Olivia nodded, "Especially with the army’s advancent, it must be stable and steady. We must establish a foothold before moving forward."
The commanders simultaneously said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely stay in contact and proceed cautiously."
Rod could no longer contain the boiling in his blood, "Then let’s set off, exploring a Divine Country is quite a big project."
Horus nodded slightly, "I choose the Olka Ancient City."
Kai: "Then I’ll head to Trank Mountain Castle."
Olivia pondered, "Then Dark Moon and I will go to Blood Red Ancient City."
Rod moved swiftly, flying out of the grand library first.
"It’s begun, a new journey!"
"For Trolian!"
Amidst imnse cheers, the five top warriors went their separate ways.
——
600,000 yards presented no stress to Rod now; the thick Black Fog offered him no hindrance either.
With the support of more than 12 million units of Primordial Spirit Power, Rod took just half a quarter of an hour to see the Swamp Dead Castle nestled beneath the mountains.
He descended rapidly, the color of the Black Fog deepening, as if perating the Space. This was true Black Fog, but a more intense red light burst forth from Rod’s body, slicing through the Black Fog like a blade.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Swamp Dead Castle.
This was an incredibly vast, foul-slling swamp, the mud mixed with countless excrents, gathered at the mountain’s foot, accumulated over countless years, forming an indistinguishable mixture, even the Black Fog was tinged with the color of excrent.
A black Giant Castle was built atop this puddle of vile muck.
Asa exclaid with joy, "Paradise, how can there be such a paradise? Even the legendary Fire Heaven wouldn’t compare!"
Rod nearly vomited; if the legendary Fire Heaven looked like this, sorry, I want to betray fire.
"Asa, where is the Divine Source Material?"
"In the depths of the sludge! Let out, Master! I will find it for you!"
Rod’s thoughts flickered, a Phantom erged in mid-air, Asa descended into it next, and with a cheer, plunged headlong into the sludge. Countless bubbles rose from beneath the sludge, the gurgling sound making Rod feel nauseous.
To avoid witnessing such a disgusting sight, Rod focused his attention on the Swamp Dead Castle.
This Giant Castle was square-shaped, approximately 800 yards high, 9,000 yards wide, covered with strange Corrosive Material.
He landed at the fortress’s summit, and dozens of black, mud-like masses launched a fierce attack on him.
Rod didn’t even glance at them, opened his Soul Field, and the ripple of Destroying Darkness spread out. The black mud-like masses were instantly shredded, scattered, and turned to ash.
[Stinking Mud Demon’s Soul]
[Strong Soul]
[Possesses Sedint of Excrent]
[Possesses Corrupted Humanity]
[A mixture of excrent, mud, flesh, and dead souls, born over countless years under the Black Fog’s influence.]
Rod frowned slightly, "Sedint of Excrent" was one thing, but "Corrupted Humanity"? Why does this monster have it?
The Book of Knowledge also seed quite hesitant, "Perhaps this monster was corrupted around dead humans at its core... No, that’s incorrect, dead humans lack Humanity. Generally speaking, Humanity doesn’t get corrupted, only consud; could this be under the Blood God’s protection?"
Rod asked, "What is the use of Corrupted Humanity?"
The Book of Knowledge flipped through pages, speaking solemnly, "Corrupted Humanity is an extrely peculiar Corrosive Material. Master, you know, Humanity is the distinctive substance that composes the Soul. Without Humanity, a Soul lacks emotions, lacks feelings, gradually becoming mad, ultimately losing control to darkness, becoming a monster. Except in Dream Realm, few can separate Humanity from a Soul, and even in Dream Realm, another thod is used to acquire Humanity."
"When a Soul is corrupted and eroded, Humanity counteracts the Pollution. In very rare circumstances, Humanity becos polluted; once corrupted, it turns into a dark sedint, capable of gathering more Black Fog, accelerating the Black Fog’s distillation from the Void. Legend has it, in a world ruled by future Black Fog, the earth is constructed from corrupted Humanity."
Rod asked with furrowed brow, "Then it’s not purely a malignant Pollutant?"
"That’s right, Master. The best thod is to pile it up and seal it."
"Seal it? Can’t it be destroyed?"
The Book of Knowledge briefly shook its pages.
"Master, Corrupted Humanity is hard to destroy; even if you did destroy it, the Black Fog would still release, making it aningless and wasting power instead."
Rod felt sowhat heavy-hearted, but fortunately, the Dream Realm also possessed Sealing Power; the Crystal Wall on the Soul Altar was the source of the seal. He stacked the Corrupted Humanity in a corner and used the power of the Crystal Wall to seal it, avoiding pollution of Dream Realm.
Thereafter, he walked towards the interior of the Giant Castle.
The interior of Swamp Dead Castle was entirely a working area, like a mix of cesspit and mortuary. Excrents and corpses from across the Divine Country gathered here, then buried into the swamp.
There were no traces of battle here; evidently, at the advent of Doomsday, people were already in despair and offered no resistance.
All the monsters within the Giant Castle were Stinking Mud Demons; it seed that this area could only birth these creatures.
At the center of the Giant Castle, Rod found a shattered Crystal; it seed to be sothing from the Ancient Epoch used to resist the Black Fog.
From the Crystal, he sensed a very faint aura of the Blood God; it appeared that the protective power of the Crystal was granted by the Blood God.
