Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 180 The Sacred Continent and the Sky Garden

Chapter 179

Rosen moved elusively through the shadows of the void, his movements a blur of motion, amplified by the shimmering void.

The Dragon King's Wrath unleashes a single, instantaneous dragon language spell, causing countless extraordinary beings across the Dark Continent to fall in its wake.

The more you kill, the more loot orbs drop.

He discovered that the creatures that left behind corpses did not condense extraordinary source matter within their bodies.

However, when the corpse disappears and turns into a trophy orb, it will drop extraordinary source material, and it is a very special kind of extraordinary source material containing a single type of mental ability. Refining this extraordinary source material can grant you the mental ability within it, but your original mental ability will disappear.

After searching through some information on the Spirit World Deep Web, Rosen roughly figured out what was going on.

The extraordinary beings who leave behind corpses leave behind whatever they have on them.

The transformation into trophy orbs is the result of the hunting deity combining the prey's entire spiritual essence with all its extraordinary materials, then compressing, refining, and transforming it into trophy. Therefore, these extraordinary beings are pseudo-extraordinary beings with incomplete sequences.

Sequences are not something that exists naturally; they are a system that has only emerged in the last tens of thousands of years.

It's like how humans originally had no laws, but when nations and world governments were established, laws came into being.

There were no sequences at the beginning; at that time, there weren't even skill levels.

However, later someone created the first Sequence Potion, and then the World Government expanded its power and became stronger. Various alien races also changed and acknowledged the existence of the Sequence System. Gradually, the Sequence System became a rule universally applicable to all races.

From then on, all extraordinary beings were automatically included in the sequence, and those not included would be eliminated.

This is the change in the rules of heaven and earth under the times; of course, there is also a saying that it is the world's self-regulation.

A certain extraordinary system in a certain era will inevitably consume certain specific resources of that era.

The consumption of these resources is increasing, and eventually the world will not be able to bear it. The result will be either that the number of people in this extraordinary system will decrease, or the world will be completely drained and destroyed.

To avoid these problems, we need to develop new supernatural systems that utilize supernatural resources that were previously unused.

Then, give over-exploited resources a recovery period, thereby maintaining the world's ecological balance.

The tribulations that every civilization inevitably faces are essentially tests given by the world.

It can be said that the key to the World Government's ability to maintain its current status is the comprehensive artificial cultivation of potion materials below Sequence 6.

If potions below Sequence 3 could be mass-produced someday, the World Government would surely become a new Nine Tribulations Civilization.

Therefore, these extraordinary life forms on the Dark Continent belong to the transitional stage of the transition from extraordinary abilities to a sequence.

After Rosen figured out what was going on, he immediately tried to figure out what benefits he could get.

As it turned out, he actually discovered that these extraordinary beings in the transitional stage were all treasures.

Those who are number one must possess incredible power.

The very first complete sequence to be born in any sequence must possess incredible power.

For example, the first farmer sequence, the first fisherman sequence, even if the upper limit of these sequences is very low, such as the highest fisherman sequence being only sequence 6, the first fisherman is completely different from the subsequent fishermen. The first fisherman has powerful innate skills that the subsequent fishermen do not have.

The first complete sequence to be generated is usually referred to as the first sequence.

Therefore, with the improvement of the extraordinary sequences in the Dark Continent, at the very least, a first sequence can be born.

Rosen had made up his mind to get his hands on this first-order item at any cost.

Regardless of the highest possible sequence level, the first sequence, in addition to its extremely powerful innate skills, can also exert a certain suppressive effect on all subsequent sequences, and even enhance one's fortune. Ultimately, the first sequence can at least wield a divine authority.

Rosen had come into contact with more than a dozen kinds of divine powers, but these divine powers were either treasures or pets.

External forces can be used, but those that don't belong to oneself have no growth potential.

The only divine rights that truly belong to him are the divine rights of creation and the divine rights of the seven deadly sins. Even the hunting divine rights of the hunter sequence are only superficial to him. He still has a long way to go before he can truly master the hunting divine rights.

Therefore, being able to acquire a divine right for free is absolutely enough to make any demigod envious.

If we want the first order of the Dark Continent to be born as soon as possible, we need to find more alien spirit realms to light up the map of the Dark Continent.

However, the vast majority of spiritual realms are under the control of nobles from various countries under the World Government.

He could probably find one or two unclaimed alien spirit realms in a few hundred years, but he needed more than just one or two. So he had to think of all sorts of methods, otherwise, after a few hundred years, the benefits of the first sequence to him would be negligible.

Why is the deep web of the spirit world unpopular, and why are people so enthusiastic about spirit messengers?

The key is that the deep web of the spirit world cannot completely protect personal information. However, Rosen can log into the deep web of the spirit world without leaving a trace and can search for all kinds of information on the deep web of the spirit world without restraint.

Rosen spent two whole months finding a way to quickly access the alien spirit realm.

The alien realms originate from the historical traces left after the destruction of alien civilizations. Just like the Gray Ratman civilization that was destroyed in the Blazing Shadow Kingdom, many alien realms related to the Gray Ratman were eventually born.

Therefore, in a certain region, the more and stronger the alien civilizations that existed in history, the more alien spiritual realms would have been born.

Rosen logged into the Spirit Realm Deep Web and purchased a Sequence 3 teleportation scroll for the Holy Continent.

The spirit messenger arrived two hours later, which shows how far the Holy Continent is from the Underground Kingdom.

If we divide them by geographical location, the Duchy of Blazing Shadow, the Underground Kingdom, and the Thunder Empire are all located on the edge of the human world, while the Holy Continent is located near the core area of ​​the human world, and its area is a hundred times that of the Thunder Empire.

There are more than a dozen empires, hundreds of kingdoms, and thousands of principalities here.

With so many countries, the resources needed to maintain their existence are astronomical.

No matter how abundant the resources on this continent are, after tens of thousands of years of mining, very little will be left.

In the present day, most of the natural resources of the Sacred Continent are protected and mining is prohibited.

It's obvious that the spiritual realm is what keeps the extraordinary system from collapsing.

Rosen tore apart the teleportation scroll worth tens of millions of spiritual crystals in his hand, and a teleportation portal leading directly to the Holy Continent instantly appeared before his eyes.

If one were to travel all the way to the spirit world by steam train, it would probably take at least several hundred years.

Mechanical mounts can be faster, but there are too many variables on the road.

Fortunately, there are teleportation scrolls that can travel extremely long distances. Indeed, having money makes many things much simpler.

After passing through the portal, Rosen had arrived at the edge of the Holy Continent.

In front is land and behind is the sea, with tens of thousands of miles of desolate coastline devoid of any trace of human civilization.

This is because the seas surrounding the Holy Continent are too violent, capable of easily unleashing terrifying tsunamis of thousands to tens of thousands of miles in height. As a result, everything along the coast is destroyed by hurricanes and tsunamis, and the environment here is not suitable for human civilization to survive.

Rosen drove the feathered serpent chariot forward aimlessly.

Soon plants appeared ahead, and he felt as if he had entered the land of giants.

The grass they encountered was over ten meters tall, and the trees that were thousands of meters tall were all small trees. The hills here were thousands of miles high. Everything was growing to enormous size, which explains why this continent became a sacred land for the giant race.

Once upon a time, a brilliant civilization of giants arose on this continent, and these bizarre and wondrous giants ruled the sacred land.

At that time, humans were merely food and servants of the giants, until later humans rose up and conquered the giants.

Most giant civilizations that fed on humans were destroyed. A very small number of giants that did not eat humans but instead became friendly with them and became subordinate to human civilizations. A portion of giant civilizations escaped the human world and have continued to this day.

At its peak, the giant race had more than ten great gods.

This powerful race of giants now has only one and a half known true gods remaining.

It's hard to imagine how humans managed to defeat giants 30,000 years ago.
How did the World Government become the sole dominant civilization in such a short time?

Rosen learned a great deal about the rise of the World Government from the Main God Network.

One theory suggests that the birth of the Spirit Realm allowed some powerful humans from ancient times to emerge from the Spirit Realm, reborn and fight their way out from its depths. This is why the World Government possesses such terrifying power, and why the humans on the Holy Continent, who were kept in captivity, were able to fight back against the giants.

Another theory suggests that the founders of the World Government were not all human, but included some true gods from other races.

The reason is that a true god cannot be born out of thin air, unless some ancient true gods have changed their appearance.

Finally, there is another theory that human civilization inherited the legacy of ancient and powerful civilizations.

Rosen felt that these claims made sense, and might even be the truth.

The various theories offered by the chosen ones of different races in the God Network all have some basis, but there are also many contradictions that cannot be explained. Only by becoming Sequence 1 can one be qualified to come into contact with the true face of human civilization.

Rosen stopped his random thoughts as the Quetzalcoatl chariot's radar detected a giant beast ahead.

He was stunned when he released his Hunter's Eye to observe from the air; a giant shark with four legs was swimming through the jungle.

Moreover, this shark was a vegetarian, munching on the fallen leaves on the ground.

Rosen felt it was necessary to learn more about the basic common sense of the Holy Continent through the Spirit World Deep Web.

A few days later, Rosen gained a deeper understanding of the Holy Continent.

Besides countless alien spirit realms related to giants, this place is also home to countless colossal beasts. While a large size does not necessarily mean a high level of spiritual power or quality, the amount of spiritual energy within them is certainly astonishing. After all, how could a weak spiritual energy control such a massive body?

Therefore, each giant beast is a moving crystallization of spiritual energy, and also a constantly regenerating crystallization of spiritual energy.

Of course, there were many giant beasts, but the human population was even greater.

Therefore, all countries in the Holy Continent strictly limit the job changes of the extraordinary sequences within their borders. Each year, only the best batch of candidates can change jobs to the five major sequences, while the rest can only change jobs to auxiliary production professions such as farmers.

Of course, it's not mandatory, and we won't stop you if you insist on changing jobs.

Poor aptitude does not preclude future achievements.

However, obtaining Sequence 6 potions becomes significantly more difficult. Basically, by the time you reach Sequence 7, it will be clear whether you have accumulated knowledge and experience, whether you have displayed wisdom beyond your aptitude, or whether you have shown advantages beyond your natural talent in the tortoise and the hare race.

Aside from restrictions on job changes, the most unique rule in the Holy Continent is that the strong are not allowed to bully the weak.

Sequence 6 means you can only hunt sequence 6 behemoths.

Moreover, after hunting them, they might even leave behind special marks belonging to the giant beasts.

If we were to slaughter the giant beasts indiscriminately in the short term, it would invite an attack from the king of the beasts. These are the rules that govern the Holy Continent, established by the legal scholars of the World Government. Without these rules, the giant beasts of the Holy Continent would have been wiped out long ago. If human greed is not restrained, it will only bring endless destruction.

The Quetzalcoatl chariot has transformed from its piloting mode to its riding mode.

Rosen was about to leave the shadow space when he suddenly remembered something that startled him.

He suddenly remembered that sharks urinate through their skin, which can be washed away by seawater in the ocean. But since they have four legs and live on land, without the daily washing of seawater, wouldn't this shark be pickled now?

Rosen activated the environmental detection function of the mechanical mount. Looking at the detection results, he felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell.

As he expected, the surrounding air was filled with the smell of extremely high concentrations of ammonia.

Rosen retreated a hundred miles away in the shadow of the void before carefully dispelling the Void Shadow Cloak after checking the environment again.

The enhanced Dragon King's Wrath, enhanced by fantasy weaponry, can remotely lock onto behemoths with a single bullet imbued with dragon magic.

The area within several miles was shrouded in black flames. This was the Sequence 6 dragon language magic, Destructive Flame Storm, which could burn everything within its range to ashes. However, it was not so easy to burn the Sequence 6 behemoth to death in one go.

The monstrous shark, engulfed in destructive flames, burst out of the sea of ​​fire and charged headlong towards the ocean.

However, its enormous size meant that the giant shark was essentially a sitting duck.

Once any supernatural life form grows larger, its attack, defense, and health will increase, but its evasion will decrease.

With its inherently strong defense and health, it wouldn't be at a disadvantage even if it took damage head-on.

However, Rosen possessed the Ash Armor Break skill evolved from Death Strike. If the defense was lower than the damage, the armor would be completely broken, not to mention the true damage caused, which could not be healed by conventional means. So, under the long-range sniping, the giant shark quickly fell on the road.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the monstrous shark completely vanish.

Fortunately, it has turned into a trophy orb. If the corpse had been left behind, he would definitely have given up on dissecting it and collecting the trophy.

The energy permeated the scavenging space, crushed the light sphere, and yielded hundreds of thousands of spiritual crystals.

This is a significant benefit for a regular Sequence 6, which explains why the Holy Continent has rules limiting the number of animals that can be hunted.

However, as long as one has the ability to fight against the Beast King, then such rules can be completely ignored.

Ultimately, the essence of the extraordinary world is the survival of the fittest; as long as you demonstrate enough strength, you can do whatever you want.

As Rosen was preparing to hunt for new prey, he noticed a faint white cross mark on the back of his left hand.

These are the traces left by hunting giant beasts. When the white turns redder and redder, and there is no white left, the beast king will attack. He was very curious about how many beast kings there were on the Holy Continent, and how these beast kings appeared in front of him.

It should be noted that for powerful extraordinary beings, the Beast King is an extremely rare prey that they would never even dream of encountering.

Rosen released the Hunter's Eye to detect high in the sky, and the Ash Curtain also projected some Storm Thunderbirds into the sky, which then scattered.

He quickly found new prey and immediately teleported into the void to approach and hunt it down.

In just a few days, nearly a hundred giant beasts had fallen to Rosen's gun.

All the time was spent searching for prey. Behemoths below Sequence 6 could not be hunted, and it was unclear whether hunting behemoths above Sequence 6 would affect the appearance of the Beast King. Since only Sequence 6 beasts could be hunted, the search took up a lot of time.

Rosen looked at the giant beast lying on the ground at his feet, picked it up from his scavenging space, and sent it to his territory for dissection.

Not all giant beasts are like that monstrous shark; the bones and flesh of the vast majority of giant beasts have high value.

Rosen looked at the scarlet cross on the back of his hand, preparing to face the Beast King.

However, the next moment, the mark on the back of his hand erupted with a strong spatial fluctuation, sweeping him away from the Holy Continent.

Looking at the mysterious space that resembled a gladiatorial arena, Rosen suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

He wondered where all these beast kings came from on the Holy Continent.

As expected, the one he was about to face was probably not the real Beast King at all, but a fake Beast King materialized from this mysterious space.

Rosen looked up at the stands, where spectators were beginning to appear one after another.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, he's a nobleman. Does he think he's just having fun fighting the giant beast?

"Outsider, I bet you'll win. You absolutely cannot die at the feet of the Beast King..."

"Outsider, I bet you'll lose. If you dare win, I'll make sure you have a hard time even if you want to die..."

"Outsiders, I love seeing your expressions of despair..."

As Rosen watched the rising and falling shouts from the stands, he could barely contain his murderous intent.

He sensed the spatial coordinates left on the Sacred Continent, activated the void phase of the Fairy Dragon Ball, tore through space, and disappeared.

However, as soon as he returned to the Holy Continent, the mark on the back of his left hand immediately distorted space again.

Rosen tore off a piece of flesh from the back of his left hand, not giving the cross mark a chance to transfer, and directly swallowed the mark into his Gluttonous Stomach, which immediately severed the pull of the mysterious space on him.

In the mysterious arena, the announcer, watching the ever-growing audience, broke out in a cold sweat.

If the performers leave, can the audience members who have already paid for their tickets accept that?

The Moore family has lost face, and he, as a member of a collateral branch of the Moore family, may very well become the scapegoat.

It's all that damned outsider's fault. He offended the Moore family and he'll never have a good end.

Rosen was unaware that he had already gained a potential enemy upon his arrival.

He simply activated the intrusion mode of the main computer in the mysterious study and then investigated information that could not be found on the surface.

It turns out that hunting one hundred behemoths of the same level in the Sacred Continent does indeed attract the appearance of the Beast King.

The Beast King's descent from the Spirit Realm into reality is both a warning and a test, as well as a reward.

However, because the Holy Continent allows the hunting of Beast Kings, over time this has attracted many powerful outsiders who specifically come to challenge the Beast Kings.

The native superhumans of the Holy Continent were outraged, believing that outsiders had seized their resources.

Therefore, later on, some forces on the Holy Continent, in order to prevent their own beast kings from being hunted by outsiders, used various means to distort the rules. The arena where he was teleported was a result of the Moore family's methods.

The rules set by the World Government are distorted and altered by these forces on the Holy Continent.

And then they can hide related information in the deep web of the spirit world. It seems that the world government's rule is really in trouble?

Rosen shook his head, saying that given the size of the World Government, it was unlikely that any major problems would arise.

It's likely just a power struggle among high-level officials that rendered some rules ineffective.

However, none of this concerned him. Rosen was only focused on hunting down the Beast King, and he would eliminate anyone who got in his way.

Because the rules have been changed, outsiders have no way of getting close to the true Beast King.

Rosen opened the Void Sketchbook, picked up his brush, and began to draw, quickly creating a series of portraits.

These portraits are of the spectators in the stands who spoke rudely to him in that Colosseum.

Don't think that you can talk big without paying the price; you'll get a free death sentence.

Doing this would definitely offend many nobles of the Holy Continent, but he had already used his acting skills beforehand when he noticed the spatial distortion. If they had the ability, they could follow the clues and find him.

Two hours later, Rosen finished the last portrait.

A total of 37 people were involved. The self-portrait clone, cloaked in the Grim Reaper's cloak, harvested the spirituality of 35 of them. Of the remaining two, one was a Sequence 4 and could not be harvested, while the other had something to save his life and escaped the calamity.

In addition to successfully killing 35 people with his death curse, Rosen also captured three survivors.

Since the three people were not alone, they also captured the people around them and killed them as well.

Rosen casually dealt with two of them, leaving the last one. He then painted a portrait of the person in the painting and sealed it inside.

Since outsiders will be framed for hunting giant beasts, is it possible to hunt them with the help of locals?

Rosen tried giving up the final blow, but it didn't count as a kill.

It's not surprising, really. If they could get someone else to deliver the final blow, the locals could easily lure out the Beast King.

It seems I still need to find a way to become a local of the Holy Continent.

The Holy Continent is too vast, and the Divine Wood Empire, where the Moore family resides, is far from being able to control everything.

Moreover, the Moore family was just an old hereditary ducal family. The sudden death of 35 nobles, including six hereditary nobles, and all of them were related to the Beast King Arena run by the Moore family, directly put the Moore family under tremendous pressure on its reputation.

While the Moore family was frantically searching for Rosen, Rosen had already arrived in the Wood Elf Duchy, a subordinate territory of the Divine Wood Empire.

The entire Wood Elf Duchy has only one city.

Moreover, over 60% of the city's residents are wood elves, an elven branch subordinate to human civilization. Without exception, all the human nobles within the duchy possess the extraordinary bloodline of wood elves.

Rosen also decided to come to the Wood Elf Duchy after accidentally discovering a bounty in the Spirit Realm's Deep Web.

Sky Garden, the capital city of the Wood Elf Kingdom.

This is a city in the sky tens of thousands of meters above the ground, built on the top of a Sequence 3 Ancient Tree of Life.

A city built entirely of plants, where no uninvited outsiders are welcome.

As Lawson approached the Tree of Life, a Sequence 4 Wood Elf was already ghost-like in the jungle, drawing near to him.

"Humans are not welcome here."

The wood elf looked at Rosen indifferently and said...

"I have accepted the task of healing the ancient tree of life."

Rosen said calmly.

"Welcome, friend of the wood elf."

The wood elf instantly changed its demeanor, personally leading Lawson up the spiraling vine staircase that winds around the ancient tree of life. Lawson didn't even need to move; the vine staircase moved upwards on its own, just like an elevator.
