Chapter 411: Chapter 280: Divinity and the New Star (Two in One)_2

The Book of Knowledge rapidly wrote down a long passage of text.

"Once the energy you plunder exceeds a certain limit, a negative energy void forms in the Sea of Source, which won’t be filled but will instead shift around, disrupting the balance of the Sea of Source,"

"As a result, the mechanism of the Sea of Source causes the void to deepen and become more urgent to fill, until it erupts in the physical world, transforming all nearby spiritual materials into pure energy and sucking them into the void."

Rod frowned and said, "Yeah, is there a problem?"

The Book of Knowledge wrote angrily, "You use it to bomb monsters! Monsters are condensations of the Black Fog, manifestations of corrupted Source Laws, and their entry into the Sea of Source is like dumping a pile of filth directly into the sea."

Rod’s frown deepened as he felt the real world seemed different from what he knew.

He couldn’t help asking, "What exactly is the Black Fog? Didn’t you say the world was created based on the rules of 107 Primordial Laws? Which Primordial Law does the Black Fog belong to?"

The Book of Knowledge remained silent for a while before it wrote in low-spirited handwriting.

"The Black Fog does not belong to any Source Law; it exists outside of the 107 Source Laws."

"I don’t know what it specifically is, the information related to it is very deep, and perhaps I would need to recover all my soul to know more. However, in memories, a certain master once called it ’heretic’."

"Heretic?" Rod repeated the term, feeling as if it hid some profound secret.

"Then why can the Guardian Fire dispel the Black Fog and restrain the monsters?"

The Book of Knowledge wrote, "The fire was initially created to guard the world and counteract the erosion of the Black Fog."

Rod exclaimed in surprise, "Created? Who created it?"

"I don’t know; that part of the information has also been lost, perhaps by ancient gods."

Rod furrowed his brow, feeling that there were many unexplainable things in this matter.

"If fire was specifically created to counter the Black Fog, what about the sun, moon, and stars? They also have the ability to restrain the Black Fog and can resonate with the power of fire."

The Book of Knowledge wrote, "I don’t know, perhaps the fire originates from the sun, moon, and stars, which themselves are the world’s correction of errors."

Well, that explanation did make sense.

Rod’s brows smoothed out.

No wonder all the Fire Sparks in the Royal City were obtained from the relics of the Dark World; the methods to create Fire Sparks must have been lost long ago.

To contemporary humans, the Fire Sparks had become an unmanufacturable object.

Uhm... such a powerful and magical object’s creator could most likely be an Ancient God from the ancient times.

He plucked the fire from the sun, moon, and stars, brought it to the mortal world, and handed it to humans to dispel darkness and protect living beings.

It’s just not known who this Prometheus who stole the fire is.

Rod thought with a bit of regret.

If he could find its remains and obtain its soul, perhaps he could find a way to create Fire Sparks.

Of course, that wasn’t something he could achieve currently.

Rod gathered his wandering thoughts and asked again, "So, what’s with the disturbances in the Spirit Realm?"

The Book of Knowledge answered irritably, "Don’t you fly back and forth between the Abyss of Darkness and the River of Eternal Death for no good reason, waking the ancient rulers slumbering deep in the Spirit Realm, and then, in panic, take a new route to escape, causing a big enough disturbance?"

Rod sighed, "I thought I had found a shortcut to invincibility... I really didn’t understand why it caused such a big reaction?"

The handwriting of the Book of Knowledge became gentle, seemingly aware that Rod was a novice without guidance, and it was understandable that he made such a mistake.

"My foolish master, you must realize, the Dream Realm, to the current Spirit Realm, is an invader. Do not repeatedly enter and exit the same area, do not linger too long in one area, move along the fixed pathways formed over millions of years; once we reach the City of Chaos, we must quickly return to the path, or else the disturbance will not stop."

Rod asked again, "Why does it affect the Holy Fire?"

"Disturbances in the Spirit Realm usually reflect back to the Sea of Source, causing the Sea of Source to become turbulent. You keep extracting energy from the Sea of Source excessively, intensifying the turbulence. Since the origin of the Holy Fire is embedded in the Sea of Source, and its structure has flaws or is incomplete, the turbulence in the Sea of Source will affect the Holy Fire, potentially leading to its collapse."

Rod suddenly remembered Horus telling him that since he had left for the battlefield, disturbances in the Royal City’s Holy Fire had not ceased, and the king had to immerse himself continually in the Holy Fire to maintain its stability.

So it turns out I caused this myself?

Those petty people became so rampant because the king was forced to seclude himself in the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, and there was no one in the Elder Council to check them.

Damn it.

Rod cursed.

Turns out I’m the real mastermind behind all this.

Shoot!

But now that I know this, things will be easier to handle afterwards.

First off, as a move with severe side effects, Void’s Fury must not be carelessly used anymore.

Moreover, its power isn’t as strong as Rod imagined; last time, he didn’t even manage to wipe out the Aries Demon group, leaving a big portion behind.

No big deal if it’s not used.

Next, he absolutely must stop hopping in and out of Dream Bubbles repeatedly; he must quickly follow the Book of Knowledge’s instructions and enter the pathway for the City of Chaos.

This way, once the turbulence in the Sea of Source subsides and the Holy Fire calms down, the king can come out of seclusion."

"With the king presiding over the Supreme Council, many things will become much easier to handle."

"He will not suffer any more unjust treatment."
