CHAPTER 943: CHAPTER 497: SOUL DEVOURING KING’S INVASION

Tesrivian Calendar, the first month of 1326.

Day 20.

Rod opened his eyes.

The Dream Realm had already been engulfed by red light.

Walking out of the House of God, he immediately saw the Obelisk’s omen face, glowing red.

It flickered slowly, like a beating heart.

The Book of Knowledge came rushing from the distant Sun Tower, gleefully saying, "Master, I’ve done my utmost to repair the Dream Realm; we’ve never been this powerful."

Rod closed his eyes, and the Dream Realm gradually surfaced in his mind.

In sensation, it indeed felt more complete and stronger than before.

Especially the Sun Tower, it shone in the Dream Realm, giving the impression of a drawn sword, whereas before it was dull and decrepit.

"Book, how many Spirit Light Cannons does the Sun Tower have available now?"

The Book of Knowledge responded proudly, "Fifty."

Rod calculated mentally; one Spirit Light Cannon requires 4 units of Source Energy to activate, fifty cannons need 200 units of Source Energy, and fully functioning would require 300 units, far beyond the Dream Realm’s limit.

He couldn’t help but click his tongue, "How many souls did you use?"

"Four billion six hundred million!"

Rod glanced at the Obelisk, and indeed less than a hundred million Souls Without Spirit remained, feeling a twinge of pain: "...Why repair so much?"

With seriousness, the Book of Knowledge said, "Master, the Sun Tower is the main weapon of the Dream Realm, the most severely damaged. The Dream Realm’s power does not function smoothly here, causing loss and depletion. Although we can’t use so many Spirit Light Cannons for now, repairing it enhances the Dream Realm’s overall power."

It paused, speaking earnestly.

"In fact, any damage in the Dream Realm would reduce its power. From the whole perspective, we are still in a severely damaged state."

Rod’s heart sank, that inexplicable sense of unease returned. Though he was now unprecedentedly powerful and confident in defeating the Soul Devouring King, this feeling persisted, as if something crucial was missing.

After pondering for a long time without solution, Rod expressed his doubts to the Book of Knowledge.

Matters of great importance, not a bit must be neglected.

After a long recall, the Book of Knowledge couldn’t find anything suspicious either.

"The Dream Realm... currently has no hidden danger. I purposely hide the Dream Bubble in a patch of Yin Cloud in the Chaotic Sea, a highly concealed position, no threats nearby. It’s practically impossible for any mishap to arise during invasion. Myself, Aphro, the Book of the Future, all are normal, showing no signs of influence... Since the Divine Mirror began functioning, such things can’t happen anymore."

Rod glanced at Asa playing with yellow mud in the distance, whispered, "What about him? Could he cause trouble?"

The Book of Knowledge shook its head, "Impossible, he’s just a Spiritual Body, barely any Soul Body left, plus he’s confined and suppressed by the Dream Realm. Any schemes, if without power support, are merely jokes."

"Then could he steal power? Perhaps when we’re against strong enemies, distracted, he secretly runs to the Obelisk and seizes power belonging to him?"

The pages of the Book of Knowledge fluttered faster: "That’s utterly impossible, the magnificence of the Dream Realm is beyond your imagination. Of course, my memory is incomplete, the broken Dream Realm isn’t safe, this taboo cannot be expressed in any form... but I can tell you, such foolish actions would only lead him to a more tragic fate without exception."

Rod felt slightly relieved but, to be cautious, still said, "Lock him in the Crystal Wall of the Soul Altar, and release him after the invasion ends."

The Book of Knowledge flicked its pages, expressing agreement. The Crystal Wall has sealing effects, nothing safer than there.

Asa did not resist, merely snorted coldly and spontaneously burrowed into the Crystal Wall.

Rod suddenly remembered something, asked, "Book, do you think it could be that ancient evil thought called Amon?"

The Book of Knowledge pondered, "Even if he succeeds in reincarnating in Trolian, without a Divine Artifact like the Book of Destiny, he can’t affect the Dream Realm."

"Does the ancient evil thought have any special abilities?"

The Book of Knowledge shook its head, "No, their greatest peculiarity is immortality, even if crushed to dust, they regroup over long ages and are reborn with a soul. Though their memories might not be complete, the enduring hatred for humans and all living beings remains unchanged... their greatest threat is being indistinguishable; the souls formed by evil thoughts look no different from normal souls. Unless dissected in freezing state, they can’t be detected."

Rod pondered, "If he already knew of my existence, could he trigger a more powerful entity to attack us?"

The Book of Knowledge remained silent.

The Dark World is filled with threats, although the Dream Realm is in high-level Spirit Realm, such things aren’t entirely impossible.

Rod’s unease might just be an illusion under immense pressure, but it might also be his intuition.

High Rank combatant’s intuition cannot be ignored, especially when Rod is the master of the Dream Realm.

"Master, I cannot confirm this, but we can use a perfect method to shield it."

Rod was surprised, "What method?"

The Book of Knowledge said, "This patch of Yin Cloud in the Chaotic Sea itself has strong concealment. Hiding behind it can greatly avoid wandering Spirit Realm monsters, but it’s not one hundred percent, there’s still a chance of discovery... thus here constitutes a good and bad occurrence of an event. We can use ’Colorful Dreams’ to turn it into an absolutely good thing, reducing the possibility of bad occurrences."
