Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 461 Substitution and Power Struggle

Chapter 460

"Many things that we wouldn't dare to do or couldn't do before, we can now do without restraint..."

Rosen, familiar with the Myriad Transformations Holy Law that merges with the Eternal Divine Spark, felt an unprecedented sense of ease and freedom.

In the blink of an eye, the avatar of Yinglong, who had ascended to the status of an immortal god and demon, appeared before him.

Enveloped by the Myriad Transformations Sacred Law, Yinglong's clone instantly transformed into an old fisherman.

He possessed all the power and even all the memories of the old fisherman.

After Rosen opened the portal to the otherworld and sent the old fisherman away, the old fisherman, who was actually Yinglong's clone, instantly communicated with the Nightfall Society and sensed the great true god clone of the old fisherman who was barely clinging to life inside the Nightfall Society.

At this moment, the old fisherman's clone was almost scared out of his wits, because in his view, the original body that Rosen had eliminated was actually not dead.

Rosen instantly informed the old fisherman's clone of the reason why he hadn't died, through the eternal will that shared the same origin and was completely identical.

The reason is that the original owner did not die; he was simply imprisoned by Rosen.

Those who understand the times are wise; after being imprisoned for many years, I surrendered.

The old fisherman's clone was somewhat puzzled as to why someone as proud as him would choose to surrender.

However, the original body is indeed the original body. The origin of life is correct, the origin of divinity is correct, the eternal will and memories are correct, and even the original body's absolute suppression and control over the clones is correct. The original body can eliminate the clones at any time and replace them with a new clone.

In this situation, the old fisherman's clone had no doubt that the original was fake.

I just thought that the real person had been imprisoned for many years and may have been subjected to various tortures and temptations, which eventually changed his mind.

Rosen successfully infiltrated the Nightclub, transforming Yinglong's clone into an old fisherman and planting a nail.

He continued to use the Myriad Transformations Holy Technique, but this time he transformed his true form into a Heavenly God.

No one can expose him as an imposter, because all the incarnations of the Heavenly and Earthly Saints will believe that he is the real Heavenly and Earthly Saints.

Although the identity of the Heavenly and Earthly Saint God may attract attacks from the Dimensional Saint God or the Chaos Saint God.

But even if they weren't his match, he was absolutely confident he could escape from them.

Because his root source seed can transform into a complete spacetime source seed to escape under any circumstances, and can transform into a complete destiny source seed to sense dangers targeting him in advance, the only existence in the universe capable of killing him is the primordial life.

Rosen took out the damaged Heaven and Earth Shield and Heaven and Earth Holy Armor, and locked the two eternal relics to cast the Time-Space Reincarnation.

The perfect spacetime source seed transformed from the root source seed makes his spacetime reincarnation effect extremely terrifying.

Even while using the cycle of time and space, he also used the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique to master the Heavenly Burning Sequence of the Heavenly Burning Serpent, and then manipulated the Heavenly Burning Sacred Fire to assist in the repair of the two eternal sacred objects. Soon the damaged eternal sacred objects were repaired.

Rosen then put on the Heavenly Cloth, which had transformed into a robe, and then shrunk the Heavenly Shield and merged it into the back of his hand.

Finally, the wings of heaven and earth merged into the back of the Heaven and Earth Holy Armor, while the axe that split the heavens and earth merged into the right hand.

Rosen did not return to the Holy Temple immediately, as he still lacked the memories of the Holy God of Heaven and Earth.

Although the Heavenly Saint God was almost captured alive, obtaining his complete memories is nearly impossible.

Because at the moment the gods and saints of heaven and earth completely perished, the eternal will directly annihilated all memory carriers.

This includes the brain, where all memories stored in brain cells are completely erased.

Although Rosen's mastery of the time-space cycle can reverse time and reshape the brain, the brain of the Heavenly and Sacred God may not store all memories, because the brain is the memory carrier most prone to problems. The complete memories of the Heavenly and Sacred God will only exist in the Eternal Will.

The only eternal will that Heaven and Earth Saints left in him was the eternal will that he had merged with the source seed of Heaven and Earth during his lifetime.

The primordial seed is immortal and the eternal will is immortal. However, the primordial seed of heaven and earth was persisted until it was returned to its origin by the primordial seed, and it had already become part of the void primordial core. At that time, the eternal will within it was also stripped away and sealed in the painting.

However, Rosen could not extract memories from that eternal will before ascending to eternity.

Now it's different. The root source seed transforms into a memory source seed, which can still split into ten perfect memory source seeds.

Furthermore, since Rosen had become the Holy God of Heaven and Earth, the eternal will of the same origin was no different from him except for the lack of memories. He easily gained the recognition of the remaining eternal will of the Holy God of Heaven and Earth and completely copied the memories stored within it.

Rosen carefully perused the memory and quickly gained a sufficient understanding of the interpersonal relationships between the gods and the heavens.

Then there were all the memories related to the Holy Temple, which he meticulously memorized.

All eternal life in the Holy Temple is equal, but as a power, it needs a leadership.

Unless power is abused, other eternal life must also abide by the rules.

The management of the Holy Temple is the first echelon that wields primordial power, and its number is small, not exceeding ten people in total.

The Heavenly and Earthly Saints are among them, primarily responsible for stabilizing the microcosm of the Holy Temple.

Although it was the highest level, Rosen was certain that the Heavenly and Earthly Holy Gods had never come into contact with the core of the Holy Temple.

Because the Heavenly and Earthly Saints did not know the truth about the dimensional forbidden zone, nor did they know why the Holy Temple was pulling the Heart of the Universe toward the dimensional forbidden zone. The Heavenly and Earthly Saints also knew that they were being secretly rejected. The Azure Sky Saints had the same experience as the Heavenly and Earthly Saints.

The gods and spirits of heaven and earth did investigate the reasons, but they never discovered the truth behind their rejection until their death.

Rosen speculated that the other high-ranking members of the Holy Temple had likely already defected to the Chaos Holy God.

After making all the preparations, Rosen continuously folded through the void and headed towards the Holy Temple.

Near the ancient god world, he directly entered a void area of ​​the Holy Temple located in the Origin Dark Sea.

The moment they broke in, Taixu Diting, who was in charge of guarding them, noticed.

Although Taixu Diting is only a third-tier eternal life form, it possesses terrifying perception abilities that rank among the top three in the universe. It can directly listen to all things in the universe to obtain information, and its survival to this day relies on seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Taixu Diting scrutinized Luo Sen, confirming once and for all that this was indeed the Holy God of Heaven and Earth.

The Heavenly Saint, who was already confirmed to have perished, has actually returned alive?
Although it was hard to believe, Taixu Diting had no intention of investigating further. It was fine if the gods and spirits of heaven and earth were alright, but if there were problems, they would be able to prevent it from noticing anything unusual. It was better to leave such a dangerous existence to the top echelon to handle.

The Taixu Diting, which had vanished into the void, did not appear at all; it merely relayed the news of the return of the Heavenly and Earthly Saints to other eternal beings.

After Rosen returned to the Holy Temple's microcosm from the folded space, he received a message from the Holy Temple's higher-ups almost immediately.

In the ruins of the temple, Rosen encountered three high-ranking members of the Holy Temple and an avatar of the Heavenly God.

The clone stared at Rosen in disbelief. It had already begun the transition from clone to the original body, but the original body had returned alive and kicking. Under these circumstances, the only fate awaiting the clone was death.

The true self has no need for an uncontrolled clone, therefore the true self will not allow it to live.

Ignoring the three eternal beings present, Rosen directly targeted the avatar of the Heavenly Saint God and forcefully attacked. The Heavenly Domain that instantly unfolded easily imprisoned and suppressed this avatar.

Then the immortal divine body of the clone was instantly crushed into powder and restored to the origin of life. The soul and divine origin were also cleansed and merged into the realm of heaven and earth. Finally, all the memories within the eternal will were deleted and purified, completing the final recycling.

The difference between the true form and the clones of extraordinary beings is not just about power.

Memory and ideology are the key. The original body usually does not instill too many memories into the clone unless the original body perishes, in which case the clone will be qualified to inherit and complete the memories. Finally, the original body will restrict the clone's emotions and consciousness, purely shaping the clone's consciousness into a tool.

Because the original body of the Holy God and Earth had perished, the avatars of the Holy God and Earth had already inherited all the memories and developed self-awareness and emotions.

Therefore, such clones cannot be kept. Once a sentient being has a self, it will have selfish desires, and with selfish desires, the clones will replace the original being.

Throughout cosmic history, there have been countless examples of clones murdering their original selves after creating their own.

Because such situations have occurred so many times, and because clones are very useful and an essential means of resurrection, every extraordinary being imposes various restrictions on clones.

Rosen absorbed the eternal will left behind by the avatar of the Heavenly and Earthly Saint God after his death, and gained a deeper understanding of the Myriad Transformations Saintly Technique.

There are few ways for the eternal will to grow stronger; it generally relies on the growth of the divine origin or the growth of self-awareness.

The divine origin is easy to understand. The growth of self-awareness depends on many factors, such as the rich life memories brought about by a long lifespan, personal emotional resonance, or even obsession and persistence with a certain thing. All of these can drive the growth of self-awareness.

Excluding these, the only path to growth is through the growth of controlling the eternal world.

Rosen developed a fourth method using the Myriad Transformations Holy Method: his divine origin can be transformed into the divine origin of other eternal lives, and his eternal will can also be transformed in sync. This means that his eternal will can merge with the eternal will of the corresponding eternal life.

After merging, one only needs to erase the self of the external eternal will to claim the eternal will of others as one's own.

"I never thought you would actually come back alive."

The Elemental Saint God sighed with emotion after seeing the Heavenly Saint God successfully retrieve his clone.

"I almost didn't make it back."

Rosen said with lingering resentment.

Would you mind talking about your experiences during the years you were missing?

The Elemental Saint asked without any pretense.

"I almost got trapped and died inside the fragments of Rosen's primordial world..."

Rosen couldn't help but smile as he said this, "He can actually control the remains of the primordial life deep in the ruins. I almost died at Rosen's hands. However, he is only an immortal god and demon after all. Manipulating the remains of the primordial life requires a huge amount of eternal will."

So I decided to play along and used the "Heaven and Earth Grief" technique to seal myself and the remains of the primordial life together.

Then, by using the seal to isolate Rosen's control over the remains, I forcibly refined the out-of-control remains within the seal. This time, I actually benefited from the misfortune; not only did I survive, but I also took the opportunity to refine the remains of the primordial life form and gain control of an eternal-level avatar.

Rosen explained that in the end, to prove himself, he even released his original avatar to stand beside him.

The Elemental Saints' eyes turned red. They didn't doubt the authenticity of the Heavenly Saints; what they doubted was whether the Heavenly Saints had been enslaved by Rosen or surrendered in a life-or-death situation. But now, these possibilities were completely ruled out.

First of all, the explanation is clear and reasonable: it is an inconceivable thing for Rosen to kill the Heavenly Saint.

Although Rosen possesses a certain method that allows him to expand his life essence to a terrifying degree.

However, the Elemental Saint who had faced Rosen directly knew very well that Rosen had almost completely lost his mind in that state and could not maintain that state for long. If Rosen had not mastered the Space Source Seed and could move freely, he would have died in His trap.

Therefore, after the disappearance of the Holy God, all the eternal beings in the entire Holy Temple felt it was unbelievable.

They had no idea why Rosen could make the Holy God of Heaven and Earth disappear.

Many people even suspect that the one who truly caused the disappearance of the Heavenly and Earthly Sacred God was not Rosen, but the mysterious person who caused the disappearance of the Azure Sky Sacred God. No matter how strong Rosen is, he is only an immortal god or demon. He may be able to defeat the eternal beings of the third tier, but he cannot defeat the first tier.

It turns out that Rosen manipulated the remains of the primordial life, which forced the gods of heaven and earth to the point of risking their lives.

However, an immortal god or demon is an immortal god or demon, and cannot control this skeleton for long.

As a result, the Holy God of Heaven and Earth benefited, and His power increased dramatically once again.

At this moment, the Heavenly Saint God who has mastered this special clone is probably already the strongest eternal being in the Holy Temple.

The Elemental God left with a complicated expression, and the other high-ranking members of the Holy Temple followed suit with envy and jealousy.

Although they were envious and jealous, they did not harbor hatred because of it.

Because they knew very well that the stronger the gods and spirits of heaven and earth were, the closer they were to death.

The strange thing is that the gods and spirits of heaven and earth have obtained the source seed that they shouldn't have.

Rosen then went on a rampage through the Holy Temple, making contact with every eternal being willing to engage with him.

Although the Heavenly and Earthly Saints are among the high-ranking officials, they are merely figures in name only and have no real power.

Because everyone knows that befriending one high-ranking official in Heaven and Earth is far less valuable than befriending all the other high-ranking officials.

No one is willing to offend the Elemental God and all the higher-ups for the sake of the Heavenly and Earthly Gods.

Nobody's a fool; even an idiot knows to side with the strong.

But things are different now. When Rosen comes into contact with each eternal being, he displays overwhelming power. This has led many eternal beings to realize that the Heavenly and Earthly Saints have surpassed the first tier and can be compared with the Ancient Gods.

Under this understanding, naturally more and more eternal beings are willing to befriend the gods and spirits of heaven and earth.

Rosen even subtly hinted that there were others behind the Elemental Saints and the others.

The many eternal beings in the Holy Temple are nothing more than a group of cannon fodder kept in the dark and driven at will.

If the original gods and deities of heaven and earth were to say this, without any evidence, the many eternal beings would only consider it slander.

However, the current Heavenly Saints and Gods possess terrifying strength that surpasses the first tier. Under such circumstances, the credibility of all their words has been greatly enhanced. Even if people do not believe them directly, they will still be wary and observe everything in secret.

After all, no matter how much others say, nothing is as credible as what you see and observe with your own eyes.

If the elemental deities hadn't concealed anything, of course they wouldn't have been able to observe anything.

But in fact, they were hiding something. Many of the things the Holy Temple did were not in the interest of all eternal life, and it didn't seem to benefit the elemental gods either. It's impossible that the higher-ups of the Holy Temple were all fools who couldn't see the pros and cons.

Since they do this even though it brings them no benefit, there must be a mysterious person behind it who can actually gain something from it.

Unbeknownst to many, the people within the Holy Temple had become divided, with more and more eternal beings believing that the Holy God of Heaven and Earth had not lied.
