Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 403 The Mysterious Dark Sea Civilization and Cosmic Speculation
Chapter 402

On the battlefield at dusk, nearly all of the original hundreds of civilizations had been destroyed in years of fighting.

Of the civilizations that are still persisting today, there is only one civilization facing its first catastrophe, two civilizations facing their eighth catastrophe, three civilizations facing their seventh catastrophe, one civilization facing its sixth catastrophe, and one civilization facing its fourth catastrophe. These eight civilizations are listed in order of their strength.

If we say that the fourth and sixth tribulation civilizations both fought against civilizations with lower tribulations, and then, through a series of near-death experiences, grew to the point of being unafraid of the eighth tribulation civilization by using the Twilight Battlefield, then we can say that both civilizations fought against civilizations with lower tribulations.

The Dark Sea Civilization, the only civilization to suffer a catastrophe, was the one that crushed its way to becoming the strongest civilization from the very beginning.

All civilizations that clashed with the Dark Sea Civilization, even the Seven Tribulations Civilization, suffered a crushing defeat.

Rosen had been so busy for years that he hadn't paid attention to the Twilight Battlefield, never expecting that it harbored monsters like the Dark Sea Civilization.

This civilization appeared very strangely. Before entering the King's Game, it awakened three First Tribulation civilizations and started the Twilight War. According to its authority settings, when only one First Tribulation civilization remained, the sealed Second Tribulation civilization would be released from its seal.

However, the Dark Sea Civilization was not among the three First Tribulation Civilizations that he unsealed back then.

It was as if it appeared out of nowhere after the start of the Twilight War.

Moreover, the words "Dark Sea" in the Dark Sea Civilization reminded Rosen of the Primal Dark Sea mentioned in Doomsday Ark.

The Twilight War in Twilight Battlefield, like King's Game, involves raising venomous creatures, but the methods of doing so are quite different.

The Twilight War is stronger than the King's Game. The power gained from killing monsters and leveling up in the King's Game is actually much weaker outside the game's scope. The kings of those kingdoms are great true gods in the King's Continent, but outside the King's Continent, they are just slightly stronger true gods.

Power that is not earned through one's own arduous cultivation can never truly become one's own.

However, the Twilight Battlefield is different. There is no leveling up by killing monsters here, but when one civilization completely destroys another, the surviving victors will experience explosive growth in a short period of time. This growth has a very solid foundation, and some true gods have already used it to advance to the level of great true gods.

Even two of the great true gods of the eight tribulations civilizations have reached the limit of great true gods and are qualified to advance to immortal gods and demons.

The rapid growth they achieved is actually closely related to the Dark Sea civilization.

The Twilight War, which was originally expected to last at least several hundred years, has accelerated due to the terrifying strength of the Dark Sea Civilization. Other civilizations, including the two Eight Tribulation Civilizations, have also accelerated the pace of the war, and it is estimated that the Twilight War will end in a few decades.

Conservative estimates suggest that a civilization at the peak of the Ninth Tribulation will emerge from the Twilight Battlefield.

All that's needed is to survive the final catastrophe of civilization, and then we can escape the new world.

The more Rosen looked at the battlefield at dusk, the more he felt something was wrong.

Before he entered the King's Game, he had 52% control of the Twilight Battlefield. Over the years, he has gained much more control because defeated civilizations often do not want to use their control to destroy their rival civilizations.

So he handed over all these controls to him before he died, and now he has 61% control.

With such a high level of control, he should know everything that happened on the Twilight Battlefield.

Although he was busy with the King's Game, he shouldn't have overlooked the unusual events occurring in the Twilight Battlefield. Unless some force caused him to ignore the Twilight Battlefield, these anomalies must be related to the Dark Sea Civilization.

With the authority he controlled, Rosen observed the Dark Sea civilization on the battlefield from a god-like perspective.

The entire Dark Sea civilization is a giant black water sphere. When it collides with other civilizations, the water sphere simply crushes them. As for what is hidden inside the giant water sphere, it is unknown. Perhaps the remaining civilizations will have to test its true nature.

Rosen immediately dispatched an eternal clone to monitor the changes on the battlefield using his control over the Twilight Battlefield.

He then took out all the great true god-level miracle treasures he possessed from the mysterious study.

The Main God Computer, Doomsday Ark, Horror Paradise, Wargame Board, Disordered Pointers, Wireless Signal Tower, Bio-Alchemy Manual, God's Cross, and even strictly speaking, the Void Realm Eye Technique and the Omniscient Demon Eye are all physical entities at the level of great true gods.

All of these can be integrated into the sequence of miracles, thereby gaining further mastery over these miraculous treasures.

Eye techniques are ruled out first, as the two eye techniques plus the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye have all been perfectly integrated by the Eye of the Creator.

The strategy board is also out of the question; it's more suitable for the Miracle Golem.

The Bio-Alchemy Manual leans towards support roles, but he has no shortage of support.

Infinite signal towers are also out of the question; he can't very well set up the God Network in the endless universe outside the New World.

There aren't many options left: the Main God Computer, Doomsday Ark, Horror Paradise, and Disordered Pointers.

Each of these has its own advantages, and he wants to integrate each one into the sequence of miracles.

After careful consideration, Rosen also ruled out Horror Park, as it contained corrupted species, and he was somewhat worried about incompatibility.

The advantage of merging with the God Computer is that you gain complete control over it.

He's practically a great god, yet the main god's computer is still Sequence 0.

Starting with Sequence 0, the repair of the God's computer stalled.

Because the main god computer is incomplete, to continue repairing it, he needs to integrate the dark matter intelligent chip he obtained when he solved the main god's great light sphere. However, he has never been able to understand this chip, and he does not want to risk integrating it into the main god computer.

Rosen continued to consider the Doomsday Ark, whose value as a Miracle Relic was immeasurable.

Not to mention, the Doomsday Ark is also related to the possibility of escaping to a new world.

Unordered pointers are also good; they can disrupt all kinds of order. This thing is almost the nemesis of all laws and regulations.

It can even greatly amplify the corrupting power of eternal depravity by disrupting order.

After much deliberation, Rosen finally decided to merge with the Doomsday Ark.

This is because it's a life-saving trump card; a miracle treasure fused from a miracle sequence, its level can increase along with the level of the miracle sequence.

Once he becomes an immortal god or demon, the Doomsday Ark will also advance to become an immortal god or demon.

Even if the worst-case scenario occurs—the ancient gods awaken—at least you'll have a way out.

[Apocalypse Ark: Miracle Sequence]

[Rank: Forbidden God/Demon]

[Miracle Attribute: The Doomsday Ark can navigate the Origin Dark Sea and the Endless Void]

[Miracle Traits: Doomsday Barrier, Doomsday Escape, Doomsday Survival]

After Rosen integrated the Doomsday Ark into the Miracle Sequence, its attributes changed.

From breaking free from the Dark Sea of ​​Origin to being able to navigate the Dark Sea of ​​Origin.

In addition, the advancement of the Miracle Sequence to Great God, although it did not bring any enhancement to the divine origin and the life origin, successfully gave birth to the fourth exclusive ability of the Miracle Sequence.

That is, by consuming the Eternal Miracle Source, all the Miracle Treasures in the Miracle Sequence can be integrated into the Doomsday Ark.

The unique abilities of the Miracle Sequence, born at the Great True God stage, are actually related to the Miracle Treasures fused at this stage.

Because of the Doomsday Ark's Miracle trait of survival, it can fuse with some special Miracle Treasures, which is why it has the unique ability to fuse with all Miracle Treasures in the Miracle Sequence. After fusion, it can produce an unimaginable enhancement effect on the Doomsday Ark.

Rosen incorporated the ancient sacred bell into the Doomsday Ark, giving it the special effect of recording sound.

Continue to fuse the Hidden Brass Book, and the navigation log will gain the special effect of recording secrets.

By combining the Wisdom Relics, the Doomsday Ark's water tanks are filled with Wisdom Springs. In addition to being drinkable, these springs can keep everyone on board sane and greatly increase their resistance to spiritual damage.

Rosen became increasingly addicted to fusion, continuing to fuse Ash Emblems and Historical Cameras.

The former creates a mist of ashes around the Doomsday Ark at the level of a great true god, which grants the Doomsday Ark super-strong concealment capabilities.

As for the historical camera, it gave the Doomsday Ark the ability to instantly revive after being damaged.

Lawson couldn't wait to combine the Destiny Coin, the Miracle Pocket, and the Apocalypse Treasure Map.

The Doomsday Ark gained further abilities to evade the void and conceal itself. Its radar system gained the ability to search for treasures and convert luck into destiny coins on board. From then on, all passengers had to use luck to make purchases after boarding the ship.

The Fate Coins consumed by these passengers can be used by Lawson to draw prizes on the Wheel of Fortune.

The Glorious Map allows the Doomsday Ark to generate its own navigation map, and it can instantly teleport to any location the Doomsday Ark has sailed through and where the navigation map has been generated.

The Ring of Final Judgment grants the Doomsday Ark the ability to manipulate Judgment Lightning, giving it powerful destructive capabilities.

As for the Ring of Glimmer, after being fused with the Doomsday Ark, its surface is imbued with eternal holy light, greatly enhancing its navigation capabilities in various special environments. For example, void storms, which could normally threaten the Doomsday Ark, are no longer harmed by void storms below the level of immortal gods and demons. After fusing with a total of eleven miraculous treasures, the Doomsday Ark's power has completely surpassed the level expected of a great true god.

These are just the changes that Rosen has seen on the surface; he has yet to figure out many of the hidden changes caused by the Miracles.

Inside the Doomsday Ark cabin, Rosen approached the ticket space.

Seal within is a great, insane god, who now has the power to deal with this madman.

Soon he will know how this great true god went mad, what exactly happened to the Doomsday Ark back then, what it encountered that almost led to its destruction, and perhaps even why the Doomsday Ark appeared in the deep sea of ​​the spirit world.

On the mast of the Doomsday Ark, the ancient sacred bell began to sway rhythmically.

Rosen also began to use the skills he learned from the Musician sequence through the Creator Scholar.

The lullaby of Flores, enhanced by the sacred bells of the ancient gods, gradually dispelled the instinctive fear of the great true god trembling in the corner of the ticket space under the hypnotic influence of the deeply divine music. A serene smile appeared on his face as he fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream constructed by the sound of the ancient sacred bell, Rosen did not directly guide this great true god to recall.

That experience could drive a great true god, who possesses an immortal will and an unwavering mind, mad, and even plunge him into endless fear. That experience must be a forbidden zone that He absolutely does not allow to be touched. Forcing Him to recall it would only stimulate Him to break free from the power of the lullaby and awaken him.

Therefore, Rosen directly transferred the miracle properties of the historical camera to the Ancient Sacred Bell through the miracle sequence.

With the miraculous property of replaying history, the ancient sacred bell can recreate the past memories of this great true god through its sound.

By simply focusing on the most memorable parts of history and re-enacting them, we can find out exactly what happened on the ship back then!
Rosen projects his past memories, which are replayed and recreated, onto the open pages of the hidden brass book.

If this memory is ever in danger, the Hidden Brass Book can shield it from danger and record the memory.

With the enhancement of the Secret Brass Book by the Miracle Sequence, the Secret Brass Book is now a Miracle Treasure equivalent to a Great True God, and its ability to contain secrets has been increased many times over.

As the memories unfold, everything that happened on the Doomsday Ark is brought back to life.

At first, everything went smoothly, just as he had anticipated.

The swarms of Void Worms and the cursed spirits formed by the Doomsday Curse were dangerous, but we managed to get through them all in the end.

Until the Ark of Doomsday encountered a sudden attack at the edge of the void in the new world. It was a huge beast with no organs other than a mouth, resembling a sea cucumber with countless mouths.

The behemoth emitted countless sounds, a mixture of numerous languages ​​intertwined together.

Even the immortal will of the great true god could not withstand the attack of the sound. Some of the true gods on the ship were almost instantly twisted into indescribable monsters by the sound, and finally had no choice but to be thrown off the doomsday ark by the great true god.

Only when the three great gods worked together could they barely escape the attack of the mysterious behemoth.

However, this is only the beginning, far from the end.

Various colossal beasts subsequently appeared one after another, and the true gods on the ship were reduced to only their legitimate son, who was protected by the strongest and greatest true god.

Fortunately, the Ark of Doomsday has already broken away from the New World and successfully transcended it.

However, the outside world is not the universe, there is no cosmic void, only a deep sea composed of the infinite origins of the world, and only infinite giant beasts.

The Doomsday Ark is surrounded and trapped in a desperate situation with no way to advance or retreat.

Leaving the new world offers no true freedom or liberation; what awaits them is an abyss of despair.

The only way out at that time was to escape back to the New World, and two of the three great gods perished during this period.

The only one who survived was actually just sealing himself in the space of the ticket and faking his death.

The doomsday ark, devoid of any living creatures, was no longer under attack from the giant beasts.

However, the Doomsday Ark had already suffered near-total destruction and was only returning to the New World according to its final navigation instructions.

After that, the great true god who faked his death and survived was no longer known.

Because He unknowingly suffered some unknown harm, His immortal will was plunged into endless mental torment, ultimately turning Him into a completely irrational madman trapped in the ticket space.

“Those behemoths are what my divine consciousness sees in the universe.”

Rosen said to himself with certainty.

Through the sublimation of the eternal source, he saw those colossal beasts.

However, there is insufficient contact and understanding regarding the extent of the threat posed by those endless behemoths.

It now seems that leaving the new world from the end of the void is a dead end.

Let alone the great true god, even immortal gods and demons would only face certain death when confronted with so many behemoths.

Rosen thought of the Primal Dark Sea, the deep sea of ​​the universe filled with the infinite origins of the world. Could it be the so-called Primal Dark Sea?

Beyond the Primordial Dark Sea, could there be other cosmic spaces, such as a cosmic void with countless stars?

Parallel worlds, surface worlds, inner worlds, overlapping worlds—different dimensions can all explain the true nature of the universe.

Even though we never left our blue planet in our previous life, scientists have speculated that there is a dark matter world in the universe.

The cosmos should truly exist, and the stars that served as the arrows for the Star-Shooting Crossbow may have originated from the cosmos.

Leaving the new world by different paths should lead to different levels of the universe.

Some paths lead to survival, but many more lead to certain death.

The path indicated by the Star-Shooting Crossbow might be one of the ways to survive.

However, in this case, what happens to those Ten Tribulations civilizations that threaten the world's will and are ultimately rejected by it? Are they sent to the Origin Dark Sea or to the cosmic void filled with endless stars?
Rosen is only speculating for now; the best way to find out the truth is to find another path under the guidance of the Star-Shooting Crossbow.

After reading all the memories of the mad great true god, Rosen casually conjured a secret key generated from a hidden brass book.

When this thing comes into contact with a living being, the Secret Brass Book can steal the deepest secrets hidden by that being.

Of course, the premise is that the Hidden Brass Book's level is higher than the target's life. Now that the Miracle Sequence has been promoted to Great God, the Hidden Brass Book has also been promoted to Great God, so the Secret Key can now be effective against Great Gods.

However, Rosen didn't care much about the secret, because the secret he obtained was likely worthless.

As expected, the harvest was not great. The biggest secret of this great true god was that he had a crush on the girl next door when he was a child. Even though the girl next door had been dead for tens of thousands of years when he became a great true god, he still couldn't forget her and found a substitute to have a child.

This last child was the true god who almost died in another space on another ticket.

Therefore, the value of a secret depends on the person. Rather than calling it a secret, it's more accurate to say it's the deepest obsession hidden within.

Rosen left behind the Ancient Tree of Origin and the Celestial Race to continue exploiting the old world. It's not too late for the World Will to call a halt whenever it wants.

As long as the old world's surface is not destroyed on a large scale, it will not cross the bottom line of the world's will.

……

The Pantheon Sea in the New World has now been completely developed by a civilization from the Old World.

The extraordinary systems that the old world possessed have all been transformed into the potion sequence system in recent years.

The new world has now been divided into four major factions.

The Pantheon Sea Faction, the World Government Faction, the Astral Faction, and the final Spirit Realm Faction.

The three factions constantly clashed with each other, but they also joined forces to resist the spirit realm faction.

Now, the true gods have retreated to the second tier in the four major factions. All those standing in the first tier are great true gods. Moreover, it is certain that there are immortal gods and demons behind the four major factions, not to mention the unknown forces hidden behind the scenes.

At least the immortal gods and demons behind the Star-Shooting Crossbow are currently believed to be in a universe outside the new world.

Rosen had no intention of joining any of the four factions; he had enough pawns within each of them.

The virtual deities that were distributed back then, along with the initial version of the player sequence, have now all transformed into true god avatars of true gods. Through these virtual deities, he has already been able to exert a certain influence within the four major forces.

Therefore, Rosen is ready to establish a fifth faction and redistribute the New World pie with the four major factions.
