Lord: Sequence Master

In the Reincarnation Will's memory world, Rosen used his Eye of Nightfall to locate his fruit clone. The Eye of Nightfall, now fully under his control, allowed him to travel to any place he had ever been, which naturally included places his clones had visited. Thus, guided by the Eye of Nightfall, his true form effortlessly traversed immense distances to reach his fruit clone.

Rosen grasped the fruit clone's shoulder, absorbing it into his body, merging with his true form. This fruit clone of his had grown through parasitizing the mysterious mummy. With a growth period of 160 billion years, and sustained by cosmic vitality, it had barely managed to absorb the cosmic death qi within the mysterious mummy through the Indestructible Source Seed, blossoming and bearing fruit. The resulting fruit clone could simultaneously control the cosmic vitality and cosmic death qi within its body.

However, unlike cosmic vitality, which he could fully master, the cosmic death qi could only be controlled with difficulty. Moreover, the cosmic death qi could even harm him, requiring the cosmic vitality to resist its damage. Compared to cosmic vitality, cosmic death qi was clearly much harder to control.

Rosen is the source of Root power. The Indestructible Source Seed is ultimately just a derivative of the Root Heavenly Eye, and the Root Heavenly Eye is merely a derivative of the Root power he wields. Therefore, the Root power he controls is far more potent than the Indestructible Source Seed.

His Indestructible Will concentrated within his body, carefully sensing the cosmic death qi constantly eroding his cosmic vitality. Countless roots extended towards the cosmic death qi, attempting to further absorb and completely control it. The effect wasn't ideal, but the roots, infused with cosmic vitality, could barely absorb the cosmic death qi.

The two forces, vitality and death qi, simply couldn't coexist harmoniously within Rosen's body. Rosen sent his储备 (stored) Time Essence and Void Essence into his consciousness sea, then attempted to use them to carry the vitality and death qi. As expected, the cosmic vitality smoothly integrated into the Void Essence, and the cosmic death qi smoothly flowed into the Time Essence.

Then, the Time Essence and Void Essence merged into spacetime essence, and vitality and death qi thus achieved a balance. Rosen breathed a sigh of relief; his judgment had indeed been correct. Whether it was vitality or death qi, whether it was Time Essence or Void Essence, all originated from the cosmic barrier. Since they shared the same root, by gathering all the constituent materials of the cosmic barrier, these originally incompatible materials successfully coexisted.

Furthermore, under the power of the Root Universe, countless roots extracted these four special substances, gradually growing a unique Root Fruit. Its growth speed was far faster than imagined, capable of maturing in at most thirty million years. If this were outside, thirty million years would mean the Great Reincarnation Realm would have long been destroyed. However, time acceleration could be performed within the Root Universe, so the Root Fruit could mature in at most ten thousand external years.

Rosen had originally planned to travel to that super universe to court danger, but now he decided to postpone it for ten thousand years. These ten thousand years wouldn't be wasted. He would use the time acceleration to deduce a Reincarnation Sacred Art compatible with cosmic vitality and cosmic death qi.

The deduction process was unexpectedly smooth, because spacetime reincarnation was naturally compatible with cosmic vitality and cosmic death qi. The only Reincarnation Sacred Art Rosen currently controlled was spacetime reincarnation. As the Blue Star Micro-Universe transformed into the Blue Star Universe, he gained a deeper understanding of the perpetually existing spacetime reincarnation on Blue Star, and easily sublimated spacetime reincarnation into a Reincarnation Sacred Art.

Even so, this was still not the upper limit of spacetime reincarnation. The name "Great Reincarnation Realm" was not arbitrary; the "reincarnation" prefix already explained everything. In the entire Great Reincarnation Realm, the most powerful force was reincarnation.

Spacetime reincarnation, life-and-death reincarnation, karma reincarnation, and even the regeneration of the Indestructible Will system were all forms of reincarnation. All powers could only achieve their greatest development potential and strongest might when combined with the concept of reincarnation.

It was precisely because he mastered spacetime reincarnation, and spacetime essence was exceptionally compatible with vitality and death qi. Finally, with the rooting, sprouting, blossoming, and fruiting of the Root, which inherently involved the power of creation and destruction, he naturally deduced the second Reincarnation Sacred Art, life-and-death reincarnation. He was now deducing the third Reincarnation Sacred Art, karma reincarnation.

In the magical city of Blue Star, Rosen looked at the bustling metropolis with its dazzling lights. In Blue Star's endless spacetime reincarnation, he had interfered with and altered history countless times.

However, it was useless. No matter how he tampered with history, this city would always emerge in modern times. There were even many instances where he submerged the city where the magical capital was located, but whether through artificial land reclamation or building cities on the sea, this city would inevitably appear.

Rosen only discovered, through in-depth research, that Blue Star actually possessed karma reincarnation in addition to spacetime reincarnation. The emergence of the modern era was inevitable, as was the appearance of the magical capital. From ancient times to the present, the rise and fall of dynasties showed that minor trends could be altered, but major trends could not. Even if historical monarchs were pulverized, others would inevitably assume their positions under different names. This was karma predetermined, and no matter how things changed, the outcome remained the same.

However, unlike spacetime reincarnation, which was superficial and easy to detect, Blue Star's karma reincarnation was much weaker. If spacetime reincarnation's upper limit surpassed the Reincarnation level, then karma reincarnation's upper limit was at most the Reincarnation level. Although its upper limit was lower, karma reincarnation was more concealed, harder to interact with, and more difficult to master.

To master karma reincarnation, Rosen chose to divide his Indestructible Will and integrate it into hundreds of thousands of different lifeforms. From the memory level, and from the life essence and spirituality levels, he completely replaced these lifeforms. Because those replaced were highly positioned individuals with significant karmic influence, as these replaced clones continuously altered their own life destinies, and then were constantly corrected by predetermined karma, they could better feel the force of karma acting upon them.

Blue Star's spacetime continuously reincarnated, a cycle that, under time acceleration, lasted over twenty million years. After countless different lives and countless struggles against karma, he finally mastered the third Reincarnation Sacred Art: Karma Reincarnation. With karma comes destiny. Rosen continued to attempt to master destiny reincarnation.

However, this time he failed, completely and utterly, without a shred of possibility for success. Because when he tried to use karma reincarnation to master destiny reincarnation, he discovered that the power of destiny reincarnation throughout the entire Great Reincarnation Realm was completely sealed. Only the Reincarnation Will and the two major factions had the ability to do such a thing.

Rosen immediately realized that destiny reincarnation was likely the key reason why the two major factions and the Reincarnation Will had severed ties. Although karma reincarnation also manipulated lives, from the perspective of the outcome, it was relatively easier to accept. If, for an ordinary person, karma dictated that they would become an emperor, few ordinary people would object to such karma.

While destiny could also dictate that an ordinary person would become an emperor, the intermediary process of karma could be self-determined. Karma only focused on the beginning and the end, without forcibly interfering in the middle, whereas destiny would completely control that ordinary person's life, treating them as a puppet.

As Rosen destroyed cosmic remnants, he also continuously delved deeper into the memory world, interacting with Reincarnation Lifeforms from different universes. Although few expressed overt friendliness, the more he interacted, the more secrets he uncovered. Each time the Great Reincarnation Realm was destroyed and restarted, what was restarted was not just space but also time. A new reincarnation cycle wouldn't give birth to new universes. No matter how many times Candlelight Universe restarted its reincarnation, it would still be Candlelight Universe, and Candlelight was destined to be born as a Reincarnation Lifeform.

Therefore, the Great Reincarnation Realm's successive reincarnations were not only spacetime reincarnations but also karma reincarnations. This was actually quite terrifying, giving one the feeling of being in a farm. The Great Reincarnation Realm nurtured countless universes and countless living beings to strengthen spiritual power and ultimately give birth to a Reincarnation Will.

All things seek benefit and avoid harm. Why does a chicken farm owner raise chickens in a standardized, systematic manner? Because it improves farming efficiency, yield, and quality. The Great Reincarnation Realm nurturing universes and living beings operates on the same principle. In every reincarnation cycle of the Candlelight Universe, it's always Candlelight that is born. Why doesn't it give birth to "Blacklight" or "Bluelight" and always remains Candlelight? Because the karma has long been predetermined. Candlelight becoming a Reincarnation Lifeform has been verified as the most scientific and best outcome, most beneficial to the Candlelight Universe's development and the benefits gained by the Great Reincarnation Realm from nurturing life. Therefore, this karma was set by someone unknown.

Among many Reincarnation Lifeforms, there is a saying that the Reincarnation Will was not born for the first time. There is always someone beyond, and the Reincarnation Will, being omnipotent and omniscient within the Great Reincarnation Realm, will eventually experience a sense of weariness. At such times, it might choose self-destruction, or seek a new purpose for existence, with the greatest purpose being to transcend the Great Reincarnation Realm.

So, it's possible that previously born Reincarnation Wills have already transcended the Great Reincarnation Realm. And the current karmic cycle of the Great Reincarnation Realm might have been established by a Reincarnation Will that once transcended.

Of course, if the Great Reincarnation Realm truly has a higher-level "farmer," then this karma reincarnation might also originate from that farmer. The existence of karma reincarnation first maximized the Great Reincarnation Realm's spiritual gain, and second, it benefited Reincarnation Lifeforms because no matter how spacetime reincarnated, Reincarnation Lifeforms would always remain Reincarnation Lifeforms. While karma was unchangeable, they could autonomously control the intermediary process of their lives.

The emergence of the Indestructible Will extraordinary system led Reincarnation Lifeforms to further endorse this constant karma reincarnation. Since they couldn't change the Great Reincarnation Realm's successive reincarnations, they chose to retain their memories and enjoy different lives with each reincarnation. Therefore, the Indestructible Will extraordinary system was embraced by Reincarnation Lifeforms, but this extraordinary system was intolerable to the Reincarnation Will.

The reason is simple: indestructible memories are a manifestation of power and spirituality. When Reincarnation Lifeforms retain indestructible memories and undergo reincarnation and rebirth, after numerous cycles, they will inevitably develop a desire to transcend. Thus, each reincarnation makes them stronger.

However, as Reincarnation Lifeforms grow stronger and occupy more resources, the Great Reincarnation Realm's remaining resources dwindle. And the birth of a Reincarnation Will requires an astronomical amount of spiritual resources. The birth of the current Reincarnation Will, due to the emergence of the Indestructible Will extraordinary system, has almost become an unrepeatable miracle. There might have been many Reincarnation Wills in the past, but it's almost impossible for a new Reincarnation Will to be born in the future.

This situation, naturally, could not be tolerated by the Reincarnation Will, which had barely managed to be born itself. Not only did it almost perish prematurely, but it also had to watch as the Great Reincarnation Realm, which it could have absolutely controlled, had its benefits stolen by a group of Reincarnation Lifeforms it considered mere livestock. Unable to bear it any longer, the Reincarnation Will decided to transform karma reincarnation into destiny reincarnation.

While karma reincarnation still allowed for control over the intermediary process of one's life, destiny reincarnation meant becoming a complete puppet manipulated by others. This is why the two major factions, who had been hostile for many reincarnation cycles, united to eliminate the Reincarnation Will. The two sides could not coexist; it was a matter of "you die or I die." The power of destiny reincarnation was also completely sealed by the two major factions as a result.

Rosen regretfully ended his deduction of destiny reincarnation and began deducing the fusion of the three Reincarnation Sacred Arts. Spacetime Reincarnation, Life-and-Death Reincarnation, and Karma Reincarnation, when cast individually, simply couldn't compare to their combined power.

But fusion was easier said than done. In combat, it required not just fusion, but also speed. If a Reincarnation Sacred Art took an hour to cast, no matter how powerful it was, it would be inferior to a Primeval Sacred Art that could be cast instantly. While the fusion of multiple Reincarnation Sacred Arts was indeed more powerful, the casting time changed from instantaneous to extraordinarily long.

To shorten the casting time, the best method was to increase the fusion speed. But this was the most difficult approach, perhaps even an impossible one. Therefore, Rosen chose another method to shorten the casting time: he would fuse the three Reincarnation Sacred Arts in advance, then seal them, and instantly cast them during combat. Although sealing Reincarnation Sacred Arts was also difficult, it was infinitely easier than directly increasing the fusion speed.

In the mysterious study, Rosen took out a spiritual realm painting containing an entire universe. The paper of this painting was a cosmic barrier, and the painting itself contained an entire universe. Because he had acquired too much cosmic vitality that he couldn't use, and it felt inappropriate to let it go to waste, and he also needed to acquire cosmic death qi to master Life-and-Death Reincarnation, he sealed nascent universes into paintings. When needed, he would destroy them to convert their cosmic vitality into cosmic death qi.

If he relied on these universes in the painting, bearing the fusion of the three Reincarnation Sacred Arts would definitely not be difficult. Although destroying a universe was required for each casting, the power unleashed by the fusion of the three great Reincarnation Sacred Arts, achieved by sacrificing a universe, would undoubtedly be terrifying. Each universe in the painting would become a trump card against powerful enemies.

Sealing spacetime reincarnation was simple, as the cosmic barrier itself was composed of spacetime essence combined with spacetime origin. Sealing life-and-death reincarnation was more troublesome; the cosmic barrier only had cosmic vitality, not cosmic death qi. Sealing karma reincarnation was even harder; a blank universe did not possess powerful karmic force.

Therefore, he first had to accelerate time within the universe, then create life and develop civilization. During this process, he would integrate karma reincarnation into countless lives and civilizations, then solidify spacetime reincarnation within it, and finally destroy the universe to generate cosmic death qi, then use spacetime reincarnation to reverse everything and restart it.

The entire process consumed a considerable amount of cosmic vitality. The cosmic vitality from three universes was needed to complete one sealing. Moreover, this was just for individual sealing; he also had to deeply fuse the three Reincarnation Sacred Arts within the universe in the painting. Rosen spent millions of years on this one painting, consuming the cosmic vitality of five universes in paintings before finally creating a universe-in-painting that integrated the three Reincarnation Sacred Arts, gaining a trump card capable of posing a fatal threat to Reincarnation Lifeforms.
