The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1286 - 642: Above the Heavens

The Book of Knowledge looked at the wretched-looking Book of the Future sympathetically, saying, "Luckily the Dream Realm shielded it a bit, otherwise the whole book would have been burned."

Nearby, Asa sneered coldly, "Stop pretending. You knew well that the Dream Realm couldn’t completely fend off the backlash, deliberately forcing it to foretell a future it couldn’t see, using the hand of God to eliminate your enemies. You’ve always been so calculating, Adorlis."

The Book of Knowledge retorted angrily, "I merely operated without correction. The Dream Realm is far from its strongest state and cannot shield it from the direct backlash of perceiving the gods... My position within the Dream Realm is unshakable; do I really need these underhanded tactics?"

Asa scoffed without responding, instead spreading his arms and sighing with intoxication.

"Ah, this is divine power! How mighty! I can’t wait for the day when I grasp the power to devour divine excrement, to see what this world will have become!"

Rod ignored Asa’s musings, determined never to allow the world to be ruled by excrement if there was even a possibility. He was more concerned about what limits the divine power could achieve.

"Book, to which domain does prophecy belong?"

The Book of Knowledge understood its master’s intent and replied, "Prophecies are incredibly complex, mixed with multiple domains; but to the gods, their spirits are extraordinarily strong, strong enough to perceive the workings of this world and have some insight into its future trends."

"Of course, this sensing isn’t necessarily accurate, but still far beyond our imagination. Thus, in ancient times, there was a saying: To kill a god, another god is needed."

Rod contemplated this statement, sensing the terrifying truth it represented.

Suddenly, he deeply understood why the Pope of Saint Reel, in such a critical situation, spared no effort to banish the Awakened Blood God to the Void.

If he hadn’t done so, by the time they arrived here, Saint Reel would have already become a horrifying paradise for flesh monsters.

Rod thought to himself how crucial it was to leave Saint Reel before the God of Contaminated Blood returned to the Material World.

At the same time, he realized another problem.

"What relation does Royeger have with all of this?"

He had already learned from the mouth of Takxis that the unknown name appearing in the Source Prophecy did not represent an Ancient God, but rather a mysterious figure known as the Hidden Sage.

He walked alongside Ancient Gods yet was not an Ancient God.

But why did the God of Contaminated Blood mention his name twice? It seemed to hold great resentment towards him.

And why address him directly?

"Book... does Royeger have any connection to the Dream Realm? Could he be the former Master of Dreams?"

The Book of Knowledge shook its head slightly: "All of the Master of Dreams’ memories have been erased from both my and Aphro’s souls; there are nine Masters of Dreams listed on the stele, but currently only your name and Heigao’er’s are known. You need to find lost related history to unearth the truth from the dust."

"But where should I look?"

"Ancient Gods."

Rod’s heart chilled; indeed, it was the Ancient Gods. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He walked with the Ancient Gods; where else could he search for them but among the Ancient Gods?

All truth is hidden within the Ancient Gods.

Of course, with his current power, he was far from being a match for the Ancient Gods. He needed more divinity in order to challenge the Ancient Gods who also possessed divinity.

The God of Contaminated Blood was definitely the first on the list.

"Book."

Rod couldn’t help but ask, "Do we have anything that can counteract the power of the God of Contaminated Blood?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages, contemplating, "Currently, the God of Contaminated Blood possesses the root source related to flesh resurrection, a power many times stronger than the resurrection power of the Ancient Gods. It belongs to the active domain, and corrupted activity surely brings large-scale pollution; hence, its core must be about rebirth and pollution. The ’Ice Prison’ effectively restrains it, and the ’Goddess’ Tears’ for purification are also potent, for rebirth’s opposite is destruction, and a force that can bring about great destruction can counteract it."

Rod became lost in thought.

The "Ice Prison" had already been used; there were still several "Goddess’ Tears" left.

As for the power to cause great destruction, he immediately thought of the "Soul Multiple Melodies," and also the new Dream Creation acquired in the Ice Prison "Kales’ Soul Cannon."

But [Kales’ Soul Cannon] requires one Absolute Pure Star Marrow and 100 points of divinity.

He had the 100 points of divinity; but where was the Absolute Pure Star Marrow to be found?

At this moment, a doll suddenly spoke, saying: "A god who controls the root origin will surely simultaneously control the laws of time and space. Regarding the three pillars of the Primordial Domain, each god will surely have some involvement... Corrupted time and space will certainly carry chaos; chaotic time and space will inevitably produce afterimages. The God of Contaminated Blood may possess both projection and phantom abilities; it may not use them personally, but it could grant them to its derivatives."

Rod furrowed his brow: "Do we have a way to deal with phantoms?"

"Shield of Darkness."

The doll replied: "It is the base of the Light Stone. To stabilize the ethereal light, it must maintain an absolutely solid space; in fact, it is a mutated source material."

The Book of Knowledge looked at it with surprise: "How do you know this so clearly? I don’t even have this memory."
