Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 478 The Secret of the World Tree and the Conditions for Ascending to the Primordial Realm
Chapter 477

In the Holy Temple's microcosm, Rosen removed the veil of moonlight from the void surrounding the temple's ruins.

At this moment, none of the eternal beings in the Holy Temple knew what had happened.

The situation is now at a stalemate, and neither side will cause any more trouble before the old universe is destroyed.

Both sides are too strong; continuing the fight will only result in a complete disaster.

Rosen knew very well that the struggle for the new universe would inevitably lead to the most brutal battle.

There is no way out, and there may not even be a chance to escape.

Because he doesn't know what's outside the universe, or whether he can survive if he leaves the universe with his strength, no one will give up on the new universe and escape the universe unless they are in a hopeless situation.

Since it's a decisive battle, the stronger our side's fighting force should be, the better.

Since the evil beings can no longer be captured, purified, or enslaved, Rosen can only shift his focus to the eternal beings.

The Holy Temple has nearly two hundred eternal beings; we can't let them watch the show during the final battle.

Rosen possesses the Holy Radiance of the Mind, as well as the Holy Law of Myriad Transformations and the Parasitic Flower of Night. These methods can rewrite memories. As long as he captures eternal life and rewrites their memories, he can rewrite their self-awareness, thereby turning them into puppets as useful as the Particle God.

However, capturing the eternal life form cannot be done rashly, because doing so would surely alert the enemy.

Neither the Chaos God nor the Dimensional God prevented the Taiyin God from commanding the Holy Temple.

Did they not know how much of a threat nearly two hundred eternal beings could pose by joining forces?

They must have known, so they must have had a backup plan.

The Holy Temple's microcosm has suppressed the dimensional forbidden zone for so many years, and so many eternal beings have entered the dimensional forbidden zone.

There must be many eternal beings who have been subdued or enslaved by the dimensional gods; given the power of the dimensional gods, it is impossible that they would not have done so.

Needless to say, the Chaos God ruled the Holy Temple for countless years directly through the Elemental Gods and other management groups. Since the Elemental Gods could subdue those top eternal beings who possessed primordial power, how could they not subdue some weaker eternal beings?

Those newly promoted eternal beings are one thing, but a bunch of the old-timers are definitely lurking ghosts.

The fact that it wasn't exposed in the past was simply because it wasn't time for them to take sides.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Rosen decided to prioritize targeting the newly emerged immortal beings.

His first chosen prey was undoubtedly the World Tree.

The World Tree had finally regained its eternal life, but it almost died at the hands of the Dark Sun avatar of the Ancient God.

He saved the World Tree, intending to capture it alive and use it for his own purposes.

Unexpectedly, the World Tree had a trump card and escaped while they were fighting in disarray.

The World Tree is quite famous in the Holy Temple now, because its power of the Stone Realm can even petrify and reinforce the world barrier. It plays a significant role in stabilizing the Holy Temple's microcosm, and even the Lunar Holy God often invites the World Tree to help repair the Primordial Holy Temple.

At this moment, Rosen, in his capacity as the Holy God of the Moon, invited the World Tree, who arrived at the temple ruins without any suspicion.

Before even setting foot on the ruins of the temple, the World Tree already sensed something was wrong.

He participated in the restoration of the original temple, using a great deal of Stone Realm power to repair the damaged buildings.

Even if the ruins of the temple were completely controlled by the Holy God of the Moon, His power of the Stone Realm should not have been completely left behind.

Sensing something was wrong, the World Tree tried to escape, but the Moonlit Splendor, disguised as the ruins of a temple, released a hazy moonlight that enveloped the World Tree.

The primordial artifact, even in a one-on-one fight, would not give a newly ascended eternal being a chance to retaliate.

The moon's radiant light reflected in the mirror-like sky had already dragged the World Tree into it.

At the same time, countless Nightfall Parasitic Flowers scattered across the World Tree in the void of the Eternal World. The original Eternal World was integrated into the Holy Temple's microcosm. The current Eternal World was created by re-opening up the forbidden zones of the universe captured in recent years.

However, they were completely unable to resist the Nightfall Parasite Flower, and all clones and all life forms within the Eternal World were instantly parasitized.

By cutting off the World Tree's escape route and preventing it from warning other eternal life forms, Rosen then transferred the World Tree, trapped in the Moonlit Splendor, to the Miracle Star Sea. The World Tree understood everything the moment it saw Rosen.

The World Tree remained calm, showing no sign of anger or despair.

"It seems you've come to terms with it."

Rosen remarked with emotion.

"How could I still be so depressed?"

World Tree smiled wryly.

After He died at the hands of the ancient gods, He dreamed for countless years of revenge by killing the ancient gods.

However, the Dark Sun Avatar of the Ancient God completely roused Him from his vengeful spirit.

While He struggled to survive and made every effort to revive, the ancient gods had grown to a level of power far beyond His reach. He could not accomplish His revenge by His own strength, so He joined the Holy Temple and tried to make friends with everyone.

Before they could even see any hope of revenge against the ancient gods, they had already fallen into Rosen's hands.

Moreover, it seems that even the Taiyin Holy God has fallen. In this situation, there is nothing He can do but try to be more open-minded. The only thing that comforts Him is that Rosen will definitely not let the Ancient God go. His only hope now is that Rosen will make Him die after the Ancient God.

If He could witness the ancient god fall into the mud, He could die in peace.

Rosen, the parasitic night-blooming cereus within the eternal will of the World Tree, discerned the thoughts and intentions of the World Tree.

"Considering our past relationship, the Ancient God will definitely go before you."

Rosen promised.

"Thank you!"

The World Tree said it closed its eyes and gave up resisting.

Rosen did not kill the World Tree, nor did he even modify its memories. He simply planted the Nightfall Parasitic Flower and the Root Insect Mother with its cooperation, ensuring that he could eliminate it in an instant. This is how he deprived the World Tree of the Stone Realm Origin Stone it possessed.

He once found a Stone Realm Stone in the treasure space provided by the World Tree.

However, that's a fake; refining it will only lead you into the World Tree's trap.

This is the real product, originating from the original stone of the primordial life and the primordial stone ancestor.

Although the World Tree is not a reincarnation of the original life form, it was born with the power of the original Stone Ancestor.

Rosen carefully examined the World Tree's memories and discovered that it was hiding a secret.

The World Tree is called the World Tree, but it actually controls the Stone Realm's Origin Stones and Compatible Source Species. Logically, the World Tree should control the World Source Species. After countless years of research, the World Tree discovered that it was very likely that its birth was tampered with. A World Tree that was born smoothly should have controlled the World Source Species and become a true World Tree.

However, someone took away the World Tree Seed and then used the Compatible Seed to integrate the Stone Realm Stone into its body, which is why the World Tree, which it could never forget, became the Stone of Stone. This certainly made the World Tree more powerful from the start, but it also cut off its growth potential.

Rosen played with the Stone Realm Stone thoughtfully, recalling that the World Tree was born during the early stages of the starry universe.

At that time, no one except the primordial life could have done such a thing.

But logically speaking, the primordial life should have already left the universe by then. Could there still be primordial life left behind? If there really were living primordial life left behind, why haven't they appeared over the countless years?

Filled with doubt, Rosen began to invite newly ascended eternal beings to his door.

Several years passed in the blink of an eye, and all the newly enshrined eternal life perished.

The remaining veteran eternal beings were lucky; he didn't want to alert them, so he didn't touch them.

By altering the memories of so many eternal lives, it is equivalent to gaining all of their growth experience.

In order to organize the vast sea of ​​memories, Rosen even manipulated the Miracle Star Sea to assimilate and integrate it into the God Computer, and then used enhancement to strengthen the God Computer into a primordial artifact. He then transformed thousands of computational and deductive information source species to process these boundless memories.

Then he extracted the essence of these memories and began to deduce his original sacred law.

When they last met, Rosen discovered that both the Chaos God and the Dimensional God had regained control of their immortal will.

Clearly, they did not give them any special treatment in the world of memories. Over the years, the Dark Sun Avatar, which had been lurking there, discovered that the Dimensional Holy God's undying will was growing stronger and stronger. It was obvious that as the old universe was gradually destroyed, they no longer cared about the Heart of the Universe's rejection of the undying will.

Having mastered the undying will, even if they cannot ascend to primordial life, casting primordial holy magic is by no means difficult for them.

If Rosen didn't have a sufficiently powerful Primordial Holy Law, how could he compete with the Chaos Gods for peaches?
The undying will possesses the characteristic of undying, and the primordial holy magic it unleashes also possesses the characteristic of undying.

To obliterate the Primordial Holy Law, one must first suppress the undying will that is integrated into it.

To suppress the undying will, one must target the memories within it.

Therefore, to destroy the holder of the undying will, one must master the primordial holy law that can destroy memories.

Rosen has a natural advantage in this regard; the Nightfall Parasite manipulated by the Eye of Night can directly affect memories.

However, the Nightfall Parasite's strength lies in its ability to bully the weak. While it can successfully parasitize the eternal will, it is extremely difficult to parasitize the undying will, a fact that has been proven by the batch of evil beings that were finally captured and purified.

Hoping that the Nightfall Parasite Flower can destroy the memory of the Undying Will in actual combat is only possible if it becomes the Primordial Nightfall.

Therefore, Rosen must develop a specific primordial holy method to address memory.

Ultimately, while the core of the Undying Will is indeed undying, its strongest manifestation, in my opinion, is a truly terrifying willpower.

In this regard, Rosen also needs to develop corresponding primordial holy magic.

Through years of interpreting the memories of the Holy Spirit of the Moon, he has come to understand the difference between eternity and the primordial state.

The first step is to master the undying will. If one unit of divine origin generates one unit of the upper limit of eternal will, then several hundred units of eternal will can barely be converted into one unit of undying will, and at least one thousand units of undying will can touch the bottom line of primordial life.

This means that the weakest primordial life form is a thousand times stronger in terms of will than the strongest eternal life form.

Then there is the origin, the origin of primordial life, which is not a thousand times more powerful than eternal life.

The primordial and eternal origins are very similar in quantity, but differ greatly in quality.

Because the origin of primordial life has been completely integrated with the undying will, the origin is constantly compressed and integrated with the undying characteristics, and its quality is constantly improved. Overall, the number of the origin of life and the origin of divinity has increased by about a hundred times.

Ultimately, the biggest difference between the primordial and the eternal lies in the primordial microcosm controlled by the primordial life.

The cosmic will did not create primordial life arbitrarily, but rather created primordial life in imitation of itself. Theoretically speaking, all primordial life is a child of the cosmic will, or more precisely, a cosmic infancy.

This is also why the primordial life form wanted to transcend, and why it had to kill the will of the universe.

They are essentially microcosms and life forms created from the cosmic will of these microcosms. In this case, there is no faster way to grow than by consuming the cosmic will. Therefore, some of the primordial life forms killed the cosmic will and divided its corpse.

Rosen has mastered five microcosms, each supported by a cosmic source seed.

However, these are merely eternal microcosms, and it is still a long way from them growing into primordial microcosms.

Because it requires the complete fusion of the undying will with the microcosm, thereby endowing the microcosm with the characteristics of undying, and ultimately achieving the level of the undying primordial life and the undying primordial microcosm, and the undying primordial microcosm and the undying primordial life, only then is one qualified to transcend eternity and ascend to primordial life.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to do.

Rosen attempted to transform into the will of the world and then merge the undying will directly with the world, but this fusion was a shortcut. The fusion of the undying will with the ancient god's true world microcosm was only temporary, not a complete and permanent fusion.

Back then, within his primordial body, Rosen obtained a fragment of the primordial world.

Aside from the fact that its strength is much higher than that of the Eternal World, it does not exhibit the characteristics of the primordial microcosm fused with the undying will. Obviously, the undying will fused with the primordial microcosm has been extracted, otherwise the primordial microcosm would not have been broken into fragments.

Lawson has no idea how to integrate them yet.

The Holy God of Taiyin knows how to develop the Primordial Universe, but he knows nothing about how to create it. After all, these are things that primordial life forms are born with, and no one would be so idle as to study how to advance a weakened version.

One must take things one step at a time, and Rosen began to strengthen his indomitable will year after year.

He directly seized control of six eternal microcosms, constantly transforming himself into the world's will to strengthen the eternal will, and then continuously compressing and sublimating the eternal will into an indestructible will. Because the Night Parasitic Flower can compress distracting memories, the difficulty of sublimating the indestructible will is greatly reduced.

It wasn't just Lawson who was seizing the time to grow; everyone was making the final preparations before the decisive battle.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the evil life forms have already dismantled the universe up to the fourteenth ring.

We are only one step away from the primordial ocean of the universe, but this step is conservatively estimated to take three thousand years to dismantle, exceeding the total demolition of all previous star rings.

As the universe is destroyed from the outer layers, while some of its origin is absorbed by evil life forms, much of its origin is actually water flowing downhill, eventually converging into the inner universe and flowing into the primordial ocean of the universe.

The primordial ocean of the universe is now dozens of times larger than it was before the emergence of evil life.

The power of the Heart of the Universe is amplified dozens of times.

If it weren't for the nearly two hundred eternal beings and almost one hundred sinful beings continuously drawing upon the origin of the universe, it's unknown how large the Ocean of Origin of the Universe would have become. This is also the fundamental reason why Rosen and the Chaos Gods ceased hostilities.

Because the Primal Dark Sea collapsed, the Primal Source flowed continuously toward the Fourteenth Star Ring.

Furthermore, this ring of stars corresponds to eternal life, and its spacetime intensity is already incredibly high. Now that it contains the infinite origins of the world, the origins of the world that originally only existed in the dark sea of ​​origins have actually poured into the endless void and the real starry sky.

Rosen sensed the approaching evil life form and immediately manipulated the Holy Temple's microcosm to enter the primordial sea of ​​the universe.

There are still about three thousand years left, and at least the first step of the three-step path to becoming a primordial life form must be completed.
