the last king of darkness

Empire.

  Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

  When Rhodes stepped in, Horus and Kai were already here.

  "Little Rhodes, you have become stronger again." Kai smiled as soon as he saw him: "You are indeed our strongest new star."

  Rhodes looked at the Sun Knight in surprise. His soul was brilliant and powerful. The soul ripples submerged into the void, connecting heaven and earth. The powerful source flashed in the soul body.

  "This, these are the four fundamental sources? Kai, how did you become so strong?"

  Kai said with a smile: "Perhaps the soul ripples of the ancient Sun God are too powerful. Every once in a while, my soul body will plunder several Source Laws from the Sea of ​​Sources, and one of the Source Laws will be upgraded to the fundamental source. Then my spiritual power will skyrocket by 200 million kilometres, and will continue to increase for a period of time."

  There was also unconcealable joy in Horus's expression: "I have examined Kai's soul in detail and found no hidden dangers. The foundation of this strengthening is very solid. It is as solid as cultivation for thousands of years. Perhaps in the near future After that, the once great ancient sun god will be reborn in Trorian."

  Kai smiled and said, "I'm so lucky."

  Rhodes was also happy in his heart, but also a little worried: "Then Kai's will will not disappear, right?"

  Horus suddenly fell into deep thought, and this sentence hit the blind spot in his thinking.

  "This... I'm not sure, it probably won't be the case. The ancient sun god died in the early days of the ancient era. Everything about it has been left very little in history, except for a few ancient sun gods that have long been corrupted. God’s messenger has no existence related to him, and his will has long since dissipated and will never be resurrected.”

  Rhodes rubbed his chin: "Well, the Archbishop is right, but everything is possible. From the perspective of conspiracy theory, could the ripples in the soul of the ancient Sun God be left by him before his death? The backhand, after occupying a suitable soul, will gradually restore its strength, reawaken its will, and finally completely occupy his body, thus completing the resurrection."

  Horus's body trembled visibly.

  "No...this is impossible, right?"

  Even the Book of Knowledge is somewhat convinced: "No way? What will He do after resurrection? Is the ancient Sun God in the same camp as the Supreme Will?"

  Asa said coldly: "It's better to kill him now and seize his soul. This is a powerful soul with 4 fundamental sources, which is a great supplement to the master."

  Only the puppet seemed calm: "How did you know? Are you inspired?"

  Rhodes replied honestly: "I just made a wild guess."

  The Book of Knowledge suddenly became furious: "Can you please stop telling lies without any basis? No wonder I always feel like something is wrong."

  Asa snorted: "Only a fool like you can believe this."

  In the Holy Fire Sacrifice, Sun Knight Kai didn't pay much attention and said with a smile: "If this is true, that would be great."

  Rhodes was surprised: "Why?"

  "With the resurrection of such a powerful ancient god, don't we have another powerful ally? The king no longer has to worry about the pollution of the starry sky, and we no longer have to worry about the invasion of black mist. Moreover, he may know many ancient secrets. Including the birth of the black mist... If there is such a thing, wouldn't we be one step closer to completely eradicating the black mist? Wouldn't it be possible to see the blue and clean sky earlier? "

  "However, he may be an evil existence..."

  Kai shook his head slightly: "This is impossible. I can feel that power. It is full of light and heat, full of love and affection, full of dedication and sacrifice. The ancient sun god will definitely not be an evil ancient god. "

  "But, your consciousness completely disappeared..."

  Kai smiled and said: "If it is just a matter of sacrificing my consciousness to resurrect such a powerful and just ancient god, it is such a cheap good thing, then why should I hesitate?"

  It must be said that at this moment, Rhodes felt as if his heart was being burned. In a daze, the Sun Knight in front of him looked like the infinitely glorious Sun God.

  At this time, the king's figure emerged from the holy fire.

  "Little Rhodes, Horus, Kai, you are all here."

  Horus bowed and said, "King, do you have any urgent matters that require you to summon us back?"

  The king's expression became solemn and he said slowly: "I looked from the outer spiritual world to the upper spiritual world and saw a huge disturbance. Behind the disturbance were twelve powerful starry sky monsters. Behind them was boundless darkness. , the pollution in the entire starry sky is coming to the material world."

  Wang told the process of his observation in detail, and everyone's expressions became solemn.

  Horus said softly: "This may be the catastrophe predicted by the source, and the real crisis has arrived."

  Wang Shensheng said: "I have tried my best to protect the Trolian area, but this can only ensure that pollution will not directly invade the kingdom. The pollution of the entire material world will inevitably erode us... …Soon, we will encounter a stronger Black Mist, a more powerful Black Mist symbiote.”

  Rhodes suddenly remembered something and told everyone about the black mist of origin appearing less than 3000 yards away from Trolian.

  Horus' face was gloomy: "The black mist of the source is the real black mist. Even when the Holy Fire was weak, it would not appear in an area so close to us under natural conditions. The overall intensity of the black mist is indeed increasing. "

  Kai said calmly: "During Trorian's rapid ascent, he was much stronger than before. We may not be able to feel some things, but I can vaguely feel that the whole world is tilting into the dark abyss. Many Things are going in a bad direction, but it is only due to some powerful external interference that we do not feel too much negative effects."

  Rhodes knew that this powerful external interference was the King's Source Heaven God Throne.

  Horus asked: "King, what should we do? Stop expansion? But in the critical period of our rapid improvement, the demand for resources is unprecedented. Once it stops..."

  Wang was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "There is still some time before the big pollution comes. You can continue to expand, but you must be cautious and don't rush in. When necessary, we will abandon all areas."

  Horus's face was a little distorted, he couldn't bear to part with any occupied area.

  "King, is there any way to expand the spiritual curtain of the Star Marrow Altar? At least, the area that has been occupied must be included in our scope."

  Rhodes replied: "Unless we find the remaining three ancient slave gods and take back their soul weapons, the spiritual curtain cannot be fundamentally improved."

  Horus was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "By the way, I heard that you asked the priests of the Star Marrow Altar to open up the inner space of the Star Marrow Altar."

  Rhodes nodded slightly: "According to my understanding, the real purpose of the seven ancient gods in building the Star Marrow Altar is for its internal space. That is the absolute shelter they want. Do you still remember the Filthy Blood? What did God say before he died?”

  Horus frowned slightly. He remembered clearly that the Blood God of Filth said two extremely important words before he died.

  The first sentence is: "All gods are human beings."

  The second sentence is: "The black mist is invincible. The only way to survive is to spread your blood and spirit, build a real shelter, leave the plane, hide in the void, and drift in the void forever."

  He will never forget this memory, especially the words the soul shouted before dissipating: "Run, children, run!"

  An ancient god who they thought was invincible turned out to be a runaway, which shocked Horus greatly at the time.

  Rhodes said in a deep voice: "I can feel that the Blood God of Filth... No, it should be the Blood God of Life, the Blood God of Purification, the creator and guardian of Talanore, Mu, is not a cowardly loser, Maybe he has seen fear that we have never seen before, and knows that all resistance is futile, so he advises us to escape... This may be the only way for humans to survive."

  "And the inner space of the Star Marrow Altar is most likely what he said is the real refuge."

  Rhodes looked around and said in a cautious tone.

  "Although I don't think so, everything is possible. If one day we fail, this will be our only way out to ensure that we will not be completely destroyed. Of course, I believe that this day will never come, and mankind must The final victory will be achieved, and light and fire will illuminate the heaven and earth, completely eradicating the black mist."

  The Holy Fire Sacrifice fell into silence for a moment.

  After a long time, Wangcai said softly: "Little Rod, you have done a good job, but please never explain this matter on any occasion."

  Rhodes nodded: "I see."

  The king paused for a few seconds, looked at the three true kings in front of him, and said calmly: "You must always remember that people are everything to us, but territory is not. Retreating does not mean giving up. As long as people are still there, we will one day We will regain everything we have lost."

  Horus lowered his head and said softly: "I know, King, I was wrong. When the great pollution comes, I will retreat to our absolute defense circle."

  Wang smiled faintly: "Horus, the arrival of great pollution is a very slow process. During this process, we can still resist the pollution and the invasion of the black mist symbiote. Combat strength is the key to everything. We need to be more There are more true kings, and more top experts are needed, and you must also become stronger, which will determine the future destiny of Trolian."

  Horus looked solemn and bowed: "I understand, King."

  "That's good. In the next period of time, I need to focus on resisting the pollution of the starry sky in the spiritual world. Everything about Trorian will be left to you."

  "Remember, you must be cautious and don't rush into the darkness. We have stepped onto the crossroads of human destiny, and every step determines our future."

  After saying that, the king turned into a streak of fire and flew back into the holy fire.

  The huge and majestic power went away, and only the burning holy fire remained in the huge holy fire sacrificial site.

  After a long time, Horus said: "The king is right, we need more powerful men above the king level, especially powerful kings, top powerful men like the great king. At this crossroads of destiny, we We must grab more resources, and top combat power is the most important factor in determining our future destiny."

  Rhodes clenched his fists, deciding that Trolian's fate would bring him unimaginable amounts of divinity. He seemed to see endless golden light flying towards him.

  No matter what, I want to become stronger as soon as possible.

  Rhodes thought silently and asked in his heart.

  "Wei Guang Asa, if I take Horus and Kai with me, will it be dangerous to go to the Tomb of the First Ancestors?"

  The Book of the Future turned the pages slightly, and the golden light gave the answer in a flash: "The deathly black color has faded a little, but it is still very dangerous."

  "Can't the three true kings do the same?"

  "Well, I see that there is a weak one among you."

  Rhodes immediately set his sights on Horus. This guy has not moved at all since he was promoted to true king. He still only has one fundamental source, and his spiritual energy intensity is also 1 million kilometres, without any change.

  "Archbishop, your improvement is so slow."

  Horus's wood-like face also turned slightly red, and there was a hint of sadness: "Maybe my potential has reached the limit, no, maybe I have no potential. After the remaining soul of the Holy King is consumed, I will There’s no more improvement.”

  Rhodes didn't know why, but a slight pity arose in his heart, and he asked in his dream: "Asa, can you see his future?"

  The Book of the Future is eager to try: "Another true king? Very good, let me see his future."

  The white mist spreads again, the golden ancient trees shine in it, and the breath of fate spreads out like waves.

  "Have it!"

  After a moment, the Book of the Future shouted.

  "I saw, his destiny shining in the holy city."

  Rhodes suddenly woke up.

  The Holy City is a city built with the Holy King's remains and throne as its core. Its only mission is to maintain the Holy King's remains and add fuel to the Holy King's throne.

  In this way, the remnant spirit of the Holy King can resist the erosion of the black mist in the starry sky.

  Horus has inherited the legacy of the Holy King and is equivalent to the incarnation of the Holy King. If he goes to the Holy City, he may be able to get a chance to be promoted.

  it is good!
  Very good!
  Rhodes immediately told Horus about this.

  Horus' eyes suddenly widened: "Is what you said true? If I go to the Holy City, I can find a way for me to be promoted again? Is this what your inspiration and intuition tell you?"

  "That's right! My wisdom found the direction for me, and my inspiration and intuition confirmed the result for me."

  Kai praised: "Brother Rhodes, your wisdom is as profound as the king's."

  Rhodes smiled happily. Finally, someone discovered his hidden wisdom... What the Sun Knight said couldn't be wrong, right?

  Horus' aura became chaotic. He looked like he wanted to fly to the Holy City now, but he still resisted the urge and continued: "Rhodes, the three elements of the Ascension Ceremony have accumulated to a considerable amount. The amount should be able to determine the candidates for the next spiritual ascension ceremony. If we can have another true king like Kai, we can protect more land when the great pollution comes."

  He paused, calmed his breathing, and continued.

  "Even if we don't get promoted to true king, we still have one more great king. No matter what, it will be a great help to us."

  "Percival has recently done a lot of research on the spiritual ascension ceremony. He can assist you in it and will definitely achieve better results."

  Rhodes was shocked that a new round of spiritual ascension ceremony could be carried out so soon. It seemed that the surge in resources had a great effect on the acquisition of the three major elements.

  "I know, I will decide on the candidate as soon as possible and conduct the ascension ceremony."

  Horus then showed a satisfied smile, and before he even had time to say goodbye, he turned into a ray of light and flew away through the sky.

  Kai smiled and said: "The Archbishop can be promoted again. I have to say that the King of Bright Light is indeed the rarest king in thousands of years. Ever since Horus was promoted to the True King, Trorian has never had a serious soul problem. The healing efficiency of corrupted people has increased hundreds of times, many old people have gained a second life as a result, and many former heroes have been spared the torture of corrosion."

  Rhodes nodded slightly. The black mist's blockade and restriction on the King of Light was also very powerful. I don't know how the Holy King broke through and became the King of Humanity that suppressed the Era of Fire for two thousand years.

  Afterwards, Kai also said goodbye to him. The battlefield to the east was still waiting for him. There were several huge true silver veins and soul crystal veins ahead. These were the resources Trolian consumed the most. No amount was too much.

  Rhodes came to the Byron Alchemy and Pharmaceutical Factory and found Percival who was refining the medicine.

  "Lord Rhodes!"

  Percival was very happy to see him coming, and quickly put down his work and rushed forward.

  "Are we going to perform the ascension ceremony?"

  Rhodes nodded slightly and asked in his dream: "Asa, have you found the candidate?"

  From the moment Horus told him, the Book of the Future began to turn its pages, but this relatively simple foreshadowing took a long time, and until now, it has not stopped peeking at destiny.

  After another moment, the Book of the Future closed, and he said with slight hesitation: "Master, I don't know why, but I always see two figures. Their fates are connected to each other, and their souls are connected to each other, just like a pair of twins with destiny. Stars, I still can’t tell who is more suitable.”

  Rhodes asked in surprise: "Twin Stars of Destiny? Who?"

  "Well, they have their own imprints in their souls. They are the Knight of the Moon and the Princess of the Dark Moon."

  Rhodes raised his eyebrows slightly. Aren't these the "siblings" of the moon?

  Seeing that Rhodes had been silent, Percival couldn't help asking: "Sir Rhodes, what's the matter? Is there any difficulty in selecting him?"

  Rhodes came to his senses and told him about the Destiny Twins.

  Percival asked in surprise: "Isn't this great? Similar souls have similar origin laws, which means that their fates are closely connected. This special bond may gain more power."

  Rhodes shook his head slightly: "It's not that simple. Olivia and Princess Dark Moon are not real siblings..."

  He hesitated for a moment and then told him everything about Olivia.

  "Olivia originally had a child who died due to an accident. Olivia was heartbroken because of this. Her brother...her biological brother was deceived by an unknown doomsday cultist and used a taboo resurrection ritual. , wanted to resurrect his sister's child, but died naturally because of it, but this ritual was not over. It was affected by some strange power. After gathering the flesh and blood of Olivia, her child, and her brother , it was successfully completed.”

  "This resurrected person is Princess Darkmoon. He is exactly the same as her brother. He still has part of her brother's memory, but also has the characteristics of her child. At the same time, although he is a male, he has the source law that only belongs to women - —Dark Moon, uh, besides, it behaves and looks like a woman, but when you take it out, it might be bigger than yours."

  The last sentence made Percival spray all over the floor: "Sir Rhodes, your description... is too vulgar."

  Rhodes smiled awkwardly: "So, no one can tell what the relationship between Princess Dark Moon and Olivia is. After this incident, Olivia also changed from an ordinary person to a genius. Princess Yue made rapid progress and became the Herrscher even though resources were extremely scarce."

  Percival corrected: "Like Olivia, he is already a powerful king."

  Rhodes' eyes lit up slightly: "Great, then let them perform the spirit-ascension ceremony together! For a powerful king, the spirit-ascension ceremony should not take more than two rounds."

  Percival smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Rhodes. With the supply of sufficient resources, the three major elements have already begun mass production. The Stone of Light Refining Formation, Star Source Ceremony and Star Marrow Refining Furnace have been rapidly rolled out. On average, Down the road, the production quantity per week can reach double digits, and the current reserves are definitely sufficient."

  Rhodes was excited. If the mass production of the three major elements begins, it will only be a matter of time before Trolian takes off.

  He immediately recalled the Moon Knight Olivia and the Dark Moon Princess from the western battlefield.

  This guy is also strange. Until now, Rhodes doesn't know his name and can only refer to him as Princess Dark Moon.

  When Rhodes saw them in the Holy Fire Sacrifice, he had to sigh at the wonder of the Creator. Olivia still looked that heroic and heroic, and the years had not left any traces on her body. Rhodes was quite sure of this. .

  Since the incident of the evil attack on the king, no one was allowed to wear a veil in the Holy Fire Sacrifice, so the Dark Moon Princess walked in directly with her true face.

  The moment his appearance appeared in Rhode's sight, his attention was firmly attracted.

  That is not ordinary beauty. It cannot be described as beautiful. His beauty is a kind of breathtaking beauty, a kind of soul-absorbing beauty. His eyes are like stars and moon, and his eyebrows are like willow tips. , His beautiful nose is like white jade, his pink cheeks are slightly haloed, and his red lips are like cherry blossoms.

  At this moment, Rhodes felt a strong regret in his heart. Why could such a beauty be a man?
  But then, a dangerous thought came to mind.

  What about men?
  Rhodes shook his head and immediately threw this idea into the abyss.
