The golden light flooded the dream realm, endless specks falling from the boundless and distant starry sky, scattering at the tip of the Sun Tower, ultimately imrsing into the Obelisk.
This rain of golden light persisted for a full quarter of an hour before stopping.
As it dissipated, a massive golden text flashed before Rod’s eyes, alongside several red texts—
Preserve hope amidst an overturned crisis, save humanity from destined destruction, slaughter nightmares, eradicate calamities, Divinity 1850
Excessive slaughter of Ancient God species, killed the soul safeguarding the Abyss Key, causing a premature descent of the Ancient God and triggering a vile disaster, Divinity-100
Involved in factors leading to the demise of the high fire elect, Divinity-20
Confronted the void, cursed by the Ancient God, Divinity-1
Maliciously impacted civilized exchanges, Divinity-1
Polluted the environnt, Divinity-1
——
Lastly, a small golden light flashed.
Born from the operation of Source Energy, Divinity 15
As the light descended, Rod’s eyes bulged.
Divinity points!
This was the most Divinity he had ever gained at once, surpassing even the event at Starry Sky City, and when added to the Divinity earned previously at Saint Reel, it was more than twice as much as Starry Sky City.
At that mont, Rod felt like all the pent-up energy within him was released.
After waiting so long, the return of Divinity did not disappoint him. It was worth all the painstaking effort, the exhaustion of mind and body, the braving of countless dangers, and facing genuine death threats multiple tis, ultimately saving so many people.
This 1850 Divinity points were enough for him to ignite two Great Stars such as "Sin’s Touch" and "Song of Life," enough to activate the Star Souls for 18 stars, enough to fire 18 destructive "Kales’ Soul Cannons," or unleash 185 potent Spiritual Realm Strikes, or conduct 185 Spirit Tides.
The Book of Knowledge started laughing wildly, a hearty laugh it hadn’t given since being influenced by Fear Ghost Lars.
"So much, so much, a lot! Almost can’t fit anymore! Almost overflowing! Hahaha, hahahaha!"
Asa watched all this with envious eyes. He was very certain that the final step to becoming the King of Devouring Excrent would definitely require this, and he hoped one day to gain this power from his master.
Unfortunately, the Puppet and the Book of the Future remained in deep slumber due to severe damage, their soul overhead requiring long rest.
However, when Rod saw the red text below, his expression turned grim.
"Did I cause the premature descent of the Ancient God?"
Rod shouted in disbelief.
"Let alone killing Flesh Puppet, what does killing the soul guarding the Abyss Key an? When did I ever kill such a soul? There’s got to be a mistake? 100 Divinity points!"
The Book of Knowledge’s deanor suddenly beca solemn, and it said deeply, "Divinity cannot be mistaken; this is the fundantal operation chanism of the Dream Realm, everything in the Dream Realm is built upon it... Master, think carefully, are there any suspicious targets?"
Rod pondered deeply, furrowing his brows for a long ti before saying, "Could it be... the Church Court Knight Captain Gauss?"
The long-fallen Gauss, made into the core supporting the Twisted Space by Ancient Evil Thought Lars, had to be killed for them to exit the canyon.
This was an extrely arduous battle.
Gauss’s combat power was incredibly strong; Takxis couldn’t defeat him in a short ti. Rod gradually destroyed his soul through Summoning and his complete form’s ability, "Dark Devourer’s Destroying Darkness," then used "Sin’s Touch" to disrupt his Spiritual Defense, finally killing him.
And the Blood God’s descent was also halted at that ti by his Spirit Summoning, with the internal strife among the Blood God’s Creation weakening the effect of the Descent Ceremony, while the Spirit Summoning’s reverse Descent Ceremony greatly delayed its arrival.
Everything should have been a perfect ending, yet it was precisely at this ti that Lars suddenly appeared, reciting the prayer of the Descent Ceremony in person, accelerating the Blood God’s descent and ultimately leading to Takxis’s death.
The situation was urgent then; Rod hadn’t thought much of it. But now, recalling it, he noticed the irregularity imdiately.
If Lars could perform the Descent Ceremony of the God of Contaminated Blood, why didn’t he use it from the start?
If the Blood God descended a day earlier, none of them would have had a chance to leave the land of Saint Reel.
Why use it precisely when they had killed the fallen Gauss, delayed the Blood God’s descent, and the situation was looking up?
There are only two possibilities.
Either performing the Descent Ceremony cos at a great cost, and Lars was unwilling to use it until the last mont.
Or he is unable to bring forward the God of Contaminated Blood’s descent; sothing is obstructing him.
In this light, the latter seems very possible.
The Book of Knowledge and Asa both fell into contemplation; the more they thought, the more likely it seed.
"If Gauss is truly the soul guarding the Abyss Key, then I should be able to discover sothing from his soul."
The Book of Knowledge jumped onto the Soul Altar, carefully examining for a while.
"Hmm, indeed his soul is exceptional, possessing a powerful sealing and safeguarding force, ah, I see; his soul structure... As his soul’s light extinguished, it seed to be guarding sothing."
Asa scrutinized for a mont too, then said, "This soul was killed by Lars; he exploited the vulnerabilities within his soul and crushed his spirit with fear. Let guess using evil thought thinking..."
"Perhaps, this knight captain nad Gauss’s soul was guarding the Abyss Key, and within the Abyss, there remain items related to the God of Contaminated Blood. Lars attempted to use these remnants to summon the Blood God but found Gauss insurmountable. Hence, he plotted to have him killed, but unexpectedly, even after Gauss beca fallen, his soul continued to guard the Abyss Key, leaving Lars with no choice but to make him into the node of Twisted Space."
