According to the ratio, at least 70 more Root Origins under human control can be produced.

And the Pure Star Source, Pure Star Marrow, and Light Stone, the elements of the three Ascension Ceremonies, have accumulated to as many as 210 pieces, and continue to grow at a rate of 10 to 15 pieces per week. Rod sometimes conducts the Star Source Ceremony in the Dream Realm, condensing more Pure Star Sources, allowing Trolian to additionally produce Star Source Potions.

Although the Ascension Ceremony is important, its threshold is also quite high. Unless there are special reasons, it generally requires at least the status of Monarch to perform this ceremony.

Warriors who do not reach this threshold need Star Source Potions, Star Marrow Potions, and Light Stone Solvents, these Soul Potions, to enhance themselves.

Currently, Bossivale has basically organized an effective promotion route, cultivating below Commander using regular Spiritual Energy Potions or Soul Potions.

As one approaches Commander or reaches it, they can use Star Source Potions, Star Marrow Potions, and Light Stone Solvents to enhance themselves according to their characteristics.

Upon reaching Monarch, they can continue to use these three major potions until they step into the threshold of the Ascension Ceremony.

The Ascension Ceremony has 3 to 7 rounds. Generally, those with good aptitude require only 3 rounds or fewer to step into the realm of the Great Monarch. After undergoing the True King Ceremony, they can become a True King. A few special Life of Man, without needing the True King Ceremony, can directly step into the True King Domain.

This new system is quite clear. Bossivale has considered various special situations, with detailed classifications and adjustments, making Rod feel a false impression that by following the system step by step, True Kings could be mass-produced.

The legendary True King in Trolian does not seem very difficult. Of course, this might not be a real True King, because a complete Root Origin is 25 pieces. They may be quasi-True Kings, but even so, it remains a significant achievement.

As long as they get through the Long Night, Trolian will have an incredibly bright future.

However, realizing such a future is not simple. Rod calculated that he collected a total of 97 Divine Stones from the Human Demon Tomb, and although the consumption of Divine Stones is only half that of the three elements, there is no way to create more, and it is certainly not enough.

This is likely the only resource lacking.

We hope when Alan returns, he will bring back enough Divine Stones.

This is also their biggest concern. Just as the expedition was underway, the Long Night descended. They don’t know if Alan will be affected in the Dark World.

Additionally, they collected 150 pieces of "Divine Flesh" from the Human Demon Tomb. It is composed of the elements of the three Ascension Ceremonies and an unknown element. Once restored, Trolian will acquire a significant amount of vital resources, especially that unknown element, which may bring unexpected surprises.

Rod is quite looking forward to that day.

The strength of Trolian is the strength of the Dream Realm. As the former Master of Dreams said, with more powerful allies, he can contend with the Black Fog.

However, events developed far beyond Rod’s expectations. Five days later, the Long Night did not end; instead, it became even more oppressive.

The Source Black Fog is already close to the edge of Trolian, and the incredibly dense darkness has surrounded the isolated Fire Kingdom. Looking out from Trolian’s boundary, they seem to be floating in endless dark space, or falling into the abyss of the universe. Countless Black Fog Symbionts emerged from the darkness, launching more ferocious attacks on them.

The situation became more severe, and Trolian had to throw all its strength into the battle. All promotions and cultivation were halted. Those that could be completed in a short time were already done; the remaining require longer time and would need Rod or a True King’s assistance to complete.

Clearly, under such enormous pressure, there is no tolerance for such freedoms.

Even Qingyu had to join the battle frequently, and fighting on two fronts rapidly increased the consumption of Holy Fire.

Fortunately, Rod’s [Glutton] can devour the ashes of fire, producing Firewood, so the strength of the Holy Fire was not diminished.

But the consumption is too great, which is detrimental to Trolian’s future, especially since Qingyu has not fully mastered the power of Holy Fire; her energy use is too high, far exceeding the King.

Time!

Rod clearly understands.

The key to everything is time!

Qingyu needs time, he needs time, everyone in Trolian needs time.

But the problem now is, they don’t have time. Under the Long Night, all terror and pollution are magnified countless times. Without the illumination of fire, without the illumination of the Light Country, in the Source Black Fog, the Black Fog Symbionts are like maniacs, and aside from Rod and a few others, no one can withstand them.

Fortunately, Tai Luo completed the promotion, otherwise, the current situation would be unimaginable.

Relying on the illumination of the Light Country and the strengths of Rod, Olivia, and Dark Moon, Trolian barely stabilized the situation. The four cities stand as firm as rocks, and although the defenses of the Star Marrow Altar are nearly ineffective, they are still effective against ordinary monsters. They just need to hunt the Black Fog Symbionts that make it past the Black Fog Great Wall.

Though difficult, they know the Long Night will eventually pass, and the dawn belonging to Trolian will ultimately arrive.
