Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 256 Arcanist Faerun and the Dragon God's Battlefield
Chapter 255

As Rosen perused the inheritance of the ancient god sequence, he discovered that there were indeed flesh-and-blood clones.

He didn't crave clones; the self-portrait clones were basically enough for him.

Because if you don't split yourself properly, things can easily go wrong.

Self-portrait clones, which can multitask like opening multiple instances, are fine, but some clones can easily take over. In addition, cultivating clones is not easy. In the later stages, divine clones are sufficient, so there is no need to specifically master clone skills.

However, it now seems that the flesh-and-blood avatar of the Ancient God Sequence has a deeper meaning.

They only create physical clones, not consciousness clones, and then disguise the bodies and give them to others. Imagine how devastated a gifted intelligent being would be if they finally became a true god, only to find that their body had disappeared.

I bitterly resent spending year after year embroidering gold thread, only to have it all become a wedding gown for someone else...

Rosen was eager to master the flesh and blood clone, and then give all the Sequence 4 high-ranking dragons in the Dragon Realm a new body, so that these high-ranking dragons could help him strengthen the Ancient God Body, and he could then focus all his energy on spiritual cultivation.

Rosen is now somewhat relieved that he managed to turn those bones into paintings.

If extraordinary bloodlines were truly extracted and injected into the bodies of the people, these people, who had finally reached Sequence 3, would likely have their control taken away by the great true god of the Pantheon Mountain Sea.

Rosen transformed into his true form as a bronze dragon of Faerûn and flapped his wings, heading towards Dragon Island.

Now that Faerûn is already Sequence 3 and has a dragon's nest with time authority, it's unlikely to yield much more in the outer sea. After all, the outer sea is just too vast, and searching aimlessly makes it difficult to stumble upon high-value dragon tombs.

Moreover, he no longer has any Miracle Treasure Maps of Sequence 1, because he has been busy recently pushing both his innate and acquired fortune to the level of a true god.

From the moment he obtained the treasure of the hunting god, he did everything he could to enhance his innate fortune.

All the miracle maps were from the stockpile before that.

However, even with the miraculous spark of inspiration, it is extremely difficult for the innate destiny of a true god to be transformed.

Rosen has seen many powerful individuals, but so far he has never seen one with the innate fortune of a true god.

Because innate fortune is the baseline of one's natural talent, a god-level innate fortune means that one is destined to become a god.

However, it should be noted that even forbidden demigods dare not say they are 100% certain of becoming true gods.

Therefore, the difficulty of reaching the level of a true god through innate destiny is even greater than the awakening of the divine body of an ancient god and the mastery of the divinity of an ancient god.

Rosen crossed the endless ocean to return to Dragon Island, a journey that took a full two years of accelerated flight.

It's not that there aren't faster ways to travel, but rather that he has been gradually integrating into the Arcane Network over the past two years.

The five major networks of the main world include the Arcane Network, which allows all magic-based classes of other races to log in.

In fact, since spirituality became the primary element of transcendence, almost 90% of the classes have been classified as magic-based professions.

However, being qualified to log in to the Arcane Network does not mean being qualified to wield its power.

The Arcane Network stores almost all magical knowledge from different eras. Even spellcasters can upload their own magical skills to the Arcane Network, allowing other users to unleash skills they didn't know before.

In the current era of potion sequences where skill slots are limited, Arcane Web perfectly solves the problem of insufficient skills for magic-based classes.

However, not all magic-based classes are qualified to cast spells using Arcane Net.

Instead, one must become an arcane mage recognized by the Arcane Network, an arcane mage who conforms to the spellcasting system of the present era.

Before spirituality became the dominant force, the earliest magic-based professions were centered around magic.

Later, arcane mages emerged. This profession can maximize the power of magic by relying on knowledge, and the essence of knowledge is rules and laws. Arcane mages have a natural advantage in this regard. At its peak, the arcane empire reached the level of a sixth-tier civilization.

Later, spirituality became the mainstream, and magic almost completely disappeared from the era.

However, arcane mages became even more powerful. But with the birth of more and more true gods, arcane mages could only master the rules and not the laws, so they could never reach their peak again.

However, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; the arcane mage class remains the top magic class.

Furthermore, with spirituality at its core, the compatibility of arcane mages has increased dramatically.

Dragon language magic, which is the most proficient language of the dragon race, is one of the most popular magic skill systems in the Arcane Magic Network.

The current arcanist hierarchy only considers the knowledge one possesses, disregarding everything else.

Simply upload knowledge to the Arcane Network, and the knowledge will nourish the Arcane Network. In return, the Arcane Network will grant you an Arcane Mage sequence of equal value, allowing you to cast spells through the Arcane Network.

Over the years that Rosen has traversed the endless seas, he has raised Faerûn's arcane mage rank to Rank 3.

【Ferran Cartis: The Bronze Dragon】

[Class: Sequence 3 Dragon, Sequence 3 Arcanist]

Divinity Strength: 74

[Divine Authority: Divine Authority of Time, Divine Authority of Arcane Power]

[Dragon's Nest: The Historical Dragon's Nest]

[Skills: Arcane Ring, Time Affinity, Time Control, Time Dragon Breath, Time Prison, Time Anchor...]

Rosen looked at the Arcane Circle skill and felt somewhat strange.

The Arcane Sorcerer sequence has only ever had one skill: Arcane Circle.

Each sequence level has four arcane rings, and sequence 3 has a total of 28 arcane rings.

These arcane rings consist of seven innate and twenty-one acquired.

All innate arcane spells can carry the knowledge they possess to form their own unique arcane spells. The remaining spells can freely carry the knowledge they possess or skills downloaded from the arcane network, thus generating ordinary arcane spells with weaker effects.

For the same skill, the power of a unique arcane spell is at least two times stronger and at most ten times stronger than that of a regular arcane spell.

Rosen used to be able to log into the Arcane Network, but without the Arcane Circle, he couldn't download skills.

Now, thanks to Faerûn's spiritual essence, he has transitioned to the arcane mage class and truly realized just how powerful the arcane network is.

The power contained within the Arcane Net is probably very close to that of the Great God.

However, the Arcane Web, which contains such powerful energy, is generally recognized as ranking fourth among the five major networks.

It is obvious that other networks hold hidden secrets.

The God Computer can only log into various networks, but it is far from being able to completely control them. Even the God Network, which appears to be completely under its control, has probably not yet shown its true power.

The eastern coast of Dragon Island is home to the Sea Dragon City, and the entire eastern coastline is the territory of aquatic dragon races such as the Sea Dragon Clan and the Water Dragon Clan.

Rosen transformed into human form and landed outside Hailong City. The city lord of Hailong City immediately came out of the city to greet him respectfully.

Although the city lord is a Sequence 3 Dragonblood Warrior, he is not a pure-blooded dragon but a Dragonborn Sea Shark.

Therefore, upon discovering that a high-ranking dragon had arrived in Sea Dragon City, he immediately chose to bow his head. As long as the dragons did not go too far, he would tolerate it as much as possible. Only when he could no longer tolerate it would he notify the Sea Dragon Clan, who was behind him. However, this would also lower the Sea Dragon Clan's opinion of him.

"My lord, how may I be of service to you?"

Lord Hailong followed Rosen's respectful inquiry.

"I need a batch of pure-blooded converted familiars, and a teleportation array to the Dragon God Battlefield."

Rosen said without any politeness.

"The purebloods kept in Hailong City are all low- to mid-level sea creatures. Do you have any particular preferences?"

The Lord of Hailong City breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

Where are the high-level sea creatures nearby?

Rosen frowned.

"Only my father god keeps a few in the dragon's nest..."

The Lord of Hailong City answered in a trembling voice.

"Contact your Father God and tell him that I need a batch of pure-blooded Naga."

Rosen gave the order without room for argument. "I'll go right now."

Lord Hailong had no choice but to agree, not daring to refuse.

Rosen stayed temporarily in Hailong City, and half a day later, he finally heard the dragon's might coming from outside the city.

He instantly transformed into a bronze dragon and soared into the sky within the city. Outside the city, a Sequence 2 sea dragon stood atop a towering wave that seemed to stand still, gazing at him from afar. Then, it rode the waves and retreated away from the Sea Dragon City.

Time accelerated around Rosen instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he had traversed dozens of miles and appeared behind the sea dragon.

The seventh-order arcane ring around him activated, and a giant halo interwoven with countless spiritual runes immediately appeared. This was the Ice Age Dragon Language Magic Sequence 3 that he had downloaded from the Arcane Magic Network. A dragon head materialized within the halo, spewing out terrifying icy dragon breath.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, apart from Hailong City, even the sea froze within a few breaths.

Hailong looked at Rosen with shock and anger. He hadn't expected that this was actually a high-ranking dragon who had been promoted to the Arcane Mage class.

Although dragons are known for producing arcane sorcerers, not all dragons can become arcane sorcerers.

The key to becoming an arcanist is the knowledge one possesses. If the knowledge already exists within the arcane network, it is difficult to become an arcanist. Even if one manages to accumulate knowledge and eventually become an arcanist, one will ultimately be limited to Sequence 4.

Only by mastering knowledge that even the Arcane Network has not mastered can one possibly become a Sequence 3 Arcane Mage.

If the fight continues, it might end in a draw between them, both of them being Sequence 2.

The sea dragon lowered its head in resignation and released ten thousand pure-blooded Nagas from its own dragon nest.

Rosen spat out the historical dragon's nest and took away all the pure-blooded Nagas before flapping his wings and heading to Sea Dragon City to teleport away.

Within the Dragon Realm, pure-blooded dragons are not allowed to kill each other; only the Dragon King has the authority to execute dragons of his own kind.

However, the Dragon Realm allows the survival of the fittest, and there are basically two types of dragons in the Dragon Realm.

The first method is to establish a city, then raise purebloods of various races, and then convert them into followers, or directly have dragon offspring with purebloods of other races. Finally, by ruling over the dragon offspring and their followers, one can develop a faith and become a dragon lord.

As for the second type of dragon, they take the route of conquering and plundering everywhere.

If you have no followers left, you can ask the dragon lord for them. Of course, the dragon lord will not agree. If you win, you will gain a group of pure-blooded aliens. If you lose, you can never cause trouble for the dragon lord again. You may even be seriously injured by the dragon lord.

Because of the competition between the two sides, the dragons in the Dragon Realm were forced into infighting.

Over the years, although no new dragon god has been born, the strength of the middle and lower levels of the dragon race has gradually recovered. Otherwise, they would not have frequently launched the Dragon God Battlefield, a fierce civil war within the dragon race to allocate territory.

After the teleportation ended, Rosen had arrived at Dragon God Mountain, where the Dragon God Battlefield was located.

Dragon God Mountain is three million miles in diameter and two million miles in height. There are countless dragon lairs on the mountain, and thousands of them exude terrifying dragon might. These are all giant dragons that are preparing to show their might on the Dragon God battlefield.

After being teleported to the foot of the mountain, Rosen took to the air and randomly found a clean dragon's lair to crawl into.

Although the Dragon Realm is vast and pure-blooded dragons are few, there are countless dragon descendants and their retinues.

Dragons rarely give birth to pure-blooded dragons, but they not only do not have reproductive isolation from most other races, they can also greatly enhance their fertility and easily give birth to a large number of dragon offspring containing dragon blood. Furthermore, they can directly pollute pure-blooded other races with dragon blood and turn them into their own.

Therefore, dragons never lack servants, and no matter how vast the dragon realm is, they can develop and control it with the help of their descendants and followers.

However, a problem arises: having too many dragon descendants and their families is not a good thing.

It is a waste of resources, and if it exceeds the resource regeneration rate of the Dragon Realm, it will lead to the gradual decline of the Dragon Realm.

Therefore, the Dragon God Battlefield came into being. One-third of the land in the entire Dragon Realm is allocated to the territories of different dragon species. These territories will not change hands, but how much of the remaining two-thirds can be occupied depends on the strength ranking of the Dragon God Battlefield.

All pure-blooded dragons can send their dragon offspring and followers into the Dragon God Battlefield, a veritable meat grinder.

Those who survive are the elite, while those who die not only reduce the waste of resources, but their flesh, souls, and spirits also become nourishment for the Dragon God Battlefield, thus giving birth to various resources and treasures of great value to the dragon race.

The only rule governing whether the Dragon God Battlefield opens or not is the number of dragon descendants and their followers in the Dragon Realm.

If the red line is crossed, the Dragon God Battlefield will open to balance the ecology of the Dragon Realm.

In the last two thousand years, the frequency of opening the Dragon God Battlefield has been increasing.

This indicates that the dragon race is becoming stronger and is gradually shaking off its weakened state.

However, unless the number of true god-level dragon gods increases several times over, the dragon race's return to its peak is still a long way off.

Inside the historical dragon's nest, Rosen created a sea.

His Ancient God Heart contained a vast amount of Ancient God blood, making it easy for him to convert it into the blood of the bronze dragons of Faerûn. In particular, he also possessed the Dragon Blood Vial, so the sea quickly turned into a sea of ​​blood.

Tens of thousands of pure-blooded Naga were seen struggling in the sea, seemingly on the verge of drowning and dying at any moment.

The success rate of forcibly becoming a follower of a dragon through its blood is roughly one in two.

Rosen couldn't bear to see half of the pure-blooded Naga die, so he materialized a golden apple tree and let the golden apples fall into the sea and merge into the sea of ​​blood. He even planted the seeds of the seven deadly sins in the bodies of all the Naga.

With the double support, all pure-blooded Naga were transformed into Faerûn's servants.

These pure-blooded Naga are not extraordinary, but as high-ranking sea creatures, it is not difficult for them to advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7. Now, having fused with a massive amount of bronze dragon blood and the Seven Deadly Sins demon seeds, it is only a matter of time before they reach Sequence 4.

However, Rosen didn't have time to wait, so he decided to force things to grow faster.

Ten thousand Sequence 4 metal slimes are fused with ten thousand Sequence 4 armor-type extraordinary artifacts, and then the armor's attributes are inherited and worn by the Dragonblood Naga. Then, sixty thousand Sequence 5 metal slimes are fused with weapon-type extraordinary artifacts and transformed into weapons for the ten thousand Dragonblood Naga.

Each Dragonblood Naga has six arms and wields 60,000 Sequence 5 living extraordinary artifacts, so their combat power is unimaginable.

Finally, Rosen didn't forget to enhance the Dragonblood Naga's own strength. With the assistance of the Gluttonous Demon Seed, the unlimited extraordinary resources, and the super-high time acceleration, the Dragonblood Naga's growth was rapid.

In just a few short years, Rosen has cultivated 10,000 Sequence 6 Dragonblood Nagas.

Moreover, they have all been promoted to Dragon Mage, and their overall combat strength is no less than that of most Sequence 4.

If it weren't for the upcoming new round of the Dragon God Battlefield, Rosen would have loved to level up his pure-blooded Naga directly to Sequence 4.
At the summit of Dragon God Mountain grows a Dragon Blood Divine Tree of True God caliber.

Legend has it that the Dragon Blood Tree is the origin of the dragon race. The Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit that grows on the Dragon Blood Tree can make the bloodline of pure-blooded dragons stronger and can allow dragon descendants to evolve into pure-blooded dragons. The most important function of the entire Dragon God Battlefield is to provide nutrients to the Dragon Blood Tree.

However, only true dragon gods are qualified to use the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit that grows from it.

The winner of each Dragon God Battlefield is entitled to enjoy a Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit.

The Dragon Blood Tree is not very big, it looks to be only a hundred meters or so tall.

However, its roots are exceptionally developed, penetrating Dragon God Mountain and even spreading to the Dragon God Battlefield, which spans five million miles around the mountain.

More and more pure-blooded dragons arrived at the mountaintop, each dragon walking towards the Dragon Blood Tree and plucking a leaf.

Rosen also picked a leaf and examined it carefully. The leaf felt as smooth as a child's skin, and the red liquid flowing through its veins was the purest dragon blood. It was a pity that this leaf was only for looking at and not for eating.

By noon, all the pure-blooded dragons who participated in the Dragon God Battlefield had arrived.

The Dragon God Battlefield at the foot of the mountain was shrouded in blood mist. At noon, the blood mist dissipated, and all the pure-blooded dragons took out their respective dragon nests, then crushed the leaves of the Dragon Blood God Tree in their hands into powder and sent them into the dragon nests to feed their familiars and dragon descendants who were preparing to participate in the battle.

All the servants and dragonborn who ate the leaves disappeared from the dragon's nest and were randomly teleported to the Dragon God's battlefield.

In the beginning, all the servants and dragonborn fought their own battles.

Hunting dragons that are released into the Dragon God Battlefield will provide food to replenish your own energy.

Hunting other members and dragonborn allows you to absorb the remnants of the Dragonblood Tree leaves from their bodies.

If the absorbed residue coalesces into a complete leaf, the kin can become dragon descendants. Dragon descendants can make their bloodline purer. Historically, there have been many dragon descendants who participated in the Dragon God Battle and eventually evolved their bloodline into pure-blooded dragons.

Some pure-blooded dragons looked down at the Dragon God Battlefield, watching the countless followers and dragon descendants fighting madly.

Some returned to the dragon's blood and slept soundly, while others entered the dragon's nest to intensify their efforts to create dragon offspring.

Rosen wasn't worried about the Dragonblood Naga not getting good results, because the other familiars and dragonborn fought individually in the early stages. Only in the mid-to-late stages, when the blood mist rose from the outer edge of the Dragon God Battlefield and gradually shrank towards Dragon God Mountain, would they gather together and regroup into teams.

However, his Dragonblood Nagas are different; the demonic seeds within them can sense each other.

If they successfully band together, the Metal Slime's superior defense will make it easy for them to survive to the end.
