The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1645 - 774: Trust Me
The Book of Knowledge was also quite shocked.
"Why are there so many? Just a few energy core upgrades led to 800 Divinity? It’s completely unreasonable!"
"And what is that new pathway supposed to be? A mechanical pathway without flesh and soul? How could something like that compare to the Fire Holder? It wouldn’t even necessarily surpass the Unawakened, yet it holds 1000 Divinity, I can’t comprehend it."
For the first time, Rod felt a dual superiority in knowledge and intelligence over the Book of Knowledge.
"Book, your vision is too narrow, you don’t understand the power of the steel torrent."
The Book of Knowledge retorted: "Do you understand? You talk as if you’ve seen it."
Rod smiled slightly, without answering directly.
"Not to mention, Divinity itself is the best proof. I merely offered some Ash Cores and enhanced the overall power of humanity, opening up new paths, and acquired 1800 Divinity."
"You know, the Dream Realm never errs, and obtaining Divinity represents its value."
The Book of Knowledge was speechless, unable to speak for a long time.
Rod was in a great mood, [the Glutton] didn’t disappoint him, no wonder he had such a strong intuition.
Just a minor trial has gained so much Divinity.
More importantly, in the foreseeable future, as long as he provides more Ash Cores, he can continually obtain Divinity.
Even if it’s not as much as the first time, it wins by a steady stream.
Thinking of this, Rod immediately left the Dream Realm and went to the Royal City Supreme Council, issuing an order in the name of the Fire Son:
[From now on, all ashes on the battlefield are to be collected as much as possible.]
No one had any objections to this order.
What happened in the Mechanical Research Institute had already spread, and the name "Ash Core" had echoed throughout much of Trolian. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Even the warriors on the front lines knew that the great Mr. Rod had created another miracle, solving the issue of logistics and supply transport.
The speed of their advance was no longer restricted, and they no longer faced the awkward situation of having no stronghold.
The people most delighted were researchers and manufacturers of Spiritual Constructs and War Magic Statues, led by scholar Ward, Amides, and others.
Due to the issue of energy core decay, the power of the Constructs and Statues was plummeting. Originally, the latest Constructs far surpassed the Commander’s constructs in overall combat power, but their battlefield performance once dropped to the level of First Level Combatants. Logistics and maintenance were incredibly troublesome, even being subtly suggested by the Council to temporarily halt front-line deployments.
The appearance of the Ash Core perfectly solved these problems, and there were even many new possibilities for the Constructs due to the ample energy.
Mina said excitedly: "Teacher, our energy storage limit has exceeded four times what it was before, many plans that couldn’t be executed due to energy issues can now be implemented. We can equip more powerful functions, arm stronger Spiritual Power Weapons, and load more Source Material! Someday, our Constructs will achieve Monarch Level combat power!"
Amides repeatedly examined the Ash Core in his hand, exclaiming: "It’s truly a miraculous creation, Mr. Rod is simply a god-like figure."
Scholar Ward, however, appeared quite worried.
"The creation of a powerful Fire Holder easily solved problems we couldn’t solve... Is Truth forever inferior to great power? Does Spiritual Power Technology still have a future?"
No one spoke.
The scholars and great scholars fell silent.
This is indeed the persistent doubt in everyone’s heart; their perseverance so far is based on the belief that Truth can save humanity, that the path of Spiritual Power Technology holds unlimited future.
But now it seems, this appears to be some kind of mistaken perception.
"Technology has a future."
At this moment, Mina suddenly spoke.
"The power of the soul has been continuing for tens of thousands of years, while the technology of spiritual power is just beginning. Rod stands at the pinnacle of the soul and can accomplish things we cannot, which is normal, but that doesn’t mean Truth and technology cannot compare to the Fire Holder."
"The fact that we don’t understand the Ash Core today doesn’t mean we won’t understand the Ash Core in the future. Truth is understanding everything, and technology is the path to using Truth. I believe, as long as we persevere, our future will surely be as splendid as theirs."
Clap clap clap!
Scholar Amides led the applause, and soon the applause filled the room.
Ward sighed: "Yes, you speak well. Amides, you truly have taught a good student, forgive my momentary discouragement, Truth is my eternal pursuit."
Mina smiled: "Me too, actually, upon careful thought, the appearance of the Ash Core has saved our path."
"If Spiritual Crystals continue to weaken, we would have no weapons worth using, and the path to Truth would be interrupted, but now, we have an excellent opportunity, the Ash Core will provide us with endless possibilities."
"If we develop it to the limit, we can create incredibly powerful constructs, and if we further thoroughly understand its principles, we will create Ash Cores a thousand times stronger."
"That’s our advantage, at that time, the torrent of steel will engulf the dark monsters!"
As soon as the words fell, prolonged applause rang out among the fallen Constructs.
