Chapter 673: Chapter 393: The Beginning of the Great War_2

The resurrection of the puppet was not particularly difficult.

What was difficult was the resurrection of the Evil Ghost King.

After being instantly killed by the Dark Stars, the Evil Ghost King lay dormant in the Evil Ghost Stone Tank. Its resurrection required ten Evil Ghost Stones and ten Flowers of Humanity.

The Evil Ghost Stones could be exchanged for humanity in the Evil Ghost Stone Tank periodically, which was not very difficult.

But ten Flowers of Humanity was truly difficult.

Due to the massive consumption, the previously abundant Flowers of Humanity had dwindled to only five.

The losses from this battle were truly immense.

Fortunately, the gains were not bad either.

The Dark Stars’ soul was extremely strong. "Extremely Great Soul" was something he had seen for the first time.

Such an extreme name was enough to prove that the strength of the Dark Stars far surpassed that of ordinary Strong Monsters. Rod even suspected that even the legendary King Level Monsters might not be stronger than it.

What was most unbelievable was that the Dark Stars could change laws.

Rod had encountered such a monster for the first time. It had similarities to the decrees of the Giant Clan, but it was far stronger than any decree and much more free.

The Book of Knowledge told Rod that this was the utilization of the world’s laws.

The Sea of Source controlled the fundamental laws that govern the world, known as "Law."

The "Law" controlled by the soul was called the "Source."

Together, they were referred to as "Source Law," essentially the same in nature.

Therefore, controlling the Source was the same as controlling a part of the Sea of Source, which also meant possessing the authority to change the world and establish laws.

The more Source one possessed, the greater the changes one could make. The stronger the Source, the more fundamental the laws one could change.

Of course, changes were limited to within one’s own field, which was an extension of the soul and could be considered one’s own territory.

Changes outside one’s own field would soon be corrected by the world.

The Dark Stars possessed ten Sources. Its authority was very powerful, but typically, monsters did not use Source Law this efficiently. That the Dark Stars could strike them with such precision was a very strange thing.

Even more perplexing was why the laws established by the Dark Stars had disappeared and why it hadn’t tried to establish them again.

The Book of Knowledge speculated that something unexpected might have happened to the Doomsday believers who were influencing them, or possibly they were disturbed by the unpredictable energy of the high layers of the Spirit Realm.

But no matter the reason, such an event must not happen a second time.

Rod nodded. He finally completely understood the concepts of Source and Law. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Book, the quantified stars also control the Source. Can I possess this ability?"

The Book of Knowledge slightly shook its pages: "Master, you must first master the field, then the ability to control the Source before you can attempt to command the Law."

"But the Source of dreams is special, mainly used to connect to the lower levels of the Sea of Source, serving as the law that carries the energy channel. They continuously obtain energy for the Dream Realm and cannot be used arbitrarily."

Rod frowned and said, "Then even if I master that ability, I can’t command the Law?"

The Book of Knowledge replied, "But you can eliminate the laws that are unfavorable to us. In the past, many powerful warriors did not use this ability. They wrapped their fields around themselves, isolating most laws’ impacts on them and used explosive physical attacks and strong Spiritual Energy to eliminate enemies, which is also a very effective method."

It glanced at the puppet parts not far away, its script becoming dim.

"Aphro once told me in detail about information regarding Trolian. Your Starfire Series can never become the Fire Holder who commands the Law, as fragmented soul trajectories cannot obtain a complete Source."

"Theoretically, the Starfire Series are inferior warriors with no future, but there are always some special individuals who achieve unimaginable heights. They use this combat method as well."

"I have to admit, I was too arrogant and conceited before. Many of Trolian’s methods, means, and theories are very advanced. It’s hard to imagine that such a brilliant civilization could emerge in the dismal Dark Epoch of human defeat."

Rod looked at the Book of Knowledge in surprise. This brutal battle seemed to have profoundly changed the book.

"Book, you..."

The Book of Knowledge quivered its pages longly. If it were human, this movement would likely be a deep sigh.

"This battle, my performance was utterly abysmal, nowhere near worthy of being the master’s right-hand..."

Although Rod had some criticisms of the Book of Knowledge’s performance, he also knew that although it appeared clownish, and was indeed somewhat clownish, it hadn’t made any major mistakes and had done what it could.

It was just that the power of the Dark Stars was too strong; it just hadn’t held up.

"Book, it’s not your fault, we’re just too weak..."

"Really?"

The Book of Knowledge suddenly jumped up, its pages flipping rapidly: "Haha, I knew it wasn’t my fault, I am indeed the embodiment of wisdom and beauty!"

Rod frowned, looking at it, unsure whether what he had just said was right or wrong.

But at this point, he didn’t want to say more and turned to the side of the Obelisk where omens were displayed.

The red characters on the surface of the obelisk had disappeared, the red light no longer flickered, indicating that the next invasion was not likely to arrive soon.

The Book of Knowledge came to Rod’s side, its script again filled with worry.

"Master, this is not good news," it said, "it means the next invasion will be much stronger than those from the Dark Stars and Nightmare Night. Our situation will be even more difficult."

Rod’s expression darkened, and after a moment, he said, "We need to obtain more Dream Fragments, more Stars, more energy as soon as possible. How long until the Dream Fragment from the Light Country?"

The Book of Knowledge promptly replied, "I am accelerating it with all my might, a maximum of six days."

Rod calculated in his mind; he currently had sixteen sources, but only 35 points of Divinity left—an insufficient amount to ignite the next Star.

It seemed this round of enhancement had reached its limit.

Next, he could only rely on the Dream Fragments and the Source Material from the Stars for enhancement.

Meanwhile, he needed to make as much use as possible of the Dream Realm’s capabilities and creations to increase his combat strength.

The next significant boost would have to wait until after the next Star Flash event.

Similarly, the next invasion also had to be delayed until after the Star Flash.

Otherwise, it was impossible to defeat an invader stronger than the Dark Stars without Divinity.

The Book of Knowledge also realized this and wrote, "Rest assured, master, once we get the next Dream Fragment, we will have some hidden methods to delay the invasion."

Rod was somewhat assured by this, knowing that acquiring Divinity had become his top priority in the time to come.

His second goal was to obtain Dream Fragments, Source Material, and the Flower of Humanity.

The third goal was to acquire more souls and spirituality.

Additionally, the puppet and the Evil Ghost King must be rapidly repaired. The puppet was an essential assistant while the Evil Ghost King was a superb meat shield. If the Dream could provide more energy, the Evil Ghost King could be even "meatier."

Without them, facing the invasion would be impossible.

Once determined, Rod no longer hesitated, cast a final glance at the Obelisk, which displayed the following:

Soul Strength: 1502000

Soul Star: 9

Humanity: 21.91 million

Divinity: 35

Souls Without Spirit: 510 million

Obelisk: 1 Source

Soul Altar: 1 Extremely Great Soul (containing 10 sources), 3 Very Great Souls, 21 Great Souls (containing 3 sources), 123 Very Strong Souls (containing 2 sources), 1815 Other Souls

Spirituality: 51201

Storage: 10 portions of Nightmare Fuel, 40 portions of Nightmare Fuel, 1 Nightmare Gem, 119891 portions of Soul Residue, 5 Flowers of Humanity, etc.

Special Items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Undying Spirit, 1 Twisted Balance, 2 Light Bells

——

With a thought, Rod returned to the Material World.

The Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground was quiet, the Guardian Fire burned steadily, the Fire Priests and clergy stood silently around, and the warriors were still in meditation.

Everything was unchanged.

If Rod hadn’t experienced everything himself, he might have thought it was all just a dream.

He asked in his mind, "Book, why isn’t the change in this dream spreading out like last time?"

The Book of Knowledge answered, "The dream is more complete and stronger, its protective ability is becoming perfected, and the kind of leakage that happened before will not occur again."

Rod nodded, stood up, and planned to go to the Fire Hall’s supply hall to inquire if there was any Source Material Soil available for exchange.

Meanwhile,

at the Supreme Council,

the King and Amendo received the news simultaneously.

With Star City and Star Town as pivots, the major legions advanced swiftly, and Wind Fury Cape and Bone Mountain were successively occupied.

Thus, after months of fierce fighting, humanity finally arrived at Storm Pass.
