Chapter 1947: Chapter 867: Prophecy and the Initial Fire (Part 2)
Rod felt a chill in his heart; completing the prophecy about the archvillain was no small task, with each part being complex.
Fortunately, the Great Shepherd quickly discovered that Iyeta, the Master of the White Tower, was also a Life of Man.
"His soul has a characteristic dual Soul Ripple," the Great Shepherd confirmed. "This is the Soul Ripple of an Ancient God."
Iyeta touched his bald head in surprise, "I always thought my exceptional prophetic talents were my own gifts, turns out they were also a gift of destiny... Alas, what a pity."
Rod frowned and asked, "A [dual] Soul Ripple? Does every Life of Man have it?"
The Great Shepherd shook his head, "No, not necessarily. For example, Your Excellency Rod, you don’t have it, neither does Alain, the First Knight of Trolian, but whoever has this characteristic is definitely a Life of Man, like Iyeta, like Rhein."
Iyeta sighed, "There were people who thought I was special, but I never noticed, there’s really no difference between me and others..."
The Great Shepherd’s face darkened instantly. This was not good news; it meant that Iyeta’s path was extremely difficult to find, and without finding the right path and key nodes, the enhancement of a Life of Man is extraordinarily slow.
Rod was not worried, as long as Asa regains control of the Evil Thought Space, they can decipher everything about the Life of Man on the Evil Thought Stele, then Iyeta’s advancement will no longer be difficult.
For now, he had to wait. Asa was digesting the devoured Evil Thought Element, and on the other side, the Book of Eternity was in slumber on the bookshelf.
Meanwhile, the Dream Realm was nearing the edge of the "Nest of Destruction," and the Book of Knowledge was fully concentrated on controlling the Dream Bubble, striving to safely leave the "Nest of Destruction."
It seems that the wait will soon be over.
Rod was not anxious; perhaps these were his last peaceful moments, but he was not without tasks. In fact, Rod was quite busy, "peaceful" was merely relative.
After handling some urgent matters, Rod quickly returned to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, where both the Great Shepherd and Solos were present.
They were about to undertake a very important task—enhancing the power of the King of Trolian. As the Guardian of the Holy Fire, Qingyu’s strength directly affects the Holy Fire. The Great Shepherd informed them that from the fourth stage of the Holy Fire onward, the Guardian of Fire must possess the corresponding strength, otherwise, the Holy Fire cannot possibly advance.
The Holy Fire of Trolian requires Qingyu to reach at least the second stage of Primordial, which means possessing at least 6 parts of the Primordial Law.
Currently, Qingyu has just entered the Primordial stage, possessing only 1 part of the Primordial Law, a significant gap remains.
In every aspect, enhancing Qingyu’s strength was an urgent matter.
Due to the existence of the Holy Fire, the advancement of the Guardian of Fire is the simplest and easiest, and in the first stage of the Primordial, the pressure from the Sea of Source is not substantial. Generally, if resources are sufficient, Qingyu can swiftly break through to the second stage of Primordial.
But the reality shocked the Great Shepherd; the Sea of Source’s rejection of Qingyu has reached an unprecedented level, even with the power of the Holy Fire, she struggles to obtain 1 part of the Root Origin from the Sea of Source.
Under the burning Holy Fire, Qingyu lowered her head like a little girl who had done something wrong, "I’m sorry, I tried to compete for the Root Origin in the Sea of Source with the power of the Holy Fire as you instructed, but the resistance was too great..."
Solos slightly shook his head, "Your Majesty, this is not your fault; the resistance from the Sea of Source has surpassed the normal state."
"How can this be?"
The Great Shepherd muttered, "Such an intensity of pressure should be at the fourth stage at least, and this peculiar sense of rejection, it’s as if the Sea of Source is specifically targeting you."
Rod pondered, "Could it be because Qingyu is now the only Guardian of Fire left? In the vast Sea of Black Fog, only this light of Trolian remains, so naturally, the pressure is focused on her."
The Great Shepherd’s eyes lit up, "Yes, Your Excellency Rod is right, that must be the reason. The Black Fog’s target on the Guardian of Fire is persistent. Previously, the King of Yarno and the King of Saint Longde shared the pressure, but now that only Your Majesty Qingyu remains, the pressure she bears is naturally several times more than before."
Qingyu asked softly, "Then what should we do? If I cannot advance, the Holy Fire cannot advance, and Trolian will face greater pressure."
Rod was silent for a few seconds, suddenly looking at the burning Holy Fire. He knew that the king’s ashes were within the Holy Fire, along with the Source Heavenly God Throne.
"Again!"
Rod resolutely said.
"Once more."
Qingyu smiled, stepping onto the ritual again.
The flames of the Holy Fire encircled her, she closed her eyes, and under the guidance of the ritual, her spirit once again entered the Sea of Source. Solos unleashed his Divine Power to navigate for her, while the Great Shepherd conducted the ritual, guiding her direction.
Everything was exactly as before.
But then, within the Sea of Source, a tremendous storm arose. Enormous resistance surged from all directions, countless ripples hindering Qingyu’s spirit, Rod could even faintly sense a decaying, fallen aura.
