The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1847 - 837: The Moment Humanity Takes a Step Forward (2)

"An Ancient God?" Rhein’s expression froze: "What is the Dark Throne? Why was it fighting on the Godoyin Sacred Mountain and whom did it betray?"

A gurgling sound rolled through the Flesh Throne. Rod noticed that a large number of bulges suddenly emerged from the surrounding veins and intestines, rapidly gathering on the throne. The corrupt and bloated body of the Great Shepherd Leader began to swell, releasing an equally strange decaying odor.

"It is the rot of destiny." In the Dream Realm, the Book of the Future said in a deep voice: "I’ve never seen such a terrifying scent of fate."

Beside them, Rhein suddenly looked up: "The Prophetic City has been activated."

An invisible ripple began to spread. Rod vaguely saw a vast ocean spreading towards them, and that overwhelming power drowned the decaying aura of the Great Shepherd Leader.

"It is the Dark Spirit."

The Great Shepherd Leader suddenly said, his voice no longer ethereal but extremely noisy, filled with echoes from the hollow constructs of history.

Rod was jolted; wasn’t the Dark Spirit a higher-tier Ancient Evil Thought? The several rises of Trolian were all interrupted by it, and according to later research, traces of the Dark Spirit appeared more than once in Trolian’s long history.

Clearly, Trolian’s multiple destruction events had a deep connection with the Dark Spirit.

"The ancient God War began on the Godoyin Sacred Mountain."

The Great Shepherd Leader’s voice turned deeper, like the noise of a devil.

"The Dark Spirit destroyed the Source Artifact of the Ancient Gods, influencing and beguiling the Ancient Golden War God Ares, who rebelled during the God War and stabbed the Dagger of Resentment into the back of the Ancient Death God Hastar."

"The failure of the God War, the arrival of Twilight of the Gods, and the successive fall of the Ancient Gods marked the end of the first era of the Ancient Epoch."

As his voice fell, the space around them plunged into a deathly silence.

Rod could hardly believe his ears, and suddenly, he understood why the Great Shepherd Leader was cursed by destiny - his prophecy power was unimaginably strong.

The Book of the Future marveled: "With only one anchor, he could trace back to such a profound answer!"

However, it seemed that the cost of doing so was also immense, as Rod noticed that the flesh in the entire space had begun to wither somewhat.

The Great Shepherd Leader opened his eyes, looking exhausted but with a gaze full of fervor.

"Lord Rod, you are truly an incomprehensible miracle."

Rhein shouted: "Lord Rod, this information is crucial to us, we finally know how the Ancient Gods perished, and how the first era of the Ancient Epoch ended, which is of immense significance to us."

Rod was equally thrilled, the mist of history had finally been lifted slightly before him, and he eagerly asked: "Do you know the roots of the Dark Spirit? What exactly is the Godoyin Sacred Mountain? And, what are the Dark Throne and the King of Darkness?"

Rhein’s expression turned serious.

"Lord Rod, we have long prophesied the existence of the Dark Spirit, which is also greatly connected to the Supreme Will and those of utmost evil."

Rod was shocked again. In the Dream Realm, Asa opened his eyes too; besides excrement, this was the only thing that could make him open his eyes.

"Master, like the Evil Thought, the root of the Dark Spirit is the Supreme Will; it is the source of everything. Destroying it will end it all."

But Rod had another suspicion.

"Could the Supreme Will be the same as the personification of ultimate evil?"

Rhein shook his head slightly: "They are not a single entity, but based on our extensive research, both their emergence and the birth of the Black Mist are greatly related."

Rod immediately thought of the enigmatic Ancestor and the Human Demon, and he organized his words to succinctly recount the process of the Human Demon War to the Great Shepherd Leader.

The Great Shepherd Leader again fell into deep thought.

"We have long known about the existence of the Human Demon through various ancient texts and legends, but the name of the enigmatic Ancestor we’ve never heard of before. From your description, it seems possible we detected your battle."

Rhein immediately said: "I will immediately mobilize the tower’s data from that day to evaluate the strength of the enigmatic Ancestors’ Phantom."

After a brief pause, the Great Shepherd Leader continued: "The Godoyin Sacred Mountain is an unknown and distant area, rumored to be the boundary between light and dark, the dividing line between the main Material World and Unclear Chaos. Beyond the Godoyin Sacred Mountain lies the true source of the Black Mist."

"However, that area is so distant that we can never truly approach it. But in the Material World, there are several teleportation arrays related to it; these are the only keys to entering Godoyin Sacred Mountain."

Rhein added: "To date, we haven’t found any teleportation arrays. The latter half of the legend can only be considered as a reference."

"As for the King of Darkness, it is an unspeakable horror, the initial coagulation of the Black Mist, the true source of the Black Mist’s will, and the supreme power controlling all the rules of the Black Mist. The Great Shepherd Leader only knows of its existence through prophecy, and everything about it is just speculation."

The Great Shepherd Leader said: "Another possibility is that the King of Darkness is merely a concept, a feedback of the general Black Mist will in prophecies."

"These countless mysteries are the driving force for us to seek ancient secrets and explore the truth of history, and your information has given us immense help."

His tone became serious.

"Lord Rod, even though I have elevated your existence’s value limitlessly, I still underestimated it. You are our hope, the light of salvation for humanity."

"I will expedite the recall of Solos, and Saint Longde will concentrate strength to propel your ascension, and I will use the Prophetic City to find your key."

"In the long silence, the Fire Saint Emperor will have a brief return. I will report all your matters to the Fire Saint Emperor, who will provide you with the greatest help."

"I hope you can quickly enter the Primordial, then you can join Yanuo’s expedition team, and there will no longer be barriers between kingdoms, and humanity’s rise will enter the countdown."

At that moment, Rod was also filled with excitement, eagerly wanting to reveal all the secrets he knew, but the Great Shepherd Leader once again fell into torment.

"My mind is starting to lose control, Rhein, for now, handle everything related to Rod and Trolian, I’m going back into silence."

"When I awaken, it will also be the moment humans advance forward."

After speaking, the Great Shepherd Leader fell silent, and Seniel’s Gate reopened.

Rod knew it was time to leave. He took a deep look at the Great Shepherd Leader and walked out decisively.

——

——

In the ensuing days, things calmed down a bit.

Rod opened the Teleportation Gate punctually every day.

And with preparation time, Saint Longde continuously sent all sorts of scarce materials to Trolian.

The warriors assisting Trolian in defense were exchanged daily.

Qingyu excitedly told Rod that Trolian had recovered most of its territories; Great Dragon City, Wind City, and Sword Fortress were all recaptured.

However, they did not expand further; the pressure of the Black Tide remained substantial, so further expansion was unnecessary.

With the aid of Saint Longde, all material problems in Trolian were resolved, and the improvement in personnel and combat strength finally got back on track.

A more complete, stronger system is being established.

It is believed that before long, Trolian will be able to easily defend its territories without Saint Longde’s assistance.

Rod was delighted with this; the adventure to Saint Longde was more than worthwhile.

The Golden Light flickering in Star Square was nearly overflowing.

It is believed that once this series of events concludes, he will gain an unprecedentedly massive divinity.

Of course, during these few days, Rod was not idle, merely acting as an opener of the Teleportation Gate.
