Chapter 202 The Seven Deadly Sins, the Demon Seed, and the Lullaby of Rest

Chapter 201

"After all this time, it turns out my ancient god bloodline is just a knock-off..."

Rosen's lips twitched.

While complaining, he began to think about how to resolve the conflict between the two bloodlines in his body.

Literally speaking, the counterfeit ancient god bloodline created from incomplete primitive human bloodlines should be inferior to the pure primitive human bloodline, since the pure primitive human bloodline is an extraordinary bloodline that only the power of the World Tree can nurture.

However, after careful comparison, Rosen discovered that the bloodline of the counterfeit ancient god was in no way inferior to that of the primitive human bloodline.

The reason is simple: many things are not necessarily more powerful the older they are, unless a supernatural system is declining.

The ancient god civilization was no pushover. They dared to name the bloodline they developed the ancient god bloodline because it surpassed its predecessors. In fact, the ancient god bloodline was in no way inferior to the bloodline of primitive humans.

Because both bloodlines are too powerful, neither can suppress the other, which is why they are constantly clashing within his body.

Given this situation, there was only one solution that Rosen could think of.

The blood of the ancient gods that originally flowed within their bloodlines was completely drained, leaving space for the bloodlines of primitive humans.

As for the bloodline of the ancient gods, it is integrated into the extraordinary source of the noble sequence, and then takes the opportunity to devour the demon god bloodline that was originally entrusted to the extraordinary source of the noble sequence. In this way, it is the same as the orthodox nobles, with two bloodlines, one relying on the body and the other relying on the extraordinary source.

As Rosen made his decision, the two extraordinary bloodlines within him began to separate.

The ancient god's bloodline, which had been powerfully integrated into the noble's extraordinary essence, also began a strong crackdown on the demon god's bloodline.

Originally, it would have taken many years for the ancient god bloodline to completely devour the demon god bloodline, but at this time, the primitive human bloodline also began to strongly assist the ancient god bloodline. It is estimated that the demon god bloodline will disappear from his body in at most two years.

The timeframe is roughly two weeks, which gives Rosen enough time to paint two more paintings of ancient war trees.

Since Amy has it, Alicia should have it too.

The more you draw, the more War Treants you will eventually produce.

Two weeks passed quickly, and the bloodline of the ancient god completely occupied the noble extraordinary essence that originally belonged to the bloodline of the demon god.

Moreover, the noble extraordinary source essence was originally dispersed into countless particle-sized individuals throughout the blood, but now the originally dispersed noble extraordinary source essence has actually condensed together, eventually condensing into a heart core the size of a marble inside the heart.

The Hunter's Extraordinary Essence, which was originally in the form of a heart card, is now constantly rotating around this heart core.

Rosen carefully sensed the core; his ancient god bloodline had awakened to one percent.

Aside from the fact that the World Gene Bank remained essentially unchanged, after the Ancient God bloodline devoured the Demon God bloodline, it retained the Seven Deadly Sins authority of the Demon God bloodline through the World Gene Bank, and even activated all of the Seven Deadly Sins authority at once.

The Seven Deadly Sins: The Authority of God

[Attribute: The Seven Deadly Sins can modify the soul, creating seven soul organs: the Stomach of Gluttony, the Hands of Greed, the Feet of Sloth, the Tongue of Seduction, the Eyes of Wrath, the Heart of Envy, and the Soul of Pride, and granting control over the corresponding rules and authority.]

Rosen could clearly feel that his soul had been completely transformed.

The study of the body and soul is no longer a secret in this day and age.

Those flesh-and-blood beings are basically spiritual beings who cultivate their bodies as a secondary pursuit.

Those beings that are not made of flesh and blood are basically those who primarily cultivate spirituality and secondarily cultivate their soul.

Before the spiritual system was established, the status of a spirit was determined by the status of the soul.

However, the spiritual system was later born. This is a magical power that originates from the soul, from life, and from self-awareness. For intelligent life, spirituality is a more important life essence than the soul. Since the emergence of spirituality, the soul has become less important.

Even the soul has value, mainly for the purpose of better protecting spirituality.

Although the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God is weak, he is still a Sequence 0 Demon God.

Therefore, the transformation of the soul was extremely powerful, and after this transformation, Rosen's soul strength increased many times over.

The four soul organs – Gluttony Stomach, Greedy Hand, Slothful Feet, and Enchanting Tongue – remain unchanged, and can still only affect sequences below 2. Therefore, the main changes lie in the three newly created soul organs.

Rosen sensed the Eye of Wrath and discovered that he could provoke an enemy's rage simply by making eye contact with them.

This soul organ possesses an extremely strong provocative ability; using this ability when one is not strong enough is tantamount to suicide.

However, if one is strong enough, the Eye of Wrath can drive someone to madness and irrationality.

Next, he sensed jealousy. He discovered that he could sense whether others were jealous of him. If they weren't jealous to begin with, he could forcefully incite that person's jealousy. If they were already jealous, he could also erase that jealousy.

Rosen finally sensed the Pride Soul, the core of the Seven Deadly Sins, which directly transformed his entire soul.

The power of the Pride Soul is simple: as long as one is arrogant enough, the strength of one's soul can be greatly enhanced, and one can even use the seven powers of the Seven Deadly Sins in combination when the Pride Soul is fully activated.

For example, if you incorporate jealousy into the Eye of Wrath, the Eye of Wrath can simultaneously ignite both the enemy's anger and jealousy.

For example, by combining gluttony and greed, the core of the gluttonous stomach is not digestion, but the refining and control of the life and matter that are about to be trapped in it. This is the true way to use the seven deadly sins. Only when the seven forces are united can they become the true seven deadly sins.

As the bloodlines of the ancient gods continue to awaken, the power of the Seven Deadly Sins will also grow in tandem.

Rosen familiarized himself with the changes in the bloodline of the ancient gods, and then turned his attention to the bloodline of primitive humans.

He inherited the bloodline, so his understanding of the bloodline of primitive humans surpasses his understanding of the bloodline of ancient gods.

The first thing this bloodline possesses is its extremely high compatibility. The bloodline of ancient gods is about devouring and fusing, while the bloodline of primitive humans is about embracing and integrating. They cannot coexist with the bloodline of ancient gods simply because the two bloodlines are too similar.

Inclusivity is not only reflected in blood ties, but more importantly in the fusion of laws and authority.

As long as it is a power that is directly controlled, Rosen can integrate it into the bloodline of primitive humans and use it directly with his life force. This means that if he can integrate the Seven Deadly Sins with the bloodline of primitive humans, he can directly integrate the seven powers of the Seven Deadly Sins into his Nen ability.

After reaching Sequence 5 in the Hunter Rank, Rosen had not further developed his Nen abilities.

This is a good opportunity to integrate the power of the Seven Deadly Sins into my Nen ability.

The whole process went smoothly, and Rosen even naturally developed a new Nen ability.

[Nen Ability LV7: Able to manipulate one's own life force (ki), combining spirituality to generate and control Nen ki]

[Divine Authority Trait: Grants the ability to fuse Nen with various laws of authority]

[Divine Authority Trait: Able to permanently consume Nen to strengthen one's soul and physique]

[The characteristics of divine authority: Creation, the seven deadly sins]

[Divine artifacts: God-Slaying Crossbow, Gluttonous Beast, God-Hunting Demon Eye, Golden Apple, Demon Seed]

A surge of spiritual energy rose from Rosen's hand, instantly condensing into a seed the size of a grain of rice.

This is the Gluttony Seed, containing the power of gluttony.

Greed Island, now home to millions of prisoners, including politicians from various countries and rebels who resolutely oppose the Church of God's rule over the human world, has been sent to this island to fend for themselves.

Rosen randomly selected a portly middle-aged man and then checked his information.

45 years old, mayor of a small city in a small country.

He was practically a local tyrant because he loved food, which led to a thriving restaurant industry in the city. Although this wasn't the mayor's original intention, judging by his actions rather than his intentions, he was initially quite popular.

However, perhaps because he has eaten too much delicious food, his tastes have become increasingly peculiar.

In the end, it set its sights on the flesh of its own kind, so the Inquisition threw it onto Greed Island to fend for itself.

Since he has no other survival skills besides eating, the mayor is now in dire straits. Forget about eating well, even being able to eat his fill every day is a luxury. The sudden influx of millions of people has directly led to a severe shortage of food production on Greed Island.

The Gluttony Seed in Rosen's hand silently burrowed into the middle-aged mayor's body.

He immediately felt an unprecedented hunger, and eventually grabbed some dirt from the roadside and started eating it. He actually managed to digest the dirt, and as the dirt was digested by the Gluttonous Demon Seed in his stomach, the middle-aged mayor's vitality grew stronger and stronger.

In the end, his entire body was filled with energy pores, and at the age of 45, he forcibly opened his mind and mastered the energy.

Rosen nodded in satisfaction, further activating the Gluttony Seed.

The middle-aged mayor's appetite surged again, but there wasn't enough nutritious food around for him to eat. The soil could no longer satisfy the gluttonous demon. Soon, the middle-aged mayor began to target his own body and bit off several of his fingers.

Appetite completely overwhelmed reason, even causing the middle-aged mayor to develop his own Nen ability in a short period of time.

In the end, the middle-aged mayor was left with only his head. The part below his head had been eaten. There was no body below his neck, only a stomach formed by black energy wriggling. After eating the body, the head, still not satisfied, flew into the air towards the nearest town.

With a thought, Rosen extracted the Gluttony Demon Seed from the middle-aged mayor's body.

During the Gluttony Seed stripping process, all of the middle-aged mayor's Nen energy was extracted, and even his soul was taken away by the Gluttony Seed. His entire head lost all nourishment and turned into a desiccated corpse that would crumble at the slightest touch.

Rosen looked at the Gluttony Seed in his hand; the Gluttony Power within it had more than doubled.

This is still a short-term, exhaustive effort, yet it has already yielded considerable results.

If the Gluttony Seed were implanted in billions of people, each person could awaken Nen through eating, develop their own Nen abilities, and help cultivate and strengthen their own Gluttony Seeds.

Once someone dies of natural causes, he can reclaim the Gluttony Seed. In the process, the Gluttony Authority he wields will continuously grow stronger.

With this in mind, Rosen was already eager to spread the seven deadly sins demonic seeds he had created with his own spiritual energy.

Although the seven deadly sins are extremely negative in nature, they also have a positive side.

Binge eating can make people eat themselves to excess, but it can also save those suffering from anorexia, making them eat well and feel healthy.

Excessive greed can lead people to break the law and commit crimes for money, but moderate greed can lead people to work hard for wealth.

The same goes for laziness. Too much laziness can make people starve to death, but a moderate amount of laziness can inspire creativity and wisdom. The fact that humans developed cars to replace bicycles and bicycles to replace walking is essentially a manifestation of laziness.

What Rosen wants to do is to regulate and control people's hearts through the seven deadly sins.

For those who are too lazy, give them a little greed.

Those who are too cowardly, give them a little arrogance.

Those who are overly greedy should temper their greed.

In this way, the human world can unknowingly become a harmonious world without evil.

However, creating hundreds of billions of Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seeds is no easy task, but it is something that cannot be left undone.

So for the next five years, Rosen spent the entire time creating the Seven Deadly Sins in the Holy City of the Lord.

He did not force anyone to accept the Seven Deadly Sins Seeds, because over the years he discovered that the Seven Deadly Sins Seeds actually have the effect of distorting spirituality.

If everyone were to be planted with the seeds of the seven deadly sins, and as generations evolved, the billions of people in the Ancient God Realm might evolve to lose their emotions and eventually become spiritually sluggish wooden figures.

Therefore, the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seed is not mandatory to accept, and certain conditions must be met in order to fuse with the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seed.

Furthermore, the fusion with the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seeds is not a permanent process. Once one develops Nen abilities, the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Seeds and Nen abilities can be fused together to further reduce the negative impact of the Demon Seeds on one's spirituality.

A perfectly harmonious human world would be ideal, but it seems to lack some of the humanity it embodies.

Therefore, the choice of whether or not to fuse with the demon seed is up to you.

Whether one can fuse with a demonic seed depends on the sincerity of one's faith.

The Demon Seed is no longer called the Demon Seed, but is known by the world as the Holy Seed that can purify the seven deadly sins.

Those who initially resisted the demonic seed gradually became eager to possess it.

Countless people, especially the elderly who want to obtain the Gluttony Seed to revitalize their appetite and strengthen their bodies, are willing to show even more devout faith. In the end, selfless faith is only a very small minority, while faith with ulterior motives is in line with the human nature of the vast majority of people.

With the human world of the Ancient God Realm back on track, Rosen prepares to deal with the alien races of the Dark Continent.

These alien races are not entirely on the opposite side.

Because some alien races possess the flame of civilization, and this flame of civilization has already been mastered by the flame of miracles.

Although it is impossible to completely control these alien races, it is not a problem to indirectly control them by leveraging the legacy of civilization.

Only those foreign races without the flame of civilization are the ones that must be conquered and subjugated.

However, before launching the attack, Luo Zhen prepared to refine the Miracle Flame.

To refine the Miracle Flame, the minimum requirement is a spiritual strength of Sequence 3, coupled with immense luck.

Having mastered the Ancient God Realm, Rosen clearly felt his luck increase many times over.

So, there's no problem with luck; what's lacking is spiritual strength.

The Seven Deadly Sins transformed his soul, naturally increasing his spiritual strength from 56 to 57 points.

With the added nine-point boost from the ancient god's sacrificial artifact, its spiritual strength is comparable to that of a 66-point artifact.

A normal noble has 11 points of spiritual strength per sequence, which is already at the peak of sequence 4 and can break through to demigod at any time.

Therefore, with just a little more spiritual strength, his spiritual strength would reach the minimum Sequence 3 level.

Therefore, we need to find a way to increase our spiritual strength as soon as possible.

Rosen searched the deep web of the spirit world for a long time before finding a shortcut that could quickly improve the spirituality of a Sequence 5.

The hereditary Duke of Favalli of the Shenmu Empire possesses a special ritual formation within his family.

This ritual formation can enhance the spirituality of Sequence 5 by one point, and it has no hidden dangers.

The Favalli family made this ritual formation available to the public long ago, requiring only 100 million spiritual crystals to use it once.

However, the core materials for the ritual formation need to be prepared by yourself, requiring a Sequence 6 Soul Gem.

However, such a soul gem is worth 15 billion, and with the qualification to use the ritual array, it becomes 16 billion spiritual crystals.

Therefore, although the Favalli family mastered this ritual formation, they did not attract envy.

Because even a normal Sequence 5 wouldn't be able to exchange 16 billion for a single point of spiritual strength.

Unless one comes from an extremely powerful family, is extremely favored, and has very poor aptitude, getting stuck at the peak of Sequence 5 and unable to make any further progress, only then would someone use this ritual formation to break through to Sequence 4 and extend their lifespan by at least a thousand years.

However, because so few people met the requirements, Favalli didn't earn much.

After considering it for a moment, Rosen decided to visit the Favalli family.

It wasn't that he had too many spiritual crystals and nowhere to use them; rather, he was very interested in that ritual array. The fact that it could change the effect of the soul gems, which were meant to work on extraordinary buildings, to work on people meant that this ritual array must have something special about it.

After several transfers via the Wizard Tower in the Sky Garden, Rosen quickly arrived at Parthia, a city controlled by the Favalli family.

This city is unique because all the buildings within it are constructed using bamboo.

Moreover, all the bamboo used for construction was made into musical instruments in advance. When the wind blows through the buildings, it will naturally play different tunes. Such places are most likely to attract the covetousness of the spirit world.

However, after Rosen arrived in Anxi City, he discovered that the city was completely unharmed, just like the Sky Garden.

This shows that the Favalli family's foundation is even stronger than that of the Wood Elf royal family.

Before Rosen arrived, he had already sent a letter to Duke Favalli through the Spirit World's Deep Web.

The moment he left the wizard's tower built of magical bamboo, he saw the alchemical carriage by the roadside.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Duke Howard."

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler stepped forward respectfully beside the alchemy carriage and said, "I am Hody, the butler of the Favalli family. I am here to take you to the Favalli family's castle. You may ask me for anything you need in Parthia."

"Go straight to the castle."

Rosen then boarded the alchemy carriage.

The alchemical chariot, even while running, could produce music. As it passed different buildings, the music created by the wind blowing through the chariot perfectly matched the different sounds created by the wind blowing through the roadside buildings. The ingenuity and technology involved are unimaginable.

Rosen felt that even the Music City of the Star Empire might not be able to surpass this City of Rest.

I don't know why this place hasn't become a mecca for musicians?
The alchemical carriage wasn't moving very fast. As Rosen listened to the music, he suddenly felt a little sleepy. The power of his Arrogant Soul activated on its own, instantly waking him up.

In that instant, Rosen realized why the City of Rest was called the City of Rest.

After he gained control of the Ancient God Realm, his fortune was at its peak. He wouldn't willingly throw himself into a pit under such circumstances. However, his intuition told him that Anxi City was definitely not a good place. Otherwise, why would they secretly use music to make him fall into a deep sleep?

Thinking of this, Rosen pretended to be asleep. He wanted to see what the Favalli family was up to.
The butler lifted the curtain of the alchemy carriage and smiled with pity at Rosen, who was fast asleep in his seat.

Another fool has come knocking on our door, and the Favalli family will become even more glorious because of it.

The steward was already thinking about how much reward he would receive.

"So that's what happened!"

Rosen successfully read the butler's mind using his sixth sense.

It turns out that the Favalli family used a special lullaby to put all the outsiders in the city of Anxi into a deep sleep, then drained their wealth in their dreams, and finally sent them out of Anxi after their memories were altered.

The Favalli family values ​​wealth over life; if outsiders are poor, they are allowed to stay and become residents of Parthia.

All the residents of Parthia are under the mental control of the Favalli family.

From birth to death, they continuously created wealth for the Favalli family, generation after generation.

It is precisely through this model that the Favalli family, a hereditary ducal family, has been able to develop into a powerhouse even stronger than the Wood Elf Kingdom.

Rosen sat up and silently tapped the butler's head with his finger. Instantly, using the Hunter Sequence 6's Mind Control, he imprinted his divinity into the butler's consciousness. The butler, sensing something was wrong, tried to resist, but was already immobilized by the human model and unable to fight back.
