The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1616 - 763: Turning Point
For a brief moment, Rod almost thought he was doomed to become the King of Devouring Excrement like Asa. Fortunately, he quickly understood the description of Star Energy.
The role of [Glutton] is very clear: devour ash and generate a specific substance.
The "ash" here refers to Monster Ash.
After a monster is killed, the foundation of its existence collapses, Black Fog undergoes Quantization, the Source returns to the Void, becoming once again a formless and intangible existence, and the power remaining in the monster congeals into Monster Ash. This is the purest form of Life Energy, generally used to create Potions and Fuel Elements, but the useless residues turn into ash, which is what the [Glutton] needs to devour.
"Isn’t this just waste utilization?"
Rod raised an eyebrow, looking at the more detailed information [Glutton] fed back into his Soul.
There’s a list of transformation products for [Glutton], but only one material is listed—"Ash Core."
"Ash Core? What’s the use of this thing?"
Rod turned his gaze to the Book of Knowledge.
The latter rustled its pages: "Maybe once you’ve created it, you’ll understand its use. The [Glutton] directly touches the Stars of your inspiration, its special creations will certainly be of great use to you."
Rod nodded slightly; he wasn’t worried about this point.
As long as the Stars are lit, they will inevitably play their role at the right time.
What he cared more about was the Dream Realm and the future path of Trolian. The great expansion had already begun. Based on previous experiences, humanity’s large-scale actions would inevitably provoke even greater motions from the Black Fog.
The previous Blood God War subsided for unknown reasons. Will it be the same this time?
Pollution from the Starry Sky has already descended, and the great terror foretold in the Source Prophecy is approaching. The other two Fire Civilizations that survived the Dark Epoch have not yet been found. Undoubtedly, humanity has arrived at the crossroads of Destiny. How to firmly grasp the helm amidst these turbulent waves and storms, allowing the ship of Trolian to steadily sail through this boundless dark sea to the endpoint of light, was the problem he needed to ponder most now.
Currently, no one could provide an answer to this question.
But Rod knew very well that regardless of the path or the road, power is the foundation of everything. He must become stronger, and Trolian must also become stronger.
As the previous Master of Dreams, Heigao’er, said, he needed more, more powerful allies.
Fortunately, for Rod, these two issues almost equaled one problem.
Whenever Rod thought about this, he would feel as if the Creator of the Dream Realm (if it existed) had long seen through everything.
"Book."
Rod asked in a deep voice.
"What are your thoughts on the choice of the last Giant Star?"
The Book of Knowledge pondered: "Among the three Giant Stars, whether it’s [Burning Destiny], [Light Deviation], or [Destruction Sphere], they all greatly enhance the master, but their needs differ. [Light Deviation] demands the highest, requiring 7 units of Root Origin and 7000 Divinity, whereas [Destruction Sphere] requires the least, with only 2 units of Root Origin and 3000 Divinity."
"If our resources are sufficient, ignite [Light Deviation], making subsequent Quantification and awakening relatively easy. If resources are insufficient or the situation is urgent, ignite [Destruction Sphere]. If the master can acquire much Divinity, ignite [Burning Destiny]; it’s quite special, requiring 5 units of Root Origin and 12500 Divinity."
Rod nodded. Soul, Source, and Divinity are the three major factors restraining his growth.
And each of these will be acquired during the expansion of Trolian.
Especially Divinity.
"It seems that this great expansion is critical for my acquisition of Divinity." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Rod mused for a moment and then asked, "Book, where should the Dream Realm venture next?"
The Book of Knowledge suddenly became very worried: "For reasons unknown, the Dream Realm now plunders the deep powers of the higher Spirit Realm. It’s extremely dangerous no matter where we go."
"Can we stay long-term at the junction until I become stronger and gather the Dream Fragments? A complete Dream Realm should not fear such disturbances."
The Book of Knowledge shook its head decisively: "No, master. Staying at the junction long-term will render the junction dangerous, especially with our intrusion. It will arrive in over ten days, and if we’re still at the junction, it will imbue the junction with the aura of the Dream Realm. Once this occurs, we won’t merely face the threat of a higher Spirit Realm area."
Rod’s face turned solemn; it seemed that retrieving the Dream Fragments needed to be expedited—he had originally intended to wait until Horus ascended to True King before heading to the Ancient City indicated by the "Heavenly Sphere Clock."
However, seeing the current situation, he should move ahead.
"I understand, Book, you will take charge of this matter."
The Book of Knowledge patted its chest: "Rest assured, master, I will certainly enter the next area at the appropriate time. Though dangerous, it also presents an opportunity for us."
The Book of the Future also shouted: "I will endeavor to use my power to help the master evade danger."
Rod couldn’t help but show a slight smile on his face; he didn’t know when the slippery and useless Book of the Future had become reassuring.
"Alright, Weiguang Asa, matters concerning Destiny and prophecies are entrusted to you... The previous Destiny Energy has been digested, right? Here is a new portion, hoping you can soon grasp the full trajectory of Destiny and become the destined King of Destiny."
