Chapter 859 Source

As the light from the Star Marrow Altar spread, an extremely powerful space force began to permeate the air. It felt like an invisible spider web spreading in the air.

Rhodes was surprised to find that this source of law power had a very familiar feeling, and he soon remembered, isn't this his [Chaos Crystal Wall]?

When he uses this star, the power that tears apart space, this is what it feels like!

Rhodes looked up at the Star Marrow Altar shining with dazzling purple light, and a strange feeling came to his heart.

He suddenly understood that such a great creation could not have been made by seven weak gods. Its birth must have something to do with the "Lord" they called it.

So, is the Star Marrow Altar the creation of the previous Dream Lord?

For what purpose did he create such an altar with a powerful barrier? Is it to shield the black fog and create an eternal refuge, or is it, as the God of Giants said, a permanent demiplane, like an ark, carrying the last humans to float into the endless void in order to survive?

Amidst the ups and downs of his thoughts, Rhodes stretched out his hand and touched the altar lightly.

In just an instant, his spirit was connected to the altar, and an unprecedentedly powerful barrier rose from the altar. It was invisible and lightless, but like a gap in space, it separated the other half of the world from his perception.

With a thought, Rhode pulled the barrier and formed a circle around it.

As a result, a separate world was born. Rhodes looked around in surprise. In his sight, nothing had changed. The world was still the same world, but in his perception, outside this space, there was an endless expanse. Void.

There are no diffuse ripples, no psychic disturbance, and no feedback of any breath or existence.

He opened the eyes of his soul and was shocked to find that everything outside the barrier turned into a black abyss. Ling's sight was completely cut off by this barrier.

"Owner!"

the Book of Knowledge shouted excitedly.

"This barrier is too strong. I know it. It can definitely isolate the influence of the black mist and the sight of the dark spirit. It is precisely because of this that it can ensure the success of Sheng Lund's final plan!"

With a thought, Rhodes closed the Star Marrow Altar, summoned a dream ritual, and put the entire Star Marrow Altar into the dream, then opened the portal and returned to Saint Ronde.

At this time, the Royal City of Saint Longde had become extremely empty. Except for the original powerhouses, the personnel of the Prophecy City, and a very small number of people who needed to stay here, everyone else had moved to Trorian.

The streets illuminated by the holy fire were deserted. The once prosperous royal city was now almost an empty city.

Outside the royal city, darkness has enveloped the land. The entire Saint Lund Kingdom has been submerged in black mist, and all the guardian fires have been taken away or returned to the holy fire.

The only light is the royal city.

It stands in the boundless darkness like the shining lighthouse that never goes out, standing in the tide of black mist.

As soon as Rhodes stepped out of the portal, he looked at the extremely huge ritual array in the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

It was so huge and complicated that it exceeded the limits of Rhodes' imagination.

And Thoros was standing in the center of the magic circle, gathering all his divine power and spiritual energy to carve the last mark of the magic circle.

At that moment, the entire array became one, all spiritual inductions were connected together, and an infinite majestic energy rose into the sky, as if it was the only one that existed in the entire universe.

Thoros said calmly: "The sacrifice ceremony circle is completed, and the rest is just the addition of details."

Behind him stood the Ten Swords of Saint Lund. This was the first time Rhodes saw the Ten Swords gathered together. Rhine, Bernoulli, Romano, and a few unknown people were all here.

The Patriarch’s voice rang in the air:

"The final plan has entered the final stage, and it is expected to be completed in one day."

Rhodes hurriedly said: "The Star Marrow Altar is also ready and can be used at any time."

Ohmu

The leader's voice was slightly surprised: "Sir Rhodes, have you brought the Star Marrow Altar?"

Rhodes nodded slightly: "It's a bit big, I need an open place."

The Patriarch was silent for a few seconds and said: "Then it will be underground. As a protective ritual, it cannot be too far away from the sacred fire to avoid accidents."

The tunnel door opened, and Rhodes followed the Patriarch's guidance and soon came to a huge space under the Throne of Flesh.

It is said that this is used to store supplies.

But the great migration has begun, and all supplies have been brought to Trorian.

Saint Ronde's Ten Swords also came here. Under their gaze, Rhodes summoned the Star Marrow Altar from his dream. When the huge thing hit the ground, everyone felt the violent vibration.

"There's something wrong with the weight. This is a space where high spiritual energy is solidified. Even if a mountain range hits here, there will be no vibration."

Thoros said attentively: "There is a special space inside the Star Marrow Altar."

Rhodes nodded: "Your Majesty Thoros is right. There is a huge demiplane inside the Star Marrow Altar. This is its energy supply area. A sufficient amount of soulless souls need to be invested for the Star Marrow Altar to work properly."

Thoros frowned slightly: "Soulless soul? This kind of soul component is a very rare resource. Unless there are specific circumstances, it is generally not used. However, there are also many reserves in Saint Lund. How much does it need?"

"If it is run at full capacity, it will require an average of about 5,000 soulless soul flowers every day. After it is fully unlocked, the consumption of the Star Marrow Altar has increased significantly."

"Soulless soul flowers? Isn't that 100 million soulless souls? 5,000 soul flowers..." The Patriarch's voice was a little distorted, and he did not continue.

Rhodes smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Patriarch, I have put in 10,000 soul flowers, but I need to send a person to guard them. Soul flowers are high-purity spiritual materials and are easily corrupted. The ones inside the Star Marrow Altar Even half a plane of space cannot avoid the erosion of black mist."

At this moment, everyone was shocked by Rhodes' words.

Rhine shouted: "Sir Rhodes, how come you have so many soulless souls?"

Rhodes carefully considered his words: "This is one of my abilities. I can plunder soulless souls in battle."

"Is this all your soulless soul?"

"No, I still have 330,000 soulless flowers."

This number made everyone's expressions lose control. The Patriarch sighed: "It's incredible. The way we obtain the soulless soul is extremely troublesome and requires a high price... Unfortunately, the soulless soul does not exist. It cannot become a normal resource and cannot bring much help to the improvement of the Fire Bearer."

Rhodes was also extremely regretful. Only he could use these soul materials. It would be great if everyone could use them.

In the dream, the book of knowledge turned the pages, as if thinking about something.

At this time, the Patriarch asked again: "Your Excellency Rhodes, to what extent has First Knight Alan recovered?"

Rhodes replied: "Very good. He didn't use too many resources. He just rested next to the holy fire for a while, and his soul became very full. He is expected to fully recover soon."

Rhine sighed: "It's unbelievable. Are the lives of human beings who grow up through fighting so terrible?"

Soros muttered: "His strength may come at a price. If my guess is correct, it may be the same as you, Rhine."

Everyone's expressions darkened. Although Rhine possessed 2 fundamental sources, that is, 50 fundamental sources, and his combat power exceeded that of most of the original powerhouses, the price was that he would never be able to enter the original source.

This has something to do with [Yuan Zai], but his human life is for him to become [Yuan Zai].

Rhine was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed:

"He is much stronger than me. I only have 2 fire seeds, but he already has 12 fire seeds. Moreover, he has 19 other fire seeds. Each one is not weak. The total number of fire seeds is likely to exceed 500 copies, ten times as much as mine, so

Even if he, like me, cannot be promoted to Yuanchu, his combat power may exceed that of the Yuanchu strongmen in the second or even third stage. "

Rhodes didn't say anything. He knew that Alan would not be unable to be promoted. As long as Asa seized the evil thoughts space and cracked the evil thoughts stone tablet, it would be possible to figure out the source of human life. By then, perhaps he would be able to find some way to be promoted. ?

The same goes for Rhine.

Soros sighed softly: "But that's all, it's a pity..." He paused and turned to look at Rhodes.

"Sir Rhodes, as for Trolian, besides the first knight Alan, who else can join the battle?"

Rhodes shook his head slightly: "No, except for Alan, no one has reached the peak of half-king. Olivia and Princess Dark Moon have just controlled the 20th root source. Tyro only has 21st. Rovia and Misha has 18 parts, Pebela, Red Queen and Jelaba all have 15 parts, and Aleihan has 12 parts.”

"As for Churchill, Gale, Sauron, Feixue, Night Breeze, Rigel, Vito, Silver Cat, Feiyan, Lasso, etc., they are generally around 10 to 12 points."

Rhodes was actually a little disappointed when he learned about Trolian's situation.

With such huge assistance, their growth was slightly lower than expected. None of them burst out with unlimited potential and instantly reached the peak of half-king - this is also the minimum requirement to enter the Saint Lund battlefield.

Of course, this may be because their expectations were too high.

After all, the time is so short. From a conventional perspective, their promotion efficiency is already very shocking.

But among so many former geniuses, none of them broke out, and few even entered the fourth stage of semi-king. This really made Rhodes feel a little depressed.

"My black war group, Mavis, only has about 10 roots. Annabeth, Cassian, and Frank have all just stepped into the half-king. Theresa, this guy, has resonated with a new law of origin, which seems a bit... It’s awesome, but it should be far from this threshold.”

"The spirit girl group's stamina is also far from enough. Jessica, Undine, and Evelyn only have 10 copies of the root source, and Phyllis and others only have 9 copies."

"Jon is a bit more confident. He already has 15 copies of the Root, Starsong also has 12 copies, Evra also has 11 copies, and that holy sword Vehel is simply stupid, and he only has 1 copy."

Rhine frowned and said: "Sir Rhodes, I want to make it clear that the Holy Sword Weihele is a human being who relies on the source device. It cannot resonate further, and his power will never grow... As for their growth, it is not as expected. , in fact, it is mainly due to the lack of deified source matter. Trorian’s luck is too little, and without the support of deified source matter, it will be used up quickly.”

Dragon-slayer hunter Romano asked in a deep voice: "No one in Trolian has extraordinary potential. Just like Rhodes and Alan, can they grow without luck and carrying?"

Rhine's frown deepened: "How can such a thing happen? Special cases like theirs are extremely rare. How can there be so many of them?"

Soros nodded: "Actually, it's not that they don't need to carry. It's just that their carrying is another situation that we haven't understood yet."

Rhodes sighed slightly. Soros was right, but only he knew the deeper reason, which was that they had not yet fully understood their human existence and did not know how to unleash their full potential.

At this time, Soros said again: "If this is the case, then things will be simpler."

He paused and said carefully.

"The final plan will be carried out by Lord Rhodes, assisted by Lord Rhine and Lord Alan."

Rhodes frowned: "What about you?"

Thoros said calmly: "We will complete the sacrifice."

Rhodes had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What's the meaning?"

Thoros said lightly: "A complete sacrifice will take away the power of all the original strong men in Shenglongde, at the expense of which they will commemorate the birth of the true king."

At this moment, Rhodes felt a huge wave of panic. The complete sacrifice mentioned by King Arno actually meant this. No wonder Thoros rushed back to Shenglong in such a hurry.

Virtue.

No wonder, the King of Arno only has 20 copies of the Law of the Origin, and the Holy Emperor of Fire only has 18 copies of the Law of the Origin, but they can be directly promoted to the True King.

It turns out that the final plan is to pay such a huge price.

"Then, was it the same in Arnus?" Rhodes' voice became hoarse unknowingly.

Thoros shook his head slightly: "The sacrifice performed by King Arno should be an incomplete sacrifice. All the original strong men only sacrificed the regenerable divine power. With Arno's power, they can do this. We The original plan was that after Arno completed the final plan, Arno’s strong men would come to Saint Lund to help the Holy Emperor of Fire complete the final plan.”

"In fact, this was the final plan we initially considered. Complete sacrifice was considered to be used in desperate situations and was unnecessary."

"certainly."

Soros's voice became extremely heavy.

"You see, this won't work."

Rhodes' heart sank. He finally understood why there was no trace of the original strongman in Arno. They should have been completely destroyed when the king of Arno fell.

The loss is simply incalculable.

In the dream, the Book of Knowledge let out a long sigh: "What a pity, it would have been nice if the King of Arno had performed a complete sacrifice from the beginning."

Rhodes didn't say anything. After what happened, everyone was a prophet and sage, but before what happened, who could make this decision?

There are so many top strong men in Arno, such as Girod the Destroyer of Life, and Barro the Light of the Morning, who sacrifice themselves as soon as they say they will. Who can have such courage? If the price is such, even if a true king is born, is it worth it?

Even among Saint Lund, there were not so many powerful people from the beginning, and only Thoros was the top one. Rhodes felt extremely heartbroken.

Not to mention Arnold.

But whether it is Soros, Romano, Bernoulli or others, there is no regret or fear on their faces, only that strange calmness.

"Sir Rhodes."

Soros said, there was a faint expectation in his eyes.

Not just him, everyone here sees it.

"I know, you may think that the price is too high. No matter how powerful the True King is, he is still a human being. He cannot leave the Holy Fire, step into Godouin Mountain, destroy the dark forbidden place, and completely eliminate the black mist."

"But the significance of the birth of a true king transcends everything. It is the long-cherished wish of mankind for thousands of years, the power we constantly pursue, and the spirit of resistance that we have never stopped in such a desperate environment."

"He can fight against the real darkness and the invasion of black mist."

"Although we have lost our power, as long as human civilization exists, there will be a steady stream of successors. One day, a second true king or even a third true king will be born among them."

"And in the legend, if three true kings come to the world, humans will have the power to completely destroy the black mist."

Rhodes was surprised to find that everyone had tears in their eyes before they knew it.

Soros looked at Rhodes, his eyes shining with extremely bright light:

"Even if the authenticity of the legend cannot be verified, and the distortion of the black mist makes all rumors unbelievable, the true king will lead us to revival, and mankind will eventually regain its former glory and stand tall between heaven and earth."

"In comparison, what does our sacrifice mean?"

At this time, the Patriarch's voice also sounded in the air.

"Based on my research and observations during this period, the fallen King of Arno is very likely to be the true source of Eternal Night."

Rhodes frowned and said, "How is this possible?"

The Patriarch explained: "We collected enough information from the survivors of Arno. After I pruned and pieced it together, I suddenly discovered something. It was probably after the fall of the King of Arno that Yong Ye The reason for the rising intensity of the black mist is because of the Ring of Darkness, which releases endless black mist and destroys some extremely terrifying beings.

Summoned. "

"Although Lord Rhodes destroyed the Ring of Darkness, the source of terror has not disappeared. It is only because King Arno still has consciousness that the catastrophe has not yet come."

"So, if my speculation is correct, the real source of this extinction crisis is the fallen King of Arno. The catastrophe that all our prophecies point to is the fall of King Arno."

Rhodes' heart was shaken, and his intuition found it hard to believe, but the words of the Patriarch made him believe it unconsciously.

Could it be that everything they saw was caused by the fall of King Arno?

However, what if the King of Arno is not promoted and does not choose to carry out the final plan? Will history change? Will the prophecy change?

This is an unexplainable proposition.

In the dream, the Book of Knowledge also fell into deep thought: "Well, maybe it is possible, but..."

It suddenly remembered something, flapped the pages of the book and said.

"Master, I think there is some reason for this. I remember clearly that after you arrived in Arno, the situation suddenly deteriorated, as if some kind of power was stimulated."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Is it the spirit of darkness?"

The fall of King Arno has a great relationship with it. It may even have been in the body of King Arno, competing for the soul with the remaining consciousness of King Arno. His arrival touched the spirit of darkness, which made it possible. It speeds up erosion.

Then, the real source pointed to by the prophecy is actually the spirit of darkness!

The moment this idea emerged, Rhodes' thoughts suddenly became clear.

Yes, that must be the case!

It seemed that the dark spirit was far more powerful than they imagined.

There is even a dark spirit lurking in the soul of the fallen King Arno.

Rhodes clenched his fists.

Then, as long as he is defeated, the eternal night can be ended and this catastrophe can be ended.

Humanity will also usher in a new round of great improvement.

And he will also gain countless divinities.

To save three human civilizations, even if I am not the only one to take credit, at least I have made great efforts. One million is not too much, right?

Then I will retrieve the fragments of the dream, find the ashes of the building, and collect all the ashes of the stars.

A star can have up to 25 copies of the fundamental source, which can condense 1 copy of the Law of the Origin. 25 stars can have 25 copies of the Law of the Origin.

If all goes well, he will soon be at the peak of his powers.

It is not far away to become a true king and surpass all the dream masters in the past.

——

Although the future route has been planned, Rhodes is very clear that imagination is always beautiful, reality is always cruel, and he still has a long way to go before he wants to reach that point.

The most important thing right now is to kill the Dark Spirit and the fallen Lord of Arno.

After emerging from the underground space, Soros and others began final preparations. There was still one day left before the final plan began.

And this day is Rhode's last time. He needs to increase his and the dream's power as much as possible.

Rhodes returned to the dreamland and began to organize his inventory. Soon, he discovered an item that he had forgotten.

【Heart of Destruction】

This is a special creation of "The Nest of Destruction". It requires 1,000 soulless soul flowers and 1 eternal dream. Because it has no clear function, he has never made it.

"Well, let's make it first."

For the current Rhodes, consuming 1,000 Soulless Soul Flowers and 1 Eternal Dream does not have much impact.

Soon, this heart shining with bright yellow light appeared in his palm.

Rhodes frowned slightly: "This feeling seems to be some kind of powerful source material."

The Book of Knowledge turned over the pages and muttered: "I vaguely remember its function, but I can't recall the specific content."

Rhodes suddenly remembered something

thing.

"Shu, I remember we stayed in the Nest of Destruction for a long time, right?"

The Book of Knowledge replied: "Yes, Master, we must leave immediately, otherwise the disturbance will be too great."

"What's the next area?"

"If nothing else, it's the [Long Tower]."

Rhodes frowned slightly. He vaguely remembered that the dream had passed [Abyss of Darkness] [River of Eternal Death] [City of Disorder] [Land of Light] [Sea of ​​Chaos] [Shadow Evil World] [Demon Wilderness] [Disaster City of Time] [Ice Prison] and [Lair of Destruction].

This is the eleventh area of ​​the upper spiritual world.

"If I remember correctly, there are only twelve areas in the high-level spiritual world."

"Yes, Master, we only have [Long Tower] and [Fortress of Dead Souls] left to go. If we have gone there, we will start a new reincarnation. At that time, Dreamland will face real challenges."

Rhodes turned to look at the obelisk. The blood red on the omen's face was still flashing, but for some reason, the invasion had not come for a long time.

"Shu, why hasn't the dream invasion come so long?"

The Book of Knowledge replied sadly: "This is a very bad thing. It shows that there is some kind of more powerful force that is searching for the existence of dreams from a higher level. Once the invasion begins, we will face terrifying challenges." "

"Master, from now on, we must hoard more eternal dreams. If we face an invincible enemy like the Supreme Demon Lord, we can use the eternal dreams to temporarily force them back from the dream."

A sense of urgency arose in Rhodes' heart, and he unconsciously turned his gaze to look at the Soul Altar.

There are still many souls in the altar. The powerful beings he killed previously allowed him to obtain a huge amount of source law and nightmare fuel. Apart from divinity, he now has no shortage of other things.

Rhodes frowned slightly, and he saw those souls that had been in the altar for a long time, including the [Part of the Soul of the Giant Ancestor Ehaeus] obtained a long time ago, and the [Ice Prison] obtained in [Ice Prison]. The incomprehensible spirit of chaos].

The reason these souls have been able to exist for so long is because their soul descriptions are taboo and cannot be revealed.

But.

Rhodes' brows furrowed even deeper.

Now that dreams are far more powerful than before, the word "taboo" is still in the description of their souls.

"What's going on, books? To what extent can we see the contents of their souls?"

The Book of Knowledge muttered: "Master, I already feel that the [taboo] is on the verge of loosening. Perhaps, if the dreamland obtains another fragment, if the master is stronger, he will be able to see the fragment."

Rhodes glanced at the obelisk. Due to the previous re-condensation of the Law of Origin, his divinity was now in single digits. Without divinity, any improvement on his part would be impossible.

The only thing left is to retrieve the dream fragments.

But that dream fragment is still in Godouin Mountain.

Rhodes looked at the bookshelf sadly, but Asa hadn't woken up yet.

However, the Book of Knowledge soon discovered something strange: "This guy seems to be sleeping restlessly. Look, it is moving. It seems to be uncomfortable, as if it is indigestion."

Rhodes was slightly startled, but he couldn't care too much, and immediately rushed forward, took out Asa, and shook it vigorously.

"Wake up, wake up! Asa, wake up!"

"Ah...Master."

Living up to expectations, Asa slowly opened the page of the book and let out a huge yawn: "I'm so sleepy, I haven't slept enough..."

After saying that, he was about to close the page, but was held open by Rhodes.

"No, don't sleep. Give me a prophecy first. Can I go directly to Godouin Mountain?"

"No, no, Master, my efficiency is very poor now...let me sleep..."

But Rhodes always put his fist in its pages, and even forced it to open.

"You can't sleep until you fulfill the prophecy."

Asa was forced to have no choice but to open the pages of the book and slowly turn the pages.

golden light in its

The page flickered slowly, and the efficiency indeed dropped a lot. Several times, it almost fell asleep, but was forcibly awakened by Rhodes.

In the end, Asa fulfilled the prophecy: "Master, the strange sound of wind chimes, the breeze formed by gray mist... For you, there is not much danger in this trip, as long as you don't stay too long."

good!

Rhodes was shocked and immediately put Asa back on the bookshelf. Almost instantly, it fell into the sweet sleep that it had been dreaming of.

And Rhodes immediately left the dreamland, directly set up the spirit boat, and flew towards the coordinates previously displayed by the "Celestial Sphere Clock".

There are still 5 blessing lamps left, which are enough for him to use.

Rhodes exploded with all his strength, and 50 seconds of divine power poured into the [Spirit Boat] crazily. The more powerful power caused the [Spirit Boat]'s speed to skyrocket.

In just half an hour, he crossed hundreds of thousands of yards and arrived at the area indicated by the coordinates.

The last spiritual lamp went out right at his waist.

Rhodes stopped the [Spirit Boat] and suddenly discovered that this place was actually on the other side of the Dead Land Continent.

With a quick glance, he quickly found traces of the teleportation array.

With a flick of his finger, the strong wind blew away the dust on the surface, revealing a weird regular seventeen-sided pattern.

"that's it!"

shouted the Book of Knowledge.

"It is the teleportation array of Godouin Mountain. It is made of pure source matter! It can be activated with divine power!"

Rhodes did not hesitate and stepped decisively on the teleportation array. With a flash of divine power, the world was spinning in an instant!
