Chapter 658: Chapter 388 True Human Hero_2

The Book of Knowledge was not happy. It believed that all this had happened because it had not restored more souls, letting that worthless puppet take the lead and steal the limelight.

Silently, it resolved that as long as it obtained the Dream Fragments from the Light Country, no matter how many it restored, it would consume twice as much as that worthless puppet!

Rod did not know what the Book of Knowledge was thinking, but he anxiously stared at the red light.

About a quarter of an hour later, the red light gradually subsided, and the red letters on the prophecy surface appeared.

As expected, the countdown had shortened!

Initially, it was 33 days, then after another 9 days, it should have been 24 days.

Now, only 12 days were left.

A sense of urgency about the invasion suddenly overwhelmed Rod, and he could not help but clench his fists.

The Book of Knowledge spoke first, "Master, do not panic. What you need to do next is to fully enhance your strength, settle the gains from this period, and transform them into actual power."

Rod nodded and asked the crucial question, "How should I use Divinity?"

The Book of Knowledge pondered for a moment.

"Spirit Realm Strike cannot target anything inside the Dream Realm. We can only strike it at the moment the invasion occurs, maybe three to four times."

"The Divine Blade, consuming 30 points of Divinity, has a strong effect against the Black Fog Symbiont; it is necessary."

"In addition, consuming Divinity can significantly enhance the power of the Dream Realm and suppress the creatures like never before."

"To be safe, we need to keep at least 250 points of Divinity to counter this invasion."

Rod’s heart sank; the number was much higher than he had anticipated.

If too much Divinity was used to combat enemies, his growth would slow down.

One should know that igniting another Great Star "Truth" requires ten Soul Firewoods, and igniting the "Soul Burner" also needs nine Soul Firewoods.

Whether it’s Spirit Realm Strike, "Divine Sense," "Frost Blue," "Resurrection Stone," or "Great Soul Ashes," all require Divinity.

Though 290 points of Divinity might seem like a lot, it could be used up in an instant when actually utilized.

At that moment, the puppet suddenly said, "Master, by the time of the invasion, my existing souls should be fully restored, and I can withstand more Divinity. My combat stance will also be stronger."

The Book of Knowledge twisted a page discontentedly: "That would make it 255 points; with that, we would only have 35 points of Divinity left to use at our discretion."

Rod’s heart sank. After he had broken through a certain limit of his Spiritual Energy, he could only ignite fully state stars.

The circles he had frequented in the past were no longer accessible, but in his current circle, 35 points of Divinity weren’t enough to ignite any stars.

That meant, before the invasion ended, it was impossible for him to obtain the tenth star.

The puppet calmly said, "Master, although you cannot ignite new stars, you can enhance your combat strength, master more skills and combat tactics, obtain powerful items and resources from humans, and find more Dream Fragments."

"Right," the Book of Knowledge surprisingly did not contradict it, "If we can easily eliminate the invaders, we can save a lot of Divinity."

Rod nodded, understanding its point.

The only thing he needed to do next was to become stronger.

He glanced at the Obelisk’s pinnacle where the numbers displayed:

Soul Strength: 1502000

Soul Stars: 9

Humanity: 21.91 million

Divinity: 290

Soul Without Spirit: 510 million

Obelisk: 1 Source

Soul Altar: 3 extremely Great Souls, 21 Great Souls (including 3 Sources), 123 very Strong Souls (including 2 Sources), 1815 other souls

Spirituality: 51201

Storage: 10 Nightmare Fuels, 119891 pieces of Soul Residue, 6 Flowers of Humanity, et cetera.

Special Items: 8 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Undying Spirit, 1 Twisted Balance, 3 Light Bells

——

Flowers of Humanity are a bit scarce... The Star Mark has been used too much, huh.

Thinking, Rod’s soul fell from the Dream Realm, returning to the material world.

The first thing he needed to do was undergo the Spiritual Energy enhancement ceremony.

It’s always a problem when Spiritual Energy leaks like this, not only causing significant damage but also being extremely detrimental to his soul. What irritated Rod the most was that the constant emanation of Spiritual Energy waves made him as noticeable as a light bulb; wherever he went, people would cover their eyes and shout.

"So dazzling! Whose Spiritual Energy is that?"

"Have you had enough? My eyes are blinded!"

And Doomsday believers could always find him because of this, presenting all sorts of indescribable things to him in unimaginable ways.

This had become Rod’s greatest annoyance during this period.

The Royal City did not take this matter seriously; they believed Rod was well-tested in the sewers and not afraid of a few bits of feces; the attempt by Doomsday believers to contaminate Rod’s soul and cause it to darken was bound to fail.

Therefore, they did not allocate valuable manpower and resources to specifically protect Rod from disturbances.

Nevertheless, under Rod’s pressure, the Head of the Internal Affairs Court, Lucian, was still doing his best to hunt down the Doomsday believers, but they were dizzyingly confusing in the sewers, making little progress.

Rod had no time to pay attention to these flies; getting rid of them was the best outcome.

The Tenth Level Spiritual Energy enhancement ceremony was a highly advanced ritual that took a very long time to prepare, but given Rod’s unique circumstances, the Royal City had specially approved an expedited procedure.

At least 30,000 logistical personnel were specifically working for this event, and when Rod proposed holding the ceremony, it was already prepared.
