Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 197 The Fall of Stars and the Division of the Inheritance

Chapter 196

"The Vengeful Watchers..."

"Izana, who narrowly escaped death, said with lingering fear."

Those who knew the Lords of the Avengers were almost all filled with fear, for they were one of the strongest ranks of the Elven race.

To become a Vengeful Watcher, one must first become an ordinary Watcher. Then, the entire Elven race must be wiped out except for oneself. In this case, the last Watcher will absorb the hatred of the Tree of Life and the race and be transformed into a Vengeful Watcher.

This is a formidable character, no less powerful than the Divine Race or the Beast King. No wonder it could instantly kill a Sequence 6 Gourmet.

Rosen was confident he could take down the Vengeful Watchers, but he hesitated inwardly.

He was only a Sequence 5, yet he killed a Sequence 4 Vengeful Watcher, a level above him.

This is too exaggerated. He doesn't want to die silently like that nameless demigod painter.

A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind; he had no powerful backers to protect him from the storm.

If he were to stand out too much and attract attention, it would definitely do him more harm than good.

The key point is that there are no spoils to be gained from hunting them, so he doesn't want to show off.

But now that he's run into the Vengeful Watchers in this area, he can't just stay trapped on the hotel rooftop like this.

It's only been a few years, how are we going to get through the next forty years?
Rosen took out his identity card and chose to request assistance from the Palace of Stars.

There are several Sequence 3 mobile forces at the Palace of Stars, specifically responsible for rescuing areas that are unable to hold out, and at the very least, for sending the artists there to other areas. If it weren't for this force, many of the Divine Realm lords would probably have already banded together and fled.

When it comes to cities with large populations, one can also talk about the noble cause of protecting humanity.

The City of Stars is full of extraordinary beings, while ordinary people live in the Spirit Realm and can easily transfer there.

Therefore, what is being protected is not ordinary humans, but countless spiritual works of art in the City of Stars.

Several hours later, three demigods descended from the sky and passed through the spatial fault formed by the fusion of the two realms in this area.

Moments later, a fierce battle broke out near the hotel.

On the rooftop, all the lords of the divine realm joined forces, each releasing the elemental barriers of their respective divine realm lord castles. They then merged these elemental barriers into one, and with the addition of the incredibly powerful metal slime, they managed to block the aftershocks of the nearby battle.

Two hours passed before the three demigods, who had arrived hastily, finally left after several attempts to ambush them.

However, when they left, they did leave behind a small amount of spiritual crystals as a supply.

Rosen continued his relentless hunt, though strictly speaking, he actually profited from this war.

Because he hunts spirit beings, although he cannot obtain spiritual resources, he can still obtain the power of time.

This is also due to the combination of the two divine powers of Gluttony's Stomach and Greedy Hand after Sequence 5, plus the assistance of the Tower of Time, which gave him the ability to integrate the power of time into spiritual crystals. Although the loss is not small, the time-attribute spiritual crystals produced are more valuable.

Of course, there is a price to pay for depriving the spirit world of its life-giving power, so Rosen has to feed the spirit world some spiritual crystals from time to time.

In recent years, the value of extraordinary resources and treasures produced by humans has plummeted in the main temple of gods.

Clearly, they were beings of great destiny from another race, and they could see that no amount of spiritual crystals the human race possessed was enough.

Therefore, they tacitly manipulated the market, using the Temple of the Main God to acquire resources and treasures sold by the Great Fortune Masters of the Human Race at low prices.

However, good things are still rare, and they are mostly for those with great fortune. Only a few people lack spiritual crystals.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and Rosen's spiritual strength grew to 53 points through constant killing.

A two-point increase in spiritual strength in just seven years is enough to make most Sequence 5s envious and jealous.

However, Rosen was not satisfied, because he thought he could gain even more by going out to hunt giant beasts.

His dedication to guarding the City of Stars stemmed primarily from the merit he gained from hunting spiritual beings. Where else could he find so many endless spiritual beings to earn merit?

Rosen can still hold on, but the other divine lords in the hotel area can't.

Because in the past two years, the supplies sent from the Palace of Stars have been decreasing.

More and more divine lords are fleeing from the surrounding areas, and if this continues, the City of Stars will not last more than fifty years.

Rosen knew without a doubt that the Star Palace, hundreds of thousands of miles above the ground, was in big trouble.

Therefore, support for those below is decreasing, and if this continues, Rosen feels that he will have to consider leaving in another year or two.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to part with it. After seven years of hard work, he had earned enough merit to be granted a hereditary earldom.

Using all these merits is enough to obtain a Sequence 5 exchange right for a Treasure Vault.

With just a little more savings, Rosen will be able to exchange for the miracle treasure he has his eye on.

However, sometimes, the unexpected is just one step away from success.

On this day, as usual, Rosen teamed up with Shadia to hunt down spirit beings.

Because he didn't want others to know his true strength, he had to hide some of his power when hunting in recent years.

However, he didn't want to affect efficiency, so he and Xiadiya hit it off immediately and began a perfect collaboration after understanding each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Although Shadya is arrogant, she has exceptional talent in the musician category.

The symphony played by the band together was enough to more than double the combat power of his troops.

As a result, even Rosen became somewhat tempted and wanted to maintain a long-term friendship with Shadia.

However, this friendship is destined to be broken today.

Rosen looked up at the sky. With the super-high visual enhancement of the Hunter God's Eye, he could barely make out a person's facial features even 100,000 miles away when there were no obstructions. However, he had not been able to see the battlefield on the other side of the Star Palace for many years.

The reason is simple: the fusion of the spirit world and reality created a special spatial discontinuity.

Secondly, the combat distortion space at Sequence 1 level caused him to be unable to see anything with his Hunter's Eye.

However, today Rosen actually saw it, because he saw the Palace of Stars disintegrating.

Rosen immediately realized that the Palace of Stars had been defeated.

This means that the City of Stars cannot be defended, and everyone may face the might of Sequence 1.

Rosen instinctively decided to run, but the Palace of Stars was crashing faster than he had imagined.

The Star Palaces that had been dissected mostly fell into the various fusion zones of the Star City below, including the hotel area where he was located. At the same time, his identity card received a red alert.

Even though Sequence 0 descended from the depths of the spirit world, the Star Palace should have been able to hold out for decades without any problems.

However, since the Palace of Stars was the first area to merge during this partial fusion of the Spirit Realm and the Reality Realm, a miraculous treasure of Sequence 2 quality was unexpectedly born in the Palace of Stars.

Then the miraculous treasure was stolen by the only son of the current Star Emperor.

While fleeing, this person also stole almost all the spiritual crystals stored in the Star Palace.

The fact that they've been able to survive these past few years is entirely due to the private wealth of the current generation of emperors and stars.

However, this one was also nearing its end, which led to the disintegration of the Palace of Stars.

The current Star Emperor can withstand the arrival of Sequence 1 from the Spirit Realm for less than a month. This month is the evacuation period for everyone. As for the active dismantling of the Star Palace and dispersing it to various regions, this can be considered the Star Empire's final compensation.

How much benefit one can gain from it depends on one's own abilities.

Of course, these benefits weren't free. The various spiritual realms that housed ordinary people from the City of Stars were originally protected by the Palace of Stars. Now that the Palace of Stars has been split up, these spiritual realms that housed a large number of ordinary people have also fallen into disrepair.

When they leave after receiving the benefits, they also need to take these spiritual realms with them.

However, after the Palace of Stars disintegrated, these were all delicacies coveted by the spirit realm. Taking these spirit realms away would inevitably lead to rejection by the spirit realm and leave behind future troubles.

Therefore, one should act according to one's ability, but those who are capable will almost never let go of any opportunity.

Artists promote the spiritual needs of human civilization.

However, not all art is accessible to everyone; many types of art are completely incomprehensible to ordinary people without an artistic background.

What to do in this situation? Either take it easy or cultivate ordinary people's ability to appreciate art.

The City of Stars is said to have a total of 300 billion ordinary people, a number that far exceeds the empire's limit and even far exceeds that of all cities. The reason for this is that the Star Empire has been cultivating the level of appreciation for various arts among ordinary people for 20,000 years.

These 300 billion ordinary people, passed down through generations, are said to provide endless artistic faith.

Therefore, the emperors of other empires are all titled demigods of Sequence 2, but the emperor of the Star Empire is the architect of Gundam Sequence 1.

Other empires cultivate Sequence 1, but the Star Empire wants to cultivate Sequence 0.

Rosen put the ID card back in his pocket and returned to the hotel rooftop to wait silently.

Falling from a height of 100,000 miles, the speed couldn't be too fast. So it took a full three hours for a cluster of starlight, about a mile in diameter, to fall into the jungle near the hotel.

All the lords of the divine realm on the hotel rooftop rushed towards the starlight without waiting.

After Rosen approached through the void, he saw a small courtyard with a garden through the starlight.

The garden was filled with Sequence 4 extraordinary plants, and there were even some Sequence 3 extraordinary plants in the center.

First come, first served; when you're caught, you're out. This is no time to hold back.

However, after Rosen entered the garden, he discovered that the extraordinary plants around him were just illusions. The extraordinary plants that originally grew here should have been harvested. What he had just seen were just illusions created by the power of stars.

However, as Rosen arrived at the center of the garden, he saw a real Sequence 3 extraordinary plant.

This is a tree that is no more than three meters tall and surrounded by starlight. There is also a small hexagonal flower bed under the tree.

Although he didn't recognize him, Rosen still used the Void Shadow Realm to instantly take him away.

Rosen continued to observe his surroundings, and his eyes fell on a water tank with layers of openwork that prevented water from flowing out.

This water tank is definitely a sculptor's masterpiece, and its sequence level is at least Sequence 4.
The Void Shadow Realm instantly took away the water tank, and by this time, other divine realms had also arrived at the courtyard one after another.

Seeing the garden brought initial joy, but stepping inside only brought disappointment.

Everyone started frantically tearing down the house. They dug up the soil from the garden, dug up the paving stones outside, and even demolished the exquisite house, which was like a work of art. In a short time, only a few things remained in the entire courtyard.

They consist of a painting of a spirit realm, a master tape of a spirit realm, and a novel about a spirit realm.

The novel and the painting are a set; both the painting and the master tape of the spirit realm are inhabited by a large number of humans.

However, these have all been targeted by the spirit world. Taking them away will inevitably lead to rejection from the spirit world unless one is willing to offer an equivalent amount of spiritual crystals to the spirit world. Otherwise, one will inevitably be targeted by the spirit world.

Even after fifty years have passed, it will be difficult to enter the spirit world in one's true form.

Therefore, without enough spiritual crystals, they dared not take these three spiritual realms away.

But if we don't take them with us, everyone in the Spirit Realm will die.

Those Sequence 6 lords turned and left, leaving behind only eight hesitant Sequence 5 lords.

They first tried to take away the spirit realm, and then felt the intensity of the spirit realm's rejection.

Then, they took out some spiritual crystals, estimated the amount of spiritual crystals needed to dispel the repulsion from the spirit realm, and finally decided to join forces to take over the spirit realm mother belt and then divide the population inside into their respective divine territories.

No one called out to Rosen, not even Shadya.

Because at this point, Rosen had to continuously produce spiritual crystals after putting away the water tank.

No one thought that after he took the water tank, he would have any extra spiritual crystals left to take the novel and painting.

A day later, Shadya and the others, having successfully redeemed the Spirit Mother from the Spirit Realm, departed.

Rosen then stopped hiding his true intentions and frantically took out the spiritual crystals he had on hand.

In the end, they even had to sell all the stored Water of Life and Essence of Life through the main temple, as well as some of the Time-attribute Spiritual Crystals, before they could finally get all three treasures: the water tank, the novel, and the painting.

Rosen checked one last time to make sure nothing was missed before activating the Void Phase and making his escape.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away, Rosen slipped into the mysterious study to check his findings.

【Thousand Lakes Water Tank: A Sculpture of a Spiritual Realm】

[Level: Sequence 4]

[Scope: One thousand lakes with a radius of ten li (approximately 5 kilometers)]

Life Count: 20

[Specialty Products: Various extraordinary aquatic creatures and plants]

This is another production-type spiritual realm, producing tens of millions of spiritual crystals every year.

After placing the Thousand Lakes Water Tank in Ash Castle, Rosen immediately took out the Spirit Realm Painting and began refining it.

[Art Empire: Paintings of a Spiritual Realm]

[Level: Sequence 4]

[Area: A radius of 10,000 li]

Population: 50 billion

Specialty: Art and Faith

Rosen only realized he had stumbled upon a great treasure after refining the painting of the spiritual realm.

There is no supernatural power within this spiritual realm, which is why the space is so vast and why the population is so large. The five billion people living in the Art Empire are unaware of the World Government or the existence of supernatural sequences.

Rosen ultimately refined the Spirit Realm novel, which was entirely an adjunct to the Spirit Realm paintings.

[The Origins of Art: Fate Novels]

[Level: Sequence 4]

[Attribute: Ability to manipulate the fate of everyone in the art empire]

[Specialty Product: The Crystallization of Artistic Belief]

Rosen went back to study the painting "Art Empire" and finally understood why the two were a perfect match.

He had previously wondered why the world government would almost never allow 5 billion people to be confined within the Spirit Realm painting and prevent them from coming into contact with supernatural powers. Now he understood what was going on: these 5 billion people were not people in the true sense of the word.

These 50 billion people did not migrate from reality, but were originally born in the spiritual realm as depicted by the painter.

Just like the people he resurrected in the Ironwood Town based on historical traces, these 50 billion people are also people who died in history, only they were resurrected in the Spirit Realm by the painter capturing historical traces and adding the finishing touch.

Therefore, the human rights of these 50 billion people are not many, which is why painters and novelists collaborated to create the novel "The Origin of Art," a work of destiny.

This novel can manipulate the fate of 50 billion people in an art empire. Under this manipulation, everyone's life is a pursuit of art, everyone's level of art appreciation is very high, and it can provide an endless stream of artistic faith.

Rosen carefully put away the book and the painting, knowing that he might have to rely on these two treasures to become a demigod in the future.

Finally, he took out the tree he had dug up from the garden and carefully examined it; it turned out to be a starfruit tree.

The extraordinary plant of sequence 3 can absorb the power of stars to grow Star Fruit. It is not only an extraordinary material of stars, but eating it can also greatly improve the efficiency of spiritual growth. There are only ten Star Fruit trees in the entire Star Palace.

Therefore, the small courtyard near the hotel must have a relatively high status within the Palace of Stars.

Rosen sat by the window, gazing in the direction of the City of Stars.

It's such a shame that he didn't even get a proper look at the City of Stars; this sanctuary for artists has been destroyed right under his nose.

A month later, Rosen witnessed the final palace of stars being captured by the spirit world deep in the sky.

At the same time, he learned something through the deep web of the spirit world.

The current Star Emperor has fallen, perishing together with the Sequence 1 spirit being who descended into reality. This is the first Sequence 1 to die in this conflict between the two realms, but it will definitely not be the last.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult for such a being to leave, and it shouldn't end up in a situation where they perish together with the enemy.

So, out of curiosity, Rosen hacked into the intelligence bureau of the Spirit Realm Deep Web Star Empire.

It turns out that the current Star Emperor wanted to become Sequence 0, but taking this step was either life or death. The real reason why the City of Stars fell so quickly this time was that the Star Emperor failed to break through and was severely injured by the backlash.

That's why they were forced to fight to the death, and that's why no one from the World Government came to their rescue.

Rosen shook his head. He had previously thought that the Emperor of the Stars was a good person, after all, he had gained huge benefits after dismantling the Palace of the Stars.

It seems that this Star Emperor is really ruthless, betting the entire City of Stars on his chance to advance to Sequence 0.

Within two days, Rosen had already decided where he would go next.

Of course, his main focus is still hunting down spirit beings, but this time he needs to hide his true identity. Only in this way can he use his full strength. Otherwise, he will be too restrained and won't dare to openly kill beings like the Vengeful Watchers.

With that thought in mind, Rosen prepared to head to Shanhe City, as he quite liked that city.

Therefore, he wouldn't mind hunting spirit beings there to earn merit if he could do his part to protect that city.

The void phase teleported to the vicinity, and sure enough, the entire Mountain and River City was partially merged with the Spirit Realm space.

The Star Empire's virtual network hadn't collapsed yet, so Rosen quickly learned about the situation in Mountain and River City.

The situation in Shanhe City is much better; the highest-ranking spirit beings placed here by the spirit world will not exceed Sequence 4.

This was enough for Rosen to rack up merits without any scruples.
