The Last King Of Darkness

Time passed bit by bit, with Rod facing divine power exhaustion multiple times. He had to use the [Great Spiritual Tide] repeatedly to recover. The essence of divine power exhaustion is spiritual energy exhaustion; without spiritual energy, new divine power cannot be formed. Thus, divine power is essentially higher-ranked and more complete spiritual energy.

In the end, six clock hours passed, a bit longer than expected, but Asa finally awakened. At the moment it turned the pages, Rod suspended the acceleration and withdrew the time field.

"Ahhh, how long did I sleep?"

Asa opened the pages, wobbling as it jumped off the bookshelf.

"Why do I feel so dizzy, and my soul so sore?"

The Book of Knowledge softly said, "Master, this is the aftereffect of the time field; it does have a little side effect."

Luckily, the side effect quickly passed, and Asa became lively again: "Hahahahaha, Master, Master, I digested all the destiny energy and fully control the Book of Eternity. I feel incredibly good now; my inspiration has reached an unprecedented peak. My climax is impending!"

It madly flapped its pages; the Book of Future, Book of Past, and Book of Present flashed by one after another, the aura of time and destiny reverberating in the seams, golden light permeating its spiritual body.

"Master, Master, I see it, I see it—a stronger you, larger, longer, more enduring you, nodding at me."

Rod was immediately thrilled: "Tell me more, Asa, how to become larger, longer, more enduring?"

"Alan!"

Asa shouted: "Alan is the key! Master, quickly go find Alan!"

Rod felt a shiver in his heart; he knew Alan’s soul contained the ashes from the [Chaos Crystal Wall], but surely he couldn’t kill Alan for these ashes? That would be an utterly nonsensical act.

"Uh, is there no other way? Alan is an important ally..."

Asa excitedly shouted: "Master, trust me, you and Alan can help each other, complementing strengths, venturing into the realm of the strong."

At that moment, Rod’s heart pounded with excitement; there couldn’t be better news than this. He immediately left the dream realm and found Alan at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

This First Knight of Trolian, after a long journey and battles, finally had time to recover. He was sitting before the Holy Fire, feeling its extraordinarily warm and bright aura, his weathered soul being nourished and repaired by the Holy Fire, forming a vortex of powerful spiritual energy around him.

Rod was shocked to find that, after the battle at Saint Longde Royal City, Alan’s fire spark had increased by 35. His total Root Origin was at least above 500 portions, and the complete Root Origin exceeded thirteen lamps.

The Book of Knowledge marveled: "Is this truly human? I can hardly believe it; such powerful existences are rare even in the Life of Man."

Rod nodded gently; the only pity was that Alan could not condense the Primordial Law, always remaining at the Half King stage. Yet, even so, he was the most formidable Half King, and typical Primordial strong ones would not be his match.

As if sensing someone approaching, Alan opened his eyes; upon seeing Rod, he smiled at once.

"Brother Rod, you’re here; I was just thinking of looking for you."

He stood and thrust his right hand fiercely into his chest, but no blood flowed out. When he extended his hand, a burning, jumping fire spark appeared in his palm.

Rod’s eyes widened; Alan had extracted his fire spark from his soul.

"My intuition tells me it will be useful to Brother Rod, and I just happen to have mastered the fire spark that can partition the soul, so I divided it out."

Rod could hardly believe his eyes; Alan had extracted a piece containing the fire spark of his soul trait, accurately partitioning part of his soul.

In the dream realm, the Book of Knowledge suddenly screamed: "This is it, this is it, quickly smash it, quickly smash it! The ashes will naturally return to the [Chaos Crystal Wall], and we can directly ignite a perfectly complete star!"

Rod received Alan’s soul trait; Alan’s soul’s warmth still lingered on it. For some reason, he found it difficult to take action and could only send it into the dream realm for the Book of Knowledge to crush.

Sure enough, at the moment the fire spark extinguished, countless ashes rose into the air, flying into his soul.

A line of new text appeared below the [Chaos Crystal Wall].

[Ignition requirement: 1 portion Divine Soul, 1000 portions Strong Source, 4000 Soul Firewood, awakening required Divinity: 5000]

Rod’s heart shook. The [Chaos Crystal Wall] is a Giant Star, inherently containing 1500 portions of Source Energy; hence the required Strong Source is only 1000 portions, and Soul Firewood lowered to 4000 portions.

Moreover, from this line of text, it seemed like rekindling and awakening were simultaneous processes.

The Book of Knowledge exuberantly shouted: "Master, we can reconstruct the fourth portion of Primordial Law now!"

Rod’s joy was inexpressible; he immediately retrieved 1 Hope Bubble from the dream realm, sprinkling all its healing essence on Alan: "Master Alan, I am healing you."

But in the next moment, Rod was startled to discover that the healing essence was entirely absorbed by Alan.

"How—how is this possible?"

Rod could hardly believe it; one Hope Bubble could heal thousands, yet Alan absorbed it alone.
