Chapter 865: Chapter 469: The Tragedy of God_4

Rod’s heart was filled with ecstasy; he increased the force and desperately attacked.

But moments later, the flesh on the Ancient God Heragotos suddenly began to heal itself; the black blood reversed its course into the body, large patches of flesh regrew, even the pus-filled blisters swelled anew.

Its soul was intact, seemingly unharmed.

"What?"

Rod couldn’t believe his eyes.

"What’s going on?"

The Book of Knowledge shouted, "It’s the ability of the Ancient God of Flesh Rebirth; part of its characteristics are still retained in its remaining body!"

Rod’s heart sank, knowing that the situation was dire.

Indeed, after another quarter-hour of bombardment, the Ancient God of Flesh Rebirth reverted to its original form once more.

The quarter-hour of attacks had been completely in vain.

Even worse, there was no visible depletion of its soul; clearly, such a recovery was a trivial matter for it.

What now?

Use the Spirit Realm Strike?

However, seeing the enormous form of the Ancient God of Flesh Rebirth, a single Spirit Realm Strike might not resolve the issue.

The joy had completely vanished from Rod’s heart; continuing this way, he would never be able to kill Heragotos, and once Heragotos plundered a Strong Source from the Sea of Source, or simply launched a powerful counterattack, defeat was inevitable.

After another quarter-hour of bombardment, encountering the same issue, Rod knew that defeating this monster with a Light Cannon alone was utterly impossible.

The Book of Knowledge shouted urgently, "Master, quickly use High-Level Soul Ashes and Spirit Realm Strike; we still have hope!"

Rod hesitated; both High-Level Soul Ashes and Spirit Realm Strike required Divinity.

Even if used, achieving a good effect would be difficult.

Another denser meteor shower surged forth; Rod manipulated a space bubble to narrowly dodge it.

The Book of Knowledge shouted anxiously, "Master, what are you waiting for? Most of the Ancient God of Flesh Rebirth’s power is in the Sea of Source; this is the best opportunity we have. If it truly plunders a set of Strong Source, we’re finished."

Rod felt some hesitation; he wanted to try it, perhaps it would have an extraordinary effect on it.

However, these 20 points of Divinity were originally intended for Starry Sky City.

What to do?

Most importantly, Rod didn’t believe a single Spirit Realm Strike, or summoning the Dark Stars’ Spiritual Body, could defeat this terrifying monster.

But, besides this, what other means did he have?

In the Spirit Realm, space cannot be deduced by common sense; distances are far greater than they appear, rendering many of his Dream Creations unusable.

What to do?

Rod’s brain spun rapidly, countless thoughts flashed by.

Suddenly, one thought lingered in his mind.

The problem he faced now was insufficient offensive power.

He needed incredibly strong destructive power to kill this monster born from the remains of the Ancient God within a quarter-hour.

Lily!

Rod suddenly thought of her name!

"Chaos Fire" is precisely her characteristic.

Before Lily’s death, she was the Guardian the Royal City had high hopes for; her characteristics had extremely strong destructive power.

It’s said that until turned to ash by "Chaos Fire," the fire would never extinguish.

Alright!

That’s her then!

"Book, help me control it!"

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Awaken Lily!"

"No! It’s useless! Lily is merely a Transcendent, and the Spiritual Body of the Eternal Statue can only fight within the Dream Realm; they are guardians of the Dream Realm and cannot leave it..."

Rod ignored it; for some reason, his intuition was certain that this method would work.

He quickly exited the Light Platform and rushed to the Soul Altar, swiftly starting to sacrifice souls.

A "Great Soul" comprises roughly several million to tens of millions of souls, along with several thousand spiritual points. Awakening Lily would require a billion souls and 100,000 spirituality—he currently had only over 500 million souls and over 10,000 spirituality, needing at least 70-80 soul sacrifices to meet the requirement.

Luckily, he had harvested quite a few "Great Souls" recently, otherwise, it would be troublesome now.

Rod sacrificed 80 Great Souls as fast as he could, gaining a total of 530 million souls, 110,000 spirituality, along with some Soul Trait Blocks and a substantial amount of Soul Residue.

Then, he took another Colorful Dream and hurried to Lily’s statue.

She held her hands gently, her face adorned with a beautiful smile, her eyes filled with carefree laughter.

Rod gently placed the Colorful Dream into the statue’s hands, and the peculiar multicolored light instantly merged into the statue. Two massive ribbons floated from the Obelisk, sending 1 billion Soul Without Spirit and 100,000 spirituality into the statue.

Lily’s statue emitted intense light; the pristine statue gradually became lively, her agile eyes seemed to twinkle and roll.

In that instant, Rod felt the statue come alive, something briefly intersecting with him, but in the next moment, he realized it was just an illusion as Lily’s statue remained unchanged, as before.

"Fa...failed? No, that’s not right..."

Rod immediately sensed something was different; he felt Lily within his soul, her head tilted, waterfall-like hair cascading down, as if greeting him.

"Hehe, little Rod, we meet again. How are you?"

The voice disappeared in an instant, as if it were merely an illusion.

Yet at that moment, Rod fully understood what was happening.

His figure flashed as he returned to the House of God, pushing aside the Book of Knowledge with both hands pressing onto the Light Platform.
