the last king of darkness

Everyone looked attentively and saw that in Rhode's palm, he was holding a mass of matter emitting a strange light.

It's hard to tell what material it is made of. It looks like solid light or misty clouds. In Rhode's hands, it seems to permeate the entire world, giving people an uncertain sense of existence.

"Is this the deified source matter?"

Dalin asked in amazement, and cautiously reached out his hand to touch it.

"Strange, I could feel myself touching something, but it seemed weightless, like a phantom."

Rhodes nodded: "Its existence is very special. It is completely different from ordinary spiritual matter. It is even different from the source of matter. The base of the divine source composed of it is extremely strong and almost indestructible. If I hadn't taken it out in advance, His soul, perhaps, we can never break.”

Wang said in a deep voice: "Little Rhodes is right, no attack of mine can break it."

Dalin frowned and said, "Then why didn't the Blood God hide inside from the beginning?"

"The base of the divine source is the foundation that carries the divine soul. Returning to the base means that the blood god's soul has withdrawn into his foundation and can no longer affect the outside world."

Rhodes explained:
“All his influence is gone except his kingdom of God.”

Wang added: "It is equivalent to giving up the fight completely. You can understand it as the last fortress of the ancient gods, which can only be used to save lives."

"But."

Dalin said eagerly.

"If Little Rhodes hadn't taken out his soul, wouldn't all your previous efforts have been in vain? The Blood God has left the battle and can no longer affect the outside world, but you can no longer affect him. After he recovers, come and invade again what to do?"

Everyone fell silent, and after a long time, the king spoke.

"It seems that defeating the ancient god this time was a bit of a fluke, but I believe there must be some kind of solution."

Wang paused, took the deified source of matter from Rhodes' hand, and observed it carefully for a moment.

"I have a feeling that the deified source matter may be a special source matter. It is God who transformed it into his own source matter through some method. It is in this way that they build the divine source base. Seat... If my guess is correct, this must be the key to becoming a god in the ancient era."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of Professor Binns and Professor Barrett flashed with wisdom.

"I think that after the end of the ancient era, the orthodox way of ascending to the gods must have been lost."

Professor Binns said slowly.

"No, even at the end of the ancient era, he could no longer become a god. Little Rhodes said that the giant king Omir is a human being and a true king."

Professor Barrett thought: "At that time, the righteous gods and the subordinate gods had not yet fallen. It is difficult to imagine that the method of the ascension ceremony would be lost. Perhaps due to some changes, the road to becoming an ancient god was blocked. Therefore, there is a new path to become the god of mankind - the true king."

Everyone fell silent, silently chewing on Professor Barrett's words.

At this time, Rhodes suddenly said: "The will of the Blood God told us that all ancient gods are human beings!"

Everyone looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Professor Barrett shouted: "Yes, it must be that for some reason, the original path to becoming a god collapsed, and new righteous gods could not be born. Therefore, at the end of the ancient era, there were only four righteous gods, and the other seven No god can take this final step."

Rhodes thought with lightning in his mind, and in an instant, the fog that had been bothering him for a long time disappeared. He finally understood why in the illusion of [Giant Power], the ancestor of the giants paid so much attention to the new giant king Omer.

His celebration was so grand that many people in the giant family were jealous.

Obviously, he represents the new path - the path of the king.

The king sighed: "So that's it. No wonder the ancient gods have no restrictions, but the true king has restrictions, because these are two completely different paths. The ancient gods use the divine source base as the basis for becoming a god, while the true king uses human beings as the basis for becoming gods." The destiny of mankind is the foundation for bearing the burden. Human destiny is limited. If too many true kings are born, it will inevitably be unable to bear the burden."

Armando coughed: "Is there any way to improve human luck?"

Wang shook his head slightly: "I can't be sure, but the more powerful humans are, the stronger their destiny must be. The destiny I borrowed is actually Trolian's destiny. I can vaguely feel that it can hardly carry the second one." A true king."

Armando's face became solemn: "It seems that the more powerful the true king, the more powerful the load he needs. The ancient god must need more deified source matter to strengthen his divine source base, and The True King also needs a stronger human civilization to carry his soul."

Dalin sighed: "No wonder the number of true kings is limited. Not only is human luck limited, the more true kings there are, the lower their upper limit of power will be."

At this time, Rhodes suddenly remembered that he had summoned the phantom of the previous Dream Lord Hegeol, who told him that he must open up more roads and find more ways.

He didn't think deeply about it at that time, he just thought that Hegeor was doing it to strengthen the overall strength of mankind.

But now it seems that it obviously refers to a path other than the true king of mankind.

For example, if the white spirit bearers, black spirit bearers, and the unawakened ones continue to develop and find a new way to become true kings and become kings in a new way, they can break through the limit of the number of true kings and allow human beings to become kings. Have more top strong men.

Rhodes suddenly thought of something: "Book, if I become a true king, will I be restricted?"

The Book of Knowledge muttered: "Master, I don't think so. Dreams are a completely different special path. When you awaken the Great Star, you can have the fundamental source. The Great Star itself is the carrier of the fundamental source."

Rhodes' heart was suddenly filled with joy. If dreams were not restricted, then mankind would have one more true king without any burden.

The same must be true for those special human beings. For example, Alan, as long as he can circumvent the restrictions of fate and find a way to carry his soul and fundamental source, he can become an unrestricted true king.

Rhodes told everyone his thoughts in another way.

Everyone suddenly became excited, and even the king smiled with joy.

"Little Rod is right, we need to develop more ways of power."

Armando pondered: "It seems that it is necessary for Khalil and the Forbidden Armed Forces to continue to develop."

Professor Binns smiled and said: "There are also war golems from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute. Who said that a combat body of machinery and steel cannot achieve the combat power of a true king?"

Professor Barrett said loudly: "Yes, the power of psychic technology is unlimited. When they master the truth, they may be able to create a war structure comparable to the true king."

If not many people could accept such a view in the past, even if the War Golem of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute had already made a splash on the battlefield, people would only think that it was only a temporary power and not orthodox.

But now, everyone including Dalin accepted it in an instant.

"The two great scholars are right. It seems that we should pay more attention to the war artifacts of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute."

Wang said in a deep voice.

“The more ways to save the world, the better.”

"We need more partners. If one day, the ancient gods invade our homeland, we will have enough power to fight against them." Wang's words were agreed by everyone. The existence of the ancient gods is terrifying, but they also There may not be any countervailing force.

Everyone quickly reached a consensus that the most important thing for Trolian at the moment is still the growth of combat power. They must have more high-level combatants, more special combatants, more kings, and more. Many true kings.

The Fire Bearer's Spiritual Fire Sequence and Spark Sequence are still the most important of all combat powers. More than 9% of Trolian's strong men are Fire Bearers.

After Percival's adjustments, there is already a standard and efficient system for the promotion of Fire Bearers. The only thing lacking now is the skyrocketing demand for resources.

As standards change and the number of people increases, resource requirements at full capacity are more than five hundred times greater than they were two years ago.

Such a huge number is far beyond Trolian's ability to bear now. They urgently need more resources.

And with the death of the Blood God, a large area in the southwest is no longer in fatal danger.

Therefore, Dalin proposed plans for further expansion.

"Following the road we once opened to the Kingdom of Saint Rey, we can continue to expand, and even eventually include Saint Rey's original territory into our territory."

This extremely grand plan shocked everyone. Assuming that Trorian really expanded all the way and swallowed up the entire Saint Real and the area between them, their territory would expand to an unprecedented level, at least five points. A gray earth continent, all occupied by Trorian.

If all the resources are mined, it will definitely be enough to meet resource requirements for full capacity operation.

But the problem is that the difficulty of this plan is obvious. Trorian has just completed its expansion, and its territory has expanded more than ten times. The newly occupied land has not been fully digested yet, and it will once again swallow up a much larger land than before. Will it happen? Indigestion?
Dalin meant to swallow it first and then digest it slowly. The death of the Blood God made those areas a kind of "ownerless" land. If you don't take advantage of the situation, it will be a waste of natural resources.

"Don't worry about defense. I have already understood that the spiritual curtain of the Star Marrow Altar can be expanded. As long as more soul resources are provided, it is enough to create a super shelter that occupies one-fifth of the continent! "

Dalin's tone seemed very confident, but he also admitted that this plan was an immature plan. He had not originally planned to come up with it at this time, but after learning the truth about the ancient gods and the ancient gods, he couldn't wait.

Humanity needs stronger power.

Everyone was a little hesitant, but they were also leaning towards him.

After discussion, Wang decided to give limited approval to his plan.

"First try to expand outward with part of your strength, and then expand with all your strength when the time is right."

Although Dalin was a little regretful, he accepted the plan.

In addition to the fire bearers, white spirit bearers, black spirit bearers, and the unawakened have all received attention. The research and development of these paths have all been officially put on the agenda of the royal city. This is the first time in history. of.

The Industrial Machinery Research Institute received even greater support, and Wang decided to further promote scholars with knowledge among Trorian, making it as important as the Trial of Fire.

Rhodes even proposed many selection methods based on previous experiences.

Of course, the development and cultivation of human beings is the top priority of everything. You must know that every human being may be a special way to break through the rules.

Only Percival can do all this, and the king decided to equip him with a battle group to assist him in his work.

At the same time, the Jinworth Society and the Big Library will also participate in jointly studying the correct path of growth for every human being.

The second thing is to once again look for human civilization outside of Trorian.

No matter what, in this world shrouded in black mist, every additional human compatriot has more power to fight against the black mist.

What's more, the remaining two human civilizations should be much more developed than Trorian.

To them, the calming of the black mist was something close to a miracle.

If they can unite, their power against the black mist will become even stronger.

Of course, this search is much more difficult than before. The survey corps has to leave the Gray Earth Continent and search for possible human civilization on three other continents.

The journey is so long and the situation so dangerous that it is unprecedented.

How to do it specifically needs to be studied.

The last thing is to trace the past history and find the secret of the seal.

Everything about the ancient gods is only inference and speculation so far. They need to find more secrets to understand everything about them.

Both Rhodes and Wang believed that the secret hidden in this might determine the future direction of the world.

As for the deified source substance, the king returned it to Rhodes. He could not use this special substance. The essence of the true king was different from that of the ancient gods. His foundation had been determined and could no longer be changed.

Moreover, they did not master the method of using the deified source matter, and Rhodes did not find any effect on it, so he could only put it back into the dreamland temporarily.

When the matter was discussed and the dust settled, everyone couldn't wait to leave the Holy Fire Sacrifice. They couldn't wait to get back to work.

The king also needs further treatment. Although his injuries are not fatal, they are still very serious. The broken throne of the God of Origin has caused serious damage to his soul. Even with the best treatment, it will take at least a long time to fully recover.

During this time, the king was unable to fight, so he handed over this burden to Rhodes.

After all, he is the second strongest person in Trolian, and no one is stronger than him except the king.

He has just proven his business ability and leadership ability, and even has high prestige.

No one is more suitable than him.

Rhodes didn't really want to take on this important task, but when he thought about the possibility of divinity, he agreed.

Wang looked very happy: "Little Rhodes, I feel relieved to have you take care of things. During my period of recuperation, Trorian will be left in your hands."

Rhodes felt a little stressed, but he still replied without hesitation: "Please rest in peace, King, I will take care of everything."

The king nodded and sank into the holy fire.

Soul Master Priscilla followed closely. She needed to heal the king in the environment of holy fire.

Rhodes also left the Holy Fire Sacrifice and returned to the Black Battle Group's station.

He still had several important things to do, but the most important thing was to return to the dreamland and check out the artifact left by the Blood God, the Eye of Black Blood.

It is calling in the soul.
