The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1597 - 755: Ascending to True King (Part 2)

Chapter 1597: Chapter 755: Ascending to True King (Part 2)

Rod nodded, took the [Blood of Rebirth], and arrived at the Soul Wilderness.

After a long flight, he finally reached the outermost edge of the Soul Wilderness. It was boundlessly open and desolate, with nothing but dead silence in the darkness. The ashes of the giant stars were separated by vast distances, and the enormous bonfire of the [Eye of Divine] was just a dim and blurred speck of light in Rod’s vision.

But the darkness here was different from the one outside; it was a lightless black, serene and peaceful, like a mother’s embrace. The outside darkness was twisted and terrifying, filled with a ferocious aggression that instilled fear.

The ashes of the [Sacrifice] lay quietly beneath such darkness. They did not appear large, at least much smaller than those of the [Eye of Divine]. The ashes were just an ordinary gray, with nothing unusual about them.

However, Rod knew this was the key star in determining whether he could ascend to the status of True King.

Extending his hand, he placed three Divine Souls, nine Root Origins, 900 Soul Firewoods, 900 Soul Flowers, and the source material [Blood of Rebirth] into the ashes one by one.

The ashes began to burn, and crimson flames slowly rose, like a red cloth being unfurled by the wind.

Rod acutely sensed the tremor of the Sea of Source, and creases appeared in the space—those were shock waves from the Sea of Source.

As the stars ignited, the quantification also began simultaneously.

The transparent ripples rapidly expanded, engulfing heaven and earth. Looking around, he felt as if he had arrived at a pond amidst a storm; the ripples in space almost covered the entire Soul Wilderness.

"Is this the quantification of a giant star?"

Rod couldn’t help but exclaim. This was an unprecedented sensation, unmatched by the quantification of any other star at any moment.

"The birth of the Root Origin is indeed extraordinary, even the Sea of Source is overwhelmed!"

The voice of the Book of Knowledge echoed by his ear.

"Master, the Root Origin has always been there. It does not birth, nor does it perish, and it does not cause the Sea of Source to tremble. But a Root Origin controlled by an entity does. The birth of any Root Origin within a soul will cause a massive tremor in the Sea of Source, especially one as powerful as when its magnitude reaches nine."

Rod asked in surprise, "Why is the Root Origin controlled by the soul so different?"

The Book of Knowledge replied in a deep voice, "You must understand, Source Law is the rule of this world, the authority of the universe, the law of all things. It operates invisibly, inherently chaotic and void, infinitely tending towards chaos. But being under the control of will, it is different, like an orderly being controlling power that originally belonged to nature, tending towards a higher order, contrary to natural laws. It will face enormous resistance. The stronger the source one possesses, the greater the resistance, like reversing the flow of rivers. The more rivers flow backward, the more Spiritual Energy is needed. Without Spiritual Energy to sustain, the water will fall."

Rod frowned, "So that means only by having powerful Spiritual Energy can one possess strong Source Law."

The Book of Knowledge corrected, "Powerful Spiritual Energy comes from a strong Soul. A strong Soul is what the Root Origin requires, for the Soul is the foundation of everything."

Rod realized, "No wonder the Ancient Gods need the Divine Origin Base. It turns out their Souls aren’t strong enough to support the Root Origin."

He suddenly came to a realization that it wasn’t just the Ancient Gods—True Kings were the same. The Ancient Gods used Divine Source Material, while True Kings relied on human fate. He’s like the tip of a pyramid; although he stands at the top of humanity, he still requires support from below.

A castle in the air does not exist.

"What about the Dream Realm?" he asked urgently.

The Book of Knowledge calmly gave an answer he expected.

"Stars."

Sure enough.

Rod clenched his fist. Regardless of the path, regardless of any special existence, to become a power above Monarch Level, one must possess a kind of carrier to hold up the Root Origin, or the Soul will collapse.

He looked at the intense crimson flames before him, realizing the peculiar and unique nature of the dream stars.

It was equivalent to the coexistence of Divine Source Material and human fate.

The flames before him had already obscured all of Rod’s vision, resembling a towering wall standing in the heavens and earth, erect in the Soul Wilderness.

Even redder letters dripped and cascaded from within the flames.

[Sacrifice]

[State: Primordial]

[Position: Sea of Source]

[Star Energy: Sacrifice]

[Strength: 900 million]

[Source: 300]

[Description: I awaken amidst decline and reignite from ashes.]

——

[Sacrifice]: Offer blood to the heavens and earth, awaken the supreme will throughout eternity.

——

The text of the [Sacrifice] wasn’t long, but each word made Rod feel his Soul screeching.

With a Strength of 900 million, it surpassed the total of his current Soul Strength. Converted to Spiritual Power Strength, it was 1.8 million kilocas. In other words, his Spiritual Power Strength doubled in an instant.

Moreover, with the boost from the Song of Life, kindling this star, his Spiritual Power Strength surged close to 2 million.

Rod clenched both his hands, feeling an unprecedented power rise in his Soul, as if a blazing red-hot iron were spreading through his Soul Body. His Soul was burning, blood flowing faster, and with each heartbeat, a hot breath surged throughout his limbs and bones.

This is what a powerful Soul feels like! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

What was even more terrifying to him was the Source Energy that soared to 300.

Bear in mind, in the Dream Realm so far, even after igniting so many stars, there was only just over 100 Source Energy, and now it had tripled at once.
