Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 275 Miracle Sequence and Promotion Sequence 3: Painter Domination
Chapter 274

Beneath the World Tree, Rosen carefully sensed its changes.

The World Tree branch he had harvested earlier originated from a grown World Tree, and contained within it a trace of the laws of the world. For him, a sapling of the World Tree, it was equivalent to the key to mastering the laws of space in the future.

【Ancient God Realm: Primal Origin Realm】

[Level: Sequence 1]

[World Architecture: Sequence 1 World Tree]

[Area: A radius of 15 million li]

[Race: 30 billion humans, 1,500 alien civilizations, dark creatures, magical beasts, rare beasts...]

[First Sequence: Miracle Sequence]

[Authority: World Rules (16-21% Control)]

"It is expected that the control rate will increase to 21% in the next few years at most."

Rosen frowned as he sensed the progress of the world's rules' growth.
During the period when the world's rules are developing, the entire Ancient God Realm and the Spirit Realm hanging on the World Tree will benefit greatly from it.

But in addition to this good news, there is also bad news.

That is mastering the first sequence of miracles, which he must accomplish within these few years.

The origin of any extraordinary sequence, such as the first hunter to change jobs in the hunter sequence, or the first fisherman to change jobs, is called the first sequence. The first hunter and the first fisherman in the world will inevitably obtain powerful innate skills that subsequent hunters and fishermen do not possess.

The Miracle Sequence originates from the World Tree Seedling, a special sequence born from the World Tree Seedling transforming into a Miracle Plant.

Each level of the Miracle Sequence allows one to completely refine a corresponding level of Miracle and fully integrate it into their own spirituality.

Then it grants this miracle even greater power, as well as the potential to grow along with the sequence level.

To master the Miracle Sequence, the starting requirement is to have a 10% grasp of the World Tree's World Rules.

Then, for every 10% increase in control over the world's rules, the sequence level of the miracle sequence will increase by one level.

When Rosen's control level reached 10%, he was already able to master Sequence 9 of the Miracle Sequence.

However, he ultimately failed to master it because he had not found a Sequence 9 miracle artifact that satisfied him at that time.

However, he must master it as soon as possible, because once his control over the world's rules reaches 20%, it's equivalent to him giving up the opportunity to fuse a Sequence 9 Miracle Treasure. Therefore, he only has a few years left.

The Sequence 9 Miracle Treasures, Rosen currently possesses the Ancient Sacred Bell and the Knight's Reins.

He had long wanted to fuse with the Ancient Sacred Bell and then master the Ancient Sacred Sound, turning it into his own power, instead of relying on the Ancient Sacred Bell as an external force to exert his abilities. However, the Ancient Sacred Bell recorded a special conversation, and he was worried that something unexpected might happen during the fusion process.

The Fusion Knight's Reins will almost certainly be obtained, but the Knight's Reins are ultimately inferior to the Ancient Sacred Bell.

After much deliberation, Rosen finally decided to fuse with the Ancient Sacred Bell.

If something unexpected happens, the worst outcome would be simply losing the recording made by the ancient sacred bell.

Rosen took out the ancient sacred bell and began to activate the miracle sequence originating from the World Tree seedling.

Only after truly mastering the Miracle Sequence did he discover its special characteristics.

Normal extraordinary sequences involve condensing extraordinary source matter and then relying on that extraordinary source matter to master innate and acquired skills.

The Miracle Sequence is different. This sequence does not require the creation of extraordinary source material after birth. Instead, it directly transforms the Miracle Treasure itself into extraordinary source material. Moreover, it does not have three acquired skills. Each sequence level has only one innate skill from beginning to end.

As the Ancient Sacred Bell transformed into Extraordinary Source Material, Rosen successfully completed the Miracle Sequence 9 of his job advancement.

[Ancient Sacred Bells: Miracle Sequence]

[Level: Sequence 9]

[Miracle Skill: The Ancient Sacred Bell can record all special sounds and enhance all sound-based skills]

[Miracle Trait: Ancient God's Voice]

It lost its uniqueness and eternity, but the Miracle attribute was transformed into an enhanced version of the Miracle Skill.

This is what makes the Miracle Sequence special: by fusing miracles with spirituality, it not only completely transforms the power of the Miracle Treasure into the power it controls, but also strengthens the original power of the Miracle Treasure, allowing the originally fixed power of the Miracle Treasure to grow.

His miracle sequence is now sequence 9, so the power of the Ancient Sacred Bell remains at sequence 9 with little change.

However, once his miracle sequence reaches sequence 8, the power of the Ancient Sacred Bell will also increase significantly and simultaneously reach sequence 8.

Rosen activated the ancient sacred bell, and the recorded mysterious dialogue reappeared in his ears.

However, this time, his consciousness did not collapse after hearing this conversation.

Because in the past, the ancient sacred bell was an external object, and the ancient sacred bell could record and carry that conversation, but his spirituality was not qualified to carry that conversation. Now, the ancient sacred bell and his divinity have become one and inseparable, so naturally he can easily bear this conversation.

With the automatic translation of the ancient god's voice, Rosen finally understood the content of the conversation.

The two speaking were two great true gods, and they were discussing the secrets of the world.

The main world existed for countless ages through two ancient god eras, during which countless civilizations were born and buried. Although it was extremely difficult for a great true god to be born, the total number of great true gods actually born over the long period of time was definitely not small.

Even if some great true gods have fallen, it is impossible for all great true gods to have fallen.

The secret hidden in this conversation is the whereabouts of the great gods of all ages.

Rosen sensed impending doom halfway through the recording and immediately stopped the ancient sacred bell from playing the recording.

Curiosity killed the cat, as they say; one shouldn't force their way to know secrets when they lack the ability.

Rosen unfolded a mental canvas within his sea of ​​consciousness, peeled away his memories from a previous period, and integrated them into the mental canvas to form a memory-sealing painting. He then projected this painting onto a canvas in reality, and finally sealed it layer by layer before hanging it on the wall of the mysterious study.

Only then did Rosen feel completely relaxed.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lawson has been searching for Sequence 8 miracle treasures on various online platforms.

They found quite a few clues, but none of them caught his eye.

At this point, the Ancient God True Realm's control over the world rules has already surpassed the 20% threshold.

The World Tree underwent a dramatic transformation the moment it crossed the threshold.

The size of the Ancient God Realm remained unchanged, but its strength increased tenfold. Moreover, all the spiritual realms hanging on the top of the World Tree were upgraded by one level at this moment, and all the spiritual realms experienced tremendous growth as a result.

Finally, a tiny fruit bud grew on the top of the World Tree.

These are not fake world fruits created by the transformation of spiritual realms, but fruits that have truly grown from the World Tree.

At that moment, Rosen also realized that the World Tree could grow a maximum of nine true World Fruits, and then open up nine abyss-like worlds within the fruits. Each world could elevate a rule into a law, and ultimately, the nine worlds could give birth to nine new laws.

Creating laws that don't exist out of thin air by relying on one's own power is something only a true god can do to become a great god.

Moreover, even the Great True God can only create one law, which shows how great the potential of the World Tree to create nine laws is.

The World Tree can give rise to nine laws, and these nine laws must be laws that do not exist in the main world.

In the blink of an eye, Rosen had already arrived inside the World Fruit.

The entire world was a void, except for a small, crystal tree surrounded by nine-colored divine light.

The moment Rosen saw the glass tree, the words "Ancient Tree of Laws" arose in his mind.

This small crystal tree is the prototype of the ancient tree of laws, and at the same time, it is the manifestation of intangible laws in the tangible world.

Rosen was suddenly taken aback. If the Ancient Tree of Laws was in the form of nine-colored glazed glass, then what about the Golden Ancient Tree, the Silver Ancient Tree, and the Bronze Ancient Tree? Or were the Sequence Ancient Trees controlled by the human race not actually the true Ancient Trees of Laws?

Rosen had an idea; he tried to integrate the painting rules he had mastered into the prototype of the ancient tree of laws.

As the ancient tree of laws began to grow, the laws of painting were born. The void world, as if created from nothingness, instantly transformed into a real world. The entire world revered the laws of painting, and nothing could escape them. In this world, the sky was the canvas, the earth the canvas, and all things in the world the paint, creating a magnificent, multi-dimensional painting.

Rosen came to an apple tree in the mountains, picked an apple, and in an instant the apple turned into a painting. He uprooted the apple tree, and the apple tree also immediately turned into a painting. Everything that is collected can be turned into a painting.

Rosen fell into deep thought; he was now certain that the ancient tree in the painter's sequence of Shentu City was a counterfeit.

That bronze tree was not formed by the laws of painting at all. At best, it was a container for the accelerated birth of painting laws, with the rules of painting as its core and the help of the sequence of painters. The true laws of painting were never born.

If true laws of painting existed in the main world, the world fruit from that moment would not have generated such laws.

Why is there not a single true god among the four golden sequences of humanity to date?
The key reason is probably that all branches of the four golden sequences only have rules but no laws.

At that moment, Rosen suddenly realized a terrible secret: there might be a great true god hiding behind the world government.

As far as he knew, the core of the four golden sequences was all composed of the laws of creation.

If we compare the laws of creation to a field, the four golden sequence ancient trees and the bronze sequence ancient trees of each branch profession are all crops growing on this field, and the fortune of human civilization is the fertilizer for these crops to grow vigorously.

Since it is a carefully cultivated crop, someone must harvest it after it grows and matures.

It's either the great true god reaping the harvest, or the world government's gods of various races who yearn to become the great true god reaping the harvest.

……

The Ancient Tree, a sequence of artists in the main world.

Suddenly, a core branch on the ancient tree in the artist's sequence broke off out of nowhere.

This branch represents the painter sequence. Silently, the branch disappeared and appeared in front of Rosen in the blink of an eye, transforming into countless golden lights that merged into the ancient tree of painting laws. At this moment, the source of all painter sequences also changed from the ancient tree of artist sequences to the ancient tree of painting laws.

At this moment, all the painters in the entire main world felt a change in their own extraordinary sequence.

From now on, to advance in rank, they must rely on the Ancient Tree of Painting Laws.

That's not all. From then on, the Painter sequence was no longer exclusive to humans. All intelligent life could switch to the Painter sequence, and the potion recipe for the Painter sequence was born from the ancient tree of the laws of painting at this time.

The changes at the level of the laws of the main world were noticed by all the true gods who had mastered the laws at this moment.

The first reaction is fear, because the birth of new laws most likely means the birth of a new, great, true God.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that the conditions for the birth of a great true god are not currently met in the main world.

There are only two conditions under which laws can be born if one is not a great true god: either an ancient god awakens and creates new laws, or the legendary World Tree reappears and gives birth to new laws. The awakening of an ancient god is a catastrophe, while the reappearance of the World Tree is an opportunity.

After a period of time, once it was confirmed that the ancient gods had not awakened, all the true gods began a frantic search for the World Tree.

When they could find none, all the true gods turned their attention to the painters' sequence.

Countless alien gods began to deduce the painter sequence potions suitable for their respective races through the newly created painting laws in the world. More and more alien painters were born, and then, under the control of the gods, they tried to use these new painters to trace where the ancient tree of painting laws was.
Rosen has been living in constant fear these past few days, feeling as if a true god is prophesying and predicting his whereabouts every day.

Every time a painter advances to a higher level and communicates with the Ancient Tree of Painting Laws, the will of the True God attempts to lock onto the Ancient Tree of Painting Laws. This is only possible because the World Tree has already grasped a trace of the World Laws, or because of the cover provided by the Mysterious Study.

Over the past few days, the World Tree may have already been discovered by those true gods.

Fortunately, the most difficult moment has passed without incident, and the number of true believers who are still persevering has been decreasing over the past two days.

Although the laws of painting will be ubiquitous in the main world after their birth, they are still new laws. They cannot grow without the help of painters. The birth of more and more painters has enabled the world that carries the laws of painting to grow considerably.

The original painting principles, like ancient saplings, have now grown into towering giants.

The treetop of the Ancient Tree of Law has countless leaves, each leaf a painting. All the spiritual paintings created by painters in the main world will generate a leaf on the Ancient Tree of Law. Through these leaves, one can arbitrarily strengthen, weaken, or destroy all spiritual paintings.

Rosen now truly understood why the true god crushed all other extraordinary beings in the same sequence.

Because mastering a law means that all extraordinary beings born from that law will be inherently suppressed by this true god. If one masters the ancient tree of laws, all extraordinary beings born from that law will be at the mercy of this god.

Rosen also realized something: even true gods could probably only grasp the laws, but not the ancient tree of laws that was the source of those laws.

Because the plant-like True God he killed did not show any trace of the Ancient Tree of Existence within his body.

Therefore, truly mastering the ancient tree of laws is probably something only a great true god could do.

Therefore, by using the ancient tree of painting principles, he probably grasped a power that only a great true god could possess.

Rosen sat under the tree, trying to advance his painter rank without the aid of potions.

Other painters now need potions to advance to the extraordinary sequence because they need to use potions to bear the power of the ancient tree of painting laws. This certainly increases the difficulty of advancing to the painter sequence, but it also enhances the power mastered by the painter sequence.

He directly controls the ancient tree of painting principles, so he may be the only painter who doesn't need potions to advance in rank.

The ancient tree of the painting law silently shed two leaves. These were not leaves that appeared when those spiritual paintings were created, but leaves that grew naturally from the ancient tree of the painting law. These leaves are the best magic potion.

As the leaves merged into the painter's extraordinary essence, his painter sequence began to advance in sync.

Rosen sensed changes in the extraordinary source material, the most significant of which was the spiritual attachment.

[Divine Infusion: Law Skill]

[Attribute: Ability to freely imbue the spirituality of all things with divine power]

[Law Trait: Law Dominator - All skills in the Painter sequence are enhanced tenfold]

This is a law skill that Rosen has never heard of before, possessing law characteristics that are terrifyingly powerful.

Rosen flipped through the Void Sketchbook and casually drew a spiritual painting. Sure enough, the painting's power increased tenfold.

It seems that if he wants to sell his paintings in the future, he will have to reduce the quality of his paintings by tenfold when creating them.

Otherwise, selling it directly would be like trying to hide something obvious.

Rosen continued to sense the changes in the extraordinary source essence, and his Sequence 3 innate skill had already been born.

[Immortal Artwork: Your spiritual artwork will be immortalized through the ancient trees of the laws of painting]

Rosen drew several pictures before he finally understood this innate skill.

All spiritual paintings will gradually lose their spiritual essence. Even if a spiritual painting of sequence 0 can survive for tens of thousands of years, after hundreds of thousands or millions of years, no matter how carefully it is preserved, it will eventually decay and be destroyed.

However, with the innate skill of creating immortal paintings, the spiritual essence in his paintings will not be lost.

Instead, it will form its own cycle within the painting, remaining eternally immortal unless destroyed by external forces.

This is the apparent function of immortal paintings; on the surface, it seems to transform spiritual paintings with an expiration date into paintings without an expiration date.

However, immortal paintings actually possess another hidden effect.

That is, all the skills in the painter sequence can be superimposed on immortal paintings to produce a qualitative change.

Take the human model as an example. He paints a portrait of a demigod and then activates the human model. Originally, at most, the demigod could be imprisoned by the human model for a short time. However, combined with the immortal painting, he can imprison the demigod forever.

Unless interrupted by an external force, the confinement effect of the human model transforms from a finite time to an eternal one.

With the added power of the divine possession, Rosen can now make Sequence 1 characters stand in front of him until they die.

"Looks like I'll have to be more careful from now on."

Rosen couldn't help but laugh happily.

Other demigods complain that they are not strong enough, but he is now worried that his painter sequence is too strong.

If one is not careful, an overly powerful sequence of painters can arouse suspicion.

If people knew that the World Tree was in his hands, it would inevitably trigger a Ragnarok, a cataclysmic event surrounding the World Tree. He would be the first to be torn apart by the gods. Therefore, those who have witnessed the true power of his Painter Sequence must not be allowed to live.
