Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 377 The Fourth Calamity and the Descent of the Great True God

Chapter 376

The Sea Demon Empire of the Pantheon Seas is a very rare underwater civilization in the Old World.

Therefore, in the Wanshenshan Sea Area, the Sea Demon Dynasty became the guardian of the entrance to the Wanshenshan Sea Area.

Because of the deterrence of the dozens of great true gods in the Old World, the various races of the New World dared not easily venture into the Pantheon Sea to test their strength.

Therefore, over the years, the Sea Demon Celestial Empire has been generally peaceful.

However, that is all in the past. Now, the Sea Demon Empire is littered with corpses.

All the aquatic life forms of the Sea Demon Dynasty were wiped out by several true gods working together.

The Sea Demon Emperor calmly pushed aside the desiccated corpse beside him, even though this corpse had once been his favorite minister.

As true gods, they were all short-lived and extremely weak at the level of true gods. They were also subject to the power of the nation's destiny, and the strength of the nation's destiny depended on all life in the Sea Demon Dynasty.

If all the ordinary aquatic creatures in the Sea Demon Dynasty were to perish, the nation's fortunes would decline to their lowest point.

As a result, the power of the divine position will also weaken to the extreme. At this time, the power brought by the divine position in the Sea Demon Emperor's body is no longer at the level of a true god, but only at the level of a deity. Moreover, this blessing from the divine position is constantly weakening.

The Sea Demon Emperor casually stripped the divine position from his body and then discarded it like trash.

He no longer needed a divine position. By using the player sequence hidden in the virtual divine status, He successfully upgraded His own Sequence 3 Siren sequence to Sequence 0 at the cost of killing half of the population of the Siren Dynasty.

With the help of the magical artifacts passed down through generations of the sea monster clan, he successfully created his own personal divine kingdom.

Although it is much weaker than at its peak, this divine power truly belongs to it.

The Sea Demon Emperor had also considered that the mysteriously appearing virtual divine status was also an external force similar to a divine position.

However, after trying it, I found that this was not the case. Virtual deities may indeed have hidden dangers, but the experience points gained from hunting life with virtual deities are a permanent enhancement to the body, bloodline, soul, and spirituality.

Even if there are problems with the virtual deity, we can simply abandon it in the future.

Although there are still some risks, how can you not take risks if you want to reap rewards?

The Sea Demon Emperor has made up his mind to join the Pantheon immediately after escaping the Pantheon Sea, and then wait for the opportunity to participate in the fate grabbing among the gods, while also secretly attacking the lives of various races, and using the virtual divine status to improve his strength as much as possible.

Only in this way can one possibly survive in this apocalyptic world where everything is destroyed.

If they continue to stay in the Sea Demon Dynasty and fight against the true gods of various races, they will only become cannon fodder for those holy emperors. If any true god infiltrates the Sea Demon Dynasty, it would be too easy for them to destroy the aquatic races below the level of gods with the power of a true god.

The weaknesses of the divine system are too obvious, which is why the Sea Demon Emperor was determined to rebel against the Myriad Gods Mountain Sea Region.

The Sea Demon Emperor arrived at the edge of the Wanshen Mountain sea area, where a barrier has now been set up by the great true gods.

To pass through the barrier, you need to wait for all the other players to arrive.

The virtual deity comes with a player channel, allowing players to communicate, team up, and trade with each other.

Judging by the time, the other players should be arriving soon, based on their distance.

They communicated in advance through the player channel, agreeing on the time to destroy their respective celestial civilizations, ensuring that they could gather here at the same time, then join forces to tear open the barrier and enter the new world, thus gaining complete freedom and no longer becoming cannon fodder.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of players had gathered around the Sea Demon Emperor.

There are strong and weak players, because not all players are ruthless enough to exterminate all life in the entire Celestial Empire.

Some people planned to take the religious route, so they used the treasures of their respective celestial dynasties to take away a portion of the population.

If experience points are really needed, there are other ways to improve them even if we leave the Pantheon Sea area.

The team-up feature allows hundreds of players to form a team.

Just then, Rosen emerged from the mysterious study and appeared out of nowhere in front of the players.

He made no attempt to conceal his identity, and all the players immediately recognized who Rosen was.

After all, there are no more than a thousand people with the power of a true god in the old and new worlds, and the basic information of each person is not a secret.

"Is the virtual deity related to you?"

The demigod of the Later Ming Dynasty, who had been observing Rosen for some time, looked at him with surprise and asked.

"long time no see!"

Rosen greeted him with a smile, "The virtual godhood is indeed related to me. The ultimate ownership of the virtual godhood is in my hands. Half of the experience points gained by all players from hunting prey will flow to me through the virtual godhood. I think you can bear this price."

You are the first batch of players, but you will not be the last.

Beware of the world's will; becoming a player means standing on the opposite side of the world's will.

If you want to withdraw now, it's not too late to relinquish your virtual godhood.

No one quit; in fact, many players breathed a sigh of relief.

Those true gods who were determined not to become players have long been eliminated by Rosen.

The rest had already been thought out, otherwise I wouldn't have come here at all.

A magical brush appeared in Rosen's hand, and in the blink of an eye, he drew a door on the barrier.

It mimicked seven-tenths of the power of the interdimensional portal; once the portal was opened, one could already see outside the barrier.

All players filed through the door and dispersed to their respective hiding places the instant they left the Pantheon Sea.

With the situation in the Pantheon Sea settled, Rosen began distributing virtual divine titles to the gods of various races.

This part is very easy to distribute; it can be sent directly via data transmission.

They chose gods who were in bad circumstances and were willing to take risks.

Although creating a virtual deity is not difficult, it still requires consuming a certain amount of eternal essence.

Therefore, Rosen stopped producing 3,000 units, as producing any more would affect its own growth needs.

However, even though only three thousand virtual deities were sent out, the three thousand players still stirred up waves of bloodshed in the new world.

The first to suffer are the weaker groups, those races without the protection of a true god.

Almost every few days, a race is completely wiped out in the New World.

Over time, even though the players were very careful and always eliminated the threat completely, their existence was still exposed. Even a great god personally took action to capture the players, but even a great god could not do anything to the three thousand players.

Because Rosen was keeping a close eye on the movements of the Great God, he granted players data transfer permissions in advance.

This directly enraged the World Will, which went so far as to offer bounties to all the great true gods and true gods for the players.

Killing just one player can offset part of the cause and effect.

Suddenly, the player is surrounded by enemies, and data transmission requires early detection of danger in order to escape.

If players fall directly into the trap, the God Network will be cut off and data transmission will fail, leaving them with no way out but death. As more and more players are hunted down, the remaining players become more and more cautious, and even begin to band together to fight back against the true gods of various races.

Gradually, some players successfully ascended to the level of True God, and the entire new world descended into complete chaos around the remaining players.

However, overall, the number of players is decreasing, but the number of potential players is increasing.

The players' terrifying growth rate was witnessed by the true gods who hunted them.

Even if I'm worried about the potential dangers of using virtual deities right now, it doesn't stop me from keeping it as a treasure and seeing how it goes.

When a true god merges his divine avatar with a virtual godhood, and then, with the help of his true self, frantically hunts down all races, his divine avatar ascends to the rank of true god in a short period of time, and then the truth is exposed, the other true gods can no longer sit still.

Once you reach the level of a true god, it takes a long time to accumulate strength to continue improving.

Even a tiny improvement every few hundred or thousand years is enough to satisfy the vast majority of true gods.

Everyone knows that the future struggle for destiny among true gods will inevitably be a life-or-death battle, so every true god is doing their utmost to improve their strength.

The true god can continue to improve through the capture of fate, but the divine avatars of the true god cannot.

Now, virtual divine status allows divine avatars to grow rapidly. Each additional divine avatar with the strength of a true god is twice as helpful to the main body. If several divine avatars can become true gods with the help of virtual divine status, how great will the benefits of destiny capture be in the future?
If the initial hunting of players was due to the bounty offered by the world's will, the subsequent hunting of players was to seize virtual godhood.

The bounty offered by the world's will has become a joke. If a bounty can be offered on three thousand gods, how could a bounty be offered on a true god?

All the true gods participated in the hunt for the players, and each true god possessed a virtual divine essence.

Only the Great True God can take away the virtual divine status from the True God.

However, if a true god dies at the hands of a great true god, the Bound by Fate cannot take effect, because the prerequisite for the Bound by Fate is that it only works at the same level. Helpless, the world will sealed in the old continent had to stop offering bounties. Without the suppression of the world will, the players in the new world became even more unscrupulous.

Within a few decades, civilizations and races without the protection of a true god will be completely wiped out.

Just as the situation in the new world was becoming increasingly chaotic, a new development brought calm to the chaotic situation.

The Holy Emperors of the Holy Court in the Pantheon Sea successfully transformed the power they possessed into extraordinary magical potion sequences that were more compatible with the new world. The world's will no longer suppress the Great True Gods, and all the Great True Gods no longer needed to sneak around; they could now walk openly and legitimately outside.

The players who were originally rampaging were directly suppressed by the great true gods who came out of the Pantheon Mountain Sea.

Players can no longer easily slaughter weaker groups, and the great true god has not exterminated players who have mastered virtual divinity.

Rosen's all-seeing magic eye saw it clearly: this was a deal reached between the world's will and those great true gods.

Give up suppressing them in exchange for them stopping the player from continuing to slaughter the races of the main world.

This also means that the world's will is about to break free from its seal.

The core reason why the world's will is sealed is that the vast majority of its power is used to suppress the great true god.

Now that suppression is no longer necessary, the world government has no way of continuing to seal the world's will.

However, this does not mean that the World Will is unstoppable. Many great true gods have reached an agreement with the World Will that even if the World Will breaks free, it cannot directly interfere with anything outside the Spirit Realm. Otherwise, all the great true gods will join forces to kill the World Will first.

Before the world's will could escape its predicament, nearly a hundred great true gods had already emerged in the new world.

Their total number was not much less than that of the true gods, and these great true gods directly divided up the entire new world.

The once supreme gods of the World Government have lost their rule over the World Government in the blink of an eye.

In the new world ruled by many great true gods, a strange peace was temporarily established.

Because all the great true gods are encouraging the various races in their respective territories to reproduce wildly, resulting in an ever-increasing number of newborns, completely disregarding the immense pressure this growing population will place on resource demands.

In the mysterious study, Rosen looked out the window, feeling somewhat uneasy.

His all-knowing magic eye could still see information related to the great true gods, but he didn't know why those great true gods encouraged childbirth to increase the population. It was as if all information related to this matter had been encrypted, which even his all-knowing magic eye couldn't see.

This means that an immortal god or demon level power has personally intervened, and what they are guarding against is his omniscient demonic eye.

The more guarded they are, the deeper the conspiracy hidden behind it.

Upon closer examination, the world's will's reaction seems off.

When players first appeared, the world's will began to stop them from slaughtering weaker groups at all costs.

Logically, the rapid growth of three thousand players should be beneficial for the "Fate Capture" tactic.

After all, the more gods and true gods are born, the better the effect of fate's plunder will be.

Even if the World Will wanted to eliminate the players, it should have waited until it discovered that the Virtual Godhood could plunder the Eternal Origin and that the Virtual Godhood was undermining the Ancient Gods. Only then would the World Will eliminate the players without regard to the cost.

However, from the very beginning, the world's will has been offering crazy bounties to players.

Even the great true gods who were later revealed protected the lives of all races and encouraged reproduction to increase the population.

Something unusual must be going on, and Rosen's intuition told him that this was not good for him.

The simplest way to find out what secrets those great true gods are hiding is to find out from them.

The Arcane Empire is a civilization established not long after the Arcane Emperor's founding.

The moment Rosen appeared in the Arcane Empire, he was immediately discovered by the Arcane Emperor, despite his complete lack of disguise.

The Arcane Emperor didn't take direct action; no one would willingly destroy their new home.

Seeing that Rosen showed no intention of making a move, the Arcane Emperor had no choice but to send someone to invite him to the Imperial Palace.

In the palace gardens, the Arcane Emperor looked at Rosen with a headache.

"I'd like to know why we should encourage childbirth to increase the population?"

Rosen asked directly.

"I can't tell you."

The Arcane Emperor flatly refused to answer.

Without saying a word, Rosen's body began to disintegrate, and the well-informed Arcane Emperor almost ground his teeth to dust.

The Annihilation of All Directions is at least comparable to the Annihilation of All Directions at the peak of a true god.

Even if you don't die from that hit, you'll be crippled. Rosen is going all out from the start.

"I am bound by a certain oath and cannot tell the truth."

The Arcane Emperor explained helplessly.

"I'm not sure where to travel lately, could you give me some suggestions?"

Rosen asked, "I have resolved the annihilation of all directions."

"I heard that hell is quite lively lately."

The Arcane Emperor pondered for a moment before answering.

Rosen got the clue he wanted, and the data transmission left without hesitation.

This time, he has completely offended the Arcane Emperor. From now on, the Arcane Emperor will not miss any opportunity to kill him.

Returning to his mysterious study on the Eternal Continent, Rosen's omniscient magic eye gazes upon Hell.

Upon closer inspection, he found that all the evil gods were too normal.

Evil gods increase their power by absorbing the fears and negative beliefs of all living beings, because the resentment of all living beings can strengthen the power of the source of evil gods. However, conversely, if the power of the source of evil gods becomes too strong, so strong that the evil gods cannot control it, the wise evil gods will also lose their wisdom as a result.

Therefore, the evil god must both strengthen the source of evil gods and prevent the source of evil gods from getting out of control.

The recent racial casualties in the New World have generated considerable resentment among the people.

However, upon closer reflection, the evil god of hell did not take the opportunity to interfere.

Moreover, it was not seen that any evil god had lost its wisdom due to absorbing too much negative faith in recent years. It was as if the source of all evil gods had not been affected in the slightest by the resentment of sentient beings.

However, the resentment of all living beings will not disappear into thin air. If the evil god did not bear the burden, then it must have been borne by other beings.

In that instant, Rosen realized a possibility: all the unusual behaviors of the world's will and the many great true gods could be explained.

Is it possible for the world's will to harbor disloyal intentions?

The answer is, of course, it is possible. The world's will is a steward created by the ancient gods to shepherd all living beings.

Even if the ancient gods left various contingency plans for the world's will, and various means to prevent the world's will from betraying it and developing its own consciousness, over the long course of time, any means may fail or go wrong.

The greatest hatred cannot be created by death.

Only when life is worse than death can hatred be generated to its fullest extent.

This is why the cults of evil gods are so cruel, bloodthirsty, and adept at torture and killing.

Players directly destroy various weaker races, but the resulting resentment among the beings is not as great as one might imagine.

That's why the world's will is anxious and will stop players from killing indiscriminately at any cost.

The great true God later encouraged births to increase the population because the more people there are, the more resentment will be generated among all living beings. As the population of the new world increases and resources decrease, and as survival becomes increasingly difficult, people will have to rack their brains to survive.

In such circumstances, the lives of all races are worse than death, which will generate the greatest number of resentful thoughts among all living beings.

Even immortal gods and demons are but tiny ants before eternal life. The resentment of all living beings is the only known power that can directly threaten the ancient gods. Of course, the resentment of all living beings alone is not enough. Only when the resentment of all living beings is combined with the dark sun of the old world can it truly threaten the ancient gods.

It is quite obvious that the world's will is very likely on the opposite side of the ancient gods.

Of course, this is not absolute, because the world's will may also be deceiving many great true gods, seemingly standing on the opposite side of the ancient gods, but in reality, everything it does is just an act. It is difficult to completely determine the truth until the very last moment.

Regardless of which side the world's will is on, only those with absolute strength are qualified to play the game.

If you don't want to be a pawn, you have to become a player.

Rosen can advance to True God at any time, but before that, he needs to use up the Ten Directions Annihilation. His Ancient God Body can only become stronger by experiencing the destruction and rebirth of the Ten Directions Annihilation, and at the same time, he can also obtain a drop of Ancient God True Blood.
