[Sin’s Touch] is a very useful Great Star, capable of destroying enemy defenses, second only to [Giant God Power] and [Truth].
Rod had long been looking forward to its awakening.
"Alright, this is it!"
He strode to the Star Tower, jumped to the top, reached out with his right hand, lightly touched the giant bell, and saw the pointer pointing to [Sin’s Touch].
divinity followed.
At the sa ti, a line of black text appeared before him:
[Requirent: 3 portions of Strong Source, 300 portions of Flower of Humanity]
These were the additional conditions for awakening the Great Star. For Rod now, 3 portions of Strong Source were not a problem; the focus was 300 portions of Flower of Humanity.
Luckily, he had harvested a large batch of Flower of Humanity before; otherwise, he wouldn’t have enough now.
Rod looked painfully as 3 portions of Strong Source and 300 portions of Flower of Humanity rged into the Star Tower, and a mist of spirituality erged on the surface of the giant bell as the pointer slowly rotated, signaling the start of awakening.
In the next instant, Rod’s vision darkened, foul and decaying slls assaulted him, his body plumted into a terrifying giant pit, black tendrils densely coiled within the pit, and a deep voice sounded by his ear.
"I fell into boundless darkness, destroyed everything I once owned."
"The corrupted Hero King, gazing at heaven from hell, protecting those pure white flowers."
"If you have never been filthy, you are not qualified to receive my power."
"Let see the darkness in your soul, your evil, your venom, your madness, your sin."
"But they should always exist in your imagination; you must not violate them, standing in the mire yet remaining untainted."
"Ahhhh, what is this?"
"Ahhhh, so evil, so perverse, I cannot imagine such twisted filth; my eyes, my eyes are going blind, my mind is splitting apart, ahhhh, why does this sort of thing exist... but, however, you only imagine them at specific tis, you never enacted them, never put them into practice, you deeply studied everything about them, knew of their existence, yet never touched them—unbelievable, unbelievable!"
The darkness receded like a tide, the filth like dust in a gale, vanished in an instant, the black tendrils retracted to the unseen underground, and the giant pit swelled upwards, becoming a mountain peak.
The deep voice again sounded by his ear.
"My master, the destined King, freely use this power."
"When we achieve endless victory, please do not forget, there was a hero who protected you amidst the filth."
"I am Ocard, the first King of the City of Sigles."
The voice dissipated, the strange scene before him gradually faded, and Rod returned to the Dream Realm, incredulously looking at the deep gray light blossoming in the dream night sky.
This was not the first ti; he had done nothing, yet suddenly passed the trial, completing the Star’s awakening.
"Maybe."
Rod thought optimistically.
"This is my talent; it’s my noble qualities and morals that have inspired the Star Soul of this Star to switch sides and co to peace ceremoniously—hahaha, I’m indeed the one chosen by the Dream Realm, possessing great wisdom like the King."
The Book of Knowledge was also stunned: "Could the master really be a genius? Is this the true reason the Dream Realm chose the master?"
Monts later, the gray light receded like a tide, [Sin’s Touch] completely rged into Rod’s soul, becoming a part of his body, like his eleventh finger, third arm, and third leg.
New informational texts poured down before his eyes.
[Sin’s Touch]
[State: Primordial]
[Position: Above Spirit Realm]
[Star Energy: Sin’s Touch]
[Star Soul: Fall of Evil]
[Strength: 1 billion]
[Source: 10]
[Description: The body may end, but the spirit is immortal—may the gods treat my brothers, the Heroic Spirits well.]

——
[Sin’s Touch]: Tears the armor of the flesh, destroys the defenses of the soul, penetrates the spirit, directly hits the mind, and greatly weakens the soul’s protection abilities, causing destructive effects on their ntal will.
[Fall of Evil]: Releases the power of corruption, extends the Heroic Spirit’s tendrils, sniffing the enemy’s air and liquid, attacking the enemy’s vulnerabilities, and piercing the enemy’s weaknesses directly.
——
Rod was stunned by the function of this Star.
[Sin’s Touch] was indeed a Star that summons tendrils, [Fall of Evil] actually transford him into an octopus, using enormous tendrils to directly strike the enemy.
However, unlike [Giant God Power], [Fall of Evil] is not a complete transformation; it only summons tendrils similar to his eleventh finger, third arm, third leg. Though resembling an octopus, his essence is still not that of an octopus.
This is the only thing that consoles Rod; otherwise, when everyone turns into octopuses, it would damage his noble image, destroying the might he had painstakingly built.
The Book of Knowledge, however, voiced no such concerns, exclaiming excitedly: "Master, you have beco stronger again, the Dream Realm now holds 10 portions of Source Energy, making its power even stronger; you will soon master the fourth portion of Root Origin power!"
Rod chuckled dryly, he certainly felt the warmth streaming in his soul, but with the massive boost from [Sacrifice], the enhancent of his Soul Strength by [Sin’s Touch] could only be deed limited.
However, after all, [Sacrifice] involves 300 portions of Source Energy, a vastly costly Great Star kindling, fundantally different from ordinary Great Stars.
The awakening of [Sin’s Touch] primarily granted him new abilities, which can also utilize his Spiritual Energy exceeding 8 million kiloseconds.
That is its aning.
Yet, if he wants to further enhance his Spiritual Energy, he still needs to awaken a Giant Star.
"Book, are there any clues about the Source Material for [Eye of Divine]?"
The Book of Knowledge shook slightly: "Master, I’ve tried many thods but can’t find its existence, not even a trace. We’ll have to wait until we acquire a special structure to locate Source Material."
Rod felt slightly disappointed, but there was nothing he could do, so he turned to ask: "Book, where are we heading next?"
The Book of Knowledge pondered for a mont, then said: "Master, I have decided that the next high-level Spirit Realm area is the Nest of Destruction. The Dream Realm has altered its course, and we will enter the Nest of Destruction in three days."
Rod nodded; surprisingly, he felt a hint of anticipation.
The last ti, the City of Calamity had provided the extremally powerful "Ti Gate", which could directly banish monsters to the end of ti—this was one of Rod’s trump cards.
This ti, what special creation will the Nest of Destruction provide him?
Filled with anticipation, Rod left the Dream Realm, planning to return to the frontline when suddenly the King’s voice appeared in his ears.
"Rod, co to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, I need your help."
Startled, Rod rushed to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground as fast as he could.
Upon seeing the golden Holy Fire unaffected, still occupying most of the space in the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Holy Fire was not compromised.
Then confusion surfaced in his mind—why did the King call here?
Is there anything the King can’t resolve?
Rod turned his gaze and soon spotted the King behind the Holy Fire.
He seed to be engraving sothing.
With slight confusion, Rod flew to the King’s side and asked: "What happened? What are you doing?"
The King lifted his head from the base of the Holy Fire—the massive King Artifact, golden light sparkling in his gaze upon seeing Rod.
"Young Rod, I am improving the base of the Holy Fire; it currently limits the strength of the fire. I need to ensure it can bear more powerful Holy Fire in the future... As for your coming, it’s for another matter."
The King carved the last symbol, leaped from the base, and spoke in a deep voice.
"I have sensed the pollution of the starry sky; the Holy Fire is facing a crisis. I need your help to completely eradicate all factors threatening the Holy Fire."
At this mont, intense joy surged within Rod; he imdiately agreed: "Alright!"
The King grasped his hand, flas surged along his arm onto Rod.
"Let’s go."
Rod followed the King into the Holy Fire.
And when they stepped out of the Holy Fire, they had arrived in the Spirit Realm.
Rod stared in surprise at everything before him.
In the distance was the vast Spirit Realm.
Behind him was a golden fla stretching tens of thousands of yards.
