The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1397 - 685: Starlight

The Book of Knowledge hesitated for a moment.

"Master, the difficulty of the Giant God Power is very high for you right now, almost impossible to pass."

"If you forcefully awaken it, you would either lose 100 points of divinity, or you would have to pause the Star Tower for a long time until you reach a level where you can accomplish the awakening."

Rod frowned, not expecting this answer.

He thought that with the pausing function of the Star Tower, he could awaken a more powerful star.

"Book, what exactly do I need to awaken the star? I’ve already awakened five stars, and it doesn’t seem to be related much to the strength of my soul. It’s more a test of my mental will and belief."

The Book of Knowledge answered: "Master, that’s because these stars were specially selected by me. These are the easiest stars for you; their awakening conditions align closely with you. Conversely, without such mental will and belief, they are the hardest stars to awaken."

"Most stars require you to retrieve their souls from lost time and space, which might involve terrifying battles or require exceptional wisdom. The Giant God Power is such a star. In my sensing, it’s one of the hardest star souls for you to awaken."

Rod felt deeply disappointed.

Earlier, he had a spark of inspiration, making him feel that among all the stars, the one that would enhance him the most was the Giant God Power.

Unexpectedly, it was also the hardest.

Indeed, awakening a Great Star is not simple.

But after knowing this reason, the Book of Knowledge suddenly jumped up.

"As expected, the Giant God Power is indeed the most powerful among the Great Stars. I understand now, I remember!"

Rod raised an eyebrow: "What did you remember?"

"I finally understand why the Ancient God of Destiny deliberately sent its Source Material back. Before the True King, the Giant God Power was your core power. Besides the Giant Star, no star is stronger than it... Master, although awakening it is extremely difficult, there is one star, if you master it, it can greatly reduce this difficulty!"

Rod’s heart skipped a beat, and he urgently asked: "Which star?"

"The Star Shuttle!"

Rod’s eyes immediately turned to that star.

It was the seventh star he ignited, which had been his main force in battle for a long time until the Great Star was ignited and it gradually receded from being the main force.

So, it’s this star?

Rod was both surprised and doubtful, and slowly asked: "Is it difficult to awaken it?"

"There is some difficulty, but not high. The master has a chance to complete its awakening."

Rod’s mind settled, and he immediately approached the Star Tower.

Once again he invested 10 parts of Soul Firewood, the giant bell was illuminated again, the light of the Star Shuttle surfaced on the clock face.

On the back of the giant bell, another silver small clock also gleamed.

The Book of Knowledge told Rod that if he felt something was wrong, he could trigger the Time Bell at any time to pause the Star Tower, but the awakening process would be interrupted, and he would have to start over.

"Master, please remember, the Star Tower is searching for star souls in lost time, forgotten dust, and in the eternal Spirit River. What you see is not necessarily an illusion realm."

Not an illusion realm?

Rod didn’t quite understand the words of the Book of Knowledge for a moment, but he didn’t think too deeply about it. Since he could stop, his fingertip lightly touched the clock face, and his vision was immediately shrouded in white mist.

Seconds later, the white mist dispersed, Rod’s body suddenly soared, a strong sense of weightlessness hit him, and the gale roared into his ears, his black hair flying wildly across his forehead.

What is happening?

Rod’s feet sank, he landed again, and raised his eyes, only to see a huge, shattered giant tower.

It is rapidly plummeting.

And he is standing on this structure.

All around are fragments, the world is gray, and thick black clouds blanket the sky.

A crying voice shouted, "We’re finished! We’ve failed! Even the Asrada Tower can’t hold up!"

Only then did Rod notice that many people were gathered above the giant tower.

With a loud bang, astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations came.

Rod’s heart trembled, shocked to discover it was level 17 spiritual energy.

Those possessing level 17 spiritual energy are terrifying beings.

Rod’s gaze immediately turned towards the source of the spiritual energy fluctuation.

Sure enough, a terrifying figure crawled up from the bottom of the giant tower, at least ten thousand feet tall, making any giant seem like an infant in its presence. Its entire body was filled with boiling black fog, with terrifying spiritual energy waves emanating from within.

Its form instantly reminded Rod of a deeply engraved existence.

The Black Fog Demon?

Is this the Black Fog Demon?

No!

Rod quickly denied it.

It resembles the Black Fog Demon, but it’s not the Black Fog Demon. It has a distinct physical body, with black fog only flickering on its surface. Beneath the black fog, a vaguely bluish-green body could be seen, like a mutated giant.

Meanwhile, the Black Fog Demon is purely a condensation of black fog. Though powerful, it lacks this sense of solidity.

At this moment, exclamations erupted from the crowd, as powerful spiritual energy burst forth successively, and flashes of spiritual energy shot skyward.

Rod was surprised to find they were all level 17 spiritual energy, and their spiritual energy fluctuations were heavy and stable, like a large ship with ballast, gently rising and falling with the sea waves.
