In that instant, a terrifying sense of danger surged from the depths of Rod's heart. He almost immediately raised his hand, intending to activate [Bloody Tears] and [Giant God Power].
However, as soon as the Dream Realm Star in his soul began to shine, an invisible force invaded, suppressing the Dream Realm Star into darkness.
Rod widened his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The light of the Dream Realm Star flickered rapidly within his soul, intermittently bright and dim. The invisible force completely suppressed it, preventing its power from unfolding.
Even his Spiritual Energy was the same, sinking into the sea like a stone, unable to rise.
Beside him, Takxis let out a frenzied roar, with super strong Spiritual Energy rising and falling madly like a broken Spiritual Energy core generator, and the fierce flames flickering like lightning under a storm.
He struggled desperately, but couldn't break free from the suppression of this invisible force.
In his mind, the Book of Knowledge almost screamed in a frenzy: "Kill yourself, Master, quickly kill yourself!"
The puppet shouted in an urgent tone it never had before: "The super strong Root Law is covering this space, all Power of Resurrection is being prohibited, the Resurrection Stone is about to fail!"
A thunderous sound erupted in Rod's mind; if the Resurrection Stone failed, then his last trump card would also fail.
This was unprecedented; all along, by relying on his ability to resurrect, he had been almost invincible in most situations.
Although the Book of Knowledge had mentioned that the prohibitive resurrection effect of the [Ice Prison] was also effective against the [Resurrection Stone].
However, he had never encountered a monster capable of accomplishing this.
Unable to use the [Resurrection Stone] meant he was, for the first time, in a situation where being killed would mean actual death.
At this moment, if he were to kill himself and the Resurrection Stone failed, wouldn't he really be dead?
However, the Book of Knowledge couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
It was urging him to commit suicide, which must mean that suicide could escape this deadly situation.
In a split second, Rod made his decision almost without hesitation, raising his hand with the short sword he brought out from the Dream Realm in his right hand. Although the Dream Realm Stars couldn't be used, the power derived from the Dream Realm itself was unobstructed.
In an instant, the short sword pierced his heart, sending true heart-wrenching pain flooding into his brain.
To prevent being Undead, Rod twisted his right hand, tearing his heart apart.
In the very next second, his right hand could no longer move.
The air, like solidified molten steel, sealed him within this space.
Amidst the piercing pain, he could only hear the blissful cry of the Book of Knowledge: "The Resurrection Stone has been activated, resurrection has begun. What remains in the Material World is merely a shell; the spirit and soul have entered the Void, and no prohibition can stop it now."
Rod finally exhaled in relief. So, this is how the Resurrection Stone works. It seems there was no need to worry about dying here after all.
A dizziness swept over his mind, a sign of excessive blood loss. It's uncertain why, even after his spirit and soul had departed, his consciousness and thoughts lingered, allowing him to remain aware and think.
The Book of Knowledge explained that this was a residual like a phantom, an inertia of movement, which would quickly dissipate.
Rod paid it no mind; these trivial details were nothing to be concerned with. In the face of death, he felt a particular sense of transcendence, as if the world had nothing more to do with him.
He asked offhandedly: "Book, do all True Kings have such abilities?"
The Book of Knowledge expressed frustration:
"No, this True King of Saint Reel is very skilled in the Domain of one of the three Pillars' Primordial Laws: the Domain of Activity."
"He mastered the Root Origin of fire and devoured the Holy Fire Seed, with his power swelling significantly. His control over Activity is nearing the level of his Origin Fire's. Thus, he was able to inhibit the Resurrection Stone, which also belongs to the Domain of Activity... Not all True Kings can achieve this. Yet, as the master's right-hand man, I failed to anticipate this possibility, nearly falling into an exceedingly dangerous crisis. This is my oversight!"
The puppet said: "Our memory of divine entities is very vague. This is the final missing piece of our souls. Failing to immediately think of it is not your fault..."
Asa and the Book of the Future chimed in, the Dream Realm grew lively, with the Book of Knowledge, puppet, Asa, Weiguang Asa, all speaking, mocking or comforting each other based on their respective stances, forming seven or eight alliances, engaging in chaotic disputes.
But Rod did not care in the slightest, his spirit was being withdrawn, everything was fading, the Resurrection Stone was taking effect, and Rod felt like a monster that had been slain, undergoing quantization, returning to the Void.
Originally, Rod thought he would soon close his eyes, and upon opening them, he would have returned to the survivors' base. Surprisingly, his consciousness began to clear, and that strange sense of transcendence left him.
What is happening?
Rod watched his transformation in surprise, the intense pain in his chest diminishing, the bleeding slowly coming to a stop.
"Book, what's happening?"
The Book of Knowledge responded calmly, untroubled: "Don't worry, Master, the Pope of Saint Reel seems to be repairing your body, but it's in vain. The outcome of resurrection is already determined; when the time comes, the residual effects will dissipate..."
However, in the next instant, Rod heard a voice that utterly shocked him.
"Ah, Takxis, Rod, you're finally here."
In the Dream Realm, silence fell instantly. Whether in the Material World or the Spirit Realm, all eyes focused on the figure before them.
