Chapter 226: Chapter 166 Why Haven’t They Come Yet_2

I’ve hit a bottleneck!

Stirred by a surge of excitement, Rod immediately injected a second Soul, causing the light to tremble.

On adding a third Soul, the trembling grew more intense.

With the fourth Soul, the light of the entire Star solidified, taut like a stretched belt.

Upon adding the fifth Soul, the suppressed light finally burst forth, turning the entire night sky a bright yellow as flames engulfed the face of the Obelisk.

Moments later, the light receded, withdrawing into the Star like a tide.

Thus, in the upper right of the night sky, another Eternal Star was born.

Its light was soft and contained, floating like a satin ribbon embedded in the night sky, akin to a floral ornament on a girl’s head.

[Justice Execution]

[State: Constant Burning]

[Star Energy: Spiritual Energy Sixth Layer Melody]

[Inject: Unavailable]

[Fire: Unavailable]

[Quantification: Divine Blood Gemstone]

[Position: Eternal Fire]

[Strength: 2000]

[Description: The moment the lamp burns out, I only wish to kiss such gentle you]

——

It had finally reached its complete state.

Rod was overjoyed.

What kind of power would the fully formed [Spiritual Energy Sixth Layer Melody] possess?

Based on prior experience, it was only on the final level that a Star’s powers transformed.

The [Spiritual Energy Sixth Layer Melody] would definitely be extremely powerful.

Haha, I must make good use of it.

Looking at the two remaining Souls in his hand and then glancing at the almost invisible [Spirit Boat] next to [Justice Execution], he decided to elevate it as well.

Since being ignited, the [Spirit Boat] had not transformed at all, lacking even Soul Firewood and still being a "newbie" Star.

Rod approached the stone platform in the cabin and began creating [Soul Firewood].

The main ingredients for Soul Firewood were potent souls and divinity, with humanity, radiant stones, and ten portions of any monster ash as additional components.

All the materials were ready.

Moments later, the Soul Firewood, resembling numerous overlapping dead branches, was complete.

Rod returned to the front of the Obelisk, his forehead lightly touching its surface, transporting him to the Soul Wilderness.

There, amidst countless bonfire ashes, he found the bonfire representing [Spirit Boat].

It was a particularly weak flame emitting a faint white light in the boundless night.

Rod placed the Soul Firewood into the flame, immediately stabilizing it.

Next, he added a Soul Without Spirit, elevating the state of the Spirit Boat to "Limit Burning".

The flame flared up, its Position changing from "Dull Fire" to "Fiery Fire".

This phase also required only a Soul Without Spirit.

And Rod had accumulated a substantial amount during this time.

Soul Without Spirit: 102921

At a thought, countless black and white flakes of Fei Xue fell into the flames.

The fire increasingly blazed, soon reaching a bottleneck and, after a moment of trembling, suddenly expanded explosively.

The Position of [Spirit Boat] changed from "Fiery Fire" to "Golden Fire," its State from "Limit Burning" to "Superlimit Burning," and its Strength jumped from 10 to 100 in one breath.

Soul Without Spirit: 80921.

This phase called for a complete Soul.

However, the [Spirit Boat] was quite feeble, not requiring strong souls like [Justice Execution] did.

Rod then replaced [Fog Demon’s Soul] and added souls of weak sewer creatures like the Plague Rat.

When the flames of the [Spirit Boat] flared up once again, it transformed from "Golden Fire" to "Eternal Fire," its State from "Superlimit Burning" to "Constant Burning," and its Strength jumped to 200 in one go.

It had reached its complete state.

[Spirit Boat]

[State: Constant Burning]

[Star Energy: Spirit Realm Teleportation]

[Inject: None]

[Fire: None]

[Quantification: Spirit Realm Core]

[Position: Eternal Fire]

[Strength: 200]

[Description: Source Sea has no other shore.]

Rod focused his attention on "Star Energy."

[Spirit Realm Teleportation]: Utilizing the potential energy of the Spirit Realm to teleport, one can reach any previously visited location, even beyond the stars, without being intercepted, no longer consuming Spiritual Energy, but only Spirituality, allowed once every cycle of the stars.

After reading this, Rod was dumbfounded.

This ability is way too high-end, but it’s not really suitable for me.

Without a Spirit Boat, how can I take people with me?

Only allowed once per cycle of the stars, what do I do the rest of the time?

If it’s such a remote location beyond the stars, going there means no return, am I going on a suicide mission?

Rod was a bit depressed, but realizing that [Spirit Realm Teleportation] was uninterceptible lifted his spirits as it gave him another card to play for survival.

Fine then.

Rod left the Soul Wilderness and sorted out the items in the Dream Realm, finally clarifying the current situation.

Looking up, he saw his attributes had reached new heights at the top of the Obelisk.

Soul Strength: 2430

Soul Stars: 4

Humanity: 1000

Divinity: 16

Soul without Spirit: 80921

Soul Altar: 1 [Soul of Fog Demon], 41 [Soul of Plague Rat], 33 [Maggot Man’s Soul], 121 [Weak Soul]

Storage: 2511 shares of Humanity, 2361 shares of Spirituality, 30 shares of live Spirituality, 1 Flower of Humanity, one Resurrection Stone, one drop of Goddess’ Tears, one Illusion Band, one dose of Green Grass Potion, one Holy White Tree Fruit, two Guardians of Darkness.

Outside the cabin’s supply pile: 2611 True Silver Bullets, 180 Thunder Stones, 281 Sealing Spirit Bullets, 31 Sun Stones, 1 Radiant Stone, over 300 Monster Ashes, over 200 Red Jades, over 500 Soul Red Crystals, over 200 Potions.

—

The Dream Realm naturally has a preserving effect, Rod had sorted out the less important stuff from storage and stacked them outside the cabin.

Looking at this vast collection of items, Rod could only say one thing:

The supplies are very sufficient.

The only thing lacking was Divinity.

Rod went to the back of the Obelisk. Time was passing quickly, and only 35 days remained until the invasion, with the disaster of the River of Eternal Death looming near.

Now, with all four stars filled, his Soul Strength had doubled.

He needed to ignite new stars.

But the problem was, where to find a special soul with the [Source] characteristic?

Besides, he only had enough Divinity for one more [Soul Firewood].

He had to figure out a way to get more Divinity.

Moreover, it was best to fully understand what the River of Eternal Death and the disaster really were before the invasion arrived, so he could gauge the strength of the invaders and make the right response.

Knowing the full details only then can he act effectively.

Rod silently noted down these issues.

If he couldn’t get answers from his mentor at the secret base, he would have to pay a price to seek them in the Book of Knowledge.

Before going to sleep, Rod took one last look at the Evil Demon Egg, which he had placed far away.

It hadn’t changed much; the faint heartbeat of the embryo could still be seen through the thin blood membrane, and the wound from the last piece of flesh he had cut off had healed.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Rod cut off another large chunk.

Living flesh was a very rare material, generally not obtainable under normal circumstances.

Apart from the host being rare, there were particularities about the flesh cut, generally, only one piece could be cut at a time, if a second piece was cut, the first one would turn into regular flesh.

If the host died in the process, it would also revert to normal flesh.

Originally, the Evil Demon Egg did not have this characteristic; it was the soul of Gregor that had it.

It had been sucked into the Evil Demon Stone, becoming the core nourishment for the egg.

"Thanks, sharp-tongued Chief Judge Gregor."

Rod smiled, tossed the living flesh into storage, lay down on the rocking chair, and fell into a dreamless, highly efficient sleep.

Meanwhile.

On the second floor.

Ado buried herself in the blanket, eagerly staring at the slightly ajar door, mumbling dreamily through her cherry-like little mouth.

"Why isn’t big brother coming yet..."
