The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1849 - 838: Return (Part 2)

In Saint Longde, although supporting Trolian is absolutely correct and unquestionable, resistance still exists.

The resources of Saint Longde aren’t just blown in by the wind; they are accumulated bit by bit through countless hardships and bloodshed. Sending large quantities to another kingdom certainly feels uncomfortable.

But Rod’s presence perfectly solves this problem. His and Bossivale’s assistance to Saint Longde is equally immense; many in Saint Longde believe that having more Half Kings means possessing more Primordials.

Half Kings are the hope for everything, the most important foundation. The more of these strong entities there are, the more prosperous a kingdom can be.

As for the issue of fortune, it can be resolved using Divine Source Material.

Thus, Trolian helping them to quickly surpass the Monarch stage is a great achievement.

Because of this, Trolian’s reputation in Saint Longde reached an extremely high level. It even became a new trend, and many upper-class figures take pride in befriending a Trolian.

However, there are very few Trolians in Saint Longde—only Rod, Bossivale, and a small number of priests or priests who followed. Meeting them is very difficult.

In this situation, every Trolian’s status is elevated greatly, especially Rod.

Rhein even specifically came to tell Rod, "You should take some time to attend their social events."

Upon hearing this, Rod’s brows almost furrowed apart.

"Why? Isn’t this a waste of time?"

Rhein shook his head and explained: "No one can face the darkness infinitely; releasing pressure and feeling the warmth of human society is necessary... Of course, most importantly, you should seize this opportunity to earn higher goodwill for Trolian, completely eliminating all barriers between the two kingdoms."

Rod felt quite troubled: "Is it necessary?"

Rhein’s expression didn’t look quite natural: "It is. Although I don’t know why, this is the Great Shepherd Leader’s order. I think there must be a reason behind it."

Rod felt a bit puzzled, but the Great Shepherd Leader would not fail to see the significance of things. Since they earnestly pleaded, he could only reluctantly agree.

Thus, in these few days, no matter how busy Rod was, he always took time to accept their invitations.

The overly heavy workload left Rod feeling mentally and physically drained, but for humanity’s future, he had no choice but to bear this pain.

"Ah, I’m simply too great," Rod sighed in his heart, accepting another luxurious invitation.

Just like that, unknowingly, the Hunter of countless young married women became a household name in Saint Longde. For a long time afterward, the name ’Rod’ became a symbol of romance in Saint Longde.

If anyone calls you very "Rod-like," then congratulations, your status in their heart is already very high.

Of course, Rod currently doesn’t know all this, but just seeing the golden light boiling over Star Square is enough to make people satisfied.

Finally, about a week later, the Great Shepherd Leader finally emerged from a closed state. Rhein excitedly told Rod they could meet with the Great Shepherd Leader tonight.

Plus, there’s even better news: the Terminator of all, Solos, will return from the Dead Zone battlefield to the Saint Longde Royal City tomorrow.

Rod’s heart was filled with anticipation.

He has lingered in the Half King stage for too long and is eager to move forward.

On another front, the Dream Realm has been delivering good news continuously during this period.

Firstly, with the efforts of the Book of the Future, Rod’s destiny trajectory has finally been repaired. Although only used for such a short time during the battle with the Black Fog Primordial Body, it took a long time to fix.

The side effects of Burning Destiny are indeed immense.

Then there’s the Book of the Future itself, which, under the nourishment of the Dream Realm, has finally recovered from its wounds and can start consuming new Destiny Energy after overcoming many difficult prophecies.

This time, Rod fed it 25 units of Destiny Energy in one go, an unprecedented amount.

What’s even more startling is that the Book of the Future did not enter sleep mode; it is now able to adapt to the process of digesting Destiny Energy.

"Hahaha, Master, I’ve grown stronger again!"

The Book of the Future laughed joyfully, its pages flashing continuously, its spiritual body glowing with destiny’s golden light.

Suddenly, a strange idea surfaced in Rod’s mind. He recalled that one of the prerequisites for stepping into Primordial is to bear Source Law with a spiritual body!

For humans to achieve this, they require immensely complicated operations, overcoming colossal difficulties, and through great efforts, under numerous conditions, they can eventually succeed.

However, from the very beginning, the destiny Source Law of the Book of the Future is engraved on its spiritual body.

What does this imply?

Could the Book of the Future have been a Source Law strong entity from the beginning?

Rod found it hard to believe. The power of the Book of the Future is weak, its Source Law is very peculiar and hard to specifically define the strength, but it should not be stronger than himself.

To this, the Book of Knowledge explained: "Perhaps, once the Book of the Future was in that realm, but it fell from Primordial due to the Dream Realm’s fragmentation, and now it’s just in the process of returning to Primordial."

The book’s reasoning made sense, and a greater sense of anticipation rose in Rod’s heart.

Not only for the Book of the Future but more for the complete Dream Realm.

To his delight, just on this day, the Dream Bubble finally passed through the gray boundary area, arriving at the Nest of Destruction.

This is a space full of destructive energy, where bright yellow light permeates the entire region, accompanied by destructive high heat throughout this high-level Spirit Realm area.

If not for the strong protection of the Dream Realm now, they wouldn’t even be able to stay here long.

Upon entering the Nest of Destruction, as usual, the Dream Realm seized its underlying energy.

new Dream Creation appeared on the Stone Platform.

Heart of Destruction

Ignite the Burning Curse of destruction, sacrificing soul and life to obtain the indescribable Heart of Destruction.

Requires: 1000 units of Soulless Soul Flower, 1 unit of Eternal Dream

(Note: Requires strong soul)

Can only make one.

——

Seeing this complete creation, Rod’s brows furrowed tightly together.

What is the purpose of this thing? Sacrificing soul and life just to obtain the Heart of Destruction?

"Hmm."

The Book of Knowledge pondered.

"This Heart of Destruction might be a type of Source Material; perhaps the master should try making it."

Rod shook his head: "Forget it. Unless the next Star needs it to complete quantification, I don’t want to use the Eternal Dream."

The Book of Knowledge was not very concerned either; it was more interested in the Dream Fragment.

"Master, I’ve already identified the location of the Dream Fragment. We should soon obtain it."

Rod nodded: "Quickly!"

Right now, he truly wished for the flow of time to hasten; countless fruits are laid before him, awaiting his picking.

To dismiss this anxious feeling, Rod had no choice but to invest his energy elsewhere.

It so happened that Rhein invited him to the Prophetic City of Saint Longde.

Rod gladly accepted.

It’s one of the core areas of Saint Longde, comparable to Troli’s White Tower in status.

However, the strength of the Prophetic City is several orders of magnitude higher than the White Tower.

It’s constructed from countless Towers of Prophecy, forming an extraordinarily strong Prophecy Matrix, where prophetic power accumulates between high towers, and when fully operational, it can accomplish incredible prophecies.

This is the masterpiece of the Great Shepherd Leader, embodying an intelligence difficult for common people to imagine.

According to Rhein, the Prophetic City achieved an unprecedented feat—breaking the inspiration, intuition, and unclear, mystical haze required for prophecy with the power of scale.

In the Great Shepherd Leader’s theory, as long as the scale of the Prophetic City expands infinitely, it will be able to prophesy anything in the universe, including all the past, all the future, and everything in the present.

Of course, this is practically impossible; Saint Longde can only try to expand the scale of the Prophetic City as much as possible.

Under Rhein’s guidance, Rod quickly reached the Prophetic City, located at the edge of the Saint Longde Royal City.

But to Rod’s shock, upon meeting the High Priests of the Prophetic City, he learned that the biggest difficulty the Prophetic City now faces is.

The sewer is clogged.
