Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 211 Chaotic Order and Paradise Pharmaceuticals

Chapter 210

Chaotic Seas is a vast underground sea that exists in the underworld.

However, the seawater here is not in a liquid state, but in a gaseous state of steam.

On the sea, which rises like clouds and mist, drift islands of all sizes and giant steel ships.

When he was a kilometer away from the chaotic sea, Rosen could feel that his spirituality was no longer being suppressed.

It was just a fleeting glimpse in the air, which landed on the sea surface and neutralized the impact of the high-speed descent.

The other prisoners who fell down one after another had basically survived by using their own methods. Only one, perhaps stunned, was thrown vertically into the chaotic sea along with the seawater, exploding into a cloud of steam like a mushroom cloud.

Following the twinkling lights he had seen earlier, Rosen spotted a giant lighthouse standing in the sea, its lights constantly flashing.

The other prisoners also saw it at this time and flew towards the lighthouse one after another.

Rosen blinked repeatedly in the void and was soon the first to arrive at the lighthouse.

There was no sign of life inside the lighthouse; all that could be seen were words on the lighthouse tower that conveyed terrifying power.

Rosen took a look and realized that the inscription on the tower was actually the rules set by the World Government for the chaotic seas.

This tower is called the Lighthouse of Disorder, a supernatural building of Sequence 2.

This tower suppresses the entire Chaotic Sea. Those below Sequence 1 cannot ascend more than a thousand meters here, let alone climb tens of thousands of kilometers back to the sea surface. Therefore, one is allowed to enter the Chaotic Sea but not leave, unless one becomes a Sequence 1 to have the strength to escape the Chaotic Sea.

Rosen randomly chose a direction and kept moving forward, intending to find a living person first to understand the details.

The chaotic sea was devoid of sunlight, yet rays of light emanated from beneath the gaseous ocean floor.

So the view from the sea surface was fairly clear, which was basically equivalent to a cloudy day.

Several hours later, Rosen spotted an ironclad ship enchanted with levitation magic on the sea.

The ironclad ship appeared to have a device at the bottom that extracted gaseous seawater, which was then heated and converted into steam power. This was not a truly extraordinary ship. After a few flashes in the void, he had quietly appeared on the ship.

There were only a few people on the ship, all of them ordinary people, none of them were superhuman.

Rosen didn't even need to show himself; with mind control combined with mind reading, he easily obtained the information he wanted.

The chaotic seas he was in now were somewhat different from the chaotic seas he knew.

In the beginning, this place was indeed a paradise for the disorderly.

However, disorder means chaos, chaos means slaughter, and slaughter means death. Ironically, after more and more of those who first entered the chaotic seas twenty thousand years ago died, those who pursued disorder actually established a new order.

Although this order is still mostly chaotic and the degree of order is very limited, it is not so bad that it will destroy itself because of the disorder.

Over the course of 20,000 years, the population of the chaotic seas has grown significantly.

There are humans among them, but there are also many other races. Humans and other races are living together in harmony here.

There's a reason why the seawater in the Chaotic Sea is in a steam-like state: an unknown ancient true god is suppressed beneath the Chaotic Sea, and the seawater is simply being assimilated and decomposed by the power of the true god to form special steam.

Moreover, it wasn't just humans who suppressed this true god; even other races participated in suppressing him.

The specifics of how an ordinary person is suppressed are unknown, but just like how humans constantly send prisoners down, the alien races also exile prisoners to the Chaotic Sea, except that within the alien races, the Chaotic Sea is called the Abyss of Despair.

In addition to sending prisoners down, the world government and alien races will also send supplies down.

However, only the major powers can obtain supplies; ordinary people are not qualified to enjoy supplies from the outside world.

This ironclad ship mainly relied on collecting steam for its livelihood.

The steam formed by the unknown true god from the seawater is mostly just ordinary water vapor with a little bit of specialness that can gather into the sea. However, some of the steam contains special spirituality and has special effects. It can be exchanged for money after being brought back to the city.

Having determined the location of the human settlement, Rosen quickly spotted an island through the void.

The island, which is only about ten miles in circumference, is packed with high-rise buildings and is extremely crowded. The island is surrounded by ports and ironclad ships, so it is clear that the main way for ordinary people on this island to make a living is by collecting special steam.

Rosen spotted the only shipyard on the island; it was the only place where the ironclad ship could be enchanted with levitation.

Without enchantments, ironclad ships cannot sail on special seawater composed of steam.

In addition, the fact that the villa is the only three-story villa on the entire island inside the shipyard makes it easy to see the status of the villa's owner on the island. And the higher the status, the more information one must know.

Rosen teleported directly into the villa and waited for a while, but the villa's owner did not return.

He found a photo in the master bedroom; the middle-aged man in the photo was probably the villa owner.

He casually took out the Fate Pen and successfully checked the target's basic fate information using the Fate Check. Then, he used Fate Hunt to track the shipyard owner's current whereabouts and finally wrote a Fate Script to urge the shipyard owner to go home immediately.

Less than five minutes later, the middle-aged man in the photo appeared in front of Rosen.

With mind control and mind reading, he quickly obtained the information he needed.

Rosen then traveled to larger islands, searching for the most powerful people on those islands. Finally, a few days later, he discovered the existence of superhumans. In the days before, he had only seen some inferior superhuman artifacts.

Rosen used his mind control to subdue Sequence 9 before him, and after half an hour, he finally learned the current situation of the Chaotic Sea.

What ordinary people know are just legends and stories.

Those with extraordinary abilities know the more detailed truth.

That's generally correct. The deep sea does indeed suppress a true god of unknown origin, and it's also correct that humans and other races live together. The only mistake is that the supplies sent down by the World Government are not free, but need to be exchanged for various special steam.

Because of the lack of magical potions and diverse extraordinary resources, there are very few extraordinary individuals in the Chaotic Sea.

Moreover, apart from foreign prisoners, almost no locals have switched to any of the nine sequences of human civilization.

This news truly disappointed Rosen.

He came to the Chaotic Sea not to hide from Damon's father, but because it was chaotic and disorderly. Without order, there was no need to worry about anything. Before he came, he even thought about conquering the entire Chaotic Sea to make it his foothold in reality.

However, it now seems that the chaotic seas are no longer what they used to be and have lost their value for conquest.

Those who were originally involved in establishing the World Government have disappeared over the long span of 20,000 years. Those who were not strong enough died here long ago, and those who were strong enough had no reason to be trapped here and left long ago.

"As expected, there is no place left in the human world worth exploring."

Rosen shook his head, already considering leaving the chaotic seas.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he was a little unwilling. He was also very interested in the true god sealed in the deep sea. What kind of existence could make humans and alien races join forces to seal it? Out of curiosity, he reluctantly made a celestial prophecy.

He doesn't have many high-grade spiritual crystals left now, at most a few billion.

It wasn't enough to modify the ecological laws again. Fortunately, the modified ecological laws are permanent, and the Void Realm will be able to maintain the balance of light and darkness in the future. Otherwise, even if he had let Damon go, he wouldn't have spent so much to modify the ecological laws.

As the celestial prophecy unfolded, scenes kept appearing before Rosen's eyes.

His disappointment vanished, replaced by boundless enthusiasm.

The information I just learned from the extraordinary being at Sequence 9 turned out to be a mixture of truth and falsehood.

The lower-level Sequence 9 has a huge bias in its understanding of the upper levels because of their status and position.

Indeed, there are very few extraordinary beings in the Chaotic Sea, but the weak are very weak and the strong are very strong. Moreover, a unique extraordinary sequence has developed here.

A few days later, Rosen arrived near Paradise Island, one of the largest islands in the chaotic sea.

This island belongs to Paradise Pharmaceuticals, which is responsible for producing almost all the magic potions in the Chaotic Sea and controls almost all the pharmaceutical and medical businesses in the entire Chaotic Sea. Paradise Pharmaceuticals has thus become one of the six giants in the Chaotic Sea.

There are no countries or civilizations here, only three companies, two pirate kings, and a city.

The entire Paradise Island resembles a gigantic, semi-transparent medical pod stretching for hundreds of miles. The lowest level is planted with extraordinary plants, the next level is for people to clone extraordinary life forms to obtain extraordinary materials, the next level is a densely packed factory area, the fourth level is the living area for millions of people, and finally the fifth level is where the company's top executives and all the extraordinary individuals reside.

The entire Paradise Pharmaceuticals complex is completely closed off, and Paradise Island is only open to the public on specific trading days.

This time, Rosen did not rush in, because the entire Paradise Island was actually a half-finished version of the Sequence 1 God Kingdom.

Don't even think about sneaking in silently. Although the chairman of Paradise Pharmaceuticals is only a Sequence 3, according to the final prediction of the celestial phenomena, this chairman possesses at least a Sequence 1 extraordinary artifact.

Rosen entered the mysterious study and looked out the window at Paradise Island.

All he could think about was how to seize Paradise Island and how to completely control Paradise Pharmaceuticals.

Among the six major forces in the Chaotic Sea, Heavenly Pharmaceuticals was the first to be targeted. This was mainly because the hundreds of billions of people in the Ancient God Realm were awakening their spirituality due to the Main God Game, and he could no longer provide enough magic potions for large-scale job changes.

Moreover, the job change is just the beginning; he won't be able to support everyone on his own in the future.

In particular, as the humans of Lake Möbius gradually set foot on the Dark Continent, they have gained an increasingly vast living space.

If human population were to be freed from population limits, the population would quickly balloon from tens of billions to hundreds of billions.

At that time, either the total population of the Ancient God Realm will be limited, or a portion of the believers of the Main God Church will be sent out of the Ancient God Realm.

However, the land and resources of the human world are all owned, and the land outside the human world is also surrounded by alien races.

It's not like 20,000 years ago, when it was easy to expand territory and establish duchies and kingdoms.

The chaotic seas are now the most suitable place for him to develop.

Rosen originally thought that this place was resource-poor and there was no need to conquer it. However, after learning about the existence of the six giants, he realized that this place was not resource-poor. It was just that the good things were completely monopolized by the six giants, and the people below could only eat scraps and barely survive.

Rosen left the mysterious study and turned to leave; for the time being, Paradise Island was not a place he could come to.

A few hours later, Rosen arrived at Despair Island, the closest island to Paradise Island.

This place is closest to Paradise Island, so it should be very well developed here.

In fact, quite the opposite is true: Paradise Island has no patients, while Despair Island is almost entirely populated by patients.

Because the chaotic seas lack many medical sequences and healing potions, and because many bacteria and viruses, after being contaminated by spirituality, become extraordinary bacteria and viruses, these things pose a threat to extraordinary individuals, let alone ordinary people.

All the slightly larger islands in the Chaotic Sea have one-way teleportation arrays leading to Despair Island.

If someone contracts an incurable disease on their original island, they will use a teleportation array to come to Despair Island to struggle for survival.

If you're unlucky, you'll die and no one will care. If you're lucky, you'll be chosen by Paradise Island for drug trials, or become a tool for the doctors on Paradise Island to hone their medical skills. Some people will be cured and survive, but most will die silently on Paradise Island.

They really don't treat people like human beings here, and they don't care at all about the impact of dead humans on the fate of the human race.

Rosen had pretty much figured out what was going on. The human race's fortune was composed of countless humans. The fortune of a single person was weak, but the fortune of countless people combined was much greater. Therefore, the basic living conditions of ordinary people under the World Government were guaranteed.

This is not because the world government's top brass is particularly kind-hearted; it's simply to maximize the fortune of the human race.

The Chaotic Sea is somewhat special. When humans die here, their personal fortune does not affect the fortune of the human race. Instead, their personal fortune flows directly to the seabed of the Chaotic Sea. This applies not only to humans but also to the personal fortunes of other races.

If you think about it, you'll realize that not all races need positive luck like humans do.

The endless infighting among the abyss demons generates mostly negative civilizational fortune, but the will of the abyss needs this negative civilizational fortune, so there should also be places in the chaotic seabed that need negative fortune.

It's unlikely that the sealed true god would need it, because it's improbable that the various races would willingly feed this true god.

Rosen deduced that the seal itself required it; the various races created a seal that needed negative luck to maintain, so humans didn't care about the backlash of negative luck from the human race here, and even exiled the most vicious prisoners here along with many other races.

What I want is chaos in the chaotic seas, and the negative fortune born from the turmoil here.

After arriving on Despair Island, Rosen spent his days healing and saving people through drawing.

In particular, the golden apples he painted could cure all kinds of ailments, no matter how difficult they were to treat.

So much so that within just a few days of his arrival, Richard Phoenix's name was already known to everyone on Despair Island.

After eight hours of treatment each day, he returned to the small building he rented on the island.

Before he even stepped inside, he already knew someone was waiting for him.

Rosen pushed open the door and entered. On the sofa sat a middle-aged man in a suit who looked serious and earnest.

"Please take a seat."

The middle-aged man spoke arrogantly, as if he were the owner of the house.

"It came pretty quickly."

After Rosen sat down, he opened the Void Album, took out two golden apples, and tossed one to the middle-aged man.

"You came here specifically for us."

After taking the golden apple, the middle-aged man took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he said with satisfaction.

"There's no other way; people have to make a living."

Rosen shrugged helplessly and said, "Since I've come to this godforsaken place, Chaotic Seas, I have to find a way out. I think Paradise Pharmaceuticals needs someone like me. Paradise Pharmaceuticals is too closed off, so I can only wait for you to come to me."

"Wena Butch, Head of Medical Affairs at Despair Island, welcome to the team."

The middle-aged man stood up and extended his hand to Rosen.

After Rosen stood up and shook hands, Weiner immediately helped him complete the onboarding procedures.

Weiner was quite satisfied with his new colleague, Richard.

It had been several days since Richard arrived on Despair Island. On the first day of Richard's arrival, the medical director had already received news that Richard was not a spy for any other faction. These past few days, he had been waiting for the investigation department to investigate Richard's identity, trying to ensure that Richard was not a spy for any other faction.

The investigation revealed that Richard's identity was clean; he was a prisoner sent from the Divine Wood Empire on the Holy Continent.

The charge was merely that he allegedly colluded with the Duchess and her daughter to poison the Duke. He was a promising Sequence 6 painter who ended up in the chaotic seas because of his obsession with beauty. It was almost impossible for him to be a spy for other forces, because painters have no access to the core of Paradise Pharmaceuticals.

The painter's value lies in creating paintings of spiritual realms, which further enhances the production of extraordinary plants from Paradise Pharmaceuticals.

Similar to the golden apple painted by Richard, its value is immeasurable.

Therefore, although Richard could not enter the core of Paradise Pharmaceuticals, it is conceivable that he would thrive there.

Therefore, Weiner treated Rosen very well, as if they were about to become good friends from their very first meeting.

After completing the onboarding procedures, Weiner personally escorted Rosen to Paradise Island.

The once closed Paradise Island has opened a passageway, and once inside, it is discovered that what can be seen from the outside is only the tip of the iceberg. The spiritual concentration inside Paradise Island actually exceeds that of the City of Stars.

This means that Paradise Pharmaceuticals' foundation, even if not as strong as City of Stars, is not far behind.

Rosen's attempt to take control of Paradise Pharmaceuticals will likely be more difficult than he anticipated.

However, since the celestial prophecy pointed to this place, and he also learned some secrets of Paradise Pharmaceuticals through the celestial prophecy, then controlling Paradise Pharmaceuticals is not wishful thinking. The next step is to see if he can seize the opportunities one by one.

Rosen joined the logistics department, and his task was to create paintings of the spirit realm to provide the golden apples.

The more you work, the more you earn; all the earnings are converted into Paradise Island's corporate credit points.

Paradise Pharmaceuticals also has its own order, where the capable rise and the mediocre fall. The more credit points you have, the higher your authority and the more positions you can choose. This is one of the reasons why Lawson targeted Paradise Pharmaceuticals first.

Luo Zan had originally planned to earn credit points and wait for a promotion, but he fell silent after seeing Paradise Pharmaceuticals' credit shop.

There are so many great things here; after reading them, accumulating credit points is really not an easy task.
