Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 364 Navigation Log and Advanced Dark Sun Mark

Chapter 363

In the captain's cabin of the Doomsday Ark, mountains of divine crystals fell from the void.

The total amount of material was enough to give birth to a true god before the captain's cabin could be considered barely repaired.

To completely repair the Doomsday Ark, it would probably take the combined wealth of eight or ten great gods.

The Doomsday Ark may look like an ancient sailing ship, but its technology is actually quite advanced.

At least the cockpit's control panel is a quantum optical brain of god-like quality.

Rosen unplugged the network cable from the main computer and plugged it in, quickly taking over the quantum optical brain and starting to search the navigation logs.

The screen of the main computer appeared on my retina, and it began to play everything recorded in the navigation log.

Everything that happened on the Ark was recorded in the voyage log.

It's not a written record, but a video record.

However, the videos played had a lot of mosaics, and these mosaics all involved the great true God.

The quantum optical brain is not a secret brass book after all; it cannot record the image of the great true god. All images are pixelated, and all sounds are just buzzing electrical noises. The only thing that can be truly recorded is the image of the true god.

Three great true gods and hundreds of other true gods, filled with hope, set sail from the Pantheon Ark in the waters of Pantheon.

Just like the captain's private logbook that Rosen discovered back then, the initial voyage of the Doomsday Ark went very smoothly. It rose continuously from the Pantheon Sea and did not enter the Astral Plane. Instead, it crossed the Astral Plane directly into the endless void above it.

The increasingly terrifying spatial storms are enough to tear apart a true god, but they are far from enough to shake the Doomsday Ark.

The Ark's speed is not fast; in fact, it can be described as very slow.

At a speed of less than 10,000 kilometers per hour, it is estimated that to escape the outermost barrier of the new world, one would need to travel vertically upwards for more than six trillion kilometers. At this speed, it would take a full 70,000 years to escape the new world.

It's not that Doomsday Ark doesn't want to go fast, but the faster it goes, the more likely it is to run into problems.

Even if it is a doomsday ark of the level of a great true god, it is actually nothing more than a small sailboat drifting at sea under a hurricane.

If the sailing speed is too high, it will be blown off course by space storms in no time.

It's important to understand that there's no sense of direction in the endless spatial storm. The only way is to vertically locate the Pantheon sea area and then continuously increase the distance in the opposite direction. If you are blown off course by the spatial storm, you will only encounter more dangers and waste more time.

Therefore, stable navigation is the most important factor, but long voyages measured in tens of thousands of years are too difficult to endure.

The great true gods and gods on the ship could only be divided into three batches to guard the Ark of Doomsday.

Space storms are not the biggest threat to Doomsday Ark; the space life forms born from those storms are the biggest problem. During this time, Doomsday Ark even encountered a swarm of Void Worms led by Great True Gods, forcing three Great True Gods to join forces to repel the Void Worm swarm.

After this battle, all three great true gods were seriously injured.

So after they were safe, the Doomsday Ark stopped for repairs, which was quite unusual.

It took decades for the three great gods to recover from their injuries, and for the Doomsday Ark to continue its vertical ascent from the Pantheon sea area.

However, at this very moment, the doomsday curse descended.

The doomsday curse originates from the death of all living beings and the resentment of all the dead towards the main world.

It can be said that the Doomsday Curse is a malignant tumor for the main world. However, the world's will peeled this tumor off and rejected it into the endless void, making the Doomsday Curse a defensive barrier to prevent the great true god from leaving the new world.

The doomsday curse is composed of negative spiritual energy after death, so a large number of doomsday curses will form a special kind of life.

This life form is composed of spiritual entities and naturally possesses terrifying curse abilities.

The weakest of these cursed evil spirits are true gods, and the strongest even surpass great true gods and are no less than immortal gods and demons.

The destruction of the Doomsday Ark stemmed from encountering a cursed evil spirit of immortal god-like status.

All the true gods died quickly. Two of the three great true gods escaped, but the last one did not. This last one was the strange man trapped in the ticket space. However, at this time, the Doomsday Ark was still intact. For some reason, the cursed evil spirit did not destroy the Doomsday Ark.

The doomsday ark, now out of control, continues its journey along its original route.

Strictly speaking, the Doomsday Ark only temporarily lost control.

Because the great true god hiding in the ticket space, although fatally injured by the curse of the evil spirit, has clearly improved over time and gradually regained control of the Ark of Doomsday.

Tens of thousands of years have passed in this way, and the Doomsday Ark has encountered many dangers along the way, but has always managed to escape unscathed.

By the time the Doomsday Ark approached the World Barrier, the hull had already suffered severe damage.

Just as they were about to completely break free from the world barrier, the only great true god remaining on the ship finally stepped out of the ticket space.

However, at that moment, the images recorded in the navigation log were completely pixelated.

Clearly, what happened next was beyond the limits of what the quantum optical brain could record.

Although the video is gone, surprisingly, a piece of audio has been preserved.

Rosen carefully analyzed the voice and determined that it did not belong to the Great God but to some other God.

However, this true god does not belong to any of the passengers on the ship.

Rosen thought of the third ticket space in the cabin. Inside that ticket space was the corpse of a true god and a divine kingdom, but everything had been crushed and mixed together. This true god should be the owner of the voice recorded at the end of the voyage log.

As for why this true god was on the ship, it should be related to the great true god who was left behind at the end.

That great true god used some means to hide an unplanned true god inside his personal world.

If the portable world can hold countless people, why is there a limit to the number of tickets available to board the Doomsday Ark?

The reason is that all life is entangled in cause and effect with the world created by the ancient gods.

The greatest difficulty for the great true god to transcend the world is not the void storm or the doomsday curse, but the entanglement of cause and effect. Without resolving these causes and effects, one cannot leave the main world and enter the true universe. The more passengers the Ark of Doomsday has, the more entangled causes and effects there will be.

The space for the boat ticket was constructed using a special material that could weaken causality.

Therefore, everyone on the ship sent away all the lives in their respective divine kingdoms when they boarded, in order to lessen the karmic burden.

Not to mention believers and followers in God's kingdom, they have abandoned even their own family and children.

In this situation, the Great True God still had to carry another True God with him and hide him away. Obviously, the relationship between this True God and the Great True God was very close, so close that he was willing to risk even greater danger to take this True God with him when he escaped.

The universe is fake, everything is a lie...

Despair, fear, pain, and madness—these are the last sounds recorded in the logbook by the mysterious true god.

Rosen fell into deep thought with a heavy heart; the voyage log did not record what happened last.

However, judging from the outcome, the mysterious true god died in the ticket space, the great true god became a monster and imprisoned himself in another ticket space, and the doomsday ark also mysteriously appeared in the deep sea of ​​the spirit world.

If the final words of the mysterious true god are true, they are enough to drive all great true gods mad.

Because transcending the world to reach the true universe is the purpose of all great true gods.

If the universe is fake, and there is no universe outside the main world at all, then it means that all the great and transcendent gods in history are actually dead, and the so-called transcendence is just a lie. All the great and transcendent gods have been fooled by a lie.

Rosen wanted to go to the Tower of Babel to find the World Tree, but then he thought it was unnecessary.

The World Tree has been trapped in the spiritual realm of the Towering Stone Pillar for countless years. As for what exactly is going on between the old and new worlds, and whether the outside world is really the universe, the World Tree probably knows less than he does. So asking him would be pointless.

Whether it's true or false, these aren't the most important things.

Only strength matters. No matter the situation, whether it's the truth or a lie, without strength, the truth is meaningless. With strength, even the false can become the truth. If you want to explore the truth or the false, you can become an immortal god or demon first before considering these things.

……

The old world, the old world now, is about to be completely swallowed by darkness.

Because the various celestial dynasties and holy courts of the underworld have gradually moved to the sea area of ​​the Pantheon Mountain.

This migration was not an ordinary relocation; rather, it involved the complete dismantling and severing of the unpolluted parts of the old world, actively integrating them into the new world. Therefore, the old world is now riddled with holes, showing no trace of intelligent life. Furthermore, the overall size of the old world is now smaller than the new world due to the extensive dismantling efforts of numerous celestial dynasties and holy courts.

The new world, or rather the ancient gods, benefited the most from this process.

Since the new world is the embodiment of the ancient gods, it naturally benefits the most from swallowing the last valuable remnants of the old world.

Meanwhile, the various celestial dynasties and holy courts successfully transformed the old laws they had mastered into new laws.

As a result, a law that was originally monopolized by many true gods suddenly appeared to be occupied by two true gods. It can be said that one of the true gods who mastered the same law must die, otherwise they might fall from the status of true gods over time.

Rosen came to the Old World this time mainly to do three things.

The first priority, of course, is to hunt down the Sons of the Dark Sun to obtain more Dark Sun Marks and enhance the strength of the Dark Sun Slimes.

Then we need to observe the changes in the Dark Sun. If the eternal origin of the Dark Sun is evolution, then where do darkness and pollution come from? Or are they just byproducts of the failure of evolution in all things? If we don't figure these things out, they will become hidden dangers sooner or later.

Finally, Rosen wanted to investigate whether Apocalypse had left anything more in the Old World.

After fusing with the core of the Sun God and transforming into the Sun Jellyfish, the Sun Lighthouse, with its miraculous property of Eternal Light, can convert all energy into sunlight. Although it is only Sequence 0, it can easily destroy Dark Sun Nests of True God level.

The Dark Sun Slime is not much different, after all, it has mastered the Sun Law that it obtained from the Sun Dragon God.

With this two-pronged approach, the corpses of the Sons of the Dark Sun littered the ground. Rosen's Hunter Points and the ever-increasing True Damage to Humans from the Hunter Contract also increased, allowing Rosen to handle the entire hunting process without much intervention.

With nothing else to do, Lawson devoted all his energy to improving his pets' strength.

He hunted down the god of thieves and the god of hunting, but he didn't use hunter points to exchange for anything.

The root laws he has mastered can simulate their laws, and the root sequences can also simulate their sequences.

Therefore, exchanging it for yourself is not very meaningful; exchanging it for your pet is only worthwhile if the pet can afford it.

The Apostle of Calamity is well-suited to inherit the Soul Thief Sequence of the Thief God, and is well-suited to inherit the Law of Theft.

However, the Apostles of Calamity are only Sequence 1; to inherit the power of the true god, they must at least advance to Sequence 0.

In fact, it's not just the Scourge Apostles; strictly speaking, the Dark Sun Slime is only Sequence 0, not a deity.

Because the Dark Sun Slime does not control a divine realm, its foundation is not as complete as that of a true god.

As for why a divine kingdom wasn't created for the Dark Sun Slime, it's simply because we didn't know how to create one. Ordinary divine kingdoms don't mean much to Dark Sun Slimes, and there's no precedent for a divine kingdom that perfectly suits Dark Sun Slimes, so we had to research it ourselves.

Rosen focused his main research on the Dark Sun Nest.

The Children of the Dark Sun are Sequence 0, and the Dark Sun Nest is the true god.

Each Dark Sun Nest is a self-contained world, a world specifically designed to create the Children of the Dark Sun.

These Dark Sun Lairs are very similar to those out-of-control unit lairs.

We can definitely achieve some results in this area.

Rosen doesn't even need to do his own research. The Ancient God Realm has trillions of people. There aren't enough resources to cultivate all of them to become extraordinary, but the total number of extraordinary people is still in the tens of billions. Over the years, there have been at least tens of thousands of people who have reached the strength of demigods.

If we select some demigods to study the Dark Sun Nest, we're bound to make some progress.

Moreover, Rosen didn't rely entirely on these demigods; he also set his sights on the Holy Emperors of the Holy Court.

Those Holy Emperors of the Holy Court, trapped in the Old World, must have done a lot of research on the Dark Sun.

To say that they haven't figured it out at all would be to underestimate those great true gods.

Having made up his mind, Rosen manipulated Yinglong's clone to visit the Primordial Holy Emperor.

Although the Omniscient Demon Eye can forcibly obtain information about the Primordial Holy Emperor, the more and more detailed the information, the higher its value, and the more divine essence it consumes. In comparison, going directly to the Emperor for a transaction is much more cost-effective.

The transaction went very smoothly, and even the Holy Emperor Yuan Sheng facilitated the expansion of the transaction scope.

Rosen only paid some basic magic potions, but in return he obtained research data on the Dark Sun Nest from more than a dozen Holy Emperors. He also got to know more than a dozen Holy Emperors. While they may not have a good relationship, they can at least have some contact when there is no conflict of interest.

Incidentally, Lawson also gained more than a dozen major clients.

The Holy Court relies on the fortune of civilization for sustenance, and the strength of this fortune depends on the strength of the nation.

The extraordinary systems of the old world were greatly affected when they arrived in the new world.

The potion sequence system is a hurdle that these civilizations of the Old World cannot bypass.

So in this transaction, Rosen not only didn't lose money, but actually made a huge profit.

By combining research data from more than a dozen sources on the Sons of the Dark Sun, Rosen discovered that there was a lot of overlap in these data.

It is evident that these Holy Emperors had exchanged their research on the Dark Sun.

"Group life?"

Rosen seemed to be deep in thought.

From the Sons of the Dark Sun to the Dark Sun's Lair, from the lower-ranking Dark Sun Familiars to the higher-ranking unknown beings in the Dark Sun's Forbidden Zone, these Dark Sun Familiars are strictly divided into ranks, and the lower ranks have virtually no ability to resist the higher ranks.

Furthermore, these Dark Sun Families, as a group of life forms, can evolve into the next level by devouring each other.

The Dark Sun Nest can mass-produce gods, and it is the Dark Sun Nest that every Holy Emperor researches the most.

There were indeed quite a few valuable results. Although no method was found to enable the Dark Sun Slime to establish its own divine kingdom, some methods were indeed developed that could greatly improve his efficiency in hunting Dark Sun Familiars.

For example, capturing a large number of Dark Sun Children and then forcing them to kill each other to create Dark Sun Nests.

Then trap the Dark Sun Nest, and kill each Dark Sun Child that is born inside.

A single Dark Sun Child has few resources, but if there are many of them, the resources will increase.

The key is to prevent the Dark Sun Children from gathering in large groups; each Dark Sun Child born then can only be slaughtered at will.

As for why the Holy Emperor of the Holy Court, having mastered this method, failed to kill enough people to discover the Dark Sun Mark.

That's because the death of a Child of the Dark Sun generates powerful Dark Sun pollution energy. After killing too many Children of the Dark Sun, one will be affected by Dark Sun pollution to some extent. Therefore, even when hunting these semi-domesticated Children of the Dark Sun, they are hunted in rotation.

This research finding may seem simple, but it is actually of great value.

Because the Dark Sun Nest is not an inanimate object, it will not obediently stay there to produce Dark Sun Children and be slaughtered.

The Dark Sun Nest must be sealed and trapped, but its production must not be affected.

This requires special sealing techniques, and it's difficult to grasp the most appropriate balance without countless attempts.

Rosen didn't intend to keep Dark Sun Nests in captivity because Dark Sun Nests produced Dark Sun Children too slowly.

The Old World has no shortage of Dark Sun Children; the advantage of keeping them in captivity is simply that they can hunt more Dark Sun Children without having to leave the Celestial Empire and the Holy Court.

His solar lighthouse can move freely, making hunting wherever he goes more profitable than keeping animals in captivity.

Rosen was interested in the weaknesses of the Dark Sun Nest mentioned in the research materials, as well as the various methods mentioned for targeting the Dark Sun Nest. As long as these methods were used skillfully, the efficiency of hunting Dark Sun Children and Dark Sun Nests could be greatly improved.

What used to require ten Sequence 1 angels to kill a Son of the Dark Sun without taking damage can now be easily killed by three or five.

Therefore, this research data improved Rosen's hunting efficiency several times over.

As countless Dark Sun Children perished in the frenzied hunt, the number of Dark Sun Nests being hunted gradually approached one thousand.

Hunting a thousand Dark Sun Children gives you a Dark Sun Mark, but what do you get for hunting a thousand Dark Sun Nests?
With a long-range shot of the Sun God Fireball from the Dragon God's Wrath in his hand, Rosen destroyed the last Dark Sun Nest. A black and red vertical pupil-like pattern appeared out of thin air between his eyebrows. This was the Dark Sun Mark, a Dark Sun Mark of the True God level.

Through this Dark Sun Mark, he can forcibly command a Dark Sun Nest of True God level.

Having confirmed the existence of higher-level Dark Sun Marks, Rosen began a frantic search for Dark Sun Nests. Fifteen Dark Sun Marks created by hunting Dark Sun Children had created Dark Sun Slimes. What would happen if fifteen higher-level Dark Sun Marks were fused together?
It's just 14,000 Dark Sun Nests. Taking them down one by one each day is only a matter of time.

They're taking advantage of the Dark Sun Nest's lack of intelligence; they don't even know to band together when they're being targeted.
