CHAPTER 921: CHAPTER 490: STARRY SKY CITY AND THE KING OF THE SEWERS (DOUBLE CHAPTER) (PART 2)

Rod was astonished: "Became the Fire Son in just a year and a half?"

"No, to be precise, it’s half a year." Chucher corrected: "She only took half a year for her spiritual power level to soar from the First Level to the Fourteenth Level. Her characteristic ’Thunder Power’ directly underwent quantification. Do you know how we felt at that time?"

He turned his head towards Gale, who had been silent, maintaining a cool and aloof stance. Until Chucher asked, he did not speak.

"Shocked, incredulous, unable to accept, thoughts in turmoil. Perhaps the Savior has descended."

Chucher laughed: "Yes, that’s pretty much the state we were in. She became the Fire Son at the fastest speed, something that has never happened in the over one thousand years of Trolian’s history."

"We thought she would quickly become a super strong person capable of facing the real darkness, but unfortunately, her soul couldn’t adapt to such powerful spiritual energy and soon fell into slumber."

Rod frowned and said: "Wasn’t her spiritual energy advancement ceremony completed?"

Chucher shook his head: "No, her spiritual energy ceremony was flawless. There were no issues with her soul. It was just that the spiritual energy increased so fast that the strength of her soul couldn’t keep up. Such powerful spiritual energy strength would quickly deplete her spiritual energy, and her mind couldn’t bear the Fourteenth Level of spiritual energy strength. Therefore, she often falls into slumber and has to stay in special environments for years, only using a special avatar to fight when necessary."

Only then did Rod understand why in the Battle of Starry Sky City, she was always surrounded by lightning and never spoke.

"However."

Chucher looked at Rod and smiled again.

"Brother Rod, although your growth hasn’t been as fast as hers, the Royal City holds expectations of you no less than hers. They even reserved the Ashen Throne for you just when you became a Guardian, which is truly unique."

Gale crossed his arms and said seriously and coolly: "After super geniuses like Misha and Alan, here you are, a person beyond conventional understanding. Plus, talents like Tai Luo and Jessica, who are rare in a century. Many in the Royal City believe this is a sign that the era of fire is about to resurge, and Luo Weiya’s rebound theory is widely recognized. Everyone thinks the time for human resurgence is coming."

"Exactly!"

Chucher raised both hands and laughed wildly.

"I think so too. Humans rise against the trend, emerge in desperate situations, and revive amidst ruin. We shall break through this endless Black Fog, this terrifying Dark World!"

Amidst the hearty laughter, Rod said nothing and silently walked into the sewer.

For some reason, he always felt uneasy. The words of the Starry Queen and the Main Star Priest constantly echoed in his mind.

It seemed that not everything was as smooth as they thought, but he couldn’t say why.

After returning to the familiar environment, Rod’s heart gradually calmed down, and a sense of confidence emerged spontaneously.

He led the way deeper, once again starting the grand cleaning action of the sewer.

Although the sewers in Starry Sky City are not as large as those in Trolian Royal City, they are more complex, and due to some areas collapsing, the routes have become even more intricate.

But in front of Rod, all this was not a problem.

With an absolute understanding of the sewer, he smoothly cleared every branch line, resolved the postal issues with a perfect path, never got lost, and never repeated in the tangled sewers.

The monsters in the Starry Sky City sewer are mainly Corpse Demons and Demonic Ghosts, generally in the Middle Rank and High Rank strong levels.

After Rod’s spiritual energy reached the Twelth Level, monsters of this level were no longer his match and could be killed in seconds.

The Twelth Level’s Great Star Shuttle could basically solve them in one shot.

Even if by chance they survived, it would just be a matter of delivering another blow.

Only very few monsters were of the Super Rank strong level, but typically they didn’t exceed the second rank, posing little threat to Rod, and could be killed without much effort.

More importantly, Rod’s Eye of the Soul not only sees far but can also pierce walls, leaving monsters no place to hide. They couldn’t ambush us and were always ambushed instead.

Because of these reasons, combined with his familiarity with the sewer, Rod could roam freely here.

Chucher and Gale were completely dizzy, so instead of worrying about the routes, they focused on battling.

Most individual monsters were slain by Rod in one hit, and only when encountering a group of monsters did they have a chance to act.

Chucher wielded a hammer and axe, activating the Heavenly Power as he charged into the monster group, killing indiscriminately.

He was immensely strong, thick-skinned, and the blue Heavenly God Spiritual Power endowed him with great power, defense, and resistance. The monsters couldn’t even scratch him, and with a twirl of the hammer and axe, it was like a meat grinder, shredding the monsters to bits.

Nothing could stop him as he rampaged through the monster group like a tiger among sheep.

On the other hand, Gale became invisible, and one could only see the blue sword light flashing through the space.

With each flash, a monster would be cut in half.

These two were old comrades-in-arms, and their coordination was flawless. Combined with Rod’s powerful output, the monsters in the sewer vanished into thin air amidst their laughter.

In just two to three hours, the entire sewer was completely clear, with no hidden dangers left.
