The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1690 - 788: Ruins (2)

Of course, no one would do that.

The immense consumption is something no kingdom or civilization can bear.

The target for the Ascension Ceremony is best suited for a potential human genius.

And there are so many geniuses in Trolian, the only lack is development. If the Ascension Ceremony could be freely used, how many strong individuals would Trolian produce? How many True Kings, how many great Monarchs? If they all completed their ascensions, could Trolian surpass the golden age of the Fire Kingdom?

Even just thinking about such a scene makes everyone excited and eager.

Therefore, during this time, the Royal City has been fully committed to refining the Three Elements needed for the Ascension Ceremony, with more than half of Trolian’s resources consumed on this.

With the accumulation of massive resources, the Three Elements have finally reached some storage, averaging more than 10 sets produced weekly.

However, another key material required for the Ascension Ceremony—Divine Stone—cannot be manufactured.

Rod originally had 15 Divine Stones, 6 were used for the Ascension Ceremonies of Olivia and the Dark Moon Princess, leaving 9.

The stock is nearly depleted. If the next Ascension Ceremony reaches the third round, it can barely be supported. If it reaches the fourth round, it won’t be enough.

Therefore, they must not only search for Divine Source Material but also find more Divine Stones.

And in this round of expansion, although they acquired many resources, they still did not find any Divine Source Material or Divine Stones.

The Book of Knowledge tells Rod: "Divine Source Material is a soul material owned only by the gods of the Ancient Epoch. It can only exist externally in relic form. Even if human strongmen from the Fire Epoch defeated an Ancient God, they could not seize His soul unless the person is the Master of Dreams. However, the Master of Dreams would surely give the Mythical Source Material to a specific human strongman for fusion. In that case, the Divine Source Material would also exist within that strongman’s soul."

"In short, it is almost impossible to exist externally. We should search for traces of the Ancient Gods, slay Ancient Gods, and obtain it from their souls."

Rod nodded. As for the Divine Stones, they are special creations from the Fire Epoch. They can only be obtained from relics on the Main Continent, where they are also scarce outside the Main Continent’s relics.

The Royal City has long been looking for a road to the Main Continent but has made little progress. The Main Continent is too far, and the journey is fraught with dangers. The explorers have traveled as far as thirty thousand kilometers but have not left the Edge Continent. They haven’t even crossed the Dark Great Plain of the North. The dense Black Fog halts further exploration, and the endless perilous lands prevent surpassing the limits of distance easily.

After this Ascension Ceremony, the Royal City formed a heavyweight exploration team, led personally by Alan, heading beyond the Dead Ash Mountain Range into the depths of the distant Dark Great Plain.

According to Professor Bins’ latest research, the end of the Dark Great Plain is likely the edge of the Main Continent.

Meanwhile, an exploration team personally led by Investigation Legion Commander Liszt set off in another direction to explore the other three Edge Continents, searching for the potentially surviving Fire Kingdom.

Hope all goes well.

Rod thought silently, returning to the Dream Realm.

The Book of the Future closed its pages regretfully, saying: "Master, I still haven’t found the Source Material you need, only knowing it’s not far from you. Perhaps I need to become stronger to find their exact location."

Although he had already expected this result, Rod still felt an inescapable sense of disappointment. It seemed the route of quantification and awakening using the Source Materials of the Eye of Divine and the Glutton was not feasible.

Perhaps he can only forcibly go to the Ancestor’s Grave to retrieve the other half of the Giant Divine Sword and use the Giant God Power to cross the soul chasm.

After pondering for a moment, Rod asked in a deep voice: "Book, if I go to the Ancestor’s Grave with Horus, Kai, Olivia, the Dark Moon Princess, plus the Teleportation Gate, is there still danger?"

The Book of the Future flipped its pages: "Yes, still great, but much better than before. If the King of Bright Light can reach the expected strength, or if there are two more True Kings or five great Monarchs, the danger would be within an acceptable range."

Five great Monarchs... The Divine Stones are definitely not enough unless each only uses one round of the Ascension Ceremony.

Two True Kings would also be difficult.

But as long as they obtain Divine Source Material, Horus can continue to ascend. With three to four great Monarchs, they can go to the Ancestor’s Grave.

In that instant, Rod made up his mind: "Asa, can you predict what I should do to obtain enough Divine Source Material? Or, you can try directly to find the location of the Ancient God."

The Book of the Future trembled slightly but quickly became excited again: "Master, I will try."

It rapidly flipped its pages, Golden Light flickering between the pages. White mist rose, golden ancient trees began to sway, and the breath of destiny rushed forth, slightly easing Rod’s anxious mood.

After an unknown length of time, the Book of the Future finally closed its pages, the Golden Light dissipated, and the white mist withdrew.

"Master!"

It shouted excitedly.

"I saw the strings of destiny. They guide towards the south. You will find opportunities related to Divine Source Material deeper south of Trolian."
