Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 198 Demigod Ecologist and Promotion Sequence 5 Noble
Chapter 197

Rosen activates his role-playing skill, transforming himself into a Sequence 5 hunter.

He grasped the Dragon King's Wrath, which had transformed into a bow and arrow, and easily traversed the spatial fault line outside the fusion zone using his Slothful Feet.

Today, Shanhe City is in ruins, with only the core area within a few miles remaining intact.

Outside the core area, everything has been reduced to ruins.

A three-thousand-meter-high city wall surrounds the inner city, stubbornly resisting the tidal wave of spirit beings.

Thousands of artists, ranging from Sequence 9 to Sequence 4, stood guard on the city walls, protecting the last vestiges of the ancient city.

"This is considered a good situation..."

Rosen said with lingering fear.

Are those cities in bad shape already on the verge of complete collapse?
The Star Empire was the most affected by this upheaval in the Spirit Realm. This was because the artists wanted to turn cities into giant spiritual works of art, which led the starving Spirit Realm to deploy more troops than it could handle.

After observing carefully for a while, Rosen realized that the situation in Shanhe City was indeed alright.

Unlike the City of Stars, which chose not to abandon any spiritual buildings, the City of Mountains and Rivers chose to cut off its limbs to survive from the very beginning, abandoning everything except the core inner city and letting the spirit world devour it.

This makes the cake smaller, resulting in fewer troops being deployed from the spirit world.

Those Sequence 4 transcendents on the city walls are fully capable of wiping out the spirit world life outside the city.

However, they did not do that. Instead, they deliberately let the water flow, resulting in an increasing number of low-level spirit beings outside the city walls.

The spirit world's consumption of the spiritual energy of the real world is merely an instinct, and Shanhe City is deceiving this instinct.

By portraying the spirit world as weak and insignificant, as if mountains and rivers are nothing to fear, the spirit world will not send too many spirit beings to it. After all, the places where spirits descend into reality are scattered throughout the human world, and the number of spirit beings that the spirit world can create at the same time is limited.

If there are still many spirit beings here who haven't died in battle, they naturally won't waste their resources here.

However, this makes it harder for Rosen to grind monsters here.

Otherwise, the more ruthlessly they kill, the more and stronger the spirit beings from the spirit world will be sent here.

In the end, he earned enough merit and left, but he also ruined Shanhe City.

Rosen was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, still shaken, and stood motionless.

He is currently concealing his presence through the Void Realm, so even a regular Sequence 3 shouldn't be able to detect him.

However, he did have a feeling that someone was looking for him.

Rosen instantly shut down his five senses, and then opened the door to the mysterious study with his feet.

The moment the door opened, they fell into the mysterious study.

Only then did Rosen breathe a sigh of relief and look out the window.

It's obvious that only a demigod could detect him hiding in the Void Realm.

He deliberately shuts off his five senses because if a demigod were to reveal himself and his five senses detected the demigod, the demigod might be able to lock onto him in return. A demigod skilled in perception would certainly not lack the means to track him in reverse.

Rosen couldn't help but wonder to himself, how could a demigod be hiding in Shanhe City at a time like this?

Moreover, judging from the situation, this demigod was very vigilant, constantly probing to see if anyone had entered this fusion area. If he hadn't been actively probing, it would have been impossible to discover him hiding in the Void Shadow Realm so quickly.

Rosen even suspected that this demigod might be after him.
"Rosen, where are you hiding?"

The sounds coming from outside the window completely confirmed Rosen's guess.

This demigod was definitely after him.

It's likely that this demigod knew in advance that he would come to Shanhe City through some kind of precognitive means.

So we wait here, hoping he'll come to us.

However, the Void Shadow Realm's ability to conceal itself was too strong, so they couldn't capture him immediately.

By the time he hid in the mysterious study, the demigod had tried various methods but could no longer find him.

That's why I had to take the initiative to speak up and probe, hoping to draw out his weakness.

"This is really bizarre. Who would be targeting me at this time?"

Rosen muttered to himself.

Completely baffled, he decided to take the initiative to test and force the demigod to reveal himself.

"If you haven't shown yourself, why should I?"

Rosen's voice came through the window.

He almost immediately sensed people passing by the window, and after a moment a middle-aged man wearing a hat appeared at the window.

Rosen's pupils contracted the instant he saw the man, for this man was none other than the only son of the Emperor of the Stars.

Adel Price, the Spirit Web still has a warrant for his arrest.

This is a Sequence 3 scientist branch ecologist. Before his death, the Emperor of the Stars issued an arrest warrant for Adel. It can be said that the Emperor of the Stars hated Adel to death. If he hadn't stolen the spiritual crystal, the Star Palace could have lasted for at least another ten years.

With a buffer period of more than ten years, even if the Star Emperor fails to advance to Sequence 0, he may not necessarily die.

Rosen couldn't understand why Adel, with whom he had no grudge, would target him.
"I'm out, why aren't you out yet?"

Adel asked calmly.

However, beneath the surface calm, Adel used all of his sensory abilities.

When Rosen looks at him, he will sense something.

Rosen breathes, and he will hear it.

When Rosen heard his voice, it was equivalent to accepting the message he had conveyed through language.

Unless Rosen ignores everything, no one can escape his reverse perception.

But he just couldn't find Rosen. Rosen had spoken just now, but he still couldn't find Rosen.

If Rosen, a mere Sequence 5, can achieve this level of skill, it's no wonder he has the ability to disrupt the balance of the natural ecosystem.

Adel pondered for a moment, then sat down on the spot, seemingly intending to just wait it out with Rosen.

Rosen looked out the window at Adel not far away, and could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

He instantly arrived on the Dark Continent. Upon seeing any dark creatures, the Dragon King's Wrath would shoot them down, stripping them of their lifespan and converting it into the power of time.

Once the Time Dragon Crystal was fully charged with the power of time, he went to the window and aimed at Adel.

The time bullet vanished instantly in the present, then reappeared three seconds into the future via a future silencer, striking Adel.

Three seconds later, Adel's arm was hit by a time bullet.

Feeling the two thousand years of lifespan instantly disappear from his body, he looked at the origin of the bullet but could not find a trace.

Adel's expression darkened; he realized he had underestimated Rosen.

I initially thought he simply possessed some powerful artifact from another dimension, but now it seems his true strength is extraordinary.

With each shot, he has a lifespan of two thousand years. At most, three shots will hit him, and his remaining lifespan will be reset to zero.

Adel no longer dared to be arrogant. He appeared to be still sitting in the same spot, but in reality, he had left behind a clone. As for his main body, he had already hidden it away, and he would never give Rosen a second chance to hit his main body.

Rosen looked at Adel, who was still sitting in the same spot, put down the Dragon King's Wrath, and picked up a paintbrush instead.

Even with the accelerated pace of time, it still took him three days to complete Adel's portrait.

After completing the portrait, Rosen recharged the Time Dragon Crystal.

Once charging is complete, the death sentence unfolds instantly.

The self-portrait clone, draped in a death cloak and wielding a death scythe, enters Adel's sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows within the painting.

Through the portrait, we can directly lock onto Adel's true form and enter the sea of ​​consciousness of that form.

Rosen aimed at Adel in the painting and fired a time bullet. The time bullet followed the self-portrait clone into Adel's sea of ​​consciousness, giving him no chance to dodge. The bullet hit him and stripped him of two thousand years of life.

However, his self-portrait clone also died, destroyed by Adel's counterattack from his sea of ​​consciousness.

If he couldn't withstand another shot, he would die. Adel finally realized that he might actually die at Rosen's hands.

The first time could be explained by carelessness, but the second time truly demonstrated how terrifying Rosen was.

To leave or to continue? Leaving meant losing four thousand years of lifespan, almost cutting off his chance to advance further.

We have no choice but to stay and sacrifice ourselves for a greater future.

Several hours later, Adel stopped hiding his true identity.

Instead, he openly appeared beside the clone, then casually plucked off the clone's head and killed it with his own hands.

Adel spread his arms, aiming at the source of the first bullet's trajectory.

Rosen looked at Adel, who seemed to be saying "Come at me," and hesitated about whether to fire a third shot.

In the end, he still used charged shots. No matter what Adel's plans were, as long as he stayed in the mysterious study, he could not be threatened. So he went to the Dark Continent for the third time to hunt down the creatures there and deprive them of their lifespan.

The time bullet traveled away through the future silencer and struck Adel squarely between the eyebrows three seconds later.

Adel's body began to dissolve, his eyes filled with disbelief, resentment, and incomprehension before he died.

Rosen looked into the scavenging space and saw five loot orbs.

Crushing the first one yielded a full 30 billion high-grade spiritual crystals, which translates to a full 300 trillion low-grade ones.

It is worth noting that reviving the Life Spirit civilization and transforming it into a Sequence 2 Spirit Realm painting would only require 600 billion.

This means that these Spirit Crystals are equivalent to 50 Sequence 2 Spirit Paintings.

No wonder the Palace of Stars collapsed so quickly.

Crush the second orb of light to obtain a Sequence 2 Miracle Treasure.

Rosen eagerly tossed it into the Miracle Pocket; this must be the miracle treasure stolen from the Palace of Stars after its creation.

[Ecological Planetarium: A Miraculous Treasure]

[Level: Sequence 2]

[Miracle Attribute: Able to determine the ecological balance of all things through celestial phenomena]

[Miracle Characteristics: Celestial Prophecy, Ecological Laws, Uniqueness of Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Immortal]

After carefully examining the Ecological Planetarium through the Miracle Pocket, Rosen immediately understood why Adel had stolen it. This item was an invaluable treasure to ecologists; with it, Adel's chances of becoming a Sequence 1, or even a Sequence 0, would greatly increase. As for why he stole it, it was because the Ecological Planetarium consumed too much power.

Casting a celestial prophecy once consumes one hundred million high-grade spiritual crystals.

To unleash the ecological law once, one must consume at least 100 billion high-grade spiritual crystals, with no upper limit.

With such staggering consumption, the results certainly won't disappoint.

The celestial prophecy is easy to understand; Adel probably used this as a basis to target him.

The unique miracle characteristic of ecological laws is even more powerful, because theoretically even ecologists at Sequence 0 might not be able to master this ability.

Because ecological laws can modify natural ecological laws, such as altering food chains.

Originally, the food chain was cats eating mice. Modifying the ecological laws could permanently reverse this to mice eating cats.

The original environment of the Holy Continent was suitable for the survival of giant beasts, but altering the ecological laws could lead to the complete extinction of the giant beasts.

The ecological laws, when fully exploited to their maximum potential, could be altered in a way that would wipe out some small and medium-sized civilizations.

Rosen carefully put away the ecological planetarium; this thing should never be used unless absolutely necessary.

He couldn't even let anyone know, otherwise he would be coveted by the true god.

Rosen crushed the third orb of light, which contained Adel's divine domain.

Now that Adel has died of old age, his sequence tree has also begun to collapse. After the spoils of light sphere are crushed, the divine territory can only exist for a maximum of one hour. Upon careful investigation, it was found that there was not a single resident in the entire divine territory.
This was clearly not normal until Rosen saw a huge ritual array at the lord's castle.

Then, in the center of the formation, he saw a familiar cross.

Rosen released Shadow Fiend to retrieve the cross, then put it into the Miracle Pocket for identification. Sure enough, it was another Resurrection Cross.

However, the characteristic of his resurrection cross is resurrection, while the characteristic of this one is possession.

By sacrificing their own kind, they can possess the bodies of their own kind.

Rosen now understood why Adel had calmly allowed himself to be shot a third time.

Adel must have sacrificed all his people, and combined this with the possession-possession properties of the Resurrection Cross to set up this possession ritual formation. If he hadn't been hiding in the mysterious study, Adel would have already possessed him the moment he was killed.

This seems to be a form of possession and substitution at the causal level; without the mysterious study, he would have died in Adel's place.

Rosen carefully dismantled the ritual array, especially the nine crystals inside that were filled with boundless spiritual energy. These were likely the things that Adel sacrificed to create his people, and also the energy source of the ritual array.

He hopes he'll never need this thing and would prefer to resell it.

Rosen crushed the fourth orb of light and obtained a piece of source material equipment. He understood from the disappearance of Adel's body after his death that Adel must have turned into source material equipment. After taking a look, he found that this Sequence 3 source material equipment possessed some of the power of an ecologist.

However, he didn't need it, so after thinking it over, he decided to give it to Alicia.

With the fifth and final orb, Rosen obtained a skill crystal.

The Sequence 5 skill crystal, this skill was originally the Ecologist's Sequence 3 skill.

However, after being transformed by the divine power of hunting, it ultimately became a special skill of Hunter Sequence 5.

Without hesitation, Rosen refined the skill, making it the second skill he mastered at Sequence 5.

[Food chain: You can mark your prey as lower than yourself in the food chain]

This special skill is extremely powerful. Any extraordinary life form with a spiritual intensity no higher than 12 points above him, once marked and locked by the food chain, will instinctively feel fear upon seeing him, just like a mouse seeing a cat.

Moreover, all his skill effects are greatly enhanced for the prey.

While there was still time, Rosen emptied Adel's divine territory as well.

He discovered that the soil in Adel's divine realm was also composite soil. Basically, before Sequence 2, his divine realm didn't need to worry about soil issues. It was just a pity that after Adel's death, the buildings in his territory all self-destructed.

Only some building ruins remain, piled up in a corner of the scavenging space, waiting to be decomposed into various extraordinary resources.

Although Adel was dead, Rosen himself did not leave the mysterious study as a precaution.

He simply released a self-portrait clone disguised as a hunter, which wandered the battlefield of Shanhe City, slowly hunting down spirit beings.

As for Rosen himself, he was studying the celestial prophecies of the Ecological Planetarium. He was still a little puzzled as to why Adel would approach him and try to possess him. If he wanted to kill him for his wealth, that would be understandable, but what was the point of possessing his body?
Is it the ancient god bloodline within him, or the seven deadly sins demon god bloodline within him?
Six months passed quickly, and Rosen had accumulated enough merits.

He immediately logged into the Spirit Realm Deep Web using the Star Emblem and then redeemed the Sequence 5 redemption permission for the Treasure Vault of Miracles.
Without hesitation, he finally exchanged for the miraculous treasure he had coveted for many years.

Five whole days passed before the messenger from the spirit world finally arrived to deliver the goods.

[The Protoss's Fang: A Miracle Treasure]

[Level: Sequence 5]

[Miracle Attribute: Able to absorb the blood of other life forms and convert it into its own blood]

[Miracle Traits: Blood Core, Blood Control, Life Transformation, Vampire Transformation, Unique in Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Undying]

This is a miraculous treasure transformed from two vampire fangs after the death of the vampire progenitor.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the level is only Sequence 5. That's only because the progenitor of the vampires is equivalent to Sequence 5. Not all progenitors of all races are very strong. On the contrary, many progenitors of races are very weak. It's just that their descendants have evolved to become stronger and stronger.

Although it is not of a high level, the Progenitor's Fang is definitely a sacred artifact of the vampires.

The value of exchanging this miraculous treasure is also astonishing. If it weren't for the fact that possessing it would subject one to relentless pursuit by the vampires, the actual value of the vampire fangs would be even higher.

After refining the progenitor's fangs, Rosen left Shanhe City to begin capturing giant beasts.

Once you catch one, immediately suck its blood to condense its blood core.

Once the blood core is formed, it can store a large amount of fresh blood inside.

Then, by combining blood control and life transformation, the continuous flow of blood is transformed into golden ancient god blood.

In less than a month, Rosen had accumulated enough ancient god blood to permeate and merge the entire divine realm.

However, just to be on the safe side, he spent another six months converting more ancient god blood.

In the end, all the soil in the entire divine realm was turned into mud by the blood of the ancient god. Rosen even turned the blood of the ancient god into a gaseous state to fill every inch of space in the divine realm before he was satisfied and prepared to use the ancient god's sacrificial arts to elevate the noble ranks.

Rosen used his divine power to communicate with the ancient tree of the noble lineage in the spirit world, while simultaneously offering sacrifices to the progenitor's fangs using ancient god ritual techniques.

Then, by using this ancient god ritual and the advancement in the noble rank, and by using the ancient god blood that has permeated the divine realm, one can master the unique skills of the second ancient god rank.

[Ancient God Source Realm: Ancient gods can transform the world into an Ancient God Source Realm]

It's a very simple skill description, but it's one of the core abilities of the Ancient God sequence.

The Abyss Plane is, unsurprisingly, a special Ancient God Source Realm.

This sequence skill itself was born from humans who possessed the bloodline of the ancient gods, imitating the power of the ancient gods.

The entire main world, strictly speaking, is the ultimate form of the Ancient God Source World.

This is far more powerful than the Divine Realm and the Divine Kingdom. So much so that the professional powers of Rosen Noble Sequence 5 were affected by the transformation of the Divine Realm into the Ancient Divine Source Realm, and began to give birth to new professional powers.

However, the new territory characteristics of the Divine Realm have already been introduced ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the new feature is not vampire transformation, but rather the unique territorial feature of the Blood Sanctuary.

Through this territorial characteristic, his divine domain can absorb any blood and transform it into the blood of ancient gods and the bloodline origin blood.

The Ancient God Origin Realm needs a continuous supply of Ancient God blood to grow stronger.

As for the source blood of the vampires, it is a treasure for cultivation for vampires.

Rosen also has a Sequence 4 Vampire Glory Realm painting, which features Sequence 4 Vampire Farah Simmons.

When he reaches Sequence 4, Farah will be his sixth pet, and also a hero among the vampire units in his territory.

A few hours later, Lawson's Sequence 5 professional powers were born.

[Ancient Scholars: Noble Rank 5 Occupational Powers]

[Attribute: You can read all the text and information of lost history, and then have a very low probability of obtaining historical imprints]

Rosen studied this professional power for a long time before he could roughly understand it.

Lost history is history that no one knows and that has been forgotten by the world.

The histories of these civilizations have been forgotten; not all the written texts of lost civilizations have survived.

However, he can now fully decipher the texts and information of lost civilizations, though he doesn't know what the purpose of this historical imprint is.

They may look similar to historical traces, but they are definitely different in essence.

Now all sequences have reached sequence 5, and spiritual strength has also increased to 54 points.

Rosen took out his treasured extraordinary architectural masterpiece, the Stage of Destiny, which, after being transformed by the divine computer, occupied the second skill slot in Sequence 5.

[Stage of Destiny: Divine Architecture]

[Level: Sequence 5]

[Attribute: The Stage of Destiny can transform the script of destiny into various forms of performance stages]

[Fate Scripts: Fate Casino, Fate Escape, Fate Puppet Show, Fate Musical, Fate Magic]

Without the Möbius strip, Rosen would definitely prefer to refine troop nest-type buildings.

After all, with the world gene pool, his unit nests are easier to upgrade.

But with the Möbius strip, the value of the stage of destiny increases dramatically.

Originally a transcendent building by the playwright, similar to a void gallery, it has been transformed into a territorial building capable of altering the environment of the divine realm.

Rosen attempted to activate the Destiny Casino, and the empty Divine Realm territory, which only contained the Lord's Castle, immediately transformed into a giant casino with a radius of 10.8 kilometers. This type of territory building, which directly alters the environment of the Divine Realm territory, is even rarer than troop nests.

Rosen removed the environmental cover from the Fate Casino and prepared to return to the Wood Elf Kingdom.

Through his intelligence network that had infiltrated the Holy Continent, he discovered that the Sky Garden of the Wood Elf Kingdom was in dire straits.

The reason is simple: the Tree of Life is a huge prize for the spirit world.

Although it is far inferior to the City of Stars, more than one demigod has descended outside the Sky Gardens.

If it weren't for the Wood Elf Queen's greatly increased combat power within the Life Domain of the Ancient Tree of Life, the Sky Garden would probably have already fallen.

Activating phase teleportation, Rosen left Mountain and River City and appeared a thousand miles away from the Ancient Tree of Life in the Wood Elf Kingdom.

Continuing forward, teleportation is no longer possible, as the area ahead is enveloped by the descending spirit realm.

After the Sloth Foot passed through the spatial rift, Rosen immediately saw two Sequence 3 spirit beings attacking the Life Domain. Through the Life Domain, he could clearly see that the leaves of the Ancient Tree of Life had become much sparser, which was the result of the continuous consumption of life essence.
