Chapter 1945: Chapter 865: The Ultimate Villain_3
No matter what, we must find the cause of the Black Fog’s birth and completely eradicate it.
However, he did not express this thought directly, instead using a speculative tone: "Everyone, have you ever considered that the quantization of this Black Fog cycle will completely erode the Sea of Source?"
The faces of everyone visibly darkened, and no one dared to say it was impossible.
Rod said solemnly, "Perhaps we might safely get through this cycle of catastrophe, or we might fall into eternal ruin. We cannot take risks, but neither can we abandon any chance of survival, simply waiting for death. I believe that what we must first achieve is surviving this extinction-level catastrophe, and under the premise of survival, we should find the cause of the Black Fog as far as possible and completely eliminate it."
Under the burning Holy Fire, Qingyu displayed a bright and clear smile.
"Little Rod is right, this is the path we must take next."
Without a doubt, no one opposed, and Rod’s words blew away everyone’s confusion like a gale.
Indeed, if we cannot survive the catastrophe, how can we talk about eliminating the Black Fog?
Only by first ensuring the survival of Trolian can we proceed with the next steps.
Once the path was determined, everyone began to actively present opinions and proposals.
The first thing to address, without question, is the settlement of over 3 billion immigrants. With Trolian’s current territorial range, it is enough to accommodate so many people, and with the capability of Primordial strongmen, rebuilding a city under the firelight doesn’t take long.
The Great Shepherd Leader believes that simply reconstructing 100 large cities within Trolian can house these immigrants, but while building cities is easy, consistently providing clean water and food is the real challenge. Trolian must immediately cultivate more Holy White Trees to purify the water sources and establish enough grain fields.
With Trolian’s current territory, it’s impossible to sustain so many people. Trolian must expand outward, or once the food stock is exhausted, humanity will fall into famine.
Beyond this, humans need more resources. Based on previous experiences, a civilization with 3 billion people sees an average of over a million passing through the Fire Trial each year. If the Holy Fire’s rank is higher, tens of millions aren’t impossible.
Such a large influx of new power requires a huge amount of potions and supplies. As they grow, their demand for supplies increases, and Trolian’s current resource output is far from sufficient.
Although these new powers need time to become top-tier forces, each new Fire Holder provides more fortune; the stronger Trolian becomes, the more fortune it amasses.
Moreover, Saint Longde has brought many strong individuals who also require resources.
Of course, the most crucial thing right now is enhancing Trolian’s combat strength. The Great Shepherd Leader and Bossivale have reached a consensus to devote maximum effort to achieving this.
Lastly, it’s about how to construct Trolian’s defense against the impending Black Fog tide.
In this regard, the Great Shepherd Leader already has an initial plan, with the key being the Star Marrow Altar.
Under his suggestion, Rod placed the critically important Star Marrow Altar beneath the Holy Fire, atop the Silver Ring.
A complete Star Marrow Altar can almost entirely shield all disturbances, far superior to the previous Black Fog Great Wall plan. The rising Spirit’s Curtain will become Trolian’s fortress. Different from before, Trolian will only leave the Royal City as a gap, and if everything goes well, they will resist the dark chaos under the Holy Fire’s illumination.
There’s no doubt this is the best option.
Additionally, the Great Shepherd Leader urgently hopes to further enhance Trolian’s Holy Fire. He tells Qingyu and Rod, "Saint Longde possesses complete knowledge and experience of the Holy Fire from the First to Sixth Rank. The key to advancing the Holy Fire lies in Fire Kindling; only with adequate Fire Kindling can advancement be achieved. Beyond the first Holy Fire Seed, the other Holy Fire Seeds essentially only provide a position. Regardless of the Holy Fire’s rank, fundamentally, there’s only one Holy Fire Seed, with the difference being the energy position level."
Rod asked in surprise, "Then what’s the tree diagram inside the Holy Fire?"
"That’s the completeness of the Holy Fire. It’s not about collecting ten Holy Fire Seeds to rekindle the Primordial Fire. In essence, Holy Fire Seeds are a special kind of Source Material, indestructible, only disappearing or transferring, and their number far exceeds ten."
Rod hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Then what’s the use of the contaminated Holy Fire Seed?"
The Great Shepherd Leader paused, his expression becoming somber: "Contaminated Holy Fire Seed will only ignite Black Fire. It’s a corroded Source Law, a corrupted Source Material, the most terrifying, evil existence. If you see it, you must throw it into the Void, where it’s farthest from humanity."
Rod’s heart sank; he thought purification might be possible. It seems the two contaminated Holy Fire Seeds in the Dream Realm are useless.
Nonetheless, despite discussing many things, the key is still enhancing combat strength.
If they are to survive, they must possess stronger power.
This topic sparked the most discussion among everyone. Every genius in Trolian was scrutinized and recorded in the Great Shepherd Leader and Bossivale’s notes.
Thus, the first assembly of all surviving human civilizations during the Dark Epoch lasted for nine clock hours, ending entirely only the next Morning.
Everyone quickly immersed themselves in their respective tasks, carrying extremely complex emotions.
Only Rod’s heart was unbearably heavy; only he understood what they were truly facing.
This was something countless strongmen had not achieved, and his only clue was the "extreme villain."
