The Last King Of Darkness

Kai calmly said, "During Trolian’s rapid rise, it has become much stronger compared to the past. Some things we might not feel, but I can vaguely sense that the whole world is tilting towards the dark Abyss, with many things developing negatively. It’s only due to some powerful external interference that we haven’t felt major negative effects."

Rod knows that this powerful external interference is the King’s Source Heavenly God Throne.

Horus asked, "King, what should we do then? Stop expanding? But right now, in this critical period of rapid advancement, our demand for resources is unprecedented, and if we cut it off..."

The King paused for a moment, then said gravely, "There is still some time until the arrival of the great pollution. You can continue to expand, but you must be cautious and not be too aggressive. If necessary, we will abandon all territories."

Horus’s face contorted slightly; he was reluctant to let go of the occupied territories. "King, is there a way to expand the Spirit’s Curtain of the Star Marrow Altar? At least to include the already occupied areas within our boundaries."

Rod replied, "Unless we find the remaining three Ancient Gods and retrieve their Soul Weapons, the Spirit’s Curtain cannot be fundamentally enhanced."

Horus was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "I heard you asked the priest of the Star Marrow Altar to explore the inner space of the altar."

Rod nodded lightly, "According to my understanding, the true purpose of the Ancient Seven Gods of the morning attack on the Star Marrow Altar is its inner space, which is what they desire as the absolute sanctuary. Do you remember the words the God of Contaminated Blood said before dying?"

Horus frowned slightly; he remembered clearly that the God of Contaminated Blood said two extremely important things before dying.

The first was, "All gods are humans."

The second was, "The Black Fog is unbeatable; the only way to survive is to spill blood and Spirit To build a true sanctuary, to leave the Plane, to hide in the Void, and to drift eternally in the Void."

This memory would never be forgotten, especially the shout from the soul before it dissipated: "Run, children, run fast!"

A god once seen as unbeatable by them turned out to be a runner, which greatly shocked Horus at the time.

Rod said in a grave tone, "I can sense that the God of Contaminated Blood, no, it should be the Blood God of Life, the Blood Purification God, the Creator and Guardian of Taranor, Mu, is not a cowardly failure. Perhaps he saw fears we haven’t seen and knew all resistance was futile, so he advised us to run away, which might be the only way for humans to survive."

"And the inner space of the Star Marrow Altar is likely the true sanctuary he spoke of."

With a cautious tone, Rod surveyed the room.

"Although I don’t think so, there’s always the chance that if one day we fail, this will be our only retreat, ensuring we don’t face complete extinction. However, I believe that this day will never come. Humanity will achieve final victory, and light and fire will illuminate the world, eradicating the Black Fog completely."

The Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, the King said softly, "Little Rod, you’ve done well, but never mention these matters again in any setting."

Rod nodded, "I understand."

The King paused for a few seconds, looking at the three True Kings before him, and said calmly, "You must never forget that humans are everything to us, not territory. Retreat does not mean giving up; as long as people remain, one day we will reclaim everything we once lost."

Horus lowered his head and said softly, "I understand, King, I was wrong. When the great pollution arrives, I will retreat into our Absolute Defense circle."

The King smiled faintly, "Horus, the arrival of the great pollution is quite a slow process. During this time, we can still fend off those pollutions and repel the invasion of the Black Fog Symbionts. Battle strength is the key to everything; we need more True Kings, more top-tier strong individuals. You must also become stronger; this will decide Trolian’s future fate."

With a solemn expression, Horus bowed, "I understand, King."

"That’s good. In the coming period, I need to focus in the Spirit Realm to resist the pollution from the starry sky. Everything about Trolian is in your hands."

"Remember, you must be cautious, do not venture rashly into darkness. We are already at humanity’s crossroads of destiny, and each step determines our future."

After saying this, the King transformed into a beam of Holy Fire and returned to the flame.

The massive, vigorous power departed, leaving only the burning Holy Fire in the vast Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

After a long time, Horus finally spoke, "The King is right; we need more Monarch Level and above strong individuals, especially the top-tier and great Monarch strong individuals. At this crossroads of destiny, we must seize more resources, and top-tier battle strength is the most crucial factor determining our future fate."

Rod clenched his fists, determining Trolian’s future fate would bring him unimaginable Divinity, as he seemed to see endless Golden Light flying towards him.

No matter what, I must become stronger quickly.
