Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 389 The True Universe and the Eternal Origin Source

Chapter 388

Chess Kingdom is a very special kingdom in the King's Continent.

This is the last kingdom that Rosen has his eye on. After destroying this kingdom, both the Miracle Tarot and the Eternal Flame will undergo their final transformation. However, the Time Script cannot destroy the Chess Kingdom.

In the Kingdom of Chess, only the Chess King possesses a complete divine self-awareness.

Everyone else, whether royalty or nobles, was the same as ordinary people. From birth, they had their individuality erased, and then were assigned different roles based on their talents, instilled with different memories, and transformed into living pawns.

The duke's eldest son was not the heir; he lived in the same environment and received the same treatment as the miners' sons.

If someone has exceptional talent, they might become the new duke. If they don't have good talent, the duke's eldest son will be sent to work in the mines. Conversely, if a miner's son has good enough talent, he will become the new duke's heir.

What determines one's status is not identity or bloodline, but talent and the strength gained during the growth process.

The entire Warcraft Kingdom is a cold chessboard and a machine called the Kingdom.

If a strategy kingdom exists in the new world, such a kingdom will inevitably perish sooner or later.

Because life has no self, it has no creativity and no faith.

Without faith, gods cannot be born, and such a civilization has no future.

However, in the King's Continent, you can kill monsters to level up. From Sequence 1 to God, you don't need faith. You only need to kill monsters to level up and gain experience to condense a godhood. In this case, the Chess Kingdom becomes a terrifying war machine.

Even more terrifying is that the King of Chess left behind a chessboard, which is a miraculous treasure of the level of a great true god.

Using this chessboard, one can manipulate the fate of everyone in the kingdom as if they were chess pieces.

Although the time-based script was strengthened by the unity of all, it could not shake the fate of a group of pieces.

Even the corruption and depravity of degenerate scholars have no effect on these pawns, because a pawn without a self cannot generate positive or negative emotions, nor can it become corrupt at the level of human self.

Logically speaking, Rosen should have tried to avoid this chess kingdom.

With a total of 108 kingdoms, the easy ones are definitely easier to eat than the hard ones.

However, after learning more about it, Rosen still decided to attack the Chess Kingdom.

He not only wanted the chessboard-shaped miracle artifact, but he also wanted to gain control of the War Chess King and turn all the pieces controlled by the War Chess King into his own, because he feared that sooner or later he would encounter the source of eternal corruption.

At that time, these pieces might play a significant role.

Since the goal is to conquer the pieces rather than destroy them, it's natural not to destroy the chess kingdom to weaken the king.

Therefore, the only option is to employ a decapitation tactic, directly confronting the chess king at his peak.

The entire Chess Royal City, when viewed from above, resembles a giant chessboard.

At the very center of the chessboard stands the magnificent War Chess Palace.

All buildings in the Chess Kingdom are designed for practicality, with not a single trace of art or extravagance.

The only palace that Rosen had ever seen was the War Chess Palace.

Clearly, while the King of the Chess game doesn't allow his subjects to have a sense of self, he himself still enjoys extravagance and luxury.

Under the all-knowing magic eye's thorough investigation, Rosen finally found the sleeping place of the chess king.

It's not in the royal palace or castle, but on the head of the king's statue in the square in front of the palace.

As soon as the King of Chess awakens, he will be able to look down upon the entire royal city through the towering statue.

In the mysterious study, all the furniture and furnishings vanished in the blink of an eye.

The portal carefully adjusted its position and soon passed through the layers of sealing barriers inside the king statue, entering its interior.

The Chess King has been transformed into a statue chess piece with a round base at his feet. He, the giant king statue, and the entire Chess Royal City form a unified whole. To harm or take away the Chess King, one must destroy the entire Chess Royal City and the king statue.

Even while they were sealed and asleep, these kings had taken all possible safety precautions.

If it were someone else, they might really have no way to deal with the King of Chess.

However, Rosen was different; he began to gradually mimic the divine essence of the King of the Chess Game.

The King of Chess was forced into slumber, but the seal was placed on his own initiative to protect himself.

If it awakens, the seal will lose its purpose.

If the seal is too difficult to break, it could very well lead to the person being trapped by their own seal after waking up.

So despite the incredible strength of the seal, it's not very difficult to break.

Ideally, the seals around the King of Chess should be lifted instantly. The fastest way to lift the seals is to use one's own divine essence as the key. At this moment, the divine essence replicated by Rosen instantly broke free from the world window and lifted the seal.

All seals collapsed instantly, and the ancient god's shackles that Rosen threw out from the Window of the World bound the War Chess King.

Before the King of Warcraft could even awaken, he had already been dragged into the mysterious study by the shackles of the ancient gods.

The moment the King of Chess fully awoke, he snapped the shackles of the ancient gods.

Then he punched Window of the World, but could only make it tremble a few times.

The Mysterious Study is an immortal world, a world of miracles, and an immortal world that is extremely compressed and condensed. In the past, without the world's origin, there was a possibility that it could be destroyed by the Great True God. Now that it has been restored to its complete state by merging with the world's origin, the Great True God simply cannot destroy it.

Even immortal gods and demons would not be able to destroy the mysterious study in a short time.

Because the mysterious study has very limited space, and there is no deep void to withstand its destructive power.

The aftershock of the King of Chess's full-force punch to the Window of the World bounced back and forth after hitting the wall in the Mysterious Study. Rosen seized the opportunity and used Dragon God's Wrath to lock onto the King of Chess and unleash a Dragon God's Roar.

The Royal Sword that flashed in Rosen's right hand clashed repeatedly with the fist of the War Chess King, which was gathering the nation's destiny.

As for the Dragon God's Wrath, it lurked in the corner of the room, continuously unleashing Dragon God's Roar Bullets.

As both sides clashed with all their might, the King of Warcraft quickly fell into a complete disadvantage.

Because the space in the mysterious study is limited, but the divine energy released by the two sides in their battle is increasing, the mysterious study is now like a sealed pressure cooker, and the divine energy released by both sides is like more and more high-pressure steam.

If the mysterious study doesn't burst, the pressure on Rosen and the King of Chess will only increase.

In the end, it will definitely be the King of Chess who dies, because His divine body cannot be stronger than Rosen's.

Moreover, the Mysterious Study severed the connection between the King of Chess and the King of Chess. The Mysterious Study provided no energy for the King of Chess to draw upon for replenishment, nor did it contain any laws that allowed the King of Chess to draw upon external forces. Therefore, even the power of the Great True God was difficult for Him to maintain for long.

So much so that in less than half an hour of fighting, the War Chess King had already been beheaded by Rosen.

After sealing and imprisoning the defeated War Chess King, Rosen couldn't wait to leave the mysterious study. He then transformed into the War Chess King, successfully taking over the rule of the entire War Chess Kingdom, and then packed up the entire War Chess Kingdom and took it away.

It was during this process that he discovered why the King of Chess hadn't used that great divine miracle artifact.

Because the entire chess royal city is actually located on the chessboard.

If Rosen hadn't tricked the War Chess King into entering the mysterious study by breaking the seal, he might not have been able to defeat the War Chess King in a real battle in the War Chess Royal City. This is the advantage of knowing your enemy and using a sneak attack.

Soon the entire Chess King City shrank to the size of a palm and fell into Rosen's hands, where he began to remove the divine essence of the Chess King.

After removing it, Rosen did not refine it but handed it over to the Miracle Stone Man.

【Strategy Board: World of Miracles】

[Rank: Great True God]

[Miracle Attribute: When deployed, the chessboard can include everything within its range.]

[Miracle Traits: Battlegrounds Assimilation, Battlegrounds Mindset, Battlegrounds Rules]

After Rosen washed away Eternity and Immortality and Uniqueness of Heaven and Earth with Eternal Holy Radiance, he handed them over to the Miracle Stone Man to refine and master.

The Chess Assimilation can transform enemy and ally lives into chess pieces; the Chess Mind can erase the divine self; and the Chess Rules can create its own rules for playing chess. Only with this Chess board did the Miracle Stone Golem truly possess the combat power of a great god.

While Miracle Stone Man was busy, Rosen had already begun executing the Chess King on the King's Continent.

At the moment of His fall, the King of Cups Miracle Tarot card began to undergo a qualitative change. The eternal flame, which originated from the Miracle Flame, also began to transform into the source of the eternal flame.

【The Emperor of Cups: Miracle Tarot】

[Rank: Great True God]

[Miracle Attribute: The King of Cups can create and control all Minor Arcana cards]

[Miracle Traits: Grail Crown, Imperial Sword, Primal Grail, Grail Empire]

A king becomes an emperor, a kingdom becomes an empire. The laws of royal power are elevated to the laws of imperial power.

Rosen could clearly feel that the King Sequence he had mastered was beginning to transform into the Emperor Sequence, and the enhancement of his strength brought by the Emperor Sequence had raised his divine origin from the True God level to the Great True God level.

If we add the double enhancement from the ancient god's sacrificial artifact, his divine essence has been enhanced to the limit of 182 points.

This has already surpassed the boundaries of a great true god, and has definitely entered the level of an immortal god or demon.

Although it is only the divine origin, it does not yet possess the necessary skills and abilities.

However, at the level of the Great True God, the terrifying power brought by 182 points of divine origin is enough to defeat all forbidden gods and demons.

But this is not Rosen's limit, because the eternal flame has begun to merge into the eternal root.

With the compatibility of the tenth eternal source, the eternal source began to develop its own unique characteristics.

At the moment when Rosen's divine consciousness underwent a qualitative change at the Eternal Root, he actually broke away from the King's Game and even further broke away from the old and new worlds created by the ancient gods. Then, at that moment, he saw the true face of the universe beyond the old and new worlds for the first time.

The universe outside the new world was not composed of countless stars as he had imagined.

Instead, it is an endless void and an endless source. The moment the divine consciousness came into contact with these sources, it understood that this was the purest source of the world. Its level was not very high, only at the level of a true god, but its quantity was infinite.

The energy that the Lesser World Tree drew from outside the New World in the past must have been the inexhaustible source of these worlds.

However, since the New World was in between, the most essential part of the World Origin that the Little World Tree absorbed was actually intercepted by the New World. What the Little World Tree got was just the leftovers from the New World.

Living in the vast and endless void of the universe, even a pig can become a true god as long as it doesn't die.

This is understandable, as those great true gods and immortal gods and demons all yearn to transcend to a new world.

He was able to transcend the eternal origin and make his divine consciousness break away from the new world and come into contact with the cosmic void when the eternal origin underwent a qualitative change. Immortal gods and demons at the level of revelation can certainly do the same, which is why they firmly believe that transcending the new world will bring them freedom.

Just as Rosen's divine consciousness continued to traverse the void of the universe, he suddenly witnessed an extremely terrifying scene.

Around the new world, countless cosmic behemoths live in the void of space.

The weakest of these behemoths are forbidden gods and demons, while the stronger ones are immortal gods and demons. These cosmic behemoths surround the new world layer by layer. Even if the great true gods manage to escape the new world, they will likely face the same threat posed by these cosmic behemoths.

Rosen's divine consciousness then traversed the void of the universe for an unknown period of time.

It seemed as if he had experienced an endless, long period of time, yet it also seemed as if only a fleeting moment had passed.

Finally, his divine consciousness arrived at the origin of the cosmic void. What was there here was no longer the world origin at the level of a true god, but a pure eternal origin at the level of eternity without any specific attributes. The endless eternal origin began to sublimate into the eternal root along with his divine consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, Rosen's divine consciousness had returned to his eternal divinity.

Everything that just happened was merely a fleeting moment of the past reality.

However, the Eternal Root, which was originally extremely unstable due to its compatibility with ten Eternal Origins, has completely transformed into an Eternal Origin and developed its own unique characteristics. Many of the original ten Eternal Origins that it was compatible with have disappeared.

Each eternal source has its own unique characteristics.

The strongest known source is the Eternal Evolutionary Origin, and the Dark Origin originates from the Eternal Evolutionary Origin.

Rosen's eternal roots are divided into two parts: roots and sources.

First, there is the source, which allows everything to return to its original state.

Then there are roots, which enable all things to take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit.

Rosen carefully sensed the Eternal Divine Essence, and the four eternal origins of compatibility, plunder, evolution, and mimicry completely disappeared.

These four eternal sources have all become nourishment for the eternal root.

Everything has a source, and the source of the eternal origin is the eternal origin seed.

Only by mastering the eternal source can one truly master an eternal source.

Otherwise, even if one possesses a portion of the eternal origin, it could be taken away at any time if one encounters the source of the eternal origin.

The four eternal sources that Rosen lost all have their corresponding source species that have owners.

If we continue to grasp these four eternal principles, we will only be subject to others in the future.

The remaining six eternal origins—Degeneration, Game, Flame, Miracle, Dark Sun, and Omniscience—have not been devoured by the source seeds of the eternal origin because their source seeds are still in a state of being unclaimed. Once the source seeds are found, these six eternal origins can be completely mastered.

Rosen activated the power of the Eternal Root Seed, attempting to return the six eternal origins to their original state.

He immediately sensed that the source of depravity and games lay in the King's Game.

However, we cannot yet determine its exact location.

Then there's the source of the Flame and the Miracle. The source of the Flame is actually the Miracle Flame, but this source seems to have been severely damaged. As for the source of the Miracle, it's actually inside his body. The Miracle Sequence is the source, but it's also severely damaged, just like the Flame source.

As long as we keep strengthening the Eternal Flame and continuously improve the Miracle Sequence, we will eventually master these two source species.

Rosen continued to sense the Dark Sun and the Omniscient. Judging from the location of the Dark Sun, the Source Seed should be in the Old World.

As for the Omniscient Source Seed, it had already shattered. One fragment of the Source Seed merged into the Omniscient Demon Eye, another fragment merged into the Omniscient Bookshelf in the Mysterious Study, and the remaining parts were scattered in the New World and controlled by different beings.

Knowing the general whereabouts of all the source species, it became much easier for Rosen to acquire them.

However, upon further reflection, Rosen felt rather heavy-hearted.

These source species that don't yet have a master are easy to deal with, but the four source species that already have a master are the real threat.

The compatible source species are definitely with the World Tree, while the plundering source species are definitely under the control of the Ancient Gods.

But Rosen was a little unsure about the remaining evolution and mimicry.

Sensing the eternal divine essence, Rosen was somewhat troubled.

Without the eternal mimicry, his origin sequence and finite omniscience and omnipotence are almost useless.

Almost, rather than completely, suggests that there is still room for improvement.

Rosen has previously mimicked various sequences, and the prerequisite for mimicry is a certain understanding of a sequence.

How do we understand this? Of course, through extraordinary source matter, through divinity, and through contact.

Rosen extracted a point of Eternal Root from the Source Seed, and then injected all his knowledge of the Painter Sequence into the Eternal Root. As soon as the Eternal Root absorbed all the knowledge of the Painter Sequence, it immediately began to take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit.

The final Painter Sequence Root Fruit that grows merges with the Eternal Root Source Seed and becomes indistinguishable from it.

Through the Eternal Root Source Seed, Rosen can use all the abilities of the Painter Sequence Root Fruit.

Soon, the Nobles and Hunters also began to grow Root Fruits.

Rosen spent several years working at a thousand times the speed of time to convert all the extraordinary sequences he knew into root source seeds, and then integrated them all into the eternal root source seed. In the future, if he wanted to use the abilities of these extraordinary sequences, he would not need to mimic them and could use them directly.

Because of the Eternal Root, Rosen essentially possesses all these extraordinary sequences simultaneously.

If he so desires, he can even return some disdainful extraordinary sequences to their origins, turning them into nourishment for other extraordinary sequences, allowing the root fruits of those sequences to grow even stronger—far more powerful than the mimicry of the past.

The source seed of the eternal origin fused with the extraordinary sequence, and Rosen then began to fuse with the laws.

He discovered that all the laws of the new world he had mastered originated from the eternal source of the ancient gods.

Now that he has returned to his origin, taken root, sprouted, blossomed, and borne fruit, the source of the laws he has mastered will become the Eternal Root Source Seed. He can even secretly use the Eternal Root Source Seed to destroy various laws and then let new laws originating from his own source seed take their place.

If we could replace all the laws of the new world, we might be able to harm the ancient gods while they are asleep.
