Chapter 436: Chapter 289 City of Chaos_2

To provide the impoverished population of Star Town with means of survival, Rod still announced the establishment of a mining field, intensively mining several veins.

With this, the resource output of Star Town ranked among the top across Trolian regions.

Few areas possessed so many veins and produced so much output.

The expedition was undoubtedly a complete success.

The name of Star Town not only resounded throughout the Royal City, but had also become famous across all the major towns and settlements of Trolian.

Every day, tens of thousands of commoners were drawn by its reputation, and the Royal City specially widened the roads and increased the carriages traveling to and from Star Town, making this route the busiest in Trolian.

Those fortunate enough to return from Star Town had nothing but praise for it, unanimously singing its praises.

And Star Town, with its large population, finally relieved the Royal City’s burden.

The numerous poor people, beggars, and unemployed transformed into a workforce, adding a splendid hue to the operation of Trolian.

The significant resource output substantially enhanced the overall strength of Trolian. Many noticed their supply of goods was more ample than before, and the typically unavailable Sun Crystals were slightly more plentiful.

The output of Mancius Workshop and Byron Pharmacy increased by ten percent from previous years, and the Mechanical Research Institute renovated much of the weaponry for Starry Kingdom, allowing many warriors to update their equipment.

And the creator of all this, Rod, became the most popular star in Royal City.

Everyone loved hearing the legendary tales about him and Star Town. All the performers, actors, and dance troupes in the pubs arranged dramas and scripts based on his stories for their grand finales; even the two major theatres in Royal City staged his plays every day.

To gather inspiration, several playwrights collected stories about Rod everywhere, attempting to portray a real hero.

However, aside from some scandalmongers and the king of sewers, they did not gather much useful information.

The playwrights were distressed, as the Royal City Theatre, a crucial vehicle for spiritual communication in the city, could never approve performances with inappropriate guidance like scandalmongers and defecators.

They could only use their imagination to confer Rod with a noble and great character he never possessed, such a ubiquitously glorified persona that even Rod himself, if present, wouldn’t recognize the man depicted as him.

Of course, these were all trivial details.

After Star Town got on the right track, Rod was finally relieved, his overall direction and creative contributions complete, leaving only the filling in of fine details.

Molly no longer forcefully pressed Rod to work, as she could complete these tasks herself.

Rod could finally properly practice the "Star Shuttle," and finally sort out his dream realm.

After clearing the Isone Ruins and defeating the Chaos Demon, he had acquired nearly nine million souls and over a thousand spirits, as well as a very powerful soul.

Post-battle assessments showed that the explosion of one million Thunder Stones had killed about ten thousand monsters and injured over three thousand.

The efficiency was astonishing, but the cost-effectiveness was not exceptionally high, with around seventy to eighty Thunder Stones needed to kill or injure one Fierce Level monster.

The only commendable aspect was blowing off the outer skin of the Chaos Demon, which created conditions for its subsequent defeat.

The key members of the Military War Department closely observed the battlefield. They were not too interested in this tactic but were very interested in Rod’s abilities.

His sealing ability was incredibly convenient, effective and not very costly; of course, it was his space storage capability that truly captured their attention.

If they could combine his actions with theirs, many unique tactics could be created.

Unfortunately, Rod’s status was now different, and they could not command him. They could only leave their contact information regretfully and return to the Military War Department, hoping for another to emerge with the "Black Messaline" Fire Spark.

Rod was not concerned.

The "Black Messaline" had truly become a messaline, where he attributed any inexplicable ability to it, resulting in this fire spark amalgamating dozens of abilities.

As for why, you can ponder that slowly.

After all, there won’t be another.

Right now, Rod cared more about his strength.

He sacrificed the acquired souls, and the Soul Without Spirit again broke through ten million.

After investing these ten million souls into the stars, the position of the "Star Shuttle" advanced to another level, and Rod once again felt a leap in his Spiritual Energy.

When the starlight stabilized, the text had changed to:

"Star Shuttle"

"State: Superlimit Burning"

"Star Energy: Star Light Dust"

"Inject: Soul Without Spirit"

"Fire: Humanity"

"Quantification: Unavailable"

"Position: Golden Fire"

"Strength: 60000"

"Description: Imprisoned Starlight"

The fine text below read:

"Elevating the position of ’Star Shuttle’ to Eternal Fire requires three Great Souls."

This was a bit challenging.

Rod was slightly anxious.

The last time he obtained a Great Soul was after killing the remnant body of an Ancient God, and he had no idea where the other remnants of the Ancient God were.

He had thought about continually invoking the name of the Ancient God Heragotos to attract its invasion, but the Book of Knowledge stopped him.

It told Rod it was better not to do so; Heragotos had long since fallen and become distorted. Its other remnants had no intersection with Rod and might not be summoned, possibly attracting other Evil Gods instead.

Rod now had no cards left to play; the "Condensed Light’s" Spirit Realm Bullets were expended, and only the Evil Ghost King stood no chance of defeating an invading Ancient God.
