"If running at full capacity, it would require approximately 5000 Soulless Soul Flowers daily. After fully unlocking it, the consumption by the Star Marrow Altar has greatly increased."

"Soulless Soul Flowers? Isn’t that equivalent to a billion Souls Without Spirit? 5000 soul flowers..." The Great Shepherd’s voice was somewhat distorted, and he did not continue.

Rod smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, Great Shepherd, I have already placed 10,000 soul flowers, but we need to send someone inside to guard them. Soul flowers are high-purity spiritual materials and are easily corrupted, and the half-plane space inside the Star Marrow Altar cannot avoid the encroachment of the Black Fog."

At that moment, everyone was shocked by Rod’s words.

Rhein exclaimed, "Sir Rod, how do you come to possess so many Souls Without Spirit?"

Rod carefully considered his wording: "This is one of my abilities; I can plunder Souls Without Spirit during battles."

"Is this all the Souls Without Spirit you have?"

"No, I still have 330,000 Soulless Soul Flowers."

This number caused everyone’s expressions to become somewhat uncontrolled, and the Great Shepherd lightly sighed, "It’s truly unbelievable. Our means to obtain Souls Without Spirit are incredibly cumbersome and require a high price... Unfortunately, Souls Without Spirit cannot become regular resources and cannot significantly aid the Fire Holder’s enhancement."

Rod also felt a great pity—these soul materials could only be used by him. If everyone could use them, it would be great.

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge flipped through its pages as if pondering something.

At this moment, the Great Shepherd asked again, "Sir Rod, to what extent has the First Knight Alan recovered?"

Rod replied, "Very well, he hasn’t used too many resources, just rested by the Holy Fire for a while, and his soul became very full. He is expected to fully recover soon."

Rhein sighed, "Incredible. Are all humans born from the growth in battles this terrifying?"

Solos mused, "His strength may also come at a cost. If my guess is correct, it may be similar to yours, Rhein."

Everyone’s faces sank; although Rhein possessed 2 Root Origins—that is 50 portions of Root Origin—his combat power surpassed most Primordial beings, but the cost was that he could never step into Primordial.

This had a certain relation to the [Source Carrier], but his life as a human made him become a [Source Carrier].

Rhein was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed:

"He’s much stronger than me. I only have 2 Root Origins, and he already has 12 Root Origins. Besides, he has another 19 Fire Sparks, each not weak. The total Root Origin count might exceed 500 portions, ten times mine; even if he can’t advance to Primordial like me, his combat power might surpass even the Second or Third Stage Primordial beings."

Rod did not speak; he knew that Alan was not necessarily unable to advance. As long as Asa seized the Evil Thought Space, deciphered the Evil Thought Stele, the source of the life of man might be clarified. Perhaps there would be another way to advance then?

Rhein was the same.

Solos sighed lightly, "But, that’s all there is. Unfortunately..." He paused, then turned his gaze to Rod.

"Sir Rod, besides the First Knight Alan, who else in Troli can join the battle?"

Rod slightly shook his head, "No, apart from Alan, no one has reached the peak of Half King. Olivia and the Dark Moon Princess have just mastered the 20th Root Origin; Tai Luo and a bit more, only 21, Luo Weiya and Misha have 18, Peibela, Red Queen and Jelaba all have 15, Alehon 12."

"As for Chucher, Gale, Soron, Fei Xue, Ye Feng, Riegel, Vito, Silver Cat, Fei Yan, and Rasso, generally they have between 10 to 12 portions."

Upon learning of Troli’s situation, Rod was actually a bit disappointed.

Even with such huge assistance, their growth was slightly below expectations; no one burst forth with boundless potential to instantly step into the peak of Half King—which is the minimum requirement to enter the Saint Longde battlefield.

Perhaps their expectations were too high.

Considering the time was so brief, from a conventional perspective, their advancement efficiency was already incredibly alarming.

But with so many former geniuses, not a single one erupted, not even stepping into the fourth stage of Half King—this indeed left Rod feeling somewhat depressed.

"My Black Battle Group and Mephit have only about 10 Root Origins, Anna, Kashan, Frank have just stepped into Half King, Teresa has resonated with a new Source Law. It seems a bit formidable but certainly far from this threshold."

"The Spiritual Woman Group’s momentum is also far insufficient; Jessica, Wendy, Evelyn all have only 10 Root Origins, Philis and others only 9."

"Jon is somewhat promising, already holding 15 Root Origins, Xingge at 12, Evela at 11, while that Holy Sword Viheler is simply a fool, holding only 1."

Rhein frowned, "Sir Rod, I must clarify, Holy Sword Viheler relies on a Source Artifact. His life as a human cannot resonate further; his power will never grow... As for their growth not meeting expectations, it’s mainly due to the lack of Divine Source Material; Troli’s fortunes are too few, quickly exhausted without Divine Source Material support."

Dragon Slayer Romano asked sternly, "Is there no one in Troli with unusual potential like Rod and Alan, who doesn’t need fortune and carrying, yet can still grow?"
