Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 411 Mysterious Variables and Eternal Dreams

Chapter 410

Rosen stood on the roof of the Daming Palace, looking down at the Ming Dynasty officials who were holding the morning court session.

He was no different from any of the historical figures he knew.

The course of world history was exactly as he knew it.

The entire planet Earth resembles a celestial realm with an infinitely looping timeline.

The timeline cycles every ten thousand years, and the flow of time here is many times faster than in the world of the ancient gods.

Moreover, even as a forbidden god or demon, he can enjoy time acceleration many times over here.

It's important to understand that the time acceleration involved in dealing with an ant is vastly different from the time acceleration involved in dealing with a god.

The sheer size of the entire Blue Star world means that any demigod could easily destroy it.

Therefore, the time acceleration consumption of the entire Blue Star world is very small. The time laws that govern the Blue Star world should theoretically not have the slightest time acceleration effect on a forbidden god or demon.

He only needs to set foot on Earth, and the time acceleration here should stop.

However, Rosen did indeed experience the acceleration of time brought about by this law of time.

For the laws of time to take effect on him, it must consume terrifying amounts of energy.

However, even the eternally omniscient could not find the source of the energy when they traced it back to its origin.

No unusual situation was found in the entire world.

Rosen knew very well that often the absence of anything abnormal was actually the biggest abnormality.

The more normal the world of Earth seems, the deeper the secrets hidden within it.

He had tried every possible method, but he couldn't find anything unusual about the Blue Star world or the surrounding craters. Even if the ancient gods wanted to hide all the anomalies here, it would definitely not be an easy task.

Upon opening the interdimensional portal, Rosen returned to the Spirit Realm, the front side of the Ancient God World.

Since we can't see anything, it means his strength is still insufficient.

If he forcibly investigates the hidden secrets of Earth, he may very well awaken the sleeping ancient gods.

Rosen didn't want to court death, much less ruin the shortcut he had finally found.

However, he couldn't just leave it unattended, so he left behind some of the Root Insect Mothers and some Eternal Avatars.

Time moves very quickly there, though not a thousand times faster; a few hundred years there is equivalent to just a few years here.

He has plenty of time to wait for the timeline there to cycle back to the modern era.

He'll see then whether he'll still appear on Blue Star in that timeline, and whether the boss who asked him to draw comics before his rebirth will still appear. It will only take a few years to find out the truth. He has enough patience to let his eternal clone hide in the dark and observe.

Of course, he wouldn't just sit there idly; the world's will could undoubtedly provide him with a lot of help.

Perhaps the world's will knows about Blue Star, after all, a mirage of a nuclear war on Blue Star once appeared on the surface of the spirit world.

Even if they don't know it, the world's will must have some understanding of the other side of the ancient god world.

Not long after Rosen arrived at the surface of the spirit world, the world's will appeared, frowning and displeased.

He was very busy, while Rosen was very idle, which made Him very unhappy.

"what's up?"

The World Will asked with displeasure.

Have you ever heard of Earth?

"Rosen asked."

The World Will was slightly taken aback, and its expression instantly became undisguisedly solemn.

Born from the spirit world, He was responsible for managing the spirit world.

Except for a few restricted areas such as the deep sea of ​​the spirit world, the entire spirit world is under His control.

He has almost complete control over the surface of the spirit world.

The only slight imperfection stems from the mirages on the surface of the spirit world that are related to Earth.

That unfamiliar nuclear war that broke out in an unfamiliar historical period—He could not find the source of that history.

The ancient god world had no history or civilization involved in that war, and its collection of historical traces yielded very little. It only knew that it seemed to be a rudimentary technological civilization that had developed on a blue star.

The World Will never expected to hear the name Blue Star from Rosen's mouth.

"All I know about are mirages on the surface of the spirit world."

"The will of the world answered."

"I discovered traces of Blue Star on the back side of the Ancient God World. Is there a civilization on the back side of the Ancient God World as well?"

Rosen feigned curiosity and asked.

"Is there a civilization behind the world of ancient gods?"

The World Will asked in surprise, not expecting Rosen to touch upon its blind spot for the second time.

"I've made some discoveries in the King's Game..."

Rosen explained, "The true god of the King's Game's sword, behind which is an immortal god from the void of the universe, mentioned the Blue Star. I was very curious, so I followed a document about the origin of the world and found a crater that isolated the resentment of all living beings. There exists an incomprehensible time loop there."

Because I was worried that being associated with the ancient gods would awaken them, I left without lingering.

However, after leaving, I discovered that the spatial coordinates I left behind had disappeared, and the origin of the world had also remained in that world.

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find that world shrouded in craters.

I also encountered a Holy Spirit Emperor in the King's Game who had hundreds of thousands of saints under his command.

The Holy Spirit Emperor originally had a chance to win the King's Game, but he left the King's Game at the end.

I thought the Holy Spirit Emperor would be in the New World, but since returning to the New World, I have searched it extensively using the Eternal Omniscience and the Supreme God Network, but I have yet to find any trace of the Holy Spirit Emperor.

The World Will's expression was grim, because a series of unexpected variables had occurred.

Rosen is also a variable, but at least we know the origin of this variable.

Moreover, Rosen isn't the type to be ungrateful if you offer him some benefits.

However, the Blue Star civilization behind the Ancient God World, the immortal gods and demons in the universe, and the unheard-of Holy Spirit Emperor—if Rosen hadn't told Him, His World Will wouldn't have known that there were so many things about the Ancient God World that He didn't know.

"I will investigate these matters and let you know when I have the results..."

The World Will pondered for a moment, suppressing his anger, and said...

"Then I won't bother you."

Rosen regretfully prepared to leave.

"and many more."

The World Will called out to Rosen, "You need to become an immortal god and demon as soon as possible. There is a place that may be helpful to you. Take out your Hidden Brass Book. That place cannot be reached by conventional means."

"Then I won't be polite."

Rosen happily took out the hidden brass book and handed it to the World Will.

A moment later, the will of the world drew a special map.

Rosen took the hidden brass book and looked at it; the map actually pointed to a special forbidden zone in the spirit world.

He is still useful to the world's will, and it is unlikely that the world's will would harm him.

Therefore, this forbidden zone in the spirit world must be beneficial to him, but the world's will may also be using him to resolve this forbidden zone.

Rosen is not afraid of being used by the world's will; there is nothing he wouldn't do as long as the benefits are sufficient.

But if there are only disadvantages and no advantages, he will definitely seek revenge for every wrong done to him.

Following the map's directions, Rosen boarded the Golden Crow Starship and traveled directly from the Spirit Realm.

The fastest path is actually to return to reality and directly transmit data or use a portal to reach the corresponding reality of the spirit world, and then enter the spirit world from reality. However, if you take this route, you'll never be able to enter that forbidden zone.

According to the map, the only way to enter that restricted area is to follow a specific route in the spirit world.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the Golden Crow Starship has passed through hundreds of spiritual realms along the way.

Then you need to stay in each spiritual realm for at least a month and collect some of the local specialties found in that realm.

To save time, Rosen had no choice but to use the laws of time to accelerate the time in each spirit realm. Finally, following the map's guidance, he left the last spirit realm, and this map route, which had actually taken decades to complete, was finally coming to an end.

Guided by the final map coordinates, the Golden Crow Starship traversed the surface of the Spirit Realm and entered its deeper layers, approaching the deep sea.

Then, all the special products of the spiritual realm that he had collected along the way were thrown out. The spirituality contained within all the special products intertwined and merged in the empty void of the spiritual realm, eventually forming a special passage leading to the forbidden zone.

Generally speaking, such transmission channels are composed of spatial forces.

But this passage is different; it's more like a dream passage.

The moment Rosen put away the Golden Crow Starship and entered the tunnel, the terrifying power of the dream took effect on him.

Before he could even resist the onslaught of this power, a layer of radiance formed by the interweaving of hundreds of spiritual elements appeared on his body. The power of the dream continuously eroded this layer of radiance, and by the time he passed through the passage, there was hardly any radiance left around him.

Rosen appeared on a mountaintop; it was nighttime with only a few stars hanging in the sky.

He looked up at the stars in the sky, and the main computer instantly calculated a terrifying result.

Rosen had assumed that the forbidden zone of the spirit world might be a special spirit realm at the level of immortal gods and demons.

However, based on the range of the starlight, he is currently in a world that is not as simple as a spiritual realm. If the whole world is a false dream, that's fine, but if it is real, it will be a vast world that is no less than the world of the ancient gods.

The power of the Creator's Eye instantly spread to the moon, and then looked down upon the entire world along with the moonlight.

Rosen saw countless mountains and rivers; it was a vast world dominated by land.

There are countless civilizations and countless lives living in this world, possessing all sorts of extraordinary powers.

It's impossible for such a vast real world to be hidden within the world of the ancient gods.

The energy required to maintain such a world is terrifying; only the Primal Dark Sea can support its existence. No other world, whether within the ancient gods' world or in the cosmos, could sustain such a world.

So this is definitely not the real world, and indeed, under the investigation of the eternal and omniscient, its true nature is revealed.

This is not the real world but a dream world, only it is so real that it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

This world must contain the source of dreams, otherwise it wouldn't contain the eternal dream origin that covers the entire world.

Even if immortal gods and demons possessed the Dream Source Seed, they could not possibly construct a dream of this caliber.

Therefore, there is only one answer: this is a dream of some eternal life.

The Creator's eye peers into the world of all living beings, and the Supreme God's computer compiles and organizes the information it has gleaned.

In no time, Rosen felt familiar with the dream world before him.

This world originated from the Eternal Dream Demon. The creation legend of this world is that the Eternal Dream Demon fell into a deep sleep and then created the world and all living beings in its dream. The whole world was therefore named the Eternal Dreamland.

The extraordinary systems in this world are incredibly diverse, but the essence of all extraordinary systems is the same.

No matter what kind of extraordinary system it is, it cannot escape the realm of energy and laws.

The strongest beings in the Eternal Dream are equivalent to immortal gods and demons, and there are as many as five of them.

No wonder the world's will couldn't do anything about this place. If they called on the old fishermen and the others, it wouldn't be impossible to defeat and destroy this eternal dream. However, the commotion caused by the battle of more than ten immortal gods and demons would be too great. If the ancient gods were awakened, no one would be able to survive.

Because it is a dream world, the Eternal Dream contains many things that are absurd in the real world.

I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of the ancient god world, but many beings in the Eternal Dreamland are not much different from those in the ancient god world.

Rosen's Void shimmered across thousands of miles, appearing outside the mountains in a village with a civilization comparable to that of ancient times.

It was still dark, and the villagers were busy at home.

Candles and oil lamps were both precious, and in the pitch-black ancient society, the most common form of entertainment was procreation.

However, unlike in the real world where a child takes ten months to be born, here it only takes one night.

As dawn breaks and roosters crow, the cries of newborns can be heard from many homes.

After everyone finished breakfast, there were already more children running around in the village.

The elderly in every household stayed behind to take care of the children, while the able-bodied men began to farm and hunt in the village.

Here, planting doesn't require seeds at all; you can generate seeds and plant them simply by relying on your imagination.

Then, by bleeding the seeds, the crops in the fields were fully ripe before sunset.

Harvesting crops is also simple; the inedible parts of the crops will disappear when they reach their limit of growth.

Leaving aside the edible parts, the village chief took a special bag and threw it above the village. All the grain immediately rose from the fields and fell into the bottomless bag, which was then divided in two. One part was given to the villagers, and the rest disappeared into the bag.

By the time these strong laborers, who had bled all day, returned home, they were already old and frail.

The newborns who were born that morning have all grown up in just one day.

As for the elderly in the village, after finishing their last meal, they went into the mountains to be eaten by wild animals.

"They can only live for three days. All people are born with knowledge, and knowledge can be passed on to future generations."

After summarizing his thoughts, Rosen left the village and headed to the nearest county town.

Compared to rural areas, people in county towns can survive for seven days.

They still reach adulthood in one day, but since they don't need to bleed themselves to farm, they can live for five days after reaching adulthood. They also give birth on the last day. On the last day, the elderly still need to take care of their children during the day. At night, they don't need to go up the mountain, but they need to self-immolate on the city wall.

Every night, countless torches made of blood and flesh are lit on the city walls of the county.

Then, they would use this to defend against the various monsters that appeared in the darkness of night.

As for the county towns further up, the people there could live for a year.

A prefectural city can survive for ten years, while an imperial city can survive for a hundred.

Starting from the county town, the humans within it have already mastered true supernatural powers.

All extraordinary powers are related to dreams, and only by mastering extraordinary powers can one fight against the monsters born in the night outside the city.

The more people gather, the more likely powerful monsters will emerge outside the city.

On the contrary, villages, because their population is small enough, are not attacked by monsters and only need to face wild beasts.

However, the old man went up the mountain and fed all the wild animals, so the village was rarely attacked by them.

After this careful observation, Rosen found nothing of value to him.

I should have asked the world's will more. It seems I've become a bit arrogant since I've gained eternal omniscience.

However, his observations over the past few days were not in vain; he collected various extraordinary systems from this world.

The main computer is already integrating the knowledge involved in these extraordinary systems, and it's only a matter of time before it finds something of value within them.

If he really couldn't find them, then he would try to get close to those five immortal gods and demons.

The terrifying computing power of the God Computer soon brought Rosen a pleasant surprise.

Life in this world also has a spirit. As long as one survives for more than a month, a spirit will naturally be born. One can control dreams with a spirit and create many things out of thin air through imagination. Moreover, the growth rate of a spirit is very fast during the prime of life.

Rosen already knew why the world's will had sent him here.

His eternal clones have infiltrated various races in the new world. As the saying goes, "If you walk the dark path too often, you'll eventually encounter a ghost." The world's will must already know of the existence of his eternal clones. He can easily create eternal clones to replace the native life forms of this eternal dream.

Then, during their prime years, they experience rapid spiritual growth, and in their later years, they reclaim the spirituality of these alter egos.

In turn, this method allows his divine essence to grow rapidly.

Of course, there should be more than just this method. The Eternal Dreamland must also have its own unique treasures, but to obtain treasures useful to it, one would need to face the immortal gods and demons. The good things in this world have already fallen into the hands of five immortal gods and demons.

However, the understanding of the world's will is outdated, and Rosen has already mastered the Root Mother.

Countless primordial insect mothers descended from the sky, merging and parasitizing countless lives within the eternal dream.

All the root insect mothers will be passed down from generation to generation in every household.

Rosen didn't intend to exhaust the resources. While the Root Insect Mother absorbed some of the spiritual essence, it would also help the life in this world better absorb the power of the Eternal Dream. In other words, he used countless lives to steal the power of the Eternal Dream.

He cannot fight against five immortal gods and demons at the same time, but he can use the Root Insect Mother to drain the Eternal Dream.

Once the Eternal Dream is gone, the five immortal gods and demons born from the Eternal Dream will inevitably suffer a great loss of power. At that time, the World Will will certainly not sit idly by and will take advantage of these five immortal gods and demons to test the strength of the old fisherman.

As time passed day by day, the eternal dream that had remained unchanged for millennia began to change.

Fewer and fewer bizarre dream monsters are born in the night. Without the threat of dream monsters, all humans no longer need to rely on sacrifices to defend against them, and naturally, their prime of life begins to lengthen.

The subsequent change resulting from this is that more and more humans have mastered extraordinary powers.

If this continues, there will undoubtedly be more and more humans in the Eternal Dream.
