Rhodes did not go back. Dalin asked him to stay at the Military War Department for the past few days, saying that he wanted to familiarize himself with the legion and war affairs in advance.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was very clear - he was about to take up a certain level position in the royal city.
This is also Theodore's arrangement.
The king kept his promise.
Rhodes was inexplicably excited, he finally took this step.
I will illuminate you.
Rhodes thought silently.
Just like you illuminate me.
The cold-looking female dispatch officer Molly arranged a room for him, gave him a crystal whistle for short-range psychic communication, and told him that if he needed anything, he could come to her at any time.
Rhodes simply washed up and went to bed.
This time he did not make any gestures, but meditated according to the method Theodore taught him, and entered the dream in the dream.
Darkness drowns the spirit, and absolute silence oppresses the eardrums.
After an unknown amount of time, Rhodes suddenly felt that he could open his eyes.
So, he once again saw the dream shrouded in the silent mist.
Everything about it is gray, like ashes after burning, and the concept of color has faded from everything.
Apart from the obelisk, it is the only thing with strong color in the dream.
Today's obelisk is more than ten yards high. It is located in the center of the dreamland. Below is the huge Star Square, surrounded by huts and altars. In the distance is a white jade square, with the statue of Theodore standing on it.
Up.
No matter how many times he saw it, Rhodes couldn't help but marvel at its magic. It was like a creation that brought together all miracles, bringing him a new life and endless possibilities, as well as death and crisis.
But what it is, Rhodes still doesn't know yet. He only knows that dreams actually have boundaries, and that they are floating in the river of eternal death in the spiritual world.
The crisis he is currently facing requires him to leave the River of Eternal Death.
However, he still doesn't know how to leave. He originally thought he would get dream fragments in this mission, but in fact he didn't.
Did I guess wrong? The president actually didn’t think that far ahead?
However, when Rhodes walked into the hut, he immediately discovered that there was one more thing in the hut, a long sterling silver platform at the bottom of the house, far opposite the stone platform at the front.
There was a silver mist-like ball suspended on the silver platform. When Rhodes touched it, he immediately got its information in his mind.
Tower of Light.
Rhodes' eyes widened instantly. Isn't this the tool that the Book of Knowledge said can control dreams?
When did I get the fragment?
Rhodes recalled the situation carefully and found no opportunity to obtain fragments.
Dream fragments have a strong attraction for him, and it is impossible not to notice them.
The only possibility is the gap between death and resurrection.
But unless there happens to be a fragment at the site of his resurrection, it's hard to imagine how it was done.
Okay.
Rhodes thought for a while and let it go.
Anyway, as long as the chief dean is great.
What we have to do now is to quickly control the dream to leave the River of Eternal Death and get rid of the invasion of the ancient god Heragetos.
But how to do it?
Rhodes tried to control the Light Platform, but there was no response.
He went to ask about the book of knowledge, but this guy had not recovered from his last rage and refused to open the pages of the book.
When he was at a loss what to do, Rhodes suddenly remembered the book angrily telling him last time not to touch the back of the book.
Hmm, maybe you can try it.
So Rhodes touched the back of the book frantically, and sure enough, the book opened with a bang and the pages flipped. He seemed very angry, but he couldn't write a word.
It seems that if I don’t ask a question, it can’t answer.
Rhodes thought to himself and asked: "How to operate the Light Tower?"
A large amount of garbled characters suddenly appeared on the Book of Knowledge, and the speed was so fast, it was like a programmer smashing the keyboard.
It wasn't until most of the garbled text was read through that the normal dream text appeared.
"You shameless scoundrel! Villain! Demon!"
Each word occupies a whole page and is bold and bold.
Rhodes smiled and said: "Answer my question, otherwise I will hold you and touch you every day, during the day, at night, and even when you sleep. I will touch not only the back of the book, but also the front, back, and the seams under the pages." The book of knowledge looked like it was going crazy. All the pages were shaking and making rattling sounds. I wanted to jump up and slap him to death with a book.
Rhodes smiled and said: "I'll ask again, how to operate the Light Platform? You don't have to answer."
Finally, the book of knowledge calmed down, and a line of scrawled text appeared on the page.
"The book of knowledge must answer the master's questions, but I can fill it in with invalid answers. You must promise to feed me a hundred portions of spirituality every day, otherwise I will never give in."
Rhodes smiled and said: "Okay, I promise." He took out a hundred spirits from the storage place under the stone platform and fed it to it.
The Book of Knowledge swallowed the spirituality with its mouth made of patterns on the cover. It looked much calmer and answered when Rhodes asked the question again.
"Infuse your spirituality into the silver core of the Light Tower."
"My spirituality? Is it in danger?"
"Spirituality is the blood of the soul, responsible for transmitting the power of the soul and the will of the spirit. As long as it is not used excessively, there is no danger."
"How can I get my spirituality out?"
"Pierce the soul with the thorn of the spirit." The Book of Knowledge details the method of separating one's own spirituality.
The method is not difficult and Rhodes mastered it quickly.
Looking at the translucent sticky substance seeping out from his fingertips, he felt truly magical.
"So it can still be like this. In this way, spiritual objects and spiritual materials all have souls?"
"No, they just have similar properties and can transmit spiritual energy or the will of the soul. But in essence, the formation of spiritual matter is somewhat similar to that of the soul."
Rhodes patted the back of the book and said with a smile: "I understand, thank you, Book of Knowledge."
One word was written on the book of knowledge: "Huh!" and it closed with a bang.
Rhodes put the book of knowledge back on the bookshelf and came to the stage of light.
Pierce the soul according to the method you just learned, and apply your spirituality to the silver ball.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The silver ball gave off a misty light, and Rhodes felt a strong attraction pulling on his soul.
My eyes suddenly darkened, as if I had fallen into a black hole.
When his vision returned, Rhodes found that he was traveling through the endless sky.
Smoke, thin clouds, and light groups shining with various colors passed quickly by.
Under the boundless clouds and mist, there is an extremely huge river, which stretches across the sky, with no head visible at one end and no tail visible at the other. Countless gray water vapor surges in the river, and there are countless skeletons and ghosts in the water vapor.
The corpse was floating and struggling.
Rhodes instantly realized that this was the River of Eternal Death! The ancient god Heragetos was silent in the depths of the River of Death!
He looked around and saw that everything was foggy, with clouds and smoke covering the sky and the earth.
This was different from the spiritual world he had seen before. There were no messy patches of color or thick bands of light. The smoke was so light that he could see far away.
Is this the upper echelon of the spiritual world?
Rhodes lowered his head and looked at himself. A translucent spherical bubble was flying forward. Inside the bubble was a rolling mist of chaos. Its color was dim and gray, as if it had lost its color, but it was dense and condensed, making it difficult to see.
To the depths.
Is this a dream?
Is it just an empty bubble that shuttles through the endless sky in the spiritual world?
Rhodes tried to control it, and the cavitation bubble changed its direction, and the surrounding smoke and clouds were disturbed and spread outward.
Deep in the endless dead river, a huge shadow flashed past.
Rhodes felt a chill in his heart, as if something indescribable was staring at it. Thinking of the many anomalies in the dream, as well as the invasion of gangrene that attached to the bone, he was afraid that the existence of the dream would not be tolerated by this world.<
/p>
He quickly changed back to the direction of the bubble, thinking to himself: "I must pay attention to concealment and not make too much disturbance, so as not to be targeted by some unknown existence."
However, the higher levels of the spiritual world are boundless. It is like floating in the nebula of the universe. The dead river below stretches across the stars like the Milky Way. There is no end or depth in sight.
I'm surrounded by confusion and can't find my direction.
However, Rhodes soon realized that the dream originally came from the "Abyss of Darkness" to the "River of Eternal Death".
Then, wouldn’t it be possible to leave the “River of Eternal Death” just by flying back in the direction?
But is there enough time?
While hesitating, Rhodes suddenly saw a faint trail left behind where the bubbles flew. The farther away, the bigger the trail expanded.
Uh... does this mean that as long as I fly forward, the impact will become greater and greater?
Rhodes decisively turned the bubble around and flew back along its wake.
Then, he was surprised to find that the speed of the cavitation bubbles was getting faster and faster, as if they were gliding on a smooth track.
In just a moment, its speed was at least ten times faster than before.
Rhodes frowned.
The phenomena of the spirit world and dreams are far beyond his knowledge system.
I have to quickly take the time to go to the big library mentioned by the chief dean to check the information.
Maybe it will help.
Rhodes watched the dream fly for a moment, and then retreated after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
When Rhodes returned to the hut, he didn't feel anything special. The light platform stopped glowing after he removed his finger, but the sight of flying bubbles could still be seen on the silver core.
Until he left, the dream was still accelerating.
From this point of view, there is definitely enough time. In a few days, he will leave the "River of Eternal Death" and return to the "Abyss of Darkness".
Rhodes felt relieved for the time being, and the crisis caused by "quantification" was finally over.
Then, he looked around the dream.
The five newly added items on the stone platform, including [Flesh Puppet], [Flesh Armor], [Soul Defense], [Kales Temperature Heavy Cannon], and [Herald of Destruction], can be made if you find a way to make them.
His trump card.
The supplies in the storage room are still sufficient, but the spiritual consumption is a bit high, so we need to pay attention to replenishing.
Six stars shined in the obelisk. The "quantified" [Dark Devourer] has become the brightest star in the night sky. The dark red light is fixed in the center of the starry sky, like a huge giant looking at him.
Eyes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Rhodes feels that its light is gradually increasing.
The other three stars have also reached the "Eternal Fire" state. If you can find "Ashes of the Ancient God", "God's Blood Gem" and "Spirit World Core", [Bitter Blue], [Justice Execution] and [Spirit Boat] can also be found.
There is quantification”.
But this is not something that can be done now.
The other two stars [Elegy of the Spirit] and [Sense of the Gods] are still in the "Gloomy Fire" state.
Without "soul firewood", they cannot be upgraded.
But making soul firewood requires divinity.
Rhodes frowned slightly and looked at the method of obtaining divinity again:
[Increase the possibility of inheriting the fire of civilization and support the civilization sliding into the dark abyss.]
I have completed two major tasks in a row, but have I not lifted up human civilization at all?
Rhodes found it difficult to understand.
After he killed Gregor and ended the trial, he gained a little divinity.
Are these two tasks not as good as killing Gregor?
Without divinity, not only cannot the stars be upgraded, but important items such as the "Resurrection Stone" cannot be produced.
Just wait.
Rhodes thought.
Maybe after the battle is over, divinity will arrive.
After that, Rhodes looked at the Evil Stone Jar, the Soul Altar, the Evil Egg, and Theodore's statue, but there were no big changes.
The only pity is that he didn't gain much soul this time. The phantom of the chief dean didn't seem to belong to him, and the monsters it killed had nothing to do with him.
Except for a few soul fragments, there is only one [soul of Mits, the King of Thieves].
Rhodes went back to ask questions to the Book of Knowledge.
The book is much more honest now, and it tells him that the most complete soul, in addition to being devoured and sacrificed, can also be destroyed and burned.
"Destruction" will destroy the soul, allowing it to gain one of its best abilities, which lasts for a star cycle, that is, seven days.
Rhodes thought, isn't what the King of Thieves is best at stealing?
Yes, this function is very useful and you can consider it in the future.
Rhodes sacrificed all the fragments, added his soul to the stars, and glanced at the numbers on the obelisk:
Soul Strength:
Soul Star:6
Humanity:
Divinity:6
Soulless Soul:0
I feel a little satisfied, but also a little worried.
He let out a long breath and felt that he had gained a lot this time. He had initially touched the essence of the dream, avoided the threat of the invasion of the ancient gods, and successfully adjusted the book of knowledge.
The only problem is that there is a huge lack of divinity and no trump card.
You have to work hard.
My future is definitely bright.
Rhodes smiled slightly, returned to the rocking chair, fell into a dreamless and sweet sleep, and hid the last sentence in his heart.
