The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1650 - 775: King of Time

Of course, for the current Trolian Realm, advancing is not difficult. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

When the black tides and King Level monsters can no longer restrain them, expansion becomes the most normal thing.

But the truly important thing is not advancement, but occupation.

Without occupying land and converting the resources within into human combat power, expansion would be meaningless.

Rod is well aware of this fact.

Even killing a powerful being like the God of Contaminated Blood only granted 500 divinity, but eliminating the crisis brought by the God of Contaminated Blood earned Rod 3000 divinity, not to mention there was already 2800 divinity in the soul of the God of Contaminated Blood.

So, merely slaughtering monsters does not provide much help for humanity.

What is truly important is occupying land, acquiring resources, and enhancing combat power.

This is also the original intention for their expansion.

At the same time, it is also their greatest challenge.

Originally thought to be a long and arduous task, no one expected that the appearance of the Ash Core would completely solve all problems.

After using the Ash Core, the efficiency of all Spiritual Power transport vehicles increased by dozens of times.

Led by this new energy core, apart from its high energy storage, fast recharging, and strong energy-saving characteristics, the greatest enhancement is its almost zero loss.

This is an absolute miracle.

It has raised the operational efficiency of the entire Trolian Realm to an unimaginable level.

Previously slow Spirit Cars have increased their speed by more than tenfold.

The kingdom’s roads are filled with speeding Spirit Cars.

Cars full of people and goods rush to their destinations at the fastest speed.

If logistics is the bloodstream of a kingdom, then this kingdom’s blood flow rate has increased hundreds of times.

Amidst sufficient supply of materials, innumerable human outposts are established, countless Guardian Fires are kindled, countless roads are completed.

From a bird’s-eye view from above, countless "capillaries" spread across the land, with new "nutrients" continuously transported along them, which accelerates its extension.

Wherever the "capillaries" extend, human control extends there.

Their endpoints are generally before mining areas, lakes, and fertile lands.

Once the extension is complete, new mines, purification water plants, breeding farms, and planting fields are built in succession.

In this aspect, Trolian’s efficiency is already quite astonishing.

The entire Royal City has nearly a million production personnel, whose Spiritual Power Levels are not high, generally between levels 3-7, and their Soul Traits have no combat abilities, but they excel at construction.

A mine able to accommodate 10,000, they can complete in three days, a two-way 20-lane road of a million yards, they can complete in five days, a giant plantation able to feed a million people, they can complete in seven days.

It is their presence that enables Trolian’s production and construction to proceed at an astonishing speed.

And the various constructed mines can commence operations on the same day.

With Ash Core as the energy core, the efficiency of extraction tools and transportation tools has increased hundreds of times.

And the Mechanical Research Institute is working overtime to research more, tools better suited to the Ash Core.

At Rod’s suggestion, Spiritual Power tractors, harvesters, seeders, drills have been launched.

Because Spiritual Power is inherently suited to establish a Spirit Network, a group of Spiritual Power Flying Devices operated by a single Spiritual Power Central is also being put to use.

The only regret is that the investment in Spiritual Power golems is too large, costing too much for them to be suitable as miners, otherwise, once this step is taken, Trolian would soar.

In any case, the Ash Core is infiltrating every aspect of Trolian, changing its operational methods at an unimaginable speed.

As a result, the output of resources is also skyrocketing at an unimaginable speed.

The stable production of the Three Elements required for the Ascension Ceremony has begun.

The Light Stone Refining Array, Star Marrow Refining Furnace, Star Source Ritual are all progressing in succession.

Especially the Star Source Ritual, for the first time without Rod, relying only on themselves, they managed to condense ten portions of Pure Star Source.

This is a groundbreaking breakthrough, although it is only one-tenth of Rod’s, it represents that Trolian is finally able to obtain Pure Star Source in a regular manner.

Although Rod’s efficiency is ten times theirs, due to the influence of the stars, the same soul entity, the same area cannot repeatedly perform the Star Source Ritual.

To perform the Star Source Ritual again in the Dream Realm, they must wait until the next return of the stars.

This means he can only perform it once a year.

But Trolian is different, they perform the Star Source Ritual with multiple people, as long as more than half of the members performing the next cycle are different from the previous, it’s permissible.

Therefore, this routine Star Source Ritual is the long-term goal.

With the massive supply of resources, the reserves of the Three Elements are increasing in an orderly manner.

Everyone is filled with anticipation in their hearts, as long as this continues, the birth of a fourth True King is within reach.

Of course, at the moment this is just a beautiful prospect.

Trolian’s fortune can no longer bear more True Kings unless they can find more Divine Source Material, undergo another Fusion Ceremony, or enhance Trolian’s fortune.
