The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1689 - 788: Ruins

Tesrivian Calendar, Year 1326.

22nd day of the 13th month.

The white light of the Holy City illuminated the entire Trolian.

The Sea of Source echoed with shimmering ripples, proclaiming the return of the King of Bright Light.

The White Tower foresaw a dramatic change in the future, amidst chaotic visions, there was a flicker of bright light.

On the same night.

There was an unprecedented full moon phase.

The dazzling silver moon occupied a third of the sky, with infinite moonlight piercing through the Black Fog, illuminating every detail of the continent shrouded in endless Black Fog.

In the Royal City, even the commoners could directly see that gigantic moon, a size they had never seen before, with its boiling Spirit on the surface, the swinging corona like lazy long sleeves, the highly luminous and fast-moving flares, and the occasional fleeting moonspots.

All stargazers and prophets gathered at the White Tower and the astronomical observatory, unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

According to legend, the moon once revolved in such a low orbit in the Starry Sky, it happened several thousand years ago.

In the astrology of the sun, moon, and stars, the moon holds an extremely important position. Studying the moon phases plays a crucial role in the study of the entire astrology and prophetic technique.

Those in Trolian’s upper echelons who knew the truth felt extreme regret.

If fate had not reached its limit, then they would have gained two new True Kings this day, one as mighty as a King.

Horus’s enhancement truly exceeded everyone’s expectations. No one imagined that after the Holy King perished so many years ago and handed over his Residual Soul with his legacy, his remaining bit of Residual Spirit still possessed such powerful strength.

According to the White Tower’s estimation, if unhindered, Horus could very likely break through 10 units of Root Origin at once, reaching the limit of level 17 Spiritual Energy.

But due to humanity’s fate being unable to bear Horus’s Root Origin, his Source Law Strength only elevated to 5 units of Root Origin, and Spiritual Power Strength just barely broke through 30 million kilokels.

Nevertheless, this power was not wasted. It connected with the Residual Spirit of the Holy King, jointly stored on the throne of his corpse.

Moreover, Horus had synchronized with the throne of bones. As long as Fuel Element and Firewood continually burned beneath the throne, new power would keep being born and would feed back into Horus’s soul.

At this moment, Trolian’s Archbishop completely inherited the legacy of the Holy King, the first King of the Fire Epoch, and after countless years, the Crown of the King of Bright Light was placed on Horus’s head in this manner, making him a member among many of the life of man and Platinum’s children in Trolian.

The only difference is he held the throne of bones of the Holy King, while the King held the throne of the Source Heavenly God.

Who is strong and who is weak is yet to be determined.

Luo Weiya once again declared that numerous ancient deities and mighty entities were resurrected in Trolian, signifying the official rise of the Fire Epoch.

Trolian was once again injected with a dose of adrenaline, and the expansion that had slightly stalled with the coming of great pollution, began vigorously anew.

This time, the combat power seemed much richer, as Trolian gained two more great monarchs at the pinnacle level, entities capable of independently defending territories.

Coupled with Horus’s significant increase in strength, the area he could protect greatly expanded, making the new round of expansion wars not only faster but more stable.

However, Trolian’s upper echelons still felt dissatisfaction.

If Trolian could be a bit stronger, with more population and more mighty figures...

After the 22nd day, no one did not think of such a possibility.

More mighty figures mean more territory, more space, more resources, and a more secure Kingdom facing great pollution.

Of course, overall strength cannot be achieved in a short time, but they had another way.

Divine Source Material.

As long as they acquired more Divine Source Material, the great river running through Trolian could carry more large ships.

Moreover, they needed more Divine Stones.

The strength of the Ascension Ceremony was evident to all.

Everyone who went through the Ascension Ceremony gained unimaginable tremendous enhancement.

It could only be said, indeed fitting a soul enhancement ceremony specifically tailored for humanity, to improve the ancient primitive Ascension Ceremony to such an extent, that surely had to be the work of an unparalleled genius.

Royal city scholars currently believe that the Fire Epoch rose from devastation to peak prosperity due to the emergence of the Fire Ascension Ceremony.

The creator of the Fire Ascension Ceremony was called "Ascensionist" and also "Creator."

It was he who founded the royal path for humanity, thus the so-called human Epoch.

The essence of the Ascension Ceremony was to squeeze human potential to the limit, forcibly raising the soul’s ceiling, though such a cost was substantial, hence the more rounds of Ascension Ceremony, the multiplying resources required. Its limit being seven rounds, to complete the seventh round of Ascension Ceremony would need 64 Divine Stones, 128 Light Stones, Pure Star Source, and Pure Star Marrow.

This was an unimaginable huge number, but legend had it, as long as one could achieve the seventh round of Ascension Ceremony, even a pig could become a great monarch.
