Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 206 The Balance of Fate and Rival Archaeologists
Chapter 205

Rosen felt satisfied as he observed the changes in the sequence of ancient trees, sensing his spirituality beginning to transform into divinity.

With the help of the combination of the Star Emblem and the Ancient God's Ritual Artifact, he could easily amplify his spiritual power to the Sequence 3 level.

With the help of the golden divinity, the bloodline of the feathered serpent god, and the bloodline of the ancient god, he could also easily transform spirituality into divinity.

However, these are all external forces. The ancient tree sequence composed of his spiritual origin is essentially still composed of spirituality.

This time, however, was different; his sequence of ancient trees truly showed signs of completely transforming into divinity.

The 9 points of spiritual strength amplified by the ancient god's sacrificial artifact could even affect the sequence ancient tree.

Rosen is suppressing the transformation of the sequence ancient tree; now is not the best time for the transformation.

The time for the Sequence Tree to undergo a complete transformation will only come when he truly becomes a demigod. At this stage, the means to enhance spirituality into divinity are sufficient. With this in mind, he used his ancient god bloodline to transform spirituality into divinity.

Rosen took out the Miracle Flame and began to refine it with all his might.

He could clearly feel that the acquired fortune he had worked so hard to obtain was being frantically absorbed by the Miracle Fire.

In the end, all his acquired fortune was exhausted, and he even began to absorb his innate fortune.

In the end, even the innate fortune was insufficient, so they began to absorb the fortune of civilization held by the alien races that had rekindled the flame of civilization in the Dark Continent of the Ancient God Realm. In the end, there was not much fortune of civilization left, and they finally managed to initially refine the flame of miracle.

[The Flame of Miracles: The Rules of Miracles]

[Rank: Great True God]

[Miracle Attribute: The Miracle Flame can control the flame of civilization formed by the fortune of civilization]

[Miracle Traits: Balance of Fate, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unique, Eternal]

"The Great True God?"

Rosen was slightly startled.

Through the information extracted from the fragments of the Destiny Tablet by the ancient scholar's power, he already knew that the existence above the true god was the great true god, and the standard for becoming a great true god was to be the ruler of a civilization of at least six kalpas.

So if history is correct, only three great true gods have ever been born.

They are the rulers of three major civilizations: the Cosmic Civilization, the Ancient God Civilization, and the Main God Civilization. The fate of the great true gods of the Cosmic Civilization and the Ancient God Civilization is unknown, while the great true god of the Main God Civilization was overturned because he created the Tablet of Destiny.

This means that the Miracle Flame is actually a treasure of the level of a great god, no less than the Tablet of Fate.

He had used all his strength, and even with the Miracle Flame itself recognizing him, he had only managed to refine a small portion and master one Miracle Trait, not even the most core Miracle Trait. This left him both disappointed and pleasantly surprised.

Rosen examined it carefully and found that the basic attributes had not changed in any fundamental way.

Before refining the Miracle Flame, he was already able to grasp its basic attributes, rekindle extinguished flames of civilization, and control those flames of civilization that he rekindled. Now, his control over them has simply been enhanced.

Rosen continued his research into the Miracle Property, the Scales of Fate, which turned out to be a power to weigh and transform fortune.

According to the scales of destiny, all intelligent life has both innate and acquired fortune.

Moreover, these fortunes are all classified into levels corresponding to the sequence levels.

The innate destiny of Sequence 3 means that this intelligent life form has a greater than 90% probability of growing into Sequence 3.

Therefore, innate destiny is very important; basically, only those with Sequence 3 innate destiny are qualified to be called those with great destiny.

Of course, even if one's innate fortune is insufficient, intelligent beings can acquire acquired fortune by obtaining wealth, power, rights, and so on. The function of acquired fortune is the same as that of innate fortune. The only difference is that acquired fortune is gone once it is used, while innate fortune can be slowly restored once it is used.

Rosen mastered the miraculous property of the Scales of Fate, and from then on he could see the fortune levels of all intelligent life.

Then he can also transform acquired fortune into innate fortune through the Miracle Flame.

Rosen checked his luck level. His innate luck was Sequence 5, but his acquired luck was only Sequence 9.

This shows that his aptitude is not actually that good, but it doesn't matter. In the future, all the acquired luck he gains can be transformed into innate luck, so this time, even if he exhausts his acquired luck by refining the Miracle Flame, it is completely worth it.

In the realm of the gods, Rosen looked Alicia and Amy up and down.

Alicia's innate fortune is Sequence 4, and her acquired fortune has reached Sequence 3.

Amy's innate fortune is only Sequence 6, but her acquired fortune is as high as Sequence 0.

Rosen looked at Amy with envy, pulled Alicia into his arms, and began to help her transform her acquired fortune into innate fortune. Although the transformation process consumed almost twice the amount of energy, it still allowed Alicia's innate fortune to reach Sequence 3.

Then there's Amy, whose innate luck was enhanced to Sequence 1 before her acquired luck was exhausted.

Although the total amount of fortune is reduced by half, the innate fortune can recover on its own. One recovery is enough to break even, and two recoverys will lead to a steady profit. Therefore, the earlier the fortune changes, the better.

For the next two weeks, Rosen observed the fortunes of his subjects.

Few escaped the net. Those with good innate fortune had already changed professions and cultivated the fastest. Few with great fortune could see their own fortune, but that didn't stop them from knowing that their fortune was strong and they were growing rapidly.

After screening the subjects, Rosen continued to screen the billions of people in the Ancient God Realm.

He certainly couldn't observe everyone's fortune, but he could select those believers who offered more faith to examine their fortune. After all, generally speaking, the stronger one's strength, the stronger one's fortune, and the more faith one would offer.

In the final selection, Rosen even went to check out the main characters of the Hunter x Hunter storyline.

As a result, Kurapika's innate fortune was only Sequence 6, while Gon and Killua were only Sequence 5. Compared to humans in the main world, humans in the Spirit Realm were indeed inferior in terms of aptitude. In the end, he only managed to raise Kurapika's innate fortune to Sequence 5.

As for Gon and Killua, Gon is too solitary and has no potential for development, while Killua comes from the Zoldyck family.

To this day, the Zoldyck family remains a wanted criminal by the Church of God.

Rosen was too lazy to specifically hunt down the Zoldyck family, treating it as practice for the Holy Tribunal. Under these circumstances, he naturally had no interest in training Killua, as the protagonists were unable to advance to the Extraordinary Sequence and were destined to be eliminated by the times in the New World.

After refining the Miracle Flame, Rosen returned from Sky Garden in less than three days.

My luck has plummeted; nothing I do goes smoothly.

So he plans to wait until his luck returns before considering venturing out into the world.

Innate fortune is relatively easy to manage; a mere Sequence 5 innate fortune can be almost fully recovered in two or three years.

Acquiring good fortune later in life isn't too difficult.

By creating paintings of the Spirit Realm and trading for suitable treasures through the Main God's Temple, as well as the output of various Spirit Realm paintings, Rosen's luck can be greatly enhanced. Conservatively estimated, his luck will be enough to easily grow to Sequence 3 in a few years.

Rosen got a taste of success from this and became obsessed with creating resource-related spiritual landscape paintings.

In reality, a normal divine realm cannot support many spiritual realms.

He had previously obtained Sequence 3 spirit realms such as the Bottle Cellar and the Golden Plains, but he had only sealed and kept them without fully activating them. This was because spirit realms require spiritual energy, and if a spirit realm is placed in a divine territory, the divine territory must provide the energy.

Rosen hadn't painted many paintings of spirit realms in the past, mainly because he couldn't afford to support them after they were painted.

However, ever since the Ancient God Realm and the World Tree came into existence, Rosen has stopped thinking about such matters.

He discovered that the World Tree could directly draw energy from the void and transform it into spirituality.

All spiritual realms can merge into the World Tree and transform into its fruit.

During this process, the World Tree can also grow faster, its efficiency in drawing energy from the void will increase, and Rosen's control over the world will also be strengthened.

After all the resource-type spiritual realms were transformed into World Tree fruits, he unknowingly gained 2% control over the world's authority.

……

As usual, Rosen got up early and did morning exercises with Li Shiqing before starting his painting for the day.

However, halfway through the painting, the Wood Elf Queen came to visit.

The Wood Elf Queen had always been elegant and noble, and even the twenty years that the spirit world had descended into reality had not changed her. But this time, it was the first time that Rosen had seen the Wood Elf Queen in such a panicked state.

"What happened?"

Rosen handed the paintbrush to his self-portrait clone and poured the Wood Elf Queen a glass of chilled spring water.

The Wood Elf Queen gulped down the drink in one go before calming her panicked emotions.

"The World Government's Archaeological Institute is requesting the assistance of the Wood Elf Kingdom."

The Wood Elf Queen said helplessly.

Upon hearing that it was an archaeological institute, Rosen roughly understood what was going on.

The Archaeological Institute is a gathering place for archaeologists. In the extraordinary world, don't underestimate these archaeologists. They are responsible for excavating lost ancient history and information, and for uncovering forgotten historical sites.

Although the supernatural system is generally progressing, people of the same level in modern times are stronger than those in ancient times.

However, this does not mean that ancient times were completely inferior to modern times; at least in modern times, there is no universally recognized great true god existing in the world.

Moreover, many extraordinary resources that were common in ancient times would have considerable value today.

Therefore, the Archaeological Institute has considerable power, and can even mobilize official forces from kingdoms and empires to assist in archaeological excavations when needed. The Wood Elf Kingdom is a vassal state of the World Government and cannot refuse the Archaeological Institute's mobilization.

Rosen knew without the Wood Elf Queen continuing that they had discovered ancient ruins related to elves.

Moreover, its value is absolutely extraordinary; otherwise, the World Government would not have approved the Archaeological Institute's requisition request.

After all, the greatest value of the Wood Elf Kingdom lies in cultivating rare and extraordinary plants for the World Government, as well as the life essence of the Ancient Tree of Life. If it weren't for the discovery of the extremely valuable ancient ruins, the World Government wouldn't have killed the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The reason for saying "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs" is that the higher the value of ancient relics, the more dangerous they are.

It left even the archaeologists helpless, to the point that they had to mobilize the Wood Elf Kingdom.

That basically means that a large number of wood elves would need to be sacrificed in order to further excavate that ancient ruin.

This is why the Wood Elf Queen panicked.

How extensive is the mobilization effort?

Rosen asked directly.

"All wood elves."

The Wood Elf Queen gave an answer that made Rosen doubt he had heard correctly.

The person who issued this conscription order to send all the Wood Elves to their deaths is insane! The World Government has more than just Wood Elves as its subordinate races. If they can force the entire Wood Elves to their deaths today, they can force other subordinate races to their deaths tomorrow. Normally, as long as the subordinate races behave themselves, the World Government is actually quite lenient with them.

"Please wait a moment, let me check what's going on."

Rosen used the Star Emblem as a cover, but in reality, he logged into the Spirit Realm Deep Web through the main god's computer.

Following the trail of the archaeological institute, he quickly figured out what was going on.

The Wood Elf Kingdom was likely implicated by him.

A Sequence 5 painter killed a Sequence 3 musician, and in addition to the astonishing number of merits he had accumulated in the twenty years since the Spirit Realm descended, he also became the next king consort of the Wood Elf Kingdom. These achievements are truly remarkable for a Sequence 5.

Humans have spies among the alien races, and the alien races have also bribed many humans.

A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind, so it's not surprising that someone wants to get rid of him before he fully matures.

It is not yet known whether the people who want to eliminate him are aliens or some human race.

There is no relevant information on the Spirit World Deep Web. Obviously, those involved in the murder of human geniuses did not communicate through the Spirit World Deep Web, because if the World Government is willing to investigate, the Spirit World Deep Web has no secrets from the World Government.

Rosen was able to analyze all of this simply because he found some information about the elven ruins at the archaeological institute.

The information above regarding the excavation of the ruins makes no mention of needing the entire Wood Elf race; it only states that a large number of Wood Elves are needed.

Given how clean the information about this matter is on the deep web of the spirit world, it's not hard to deduce that it's aimed at him.

If the Wood Elves are gone, the Wood Elf Kingdom will also run out of life essence.

The Wood Elf Kingdom, with its limited potential, is not worth being targeted at such a high price.

Rosen instinctively considered using celestial prophecy, but then thought better of it.

Each time, he spends 100 million high-grade spiritual crystals. Even if he still has more than 20 billion, he can't afford to spend like that.

Especially that elven ruins, there should really be some good stuff there.

He needs to save up the spiritual crystals and use them on that elven ruin so that the mastermind behind it all will suffer the consequences.

Rosen immediately took out the last piece of drawing paper made from the bark of the Mother Tree of Life. This time, he was going to draw the Wood Elf Kingdom.

The painting contains the Tree of Life and the Sky Garden; he intends to take the Wood Elf Kingdom with him.

Rosen drew for three days, but the Wood Elf Queen delayed for three days, citing the need to mobilize all the Wood Elves.

The painting was finally finished that day, but it was only a half-finished product.

Because this is a typical unfinished spiritual realm painting, the entire Tree of Life and Sky Garden need to be incorporated into the painting to form a complete spiritual realm painting. After making the final preparations, Rosen came to the tree of the Tree of Life.

Over the past three days, Alicia has communicated with the Tree of Life.

So when he pointed the painting at the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life not only did not resist the seal of the painting in Rosen's hand, but also actively cooperated and merged into the space in the painting. The entire Tree of Life and the space around the Sky Garden could be seen to begin to distort.

The Tree of Life in Sequence 3 is too large; it will take at least several hours to completely seal it.

So not long after the sealing began, a group of archaeologists staying at the Sky Garden Hotel, along with the painters from the Painters' Guild and the two hereditary ducal families, noticed something was wrong and immediately began investigating what was going on.

In a short while, about a dozen Sequence 4s had surrounded Rosen.

"stop……"

The two hereditary ducal families, both shocked and furious, shouted angrily.

"Stop now, or wait for the ancient tree of life to wither and be cut down?"

Rosen turned and questioned, "Don't forget that the Tree of Life belongs to the Wood Elves. Since the World Government is conscripting all the Wood Elves, the Tree of Life should naturally follow suit. Or can you find a way to lift the conscription?"

The two hereditary dukes fell silent instantly, glaring resentfully at the archaeologists.

Their family interests are almost entirely tied to the Wood Elf Kingdom. These people are forcing the Wood Elves to die, and their losses are second only to the Wood Elves. They have tried to use their connections these past few days, but the people behind these archaeologists simply don't take them seriously.

The two hereditary dukes left quietly, moving their families as quickly as possible.

As for the archaeologists, they didn't try to stop Rosen at all; they simply stayed away from the Tree of Life to avoid being affected.

They only needed to make sure one thing: that Rosen wouldn't run away with the Wood Elf Kingdom.

As for bringing the Tree of Life into that elven ruin, it is more beneficial for excavating the ruin than simply sacrificing a large number of wood elves.

In the end, some painters, unaware of the truth, tried to stop her, but after hearing the Wood Elf Queen's explanation, they all quietly left.

Five hours later, the Wood Elf Kingdom transformed into a magical painting.

【Wood Elf Kingdom: Spiritual Realm Paintings】

[Level: Sequence 3]

[Area: A radius of 5,000 li]

[Population: One Sequence 3 Ancient Tree of Life, 109 million Wood Elves]

Specialties: Wood Spirits, Essence of Life, Ancient Trees of Life, and various extraordinary plants...

Rosen handed the painting to the Wood Elf Queen, but in a moment the Wood Elf Queen had already mastered it.

At this point, a dozen or so Sequence 4 archaeologists gathered around.

"Can we set off now?"

The leading archaeologist stepped forward and asked.

"lead the way."

Rosen stared at the archaeologists as if they were dead.

The dozen or so archaeologists dispersed and joined forces to cast a void teleportation spell. Soon, a somewhat unstable spatial vortex appeared. The fact that a spatial vortex created by a dozen or so Sequence 4 archaeologists was unstable showed just how far the teleportation distance was.

Two archaeologists were the first to step into the spatial vortex, while the other archaeologists looked at Rosen and the Wood Elf Queen.

Rosen grabbed the Wood Elf Queen's arm and together they passed through the spatial vortex.

The teleportation process is unpleasant because the spatial vortex is extremely unstable.

The teleportation ended, and I arrived in a desolate and lifeless world.

Rosen almost instantly realized that this was a divine kingdom that had been extinguished by the extinction of all life. He had seen fragments of the Thunder God's divine kingdom in the spirit realm of the Thunder Empire, and he was certain that this divine kingdom belonged to the elven gods.

Even those of Sequence 1 must proceed with extreme caution when entering the divine realm of Sequence 0.

not to mention……

Rosen looked around at the divine territories, which were only at the Sequence 3 level.

This means that the most capable archaeologists excavating this divine kingdom ruins are only Sequence 3.

It's not that the World Government can't produce archaeologists of Sequence 2 or even Sequence 1, but rather that advancing an archaeologist's sequence is too troublesome. Simply meeting the spiritual strength requirement isn't enough; archaeological excavation is also necessary for the extraordinary source essence to undergo transformation.

However, over the past 20,000 years, it has become increasingly difficult for archaeologists to advance their careers.

Because ancient ruins are becoming increasingly difficult to find, the number of archaeologists is also decreasing.

If Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 excavate this divine kingdom ruin, then Sequence 3 below will have no hope of advancement.

Rosen arrived at the edge of the divine realm and surveyed the ruins of the divine kingdom outside.

Desolation is the dominant color. There are no living plants in the entire ruins of the divine kingdom. Dead plants are everywhere. In the center of the divine kingdom, you can still see dead ancient trees of life and a large number of ancient trees of war, but you can't see any life, including the skeletons of elves.

Most importantly, Rosen found no trace of war in this divine kingdom ruin.

Logically, with the fall of the Sequence 0 deity, the final main battlefield should be in the divine realm.

It's common for divine kingdoms like those of the Thunder God to be shattered; preserving a divine kingdom intact is almost impossible. Moreover, the victorious deity usually takes the divine kingdom as spoils of war, unless the divine kingdom of the Thunder God is too fragmented to be worth the attention of Sequence 0.

So what exactly happened to this divine kingdom when its master perished?
And what dangers lurk beneath this surface of desolation?
Although Rosen was convinced that someone was trying to harm him, he couldn't deny that the person who made the move was using an open scheme to cover up a conspiracy. If there wasn't a huge profit involved, and if it wasn't really necessary to sacrifice the Wood Elf race, it wouldn't have been so easy to drag him into the scheme.

"It seems you're already aware of your situation."

A young man dressed in an expensive suit, looking every bit the nobleman, walked up to Rosen and said confidently.

"Looks like they really came for me."

Rosen snorted coldly.

"Why don't you consider following me? I am a descendant of gods that you can never reach."

"That's what the young master said proudly."

"So you, a Sequence 5, can kill a Sequence 3?"

Rosen's question instantly darkened the young master's expression.

"I'm waiting for you to regret this..."

The noble son of the divine lineage said in a condescending tone, "Don't worry, you are safe in this divine kingdom. You are, after all, a hereditary duke and a top talent of the human race. I wouldn't openly kill you. I will make you watch all the wood elves die before your eyes."

Rosen watched the noble son of the divine lineage turn and leave, and immediately logged into the deep web of the spirit world to search for relevant information.

Damon Touré, a Sequence 4 Divine Archaeologist.

Although it's only Sequence 4, he should be the leader of all the archaeologists this time, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

He wasn't lying; he truly is a descendant of the gods.

Moreover, their parents are Sequence 0 and their mother is Sequence 1, so their background is undeniably impressive.

Damon Touré may have targeted him out of jealousy, to gain a powerful subordinate, to use him as a tool by other races, or even because he was bribed by them.

These are the most common possibilities, and it will definitely be determined which one killed him beforehand.
