The Last King Of Darkness

Rod stared at the Book of the Future in surprise.

"Opportunity, what opportunity?"

The Book of the Future spoke urgently, "I saw it, the melody of the master’s destiny, flickering in the distant depths of darkness. It is a giant graveyard, with twelve rhombus-patterned pillars towering into the sky, surrounded by Source Black Fog, with strange shadows flickering! It is calling the master!"

Rod’s heart trembled, he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean? What is calling me? What is this graveyard? If I go there, can I gain an enhancement?"

The Book of Knowledge seemed to muse, "A giant graveyard, twelve rhombus-patterned pillars, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere?"

At this moment, the doll suddenly spoke.

"This is the Giant Graveyard, the twelve pillars represent the twelve King of Giants, and the rhombus pattern is the Giant tongue for sleep."

"Giant Graveyard?" Rod was even more baffled, "What could be in the Giant Graveyard that can help me enhance? Am I the missing Giant King Omir, returning to the Giant’s graveyard to reclaim the giant’s legacy?"

The doll shook its head, "Impossible, you don’t have the size of a giant."

Rod glanced at it, "Aphro, you’d better be talking about size."

The doll said calmly, "I’m talking about the soul, every giant naturally carries the Giant’s Source Law, even the Giant King Omir who was originally human is no exception. His soul contains very faint Giant Source Power, thus his Soul Body naturally appears gigantic; otherwise, the giants would never have revered him as the King of Giants."

Rod and the Book of Knowledge both stared at it with a surprised expression.

"Aphro, I never knew you understood giants so well."

The doll spoke indifferently, "I recalled many things. Meditation restored parts of my memory, including many memories erased when the Dream Realm shattered."

Rod was both shocked and delighted, never expecting the doll, always silent, without much presence, to give him such a surprise: "Can you remember how the Dream Realm shattered? What level was the former Master of Dreams Heigao’er? How many stars did he ignite, how many Root Origins did he possess? Did he surpass level 17?"

The doll answered calmly, "I am trying."

Rod laughed, "Good, I hope you recover your memory soon. And you, Book of Knowledge, look at Aphro."

The Book of Knowledge replied rather unhappily, "I have too many things to do, no time for constant meditation."

The doll also said, "The Book of Knowledge is a vessel for knowledge, so its erasure is much stricter. Therefore, memory confusion, mixed thoughts, idiotic mistakes, are all very normal things."

The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages, "Look, even Aphro said so."

Rod covered his forehead; it seems this guy can’t become smart, wisdom is an occasional flash, stupidity is its normal state.

"Alright, now I want to know, where is this Giant Graveyard?"

The Book of the Future slowly turned its pages, "I see endless darkness and downward mountains... It’s in the depth of the Dark World, where there are sprawling mountains."

Rod frowned slightly; there are too many places in the depths of darkness with sprawling mountains.

The doll suddenly said, "If the scene you saw is correct, it should be at the end of the Dead Ash Mountain Range."

The Book of Knowledge was shocked, "How do you know?"

"The Giant Graveyard won’t leave the Gray Soil Continent, and the southwest of the Gray Soil Continent has been occupied by us, remaining places with sprawling mountains are few. The downward mountains mean it has reached the end, and mountains beyond the Dead Ash Mountain Range don’t have the height to show such a downward scene, so what Weiguang Asa saw is very likely the end of the Dead Ash Mountain Range."

The doll’s words stunned everyone.

Worthy of Aphro, once spoken, it amazed everyone; indeed, it is more reliable... Rod sighed inwardly, saying, "Since we know the location, there’s no time to waste, I’ll set off now."

The Book of Knowledge urged, "Wait, is there danger there?"

The Book of the Future flipped its pages, answering slowly, "The future is unclear, but there should be danger."

Rod laughed, "No matter how dangerous it is, I must go. After all, there lies my ’opportunity’, although I don’t know what that opportunity is."

"But..."

"Book, don’t worry, I am after all already the True King. I said before, I will raise declining humanity, rekindle the dimming Holy Fire, and achieve ultimate victory."

Without waiting for a reply, Rod turned away, leaving the Dream Realm.

——

The Dead Ash Mountain Range is a massive range thousands of yards long, stretching from west to east across the border between the Gray Soil Continent and Dead Soil Continent. If including some branches, its total length exceeds ten thousand chiasma.

Trolian has never truly reached its end, for east of it is the Endless Sea.

The vast sea has been completely corrupted and polluted, becoming a desolate and dark ocean. No one dares to imagine what might exist under the sea surface, and no one dares to approach the ocean.

In the scene seen by the Book of the Future, there was no sea, so the Giant Graveyard must be at the western end of the Dead Ash Mountain Range.

The place Trolian expanded to is over ten thousand chiasma away from the Royal City, but it is in the southwestern direction, whereas the Dead Ash Mountain Range is inclined to the northwest, quite far apart.

Rod entrusted the battlefield affairs to the Black Battle Group that went on an expedition with him, allowing Molly to temporarily manage the corps, station and rest locally, clean up the surroundings, and not expand further before he returns, while also waiting for the steps of production personnel and logistics personnel from the rear. Due to the rapid expansion, they are already far behind.
