The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 1795 - 823: I Will Ultimately Become the True King
Before setting out, Rod returned to the Dream Realm.
The first thing he did was feed the Book of the Future with Destiny Energy.
This guy had been starving for a while and devoured it in a single gulp.
The golden aura spread within its soul and dissolved into its spiritual body at the fastest speed.
The spiritual body of the Book of the Future is a mass of not very dense white mist; its soul body is very weak, almost transparent. The Destiny Source Law within its spiritual body is like a golden ancient tree, which became clearer after absorbing new energy, with a golden sheen flowing and flickering between branches, seemingly burning.
Almost in an instant, the Book of the Future digested this energy of destiny.
Rod exclaimed with joy: "Not bad, Asa, your recent efforts haven’t been in vain."
The Book of the Future beamed with joy and shouted, "I want more, Master, I want more!"
Rod fed it another portion of Destiny Energy, and as soon as the Book of the Future’s pages came together, it instantly digested this Destiny Energy, merging it into its soul.
Majestic and mysterious destiny power surged towards him. Rod felt clearly that the Destiny Source Law of the Book of the Future had reached the level of the Root Origin, yet the Sea of Source did not ripple at all.
"This is the source law obtained by directly digesting the source material without plundering it from the Sea of Source." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The Book of Knowledge said, pondering.
"Therefore, its Source Ascension encounters no resistance, and can naturally rise as long as the destiny source law is sufficient."
Rod was delighted at heart, for the advancement method of the Book of the Future was the most special one: consuming and digesting Destiny Energy. The more it ate, the stronger it became. Of course, this was not an easy task; if it couldn’t digest what it ate, it couldn’t continue eating.
And digesting Destiny Energy required constant honing. The Book of the Future had to continuously challenge untouchable prophecies, peek into existences it couldn’t perceive, and even pay the price of being torn apart.
The Book of the Future could digest instantly because it had paid countless prices before.
It had merely lacked Destiny Energy at the time, and was delayed for a while due to the incident with Saint Longde, so it hadn’t been able to feed.
But now was the time of harvest.
Rod fed portion after portion of Royeger’s Destiny Energy to the Book of the Future.
The Book of the Future swallowed portion after portion, and the golden aura spread within its spiritual body, the golden ancient tree rapidly growing.
This was also its uniqueness: the Destiny Source Law was imprinted in its spiritual body, while the vast majority of source laws were imprinted in the soul body. The Book of the Future had little soul body, thus no spiritual energy, but it could use the power of destiny without any hindrance.
The explanation from the Book of Knowledge was: "The Book of the Future is a special creation of the Dream Realm, with its body of the book taking on part of the soul body’s function. It inherently has the ability to prophesy the future, can be said to be a soul-body unity. Thus, its mastery of destiny is so skillful, and its advancement so distinct."
Rod didn’t care about the words of the Book of Knowledge; he only knew that Royeger had told him, the path forward for the Book of the Future was to fuse with the Book of the Past and the Book of the Present to become the Book of Eternity, an existence with tremendous power in the Dream Realm, highly significant to him and the Dream Realm.
To merge the Book of the Past and the Book of the Present, it had to master more powerful destiny energy.
After all, he didn’t know the key to fusion; to become the Book of Eternity, it had to rely on itself.
"Master, I want more, I want more!"
The Book of the Future excitedly fluttered its pages, swallowing Destiny Energy one mouthful after another, unable to stop for a second.
"My desire is infinite, I feel I could eat a hundred more!"
Despite saying this, when Rod fed it the 13th portion, the Book of the Future stopped, incapable of further digestion.
"Ugh, I need to sleep, Master... feed me again when I wake up, hic!"
Before finishing the sentence, the Book of the Future collapsed, leaving Rod rather disappointed, having been ready to have it predict a future destiny.
Forget it; it can predict it once it wakes up.
Rod waved his hand, having the Book of Knowledge put it back on the shelf, then he approached the Obelisk, picked up "Undying Divine Light", and threw it into the [Eye of Divine].
A blinding light engulfed the Dream Realm in an instant. This giant star, the first to be ignited, finally began to be quantified at this moment.
The ripples of the Sea of Source spread through space, and with intense vibration, the Obelisk rose considerably once again.
When the light subsided, a line of new text appeared before Rod’s eyes.
[Eye of Divine]
[State: Primordial]
[Position: Above the Spirit Realm]
[Star Energy: Eye of Divine]
[Strength: 500 million]
[Source: 200]
[Description: My corpse is the first log to ignite the fire.]
——
Rod was surprised to find that this star, the [Eye of Divine], actually possessed 200 portions of Source Energy, while it had initially been ignited with only 1 portion of Root Origin.
"Book, does this increase? Didn’t you say the sources I harvested are special existences, only used as fuel to ignite a star, which are depleted once used?"
The Book of Knowledge, quite pleased, answered with a smile: "Master, what I mean is, the source required to ignite a star and the source a star possesses bear no absolute correlation. The power a star holds is influenced by many factors. If the ignition conditions are low, it indicates that other stages will be quite challenging. I believe, ’Undying Divine Light’ is the cause of this challenge. It’s a unique source material, extremely hard to obtain. If not for Royeger, we might have had to pay a great price to find it."
