Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 292 Relics of the Pioneers and the True Face of the Old World
Chapter 291

"Sacrifice-style hunter, only a fool would fight you head-on..."

As Rosen reclaimed the divine domain, he teleported backward and disappeared into the mysterious study.

The hunter pioneer, who was activating the traps he had set to prevent Rosen from escaping, immediately used all his eye techniques and tracking skills upon seeing Rosen vanish without a trace. However, to his dismay, his prey had disappeared without a trace.

It's worth noting that he sacrificed all his pets in order to capture this junior hunter alive.

Once the shared time of the sacrificial flow expires, his pets will have died in vain.

At times like this, he can only stubbornly believe that the prey is still within the circle.

For the next half day, the surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of miles turned from mountains into a sinkhole. Everything that could be destroyed was destroyed. Rosen, who was hiding in the mysterious study, watched from beginning to end without any intention of leaving. He simply drew a portrait of this hunter pioneer.

The canvas is dimensional canvas, and the paint is God's paint.

The paper was made from ash, and the paint was made from the divine essence of the seven pets.

When he hunted down the seven Sequence 1 Ash Beings, including the Ash Colossus, he triggered the Judgment of Vengeance, but not a single loot orb was generated. He realized something was wrong then, so he deliberately preserved some of his divine essence during the final blow.

Now it has indeed come in handy; this painting will be the death knell for the hunter pioneers.

Rosen didn't rush to make a move. The hunter's arrows bombarded the area for tens of thousands of miles for a long time. It seemed like a helpless outburst, but in reality, it was still fishing. The power that could easily hunt gods, gained by sacrificing nine pets, wouldn't be exhausted so easily.

The hunter pioneer was gambling, gambling that he was hiding in the shadows and hadn't left.

If he really thought the Hunter Pioneer was in a weakened state and wanted to launch a sneak attack, what awaited him was the Hunter Pioneer's counterattack.

Rosen waited for three days, while the hunter pioneers had long since left the battlefield.

In fact, on the first day after realizing that Lawson hadn't been fooled, the Hunter Pioneers were already busy capturing new pets everywhere. Otherwise, once the power gained from sacrificing pets completely faded, it wouldn't be so easy to capture a Sequence 1 Ash Life alive again.

Due to their special condition, Hunter Pioneers are temporarily unable to contract new pets.

So the only option was to capture them alive. But to capture nine of those fearless Sequence 1 Ash Lifeforms alive, and to find suitable targets, the hunter pioneer was exhausted after two days of work. After capturing the last prey, the hunter pioneer was extremely weak.

The power boost from the sacrifice build is so terrifying that it would have become the mainstream in the Hunter class long ago if there were no cost involved.

While sacrificing a pet you've lived with for years is cruel, hunters certainly don't mind sacrificing a pet they catch casually.

The key reason this system was abandoned was the permanent damage it caused to the extraordinary source material afterward.

This damage is almost irreparable. Then someone created a bizarre scheme to hunt other hunters and use their extraordinary essence to repair their own, thus completely severing the last vestige of survival for the sacrifice strategy.

Through the portrait in his hand, Rosen can directly sense the current state of the Hunter Pioneer.

At the moment when the Hunter Pioneer was at his weakest due to the backlash, his long-awaited Dragon God's Wrath locked onto the Hunter Pioneer in the painting and pierced his forehead with a single shot. After the bullet entered the painting, it instantly traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and struck the Hunter Pioneer's sea of ​​consciousness in the center of his forehead.

Don't underestimate this bullet; it's a judgment bullet transformed from the soul of a goblin god.

Furthermore, the spiritual painting drawn through the hand of God directly attacked the sea of ​​consciousness, and the hunter pioneer's weakened divine essence was shattered by this shot. However, at this moment, a fleeting light appeared on the hunter's body.

The hunter pioneer, who had just died, was instantly revived with full health.

Without the slightest hesitation, the hunter pioneers fled madly into the depths of the Old World.

Rosen frowned slightly and immediately drew a picture of the prophecy.

Actually, before firing that shot, he had already tried to draw a precognitive picture.

Just like the previous prophetic painting, it was impossible to depict the Hunter Pioneer himself in the painting.

This indicates that the Hunter Pioneer possesses a powerful ability to interfere with and predict events.

It's just unknown whether this force comes from external forces or from its own capabilities.

The painting was finished quickly, but it still couldn't depict the Hunter Pioneer. However, the painting depicted a world without ashes, so it was very likely a fragment of the spirit world. So, the Hunter Pioneer was fleeing towards that fragment of the spirit world.
That last judgment bullet consumed a portion of the god's divine soul.

Of all the bullets that could be used as judgment, Rosen only had the one transformed from the soul of Chinon.

This was one of his trump cards, but the Hunter Pioneer certainly didn't know how many bullets he had left. So, in the Hunter Pioneer's eyes, he possessed attack power equivalent to that of a god, posing a threat to the Hunter Pioneer equivalent to that of a god.

Therefore, the hunter pioneer's current whereabouts are at least where there is danger that could resolve the gods.

"We can't let him escape to that fragment of the spirit world."

Rosen quickly weighed the pros and cons and came to a conclusion.

Although the hunter pioneers were allowed to escape, they were able to discover a new fragment of the spirit world.

However, if the danger of that spirit world fragment exceeds our ability to resolve it, being too greedy will only lead to disaster.

Rosen aimed the portrait of the Hunter Pioneer with Dragon God's Wrath, and through the painting, he used the deathly judgment to fire all the Judgment Bullets, which were transformed from the souls of the Ash Life of Sequence 1, into the Hunter Pioneer's sea of ​​consciousness.

The battle erupted directly in the sea of ​​consciousness; the hunter pioneer's sea of ​​consciousness had no divine territory.

So they were almost unilaterally attacked and had little ability to resist. Finally, after escaping tens of thousands of miles, they collapsed on the edge of a desert.

Rosen activated the Hunter's Eye to lock onto the Hunter Pioneer, then activated the Void Eye to open a miniature wormhole.

They used a miniature wormhole to send the world's territory there, enveloping the critically wounded and dying hunter pioneer and bringing him back to their side.

Through the canvas of the mind reflecting the mind, through mind reading reading consciousness, through blood and brain reading memories, using all sorts of methods, they finally managed to completely excavate all the memories of the Hunter Pioneer.

This hunter pioneer had no name, and he himself did not know his own name.

His memories are divided into two parts: the main part consists of his memories after becoming an ashes and his memories after regaining consciousness.

He didn't know how he became an Ash Being, only that after becoming an Ash Being, he wandered the Old World.

Until one day, he accidentally ate a fragment of a god.

That was a fragment of the divine essence of the Wise Dragon God. With the power of this fragment, the Hunter Pioneer gradually regained his wisdom, but he did not regain his past memories. He began to search for fragments of the Wise Dragon God's divine essence everywhere on the outskirts of the Old Continent, and after ten thousand years, he actually found a few.

Then, as his wisdom gradually returned, he even began to recall some fragmented memories from the past.

This time, the Hunter Pioneers targeted him not because he had hunted many Pioneer Explorers, nor because he had hunted a large number of Ash Lifeforms, but because he possessed a fragment of the Wisdom Dragon God's divine spark, which is why the Hunter Pioneers had their eyes on him.

The Hunter Pioneers have regained their intelligence for over ten thousand years, and they know far too much in those ten thousand years.

He even deduced that he was a pioneer of the Hunter sequence by capturing alien demigods and combining the recovered memory fragments.

Over the past ten thousand years, the hunter pioneers have not failed to try to find other intelligent life forms, but only a few intelligent life forms exist in the fragments of the spirit world. These intelligent life forms dare not leave the fragments of the spirit world, because they will lose their intelligence if they do.

Because they were able to retain their intelligence in the Old World, the Hunter Pioneers were frequently attacked by spirit beings.

Gradually, the lone hunter pioneer became increasingly distrustful of all life.

The Hunter Pioneer also studied the human-faced snake-headed monster, also known as the Actor Sequence Pioneer. He discovered that the Actor Sequence Pioneer appeared to be intelligent, but in reality, it did not possess any intelligence at all. The intelligence it displayed actually originated from the human superhuman head attached to its neck.

Therefore, it is more accurate to describe it as bidirectional assimilation rather than one-sided parasitic control.

However, after assimilation, the new life forms and their personalities and self-awareness have undergone tremendous changes.

Having gained a general understanding of the hunter pioneer's life, Rosen began to examine the memory fragments in detail.

Through these discoveries, Rosen found that these sequence precursors did not become precursors voluntarily, but were all produced from various laboratories under the control of the true god. He also discovered that the outermost edge of the Old World only had human sequence precursors, while the inner ring of the Old World contained sequence precursors of almost every race.

Clearly, it wasn't just the human gods; gods of all races were conducting various experiments to deduce the potion recipes for different sequences.

This is the second dark chapter in the World Government's history that Rosen discovered, following Visca's alchemy lab.

To be precise, it should be the dark history of almost all the true gods in the main world.

It's not hard to imagine how cold-blooded the true gods of each race are. But on second thought, it's actually quite normal.

True gods have never died of old age; they have near-infinite lifespans. Many true gods have lived through more than one civilization era, personally creating and destroying civilizations. Over such a long period of time, they probably no longer care about the life or death of any life other than themselves.

The true god of the world government never established human civilization for the sake of humanity.

The order and prosperity that lasted for 20,000 years were simply because it was of sufficient benefit to the true God.

Aside from deities, who might earn the favor of the true god, anyone below the deity is likely nothing more than an ant in the true god's eyes.

Since everyone is going to die sooner or later, who cares how they die or how horribly they die!
It was only at this moment that Rosen truly understood how to deal with the true God.

Only self-interest matters; everything else, including morality and sentiment, is a joke to the true God.

Rosen stripped the Hunter Pioneer of all his valuables before finally giving him a quick death.

Without even using the Judgment of Vengeance, I was so lucky that I generated a loot orb.

There were a total of five orbs of light. When crushed, they were found to contain large fragments of the divine essence of the Wise Dragon God, the extraordinary source material of the Hunter Pioneer, a large amount of divine crystals, a Hunter Skill Crystal, and finally, a miraculous treasure.

Rosen picked up the miraculous artifact, which appeared to be a beast-taming whip.

【Beast Taming Whip: A Miracle Treasure】

[Level: Sequence 1]

[Miracle Attribute: Can forcibly increase the loyalty of tamed prey by whipping them]

[Miracle Traits: Taming Space, Taming, Wild Frenzy, Unique in the World, Eternal]

For hunters, this is an extremely useful extraordinary artifact.

The Miracle attribute can tame extraordinary life forms, the Beast Taming Space can store pets, taming can accelerate the growth of pets, and finally the unique Miracle trait, Wild Frenzy, allows pets to burn their life force to instantly dispel all negative forces and unleash several times their combat power.

Rosen was naturally reluctant to use it on his own pet, but since he had captured a pet temporarily, he figured he might as well use it.

After refining it, Rosen looked at the Beast Taming Space, where there were still nine Sequence 1 Ash Lifeforms.

It seems that this beast-taming whip is a miracle treasure born from the fusion of most of the extraordinary power of the hunter pioneer, combined with the extraordinary artifact of the whip in his hand, and a skill like the Beast Taming Space, which finally triggered the conditions for the birth of a miracle.

Rosen originally intended to keep it for himself, but then he thought better of it and sent it to Farah via data transmission.

Farah is currently stationed in the Glorious Kingdom, but the Glorious Kingdom does not have a sufficiently strong foundation.

At least the Glorious Kingdom lacks extraordinary artifacts that protect the nation.

Now that Farah has this Beast Taming Whip, even if a divine attack occurs on the Glorious Kingdom, Farah can hold out until he returns to the Glorious Kingdom thanks to the nine Sequence 1 Ash Life within the Beast Taming Whip.

Rosen picked up the Hunter Crystal and his eyes lit up when he saw the skill.

Creating your own skills is certainly good, but that doesn't mean that existing skills are inferior to creating them.

The skill before us is a self-created skill that the Hunter Pioneer spent ten thousand years perfecting.

He immediately collected it, preparing to integrate it into the extraordinary source material when he reached Sequence 2.

Rosen then picked up the large piece of the Wisdom Dragon God's divine core, and then took out his own fragment of divine core. After combining the two, he found that the divine core fragments he had were already more than one-third of the complete divine core.

Judging from the situation, the Wise Dragon God actually perished on the Old Continent; he had previously thought he had perished on the Dragon God Continent.

That makes sense. If he had perished on the Dragon God Continent, the Holy Light Dragon God would have had even more fragments of divine essence. It would be impossible for him to exchange even one of those fragments for him. Only when the fragments were too few and not valuable enough would the Holy Light Dragon God be willing to exchange them for the method of making the Dragon Binding Rope.

If we continue searching in the Old World, we might find even more fragments.

However, considering that the Hunter Pioneer only managed to harvest a third of his harvest over ten thousand years, he didn't want to waste tens of thousands of years here.

Furthermore, if the Holy Light Dragon God could obtain a fragment, and if it was also obtained in the Old Continent, then other gods and true gods could certainly obtain it as well. Perhaps the Hunter Pioneer could no longer find any new fragments on the outskirts of the Old Continent, which is why he set his sights on the fragment in his possession.

Rosen continued to examine the extraordinary artifacts on the Hunter Pioneers, discovering that their value was actually not very high.

Because the Hunter Pioneer cannot craft extraordinary artifacts, he can only rely on his Hunting Authority to hunt monsters for loot, or steal equipment from hunters who have ventured into the Old World. In addition, due to repeated encounters with powerful enemies that damaged his equipment, he has almost no intact, high-quality extraordinary artifacts on hand.

Although the extraordinary artifacts themselves are not particularly remarkable, the extraordinary resources stored within the storage equipment are enormous.

After all, it was the accumulation of ten thousand years. Even though his own level was stuck at Sequence 1 and he didn't need many extraordinary resources, the Hunter Pioneer still managed to collect a massive amount of high-level extraordinary resources. This wealth was no less than the entire fortune of a god.

Finally, Rosen picked up a Sequence 0 artifact and a Sequence 6 artifact.

The extraordinary artifacts of Sequence 0 originated from the gods. The hunter pioneer once hunted down a Sequence 0 fragment of the spirit world using the sacrificial method, originally intending to use it to break through to Sequence 0. After failing, this extraordinary artifact was left behind.

The Sequence 0 Dwarf King's Warhammer is a miraculous artifact that greatly increases the chance of forging extraordinary artifacts.

Falling into the hands of the Hunter Pioneers is like casting pearls before swine; in the hands of the World Government, its value far surpasses that of ordinary Sequence 0 Miracle Treasures.

Rosen is not yet able to refine the warhammer, otherwise he could have given it to Amy.

Amy, the mechanical fantasy elf, is a mechanic. Although she is not a perfect match for blacksmithing, she can still make up about 60-70% of her value. Once she reaches Sequence 2, she can be forcibly refined and then given to Amy to use.

Rosen looked at the final Sequence 6 Miracle Treasure, and his eyes lit up instantly, even though he hadn't paid much attention to it before.

Ash Crest: Miracle Treasure

[Level: Sequence 6]

[Miracle Attribute: The Ash Emblem can be perfectly concealed under the protection of the ashes of the apocalypse]

[Miracle Traits: Eye of Ash, Unique in Heaven and Earth, Eternal]

This is a miraculous artifact born from the ashes, and it is believed that the Hunter Pioneer used it to evade the prophecy of the Prophecy Painting.

Its unique miracle ability, Eye of Ash, allows it to see without being affected by ash.

Having this Ashes article is like having a full view of the fog of war in the Old World.

Whether searching for fragments of the spirit world or seeking resources and treasures while avoiding danger, having the Ash Emblem allows you to thrive in the Old World. Don't underestimate this item just because it's only Sequence 6; releasing it is enough to cause the true gods of various races to fight to the death.

"Let me see what's really going on in the Old World. The Hunter Pioneer's memories are only limited to the outer reaches of the Old World?"

Rosen released the divine projection of the Hunter God's Eye, which kept rising into the air in an attempt to look down on the Old Continent from above.

Several hours later, Rosen activated the Eye of Ash and witnessed a horrifying scene.

The entire Old World has a long and narrow shape, and the Old Camp is located in a corner at the very edge of the land.

The third of the Old World, near the Old Camp, is littered with countless ruins and remnants left by ashes of life and civilization.

Then, in the middle third of the Old World, lay a gigantic corpse that almost spanned the entire Old World.

The corpse was bound to the ground by countless chains of ash.

In the deepest third of the Old World, a vast number of civilizations and life forms lived.

The ashes of the Old World were indeed a seal, used to seal this corpse.

Given the enormous cost involved, this corpse is very likely the corpse of a great true god.

Only a corpse that is not stiff enough to make the World Government abandon the Old World to seal it away.

However, where did those civilized nations and the life forms living in the deepest part of the Old World come from? Did the World Government know that civilizations were born there, or were those civilizations related to the corpse of the Great God?
