Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 373 The Web of Faith and the Mysterious Memory Disorder
Chapter 372

"The real chaos is coming..."

Rosen sighed.

He quite liked the new world, with its different civilizations, countries, and races. He was far from being tired of everything, so watching the world headed for destruction without being able to stop it made him feel a little regretful.

By painting the ancient tree sequence, Rosen conveyed an optional task to all painter sequences.

By creating spiritual paintings of different regions, civilizations, and races, one can obtain the qualifications to exchange for various painter's skills, and even the qualification to travel to the interior of the painting world through the horror amusement park and data transmission for further study.

At Rosen's command, the Glorious Kingdom mobilized its resources to build an academy for painters in the world of painting.

His development as a painter was greatly aided by the experiences of all other painters.

Now all he can do is help as many painters as possible survive, and to ensure that all painters preserve traces of the New World, its many regions, and its many civilizations in their paintings. Even if the New World is destined to perish, these paintings will ultimately prove that it ever existed.

Although chaos has arrived, the new world is still several years away from destruction.

Raising Gu (a type of poisonous insect) also takes time; the ascension of a demigod to a god, and the mutual killing among gods to become a true god, all require time.

These two phases will not end for several decades.

The damage that demigods and gods can cause to the new world is also very limited.

However, if the true gods start killing each other later on, it will be enough to cause devastating damage to the civilization of the new world.

If two true gods are evenly matched, what is the simplest way to determine a winner?
The answer is to destroy the civilizations controlled by the opposing true god, depriving them of the blessing of civilizational fortune and the source of more faith. Weakening the opponent is achieved by destroying one civilization after another. Therefore, when the true god begins to seize destiny, it means the complete destruction of civilization.

The new world will only truly face destruction when all the true gods kill each other and ascend to become great true gods.

True gods can only destroy civilizations and continents; only a large number of great true gods are qualified to tear apart the entire new world.

In the end, some of the victors transcended, while the rest became livestock to be harvested by the ancient gods upon their awakening.

However, Rosen thought of the last passage recorded in the Doomsday Ark's logbook: if transcendence is a lie, then all the struggles and resistance of all the great true gods in history have become a joke. Therefore, before that happens, we must become stronger by any means necessary.

Rosen is preparing to ascend to the level of a true god, but of course, it's not his true self ascending to the level of a true god.

His avatars have not yet become deities, and his true self has not yet reached the most perfect foundation.

Rosen plans to advance the Miracle Sequence to the True God level. The Miracle Sequence is very special. Not only will the extraordinary source quality not affect the godhood, but it will also not allow the divine origin to advance to the True God level. The advancement of the Miracle Sequence will only have a strengthening effect on the Miracle Sequence.

Rosen possesses several suitable True God Miracle Treasures, including the Chaotic Money Box, Greedy Wallet, Soul Hands, Kingdom Guardian, Light Guardian Cross, Magic Lamp, and Horror Paradise. Some of these were given to his pets and clones, while others were not suitable.

Therefore, for a time, Rosen could not find the most suitable True God Miracle Treasure for the Miracle Sequence.

After considering it for a moment, Rosen decided to kill the Nightmare Dragon Spider completely to see what kind of miraculous treasure it might drop.

If the drop isn't suitable, then go find a more suitable True God Miracle Treasure.

If we can't find it, we'll probably have no choice but to take the initiative and hunt down the true god.

In the mysterious study, on the omniscient bookshelf, Rosen took out the biography of the Nightmare Dragon Spider and began to eliminate the Nightmare Dragon Spider's clones.

Once the location of the clone is determined, simply pointing at an illustration in the book is a forbidden curse.

Soon all of Nightmare Dragon Spider's clones were completely wiped out. Only then did Rosen arrive in front of the sealed Nightmare Dragon Spider and shoot it in the head, shattering its sea of ​​consciousness. Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the Nightmare Dragon Spider's divine core and used the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye to corrupt the divine essence within it.

As the divine essence was corrupted, it began to be melted and eroded by the darkness of the Dark Sun.

Only when the divine fire was extinguished, leaving only the intact divine essence, did the Nightmare Dragon Spider completely perish due to the decay of its divine origin.

Rosen crushed the sphere of spoils, reaping a massive amount of divine essence crystals, a complete divine spark, a skill crystal, a true god miracle treasure, and the last piece of spoils was actually a transcendent artifact of the level of a great true god.

Rosen picked up the skill crystal with some curiosity, as it was difficult for skills to drop when the divine essence was intact.

Because the divine essence and the extraordinary source matter are fused together, the divine essence contains most of the extraordinary sequence of the deceased true god. Usually, to obtain skill crystals, it is necessary to extract the extraordinary source matter from the divine essence and create skill crystals.

Therefore, the chance of a skill dropping when a deity is broken is very low, and the chance of a skill dropping when a deity is intact is almost zero.

"So it's a miracle skill!"

After carefully examining the skill crystal, Rosen chose to refine this miracle skill.

His limited omniscience and omnipotence are powerful, as he can simulate the release of all extraordinary sequences of skills.

However, some skills cannot be replicated even with limited omniscience and omnipotence.

Miracle skills are not within the scope of limited omniscience and omnipotence replication, otherwise there would be no "limited" prefix.

Therefore, when Rosen encounters a good miracle skill that suits him, he doesn't mind integrating the extraordinary essence within his divine nature.

Furthermore, due to the terrifying compatibility of the Root Sequence, the Miracle Skills integrated with the Extraordinary Source can be Miracle Skills from Extraordinary Sequences other than Nobles, Painters, and Hunters. Therefore, one can master up to nine different sequences of Miracle Skills at Sequence 0.

However, most miracle skills are not irreplaceable, so the miracle skills that he values ​​are very rare.

[Faith Web: Miracle Skill]

[Passive Attribute: Automatically filters and purifies faith]

[Active Attribute: Able to capture and infiltrate faith networks through the Faith Spider Web]

[Miracle Trait: Faith Web]

All gods exist in their own online communities.

The divine essence is the server, the believer's faith is the network cable, and the believer himself is the computer. He continuously uploads his faith to the server through the network cable, and then it is purified by divine fire and transformed by the divine essence, finally forming a crystallized faith that can be transformed into divine power.

Every deity's faith network is a private server, because no one wants their faith to be stolen.

However, evil gods are adept at stealing faith.

Even evil gods have followers and their own stable online communities.

However, the majority of people in the world are clearly of sound mind, and those who believe in evil gods are always a minority.

Moreover, evil gods do not necessarily prefer positive and devout faith. Most evil gods prefer negative beliefs formed by negative spiritual forces such as fear and despair. Therefore, evil gods are keen to spread fear, despair, and death.

When a believer in a normal deity feels fear and terror upon experiencing the horror of an evil god...

Is the faith generated by this believer a positive or negative faith?
The answer is both. The negative faith generated by the fear of evil gods unconsciously flows towards the evil gods. As for the positive faith flowing towards the gods they believe in, in this case, the faith network of the gods is actually linked to the faith network of evil gods.

Historically, there have been instances where evil gods corrupted all the followers of a deity, causing them to develop an excessive amount of negative beliefs.

Then, block negative beliefs from being absorbed, allowing these negative beliefs to eventually flow to the gods worshipped by believers.

As a result, the negative faith was too strong and the divine fire could not purify it, ultimately leading to the deity's fall and becoming a subordinate deity of the evil god.

Therefore, almost every evil god has the ability to infiltrate the faith network of righteous gods through faith.

Nightmare Dragon Spiders are no exception, and in fact, they are exceptionally talented in this area.

The Faith Web is a miracle skill specifically designed to infiltrate faith networks. Not only can it easily infiltrate them, but it can also brainwash believers shrouded in the Faith Web, thereby secretly stealing their worship.

Even the most powerful ordinary evil god can only infiltrate the faith networks of a few true gods at the same time.

Nightmare Dragon Spiders are more powerful, but at most they are only a few times more numerous than ordinary evil gods.

After becoming a miracle skill, the Faith Web is even more powerful than the Nightmare Dragon Spider, but its limit is that it can infiltrate dozens of Faith Webs at the same time.

However, after Rosen mastered this miraculous skill, he was able to integrate the Faith Web into the God Network, spread the Faith Web to the whole world through the God Network, and simultaneously invade all faith networks in the world through the God Computer.

Furthermore, due to its compatibility and mimicry, his Faith Spider's intrusion into the Faith Network is virtually undetectable. At least below the level of immortal gods and demons, no one can detect the Faith Spider's intrusion into the Faith Network.

Rosen wasn't after the stolen faith that had become part of the spiritual crystallization; he was truly after the deity behind the believers.

He could completely transmit the corrupting power of the Dark Sun Eye to the faith network of the gods through the web of faith. When the gods absorbed the faith, they were unaware that all of this faith contained the darkness and corruption of the Dark Sun.

Due to mimicry, the darkness and pollution of the Dark Sun appear on the surface to be a positive belief.

Therefore, when a deity absorbs and refines these beliefs without realizing it, the deity's divine essence is easily corrupted by the Dark Sun Eye and assimilated into darkness, directly causing the deity to become a Dark Sun servant.

Rosen had been worried about the threat of the Fate Tablet, but now he was no longer worried.

He would use the web of faith to disguise the corruption of the Dark Sun as normal faith, then quietly corrupt the demigods who absorbed that faith, allowing the corruption of the Dark Sun to lie dormant, and then wait for these demigods to ascend to godhood.

To become a god, one must join the monstrous feast of the Tablets of Fate, where one will either devour others or be devoured.

Whether they eat or are eaten, those who survive will seize everything through fate. The corruption of the Dark Sun will unknowingly enter the victors' bodies, and eventually, as this continues to spread, all true gods will be unknowingly corrupted by the power of the Dark Sun.

At that time, in the blink of an eye, all the true gods will be corrupted into the servants of the Dark Sun.

Without a moment's delay, Rosen immediately began implementing the Dark Sun Contamination Plan, centered around the Web of Faith.

However, the plan soon faced new problems. The reason why the Dark Sun Contamination was so powerful that even the Great True God had to retreat was that the core of the Dark Sun Contamination was the eternal origin of the Dark Sun. If the origin was not enough, the contamination power could not be exerted, and it would even be easily dispelled by the sunlight of the New World.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to completely pollute the faith through a web of faith; at most, we can only achieve targeted pollution at key points.

Rosen didn't intend to make enemies of the world and kill all the gods, so the web of faith should target those gods who had grudges against him.

Rosen handed the Faith Spider Web to the Main God's computer for management and picked up the True God's Miracle Treasure dropped by the Nightmare Dragon Spider.

Nightmare Lair: Miracle Unit Building

[Level: True God]

[Miracle Attribute: Can merge with the dream world of life to produce Nightmare units]

[Miracle Traits: Nightmare Parasite, Unique in the World, Eternal]

There are very few military buildings of god-like quality in the entire world.

However, after learning about it, Rosen gave up on mastering it. Nightmare units are nightmare creatures, which are very weak in reality and can only exert their true combat power in dreams. As for the types of nightmare units, the nightmares that parasitize fire dragons produce nightmare fire dragons.

However, the question arises: how many true gods dream?

If a true god doesn't dream, how can a nightmare nest be parasitized? Even if it were parasitized, wouldn't the true god awaken?
Therefore, Nightmare Nest is somewhat useless, as it is difficult to create Nightmare units of true god-level quality.

Rosen directly gave the Nightmare Nest to Little Dragon Girl. Now that she has mastered the Nightmare Law, she can parasitize the dreams of countless lives in the Ancient God Realm and create some low-level Nightmare troops to manage the original Nightmare World within her God Kingdom, which can play a role to some extent.

All that remained of the spoils was the extraordinary artifact of the Great True God, and Rosen picked it up and examined it without much hope.

Once you see it, you can't take your eyes off it; the attributes of this extraordinary artifact are unexpectedly good.

Nightmare Theater: Extraordinary Objects

[Rank: Great True God]

[Attribute: Can forcibly pull the divine consciousness of a being having a nightmare into the nightmare theater]

[Law Characteristics: Nightmare Soul Absorption, Nightmare Fall, Nightmare Descent]

Judging from its attributes, Rosen should be classified as an extraordinary building, but this thing truly is an extraordinary artifact.

Because the Nightmare Theater is very small, it is only the size of a marble and is embedded in the pendant.

Rosen placed the Nightmare Theater pendant around Little Dragon Girl's neck. This item was most suitable for her, who had mastered the laws of nightmares. Of course, he could also use it whenever he needed to. With such an extraordinary artifact, it was no wonder that the Nightmare Dragon Spider was able to defeat the Deceitful Evil God Hungry.

It's likely that Nightmare Dragon Lake used this to lure the deceitful evil god into the Nightmare Theater and imprison him there.

Only then could the Deceitful God be forced to become a subordinate god. However, the Nightmare Spider was too confident and did not expect that it would be tricked by the Deceitful God with lies. Therefore, although the Nightmare Theater is good, one should not be too arrogant because of it.

If the Nightmare Spider hadn't taken the Deceitful God as its subordinate deity, it would have been fully capable of killing the Deceitful God through the Nightmare Theater.

This thing forcibly pulls away divine consciousness, and can even cause an instant kill to a true god.

Of course, the premise is that the true god has to have nightmares, and making the true god have nightmares is not easy.

Although Nightmare Theater isn't a good thing when viewed from the perspective of a great god, it's very suitable for Little Dragon Girl and very suitable for dealing with gods. As for how to make gods have nightmares, that requires other means to assist.

After counting the spoils, Rosen took out the Hunter's Map and exchanged it for the Nightmare Dragon Spider's Curse Law.

However, he did not directly absorb the Law of Curse, because the Law of Curse was bound to the Source of Evil God, which was also the key to the Nightmare Dragon Spider becoming an Evil God. After weighing the options, he integrated the Law of Curse into Horror Paradise to further strengthen the power of Horror Paradise.

In the end, Rosen exchanged for the Nightmare Dragon Spider's memories, the value of which should not be underestimated.

The Nightmare Dragon Spider has lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years, making it one of the oldest evil gods. In addition, it has countless clones scattered all over the world, parasitizing the dreams of all living beings. Over hundreds of thousands of years, it has experienced and known far too many secrets.

While the All-Knowing Eye can acquire information, the more information it knows, the greater the energy it consumes.

Therefore, it can only answer questions, but never truly broaden one's knowledge.

Rosen directly integrated the Nightmare Dragon Spider's memories into the Omniscient Bookshelf, allowing the memories of countless years to be presented to him through refined text, enabling him to quickly read hundreds of trillions of refined texts and understand all the secrets the Nightmare Dragon Spider knew.

With time accelerated a thousand times, it took Rosen a real year to put down the book he was holding.

His secret brass book records many unknown secrets, and his eternal history book records countless lost histories.

However, none of these were the biggest gains. Rosen's biggest gain was learning a secret.

This secret was hidden very deeply by the Nightmare Dragon Spider; it even encrypted it multiple times within its own memories.

Without meeting the trigger conditions, the Nightmare Dragon Spider itself cannot recall this part of its memory.

If it weren't for the omniscient bookshelf, Rosen wouldn't have been able to uncover the secrets contained within this part of the vast memory spanning hundreds of thousands of years.

The Nightmare Dragon Spider has the ability to advance to the level of a forbidden evil god, but it remains at the level of a true god and has not made any further progress.

The Nightmare Dragon Spider discovered something: the entire new world is a pasture formed by the ancient gods in the form of all things. This is an open secret known to all the gods. But since it is a pasture, what kind of livestock is qualified to be sold?

For a giant, eating an ant would obviously not be enough to satisfy its hunger or provide any nutrition.

The same applies to the ancient gods; only forbidden gods and immortal gods are truly qualified livestock to be sold.

As for true gods and deities, they are merely cubs that haven't reached the age of adulthood.

The Nightmare Dragon Spider discovered a secret deep within the Spirit Realm: there were civilizations deep within the Spirit Realm that had never appeared in its memory, yet the existence time recorded within these civilizations clearly fell within its own lifetime.

This means that the Nightmare Dragon Spider, which has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, discovered an unknown civilization that perished tens of thousands of years ago deep in the spirit world.

A civilization that can be revived in the depths of the spirit world must at least have a true god.

A civilization with a true god would surely have heard of the Nightmare Dragon Spider and have no recollection of it.

Even more terrifying is that the Nightmare Dragon Spider secretly investigated and questioned other true gods. It did not have the memories of some civilizations in the last few hundred thousand years, but other true gods and evil gods actually had these memories. Therefore, it is inevitable that one of them, or the others, had a problem with their memories.

The Nightmare Dragon Spider clearly believed that it was fine; if it was fine, then everyone else must be the problem.

It's probably something even a great god couldn't do to cause so many true gods' memories to be disrupted at the same time.

Finally, when the Nightmare Dragon Spider subtly discovered that the Great True God's memories from the last few hundred thousand years differed somewhat from his own, the Nightmare Dragon Spider dared not investigate further, because it knew that even the world's will could not do such a thing.
