Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 322 Original Drawing Sealing Technique and the Vanished Cartoonist
Chapter 321

Rosen partially merged the Ancient God Realm and the God Domain Territory, and then merged the God Domain Territory and the Time-Space God Domain a second time.

After the World Tree successfully descended upon the God Realm of Time and Space, countless tree roots began to quietly infiltrate and subtly take control of the laws of time and space.

However, now is not the time to take action; doing so now would easily lead to trouble.

Rosen sent his clone away via data transmission and returned the Spirit Realm Key to the True God of Star Coins through the Spirit Realm Messenger.

Then travel to the nearest empire and take the teleporter back to the Glorious Kingdom.

With an alibi, suspicion can't be placed on him.

Several months later, the roots of the World Tree had spread throughout the entire Divine Realm of Time and Space.

The gatekeeper, who had been fishing at the bottom of the Time Tower, quietly stood up and shut down the Time Tower.

Then it vanished silently, leaving behind some special spiritual fluctuations in the place.

This is the spiritual fluctuation of people from the spirit world, so it is only natural that the gatekeeper is the one who truly plots to seize the divine realm of time and space.

No matter how hard they searched afterwards, they could not find the gatekeeper who was already dead.

As long as Rosen doesn't publicly use time-space fishing, he doesn't need to worry about anyone linking him to the gatekeeper.

Deep within the Divine Realm of Time and Space, the World Tree, with the aid of the Time and Space Hourglass, unfolded its World Domain and began to merge with the Divine Realm of Time and Space. Boya's Time and Space Gate, which had already been partially embedded in the Divine Realm of Time and Space, was now also enveloped within the World Domain.

Although Boya's portal to time and space is a divine artifact, Boya himself is not in the God Realm of Time and Space.

Even if they had to rush over, it would take at least a few minutes.

At this very moment, the World Tree, together with the Mother Tree of Life, the Imaginary Dragon, Eugene, and Sonia, has joined forces to suppress Boya's portal to spacetime. Meanwhile, Rosen, located in the Mysterious Study, is suppressing Boya's portal to spacetime through the Royal Treasury via the Window of the World.

With the miraculous ability of Royal Plunder, it can quickly erase the divine power that Boya has integrated into the extraordinary artifact.

At this moment, the Yinglong clone that remained in the magnificent palace changed the spatial anchor point of the mysterious study to summon the main body.

No matter how hard Boya searched, he could only find the slightest clues left by the gatekeeper.

In the mysterious study, Rosen found five cards in his hand.

Each card features a lifelike deity.

These are all real deities from the Divine Realm of Time and Space, which he sealed within the cards using the Original Artwork Sealing Technique.

[Original Artwork Sealing Technique: Law Skill]

[Attribute: Capable of instantly collapsing the world's domain, sealing everything within the painting]

This is not a miracle skill, but the laws of magic are generally considered to be in no way inferior to miracle skills.

The core of the Original Artwork Sealing Technique lies in the laws of painting and the laws of the world. By combining it with the skills of dimensional art and dimensional canvas, one can directly seal all things into a painting.

This is absolutely the strongest painter's sealing skill, because no other painter can master the laws of painting and the laws of the world.

All of Rosen's skills in Sequence 2 are now fully upgraded; all he needs to do now is upgrade the superstructure.

However, this is very difficult to achieve because the supernatural architecture of Sequence 3 is already the limit of human capability, and the man-made supernatural architecture of Sequence 2 is hard to come by even once every few hundred years. Even demigod architects can only achieve victory through quantity.

Moreover, even for a Sequence 3 extraordinary building, commissioning its enhancement is not an easy task.

Because architects with the ability to enhance their skills are in high demand, there's already an endless queue for enhancement qualifications.

While the Void Gallery is difficult to enhance in the short term, there are already ideas for enhancing the Void Album.

Rosen plans to replace all the canvases in the Void Book with Dimensional Canvases, and then integrate skills such as Dimensional Canvases into the Void Book, thereby causing a qualitative change in the Void Book. If all goes well, he may even be able to upgrade the Void Book to Sequence 1 in one step.

However, he is not good at creating extraordinary artifacts, so it would be best to find an art designer to assist him.

One of the people cursed by Rosen was an art designer. After making open contact through the Spirit World's Deep Web, Joshua Scott quickly arrived in the Glorious City to work together to upgrade the Void Album as Rosen requested.

Five years later, Joshua left with a generous reward.

Lawson's Void Album has been successfully upgraded and enhanced to Sequence 1 over the past five years.

【The Void Album: Extraordinary Objects】

[Level: Sequence 1]

[Attribute: The Void Album can hold all of the artist's spiritual paintings and allows all spiritual paintings to be reused]

[Divine Authority Characteristics: Dimensional Canvas, Original Artwork Seal, Time Script]

The brand-new Void Artbook incorporates the skills from three painter sequences.

The Void Book can enhance the effects of Dimensional Paper and Original Artwork Seal, but these two are not the core of the Void Book.

Rosen integrated the Gatekeeper's Sequence 0 Playwright Godhood, along with the Playwright's Miracle Skill Time Script, into the Void Album. Then, by controlling Time Script through the Playwright Godhood and combining it with the Miracle Skill Fate Frame, he successfully mastered the Miracle Skill Time Script across sequences.

[Time Scenario: Miracle Skill]

[Miracle Attribute: Automatically fills in missing parts of the past and future in the script]

[Miracle Traits: Picture Script, Unique in Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Immortal]

A playwright's script is usually composed of words, and in fact, playwrights and novelists have many similarities.

However, the Time Script is different; it can freely transform the script content between text and images using its miracle properties.

In addition, the Time Script also possesses the ability to foresee the past and future.

Simply write a person's current experience into a timeline script, and it will automatically complete past and future experiences. It can also turn text into pictures through a picture script, which is a powerful predictive skill that is in no way inferior to the predictive painting.

Rosen integrated this skill, along with his playwright divinity, into the Void Album, thus granting his paintings the ability to automatically complete the past and future.

Then, through time-based storytelling, a single painting can be transformed into a comic strip with a past and a future.
If one uses the Void Album to draw a precognitive picture at this time, the combination of the two skills can even multiply the precognitive ability.

Finally, through the time-based script, Rosen can also reset the spirit realm paintings he creates.

Painters can depict spiritual realms, but these realms differ somewhat from those naturally occurring ones.

Naturally formed spirit realms can be easily reset, but spirit realms painted by artists cannot be reset by conventional means. Only by relinquishing control of the spirit realm and permanently integrating the painting into the spirit world can the spirit world grant the spirit realm the ability to reset it.

Alternatively, using a special painting skill like five-dimensional painting can also grant the artwork in the spirit realm the ability to reset time.

However, the more complex the spiritual realm painting, the more difficult it is to incorporate five-dimensional painting.

The time-based script reduces this difficulty to the lowest level.

Finally, Lawson can also modify the picture script generated by modifying the time script, thereby making certain modifications to the past and future. This is equivalent to stealing the playwright's core power, and in a sense, it is equivalent to recreating the sequence of cartoonists who were once eliminated.

The artist sequence once included a cartoonist branch, but the cartoonist sequence was eventually eliminated.

The reason is simple: high-level spiritual paintings often take hundreds of years to create.

It is difficult for a painter to draw a single high-sequence picture, but a cartoonist needs to draw many interconnected comic strips.

If you draw too much and don't have time to finish, you can only lower the quality.

However, lowering the quality would result in a situation where one is neither high nor low enough, so the comic artist's career ultimately stopped at Series 4 and they were eliminated.

Lawson now relies on time-based scripts to automatically fill in the gaps between past and future comic strips. This is equivalent to leveraging the power of playwrights to overcome the biggest weakness of comic book artists, while also taking into account the greatest strength of comic book artists: their terrifying ability to spread and their influence.

Traditional painters take a realistic approach to painting, but even the most realistic paintings can't compare to those of photographers.

Taking an abstract approach will only appeal to a very small segment of the general public.

Therefore, it is very difficult for artists to become famous, and even if they do, they can usually only become famous within a small group of people.

But cartoonists are different. Even if their drawings aren't great, they can create stories through their art that are easily understood by the general public. They don't need any artistic appreciation skills to understand them, so cartoonists can become famous very easily.

The value of a painting is closely related to the artist's reputation. Therefore, in this era, almost no truly famous painters take the popular route; the vast majority pursue the high-end market. If a king approves of an artist's work and lavishly praises it, his subjects will inevitably follow suit.

If the people below think a painting is not good, it must be because they themselves are not good at understanding it.

Therefore, mid- to low-level painters will spread their fame by holding art exhibitions, while high-level painters are good at relying on high-end routes to gain fame from top to bottom.

However, this only attracts a segment of the population, since not everyone enjoys flattering superiors.

Relatively speaking, only cartoonists can truly gain everyone's recognition and appreciation.

However, the difficulty in producing high-level comics directly led to the elimination of the once promising comic artist ranks.

Looking at the brand-new Void Book in his hand, Rosen's intuition told him that he had not yet unearthed the full value of the Void Book.

So he decided to go out for a walk, to explore the capital city and perhaps make some paintings.

As Rosen walked, he arrived at the Hunter's Guild and saw an old hunter with a limp sitting at the entrance.

No injuries at the level of rules or authority were found. This old hunter of Sequence 7 should have many ways to heal his limp, unless he himself doesn't want to be treated. Judging from his reluctance to live, there must be a story behind him.

Rosen opened the Void Sketchbook and quickly sketched the scenes and people he saw.

The timeline is activated, and paintings begin to generate on the void album. Some timelines advance forward, some extend backward, and the forward part is completed first, starting directly from the old hunter's mother giving birth to him.

The old hunter's parents were among the first immigrants when the Glorious Kingdom was established.

The policies were very favorable at that time, so the old hunter was able to awaken his spirituality smoothly with the support of the kingdom's policies.

Then he switched to being a hunter and smoothly found several like-minded companions.

However, during one adventure, the old hunter made a fatal mistake that resulted in the death of everyone except him. He was only saved by other superhumans who happened to be passing by, but although he was alive, his heart was dead.

Rosen continued flipping through the pages; the old hunter wouldn't live more than a few months.

Because they completely lose their will to live, even the spirituality of extraordinary beings will gradually wither. It is already quite good if they can survive for several decades. The old hunter is barely clinging to life only because he is alive so that he can take care of his companions' families.

"You're lucky..."

Rosen began to cut back on the comic book that had completed the timeline.

Then it was reassembled into a comic with the old hunter's perspective as the protagonist, focusing on exciting adventures and sincere friendship between companions. Finally, the comic was separated and sent to the Ancient God Realm to be printed into millions of copies by a printing factory.

Spiritual paintings printed by ordinary printing plants lack spirituality and cannot help the painter gain fame.

But comics are different. Even without spirituality, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes, allowing artists to amass great fame.

Rosen walked up to the old hunter and handed him the spatial ring containing millions of comic books.

"If you distribute these comics to people you like, maybe your friend can be brought back to life."

As Rosen spoke, he slightly removed the concealment of his own presence.

The old hunter, who had been wondering how a spatial ring had suddenly appeared in his hand, finally recognized the person standing in front of him as the legendary king of the Glorious Kingdom after Rosen stopped hiding. No one in the Glorious Royal City had not seen the king's statue.

The excited old hunter wanted to express his gratitude, but found that Rosen had already left.

The old hunter took out the original comic book and discovered that it was actually a series of comics composed of many spiritual drawings.

The comic basically depicts the most important life experiences of his life so far, but there is a slight difference. In the disaster that caused him to lose all his companions, not only was he rescued, but all his companions were also rescued, although they all lost a part of their memories.

Only at the end of the comic, after he had gathered all his companions, did he successfully help them regain their lost memories.

The old hunter knew something about the painter and was well aware that the painter possessed the ability to resurrect ancient lives by creating spiritual paintings.

So the old hunter quickly realized that this comic book might be the key to reviving his companions.

The old hunter began frantically searching for ordinary people who liked comic book stories, eventually pinpointing his target to children. He traveled to several large cities in the surrounding area to deliver all the printed comics, and the comics in his hands also became increasingly powerful.

Finally, following the ending of the comic, the old hunter arrived at a small town far from the glorious royal city.

He had been to this town before, and there was absolutely no one there who was with him.

But this time, when the old hunter came back, he saw his companions still alive. Under his guidance, all of them regained their lost memories. Although everything had changed and they could not go back to the past, as long as they were alive, there was endless hope.

At this moment, Rosen also saw the old hunter's fate through the Void Book.

What he gave the old hunter wasn't the original comic book, but a high-quality copy printed by a universal printer.

However, it was enough to alter the past and resurrect the dead. The spread of this comic also brought him a certain amount of fame. The key point is that he put in very little effort throughout the process, and the fame he gained was extremely profitable.

This was a thousand times more effective at gaining him fame than the exquisite prints he had previously given away to universal printers.

Rosen didn't even need to lift a finger; the Glorious Kingdom had already begun searching the world for interesting stories.

All Rosen needs to do is bring back a photograph and draw a picture, and he can automatically generate a comic book based on real-life experiences. Meanwhile, the printing plants that Glorious Kingdom has opened in various countries have started giving away all kinds of comics for free, regardless of cost.

Soon, the attributes of the Glory Blood Seal changed due to the huge increase in reputation.

Originally, the Blood Seal of Glory could only enhance portrait paintings, but now it can enhance all spiritual paintings.

The Glory Authority originally could increase enhancement by 510-961%, but now it is fixed at 999.99...

While the upper limit may seem to have increased by less than 40%, the Glory Authority itself becomes increasingly difficult to improve as time goes on.

And 999.99% means infinitely close to 1000%.

If one can cross the final step, the authority of glory can be sublimated into the law of glory.

If Rosen reaches the pinnacle of godhood now, he has a high probability of becoming a true god by leveraging the power of glory.

With the Void Album fully enhanced, he began to focus on enhancing the Void Gallery.

Rosen couldn't find a suitable architect to take over, and he was even more reluctant to use the Soul Gem to enhance it, so he ultimately chose to completely merge his Nen abilities with the Void Gallery. Although the finished product was not as good as the orthodox Sequence 2 extraordinary buildings, it was at least much better than the current Void Gallery.

The fusion process went smoothly. His Nen ability itself contained a trace of underlying fusion rules, enabling him to fuse various laws and authorities.

Therefore, through his Nen ability, Rosen integrated the authority over time and space and the authority over dreams into the Void Gallery.

Then, the Void Gallery was given the ability to create dream projections in dreams, and the ability to teleport between different dream projections and the Void Gallery itself. This not only allows it to conceal data transmission, but also to project dream projections into the enemy's sea of ​​consciousness to enhance its offensive capabilities.

Rosen gradually maxed out the proficiency of the remaining skills, and the value of these skills was becoming increasingly diminished.

All the skills he has mastered must be upgraded to special skills when he advances to Sequence 1.

A stroke of genius, a canvas of the mind, a blood mark of glory, the power of Nen, and the shackles of nightmares.

Unbeknownst to him, aside from acting skills, he only had these five sequence skills left at skill level.

He only needs to prepare the enhancement materials for five skills to advance to Sequence 1 in the most perfect form.

The most easily enhanced skill is the "stroke of genius," which can be perfectly enhanced by simply taking a section of the heartwood from the ancient tree within the fruit's internal sequence in the painting world.

The Mind Canvas isn't difficult to create. Over the years, the Mind Canvas has copied countless paintings created by different artists, and it has long met the requirements for enhancement. However, he is forcibly suppressing it in order to lay the most solid foundation.

The same goes for the Blood Seal of Glory; the prestige it gathers is the best enhancement material.

Nightmare Shackles was not difficult either; he planned to use the Imaginary Dragon as a strengthening material for Nightmare Shackles.

He only possesses Nen ability, which originates from the extraordinary bloodline of primitive humans. Its strength depends on the source of life. After mastering the laws of life, his Nen ability has received tremendous benefits. The laws of life are the best enhancer for strengthening Nen ability.

The problem is that his life laws belong to the previous ancient god era, and the current ancient god era does not recognize the life laws within the life world fruit.

Moreover, once the Mother Tree of Life returns to the ranks of the true gods, the ultimate ownership of the laws of life will certainly belong to the Mother Tree of Life.

If Rosen were to seize the Law of Life, the Mother Tree of Life would essentially be rendered useless.

So all these years he has been searching for materials that are more suitable for enhancing Nen abilities.
