The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1393 - 684: Hope and Disaster

Could it be that this book, which hasn’t been of much use since entering the Dream Realm, is finally about to turn the tables?

If it truly can sense all factors affecting me, like dangers I will encounter, help I will receive, choices I will make, and so on, wouldn’t it be akin to a Divine Artifact?

If that’s the case, then it’s necessary to give it more "Destiny Energy" to quickly help it become the "Book of Destiny" again.

Of course, it’s not time to make a decision yet; let’s observe it a bit longer.

After sorting his thoughts, Rod said, "You did well, Weiguang Asa, you’ve finally shown your value. I hope you will be even more useful in the future."

The Book of the Future laughed, and its pages fluttered apart.

This was the first time its master called it by its full name so earnestly, signifying that the master finally recognized it.

All along, it had been a marginal figure in the Dream Realm. Despite multiple attempts to prove itself, limited by its capabilities, it hadn’t provided much help to its master and was never valued much.

What’s worse is, it could potentially face an existential crisis.

The Book of the Future is essentially a creation of the Dream Realm. It is a spirit that came to be by chance on the Book of the Future, and its existence does not affect the item’s usage.

Unable to prove its abilities, there would have been no need for Rod to save it when it was about to vanish.

Others in the Dream Realm, like Asa, the Book of Knowledge, and dolls, could forcibly eliminate it.

Rod wouldn’t blame them for such a trivial matter.

Therefore, after foreseeing this terrifying possibility, the Book of the Future always lived in fear. It worked hard to prove itself during the trip to Saint Reel, just wanting to escape this unstable situation.

But things didn’t go as planned, and it ultimately backed itself into a corner.

Fortunately, the master coincidentally gained power from destiny, and his compassion allowed the Book of the Future to survive a crisis.

At that moment, the Book of the Future resolved to cling tightly to its master’s support and never let up for a second.

"Master, I will!"

Rod nodded, giving it a glance: "The remaining Destiny Energy is still wandering in your Spiritual Body. Once you’ve digested it all, I’ll consider giving you a new dose of Destiny Energy."

The Book of the Future trembled with excitement and shouted, "I, I understand! I will use all my power... I want to control destiny, control the future, control the past, control the present. I want to become the Book of Destiny again, and even further..."

Trembling, it revealed its ultimate dream.

"To become the God of Destiny."

"Master, I will accomplish it. I am your most loyal servant, Weiguang Asa!"

Amid hysterical laughter, the Book of the Future leaped onto the bookshelf and once again began its slumber.

Rod raised an eyebrow, not expecting the Book of the Future’s ambitions to be so grand, but he didn’t mind, as it seemed almost impossible now.

As for the future, who can say?

Rod retrieved the Prison Spirit from the Storage; it was a chrysanthemum-shaped badge with Spiritual Light flowing within. Once he input Spiritual Energy, he could sense nearby seals or barriers.

Hopefully, it will be useful.

Rod immediately left the Dream Realm and resumed treasure hunting.

Indeed, the "Prison Spirit" proved to be of great use.

It could accurately reveal the locations of seals on the ruins and, upon getting closer, display their internal structures.

Rod could easily disable them just by probing with Spiritual Energy.

This gave Rod a significant advantage.

With the ruins no longer exploding, his exploration speed greatly increased, and he quickly scoured the Shaking Land, amassing a large collection of goods.

Among them were well-preserved Star Sources and high-grade Star Marrows.

Rod grinned widely.

Undoubtedly, this would bring him considerable Divinity.

He stored these goods in the Dream Realm, planning to deliver them to the Royal City at a suitable time, ideally by himself to those in need, to gain the most Divinity.

Thus, the tasks in the Shaking Land were entirely completed.

Rod exhausted every last resource and left satisfied.

For the next destination, Rod chose the Wind Fury Cape.

This was the area where the third candidate of Fire, Xingge, and the Fire Son Luo Weiya were stationed.

Of course, Rod wasn’t motivated by Jon’s urging to see Xingge but decided to head there due to the power of "Destiny Energy."

The Wind Fury Cape is bound to have many treasures.

Rod thought.

For the resurgence of humanity and the rise of Trolian, I have no choice but to go.

Absolutely no ulterior motives.

Hmm, I recall that Xingge, although young, seemed to have quite a good figure. It’s been so long; I wonder how she’s changed.

With boundless anticipation, Rod reached the Wind Fury Cape as quickly as possible.

This region was relatively central, and initially, the Royal City didn’t consider it very dangerous.

But soon, the Investigation Legion discovered a powerful King Level Monster lurking deep within the Wind Fury Cape, gathering thick Black Fog and turning this place into an extremely dangerous "Black Domain."

And so, a difficult battle began.

The Royal City expended much effort but couldn’t break through the obstacle hindering expansion.

Hence, the Wind Fury Cape became the most stubborn area next to the Dead Wood Forest.

It was for this reason that this team had two Special Level Combatants stationed there.
