Lord: Sequence Master

At the summon of the three executive directors, all board members of Paradise Pharmaceuticals gathered in the meeting room one after another.

In front of each person lay two documents.

The first detailed the background of Richard Phoenix, a prisoner exiled from the Divine Wood Empire. Originally accused of poisoning Duke Dexter due to his looks, he had been sent to the Chaotic Sea. There, he displayed exceptional artistic talent and joined Paradise Pharmaceuticals. However, his true brilliance lay in his terrifying skill in analyzing genetic life maps.

Due to his outstanding performance, the three executive directors had decided to evaluate Richard half a year ago.

In just six months, Richard collaborated with Greta, a senior researcher from the medical department, to decipher the life gene maps of natural fairies. They even went further, creating a new species of fairy.

According to calculations from the medical division, the production of Essence Seaweed was projected to increase by over a thousand times in the future.

None of the directors were fools—they could all see that Richard, despite his pretty face, must have had Lucia's backing. Without it, they couldn't explain Greta's remarkable achievements. However, promoting Greta would mean significantly expanding Lucia's influence—something they couldn't allow.

"I have no objection to Richard becoming a director, but Greta is still lacking."

"I share the same opinion…"

"I also don't support Greta's promotion…"

Nearly all the directors opposed Greta's promotion but welcomed Richard's ascension.

The reason was obvious: Richard was merely a Sequence 6 Painter, not a doctor. No matter how talented he was, he posed no threat to their authority or their positions. In fact, his abilities could benefit them all financially.

Greta, however, was a different story. With enough time and resources, she could easily surpass Lucia and threaten their influence.

Lucia understood the situation perfectly. If she wanted their approval, she needed to offer a compromise.

"Greta prefers the research lab. She only needs the title of Director, not the authority."

With this statement, the directors relented.

In Paradise Pharmaceuticals, credit points could either be exchanged for valuable resources or used for promotions.

However, promotions only held value if they came with authority. Since Greta voluntarily gave up her rights, the directors saw no further reason to oppose her nominal promotion. After all, refusing at this point would only make them appear petty and vindictive.

Unlike Greta, Rosen gained the full rights of a Director.

After receiving his appointment, Rosen's first order was to mobilize the medical department to produce Divine Blood Awakening Potions.

As a Director of Paradise Pharmaceuticals, Rosen now held significant authority:

He could mobilize resources from multiple departments.

He could customize exclusive medications reserved only for directors.

He had the right to form private armed forces.

He could negotiate and trade with external forces independently.

A few days later, Rosen successfully obtained eleven Divine Blood Awakening Potions.

It wasn't that he didn't want more—the necessary raw materials had simply been exhausted.

Each injection increased the Ancient God Bloodline Awakening by 1%.

After nine injections, the awakening reached 10%. However, the last two doses only raised it to 11%, indicating that the potion's efficacy weakened beyond the 10% threshold.

Now, Rosen was left pondering what his final Noble Sequence 5 skill would be.

Would he refine a new supernatural building, or would he gain an entirely unique skill?

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long for an answer. The moment his Ancient God Blood Awakening hit 10%, the Noble Supernatural Essence automatically merged with the Ancient God Bloodline, unlocking the third special skill of the Ancient God Sequence:

[Ten Directions Annihilate: Reverse the Ancient God's Origin Realm, and use Ten Directions Annihilate to condense the Ancient God's True Blood]

Rosen understood immediately—the Ten Directions Annihilate was one of the most terrifying techniques of the Ancient God Sequence.

His previously acquired ability, the Ancient God Origin Realm, had already transformed his Divine Territory into a rudimentary Ancient God Realm.

With the continuous infusion of resources over the years, the radius of his Ancient God Realm had expanded tenfold, turning it into a formidable power center.

The original radius was 5.8 kilometers, and now it had grown to a radius of 58 kilometers.

The radius increased tenfold, and the area increased a hundredfold.

However, even the Ancient God Origin Realm could not bring about a qualitative change in the God's Domain Territory at Sequence 5. Only when the Sequence 3 divine domain was fully integrated with the rules of authority would it truly become the strongest trump card of a demigod.

But now that all ten directions had been destroyed, everything was completely different.

The ten directions referred to the ten forces of up, down, east, south, west, north, time, space, life, and death. Under the influence of the Annihilation of Ten Directions, the Ancient God Source Realm would reverse the entire divine territory from five-dimensional space to zero-dimensional space, producing extremely terrible destructive power in the process.

The divine territory of Sequence 5 could instantly kill Sequence 3 using the power of Ten Directions Annihilation. In the divine territory of Sequence 1, the power of Ten Directions Annihilation could even be used to kill true gods instantly.

The Annihilation of All Directions method could always kill the enemy instantly across two sequence levels below the level of the Great True God.

Such a horrific method naturally came at a heavy price.

Every time the Ten Directions Annihilation was performed, the divine domain would be completely destroyed and degraded to Sequence 9. A large amount of resources had to be reinvested from Sequence 9 to quickly recover. At lower sequence levels, this resource loss was still manageable.

However, once the divine territory became the divine kingdom, casting the Ten Directions Annihilation once would be enough to easily bankrupt someone.

Rosen was now considering where to find a demigod to destroy all ten directions.

Although performing Ten Directions Annihilation consumed horrifying amounts of energy, it could also condense the true blood of ancient gods. Strictly speaking, the killing effect of Ten Directions Annihilation was only incidental, while condensing the true blood of ancient gods was the main purpose of this ability.

…

In the Dark Continent of the Ancient God Realm, the Crucible City was the only city of the Hill Dwarves.

Don't be fooled by their name—Hill Dwarves actually belonged to a clan of giants, but their bloodline had mutated, causing them to be born shorter than humans. However, after reaching adulthood, they had a certain chance of mastering the special skill of being like a god descending to earth.

All Hill Dwarves who cast the Avatar spell could transform into giants.

However, even after transforming into giants, their combat power could only be ranked at mid-tier among the giants.

Lacking an advantage in raw strength, the ancestors of the Hill Dwarves chose to develop rune forging technology.

As a result, among the hundreds of thousands of Hill Dwarves in Crucible City, more than half were top-level rune forgers.

When Rosen purchased this alien spiritual realm, he had to pay a high price for other spiritual realms, but the cost for acquiring this realm was relatively low.

Unfortunately, the Hill Dwarves were incredibly stubborn. Even though the torch of civilization was in Rosen's hands, they had no intention of submitting to him.

If it weren't such a waste to kill them, Rosen's temperament would have driven him to massacre the entire Crucible City long ago.

But his patience was limited, and Rosen was no longer willing to endure it.

He also planned to use the power of the Hill Dwarves to help him infiltrate and control Titan Heavy Industries.

As the name suggested, the clan controlling Titan Heavy Industries was a clan of giants.

In Crucible City, the Hill Dwarf King Jovan stood at the highest point of the palace, overlooking the forging furnaces scattered across the city.

The memory of the Hill Dwarves' destruction by humans had not faded, even after their resurrection.

He still retained many memories from the spiritual realm.

He clearly remembered how humans had entered the spiritual realm repeatedly, how they had slaughtered his people in front of him, and how they had tortured his family just to extract more secrets about Hill Dwarves' forging technology from him.

Because of the Dwarf King's inheritance, even the spiritual realm reset could not completely erase his memory.

After tens of thousands of years of being unable to live or die, his hatred for humans had reached an indelible level. Even though the humans who resurrected Crucible City were kind to the Hill Dwarves, he could not overcome the threshold in his heart or forget his hatred for humans.

But Jovan knew deep down that if the weak did not accept the kindness of the strong, eventually, that kindness would run out, leaving behind only the wrath of thunder.

If he were alone, he would have shed his last drop of blood to kill just one human.

But he was still the Dwarf King, and he still had family and tribesmen to protect.

The ones he owed the most were his family. Because he was the Dwarf King, his family had suffered through every spiritual realm reset, unable to live or die. Now they were living a peaceful life, free from those horrible memories, and he couldn't bear to see them die in front of him again.

Rosen appeared silently next to Jovan through the transmission of world authority.

"If you've thought it through…"

Rosen couldn't help but ask one last time.

If he had any other choice, he truly didn't want to kill Jovan, the only Sequence 3 Hill Dwarf.

What a waste it would be! Jovan was undoubtedly a high-end talent.

He would rather enslave him than kill him.

He was even willing to give Jovan more chances, hoping that he would compromise for the sake of his family and tribe.

But he didn't expect that Jovan's hatred for humans was beyond his imagination.

No wonder some alien races believed that the world government would sooner or later be destroyed by the backlash of the spiritual realm.

There was some truth to this. Humans treated the spiritual realm as a dungeon. Resetting life memories was possible, but high-sequence memories were difficult to completely erase.

The hatred accumulated over countless resets was irreconcilable.

If one day, humans could no longer suppress all spiritual realms, it would give the alien races within those realms a chance to completely revive and escape.

By that time, mankind would inevitably face the most brutal revenge.

"This is the bottom line I can do."

Jovan replied with a broken heart.

Whenever he thought about how his people would have to worship humans as their masters, he wished everything would be destroyed.

However, his guilt towards his family and his responsibility to his people forced him to make the most painful decision against his conscience.

"Are you ready?"

Rosen asked finally.

Jovan nodded. He knew very well that he could die, but his Sequence 3 forging skills could not disappear.

Otherwise, this horrible human would rather enslave him than give him the relief of death.

…

Half an hour later, in Rosen's divine territory.

Jovan looked at the humans a thousand meters away and could no longer suppress his hatred for them.

Anger and hatred almost overwhelmed his rationality, but fortunately, his well-honed fighting instinct prevented his combat power from being affected by blind rage.

He still wanted to see if he could kill this human and find another way out.

God has descended to earth!

The Titan blood in Jovan's body returned to its ancestral form, and he instantly transformed into an earth giant with the power of a god descending to earth.

With his feet planted firmly on the earth, his life and power became endless. Wielding the massive hammer in his hand, he charged towards Rosen, ready to unleash his hatred.

However, at the moment Jovan charged, Rosen had already performed the Ten Directions Annihilation.

Jovan, at the peak of Sequence 3, and with the inheritance of the Dwarf King, was without a doubt the most terrifying opponent Rosen had ever encountered.

Even if Rosen tried to defeat Jovan head-on, it would have been extremely difficult.

So Jovan deserved to die under the power of Ten Directions Annihilation.

The entire divine territory collapsed instantly, from five-dimensional space to zero-dimensional space.

The whole process took less than a billionth of a second, not even enough time to be measured.

To be precise, there was no concept of time from the start to the end of the Annihilation of All Directions.

There was no chance for Jovan to resist or escape.

Jovan was reduced to ashes in an instant, and two more light balls appeared in Rosen's scavenging space.

The divine territory collapsed into zero-dimensional space, and at this moment, under the power of the Ten Directions Annihilation, a drop of Sequence 5 Ancient God's True Blood was condensed. At the same time, the divine territory exhausted its resources and began to regenerate a new divine territory under the influence of the Ancient God's Origin Realm skills.

The new divine territory retained the original territory characteristics, but the territory level had degenerated to Sequence 9.

Rosen continuously sent spiritual crystals and various basic resources that made up the world into the Divine Realm. Soon, the Divine Realm was upgraded smoothly all the way back to Sequence 5. However, at this level, it was no longer possible to perform the Ten Directions Annihilation, for at each sequence level, the Ten Directions Annihilation could only be performed once at most.

Rosen looked at the Ancient God's True Blood in his hand, which resembled a golden gem. Even if he became a true god in the future, he could only harvest seven drops of the Ancient God's True Blood at different sequence levels. The value of this True Blood, harvested at such a great cost, was unimaginable.

The True Blood of the Ancient Gods—why is it called "True"?

Because, in essence, neither the Ancient God Sequence nor the Ancient God Civilization were the real ancient gods. The so-called ancient gods of the Ancient God Civilization were simply a special race of people born from primitive humans imitating the ancient gods. Even if the ancient god blood in his body were 100% awakened, it could never be compared to the real ancient gods.

However, the True Blood of the Ancient Gods was, in theory, infinitely close to the bloodline of the real ancient gods.

Thus, the True Blood of the ancient gods possessed terrifying power and, in the main world, it was nearly like a universal wish-making machine.

Because the entire main world was within the ancient god's body, the True Blood of the Ancient Gods could directly pry open the underlying rules of the world.

Rosen could customize a Sequence 5 Miracle Treasure, or even a Miracle Soldier Building, based on his own needs. He could also create a Sequence 5 skill, such as making role-playing an innate skill without difficulty.

He could even integrate the True Blood of the Ancient Gods into his own ancient god bloodline, allowing the awakening degree to grow directly to 30% without issue.

Precisely because of its great value and omniscience, Rosen didn't know how to maximize the potential of the Ancient God's True Blood.

Rosen sat there for three days and three nights before finally making up his mind.

He pressed the Ancient God's True Blood into his right eye without hesitation.

[Hunting God Eyes: Miracle Eye Technique]

[Level: Sequence 5]

[Miracle attribute: Whatever you think in your heart, the Hunter God Eye can see it]

[Miracle Features: Magic Eye Photography, Data Transfer, Miracle Synthesis, Furnace Destruction, Unique in the World, Eternal Immortality]

Rosen thought of Lucia, and his right eye immediately showed Lucia bathing with Greta.

When he thought of Susan, he immediately saw the Viscount lady with a sad face, far away in the Blue Whale Kingdom.

Susan had inherited her late husband's title and dropped from earl to viscount. It was clear that Susan's current situation wasn't looking very good.

It was true that whatever he thought in his mind could be seen. Rosen couldn't help but want to see what Damon's father was doing.

However, this time, he didn't see it directly, and the Hunter's Magic Eyes instinctively gave a warning.

The moment he looked at Damon's father, Damon's father would also discover his spying.

Rosen stopped and didn't insist on looking. If he really wanted to see it, he would need to go to the mysterious study.

He continued experimenting with the four miraculous features. After activating Magic Eye Photography, anything he saw could be photographed directly through the Hunter Magic Eye. Then, through data transmission, he could upload it to the main god's computer, as well as to the virtual world of the left eye's virtual world pupil technique and any network world.

It could even be uploaded to the main god network and the deep web of the spiritual world. The current magic eye shooting, combined with data uploading, made this possible.

Of course, data transmission could be uploaded and downloaded, but the prerequisite for downloading was that the thing must have been uploaded by him.

Next was miracle synthesis, which had once been possible only five times a day. Now, there was no limit to how many times miracles could be synthesized. The only restriction was the amount of spiritual power available.

The biggest change this brought was that it would no longer be so difficult to synthesize and upgrade the Ash Hive in the future.

Finally, there was furnace destruction, which generated a special furnace space inside the God Hunter's Eye. All the things that were photographed, uploaded, and fell into this furnace would be destroyed. The furnace could then also extract the essence of the destroyed items.

Rosen took out some spiritual crystals and extraordinary objects, even a few spiritual paintings, and uploaded all the data.

Then, thinking of Susan, he directly downloaded the data through the smart watch on Susan's hand.

Susan, who had been worried about her business failure, suddenly saw a bunch of treasures around her.

Picking up a spiritual painting, Susan burst into tears upon seeing the emblem imprint on it.

She was touched that Rosen had not forgotten her, but also a bit sad that Rosen hadn't come to see her.

How could Rosen let the beauty suffer such an injustice? Without hesitation, he dug out his right eye, placed it into his self-portrait's body, and then took a photo of his real body. He uploaded it, downloaded it, and appeared behind Susan, hugging her.

All the properties and characteristics of the God Hunter's Eye had been carefully customized by Rosen using the true blood of the ancient gods.

Now, he no longer needed a backer. With the data transmission from the Godhunter's Eye, it would be impossible for even Sequence 0 to catch him.

Rosen and Susan stayed up all night. The next morning, Susan transferred the title to her niece.

The nobles living in the Blue Whale Kingdom had a very small living circle. After all, the space inside the Void Blue Whale was limited. So, when Susan learned that he controlled a private world with a population of over 10 billion, she chose to give up her title without hesitation and settle in the Ancient God Realm.

Instead of returning to the chaotic sea immediately, Rosen decided to visit the king of the Blue Whale Kingdom. He wanted to try and see if he could buy a baby Void Blue Whale.

Out of caution, Rosen was thinking of Basque Brown, the king of the Blue Whale Kingdom.

This time, he really found the problem. He had Susan's housekeeper deliver gifts in his name, and then Basque sold him out. It turned out that Basque knew about the underground bounty placed on him by Damon's father.

Rosen sighed. It seemed that Susan's entire family would be transferred to the Ancient God Realm.

"I can't stay here and get killed by him," he thought.

He didn't need to go to the store to buy the Void Blue Whale. He just thought about the Void Blue Whale cubs in his mind, filmed the only three Void Blue Whale cubs, stole them all, and silently returned to Paradise Island through data transmission.

Rosen continued to explore the Magic Eyes of the Hunting God, trying to rely on it to find treasure.

This time, he did make a harvest, but it wasn't as great as expected.

The God Hunter's Magic Eyes could see whatever he was thinking. Even Sequence 0 could not escape its surveillance. However, it was much more difficult to spy on dead objects than on living things, especially miracle treasures. His God Hunter's Magic Eyes couldn't see anything in them.

It was a bit difficult to make a big fortune by relying on the Hunting God's Magic Eyes to find treasures.

In the following days, Rosen also discovered that the strength of the God Hunter's Magic Eyes was affected by many factors. It would be stronger in places with a network, and the consumption would be reduced in places with eyes. The consumption would increase significantly in places without a network and without eyes.

Although there were some minor restrictions, he had seen many secrets through the God Hunter's Eye over the past few days.

Even if he wanted to, with the help of the Godhunter's Magic Eyes, he could definitely become the most mysterious thief in the world.
