the last king of darkness

Chapter 714 Ignite the Star (Second update)
The end of the 1326st week of the 9th month of the year 71 in the Teslevian Gregorian calendar.

Tuesday.

The first hour of noon, the sixth mark.

The first true king in Trorian history is born.

He broke the chain of black mist in the sea of ​​origin, blocking and suppressing the power of origin possessed by all living beings.

Humanity has thus entered a new stage.

——Senior scholar of the Great Library, Sedio

There are hundreds of such records, which describe the grand occasion of the day from all angles and contain a large number of photographic crystals.

These precious records are properly placed in the large library, and they will be passed down forever with the continuation of Trorian as a mark of the existence of human civilization.

However, in such exciting times, there are always people who jump out to disrupt the situation.

Rhodes repeatedly pointed out that the image crystal can only be stored for a few decades at most. The psychic energy in the crystal will continue to decay, eventually leading to the loss of information, and the paper recording the text will also rot with the passage of time.

This is part of the reason why there have been many gaps in Trorian's history.

The best way is to carve the words on the stone and then use spiritual energy to solidify them, which can ensure that they will not change for billions of years.

But the scholars in the big library were all arrogant and conceited, and they couldn't listen to their opinions at all. Instead, they scolded Rhodes for being ignorant and should not give random opinions, which made Rhodes very angry.

Fortunately, he is no longer the little shrimp he once was. He only mentioned one sentence, and Horus gave them a full penalty for disrespecting the "black rice bucket" without saying a word. What was even more terrifying was from the Jinworth Society. Internal pressure.

Most of the big scholars had a good personal relationship with Rhodes, and many of them disliked the arrogant attitude of the scholars in the big library.

Once a great scholar with a huge reputation in the academic world opposes it, their reputation will be ruined. These library scholars consider themselves historical recorders and value reputation most.

They immediately caved and began making record changes as Lord suggested.

I have to say that after this modification, I also found that Rhodes’ method is really useful. The words carved on the stone give people an inexplicable sense of weight and security. If the stone is made older, it can also show a sense of security. The high-end sense of history is much stronger than thin paper.

As a result, this method suddenly became popular among big libraries, and Wang Cheng even approved some additional funds for this purpose, which was used to purchase stones and warehouses to store stones.

But Rhodes was not happy after winning.

Because the "crime of disrespecting the black bastard" has been established as a law by the First Elder Armando through the Supreme Council. In Trorian, anyone who triggers this crime will be imprisoned in the black bastard to ponder their mistakes.

Rhodes looked at the golden text in front of him sadly.

Assist the continuation of civilization, divinity +10
Fortunately, this incident brought him some divinity, otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss.

During this period of time, Rhodes has been completely immersed in the acquisition of divinity.

Everything he does is to obtain divinity. The first thing he does when he opens his eyes every day is to see how far he is from igniting the divinity of the Great Star.

The second thing is to think about how to gain more divinity.

I have to say that this matter has become very difficult now, and most of the previous methods no longer work.

Trorian's expansion has been completed, and there are basically no threatening monsters inside.

The Wall of Black Mist is operating well, and the Star Marrow Altar only consumes thousands of psychic crystals and spirits every day to maintain its work.

The priest responsible for maintaining the altar told him that after inserting the second ancient artifact, the efficiency of the Star Marrow Altar increased significantly, and the resources consumed were reduced by as much as 30.00%.

If more artifacts can be found, the efficiency of the Star Marrow Altar will be further improved.

But finding the seven slave gods who created the altar and seizing their artifacts is obviously something that is difficult to accomplish at this stage.

There are basically no threats around Trorian.

The first defense officer, Chang Lin, has organized the defense extremely smoothly. The "patrol team" and "sentry tower" mechanisms inside and outside the Black Mist Wall have been established and perfected to ensure that no fish will slip through the net.

The four "gateway" cities are built like copper and iron walls.

The wandering monsters gathered from outside the black mist and were killed in a field where humans had an absolute advantage. They were left with corpses everywhere, unable to fight back.

For the first time, humans used absolute superiority to unilaterally kill monsters.

Therefore, Rhodes basically has no chance to obtain divinity from this aspect.

He has basically dug up all the ruins inside Trolian by himself. Excavation of the ruins outside is not only inefficient, but also consumes a portion of the energy of destiny. Since the Book of the Future showed its value, Rhodes I have decided to leave all the energy of destiny to it.

It's not worth the cost.

The only thing that allowed him to make a profit was the development of the ruins of the Asdala Tower.

Although this giant tower has completely lost its power, its wreckage still contains many precious materials, such as a meditation chamber made of true silver and star marrow, which can create an environment for the soul to meditate with higher efficiency. It was moved back to the royal city as soon as it was dug out.

Provide rare resources, improve the overall strength of the orderly ones, divinity +25
But that's all. It is difficult for Rhodes to obtain divinity in terms of combat and resources.

The only way is to stay away from Trolian and go to the depths of darkness to kill powerful monsters.

However, the efficiency of doing so is too low. The divinity obtained by killing monsters that are not a direct threat to humans is not much, and it is still dangerous. It also loses the divinity he gained in the royal city, which is more than worth the gain.

If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't care about the bullshit way the big library used to record history. Those recordkeepers were like bullshit and didn't want to touch it.

The only remaining way to obtain divinity is to help Percival promote the geniuses in the royal city.

This is also his main approach now.

Ever since the king issued the grand goal of twenty kings, the entire royal city has been plunged into a frenzy.

Cultivation and improvement have become the main theme of everything, and nothing can compare with it.

Even civilians who have not ignited the soul fire are still keen to discuss this matter, and those who still have the opportunity to undergo the trial of fire are even more crazy. One of the manifestations is the emergence of training courses that "guaranteed to pass the trial".

They claim to have mastered Lord Percival's top secret techniques. As long as they practice according to their teachings, they can ensure that their souls are ignited by fire and become a glorious fire bearer.

Obviously, this is a lie.

For the trial of fire, the only way to increase the success rate is to ensure the purity of the soul and enhance the power of the holy fire.

There is no other way.The Internal Affairs Judgment Office has also noticed the signs and is attacking with all its strength. Many people have been arrested. After interrogation, it is found that in addition to those who are obsessed with money, there are also doomsday cultists lurking among them. The training methods they provide can Leading to the corruption of the soul and even contamination of the fire that ignites the soul.

Chief Adjudicator Lucian immediately began a rigorous investigation. Now he has entered the ranks of Herrschers. The source law of the "eye of the heart" can directly understand the fluctuations of the soul's thoughts. It is very useful for detecting lies and finding those with evil intentions. .

Following the clues, another group of doomsday cultists were eliminated, but the clues were cut off.

Under the current circumstances, those who can still become doomsday cultists are very extreme people. According to Rhodes, they are purified crystal powder. Their will is very terrifying. They basically fight to the death or commit suicide and cannot be caught. Live mouth.

However, the hidden clue set by Chief Judge Lucien - the fired Grand Chief Manolo Bana has already connected with the doomsday cultists, and I believe that we will soon be able to sneak into them and find traces of ancient evil thoughts.

Rhodes didn't care about this action. In his eyes, this guy was no different from a bug. If he dared to jump back, he would be killed with just one finger. If he could really make a great contribution, let Rhodes find and kill him. If you want to kill Ake, then you can consider forgiving him for his past evil deeds.

It doesn't matter if it fails. Rhodes's views have changed now. Pursuing the ancient evil thoughts is not the focus. Trolian's strength is the most important. Anyway, he has two or five sons, Asa, and the ancient evil thoughts can't hide it no matter what tricks they use. past.

As long as you are strong, you are not afraid of external interference.

Helping more powerful people to advance is his main goal now.

Fortunately, the Book of the Future soon wakes up from its hibernation, and once again it needs to absorb the energy of destiny through frequent use of its destiny abilities.

As it further controls the power of destiny, its ability to predict people has been greatly improved. It often decides on all the candidates and orders for the day at the very beginning of the day, and can even replace Percival's. Part of the work is to choose a practice and improvement plan for a specific person.

This undoubtedly brought great help to Percival. The geniuses' practice efficiency was further improved, and hundreds of people were promoted almost every day.

The number of high-level combatants increased dramatically, and the combat power rating system in the royal city collapsed. All complicated procedures were omitted. As long as the psychic level reached the standard, you would be immediately promoted.

From a distance, the entire royal city formed a huge spiritual whirlpool, and even the deepest spiritual ocean in the world tilted slightly towards here.

Of course, the bigger reason for this is that Wang broke the chains that suppressed them, and everyone's potential was greatly released.

The true king is an upright protector, and he has cut a huge road to the sky for Trolian.

What is even more unbelievable is that with the birth of the True King, the Holy Fire has become more powerful, and the speed of practice of all those bathed in the Holy Fire has been further improved.

Coupled with the divine potion made from the true king's slough, the pure star source potion, and the soul potion made from the fruit of the holy white tree, the warriors' strength has increased at an unimaginable rate.

In Percival's words, it was a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time and erupted.

Under this circumstance, both Jon and Qingyu successfully completed the king ceremony and became the seventh and eighth king of Trolian.

Later, with the help of Rhodes, Pebela and the Red Queen completed a special time ritual.

The core of the ceremony is the source material "Stone of Time" that Rhodes obtained previously.

The birth of these two kings brought 100 points of divinity to Rhodes.

There are not as many as expected, mainly because they are already very close to the king level.

As for the powerful Pure Star Source Potion and God's Potion, he has already obtained divinity.

Thus were born the ninth and tenth kings of Trollian.

Rhodes is also very close to the divinity of 2500.

This little gap was already closed when he opened his eyes the next day.

Source energy operation, divinity +26
The divinity derived from the Dream Apostle Mephis, +11
Derived from the divinity of dream apostles Annabeth, Cassian, Frank, and Molly, +9
Divinity derived from other Dream Apostles, +3
Total Divinity: 2541
-

At this moment, a burst of ecstasy surged in Rhode's chest, like a large piece of honey being released in his heart, and blood flowed to his limbs and bones.

The Book of Knowledge shouted wildly: "Master, master, the divinity is enough! We can ignite the giant star!"

The puppet also looked very excited, but his tone remained calm: "Master, this will be your most important step."

The Book of the Future flaps its pages excitedly. The power of its master is the guarantee of its future. After Asa's influence, it has set its goal to merge the Book of the Past and the Book of the Present, control all the energy of destiny, and become the Book of Destiny. King, this will prevent the future of being unable to shit.

Asa was also very excited. If the master couldn't become a god, how could he become the king of poop-devouring people?

Rhodes forced himself to calm down. With a thought, he returned to the dreamland and asked, "Shu, is the dreamland safe now?"

The Book of Knowledge replied excitedly: "It's very safe. We are far away from the Demonic Wilderness. We are in the center of the junction of the Demonic Wilderness and the City of Disaster. There is still a week left until we reach the City of Disaster." , such a blank area is like an abyss of void, an empty place without any material or spiritual existence, please don’t worry.”

Rhodes nodded and glanced at the Star Tower.

It had been repaired yesterday, but in order to retain its divinity, he did not awaken the star soul.

That's right.

It's time to light up the giant star.

Rhodes took big steps towards the obelisk.

The first step to ignite is to upgrade the source.

He pressed his hands on the obelisk, and two white mist appeared in front of his eyes.

The feedback from the dream told him that the white mist above was a special source upgrade. 10 copies of the strong source and 1 copy of the colorful dream could upgrade a fundamental source.

The white mist below is a regular source upgrade. Only 25 strong sources can be upgraded to a fundamental source.

This kind of promotion is much simpler than the king's promotion, but this kind of fundamental source is not the fundamental source engraved in the soul. It cannot directly bring the power of the fundamental source to Rhodes, but needs to be invested in the stars to strengthen it. Stars can only gain the same power after awakening their star souls.

Therefore, this is a completely different path from that of Wang, and it belongs only to Rhodes.

Rhodes took a deep breath and decisively chose the above method, putting 10 copies of Power Source and 1 copy of Colorful Dream into the obelisk.

The obelisk fell silent.

In Rhode's perception, it seemed to be isolated from the world, and all interactions with it were impossible.

An indescribable power surged from the obelisk.

It is so mysterious, distant, and profound, as if it has become a hollow in the universe in an instant.

He was standing in front of the boundless abyss, looking at the indescribable darkness.

boom!
