the last king of darkness

The mystery that had been shrouding his mind like a dark cloud was dispelled, and the truth of the world came to him. He seemed to be standing on a mountain tens of thousands of yards high, with an endless abyss at his feet. If he took even half a step wrong, he would be shattered to pieces. .

"But……"

Rhodes opened his mouth with difficulty.

"If these stars all come from these extremely great and powerful men, why are some stars so weak and others so powerful?"

Royger replied: "The Soul Wasteland is a special space built on time and spiritual mist. The ashes of all great existences will gather here to form the ashes of the stars. They are the once great power and are indelible. Brilliance, even if only a ray remains, will eventually ignite a new fire... This is the process of igniting the stars.”

"The amount of residual ash gathered determines the strength of the stars. Weak stars are just because there are less residual ash gathered, and powerful stars are just because they have more residual ash gathered."

"Whether it is a weak star, a big star, or a giant star, they all come from quasi-kings or quasi-gods."

Only now did Rhodes finally know the source of the Soul Wasteland and the ashes of the stars. It turned out that the descriptions on the stars were really the epitaphs of those great and powerful men.

The Book of Knowledge eagerly turned its pages and asked, "Why?"

"A powerful man from the beginning who has stepped into eternity has the power to destroy heaven and earth. His power is enough to radiate to all dimensions, whether it is the eternal river of time, the spiritual mist of nothingness, or under the starry sky, All spaces and positions above the void will change due to his influence, and these changes are the echoes of his existence and his ashes."

"Even if his body and soul dissipate, even [Eternal Square] and [Time Wandering] cannot find a trace in the long river of time, nor can they erase him. All the great feats he has done will not change with time. Disappeared with the passage of time, his spirit and soul will not dissipate with his death."

"This is the strong man from the beginning, the one who is closest to the true king. Only such a strong man can leave such an immortal trace. The strong men below the quasi-king will dissipate with time."

Rhodes looked at his stars, and it turned out that even for stars as weak as [Bitter Blue] and [Spirit Boat], their former owners were also unimaginably great and powerful.

Suddenly it dawned on him.

No wonder [Giant Power] was able to be upgraded from a big star to a giant star. It must be because he absorbed the divine sword formed by the remnant soul of the giant god, and this is the [remaining ashes] of this star.

"Roiger!"

Suddenly an idea flashed in Rhode's mind and he asked urgently.

"Can stars be upgraded?"

Royger showed a faint smile: "As expected of you, Lord, you really thought of this... Stars can of course be upgraded. All stars are essentially giant stars. As long as the ashes of the strong ones corresponding to the stars are found, , you can increase the power of the stars. In addition, more powerful dreams can also collect more residual ashes. When you retrieve the [Spirit of Life] and [Spirit of Death], the speed will be even faster."

Rhodes asked anxiously: "Isn't there one above Yuxingchen?"

Royger shook his head slightly: "Star Star is the limit. The Law of Origin can only be condensed by yourself."

The Book of Knowledge murmured: "However, the Law of Origin has long been broken and turned into the Sea of ​​Origin... Can it really condense?"

Royger smiled faintly: "Of course the Law of the Origin can be reconstituted... In the ancient era, the first person to take this step was the Red God of War and the God of Giants, Beacleus. He was the first An Eternal One, and the first person to take this step in the Era of Fire is the Holy King, Yas Oceanus, who is the first King of Origin..."

Rhodes was shocked. Although he had long known how powerful the Red God of War and the Holy King were, he did not expect them to be so powerful. He asked eagerly: "Then how should I condense it? Is it enough to get 25 copies of the root source? ?But the upgrading of the source in the obelisk does not seem to have the law of the original source."

Royger glanced at the sky and said softly: "I cannot mention all the information about the reunion of the Law of the Origin, otherwise the hidden fog will be shattered immediately, and my last remaining spirit will disappear."

"The last remnant?"

Rhodes was shocked, but thinking about it carefully, this was expected. He had long known that any thing done by a time-spanning existence would have huge backlash. Royger also said However, any interference on his part comes at a cost.

Royger nodded slightly: "I usually need to gather hundreds of years of power to have a slight impact on reality. Most of the time, I use this power to fight against the spirit of darkness. Throughout the Era of Fire, , I always did this, but the result was that mankind was still destroyed, so in the Dark Age, I changed my approach and helped mankind more. I have appeared in both Saint Rey and Starry Kingdom.”

Rhodes' eyes widened: "Have you been there? Do you know their location?"

Royger showed a faint smile.

"Of course I do. I appear in front of you this time just to tell you that the only way to survive the crisis is to seek help from Arnold and Saint Lund."

At this moment, Rhodes' heart beat violently: "Are they strong? Are they stronger than Saint Rey?"

The answer is certainly yes.

"Arno and Saint Lund have relatively complete inheritance and knowledge. Before the war between humans and demons, I always thought that they were the hope of the Dark Age. I placed most of my hopes on them. They have always been on the right path. They are already very close to the human kingdom of the Age of Fire before its destruction."

Rhodes was convinced that he certainly knew the weight of Royger's words.

It has only been a few years since Trolian set foot on the right path, but he has made such great progress. It is conceivable how powerful Arno and Saint Lund must be, having known the complete inheritance system and correct knowledge from the beginning.

However, he also felt puzzled and even vaguely dissatisfied:

"Then why don't you tell Trorian and Saint Rey about their information... This shouldn't cost you too much power. As long as they know each other's existence, the inheritance and knowledge can be passed on. ?"

Royger looked apologetic again.

"I'm sorry, Lord, I'm afraid that doing so will lead to the spread and expansion of the disaster. In fact, I tried, and your arrival is the result of my attempt... But the moment you arrived, the strange disaster had already locked in Tero Lian, if you had come later, the human demon might not have awakened so quickly, and the chain reaction caused by the change in fate would be far more terrifying than I imagined."

He paused and continued.

"Before the war between humans and demons, I always thought that they were the hope of the Dark Age. The destruction of the Starry Kingdom was an irreversible regret. Saint Rael and Trolian were just victims to prevent the spread of the crisis. My phantom clones, These two kingdoms have been dormant for almost a long time. It wasn’t until the birth of the throne of the God of Heaven in Trolian a few decades ago that I noticed this weak Fire Kingdom.”

"But it turns out I was wrong."

"After the battle between humans and demons, I have been preparing for today's meeting. This is also our last meeting."

Rhodes asked anxiously: "The last meeting? Are you going to disappear soon?"

Royger smiled faintly and said: "Yes, I will focus all my remaining strength on this meeting, because you are the hope to break this eternal darkness."

Inexplicably, Rhodes felt a sense of suffocation, as if he was being suppressed by countless mountains.

"But, how can I obtain so many Source Laws? One copy of the Law of the Origin requires 1 copies of the Source, and 25 copies of the Law of the Origin requires hundreds of copies of the Source. What's more, igniting the stars has losses, and dreams can plunder them. The Law of Origin is a state between quantification and non-quantification. Using it as fuel to ignite the stars will cause at least half of the loss. Calculating this, I may need thousands of copies of the Origin!"

Royger still maintained a faint smile, and the sure hope reflected in his eyes inexplicably gave Rhodes a little confidence. "Lord, you don't have to worry about this matter. In the main continent, in the Era of Fire, those fallen quasi-kings, those original strong men who fell into darkness, and the ten kingdoms of fire that have reached their peak are controlled by them. The law of origin is your best raw material, what you need is more divinity, more powerful power, and a more complete dream."

Rhodes opened his eyes wide. He heard the names of the ten kingdoms of fire more than once. However, he also heard that countless kingdoms were destroyed in the Era of Fire. Although he knew that this was not the main question, he still asked it. .

"Are there only ten Fire Kingdoms in the Age of Fire?"

Royger shook his head slightly: "The Era of Fire is roughly divided into two stages. After the death of the Holy King, the black mist returned. Countless human kingdoms were born and destroyed during this stage, and the ashes of the corpses were piled up. The earth and the lakes, until another peerless strong man was born. He returned to the original realm and reached the peak of the quasi-king. With his own power, he leveled the Godouin Mountain and rekindled the furnace of the first fire. The fire illuminated the entire world. On the main continent, the black mist has dissipated without a trace."

"First fire?"

Rhodes and the Book of Knowledge exclaimed at the same time. They had learned from the Pope of Saint Rael that all the seeds of the Holy Fire must be gathered to rekindle the First Fire. They had previously thought that the Kingdom in the Era of Fire, because It was too scattered, and no one knew the secret of the First Fire. Unexpectedly, the Age of Fire actually ignited the First Fire.

"They lit the First Fire? How could it be destroyed?"

Royger shook his head again.

"Things are not as simple as you think. The quasi-king used himself as firewood and his soul as phlogiston to ignite the first fire. After he burned out, the first fire was extinguished and split into ten holy fires. From this, the Kingdom of the Ten Fires was born."

"They followed the path opened by the unknown king until they reached the once unimaginable peak - the light of fire shone in all directions, the land was dotted with human towns, and brave warriors hunted the monsters lurking in the darkness. Monsters and black mist can only occupy extremely remote areas and a small continent."

"Due to their strength, there is no remnant of the once destroyed country. The main continent has been completely occupied by them. The five quasi-kings, the five highest-strength Origin Saint Kings, are unprecedented in the entire history."

Royger's expression turned gloomy again.

"It was an extremely glorious era. Human beings reached the limit of what they wanted. They once thought they had defeated the black mist, until the catastrophe came."

"I can't tell you anything about that catastrophe. You will know it later."

Inexplicably, Rhodes felt that Royger's breath had become lighter, and an urgent emotion surged into his heart: "Are you going to disappear? How will I know after that? You keep calling me Lord, why?"

Royger's gloomy look showed another smile: "Don't worry, Lord, the power of dreams is unimaginable, but it affects a huge source of feedback, so I have never dared to let you recover easily. .”

Rhodes was startled, and suddenly, a memory came to his mind: "I once saw a fake Tomb of Humans and Demons, was it you?"

Royger nodded lightly: "It's me. It's not the black mist that obscures the memory about it. It's me too. I once held a glimmer of hope, hoping that you would return to the top before the strange disaster came, but your fate is inevitable. , you finally went to the Tomb of Humans and Demons, and at that time, you were only a half-king who controlled five fundamental sources."

"Half, half king?"

"Yes, just like the demigods of the Path of God, they have only half-stepped into the threshold of the king, so they are called half-kings."

He paused and continued.

"The soul with a strong source is called a king. It is the prince of the king and the budding state of the king. To obtain a strong source is to be named a king, so it is also called a king."

"But in front of the real black mist, these are all weak. Only by controlling the Law of the Origin can they step into eternity and become the strong man of the Origin. Therefore, they are also called the King of the Origin, the King of Eternity, and the Holy Saint. King of."

Rhodes was shocked and asked anxiously: "What about the quasi-king?"

"Until you have more than 20 copies of the Law of the Origin and are infinitely close to the true king, you can be called a quasi-king."

Royger paused and his tone became solemn.

"You need to master a copy of the Law of the Origin as soon as possible, so that you can break through the 1th level of psychic power and have the power to fight against the black mist."

Rhodes' eyes widened. It turned out that the key to breaking through the 17th level of spiritual power was to control the Law of Origin.

No wonder no matter how strong his psychic powers are, they are always at level 17.

Royger smiled faintly, his figure gradually became transparent, but his eyes gradually became brighter.

"Destiny is inevitable, but it can be defeated, that's what you told me."

He raised his right hand and pointed his fingertips into the void.

Suddenly, countless white energy poured into the dreamland.

The Book of the Future shouted: "The energy of destiny, the energy of destiny, so many energy of destiny! At least twenty copies!"

Royger smiled and said: "Lord, the book of the present, the book of the past, and the book of the future were once a book called the Book of Eternity. It has extremely powerful power and can help you unlock all the secrets. Including what I can’t tell, you just need to find the key core object... Please restore it as soon as possible."

Book of the Future's whole body was trembling, and the pages were clattering, showing that he was extremely excited.

Royger clicked his finger again, and a ray of divine light fell into the book of knowledge.

"I'm sorry, Adoris, for borrowing a little bit of your wisdom. Now I'm giving it back to you. I hope you can put it to good use."

The book of knowledge was shrouded in a strange divine light. It flapped the pages crazily and shouted: "Wisdom, wisdom has returned. I am no longer retarded, I am no longer stupid, hahahaha, I am finally no longer an idiot, stupid, or idiot." !”

Royger looked at Rhodes. His figure was half transparent, but his shining eyes were still clearly visible.

"Lord, I still have many, many things I want to say, but they are too involved and my remaining strength cannot bear them. This is already my best choice, but you don't have to worry, in these countless years , I have already carved them into the long river of time, and as long as there is the Book of Eternity, I can find them and unlock them."

Rhodes' heart trembled violently. Although he and Royger had just met, they felt an extremely reluctant feeling, as if they had been old friends for countless years.

"No, don't disappear. There must be some way, some way to keep it, [Time Wandering], [Eternal Square], [Festival]..."

Royger smiled faintly: "It's impossible. All my remaining ashes have been used up. I'm so tired, so tired. I just want to go back to that afternoon, when the breeze blew the curtains, and my father was there. Chopping firewood, my mother was knitting clothes, and I was sleeping peacefully on the little bed..."

His voice gradually faded and finally disappeared without a trace.

"Ah, I hope we won't fail this time."
