The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1432 - 695: Aid from Fate

The fatigue suddenly vanished, and Rod jumped up, gazing at the Book of the Future in surprise.

"Have you absorbed this Destiny Energy?"

The entire Book of the Future was enveloped in a white aura of destiny, an unknown, mysterious, and majestic aura flickered around it, with strange patterns covering the pages, even filling the binding.

It exclaimed excitedly, "Master, I have absorbed it. I have mastered another power of destiny. My perception of the future is clearer. I can see countless strings of destiny flying past me, converging into the river of time and destiny. The feeling I once had is back!"

Rod instantly returned to the Dream Realm, carefully observing the Book of the Future, noting that its greatest change was its soul.

Previously, its soul was very thin, its Soul Body extremely sparse, and its Spiritual Body elusive.

This is also the usual appearance of the spirits born on Dream Creations, nearly absent of a Soul Body, relying primarily on spirit, more like a collective entity of consciousness.

Without a Soul Body, it cannot bear Spiritual Energy, nor can it bear Source Law; this is an iron law.

A pure spirit has no combat power unless it places its Soul Body elsewhere, mobilizing power through the special connection between soul and spirit.

But doing so is highly dangerous; the Spiritual Body exposed is extremely fragile, without the protection of a Soul Body, and without achieving a complete Soul state. Whether it’s defense capabilities, Spiritual Energy, or the might of Source Law, they are significantly weakened, and only under very special circumstances would anyone attempt this.

The sole exception is Rod, whose existence in the Dream Realm resembles a Spiritual Body but possesses powers identical to his true form, and can even undergo unlimited resurrection.

The Book of Knowledge once told him that what enters the Dream Realm is actually his will, with its vessel being the Dream’s special creation.

His relationship with the Dream is extremely complex, not just a simple parasitic or symbiotic form, but more like a mutually dependent symbiotic body, just like the two sides of a coin.

However, neither the Book of Knowledge nor the Book of the Future have such privileges; if they are destroyed, their essence would vanish forever, though their creations can be repaired, their spirits would be gone eternally.

Therefore, they do not possess direct combat power, lacking a Soul Body and unable to bear Source Law, they can only use their inherent abilities.

But now, the soul of the Book of the Future has changed. Although it still lacks a Soul Body, Rod sensed a power similar to that of the Source.

"What’s going on?"

Rod opened the Eye of the Soul. Nothing in the Dream Realm changed, except the Book of the Future’s soul became transparent. He saw a special condensed matter within it, fusing perfectly with the Book of the Future’s soul, like blood and flesh intertwined.

The power of the Source emanated from within.

"How is this possible? Has it condensed the Source within its Spiritual Body?"

The Spiritual Body is a collective entity of consciousness, while the Source is the imprint of the law; only a Soul Body could house such an imprint. If a new trajectory were inscribed on the Spiritual Body, it would inevitably affect the consciousness of the Spiritual Body, leading to chaos and eventually losing control and going insane.

The Book of the Future excitedly fluttered its pages in place, not noticing its master’s strange gaze.

At this moment, the Book of Knowledge hopped onto Rod’s shoulder, also noticing the peculiar situation here.

"Master."

It spoke in a very soft voice.

"That seems not to be the Source."

Rod looked at it in shock. The Source is an intangible existence, meaningful only in a Soul Body. He still didn’t know how the Obelisk’s "Source Stripping" was achieved.

"What is it then?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped through its pages, responded in a solemn tone, "More like Source Material."

Rod was startled, Source Material is a materialized source, generally impossible to manufacture, only forming at the creation’s inception.

"Are you saying, the power of destiny has condensed into something similar to Source Material within its Spiritual Body?"

The Book of Knowledge nodded slightly, "A pseudo-Source Material that coexists with the Spiritual Body, through which it is mastering the power of destiny. Master, I have a suggestion: if you use Destiny Energy, it’s a consumable, bringing only temporary benefits. Why not give it all to the Book of the Future, let it condense into a powerful, Unique Source Material? You know the value of ’Unique,’ right?"

Rod remained silent. He understood this well. Source Material itself is precious, usually used by humans to create powerful weapons or perform powerful rituals.

But even if the same "Source Material" exists in multiple copies, the more of its kind, the more dispersed its power in that particular domain, weakening the Source Material’s potency.

If it’s labeled with "Unique," it has gathered all the power of that domain; the difference between it and ordinary Source Material is stark.

The "Unique" Source Material Rod possesses is the Giant God Core of "Giant God Power."

Its powerful star quality allowed Rod to step into the realm of a powerful Monarch in a single stride. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Up till now, Rod hasn’t even used the killing move of "Giant God Power" - "God of Giants."

This demonstrates the strength and rarity of "Unique" Source Material.

The Book of Knowledge continued, "Until I saw this scene, I finally understood its value. Perhaps, this is what the Giant Clan has tirelessly pursued. Master, if the Book of the Future proves useful, we keep it. If not, we erase its spirit; the Source Material won’t vanish with the spirit’s demise. The Unique Source Material of destiny remains in our hands, ensuring we incur no loss."
