Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 159 Plotting the True God and the Hero's Emblem

Chapter 158

"This is the Secret Flower?"

Rosen stood on the head of the heavily armored wild boar, looking at the small black flowers growing from the boar's head.

It was nothing special, but less than an hour after the heavily armored boar died, a delicate little flower grew from its scalp, which even a bomb couldn't destroy. The Secret Flower is a very rare extraordinary plant, and this one would be worth a million spiritual crystals at an auction.

Of course, don't misunderstand, the Secret Flower itself is worth no more than 50 spiritual crystals.

The container holding the secret flower is a spiritual crystal worth 50.

These flowers grow and wither in less than a minute; if they are not picked and preserved, they will soon die.

With a click, Rosen's right eye captured a picture of the mysterious flower, which was then uploaded to the main god's computer.

As expected, the flower did not wither when the time came; the main god's computer was capable of preserving the secret flower.

Rosen summoned 35 Ash Bees and ordered them to scatter and freely hunt down the pig-like supernatural beings.

If there are any signs that the secret flower has grown, notify him immediately to collect it.

Over the next two months, all the extraordinary pig-like creatures within a thousand miles either died or escaped.

Rosen has hunted over a thousand Sequence 7 to Sequence 5 extraordinary beings.

However, upon closer examination, it turned out that instead of making a profit, they actually suffered a significant loss.

Because dozens of the Sequence 8 Ash Bees have died, only one of the original first batch of Ash Bee secondary pets remains.

Rosen could clearly sense that more and more high-sequence extraordinary life forms had recently appeared in the vicinity.

For no apparent reason, extraordinary beings of Sequence 5 or even Sequence 4 would wander over. On one occasion, when they encountered an extraordinary being of Sequence 4, they had to sacrifice more than a dozen Ash Bees to escape and hide in the mysterious study.

"I always feel like this rainforest is hostile to me."

Rosen stood by the window of the mysterious study, looking at the rainforest shrouded in torrential rain outside and muttering to himself.

When in doubt, he searched online and actually found the answer on the God Network.

Everything has a spirit, but the strength of the spirit varies greatly.

All miracles originate from spirituality. Without spirituality, there would be no miracles, not even life, and everything, including the world itself, would perish. In theory, everything can awaken spirituality.

History can be transformed into a spiritual realm through spirituality, and concepts can be transformed into entities like covenants and deities through spirituality.

Nature can certainly do it too; he encountered a rare natural force.

If a place has a particularly good natural ecology, then theoretically there is a chance that the will of nature will emerge.

But in reality, the odds of this happening are one in a billion.

If a natural will had emerged in the rainforest, then the Thunder Empire could not have failed to discover it.

Rosen continued his investigation into the Thunder Empire's clues about the will of nature, and sure enough, he discovered that the natural rainforest had given birth to the will of nature.

This caused a sensation at the time, because controlling the will of nature meant controlling the natural ecosystem.

However, possessing a treasure is a crime, and the emergence of the will of nature was discovered by the alien gods.

Two alien deities joined forces to invade the Thunder Empire and destroy the will of nature.

The current emperor of the Thunder Empire, who was also the second owner of the Golden Apple Tree, died in that battle.

Logically speaking, since the natural will that originated in the rainforest has been killed, it is impossible for a new natural will to emerge here.

But Rosen's recent experiences do indeed seem to be an encounter with the will of nature.

However, if the natural will truly guarantees at least a Sequence 3 existence, his current situation should be even worse.

Could it be that the will of nature from back then didn't die completely, or is there some kind of existence similar to the will of nature?

Rosen couldn't understand why they were specifically targeting him.
To say that excessive killing disrupts the ecological balance, although he has killed a lot of extraordinary beings these days, it is just a drop in the ocean compared to the natural rainforest. So many nine-headed monsters died in the Muddy Water Swamp, but the will of nature did not appear.

So the only possible reasons for approaching him seem to be that he slaughtered too many pigs and collected a lot of secret flowers.

Could there be a secret about the Secret Flower that the world doesn't know about?

The Secret Flower, this extraordinary plant, can be used to concoct precious magical potions that enhance intelligence.

Besides, there is a certain possibility that it will turn into a mysterious flower.

Rosen opened the main computer and began to synthesize the Secret Flower that had been photographed and uploaded during this period.

There were more than 2 secret flowers in total. A few were kept as spares, and the remaining two were combined into 96 sets.

The second synthesis yielded 48 groups remaining.

After the third synthesis, 24 groups remained.

After the fourth synthesis, 11 secret flowers remained.

As Rosen watched a secret flower transform from black to seven colors, he immediately realized that he had successfully synthesized a mysterious flower.

This miraculous plant is so rare that it has only been recorded a handful of times in history.

Two of them ended up in the hands of painters, who then used them to enhance their mental canvases after studying them.

Rosen couldn't wait to take the Mysterious Flower from the main computer and pop it into his Gluttonous Stomach.

The Mind Canvas absorbed the power of the Mystic Flower and quickly transformed to LV4 as he released the suppression.

【Mind Canvas LV4: (400/400)】

[Attribute: Painters can project everything they see into their own spirituality and consciousness through their eyes and spiritual perception, and can also paint within the spirituality and consciousness of life.]

[Enhanced Feature: Mind Projection - Ability to project the contents of the mind's canvas onto the real and mental levels]

[Miracle Trait: Ash Curtain - The Mind Canvas can be transformed into an Ash Curtain, reflecting the lingering light of civilization's ashes]

[Miracle Ability: Mystic Reflection - The Mind Canvas can replicate a Miracle Ability that belongs to a Miracle]

Rosen was torn with conflicting emotions as he witnessed the miraculous properties that were ultimately created.

He possesses numerous miraculous treasures, giving him a wide range of choices.

First, we can rule out the Ash Bee. Although the Ash Bee is a miracle, like the Mystic Flower, it does not possess the unique and eternal characteristics of being one in the world.

However, all miracles must possess these two characteristics.

However, there are indeed many Ash Bees, and Rosen has done a lot of research on this issue.

He eventually discovered that although there were many Ash Bees, each one was exactly the same, with no difference in the texture of their wings, their weight, or even the amount of downy hair on their bodies.

At that time, Rosen realized that the Ash Bees he controlled might not be the true miracle life form, the Ash Bees.
It is merely a clone of the Miracle Ash Bee, capable of replicating to produce multiple individuals. This may be the true miracle characteristic possessed by the Miracle Ash Bee. Therefore, neither the Ash Bee nor the Sea God's Remnant possesses the two miracle characteristics of being unique in the world and eternally indestructible.

Because they are incomplete, their understanding of the miraculous properties may also be incomplete.

Two painters in history who obtained the Mystic Flower ultimately chose to replicate the eternal and indestructible property that all miraculous treasures possess.

Because this characteristic is so appealing, once the mental canvas possesses this characteristic, it becomes virtually indestructible.

If he wants to project a mental canvas onto the spiritual consciousness of an enemy, then even if the enemy is a Sequence 0, he cannot completely destroy the mental canvas within the spiritual realm unless he kills the painter. Otherwise, the mental canvas will be permanently rooted in the spiritual consciousness of a Sequence 0.

However, while immortality is desirable, there are many ways to counter it.

You can directly separate the mental canvas along with the spiritual consciousness, or if you can't destroy it, you can seal it away.

Both of these approaches can effectively address the everlasting canvas of the mind.

Therefore, even with this characteristic, the Mind Canvas can only exert its eternal value by two levels at most. If Sequence 7 is used against Sequence 4, the result will not be much of an advantage.

So after much hesitation, Rosen chose the unique and miraculous property of being the only one in the world.

If this miraculous property could truly be replicated, then his mental canvas would be the only mental canvas in the world.

Of course, this does not mean that the canvases of other painters' minds will disappear. They will simply become similar to the relationship between ordinary ash bees and source ash bees, meaning that his canvas of mind becomes the only genuine one, and all other painters' canvases of mind become copies.

The moment the copying ended, Rosen felt that his mental canvas had undergone a second fundamental transformation.

Through his mental canvas, he can sense all the mental canvases in the world.

A total of 356,190 mental canvases exist within the spiritual consciousness of 356,190 painters.

He could destroy these mental canvases at any time if he wanted to.

At that time, his mental canvas might even become a real miracle.

Rosen knew very well how big of a gamble he was playing this time.

Did neither of the first two painters who obtained the mysterious flower ever think of replicating the one and only flower in the world?

However, they are not stupid, and they do not want to seek their own demise.

Imagine that one of the core skills mastered by so many painters—the canvas of the mind—is controlled by one person. These painters would surely go crazy, and all of them would kill this suicidal painter at any cost.

Rosen dared to take such a drastic step because he believed in the Mysterious Study.

Sure enough, half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and he was still alive and well.

However, on the World Government's Spiritual Deep Web, the Artists' Guild has publicly abolished the Mind Canvas skill, warning painters who have mastered it to use it with caution, and prohibiting painters who have not mastered it from mastering it from now on.

Clearly, none of the various means available to the world government have been able to help them find the source of the Mind Canvas.

Rosen believed that he would be dead the moment he left the secret study.

Countless painters would find him immediately, then grind his bones to dust and make an example of him.

Unless he leaves the Mysterious Study and never takes the Mind Canvas out of it, his safety cannot be guaranteed.

Rosen has made such a great sacrifice; now we can only hope that his sacrifice was worthwhile.

He soon discovered that through his mental canvas, he could not only perceive all mental canvases, not only destroy all mental canvases, but his mental canvas could also continuously draw power from all mental canvases in the world.

As long as his painter sequence level increases, the skill level of Mind Canvas will immediately reach the current sequence limit.

He became a Sequence 6 painter, and his Mind Canvas instantly reached LV5 peak.

Ultimately, all the painters' canvases of the soul can still be used to convey spiritual paintings at the level of consciousness.

Rosen tried it out and locked onto the Mind Canvas controlled by a painter in the Thunder Empire who possessed Sequence 7. Then, a Mind Painting stored on the Mind Canvas by this painter was instantly copied and made his own.

It seems that this function is the greatest gain after the creation of the Mind Canvas World.

By replicating the works of these painters, Rosen could certainly give wings to his own growth as a painter.

He can even copy the mental paintings of high-sequence painters and then pass them on to low-sequence painters.

Which lower-ranking painter could refuse the opportunity to learn about spiritual painting from a higher-ranking painter?

This means that he may be able to influence 356,190 painters through his mental canvas.

For example, high-level mental paintings can be used as rewards, and low-ranking painters can be offered bounties for completing the tasks they post.

Even though some people reject it, there are always painters who are not doing well who can be lured by it.

Of course, Rosen also discovered that transmitting and replicating the artwork of the soul came at a price.

He would have to expend his own divinity to do so, so to control 356,190 painters he would have to start from scratch.

Rosen opened the door to the mysterious study, preparing for one last attempt.

The canvas of the soul is unique in the world, and it has gained a powerful influence on 356,190 painters.

However, his inability to take the canvas of his mind out of the mystical study meant that a piece of his painter sequence power was permanently missing.

Rosen transformed the Mind Canvas into the Ash Curtain, and as expected, the Ash Curtain did not inherit the unique characteristics of heaven and earth.

Mystic Reflection allows the Mind Canvas to replicate a Miracle trait. Ash Veil originates from the Mind Canvas, but it is fundamentally different from the Mind Canvas. Therefore, after the Mind Canvas is transformed into Ash Veil, it cannot inherit the same level of Miracle trait.

Rosen left the mysterious study, but after a short while, he did not receive the high-ranking painter's retribution.

In that case, the Ashes Curtain will become the replacement for the Canvas of the Mind.

The Ash Curtain can also project mental images, but it cannot create mental images.

Because the Ash Curtain can only depict the afterglow of civilization's ashes, when you want to create a painting of the mind, you must transform the Ash Curtain back into a canvas of the mind, and you must return to the Mysterious Study to ensure your safety.

However, this has little impact, because Rosen can multitask and has a self-portrait clone.

The self-portrait clone stays in the mysterious study to create mental paintings, while the original body projects these paintings from outside using an ash curtain. It's simply an extra step in the division of labor, and overall, it doesn't have a direct negative impact on him.

Rosen went all out this time because he discovered a secret on the God Network.

Everyone in the God Network is a person of great destiny from their respective races. Those people of great destiny from other races have conducted a lot of research on the nine sequences of humanity and finally came to a conclusion that many other races already know: the four great civilization sequences cannot become true gods on their own.

The World Government, through the four major civilization sequences, has restricted all avenues for these four civilization sequences to become true gods.

Because once these four true gods are born, they will undoubtedly become the four strongest true gods of mankind.

There is only one position for the true god, but there are many sequence 0s in the four civilization sequences.

Unless a sequence 0 can conquer all the remaining sequence 0s of the same sequence, there is no way to become a true god.

As a latecomer, if Rosen wants to compete for the sole true god status among nobles and painters in the future, he must establish a strong influence among the noble and painter groups early on.

Now, of all his skills, only the Blood Seal of Glory needs to be upgraded to LV4.

As for the territorial buildings in the noble ranks, upgrading them gradually will not affect the normal advancement of the noble ranks.

The core of the Blood Seal of Glory is noble bloodline, and his noble bloodline is already that of a hereditary duke, which is naturally the most perfect material for enhancement.

However, another core element of the Bloodstained Glory is its emblem, while the emblem of the Howard family is merely that of a hereditary lord.

Now that he has become a hereditary duke, he needs to change his family crest.

The coat of arms of nobles served as both a unique identifier and an extension of the authority within the noble hierarchy.

In addition to its inhabitants and military units, the Divine Realm will also have heroes in the future.

Emblems are an important medium for the Lord of the Divine Realm to bestow titles upon heroes. Through emblems, a portion of the power of the Divine Realm can be integrated into the hero's body, thereby allowing the hero to acquire talents and abilities bestowed by the Lord of the Divine Realm through the emblem, in addition to their original rank.

Judging by the time, the family crest he commissioned should be almost finished.

Rosen tore up a return scroll and was quickly teleported back to Natural Sky City.

Through the Wizard Tower of the Natural Sky City, you can be directly teleported to Thunder Capital, the capital of the Thunder Empire.

At the Artists' Guild, Rosen received the package mailed to him by the World Government.

Upon opening the package, one finds the family crest of a hereditary duke, which the World Government designed specifically for him after contacting him through the Spirit World Deep Network. Inside the package is a blueprint for creating the physical crest.

Once you have the materials to carry the emblem, the blueprint will automatically convert the materials into a physical emblem.

The quality of the material used to mount a physical heraldry also has a significant impact on the final product.

Almost all hereditary dukes choose materials of the lowest sequence 3 for the carriers of their family crests.

Rosen took out a piece of the heartwood from a golden apple tree, unfolded the blueprints, and placed them on the heartwood.

The blueprints transformed into a ball of seven-colored light that enveloped the tree's heart. Soon after, the blueprints vanished into nothingness, leaving behind two extraordinary artifacts.

They are a heraldic ring and a palm-sized badge-type heraldic emblem.

【Heral Ring: An Extraordinary Item】

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Attribute: Proof of hereditary dukedom, which doubles the attribute of emblem-type skills]

[Unique Trait: Golden Guardian - Activating Golden Guardian grants immunity to almost all damage below Sequence 2]

……

【Heral Codes: Extraordinary Artifacts】

[Level: Sequence 4]

[Attribute: Allows you to bestow a title upon a hero unit of the highest tier, Sequence 4]

[Unique Feature: Hero Protection]

Rosen put away the heraldic badge and put the heraldic ring on his hand.

As per his request, the emblem featured a golden five-clawed dragon, which he considered a tribute to his past life.

Rosen channeled the power of the emblem ring into the painter's sequence of extraordinary essence, instantly enhancing the skill "Blood Seal of Glory" to LV4.

【Glory Blood Seal LV4: (1/400)】

[By imprinting a noble bloodline emblem onto a spiritual painting, one can attach an emblem lock to the painting, increasing its compatibility with the divine realm and boosting the character's attributes by 40%.]

[Enhanced Feature: Emblem Branding will have enhanced sealing effects]

[Enhanced Trait: Emblem Branding grants LV4 Golden Guardian]

The Golden Guardian skill on the Emblem Ring is at least LV8 in terms of skill level.

Although the Blood Seal of Glory can only be attached to the LV4 Gold Guardian, the Emblem Brand can be mass-produced. In the future, as long as all spiritual paintings are branded with the Emblem Brand, they will immediately gain a powerful defensive skill that is difficult to break through even in a short time.

Everything is ready now; all that's missing is raising my spiritual strength to 36 to advance to Sequence 6.

However, Rosen couldn't focus on increasing his spiritual power right now; he was quite interested in the being that seemed to be the will of nature.

Rosen disengaged from the fusion of the Hunter's Eye into his right eye and instantly appeared thousands of meters above the natural rainforest.

Through the Hunter God's Demon Eye, the surrounding natural rainforest came into view.

The ash curtain began to project and render the rainforest below, projecting natural wonders painted on the canvas of the mind.

It is a flame that burns in water, and the more water it is exposed to, the more fiercely it burns.

Moreover, this flame possesses destructive properties, leaving the land it burns barren and devoid of life.

Although the canvas of the mind can only capture a fraction of the spirit of natural wonders, it is more than enough to burn some ordinary trees in the rainforest.

In an instant, the area within a radius of several thousand meters was enveloped in white, transparent flames. The torrential rain acted as a catalyst for the flames, and countless tall trees became fuel. In the blink of an eye, a sea of ​​fire had been formed within a radius of several thousand meters, and the sea of ​​fire continued to spread outward.

The torrential rain that had been falling from the sky suddenly stopped, and the clouds parted and the sun shone through.

However, this only slowed the spread of the fire. Suddenly, a small area of ​​the ground collapsed within the fire's reach, and all the burning trees fell into the sinkhole and were buried underground.

Relying on his sixth sense, Rosen roughly pinpointed the spiritual source that dispelled the rainstorm and caused the earthquake.

Even the will of nature needs to employ spirituality to accomplish all this.

As long as you use spirituality, there will naturally be a source to trace back to.

Rosen vanished into the void shadow within his own shadow, instantly teleporting to the void shadow of a tree at the edge of the sinkhole.

Looking up at the tree, he saw a nature fairy stomping its feet in a huff.

Normal natural fairies, according to the book, are special life forms that originated from plants.

While it may have some impact on the plant's ability, the effect is usually not very strong.

The nature fairy in front of him was at most Sequence 8, so how could it easily control the natural environment within a radius of tens of kilometers?
Rosen instantly teleported to a tree, appearing in front of the nature fairy and glancing into her eyes.

The ash curtain instantly projected a tree into the spiritual consciousness of the nature fairy.

The anger on the nature fairy's face vanished instantly, and she stood motionless as if she were a tree.

Rosen grabbed the palm-sized nature fairy and sent it into the Time Tower to set up a time barrier.

Only then, through his sixth sense and mind-reading ability, did he gradually read the thoughts and consciousness of the nature fairy.

It turns out that this little thing is not an ordinary natural fairy, but a miraculous life form born from the remains of a Sequence 1 divine tree on its vessel after the death of the will of nature. It is born with the natural divine authority belonging to the will of nature.

Moreover, within the natural rainforest, this little sprite expends almost no energy when using its natural divine power.

It was a miracle that brought them success, and it was also a miracle that led to their downfall.

The downside is that this little sprite has been around for hundreds of years, and it has only grown from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8 so far.

However, it has two miraculous characteristics: uniqueness and immortality. Even if the little fairy is killed, it will be reborn in the natural rainforest.
