However, in the midst of it, he still caught a fleeting spark.
He noticed slightly that with the death of the Flesh Puppets, the descent speed of the God of Contaminated Blood had increased slightly.
This increase was extrely tiny, almost imperceptible, but Rod noticed it nonetheless.
He sharply sensed a possibility, so he went to the Soul Altar and listened to the voices of the Flesh Puppet souls.
In that instant, countless chaotic noises, unbearable sounds of glass scraping, sharp or insane whispers, all ca rushing towards him, putting Rod under imnse ntal strain in a flash.
If he couldn’t withstand it, he would go mad from the insanity—such was the consequence of listening to the Dark Souls.
But Rod endured, not only did he endure, he could calm his mind to distinguish these sounds and listen to every detail.
Indeed, within the endless chaotic noise, Rod heard an exceedingly hoarse and low voice.
"Master of Flesh and Blood
Catastrophe of Calamity
Source of Life and Fall
Unmatchable Authority
Blood God Akaklius, please descend! Avenge your servant!"
The voice was chaotic and dim, filled with illusion and frenzy, every note layered together, forming an indistinct eerie sound.
Yet Rod recognized it imdiately.
This was Dream Language, but humans called it the "Divine Language"!
Rod’s gaze shifted instantly to the Book of Knowledge:
"Book, what does this an? Aren’t Flesh Puppets monsters? Why would their souls pray?"
The Book of Knowledge shouted, "This is a Descent Ceremony! Though the Ancient God had been corrupted, it still holds divine authority. From the mont the Flesh Puppet was created, its soul was inscribed with the Descent Ceremony. If killed, it triggers the Vengeance Descent Ceremony, accelerating the Ancient God’s descent!"
At that mont, Rod felt a burst of clarity rushing from the top of his head, dispelling all the mist in his thoughts and shattering all his doubts.
It turned out that the Great Prophet had been telling them to flee this area quickly, to stay away from the monsters, and not to kill too many of them.
But at that ti, they didn’t know this. Since they entered the great canyon in the Shattered Mountains, the number of Flesh Puppets they killed began to soar.
That day, they killed more Flesh Puppets than all the past combined.
That’s why the Blood God would descend prematurely.
But now, knowing the truth is already too late.
The descent of the God of Contaminated Blood was imminent, and yet they had to keep fighting the Flesh Puppets, killing even more.
Asa trembled and shouted, "Run quickly, Master, even if they die, you must not! As long as you return to Trolian, you still have a chance!"
The Book of Knowledge was also extrely hesitant, not knowing how much negative impact this decision would bring them, but staying here any longer was aningless. The last Colorful Dream had already been used, and they couldn’t delay the Blood God’s descent any further.
"Master... shall we..."
Rod interrupted it, "There is a way."
The Book of Knowledge hurriedly said, "There’s no way! Now we can’t possibly be a match for the Ancient God, and though the loss this ti is huge, as long as you are alive, and the dream realm remains, we still have a chance..."
Rod repeated, "There is a way."
The Book of Knowledge stared at him in astonishnt, feeling for the first ti the unfathomable nature of its master, unable to comprehend.
"Wha- what way?"
Rod’s gaze turned to the House of God.
"I rember, I can also summon monsters. If the Flesh Puppet becos my creation, can I not let it reverse-summon the Ancient God, perform the Soul Sending Ceremony, and let Him remain in the Void?"
The Book of Knowledge froze.
In the Dream Realm, there indeed were two creations, [Soul Ashes] and [High-Rank Soul Ashes], which allowed the summoning of monsters as long as the ashes and souls were available.
The summoning process is actually a soul reshaping process.
The new monster, influenced by the Dream Realm, can be limitedly controlled by Rod.
Theoretically, Rod’s idea was feasible. Flesh Puppets were inherently creations of the Blood God, and once influenced by the Dream Realm’s summoning, they would have the identities of both Dream Creation and Blood God’s Creation, making their prayers to the Blood God still effective.
Thus, as long as reverse invocation changed the Descent Ceremony into a Soul Sending Ceremony, it could reverse the descent effect, preventing the Blood God’s descent.
But the problem is, [Soul Ashes] cannot create powerful monsters, and while [High-Rank Soul Ashes] have a high enough position to work on most monsters, it requires 10 Flowers of Humanity and 10 points of Divinity.
This was why Rod rarely used them.
The foreseeable issue was that without enough Flesh Puppets, the delay in the Blood God’s descent would have no effect.
The Book of Knowledge anxiously said, "Master, even the weakest Flesh Puppet has 14 levels of Spiritual Energy, is a Strong Level Super Rank Fourth Tier monster, and [Soul Ashes] has too low a specification to create, whereas [High-Rank Soul Ashes] is too costly, we can’t afford them!"
Rod, however, smiled, "Did you forget about the Flesh Puppet embryos?"
The Book of Knowledge was montarily taken aback—the Flesh Puppet embryos only had Spiritual Energy levels of 5 to 6, which [Soul Ashes] could handle, and their weight in the God of Contaminated Blood’s creation system equaled that of the grown Flesh Puppets.
"Not just that."
Rod continued, "I can use [High-Rank Soul Ashes] to summon a Blood Demon. As the most powerful creation, its weight should be much higher than the Flesh Puppets. I can also summon so Blood Giants... As long as the soul is below King Level, [High-Rank Soul Ashes] can summon it."
The Book of Knowledge suddenly understood and laughed insanely, "Yes, yes, we now have over 100 Flowers of Humanity, creating 10 portions of [High-Rank Soul Ashes] is no problem. It can be used for any soul not enhanced by a Strong Source, even the Blood Demon, this 17th level Super Soul, is within reach, hahahaha, the mightiest creation of the Ancient God is now ours... Master, you are a genius."
Rod smiled faintly, "Of course."
He turned and went to the House of God, igniting the Stone Platform.
Unknown quantities of Flesh Puppet ashes were stored in the Dream Realm, and the Blood Demon’s ashes were with Rod as well.
For current Rod, the materials for [Soul Ashes] were endless, allowing him to manufacture as many as he wished.
He could produce 10 portions of [High-Rank Soul Ashes].
These 10 portions were crucial.
Rod first prepared the "Soul Ashes of the Blood Demon," then the "Soul Ashes of the Blood Giant."
Unfortunately, those King Souls were too powerful to manufacture; otherwise, Rod could have added much more might.
Upon completing [High-Rank Soul Ashes], he moved on to the massive batch of [Flesh Puppet Embryo’s Soul Ashes].
This task was left to the Book of Knowledge—it adjusted the Stone Platform to manual mode and was frantically producing them in batches.
Rod’s train of thought shifted, and his consciousness returned to his body.
Upon opening his eyes, the situation before him was dire, with the atmosphere filled with the Blood God’s presence and monsters becoming incredibly frenzied. Mod was bleeding from the mouth and nose, struggling to hold on, while Takxis remained unable to defeat Gauss.
The situation had reached its worst point.
Without further hesitation, Rod waved his hands, scattering the "Soul Ashes of the Blood Demon" into the air.
The next instant, a colossal phantom erged in the air, with mist descending from the sky to the deep sea, and in the astonished gazes of Mod and Takxis, the Blood Demon they had slain appeared once more.
But this ti, the Blood Demon did not attack them; instead, it turned around, and countless giant hands extended from the lumps on its body, slamming down upon the creations of the sa God of Contaminated Blood.
Boom!
The earth trembled, and the violent sea of Spiritual Energy surged with giant waves. Blinding lightning fell from the black fog’s clouds, striking the ground and instantly killing nurous Flesh Puppet embryos.
The Vengeance Descent Ceremony was triggered once again.
However, this ti, the descent ceremony targeted the Blood Demon, also a creation of the God of Contaminated Blood.
In the air, the pervasive aura of the Blood God appeared stalled for the first ti.
