The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1357 - 671: Eye of Divine_2
"The book."
Rodβs eyes flickered as he asked softly.
"What do you think?" ππ³ππππ¦π£π―β΄π£π¦π.π€ππ
He didnβt mention any specifics, but they all knew what he was talking about.
The Book of Knowledge rapidly flipped its pages, and its voice carried a heavy panting: "Master, I need to think, the fragmented dream realm has caused some of my memories to be lost. I need to recall, and make a calm judgment..."
It kept muttering, seemingly unable to calm down for the moment.
Rodβs gaze fell on the divinity below.
The weekly dream realm divinity had just come in, 15 points.
Adding it up, the total divinity reached 1272 points.
This was the hard-earned result of all his struggles, the crystallization of all his merits, the gift he lifted humanity with in the Abyss.
Rod had gained a considerable amount of divinity during this time, obtaining 100 points in the Kingβs Catastrophe, 300 points from the voyage to the Horror Castle, and 50 points from the complete annihilation of the Giant Brain Monster.
However, activating the Star Soul twice consumed 200 points, the birth of the three Ghost Kings used 200 points, and the battles in the Spirit Realm against the Mysterious Shadow also consumed quite a bit. So overall, his divinity hadnβt seen much growth.
Looking back, the primary loss was the battle within the Spirit Realm.
The Kingβs power was too overwhelming, causing his significance in the battle to diminish, reducing the gain of divinity. But Rod had no regrets, as spending hundreds of divinity points to save the King was necessary at any time.
His importance was beyond question. To say nothing else, during the Horror Castle battle, a casual assist from the King saved him 100 points of divinity.
Moreover, that battle let Rod obtain the Mysterious Shadowβs soul, not only gaining secret knowledge about the Mysterious Ancestor, the Human Demon, and the Mysterious Shadow, but also housing 3 Strong Sources and 1000 Nightmare Fuel within the Mysterious Shadowβs soul.
The gains certainly outweighed the losses.
"Book, with 1272 points of divinity, is it possible to ignite the Giant Star?"
This was Rodβs biggest concern.
For the Great Star, igniting the Giant God Power requires 150 divinity points, Truth requires 100 points, Sinβs Touch and Song of Life each need 760 points.
The varying conditions for igniting a star do not imply differences in the quality or rank of the Great Stars themselves.
The Book of Knowledge informed him that the focus of reigniting stars is different.
Some ignition conditions are stringent, some source material requirements are challenging, some Star Souls are exceedingly hard to awaken, so one cannot simply distinguish the strength of stars based on ignition conditions alone.
In reality, the Giant God Power is indeed the strongest among the Great Stars, and its source material and Star Soul awakening are the hardest to accomplish.
Rodβs heart stirred, no wonder the quantified "Giant God Core" was specifically delivered by the residual spirit of an Ancient God. Although the rebirth of the ancient flesh of a god may just be a lesser god, far less powerful than the God of Contaminated Blood, it still signifies its importance.
In hindsight, Rod deeply regretted not inquiring more about the Ancient God, and whether its master was a member of the True Gods.
After pondering for a moment, the Book of Knowledge continued: "Master, although divinity requirements are uncertain, there is a basic principle: 1 unit of source requires at least 1 unit of Soul Firewood, equivalent to 10 divinity points. One Strong Source needs at least 10 units of Soul Firewood, or 100 divinity points. This is the minimum requirement, it can only increase, not decrease. One Root Origin equates to 10 Strong Sources or 100 units of source, meaning the minimum threshold to ignite the Giant Star is 1000 divinity points."
Rod frowned slightly: "Book, canβt you directly observe its requirements, like before?"
The Book of Knowledge shook its head slightly.
"Master, the Giant Star is different; it is too powerful, located deep in the Soul Wilderness, a place we cannot reach. I can only use my abilities to perceive its specific location so we can descend there."
Rod raised an eyebrow: "Then why donβt you perceive it?"
"Master, I have told you, a certain level of soul strength can only bear a certain number of stars; conversely, a powerful star requires a powerful soul to bear it. With your current soul strength, I can only randomly perceive one star and cannot choose. If that one cannot be ignited, I cannot proceed with another perception."
Rodβs heart sank. He had always thought the Book of Knowledgeβs perception of stars was limitless, allowing him freely to choose the most suitable star. Little did he know there were conditions, hence the fixed number of stars for him to choose each time.
"What do you mean by unable to ignite? Not enough divinity?"
The Book of Knowledge flipped a page: "Not only that, it may also require a stronger soul."
Rod pondered momentarily before asking: "Book, is there a specific correlation between stars and soul strength?"
The Book of Knowledge replied: "Itβs quite complex. Regardless of strength, any soul can contain 5 dream realm stars. After gaining strength, it can contain 3 more. The 8th, 10th, 13th, and 15th are the watersheds. After each rank, the soul strength required to hold new stars increases drastically. The 16th star requires 1 billion strength, the 17th needs 2 billion, the 18th needs 4 billion, the 19th needs 6 billion, while the 20th star is another watershed, needing 20 billion, which converts to your Spiritual Power Strength as 4 million kilothreads, the threshold for 17th level spiritual energy, and the standard of a True King."
So thatβs how it is.
