After an unknown amount of time, he finally came to his senses. The strange phenomenon before his eyes had disappeared, and he was still standing atop the Giant Graveyard, the massive skull still within the Giant Graveyard.
However, the faint glow within the skull had already dissipated.
The invisible field encompassing the Giant Graveyard swiftly collapsed, and the dense black fog quickly pressed down on him.
Meanwhile, Rod felt a strange whisper emerging within his soul, with noises and scratching sounds echoing in his ears. He sensed his mind losing control.
"Master!" The Book of Knowledge shouted, "Quickly consume the Flower of Humanity, your soul is severely corrupted!"
Rod immediately consumed one Flower of Humanity, and the peculiar noises moved slightly away from him but didn't fully vanish. He then consumed dozens more, finally feeling his mind return to calm and the sense of losing control gradually fading.
