Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 512 The Lies of the Undying Overlord and the Only Way Out

Chapter 511

"We did something stupid..."

The Dark Sun Lord's voice trembled with rage.

Rosen was slightly taken aback. The Epoch Ruler, who had survived for hundreds of reincarnations, couldn't even control his emotions. Or rather, this was the result of him suppressing his anger with all his might. It seemed that the Dark Sun Ruler had been really provoked.

Come to think of it, how could they not be angry after being fooled for hundreds of lifetimes?
"The Immortal Sovereign is my and His teacher."

Seeing Rosen's confusion, the Lord of Night explained in a voice so cold it was almost inhuman.

"Let's start by reviewing the events from the beginning..."

The Dark Sun Lord gritted his teeth as he spoke of everything he knew about the Undying Lord.

Hundreds of reincarnation eras ago, there was no system of immortal will. Every time a reincarnation era restarts, all reincarnated life forms are reborn back to the time of their initial birth, losing all memories of the previous reincarnation era, and then embarking on a new life with the same outcome but a different process.

Often, ignorance is bliss.

Because they don't know their past life memories, they naturally have no doubts about their life in this life.

Whether your past life was filled with suffering or happiness, you will not feel it at all in this life.

Until the birth of the Undying Sovereign, who created the Undying Will Extraordinary System.

The Undying Sovereign possesses the Undying Memory, allowing him to retain all the memories of the previous cycle in the next cycle.

The story that followed is that the Undying Sovereign could not bear the fact that only he retained his memories in the new cycle of reincarnation, and could not bear the fact that those he knew in his previous life had forgotten him. Therefore, he chose to spread the Undying Will Extraordinary System.

Everyone believed this story because it was logical, simple, and straightforward.

The most crucial point is that there is no benefit to forging, so there is no point in forging.

However, this story, which all reincarnated beings believed in without a doubt, now appears to be a complete lie.

The Undying Ruler is the Will of Reincarnation, or rather, the Will of Reincarnation is the Undying Ruler.

There are two possibilities. The first is that the Undying Ruler existed first, and later the Undying Ruler became the Will of Reincarnation through some means. The second is that the Will of Reincarnation existed first, and the Undying Ruler was an identity created by the Will of Reincarnation from beginning to end.

When the Undying Overlord spreads the Undying Will and the Extraordinary System, the first choices are the Dark Sun Overlord and the Night Overlord.

The reason for choosing the Lord of Night is that His true form is the Night Parasitic Flower, which can control memories.

Because he was born as a reincarnated being who controls memories, the Night Lord is most likely to possess immortal memories. At that time, the immortal will transcendent system was still very incomplete, and the Night Lord deserves a large part of the credit for perfecting this transcendent system.

Compared to the Night Lord, the Dark Sun Lord does not have any particular advantage in possessing immortal memories.

He was chosen by the Undying Sovereign. According to the Undying Sovereign, they were best friends in their previous lives, and it was with the help of the Dark Sun Sovereign in his previous life that the Undying Sovereign had the good fortune to grasp the memories of immortality.

Because the three of them were the first to master the immortal memory, they had an extremely good relationship in the first few cycles of reincarnation.

At this time, they did not dare to spread the Undying Will Transcendent System on a large scale, and the first Era Ruler had not even been born.

Because with the study of cause and effect, and with the affirmation of cause and effect and reincarnation, they worried that the great realm of reincarnation had a master.

If the Great Realm of Reincarnation truly has a master, then their propagation of the undying will and transcendent system is tantamount to suicide.

Which rancher would allow their cattle and sheep to encroach on their pasture?

But as each cycle of reincarnation passed, the long years began to cause them to lose their reverence.

The Undying Will Transcendent System began to spread quietly. At that time, they still had some awe and dared not spread it openly. They wanted to test whether the rancher really existed by spreading it in secret on a small scale.

The rancher seems to have never existed; he never appeared from beginning to end.

Their courage grew, and the Undying Ruler thus became the first Era Ruler of the Great Realm of Reincarnation.

Having also possessed immortal memories, the Night Lord had already surpassed the Immortal Lord thanks to his own talent.

However, as the Undying Sovereign became the Sovereign of the Era, His Undying Memories surpassed those of the Night Sovereign once again. While the Night Sovereign could only help reincarnated beings grasp the Undying Memories, the Undying Sovereign could even help primordial beings grasp the Undying Memories.

More and more beings are acquiring indelible memories, and in the new cycle of reincarnation, more and more people are inheriting memories of their past lives.

Because of their memories of past reincarnation eras, these beings are born with a higher starting point, and they occupy more and more resources in the reincarnation world. As a result, the Night Lord and the Dark Sun Lord became the rulers of the era one after another.

Given the Night Lord's innate advantages, the spread of the Undying Will Transcendent System mainly relies on the Night Lord.

The Undying Sovereign rarely appeared, until one day he disappeared.

As close friends, the Night Lord and the Dark Sun Lord began to do everything in their power to investigate the reason for the disappearance of the Undying Lord and his whereabouts.

As a result, nothing was found out. Instead, as one cycle of time passed, the ideologies of the Night Lord and the Dark Sun Lord gradually clashed.

They gradually transformed from close friends into irreconcilable rivals.

Of course, there are times when they fight and times when they join forces. They keep it a secret from all reincarnated beings and secretly guide the world of reincarnation to give birth to a new will of reincarnation.

They originally thought they could control the newborn will of reincarnation.

As a result, the Will of Reincarnation became unexpectedly strong after its birth, and even when the two joined forces, they were completely defeated by the Will of Reincarnation.

If it weren't for the discovery this time that the will of reincarnation was entangled with the cause and effect of thousands of reincarnation eras, they would not have realized that the will of reincarnation was the undying sovereign, nor that the undying sovereign was merely using them.

Although countless years have passed, they have also suspected that the will of reincarnation may be entangled in karma.

However, on the surface, it is not apparent that the will of reincarnation is entangled in cause and effect. They are also unable to defeat the will of reincarnation and cannot investigate it in depth. Although they have doubts, they cannot do nothing just because of their doubts. After all, the will of reincarnation is their only hope for transcendence.

"Isn't it said that the Eternal Ruler is the most ancient ruler of all eras?"

Rosen asked, puzzled.

"That's right."

The Night Lord explained, "The Eternal Lord is the oldest epoch ruler, but He is not the first epoch ruler. Before the Undying Lord became an epoch ruler, there was no concept of an epoch ruler. The core of an epoch ruler is to possess immortal memories."

"Without this concept, why is He the oldest?"

Rosen was still puzzled.

"Let me explain!"

The Eternal Ruler said calmly, "Whether it is the Undying Memory or the Era Ruler, they are essentially transcendent powers born from the constraints of the Great Realm of Reincarnation. These transcendent powers transcend the rules of the Great Realm of Reincarnation."

I am the oldest ruler of the era, because I was born to bear the desire of all living beings for immortality.

The desire for immortality among countless beings in the Great Realm of Reincarnation is like cause and effect, which even the restart of the Great Realm of Reincarnation cannot erase. Therefore, I do not know how many reincarnation eras ago that this desire was already borne by the power of the ruler of the era.

However, I possess power but lack the self to bear it, so I am not the first Era Ruler. But in terms of power, I did possess the power of an Era Ruler much earlier, therefore I am also known as the oldest Era Ruler.

After listening to the explanation, Rosen grasped the key information: whether it was the power of immortality gathered from the desire of all beings for eternal life, or indestructible memories, or entanglements of cause and effect, all of these originated from the Great Realm of Reincarnation, but the Great Realm of Reincarnation could not completely restrain the power of transcendence.

If we follow this logic, the Lord of the Dark Sun and the Lord of the Night must also possess their own powers of transcendence.

Becoming the ruler of an era, spreading extraordinary systems, and passing through cycles of reincarnation are not the key points.

These are merely supplementary; mastering the power of transcendence is the only condition for becoming the ruler of an era.

"Does mastering the power of transcendence grant one the ability to become the ruler of an era?"

Rosen couldn't help but ask.

"You may be able to grasp the entanglement of cause and effect, and we will all help you become the ruler of the era."

"The Lord of Night said expectantly."

Rosen believed in the Lord of Night's sincerity, but he was not confident that he could control the entanglement of cause and effect.

The Lords of Night realized that they had been deceived by the Will of Reincarnation, that the physical form of the Will of Reincarnation was entangled in cause and effect and could not be used as a resource to transcend the cycle of reincarnation, and even realized that the Will of Reincarnation might have already used them to fulfill the conditions for transcendence in this cycle of reincarnation.

In this situation, transcendence is no longer their priority; survival is.

If he can master the entanglement of cause and effect and become the ruler of the era, he will simply be another competitor for them in the future.

If he cannot control it, then this cycle of reincarnation will surely perish. If he is forced into a desperate situation and chooses to perish together with others, facing thousands of uncontrollable causal entanglements, even the ruler of the cycle risks being dragged down with him.

"How can I take control of the karma that binds me?"

Rosen's words plunged the Lords of Night into a deathly silence.

If the entanglement of cause and effect were so easy to grasp, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths to create scapegoats.

They were helpless even with just one entanglement of cause and effect, let alone thousands of entanglements of cause and effect.

The solution to these entanglements of cause and effect is probably only known to the will of reincarnation.

After all, the will of reincarnation has lived through thousands of reincarnation eras carrying these causes and effects, and even tried to transform the cycle of cause and effect into the cycle of destiny. However, it now seems that it is not that they are preventing the will of reincarnation from mastering the cycle of destiny, but that the will of reincarnation itself has given up on the cycle of destiny that cannot be succeeded.

Although they cannot help him control the entanglement of cause and effect, they have no choice but to try anything in this situation.

The ruler of civilization personally guided Rosen, imparting to him all the extraordinary systems of countless civilizations that He possessed, including the transcendent power held by the rulers of seven eras. The entire guidance process was completely transparent and without any reservations.

Why not take advantage of the benefits that come your way? Lawson also needs to learn from the extraordinary inheritance of these different systems and draw parallels between them.

With the help of the seven era rulers, Rosen's mastery of causal reincarnation grew stronger and stronger.

However, without the help of the Fate Computer, it is difficult to grasp even a single causal entanglement. If they could help people grasp a causal relationship by working together, there would be no need to find a scapegoat. Therefore, their fundamental purpose is to curry favor with Rosen.

They wanted to turn enemies into friends and minimize the chances that if Rosen couldn't survive, he would drag them down with him.

Rosen knew this very well, but he needed their help now.

It is clear that the power of the Lord of Reincarnation alone is insufficient for him to resist thousands of karmic entanglements.

However, as long as he masters the power of transcendence and becomes the ruler of the era, he may be able to transcend the cycle of reincarnation by using the avatar of the will of reincarnation. Even if he cannot escape the entanglement of cause and effect, he will still have the hope of surviving like the will of reincarnation.

As the years passed, the destruction of the Great Realm of Reincarnation drew ever closer.

Rosen grew increasingly anxious, and the Lords of the Night became increasingly uneasy. Forced into a corner, they even began to gather the strength of all members of the two camps and act separately to delay the destruction of the Great Realm of Reincarnation as much as possible. They finally swallowed the bitter fruit they had sown in the past.

The Great Realm of Reincarnation, which was originally destined to be destroyed in six million years, was extended for four million years.

Rosen discovered that no matter what, it was impossible to shake the thousands of causal entanglements originating from the will of reincarnation.

He began to change his focus, attempting to grasp the causal entanglement that had been transformed and integrated into the fate network by the fate computer.

Indeed, it is much easier to grasp this entanglement of cause and effect; the fate computer has greatly reduced the difficulty of mastering it.

Rosen used to believe that the power of reincarnation was the strongest power in the Great Realm of Reincarnation.

That's why there is the cycle of time and space, the cycle of birth and death, and the cycle of cause and effect.

This understanding is correct. Reincarnation is indeed the strongest force in the Great Realm of Reincarnation, but no matter how powerful the force of reincarnation is, it cannot transcend the Great Realm of Reincarnation. This is the same principle as God being unable to create a stone that he cannot lift.

Therefore, the most fundamental difficulty in obtaining the power to transcend the cycle of reincarnation lies in transcending reincarnation itself.

Although the Samsara Realm is powerful, it also has its moments of weakness.

The world of reincarnation is at its weakest when it is destroyed, and at its strongest when it is reborn.

Between destruction and rebirth, it is easiest to grasp the power of transcendence. This is why it is said that only by passing through the cycle of reincarnation can one become the ruler of the era. Although this statement has some errors, it is true that passing through the cycle of reincarnation makes it easiest to become the ruler of the era.

Therefore, the closer the Great Realm of Reincarnation got to destruction, the closer Rosen felt he was to success.

But at the same time, he also felt that he was getting closer and closer to death.

The more he studied and mastered causal entanglement, the more he discovered that causal entanglement was everywhere.

It entangles all living beings, countless universes, and the entire cycle of reincarnation.

The more his immortal seed parasitizes the body of the will of reincarnation, the more cause and effect he inherits, and the deeper his understanding of cause and effect becomes.

The increasingly strong entanglement of cause and effect gradually created an increasingly close connection between him and the Great Realm of Reincarnation.

As the Great Realm of Reincarnation gradually crumbled, Rosen began to feel a sense of empathy, realizing that he too would perish along with it.

Faced with the ever-approaching death, his survival instinct fueled his frenzied parasitic will to possess the body of reincarnation. Finally, 600,000 years before the destruction of the Great Realm of Reincarnation, he completely inherited all the thousands of entangled causes and effects of the same origin.

In this process, the true nature of the reincarnation will, which is similar to the human brain, is also completely integrated into the fate computer.

Rosen was eagerly anticipating the changes to the Fate Computer, as it might be his only way out.

He discovered that not only did the Seven Great Era Rulers not want him to die, but the Will of Reincarnation also likely did not want to see him die.

Because he is dead, the karmic entanglements that bind him may not necessarily disappear.

Only if he lives can the will of reincarnation escape the entanglement of cause and effect. That's why the will of reincarnation helped him sublimate the God Computer into the Destiny Computer, and even sent its own body to him, all to help him survive this reincarnation era.

As expected, the will of reincarnation will transcend during this period of destruction and rebirth of the Great Realm of Reincarnation.

This is the weakest point in the cycle of reincarnation, and also the easiest time to transcend it.

Therefore, in any case, the will of reincarnation will not watch him die before he transcends.
