Chapter 603: Chapter 359: Starting with You_2

The Book of Knowledge urgently said, "Divinity is limited, and our final restoration requires divinity."

"Alright, alright, I know." Rod said with a smile: "I will restore you first, Book."

The Book of Knowledge joyfully said, "You are worthy of being the master, you will see my value!"

This can still be rolled up... Rod was somewhat amused and exasperated, but having someone to deal with the Book of Knowledge’s bad habits is not too bad.

So that it’s not always me having to slot in the book.

Afterward, the Book of Knowledge returned to its work contentedly, and Rod shifted his gaze upon that star above.

On the boundless Soul Wilderness, its ashes were immense, at least as high as several floors of a building, and were a charred black color.

Within the ashes floated the numbers mentioned just now by the Book of Knowledge.

The demand really is high.

Rod sighed in his heart.

Although it does not use souls, 90,000 units of Spirituality is frightening, and 9 Sources and 9 pieces of Soul Firewood are not easily obtained either.

The most troublesome are the three extremely Great Souls.

The creatures that possess such souls are very, very fierce.

There’s no need to mention the Insect Queen, that thing is simply a disaster.

The Nightmare Lord could face the King head-on; if not for the Dream Realm Strike from the Spirit Realm, he could not have killed it so easily.

Keep in mind, a "Chaotic Monster" with a "Great Soul" died from a single round of Spirit Realm Strike.

But the Nightmare Lord took as many as four rounds, consuming 40 points of Divinity.

We can only see how much substance the invading dead soul Nightmares carry in a few days.

Rod thought silently, deciding to first go to the training ground to properly adapt to the new powers and abilities he had gained.

Royal City.

Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

Beneath the endless Holy Fire, the King opened his eyes once again.

His golden pupils reflected the golden Holy Fire, as if burning alongside it.

He rose from his golden throne, his face displaying a clear smile.

Surprise flickered in the eyes of both the Fire Priest and the King’s Hand beside him.

This was the smile that the King had after crossing space and tiers to defeat the powerful Nightmare Lord.

Indeed, the Nightmare Lord was a Disaster-Level enemy.

The people thought silently in their hearts.

Having eliminated this formidable threat, the King naturally felt much more relaxed.

Since ancient times, guarding the Holy Fire has been the King’s most important duty.

Although the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground was heavily protected, known as the safest place in Trolian, in this Dark World, the very existence of a powerful fire is fatal.

Monsters are attracted to the firelight like insects flitting through the darkness of the night.

The vast Trolian barrier kept away the creatures of the Main Material World, and their King kept at bay the creatures of the Spirit Realm.

After the Nightmare Lord was killed by an unknown existence from the Spirit Realm, the King’s battles became very smooth, with no Spirit Realm Monsters surviving near the Holy Fire for more than a day.

Of course, just this alone could not make the King happy.

After all, for the most part in the past, this had been the norm.

The Nightmare Lord was just incapable of exerting its full strength due to the distance and did not mean it could rival the King.

What truly pleased the King was that the situation in the battles had improved significantly, the crisis within Trolian was under control, the conquest in the West had achieved great results, and the united advancement of the three legions had far exceeded expectations, taking over land spanning more than five hundred thousand square codes.

Before long, Trolian will officially include Star Town and Star City into its territory, they will no longer be enclaves hanging outside of the Dark World.

By then, the Holy Fire plan will reach its latter stages.

They can start attacking Storm Pass and take over the gorge that leads to the North through the Dead Ash Mountain Range.

After that, the Holy Fire plan can be made public.

Trolian will prepare for war with all its might and, at the moment of the return of the constellations, when the Bright Festival arrives, they will attack Tasnia Starry Sky City to seize the Holy Fire Seed.

Among these, the timing of the Bright Festival is the most important checkpoint.

The White Tower currently predicts there may be 60 to 90 days left.

Meaning, they must take down Storm Pass and march towards Tasnia Starry Sky City within 60 days.

Otherwise, they might miss the crucial timing for the attack.

The time is still quite tight.

Hardly had the battle in the Spirit Realm ended when the King plunged back into his busy work, endlessly bestowing the King’s Blessing on the combatants about to set off, discussing the state of battle with the Defense Chiefs, and deploying military forces.

The situation has eased somewhat now but remains incredibly tense.

When the First Defense Chief Dalin brought the latest news, the King frowned.

"Star City has not been completely occupied yet?"

Dalin replied solemnly, "Yes, Commander Lothar is running into significant trouble, the underground of Star City continues to be spread by darkness and pollution."

The King slightly furrowed his brow: "How long has it been? Almost two years, right? What exactly is he doing?"

"It might be some sort of Source-level pollution," Dalin explained: "We need an Eternal Burning Fire to go there."

"What are the three candidates doing?"

"Xingge has just returned from Storm Castle and is resting, Jon is fighting bloody battles on the Northern walls, and Qingyu is dealing with the Demons’ problem in the Dead Land."

Without prior agreement, the two chose to stay silent for a moment and skipped the issue.

The crisis in Starry Sky City must be handled by two adult candidates; Xingge is too young to be chosen.

After some more discussions, the King suddenly discovered an intelligence report.

"Hmm? Little Rod has ignited the eighth Fire Seed? His Spiritual Energy has reached 1345 thousand moments. Ha... Dalin, look."
