Lord: Sequence Master

In the almost absolute darkness of endless deep space, the Ark of Doom continued its journey, pulling the New Universe through the void. They were nearing the Void Universe remnant, and no one knew what would happen when the two universes came into close contact.

Rosen also had no idea. So, using his Life Magnetic Field to enter deeper spacetime and aided by the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, he rushed back to the Ark of Doom as fast as possible. Even with both traveling towards each other, it took three thousand years to return from the Void Universe remnant.

Time in endless deep space had become incredibly cheap, especially for Primeval Lifeforms. After landing on the deck, Rosen left his Yinglong Clone to activate its Life Magnetic Field, helping the Ark of Doom accelerate. His true body had already entered the New Universe, preparing to use its power to temporarily suppress the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye, which could go out of control at any moment.

Returning to the Ark of Doom took three millennia, and the Ark of Doom's journey to the Void Universe remnant took another four millennia. After a total of seven millennia, the New Universe finally reached the Void Universe remnant.

The closer it got, the more the New Universe felt an instinctive craving. Although the Void Universe remnant had lost its Cosmic Origin Sea and its Heart of the Universe, its cosmic barrier was largely preserved. This was because the Void Universe's origin disappeared so rapidly that it didn't even have the means to completely self-destruct.

The New Universe was interested only in the Void Universe remnant's cosmic barrier; no one could say if consuming it would be good or bad. Rosen left the New Universe and stepped onto the Ark of Doom's deck, retrieving the Chaos Micro-Universe that had been towing the New Universe. He then instantly transformed into the Void Giant God, extending his Life Magnetic Field to form a Life Space that encompassed the Void Universe remnant, gradually drawing it in.

If the Void Universe had been intact, the Void Giant God's Life Space wouldn't have been able to contain it. But since it was just an empty shell, the Life Space Rosen unleashed was enough to encompass it temporarily. Rosen brought the Void Universe remnant to the New Universe's Cosmic Origin Sea. Within the Life Space, he swung the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe with world-destroying power towards the cosmic barrier. The already fragmented cosmic barrier immediately shattered completely, and the Life Space swiftly sent the pieces away for the New Universe to digest.

As each cosmic barrier fragment was digested by the Cosmic Origin Sea, the New Universe's cosmic barrier began to change. Previously, once the cosmic barrier shrunk to a certain extent, it became impossible to make it any smaller. But now, not only could the exterior continue to shrink, but the countless planes within also began to expand at the spacetime level.

It was only then that Rosen truly realized that the most precious thing in a universe was not the Cosmic Origin Sea or the Heart of the Universe; the cosmic barrier was a universe's most valuable asset, as it formed the true core of the universe. As for the Heart of the Universe and the Cosmic Origin Sea, they were merely byproducts of the universe within the cosmic barrier.

Because the cosmic barrier is the core, a shattered cosmic barrier essentially condemned the universe to death. The Third Generation New Universe could undergo two destructions and rebirths precisely because only its Heart of the Universe was destroyed. If the cosmic barrier had suffered irreparable damage, the Heart of the Universe would not have had the chance for two consecutive destructions and rebirths.

So, for the New Universe, consuming the Void Universe's cosmic barrier fragments was definitely a great boon, significantly boosting its foundation. However, good often comes with bad. While the Cosmic Origin Sea and the Heart of the Universe are byproducts of the cosmic barrier, that doesn't mean they are unimportant. Without sufficient cosmic origin, the internal universe would simply suffer from underdevelopment.

The New Universe was already hungry, and now it had progressed from hunger to near starvation. If it couldn't be fed, it would instinctively expand in size, instinctively move rapidly through endless deep space to absorb spacetime origin, and then unknowingly incur the endless deep space's displeasure. Rosen dared not imagine what it would encounter next.

Rosen's first reaction was to stop feeding the New Universe and prevent its cosmic barrier from growing further. However, just as he was about to discard the remaining cosmic barrier fragments of the Void Universe, the New Universe itself was already at its limit of hunger. The New Universe instinctively wanted to expand, but the Indestructible Source Seed integrated into the Heart of the Universe suppressed this expansion.

Under the contradictory impact of instinctive expansion and active suppression, the New Universe underwent a new change. The cosmic barrier fragments that the New Universe consumed no longer integrated into the cosmic barrier itself. Instead, they integrated into the Cosmic Origin Sea and were broken down into cosmic origin. With a continuous supply of cosmic origin, the New Universe, which had stopped growing, quickly became full.

Rosen went to the Cosmic Origin Sea and used his Life Magnetic Field to collect some substances invisible to the naked eye. These were special substances remaining after the cosmic barrier fragments were broken down by the Cosmic Origin Sea, aside from cosmic origin. This substance, combined with cosmic origin, formed the Void Universe's cosmic barrier. This substance was difficult to observe by any known means other than a biological magnetic field.

Rosen used the Miracle Star Sea to decompose, assimilate, and analyze this substance, discovering that it was a special kind of extraordinary essence. Based on its extraordinary attributes, this extraordinary essence should be called Void Essence.

The levels of extraordinary essence vary; the definition of essence is the most fundamental substance of extraordinary power. Different levels of extraordinary power will form different levels of extraordinary essence, and extraordinary essences from different extraordinary systems usually have different names. These Void Essences, however, were a level higher than even the Primeval rank.

If these Void Essences were used to craft treasures, it was possible to create artifacts that surpassed Primeval Sacred Objects. If integrated into spatial abilities, one might obtain skills that transcended Primeval Sacred Laws. Rosen took out the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and tried to infuse it with Void Essence. As expected, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe accepted it readily.

He then took out more Void Essence and integrated it into the Life Space generated by the Life Talent originating from the Void Giant God. After the space formed by the Life Magnetic Field fused with the Void Essence, its strength and size increased astonishingly. He immediately integrated all the remaining Void Essence into his Life Space without hesitation.

While repairing the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was good, Life Space was an inherent ability. Although the Life Space talent originated from the Void Giant God, the Life Space itself was formed by Rosen's own Life Origin through the Life Magnetic Field. Therefore, if this Life Space became stronger, it would help him suppress and completely digest the Void Giant God's Life Origin.

After the last portion of Void Essence was fused, Rosen sensed the changes in his Life Space. With a thought, he expanded his Life Space, and then, using it, opened a Spacetime Trans- 界 Gate. The Spacetime Trans-界 Gate, which normally relied on laws and had become ineffective in endless deep space, could now be reopened using the Life Space. Although the transmission distance was vastly inferior to that within a universe, it was no longer inferior to the spacetime rifts cleaved by the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe.

If both methods were used alternately, his travel speed in endless deep space would undoubtedly become much faster. Rosen expanded his Life Space to encompass the New Universe. Logically, even if the Life Space was now strengthened beyond the Primeval level, it should be impossible to encompass and carry the New Universe. However, as expected, the New Universe quietly remained within the Life Space.

It was highly probable that the New Universe's cosmic barrier had fused with Void Essence, and the Life Space had also fused with Void Essence. The homologous Void Essence granted the Life Space a special carrying capacity for the New Universe. Now able to carry the New Universe with him, reaching an adjacent cosmic remnant would take less than ten thousand years at most.

Rosen looked at the former location of the Void Universe remnant in endless deep space. Now, with the disappearance of the cosmic remnant, the void was shrouded in the darkness of the night, and from it, a Nightfall Parasitic Flower emerged, which his Eye of Nightfall intensely craved. He immediately activated his Eye of Nightfall, and the Nightfall Parasitic Flower, locked onto by his gaze, instantly vanished and integrated into his Eye of Nightfall.

Rosen distinctly felt that his Eye of Nightfall, at that instant, achieved astonishing growth, no less than that of the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye. The Eye of Nightfall also began to transform. The imbalance of strength that had existed between the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye and the Eye of Nightfall was thus easily resolved. His only concern now was to control the two transformed eyes.

Endless deep space made future predictions impossible, and even within the New Universe, it was impossible to predict existences beyond Eternal. Rosen could only take one step at a time, releasing his Yinglong Clone to pilot the Ark of Doom. The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, the Spacetime Trans-界 Gate, and the Ark of Doom, which could enter deeper spacetime enveloped by the Life Magnetic Field—he used whichever navigation method was off cooldown, quietly approaching the next cosmic remnant in endless deep space.

Rosen's true body also entered the New Universe, using its power to suppress the Void Giant God's Life Origin. He instantly used time acceleration to deduce a more perfect and powerful Primeval Sacred Law. Days and years passed, and Rosen grew continuously.

Because his Life Origin was severely excessive, he used the power of his roots to absorb his own Life Origin and convert it into Divine Origin. He then used Divine Origin to cultivate Eternal Will, and finally obtained more Indestructible Will by sublimating Eternal Will. Six thousand years later, nearing the next universe, Rosen's Indestructible Will had already surpassed five thousand.

Moreover, it was a trinity, with each aspect surpassing five thousand, meaning the total amount of Indestructible Will exceeded fifteen thousand. This was five times stronger than when he first advanced to a Primeval Lifeform. The increased strength of his Indestructible Will also directly led to a further increase in his travel speed. Thus, it only took six thousand years to reach the next cosmic remnant.

The Yinglong Clone naturally took on the role of scouting, venturing deep into the cosmic remnant, enduring the mysterious white light originating from the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye. This time, however, there was no attack. Although the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye hadn't finished its transformation, it could already see things under the shroud of the mysterious white light. The Yinglong Clone easily reached the center of the universe.

The entire universe's interior contained no matter or energy, exactly like the Void Universe. And there was no existence similar to the Void Giant God here; there was only a white sun continuously emitting mysterious white light. Rosen tried to control this white sun with his Dark Sun Heavenly Eye, but he couldn't. However, the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye could absorb this white sun. As the white sun integrated into the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye, he once again expanded his Life Magnetic Field to encompass the cosmic remnant from the outside.

This time, he didn't even need to transform into the Void Giant God; his own Life Space could accomplish this. The New Universe's Cosmic Origin Sea still integrated half of the cosmic remnant into its cosmic barrier, and then decomposed the other half of the cosmic barrier into cosmic origin. However, this time, what remained was no longer Void Matter, but a special, difficult-to-identify essence.

Rosen tried to integrate this special essence into his various abilities, but it proved impossible to fuse with anything. In the end, he could only collect it. He then used his Eye of Nightfall to absorb the Nightfall Parasitic Flower that appeared after the cosmic remnant vanished.

The journey took six millennia, but consuming a cosmic remnant completely took less than a year. Rosen reluctantly continued his journey, beginning his endless, ceaseless wandering through the deep space. Over the next ten thousand years, the New Universe successively consumed a third and a fourth cosmic remnant.

The special essences harvested from these two instances were still useless. The biggest gain was that his trinity of Indestructible Will had each grown to ten thousand points. The two parts seemed to have reached the limit for a Primeval Lifeform, and he could no longer digest the Void Giant God's Life Origin through the growth of his Indestructible Will.

Clearly, the notion that a Primeval Lifeform's Indestructible Will has no upper limit was simply because the Lunar Saint God and Void Saint God hadn't reached their limits. Five millennia later, upon reaching the fifth cosmic remnant, Rosen finally had a new breakthrough.

This time, the special essence he gained was Time Essence. Since Life Space was purely spatial and couldn't integrate Time Essence, he chose to integrate it into his History Camera, which directly caused the History Camera to transform into a Transcendent-level miracle treasure, surpassing the Primeval tier.

What was originally stuck at the Eternal-level miracle sequence directly leaped past the Primeval level to reach the Transcendent level. Although the miracle sequence had advanced, the other miracle treasures integrated into it couldn't simultaneously sublimate to the Transcendent level; they could at most grow to the Primeval Sacred Object level. This outcome already delighted Rosen.

Rosen spent the next few millennia studying the History Camera's leapfrogging transformation. This device could now even affect time in endless deep space. It couldn't capture the future, but it could capture the past, which meant that upon reaching the next cosmic remnant, he might be able to see the past history of that universe through the History Camera.

At the sixth cosmic remnant, Rosen set up the History Camera with great anticipation. He succeeded and failed simultaneously. The History Camera could indeed view past history, but the cosmic remnant had been destroyed too long ago. The Time Essence integrated into the History Camera had limited power, so the History Camera couldn't capture the timeline before the universe's destruction.

Disappointed, Rosen cast the History Camera aside once more and resumed his aimless wandering. His routine became: pinpoint a cosmic remnant, approach it, destroy it, and then seek out a new one. Rosen gradually became numb to this cycle, until the 13th cosmic remnant brought a new surprise.

While destroying the 13th cosmic remnant, he once again acquired a portion of Void Essence. This made him realize that the essence formed after a universe's destruction could sometimes be duplicated. If one portion of Time Essence wasn't enough for the History Camera to capture the time before a universe's destruction, then more portions of Time Essence would eventually achieve it. His current concern was whether the History Camera could withstand more Time Essence.

This concern persisted until he consumed the 21st cosmic remnant, and the History Camera successfully integrated a second portion of Time Essence. Hope is crucial; without hope, life loses its meaning. Finding more Void Essence and Time Essence became Rosen's hope and motivation for wandering in endless deep space.

However, the distances between different cosmic remnants varied, ranging from millennia to tens of millennia of repeated travel. Coupled with the tenfold time acceleration within the New Universe amplified by Time Essence, Rosen finally understood the true purpose behind the Ancient Gods' slumber. After killing and reading the Ancient Gods' memories, he learned their true reason for sleeping.

Living too long and experiencing too much, choosing to sleep allowed them to forget unimportant memories and regain a fresh perspective on things they had grown tired of. This was the true value of slumber; otherwise, endless life for intelligent beings would be a painful torment. So, Rosen also learned to slumber, and time completely lost its meaning to him in sleep.

However, unlike the Ancient Gods' slumber, he grew stronger every time he awoke. This was because every time he consumed a new cosmic remnant, the New Universe grew stronger. The New Universe had already surpassed its Primeval Universe era, and what was once its most core Eternal Plane had unconsciously evolved into a Primeval Plane.

This meant that the New Universe could now give birth to naturally occurring Primeval Lifeforms. Rosen originally controlled only one percent of the Heart of the Universe. As cosmic remnants were devoured by the New Universe, and as the Heart of the Universe repeatedly grew and evolved, his Root Seed had already completely fused with the Heart of the Universe, successfully transforming the New Universe into his new clone.
