Chapter 454: Chapter 296: Bringing Light_3
His opening remarks were somewhat normal, but they became more and more preposterous as he continued.
"I’ve got it! Its characteristic is related to time, I shall name it the Time Worm!"
At the same time, the crystal displayed the translation of the Soul Wave of the Fire Spark into soul script, as well as translations in multiple languages.
Although "Time Worm" was a free translation, it seemed to be somewhat close to the original text.
Rod curled his lip, having grown accustomed to the hair-raising translations in Royal City.
Compared to things like "idiot," "quickshot," or "grass," this name was already quite friendly.
The bald Master laughed heartily, slapping him on the shoulder.
"You truly are our little hero! This Fire Spark is extremely powerful, you must train it well."
Suddenly, Talinus shouted, "No, that can’t be right! I don’t believe it! Who knows if this isn’t just a prearranged script?"
Rod smiled and asked, "What would you like to do?"
"Use it now and show us!"
"Alright."
Rod readily agreed, closed his eyes, and a few seconds later, took out another Recording Crystal and input Spiritual Energy.
The crowd looked up to see the crystal displaying the scene that had just unfolded at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.
From a third-person perspective, every individual’s reaction was captured in full view.
The Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground was absolutely off-limits, making it impossible for someone to have secretly filmed, and the start time on this Recording Crystal was even before Rod had arrived.
Panic and madness spread rapidly; not a single person could utter a word.
With indisputable facts, Rod proved that his Fire Spark had the ability to trace back in time, and that his Recording Crystal was legitimately acquired.
The First Elder suddenly snapped his fingers, and only then did people realize that his silent Spiritual Energy had already been sent out.
In an instant, a large number of Fire Priests surrounded everyone, and numerous Fire Guardians descended from the sky, guarding the front of the Holy Fire.
Amendo spoke indifferently, "Bring them all out."
Indeed, the First Elder had guessed it... Rod smiled faintly, and Recording Crystals kept falling from his sleeve like magic, quickly piling into a small mountain.
"There are a total of one hundred ninety-seven."
Rod said.
"Involving one hundred eighty-six main conspirators, six hundred sixty-seven participants, among whom six hundred are criminals, and sixty-seven are Doomsday believers, and..."
Rod extended a finger, pointing at the Chief Governor Talinus.
"He is the leader of this group of Doomsday believers!"
Talinus’s eyes reddened, and he let out a wild howl as he lunged forward.
But in an instant, dozens of Fire Priests descended from above, tackling him to the ground. Spiritual Energy chains immediately bound his entire body, and a powerful Sealing was placed on his chest, suppressing all his Spiritual Energy.
Talinus struggled and howled wildly, cursing Rod, cursing Royal City, cursing humanity, cursing everything.
Amendo said indifferently, "Take them all away, lock them in the underground prison, the Internal Affairs Court and the Judgement Court to immediately screen everyone, not letting a single person escape, have the Mechanical Research Institute immediately make ten copies of these Recording Crystals, and store them in the archives!"
"Yes!"
The Fire Priests immediately escorted everyone present away, and the Recording Crystals were taken into custody. The Internal Affairs Court and the Judgement Court moved at top speed to apprehend the criminals who had not been at the scene.
The Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground finally quieted down again.
The King looked at Rod with a smile in his eyes: "Our little hero, you really are incredible."
Amendo gave a slight nod.
"Without clearing out these pests, we would have a hard time proceeding with our next actions."
The Defense Chief Dalin sighed, "Little Rod, I’ve lost count of how many surprises you’ve brought us."
"Maybe you really are the ’Child of Bright’ from the legends."
Everyone laughed, even the usually serious Amendo showed a hint of a smile.
But in the friendly atmosphere, someone suddenly raised a doubt.
"Can this ’Fire Spark’ really see everything?"
Rod scratched his head, "Uh, yes, it has no blind spots, but there’s a time limitation, the farther back it goes, the more ’Spiritual Energy’ it consumes. I reckon I can see up to a year back at most."
"Doesn’t that mean we have no privacy?"
Everyone frowned, the word privacy was quite rare; it seemed abnormal for someone to suddenly make such a fuss about it.
However, what he said next did seem a bit inappropriate to everyone.
"What if he peeks at us while we’re bathing? I heard that even the great ’Moon Knight’ Olivia had been secretly filmed, and the culprit still hasn’t been found."
In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell on Rod.

Ultimately, Rod wasn’t subjected to any restrictive measures, he was simply forbidden from approaching private spaces like bedrooms, toilets, and bathrooms without reason.
If he must approach, he is to keep his ’Spiritual Energy’ in a sealed state.
Of course, this didn’t really do much.
The ’Book of the Past’ could see ranges far greater than they imagined, and it wasn’t possible to watch him sixteen ’clock hours’ a day.
Plus, Rod wasn’t the perverted type and had no interest in peeking or adult films—why watch adult films when I can be in the action myself? Isn’t Molly enticing enough?
Honestly, Rod’s opinion of her had greatly improved.
She wasn’t as dull as she seemed on the surface; in fact, she was incredibly charming and delightful.
Her usually strict and meticulous image added to her appeal.
However, being treated like a thief by everyone did rankle a bit.
But this slight annoyance couldn’t compare to the joy that the current events brought.
The worms hidden within the ’Royal City’ were purged by him in one fell swoop; a large number of corrupted individuals were locked up in the underground prisons, not one ’Doomsday believer’ was missed—they were all dragged out.
The work of the ’Internal Affairs Court’ and ’Judgment Court’ had never been so smooth; they were no longer lacking crucial evidence, no longer needed to brainstorm and dig tirelessly for secrets.
Just by identifying suspects and having Rod come over, the matter would be resolved.
The ’Judgment Chief’ and the ’Judge Chief’ acted as if they had struck treasure, wishing they could keep Rod tethered to their sides all day.
’Judgers’ and ’Judges’ had never been so effective; besides the ones condemned by Rod, following the leads to their connections, they caught a large group of people and also used Rod to investigate a great number of suspects.
Afterwards, the entire ’Upper City’ was turned inside out.
A multitude of ’Doomsday Cult’ members who had painstakingly infiltrated the area were caught, several ’Doomsday Cults’ fell apart, and many corrupt individuals were exposed.
Following this purge, the atmosphere of the ’Royal City’ changed completely, walking on the streets, even the air seemed brighter.
Furthermore, the confiscated wealth has greatly replenished funds for military expansion.
But the greatest benefit was that everything became incredibly smooth, the obstructing grit was swept clean.
Only then did people realize that the numerous difficulties they faced before had vanished without notice, each step slippery smooth like it had been oiled.
No more stillborn projects, no more setbacks and failures, this pleasant feeling was simply like flying.
And all of this was brought by Rod.
Now, in this despairing ’Dark World’, many already believe.
Him.
He will bring us light.
