Chapter 639: Chapter 377: Stars Twinkling and the Great Star (Second Update)

Rod had stood in the Dream Realm early on.

Above Star Square, nebulae lingered, starlight shimmered, and the dim star charts had never been so bright before. The trajectories of stars traced long tails, settling in specific locations, creating a unique spectacle.

Magnificent starlight erupted from the square, and outside the Dream Realm, it was a dazzling expanse. Deep, light blue columns of light shot down from the distant depths of space, enveloping the entire Spirit Realm in a tranquil and serene atmosphere.

The Dream Realm was like floating in an ethereal blue ocean, with the clear blue light reflecting in from the edges of the Dream Realm, enchantingly beautiful.

The next moment, Rod felt as if an ancient door, long sealed, swung open—a wondrous sensation came over him. A more distant Starry Sky emerged from the boundless Abyss, as if something within that vast Void were calling to him.

Golden specks of light crossed vast distances of time and space, raining down through the night sky of the Dream Realm and converging into the Obelisk.

On one side of the Obelisk, the Golden Light gathered and rose swiftly. The puppet stood with arms raised to the sky, bathed in this golden downpour. The Book of Knowledge raced across the ground, each of its pages bearing three words.

"So many!"

"So many!"

"Hahaha!"

The golden torrent grew heavier as if a God had overturned their vessel of Divinity, with countless specks of gold floating in the Dream Realm, resembling the myriad lights of the human world, glorious and filled with the power of Life.

Rod was immersed in this golden light, as if he saw countless condensed hopes; all tiredness, pain, and confusion vanished at this moment.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the golden rain finally stopped, and several lines of large golden characters emerged on the Obelisk.

Eliminate human decay, Divinity +25

Slay the Withering Behemoth, resolve human crisis, Divinity +5

Destroy the Abyssal Fragment, slay the Great Sin Demons, Divinity +5

Eliminate disasters and save hope, Divinity +72

Slay Nightmare Lord Latotip, resolve the Holy Fire crisis, Divinity +30

Destroy the twisted phenomena of Darkness, resolve human crisis, Divinity +20

Slay the Black Fog Symbiont, Divinity +5

Eradicate the ominous Demons, resolve human crisis, Divinity +20

Break through numerous crises, save humankind, Divinity +40

Enhance the overall strength of the Orderer, bring hope, Divinity +120

Total, Divinity +342

Because of your efforts, the possibility of civilization’s legacy has increased, and humanity has stepped further away from the Absolute Abyss of Darkness.

——

Below the Golden Light, another row of red text appeared.

——Destroying the balance of energy in the Sea of Source, intensifying world erosion, Divinity -24.

——Maliciously disturbing the higher Spirit Realm, intensifying the unrest of the Holy Fire, reducing order, loss of Source Power, Divinity -5.

——Triggering the feedback of the Black Fog, disturbing the dormant Dark Power, Divinity -15

——Harming the chosen of the fire, weakening the force of fire, Divinity -5

Total, Divinity -49

Due to your errors, the possibility of civilization’s legacy has decreased, and humanity has slipped a step closer to the Absolute Abyss of Darkness.

——

This time, he had gained 342 points of Divinity but had only reduced by 49 points of Divinity!

This proved that his positive impact on humanity far exceeded the negative.

A surge of ecstatic emotion rose in Rod’s heart; this was the fruit of all his efforts, the crystallization of all his heart’s blood and sweat.

A strong surge of warmth spread through his limbs, making his whole body hot. He felt as though he was carrying the world of humankind on his back, holding high the flame of civilization, hacking through brambles and thorns in the endless Black Fog, climbing upwards.

A spirit that must triumph over Darkness welled up within him. Never before had he been so convinced that the path forward was tortuous, but the future of humanity was inevitably bright.

Rod strode up to the Divinity side of the Obelisk; the once-empty side was now raised as high as the tide, the sparkling stars had brought him 293 points of Divinity, and the Dream Realm itself provided 2 points, totaling 295 points of Divinity.

points of Divinity, a number Rod had never had before.

The golden light emanating from the Divinity side of the Obelisk was dazzling, dispelling all doubts and worries in his heart, as if all future difficulties would melt away with this golden glow.

Rod steadied his mind, forced himself to calm down, and carefully looked at the golden text.

The top row detailed his deeds.

From cleaning the worms in the Royal City to eliminating the Demons, each action was recorded by Divinity.

The penultimate item "Breaking through numerous crises" was his effort over the last several days, totaling 40 points.

It was a bit more than he expected.

The final item accounted for his overall contribution to humanity, including the correct deployment of resources, the extra materials and rare resources he provided to humanity, and the improvement of individual human fighting capabilities, bringing hope to humanity, along with all the additional positive effects of his actions.

All things considered, the last item amounted to the most Divinity gained.

To Rod’s surprise, even slaying the Black Fog Symbiont had earned Divinity; he had not heard any outcry from the Book of Knowledge at the time.

But if it counted like that, why was such a powerful creature worth only 5 points?

After all, even the Withering Behemoth was worth 5 points.

The Deathly Nightmare was surely stronger than the Withering Behemoth.

The Book of Knowledge answered his question, "The acquisition of Divinity does not include resolving the crises within the Dream Realm itself. The Divinity earned from slaying the Black Fog Symbiont originates from its inherent threat to humanity and the weakening effect on the Black Fog after its death, hence the small amount."

So that was it; Rod nodded, focusing his eyes on the red text.
