CHAPTER 790: CHAPTER 440 DREAM REALM, STAR, DIVINITY (FIRST UPDATE)_2

"If I were to describe it, the world is an island floating in the infinite Spirit Realm, yet this island itself is infinite, and so is the Spirit Realm. The material space is an unfathomable miracle, and how the even more primordial Spirit Realm space evolved into such material space is a mystery all divine beings yearn to understand."

Rod was silent for a long time, realizing that he couldn’t deduce the nature of this world using his previous conventional understanding; its birth and formation defied all common explanations.

"Book, I have a question. In the ocean of the Spirit Realm, are there other islands like ours?"

The handwriting of the Book of Knowledge became extremely slow but still resolutely wrote.

"No."

"Why?"

With a pop, the Book of Knowledge collapsed onto the ground like a broken puppet, every corner spread open, revealing its powerlessness.

"Master, these questions are too draining for me, I can’t take it anymore."

Rod felt a tinge of regret, knowing that the Book of Knowledge had to pay a price and endure consumption to acquire knowledge. This cost was reduced as the soul of the book became more complete. Now, the soul of the Book of Knowledge was much more complete than before; previously, asking these questions would have required it to consume resources equivalent to a houseful of rare materials.

Now, it could recover gradually with just a normal meal.

"Sorry, my damn thirst for knowledge suddenly acted up, maybe that’s why I am so outstanding."

The Book of Knowledge moved slightly, seemingly wanting to boast recklessly, but thinking better of it and swallowing the words before they could be spoken.

"Master, we are about to ignite the eleventh star."

Rod instantly got excited. After receiving the bounty of fate, he now had 4.3 billion Soul Without Spirit and 15 pieces of Soul Firewood. With such a vast amount of resources, he was able to ignite any star below the Great Star.

However, he only had 8 pieces of Source, which limited his choices.

The Book of Knowledge slowly flipped through its pages, and after a moment, wrote excitedly, "Yes, this star is the most suitable. It will fill the gaps in your current abilities."

"Igniting it requires 800 million souls, 8 pieces of Source, and 8 pieces of Soul Firewood."

Rod didn’t hesitate, picking up 8 pieces of Soul Firewood from the base and touching his forehead to the surface of the Obelisk.

The space flipped, and once again, he found himself on the Soul Wilderness.

The Book of Knowledge directed his path, leading him to fly over countless dying embers. In this quiet and dark land, only a few faint fires were burning.

Soon, Rod landed on a stretch of ground where the dying embers were sparse.

In front of him was a pile of pure white ashes, slightly taller than himself, with two white characters emerging from the ashes.

[Blank]

This name is really strange, who knows what use it has.

But Rod trusted the Book of Knowledge deeply. When it came to choosing stars, it had never made a mistake.

He spread his hands and placed the 8 pieces of Soul Firewood into the ashes. With a thought, 8 invisible pieces of Source and 800 million Soul Without Spirit fell from the sky.

Boom!

Pale flames rose from the ashes, burning strongly and forcefully in the air.

A line of white writing appeared from within the flames.

[Blank]

[State: Constant Burning]

[Star Energy: Time of Void]

[Inject: None]

[Fire: None]

[Quantification: Source of Void]

[Position: Eternal Fire]

[Strength: 180000]

[Description: I held high the torch in the polar night and walked into the birch forest where she had gone.]

—

[Time of Void]: This is the domain of emptiness, fill your soul with void, allowing your current soul state to persist for a quarter of an hour. Unless it perishes, it will not undergo any change.

—

After reading this, Rod was stunned for a moment, reading it twice before he understood the meaning.

[Time of Void] could maintain his soul state at the instant it was used, and afterwards, regardless of weakness, pollution, mutation, nothing could affect him except for the end of his soul. These anomalies would only start to set in after a quarter of an hour.

A perfect match!

Rod understood in an instant!

This star was a perfect match for him.

You see, most of the strong skills he currently possessed had significant side effects, such as the soul weakness from [Giant God Power] and the soul consumption from [Bright Red Tears], which could directly cripple his combat abilities.

If he couldn’t kill the enemy with one hit, that would be terrible.

[Time of Void] perfectly compensated for this weakness. It could delay the soul weakness brought upon by using these stars until a quarter of an hour later.

Which meant that for that quarter of an hour, he would be just as normal and wouldn’t lose any fighting capabilities.

So powerful!

Rod laughed uproariously to the sky, even giving the Book of Knowledge a kiss and hugging it close.

The Book of Knowledge covered itself with its pages and ran away, "Master, what are you doing? This is not permitted..."

In his ecstatic state, Rod didn’t notice the Book’s protest and turned his gaze towards the top of the Obelisk, where the numbers had changed to:

Soul Strength: 3,302,000

Soul Stars: 11

Humanity: 21.22 million

Divinity: 2

Soul Without Spirit: 3.5 billion

Obelisk: None

Soul Altar: 2 Extremely Great Souls, 15 Great Souls, 11 Very Strong Souls

Spirituality: 32,111

Source Energy: 23

Storage: 110,000 Soul Residues, 12 Flowers of Humanity, 30 pieces of Nightmare Material, 7 pieces of Soul Firewood, etc.

Special Items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Undying Spirit, 1 Twisted Balance, 1 Light Bell

The Divinity was originally 3 points; one point was used by the puppet before, turning it into 2 points.
