Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 365 Dark Sun Eye and Dark Sun Apostle

Chapter 364

The blazing sunfire tore through the darkness, igniting a dark sun nest with its flames.

Rosen silently calculated that this was already 11220 Dark Sun Nests that had been killed.

Without the help of the God Network, it would have been almost impossible to find so many Dark Sun Nests in the endless darkness.

However, even with the God Network, he could no longer find a new Dark Sun Nest.

The only way to create new Dark Sun Nests is to capture Dark Sun Children.

However, even after he wiped out the Dark Sun's lair, the Dark Sun of the Old World still showed no reaction whatsoever.

Furthermore, the Dark Sun Contamination formed after the Dark Sun Nest dies will not have any contamination effect on him.

If any other great true god dared to do this, they would have long been corrupted into the servants of the Dark Sun.

Of course, even if they were not afraid of contamination, other great true gods would not dare to hunt down the Dark Sun's followers on a large scale, because no one knew whether the Dark Sun would react to the attack, and the gains from hunting down the Dark Sun's followers were not enough for the great true gods to take the risk.

Rosen dared to hunt down the Dark Sun's retinue so recklessly only because he had the ability to transmit data to the New World at any time.

It has taken nearly a century to hunt down these Dark Sun Nests.

Sometimes he even wondered if it was worth spending so much time on it.

If it weren't for the Hunter Points and the permanent increase in true damage, he might not have been able to persist day and night for a hundred years.

Rosen was determined to facilitate the creation of the Dark Sun Nest, and he needed to gather at least 15,000 before making any decisions.

However, only about fifty years remain until the agreed-upon millennium deadline.

This amount of time is clearly insufficient to artificially induce the creation of nearly four thousand Dark Sun Nests.

King's Game or Dark Sun Mark: This is a difficult choice.

The Omniscient Eye locked onto the God of Pentacles, and Rosen quickly saw the God of Pentacles' information and breathed a sigh of relief.

The King's Game doesn't have a specific timeframe, so delaying it for a few years is not a problem at all. The agreement of a thousand years back then was just pressure from the God of Pentacles. If he couldn't become a true god within a thousand years, they would still have to wait.

Moreover, even fifty years from now, the God of Pentacles may not be able to regain his true god-like strength.

So even if he doesn't request a postponement this time, the God of Pentacles will postpone the start of the King's Game.

Rosen was relieved and began a frantic search for the Son of the Dark Sun.

The Dark Sun Slime played a crucial role; it could directly enslave 150 Dark Sun Children, causing them to fight each other and form Dark Sun Nests. Therefore, most of the time was spent searching for them, and the high-frequency data transmission almost overloaded the God Network.

A century passed quickly, and Rosen raised his gun and shot the last Dark Sun Nest.

In the old world, not only is the Dark Sun's Lair destroyed, but even the Sons of the Dark Sun have been nearly wiped out by him.

He achieved this level in just over two hundred years. Even without the God Network, the many great true gods of the old world could have wiped out all the Dark Sun's followers in a few thousand years. Even if they were to be careful about the pollution and kill them slowly, wouldn't tens of thousands of years be enough?

However, countless years have passed, and the great true gods of the old world have always turned a blind eye.

On the bright side, it might mean that the Dark Sun's remnants were left for the Celestial Empire to deal with.

After all, while the rewards from hunting down Dark Sun Familiars are meager, they're not entirely empty-handed.

However, if we look at the worst-case scenario, it's not that the Great God doesn't want to, but that he can't. The impact of mass hunting down the Dark Sun's followers could very well endanger the Great God's life. That's why the Great God created the pantheon to fight against the Dark Sun's followers.

If that's the case, why is he completely unharmed after nearly wiping out the Dark Sun Familia?
As the last Dark Sun Nest was burned to ashes by the Sun God's fire, the True God-level Dark Sun Mark, which resembled the vertical pupil pattern between Rosen's eyebrows, began to evolve and transform at that moment. Soon, this Dark Sun Mark merged with his Eternal Godhood.

[Eternal Origin: Root (Dark Sun, Omniscience, Mimicry, Compatibility, Plunder, Evolution)]

[Eternal Organ: Dark Sun Eye]

"???"

Rosen had three questions in his mind.

Is evolution the eternal origin of the dark sun?
How come another Dark Sun suddenly appeared within the coverage area of ​​the Root?
And what is the eternal organ?
Rosen carefully sensed the Dark Sun Source and the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye through the Eternal Divine Essence.

The essence of Dark Sun Root is darkness and pollution, and Dark Sun Heavenly Eye can manipulate darkness and pollution through the vision of the vertical pupil between the eyebrows.

The moment Rosen activated his Dark Sun Eye to look at the Dark Sun of the Old World, he even discovered that he could manipulate the Dark Sun.

This made him unable to sit still; such a windfall was too good to be true.

The towering stone pillars suspended in the sky of the empire; Rosen visits the World Tree once again.

The World Tree examined the Dark Sun Eye between Rosen's brows, signaling Rosen to use the Root Power he possessed.
Rosen used them one by one, and after the World Tree finished reading, he understood.

"Compatibility originates from me, plunder originates from the ancient gods..."

The World Tree explained, "The Dark Sun and Omniscience originate from evolution and mimicry. The origins of mimicry and evolution are unknown. Only compatibility, plunder, evolution, and mimicry truly originate from eternal life. The true eternal origin has no nemesis."

Upon hearing this, Rosen immediately understood that the Dark Sun and Omniscience were nothing more than false eternal origins.

It can be understood that the Immortal Origin, after being strengthened and fused with the Eternal Evolution Origin, has acquired some of the abilities of the Eternal Origin through continuous evolution, but it is not the true Eternal Origin. The fact that the darkness formed by the Dark Sun can be restrained by ordinary sunlight is the best proof of this.

But then another question arises: if the Dark Sun is not truly the eternal origin, why can't the Ancient Gods do anything to it?
Furthermore, the Dark Sun is misnamed; how did the Ancient Gods manage to defeat the World Tree with the help of the Dark Sun?

Faced with Rosen's persistent questioning, World Tree provided explanations one by one.

Although the Dark Sun is not the true eternal origin, it does not mean that the Dark Sun is weak. Because the Dark Sun combines eternal evolution and eternal mimicry, the true Dark Sun is equivalent to being enhanced by two eternal origins. Therefore, the Dark Sun is even more powerful than the Ancient Gods and the World Tree.

However, the Dark Sun lacks intelligence and self-awareness, which is why the ancient gods were able to defeat the World Tree by relying on its power.

However, even the ancient gods could only borrow, not truly control, the Dark Sun.

Because the ancient gods' plundering essence was insufficient to overwhelm the evolutionary and mimicry essences and completely control the Dark Sun.

Therefore, the ancient gods were also corrupted by the Dark Sun. As for why the Dark Sun in the old world didn't seem so powerful, and could even be manipulated by the Dark Sun's Heavenly Eye, it's because the Dark Sun's power was severely depleted when it corrupted the ancient gods.

The ancient gods' slumber was partly due to the World Tree, but more importantly, it was to cleanse themselves of the Dark Sun's corruption.

Rosen essentially took advantage of the Old Gods' slumber to snag a bargain in the Old World.

Even if he could control the Dark Sun of the Old World with his Dark Sun Eye, he could only control a tiny bit of it at most.

Because the source he has mastered, although it has reached the level of eternity in terms of quality, is at most at the level of a true god in terms of quantity. The unity of quality and quantity is true eternity. The World Tree also has mastered the source of eternity and compatibility, but it is still weak and barely surviving.

Having finally caught up with the World Tree, Rosen simply showed it the Doomsday Ark's voyage log as well.

The World Tree did not answer his question this time, because it was truly beyond the World Tree's comprehension.

After watching the World Tree enter the stone sphere once again, Rosen hesitated whether to take action after leaving the Stone Wall Spirit Realm.

The World Tree is so easy to talk to; it answers every question without mentioning any conditions.

This left him unsure of what the World Tree was really thinking.
In the end, he didn't make a move. Even if the World Tree was in a precarious situation, who could say that it hadn't left any trump cards? If he really went all out, he might be able to kill the World Tree, but couldn't the World Tree drag him down with it?

Therefore, it's better to remain at peace. If we really want to deal with the World Tree, we should wait until we become immortal gods and demons.

The data transmission returned to the old world, and Rosen began to try to control the Dark Sun in the sky using the Dark Sun Eye.

Only after taking control did I realize that Dark Sun wasn't as powerful as I had imagined.

The Dark Sun today might be equivalent to the power of an immortal god or demon.

Over countless years, the light of the Dark Sun has spilled onto the old world, polluting everything. In the process, the fundamental laws of the old world collapsed, causing the Dark Sun's essence to only flow out and not in. At its peak, it may have possessed the power of eternal life, but now it has long since fallen to the level of immortal gods and demons.

Then Rosen wandered around the old world and found a very hidden passage.

The ancient god's black cavity guarded by the Earth Dragon is merely a trachea of ​​the ancient god. It's only a superficial channel through which the new world plunders the dark sun's power from the old world; in reality, it also conceals an esophagus that continuously devours the old world's dark sun power. Therefore, the claim that the new world cannot digest dark sun power is a lie; the truth is that the ancient god has never ceased plundering the dark sun's power.

Rosen was even certain that the Ancient Gods allowed the Old World to be corrupted by the power of the Dark Sun.

The reason is simple: the power of the Dark Sun is condensed and does not dissipate, so it would be quite difficult for the ancient gods to plunder it.

However, the power of the Dark Sun over the endless years was released and diluted, merging into the old world. The difficulty for the ancient gods to plunder the diluted Dark Sun power through the interdimensional passage formed by the esophagus was greatly reduced.

Rosen's frenzied hunting of the Sons of the Dark Sun and the Dark Sun's Lair is, in a sense, a competition with the Old Gods for food.

He now understood why the Holy Emperors of the Old World didn't join forces to eliminate the Dark Sun's followers: killing too many would affect the Ancient Gods' feeding, and those great true gods had no need to invite the Ancient Gods' targeting for the dangerous Dark Sun's power.

But now that it's done, it's too late to regret it.

Even knowing all this beforehand, Rosen would still choose to hunt down Dark Sun Familiars to improve his own strength.

Data transmission; Rosen appears on the edge of a dark, sun-exposed restricted area.

The Dark Sun Heavenly Eye scanned the forbidden zone and has already detected a Dark Sun retinue of the Great True God level deep within the forbidden zone.

It looks like a miniature Dark Sun, capable of transforming into a miniature star or an eye covered in tentacles. Even great gods are no match for it, and it is the highest-ranking Dark Sun Apostle among the Dark Sun's retinue.

His Dark Sun Eye is not yet able to control these Dark Sun Apostles.

However, because he controlled a portion of the Dark Sun's source and could manipulate some of its power, these Dark Sun Apostles would not attack him proactively.

Rosen was considering whether he could abduct one of the Dark Sun Apostles.

If he were to encounter real danger, even if he couldn't control the Dark Sun Apostle, simply throwing it out would be enough to make the enemy suffer. With this in mind, he used the hides dropped from the Dark Sun Nest to make dimensional canvases and transformed the Dark Sun Source into God's Paint.

The magic brush in his hand left countless afterimages, and finally traced the dark sun in the sky.

The Dark Sun Diagram of Sequence 0 contains a spiritual realm and a certain Dark Sun Source.

Whether we can attract the Dark Sun Apostles to move in, we'll find out by trying.

It went more smoothly than expected. The moment Rosen approached with the framed picture, the Dark Sun Apostle had already walked right into the trap.

Having successfully lured the Dark Sun Apostle, Rosen used the Painting World Descent technique to bring the spirit realm within the painting to the Dark Sun Forbidden Zone. Then, he used the Original Painting Sealing Technique to peel off the entire Dark Sun Forbidden Zone and integrate it into the painting, making the Dark Sun Apostle's living space much more comfortable.

Rosen originally wanted to draw more dark-day illustrations, but gave up after careful observation.

The Dark Sun Apostle was drawn into the Dark Sun Diagram, relying on the Dark Sun Source within it.

Even feeding the Dark Sun Apostles only a little bit will consume a great deal of Dark Sun Energy over a long period of time.

Feeding even one Dark Sun Apostle was already a huge effort for Rosen, so the idea of ​​carrying a large number of Dark Sun Apostles around was simply not feasible.

The Dark Sun Slime failed to find the best way to establish a divine kingdom, but Rosen obtained the Dark Sun Eye and the Dark Sun Source.

Over the next few months, Rosen traversed the Dark Sun Forbidden Zone.

The extraordinary resources were abundant, but the greatest gain was the discovery of the deceased Great God in a Dark Sun Forbidden Zone.

The strength of Dark Sun Apostles varies greatly depending on the specific Dark Sun Forbidden Zone.

The strongest of these is the Dark Sun Forbidden Zone, where the Dark Sun Apostles are practically immortal gods and demons.

Otherwise, the great true god who broke in back then wouldn't have ended up unable to escape.

Rosen had assumed that the great true god who died there would become a servant of the Dark Sun, but to his surprise, the body was lying there perfectly fine. The Dark Sun Apostles were not very interested in the contamination of the corpse; although the body was badly damaged, it was still very valuable.

When the body was recovered, no great divine miracles or treasures were found, and it was unclear whether the body had been touched.

It is obvious that the fall of a great true god would likely not result in the loss of miraculous treasures of the great true god's level.

As for the extraordinary artifacts originally carried by the corpse, which were of the level of a great true god, they have been reduced to fragments and are now only of material value.

If we include that corpse, it might be possible to use it to create extraordinary artifacts of the level of a great true god.

One should be content with what one has, and Rosen was already very satisfied with this achievement.

The corpse, in particular, gave him additional inspiration.

This corpse is a great true god of the old world, strictly speaking, a celestial immortal, but not a celestial immortal of the primordial spirit immortal path, but a celestial immortal of a certain artifact cultivation civilization. It has no divine kingdom or divine status, but has a cave world that is equivalent to a combination of the two.

He regarded the entire grotto-heaven world as his own body, and transformed his celestial will into the grotto-heaven Dao, which was equivalent to the will of the world.

Dark Sun Slime is well-suited for this path; it can create a magical world within its body, a world of artifact cultivation.

Rosen had considered this and it was indeed feasible. Although the inner world of the Celestial Immortal's remains was shattered, the remains contained the most core extraordinary power of the artifact-cultivation civilization. His root sequence could completely imitate it to a great extent enough to build an inner world of god-level.

The smelting materials are very simple; the Dark Sun Slime can integrate them into its body by consuming them.

Then, the body is hollowed out, and the hollow body is transformed into various materials. Next, countless array runes mastered by the artifact cultivation civilization are engraved on these materials. With the skills of painters and sculptors, and by simulating the artifact refiners of the artifact cultivation civilization, all problems are solved.

Less than a thousand years after the time acceleration within the historical world fruit, the inner world of the Dark Sun Slime has already been born.

This special dark cave is so powerful that even a true god would be trapped and die if he entered.

Since Dark Sun Slime was unlikely to make any further progress in the short term, Rosen shifted his focus to his three clones.

Since the main body is already a deity, the three avatars must also become deities.

Rosen first considered the Death God clone because the Death God clone has a sequence 0 Hell Reincarnation Diagram.

The hellish death depicted in this painting is naturally a divine realm that aligns with the incarnation of the god of death.

The difference in faith is not much. The vast majority of lives lost at his hands, as long as they had souls, were thrown into the Hell Reincarnation Map. Now, there are countless death hunters in the Hell Reincarnation Map, and even the Angel of Death can change his faith and turn to the avatar of the God of Death.

Therefore, the Death God's clone could ascend to godhood at any time, but Rosen wanted the Death God's clone to become even stronger.

In the new world of the spirit realm, Rosen releases the laws of death that were confined within the Fruit of Death.

Within a few days, the Shroud of Death, which pursues the laws of death, arrived.

The shroud of death that once made him retreat was no longer a threat to him.

Rosen grabbed the Shroud of Death. The death curse and plague transmitted from it could not harm him. After all, his body was that of a true god formed by the divine realm devouring the entire dragon realm.

However, when he tried to refine the Death Shroud, it vanished into thin air.

Then, it appeared out of thin air not far away and continued to wrap around him. Rosen tried many methods but could not catch it. The Shroud of Death could not do anything to him, and he could not catch the Shroud of Death either. For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, each trying to grab the other.

Rosen used his all-knowing magic eye to lock onto the truth of the Shroud of Death and gradually deciphered it.

This thing is the shroud of a certain true god, but it's not an actual shroud. Rather, it was created by the spirit world when this true god was resurrected from the history of his fall, and the shroud was used as clothing for this true god.

Then, as soon as this true god was resurrected, he immediately committed suicide and turned everything into a curse.

The Shroud of Turin absorbed these curses and was then transformed by the spirit world into something akin to a concept, specifically responsible for cleaning up things that posed a threat to the spirit world. So, strictly speaking, the Shroud of Turin is one of the spirit world's cleaners.

Therefore, the Shroud of Death is part of the spirit world, which explains why Rosen couldn't catch it at all.

However, while the shroud of death cannot be taken away, the deathly power contained within it is not necessarily so.

Rosen released the Death God clone, allowing the Shroud of Death to envelop it.

The Shroud of Death began to devour the laws of death within the Grim Reaper's clone, but the clone also shared the origin of the original, and then used compatibility and plunder to erode the power of the Shroud of Death in turn.

As time went by, the shroud of death grew weaker and weaker, eventually succumbing to its weakness and disappearing without a trace.
