Chapter 2020 - 888: Divine Blood
Rod was surprised and turned his gaze; the scenes of the prophecy mostly depicted the initial establishment of the Trolian Royal City, without much crucial information: "What do you know?"
The puppet replied calmly: "If my guess is correct, when the Main Continent fell, that powerful Black Domain had already appeared, and the fact that the five human heroes of Trolian, Yanuo, Longde, Reel, and Tasnia could lead the human remnants to escape indicates there must be a way in."
Rod’s heart suddenly awakened, yes, if it weren’t so, how could the Book of Eternity have been inspired? How could it have traced back to this period’s scenes?
But, where is the key?
Rod watched the flickering time; under Trolian’s protection, the Holy Fire gradually grew strong. This lost Giant King City slowly regained vitality; under the glow of golden flames, more and more people in the Upper City area continued to receive refugees quickly filled the Royal City and began to spread to the Lower City District. The glow of the Holy Fire gradually enveloped the entire Royal City and showed signs of expanding outward.
Rod was surprised to find that Trolian’s Holy Fire wasn’t weak. Although not as strong as that of Saint Longde and Yanuo, it had at least reached the Fifth Rank.
But even now, Trolian’s Holy Fire was only Third Rank.
"What’s going on? Why did Trolian’s Holy Fire become First Rank afterward?"
The Book of Knowledge pondered: "Was it because of some reason that led to its destruction?"
Rod did not respond. In the scenes of the Book of Eternity, time flowed quickly. Based on some indications, at least nearly ten years had passed; the Black Fog too, as they anticipated, showed a peculiar contraction after Trolian passed the most dangerous first year, with the intensity of the Black Fog significantly reduced.
Although due to severe pollution in the Main Material World, they couldn’t see the sky and the sun, moon, and stars with the naked eye, it at least didn’t pose a threat to the daily activities of most warriors.
Under such circumstances, Trolian accepted more refugees from the Main Continent, and the Royal City grew more prosperous. The number of primordial strong individuals in the Kingdom increased, showing signs of a flourishing civilization.
Rod noticed that they had been actively liaising with the other four human heroes and began preparing to return to the Main Continent. However, due to the terrifying Black Fog tide still leaving some dreadful monsters in the Main Material World, they hadn’t yet taken action. But as the Black Fog receded further, these horrific dark monsters gradually weakened. They were ready to move at any time.
However, at this moment, the scene suddenly showed an abnormal Heavenly Phenomenon of the Black Sun, accompanied by terrifying Star Phase stagnation. The darkness hidden beneath the world began to stir faintly, and monsters dormant in various places started to become active again, one horrifying sign after another appeared.
This sight was all too familiar to Rod. Wasn’t this the omen before the coming of the Dark Uprising?
He could hardly believe his eyes; hadn’t the destruction tide of the Black Fog that ended the Fire Epoch just passed? Why was there a new wave of Black Fog tide?
The Book of Knowledge muttered: "No, this isn’t right; the first tide of the Black Fog occurred in the Primordial Epoch, the second in the Ancient Epoch, the third in the Fire Epoch, and our current Black Fog tide occurred 1,800 years after the end of the Fire Epoch. Each Black Fog tide ended an Epoch, with at least several thousand years in between. How could it happen again in less than ten years?"
Rod’s heart sank sharply; could this be the reason for Trolian’s broken inheritance?
In the scene, the intensity of the Black Fog soared rapidly, and the surging Black Tide reappeared. Countless Black Fog Symbionts swarmed toward the Royal City once more. Trolian and the human strong individuals fought with all their might, but the intensity of the Black Fog soared. Giant and super-giant Black Fog Symbionts arrived one after another; Great Demon God, Profanity Warrior, Evil Spirit Witches, Nightmare Giants, Old Dominators, Ancient Gods, and other powerful monsters appeared, and these monsters were in plural forms.
The Book of Knowledge said solemnly: "These are derivatives formed by the Black Fog replication, not the fallen entities themselves."
Rod nodded; he was very aware of this. The Black Fog could replicate any existence it devoured. Although they were derivative copies, their combat power was no less than that of the original bodies. Despite the human strength in the Royal City not being weak, there was only Trolian as a quasi-king. It quickly showed signs of being unable to resist.
The Holy Fire of the Royal City flickered in this boundless darkness, and it could extinguish at any moment. This newborn Human Kingdom was already at the brink of destruction.
At this moment, the scene flickered; Rod saw Trolian return to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground of the Royal City and approached the Holy Fire. A figure emerged from the Holy Fire, softly asking: "Lord Trolian, are you going to the Abyss?"
Trolian nodded slightly: "Yes, Jinworth, this is our last hope. I have confirmed it; the Abyss entrance beneath the Giant King City is the only path to the deepest layer of the Abyss. According to the prophecy of the Divine Blood, there’s a secret of Black Fog’s birth in the Abyss. I will find the ruins of the extremely evil person, uncover the secrets of the Primordial Epoch, and find the weakness of the Black Fog. This might be our only hope for survival."
Although the figure’s face was indistinct, the reluctance in their eyes was clearly visible: "Lord Trolian, if you go to the Abyss, what will become of the Royal City?"
