Chapter 536: Chapter 333: Achieved

Rod had no time to feel happy when he spotted that golden -10.

What does that mean?

This single Spirit Realm Strike used up 10 points of Divinity?

Damn it!

I only had a total of 69 points of Divinity left, 10 points are like one-seventh of the total.

A Resurrection Stone costs just as much.

Doesn’t this mean that, with one strike of this Light Grain, I’ve effectively lost a Resurrection Stone?

What a loss!

Rod was so upset that he left the Light Platform and immediately saw the Book of Knowledge running around joyfully on the ground.

"Finally, this day has come! I’ve missed this! The Star Core is back!"

Rod grabbed the Book of Knowledge and angrily asked, "Why didn’t you tell me that the Spirit Realm Strike needed 10 points of Divinity?"

The Book of Knowledge responded in astonishment, "How could the Spirit Realm Strike not consume Divinity? All core abilities of the Dream Realm require Divinity; Divinity is the fundamental power of the Dream Realm."

Rod was shocked and angrily said, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Book of Knowledge: "Isn’t this basic knowledge?"

"Basic my ass!"

"What is ’ass’?"

Rod choked up a bit, "From now on, tell me things like this in advance, or it will affect my planning."

The Book of Knowledge furrowed its pages: "Master, you seem to be under a misunderstanding. Divinity sitting unused in the Obelisk doesn’t grow. Using Divinity to plunder powerful souls for strength enhancement is what you should be focusing on right now."

"The root of all things is the Soul, and your Soul, compared to the darkness of the world, compared to those strong enough to save humanity, is far too weak."

Rod raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying, the returns from this Spirit Realm Strike were worth its cost?"

"Of course."

The Book of Knowledge wrote proudly.

"As the wisest envoy of the Dream Realm, I’ve never screwed over the master, you can go check that Soul."

Rod quickly walked to the Soul Altar and immediately saw a twisted soul sealed within the Crystal Wall.

[Chaotic Monster’s Soul]

[Great Soul]

[Has a Source]

[Filled with chaotic power, this twisted and bizarre entity formed from the remnants of the original, the residue of gods, substances of the Spirit Realm, mixed into an amalgam, echoes of destruction, remnants of the City of Chaos, ash of the bizarre.]

Rod’s eyes widened.

Great Soul!

This unremarkable thing was a Great Soul.

Not just great, it also held a Source.

Now, he possessed three Sources, just four more and he could ignite a new Star.

Most importantly, the last Position required for the Star Shuttle, the ’Seventh Star’, had finally been collected!

Tremendous joy surged through him, and Rod’s mood improved instantly, feeling the 10 points of Divinity were well spent.

Ha ha!

Rod quickly ran to the Obelisk, his fingertips lightly touching the stone surface, and the seven stars lit up again in the night sky.

The farthest, brightest one was the Seventh Star, the "Star Shuttle."

Although its Position was not high, its Strength still surpassed the other stars.

This final tier, he had been waiting for it for a long time.

But before inscribing the soul into the Star, there was one more thing to handle.

Rod turned and asked, "Book, what about these three Sources?"

The Book of Knowledge wrote: "Don’t worry, the Source in the Soul will be transferred into the ashes of the ’Wind’s Phantom.’"

Rod exclaimed, "Really? So the Source can be divided?"

Book of Knowledge: "The Source cannot be split. The Source is actually the Soul itself, a power of control over the rules acquired after resonating with the Sea of Source. The Soul replaces these rules and thus gains the Source. This is Quantification."

Rod was startled, having previously thought the Source was some kind of material. Quantification seemed to him the process of turning nebulous laws into tangible materials, like Source Material.

But according to the Book of Knowledge, the Source was the Soul itself, and Quantification was merely the process of the Soul gaining the power to control "laws."

"But... if that’s the case, how can it be divided?"

Book of Knowledge: "This is a capability of the Dream Realm, Source Assimilation, which allows trading a higher-position Source for a lower-position one. That’s why igniting a Star requires any Source, not a specific one corresponding to the Star."

Rod exclaimed, "It can work like that?"

"Of course."

The Book of Knowledge wrote proudly on its pages.

"The Dream Realm is far greater than you imagine. It isn’t actually called the Dream Realm; that’s just a word used for simplicity because its original meaning can’t be expressed, so it’s substituted for your term."

It was the first time the Book of Knowledge had astonished Rod.

He certainly knew of the Dream Realm’s mystique and strength, but he hadn’t expected it to be so mysterious and powerful.

He suddenly thought that after igniting a Star, each upgrade would raise its "Position," progressing from Unburnt Fire, Dull Fire, Fiery Fire, Golden Fire, all the way to Eternal Fire.

Every increase in Position would strengthen the Star, enhancing its capabilities as well.

When the Position reached Eternal Fire, the Star would then need specific Source Material to complete "Quantification."

So why then, isn’t just any "Source Material" used?

Rod posed his question.

The Book of Knowledge answered proudly: "This is another capability of the Dream Realm, Source Ascension."

"Source Assimilation is a form of degradation; the ignited Star holds only a projection of the Source Law. The process of elevating the projection’s Position is called Source Ascension, and its ultimate step uses Source Material to complete Quantification."
