CH 143

Name:The Last King of Darkness Author:
Due to the repeated entry and exit before, Rode has been in saint mode these days. The thought of entering the dream is nauseating, and his soul and spirit are exhausted. The aftermath of "Awakening" is also significant.

Just as Rode was recovering a bit, he immediately returned to the dream.

There was no change in the dream, except that there were more sunstones, rubies, true silver, soul red crystals, and potions.

Looking at these piles of resources, Rode smiled so much that his mouth split open. He moved them all to the corner of the small house and piled them together with the remaining resources.

Then, Rode walked into the small house, and a seventeen-sided figure on the back of his hand began to boil and turned into a white mist, flying into the house.

The white light enveloped the small house. When it dissipated, a rocking chair appeared in the empty small house.

But other than that, there seemed to be no other changes.

Rode walked to the rocking chair and gently touched it. A line of information appeared in his mind.

【Wooden Rocking Chair】: Used for the rest of the soul and the recovery of the spirit.

Seems to be useful.

Rode tried sitting on it, and the rocking chair began to sway slightly. It faced the front door of the small house. Although it was misty and empty outside the door, there was still a sense of tranquility as if an old man who had put everything down was sitting on the rocking chair, gazing at the sunset.

After sitting for only a few minutes, Rode felt a little more comfortable.

Maybe he could try to sleep in the dream later.

Getting up, Rode checked the stone platform and found two more formulas on it.

【Tear of the Goddess】: Purifies all corrupt curses and purifies the soul.

Requires a perfect teardrop stone and three starlight fragments.

【Illusion Vision Band】: Disguises appearance.

Requires a portion of humanity and a portion of any ghost's ashes.

---

Still useful.

Rode left the stone platform and came to the bookshelf. He found that its appearance had changed significantly. The shelf became larger and more sturdy, covered with many strange spiritual patterns, and there was an extra book on the shelf.

Rode reached out and touched the bookshelf, and three lines of information appeared directly in his mind.

【Miracle Bookshelf】: Used to accommodate, store, and restore miracle books.

【Book of the Past】 (Damaged): Can see the images of the past that have disappeared in the river of history.

【Book of Knowledge】: Records, completes, and corrects acquired knowledge. To obtain knowledge outside of the dream, it requires the consumption of spiritual items.

"Descend of Heaven"

Rode felt slightly strange. The dream had become friendlier. Was it because its completeness had increased?

He took down the Book of the Past.

It was also a large book, but its cover was gray. When he flipped through the pages, they were all blank.

But the method of using it appeared in his mind. Rode took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual sense to connect with the Book of the Past in his hand.

Soon, a half-circle appeared in his mind, and he infused it with spiritual energy. However, the mental connection was immediately severed.

Rode opened his eyes and saw the Book of the Past flipping through the pages as if blown by a strong wind.

Suddenly, it stopped, and an image appeared on the pages. It was a 45-degree tilted aerial view, and the scene was the small house, and the person was himself. He took the book from the shelf, held it in his hands, and suddenly, a faint light appeared on the book, and the pages began to flip.

The image ended here, and a line of information appeared in his mind:

The land of dreams cannot be retraced.

Rode nodded slightly. The dream was indeed special.

But it should be fine in the material world. Although the Book of the Past cannot be taken out of the dream, it can be used directly in the spirit.

The method of how to use it was also imprinted in his mind.

After careful study for a while, Rode was somewhat disappointed.

This book is not very useful. The longer it traces the past, the more spiritual energy it requires. If it exceeds thirty years, specific items from that era are needed to anchor the time. With his current spiritual energy, it would be good if he could see two or three years.

And the history here is counted in thousands of years. He simply cannot use it to find treasures or anything.

If only there was a Book of the Future.

Rode thought silently.

He put back the Book of the Past and took down the Book of Knowledge, unexpectedly finding that it had also undergone a huge change.

Its pages became more magnificent, and every pattern turned into pure gold. The words "Book of Knowledge" were shining brightly.

A line of information was transmitted from his mind, and Rode realized that the previous Book of Knowledge was also incomplete. After being completed, its concept of "knowledge" expanded, which means it can answer more questions.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Rode immediately proposed a method of communicating with living souls.

But the Book of Knowledge still showed that it required twenty rubies.

Seems useless. Answering questions shouldn't cost money.

Rode fed twenty rubies into it and obtained a short answer:

"Adjust the frequency of spiritual energy to match the corresponding soul frequency." It also included the method of adjustment.

Is it that simple?

Fortunately, the rubies were given by Manolobana as a friendly gift; otherwise, he would definitely feel heartbroken.

Let's deal with the matter of the soul first.

Rode thought.

He approached the Soul Altar and lightly touched Greygrove's soul.It has been several days since the trial incident, and his soul has calmed down, unable to hear any sound.

Rode adjusted his spiritual power according to the method in the Book of Knowledge until his soul resonated with the other party.

"Greygrove, can you hear me?"

A roaring sound echoed in this despicable soul.

This was the voice transmitted after the spiritual resonance, giving a strange and grand feeling.

Greygrove's soul immediately responded with ecstatic joy.

"Master! Is it you? You finally came! Please save me and take me out! I will forever serve you! I will always kneel at your feet!"

He didn't recognize me at all and didn't know his current state.

Rode thought to himself.

Perhaps it's better this way.

He thought for a moment and said in an evil tone, "Greygrove, your master can no longer save you. Your soul is in my hands. Your next words will determine whether you regain your freedom or become my snack."

Greygrove eagerly shouted, "I agree to any conditions you have!"

"Then, I will test your loyalty first. Tell me what you have done in the past."

Greygrove immediately began to ramble, as if he had been tormented by desolation and was on the verge of madness. Communicating with any intelligent being became a form of relief.

He explained in detail everything he had done in the past, leaving no detail behind, and explained that everything he did was to destroy humanity and welcome a greater existence.

After listening for a while, Rode couldn't help but admire Greygrove's contributions to Thalorian.

He had completed numerous missions with significant threats, assisted his teammates in killing powerful monsters at critical moments, and made full use of his ability "Cage," making him a highly intelligent combatant.

However, in the long battles, Greygrove increasingly felt the insignificance and powerlessness of humanity. There were always much stronger monsters in the darkness, and every monster they faced had a spiritual power level three times higher than theirs, which meant that the absolute spiritual power strength of the monsters was nine times theirs.

Greygrove became more and more confused, feeling that there was no way out for humanity. Any victory was just a fleeting firework. His faith dissipated like a firework in the endless battles.

Until one day, a doomsday cultist from the Descendants Sect found him and told him about their ideal blueprint. Greygrove was immediately moved and established a new dream. He joined the Descendants Sect and quickly became one of the high-ranking members.

Everything he did afterwards was to assist the Descendants Sect in realizing their ultimate dream - welcoming the arrival of the "Ancient Dominator" and transforming into a new era of dark humanity.

From Greygrove's words, Rode learned a lot of information about the Descendants Sect and its members. They had a close relationship with the Polluters Sect, so he also obtained information about many followers of the Polluters Sect.

What surprised Rode was that Greygrove's attack on Sword Pass was not aimed at him, nor was it for malicious destruction. It was an order from the highest level of the Descendants Sect, and only he knew the true intention.

Unfortunately, Greygrove didn't know who this highest level was.

After listening, Rode said in a cold tone, "Greygrove, I will verify the truth of what you said. You better not deceive me."

Greygrove shouted, "Greygrove will never deceive a great existence. May my master descend soon and save the suffering humanity."

Rode severed the connection of their souls and planned to report this information to the Internal Affairs Adjudication Hall as soon as he woke up from the dream.

But before that, he needed to find the location of the evil ghost tattoo on his back.

Rode began to wander in the dream.

When he arrived at the left side of the cabin, his back suddenly felt hot. Rode's heart moved. This is it.

He raised his hand, and the evil ghost tattoo turned into a black mist and flew into the corner of the cabin wall.

The black mist dissipated, revealing a black large jar in the corner.

What is this?

Rode curiously approached.

Suddenly, a skinny evil ghost crawled out of the large jar and opened its mouth wide towards him.

Rode was startled, but he quickly realized that the evil ghost had no intention of attacking him. He cautiously approached and gently touched the edge of the large jar.

【Evil Ghost Stone Jar】(Incomplete)

【Craving Soul】: Feed it with humanity to produce Evil Spirit Stones.

Evil Spirit Stones?

Rode decided to give it a try. He didn't lack humanity now. The humanity in the Monument of Humanity was already full with 1000 points, and there were at least a hundred scattered outside, as well as two Humanity Flowers.

Rode put the humanity and Humanity Flowers into the storage space and took out fifty portions, feeding them one by one to the evil ghost that opened its mouth like a chick.

The evil ghost feasted happily, eating with great joy.

After feeding thirty portions, the evil ghost spewed out a pure black stone and retreated into the jar.

Rode picked up the stone.

【Evil Spirit Stone】: A power core formed by the condensed blood of evil ghosts. It can be used as a vessel for souls and can also obtain powerful strength. However, the user will be watched by evil ghosts, and as time goes by, their soul will eventually be devoured by the evil ghosts.

Damn.

What's the use of this thing?Rode was quite disappointed. Although he had plenty of humanity, thirty portions were not a small amount, equivalent to three hundred points. To exchange them for such a thing, it felt like a loss.

Perhaps this "vessel of the soul" would be of some use.

Rode put the Stone of Evil Spirit into the storage and left the dream.

He wrote all the information he got from Greygrove on a piece of paper, but he didn't send it out immediately because he hadn't figured out how to explain the source of the information.

Just then, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Rode put away the letter, opened the door, and saw Principal Vila and Mina standing outside.

"The psychic advancement ceremony is ready, come with us."
