Lord: Sequence Master

At the edge of the super universe, Rosen sat on the deck of the Doomsday Ark, setting up a table and chairs. After sitting down, he took out the Splendid Map, placed it on the table, and activated it. This Miracle Sequence Miracle Treasure, originally, could only present and edit everything in the Splendid Continent from a God's perspective. It also contained the Splendid Painting Realm, capable of holding the Splendid Continent, making it akin to a spiritual painting whose contents could be freely modified.

However, as his power increased, the Splendid Map gradually became forgotten, unable to keep up with his strength. But as he harvested more and more cosmic vitality during the destruction of cosmic remnants, and as he gained control of more universes, the Splendid Map also benefited. The Splendid Painting Realm had now ascended to the Splendid Universe, and the map could present more than just a God's perspective of the Splendid Continent.

Rosen not only integrated a large amount of spacetime source essence into the Splendid Map, but also stripped his Reincarnation Organ, the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye, and integrated it into the map. He now possessed the Root Heavenly Eye, which was the most suitable Reincarnation Organ for him. While the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye was good, it was a mass-produced Reincarnation Organ of the Dark Sun faction. It might have hidden dangers, so he directly stripped it and integrated it into the Splendid Map.

Now, the God's perspective of the Splendid Map depended on the visual range covered by the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye. Rosen was separated from the battlefield by an entire universe, and he wasn't planning on seeking death by going there himself. He only needed to send the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye near the battlefield, and everything the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye saw would be presented on the Splendid Map. As the Splendid Map lit up, a multi-dimensional projection of the God's perspective, as seen by the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye, immediately appeared.

The Reincarnation Will's shell, like the Reincarnation Lifeforms of the two major factions, was a humanoid lifeform. Of course, this didn't mean these Reincarnation Lifeforms were all humans; their true forms varied wildly, but their combat forms were always humanoid. Regardless of what the original forms of the various lifeforms in the Great Reincarnation Realm were, as long as they were intelligent life, they would eventually tend towards a humanoid shape.

This was clearly not the result of natural evolution but an inevitable outcome formed by the power of Karma Reincarnation. This also served as another proof that the Great Reincarnation Realm had a master, though it was unknown why this master had never appeared.

Initially, the two major factions were quite cautious. The inheritance of the Indestructible Will extraordinary system was even more cautiously guarded and dared not be widely disseminated. This was because if the Great Reincarnation Realm had a master, the actions of the two major factions would be suicidal. However, as time passed and more and more Reincarnation Lifeforms mastered indestructible memories, the two major factions grew bolder. They kept escalating, yet the master never appeared, which led to the two major factions becoming audacious enough to wage war against the Reincarnation Will.

There was even an unofficial saying within the two major factions that the current Reincarnation Will should not have been born. The seven Epoch Sovereigns might have secretly contributed to the birth of the Reincarnation Will. This is because the Epoch Sovereigns had already reached the pinnacle of the Great Reincarnation Realm. Over countless eons, they did whatever they wished, and the Great Reincarnation Realm increasingly felt like a cage to them. Their greatest desire was to advance further.

To advance further, resources were indispensable, and the Reincarnation Will was the only potential resource for transcendence. So, there must be a reason for such rumors, and it is highly probable that this claim is true. However, the seven Epoch Sovereigns underestimated the Reincarnation Will and lost control, so much so that they couldn't overcome the Reincarnation Will for hundreds of Epoch Cycles. If not for the Reincarnation Will being entangled in karma and undergoing a "cicada-shedding" escape, they would have had almost no chance of defeating it.

Facing the maddened Reincarnation Will, even an Epoch Sovereign could not hold back. Therefore, this was Rosen's only chance to observe the battle from the sidelines, to study the Epoch Sovereigns, and understand them. As for the other members of the two major factions, there wasn't much to see or observe. In a war of this magnitude, even a Reincarnation Dao Lord wasn't qualified to remain aloof.

All Reincarnation Realm Lords and Reincarnation Dao Lords uniformly employed the three Reincarnation Sacred Arts: spacetime, life-and-death, and karma. Of course, each of them also commanded stronger Reincarnation Sacred Arts, but only these three were universally mastered, and only the power of these three could be better superimposed and fused. Yet, in this war, they were still not the main attackers but rather support.

The spacetime reincarnation they wielded controlled the Reincarnation Will. The karma reincarnation they used counteracted the Reincarnation Will's karma reincarnation. Finally, life-and-death reincarnation assisted the seven Epoch Sovereigns in controlling cosmic death qi.

The seven Epoch Sovereigns each commanded the origin of an extraordinary system. Only they were qualified to barely contend with the Reincarnation Will by leveraging cosmic death qi. However, even though the Reincarnation Will's shell now appeared like a beast that had lost its intelligence, the seven of them, acting together, were still at a disadvantage.

"Dark Sun Sovereign, Nightfall Sovereign, Technology Sovereign, Reproduction Sovereign, Death Sovereign, Civilization Sovereign, Immortal Sovereign..." Rosen targeted each of the seven Epoch Sovereigns, observing their distinct performances.

The most ancient Epoch Sovereign was the Immortal Sovereign. There must have been Epoch Sovereigns before that, but in fact, even more ancient Epoch Sovereigns were unheard of, and the legendary Indestructible Sovereign was even born later than the Immortal Sovereign. Before the Immortal Sovereign's birth, even Reincarnation Lifeforms could barely live beyond a hundred million years. Legend has it that only when the Immortal Sovereign integrated the immortality system into the Great Reincarnation Realm did the lifespan of Reincarnation Lifeforms increase to over three hundred billion years.

Logically, among the seven Epoch Sovereigns, the Immortal Sovereign should be the most powerful, perhaps not even much weaker than the Indestructible Sovereign. However, in reality, the Immortal Sovereign was only stronger than the Technology Sovereign and the Civilization Sovereign among the seven. The Reproduction Sovereign controlled cosmic vitality, and the Death Sovereign controlled cosmic death qi. At this very moment, the Death Sovereign was the main attacker against the Reincarnation Will, displaying undisputedly the strongest power.

However, the Dark Sun Sovereign and Nightfall Sovereign were the true strongest leaders of the two major factions. The more Rosen observed, the more he felt that these two Epoch Sovereigns were somewhat strange. While it was true that the Death Sovereign, controlling cosmic death qi, was suitable for main attacks, these two did not take on the primary defense. Instead, they assigned the defensive task to other Epoch Sovereigns, and they themselves primarily provided support, essentially slacking off throughout the entire battle and not contributing much combat power.

"Are they preserving strength, or is this all the strength they have left?" Rosen fell into deep thought. If they were preserving strength, that would be terrifying. How could they dare to preserve strength when facing the Reincarnation Will? If this was all the strength they had left, it seemed more reasonable.

This is because it's fundamentally impossible to quickly kill the Reincarnation Will in this war. It's not just the Reincarnation Lifeforms of the two major factions who master the Indestructible Will extraordinary system; the Reincarnation Will also masters the Indestructible Will extraordinary system. Thus, killing the constantly regenerating Reincarnation Will is no easy feat. Since they couldn't quickly kill it and could only slowly wear it down with cosmic death qi, their battle plan from the beginning was to re-seal the Reincarnation Will.

The vast majority of the Dark Sun Sovereign and Nightfall Sovereign's power was likely being used to seal the Reincarnation Will. Rosen began to adjust the Dark Sun Heavenly Eye's scouting range, starting to probe the entire super universe, especially the Cosmic Source Sea. How could the Reincarnation Will fall into his hands if it was sealed? Therefore, he had to break the seal to force them into a desperate fight.

The more severely wounded the Reincarnation Will, the better, and it would be best if the seven Epoch Sovereigns were eliminated one by one. A seal capable of trapping the Reincarnation Will simply couldn't be hidden. Rosen quickly discovered the location of the seal. The original seal was in the Cosmic Source Sea, but the Reincarnation Will, upon awakening and breaking free, had already destroyed that seal. The new seal was located at the core of the Cosmic Source Sea, inside the Heart of the Universe.

The Heart of the Universe was certainly stronger than the Cosmic Source Sea, and only the Heart of the Universe could trap a Cosmic Will. As for why the seal was initially placed in the Cosmic Source Sea and not inside the Heart of the Universe, Rosen quickly understood after a moment's thought. If the Cosmic Source Sea was likened to lukewarm water, the Heart of the Universe was boiling water. Although the Reincarnation Will's shell was in a deep slumber, it didn't mean it wouldn't wake up; a sufficiently powerful threat could very likely awaken the Reincarnation Will.

If the seal had been placed in the Heart of the Universe from the beginning, the Reincarnation Will might have been stimulated and awakened prematurely. Moreover, transforming the Heart of Reincarnation into a seal was not something that could be done quickly. So, the two major factions chose the "boiling frog" approach. The Cosmic Source Sea couldn't contain the awakened Reincarnation Will, but it wouldn't make the Reincarnation Will feel threatened and awaken from stimulation. This allowed them to slowly "boil the frog," gradually weakening the Reincarnation Will with the constant erosion of cosmic death qi. Over long eons, they could also continuously modify and strengthen the sealing effect of the Heart of the Universe.

After 160 billion years of "boiling the frog," the power displayed by this Reincarnation Will shell was far from its peak. This is why only five Epoch Sovereigns exerting their full power were merely at a disadvantage, and even had spare capacity to work on the seal. Under the delaying tactics of the Death Sovereign and others, a large number of mysterious mummified corpses finally integrated countless Hearts of the Universe into the cosmic barrier.

The Death Sovereign and his group immediately abandoned their encirclement of the Reincarnation Will, allowing the Reincarnation Will to charge towards the cosmic barrier. However, no matter how much the Reincarnation Will tried to destroy it, it couldn't break through the cosmic barrier. At the same time, the Heart of the Universe detached from the Cosmic Source Sea and began rapidly traversing the void, approaching the Reincarnation Will.

Rosen immediately became restless; if the Reincarnation Will was sealed, his entry would have been for nothing. Therefore, he had to destroy the Heart of the Universe. He quickly put away the Splendid Map and used spacetime jumps to intercept the super Heart of the Universe. It was a critical moment for sealing the Reincarnation Will; stopping now would mean missing the only opportunity. If they couldn't quickly seal the Reincarnation Will, the Reincarnation Will would gradually recover its strength over time.

His power was currently weakened by the erosion of cosmic death qi. However, the Reincarnation Will, which controlled Life-and-Death Reincarnation, had been continuously converting the cosmic death qi within its body into cosmic vitality since its escape. Therefore, the longer the delay, the faster it would recover.

Under these circumstances, how could the Epoch Sovereigns allow Rosen to block their path? Their reluctance to directly contact Rosen didn't mean they feared him or couldn't touch him. While contact would generate karmic entanglement, if direct karmic entanglement couldn't be resolved, the Epoch Sovereigns might as well commit suicide to avoid becoming a laughingstock.

"I'll do it!" the Nightfall Sovereign said, sounding helpless. The Dark Sun Sovereign nodded, maneuvering the Heart of the Universe—which had transformed into a Reincarnation Dark Sun—to continue its path. Rosen still intended to intercept, but the Nightfall Sovereign had already blocked him. Although it wasn't the Nightfall Sovereign's true form, it was at least a clone of Reincarnation level, carrying most of the true form's power. However, it didn't seem much stronger than the true form currently besieging the Reincarnation Will.

Evidently, the Nightfall Sovereign had expended considerable energy in the Heart of the Universe. Rosen's Root Heavenly Eye traced its origin, confirming that the Nightfall Sovereign before him had, at most, the strength of a Reincarnation Dao Lord. The difference in power between them wasn't vast, but in a direct contest of strength, Rosen certainly wouldn't be his opponent. Rosen's only hope of winning was to transform the indirect karma generated by their contact into direct karma. The Nightfall Sovereign didn't fear indirect karma, but when faced with direct karma, he would surely flee faster than a rabbit. Rosen refused to believe the Nightfall Sovereign would sacrifice himself for others.

As Rosen's domain expanded, the destiny network silently diffused and spread throughout the universe. However, it didn't envelop the Nightfall Sovereign, who vanished from reality and appeared directly within Rosen's memories. Rosen wasn't surprised; in fact, he was pleasantly surprised. If the one intercepting him had been the Dark Sun Sovereign, who excelled in combat on the physical plane, Rosen would have had a much harder time dealing with him. While the destiny network was powerful, it was still insufficient to threaten an Epoch Sovereign in reality.

But the memory level was different. Rosen's memories were now divided into several parts. The most crucial memories were not even stored in the indestructible will but were backed up inside the Destiny Computer. The Nightfall Sovereign wanted to quickly deal with Rosen, so he chose to directly attack Rosen's core indestructible memories. The target of the Nightfall Parasitic Flower's parasitic ability thus landed within the Source Essence Host. The Nightfall Sovereign, having entered the memory plane, also followed the Nightfall Parasitic Flower into the Source Essence Host.

Rosen immediately consumed all the cosmic vitality and cosmic death qi stored in the Destiny Computer. Then, relying on the memories stored within the Source Essence Host, he constructed a destiny universe with memories at its core, maximizing the power of Karma Reincarnation through this destiny universe. The destiny network itself was constructed by absorbing karma, so it naturally possessed the ability to synchronously transfer karma. Rosen couldn't completely strip and transfer all the karma originating from the Reincarnation Will that was entangled with him, but stripping off a small amount and transferring it to the Nightfall Sovereign via the destiny network was not a problem. Wasn't this precisely how the Reincarnation Will integrated the remaining karma into that chip?

It was simply that the karmic entanglement was too deep and too strong for the Destiny Computer to transfer it without external assistance. If he hadn't been entangled with the karma of countless cosmic remnants, the Reincarnation Will wouldn't have been able to transfer its own karma at all. The Nightfall Sovereign was still wondering why a real universe had suddenly appeared in Rosen's memory plane. Then, he realized he could hardly escape. This was actually a universe with powerful destiny energy, and the destiny of the entire universe was gradually binding with him. If he stayed longer, his destiny might even be completely controlled by Rosen.

Rosen could not possibly control this level of destiny power. Could it be the Reincarnation Will that had undergone its "cicada-shedding escape"? Ordinary members didn't know, but the Nightfall Sovereign had studied the dormant Reincarnation Will for 160 billion years. How could he not have discovered that the Reincarnation Will's core indestructible memories had long since vanished? What remained in its body was merely a false self formed by false memories.

The Nightfall Sovereign instantly understood Rosen's scheme: he had obtained something from the Reincarnation Will and grown ambitious. However, the Reincarnation Will was already theirs to claim. How could they let Rosen, a mere scapegoat, profit from it? He was just a sacrificial tool, yet he dared to covet their spoils of victory! The Nightfall Sovereign looked at Rosen as if he were already dead. Although he couldn't kill this scapegoat, living was always more painful than death. He would make Rosen understand that being their scapegoat was the only option; wishful thinking would only make his life worse than death.
