Rhodes was stunned for a moment, Queen of Stars? Core
Isn’t she from the Star Clan?
Being favored by the stars, he is born with the characteristics of stars, has an extremely long lifespan, and also has the characteristics of eternal fire, making him a born king.
This is what the remnant spirit of the Queen of Stars told him in a dream.
During the process of cleaning up Star City, Rhodes informed the investigators of this information in various ways, but only hid the content related to the dream.
Why did Wang suddenly mention this?
It’s impossible for Wang Cheng not to know that she has dual soul characteristics.
Could it be...core
Rhodes frowned. He suddenly remembered that the Star Queen became the king of the Star Kingdom because Tasnia, the first Lord of the Stars and one of the five human heroes, tried to ignite the fire of apotheosis and failed.
Forced to return to the Holy Fire.
At that time, the young queen ascended the throne with the help of the former Lord of Dreams, Hegeor, stabilized the situation, and supported the Kingdom of Stars.
Could it be that what Wang is really referring to is a dream?
But, how did he know?
Moreover, dreams are a completely independent system. Even if I have dreams, I can’t resonate with the Holy Fire?
Rhodes looked at Wang with doubts and said hesitantly: "I don't know... doesn't she have both the stars and the eternal fire characteristics?"
Wang showed a faint smile.Xin
"Yes, but not accurate."
"In the ongoing investigation of the mysterious man's hidden place, the great scholar Amides has discovered some very secret information."
Rhodes' heart sank, the mysterious man was Hege Or, and the secret place was the inner temple where He Ge Or was imprisoned.
Due to the lack of key information, Wang Cheng did not know that he was the Lord of Dreams. He only thought that he might be a mysterious and powerful man from the Age of Fire who had a special relationship with the Queen of Stars and was instrumental in the establishment and development of the early Star Kingdom.
It will have an impact.
"The scholars in the royal city deciphered this information, and we sorted it out based on the existing knowledge and clues, and confirmed that he was the person who rescued the young Star Queen from the destroyed Asdegas, the City of Hope." p>
"But the Queen of Stars at that time only had the characteristics of stars."
Rhodes was shocked and lost his voice: "This is impossible."
"This is truly unbelievable."
Horus said in a deep voice.
"At first, like you, we thought this was impossible, but after checking it many times, we did not find any errors or mistranslations. Instead, we found more supporting evidence... The legend is true."<
/p>
Legend?
Rhodes didn't know what he was talking about, so he just listened to Wang's voice and continued.
"The mysterious man did not initially foresee that she would become the queen of the stars. He made a special trip to rescue her for a reason that we cannot understand. It seems that it can bring him some benefit."
"After rescuing the Queen of Stars, the mysterious man originally planned to assist Tasnia in establishing a new human kingdom, but things developed beyond his expectation." Core
"Faced with some kind of horrific crisis, Tasnia refused to listen to his dissuasion and tried to perform an extremely dangerous ritual. In the end, his insistent ritual failed, his soul split, and the newly established Starry Kingdom fell into great turmoil.
Among."
"The mysterious man was forced to use an ancient ritual to extract Tasnia's soul attribute block and transfer the eternal fire attribute into the soul of the Queen of Stars."
"Due to some taboo reasons, he changed the memory of the Queen of Stars, hid this fact, and even extracted his own memory, solidified it using a special method, and hid it in the gaps of his bones.
Maybe I want to retrieve this memory in the future."
Wang's voice became deeper.
"Unfortunately, he died due to unknown reasons. In his skull, we found exhausted memories engraved on the bones, and then found more fragments of dried memories in the hidden place. They were all engraved on tiny pieces of dust.
On the ashes of the dead."
"It's hard for me to imagine why such a person was crushed to ashes, with only his skull being made into a candlestick."
Horus took a step forward, his voice filled with bone-chilling anger for the first time. Core
"It must be that ancient evil idea! The doomsday cultists hidden in the Kingdom of Stars killed this unknown hero."
"If he is hiding in Trorian, I will definitely find him and let him reincarnate in the torture of his soul forever."
Rhodes also felt chilled in his heart. He knew more about the inside story than they did.
He could fully imagine and even empathize with the anger with which Hegeor, whose dream was shattered, died tragically at the hands of Amon.
But what worries him even more is that the eternal fire characteristic can be "transferred"?
And listening to the meaning of their words, it is obviously not the kind of transplantation of the spirit bearer, but a complete acquisition similar to Kashan's "Seed of Wrath".
But Kashan's "Seed of Anger" is a special case. Only people of Kashan's lineage can inherit the power of this soul trait. Core
When others try to assimilate, they will only become confused and go crazy.
The soul is the foundation of the existence of all living things, and the characteristics of the soul are the traces of the original law left by the soul at the beginning of its formation.
If you want to acquire new characteristics, you must change your soul and carve a new trajectory.
But no matter in any era, changing the soul is an extremely dangerous thing. If you are not careful, it will lead to madness.
Even people like Kashan who are connected by blood and have similar souls can only get a "fire" change, and she also took a huge risk for this.
Transferring a soul's characteristics is equivalent to changing the imprinted trajectory inside the entire soul.
This is impossible. Core
Rhodes asked doubtfully: "King, is this really possible? That kind of ritual that can transfer characteristics?"
"It's certainly possible."
Wang's voice was very calm.
"Eternal Burning Fire is a very special characteristic. It does not conflict with any other characteristics. Among the kings of Trolian in the past, there are a few people who have two characteristics, but there has never been a person with dual characteristics.
negative impact."
"Some people believe that eternal burning fire is the power given by fire to its agent in the human world, and represents the will of fire. Therefore, it is compatible with any characteristics. After fully mastering its power, it can simulate other characteristics.
Power is because it is the root power that overrides all characteristics."
"The truth of this theory cannot be verified, but the eternal burning fire can indeed be regarded as an independent special system."
Wang paused and continued.
"The legend of the Hidden Fire One can be traced back to the First Dynasty thousands of years ago. On some ancient stone tablets, you can still find the words about the protector of the country, the fire monitor, and the hidden fire person." p>
"For the successive kings of Trolian, this is an ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation, and its authenticity cannot be doubted."
"We had the same doubts as you about this."
"If the Hidden Fire One really exists, how can he inherit the throne when the holder of the eternal burning fire has passed away?"
Wang looked at Rhodes, his golden eyes were burning, as if there was something deeper hidden in them.
"Now, we know."
Rhodes remained silent, understanding that the king was referring to the ancient ritual. Core
The significance of the existence of the Hidden Fire One is that when the king dies unexpectedly and there is no successor in the kingdom, this ritual can be used to seize the "eternal fire" characteristic of the king's soul, inherit the throne, protect the holy fire, and avoid turmoil in the kingdom. However, he still doesn't understand.
"King, why did you suddenly choose me to become the Hidden Fire One? Weren't you in your heyday?"
Wang replied calmly: "No, my life is not stable and there is a risk of death at any time."
Rhodes was shocked: "Why? What's wrong with you?"
Wang smiled faintly: "I used a secret method to take out my heart. As the final weapon in the battle of Star City, it has completed its mission and turned into ashes."
"Although I used spiritual energy to recast a heart, the origin of life has been damaged. The king's body is no longer complete, and the soul begins to turmoil. I have a premonition that I will return to the Holy Fire and my soul to heaven soon." Rhode's heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and a biting chill spread from the bottom of his heart, making his whole body cold.
"This...this is not necessarily the case."
He tried his best to deny this fact and barely found an explanation.
"Maybe it's just your illusion? You know, intuition may not be effective in many cases..."
The smile on Wang's face grew bigger, and Rhodes even felt that he was smiling a little happily, which made him very confused and even a little angry.
"Little Rhodes, I didn't expect you to care so much about my life and death..."
Rhodes said with a somewhat stiff tone: "You are our king and the guardian of the Holy Fire, how can I not care?"
The king said in a relaxed tone: "I originally thought that you...well, just regarded me as a powerful elder. Well, I was wrong. However, as the King of Trolian, my intuition does not come randomly.
, it cannot be ignored."
"After my spirit was touched by this idea, I immediately asked Meredith to verify for me that the White Tower's prophecy of origin was not yet ready, but it had begun to take shape. Meredith had consumed part of the power of the prophecy of origin.
, made a prophecy for me."
"The prophecy shows that I will encounter an extremely dangerous bad luck in the near future. My life will probably end in that bad luck, and there will be a huge gap in the trajectory of my destiny."
"It was so obvious that Meredith had never seen it."
"So."
Wang smiled, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"I disappoint you. My hunch was correct." Core
"And this is why I suddenly decided to choose the candidate for Hidden Fire."
Rhodes felt that his blood was rushing through his body like ice water. Trolian had just started to improve, and mankind's fate finally had a good turn. The king of Trolian was about to fall? p>
Wang's strength has always been his strongest psychological support.
After seeing so many powerful invaders in his dreams, he had no idea about the fate of Trorian and mankind. Before he truly grew up, his only comfort was that they had an incredibly powerful king. p>
But now, Wang is about to return to the Holy Fire.
And his successors, Qingyu, Jon, and Xingge, no matter which one they are, are too young and immature, and are too far behind the king.
Rhodes didn't want to believe this fact, but he had to face it. Core
"King...even if this is true, we still have three successors...the establishment of the Hidden Fire One does not seem necessary."
Wang showed a faint smile.
"Rhode, you know, they are far from enough. The Holy Fire is now far more powerful than before. They must become Herrschers and master the source of fire in order to fully control the Holy Fire. Otherwise, they can only play a very limited role.
With a small amount of power, Trollian will suffer serious losses."
"In this case, the establishment of the Hidden Flamers is very necessary. This is a system formulated by the great human hero Trorian."
"And I think you would be the most suitable candidate."
"After my death, if none of them meet the requirements to inherit the throne, it can be directly regarded as the end of the line, and you will be the next king until they are qualified to sit on the throne."
"Do you understand?"Xin
The sound fell, and the sacred fire sacrificial site became eerily quiet.
Wang looked at Rhodes, something flickering in his burning eyes.
I don't know why, but Rhodes always feels that this is not the only reason.
However, he could not refuse and could only ask in a hoarse voice: "King, do you know how to perform that ancient ceremony?"
Wang slightly chins his head.
"Scholars have restored all its needs and detailed processes from exhausted memories. This is a powerful spiritual transformation ceremony. It is simply an incredible miracle, as if it was specially created to transfer the eternal fire."
"If something unexpected happens to me, I will try my best to keep my soul intact. Horus will hold this ceremony to dig out the characteristics of my soul and give it to your soul." Xin
"In this way, you will have the characteristics of eternal burning fire. It will be the highest level, only half a step away from the source law. You only need to complete its quantification to resonate with the holy fire."
"Even if it cannot be completed, it doesn't matter. The highest level of eternal burning fire is enough to exert most of the power of the holy fire. As long as you act carefully and maintain a balance, Trorian can maintain the status quo."
"If one of them breaks through and masters the law of fire, then you will help him become the king."
"This is the best plan we and the White Tower have jointly determined to deal with future crises."
After Wang finished speaking, Rhodes' mood became very complicated.
He never expected that he would accept such an important mission just after returning to the royal city.
The destiny trajectory he expected has undergone strange changes. Core
If things really develop as the king said, wouldn't he be the next new king of Trolian?
Rhodes suddenly felt a little panicked and said softly: "King, I know your considerations, but I am not prepared. My qualifications are too young. Except for the battle of Star City, everything I have done is insignificant.
..."
"No!"
Wang looked at him seriously.
"Everything you did was to save Trolian. Without your existence, many things would be unimaginable. You saved many people's lives and changed the fate of Trolian."
"Many times, I have a feeling that you are an angel sent by the will of fire to save us. Your achievements cannot be denied, your position is well-deserved, and you will last forever." p>
Suddenly, Rovia took the lead and shouted: "Rhodes from Red Rock Village will never return!" Xin
"The black rice bucket will last forever!"
Even Alan was no exception. He smiled and said: "Rhodes is the best rising star I have ever seen. His qualifications are far better than mine, and his future achievements will be far greater than mine."
Everyone clapped and looked at Rhodes with smiles and encouragement.
Even the Dark Moon Princess and the Red Queen, who had ignored him before, were the same.
Rhodes was excited, excited, and a little unhappy at the same time. Just shout if you want. Why call out the black bastard, but not the red God of War?
"But."
Wang paused and completed the turning point with two words. 心
"There is another problem. To complete the spirit transformation ceremony, we still lack a core material."
"A drop of perfect star source."
Rhodes was shocked. The star source is a strange element condensed by the power of stars. However, the star source they have obtained so far is only the lowest level. It can only be used as a potion to strengthen the soul and does not have those magical abilities.
The high-level star source can not only strengthen the soul, but also give the soul the characteristics of stars. This is the source of the rapid growth of the Starry Kingdom - all the strong men in the kingdom have star characteristics, without exception.
But this is still not the most perfect star source, there is a higher star source, which is purer and more powerful.
The purest and highest star source is called the perfect star source.
The Queen of Stars once told him that they could only obtain the lowest star source because part of the Ten Thousand Stars Instrument was missing and its power was lost. Core
If you want to obtain a purer and more perfect star source, you have to go to a place called "Fortress of Terror".
"Where are we going?"
Rhodes did not say the name directly.
Wang nodded slightly and did not mention it in a tacit agreement. For such sensitive beings, it is best not to say it directly to avoid triggering taboos.
If it is a more sensitive existence, then it cannot even be mentioned. Any form of expression is prohibited and can only be thought in the soul.
"The Survey Corps already has some clues. Some scholars dug up its existence among old papers. We are further searching for clues about it. I believe it won't take long."
Rhodes was excited and even a little impatient. He now has many trump cards, possesses more than a thousand divinities, and is so powerful that he can be called invincible. Core
A lot can be accomplished before the next invasion comes.
Wang's expression turned serious and he said in a deep voice.
"Before this, we still have an important action."
"The prophecy of the source that the White Tower has prepared for a long time is a very important prophecy for us. It has a very important impact on our future destiny and path choice. However, due to various reasons, the prophecy of the source is still lacking more than destiny.
Relevant materials."
"Not long ago, the Survey Corps and the White Tower determined that Anosadag, the ancient god of destiny, seemed to have been dismembered, and a large piece fell into the ancient city of Sagus."
"We need to set out again, expedition to the ancient city of Sagus, obtain this fragment, and help Meredith completely complete the prophecy of the source."
Rhodes's heart moved, the ancient city of Sagus? Isn't that the place where the Book of Destiny was found? Core
