The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1608 - 760: Ascension Ceremony

The strange light flickered before his eyes, a familiar sense of summoning surged forward, and Rod instantly recognized it as a Dream Fragment.

It was an irregular piece, lying quietly in the center of the container, like a shard of light.

"Dream Fragment!"

The Book of Knowledge shouted.

"How is this possible?"

Rod was also incredulous. According to the Pope’s last words, it was a relic of the Ancient Epoch, one of the legacies left behind by a powerful kingdom that had perished countless years ago. Due to its extremely remote location and the container’s anti-prophecy and anti-detection sealing, it was never found, even during the later prosperous Fire Epoch.

But wasn’t the shattering of the dream at the end of the Fire Epoch?

Could it be that the shattered Dream Fragment flew into this place?

Rod glanced around; the container showed no damage, but that couldn’t explain it, as the Dream Fragment was not a physical entity but a special existence between material and illusion. The shattered Dream Fragment could appear in any location, and of course, it could also appear in this container.

Such a coincidence was truly hard to believe, but Rod didn’t plan to investigate further; after all, reclaiming a Dream Fragment, the reason was not important.

He happily reached out his hand, and the moment he touched it, the Dream Fragment pierced into his soul like a burning iron rod, a strange pattern appearing on the back of his hand.

"Not bad."

Rod felt great, lowering his head to inspect the container.

After the Dream Fragment was absorbed, the other substances in the container emerged from the shadows: On the left was a mass of stone seemingly condensed from light, on the right shimmered an enigmatic liquid with deep luster, above resembled frozen starlight, below were stone blocks akin to gold.

Rod widened his eyes; within this container lay many Light Stones, Pure Star Source, and Pure Star Marrow, each type amounted to at least ten pieces.

And if he wasn’t mistaken, the stone blocks at the bottom were the legendary "Divine Stones!"

"One, two, three... nine, ten, my heavens, there are ten Divine Stones!"

Rod could hardly believe his eyes; creating a Divine Stone requires 100 points of Divinity and one piece of highest-quality Raw Stone, so these ten Divine Stones alone would need 1000 points of Divinity.

Meaning, within this container, solely the Divine Stones are worth 1000 points of Divinity.

Not to mention the Light Stones, Pure Star Source, and Pure Star Marrow.

"Master, the Ascension Ceremony can now be performed!"

The Book of Knowledge shouted in his mind.

"At least two rounds can be conducted!"

Rod’s joy was beyond control; without a doubt, this would bring him much Divinity.

It seemed he could soon ignite the Great Star [Glutton].

Rod swiftly transported all elements back to the dream. These rare materials with ultra-high Spirituality are easily corrupted when exposed to the outside world.

"Master, take back the container as well."

The Book of Knowledge urged anxiously.

"I can sense that this container is very special; its sealing effect is infinitely close to the dream’s Storage, with anti-prophecy and anti-detection characteristics akin to the dream itself. Even the materials used to make it are unknown; I must study it well."

Rod nodded, also feeling the container was very peculiar, perhaps hiding some secret, and casually sent it back to the dream.

Thus, the relics of the Black Forest were completely cleared, and this inheritance belonging to humanity was reclaimed.

As Rod was about to return to the Royal City, countless shadows surged around him, innumerable corrupted giant cats emerging from the darkness, their eyes turned blood-red, Spiritual Energy in a frenzy.

It seemed the container was the reason for their presence here; taking it caused them all to fall into madness.

But at this moment, Rod was eager to hurry back to the Royal City and had no mood to waste time with them, snorting heavily, and the Spiritual Energy of eight million moments instantly surged, an invisible Soul Field rapidly unfolded, [Dark Devourer]’s [Destroying Darkness] instantaneously reaching peak state, and with overwhelming destructive force obliterated all the giant cats’ souls.

Without even a wail, dense black dust rose into the air, countless gray lines merging into Rod’s soul, yet he didn’t spare a glance, his body breaking through space, swiftly departing, with only dozens of gray lines left, crossing the sky, trailing behind Rod.

This time, it was truly a super harvest.

Rod had never been in such a good mood; during the flight, he returned to the dream, trying to let the Dream Fragment return to its place.

But after a long walk, he couldn’t find its location, so Rod had to ask, "Book, which dream building is this fragment, I can’t find it?"

The Book of Knowledge, enthralled with researching the strange container, hadn’t even glanced at the Dream Fragment, and upon hearing, immediately raised its head.

"Uh... isn’t this the Sea of Flowers?"

Sea of Flowers?

Rod was momentarily stunned, then he suddenly realized, almost forgetting that dream building. Strictly speaking, the "Sea of Flowers" was not a dream building but a piece of land behind the House of God, reportedly excellent for planting Spirituality flora.

However, its area was really small; although yield was high, it was far less than Trolian’s current large-scale planting, and when converted for humanity’s improvement, it was negligible, thus forgotten by Rod.
