening trend cannot be halted.

"No."

After a moment of contemplation, Rod said.

"We must heal the King, Priscilla, think of a way, I will provide you all the support you need."

Priscilla’s delicate and petite face creased together, this greatest Soul Master had never felt this troubled before.

But Rod’s command she could not refuse, the King’s awakening is a top priority for Trolian.

Helplessly, she could only unite all Soul Masters, exhaust all means to heal, yet no improvement was seen.

Rod also consulted the Book of the Future and the Book of Knowledge, confirming that in this situation, [Eternal Dream] is ineffective, [Demon Dragon’s Heart] cannot solve the problem. The King’s soul has been damaged and polluted, and reconstructing life holds no meaning.

"Lord Rod."

A day later, Priscilla returned to him, her tone full of exhaustion and disappointment.

"We can’t do it, we’ve tried all means, the King’s wounds are much worse than imagined."

Rod’s heart sank; he never thought that in the prophecy where the King’s crisis was supposedly over, he could not wake.

The situation was worse than anticipated.

Helpless, he could only follow the previous experience and place the King deep in the Holy Fire, waiting for it to nourish and purify his soul.

And Iyeta, the greatest Great Prophet of a thousand years, the White Tower, the only True Divine Artifact in Trolian, their prophecies should not be wrong.

Therefore, the King should not be in danger; his awakening is just a matter of time.

Having figured this out, Rod relaxed his tense heart, but the situation had not changed. On the contrary, due to the weakening of the Holy Fire, a series of chain reactions occurred throughout Trolian.

All the Guardian Fires have become weak, the area illuminated by their light has significantly shrunk.

And the Residual Light and Residual Fire, dependent on the Guardian Fire’s existence, have also become weak, the entire Fire Domain of Trolian is waning, with dense Black Fog swiftly approaching Trolian.

Worse, due to the decrease in fire strength, all fire warriors’ combat power has swiftly declined, greatly impacting the Fire Holders.

Sword Fortress, Great Dragon City, Wind City, are under increasing pressure.

Inside Trolian, more monsters have spawned.

Defense has become heavy.

And with the weakening of the Holy Fire, it is subject to more attacks in the Spirit Realm; he and Jon, and others cannot leave for a step.

The most worrisome thing is, with the weakening of fire, all warriors’ advancement has become slow.

The Ascension Ceremony cannot be conducted.

The Book of Knowledge tells him, this is an improved Fire Ascension Ceremony, needing intense firelight.

Under weak fire conditions, it’s difficult, even if forced, chances of success are low, effects poor.

At this moment, Rod’s heart sank to the bottom, unknowingly, all paths were blocked,

Despite knowing the Holy Fire’s unparalleled importance, he still underestimated it.

What to do?

For the first time, Rod felt the breath of despair, finding no way out.

Is it only to gamble life?

Rod disregarded everything, ventured out, to find Dream Fragment, reclaim the Giant Divine Sword, ignite a new Giant Star, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

But it was too dangerous.

Nearly a matter of life and death.

But if not risk it, to just die a slow death here?

Rod’s heart was in infinite contradiction, and just at this moment, a voice emerged in his ears once again.
