Rod originally had 6 portions of Colorful Dreams; after giving one to Qingyu, 5 were left.
It should be enough.
Without hesitation, Rod took large strides forward and used the same technique to employ Colorful Dreams on Jon.
As the radiance merged into Jon's body, simultaneously with Qingyu, space trembled, as if tides surged through the void, and all the scattered sparks of fire gathered towards his body.
Jon burst with golden firelight, a small sun appeared before everyone.
Hot air brushed across every person's face, the breath of fire softly skimmed over souls, taking away all decay and darkness.
Velas and Vivian were both in tears.
"Jon, Lord Jon has finally taken this step... how wonderful, how wonderful..."
Rod was also very pleased. Troli suddenly gained two Commanders with the Eternal Burning Fire attribute, boosting top-end combat strength significantly and making the internal stability even stronger.
And all of this commenced from the victory at Starry Sky City.
Now, looking back, the significance of the battle at Starry Sky City is far greater than imagined; it can truly be called the foundational battle for Troli's new era.
Approximately one clock hour later, the promotion was complete, and Rod discussed the matter with Jon, feeling quite sentimental.
He deeply agreed with this perspective.
"Indeed, Brother Rod, Qingyu and I reached the ninth level of attributes long ago, but never expected to try rushing to Commander so quickly."
Jon was enveloped in firelight flowing throughout his whole body, appearing to have a stronger grasp over the Source Law of Eternal Burning Fire than Qingyu.
"The most significant impact on us was from the breakthrough of the Holy Fire limits, our growth speed increased dramatically. According to the Holy Church's statistics, during this period, the Fire Holder's average growth speed has nearly doubled compared to before."
"And the impact is even greater on Eternal Burning Fire. I, Qingyu, and Xingge have seen efficiency in the Refining Fire Ceremony soar, with spiritual energy growth at least four times faster than before."
Jon shook his greasy long hair; even full of firelight, his hair still appeared shiny and greasy, his large hooked nose still seemed cold and relentless.
"After acquiring Brother Rod's Star Source, we advanced at an unimaginable speed, enabling us to initiate the Commander domains so quickly."
Velas wiped away her tears, calmly saying: "The Holy Fire Seed at Starry Sky City stabilized the Holy Fire, eliminated hidden dangers, and significantly increased the strength of fire."
"The Star Source at Starry Sky City enabled us to break through bottlenecks quicker, taking steps upward. In just a few months, the overall power of the Royal City increased by more than 50% compared to before and will continue to accelerate."
Vivian's eyes were still red; her voice was mixed with sobs: "Perhaps this is the normal speed; previously, we could only grow slowly with scarce resources and weak Holy Fire, apart from a few prodigies, most couldn't become high-ranking combatants. But we were accustomed to that state alone; during the prosperous Fire Epoch, human growth rates certainly far exceeded ours."
Rod lamented: "Our rewards from Starry Sky City are unimaginable, but it's a pity the Star Chart has completely decayed; we can't acquire more Star Source."
Jon's eyes flickered with a divine light.
"Through long times, more than one Fire King City has been destroyed. If we could find more Fire King Cities..."
His words stirred everyone's hearts.
The benefits from Starry Sky City were immense.
And it belonged to the Fire King Cities of the Dark Epoch, its development only spanned over three hundred years.
The Royal Cities from the Fire Epoch wouldn't be inferior to it.
"The Investigation Legion hasn't reported any news yet."
Velas said regretfully: "Captain Liszt has mobilized all forces to probe outside, but the Dead Soil Continent is too dangerous. They haven't found the Royal City that perished during the Fire Epoch."
Jon asked: "What about the surviving Fire King Cities? Are there any news?"
Rod suddenly perked up; human kingdoms outside Troli are topics of concern for everyone.
During the meeting to establish his identity as a Fire Holder, the King had already ordered the search for three other Fire King Cities.
So much time has passed, yet still no news.
Velas's tone was equally regretful: "Captain Liszt has personally ventured, going three thousand kilometers south and four thousand kilometers into the west, yet has not found any trace of human activity. Further along, the Black Fog density sharply increases, Black Water flows everywhere, unknown terrors roam within the darkness, making further progress difficult, forcing a return."
Vivian whispered: "It's said Captain Liszt and dozens of high-ranking investigators prepared thoroughly this time, hoping to travel further to see what's deeper within the darkness."
Jon gently shook his head: "The possibility is minimal."
Rod understood his meaning; if Holy Fire exists, the Black Fog's density would be reduced centered around the Holy Fire.
The Holy Fire capable of supporting an entire kingdom wouldn't be weak. Taking Troli as an example, the direct coverage range of the Holy Fire is about two hundred kilometers, while its indirect influence spans ten times that range.
So, within a radius of two thousand kilometers or so.
The Black Fog within this range would be influenced and experience varying degrees of weakening.
Once such phenomenon occurs, it indicates possible human existence.
But the Investigation Legion traveled so far, yet the predominant view was thick Black Fog.
That indicates there's likely no Holy Fire nearby.
Rod thought with considerable regret that maybe they've perished already?
The Starry Queen once informed them that during the Fire Epoch's demise, five human heroes escaped carrying Holy Fire.
Thus, the Starry Kingdom and Troli Kingdom were established.
Over eighteen hundred years have passed, only Troli persevered.
The Starry Kingdom only lasted three hundred years before destruction in its prime. Other Fire King Cities likely met similar fates.
Having allies is certainly the best.
But if that's a luxury, then we'll just have to find a way to collect their bodies.
Afterward, Jon bid farewell to Rod and headed to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground with Velas and Vivian; he had some matters to discuss with the King.
Before leaving, he urged Rod to go visit Xingge quickly. If three Fire Commanders could be born in the Royal City at once, it would be a tremendous motivation for everyone, and more people would believe the Fire Epoch is about to arrive.
It seems they are competitors, but far from engaging in malicious rivalry.
Rod thought.
Past conflicts were mostly stirred by ancient evil thoughts, but at crucial moments, they still stood united against common threats.
While pondering, Rod arrived at the grand cathedral of Xingge.
Unexpectedly, Xingge's Guard Knight Captain, Edge Song, was already standing vigil at the cathedral door; upon seeing Rod, he performed a dramatic 180-degree bow.
"Sir, please come in, Prince Xingge is expecting you."
Rod asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Edge Song replied respectfully, "The Upper City has long been abuzz; Lord Qingyu and Prince Jon have mastered the Fire Source Law, advancing to Commanders. The Kingdom now has two formidable giant trees, qualified inheritors, and the council is in an uproar, the elders are on the verge of madness, the Fire Hall and Military War Department are nearly paralyzed. Countless people are inquiring about what happened, and some even believe the sun will shine through the Dark World tomorrow, ushering us into the light; now there are all sorts of rumors outside."
Rod was both surprised and amused, not expecting the news to spread so quickly in such a short time.
And what surprised him even more was that upon entering the cathedral, at least a third of the Fire Priests knelt before him or prayed to him.
Edge Song respectfully said, "There is a small rumor saying you are the avatar of fire, the legendary representative of the supreme light and fire god descended to the world, which is why you can easily help two candidates advance and grasp the true power of fire."
Rod almost burst into laughter, finding it even more absurd than the theories in Luo Weiya.
"What do you think?" he asked deliberately.
Edge Song bent deeply at the waist.
"Even if you are not, the fact that you can assist in the quantification of the Eternal Burning Fire Attribute is undeniable; the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground has passed me this message as well."
"Alright."
Rod pressed his temples.
"I truly admire your imagination... I wish you could use it on something more proper, like naming."
After some casual complaints, Rod followed Edge Song to the cathedral's underground.
But this time, unlike the previous two times, Xingge was not in the quantification process.
This adorable little elf was sitting on the altar, idly fiddling with her fingers.
Upon seeing Rod, she raised her head in surprise and joy.
"Big brother Rod, you finally came; I haven't seen you in ages."
Rod widened his eyes and turned to ask, "Hasn't she started quantification?"
Edge Song replied respectfully, "Xingge's start is slightly slower, but her characteristic level has reached the ninth, just waiting for you to begin."
He turned his head and said.
"Your Highness, let's begin; Sir Rod will help you enter the domain of Commander."
Xingge clapped her hands in delight, "Great!"
She lay down on the altar, "Brother, come quickly."
Rod felt his face must be twisted now.
He regretted not clarifying what he could do; this misunderstanding was enough to make someone vomit blood.
However, just when he wanted to give up, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
This thought stopped him.
Thus, Rod said nothing, watching them silently.
The beginning of quantification was very simple; a massive spiritual energy surged into Xingge's body, forcibly propelling her characteristic level forward.
Yet such quantification without any preparation, even with the prerequisites unresolved, had a failure rate that was absurdly high.
The fire light on Xingge's body had just started to shine when it showed signs of extinguishing.
Rod immediately took out the Colorful Dreams and placed it on her.
The fire light stabilized for a moment but soon became unstable again.
Naturally, Rod took out the second Colorful Dreams.
Hmph!
If it's a matter of probability, then it's not a problem!
If one Colorful Dream is not enough, then take another!
Rod let out a cold laugh.
Call me the King of Probability!
