The Last King Of Darkness

Rod was taken aback, the Starry Queen?

Isn't she from the Star Clan?

Favored by the Stars, she naturally possesses the Star Characteristic, has an extremely long lifespan, and additionally possesses the Eternal Burning Fire Attribute, making her a born ruler.

This is what the residual spirit of the Starry Queen told him in the Dream Realm.

During the clearing of Starry Sky City, Rod informed the investigators of such information in various ways, only omitting the part related to the Dream Realm.

Why did the King suddenly mention this?

The Royal City surely knows she has the Dual Soul Attribute.

Could it be...

Rod suddenly frowned. He remembered that the Starry Queen became the ruler of the Starry Kingdom because Trolian, the first Master of Stars and one of the five human heroes, failed in trying to ignite the Sealing God Fire and was forced to return to the Holy Fire.

The young Queen at the time ascended to the Throne with the help of the previous Master of Dreams, Heigao'er, stabilized the situation, and upheld the Starry Kingdom.

Could it be that the King is truly referring to the Dream Realm?

But how does he know?

Besides, the Dream Realm is a completely independent system. I have the Dream Realm, but I can't resonate with the Holy Fire?

Rod looked at the King with a puzzled gaze and hesitantly said, "I don't know... doesn't she possess both the Star and Eternal Burning Fire Attributes?"

The King gave a faint smile.

"Yes, but that's not accurate."

"In the ongoing investigation of that mysterious person's secret location, the great scholar Amides discovered some very hidden information."

Rod's heart sank; the mysterious person is Heigao'er, and the secret location is the inner temple where Heigao'er is imprisoned.

Lacking key information, the Royal City doesn't know he is the Master of Dreams, only assuming he might be a mysterious strong figure from the Fire Epoch, having some special relation with the Starry Queen, and a certain influence on the early establishment and development of the Starry Kingdom.

"The scholars of the Royal City deciphered this information. From the existing knowledge and clues, we confirmed he is the one who rescued the young Starry Queen from the fallen City of Hope, Asedgas."

"And at that time, the Starry Queen only possessed the Star Characteristic."

Rod was shocked and exclaimed, "That's impossible."

"It indeed seems unbelievable."

Horus said earnestly.

"Initially, we thought the same as you, that this was impossible, but after checking again and again, we found no mistakes in the translation, and instead found more corroborating evidence... the legend is true."

The legend?

Rod didn't know what he was referring to, only hearing the King continue speaking.

"The mysterious person did not initially foresee she would become the Starry Queen; rescuing her was for some reason we cannot understand, as if it could bring some benefit to him."

"After rescuing the Starry Queen, the mysterious person originally intended to assist Trolian in establishing a new human kingdom, but events unfolded beyond his expectations."

"Faced with some terrifying crisis, Trolian ignored his warnings and attempted a very dangerous ritual. Eventually, his stubborn insistence led to the ritual's failure, his soul shattered, plunging the newly established Starry Kingdom into great turmoil."

"The mysterious person was forced to use an ancient ritual to extract Trolian's Soul Trait Blocks, transferring the Eternal Burning Fire Attribute into the Starry Queen's soul."

"For some forbidden reason, he altered the Starry Queen's memory, concealing this fact, even extracted his own memory, solidifying it in a special way, and hid it in the crevices of his own bones, perhaps intending to retrieve it in the future."

The King's voice took on a somber tone.

"Unfortunately, he died for unknown reasons. We found exhausted memory etched into the bones of his skull, and later discovered more dried memory fragments in the secret location, all engraved onto bone dust particles as fine as ash."

"I find it hard to imagine why such a person would be reduced to bone dust, with only his skull made into a candlestick."

Horus stepped forward, his voice filled with unprecedented seething anger.

"It must be that Ancient Evil Thought! The Doomsday believers hidden within the Starry Kingdom maliciously harmed this unsung hero."

"If he hides in Trolian, I will find him and condemn him to eternal reincarnation in the torture of the soul."

Rod felt a chill in his heart, knowing more of the inside story than they did.

He could fully imagine and empathize with the rage with which a shattered Heigao'er met his tragic end at Amon's hand.

But what concerned him more was the fact that the Eternal Burning Fire Attribute could actually be "transferred"?

And from their conversation, it was evident this wasn't like the transplantation by a Spirit Bearer, but more akin to Kashan's complete acquisition of the "Seed of Anger."

But Kashan's "Seed of Anger" was an exception, only capable of being inherited by Kashan's lineage.

Others who attempted assimilation would only cause soul disorder, leading to madness and frenzy.

The soul is the core of all living beings, and the Soul Trait is the track of Source Law left at the soul's formation.

To obtain new traits, one must change the soul, engraving new tracks.

But changing the soul has always been extremely dangerous, potentially leading to madness if care is not taken.

Even someone with a bloodline connection and similar soul like Kashan could only achieve a single "Fire Spark" change, for which she took a great risk.
