Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 431 Cosmic Eggshell and Spacetime Origin Seed

Chapter 430

"Placing the hopes of destroying the ancient gods on me?"

Rosen pondered with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

The last words that Apocalypse left in the study of destiny were not something he could verify to be true or false.

If it's fake, it must be hiding a deadly trap.

What's even more frightening is the blurring of truth and falsehood; one wrong step could mean certain death.

According to Apocalypse's last words, the bookshelf before us is the bookshelf of destiny.

After opening the Book of Destiny and Creation to view one's own destiny, one can obtain a copy of the Book of Destiny and Creation. One can then record one's own destiny on it. No one can view another person's copy of destiny without permission, not even the ancient gods can see the copy of Apocalypse's destiny.

The bookshelf was piled high with copies of Destiny, numbering at least several hundred.

However, the existence of the Destiny Study was discovered, and it's impossible for there to be so many in the entire universe.

Therefore, Apocalypse speculates that the copies of fate on the bookshelf of fate all come from those beings who were brought into the study of fate by the ancient gods, because Apocalypse has done the same thing, and he once brought his subordinate gods into the study of fate to generate copies of fate.

According to Apocalypse's dying words, the only chance to eliminate the ancient gods was to use the relics of the primordial life.

Only the power of primordial life could possibly defeat and eliminate the ancient gods.

The Time Source Seed and Space Source Seed within Blue Star are the only chance that Apocalypse believes can eliminate the Ancient Gods.

Tianqi spared no effort to use the Mysterious Study to take him out of Earth, because Earth had no fertile ground for extraordinary life. Only by leaving Earth and entering the world of ancient gods could he possibly become an immortal god or demon with the help of the Mysterious Study.

Once he becomes an immortal god-demon and returns to Earth, he will be able to control the Time Source Seed through his affinity with it.

However, the question arises: why did Apocalypse leave his will in the study of destiny?

If he hadn't found the Book of Destiny, wouldn't Apocalypse's plan have easily failed?

Since Tianqi said that he was an anomaly to the Book of Destiny and could escape its control, why didn't he just leave the will in the Mysterious Study or on his person, instead of going through so many twists and turns to leave it in the Book of Destiny?

Rosen had many doubts in his mind, and perhaps opening the Book of Fate would resolve them.

However, Apocalypse's will warned him that he could not open the Book of Destiny until he had mastered the Time Seed.

Once opened, the fate he had barely escaped would fall under the control of the Book of Destiny.

However, Rosen had to consider another possibility: what if the Apocalypse's will was meant to prevent him from opening the Book of Destiny, and everything in the Apocalypse's will was a lie? If he didn't open the Book of Destiny now, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

Everything in the world is a mix of truth and falsehood, making it incredibly difficult to distinguish between them.

Rosen ultimately left the Book of Destiny, because if the Book of Revelation was real, he would immediately face a life-or-death crisis if he opened the Book of Destiny and Creation; if the Book of Revelation was a hoax, it would have no effect on him for the time being.

Once he becomes an immortal god or demon, he will be much safer to deal with any kind of trap, whether it's a trap or not.

Getting into the Destiny Study is troublesome, but getting out is very easy.

Push open the door of destiny, and you can instantly reach all the places you've ever been.

Sure enough, after Rosen pushed open the Gate of Destiny, he arrived at Blue Star, which he had been unable to find for a while.

Then he regained his senses of the Root Insect Mother and the Eternal Avatar that he had placed on Blue Star.

His origin, the Mother Insect, has spread and permeated all life on the entire planet Earth.

As for the Eternal Avatar, quite the opposite, there is only one left.

Moreover, the Origin Queen and the only surviving Eternal Avatar have been fighting each other on Earth for a long time.

Rosen sensed and manipulated the Root Mothers, and all Root Mothers were immediately brought under his control.

However, when he tried to manipulate the Eternal Avatar, the avatar not only failed to obey but also unilaterally sealed and severed its connection with him, the original body. Clearly, the Eternal Avatar he left on Blue Star had broken free of control for some reason.

However, Earth has almost no extraordinary resources, so this eternal clone cannot become very strong.

Even if all the other eternal clones were eliminated, in the end it would only barely become Sequence 0 without a divine kingdom.

Rosen thought he could capture the Eternal Avatar instantly, but when he tried to make a move, the Eternal Avatar disappeared.

Only after the Eternal Will linked with the Root Mother did he realize what had happened.

Back then, he left behind the Origin Insect Mother and the Eternal Avatar. As time went by, his connection with Blue Star was severed. After losing contact with the original body, the Origin Insect Mother lost her intelligence and obediently followed orders. The Eternal Avatar also knew that the original body could not possibly be in danger, so no one wanted to replace the original body.

However, as Earth's timeline shifted from the Ming Dynasty to the modern era, one of the eternal clones broke free of control.

This eternal clone lost all his memories, regressed to the age of an infant, and began to experience Rosen's life before his rebirth on Earth, becoming an orphan like him and eventually becoming a small-time cartoonist like him.

Then, just like him, he suddenly disappeared while taking orders for his boss to complete the Hunter x Hunter manga.

Then, a nuclear war broke out on Earth for no apparent reason.

The timeline of Earth began to restart, thus entering a new time cycle.

After the timeline was reset, the Eternal Avatars that had disappeared reappeared, along with their forgotten memories and lost powers. Moreover, they even gained control of the time power that enveloped Blue Star, and single-handedly wiped out all the Eternal Avatars.

Only the Root Mother, through its omnipresent parasitism, has managed to contend with the Eternal Avatar until now.

Although Earth has time acceleration, it's only a few times faster than the world of the ancient gods.

However, since the start of this time loop, the acceleration of time has increased from a few times to a thousand times, so the timeline has quickly approached the modern era again. The sudden surge in the acceleration rate is clearly related to the unusual events encountered by the eternal avatar.

The Eternal Avatar just disappeared; it's likely that it hid in another timeline.

Rosen released a bronze dragon clone, which immediately traveled back in time to the past.

While both possess the power of time, the bronze dragon avatar at the level of a true god far surpasses the eternal avatar at sequence 0.

In less than half an hour, the Bronze Dragon clone had already captured the Eternal clone.

Rosen immediately searched for the memories of the Eternal Avatar. He did not believe that the Eternal Avatar would rebel, because he never instilled too many memories into the Eternal Avatar. No one knew better than him how strong his original self was, and how desperate the Eternal Avatar would have to be to dare to have the idea of ​​replacing his original self.

As expected, the eternal clone is still the eternal clone, but there are problems with its memory and self-awareness.

The memories he instilled in the Eternal Avatar contained nothing but extraordinary knowledge.

Therefore, this eternal clone mistakenly believes that it is the original body, and even thinks that other eternal clones are monsters that steal its memories. This change in memories and cognition depends entirely on the power of the Time Source Seed.

Rosen's creation of cannon fodder clones like the Eternal Avatar could not possibly be imbued with divine essence and eternal will at the level of a great true god.

He will dilute the divine essence to the level of a demigod and mass-produce eternal clones.

The same applies to the eternal will; after being diluted, it weakens to the level of a demigod.

This level of being could not withstand the terrifying power of the Time Source Species, so his memory and self-awareness were damaged. He lost all his memories after leaving Earth, but instead gained all his memories of Earth, and thus mistakenly believed that he was the original.

Rosen immediately recalled his Eternal Avatar and then used it to make contact with the Time Source Seed.

His eternal will merged into the Time Source Seed almost effortlessly, and he easily began to fuse with it.

It seems that Apocalypse was telling the truth in this regard. He has indeed gradually adapted to the power of the Time Source Seed through countless time cycles, and has gradually become more and more compatible with the Time Source Seed. However, his consciousness is not strong enough to fully integrate with the Time Source Seed.

His eternal clone was like this; because its consciousness was not strong enough, it not only failed to merge but also suffered a backlash.

However, it was different when it was his true self. Although he was not yet an immortal god or demon, his consciousness was already an eternal will that was enough to merge with the Time Source Seed. As the Time Source Seed merged little by little, he sensed that there were other Source Seeds within Blue Star.

They are the plunder source species and the space source species, and then there are even compatible source species and star source species.

Apart from the Time Source Species and the Space Source Species, the other Source Species should all have been left behind by the Ancient Gods.

The ancient gods, through the use of these source seeds, are forcibly gaining control of the spatial source seeds day after day, like water dripping on stone. Judging from the situation of the spatial source seeds, they are almost completely under the control of the ancient gods.

The ancient gods spent countless years without fully mastering the Space Source Seed, while Rosen easily mastered the Time Source Seed.

Indeed, being born at the finish line is completely different from being born at the starting line. He now somewhat believes in Apocalypse's will. Apocalypse truly chose him as the hope to defeat the ancient gods because he became more and more compatible with the Time Source Seed in each time loop.

Rosen carefully perceived the inside and outside of the Blue Star through the Time Source Seed.

He soon discovered that even without the Time Source Seed and the Space Source Seed, Blue Star itself was not ordinary.

Normally, if a transcendent star merges with both the Time Source Seed and the Space Source Seed, it will definitely be promoted to the Eternal level of a transcendent star in a short period of time. However, even after countless years of merging the two Source Seeds, Blue Star still has some difficulty in reaching the Sequence 9 level.

The time cycle of Earth itself, plus a mere few times the acceleration of time.

These are the very essences that the Time Source Seed and Space Source Seed draw from the Primordial Ocean of the Universe, which are impossible to consume.

The key lies deep within the Earth's core, in a shell resembling the depths of the Dark Sun.

Almost all the origins were absorbed by this eggshell.

Rosen had some doubts: was there an unhatched primordial life form inside this eggshell?
Even an eternal being like an ancient god could not absorb so much of the eternal source of time and the eternal source of space.

Rosen tried to sense the situation inside the eggshell, and the Eternal Will easily penetrated it.

He saw a sea, a sea that resembled the primordial ocean of the universe.

The inside of this eggshell is not nurturing primordial life, but rather the embryonic form of a universe.

Controlling the Time Source Seed is equivalent to controlling half of the nascent universe.

Although it is a nascent universe, it still possesses power that transcends eternal life.

Rosen believed that even if an ancient god entered, he could manipulate the power of the nascent universe to trap and kill the ancient god.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the Ancient God has not refined the Space Source Seed. Once the Ancient God refines the Space Source Seed, he will have half of the control over the nascent universe, just like him. When the two sides start to compete, he will definitely not be able to beat the Ancient God at this stage.

With the help of the Time Source Seed, Rosen accelerated time by a thousand times.

As his strength grows, the time acceleration factor brought by the Time Law becomes increasingly lower.

Moreover, when it comes to eternal life, the laws of time cannot even be accelerated by twice the amount of time.

Now, back to a thousand times the original strength, the corpse of the Eternal Soul-Binding Wolf can be destroyed at any moment.

Rosen is now certain that there are no corpses of eternal life on Earth.

Although the Destiny Study is an independent world, it is clearly not the final resting place for the corpses of eternal life.

The only possibility he could think of was the Dark Sun. The eggshell deep within the Dark Sun was too similar to the eggshell deep within Blue Star, so it was very likely that it was a replica created by the ancient gods on Blue Star, and the corpse of the eternal life was very likely inside.

Rosen carefully separated a Time Source Seed from Blue Star, and he discovered that there were actually more than nine Time Source Seeds.

Even the plunder source seeds are only grouped into sets of nine, but the time source seeds are grouped into sets of ten.

Nine is the ultimate number, and ten is perfection. It seems that the true upper limit of the innate source seeds is ten.

However, the perfect innate source seed, the original life, did not directly leave it to eternal life.

Rosen suddenly thought of a possibility: could he use the Time Source Seed to control the Space Source Seed?
The time-source species and space-source species within Blue Star are independent yet complementary and mutually supportive.

The Time Source Species actively recognized him as its master due to their terrifying compatibility; surely the Space Source Species has no affinity with him at all?

Moreover, he also possesses a compatible source seed, and he might be able to steal the results of the ancient god's refining of the space source seed.

Rosen immediately manipulated the Time Source Seed and the Compatible Source Seed, and then used his own Compatible Source Seed to communicate with the Compatible Source Seed controlled by the Ancient God, temporarily merging the two Compatible Source Seeds of the same origin. Then, following this fusion, he allowed his eternal will to gradually integrate into the Space Source Seed.

His idea succeeded, but the vast majority of the spatial source seeds had already been refined by the ancient gods.

He cannot seize the spatial source seeds that the ancient gods have already refined, but he can refine the spatial source seeds that the ancient gods have not yet mastered.

Using a Time Source Seed that had already been separated from his hand as a medium, Rosen fused the Time Source Seed with the Space Source Seed through the Compatible Source Seed. Since time and space are of the same origin, one-tenth of the Time Source Seed and one-tenth of the Space Source Seed were quickly fused together.

After the two were merged under the balance of compatible source species, a spacetime source species was finally formed.

Through this spacetime seed, Rosen gained 55% control over the nascent universe.

Rosen also wanted to separate out another Time Source Seed, and then fuse it with one-tenth of the Space Source Seed through the Compatible Source Seed.

However, this time it failed, because the eternal will of the ancient god was about to completely permeate the remaining nine space source seeds.

Moreover, because he removed a spatial source seed, the spatial source seed, which was originally in a perfect state, was no longer perfect. After the power of the spatial source seed was weakened, the speed at which the ancient god refined the spatial source seed was significantly increased.

Rosen used the Time-Space Source Seed in his hand to open the interdimensional portal, and the power of the interdimensional portal was infinitely amplified.

The Mysterious Study did not fuse with the Source Seed; the Transcendent Gate only fused with the spatial laws of the Immortal level. Now, having fused with the Spacetime Source Seed that transcends laws and surpasses the Eternal level, the Transcendent Gate can travel to any place in the universe at will.

Even the Study of Destiny, Rosen could open the portal and walk directly inside.

Rosen crossed the portal and arrived at the surface of the Dark Sun, then gradually approached the eggshell as he entered.

Reach out and press your hand on the surface of the eggshell, and the portal immediately merges into the eggshell, opening a door.

Rosen looked through the portal and saw no corpse of the eternal life. He only saw endless life essence and divine essence, and an infant with a human body and snake tail that was faintly visible in the life essence.

Rosen sensed the presence of the Eternal Serpent Mother in this infant.

As expected, the corpses of the Eternal Serpent Mother, the Eternal Dream Demon, and other eternal beings were all moved here by the Ancient Gods.

However, this is not a simulation of the eggshell deep within Earth nurturing the embryonic form of the universe, but rather the nurturing of a newborn eternal life. Even though this baby has not yet been born, one can already sense that this baby is naturally compatible with the Time Source.

Clearly, the ancient gods, like the Apocalypse, wanted to create a life form that was naturally compatible with the Time Source.

However, the ancient gods chose to create a compatible being, and Apocalypse unexpectedly discovered this naturally born compatible being.

In this respect, Apocalypse won; Rosen had obtained the Time Source Seed ahead of time.

However, he could not be careless, because the Plunder Source Species was most adept at seizing everything.

The best way to stop the ancient gods from seizing the Time Seed is to eliminate this newly born eternal life.

However, he couldn't do it on his own, because Rosen had no doubt that the one in front of him was an avatar prepared for him by the ancient god.

If he dares to enter the eggshell, the ancient god's avatar will immediately awaken.

Although Rosen dared not go inside, obtaining some egg liquid through the interdimensional portal would not be a problem.

These egg liquids not only contain the essence of life but also the essence of divinity, making them the best nutrients for the root insect mother to flower and bear fruit.

Rosen continuously extracted egg liquid and then released the roots formed from the corpse of the Eternal Soul-Binding Wolf.

The roots absorbed more and more egg liquid, and finally, they passed the flowering stage and began to bear fruit.

With time accelerated a thousand times, the root fruit had grown to its limit and fallen off on its own in less than five years.

Rosen sensed the inside of the Root Fruit and discovered it was filled with endless egg liquid.

These egg liquids are almost identical to those inside the eggshells deep within the Dark Sun. Although the quantity is insufficient to make Rosen an eternal being, it is more than enough to make him an immortal being. Even the peel of the Root Fruit that was left behind has special uses.

Rosen put away the portal and stopped stealing the egg liquid inside the Dark Sun Eggshell.

Continuing to be greedy could very well trigger the awakening of the eternal avatar within.

He was able to steal the eggshell so easily entirely because he used the Time-Space Source Seed to imprison the time and space inside the eggshell. Now that he has released the time-space imprisonment and put away the interdimensional gate, the entire Dark Sun is pulsating violently. The ancient god's avatar inside the eggshell, which is not yet ready to hatch, almost awakened.
