The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1634 - 770: Passing the Flame (Part 3)

The voice of the Book of Knowledge sounded once more in Rod’s ears, guiding him to attempt gathering starlight from the unseen threads into the spirit array.

The process went surprisingly smoothly. Only after a few attempts, specks of starlight fell from the boundless starry sky, pouring into Rod’s parched soul like a torrential rain.

It was unclear how much time had passed when a startled exclamation jolted him awake.

"So much, so much, hahaha! Master, it’s overflowing, there’s too much!"

Rod opened his eyes to see that the dark blue, profound liquid was spilling from his palm, shining like liquefied starlight.

In his soul, there was even more star liquid, and with a slight mental motion, it overflowed from his palm.

Rod opened his eyes wide in surprise. This was at least more than a hundred portions of pure star source.

Could a single star source ritual condense so much?

"Hahaha!"

The Book of Knowledge fluttered its pages, circling around his feet frantically.

"This is a miracle! A typical star source ritual yields only 10 portions, and with good luck, at most 20 to 30 portions. It’s only during special star phase moments, like the constellation shining or the constellation returning, that one might reach 100 portions. We’ve conducted the ritual directly and gained the quantity usually available only during special star phases. Our luck is truly remarkable."

Rod displayed a faint smile but appeared very composed, realizing this was likely the influence of the Source Heavenly God Throne.

No wonder the Supreme Will targets it so aggressively; the Source Heavenly God Throne indeed has the potential to change the fate of mankind.

"Asa."

Rod suddenly remembered something.

"You absorbed all the evil thoughts; what did you gain?"

Asa responded with a face full of resentment: "Master, you finally remembered. I thought you’d forgotten me entirely."

Rod coughed awkwardly: "The situation was urgent at the time... What did you gain?"

Despite Asa’s grievances, since the master asked, he set his feelings aside. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Besides obtaining much information and conspiracy from them, I mainly have two gains."

"First, regarding Ark’s movements, he has left Trolian Royal City and headed to an unknown place to awaken more Divine Envoys of the Supreme Will."

Rod’s brow furrowed; this was certainly not good news. Divine Envoys of the Supreme Will can silently and insidiously control the souls of King Level strong individuals, making them very difficult to guard against. The scenes from the Blood God War were still vivid in memory.

It seems a countermeasure is necessary.

"And the second?"

Asa’s tone turned excited.

"I found the master information for the Evil Thought Stele Space and gained the capability to enter and control the Evil Thought Stele Space!"

Rod frowned and asked, "What use is this?"

Asa’s excitement could no longer be contained.

"Master, once I completely control the Evil Thought Stele Space, it means all evil thoughts have nowhere to hide. I can directly determine if someone is an Ancient Evil Thought—attempt to pull them into the Evil Thought Stele Space; if not responding, they are human, if otherwise, they are an evil thought."

"More importantly, I can completely acquire all information on the Evil Thought Stele, including all ’Life of Man’ and detailed information about them."

"As you know, if we know the characteristics of a ’Life of Man,’ their enhancement becomes very easy—like the Source Heavenly God Throne. The stronger the requirement of fire, the stronger the Source Heavenly God Throne. Thus, the Kings of Troli are so powerful, Master. You wait; he will become even stronger, a powerful ally to stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"If I can know more ’Lives of Man,’ you would have many such powerful allies."

"Furthermore, the Evil Thought Stele contains many secrets. If we can utilize them all, your victory over the Supreme Will is no longer a distant dream."

Asa’s words profoundly moved Rod, but he quickly focused on the priority.

"When can you completely control the Evil Thought Stele Space?"

Asa’s tone became solemn.

"Master, the control of the Evil Thought Stele Space lies with the three leaders of evil thoughts. Although I have also grasped this authority, Ark has noticed and is constantly contending for control, preventing me from controlling the Evil Thought Stele Space."

Rod immediately asked, "What help do you need?"

Asa said gravely: "I need time. Ark is far more familiar with manipulating this space than I am, and I can’t outmaneuver him temporarily, but someday, I will know it better than him. He can’t always avoid showing a flaw... Also, my soul is not strong enough to completely overpower him. I need more evil thoughts to enhance my soul’s essence, and more Polluted Essence, as it can strengthen my soul body."

Rod nodded: "I understand, Asa. Do everything you can to seize the Evil Thought Stele Space."

Getting the master’s attention, the shadows in Asa’s heart dissipated instantly, and he chuckled: "Rest assured, Master."

By now, half a day had passed, and the Star Tower glowed faintly, indicating it was ready.

Rod approached the Star Tower: "Book, which star should I awaken?"

The Book of Knowledge flicked through its pages and replied: "Justice Execution, although it is relatively difficult, it is the most suitable star for you to awaken right now."

The time has finally come for this star?

Rod thought.

He jumped onto the tower, lightly touched the clock face, and 100 points of divinity dissipated."

His vision also dimmed accordingly.
