"Before the {Spirit Boat} is reignited, it only has 3 units of source energy, but after reaching its limit state, it has 2500 units of source energy. 1 unit of source energy requires 1 unit of strong source and 4 units of soul firewood, so you needed 2498 units of strong source and 9988 units of soul firewood."
"And {Time Wander} has 10 units of source energy, so the demand is slightly less. If it’s a giant star, with little ashes, the materials required for reignition are even less."
Rod was pleased inside. If that’s the case, the divinity needed for reigniting the stars could be further reduced, and stepping into quasi-king might really not be an issue.
"Master."
The Book of Knowledge said, "What we need to do now is to quickly find the {Tower of Ashes} in the dream realm. It is similar to the ’Heavenly Sphere Clock’; it can help us find the remaining ashes of the stars. As long as you gather the ashes of 25 stars, Master can reach the peak quasi-king realm."
Rod nodded. A star that has reignited all its ashes can provide 2500 units of source energy, which is equivalent to 25 units of root origin, and it can consolidate into 1 unit of primordial law in the constellation collection. If he can reignite 25 stars, he will have 25 units of primordial law.
This is the peak of living beings’ combat power since the ancient epoch.
Whether it was the ancient gods of the past or the powerful fire king, they reached this limit, but no one surpassed it. The Fire Saint Emperor may have taken half a step beyond but did not truly cross the line; he merely temporarily mastered this power using black fog.
Beyond that, no one has made it past the thunder pool by half a step.
"Can I do it?"
Rod murmured. He had already witnessed the power of a true king. Such strength can indeed protect humanity, safeguard human civilization, resist the upheaval of darkness, and brave the tide of black fog to overcome the calamity that concludes an epoch,
The Book of Knowledge excitedly flipped its pages, "Master, I vaguely remember how the dream realm reconstitutes primordial law. In fact, it is related to {Dark Devourer}. Give me a little more time, and I can recall all the details."
Rod looked at it in surprise, "Book, is it true that among the former masters of dreams, someone stepped into the realm of a true king?"
Based on the knowledge he currently possessed, no one had achieved the true king status.
The Book of Knowledge’s tone became solemn, "Master, this part of the memory is completely erased. Even if my soul is fully restored, it won’t come back. But I tend to believe that none of the master of dreams have stepped into the realm of a true king. Perhaps, there is a certain great terror encountered upon truly entering that realm."
At this time, the puppet spoke softly, "Master, I vaguely remember several masters of dreams perished due to ascending to a true king. Several chose to abandon the final ascension and instead helped others. The master of dreams needn’t be the strongest."
The Book of Knowledge said sternly, "Do not fully trust those words, Master. I believe you are different from previous masters of dreams. You are special, perhaps the dream realm chose you at this special time because you possess the ability to cross that final boundary."
It paused for a few seconds and then said,
"However, if you too cannot cross this boundary, you can follow some paths of the masters of dreams, develop as many ways as possible, cultivate more strong characters, and uplift human strength as much as possible."
"If my memory is correct, there are buildings in the dream realm capable of enhancing human power."
Rod nodded slightly and said solemnly, "I understand, I will do my best."
While saying this, his true thought was that he wanted to pursue both paths. Who says he cannot help humanity rise while also achieving true king? Perhaps after becoming a true king, he can assist humanity’s advancement even faster?
But these are matters for the future; regardless of the path he wishes to take, the prerequisite is that he must at least reach quasi-king level.
Now, what he needs to do is ignite new stars, reignite old ashes, and retrieve more dream fragments.
He must understand that the completeness of the dream realm so far is only 55%; he still has over half of the buildings to reclaim, and the realm is also his divine country. The deficit of the divine country has considerably weakened his power.
However, just when Rod was about to light the stars, he was stopped by the Book of Knowledge.
"Master, please wait a moment before using the buildings of the dream realm."
The Book of Knowledge said gravely, its tone filled with wisdom and assurance like never before.
"The dream realm is about to leave the {Nest of Destruction}; I must focus every energy of the dream realm to ensure the disturbance it causes is minimized and avoid unforeseen dangers—I have already noticed some signs. If we are not careful, we could face catastrophic disasters."
It paused for a moment and said,
"With our current strength, against an invasion above quasi-god level, we have no hope of victory."
Rod’s heart sank, "How long do we need?"
The Book of Knowledge replied, "Very soon, at most three days."
"Okay, I understand. Which is the next higher Spirit Realm area?"
"If nothing unexpected occurs, it’s the {Long Tower}."
Rod nodded. He remembered very clearly; out of the twelve higher Spirit Realm areas, only the {Long Tower} and the {Castle of Dead Souls} remain.
