The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 862 - 469: The Tragedy of God

Chapter 862: Chapter 469: The Tragedy of God

This is the fifth high Spiritual Realm region Rod learned about, following the Abyss of Darkness, the River of Eternal Death, the City of Chaos, and the Light Country.

"Book, how did their names originate?" Rod asked curiously.

The Book of Knowledge casually replied, "This is knowledge passed down from ancient times. It is said that these twelve regions were formed from the primordial Source Law of the Sea of Source when the world began to take shape. The Ancient Gods were originally born in these twelve regions."

Rod hesitated for a moment and asked, "I remember there are 107 types of Primordial Laws, with time, space, and vitality being the three main pillars."

"Yes."

The Book of Knowledge explained.

"But the Source Laws do not exist independently; they are usually contained within a large collection. The Sea of Source is the largest collection, containing all the Source Laws. Within it are countless smaller collections, and the high Spiritual Realms are formed by the most fundamental and powerful twelve collections. However, these collections later shattered, and the concept ceased to exist."

Rod immediately understood and could not help but ask, "Why did they shatter?"

The Book of Knowledge shook its head: "No one knows. This ancient secret has been buried in the dust of history. Some believe it is the cause of the world’s disorder and the birth of the Black Fog, but there is no conclusive evidence, and it remains just speculation."

Rod silently noted the words of the Book of Knowledge, planning to seek answers in the future.

"How much time do we have before we enter the Chaotic Sea?"

"Two clock hours."

"So soon?" Rod asked in surprise. He remembered flying for several days at the borders of two regions before.

"The speed has changed."

The Book of Knowledge proudly replied, "Previously, the empty bubble relied solely on inertia, occasionally gaining spirituality from its master, but the acceleration was minimal. The Source Energy Propulsion Ring on the empty bubble was almost idle. Now our Source Energy has reached 37, and the bubble’s speed is dozens of times faster than before."

Rod glanced at the eight stars shining in the dreamscape night sky and smiled, "Having Source Energy is indeed good."

"Of course, when the dreamscape gains more Source Energy, you’ll see a completely different dreamscape."

Rod nodded, eagerly anticipating that moment.

According to the information obtained by the Book of Knowledge, the gathering point of the God of Flesh Rebirth’s remains is at the boundary of the Chaotic Sea, with the total journey taking approximately three clock hours.

To prepare for the upcoming battle of the Ancient Gods, Rod lay in the rocking chair for two clock hours, spending the last clock hour organizing his items,

as there were truly too many items piled up in the dreamscape, sometimes even he couldn’t sort them out. Many structures also needed periodic checks and tests, otherwise, it would be troublesome to discover problems when needed.

Rod first inspected the House of God. This small house was undoubtedly the most important structure in the dreamscape aside from the Obelisk, containing many useful items like the Stone Platform, bookshelf, Light Platform, Star Core, Divine Mirror, and rocking chair.

He then went to check the Soul Altar, which was equally important. Besides collecting sacrifices and burning souls, it provided Rod with the Eye of the Soul, Soul Blast, and a sealing ability that hadn’t been used for a long time.

Afterwards, Rod continued to inspect the Star Square, the Evil Ghost Stone Tank, Sun Tower, and the Dream Factory.

Notably, the Sun Tower consumed over three billion souls yet remained incomplete. The Book of Knowledge remarked that, in any case, with the current Source Energy of the dreamscape, it couldn’t support the Sun Tower in its complete state, so they suspended its repair.

The Evil Ghost King in the Evil Ghost Stone Tank was finally about to resurrect. After devouring two Super Souls, it revealed a new ability, with star-like patterns appearing on the membrane of the egg.

The Book of Knowledge stated that although the soul of the Great Star Priest was already broken, it had long been immersed in star power and retained a portion of it. The new Evil Ghost King might inherit this part of the ability.

Moreover, from the previous soul, Gregor the Chief Judge, it also inherited resurrection and recovery abilities.

The new Evil Ghost King would be much stronger.

Rod was both surprised and delighted, hurriedly asking, "Can it continue to gain new abilities?"

The Book of Knowledge answered, "It’s possible, but it must die again and be reborn. As it grows stronger, the resources needed for resurrection will greatly increase."

Thinking about the resources consumed in the resurrection process of the Evil Ghost King, Rod felt a slight anxiety. Dream resources could not be said to be abundant now, so he had to put this idea aside for the time being.

Then, Rod proceeded to the plaza of the Eternal Statues.

This vast expanse of white jade ground remained empty, with only the statues of Theodore and Lily standing.

Rod remembered Theodore once saying that he might return when the stars came back, but now Theodore’s statue showed no change, no matter how he tried to interact with it, there was no response.

Instead, Lily’s statue shimmered softly, the luster on the jade-like statue radiant and gentle like water.

Rod gently touched the statue, and a message entered his consciousness.

—The light of the past flickers, the trajectory once traveled emerges. This is her, and also not her.

A Colorful Dream is needed, 1 billion souls, 100,000 spirituality.

After reading it, Rod felt both joy and concern. Joy as Divinity was not necessary, concern as the consumption was high. His souls and spirituality were insufficient, requiring additional soul sacrifices.
