The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1593 - 753: The Curse of Destiny (3)

The Book of Knowledge snorted: "Of course, this is also my duty."

The Book of the Future slowly flipped through its pages, looking very tired, yet its tone was filled with excitement:

"Master, this is also what I should be doing. My digestion of Destiny Energy has long reached a bottleneck. To further digest new Destiny Energy, I must use it, use the power of destiny. Although I was severely injured in the battle against the Blood God, I fully digested all the Destiny Energy because of it, and thus acquired the ability to influence destiny."

"This time, my confrontation against the cursed fate of the City of Calamity has also enhanced the digestion of Destiny Energy. I feel that I can soon consume the next portion."

Rod exclaimed joyfully, "Really? That’s great! There are four portions of Destiny Energy left in the Dream Realm; if you digest them all, you will certainly return to the glory of the Book of Destiny period."

The Book of the Future held its pages high, looking radiant.

"You are so right, Master. The pursuit of destiny is a dream deeply embedded in my soul. I will surely become your right-hand, wielding the Authority of destiny for you."

Man and book laughed loudly together, only the Book of Knowledge seemed quite displeased.

"Humph, why did the master only kiss me three times, but kissed that ragged book five times?"

"Could it be that I didn’t perform as well as it? No way, I must reclaim my glory! Just wait and see, you tattered book!"

After the Dream Realm traveled back through the rift, Rod’s tense heart finally relaxed.

He turned his head, finally having the time to examine the souls he had acquired.

The souls of two demigods were sealed in the Crystal Wall of the Soul Altar; they were completely jet black, indicating severe corruption. Within the seal, they remained motionless like human-shaped shadows.

Seeing their names, Rod frowned.

The Deviant Ancient God Baiyatris?

The Spider Ancient God Nakya?

He wasn’t familiar with the latter, but the former left an impression. On the Sword Edge Mountain Range, wasn’t that Divine City associated with the Deviant Ancient God Baiyatris?

Saint Reel’s exploration had reached as far as there, and the Star Marrow Altar was located within the Divine Tower of the city. The plan for the Eternal Sanctuary originated from there.

Rod remembered very clearly that the initial concept of the Eternal Sanctuary was proposed by seven demigods who had just experienced an inevitable major defeat, sparking the idea of refuge.

But the situation worsened when, after countless efforts, they realized the true "Eternal Sanctuary" was impossible to achieve, as the Black Fog could penetrate space, bypass the sanctuary’s defenses, and infiltrate its interior.

Pollution was unavoidable.

Thus, the seven demigods had to abandon this plan, and subsequent attempts during the Fire Epoch saw numerous efforts to continue this plan, but all ended in failure, with Saint Reel’s scholars being the last to fail.

However, Rod still gained inspiration from it; he relocated the Star Marrow Altar back to Trolian, using it to raise the Black Fog Great Wall, completely altering Trolian’s defense landscape.

Although the true "Eternal Sanctuary" was not realized, it took on another form, becoming humanity’s steadfast shield.

Their research outcomes were not in vain.

Rod had even found notes at the top of the Divine Tower indicating that the Deviant Ancient God Baiyatris had gone to the Spirit Realm seeking answers to save the world, only to fall in the City of Calamity in the high-level Spirit Realm.

Accompanying him was the Spider Ancient God Nakya, a stranger among ancient gods but undoubtedly one of the seven demigods.

What exactly were they seeking in the high-level Spirit Realm?

Rod curiously peered into the depths of their souls.
