Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 138 The Resurrection Ritual and Quetzalcoatl
Chapter 137

"This is not a door that can be entered by brute force."

Rosen said, his heart racing.

If the Pyramid of Resurrection in front of us is a fake, it is unlikely that it could withstand hundreds of tons of thrust without any effect.

So it's highly likely that this is true, and the worst-case scenario is that it's a high-end knockoff.

Just as Rosen was pondering how to get in, Nia, who seemed almost invisible, suddenly teleported to the doorway.

Then a dagger flashed in his hand, slicing open his palm. He placed his hand on the stone door and vanished instantly.

Rosen looked at Barr, who looked completely bewildered.

How did Nia know that this method would allow entry into the pyramids?

Why didn't Nia go in with him before?
Isn't Nia afraid of blood?
Just now……

All sorts of questions were filling Barr's mind, and he looked to Rosen for help.

"Why are you looking at me? Get some blood out and open the door."

Rosen pointed to the stone gate and said.

Bal suddenly realized what was happening and immediately bled himself, while Rosen also took some blood and came to the stone gate.

However, an awkward situation arose: he and Baal were still outside the stone gate.

Rosen pondered carefully where the problem lay, and finally sought confirmation from the gray rat through the Nightmare Chains.

While pyramid-shaped structures are rare, they are not unique.

So how can Gray Mouse be so sure that this is a resurrection pyramid originating from Stulain?

As expected, the gray rat found relevant records in the underground city, which is why it was roughly determined that this might be the resurrection pyramid of Stulain.

The heirloom Baal received hinted that he should not go underground.

But why leave out this kind of reminder?

The underground city beneath the oasis is very well hidden, and cannot be detected even with spiritual perception.

If he hadn't used his Void Realm Eye Technique to scan, he would have had a hard time discovering the hidden underground city.

Therefore, the clue left by Uncle Baal in the family heirloom was actually a deliberate way to guide his descendants to the underground city.

Sometimes, the things we're forbidden to do are the things we're most likely to do.

However, it still doesn't explain why Nia was able to pass through the stone gate, while Baal couldn't enter the pyramid at all.

Rosen placed his hand on the stone door, silently opening the mysterious study.

His true self left the Void Gallery and swapped places with his self-portrait clone. The clone that took the self-portrait entered the Mysterious Study and looked out through the window opposite the door at the world behind the pyramid gate.

Besides being hidden, Rosen's mysterious study can also be used to pass through walls undetected.

Through the inward-opening window, Rosen witnessed a truly shocking scene.

The pyramids are hollow inside, and the interior space appears to be at least several hundred times larger than the exterior.

At the very bottom of the pyramids, there are huge fountain sculptures and waterways.

Then, in the middle of the pyramid, a magnificent palace floats, radiating divine light.

Then, at the top of the pyramid, suspended in the air by chains, is a feathered serpent god constantly emitting the radiance of the sun.

At this very moment, Nia is standing in front of the fountain, continuously bleeding herself.

Nia's blood gushed from her wrist artery into the spring like a high-pressure jet, clearly using spirituality and the ability to control blood to squeeze every last drop of blood out of her body.

If this continues, Nia will soon be dead.

As expected, not a drop of blood came out of Nia's wrist, and she collapsed forward into the fountain.

The fountain, already stained red with blood, now seemed to come alive as the water seeped into Nia's body.

Just a few minutes later, Nia was fully recovered and stood up in the water.

She looked up at the middle level of the palace, her eyes filled with pain and sorrow.

Nia turned back to the stone gate, took out a letter, placed it at the door, and resolutely walked towards the spiral staircase at the edge of the pyramid.

Rosen scanned the area with his Void Realm Eye Technique and found an identical letter already appearing within the Void Realm.

After opening and reading the letter, Rosen roughly understood what was going on based on its contents.

It turns out that Baal wasn't really unintelligent; he had injured his own soul while trying to save Nia.

This directly leads to spiritual damage, which is why they don't seem very intelligent.

Moreover, as time goes on, Baal will become increasingly stupid.

In the end, he became a real fool, a completely useless person who couldn't do anything.

The secret hidden in the family heirloom was not first discovered by Baal, but by his sister Nia.

She deleted parts of her ancestors' last words because the actual words were very cruel.

Baal's great-uncle was indeed not quite dead, and was sleeping in the palace in the middle of the pyramid.

To awaken, someone needs to wake them after thousands of years of slumber.

The price of awakening is to remain in the palace in place of the sleeping ancestor, and the offspring must be of the same bloodline.

As a reward for the ancestor's resurrection from slumber, the ancestor will lead the family back to glory.

Nia was unable to save Baal, so she could only place her hopes on her ancestors.

"The siblings have a deep bond, but is it really that easy to achieve?"

Rosen recalled another warning left by his great-uncle Barr.

You must carry a Sequence 7 item before you can enter this spiritual realm and enter this pyramid.

Nia now prefers to go alone rather than bring him into the pyramid.

This shows that the girl has a kind heart.

Since that's the case, let's see what Baal's ancestors are up to.

Hiding resurrection information in family heirlooms seems far too hasty no matter how you look at it.

If the family bloodline were to die out thousands of years later, or if the heirloom were lost, how would Baal's ancestors escape their slumber?

Rosen jumped out of the window and activated Shadow Cloak, appearing in Nia's shadow in the blink of an eye.

His mere Sequence 9 was completely undetectable.

Rosen followed Nia to the central palace, and the moment they entered, Nia's eyes lost their luster.

Like a puppet, they walked toward the coffin placed in the middle of the palace hall.

Rosen saw that directly above the coffin was a skylight, pointing vertically upwards and facing the feathered serpent god who was chained to the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, the coffin was still uncovered, and at this time, the coffin was filled with golden blood.

There was no one lying inside at all. At this moment, Nia, whose mind had been manipulated, stepped forward and was about to climb in and lie down in the coffin.

Rosen emerged from the shadows and immediately unleashed Nightmare Shackles to bind and seal Nia.

Nia, who is Sequence 9, is as weak as an ordinary person after being sealed by the Nightmare Shackles.

Rosen's teeth instantly transformed into hollow vampire teeth, which he then bit into Nia's carotid artery and began to draw blood.

He is certainly not a vampire, but essentially he is a self-portrait. Therefore, he can make local modifications to his body structure, such as modifying his teeth to be suitable for drinking blood, and modifying the blood channels connecting his teeth and his own arteries, thereby draining every drop of blood from Nia's body in the shortest possible time.

While drawing blood, Rosen also continuously fed Nia life-saving potions of Sequence 6 quality.

For extraordinary life forms, even if their heart is removed, it is not difficult for them to regenerate a new one.

So Nia's blood was quickly replaced with fresh blood, but her spirituality was still affected by external forces.

Rosen took Nia into the Void Gallery and began to use his talent of greed to possess the blood extracted from Nia's body.

The blood mingled with the fountain water, and immediately began to affect his spirituality.

Rosen stepped forward and entered the coffin. As soon as he lay down inside, the golden blood inside the coffin began to seep into his entire body.

At the same time, a vast spiritual power began to seep into his body and devour his spirituality.

Finally, Rosen's body was dissolved by the golden blood, and his spirit was drawn into a painting carved at the bottom of the coffin.

The moment Rosen saw the coffin, he noticed the image at the bottom of the coffin, which was obscured by golden blood.

This is a self-portrait, a self-portrait created by the artist Sequence.

Rosen didn't know the specifics of how to do it, but he roughly knew how Baal's ancestors were resurrected.

If the original painter dies, the self-portrait is essentially a second life.

As long as the extraordinary essence remains intact and the spirituality is not completely destroyed, the painter can use the self-portrait to create a clone and be reborn.

However, there are usually divine territories, so painters don't need this kind of resurrection method at all.

Unless the divine realm is destroyed, the self-portrait clone will become a backup method of resurrection.

Baal's great-uncle clearly wanted more than just resurrection; he also wanted to change the extraordinary bloodline within him, instead fusing it with the more powerful extraordinary bloodline of the Feathered Serpent God, and even planned to abandon the Painter sequence and his human identity.

Because in addition to Uncle Baal, the self-portrait also includes the ritual in which this person transforms into the feathered serpent god.

As for why it is necessary for the descendants of Baal to come here in order to complete the resurrection and transform into the feathered serpent god, this is not something that can be analyzed based on a few superficial clues.

Rosen's self-portrait clone replaced Nia and began to invade the self-portrait after merging into it.

Laziness allows him to gradually gain control over the mental world below Sequence 3, which means that mental damage below Sequence 3 is not very useful to him.

His innate greed allows him to seize all extraordinary elements below Sequence 3.

His gluttonous talent allowed him to forcibly digest the extraordinary bloodline of Quetzalcoatl.

Rosen not only intends to replace Nia, but also plans to disrupt the ceremony and usurp her place.

Originating from the spirit of the ancestor Baal, it constantly seeks to devour the spirit of Rosen.

However, the result was reversed and devoured, which directly led to the spirituality of Rosen's self-portrait clone being fed back and gradually growing and evolving.

Under normal circumstances, consuming the spirituality of others will not only fail to enhance one's own spirituality, but will instead pollute it.

Even with a talent for gluttony, Rosen wouldn't dare to do that.

However, this coffin, this pyramid, and this mysterious ritual seem to allow two different spiritualities to merge perfectly.

Since it's just a self-portrait clone, even if something goes wrong, it won't harm the original person hiding in the mysterious study.

As time went on, Lawson gained the upper hand.

Through the constant encroachment and consumption of spirituality, he also gradually unearthed the secrets of his great-uncle Baal from these spiritualities.

The pyramid he was standing in was indeed the Pyramid of the Resurrection of Sturian.

However, all the good stuff was taken away, and when Uncle Baal got his hands on it, all that was left was an empty pyramid shell.

Uncle Barr wasn't against marriage; he just didn't like women.

His lover was a Sequence 6 sculptor, and the two had a deep affection for each other and were living a good life.

However, during the struggle for the corpse of a Sequence 3 Feathered Serpent God, Uncle Baal's extraordinary essence was fatally damaged.

The original body was completely destroyed, leaving only a fragmented self-portrait clone.

His lover, a sculptor, tried everything she could to save him.

In the end, no one was willing to help him save his lover; even the powerful human demigods stood by and did nothing.

In despair, Uncle Baal's lover became somewhat corrupted.

After joining the alien race, they received a special resurrection and reincarnation ritual from them.

Later, the Pyramid of Resurrection was modified. Using the remaining power of the Pyramid of Resurrection, the corpse of the feathered serpent god, and the damaged self-portrait of Uncle Baal, a special resurrection ritual was designed.

This resurrection ritual would take at least several thousand years to complete successfully.

However, it's not enough to just talk about surrendering to a foreign tribe; one must actually do things for them.

Over thousands of years, no one could live this long without becoming a demigod.

Therefore, Baal's lover left behind several backup plans to complete the final part of the resurrection ritual.

The family heirloom is one backup plan, the hundreds of thousands of people in the underground city is another, and the mummy in the desert is yet another.

If any of the backup plans proceed smoothly, Uncle Baal will be able to be resurrected successfully.

However, Baal's great-uncle did not actually want to be reborn.

He was in a half-dead, dying state, watching his beloved betray him and join a foreign tribe for his sake.

Uncle Barr was already aware that his beloved would not have a good ending.

He resented himself for being a burden to his beloved, and he didn't want to come back to life alone thousands of years later.

Therefore, Uncle Baal secretly sabotaged all three of the backup plans.

The desert mummy was able to gather an endless source of the dead's essence, which then stimulated the feathered serpent god to control the divine power of life and death, successfully bringing Baal's uncle back to life. However, Baal's uncle severed the channel through which the resurrection pyramid absorbed the source of the dead's essence.

The hundreds of thousands of humans in the underground city were not only materials for making mummies, but also the source of their faith.

They worship the pharaoh's mummy, and if Uncle Baal fails in his first attempt to resurrect, he will also be reborn through the faith in the pharaoh's mummy.

If both of these fail, it can still devour its bloodline descendants to complete the final step of the reincarnation and resurrection ritual.

This spiritual realm is hidden within a family heirloom. As long as the bloodline remains intact, thousands of years later, whoever possesses the heirloom will become the final sacrifice in the resurrection ritual.

However, after thousands of years, Uncle Baal's spirituality had actually awakened.

Although not fully resurrected, it can slightly affect the external world of spirits.

Uncle Baal discovered that Baal's spirituality was damaged, and thus conceived the idea of ​​passing everything down to Baal.

Then face death with equanimity and journey to the depths of the spirit world to find your beloved.

That's why Uncle Baal left a warning in the family heirloom about safely entering the Pyramid of Resurrection. That's why the secret of the family heirloom, which had gone undiscovered for thousands of years, was easily discovered by Nia.

The reason for reminding people to bring a Sequence 7 is actually to guard against mummies in the desert.

After thousands of years, a very small number of those mummies were actually out of control.

If Baal and Nia were to encounter one of these rare, out-of-control mummies, they, being only Sequence 9, would undoubtedly be doomed.

Therefore, we need to bring a bodyguard to ensure we can safely cross the desert.

However, sometimes, the more truthful the story, the less people believe it.

Nia clearly misunderstood Uncle Baal's good intentions.

As for why Uncle Baal didn't correct it, it's because he had already exhausted himself and fallen back into a deep sleep in order to prevent the family heirloom from being forcibly used as a sacrifice. He was completely unaware of Nia's misunderstanding, which caused an unexpected change in his inheritance plan.
