The mysteries that had always shrouded his mind like a dark cloud were dispelled, and the truth of the world came crashing down. It was as if he stood atop a mountain tens of thousands of yards high, with an endless abyss beneath his feet. A single misstep could shatter him to pieces.

"But..."

Rod struggled to open his mouth and asked.

"If all these stars come from those incredibly great beings, why are some stars so weak and others so strong?"

Royeger said softly, "The Soul Wilderness is a special space built upon time and spiritual mist. All the remnants of great existences gather here, forming the ashes of stars. They are once great powers, indelible brilliance. Even if only a trace remains, it will ignite new flames... This is the process of lighting stars."

"The amount of accumulated ash determines the star’s strength. The weak stars have simply gathered less ash, while the strong stars have gathered more."

"But whether a weak star, a Great Star, or a Giant Star, they all come from quasi-kings or quasi-gods."

Finally, Rod understood the origins of the Soul Wilderness and the ashes of stars. The descriptions on the stars were indeed the epitaphs of those great beings.

The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages eagerly and asked, "Why?"

Royeger said solemnly.

"A Primordial being who has stepped into eternity has the power to destroy heaven and earth. His might radiates to all dimensions, whether it’s the ancient river of time, the mystical spiritual mist, or all spaces and positions under the starry sky and above the void. They will change under his influence, and these changes are his echoes, his residual ashes."

"Even if his corpse and soul have dissipated, even if the Eternal Square and Time Travel cannot find a trace in the river of time, they cannot erase him. All his great deeds will not fade with the flow of time, and his spirit will not dissipate due to his fall."

"This is the Primordial being, closest to a True King. Only such a being can leave such indelible marks, while lesser beings fade with time."

Rod looked at his star. Even a weak star like Frost Blue or Spirit Boat had once had a master who was an unimaginably great being.

Suddenly, he realized, no wonder the Giant God Power could ascend from a Great Star to a Giant Star; it must be because he absorbed the Divine Sword formed by the residual soul of the God of Giants, which is its ashes.

"Royeger!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Rod suddenly had a flash of insight and thought of a possibility that made him tremble.

"Can stars ascend?"

Royeger gave a faint smile, "As expected of you, master, you did think of that. Stars can, of course, ascend. Essentially, all stars are Giant Stars. As long as you find the corresponding star’s residual ash, you can elevate the star’s position. Additionally, stronger dream realms can collect more ash. Once you retrieve the Spirit of Life and Spirit of Death, the speed will be faster."

Rod asked anxiously, "Above Giant Stars, is there nothing?"

Royeger shook his head slightly, "Giant Stars are the limit. The Primordial Law can only be condensed by yourself."

The Book of Knowledge murmured, "But the Primordial Law has already shattered and turned into the Sea of Source... Can it really be condensed?"

Royeger smiled faintly, "The Primordial Law can certainly be re-condensed. In the Ancient Epoch, the first to take this step was the Red War God, the God of Giants Beakleus. He was the first Eternal. In the Fire Epoch, the first to take this step was the Holy King, Yasi Oushenas. He was the first Primordial King..."

Rod’s heart trembled. Although he already knew the strength of the Red War God and the Holy King, he hadn’t realized they were that powerful. He eagerly asked, "So how do I condense it? Is it enough to obtain 25 Root Origins? But the Source Ascension in the Obelisk seems to lack the Primordial Law."

Royeger glanced at the sky and said softly, "I can’t mention any information about reuniting the Primordial Law, or the veil of secrets will shatter immediately, and my final Residual Spirit will vanish."

"Final Residual Spirit?" Rod was startled, but it was expected. He already knew that any act by a being that transcends time would face tremendous backlash.

Royeger nodded slightly, "I usually need to gather centuries of strength to make a slight impact on reality. Most of the time, I use this strength to battle the Dark Spirit. Throughout the Fire Epoch, I did this, but the result was still the extinction of humanity. So, in the Dark Epoch, I changed my approach, helping humanity more. In Yanuo, Saint Longde, Troli, and the already perished Saint Reel and Starry Kingdom, my presence has appeared."

Rod’s eyes widened, "You’ve appeared? Do you know their locations?"

Royeger showed a faint smile.

"Of course I know. The reason I appear before you this time is to tell you that the only way to overcome the crisis is to seek help from Yanuo and Saint Longde."
