The Last Dark King

Chapter 853 Eternal Destiny

When Rhodes opened his eyes, the cleaning of the battlefield was coming to an end.

The death of the Black Mist Primarch made the entire Black Realm cease to exist, and the fragments of the Fallen Ship also disappeared.

This once extremely terrifying area has now become so "clean" that it is even safer than many human-occupied areas.

St. Lund got what he expected.

The rich spiritual mineral deposits they discovered under the Fallen Ship area. According to the estimates of the accompanying scholars, there are at least three very large mineral veins in this area. The proven reserves are at least tens of billions of tons, and the quality is all of high quality.

This also verifies St. Lund’s mineral theory in some aspects.

Ordinary minerals gradually form spiritual veins under the influence of a long-term strong spiritual environment.

The influence of the special source law will interfere with the types of minerals - in this area, the mineral types are mainly star stones, star marrow, and star iron veins, plus a small amount of star rubies and sun stones.

Rhodes knew that these ordinary spiritual materials were the basis of everything.

Without them, the human kingdom cannot function, phlogiston and firewood cannot be produced, and higher pure star marrow, star source, moon spirit gems and light stones cannot be refined. Without these higher elements, , it is impossible for humans to have so many strong people.

It can be said that these resources are the foundation of the existence of the human kingdom.

This is very similar to dreams.

But dreams are another system that uses the soul as its raw material and uses the decomposed products of the soul.

The soulless soul is the most basic resource of the dream. The book of knowledge consumes a lot just to repair the dream and maintain the operation of the obelisk every day.

However, everyone in Saint Lund seemed a little disappointed.

Because they did not find what the Patriarch predicted, the entire land was bare, without any special existence that could reveal the source of the disaster.

Although the death of the Black Mist Original Body caused this large area of ​​black mist to disperse, the eternal night did not end or weaken. The overall intensity of the black mist did not change, and the sun, moon and stars were still obscured.

Unless you use an observation mirror such as an observatory, you still cannot see the stars.

"What exactly is going on?"

After many unsuccessful attempts, Rhine complained depressedly.

“Could it be that the Patriarch’s prophecy was wrong?”

Romano shook his head: "It's impossible. I don't believe it. The prediction can't be wrong. It can only be us who are wrong."

"But is there anything here that could reveal the source of the disaster? This wasteland is cleaner than my wife's ass."

Romano nodded in agreement: "You're right, it's indeed cleaner than your wife's butt... Well, I mean, maybe there's something hidden underground that we haven't found."

"Underground? Impossible. Our psychic exploration has penetrated hundreds of thousands of yards underground. If it exceeds this range, it does not belong to the Fallen Ship. The Patriarch's prophecy cannot point here, but directly. underground."

Everyone started talking and putting forward various possible or impossible conjectures.

Only Soros remained silent.

He stared at the desolate ground, which was the place where the original Black Mist died. There was nothing there, but he seemed to see something, and he looked at it very seriously.

Rhodes noticed something strange about Soros and asked softly: "Sir Soros, did you see anything?"

Soros said in a deep voice: "The space here is wrong, and my vision is deflected."

Rhodes frowned and looked intently. After a long time, he discovered the problem. When his line of sight passed through the space, there was an extremely small deviation, as if there was an invisible layer of water there.

But this difference is less than one ten thousandth of a grain of dust. If Soros didn't have a keen sense, it would be impossible to detect it.

"What's this?"

Everyone also noticed something was wrong and gathered around one after another.

Soros replied solemnly: "The tiny folds in the space indicate that there is a new demiplane or independent space in the inner layer of this space."

Everyone's expressions became solemn.

Rhine said softly: "That's troublesome. We have to expend a lot of effort to anchor into this level of independent space."

Romano nodded slightly: "Even if Sounder Bane comes back, it will take at least a month."

Hearing this, Rhodes' heart suddenly moved. As far as he knew, this demiplane is a special space attached to the main plane. It is not essentially different from the spirit world. The only problem is that it is difficult to determine the space potential and travel through the space. barrier.

But don’t I have a [Spirit World Boat]?

Having just regained its full power, couldn't it cross all space faults and plane barriers?

How could it not be found in just one demiplane?

"Everyone, maybe I can give it a try."

Rhodes said calmly.

As soon as the thought occurred, the divine power touched the [Spirit Boat], and the white mist quickly filled the whole body.

In an instant, he broke through the shackles of space, penetrated the barrier of the plane, and sank into space like a flash of light.

The phantom of nothingness unfolded in front of his eyes, and the repulsive force of the space potential surged instantly.

Wandering between planes will subject you to great space pressure, but the [Spirit World Boat] blocked this pressure. It carried Rhodes through the gap and found it quickly. The main cause of space folds.

It was a gray stone.

It was solidified in the cracks of this space, looking like a speck of dust in the boundless void.

This is a substance that does not belong here. This is the interior of space, and no physical matter exists. Even if debris falls here by chance, it will be eliminated by the huge space potential pressure.

It is hidden here by some special power.

"This should be it!"

Rhodes thought to himself, piloting the [Spirit World Boat] and flew over instantly, grabbing it in his hand.

At this moment, something like a bubble burst. Rhodes had no time to observe. The huge positional pressure caused his divine power to be consumed crazily. If he stayed here for a while, his divine power would be exhausted.

Turning the [Spirit World Boat] around, he instantly flew out of the gap in space and returned to the main material world.

"I got it!" Rhodes dispersed the gray mist and excitedly raised the stone in his hand.

What greeted him were countless shocked looks.

Rhine couldn't believe his eyes: "Brother Rhodes, how many miracles can you create?"

Romano yelled, "Sounder Bane is only allowed to warm your bed!"

Rhodes refused: "No, the name sounds like a big muscular man. I'm not interested in men."

He handed the stone to Thoros.

"Can you tell what this is? I don't feel anything out of the ordinary, it has no spirituality, it's just like an ordinary stone."

Soros took the unattractive stone and looked at it seriously.

Not far away, the wrinkles in the space have disappeared, which shows that it is the hidden object to be found, and the person who can hide this object in this way must be the god of ancient space.

After a long silence, Soros suddenly said: "This is a source weapon."

"Source device?"

Rhodes was shocked. He knew that the Origin Artifact was a real artifact, just like the Giant Sword, possessing extremely powerful power.

However, this stone has no power at all.

Everyone was also extremely surprised: "How could this be the source device?"

"Over the long years, its power has been lost."

Soros replied.

"The ancient space god once wanted to seal it with space, but some special power penetrated the barrier of space and corroded a hole inside the source device, and its power flowed away from it."

Rhode's heart sank. In the dream, the Book of Knowledge said: "This must be the influence of the black mist. It can penetrate space."

"but."

Soros's sudden change of tone caused everyone to raise their heads and look at their strongest man.

"Although the power of the source device has dissipated, the traces of time and years still remain on it. I can feel that there is still an ancient breath inside it, and it has a deep connection with the ancient gods. With the help of the prophecy, With the power of the city, maybe we can learn more about the secrets of the ancient era, especially the battle of Godouin Mountain!"

At this moment, the dull atmosphere was swept away.

Rhine shouted: "Yes, it must be like this. The Patriarch's prophecy must be referring to it! Through it, we will definitely be able to figure out the source of the eternal night and put an end to the disaster completely!"

Everyone had a smile on their face, except Soros.

"not that simple."

Thoros stared at the stone.

"It has been silent in the long river of time for too long. The erosion of the black mist has had a fatal impact on it. It is very difficult to use it to peek into that ancient era. Even the Patriarch , even the Prophecy City may not be able to do it.”

Rhine was not worried: "Your Excellency Soros, as long as it is in our hands, the Patriarch will always find a way."

Soros shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

"We should go back."

Rhine hurriedly said: "Lord Thoros, are we going to establish a new stronghold here? The battle of the Fallen Ship has ended, and this large area should be included in our territory."

Romano smiled and said: "Yes, once such a large vein is put into use, the production of high-level elements will rise to a higher level, and we will become stronger!"

The faces of many strong men were full of excitement and anticipation.

The area of ​​the Fallen Ship is excellent and its scope is huge. If Saint Lund annexes it, the territory will be expanded by at least 30%.

Only Soros looked calm and not too happy.

Soon, Rhine also realized the difficulty: "Establishing a stronghold on such a large area of ​​land is an extremely huge project. We need to mobilize countless people and a huge amount of materials..."

"yes!"

Romano also said: "The Fallen Ship is still a long way from the border of Saint Lund, and it needs a strong combat force to guard it..."

As he spoke, everyone's expressions dimmed, but at this moment, Rhodes suddenly spoke.

"It doesn't matter."

he said with a smile.

"There is a portal."

Rhine frowned and said: "The portal opens to Trolian, how can it be used here? Although the development of new strongholds is important, it is far inferior to Trolian."

Rhodes smiled lightly.

"Through my supreme wisdom, I have taken one step further to control the portal. From now on, the portal is no longer limited by time and frequency. In other words, I can open it anytime, anywhere, and it can last for an unlimited time. time...as long as the destination is the Holy Fire Sacrifice Site."

At this moment, the air became quiet.

Everyone's eyes widened, the ripples of shock clearly showing in every wrinkle on their faces.

Even Soros showed a rare expression of surprise.

Rhine shouted wildly: "You, you, you, what did you say? Say it again?"

Rhodes could only repeat it once.

"No, it's not enough, I have to listen to it again!"

Rhodes frowned and looked at him: "Are you mentally retarded? I described it very clearly."

"No, no, you don't understand. Brother Rhodes, you don't understand this feeling. I have been suppressed by darkness since I was born. There is terrifying black mist everywhere, terrifying monsters, corruption, and death. , mutation, degeneration, following me like a shadow, and every time I become stronger, I will come into contact with a more powerful darkness, and this depression does not lighten, but becomes heavier."

"I have been depressed for countless years. Human beings have been depressed for countless years. All living creatures have been depressed for countless years. I need such miraculous good news. I will never get tired of hearing it no matter how many times. It passes through like the light of dawn. Through the darkness, it shines into the world!"

"Come on, say it again!"

Everyone's eyes were shining at this moment, even Soros was no exception.

Rhodes had to repeat it dozens of times.

Everyone was intoxicated after listening to it, as if they had drunk hundreds of tons of strong alcohol. They were intoxicated in such dreamlike happiness and did not want to wake up for a long time.

Rhodes' mouth went dry as he spoke, until Soros opened his mouth.

"Brother Rhodes, please show this miracle."

Only then did Rhodes stop, his divine power touched the [Spirit Boat], and the portal opened in front of him in an instant.

Compared with before, it has become more stable, and the pure white light is as substantial as white marble.

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Rhodes smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the portal instantly expanded, turning into a giant door hundreds of yards high and hundreds of yards wide.

The golden light of the Holy Fire Sacrifice shines from the gate, illuminating the entire area.

At this moment, the shocked shouts flooded the world like a tide.

"Let the soldiers return to the royal city to repair first." Rhodes said with a smile.

There is nothing more surprising than this. Under the command of Rhine and others, hundreds of thousands of warriors marched in neat steps and returned directly from the Fallen Ship to the Royal City of Saint Lund.

The huge and long process of returning to the city only took a short time.

Later, Soros, Rhine, and Romano told the Patriarch the entire incident in detail.

The Patriarch, who had been fixed on the throne of flesh and blood for countless years, also jumped up at this moment. He only asked three words.

"Really?"

Soros answered him with head movements.

At this moment, Rhodes even felt that the Chief Shepherd was giving him a tap dance. Of course, the Chief Shepherd, who had turned into a sarcoma, really did this. The scene was too eye-catching.

In the end, the Patriarch sat back and regained his former composure.

However, his psychic ripples were not peaceful.

Rhodes felt that the special psychic ripples emitted from the Throne of Flesh were sloping in all directions like an ocean.

Under his command, the huge machine of Saint Lund started operating, and countless people and materials came to the Fallen Ship area through the portal in batches.

They began to purify the ground, clean up the pollution, ignite the guardian fire, and establish a stronghold.

New warriors also came here and began to establish a garrison.

That giant portal became the transportation hub from Saint Lund to the Fallen Ship area.

Such a miracle shocked everyone.

The deeds of "Rhodes of Trolian" are spread throughout Saint Lund. His prestige here has risen sharply, and is no longer inferior to his status in Trolian.

Rhodes was also filled with joy. This trip to the "Fallen Boat" brought him great gains.

Needless to say, the enhancement of the portal, the "ship of the spirit world" is also invincible.

He has tried it. As long as he is in the area illuminated by fire, he can reach it in an instant. No matter how far the distance is, the difference is only a few seconds.

And if he carries a fire spirit lamp, he can travel at the same speed in the black fog. However, too fast a speed will cause him to accumulate countless pollution in an instant. If he does not grasp it well, the spirit lamp will be swallowed up by the black fog in an instant and disappear. If it is extinguished, he will also be seriously contaminated that is difficult to purify.

What makes Rhodes depressed is that both [Red Tears] and [Spirit Boat] require divine support, and he cannot use both at the same time, which means that unless he can obtain a strong enough fire protection power, he cannot penetrate the fire. When the 300,000-yard black fog reaches the coordinates displayed by the "Celestial Sphere Clock", it is impossible to enter Godouin Mountain and retrieve the last fragments of the Book of Knowledge and the Doll.

However, the Book of Knowledge quickly reminded him:

"Master, when you conquered the Fallen Ship, the protective fire carried by that strong human being that was blessed by the Holy Emperor could protect the black mist accumulated by the super-speed movement of the [Spirit World Ship]. If my calculations If you are right, you should only need 4 to 5 such spiritual lanterns."

Hope suddenly arose in Rhodes' heart, and he immediately made a request to Soros, asking for five spiritual lamps blessed by the Holy Emperor of Fire.

But unfortunately, all the spiritual lamps during the battle have been extinguished, and the blessing of the Holy Emperor of Fire has exhausted all their power.

"Sir Rhodes, the Holy Emperor of Fire has more important things to do now."

Soros said calmly.

When he said this, Rhodes noticed a hint of sadness in his expression, and even the joy of the portal could not be suppressed.

"The Blessing Fire Spirit Lamp can only wait until three days later."

Rhodes was overjoyed and waited for three days.

After three days, he can go to Godouin Mountain.

However, before going, you must wait for Asa to wake up.

Without prophecy, he would not dare to step into such a terrifying area at will.

At this time, Thoros asked again: "Sir Rhodes, do you need the Fire Lamp because you want to travel far?"

Rhodes agreed vaguely and said nothing more.

Soros nodded, knowing that this is the secret of human life.

"Sir Rhodes, I hope this matter will not take you too long. The expedition team to Arno is about to be prepared. Your trip to Arno is a very important matter."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Sir Thoros, you don't have to worry. As long as there are enough spiritual lamps, it will only take me a few quarters of an hour to reach Arno."

Soros looked at him thoughtfully and said nothing.

Rhodes paused and continued.

"As long as I get to Arno, there will no longer be a problem of distance between humans."

Soros nodded slightly. He and Damu Capital already knew this result.

It can be said that at this moment, Rhodes' importance among Saint Lund is second only to the Holy Emperor of Fire.

As long as he exists, there is a link between humans.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, each thinking about their own things, and the air became silent.

After an unknown amount of time, the Patriarch's voice suddenly sounded in the air.

"Soros, Rhodes, I have confirmed that the source device you brought back is of extremely high value, and there are many traces of time on its remaining parts."

Rhodes was overjoyed and asked eagerly: "Then we can know the secrets of the ancient era?"

The Patriarch paused and gave an answer similar to Soros:

"It's not that simple. There are great difficulties in going back to the Prophecy City. The ancient era is too long, and it is very difficult to prophesy through the layers of black mist... You guys go to the main prophecy tower. The big prophecy disk needs more energy support.”

After hearing this, Rhodes immediately set off and came to Prophecy City with Soros.

At this time, the entire prophecy city was filled with a strange light, and colorful light pillars shuttled through countless towers, finally converging on the main prophecy tower.

When Rhodes stepped into the main tower of prophecy, he discovered that almost all the prophecies in the prophecy city were here. The huge prophecy disk shone with a strong light, and unprecedented power of prophecy shone in the air.

However, the prophecy still could not be formed. The gray stone was placed in the center of the prophecy disk without any change.

"Your Excellency Soros, Your Excellency Rhodes."

An old man wearing a prophetic robe came to them. He was the great prophet of the Prophecy City and was responsible for the operation of the main prophecy tower.

"I'm sorry. Although the Patriarch said you might be useful, based on our current situation, we cannot make a prediction even with the divine blessing of Lord Thoros."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Why?"

The great prophet replied with a sad look: "Based on the current situation, what we lack may not be a problem of scale, but a problem of prophecy level. Direct prophecy exploration of the source device and the ancient era requires extremely high The prophecy level cannot be replaced by scale. We need a higher-level core and a higher existence, otherwise the prophecy will never be completed."

"No, this is impossible!" Another prophet shouted wildly: "I don't believe that with Lord Soros's divine power, the scale of our predictions can be expanded to an unprecedented level, and we will definitely be able to complete the predictions."

The great prophet said dullly: "You try it."

Thoros lowered his head slightly, came to the big prophecy plate, stretched out his hand and touched the edge lightly. The next second, terrifying divine power bloomed in him, and at the same time, up to 9 billion spiritual energy burst out.

This powerful force instantly poured into the big prophecy disk, and in the main tower, strange light began to shine crazily.

The great prophet shouted: "Lord Thoros is here, all prophecy units are operating at full capacity!"

The light began to spread and instantly enveloped the entire Prophecy City.

The unprecedented power of prophecy gathered on that stone, trying to find echoes of the past based on the traces it left in the long river of time.

But, as the great prophet said, it failed.

The stone was motionless and unresponsive. The prophetic light flashed back and forth, but it could not gather to form a prophetic picture.

"no."

The great prophet said dejectedly.

“The road to scale prophecy has come to an end, and we can’t go any further.”

Rhodes watched all this silently, and suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind.

He thought about the Book of the Future.

No, that is already the Book of Eternity.

Will it work?

Rhodes returned to his dream and came to the House of God. On the bookshelf, Asa was still silent and showed no sign of waking up.

"Book, is there any way to wake it up?"

The Book of Knowledge ran in from outside, checked it and said, "No, this guy's spirit is too weak to control such a powerful Book of Eternity. It's better to destroy it. Waiting for it is a waste of time. No one can stop it." Master, advance.”

Rhodes hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "Wait a little longer."

The Book of Knowledge did not persuade. It is very busy now. As the dream world recovers, the consumption of soulless souls begins to increase sharply. Any miracle in the dream world has a price, and the price is the soulless soul. If there is no soulless soul, If it does, these miraculous buildings will gradually deteriorate.

However, before leaving, it still added: "Master, the Book of Eternity is a very powerful item. It is different from me and the doll. It is an item by nature, and no spirit has ever been born on it. Asa There should be no way to control this object, and it may never wake up..."

Rhodes nodded: "I understand."

The book of knowledge went out.

After that, Rhodes tried a variety of methods, including awakening with sound, awakening physically, awakening with the breath of destiny, awakening with divine power or psychic energy, and awakening with blood, but all failed.

Asa's soul remained silent, showing no signs of recovery.

In the bookshelf, the Eternal Book lay quietly, motionless.

Rhodes also felt a little frustrated. Do he really want to give up? Although it did not affect the use of the Book of Eternity, Asa had been with him for a long time, and he really didn't want to give up like this.

After hesitating for a moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Maybe I can't wake it up, but someone can wake it up."

He immediately rushed to the obelisk and woke up Asa who had been sleeping for a long time.

"Master, do you have any orders?" Asa asked in a daze.

Rhodes told him the matter simply: "Asa, I give you a task to awaken the Book of Eternity."

Asa was silent for a few seconds and said: "Master, please forgive me for not being able to act according to your destiny. You know, I have an incomprehensible hatred with that idiot. Its dissipation is what I wish for."

Rhodes sneered: "Asa, don't forget, how did you enter the dreamland in the first place? If the spirit of the Book of Eternity dissipates like this, who will you prove to you that you are not a fool? You will rule the world in the future. , who can see it? Who can you influence?"

Asana's turbid soul was shocked, and suddenly, he was connected.

"I understand, Master, I understand, as expected of you, compared to you, I am indeed a fool."

Asa stood up and flew directly into the House of God.

"But compared to this idiot, I am the genius among geniuses!"

The turbid soul swelled, and the feces-filled tentacles inserted directly into the book and touched Asa's soul.

"You idiot with no intelligence!"

"Why don't you listen to my orders? What are you fooling around with? Why is your destiny control a few seconds slow? Why don't you cooperate with me in fighting?"

Almost like a miracle, Asa's soul began to tremble in the Book of Eternity. It tried its best to open its eyes, but it seemed to be under heavy pressure.

Asa began to output unscrupulously. He listed all the battles they had experienced together, not missing every detail, and criticized it as worthless from various angles. At the same time, his feces-filled tentacles kept pushing. Its soul seemed to be pointing at its nose and scolding it. Even Rhodes couldn't help but want to hit someone after hearing those vicious words.

Its effect was immediate, and Asa's soul began to tremble crazily. It tried its best to wake up and refute everything, but it couldn't bear the feeling of being scolded.

"It actually works?"

Rhodes couldn't believe his eyes. He just treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't expect it to be useful.

In a frantic struggle, Asa's soul gradually penetrated deeper into the Book of Eternity. It was merging with this powerful object, but its soul was still too weak to control the book.

"no."

At some point, the Book of Knowledge also came to the bookshelf and said regretfully: "It still doesn't work. The soul has essential flaws. Just annihilate it, Master."

However, in the next second, Asana's feces-filled tentacles suddenly entered its soul body. The soul that was extremely lacking in soul power immediately grabbed this life-saving straw and sank it into the Book of Eternity.

At this moment, a strange light lights up on the Eternal Book, connecting to their souls. At this moment, their fates are connected, and their life and death are shared.

Snapped!

The cover of the Book of Eternity suddenly opened, and Asa jumped up, slapped Asa's hand away, and cursed angrily:

"What a bastard! You are a fool, a fool, an idiot. If you weren't poisoned by feces, why would you let me attack the great dream? The Book of Destiny that I finally condensed was blown up like this. You …”

Suddenly, it froze.

"I-I woke up?"

"Do I control the Book of Eternity?"

"Oh my God, this, this infinite power of destiny, I have a glimpse of the power of infinite destiny! I finally became the controller of destiny! Hahahaha! I did it!"

Rhodes smiled and said, "Yes, you did it."

The Book of Knowledge turned the pages and exclaimed: "What a miracle, their destinies are therefore conjoined. No wonder their names are the same."

"idiot."

Asa sneered:

"You see, without my help, you are nothing, idiot, enjoy this joy, I will let you know that the fate of your stool being controlled by me is unchangeable."

After saying that, he left the House of God, returned to the obelisk, and continued to digest the stool essence and evil thoughts elements in his body.

Asa also sneered: "Don't be too happy, I will break this fate. I am the real and only Asa! No one can have the same pronunciation as me!"

"alright!"

Rhodes interrupted their love affair.

"You finally woke up. Now, I have a very important mission for you."
