The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1278 - 639: I Will Take Action

"Which characteristic of yours gives you this ability? On behalf of everyone in Saint Reel, I wish to refer to you by the title of this characteristic."

——

Rod did not answer this extremely awkward question.

Although he was aware that the issue of titles was about to be uncovered, the people of Trolian were learning the language of Saint Reel, and they were already capable of simple conversations.

Once they further mastered the Saint Reel language, the truth would inevitably come out.

Nevertheless, he still hoped that the title of Invincible War God could last a while longer, at least until he returned to the Royal City.

The people of Saint Reel no longer had concerns about food issues. The box of fried red mushrooms was distributed to every former worrier, and after eating them, their doubts miraculously disappeared, making them wholeheartedly trust the First Saint Heir and the First Bishop.

Hence, they also called these mushrooms "Faith Mushrooms."

Bossivale even declared that he would take care of all the warriors’ meals.

Saintess Yifula was informed of everything. Upon learning that Rod’s food had saved countless people, she gave Rod a big hug and expressed her desire to become his Fire Companion.

Rod, looking at the robe fabric pressed against his face, regretfully declined her offer.

Because he already had a Fire Companion.

Yifula was greatly disappointed to learn that this companion was Qingyu, the fire elect of Trolian.

Although she was merely a Commander, her talent was extremely high. It was only due to a severe lack of resources that her growth was relatively slow. Once provided with sufficient resources, it wouldn’t take long for her to reach the Monarch Level.

"It seems that His Excellency Invincible War God holds a rather high status in Trolian."

Yifula thought inwardly.

"To have made such an oath with their fire elect at such a young age, Saint Reel and Trolian may be brothers, but we have our disputes internally too. We must find a powerful backing to continue our roots in Trolian for a long time."

"Besides him... that big guy is out of the question; those hard muscles are unappetizing, and their bishop is too old. The others are merely Transcendents and are two tiers below me, making interactions somewhat disharmonious..."

After much internal conflict, in the end, her eyes focused once again on Rod.

"I need to find a way to win him over... Hmm, if not, having two Fire Companions is feasible, hopefully, that little girl won’t mind too much..."

Rod was unaware that Yifula was secretly making plans involving him. He was narrating to the people of Trolian the events that had transpired in Saint Rel Royal City.

Everyone was shocked by his words, as everything related to the sun, moon, stars, and the great terror was beyond anything they had ever imagined.

It wasn’t until a long moment after Rod finished speaking that Horus broke the silence.

"We finally understand what the great terror mentioned in the Source Prophecy referred to. Without the Pope of Saint Reel, we would likely have faced the pollution descending from the stars directly."

Qingyu bowed her head slightly, "Let us pray for this human hero."

Everyone bowed their heads and prayed in low voices, "May the great Monarch rest in the eternal Fire Heaven, and may his spirit find peace."

Only Rod did not pray, knowing that he was truly the one who would bring peace to his spirit in the future.

After the prayer, Horus asked seriously, "Rod, are you sure there’s no mistake or omission concerning everything about the Primordial Fire?"

Rod nodded slightly.

Professor Bins said, "We had such a suspicion earlier. The process of us fusing the Holy Fire Seeds in Starry Sky City was exceptionally smooth, almost as if that was how their structure was naturally aligned. After the fusion, the internal state of the Holy Fire seemed to leave many vacancies, which led us to suspect at the time whether collecting all the Holy Fire Seeds could reignite the Primordial Fire."

"Looking at it now, the answer is affirmative."

Professor Barrett pondered, "But achieving this is extremely challenging. The top ten Human Kingdoms during the Fire Epoch are all located on continents far from us. In other words, where they once thrived are extremely deep dark locations for us, much deeper than even Saint Rel Royal City."

However, Qingyu held a different opinion.

"Before the end of the Fire Epoch, five human heroes took five Holy Fire Seeds and established five Fire Kingdoms, known as the five stars in the Dark Epoch. Although the Starry Kingdom and Saint Reel have already perished, two human kingdoms remain. They may not have been destroyed."

Rod shook his head slightly, "The Pope mentioned that during his battle in the starry sky, he only saw one bright star in the boundless darkness—that was us. It’s very likely they have perished."

Professor Bins rubbed his chin, ponderingly saying, "Perhaps this was simply a metaphor... Just like the stars haven’t entirely corrupted, and the starry sky hasn’t fully corrupted, otherwise, we wouldn’t see the Sun Festival, Bright Day, or Fire Day, Moon Day."

"But their chances of survival are indeed slim," Professor Barrett added.

Qingyu calmly stated, "Regardless, these five Human Kingdoms, these five Fire King Cities, must certainly be on this land. Acquiring their Holy Fire Seeds should not be too difficult."

Clapping his hands, Horus agreed, "Yes, only five, and we need to venture into the deepest parts of darkness, searching among the ruins that were once human settlements."
