Chapter 406: Chapter 278: Partner_2

The Holy Church sent him a letter every day, informing him of the specific circumstances of the Royal City clean-up operation.

The Supreme Council confiscated the properties of the three Chief Judges, executing some of the family members involved in the operation.

Another portion of family members who had benefited from the operation, though not directly participating in the destruction, were sentenced to slavery and sent to the Black Water Cave Mine where they would never see the light of day.

Only a small number of people were released without charges, but they were left destitute.

A portion of the three Chief Judges’ property was gifted to Rod to compensate for his losses.

The Elder Council took turns sending Rod messages of condolence, filled with appreciation and encouragement, as if they had always expected Rod to achieve such success.

Archbishop Horus even hinted in his letter that Rod should hurry to reclaim the area surrounding Star Town and establish a stable defense system as soon as possible.

If all went well, the Holy Fire plan would soon be back on track.

To commend his achievements, the Royal City planned to build him a new personal mansion in the Upper City, and he could even have a Nun Group tailored to his wishes, each nun dressed in the same black silk outfit worn by Wind Black Silk.

The last proposal deeply moved Rod’s heart; the thought of seeing a sea of nuns in black silk approaching him in high heels was extremely exciting.

The system of the Royal City was so humanized.

Rod thought gleefully, recalling that before he left, he had requested a Healing Nun Group from Horus, and he had spit a mouthful of starry saliva in his face on the spot.

Molly was right; the treatment for the strong was indeed different.

Ha ha ha.

However, even though the timing was perfect, Rod did not take any further action, but settled down instead.

This was not out of laziness, but waiting for his most important moment—the event when the group stars shone brightly.

He had waited far too long for this day, and everything he had done so far was for its arrival.

The Book of Knowledge informed him that the trajectory of the stars was about to reach its predetermined position, and the Dream Realm was about to reclaim its power from among the stars.

Divinity.

With Divinity, Rod could create the Resurrection Stone and Soul Firewood, and ignite new stars.

A very strong spirit possessing four sources had already been stored on the Soul Altar for quite some time.

The crisis of invasion also required Divinity to handle it.

Everything he did was stuck at the stage of attaining Divinity.

The Book of Knowledge was hustling back and forth in front of the Obelisk and Star Square every day, watching over the invasion text and the trajectory of the stars.

Since Rod’s reckless act caused the invasion of the former Order Master, dozens of days had passed. The Dream Bubble had traversed a great distance on the River of Eternal Death, not far from the City of Chaos, but this also meant entering the most dangerous moment.

The Dream Bubble’s disturbance trail in the Spirit Realm had spread to a considerable area, and more Spirit Realm Monsters were directly attacking the Dream Realm, growing in both number and strength.

Rod had no choice but to frequently enter the Dream Realm, maneuvering the Dream Bubble to evade the attacks of the Spirit Realm Monsters.

Fortunately, the star "Divine Sense" had been fully lit, and Rod’s learning ability had significantly improved.

Over this period, he had become more adept at piloting the Dream Bubble—his skills in acceleration, emergency stops, tail flicks, and drifting had improved greatly. He could easily shake off the monsters from the Spirit Realm without them seeing his taillights.

However, operating the Light Platform required the consumption of his own spirituality, which left his soul rather frail during this time.

Moreover, frequently returning to the Dream Realm to operate the Light Platform meant that he couldn’t engage in battle at this time. What would he do if, while fighting monsters in the Material World, monsters from the Dream Realm attacked?

The most dangerous aspect was that he could use the Dream Bubble to shake off monsters that directly attacked him, but he couldn’t escape from the Old Rulers who invaded from a higher plane.

As time passed and the City of Chaos drew nearer, an invasion could happen at any moment.

Should the Old Rulers step forth into the void, Rod would have to return to the Dream Realm to fight with all his might.

He still had three Undying Spirits and twelve Guardians of Darkness at his disposal, and Mephit was also working hard to prepare materials for him. A large number of Dream Creations were being made every day. The million Thunder Stones at the battle base had been fully charged with the help of everyone and sent by Rod into the Dream Realm.

All of this was in preparation for the impending crisis.

If he was lucky enough, he could use these trump cards to clear the last two areas around Star Town.

If not so lucky, then the next plan of action would have to be redrawn.

But regardless of luck or lack thereof, conducting any battles during this period was impossible.

Rod had to wait until the Dream Realm was free of crisis, leaving the River of Eternal Death and entering the City of Chaos before he could consider the next steps in reality.

Due to the Dream Realm’s unique nature, he couldn’t explain the situation to everyone, inevitably creating some misunderstandings.

Not only within Star Town but also his supporters, companions of the Holy Fire Project, and even Jon and Qingyu had written to urge him to take action soon.

Archbishop Horus was particularly anxious because the continuous good weather was about to end. Once the Heavenly Phenomenon returned to normal, the huge anomalies appearing in Star Town would draw the attention of surrounding monsters.

The world shrouded in Black Fog had evolved over a long time and maintained a special balance, but the large expanse of Guardian Fire suddenly appearing in Star Town would break this balance, with unpredictable disturbances caused.

Although Guardian Qingyu had been officially appointed by the Royal City as Star Town’s protector, if the town were continuously attacked by monsters, the huge waves of spiritual power generated by widespread fighting could further amplify the disturbance, leading to more monster attacks and possibly triggering an avalanche of chain reactions.

So, taking advantage of Fire Day and Moon Day, eliminating monsters and clearing the surrounding areas was the best option.

This was also the usual practice of the Royal City.

The widely suppressed Black Fog would not only lower the disturbance level but also significantly weaken the monsters’ strength, while the Power of Fire would be greatly enhanced. The fight would become extremely easy, a case of killing many birds with one stone.

But Rod remained unmoved.

He used the Soul Ripple of the Black Silk Tub and Theodore as an excuse. With so many unknowns in this world, mysteries of the soul, endless characteristics, and the enigmatic depths beneath the Black Fog, anything could happen. Everyone had a high threshold for oddities, and Rod’s little idiosyncrasies were hardly unusual.

People reluctantly accepted his explanation, everyone except Molly.

She was well aware of the changes in Rod; this was just his excuse.

This rising star, who had finally given her a glimmer of hope, could not be allowed to fall. Molly was determined to have a proper talk with him.

That evening, Molly made all the preparations, taking all the business files she had amassed over time and went to Rod’s room.
