CHAPTER 932: CHAPTER 493: OLD TRAGEDY AND NEW POWER

Mina pondered for a moment and then asked, "Why didn’t little Rod use his domain, even though he was clearly winning?"

"Not everyone is suited to using domains in battle. It demands a lot from the soul. Often, fighting with one’s own Source Law is the most efficient."

Mina listened, half understanding, half not. Her mind was focused on her new path, uninterested in what was being discussed, merely thinking about how to improve the 59th type of Mechanical Body to battle the Dark Stars before her.

The battle between Rod and the Dark Stars did not last long.

As an old adversary, Rod’s understanding of the Dark Stars was profound.

He was well aware of its hardened skull and knew exactly where its weak spot was.

The Red Giant targeted the weakness exclusively, and finally, before Spiritual Energy ran out, it cracked its skull and smashed the massive eyeball inside to pulp with a punch.

With its body destroyed, the Dark Stars had no power left to resist.

With a startling screech, the Dark Stars fell, transforming into countless black dust that dissipated into the air.

A great gray aura flew forth and merged into his chest.

[Soul of the Dark Stars]

[Extremely Great Soul]

[Possesses ten units of Source]

[Possesses fifty units of Nightmare Fuel]

[You’ve slain a Star’s undead for the second time; nightmares dissipate in fear, reducing the probability of Calamity Star Phases appearing.]

A golden script flashed by in the Star Square.

"About to obtain 10 Divinity points."

The script quickly vanished in the thick fog but was still seen by the Book of Knowledge.

"Hahaha, well done, Master! We’ve gained another 10 points of Divinity!"

The Red Giant evaporated into a mist, Rod knelt on the ground, panting heavily, with a tearing pain coming from his soul, his Spiritual Energy depleted, and very fatigued.

Fortunately, he did not use [Blank].

It’s best used in crucial moments due to its interval.

Not only did he refrain from spending Divinity, but he also earned 10 points.

Rod felt delighted and asked, "Book, why has the explanation text of the Dark Stars’ soul changed?"

The Book of Knowledge excitedly responded, "Master, you’ve triggered the feedback rules of the Dream Realm. You’ve accomplished a great feat; the Dark Stars are a scourge of the Spirit Realm, causing malicious Star Phases and accelerating the world’s descent into dark Abyss. You killed two Dark Stars, ridding the world of harm!"

Rod couldn’t help but crack a slight smile.

Unexpectedly, this was a stroke of good fortune, a huge gain.

The soul of the Dark Stars was a treasure trove, not only strong in itself but also possessed ten units of Source, almost enough for Rod to ignite a relatively strong Star.

And fifty units of Nightmare Fuel, which could craft two-thirds of "Colorful Dreams."

Having been stripped of Source and Nightmare Fuel, its remains could still be made into "Strong Soul Ashes."

The super-hard skull made it an exquisite projectile fodder, with five Great Demon Gods failing to break it in the past.

More importantly, with the death of the Dark Stars, the darkness in the Space was waning, revealing its true form, and Dream Fragments were calling him from the front!

Rod suppressed his ecstatic feelings and took out several Recovery Potions from the Dream Realm, drinking them in one go.

Mina rushed over, taking Rod’s shoulder and helping him stand.

After a moment, Rod felt somewhat recovered, but his head still dizzy, clearly due to excessive mental strain, so he did not resist Mina’s support.

At this point, the entire Main Hall unveiled itself before their eyes.

Rod’s first impression was that its front half resembled a colossal library, with the latter half being a chaotic potion-crafting workshop.

Scattered books and tools littered the floor.

Eighteen hundred years ago, my predecessor stayed here?

Rod contemplated while directing Mina to help him toward a central bizarre metal platform.

The Dream Realm’s attraction was emanating from the platform, but the platform seemed seamless, showing no openings.

Mina curiously touched it for a while, "This thing seems solid, wow, it’s so hard. Let me see, hmm... composed of Moon Gold, Sun Stone, and Wind Pattern Iron, but how to smelt it? What’s the proportion?"

Her characteristic allows her to analyze the composition of items and directly alter their structure.

Yet, no matter how much effort she exerted, the platform remained unchanged.

"So strange, why is that? I must understand its composition. With it, the strength of the 59th style Golem Mechanical Body can be further enhanced!"

Rod sensed clearly that the Dream Fragment was at the core of the platform, yet he couldn’t find an entrance.

The Book of Knowledge was also puzzled; it was encountering this situation for the first time.

"Do I have to break it?"

Rod pondered, reaching out to touch.

However, in the next instant, the whole platform erupted in brilliant white light.

Rod felt a warmth rush through his soul, something hot penetrating inside.

The strong light quickly subsided, and the platform had vanished.

Rod hastily glanced at the back of his hand, finding nothing.

The Book of Knowledge exclaimed within the Dream Realm, "It’s come to the Dream Realm!"

Rod immediately closed his eyes, with a flicker of thought, the scene within the Dream Realm unfolded before him.

He immediately saw the bizarre platform sitting right at the edge of the House of God.

"Book!"

Rod urgently asked, "What is going on? Why is this Dream Fragment different from the others? What is it for?"
