Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 208 The Apocalyptic Treasure and the Judge's Slander
Chapter 207

Rosen's Void Phase Teleportation ended, and he appeared in another empire far away from the Divine Tree Empire.

After several transfers, they quietly returned to Shenmu City.

Rosen immediately went to the Shenmu Study and looked at the fragments of divinity that were tightly entangled by the network cable.

Through celestial prophecy, he not only learned the exact location of the ruins of the divine kingdom, but also that there was a statue of the Holy Elf King inside the temple, and that the Holy Elf King's last true spirit was hidden within the fragments of divine essence, so he prepared to seize the opportunity to possess him at any time.

So after leaving the ruins of the divine kingdom, he immediately threw the fragments of his divine essence into the main god's computer.

Even the Holy Elf King, weakened to the extreme, didn't utter a sound as the divine pit was completely devoured by the God Computer, which didn't even spare the fragments of divinity. After absorbing the fragments of divinity, the God Computer was able to directly transform the faith of the God Church into divine crystals.

Divine Crystals are valuable items; they are a hard currency used in large quantities only at Sequence 1 and above.

Rosen picked up the eternally dark oil lamp; this miraculous treasure gave him a very bad feeling.

While other miraculous treasures can increase one's acquired fortune, this eternally dark oil lamp actually obliterates one's innate fortune.

The item is a good thing, but it's also a troublesome problem.

But it doesn't matter, he had already planned to sell this miraculous treasure after he got his hands on it.

Rosen logged into the God Network and began selecting suitable trading targets.

It would be best to be hostile to the elves; there is no better option than trading with a powerful giant.

Damon not only failed to obtain the Lamp of Eternal Darkness, but it also ended up in the hands of the giants. Furthermore, the dark elves used for the sacrifice possessed the souls of the Abyss Humans, which directly resulted in the power of the sacrifice curse being integrated into the corrupting power of the Abyss.

If the Elven race is planning to revive the Mother Tree of Life, then this sacrificial curse will definitely bring them great trouble.

The cooperation between the World Government and the Elves might even fall apart because of this.

Rosen was certain that Damon's days ahead would be anything but easy.

……

In the divine realm of Mal, Damon knelt trembling before a statue of a god.

People generally believe that the descendants of gods are born noble and glorious, but they do not know that all the descendants of gods live on thin ice from birth.

The power of the divine offspring does not fall from the sky, but is received from their parents.

Damon's mother suffered greatly after giving birth to him, and spent decades recovering from the effects of childbirth, so she was somewhat unfriendly towards him.

Damon's father was also extremely busy, and the father and son had very little time together.

However, feelings deepen with time spent together. Damon had only seen his mother a few times from birth to adulthood, and his father was not seen many times either. He was raised in the most elite way from a young age, and the hardships and toil he endured during that time are unknown to the world.
So even though he is of divine lineage, Damon is well aware that his relationship with his parents is not good.

Although there is a blood tie, Damon himself doesn't know exactly how much of that kinship exists.

Having botched things this time, Damon can't imagine what kind of punishment he'll receive.

"Kill that Rosen, with your own abilities."

A stern command emanated from within the statue, bringing a sigh of relief to Damon.

Damon respectfully put away the idol, inwardly blaming Rosen for all the humiliation he had suffered from this defeat.

Through the archaeologist's time travel, he already knows what happened inside the temple.

Humans who possessed the bloodline of the sacred elves successfully seized the Eternal Dark Oil Lamp and the fragments of divinity first.

Since they couldn't find out exactly who this person was, Damon could only blame Rosen.

If Rosen hadn't taken all the wood elves, he could have obtained the Eternal Dark Lamp more than two months earlier. In the end, he wouldn't have been preempted by someone else, and he wouldn't have bought a problematic dark elf, which caused serious problems with the sacrificial ritual.

The cooperation with the elves has run into problems. If his father hadn't been busy trying to salvage the situation, he would have been arrested by now.

So Rosen was the real culprit, but killing a hereditary duke required careful planning.

Unless Rosen commits a serious crime, or Rosen deliberately tries to kill him, he absolutely cannot openly take action. The order established by the Noble Council is something that even his father, let alone a descendant of a god, would not openly defy.

Since Rosen stayed in the Divine Wood Empire instead of fleeing, the Divine Wood Empire will become Rosen's final resting place.

……

In Shenmu City, Rosen left the mysterious study.

Through the main temple, he sold the eternally dark oil lamp for an extremely high price.

He paid for a small portion with the remains of the Mother Tree of Life, and exchanged the rest for a Sequence 2 Miracle Treasure.

[Apocalypse Treasure Map: Miraculous Treasure]

[Level: Sequence 2]

[Miracle Attribute: Apocalypse Treasure Maps can consume Destiny Coins to generate Miracle Treasure Maps of different sequence levels]

[Miracle Traits: Destiny Coin, Chamber of Truth, Uniqueness of Heaven and Earth, Eternal]

Although it's a sequence 1 swapping sequence 2, and although the Apocalypse Treasure Map has a fatal flaw.

But no matter how many times Rosen is given the choice, he will complete the deal.

Once the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map is refined, it will continuously draw upon innate fortune and transform it into Destiny Coins. Moreover, this extraction will cause innate fortune to be permanently downgraded, hence the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map is also known as the Misfortune Treasure Map.

Because innate destiny is so important, even those of high rank who know the true nature of the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map dare not refine this miraculous treasure.

Historically, those who obtained the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map disguised it in various ways before sending it to unlucky individuals with good innate fortune, hoping that their good fortune would be transformed into destiny coins.

Finally, once the Destiny Coin transforms into the Miracle Treasure Map, immediately seize the Miracle Treasure Map and then retrieve the Apocalypse Treasure Map.

Therefore, throughout history, countless people with great fortune have been tricked by the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map.

As the map became more and more famous, even ordinary people often heard about it from legends and stories, making it increasingly difficult to scam people using the Apocalypse Treasure Map. This directly led to a sharp drop in the value of the Apocalypse Treasure Map.

However, Rosen possesses a miraculous spark, which allows him to transform acquired fortune into innate fortune.

Then you can collect Destiny Coins and Miracle Maps. Following the guidance of the Miracle Maps, you can find treasures. Finding treasures will bring you acquired luck, which can then be transformed into innate luck, forming a closed loop that offsets the negative effects of the Apocalypse Treasure Map.

In this way, Rosen can safely use the unique miracle property of the Apocalypse Treasure Map: Chamber of Truth.

The Chamber of Truth is a special space similar to a secret study. While its concealment effect is certainly not as good as that of a secret study, intelligent beings can greatly enhance their wisdom in the Chamber of Truth, which is very beneficial for their mastery of authority and rules.

Rosen used the ancient god's sacrificial artifact to elevate his spirit to 67 points, and then used the ancient god's bloodline to transform it into divinity.

With the divinity of Sequence 3, refining a Sequence 2 miracle treasure is more difficult, but it's only a matter of time.

With the help of the 67x speedup of the time map, Rosen could refine the Apocalypse Treasure Map in a week at most in reality.

In fact, besides valuing the Truth Chamber's ability to enhance one's mastery of authority and rules, he also valued the fact that the Apocalypse Treasure Map itself was a painting. Apart from the Möbius strip, this was the only miraculous treasure he knew that evolved from a painting.

Anything that can become a miracle must have something extremely special about it.

So, while the refining process took a week, Rosen also appreciated the painting from an artist's perspective.

This is an oil painting depicting a majestic mountain shrouded in mist. It's unclear whether the mountain is an imagined creation or a real mountain. Some have even suggested that the painting itself holds a hidden treasure.

However, for 30,000 years since its existence, no one has discovered the hidden secret in the painting.

Of course, it's also possible that someone discovered it a long time ago, but simply didn't make it public.

Rosen spent a week looking but couldn't figure it out, and even his hopes for the professional authority of ancient scholars yielded no results.

The moment he completely refined the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map, his innate fortune began to dissipate.

In just a few hours, his innate luck, which had elevated him to Sequence 3, had vanished.

Fortunately, he had previously obtained a fragment of divinity and an eternal dark oil lamp, which increased his acquired fortune to Sequence 2. Now, through the transformation of the Miracle Flame, his innate fortune has not decreased, but is not far from Sequence 2.

Although innate fortune has been transformed into Destiny Coins, the Miracle Treasure Map is not generated immediately.

The Apocalypse Treasure Map is more like a treasure detector, capable of detecting unclaimed treasures of the corresponding sequence level within a certain range. If there are no treasures nearby, the formation of the miracle treasure map will stop. Rosen is not in a hurry to leave Shenmu City to dig for treasure; for him, the city is the safest place right now.

So he activated the Chamber of Truth. The moment he activated it, the clouds and mist that shrouded the mountains in the center of the Apocalypse Treasure Map came to life and formed a vortex. After he was sucked in, the Apocalypse Treasure Map disappeared from the hotel room.

Rosen looked at the Apocalypse Treasure Map in his hand. This painting had actually entered the Chamber of Truth with him?
Looking around, he realized that the Secret Chamber of Truth was indeed very small, with a diameter of only 25 square meters and a height of only 3 meters. It was completely empty, with no visible light. Soft light of no apparent origin filled the chamber, and under this light, he could clearly feel that the creative power he held had become unusually active.

Rosen left the Chamber of Truth, leaving behind a self-portrait clone outside, who described the changes that had occurred outside the Chamber since he entered.

The moment he stepped inside, the Apocalypse Treasure Map vanished.

Then, until he came out, the self-portrait clone could not find the Apocalypse Treasure Map, and could not even sense the connection with the original.

Rosen seemed to be deep in thought; this Chamber of Truth had the feel of a mysterious study.

Suddenly, an idea came to him.

Rosen entered the mysterious study with the Apocalypse Treasure Map, and then reopened the Chamber of Truth.

The secret chamber of truth is unlikely to exist in a painting; it is very likely to exist in reality.

Because if it exists in the painting, it would be contradictory for the Apocalypse Treasure Map to enter the painting along with it. It would be as unbelievable as stuffing a house into this house. Therefore, Rosen believes that the Chamber of Truth exists in reality.

The Heavenly Treasure Map is merely a key to accessing the secret chamber of truth.

Since it's a key, it can naturally be brought into the house.

So, inside the mysterious study, can the key—the Apocalypse Treasure Map—successfully unlock the Chamber of Truth?

Rosen once again entered the Chamber of Truth through the vortex in the painting, looking somewhat bewildered at the Apocalyptic Treasure Map in his hand.

The windows and doors of the mysterious study were all closed, completely isolating the interior and exterior spaces.

He couldn't teleport even using Void Phase in this enclosed, mysterious study. He could only teleport out by opening the window and connecting with the outside space. If the Chamber of Truth were located in reality, the Apocalypse Treasure Map would not be able to open a spatial passage.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, there is only one truth left.

The Chamber of Truth truly exists within the painting, yet the Apocalypse Treasure Map can also be incorporated into the Chamber of Truth within the painting—this incredible feat of fitting a house into another house has actually occurred.

After studying the map for several days, Rosen finally uncovered the mystery of its disappearance.

It turns out that when the Apocalypse Treasure Map is opened, it is only a two-dimensional painting. However, just like the paintings in the Spirit Realm, it hides a high-dimensional space that is at least beyond four dimensions or even beyond five dimensions.

However, the Chamber of Truth should have two layers, an inner layer that is a higher-dimensional space and an outer layer that is a zero-dimensional space.

When he entered the Chamber of Truth, the painting of the Apocalypse Treasure Map separated from the Chamber of Truth within the painting, forming two independent entities. This allowed the painting to enter the Chamber of Truth, and at that moment, the outer layer of the Chamber of Truth collapsed into a zero-dimensional space and disappeared.

Having roughly figured out the secrets of the Chamber of Truth, Rosen finally had the mind to study the Law Authority within it.

However, at this moment, another unexpected event occurred.

The Apocalypse Treasure Map in Rosen's hands once again drew upon his innate fortune and transformed it into Destiny Coins.

The Miracle Treasure Map formed from the last draw hasn't even been activated yet, so why is it suddenly drawing innate fortune again? And in the past few days, I haven't drawn fortune when I went in and out of the Truth Chamber, but this time it's starting to draw innate fortune?
Soon, the second Miracle Treasure Map was created, draining Lawson's innate fortune, which had just been restored to Sequence 3, dry up once again.

However, when Rosen separated the second Miracle Treasure Map from the painting, he discovered that this Miracle Treasure Map had no sequence level, and the map had been automatically activated, showing the same mountains as those in the Apocalypse Treasure Map.

However, on the treasure map, there is a golden dot marking the location of the treasure among the mountains.

Rosen instantly understood that this might be the treasure hidden within the very Apocalypse Treasure Map that many people had been searching for.

To find this treasure, two conditions need to be met.

First, outside the treasure map, let the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map drain your innate fortune.

Then, we need to find a way to restore our innate destiny. At this time, we need to stay in the Chamber of Truth for a sufficient amount of time so that we can condense a second miracle map that points to the treasure hidden in the Heavenly Revelation Treasure Map itself. However, without the Miracle Flame, it would be extremely difficult to restore the permanently destroyed innate destiny.

What exactly is hidden inside this treasure that can only be found under such stringent conditions?
Rosen compared the golden dots on the Miracle Treasure Map to the corresponding locations on the Apocalypse Treasure Map.

His spirituality began to carefully perceive this point, but there was no reaction whatsoever.

However, he did not stop but continued. Finally, after several hours, the clouds in the painting formed a vortex around this point, locking Rosen in and sucking him into the painting.

Rosen's spiritual senses perceived the surrounding dark, lightless space, which was only one meter in diameter and two meters high.

He knew that taking even one more step would mean hitting a wall, so a ball of energy infused with light elements immediately appeared in his hand.

The darkness was dispelled, and Rosen saw scratches and bloodstains all over the wall. The scratches looked as if they had been dug out by fingernails, and in addition to the blood flowing down the scratches, there was also a lot of flesh and bone powder.

It must have been after the nails and flesh were worn away that the finger bones were used to forcefully scratch the wall.

Rosen examined the scratches closely and discovered that they were actually a painting.

This painting must point to a certain place, because two characters have been cut out from a certain part of the painting. Rosen clearly did not recognize what kind of script these two characters belonged to, but the moment he saw them, he instinctively received the translation information contained in the characters.

The word "Tianqi" refers to the apocalypse.

So, if you find the place marked with the words "Tianqi" in this painting, you can find the treasure that is truly hidden in the Tianqi Treasure Map.
But what kind of treasure would require an ordinary human to leave a treasure map in this way?

Rosen could tell from the bloodstains and bits of flesh on the wall that the scratches were left by an ordinary person.

Rosen memorized the painting before deciding how to leave.

The result was that he had instantly escaped that cramped space and returned to the Chamber of Truth.

The fact that his innate luck had been drained again made Rosen feel very insecure.

He plans to paint several spiritual landscape paintings to boost his luck. The resources he currently has cannot increase his luck a second time, but he can process the existing materials into spiritual landscape paintings to increase their value. The increased value can then be used to restore his luck.

However, when drawing, Rosen always thought about that map that was carved out by the hands of an ordinary person.

He instinctively wanted to draw it, but the instant he thought of it, he found that all the details of the painting in his memory had disappeared. He only remembered that there was a painting made by scratching with his fingernail, but he had completely forgotten the details of the painting.

"Such terrifying protective measures..."

Rosen said incredulously.

It can affect his memory silently; ordinary rules of authority cannot achieve this level of influence.

Rosen became even more interested in the place the painting pointed to. However, the world was so big, and finding that place with just a blurry painting made out of fingernails was no easy task, especially since only he knew the contents of the painting.

Rosen shook his head and put away the Apocalypse Treasure Map.

Even if this painting hides a great secret or is a precious treasure, what's the point if it can't be found?
Rosen painted the Spirit Realm paintings for half a month, finally managing to get his innate fortune back to Sequence 3.

Just as he was preparing to press on with his momentum, the long-awaited trouble finally arrived.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Rosen's spiritual awareness instantly extended to the area outside the hotel room.

Three intelligence officers were standing outside the door. The blond middle-aged man in the lead was a Sequence 4, while the other two, a man and a woman, were Sequence 5. It was obvious that they were up to no good and were simply trying to use their status to force him out of Shenmu City.

"what's up?"

Rosen slowly opened the door and asked.

“We have received a report that there are alien spies here, and we now need to search the guest rooms.”

The blond, middle-aged man spoke with righteous indignation.

"Whatever you want!"

Rosen sighed softly and stepped aside.

The three judges entered the guest room but found nothing. However, the next moment, one of the judges rubbed a ring on his hand and released a somewhat panicked and confused middle-aged man from it.

"Found it, the Abyss Shapeshifter is hiding here."

The blond middle-aged man sneered and immediately made his move.

However, in the next instant, the entire guest room was enveloped by a void shadow realm, and everyone disappeared from the guest room.
