The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1431 - 694: Past and Future_4

Rod’s heart trembled: "Are you saying that the Giant Ancestor fell a long time ago and was dismembered and sealed across the five continents?"

Amides nodded slightly: "Yes, if deduced this way, the Soul Ripple acquired by Giant King Omir can be explained. It belonged to the Red War God Beakleus, who fell in a much earlier catastrophe."

Professor Bins said, "If inferred this way, many perplexing mysteries are explained, such as the Life of Man and Ancient Evil Thought, which were likely born in that era, which I refer to as the Pre-God Era."

Professor Barrett said, "In the Post-God Era, there were only four True Gods, seven subordinate gods, as well as legendary creatures like giants, giant dragons, and elves. After three great wars of destruction, all gods and legendary creatures fell, leaving only humans surviving."

"Though the exact process remains unknown, we now know that the era was upheld by the Holy King. It was only after the Holy King’s end that humans truly began to flourish, establishing the Third Epoch known as the Human Era."

"This glory continued until the end of the Third Epoch, which crumbled in an unknown catastrophe, with five human heroes escaping from the last Fire King City, Asedgas, marking the beginning of the Fourth Epoch, the Dark Era."

Rod stood in place as the tapestry of history slowly unfolded before him, majestic scenes surged forth, and the grand epic echoed in his ears. Suddenly, he felt a dizzying vertigo.

Indeed, battling the Black Fog penetrated the entire history of the Material World—countless fierce battles, heart-stopping moments, and unknown sacrifices of flesh and souls brought humanity to where it stands today.

Rod suddenly understood that Supreme Will, the strange Ancestor, Human Demons—such terrifying existences—all belonged to the Pre-God Era.

No wonder there were unique entities like "Life of Man" and "Ancient Evil Thought" at that time.

The Dream Realm must be the same!

Rod clenched his fists, feeling the heavy burden for the first time and understanding more clearly what it means to have a long and arduous journey ahead.

Afterwards, Rod spent an afternoon conversing with the three scholars, repeatedly discussing every detail happened.

Upon leaving Jinwoosi Society, he felt his thoughts had become much clearer, and many doubts had dissipated.

He and the three scholars agreed to inform each other immediately should there be any new developments.

The day had been incredibly fulfilling, but Rod’s tasks were not yet complete.

Today’s teleportation gate had not yet been used; it could not go to waste.

Though Spiritual Energy had not been greatly restored, Rod still rushed to the next region, the southern "Corpse Land."

This area was also filled with undead monsters, said to be amassed from corpses from a massacre during the Fire Epoch, numbering in the billions. These innumerable corpses, under the erosion of the Black Fog, naturally birthed countless monsters.

These monsters, in an environment filled with undead aura and Black Fog, were extremely ferocious, causing great trouble for Trolian’s expansion. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But for Rod, this was the most suitable region.

When the light of the Holy Fire illuminated the battlefield, the Black Fog vanished instantly, all impurities burning, and the combat power of the undead monsters fell sharply. The human army slaughtered their way from south to north, wiping out the fiercest undead monsters in "Corpse Land" like slicing through vegetables.

Rod did not engage in wholesale killing but only intervened slightly to harvest souls; the harvest was considerable.

After three clock hours, the main obstacles in the "Corpse Land" had already been cleared, leaving the rest to the warriors, and Rod returned to the Royal City to continue resting.

Within the range of the Holy Fire, the recovery speed of Spiritual Energy is always a bit faster.

This seems to be due to the Holy Fire’s deep purification of the world.

Returning to his accommodation, Rod was just on the verge of sleep when suddenly, the Book of the Future jumped off the bookshelf.

"Master!"
