Chapter 597: Chapter 357: Puppet

Rod was shocked.

"Spirit Boat"?

This was the fourth star to be ignited, the second star to undergo quantification.

After the "Dark Devourer" had completed its quantification, the quantification of this star was also nearing its end.

The Book of Knowledge had once told him that the reason why the quantification of the stars was so slow was because his soul was too weak.

Indeed, that was the case.

Before he crossed into the ranks of the strong, by surpassing the Ninth Level Spiritual Power, the quantification of the "Dark Devourer" had taken a very long time, almost without any stir, and Rod had nearly forgotten about it.

After he crossed it, the "Dark Devourer" completed its quantification in just a few days.

Now, with another surge in his Spiritual Power, it was only logical for the "Spirit Boat" to complete its quantification.

But why did the Book of Knowledge seem as if a great disaster were impending?

Rod collapsed to the ground, unable to move a finger, just like last time, with the dream flashing with a blinding red light, crimson steam swaying over the Obelisk.

A massive shadow fell from the night sky, as if a colossal entity was drawing near.

But, perhaps due to the second quantification, it only took a few seconds before Rod regained his mobility.

He immediately looked up, only to see that massive entity shrinking at an unimaginable speed. It dragged a long white tail flame, falling into the night sky like a shooting star, becoming a white star hanging in the southwest corner.

A line of information emerged in Rod’s mind.

"Spirit Boat"

"State: Primordial"

"Position: Sea of Source"

"Star Energy: Spirit Realm Control"

"Strength: 6000"

"Source: 3"

"Description: There is no final destination in a journey, no other shore in the Sea of Source, an endless spirit."

——

The glaring red light gradually faded, and the blood-red steam on the Obelisk slowly dissipated, quickly restoring the dream to its original state.

The only change was an additional white star in the night sky, no longer just the "Dark Devourer" hanging alone in the center of the night sky.

Rod smiled.

Finally, another star had completed its quantification.

It was only now that he had time to closely examine the changes in the "Spirit Boat."

Overall, it was similar to last time.

The position of the "Spirit Boat" had elevated to the highest level, and it had acquired "Source."

The difference was that the "Source" of the "Spirit Boat" was only half that of the "Dark Devourer."

This meant that the energy provided to the dream by the "Spirit Boat" was also only half.

What the "energy of the dream" actually did, Rod still didn’t quite understand.

But he had truly felt the changes it brought.

The originally pale ground gained color, and the once ethereal mist felt tangible.

The sky, once shrouded in thick fog, became a deep and serene night sky, with one red and one white star twinkling, giving Rod the sensation of standing under another world.

With the total "Source" reached 9, similar changes occurred in the more distant parts of the dream, with the foggy edges now even further away.

The actual space of the dream had grown larger.

What would the dream become after more stars had completed their quantification?

Rod wondered.

He walked up to the front of the Obelisk to have a look.

No changes in the invasion.

Rod frowned.

What was the Book of Knowledge up to?

He turned his head, seeing the Book of Knowledge frantically fanning its pages, still very angry.

"Idiot! Fool! Moron! How could you proceed without my permission ahhhh!"

Rod flipped a middle finger, inserting it expressionlessly into the book’s pages.

"You better speak politely!"

The Book of Knowledge immediately wilted.

"Master, master, how could you let ’Spirit Elegy’ undergo quantification without my permission?"

Rod frowned, "Does it have any consequences? Will there be more nightmares invading us?"

The Book of Knowledge trembled, "No, no, the invasion of the Soul Nightmare has exclusivity; unless there are stronger monsters present, its invasion won’t be unsettled, nor coalesced or squeezed off the path."

"Will there be stronger monsters appearing then?"

"No... no, the disturbance to the Spirit Realm is far from that level."

Rod, very discontentedly asked, "Then why are you freaking out?"

The Book of Knowledge trembled, and its letters became disordered.

"I, I’m just worried... ah, there’s another deviation in the restoration work of the Dream Protection, so annoying..."

The Book of Knowledge fled like smoke.

But the next instant, it came running back, jumping and dancing on a mound of earth, frantically fanning its pages.

Rod asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Ah... uh, nothing, I am just exercising a bit, it helps my soul recover..."

The letters on its pages appeared like chicken scratch, displaying its nervous state.

Rod frowned, this guy had been acting strangely since a while ago; could it have been poisoned?

Just as Rod thought to pick up the Book of Knowledge to thoroughly check it, a hand reached out from the mound of earth, grabbed onto the book’s pages, and flung it out.

Following that, a brown puppet stood up from the mound of earth.

With a thunderous sound, the Evil Ghost King patrolling in the distance kneeled down.

Rod suddenly remembered.

Wasn’t this the puppet that had appeared after the "Dark Devourer" completed its quantification last time?

It had just risen when the Book of Knowledge knocked it down to the ground and buried it in the soil.

Unexpectedly, it had awakened again after the second star completed its quantification.

The puppet shook off the dirt on its body, surveyed the surroundings, and fixed its gaze on Rod.
