Saint Longde had once captured an intact evil soul, and through destructive soul searching, they had long known that the primary mission engraved within the soul of the ancient evil was to destroy the Source Heavenly God’s throne.

Such a miracle actually existed in Troli.

But he was severely injured, lying dormant within the Holy Fire.

Rod told him that if their guess was correct, the one who severely injured the King should be the creator of the Human Demon, the ultimate origin of all bizarre disasters, a powerful entity known as the Ancestor of the Mysterious.

After they severely injured the Human Demon, the projection of the Ancestor of the Mysterious appeared in the sky. In just an instant, it almost extinguished the Holy Fire and severely injured the King. If Rod hadn’t used special means, Troli would have been long destroyed.

Rhein widened his eyes, looking at Rod with a new perspective.

In his understanding, the Ancestor of the Mysterious was absolutely a true god, an existence surpassing the Ancient Gods. Even just its phantom was immensely powerful, yet Rod actually had the means to counter such a terrifying existence.

If Rod were a strong figure of the Primordial, that would be one thing, but he was just a Half King. In Saint Longde, not being of the Primordial meant not being considered a top-tier powerhouse (of course, he was an exception, possessing two complete Root Origins).

If he were a Third Rank Half King, that would be another story, but Rod hadn’t even stepped into the first stage and hadn’t mastered even ten parts of the Root Origin. How could he repel a True God’s phantom?

Rod coughed lightly and explained, "This is one of my Fire Spark abilities, which can only be used once every thousand years."

"A thousand years?"

Unknowingly, Rhein’s voice had become hoarse.

"What exactly is this ability? Why have we never heard of it? Saint Longde has recorded over a million abilities born from fragments of Source Law and Source Law itself, but none like this."

Of course, Rod couldn’t mention the name of "Sacrifice," so he vaguely said, "I don’t know either, but it gives me just such inspiration. After using it, it extinguished."

Rhein’s expression became extremely complicated. Rod’s ability was something even Saint Longde deeply desired. If they had found Troli a bit earlier, although the Human Demon was a Source-level Ancient God, it wasn’t lethal to Saint Longde. Even if it was the most terrifying phantom, if the Holy Emperor and Lord Solos joined forces, they might have been able to stop it.

Rod saw the regret in Rhein’s eyes, but there were some things he couldn’t say out loud. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In Royeger’s prophecy, the Human Demon was also catastrophic to Saint Longde; it wasn’t just impossible to kill, but its soul contained terrifying corruption. Without "Sacrifice," "Shadow Eye," "Eternal Statue," "Eternal Dream," the ashes of the Red War God, the Archbishop’s sacrifice, and the desperate battle of countless powerhouses in Troli, they couldn’t have defeated the Human Demon.

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge suddenly said, "In Royeger’s judgment, what exactly is the fatal threat of the Human Demon to Saint Longde and Yanuo? Although the power of the Human Demon is strong, it shouldn’t be enough to threaten them. Is it the projection of the Mysterious Shadow, the immortal core of the Human Demon, or that uncleanable corrupt humanity?"

This question, except for Royeger himself, no one can answer, so Rod could only speculate.

"Perhaps, it’s the corrupt humanity. You see, in the soul of the Human Demon, there are over 900 trillion parts of corrupt humanity. If it weren’t for the Dark Devourer reaping its soul, if so much pollution erupted, the entire kingdom might be submerged."

The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages, agreeing, "Master, you’re right. You’re indeed a soul of supreme wisdom, just like me. This might be why Royeger considered you the only hope to save the world."

Rod suddenly became aware.

Yes, could this be why he changed his mind and shifted his commitment to Troli?

But he didn’t have the time to think deeply. No matter what, Royeger was already gone, and he was sprinting down the path of the Dream Realm. The most important thing now was to guard Troli, preserve the Holy Fire, wait for Saint Longde’s support, and see if they had any means to save the King.

After a long silence, Rhein finally accepted the fact, sighing softly, "I really didn’t expect Troli to give me such a huge surprise. It’s a land full of miracles, breaking the darkness, purifying the Black Fog, and rekindling the glory of humanity. Perhaps it all started when our Spiritual Power Matrix was connected; the wheels of fate turned, and a new epoch might be about to be born."

He looked around and indeed felt the extraordinary power from Qingyu and the Holy Fire. It was a power infinitely close to fire, yet slightly different, a transcendent spirit, towering above everyone, in high harmony with the Holy Fire.

In fact, when he first arrived at Troli, he had already sensed this power, but he didn’t mind it at the time, thinking it was just a slight difference in Troli’s Holy Fire. But now, it seemed it should be the power of the previous King, the power of the Source Heavenly God Throne.

No matter what, the Source Heavenly God’s throne must be protected.

Rhein made a firm decision in his heart, and for some reason, his gaze shifted back to Rod, adding a silent note in his heart.
