The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 781: Chapter 435: Splendor and Curtain Fall

A horrific howl erupted from the corpse, its body suddenly convulsing spasmodically, twisting to the extreme as if an invisible giant hand was twisting its dead flesh.

Seconds later, there was a loud "bang" as the corpse burst open.

Black decaying matter splattered in all directions, the pieces and powder of the body littering the ground.

However, accompanying this terrifying scene was a grand and brilliant, warm golden light.

Jessica, with the most sensitive perception, was moved in her soul and immediately sensed its essence.

"This is a blessing..."

Rod felt a grand and warm breath permeate his soul, restoring his Spiritual Energy, healing the damage.

Soron exclaimed in amazement, "What a strong blessing."

Bathed in the golden light, his wounds healed rapidly, his Spiritual Energy replenished, and even the impurity was cleansed, purifying all contamination and erosion that he had suffered.

"My wounds, my soul, they are all healed... Oh my god... I have never seen such a powerful blessing."

Rod clenched his hand, a flash of Spiritual Energy lighting up his palm, his surprise far exceeding theirs.

His weakened state was lifted!

It should be known that the weakness from the "Giant God Power" was not just a negative state, but a damage to the core of the soul.

This kind of damage was very deep and difficult to repair and could only be healed by the soul slowly recovering on its own.

To date, aside from the Second Level Combatant Misole, who had fought with him in the Soul Devouring King Castle and had taken over the burden once by transferring souls, and the time he alleviated the weakened state with death, the weakness from the "Giant God Power" had never been cured; it always healed over time on its own.

But this blessing was the first to be able to cure his weakness.

"What is this? Why would there be a blessing hidden inside a corpse?"

No one could answer.

Soron crouched down to inspect the remains, but apart from the decaying matter that was dissipating, he found no clues.

Jessica glanced around, the cavern didn’t seem naturally formed, nor did it look like it was artificially excavated. Instead, it seemed like a cavity blasted open by a powerful attack.

She looked at the remnants of text on the ground.

It was the Star language commonly used in the Starry Kingdom, the writing hasty and smeared with blood, as if a cry of despair from a mind crumbling in the face of death.

Especially the last question.

The varying depths of the traces left on the rock seemed to reflect his trembling fingers and the immense hesitance in his heart.

What had happened here?

This was what they wanted to know most at the moment.

Rod inquired with the Book of Knowledge and the doll in his mind, both responded with ignorance.

The Book of Knowledge said, "My soul has not fully recovered, and the memory of the moment the Dream Realm shattered is blank, but the collapse of the Dream Realm definitely happened before the destruction of the Starry Kingdom; there are no traces of the Starry Kingdom in my memory."

The doll also shook its head, indicating that it only specialized in matters related to combat.

Rod turned his gaze to Asa, who was still in a frenzy, refusing to answer any questions.

But when Rod recalled the punishment of stabbing the most vulnerable part of the soul with the Spirit Needle, Asa immediately spoke up.

"How should I know about something from thousands of years ago? But based on common sense, such a powerful blessing could only be related to the Starry Queen."

Rod suddenly realized that a blessing with such strong efficacy 1500 years later could only belong to the king of the Starry Kingdom.

Then, could this corpse be the leader of the Fighting Star Knight Order, who, after defeat, had hidden here in despair and died?

At that moment, the Book of Knowledge suddenly said, "Master, if you really want to know about him, you could try using his remains and these traces as a Spiritual Medium and summon the past images close to him with the Book of the Past."

Rod asked in surprise, "Can it be done?"

"Yes," the Book of Knowledge replied, "It is one of the functions of the Book of the Past, but it requires a certain amount of Spirituality as a price."

The Dream Realm’s stock of Spirituality was not plentiful lately, and Rod frowned, "How much Spirituality is needed?"

"It depends on the Strength of the Spiritual Medium and the distance in time."

Rod hesitated for a moment. It had been a long time since he had used the Book of the Past, and since there was a need, he decided to use it.

His soul engaged the Book of the Past, placing both hands on the remaining text. The pages began to flip rapidly, the Dream Realm’s Spirituality was depleting.

Soron caught sight of his unusual actions and remembering how he had found evidence of human betrayal in the Royal City using this ability before, stopped Jessica who was about to step forward, saying, "Rod is trying to see into the past."

Jessica said in astonishment, "Little Rod... how does he have so many functions?"

Soron smiled faintly, "I had the same question once, but later I realized, some people are simply meant to be different."

Jessica nodded with a smile.

"I hope he can keep up with my pace in the future."

Soron looked at her and asked softly, "Are you getting close?"

Jessica nodded slightly.

"But your Spiritual Energy?"

"It will grow explosively."

They stopped talking and quietly watched Rod.

At this moment, the Book of the Past ceased flipping, but Rod was staring into pitch-black darkness, completely devoid of any images.

The voice of the Book of Knowledge reached his ears.

"The Spiritual Medium is incomplete, and the Book of the Past has not fully recovered. We can’t see images, only hear sounds."

Rod felt a tinge of regret; he had thought he would see the battle between the human powerhouses and the Black Fog 1500 years ago.
