Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 242 The End of the God War and the Ancient God Ladder

Chapter 241

"Are you sure?"

Rosen, standing next to Sonia, couldn't help but ask.

Originally, the plan was for Sonia and Wendy to team up and attack Qinon's main body.

As a result, Qinong came to Shentu City, and Sonia and Wendy changed their minds at the last minute.

Because Shentu City has the Ancient Tree of Painting Sequence and so many spiritual paintings by painters to assist it, neither Sonia nor Wendy's true forms descended. They planned to rely on their clones to deal with Qinong's true form, and then their true forms would besiege Qinong's divine kingdom.

Rosen wasn't worried about this side; Shen Tu City could easily trap Qinong's true form temporarily.

However, he was worried about the Divine Kingdom. Sonia had only recently become a Sequence 0, and the Divine Kingdom's foundation was far inferior to that of Qinon. Although Qinon was only a Sequence 1 divine avatar in charge of the Divine Kingdom, with the home-field defensive advantage, Sonia and Wendy might not be able to achieve the desired results.

And since you three gods are at war, could you please send me away first?

"Don't underestimate a painter who becomes Sequence 0."

Sonia rolled her eyes at Rosen.

Sonia took out a painting, which depicted a god in distress.

Rosen thought for a moment and recognized it; the painting depicted the tragic death of the previous generation of true gods in the Doctors' Sequence.

This person betrayed the World Government and was eventually captured and publicly executed.

According to his judgment, Sonia's painting was a spiritual work of Sequence 1 quality.

However, it seems to be a level below the level needed to deal with Sequence 0 Chinon.

However, it's not surprising, as Sonia, who has only recently become a Sequence 0, probably hasn't yet created any spiritual paintings that evoke the Sequence 0 spirit.

However, the next moment, Sonia really taught Rosen a lesson.

Sonia did not master the art of dimensions, but she did master other means of creating superimposed spiritual paintings.

She produced hundreds of paintings depicting the suffering of deities, and using unknown artistry, she instantly replaced the deities in the paintings with Qinong, subjecting Qinong to unimaginable and terrible torment from divinity to divine body in a single moment.

If the quality isn't good enough, quantity will make up for it. How were hundreds of Sequence 1 spiritual paintings created?

Despite having painted over a thousand paintings of spiritual realms in thirty years, his works are all only at Sequence 4 level.

Starting from Sequence Level 3, the difficulty of creating any artwork, whether spiritual or extraordinary, increases exponentially. Theoretically, a Sequence 1 painter would need at least a hundred years to complete a Sequence 1 spiritual painting.

If it were a Sequence 1 painting of the Spirit Realm, it might take five hundred years to complete.

Sonia's divine avatar alone has already inflicted tremendous damage on Qinon's main body.

However, on the other hand, Wendy was even more ruthless than Sonia.

Wendy didn't have a self-portrait clone; she only had a divine clone. While the divine clone could share the original's sequence, its greatest strength lay in fusing the extraordinary essence of other races. Therefore, Wendy directly became the Abyss Executioner.

This is an extremely rare abyssal demon, whose greatest skill lies in pain and torment.

Wendy amplified the pain that Chinon endured many times over, to the point that the true form of the dignified deity was so overwhelmed by the pain that he clenched his teeth and even lost control of his body, slowly kneeling down.

But at that moment, the phantom of an archaeological museum appeared behind Qinong.

On one of the display stands, a bloodstained nail instantly fell onto Qinong's head, piercing vertically through his consciousness and skull.

All the pain vanished in that instant, or rather, it was suppressed by that mysterious nail.

Qinong took out a broken spear tip, which instantly transformed into a perfect spear, crackling with golden lightning containing terrifying power. He locked onto Rosen, who was hiding deep within the domain, and hurled it out.

The area was torn apart by the spear, and Rosen was pierced through the heart by the spear almost instantly.

Wendy, who recognized the spear's origin, looked at Rosen with apology and pity.

The pale spear was once a transcendent artifact belonging to a true god.

Later destroyed in the war of the gods, a section of it fell into the hands of Qinong. He used artifact restoration to restore part of the power of the Pale Spear. The most special power of this extraordinary artifact is that it can conceptually erase the things it hits.

The pale spear struck Rosen's heart, but what Qinon wanted to permanently erase was not his heart.

If you lose your heart, there are many ways to replace it.

Therefore, the heart is just a metaphor. What Chinon really wants to erase is Rosen's spiritual origin, because there is a concept of the mind in the world. After Rosen's spiritual origin is permanently erased, he can forget about advancing from Sequence 4 to Sequence 3 in this lifetime.

Rosen gave Qinon a deep look, then, still clutching the spear embedded in his heart, stepped back and disappeared into the mysterious study.

The war between the three gods was only the beginning, lasting for three whole months before it ended.

Qinong himself was not seriously injured, but his divine kingdom was almost completely destroyed.

Sonia solidified her rightful place as a Sequence 0 through this battle, and by the way, she also successfully promoted her own divine kingdom to Sequence 0 by plundering Qinon's divine kingdom. Wendy also seized this opportunity to suppress the archaeologist sequence.

Qinong not only lost the battle, but also bore the main responsibility afterwards.

For the next thousand years, they will basically have to atone for their sins on the front lines.

No one noticed that the trigger for the three gods was a small Sequence 4, and even less did anyone notice where this Sequence 4 went. Only those who cared about Rosen's whereabouts truly cared, but by this time Rosen had completely disappeared from the world's sight.

……

Three years later, the human world is in an endless abyss.

This is a giant cave leading to the deepest part of the earth's core, a bottomless abyss that even the true gods would find difficult to enter.

Legend has it that only the great and true God can truly delve into the bottomless abyss.

Because there are few resources here, no superhumans gather near the Endless Abyss.

Later, several empires on nearby continents developed other uses for the Endless Abyss.

Throwing all the dangerous, unrecyclable waste into the Endless Abyss, and throwing all the death row inmates into the Endless Abyss, created several portals at the edge of the Endless Abyss, along with small lighthouses guarding those portals.

There is no light near the Endless Abyss; all the light has been absorbed by the Endless Abyss.

The lighthouse is the sole source of light, illuminating the endless abyss, which is hundreds of thousands of miles in diameter and resembles a gaping maw.

At one of the lighthouses, an old man with a withered face sent several storage rings into the void launcher.

These spatial rings, which contained dangerous waste and would soon be corroded from the inside and shattered by the waste, were immediately launched into the endless abyss by the void launcher like cannonballs, and finally fell into it and disappeared.

After finishing his work for the day, the withered-looking old man stopped pretending and poured himself a cup of black tea.

Rosen slowly savored his black tea, reflecting on his experiences over the past three years.

It left the game midway and entered the Time Realm, and then left the Eternal Continent through data transmission.

The more confident they were when they went to Shentu City, the more pathetic they were when they left.

He thought his enemy was Qinong, but he never expected that his real enemy was Sonia.

He helped Sonia become Sequence 0. According to the contract of eternal love, Sonia could not do anything to harm him and had to do everything in her power to protect his safety. It was a very lenient contract, but Sonia considered it a disgrace.

So it was not only a trap for Chinon, but also a trap for him.

Sonia initially used her self-portrait clone to drive over a hundred Sequence 1 spiritual paintings.

Therefore, Sonia was directly weakened. In this state, when Qinon attacked him, Sonia could not guarantee his safety even if she tried her best. So Sonia bypassed the Heart-to-Heart Pact in this way.

Of course, he also wondered if he was overthinking it, and if Sonia didn't mean it that way at all.

It's important to know that although she bypassed some of the contracts, there were still some that prevented Sonia from doing anything to harm him.

Whether it's intentional harm or using someone else to kill, it violates another part of the Lucky Heart Lock's contract.

From this perspective, it should be assumed that his being pierced through the heart by the pale spear was merely an accident.

If Sonia had any ill intentions towards him, she should have already suffered the consequences of the contract within the past three years.

But in the end, Rosen still concluded that Sonia wanted to harm him.

Because Wendy's final look was one of pity rather than surprise, Wendy already knew that would be the outcome.

Three years ago, Rosen thought he could absolutely trust Sonia, but he overlooked one thing: for every thing in the world, there is a shield and a spear. There is a power of contract that even gods cannot escape, such as the power of eternal union. Naturally, there is also a power that can suppress or even break such a contract.

After leaving the Eternal Continent, Rosen spent half a year figuring out the origin of the Pale Spear.

Even now, fragments of the pale spearhead remain embedded in the heart, impossible to remove.

Nine points of his spiritual essence were permanently obliterated by the pale spear.

If it weren't for the ancient god's sacrificial artifact, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his Sequence 4 level. Anyone else would have been lying down and waiting to die, but this injury wasn't enough to make Rosen despair.

In addition to the Ancient God Body, the Ancient God Sequence also has a special skill called Ancient God Divinity.

The divinity of the ancient gods can reshape the spiritual origin, thereby raising the upper limit of each sequence of the spiritual origin to 13 points.

According to the ancient gods' teachings, 13 points of spirituality is the limit for each sequence.

Only those with 13 points of spirituality have a chance to transcend the great true God.

However, mastering the divinity of the ancient gods is not an easy task. In the early stages of the ancient god sequence, it was through special rituals that the spiritual origin was reshaped and the divinity of the ancient gods was mastered when advancing from sequence 1 to sequence 0.

Later, a new method was developed, and Sequence 3 could master the divinity of the ancient gods.

That is to directly contact the Ancient God at Sequence 3 and use the power of the Ancient God to achieve the ultimate sublimation of one's own spirituality.

That's why Rosen came to the Endless Abyss. As far as he knew, the body of the first ancient god was sleeping at the very bottom of the Endless Abyss.

Although the first generation of ancient gods perished, they even gave birth to the second generation of ancient gods.

Some studies suggest that the second-generation ancient gods were offspring conceived from the corpses of the first-generation ancient gods.

Other studies suggest that the original ancient gods could not have died, but simply shed their skin and were reborn as a second life.

Other studies suggest that the second-generation Ancient Gods were alter egos of the first-generation Ancient Gods.

These studies are not random guesses; each one is supported by sufficient evidence.

The body of the first ancient god, slumbering in the depths of the endless abyss, serves as evidence for the third type of research.

To delve into the endless abyss and approach the body of the first ancient god, there was initially only one way: to become a great true god.

Later, the great true god of the ancient god civilization, in order to enable other ancient god sequences to grasp the divinity of the ancient gods in advance, gathered the power of the entire civilization and opened up an ancient god staircase in the endless abyss that only ancient god sequences could tread.

By using the Stairway to the Ancients, Sequence 3 is sufficient to delve into the Endless Abyss and approach the First Ancient Gods.

However, Rosen did not possess the complete sequence of ancient gods, but he did have the body of an ancient god.

So for the two years he spent in the Endless Abyss, he was constantly testing the Ancient God Staircase.

If even the body of an ancient god is not enough to gain the approval of the ancient god's ladder, it won't be so easy for him to go in and come out.

After two years of testing, Rosen has determined that the Ancient God Ladder will not target him because his knowledge of the Ancient God sequence is incomplete.

The Ancient God Ladder recognizes both the bloodline of the ancient gods and their divine bodies.

Only by possessing both of these can one meet the basic conditions for mastering the divinity of the ancient gods.

Now that everything is ready, it's time to enter the Stairway to the Ancient Gods.

Rosen arrived at the edge of the endless abyss, activated the Ancient God's Divine Body, integrated the original bloodline of primitive humans into the noble extraordinary essence, released the Ancient God's bloodline and integrated it into his entire bloodline, and then struck the Ancient God's sacrificial artifact that trapped the fragments of the pale spear in his heart.

Silently, a path shrouded in billowing black mist appeared before him.

Rosen stepped onto the path and disappeared along with the ancient god's staircase.

The Stairway to the Ancient Gods is essentially similar to a wormhole.

The space in the middle is folded to form a much shorter safety passage.

Such a path presents no challenges or dangers.

Since being able to ascend the Ancient God Staircase already meets the criteria for talent selection by the Ancient God Civilization, what need is there for further testing? Moreover, the Ancient God Staircase is already difficult enough to fold and distort the space of the endless abyss; adding another test would only create unnecessary trouble.

Of course, there are challenges, but the only one is whether one can master the divinity of the ancient gods.

The Stairway to the Ancient Gods cannot be moved at high speeds, nor can it utilize supernatural powers.

Because the Ancient God Staircase was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, all its power was used to resist the endless abyss's modification of the space, leaving little power to protect against internal destruction. In the end, they simply used methods to seal the extraordinary power of those who entered.

Fortunately, this stretch of road is not long; according to records, the Ancient God's Ladder is only about 30 million miles long.

If Rosen walks slowly, it will take him about seven years to reach his destination.

Rosen was gone for three years, and then he stopped.

Because the path ahead was blocked, a hand, shrouded in billowing black mist, was gripping the broken part of the ancient god's staircase as if hanging on the edge of a cliff. The moment he saw that hand, he felt an immense terror stemming from his bloodline instincts.

"Ancient God...this is the hand of an Ancient God..."

Rosen said absentmindedly.

It took him a long time to come to his senses before he realized how small the ancient god's hand could be.

It should be noted that the width of the Ancient Gods' Staircase is less than ten meters.

His palm was less than ten meters wide, while, as far as he knew, the body of a true god was about the size of the main world.

The difference is too great, but apart from the ancient gods, what other being could exert such pressure on him just by seeing a hand?

Whether it is or not, you'll know once you try to grasp the divinity of the ancient gods.

Mastering the divinity of the ancient gods is essentially about constantly getting closer to them and using their pressure to temper the bloodline within your body. When the awakening level of the ancient god's bloodline reaches 50%, the ancient god's body will naturally nourish your soul, allowing your spiritual essence to be sublimated and transformed.

Rosen continued to approach despite the pressure, and sure enough, his bloodline awakening level began to increase.

Over the years, Paradise Pharmaceuticals has never stopped supplying the Divine Blood Awakening Potion, so his bloodline awakening level is close to 29%. Later, when the Ancient God Body awakened, his bloodline awakening level reached 40%, but he did not awaken any new Ancient God sequence skills.

At 30% and 40%, Rosen simply inherited more of the ancient god civilization's legacy from his bloodline.

It was from here that the Endless Abyss learned that the awakening of the ancient god's bloodline, which had remained unchanged for over a decade, was finally beginning to advance little by little. After confirming that the hand gripping the ancient god's staircase was still, he began to cautiously approach step by step.

Behind him, by the window of the mysterious study, a self-portrait clone was ready to reach out and pull him inside at any moment.

Finally, two years later, Rosen's bloodline awakening level reached 49%.

However, this last one percent has become a bottleneck, preventing any further progress.

Rosen was almost ten meters away from the palm, but there was still no sign of his bloodline awakening continuing to grow.

You can't just stand on it. You have to understand that according to the records of the inherited memories, even the great true gods cannot directly touch the bodies of the ancient gods. They can only steal some of the original bloodline of the ancient gods through indirect methods, which is how the subsequent ancient god sequence came about.

Rosen himself dared not approach, so he hid in the mysterious study and released the network cable of the main god's computer.

The instant the network cable touched his palm, nine-colored light burst forth from the cable and enveloped his palm. His palm visibly began to shrink little by little; it turned out to be a severed piece of his hand that had gripped the broken edge of the ancient god's staircase.

Just as the palm shrank and was pulled into the mysterious study by the network cable, the ancient god staircase began to collapse from the broken edge.

Rosen had no choice but to leave the mysterious study and do everything he could to run back the way he came.

He had tried other methods, but even data transmission was impossible to achieve on the Ancient God Stairway.

With his last breath, Rosen ran out of the Ancient God Staircase in less than a year.

Less than two days after they broke away, the Ancient God Staircase completely collapsed.

Only then did Rosen have time to enter the mysterious study and wait for the main god computer to completely suppress the severed hand.

Three years passed, and the severed hand disappeared, sealed inside the ancient god's computer.

It was only then that Rosen realized who the owner of the severed hand was.

This is not the severed hand of an ancient god, but the severed hand of a great true god of the ancient god civilization.

It is known that the great true god of the main god civilization was ultimately destroyed by the other true gods of the main god civilization, along with the Destiny Tablet.

However, there is no trace of the great true god of the ancient god civilization in the inherited memories.

Rosen once suspected that the will of the abyss was the great true god of the ancient god civilization.

It now seems that the great true god of the ancient god civilization may have perished in the depths of the endless abyss. In his final moments, he grasped the broken ancient god staircase with his hand, but his hand was severed by some force, and he ultimately failed to climb the ancient god staircase.

Of course, this is just speculation, and the truth remains unknown.

The severed hand gripped the edge of the broken staircase of the ancient gods. The staircase of the ancient gods, which should have collapsed long ago, was barely maintained by the same source of power within the severed hand. However, over countless years, the power remaining within the severed hand has been almost completely depleted.

Otherwise, with the current Ancient God Computer, it wouldn't be qualified to suppress and seal the severed hand of the Great True God at his peak.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the severed hand of the great true god, even when exhausted and his life force is exhausted, is no small matter.

The main god's computer is refining the remaining ancient god bloodline, which will be enough to awaken 50% of his ancient god bloodline. As for the severed hand itself, it cannot be used for the time being. At least he will be qualified to use this severed hand of the great true god when he becomes a god.
