Chapter 523: Chapter 327 Awakening_2

Rod briefly recounted his experiences over this period.

The book was silent for a few seconds and wrote, "The Fire Hall? Is this the strong collective organization formed by humans now?"

"Uh, yes."

"What is your position now, one of the leaders?"

"... A reserve member."

The pages of the Book of Knowledge wrinkled up, appearing displeased, but after a few seconds of silence, it still wrote.

"That’s right, you haven’t even reached Ninth Level Spiritual Power, it’s impossible for you to be a leader. If the existing humans were only at this level, they would have been destroyed long ago."

Although Rod was not very happy, he admitted that the Book of Knowledge was right.

"Did you have such strong organizations in your time?"

"Yes, Hunter Agents, Punisher Groups, White Angels, all similar organizations."

Rod asked curiously, "Were they very strong?"

The Book of Knowledge wrote, "I can’t reveal too much, their formation is closely related to the Dream Realm."

Rod felt somewhat disappointed, sensing there were too many unknown things at present.

The Book of Knowledge continued writing, "You have already reached a state of harmony between spirit and flesh. Once your Spiritual Energy reaches the Ninth Level, you will be able to undergo your first transformation. At that time, your strength will leap forward, officially entering the upper echelons of combat power, and many things can be started."

Rod nodded.

"Currently, the ’Star Shuttle’ is only missing one Great Soul, and I still have two Sources. It might be time to consider igniting a new star."

The Book of Knowledge fluttered its pages, showing approval.

"Very good, really excellent. Your performance during my dormancy has exceeded my imagination. I once heard a saying that though some people may seem stupid, dull, sluggish, juvenile, incompetent, worthless, garbage, and as useless as dog shit early on, they can gradually shine later. Maybe you are this..."

Rod raised his middle finger, and the Book of Knowledge immediately changed the subject.

"Ahem, with your current level, you can finally consider the farthest stars. Let me think."

White misty light flashed on the Book of Knowledge, a phenomenon only seen after it awoke.

"Hmm... Yes! This star is the most suitable for you."

Guided by the book, Rod entered the Soul Wilderness and flew a long distance before coming to a landing.

On the endlessly dark, lightless wasteland, a strange pile of ashes appeared before him.

It was as big as a house, blackened and rotting firewood arranged in a circle in front of him, looking like a wooden house that had been burned down to its frame.

A row of white text floated above.

"Wind’s Phantom"

"Requirements: 7 Sources, 700 million Souls Without Spirit, 7 Great Souls, 7 pieces of Soul Firewood"

What the hell?

Rod almost thought he was going blind.

million Souls Without Spirit?

And what even is 7 pieces of Soul Firewood?

Rod looked to the Book of Knowledge that had entered with him.

The Book of Knowledge answered his confusion with a line of calm text.

"This is a faraway star, they are too powerful, and for some reason, we cannot enhance our position step by step. You have to ignite it completely at once, directly reaching the state of Eternal Fire."

"These are its total requirements."

Only then did Rod breathe a sigh of relief.

This made more sense.

Otherwise, just igniting it requiring 7 pieces of Soul Firewood would have been too inconceivable.

However.

Rod looked at the huge numbers and still felt tremendous pressure.

million Souls Without Spirit was no joke.

And also 7 Sources, 7 Great Souls, all extremely difficult to handle.

He just didn’t know why this star had so many sevens.

While pondering, Rod left the Soul Wilderness.

With a pop, the Book of Knowledge jumped down and rushed into the cabin.

"What’s the matter?"

Rod saw the Book of Knowledge hustling and felt a bit strange.

"Don’t disturb, I need to repair the Light Platform."

"Restore the Light Platform?"

"Yes, this is a memory I just obtained. The current Light Platform is damaged, and only after fixing it can we start to hunt monsters in the Spirit Realm and try to eliminate the other remains of the reborn Ancient God Heragotos, who may have left us some kind of legacy."

Rod felt a surge of joy and quickly asked, "What do we need to fix it?"

"Souls Without Spirit, both strong and very strong souls, and I’ll tell you the other needs in a while."

Having said this, the Book of Knowledge began to busy itself in front of the Light Platform.

A white fog circled around it as the black and white Souls Without Spirit and grey souls occasionally flew in, merging into the Light Platform.

After waking up, the Book of Knowledge indeed completed some kind of transformation.

Rod’s heart was filled with both joy and worry.

He was happy that everything was moving forward again.

He was worried that his current accumulation was still far from sufficient.

Before leaving, he tried to ask the Book of Knowledge for a solution to its current predicament.

The Book of Knowledge flipped back and forth hesitantly.

"I’m not quite sure, the current information isn’t enough for me to judge such a subjective question, but the sudden collapse of the Underworld and the frenzied Demonized Ants are strange, maybe we can start investigating from this angle."

"Also, even in our era, the Demonized Ant Queen was one of the sources of disaster, so it must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Rod’s heart chilled, knowing that the situation was more severe than he had imagined.

By then, he had been in the Dream Realm for quite a while, and even though he could now observe the outside from within the Dream Realm, being unresponsive for too long was still not good.

"Then I’m going back."

The Book of Knowledge made no reply; it was immersed in the repair of the Light Platform.

Rod had a thought and instantly returned to Anna’s back, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Anna’s puzzled look.

"What’s wrong?" Rod asked with a slight guilt, "I was just closing my eyes to sense the surrounding environment."

Anna turned her head and muttered, "Why do I feel like your soul just returned to its place?"

Rod was surprised; had this girl sensed it?

However, she did not seem entirely sure.

It might just be that she noticed the subtle traces of his entering and exiting the Dream Realm, or perhaps she just felt the illusion of his soul being unanchored.

Rod did not pay much attention, looking around; nearby, there were only small groups of Demonized Ants and no large colonies or powerful Demonized Big King Ants.

"Did you find anything?"

Rod asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Lannis spoke gravely, "I have a feeling that the central ant colony seems to be avoiding us, avoiding all enemies."

Cilly exclaimed in surprise, "Why? Are monsters also scared?"

"No, monsters don’t have emotions, but they do have certain instincts, something must be about to happen, we need to find the Big King Ant as soon as possible."

But the journey afterward was not smooth; not only did they fail to find the Big King Ant, but they also kept being attacked by Demonized King Ants.

The frenzied King Ant was not only spitting Acid Liquid but also attempting to attack Rod with its mouthparts.

Although with Mephit’s assistance, they managed to kill the attacking King Ant without expending too much effort, it was of little help.

The Insect Queen continued to hatch King Ants, and unless they could kill the Big King Ant and find the trace of the Insect Queen, killing multiple King Ants was of little use.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the Book of Knowledge suddenly stirred up in his mind again.

"Hahaha! I indeed succeeded! The Light Platform has restored another ability, Rod, you can try it, it can let you locate nearby similar kinds of monsters based on Spiritual Energy."

Rod’s heart was shaken: "What should I do?"

"Kill a Demonized Ant and use the Fog Disk of the Light Platform on it."

Rod did as instructed.

Indeed, a foggy light appeared before his eyes.

It was the shadow of a Demonized Ant, and Rod surveyed the surroundings with his soul, extending his view to a very distant place.

Not only was the distance beyond the limit of the Eye of the Soul, but he could also see under the ground, which the Eye of the Soul could not observe.

He looked down and indeed discovered a massive shadow made of fog.

It was bigger than the King Ant, with longer front claws and a more solid body, lurking underground, like a ghost.

"Good!"

Rod was overjoyed, gathered his Spiritual Power, and delivered a Heavy Strike towards the ground.

Boom!
