Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 321 Hell's Soul-Snatching Diagram and the Divine Realm of Time and Space
Chapter 320

With three days remaining until the start of the Despair Abyss Spirit Realm, the Time Tower is gathering more and more demigods and gods.

The extraordinary artifact Boya's Time Gate, which seals the Spirit Realm of Despair, will draw time power from the Spirit Realm during its opening period and inject it into the Time Tower, causing the time acceleration rate inside to increase dramatically. At this time, many people will come to the Time Tower to cultivate.

Only deities of Sequence 0 can truly enter the Abyss of Despair.

Strictly speaking, Rosen wasn't even qualified to enter, which is why he gained his qualification through the God of Pentacles.

The God of Pentacles wasn't worried about him dying inside, because when Boya's space-time portal opened, the key could not only go in but also teleport people out. As long as he didn't deliberately stay behind to die, the chances of him dying in the Abyss of Despair were extremely slim.

The time for the opening of the Spirit Realm is approaching, and Boya's portal to spacetime has opened on its own.

The Time Tower began to absorb the spiritual energy of time sent out from within the gate, and the deities holding the keys to the Spirit Realm left the Time Tower one after another.

Throughout the entire process, the gatekeeper was fishing and ignored everyone.

Unless there is a problem with Boya's time portal, it is not within the scope of the gatekeeper's duties.

Rosen followed the cloud-like path into Boya's spacetime portal and was immediately teleported to a weightless, directionless void. The surroundings were foggy and he couldn't see anything. His body was frozen in mid-air, as if time had stopped.

While his body was imprisoned by time, his thoughts and consciousness were also accelerated by time a thousandfold.

Rosen didn't even need to activate the timeline; this mental acceleration was enough for him to create his own skill within a year.

Less than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Rosen has already created the last skill of the Painter Sequence 2.

There are still eleven months until the next opening of the Spirit Realm. In such a long time, his mind and consciousness will have to go through more than nine hundred years. If he does nothing during such a long period of time, he will definitely go crazy. So he began to paint on the canvas of his mind.

Other gods who came in wouldn't dare to be so reckless.

Because simply accelerating thinking to learn and deduce is fine, but if you want to do something like painting on a canvas of the mind, in the abyss of despair where divine power only flows out and not in, the life essence of the body will soon be drained by the divine essence.

However, Rosen has a way to forcibly replenish the divine power he has consumed.

First is the original oil lamp, which contains a huge amount of lamp oil.

Almost all the abyssal demons in the 21st level of the abyss were killed. The souls and divine essence of those hundreds of thousands of demigod abyssal demons were all sealed inside the Origin Oil Lamp. Not to mention that their thoughts and consciousness would be accelerated for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years would not be enough to exhaust the oil in the Origin Oil Lamp.

In addition, his ancient god heart contains a massive amount of life essence, so no matter how reckless he acts, he will be fine a year from now.

So Rosen plans to spend nine hundred years painting a picture on the canvas of the mind.

The Death Judgment skill in the Painter sequence has a diminishing effect as the sequence level increases.

Because a high-sequence sea of ​​consciousness will inevitably protect the divine origin without any weakness.

Since the death judgment is difficult to attack the divine essence, its effectiveness naturally diminishes over time.

However, it would be a pity to discard it directly, so Rosen prepared to create a spiritual painting specifically to enhance the judgment of death.

He planned to use the death laws of the previous ancient god era to merge with the death authority of this era, and finally draw a hellish soul-reaping picture. In this way, even if the high-sequence sea of ​​consciousness has layers of protection, the death judgment can still continue to shine brightly.

Nine hundred years of accelerated consciousness passed quickly, and Rosen's Hell Soul-Snatching Diagram was almost finished.

The painting depicts a hellish world, with a magnificent temple of death in the center.

The Grim Reaper, bearing the likeness of Rosen, sits on his throne, wielding his scythe. Within the magnificent temple, a thousand Death Hunters, each holding a scythe, prostrate themselves at the Grim Reaper's feet, offering their devout faith to the great god of death.

With the final stroke of the brush, the Grim Reaper and the Death Hunter in the painting came to life.

Rosen painted Death, using his own divine essence transformed into God's paint.

The depiction of Death naturally became his divine incarnation.

The Grim Reaper's Sequence Level is Sequence 3, while all one thousand Death Hunters under his command are Sequence 1.

The Death Hunter in the painting is a Sequence 1, because the Death Hunter's extraordinary sequence is a variant of the Hunter sequence. It is a special Hunter sequence called Death Hunter, which he developed over the past nine hundred years by combining various Hunter sequences.

All death hunters do not have flesh and blood bodies; they are only materialized souls.

These death hunters can use the power of death judgment in the spiritual portrait to directly invade the enemy's sea of ​​consciousness in groups, and then pull the enemy's soul and divine essence into the Death God's Soul-Hooking Diagram, ultimately making them part of the hellish world inside the Death God's Soul-Hooking Diagram.

The more souls the Death Hunter harvests, the higher the quality of the final Hell Soul Reaper map.

As for why the Death Hunter's sequence level is as high as Sequence 1, while the Grim Reaper's sequence level is only Sequence 3, it's because the Grim Reaper controls the Grim Reaper sequence, and so far the Grim Reaper sequence has only been created up to Sequence 3.

The Death Sequence is a supernatural sequence created by Rosen.

Born from the two special extraordinary sequences of Abyss Monarch and Hell Lord, and also incorporating the sequences of Noble, Hunter and Assassin, this is not just a simple patchwork, but a genuine creation of a special golden sequence.

Mastering the Death Sequence is equivalent to controlling the life and death of all Death Hunters.

At the same time, it also controls the Death Hell inside the Hell Soul-Hooking Map, and can turn the entire Death Hell into its territory. Don't underestimate the Death God's divine avatar just because it is only Sequence 3. If any god dares to enter the Death Hell, he will be easily suppressed by the Death God.

Moreover, the moment this painting of hellish souls was completed, it became a new miraculous artwork.

[Hell's Soul-Snatching Painting: A Miracle Work]

[Level: Sequence 0]

[Miracle Attribute: The Grim Reaper who rules the hell of death, commanding death hunters to reap the souls of all beings]

[Miracle Traits: Death Sentence, Soul Harvest, Death Hell, Unique in Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Undying]

Because of the Miracles ability, all Death Hunters can cast Death Sentence and Soul Harvest.

The final and only miracle ability, Death Hell, grants Hellhound the potential to continue growing and evolving.

Rosen has added several statues of gods to all the temples in the Ancient God Realm, namely the God of History, the God of Death, and the Dragon God. From now on, the souls and spiritual essence of all evildoers in the Ancient God Realm will be dragged into the Death Hell by the Death Hunter after death.

As for the souls and spiritual origins of the virtuous, those with sufficiently devout faith have many options after death.

They can be reborn as a territory soldier or as an ordinary citizen, living one more life at most. All believers do not need to pay any price for their first reincarnation, but the conditions for the second reincarnation will increase significantly. The more times they are reincarnated, the more conditions need to be met.

Because the spiritual essence weakens considerably with each reincarnation, an ordinary person can only reincarnate once at most and cannot reincarnate a second time.

Without sufficient and devout faith, Rosen is not a philanthropist and would not help ordinary believers strengthen their spiritual origins.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the millennium is drawing to a close.

Rosen was ready to activate the key at any moment, only to be pulled out of the abyss of death by Boya's time portal.

On this day, Boya's portal to space and time opened again, and a new batch of gods began to enter the Abyss of Despair. The gods who entered last year began to prepare to leave the Abyss of Despair. However, after activating the key, Rosen did not leave the Abyss of Despair.

If data transmission weren't still working, Rosen would have already appealed to the God of Pentacles for help.

Among those who least want to see him die, there must be the true god of pentacles.

Soon Boya's portal closed, and no one knew that Rosen was still trapped in the abyss of despair.

The gatekeeper, who was supposed to be responsible for confirming the number of people, was now just a figurehead.

Rosen was also confused about the strange changes that had happened to him.

However, Rosen soon found out what was going on: a mysterious hourglass appeared in front of him.

It is entirely silvery-white, about the size of a palm, and its surface is entwined with an ouroboros. Inside the hourglass are hundreds of glittering grains of sand, like miniature deities.

The moment the hourglass approached him, it began frantically drawing time power from him. It was visibly drained of the time power stored in the Time Dragon Crystal within his body, and the hourglass continued to absorb Rosen's lifespan.

Rosen painted a hellish soul-reaping picture on the canvas of the mind, from which countless souls of abyssal demons began to appear out of thin air.

These are the souls of demigods and demons suppressed by the Origin Oil Lamp. As long as the divine origin deep within their souls is not obliterated, theoretically these abyssal demons are not actually dead. If these souls and divine origins are killed, the innate skill Time Hunter can still deprive the prey of time.

The power of time within the Time Dragon Crystal is constantly replenished and constantly drained away.

Finally, only tens of thousands of the souls of the hundreds of thousands of demigod abyssal demons remained. Only then did the mysterious hourglass stop its demand for the power of time. The entire hourglass directly merged into Rosen's sea of ​​consciousness to complete a special recognition ceremony.

[Hourglass of Time: Extraordinary Objects]

[Level: True God]

[Attribute: The Time-Space Hourglass allows travel to the Divine Realm of Time and Space, where one can control the laws of time and space.]

[Law Skills: Spacetime Control, Spacetime Exile, Spacetime Travel]

Through the hourglass of time, Rosen instantly gained control of the Abyss of Despair.

To be more precise, the Abyss of Despair should be called the Realm of Time and Space.

He also learned the true fate of that group of gods through the hourglass of time.

Back then, hundreds of gods who held the power of time joined forces to create the Time-Space Hourglass, and even merged their respective divine kingdoms into the Time-Space Divine Realm. Although they did not truly master the laws of time and create a true god of time, they did manage to master the laws of time within the Time-Space Divine Realm.

As long as they do not leave the Time and Space Divine Realm, many Time Gods can unleash power here equivalent to that of the True God of Time.

The laws of time are far more powerful than ordinary laws. If a true god does not possess powerful enough laws, entering the God Realm of Time and Space will only lead to certain death. With the power of the God Realm of Time and Space, hundreds of time gods have begun to openly and secretly fight for ownership of the God Realm of Time and Space.

If one of the time deities ultimately manages to monopolize the realm of time and space, they might very well become the true god of time.

However, no single time deity has been able to overwhelmingly defeat the other time deities.

Every god of time possesses some of the lowest-level permissions of the temporal and spatial realms.

Time deities are constantly being killed, and these dead time deities are able to reverse time and be resurrected through the Time-Space Divine Realm.

However, resurrection is not without its price; resurrection in the Divine Realm of Time and Space also consumes divine essence.

At that time, the spiritual system had not yet been fully established. The time deity at that time had a divine origin strength of about Sequence 1, and could only be resurrected a dozen times at most, and would become weaker with each resurrection.

Some gods who have been resurrected too many times have realized that continuing will inevitably lead to their death.

Moreover, after being resurrected multiple times, it is no longer possible for him to become the final victor.

Since death is inevitable, who would be willing to kill their enemy and watch someone else become a true god?

All the time deities who died one after another used their control over the Time and Space God Realm to exert certain control over the time laws of the Time and Space God Realm before their deaths, gradually creating time confinement for the body and time acceleration for the divine consciousness.

These two forces grew stronger and stronger until the few remaining time deities were no longer able to fight.

Because their bodies are also imprisoned by time, their divine consciousness is also forced to accelerate time madly. Although they can still move around with difficulty thanks to their control over the laws of time, the only way to stop the chaos in the God of Time and Space is for the last time god to completely control the laws of time.

However, the problem is that even for these last few time deities, moving within the realm of time and space is already extremely difficult.

Not to mention killing the remaining enemies, they were caught in a dilemma where no one could kill anyone else.

Even more terrifying is the accelerated passage of time in divine consciousness. Ten years is like a ten-thousand-year dark room, a hundred years is like a hundred-thousand-year dark room, and ten thousand years is like a ten-million-year dark room. Imagine such a long period of time, where one can only think but find it difficult to move one's body.

At this moment, the God Realm of Time and Space was like a hopeless prison of time.

Under the frenzied acceleration of time, the final few time deities could no longer withstand the torment and their consciousness gradually collapsed.

Then, one after another, they committed suicide. The last time god who persisted automatically gained full control of the Time and Space God Realm. At this point, the time god had a certain chance of becoming the true god of time. However, this ultimate winner also committed suicide in the end.

Because at that time, the divine consciousness of this time deity had been trapped for hundreds of millions of years.

For such a long time, his body was as immobile as if he were severely disabled, and only his mind and consciousness could think. He persisted until the very end before committing suicide, simply because of his obsession with mastering the laws of time. In the end, his obsession was fulfilled, and the final god of time chose self-destruction.

However, it was not a simple suicide; rather, it involved collecting the corpses of all the gods of time.

Then, with his own life, he created the Time-Space Hourglass, a divine artifact capable of controlling the divine realm of time and space.

The thought of being confined in a dark room for hundreds of millions of years terrifies Rosen.

He also understood why the unknown god of time committed suicide.

The first deity to discover the Divine Realm of Time and Space was trapped inside for hundreds of years before other deities discovered it. By the time the deities who had been trapped for hundreds of years emerged, their consciousness had been imprisoned in a dark room for hundreds of thousands of years.

Moreover, the physical body has been completely destroyed, leaving only the depleted divine consciousness.

Although he did not commit suicide, he fell back to Sequence 1 and developed serious mental problems.

That's why the God Realm of Time and Space is called the Abyss of Despair by the World Government, which is why Boya's Time Gate is needed to suppress it, why those who enter must carry a key, and why each stay is limited to a maximum of one year. These measures are all to protect the gods who enter the God Realm of Time and Space.
Over the years, countless gods have entered the God Realm of Time and Space.

Many possess the power over time, but none can attract the hourglass of time to appear and recognize its master.

The reason is that the condition left by the time deity who created the hourglass of time for accepting a master is a dead end.

First, one's divine origin must be exceptionally strong. Second, one must possess divine authority over time. If one can simultaneously possess divine authority over space, it will be an added bonus. Once these conditions are met, the hourglass of time will appear and then predatoryly absorb the power of time within the deity's body.

Every deity who met the conditions to appear in the hourglass of time throughout history has died here after having their power of time drained.

Rosen could be said to have forcibly fed the hourglass of time and completed the recognition of its master by relying on the time power converted from the lifespan of hundreds of thousands of demigod abyssal demons and the trace of world law he possessed.

Rosen sensed the state of the Time-Space Divine Realm through the Time-Space Hourglass, and his first feeling was heartache.

Because the original essence of the Time-Space Divine Realm has been severely depleted, it has been continuously and predatoryly absorbed by Boya's Time-Space Gate. Now, the laws of time and space within the Time-Space Divine Realm are extremely weak. Let alone suppressing true gods, it can't even suppress many deities.

No wonder the keys to this place have become increasingly rare over time.

It's certain that after the World Government discovered the Time Realm, they learned of the existence of the Time Hourglass through the deity who held the power of time and died there. However, they couldn't forcibly claim the Time Hourglass as their own, so they could only create Boya's Time Gate to plunder the origin of the Time Realm.

If a few hundred years pass, this divine realm of time and space will inevitably collapse completely.

The hourglass of time and space will eventually become the resources for the further growth of Boya's Time Gate.

Rosen now has two options: first, to let the Time-Space Realm collapse; second, to sever the connection between the Time-Space Realm and Boya's Time-Space Gate, and then use the Time-Space Hourglass to take away the remaining part. However, this would be too easy for Boya.

Boya is one of the true gods of the World Government, and the law he controls is virtual spacetime.

This is equivalent to a weakening of the laws of spacetime, and it is one of the seventeen true gods that Rosen will have to deal with sooner or later.

So he wanted to try if there was a third option. He wanted to try if he could use the power of the World Tree to forcibly merge with the Time and Space God Realm, forcibly suppress Boya's Time and Space Gate, and thus make Boya's hard work over the years go up in smoke.

Perhaps we can seize the opportunity to make the World Tree grow the Time-Space World Fruit.
