Chapter 649: Chapter 383 The Journey Begins_2

The puppet paused for a few seconds, then continued, "Master, the soul that was just restored is very weak, and I need to eat a lot of souls and spirituality."

Rod replied offhandedly, "No problem. How much do you need to eat each day?"

"Ten million souls and ten thousand points of spirituality."

Pfft!

Rod almost spat out his saliva, "Why do you need to eat so much? I remember the Book of Knowledge only ate a very small amount!"

The puppet calmly said, "The Book of Knowledge needs very few souls. It prefers various types of spiritual materials, rare ores, and pure spirituality."

The Book of Knowledge snorted, "Aphro, I am much more frugal than you."

Rod asked curiously, "Aphro, I remember you said you were a knight guarding the Dream Realm. When you are in complete state, how strong are you?"

The puppet paused for a few seconds and gave a non-answer, "Very strong."

Rod smartly changed his question, "What percentage of that strength do you currently have?"

The puppet replied, "Possibly half."

"And after using one portion of Divinity?"

"Roughly two or three times."

Rod immediately beamed with joy, "That strong, huh? Then eat as much as you like."

The Book of Knowledge shouted, "I want to eat, too."

Rod glanced at it, "Can you even eat now?"

The Book of Knowledge was choked up; its soul had fully recovered, and it couldn’t eat even if it wanted to.

Rod said with a smile, "Don’t worry. When you recover, I will feed you too, not a single portion less."

Hearing these words, the Book of Knowledge immediately cheered up and wrote, "Master, let’s restore the Fragments quickly. The more of the Dream Realm we restore, the stronger the overall power, and the stronger our ability to resist risks will be."

"Let’s hurry up and restore."

The second pattern on the back of my hand belongs to the House of God.

After Rod entered, a large cloud of mist flew out and landed on the left wall of the Light Platform.

The Book of Knowledge furiously wrote, "It’s the Divine Mirror! It’s the Divine Mirror! That’s great, with it our chances of surviving Nightmare Night significantly increase—we don’t have to fear the Dark Stars anymore! Hahaha! Hahaha! Our rise is about to begin!"

As the mist settled, an oval-shaped mirror embedded itself into the wall, around three yards tall and just over two yards wide. The edges were carved out with many hollow spaces and patterns, and the surface was covered with cracks, making it cloudy and impossible to see anything inside.

The laughter of the Book of Knowledge stopped abruptly as it wrote in disbelief, "Irreparable?"

At the same time, Rod sensed its message.

"Divine Mirror" (Damaged)

Not usable, "Spirit Realm Defense" (Ineffective)

Irreparable

---

Soon, Rod learned about the function of the "Divine Mirror" through the Dream Realm.

It is the core of Dream Protection, used to control and strengthen the protective forces of the Dream Realm, to repel invaders from within and without, to prevent corrosive and polluting forces from eroding the Dream Realm, and to mobilize the power of the Dream Realm to suppress invaders.

In the previous Nightmare invasion, it was very strenuous and inefficient for the Book of Knowledge to operate the Dream Protection directly, and also impossible to suppress the spread of corruption.

Moreover, the Dream Realm needs to not only protect against internal invasions but also resist direct strikes from the Spirit Realm.

All of these require the use of the Divine Mirror, otherwise, they could only operate on instinct.

But it was damaged.

Rod frowned, "Book, what do we do if it’s irreparable?"

The Book of Knowledge morosely wrote, "Then we can only wait until we find the ’Dream Factory’ fragment. We need souls and Divinity to create heavenly beings’ creations in order to repair it."

’Dream Factory’?

Yet another building he had never heard of before.

Rod stood outside the House of God, gazing into the distance.

The Dream Realm was sparsely filled with buildings, most places were just empty expanses.

Turning back, the interior of the House of God was also empty.

Only a bookshelf, a stone platform, a light platform, a rocking chair, and a mirror were there.

Rod couldn’t help but ask, "How much more do we have to restore?"

The handwriting of the Book of Knowledge became heavy, "A lot. The Dream Realm is still very weak, even though we’ve defeated many strong enemies. But in the face of true darkness, they are nothing."

"The only thing that can protect us now is Divinity, which is a force beyond the Law."

The usually silent puppet suddenly said, "If we could better leverage the power of Trolian to advance human development, we would be able to obtain Divinity more efficiently."

Rod’s thoughts were stirred by the puppet’s words—they made sense.

Personal power is finite, especially since he was not yet powerful enough to influence all of humanity.

But how to leverage the power of Trolian was something he still needed to consider.

The last pattern was a recipe.

Rod turned to the stone platform, placed his right hand on its surface, and a wisp of grey mist emerged, plunging into the stone platform.

Two new recipes appeared.

[Strong Soul Ashes]: A consumable item, summons a spectral phantom of the corresponding monster to fight for you, lasts for a clock hour.

Note: The strength of the monster cannot exceed the limit.

Required: Corresponding monster ash, the Complete Soul of the corresponding monster, 10 Flowers of Humanity, 10 points of Divinity.

---

[Star Mark]: Marks the target soul with a crossing-time-and-space mark, which can guide strikes from the Spirit Realm.

Required: 1 Flower of Humanity, 1 portion of Star Marrow.

---

After Rod understood what they were for, a surge of ecstasy overwhelmed him.

So strong!

[Strong Soul Ashes] is an upgrade of [Soul Ashes].
