Chapter 2062 - 905: Starry Sky
Since the destruction of the Fire Epoch and the arrival of the Dark Epoch, humanity has endured 1836 years in this absolute darkness. Endless black fog enveloped the world, extinguishing once-flaming fires across the continent. The terrifying black mist permeated every corner of the Three Realms, and endless pollution filled every crease of Space. Proud and flourishing humanity had long since perished, leaving countless powerful nations as nests of dark monsters. Only a few survivors humbly existed in the corners of the Dark World.
Yet, on the eve of the final flame’s extinction, the light of hope pierced the endless darkness and arrived in this last human kingdom.
The legendary True King was born.
His appearance was like the rising sun in this purgatory filled with despair. The blazing Golden Light illuminated this world about to be submerged under the endless dark ocean, bringing a unique vitality to this universe heading toward destruction.
"Rod is our Savior!"
At the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, Luo Weiya exclaimed with a flushed face, eyes ablaze with fervent flames. Boundless joy and endless passion echoed in his Soul, reaching a peak the moment Rod stepped into the True King, and had not waned since.
"He is the avatar of Fire Will, the supreme master of the Holy Fire!"
This praise seemed overly exaggerated, yet no one thought it excessive. Many even believed it was factual.
This is not only because Rod accomplished this unprecedented Miracle, but also because he, upon becoming the True King, displayed an overwhelming absolute Strength—at least exceeding a Spiritual Power Strength of 20 trillion kC, forming a destructive white light that instantly severed the black tide rushing toward Royal City. The ensuing Superstar Flash reduced countless black fog symbionts, derivatives of Ancient Gods, and powerful Fusion Monsters to ashes.
The scorching white light obscured the sky, enveloped the earth, and completely evaporated countless Dark Souls. Since the dark uprising, the black tide never ceased before Royal City, but under such terrifying power, it finally vanished—the heavy darkness weighing on everyone’s heart dissipated at this moment.
According to White Tower’s observation, just this single strike cleared half of the Dark Plain, and billions of black fog symbionts vanished in this blow.
An unprecedented massive black fog void appeared before everyone’s eyes.
No one dared to believe their eyes; such a vast void—even black fog—would take a long time to fill.
White Tower’s calculations indicate that the next round of black tide will not arrive for at least five clock hours.
Though only a mere five clock hours of rest, it was unprecedented and immensely valuable. The entire Royal City mobilized at this moment, with the Great Shepherd Leader commanding all forces to repair war damages and strengthen defenses as much as possible, as well as make targeted changes. Warriors finally received this precious rest time; they had fought continuously for a long time, especially the Primordial Warriors, who had almost no chance to rotate. Solos, the mightiest on the front lines, had fought non-stop for fourteen days without leaving the battlefield.
Upon returning to Royal City, he barely had time to speak with Rod before falling into deep sleep.
Many Primordial Warriors were similar; they barely maintained their spirits until they saw Rod, then fell asleep. For them, Rod as the True King was a Totem in their spirit, the fire of their belief, and their Soul pillar. Only seeing him allowed them to sleep in this desperate darkness.
Due to Rod’s display of such overwhelming power, the entire Trolian plunged into uncontrollable joy. Many even believed they had triumphed; with the True King present, they could surely survive this terrifying black fog tide and endure until the ebbing moment—time for them to create a new Epoch and completely eradicate the black fog.
However, they were unaware that Sea of Source had already reached its final moment; this round of black fog’s Quantization would completely corrode the Sea of Source and drag the entire world into endless darkness.
At that time, even the True King would be powerless.
Rod did not tell anyone about this; beyond inducing more despair, it held no meaning. Thus, despite successfully stepping into the True King Domain, becoming the first-ever true King, he did not rejoice, knowing he must quickly step into the Starry Sky and face the exceedingly evil person and the primordial creator of the black fog container—the Black Ring Seal.
According to Asa’s prophecy, only by severing the link between the exceedingly evil person and the Black Ring Seal can the black fog’s Source feedback be annihilated. Only after stripping away the black fog’s Source feedback would they have a chance to defeat the black fog—defeat the thirteen fallen Primordial Gods, the Black Fog God.
Regarding this, Rod had no complete assurance. In his spiritual world, he once clearly felt that boundless terrifying power. Without that special environment, without that peculiar flash, without the sudden repulsion from Sea of Source, he wouldn’t have stood a chance of victory, thus couldn’t have become the True King.
"Book, what is happening here?" In the Dream Realm, Rod asked in a deep voice.
