Chapter 965: Chapter 507: Cleansing Starry Sky City (Part 2)
And the Exile Seal to the Spiritual Realm they created can directly banish monsters to the Spiritual Realm.
If this monster doesn’t have the ability to cross the boundary, it will be permanently stranded in the Spiritual Realm.
Although it’s likely to be dissolved and assimilated by the Spiritual Realm, transforming into a Spiritual Realm monster, at least the crisis is averted at that moment.
Even if it has the ability to cross back from the Spiritual Realm to the Material World, it cannot return immediately. Crossing the boundary takes time and will trigger significant vibrations, giving the disadvantaged warriors enough time to regroup or retreat comfortably.
The key point is that once the monster is exiled to the Spiritual Realm, it becomes exposed to the firepower range of the dreamscape.
As long as Rod marks the monster, regardless of where it’s exiled to in the Spiritual Realm, the Spirit Realm Strike can attack it.
If luck is on his side, and the monster gets banished to the outer or higher layers of the Spiritual Realm, then Rod can directly use the Sun Tower to blast it into oblivion.
The Spiritual Realm, after all, is his home turf.
The Thunder Fire Bomb is also extremely useful, with its ingredients being quite straightforward: 1 billion souls, 100 Thunder Stones, and you can make a powerful missile.
As long as its power is within Rod’s imagined scope, it can be mass-produced, used by Rod in emergencies.
——
After submitting two formulas and a book, the pattern on the back of Rod’s hand finally became clear.
It was a tombstone-shaped block, inscribed with dreamscape text: "Those who rest here shall shine in eternity."
This was a dreamscape pattern never seen before, certainly representing a new construction.
Rod was excited, walking out of the House of God, about to wander in the dreamscape when the back of his hand began trembling again.
Could it be right here?
A thought flashed through Rod’s mind, and the gray mist on the back of his hand broke out, landing beside the House of God.
As the gray mist dissipated, a green tombstone stood in the corner.
The tombstone was a standard long-bodied round top, its edges engraved with intricate patterns, the surface gray, seemingly weathered after countless ages, numerous long scratches descending from top to bottom, obliterating most of the possible information on the tombstone.
But at the bottom of the scratches, there was a line of bright red text, incredibly conspicuous on the dim and damaged tombstone.
"Rod of Trolian"
This is my name!
Rod widened his eyes, unbelievably staring at this line of text.
It used dreamscape language, clearly pointing the name’s owner towards him.
Moreover, it used a special prefix—"of Trolian"
Rod’s real full name was "Rod of Redstone Village", although hardly anyone called him that anymore, but in the Royal City’s archive info, it was under that name unless he changed it, any official records would use this full name.
Why change to "Trolian"?
Does this indicate I belong to the Trolian Kingdom?
Why is my name on this tombstone? What does it represent?
If this is its naming rule, then the scratches above my name, are they of the dreamscape’s previous owner?
Most importantly, what purpose does it serve?
Numerous questions flashed through Rod’s mind, and he stepped forward to gently touch the tombstone.
The cold sensation transmitted from his fingers, but no special information was forthcoming, nor the tombstone’s purpose understood.
Rod furrowed his brows, is it because this tombstone-shaped dreamscape structure is yet incomplete?
Does it require repairs or more fragments to restore it?
Unfortunately, the Book of Knowledge and the puppets had fallen silent, otherwise they would certainly know.
Rod was slightly regretful.
Can only wait for them to wake up and then inquire them.
Hopefully soon.
Rod glanced a bit uneasily at the ominous signs on the distant Obelisk, it flickered slightly, presenting a restless red.
Although a new invasion hasn’t appeared yet, it should soon come.
The dreamscape clearly still lurks in the chaotic sea’s Yin clouds, waiting to repair before determining its next destination.
Rod faintly felt that he was very close to the truth, perhaps greeting him would be an unprecedented new situation.
What exactly is the dreamscape? What’s its purpose?
These two questions that lingered in his heart would soon have their real answers.
"Hope you wake up soon."
Rod thought silently, turning around and leaving the dreamscape.

In the subsequent time, Rod madly pursued divinity.
Indeed, Starry Sky City was a treasure trove, containing many relics and treasures, not only researchers, archaeologists, academic masters gained countless riches.
And by courtesy of this, Rod obtained massive amounts of divinity.
During the five days of stellar brilliance, Rod averaged 15 to 20 points of divinity per day.
Added with the 60 points from killing the Great Demon God and King of Worms, within seven days combined, acquired 140 points of divinity, plus the 4 drops of Star Source contributed by the Star Chart, gained a total of 172 points of divinity.
This was indeed a huge gain.
Rod never imagined his divinity would one day feel inexhaustible.
And the reason for gaining so much was due to two new dreamscape creations.
The Spirit Realm Exile Curse Seal was more practical than imagined; within the last five days, Rod directly marked any monster with divine gains exceeding 10 points and used a Spirit Realm Exile Curse Seal.
Return to the dreamscape, unleash a Spirit Realm Strike, and blow up monsters.
If the divine gains were below 10 points and the monster was particularly tricky, Rod would directly use Thunder Fire Bomb to blast it dead.
The Thunder Fire Bomb was simply a divine artifact; power intimidatingly large, and accompanied by electric paralysis, spiritual energy shock, destruction protection, etc.
Monsters below the Fifth Tier essentially couldn’t withstand it; at most three would knock down, and Rod might supplement with a Divine Strike, effectively smashing it dead.
The only issue, such large-scale consumption makes the Soul Without Spirit somewhat unsustainable.
billion souls, after all, aren’t minor. If it weren’t during the Moment of Starry Brilliance, Rod eager to obtain divinity, wouldn’t waste like this.
Fortunately, Rod obtained many strong souls; after offering them all, barely supported the consumption.
Although a bit painful, it greatly expedited the cleansing of Starry Sky City.
Originally planned to take seven to eight months to clean, now seeing it, less than a month to clear.
In others’ eyes, Rod was like a tornado, sweeping away all troubles and difficulties, as long as Rod arrived, all hindrance and obstacles ceased, like time suddenly accelerated; instantly a region cleansed.
Rod’s sudden outburst surprised everyone, simultaneously brought immense joy.
Despite not considering how to explain his abilities, people already accepted his rebirth in strength, associating these abilities as his newly ignited Fire Spark.
Indeed, Rod’s Fire Sparks reached thirteen.
Across the entire Trolian, besides Alan, none had more than him.
Everyone believed Rod would be the first to ascend the Ashen Throne with the Starfire Series identity.
His rise was one aspect of Trolian’s path to great rejuvenation.
This period, under the more potent Holy Fire and Star Source, numerous warriors were undergoing metamorphosis; one breakthrough news after another emerging like bamboo shoots after rain.
Trolian Kingdom’s overall power was growing at an unimaginable speed.
On the Fire Trial held in the second month prematurely, the Holy Church achieved a record of sixty thousand new Fire Holders.
Last year, the number was twenty-one thousand.
Tripled!
Compared to the lowest number of six thousand, it was tenfold more!
At that moment, countless people were moved to tears.
Newcomers are the future.
Sixty thousand Fire Sparks signify they have endless futures.
A bright world seems to await them just within reach.
Everyone believed humanity would soon revive due to their rise.
On the fifth day of the second month in 1326, Rod finally completed the clearing of Starry Sky City.
The King ordered, Guardian Rod, return to the Royal City.
