CHAPTER 1160: CHAPTER 594: THE MARK OF DIVINITY, MOMENT OF VICTORY_4

Rod felt a surge of excitement, instantly forgetting those unpleasant thoughts.

Indeed.

Only by stepping into the domain of the Commander, can everything truly begin.

The Dark Devourer’s Star Soul has returned for quite a while; it’s time to activate it!

Rod strode towards the Obelisk, glancing at the requirements of the [Song of Life].

"76 pieces of Soul Firewood, two King’s Souls, two pieces of Strong Source, 18 sources, 7.6 billion Souls Without Spirit!"

Absolutely enough!

Rod extracted 760 points of Divinity, crafting 76 pieces of Soul Firewood on the Stone Platform, and then extracted the [Deep Sea King Asdes’ Dark Soul] and [Chaos Demon King’s Soul], allowing the Book of Knowledge to perform segmented extraction.

These King’s Souls usually contain many special materials, and the Book of Knowledge can utilize the Obelisk’s power to completely separate them.

The process was utterly calm, but Asa felt a cold shiver in his heart, secretly thinking the master was undeniably an unimaginably great existence, capable of such unimaginable feats.

Soon, the Book of Knowledge separated 2 pieces of Strong Source, 13 sources, and 70 pieces of Nightmare Material.

Adding the previously sacrificed souls resulted in acquiring 7 additional sources, completing all the necessary materials.

Rod lightly touched the Obelisk’s surface, arriving at the Soul Wilderness.

Guided by the Book of Knowledge, he quickly reached the location of [Song of Life].

It appeared as a heap of massive ashes, exhibiting a peculiar charred black color, the ashes interlinked as if corrupted remnants.

Rod took a deep breath, consecutively adding 2 King’s Souls, 2 pieces of Strong Source, 18 sources, 7.6 billion Souls Without Spirit, and 76 pieces of Soul Firewood into the ashes.

Boom!

A surge of pale flames rose into the sky!

The flames sequentially tinged red, green, and pinkish white.

The next moment, a colossal life force erupted forth, suddenly invigorating the dead silent wilderness with vitality, the scent of burgeoning and flourishing life filled the air.

Rod looked up, seeing words in white manifesting within the apparently living flames.

[Song of Life]

[State: Constant Burning]

[Star Energy: Eternal Activity]

[Quantification: Life Gem]

[Position: Eternal Fire]

[Strength: 9,200,000]

[Description: There’s only one kind of hero in the world, a person who understands darkness and dares to strike against it]

——

[Eternal Activity]: Greatly enhances life strength, stimulates the inherent power of life, digs deep into the soul’s potential, further improves soul strength.

——

So this is the Primordial Great Star, one of the three pillars?

Rod didn’t immediately feel any difference, but upon returning to the Dream Realm, everything changed.

An intense heat surged wildly from within his body, as though a volcano erupted in his heart, pouring scalding magma into his veins, spreading to his limbs.

His soul felt immersed in boiling oil, experiencing excruciating pain while sensing a stronger force emerging from deep within.

"Ahhh, I feel like I’m going to be burnt!"

Rod saw blood red before his eyes, unable to see anything else, only hearing the Book of Knowledge shouting: "Master, concentrate, feel your body’s transformation! You are stepping from ordinary into greatness!"

Rod felt his heart pounding furiously, the intense heat seemingly unbearable, yet he remembered the Book of Knowledge’s words, avoiding retreat from the suffering, attentively sensing the bodily change.

Gradually, he no longer felt the searing heat; warmth began to flow through his limbs, and his soul seemed to soak in suitably tempered soup.

An unusual sensation of exhilaration rippled through him, Rod suddenly opened his eyes, feeling as though reborn!

"Master! You’ve succeeded! Your soul strength has surpassed 70,000,000!"

"What?"

Rod exclaimed, surprised, "But isn’t the strength of [Song of Life] only 9,200,000?"

The Book of Knowledge excitedly said, "Look closely at its Star Energy!"

Rod lifted his gaze carefully, seeing [Song of Life] shimmering atop the Obelisk’s soul surface, with a new line of text appearing under the stars.

[Eternal Activity]: Currently enhances Spiritual Power Strength by 12,000,000.

The Book of Knowledge proudly said, "If the master continues to grow stronger, this strength will significantly increase!"

Rod paused, suddenly somewhat incredulous.

"Does this mean..."

"That’s right, Master, you’ve already stepped into the ranks of the Commander!"

Rod froze briefly, his mind blank; seconds later, ecstasy surged from his heart like a volcanic eruption!

"That means I can activate the Dark Devourer’s Star Soul now!"

The Book of Knowledge cried joyously, "Yes! Go quickly, Master; I’ve waited for this day for far too long, so long I’ve felt foolish, boo-hoo-hoo, I, the symbol of wisdom and knowledge, felt like a fool..."

It suddenly wailed, although it shed no tears, it expressed genuine emotion.

The puppet knelt down, wrapped its arms around, and gently patted it.

For some reason, Rod actually sensed some feeling of motherly kindness and filial piety. He stepped forward, looked up at the night sky of the dreamscape, just like last time, and his gaze met that dark red star.

In the next instant, he was in that eerie space once again.

Scorching white flames burned in the space, the center was a ring of dark red flame, within the ring was a dark void.

Rod once again approached the dark red fire ring, reached out, and gently touched it with his finger.

Boom!

In the next instant, a sweeping brightness surged from all directions, and the flames rolled back, retreating like a tide into the fire ring.

A pair of red eyes opened within the black hole.

As Rod’s gaze met them, a feeling of unfamiliarity pierced straight into his heart, like two components yet to be integrated being forcefully joined together.

A strange connection emerged in the soul.

In the dreamscape, the starlight of the Dark Devourer intensified, the dark red glow engulfing everything.

Even the dream bubble turned dark red.

While Rod was still dazed, the information about the new star appeared in his mind.

[Dark Devourer]

[State: Primordial]

[Position: Sea of Source]

[Star Energy: Destroying Darkness]

[Star Soul: God-breaking]

[Strength: 60 million]

[Source: 6]

[Description: The illusion within dreams, the ultimate ideal, wings soaring at the moment of descent, the remaining edge on the longsword. She was born from humanity’s most noble ideals, died from humanity’s vilest desires.]

——

[Destroying Darkness]:

1. Destroys darkness, the soul field possesses the power of destroying darkness, any dark soul within the vision of spirit will be oppressed and gradually destroyed, influenced by the soul strength of both sides, and no longer consumes spiritual energy.

2. Kills any being with a spirit, plundering their more complete soul in a "destroying" way; if the soul cannot withstand it, it will be annihilated, turning into a soul without spirit.

3. The extent of the Dark Devourer’s contamination greatly increases.

[God-breaking]:

Grasping [God-breaking Strike], capable of breaking divine defense.

——

Rod was stunned by the huge amount of information and took quite a while to digest.

He first noticed that after activating the star soul, the strength of the [Dark Devourer] had increased by another 30 million, reaching an unprecedented 60 million!

The star energy of the [Dark Devourer] had also transformed, becoming the more powerful [Destroying Darkness].

Undoubtedly, this was the complete version of the Dark Devourer’s abilities!

Most importantly, it had activated a new ability, [Star Soul: God-breaking]

It could break divine defense!

Although Rod didn’t yet know what divine defense was, just from the description, one could feel its power!

So that’s it!

This was the real [Dark Devourer]!

The one I had before was pure rubbish! Made me struggle in the sewers for so long!

Luckily, it’s all over now!

From now on, I have officially stepped into the realm of true strength!

The time to purify this world has come!

Hahahahaha!

Amidst the wild laughter, Rod took one last look at the dark red fire ring and the dark eyes within, then exited the star’s interior and returned to the dreamscape.

When he opened his eyes once more, a powerful aura erupted from his body, sweeping across the dreamscape like a storm.

The Book of Knowledge shouted wildly: "Congratulations, Master, for returning to the realm of human powerhouses! The moment of ascension awaits the passage of time!"

The puppet knelt on both knees and similarly shouted: "Congratulations, Master, on your return!"

In the distance, Asa was so shocked that he couldn’t move.

An unprecedented powerful spiritual energy roared and echoed within Rod’s soul, and at this moment, it seemed like nothing could stop him.

But surprisingly, there was no wild laughter from Rod, only a piece of calm within his heart.

He cast a glance at the Book of Knowledge and the puppet and said, "I’m going down, there’s still battle waiting for me."

A strong momentum arose naturally, rendering the Book of Knowledge speechless for a moment, just watching its master’s figure gradually fade away.

In the Divine Tower, Rod opened his eyes.
