The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1595 - 754: Ascending to True King (Part 1)

"To those who come later, thank you for releasing two tormented souls. I am the Spider God Nakya, and the other soul is the Evil God Baiyatris. We are subordinate gods from the Gray Age. The black mist has engulfed the world, submerged the land and seas, tainted the Spirit Realm and the Starry Sky, shrouding the sun, moon, and stars. From the Endless Sea to the Edge Continent, from Godoyin Sacred Mountain to the Dark Taboo Place, everything is filled with terrifying and twisted curses. All that was orderly has been corrupted and destroyed; divine power, starlight, holy trees, dragon energy, thunder, ice, earth, life—none of these forces could halt its spread. The great supreme ones have fallen, and the strong supreme ones have been corrupted and twisted."

"In the battle against this terrifying and twisted power, we failed."

"The black mist is invincible."

"The only way to survive is to escape, to flee to the space between dimensions, to the edge of the universe, to the deep void. Thus, I built the Star Marrow Altar. Its Spirit’s Curtain can isolate a new universe, a small universe relative to the grand universe. Only by leaving this world can we avoid the pollution of the black mist."

"But it is not yet perfect. Its Spirit Core is the soul weapon of us seven subordinate gods but hasn’t reached the level of a divine artifact. Its Spirit Space is just an ordinary plane fragment, with many missing parts, unable to exist independently outside the world."

"I have left all the information about it here, hoping that one day someone could perfect it completely."

"This is the last hope for the Orderer, the ark of salvation for all living beings. Pay heed to everything."

What follows is all about the Star Marrow Altar, including its construction process, initial conception, all modifications, and subsequent advancements.

The entire data is exhaustive. Even with Rod’s current wisdom, it took him several clock hours to finish reading it.

By this point, he finally understood all the structures and principles of the Star Marrow Altar, and couldn’t help but marvel that the Spider Ancient God Nakya was truly a genius. His research on spiritual energy and space had reached an unimaginable height. If given enough time and resources, perhaps the ark of salvation he envisioned could be completed.

However, Rod didn’t hold much hope for this. Even if the Star Marrow Altar evolved into its complete form according to his vision and truly detached from the grand universe, it might still not escape the invasion of the black mist.

Moreover, choosing such a path would inevitably mean abandoning many people. Rod had visited the inner space of the Star Marrow Altar and found it could barely hold ten million people, excluding food, water, and air. The vast majority of Trolian would be abandoned, which is unacceptable.

But this information was not useless. While Rod wouldn’t transform the Star Marrow Altar into the ark of salvation, he could enhance the strength of its Spirit’s Curtain, making Trolian safer and able to accommodate more land.

"Very well, let’s record it then."

Rod flicked his finger, and spiritual energy traced countless lines in the air, presenting all this information and handing it over to the Book of Knowledge to record.

The Book of Knowledge was quite delighted; nothing made it happier than new knowledge. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"What a brilliant structure, a genius conception, but it’s still incomplete. I must study it thoroughly and complete it."

Rod nodded, extracting the two soul weapons from their souls.

These were the energy cores of the Star Marrow Altar. Inserting them into the core of the altar would enhance its strength and expand the range of the Spirit’s Curtain.

Now there are only two pieces in the altar. Adding these two makes four. Finding three more will complete the set, allowing the Star Marrow Altar to operate at full power, which is also the foundation for its next enhancement.

"Good, the matter of the Star Marrow Altar is finally settled."

Rod gently exhaled and then turned his gaze to the message left by the Spider God.

From this message, Nakya’s despair seemed to transcend the river of time, rushing forward, and even the age they were in was called the "Gray Age." The black mist ruled over every area it could, seemingly indistinguishable from the present time.

Rod slightly furrowed his brow, keenly noticing a problem:

"Book, if the black mist dominated everything by the end of the Ancient Epoch, how did the Fire Epoch come to be?"

The Book of Knowledge pondered, "I don’t know. Perhaps some kind of turning point occurred, such as the birth of a top-tier powerhouse."

Rod instantly thought of that person, the legendary pioneer of the Fire Epoch, the True King who guarded humanity for two thousand years—the Holy King Yasi Oushenas.

A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind as he excitedly said, "Book, I understand now. During the Ancient Epoch, the existence of fire was definitely unknown to the masses. They fought the black mist with various forces but all failed. In the end, they found the original Holy Fire, which allowed them to resist the black mist and survive. The existence of fire also led them to discover a way to surpass the Ancient God—the King of Fire. Thus, a super genius, the Holy King Yasi Oushenas, was born."

"From then on, the path of the gods had ended, and the path of kings began. The river of time surged forward, moving from the age of gods to the era of man!"
