Chapter 2032 - 893: Dream Spirit
Since the complete awakening of the [Dark Devourer], it has been continuously gathering the residual ashes, though at a slow pace. After collecting all the remnants from the original furnace, the [Dark Devourer] did not immediately recover; however, the speed of gathering the ashes increased dramatically. Countless ashes emerged from the void, congregating into his soul, merging into this star that glows with a dark red light.
"Book." Rod asked: "Why hasn’t the [Dark Devourer] recovered?"
The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages and replied: "Master, the [Dark Devourer] is not a star of the Fire Epoch; there are no ashes of it in the original furnace."
Rod frowned slightly, recalling the illusion he experienced when he completely awakened this star. The red-haired girl was murdered by two people hidden in the shadows; this brief scene was the entire illusion. In retrospect, it indeed could not have happened during the Fire Epoch because the [Dark Devourer] is the core of the dream, and the dream is a miraculous creation that has existed since the beginning of the epoch.
But, if it happened in the initial epoch, what does it signify? Who is the red-haired girl? Who are the murderers hidden in the shadows? What is the connection between her death and the birth of the dream? How does it relate to the black fog, the person of extreme evil, and the primordial god?
Regrettably, the Book of Knowledge clearly stated that there is no trace of this information in their souls; it is a memory that never existed, not one that has been erased.
"Book, how much longer will it be?"
The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages and briefly answered: "Soon."
As soon as the words fell, the dark red star lit up. Intense red light spread within the soul, as a massive lump of residual ashes appeared at the center of the Soul Wilderness. It looked like a mass of solidified dark red blood smeared across this lightless, dark land.
A line of even darker red lettering appeared before Rod.
[Ignite this residual ash, awaken this power]
[Required: 250,000 Soulless Soul Flowers, 25,000 Spiritual Flowers, 4,880 Strong Sources, 199,520 Soul Firewood]
Rod widened his eyes. The resources required to rekindle the [Dark Devourer] were different from other stars, not only needing a vast amount of Soulless Soul Flowers and Spiritual Flowers, but also requiring more Source Law and Soul Firewood than any other star.
The Book of Knowledge exclaimed: "Master, the [Dark Devourer] is part of the dream. Rekindling it is equivalent to restoring the dream, so the materials required are somewhat special."
Rod nodded. After such a long period of battle, the resource reserves within the dream were already very abundant, sufficient to complete the rekindling of the [Dark Devourer].
The only problem is his divinity. After the last promotion, his divinity was down to only 140,000. Although there were some scattered incomes along the way, the consumption was significant. Adding the previously acquired 90,000 divinities, the total was only 250,000, and it was almost used up; but Rod was not anxious because the divinity from Star Plaza would soon arrive.
Sure enough, after a short wait, an infinite golden light descended from the Sun Tower, and a golden storm of divinity poured into the dream again.
——Guarding humanity, resisting the black tide, Divinity + 60,000
——Breaking the Abyss, destroying the Spirit Deceit Ball, Divinity + 250,000
——Breaking through the original furnace, eliminating the Cause of Destruction, Divinity + 500,000
But simultaneously, red text appeared below.
——Destruction of the Sea of Source, destruction of Unknown Space, destruction of the Unknown Thing, Divinity -100,000
——Touching the forbidden black fog, disturbing the unspeakable horror, Divinity -100,000
——Absorbing the filth, devouring excrement, polluting the dream, Divinity -1,000
Rod’s pupils widened immediately; this was an unprecedented loss. The divinity of 201,000 was unimaginable before, but even now, it was an unacceptable loss.
"Book, what is going on? Why was so much deducted?"
The Book of Knowledge slowly flipped its pages and replied solemnly: "Master, this might be the consequence of destroying that black sphere in the deepest layer of the Abyss. Although you gained 250,000 divinities due to this, it also brought profound calamities to the world. However, the divinity gained is greater than the losses, proving that this action has more positive value for humanity than negative consequences."
"As for the disturbance of the forbidden black fog, I suspect it’s related to the initial Abyss and the affairs of the Main Continent. Destroying the Cause of Destruction inevitably caused a great disturbance, which was unavoidable."
Rod’s heart sank slightly, but having gained 609,000 divinities was enough to ignite the final star. Once rekindled, he could possess 25 portions of the Primordial Law, becoming a peak quasi-king.
"Then let us begin."
Rod suppressed the excitement in his heart, came to the Soul Wilderness, and poured the countless soulless souls, spirituality, strong sources, and Soul Firewood into the mass of blood-like residual ash.
The blood-like fire ignited from the ashes, causing the entire dream to tremble violently. The divine fire on the Obelisk swayed urgently, while the constellations within the soul were submerged in boundless red light. At this moment, the dark red star finally shone, its brilliant red light piercing even his soul, turning the entire dream into a blood-red color.
A line of shining text floated before his eyes.
[Dark Devourer]
[State: Primordial]
[Position: Sea of Source]
[Fire: Divinity]
