The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1360 - 672: King_2

"However, they have not reached the level of gods. The Ancient God of Flesh Rebirth was dismembered, their soul subjected to cruel torment, and new monsters were born from the remaining body. The Ancient God of Destiny faced backlash, and the blessings of destiny turned into calamities, all proving the limitations of their abilities."

"And from the remains of the Ancient God of Destiny, the finest destiny materials can be crafted, indicating that their soul level is fundamentally different from the Monarch Level, and even from many human True Kings."

"According to my speculation, in the Ancient Epoch, the ritual of becoming a god likely involved first elevating the soul’s position, then obtaining the Root Origin. Those who complete the first step can be called a quasi-god, possessing certain divine powers but not full divine power."

"Only by completing the crucial second step of obtaining the Root Origin can one possess divine power and become a True God."

Rod suddenly realized: "So, a quasi-god possesses the ’Divine Soul’, but only the presence of Strong Source?"

"Correct."

The Book of Knowledge affirmed.

"If we can find the whereabouts of a fallen quasi-god, we might be able to obtain the ’Divine Soul’."

Rod nodded, having already formed a preliminary idea.

Currently, Trolian is no longer entirely in the dark about the Ancient Epoch. Through exploration of the Sagus Ancient City and the Sword Edge Mountain Range, along with the knowledge brought by Saint Reel, they have acquired a lot of information and have been continuously exploring.

Finding a trace of a fallen quasi-god is not without clues.

In fact, Rod had already grasped onto one — the master of the ancient city in the Sword Edge Mountain Range, the Deviant Ancient God.

After the failure of the ’Eternal Sanctuary’ plan, He went to the upper Spirit Realm.

If we could find Him in the upper Spirit Realm...

A flame of hope reignited in Rod’s heart.

With the power of the Dream Realm, in a complete state, it might not be impossible to defeat a strong monarch.

Then, wielding the ’Eye of Divine’, appearing in the face of the God of Contaminated Blood’s battlefield, with one command, the world fell silent, the laws of the gods were forbidden, and fleshly monsters collapsed.

By then, who would question my title as the Invincible War God?

Hahaha!

Just thinking about it is exhilarating.

Of course, turning the dream into reality requires more effort.

Rod grasped the ’Source Tree Tentacles’ and stepped before the Obelisk, casting this small, ever-twitching deep-purple tentacle into his third Great Star, ’Sin’s Touch’.

Purple light immediately engulfed the Obelisk, and a phantom of a star began to emerge in the night sky of the Dream Realm.

Rod’s current Spiritual Power Strength had already crossed that threshold; the quantification of the star no longer needed to wait so long and soon completed.

About two quarter-hours later, the purple light subsided.

In the night sky, a deep-purple star lit up again.

As Rod’s gaze swept over it, its information emerged before him.

’Sin’s Touch’

’State: Primordial’

’Position: Above the Spirit Realm’

’Star Energy: Sinful Touch’

’Strength: 27.6 million’

’Source: 10’

’Description: The physical form may be finite, but the spirit never dies. May the gods treat my heroic spirit comrades well.’

——

’Sinful Touch’: Tear apart the body’s armor, destroy the soul’s defenses, strike directly at the heart’s weaknesses, penetrate the gaps in the spirit,

greatly weakening the soul’s protective abilities and damaging its spiritual will.

——

After reading it, Rod’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The description of ’Sinful Touch’ led to unpleasant associations, but more importantly, it offered only an additional spiritual attack compared to ’Evil Touch’.

But aren’t monsters supposed to be chaotic and insane?

Do they have minds? Do they have weaknesses in their psyche?

On this, the Book of Knowledge explained that ’Sinful Touch’ works oppositely, forcibly correcting the chaotic will of monsters, making them orderly, but for monsters, this is greater chaos, as their fundamentally chaotic soul elements cannot accept this ordering, thus they become greatly paralyzed and vulnerable to attacks.

Curious, Rod asked, "What if I used it on people, like doomsday believers?"

"’Sinful Touch’ would disrupt orderly souls, causing them to fall into madness and chaos."

Sounds promising.

But the specific effect can only be determined by testing it.

Rod glanced at the Soul Strength; ’Sin’s Touch’ had increased from 9.2 million to 27.6 million, and ’Song of Life’s’ additional strength also rose from 20.6 million to 22.44 million.

The total Soul Strength thus rose from 155.36 million to 175.6 million.

Igniting the 17th star needs a soul strength of 200 million, while the Monarch Level threshold is 420,000 kilounits of Spiritual Energy; Rod’s balance of life is higher, so 400,000 kilounits should suffice, which amounts to a soul strength of 200 million.

He is still 20 million short of the soul strength of 200 million.

Rod shifted his gaze to ’Time Wander’.

With his current resources, igniting another Great Star posed no issue.

Moreover, among the source materials Time Heart and Time Stone, one very likely serves as the source material for ’Time Wander’.

Igniting and quantifying in one go should easily handle the remaining 20 million strength.

However, ’Time Wander’ is a relatively special strong Spiritual Energy Great Star, requiring 2 units of Strong Source, 18 units of Source, and 760 units of Divinity; might igniting it delay the process of igniting a Giant Star?

Rod calculated mentally that after ignition, he would still have 8 units of Strong Source and 16 units of Source left.

In this case, as long as he replenishes 4 units of Source before acquiring the ’Divine Soul’, he can still ascend a unit of Root Origin.
