CHAPTER 1184: CHAPTER 604: THE FINAL SOUL ASCENSION

"That’s right!"

The Book of Knowledge jumped up: "Master, you must ensure that the news of the Dream Realm’s existence doesn’t leak out, not even the slightest clue. We’re declaring war on the Dark World, which is strategically disdainful, but we shouldn’t deliberately provoke the Black Fog’s source feedback."

It continued to ramble, but Rod basically let it go in one ear and out the other, with his eyes only fixed on the new numbers on the Obelisk:

Soul Strength: 1,011.7 million

Soul Star: 15

Humanity: 9.15 million

Divinity: 179

Soul Without Spirit: 15.5 billion

Inside the Monument: 3 portions of Source

Soul Altar: None

Spirituality: 1.33 million

Source Energy: 63

Storage: 9.12 million portions of Soul Residue, 4 Flowers of Humanity, 2,175 various Soul Trait Blocks, 102 portions of Nightmare Material, and more.

Special Items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Stone of Chaos, 2 portions of Colorful Dreams

Source Material: Dark Abyss, Extreme Abyss Gas, Abyssal Fragment

——

Although the Soul Strength hasn’t changed, Rod felt his combat power had already risen significantly.

He was filled with confidence for the future.

In the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, Rod’s anomaly quickly caught the King’s attention.

"Hmm? Why does young Rod’s spiritual energy no longer have an uncontrolled wildness?"

The King focused his mind and quickly discovered Rod’s soul was exquisitely pure, like white jade, like crystal, his soul body solid and majestic, with a powerful structure—clearly the soul form of an imminent King.

"Has he completed the Spiritual Energy Ascension Ceremony?"

The King was incredibly surprised.

Since taking office, he had conducted the soul furnace upgrade ceremony at least nine times, never encountering such a situation.

After several thorough confirmations, he suddenly laughed out loud.

"As expected of you, young Rod."

Whoosh!

The golden flame rolled back, flying into the Holy Fire.

The King descended from the air, pointing with one hand.

The spiritual crystal in the bald-headed manager’s hand quickly calmed down, as if it had never been used.

The bald-headed manager exclaimed: "Your Majesty?"

The King said: "You can use it again next time."

With a flick of his wrist, nine Sun Crystals simultaneously emitted light.

Mina was drenched in sweat. The Level 14 Spiritual Energy Ascension Ceremony was too much pressure for her. If she weren’t Rod’s usual ascension target, she wouldn’t even be here.

"King, King..."

She asked, gasping for breath.

"What’s happening? What happened?"

The King said calmly: "The ceremony is over, Rod has already completed the Commander’s advancement."

Mina and the bald-headed manager exchanged looks, the latter cautiously asking: "Are you sure?"

The King said no more, issuing an indisputable order.

"Retrieve these nine Sun Crystals and allocate them to those in greater need."

"You all, conduct a detailed spiritual energy test on Rod, especially focusing on determining his Spiritual Power Level."

The bald-headed Master respectfully answered: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, the spiritual power instruments were ready. The bald-headed Master aimed a large spiritual crystal at Rod.

Mina placed Rod’s hand below in the semi-transparent solution.

Soon, the spiritual energy test began, conducted personally by the chief, ensuring no mistakes.

Soft white light flowed, with everyone staring intently at the spiritual crystal panel.

Finally, the test was completed, and new numbers appeared on the spiritual crystal panel.

Tested: Rod

Spiritual Power Level: 14

Maximum Spiritual Power Strength: 220,000 kilocels

Maximum Spiritual Power Output: 40,000 kilocels

Average Spiritual Pressure: 10,000 kilocels

Estimated Total Spiritual Power: 2,420 tracks

——

In that moment, cheers erupted, shattering the ceiling.

The usually solemn Fire Priest couldn’t help but cheer, and others didn’t need mentioning,

In the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, everyone felt incredibly uplifted, witnessing the birth of a Special Level power was no easy feat.

The King sighed: "Now, Trolian finally has fifteen Special Level powers, including myself, and two Monarch Level powers. At the top level, our strength is now different from before."

The bald-headed Master excitedly said: "Trolian is rising, humanity is about to revive! Long live the Holy Fire!"

Mina looked at Rod’s too-strong ability and grumbled: "Why is my pregnancy luck so poor? If I could bear our child, he’d surely inherit my clever brain and Rod’s unreasonable talent."

"Ugh, it’s so unfair. I’ll have to try harder next time."

Mina tossed her grayish-brown hair, and her deep front cleavage shifted shape as well.

"Find a time, and do it for three days and nights. I refuse to believe it!"

At that moment, Rod opened his eyes and met Mina’s gaze.

"Uh, Sister Mina, what are you thinking?"
