The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1355 - 670: Arrival of the Invincible War God (Part 2)
Everyone’s faces were adorned with smiles, as if they had already witnessed a flourishing Trolian beneath the high walls.
Bossivale was even more excited. After the kingdom’s fall, he had a great yearning for a stable living area. He said in a deep voice, "I firmly believe that in the near future, Trolian will be completely transformed and reborn."
He spread his arms and shouted loudly.
"A mighty kingdom, comparable to those in the Fire Epoch, will soon be born."
Under the golden firelight, everyone’s eyes sparkled, and Rod saw countless hopes within them.
May this day come true.
He thought.
At the end of the meeting, Rod and Qingyu handed the Star Cotton, the stone jar, and the base over to the King. He planned to use the power of the Holy Fire to inspect them, and after confirming there were no issues, they would be handed over to the Holy Church.
Bossivale stated that the True King Ceremony would soon commence, and Trolian would soon welcome its first True King.
With the presence of a True King, Trolian would have genuine confidence in its survival. Under the protection of the Holy Fire, Spirit Throne, and Star Marrow Altar, the entire kingdom would increasingly strengthen.
The Star Source within the Star Cotton would swiftly return the exceptional talents of Trolian to their rightful positions. Bossivale believed that, given time, more than twenty kings would emerge in Trolian, with at least five being Strong Kings.
They would become powerful aides to the King, helping him resist the coming catastrophe.
Concerning the three Light Stones within the base, Bossivale mentioned he would carefully evaluate everyone to choose the most suitable candidates to aid them in becoming truly powerful individuals.
The first one to receive the Light Stone, Tai Luo, was at the critical point of transformation. Bossivale would expedite his metamorphosis into the ranks of the Commander, and if necessary, would spend another Light Stone to aid his growth.
Of course, the most crucial factor was the residual soul of the Holy King.
It was sealed by the King within a Soul Crystal.
The method to utilize it was extremely complicated, and currently, Horus was the key choice.
If used appropriately, Horus would quickly ascend, moving from a half-step Commander directly to the Monarch Level.
A King possessing a "Bright Light" Strong Source has an unimaginable impact on humanity, with formidable frontal combat ability, and unparalleled medical ability. His presence is like a lifesaving charm, minimizing human loss.
It’s said that a Bright Light King can support an entire resurrected fortress. His soul technique ability reaches inconceivable subtlety. If there had been a Bright Light King among the three Protecting White Kings, they wouldn’t have had incomplete souls, degraded combat power, and retreated to the second line.
This is second only to the True King Ceremony, in terms of significant enhancement.
Bossivale required Horus to delegate all ecclesiastical matters and focus entirely on preparing for the ascension.
What he needed most was rigorous will training.
Bossivale prepared to gather all combatants with spiritual abilities to impose harsh mental distortion on Horus, ensuring he had enough resilience to accept this heritage.
Additionally, the King decided to establish a new city centered around the Spirit Throne, with its full function being to protect and maintain the Spirit Throne.
After everything was settled, the meeting finally ended. Everyone hurriedly left, as they still had many tasks, and Trolian’s expansion had not yet reached half of the final plan; the expansion war continued to rage on.
Ideally, they must complete the expansion and establish the "Eternal Sanctuary" before the God of Contaminated Blood descends, completing the defense of key strategic points.
Especially the establishment of the "Descent Ceremony."
The "Descent Ceremony" is an advanced ritual based on the secret technique of the King’s Heart, capable of linking the Holy Fire and Guardian Fire, and completing a similar descent as the King’s Heart.
Because of the Guardian Fire as support, the King doesn’t have to pay the price of his heart to project the Fire Projection.
Thus, compared to the "King’s Heart," the "Descent Ceremony" consumes less, requiring just a lot of Fire Kindling, and the descending Fire Projection is stronger with fewer weaknesses.
This way, they could confront the God of Contaminated Blood at the "City Gate" without abandoning large territories and being forced into a showdown at the Royal City.
Ideally, with Saint Reel to their west, the God of Contaminated Blood would arrive from the west. Upon completing all defense settings in Great Dragon City, they could confront the Blood God’s invasion there.
By then, most of Trolian’s strong individuals would gather there, relying on various defense works under the protection of the Holy Fire, fighting alongside the King to keep this fallen divine being outside the national borders.
Of course, this is the ideal scenario.
If expansion isn’t complete or defensive measures aren’t set, then they must cede all areas between Great Dragon City and the Royal City for a showdown in the Royal City.
After all, this is the God of Contaminated Blood that destroyed the Saint Rel Kingdom.
Not a single oversight or negligence is allowed.
Only Great Dragon City, with full defensive preparation, and the Royal City, with the Holy Fire, qualify for the final battle.
If Great Dragon City isn’t fully prepared, then they could only fight a decisive battle in the Royal City. Along this path, the devastation and pollution brought by the God of Contaminated Blood would cause Trolian Kingdom severe losses.
Yet, it would still be better than being wiped out like Saint Rel.
Everyone fully understands the trade-offs.
Therefore, everyone is striving to fight, hoping to complete the expansion faster.
Especially the western expansion.
In fact, the Royal City had previously dispatched elite combat clusters to directly attack Great Dragon City, which was Trolian’s farthest frontline. Only Special Level Combatants had been there, obstructing King Level Monsters from approaching Trolian.
Directly seizing Great Dragon City would allow them to begin various arrangements sooner.
However, things didn’t go as they wished; they had occupied the top of Great Dragon City several times but ultimately withdrew due to isolation and lack of support.
Finally, Trolian’s Military War Department believed expansion must proceed step by step. The pollution deep within Great Dragon City is exceedingly heavy. Occupying it isn’t difficult, but complete cleansing, planting the Guardian Fire, and transforming it into a human stronghold is extremely challenging and not a matter of overnight success.
Luckily, the Watchtower in the Sword Edge Mountain Range discovered the God of Contaminated Blood’s expansion speed wasn’t fast.
Due to reasons related to Saint Reel, Trolian gained knowledge of the Divine. A God can only exist within their Divine Country, as is the case with the True King; Horror Castle is essentially the Holy King’s Divine Country.
The Earthly Divine Kingdom of the God of Contaminated Blood is actually the range of its aura.
The Watchtower found its aura expanding randomly, initially thinking it was pursuing Saint Reel refugees, but soon realized it was pursuing Alan. The God of Contaminated Blood seemed very interested in Alan’s existence, with its aura expanding madly wherever Alan had appeared, thus slowing the expansion towards Trolian.
Upon realizing this, Alan began luring the God of Contaminated Blood’s aura in the opposite direction to delay its arrival as much as possible.
This granted Trolian considerable time.
People felt both fortunate and more driven in their fight.

Rod finally returned to his residence, and utterly exhausted, he fell straight into sleep.
The slumber was exceptionally sweet, and when he reopened his eyes, it was already noon. There was still a sense of exhaustion and stinging pain in his spirit, aftereffects of excessive Spiritual Energy consumption.
But he didn’t mind any of it, immediately returning to the Dream Realm.
In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge had been waiting for him for quite some time and cried out as soon as it saw its master, "Hurry, hurry, Master, hurry!"
Rod ignored its noise, his gaze resting only on the Soul Altar.
Inside the transparent Crystal Wall was that large, ever-changing grey-black soul.
[Soul of the Ultimate Sovereign]
Good!
Rod clenched his fist.
This step, I must take it!
Once I become a Monarch Level strong individual, the black Rice Bucket will be a thing of the past.
The true Invincible War God is about to descend!
