Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 473 Sublimation of Will and the Night Universe

Chapter 472

Rosen opened his eyes blankly, looking at the familiar surroundings.

He was very familiar with the world before him; it was clearly the spiritual world presented by the symphony of nature's compassion.

This is the primordial universe heading towards destruction. In the depths of the primordial universe, where the sky is flat and the earth is round, the moon, shrouded in red light, extends tentacles formed from red light, which entangle with the dark sun that has turned black. Countless parasitic flowers of night take root on the surface of the dark sun.

And on the endless land in all directions, countless primordial life forms are engaged in a fierce battle.

Rosen sensed danger lurking everywhere, especially from the two primordial life forms approaching from several light-years away.

However, he probably can't escape it; he can't use any of his powers except for the Eternal Will.

As the two primordial beings drew near, Rosen instinctively wanted to flee, but then instinctively stopped.

Because he had a feeling that he had no chance of escaping.

Moreover, everything he saw gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Rosen instinctively sensed something was wrong and tried every possible way to save himself.

He carefully checked everything he carried. He hadn't brought the Miracle Star Sea, but he had brought the Moonlit Splendor, the Bronze Book of Destiny, and all the miracle treasures from the Miracle Sequence, though they were all sealed inside his body and unusable.

Halfway through his examination, Rosen suddenly noticed a broken ring on his finger.

These days, while researching the memory world behind the Nightfall Society, I naturally won't give up on researching the Nightfall Parasitic Flower.

He didn't have any intact night-blooming jasmine, but he did have some of the powder ground from the withered leaves.

After studying it for a long time without finding any connection between the powder and the world of memories, he casually compressed the powder into a ring and wore it on his hand.

Rosen remembered very clearly that the night-blooming jasmine flower shaped from compressed powder on the ring he made on his hand was in full bloom, but at this moment the petals were incomplete, and a small part of the powder that made up the ring had disappeared.

Combined with a strange sense of familiarity, and the missing part of the ring on my hand.

Rosen suddenly realized that he might be caught in some kind of memory-cognitive loop.

I've experienced a similar cycle in the Symphony of Nature, but this time it's more likely to be a cycle of memory.

He currently does not know what the conditions are for triggering the memory loop.

The only discovery was a ring made from compressed powder of the Nightfall Parasitic Flower, which could help him avoid the memory loop in this world of memories. This might be his only hope to escape his current situation, but judging from the amount of powder that disappeared, he would only have no more than five chances left.

Rosen did not try the methods he already possessed, because he knew he had certainly tried them last time.

If they had succeeded, the current situation wouldn't exist.

Of all the methods he has mastered, it is highly likely that none of them will be able to change the current situation.

But Rosen also firmly believes that this world of memories is definitely not a dead end.

Because the triggering conditions for entering are too simple, it can be said that as long as one knows about this memory world, unless one has a danger perception as strong as his, the probability of accidentally triggering the conditions and falling into this memory world is very high.

No one knows you better than yourself, and Rosen knew exactly what his clone would do.

Without a doubt, his clones will drag all eternal life down with him.

He didn't believe that the Chaos God couldn't have considered this possibility. The Chaos God certainly wanted to eliminate him, but if the price was that all eternal life would be trapped in the world of memories, thereby completely disrupting the balance of the universe's destruction process, this was definitely not something the Chaos God would do.

Therefore, although the world of memories is dangerous, there must be a way out that most eternal beings can escape.

But this path to life must be suitable for eternal life, not for him.

The biggest difference between him and other eternal beings is that he possesses the primordial seed of the universe and the joyous symphony of nature.

As Rosen thought of this, the eternal will vibrated the void, and then used the void as an instrument to play a symphony of natural joy. However, the world of memories remained unchanged. He then switched to playing a symphony of natural compassion, but the world of memories still remained unchanged.

As the two fighting primordial beings drew closer, Rosen left clues on the ring to eliminate the answers he had ruled out.

As Rosen was drawn into the battle of the primordial beings, he unsurprisingly perished and lost consciousness.

……

Rosen opened his eyes for the third time, looking at the familiar yet strange world, and quickly noticed the ring on his hand.

Looking at the message above, he instantly understood his current situation.

Since playing natural music couldn't get him out of his predicament, his next attempt would be to try the Origin Seed of the Universe.

This world can only mobilize the Eternal Will and not the Source Seed, but not all extraordinary powers depend on the Origin and Source Seed. The Eternal Will itself possesses great power, and it began to use the Eternal Will to forcibly mobilize the laws and energy of heaven and earth.

This is extremely difficult because this world of memories is a replica of the primordial universe.

In the primordial universe, only beings of the level of cosmic will and primordial life were qualified to invoke the laws of the universe.

As for the eternal will of eternal life, there was no life form so weak in the primordial universe.

So Rosen kept compressing the eternal will, and in the end he could only barely mobilize a little bit of the laws of the universe. He then tried to use this little bit of the laws of the universe to communicate with the sealed cosmic source seed in his body, but no unexpected changes occurred.

Rosen was quickly obliterated once again by the aftershocks of the battle between the primordial beings, and entered his fourth memory cycle.

This time, as he experienced a memory loop, he felt a sense of despair looking at the prompts on the broken ring.

Having exhausted all possible methods, the only chance of escape he could think of was for his eternal will to transform into an indestructible will, only in this way could he control the laws and energy of the primordial universe and survive.

He was tricked into this by the Chaos Saint God, who also fulfilled the conditions for him to be pulled into the world of memories.

The Chaos God would never do something so foolish; He must be absolutely certain He can get out.

The biggest difference between the Chaos Saint God and him is that the Chaos Saint God was once a primordial life form, a primordial life form that truly mastered the undying will, unlike him whose mastery of the undying will was stolen from the source of all transformations.

Although Rosen had figured out a way to survive, it was almost impossible to implement it.

Because he had no idea how the eternal will could transform into the immortal will.

Rosen began frantically trying various methods, employing every means possible to target the Eternal Will.

As the two primordial beings brushed past each other, he once again experienced a memory loop where he forgot everything.

Rosen looked at the thin ring on his finger. In the next memory cycle, he might still be able to retain the familiarity with the past memory cycles with the last bit of Nightfall Parasite powder, but the disappeared ring could no longer retain any information.

So this is his last chance; if he misses it, he might die here.

Even if he could be resurrected with the help of a clone, he didn't believe that the resurrected person would still be himself.

Because none of his clones possessed his complete memories.

Rosen knew very well that all the conventional methods available for sublimating eternal will had been used last time.

Now there is only one possibility left, which is the simplest and most primitive compression sublimation method.

No matter what it is, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change when compressed.

Therefore, as long as the eternal will is infinitely compressed, theoretically the eternal will can be sublimated into an indestructible will.

Rosen actually had some ideas on how to compress the eternal will.

But he wasn't sure if his idea was right or if it would succeed.

But since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to take the risk and try.

The eternal will originates from the divine origin. The self-consciousness formed by the divine power of the divine origin combined with memory is gradually sublimated and strengthened, giving birth to the eternal will. The strength of the eternal will depends on the strength of the divine origin and the self-consciousness.

Rosen is now preparing to do the opposite; he intends to actively erase his own sense of self.

Because the core of self-awareness is memory, the memories of a life determine that life's destiny and self-awareness.

The increase in memory and the growth of life experience can all promote the growth of self-awareness.

On the surface, it seems that the growth of self-awareness leads to the growth of eternal will, and the stronger the self-awareness, the better. However, the more you experience, the more you know, and the more you think, the less pure your intentions become. It's not that thinking more is bad, but sometimes the more you think, the less pure your intentions become.

Rosen once tried something: he infused two eternal clones with the same eternal will. Then, the eternal will of clone number one continuously injected more memories, prompting its self-awareness to grow and strengthen the eternal will.

As for the second clone, it constantly erases memories, weakens self-awareness, and weakens the eternal will.

When the eternal will of the second clone weakened to its limit and was about to fall into immortality, Rosen discovered that there was a clear difference between the eternal will within the two clones. The quantity of the eternal will of the first clone was very large, while the quality of the eternal will of the second clone was stronger.

This experiment ultimately proved that the growth of self-awareness can increase the number of eternal wills.

However, if one wishes to enhance the quality of eternal will, then eradicating self-consciousness would actually be beneficial to enhancing the quality of eternal will.

These were the initial experimental results, but Rosen later discovered that these results were not absolute.

Injecting massive amounts of memories into the first clone to strengthen its self-awareness will not affect the quantity of the self-awareness that is formed by a carefree and undisciplined mindset, but will significantly reduce its quality.

Conversely, if the injected memories focus on one extreme aspect such as pleasure, killing, or pain.

Then the quality of the eternal will that is ultimately formed will be greatly improved.

Rosen finally concluded that the quality of the eternal will is influenced by self-awareness; the purer the memories that constitute self-awareness, the better the quality of the eternal will. What he needs to do now is to purify his self-awareness to the extreme.

He split his eternal will into two, one large and one small, in the fastest possible time.

This smaller part of the eternal will only accounts for one billionth of the total. Then, it began to concentrate and transfer all the memories contained in the eternal will into this one billionth of the eternal will, thus clearing the remaining memories of the eternal will.

While erasing his memories, Rosen left behind instructions to continuously compress his limits and elevate himself.

Without the interference of a vast and complex memory-based self-awareness, only the eternal will of obsessive instinct began to improve in quality as it was continuously compressed and integrated. However, after being compressed to its limit, it could no longer grow even a little bit.

Rosen felt that he was just one step away from transforming his eternal will into an indestructible will.

But he just couldn't cross that line.

As Rosen watched the two primordial beings draw ever closer, he knew he didn't have time to continue trying.

Without hesitation, he erased all memories from the one billionth of his eternal will that he had preserved, and merged his two eternal wills, one large and one small. In that instant, having lost all his memories, his eternal will was as pure and flawless as a newborn baby.

Rosen's immense eternal will compressed continuously in an instant, forming a point of undying will that began to merge with his origin.

The eternal will is compressed and sublimated into the immortal will; although the quality is improved, the mass is infinitely reduced.

The newborn immortal will that Rosen currently possesses may not be as strong as the immortal will of a newly ascended immortal god or demon.

However weak the undying will may be, it still retains all the essential characteristics.

Rosen's undying will had almost fused with a bit of divine essence and a bit of life essence, and it was already full and could no longer fuse with any more essence. However, even this little bit of divine essence had already given it the ability to be immortal and indestructible like a sinful life form.

The two primordial beings rapidly approached and swept past each other, the aftershocks of the battle tearing Rosen's eternal body and divine essence to shreds.

However, there was an undying will that was eternal and indestructible, which was caught up in the battle between the two primordial beings and moved together with them.

The memory world did not begin a new cycle, and the two primordial beings finally determined a victor after a long battle.

The victor devours the corpse of the loser, and even erases the memories contained within the loser's undying will.

While an undying will can be eternal and immortal, if the memories within it are completely erased, the result is merely an empty shell without any self. In the end, along with Rosen's own empty shell of undying will, it will scatter and drift slowly between heaven and earth.

After an unknown amount of time, Rosen's undying will absorbed the energy of heaven and earth and regenerated his human form.

He was resurrected because his undying will was weak enough.

In contrast, the primordial life forms that were killed were so powerful that even with their eternal and indestructible wills, the energy required to regenerate their enormous bodies was astronomical. Therefore, the time it would take for them to regenerate their bodies was far off.

Without memory or self-awareness, Rosen wanders between heaven and earth like a puppet with empty eyes.

Because of his undying will, the seal on extraordinary power in the world of memories was broken.

The extraordinary powers, such as the Source Seed, which were previously unusable, can now be unleashed through the Undying Will.

The instinct of life caused Rosen to continuously merge the source seed he possessed with his undying will.

The moment one of the special memory sources merged with the Undying Will, the memories that Rosen had backed up in the memory source began to merge with the Undying Will, and his self-awareness began to grow stronger, gradually restoring himself and regaining his true self.

Rosen felt a lingering fear as he assessed his condition; he was now as weak as if he had fallen from eternity.

While an indomitable will is certainly strong, quality alone is insufficient without quantity.

Rosen had a feeling that, having mastered the will of immortality, he could instantly leave this world of memories before him.

However, the world of memories that he had previously wanted to escape from now that he has a way out, he no longer wants to leave.

It should be noted that he suffered heavy losses at the source level. Although he was able to recover quickly after returning to the universe with the help of the Ancient God Realm and the Miracle Star Sea, he has never been one to suffer losses. If he does not make up for his losses in the world of memories, he will not be able to eat or drink even if he leaves.

Rosen walked on the land of the primordial universe, where other primordial life forms were fighting in the distance.

By releasing his undying will to perceive the world, he felt that he could subtly influence this world through the cosmic source seed.

Rosen looked up at the dark sun that was covered with parasitic flowers of night. This black sun felt to him as the core of the entire world of memories, and the longer he looked at it, the more his Dark Sun Eye instinctively felt threatened.

Rosen released the Doomsday Ark, and rode the eternal relic, the Doomsday Ark, into the air, heading towards the sun.

The gravity of the primordial universe was astonishing, and the gravity was stronger the farther away from the ground. When the Ark of Doomsday had passed through the clouds and reached the end of the sky, it had been flying for a full five years and finally approached the Night Parasitic Flower that could be seen on the surface of the Dark Sun.

Rosen's undying will controls the laws of space, and after being strengthened by the cosmic source seed, he opens the portal to spacetime.

He reached out and plucked a night-blooming cereus.

The Nightfall Parasite withered and died the moment it was removed from the Dark Sun. Even the cycle of time and space could not stop its destruction. I casually crushed the dried Nightfall Parasite into powder, and it actually fused with the thin layer of the ring on my finger.

Rosen immediately began collecting Nightfall Parasites, accumulating more and more powder as he continued to collect them.

After all the Nightfall Parasitic Flowers on the surface of the Dark Sun were harvested, the dormant Dark Sun suddenly came to life, releasing endless primordial Dark Sun power through the opening. This power surged towards Rosen, who easily refined it.

After examining it, Rosen discovered that he could use the power of the primordial dark sun to enhance his Dark Sun Eye.

Since no downsides have been found, we certainly can't let go of the benefits that come our way.

As the Dark Sun Eye continuously absorbs the power of the primordial Dark Sun, it transforms into the Dark Sun's sun not far away. The connection between the Dark Sun Eye and the Dark Sun Eye grows stronger, and the efficiency of collecting Nightfall Parasitic Flowers also increases accordingly.

As Rosen collected more and more dried powder from the night-blooming jasmine, he began to investigate whether this powder had any other value.

Through repeated trial and error, he discovered that these powders could be incorporated into the miraculous artifact, the Ash Emblem.

The Ash Emblem is no longer of much use to him, and even if there are problems after the fusion, it won't be a big loss for him.

This fusion lasted for decades, and the Ash Emblem had completely lost its original attributes.

Nightfall Emblem: Miracle Sequence

[Level: Primal]

[Miracle Attribute: Nightfall Emblem can freely enter and exit the Nightfall Universe and control the power of the Nightfall Parasitic Flower]

Miracle Ability: Eye of the Night

Rosen sensed the attributes of the Night Emblem; now, even without the Will of Immortality, he could escape this world.

The world of memories hidden behind the Nightfall Society should truly be called the Nightfall Universe.

Rosen activated the Eye of Night, and the Night Emblem immediately transformed into an eyeball that merged into the Dark Sun Eye between his eyebrows.

In the state of the Eye of Night, he could clearly see the true face of the Night Universe.

The entire Nightfall Universe is formed from memories. The core of the memory world consists of three parts: the Primordial Dark Sun, the Nightfall Parasitic Flower, and the last and most core memory of the Cosmic Will, the memory after the Cosmic Will's death. These, combined with the Nightfall Parasitic Flower, constitute the Nightfall Universe.

Although the core is the memory of the cosmic will, the actual controller of this world is the Nightfall Parasite.

As for whether the Primordial Dark Sun was an external invader or the only invader with a physical form in the past.
