Chapter 727: Chapter 414 Spirit Channel

When the light of the Guardian Fire lit up here, dispelling the Black Fog and illuminating this vast, empty canyon, it signified that humanity had achieved complete victory in this battle.

Boiling cheers echoed throughout the canyon for a long time. Many warriors couldn’t help but bawl their eyes out. Such an oppressive and arduous battle was the most difficult they had ever experienced. Fighting amidst the endless corpses of giants, they saw no hope and once believed they would ultimately be overwhelmed by those terrifying undead giants.

But now, they had won.

The incredibly magnificent Storm Pass had been destroyed, and all the giants’ corpses had turned to ashes. Except for the remnants of the foundation, no trace remained here.

From now on, Trolian had opened the largest passage from the Gray Soil Continent to the Dead Soil Continent.

This was something that no one had accomplished since the establishment of the Trolian Kingdom over a thousand years ago.

The news reached the Royal City, causing the entire Military War Department to erupt in excitement.

All the commanders, defense chiefs, officers, and staff put aside their work and began cheering wildly, scattering papers and documents everywhere.

In the Supreme Council, the elders also showed relieved expressions.

Although they were conservative, it did not mean they did not hope for victory or crave strength; they were merely worried that such actions might provoke enormous risks.

Now, the King had proven with facts that his Holy Fire plan was feasible.

First Elder Amendo looked at his wrinkled hands. Apart from the cracked skin, there was nothing else, yet vaguely, he seemed to see fire in his hands.

"I seem to be holding hope."

Amendo thought to himself.

"Maybe, Trolian can usher in its second glory."

He stood up and, in a hoarse and muddled but clearly audible voice, said.

"Everyone, let’s go. The King has kept his promise, and now it is time for us to fulfill ours."

The elders silently stood up and followed the First Elder out of the Supreme Council, heading to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

There, they would discuss with the King the most crucial step of the Holy Fire plan.

Soon, a meeting involving the highest levels of Trolian was convened at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

Almost all important figures were present. Those who couldn’t attend were replaced by images transmitted through Spiritual Energy communication.

Rod was also among them.

Due to his enormous merit, no one had any objections.

Many people had felt the power of the [Spirit Tide]. The Royal City immediately classified it as a strategic-level ability. Archbishop Horus personally conducted a detailed full-body examination of Rod, determined to find out all the strange abilities he possessed.

To avoid exposing the existence of the Dream Realm, Rod truthfully reported his current abilities and methods, but he concealed details about the Dream Realm. He didn’t mention anything about Divinity, only saying it came at a great cost and couldn’t be easily activated.

Even so, Rod’s examination results shocked all the examiners.

They had never seen a Starfire Series with so many functions. He had not only a powerful regenerative ability and a super-strong Spiritual Energy cannon but also an extremely strong Spiritual Vision, one-hit kill methods, and the ability to create various special artifacts.

The Royal City Library compiled a book solely for him, listing in great detail every special aspect of Rod.

The Military War Department established a special archive room for him to study how to utilize his abilities to achieve maximum effectiveness.

The Jinwoosi Society even set up a new school named the Rod School, with the sole task of researching how to replicate Rod’s success and find a second person possessing the Black Bread Bowl.

Of course, from the beginning, this school was destined to fail.

In short, Rod’s fame was unmatched for a time, overshadowing all new stars. The [Spirit Tide] was considered the perfect companion for military operations. According to calculations by the Military War Department, it could restore at least 30% of the total Spiritual Energy.

This was a rather astonishing figure.

Everyone was astounded that the ability of a single Fire Spark could restore so much Spiritual Energy, something unheard of.

Only Rod was not entirely satisfied.

The legion’s total energy consumption was too high, and even the [Spirit Tide] was drained. It ended prematurely, far from reaching the intended duration.

However, even so, the [Spirit Tide] was worth its 10 points of Divinity consumption.

This was why Rod had the right to sit in this meeting.

It must be known that even the elders had no seats here.

Only the most important figures in Trolian had the privilege to sit here.

At the meeting, the King officially disclosed the Holy Fire plan, explaining the fact that the Holy Fire was fading and their long-standing goal.

More than half of the people were shocked. Only a small portion had been involved in the Holy Fire plan, and most were unaware of its existence. They believed the King’s expansion was merely to secure more territory for humanity, to gain more resources, and to let the fire illuminate a larger world.

Little did they know that the King’s ambition far exceeded their expectations. His real target was the Royal City of the Starry Kingdom, Tasnia Star City, the last Human Kingdom of the Fire Epoch.

That was a Fire King City that had been sunken in darkness for over a thousand years.

Compared to the Dark Epoch when the fire dimmed and mankind waned, humans during the Fire Epoch were far stronger. The Fire King City in that era was much more powerful than the current Fire King City.
