Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 330 The Dark Sun Old World and the Sun-Shooting Celestial Dynasty
Chapter 329

In the darkness far from the city, Rosen began his experiments on spiritual pollution.

Besides the angels and shadow demons he initially released, he also released many prisoners from the Void Prison, ranging from abyssal demons to humans, and began to observe the changes in these different extraordinary beings in the darkness.

Indeed, the lower the sequence level, the faster the spiritual consciousness is corrupted.

Several Sequence 9 humans with extraordinary abilities quickly began to exhibit various abnormal changes.

Rosen ordered Shadow Fiend to kill a few and spare a few. The supernatural essence of the dead superhumans began to dissolve rapidly in the darkness and eventually disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, the surviving Sequence 9 assassins began to act increasingly strangely.

Rosen listened to the strange language spoken by the assassin, a language he couldn't understand at all.

Therefore, the only option is to record it using an ancient sacred bell and then try to decipher it.

As spiritual corruption worsens, the Sequence 9 assassins become increasingly bizarre.

The last test subject broke off his own limbs, held hands with each other, and arranged them in an open space to form a pattern symbolizing the sun. In the center of the pattern was a vertical eye made of blood. The moment the pattern was completely completed, a terrifying aura suddenly came from the sky.

Rosen looked up at the sky through the Window of the World, and through the darkness, he saw a black sun.

The black sun has a vertical eye on its surface, from which endless black light is emitted.

At this moment, all the extraordinary beings whose spiritual consciousness had been corrupted suddenly vanished into thin air. Then, a black egg appeared out of thin air, constantly pulsating and absorbing all the surrounding darkness, so much so that the disappearance of darkness allowed light to descend.

Through the light, Rosen saw a golden sun in the sky.

That was the sun during the day. This sun did not disappear, but was completely covered by the black sun with its black light, which was normal sunlight. This situation only lasted for a moment, and the black egg had absorbed enough darkness to begin to crack open.

A black eyeball emerged from it, its surface covered with a dense layer of black tentacles.

This eyeball has a vertical pupil, and the moment it appears, it starts to burrow into the ground.

The Shadow Fiend, which had not yet lost control, also burrowed underground, going deep for several days, passing through the thick earth to arrive at an underground world. Unlike the surface, which was completely shrouded in darkness, this underground world was filled with endless sunlight.

My black eyes felt very uncomfortable in the sunlight, and black smoke started to rise from my whole body.

Just then, an arrow appeared out of thin air and shot towards the black eyeball.

Just as the black eyeball was about to be pierced, a terrifying spiritual fluctuation suddenly erupted from the vertical pupil. At this moment, the black eyeball seemed to become a channel, serving as a transit point for the black sun in the sky to project its black light.

The arrows shot from the void were instantly obliterated by the endless darkness.

However, a golden arrow soon pierced the darkness, and with just one arrow, it pierced through the black eyeball.

The arrow pierced through the black eyeball, bursting forth with endless sunlight that dispelled all darkness.

The moment the black eyeballs collapsed, two figures appeared out of thin air.

They are all human beings, one of whom is a deity, and the other is at least a true god.

This strange world also has extraordinary beings, but they don't live on the surface; instead, they live deep underground.

Rosen knew that Shadow Fiend had been discovered, and that a Sequence 2 Shadow Fiend could not escape the True God's lock.

So he directly manipulated the Shadow Fiend to appear, and the young man with god-like strength immediately tensed up, nocked an arrow, and aimed at the Shadow Fiend.

Another elderly man with the strength of a true god reached out to stop the young man and turned a golden ring on his finger.

The ring suddenly burst forth with endless sunlight, like the sun itself. This sunlight was compressed and enveloped by the old man, and it was visible to the naked eye that countless darkness surged within the Shadow Demon, as well as the corrupted angels and Shadow Demons of the Shadow World, being purified little by little.

"Friends of the New World, welcome to the Old World..."

The old man directly revealed the Shadow Demon's origins and spoke kindly with a smile.

"I have many questions now?"

Rosen asked tentatively through the Shadow Demon.

"I know what you're wondering, and I can tell you anything you want to know..."

The old man answered without hesitation, "But shouldn't you tell me your name?"

"Richard Phoenix..."

Rosen casually mentioned a former alias.

"You're lying; this isn't the basis for friendly communication."

The old man said unhappily.

“Wilton Wagner Reinhard Stuart Rad McKinley…”

Without hesitation, Rosen manipulated the Shadow Fiend to reveal his true name as a demon of the abyss.

The message was several thousand bytes long, making the old man on the other side, a true god, twitch his eyelids and feel a little regretful.

If I had known the name was so long, I would have preferred not to expose the fake name.

"I'll still call you Richard, you can address me as Houming..."

The old man, the true god, couldn't help but interrupt Rosen.

"Alright! Could you please tell me about the Old and New Worlds?"

Rosen said respectfully.

"Houfeng, tell him we'll talk as we walk..."

Hou Ming spoke to the young man beside him, and a golden auspicious cloud appeared beneath his feet, radiating golden light and enveloping the three of them.

The golden auspicious cloud broke through the sky and left, and Hou Feng began to tell Rosen what he knew.

This world is indeed a remnant of the main world of the previous ancient god era.

This world is called the Old World, while the world in which the second-generation Ancient God, a reincarnation of the Ancient God, manifests is called the New World.

The new world grows parasitic on the old world; the larger the new world becomes, the smaller the old world becomes.

Countless years have passed, and the old world is now roughly twice the size of the new world.

This is not to say that the New World is bad, but rather that the Old World was simply too large at its peak.

On the other hand, it's not so easy for the new world to devour the old world.

The forces in the old world are mainly composed of civilizations left over from the previous ancient god era, with a portion originating from civilizations in the new world. As long as they pass through certain special dark areas of the new world, the extraordinary beings of the new world can travel to the old world through the darkness.

So over the years, it wasn't just world governments that sent people over here.

The great true god of the new world, along with a few civilizations that could not survive the calamity, mostly risked their lives to escape to the old world.

Because the old world had no world will and no threat from ancient gods, it can be said that the old world was heading towards death, and then, for unknown reasons, it underwent a zombie transformation, which in turn created all sorts of bizarre dangers that even the great true gods could not resist.

In today's old world, the surface of the earth has almost completely fallen.

Whether it is day or night, only the great true God can barely protect a civilization so that it can survive.

The city that Rosen discovered on the surface, protected by the divine realm, had tens of thousands of people who appeared to be alive, but in reality, they were no longer human. They were merely humanoid monsters unaware that they were no longer human, surviving in the darkness.

Almost all civilizations in the new world migrated to the underground world countless years ago.

The Sun-Shooting Celestial Dynasty, where Houming and Houfeng were located, was already considered a relatively powerful civilization below the level of a Great True God in the Old World.

Powerful forces like the Sun-Shooting Celestial Dynasty guard various dark passages between the New World and the Old World.

However, this wasn't to receive guests from the New World, as the Old World lacked the power to monitor the Dark Passage at all times.

Therefore, the crisis is usually resolved by shooting down the Dark Sun Children as quickly as possible when the visitors from the new world are corrupted by the Dark Sun on the surface and become Dark Sun Children, and then the Dark Sun Children invade the underworld.

Of course, if the visitors from the New World manage to reach the Underworld alive, Hou Ming and his group wouldn't mind offering them some assistance.

Because the civilizations of the old world are also very interested in the new world, and the old world is destined to be destroyed sooner or later, the old world is always collecting information about the new world and looking for a way to travel from the old world to the new world.

After Hou Feng told Rosen about the basic information of the old world, he also began to ask Rosen about the new world.

Rosen didn't hide anything, because what he said was all basic information.

During their conversation, Rosen discovered something terrifying: Hou Feng was actually younger than him, and Hou Ming was only close to three thousand years old.

It turns out that the laws of the old world were incomplete, and even some of the underlying rules established by the ancient gods were corrupted by the Dark Sun.

Therefore, the immortal system of the old world has almost collapsed, and only the divine system can still be maintained. So the power possessed by Hou Ming and Hou Feng is mostly external force, and their divine positions are formed by relying on the civilization and fortune of the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty, which is why they were able to obtain the power of gods and true gods at such a young age.

However, just by looking at Hou Ming's aged appearance, one can tell how much of a price must be paid for such external forces.

The stronger one is, the faster one's lifespan passes.

Those who are weaker often live longer.

Imagine that a true god cannot survive beyond Sequence 4 of the transcendent, and you can roughly understand the old world's civilization's longing for the new world. However, it is known that only the lifespan of the great true god is unaffected, and only the great true god can return from the old world to the new world.

"It seems that the Old World has far surpassed the New World in its application of civilization and fortune."

Rosen remarked with emotion.

"You underestimate the strength of your side."

Hou Feng retorted directly, "It's not that you can't develop more advanced uses of civilization's fortune over there, it's just that ancient gods are sleeping there. The old and new worlds each have their own difficulties, and they haven't dared to delve into those powers that could easily stimulate the ancient gods."

"You highly recommend the New World?"

Rosen asked in surprise.

"It's not like..."

Hou Feng shook his head and casually explained, "Countless civilizations in the old and new worlds have developed, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. It is not beneficial to only see your own advantages and others' disadvantages. The key is to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses."

Rosen nodded in agreement, but he also had a different opinion.

Learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses is true, but it's easier said than done.

To develop, one must learn from others' strengths and make up for one's weaknesses. However, the shortcomings of a civilization will always exist and cannot be completely eradicated; they will only continue to grow. Since shortcomings can never disappear, the key is to focus on strengthening one's own strengths while addressing the enemy's weaknesses.

The idea of ​​post-sealing is easier to understand; it is suitable for the development of civilization during times of peace.

His idea was more practical, suitable for maximizing one's own strength and destroying enemies when surrounded by hordes of enemies.

Once the civilizations of the old world are able to enter the new world, an unprecedented war of civilizations will inevitably break out between the two sides.

The golden auspicious cloud of the Later Ming Dynasty moved extremely fast, and soon it had traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to the capital of the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty.

I thought the capital of a true god civilization would have a large population, but it only barely exceeded ten million.

Moreover, the city is almost entirely populated by ordinary people, with fewer than 10,000 people being extraordinary individuals.

The reason why there are so few extraordinary beings is probably because the number of divine positions is limited. With a limited number of divine positions, there are fewer extraordinary beings. With fewer extraordinary beings, there are fewer ordinary people they can protect. With fewer ordinary people, it is difficult for civilization to grow stronger, and then it is also difficult to increase the number of divine positions.

At the Honglu Temple in the capital city of the Sun-Shooting Heaven, Luo Sen was placed in the place where the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty received foreign guests.

Rosen had expected to meet the ruler of the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty, but from beginning to end, only Hou Feng took the initiative to contact him.

Gradually, he also gradually understood what was going on. The ruler of the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty only had the strength equivalent to Sequence 4. It wasn't that he couldn't become stronger, but that he couldn't become stronger in order to live longer.

Although the ruler of the country is only equivalent to the fourth rank, he has absolute control over all the divine positions in the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty.

Therefore, even the true god of the Later Ming Dynasty dared not disobey the ruler of the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty.

However, this outsider was different. The ruler of the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty could not control him through his divine position, so he would never meet him. If the outsider had any ill intentions, he might threaten the ruler's safety, so the ruler would never see him.

Rosen had stayed in the Sunshot City for a while and no longer wanted to stay.

Having ascertained all the publicly available information about the Dark Sun and the general basic information about the surrounding civilizations, he immediately took his leave. No one stopped him until he left; instead, he received a gift from the king.

This is a ring with a gold crystal the size of a soybean set in the face of the ring.

This is a fragment of the sun's origin, which can not only resist and purify the pollution of the dark sun, but also allow one to control a trace of the sun's laws.

Today, the underground world is shrouded in endless sunlight, thanks to fragments of the sun's origin.

The area covered by sunlight basically represents the territory of a civilization.

The underground world beyond the reach of sunlight has been occupied by the Children of the Dark Sun. Now, less than two-thirds of the underground world remains under the control of various civilizations, while the remaining third has gradually fallen.

Because the original fragments of the sun are water without a source, they will only be consumed less and less over time.

So even though it's only a small amount, the sincerity shown is already quite significant.

After leaving the Sun-Shooting Heavenly Dynasty, Rosen prepared to travel to the nearest Holy Court, the Myriad Paths Holy Court.

This is a power overseen by a great true god, possessing the only immortal ruins among the many nearby civilized nations.

This immortal realm is very special; it is equivalent to a fragmented dragon realm.

It can slow down the lifespan of the extraordinary beings in the old world to a certain extent, so many powerful beings whose lifespan is about to end have fallen into slumber. As a result, the Immortal Ruins has become a distribution center for the exchange and trade of extraordinary resources among the extraordinary beings of all the nearby civilized countries.

Having learned the general situation of the old world, Rosen no longer intended to stay there for long.

The extraordinary system here is not suitable for him, and he has no interest in provoking Dark Sun at this time.

Rosen suspects that the ancient god who was hunted by the World Tree came into contact with the Dark Sun in the universe, which led him to kill the World Tree. However, the ancient god must have paid a huge price, as evidenced by the fact that the old world did not fully integrate into the new world.

If both the old and new worlds are manifestations of the ancient gods, then it is clear that the power of the ancient gods has been divided in two.

The ancient gods no longer have the power to reclaim this part of the origin of the old world.

The World Tree and the Ancient Gods have both perished, and even Dark Sun was seriously injured; they are not beings he has the right to provoke.

Therefore, the greatest value of remaining in the old world is the ability to acquire some of its extraordinary resources.

Through the mysterious study, Rosen might become a merchant between the two worlds.

Of course, we must be extremely careful, otherwise, if we are discovered, we will surely attract the covetous eyes of the great true god.

After leaving the territory of the Sun-Shooting Celestial Dynasty, the underground world fell into endless darkness.

Divine perception cannot be separated from the body; if it is separated, it will be contaminated.

Therefore, one can only rely on pupil techniques to determine direction in the dark, and even then, the effectiveness of pupil techniques is minimal.

With no better option, Rosen could only slowly make his way forward, following the map.

The inability to move quickly is one issue, but the attacks from the Dark Sun's Sons in the darkness are another.

Rosen sensed the approaching danger. By the time the Hunter's Eye locked onto the approaching Son of the Dark Sun, the distance between them was less than ten miles. For the Son of the Dark Sun, whose weakest strength was that of a god, crossing this distance would only take an instant.

Fortunately, the world domain that unfolded in an instant was fast enough, and his domain was sufficient to create distance between them.

Even though the space was stretched thousands of miles away by the World Domain, the Dark Sun Child, which had already locked onto Rosen, still shot out black rays from its large eyes, colliding with the sunlight rays of the Brilliant Lighthouse at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

The original Sequence 3's glorious beacon should not have posed a threat to the Sequence 0's Dark Sun Child.

However, after careful consideration, Rosen fed the fragment of the sun's origin embedded in the ring to the jellyfish form of the Glorious Lighthouse, which enabled the Glorious Lighthouse to successfully advance to a Sequence 2 divine building, enough to barely pose a threat to the Sons of the Dark Sun.

Although in the short term, the magnificent lighthouse is not as good as the fragments of the sun's origin.

However, the latter is a consumable, while the former can consume divine crystals to continue to function.

At the beginning, the Sun Jellyfish that the Glorious Lighthouse had transformed into was at a significant disadvantage. However, the World Domain severed the connection between the Child of Dark Sun and the Dark Sun, and the consumed power could not be replenished by the Dark Sun. Soon, the Child of Dark Sun was already at a disadvantage.

After several years of attrition warfare within the Time-Space World Fruit, the Dark Sun Child was finally weakened to a certain extent.

Rosen then activated the original painting sealing technique, seizing the opportunity to seal the Son of Dark Sun inside a palm-sized card painting.

[Children of the Dark Sun: Spiritual Artwork]

[Level: Sequence 0]

[Attribute: Can summon a Sequence 0 Dark Sun Child (uncontrollable)]

[Characteristics: Unknown]

Capturing a Son of the Dark Sun alive is not difficult; the Sun-Shooting Empire has captured countless Sons of the Dark Sun alive.

However, to this day, no one has figured out the true nature of the Son of the Dark Sun, nor what kind of existence the Dark Sun is. All that is known is that the Dark Sun possesses terrifying spiritual pollution. Rosen is not sure what use capturing the Son of the Dark Sun will be.

Anyway, if we have the ability, let's grab one first; whether it's useful or not is a matter for later.
