The Last King Of Darkness

Tai Luo sighed, "Brother Rod, unless I get ten times the Sun Stones and Sun Crystals, I can't catch up with you."

Fei Xue's eyes reddened, "Why am I just standing in place..."

Jessica bit her lip, seeming to hesitate for a long time before coming over and whispering, "Rod, can you help me?"

Rod looked at her in surprise, "How can I help?"

Jessica whispered, "At this point, my growth mainly relies on devouring spirituality. Spirituality is the blood of the soul, and it's hard to collect; there's not much left in the Royal City..."

Rod suddenly understood, "You need more spirituality, right? No problem!"

He felt a secret joy in his heart; Jessica was super powerful, her Six-Armed Snake Demon was terrifying, and the rule "power comes at a cost" didn't seem to apply to her.

If he could significantly help Jessica grow, she would transform into the "Dream Envoy," a change that no one would notice, and it wouldn't affect her personally, the only effect being that everything she did would be attributed to Rod, thereby gaining divinity.

Rod had the same consideration when he helped Olivia back then.

But unfortunately, Olivia was too strong herself; although his help was significant, it was far from enough to transform her into a "Dream Envoy."

Jessica's strength was just right, so Rod didn't hesitate at all and directly took out a thousand portions of spirituality on the spot and handed it over.

"You eat these first; if it's not enough, come find me."

Spirituality was a rare and narrowly used resource for the Royal City, but for Rod, it was a basic, everyday resource that could be acquired by sacrificing souls; a thousand portions of spirituality were just a drop in the bucket for him.

Everyone was stunned by Rod, Jessica opened her eyes wide, incredulously looking at the handful of semi-transparent jelly-like substance Rod handed over; based on her experience, she immediately discerned that this blob should be about a thousand portions.

To know, her weekly quota from the Royal City was only a hundred portions.

Rod handed over ten weeks' worth just like that, stunning her.

"Why... can you give me so much?" Jessica hesitated to ask.

Rod smiled, "Isn't it natural to help your fellow comrades? Your strength is Trolian's strength."

His words were reasonable, but Jessica found it hard to believe, suspecting ulterior motives, perhaps... craving for her body?

The more Jessica thought about it, the more likely it seemed. As a member of the Spirit Maidens, her beauty was undoubted, and Rod clearly wasn't a well-behaved guy.

"No way!"

Jessica firmly refused.

"You're too despicable, I absolutely won't agree!"

Rod's mouth dropped open, "Huh?"

"At most once!"

Jessica said righteously, quickly reaching out and grabbing all the spirituality from Rod's hands.

Rod didn't understand at all what she was talking about, "What once?"

Jessica blushed, stomping her foot, "You're too greedy! What you're doing is wrong, isn't this kind of thing supposed to be mutual? Watch out or I'll report you to the Disciplinary Committee, even though you're the Envoy of Fire, the brightest new star, our hope, you still can't... Alright, at most three times, you can come find me, but don't disturb my cultivation."

After saying that, she turned around and ran away.

Wendy, the red-haired girl, stuck her tongue out at Rod, "Ooo, you bad guy!"

Tai Luo watched from the side, dumbfounded, "Is this how it works? Do you have no morals? No conscience? The conscience and shame of humanity are crying... Brother Rod, can you spare me once?"

Fei Xue spat, "A bunch of bad guys! None of you are good people, I'm going to report you to the Disciplinary Committee!"

Rod was stunned, "What are you all talking about? Have my good intentions gone to the dogs?"

In the midst of the commotion, things suddenly quieted down, and Wang's grand voice rang out.

"Everyone, the preliminary strategy has been set, we have decided to officially set out southwest in three days, break through Ash Lake, occupy the old castle, kill the Ancient Dragon King, and the battle to dethrone the king, officially begins!"

"Long live Trolian!"

The cheers immediately shattered the heavens and earth.

Among countless ecstatic faces, some were even streaming with tears, they had waited for this step for a long time, waited for this phrase "battle to dethrone the king" for even longer.

Ash Lake was in the southwest of Trolian, and together with the old castle, it restrained Trolian's further space like an iron clamp; and the super large Sun Crystal vein that everyone was coveting was right behind Ash Lake.

Breaking through Ash Lake and occupying the old castle would allow them to mine that super large Sun Crystal vein.

And the Sun Crystals are the key material for the Spiritual Energy Ascension Ceremony.

With more Sun Crystals, the warriors' promotion speed would be greatly increased.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live our King!"

Amidst delirious cheers, the King smiled and said.

"It's long live the humans of Trolian!"

In the thunderous cheering, the meeting ended.

People soon left the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, half of them needing to prepare well in the three days before setting out.

But Rod couldn't leave yet.

The King retained the highest levels of Trolian, seemingly having more to say.

"Everyone, I have some not-so-good news, as we continue to expand, my crisis intuition is gradually becoming clearer; in the coming future, I'm likely to encounter a crisis."

Everyone's face immediately darkened.

Luo Weiya anxiously said, "That's impossible! How can that be? Haven't we bounced back from the bottom? Humanity is in a rising period, how could we encounter such a thing?"

The King smiled, "Luo Weiya, don't get agitated, in such a dark world, anything can happen."

First Fire Son Alehon asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, hasn't your life's deficiency been restored? Your current state is at the peak period of your life, with the blessing of the Holy Fire, nothing can match you."

The King nodded, "Alehon, I have indeed recovered, and I also believe that nothing can defeat me, but there are always uncertainties in everything, as the King of Trolian, shouldn't I be more comprehensive when thinking about problems?"

Alehon said in a deep voice, "King, I think the highest level of protection should be activated, your safety is the most important thing for Trolian."

The King shook his head lightly, "That consumes too much combat power, I will preserve my strength and adjust my state to respond to this crisis, so in this battle, you will not receive my blessing."

"In addition, Olivia and Alan will hold the marker of the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, if they need help, they will come across the space."

But Alehon and Amendo still felt uneasy; the older one gets, the more they value the Holy Fire and the King, knowing this is the foundation of Trolian, as long as the Holy Fire doesn't extinguish, and the King doesn't collapse, they can recover from any setback.

The King comforted, "In this period, I will always be guarding the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground; if any monster can kill me under the Holy Fire, then it's no use for you all to come."

"Besides, we have the Concealed Fire; even if by any chance I die, Rod can take my place, the Fire Transmission Ceremony is ready, and Rod will surely inherit the Eternal Burning Fire Attribute from my soul and become the new King of Trolian."

Alehon and Amendo still wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by the King.

"Alright, don't be too tense, as long as your campaigns go smoothly, there's nothing to worry about."

"In the future, nothing is ever wrong."

"Currently, the hidden danger I face is the problem of the Doomsday believers."

Upon saying this, Rod hurriedly revealed the clues he had about the Doomsday believers and the origin of the Ancient Evil Thought.

"My intuition tells me, Amon has already hidden deep in the sewers, he seems to want to use the Abyss to threaten us, putting us into a difficult situation."

"The Ancient Evil Thought was created by an unknown existence, whose sole purpose is to destroy humanity."

Rod spoke for a long time, twisting his tongue, finally making everyone understand what he was saying.

The King's expression became very gloomy.

"It's clear that the Ancient Evil Thought was invoked, no one-der it's so troublesome."
