The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1609 - 760: Ascension Ceremony (Part 2)

"So it turns out to be the Sea of Flowers."

Rod felt slightly disappointed. This was the least useful existence in the dream realm. Obtaining its fragments wouldn’t provide much enhancement for Rod.

However, as the Sea of Flowers was part of the dream realm, completing it would also help to enhance the power of the dream realm, which was better than nothing.

Rod passed through the House of God and came to the back of the house. The pattern on the back of his hand immediately became scorching hot and quickly transformed into a mass of gray mist that fell to the ground.

In that instant, Rod noticed that the area of the Sea of Flowers had expanded a hundredfold, from a small piece of land behind the house to an open field. The fragrant scent of fertile soil filled the air, and the intense spirituality danced within the soil. Information from the dream realm feedback appeared in his mind.

[Sea of Flowers] completed.

Dream realm completeness increased.

[Sea of Flowers]: Capable of planting spiritual plants, the soil possesses an extremely strong spirituality and life energy, significantly enhancing the growth speed and yield of plants.

It has a special protective function; even rare plants that are extremely difficult to survive can thrive here.

It can directly apply spirituality, greatly enhancing the fertility and life energy of the soil, dramatically promoting plant growth, increasing plant yield, and improving yield quality.

"Is this the complete [Sea of Flowers]?"

Rod could hardly believe it. The difference from the previous [Sea of Flowers] was worlds apart.

And now, Troli were greatly lacking in Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass, even more so than other resources, because minerals like Sun Stone, True Silver, and Moon Stone could be directly mined by Troli, while planting Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass required a certain time cycle.

Although Eve had found a lot of fertile land suitable for planting, the yield remained hard to increase.

The root cause was that planting Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass required the intense life energy of the Holy White Tree, while the main body of the Holy White Tree resided in the botanical garden of the Royal City. The garden had long been unable to expand, and could not accommodate more Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass.

The locations outside could only host small Holy White Trees grown from the saplings of the Holy White Tree, but their life energy was much weaker than the main body, so naturally, their growth couldn’t be as rapid.

The small Holy White Trees themselves also needed to grow, which made the production cycle even longer.

But now, Rod had a solution to this problem.

"I still don’t know the exact effect of the [Sea of Flowers], but from the description, it should not be worse than the botanical garden."

Rod thought silently to himself.

"Even if it’s a bit inferior, it doesn’t matter. The area is so vast, the yield it provides should be enough for me to gain a substantial amount of divinity. Hmm, when the time comes, I’ll let the Book of Knowledge manage it, and if necessary, I’ll have Asa apply some fertilizer to make the best use of everything, hahaha, I truly am a genius."

With his thoughts settled, Rod felt even more eager as he returned to the Royal City, accelerating constantly, almost using all his strength.

Finally, after an hour, he returned to the Royal City.

Almost immediately, he gathered all the high-ranking members in the Royal City to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground to announce this good news to everyone.

Cheers immediately resounded throughout the sacrificial ground, everyone was incredibly excited, and both Bossivale and Horus were beaming with smiles. They never thought they would be able to perform the Ascension Ceremony so soon.

But soon, a new problem arose.

Who should be chosen for the Ascension Ceremony?

Horus decisively said, "Lord Rod, it should be you."

Bossivale smiled and said, "The essence of the Ascension Ceremony is to enhance the spirit’s position, and it can be used by both Monarchs and True Kings with great enhancement. Although Lord Rod has already become a True King, it doesn’t mean Rod cannot use the Ascension Ceremony."

"Yes!"

Luo Weiya shouted.

"Of course, Rod should be the first to use it. Does anyone have any objections?"

No one paid him any attention. No one present had any objections, but the way he said it made it seem like it was his idea.

Rod coughed and said seriously, "Everyone, I’m not part of this group. I am the Life of Man, the child of platinum. My ascension is special, and all external factors are useless to me, so we need to choose someone other than myself."

This issue immediately stumped everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to make a decision.

Suddenly, the first Defense Chief, Dallin, shouted, "I think the first Ascension Ceremony should be given to the First Knight, Alan."

This answer immediately received unanimous approval from everyone, but it was swiftly denied by Horus.

"No, Alan is currently within Saint Reel’s territory retrieving relics, and it’s impossible for him to return in a short time. We’d better not wait so long."

Horus’s mood was the most urgent; he feared such a good opportunity would suddenly encounter obstacles and was eager to see it realized.

Having just returned from the Sword Fortress, the Dark Moon Princess asked, "What about the Sun Knight or the Moon Knight?"

Horus shook his head, "Kai and Olivia are also within Saint Reel’s territory retrieving relics and cannot return for the time being."

Everyone fell into confusion. Subsequently, they proposed various candidates like Misha, Peibela, Viheler, Jelaba, Jon, Qingyu, Xingge, and Evela.

However, there were too many candidates, and they found it difficult to choose.

The Ascension Ceremony was crucial, and it was imperative to choose someone infallible.

More importantly, this person had to possess very high potential, otherwise, it would be a waste of the relic Rod had painstakingly brought back.

But after much argument, they couldn’t reach a decision.

Finally, Horus decided to consult the White Tower, asking the Master of the White Tower, Iyeta, to use prophecy to choose a suitable person.

But Iyeta firmly refused his request, stating that the White Tower had more important matters to attend to and could not spare even a fraction of energy.

This brought things to a standstill, and Bossivale suggested they wait a little longer until Alan returned.

Horus was ready to compromise as well, but Rod didn’t want to wait.

Without completing the Ascension Ceremony, he would be unable to gain many divine powers, and he was waiting to ignite the [Glutton].

However, the choice of personnel could not be taken lightly.

Just when he was very distressed, the Book of the Future jumped off the shelf and shouted.

"Master, I’m awake! I’ve absorbed this portion of Destiny Energy and feel I’ve taken another solid step towards destiny. Quickly, give me another portion, I can’t wait any longer."

Rod’s eyes lit up instantly.

"You came just in time, Weiguang Asa!"

Thus, the newly awakened Book of the Future was forced to start working. It first absorbed the Destiny Energy handed over by Rod and then began flipping its pages to prophesy.

This prophecy process was very long, lasting at least over an hour before the Book of the Future finally stopped flipping, and the Golden Light fell back into its pages.

"Master, this prophecy was very difficult, much harder than imagined. If it wasn’t for my current state, I wouldn’t have been able to see that name..."

"Stop the nonsense," Rod urged, "Quickly tell me the name."

If nothing unexpected happened, that name might very well become Troli’s third True King.

The Book of the Future coughed and said the three words Rod couldn’t have expected.

"Horus."

Rod’s eyes widened in shock, "What? Horus? How can this be? Why him?"

The Book of the Future exclaimed, "Why can’t it be him? He embodies the Bright Light Source Law, stepping into the ranks of the Monarch Level only after absorbing the Residual Soul of the Holy King, and he hasn’t fully digested the Residual Soul of the Holy King yet. The essence of the Ascension Ceremony is to excavate and enhance a person’s potential. Horus’s potential is so immense, and excavating it is much easier than with others, so naturally, the choice should be him."

It paused for a moment and continued, "You guys should have realized, using prophecy to get the answer is much harder than logical reasoning."

Rod suddenly realized, yes, Horus had the Residual Soul of the Holy King within him. As a True King who dominated an era, his strength was undoubtedly formidable.

Therefore, the candidate for the Ascension Ceremony could only be him.

King of Bright Light, Horus.
