Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 416 Innate Source Seeds and the Dawn of Doomsday

Chapter 415

Deep within the Spirit Realm, the true form of the Primordial Spirit Immortal Emperor, who had always disguised himself as the Primordial Law Immortal Emperor, trembled as he looked at the World Will.

After being forced to escape the eternal dream, He tried His best to escape the spirit world.

Then they encountered the will of the world and were easily captured alive.

"Having just escaped the wolf's den, he has entered the tiger's lair"—this perfectly describes the Yuanling Immortal Emperor.

The eternal dream cultivated over countless years has been lost; now, its fate rests entirely on the will of the world.

Therefore, when questioned by the world's will, He dared not utter a single embellished lie.

The World Will learned of the changes in the Eternal Dream and realized that it had underestimated Rosen.

Unexpectedly, the Doomsday Ark ended up in his hands.

Even more unexpectedly, Rosen, who controlled the game's source seed, was able to force five Immortal Emperors to either die or flee.

Although there was an element of luck involved, the skill they displayed was still truly astonishing.

The World Will gave Yuanling Immortal Emperor a disdainful look; if he didn't still have some value, it would have liked to kill him on the spot.

Five immortal emperors occupied the Eternal Dreamland, and He was helpless in a direct confrontation with them.

Unexpectedly, he was afraid of death and even risked using power beyond his control.

If they had launched a full-scale attack from the start instead of probing, they would never have given Rosen the opportunity to conquer the human world.

Anyone who comes to the Immortal Realm will go all out and risk their life, and will never give Rosen the chance to kill a Primordial Spirit Immortal Emperor.

After chasing them to the mortal realm, they finally had a moment of wisdom and chose to escape back to the immortal realm, abandoning the pursuit.

Then he did something stupid again, lacking even the courage to force Rosen to leave.

If the threat of awakening the ancient gods is raised, Rosen will leave the Eternal Dream without hesitation.

Rosen knew they were afraid of death, which is why he wasn't worried they would have the guts to awaken the ancient gods.

As a result, they did the stupidest thing. Not only did they fail to awaken the Eternal Dream Demon, but they also fell into an extremely weak state, giving Rosen the opportunity to almost wipe them all out. Five against one ended up like this. If he had known they were so useless, he would have occupied the Eternal Dream long ago.

While the world's will looked down on the Yuanling Immortal Emperor, it also became more wary of Rosen's strength.

Was it really not a mistake to let Rosen become an immortal god or demon?
The World Will is confident that it has no rivals below eternal life.

However, if Rosen's strength is too great, it will pose some threat to Him.

After all, it's difficult to achieve something great but easy to do something terrible. Once Rosen becomes an immortal god or demon, he will definitely have the ability to ruin things for Him.

It seems that this Rosen has become worthy of His targeted defense.

The World Will took away the Primordial Spirit Immortal Emperor and did not go to the Eternal Dreamland to ruin Rosen's plans.

Seizing the opportunity, Rosen did everything in his power to devour the Celestial Realm and the Eternal Dreamland with his Immortal Kingdom.

Then, the Immortal Kingdom will be gradually integrated into the Ancient God Realm.

His Ancient God Realm was originally a world where spirit was the primary element and matter was secondary. The only truly materialized parts were the world around the Small World Tree and the world inside the nine World Fruits left behind by the original World Tree.

Because the original Little World Tree has transformed into the Origin Ancient Tree.

Therefore, the current World Tree is merely a replica materialized from a painting of a spiritual realm that he created.

Only the counterfeit of Sequence 0 could barely support the original Ancient God Realm.

However, if the Ancient God Realm were to merge with the Eternal Dreamland and undergo another transformation, the Sequence 0 World Tree would no longer be qualified.

Either the Root Ancient Tree takes full root in the Ancient God Realm, or a stronger Small World Tree needs to be drawn.

However, unlike other things, drawing a higher-level World Tree requires special paint of sufficient quality.

If there were a source seed that is eternally compatible with the origin, then the drawn miniature World Tree would be truly perfect and flawless, and could even transcend the realm of drawing to exist completely and truly in the world. And the only one most likely to know where the compatible source seed is is the World Tree.

Rosen himself remained in the Eternal Dream, while Yinglong's avatar quietly left the Eternal Dream aboard the Doomsday Ark.

Without the barrier of the Eternal Dream, they had silently left the Spirit Realm through the interdimensional portal.

Several hours later, the Doomsday Ark had broken directly into the Sky Pillar where the Floating Empire was located from the depths of the void.

The spiritual realm existing inside the mural is on the verge of collapse and is about to be completely swallowed by darkness.

Rosen took out the Creator's Divine Brush and quickly reshaped the inner spiritual space by filling in the murals.

Only after the inner spiritual realm had greatly expanded and stabilized did they enter the mural and arrive at the stone sphere where the World Tree was hidden.

On the previous occasions, the World Tree would show itself after discovering his arrival.

But this time, the stone sphere made of Eternal Stones unexpectedly remained completely still.

Rosen took out the ancient god stone chisel he had drawn and placed it on the surface of the stone sphere to control the Eternal Stone to split in two.

The World Tree, which once hid here, has disappeared without a trace.

Only inside the stone sphere remains a stone slab carved from the original stone.

In the center of the stone slab is a compatible source seed.

Rosen glanced at the message on the stone slab and realized that the World Tree had actually escaped its predicament with the help of the World Will.

However, compared to him, the World Tree was even less willing to believe in the World Will.

That's why we left this source seed, using it to reach a mutually beneficial deal with him.

Through the Miracle Seed, Rosen learned that there was actually more than one Seed.

However, he was unaware that even the source species had innate and acquired differences.

All eternal life possesses innate source seeds, while all immortal gods and demons create acquired source seeds.

The Primordial Species were born before the universe, and even eternal life suspects that the universe was created by other Species with the Spacetime Species at its core.

After the birth of the universe, the primordial seed continued to give birth to the first eternal life.

Therefore, the primordial seed existed first, and then eternal life came into being.

Eternal life is eternal and immortal because the eternal will is integrated into the innate source seed. Whether innate or acquired, the source seed is one with the origin of the universe. Therefore, eternal life and some immortal gods and demons who control the source seed can ensure that the source seed is indestructible and that they themselves are immortal.

However, Rosen knew very well that nothing in the world is absolute.

He had considered in the past whether there was a way to completely kill eternal life.
The simplest yet most difficult thing is to destroy the universe. If the universe is gone, the source seed, which relies on the origin of the universe, will naturally find it difficult to continue to exist. Alternatively, the eternal will within the source seed can be extracted. Since the eternal will can be integrated into it, it can also be extracted.

These methods sound simple, but in reality, even the ancient gods at their peak couldn't do them.

The first step was to strip away the eternal will. Rosen had tried, but he was unable to separate his eternal will from the root of the source seed.

Because the two have completely merged, the eternal will is now part of the source seed.

As for what kind of power it would take to destroy the universe, Rosen made a rough estimate and his heart sank.

Taking himself as an example, he needs to devour the ancient god world completely, consume at least half of the eternal life in the universe, eat half of the primordial beasts in the primordial dark sea, and then drain half of the world's primordial ...

In general, to destroy the universe, one would need to incorporate at least half of the universe's mass into the universe.

Otherwise, if you are weaker than the universe, what gives you the right to presume to destroy it?

However, in reality, this is almost impossible to do in the realm of the extraordinary.

Rosen once wondered why the ancient gods would need to transform themselves into all things and raise sentient beings in the ancient god world if the Dark Sea of ​​Origin contained endless world origins.

But as he gradually gained a better understanding of the Eternal Dream, he slowly began to understand what was going on.

In the entire universe, the total amount of matter far exceeds that of spirit by countless times.

In the vast universe, the number of life-bearing planets is extremely limited, and the space available for intelligent life to survive is very small. Compared to the size of the entire universe, the proportion of intelligent life is far too small.

As for the spirit, that is something that only intelligent life possesses.

The ancient gods have no shortage of energy; the primordial dark sea contains inexhaustible energy.

However, the ancient gods lacked spirit. After the ancient gods plundered the origin of the World Tree, their divine origin was probably no longer enough to control their bodies. That is why they shepherded all living beings, harvesting not the life origin of life but the spiritual origin.

This is why the ancient gods fell into slumber; their physical bodies were too powerful, but their spiritual strength was insufficient. In such cases, they either had to relinquish the power they had plundered from the World Tree, or they had no choice but to fall into slumber to reduce the pressure on their divine essence.

This is why, according to the old fisherman, there are so many eternally living corpses in the universe that can only be watched helplessly.

Even if those eternal beings die, their physical mass is still beyond the control of the divine essence of immortal gods and demons.

Not to mention that the life essence of eternal life is also extremely powerful, and even immortal gods and demons find it difficult to shake and absorb.

Rosen even wondered whether those eternal beings were truly dead or just pretending to be dead.
Looking at the compatible source on the stone slab, Rosen picked it up and examined it carefully.

After he mastered the Omniscient Source Seed, he was able to vaguely sense the eternal will hidden deep within the Source Seed.

However, no trace of eternal will was found within this innately compatible source species.

This means that the World Tree's last message on the stone slab was genuine, and that the World Tree voluntarily detached itself from its eternal will.

Only the innate source species are born innately, while the eternal will is a product of later development. Therefore, even if the eternal will is removed, it will not affect the continued existence of the source species. After the World Tree is removed, it is equivalent to completely giving this compatible source species to him.

Of course, this innate source seed wasn't given away for free; he needed to safely bring the Miracle Stone Golem out of the Ancient God World.

It was only then that Rosen realized that the Miracle Stone Golem was actually a deeply hidden resurrection plot device of the World Tree.

No wonder the World Tree never rushed to trade for a smaller World Tree after he took the Miracle Stone Golem away.

If the World Tree hadn't been captured by the World Will this time, it probably wouldn't have confronted him.

As for why he didn't continue to hide it, it's probably because he was worried that the Miracle Golem would be abandoned.

After all, the Miracle Stone Golem is just a great god. He helped him a lot in the past, but now his role in helping him is becoming less and less important.

The portal opened, and Rosen delivered the compatible source species into his own hands.

Just as they were about to refine it, they suddenly stopped.

Because the reward offered by the World Tree was so generous, it was unbelievably generous.

Even if the Miracle Stone Golem becomes useless one day, it is still a great true god, and it is not worth losing. The World Tree has no need to offer a naturally compatible source species stripped of its eternal will as a reward.

Because if he had any lower standards, he would have refined the compatible source seed and then eradicated the Miracle Stone Golem.

So, the World Tree's desired outcome wasn't that he would bring the Miracle Stone Golem out of the Ancient God World, but rather that he refined this compatible source seed. The fact that the Eternal Omniscient didn't detect any problems doesn't mean that this source seed is truly without issues.

After all, the eternally compatible origin is best at perfectly assimilating and integrating all things.

Rosen sealed away the compatible source species; he will not refine this thing for the time being.

They did not see the World Tree, and out of fear, they could not refine the compatible source species.

Rosen, the Yinglong clone of the Floating Empire, did not hesitate to parasitize the Root Insect Mother on the Tongtian Stone Pillar, continuously drawing upon the Eternal Compatibility Origin and Eternal Stone from it. He would not leave until he had completely drained the Tongtian Stone Pillar.

The world's progress will not stop because of the disappearance of any one person.

As time went by, the non-renewable resources of the ancient god world were eventually depleted by various civilizations.

The remaining renewable resources cannot be cultivated as quickly as they are consumed.

The bitter consequences of uncontrolled population growth have begun to emerge.

If you haven't experienced good times, you can endure hardship after a while.

The problem is that in previous years, resources were exploited excessively, and all races in the ancient god world enjoyed the benefits, living a life they could never have dreamed of before. Now that resources are scarce, their quality of life will soon be worse than before.

For most people, it would be difficult to go back to a frugal lifestyle.

But even if it's impossible, we have to do it. The scarcity of resources will at most affect the quality of life and significantly reduce the efficiency of the extraordinary sequence. It will never lead to food shortages or lack of clothing. The existence of the farmer sequence has long ensured that there is more food than we can eat.

As long as people have enough to eat and wear, their lives will not be driven to despair.

Since we can't enjoy it in reality, we can enjoy it in the virtual world.

While cultivation is difficult in reality, one can experience the joy of becoming a demigod or even a god in the virtual world.

With the existence of the virtual world and the abundance of food and drink, the civilized order is unlikely to collapse.

So at that moment, all the virtual networks in the Ancient God World, except for the Main God Network, disappeared.

While the God Network is good, it is not a charity.

Logging into the God Network requires consuming spiritual power.

In the past, in order to seize the market and to develop the virtual source world created by the God Computer as much as possible, Rosen basically subsidized all users with his own efforts, drawing more spiritual power from high-level transcendents to subsidize ordinary people.

He can now make his income exceed his expenses, but he gave up the subsidies without hesitation.

Because he is now in the same camp as the world's will, they both need to rely on the resentment of countless beings to deal with the ancient gods.

Without subsidies, superhumans are unaffected, but ordinary lives are greatly impacted.

They were forced to leave the paradise-like virtual world and face the reality of scarce resources.

However, this is only the beginning of the world's will to make all living beings suffer; the subsequent disasters will be the final blow.

Without extraordinary resources, the countless new extraordinary beings created over the years have at most struggled to advance their extraordinary ranks.

However, it takes spiritual energy for extraordinary individuals to log into the main god network and to use extraordinary skills. Once spiritual energy is consumed, it needs to be replenished. In the past, there were a large amount of resources that could be used to make magic potions, and there was a huge amount of spiritual crystals that were inexhaustible.

Now all of that is gone, and countless newly added superhumans can only draw spiritual power from the world to restore their spirituality.

If one person drinks from a pool of water, they might not finish it even if they drank until they died.

However, if the water were distributed among 10,000, 100,000, or even 1 million people, there would probably be no water left in the pool if each person had a single sip.

Although the Ancient God World can draw countless world origins from the Primal Dark Sea, these world origins are not spiritual. It takes a long time to transform them into spirituality. The spiritual power that the Ancient God World continuously restores is simply not enough to satisfy the consumption of countless extraordinary beings.

As a result, more and more extraordinary individuals are finding themselves in the predicament of having extraordinary power but lacking the spirituality to unleash their extraordinary skills.

Ordinary people can be fed with grains, and no matter how much they mess with things, the destructive power is limited.

Superhumans without spirituality will only starve to death; when a person is about to starve to death, they can do anything.

In particular, as the spiritual power of the ancient god world was depleted, all sorts of natural disasters began to erupt on a large scale.

All intelligent life inevitably challenges and transforms nature.

This is especially true for humans; they can't stand being too cold or too hot, or being in too much wind or rain.

Too dry is no good, and too humid is also no good.

It would be better if there were no conditions. In recent years, there have been more and more superhumans, and their modification of the environment has reached a crazy level. Basically, most of the gathering places of intelligent life, and various weather and environment have been completely controlled by various superhuman forces.

The superhumans are now starving and have no power to continue manipulating changes in the natural environment.

This directly led to a backlash from the natural environment, and the originally stable and orderly natural order became chaotic after being disrupted.

The continent used to experience unusually heavy rainfall, to the point that it became unbearable for the people living there.

Countless extraordinary individuals managed to divert the rainwater from the Rainfall Continent into the sea and block the rising water vapor from the sea from reaching the continent. Now, however, they could no longer stop it. The water vapor that had accumulated over the years converged on the Rainfall Continent, and the entire continent was almost completely submerged in water by the torrential rain.

There are many similar places where natural disasters that intelligent life of various races had once suppressed have almost all erupted at once.

When natural disasters occur, man-made disasters inevitably follow.

Resources are limited; if you don't fight for them, you can only watch others fight for them, or even become the target of their fighting.

Under these circumstances, the order of the ancient god world almost completely collapsed.

The more chaotic the order under natural disasters and man-made calamities, the more easily the deepest evil thoughts of intelligent life can erupt out of control.

Naturally, countless intelligent beings struggled to survive, their resentment growing ever stronger.

Where there is suffering, there must be joy.

Seeing that seeking divine intervention was useless, the intelligent beings of all races gradually abandoned their faith in their respective gods.

Ironically, the evil god who grants all requests finds more and more followers amidst the chaos.

As a result, some of the laws have also been affected, with some weakening and others becoming stronger.

Rosen was also a beneficiary. The corrupted source seeds he controlled were constantly generating more and more eternal corrupted sources. Correspondingly, the birth source seeds that had benefited greatly in previous years were gradually returning to normal.
