Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 74: A Portrait of Life (Bonus Chapter)
Chapter 74

Rosen traversed the edge of the Void Valley, constantly searching for prey while referring to the hunting map.

However, the more he searched, the more he felt something was wrong.

There were very few ashen life forms found along the way, and the slimes that used to be everywhere were also becoming scarce.

Rosen realized something was wrong and turned to leave without hesitation.

However, before he could completely leave the Void Valley, a huge spiritual realm vortex suddenly opened deep within the Void Valley, pulling all the extraordinary beings who were staying there into the inner world.

Rosen felt a blur before his eyes, and he found himself on top of an endless mountain of solid waste.

At the same time, some information appeared out of nowhere, letting him know what had happened.

The colossal spiritual realm of the Void Valley has long been exhausted by the Blazing Shadow Kingdom.

However, normally, such a giant spiritual realm would follow a path of sustainable development.

Unless there is no other choice, the Duchy of Blazing Shadows will not resort to such desperate measures.

It turns out that although the Gray Ratman Ancestor died, he was a demigod. As long as his divinity remained, he could live forever in the Spirit Realm. Part of the control of this giant Spirit Realm was in the hands of the Gray Ratman Ancestor, and the Blazing Shadow Kingdom tried every means to get it but could not.

However, not long ago, the progenitor of the Gray Ratmen made contact with Grand Duke Blazing Shadow in the Spirit Realm.

The two sides made a bet regarding the Void Valley. The progenitor of the Gray Ratmen would infuse his spirituality into this giant spiritual realm, allowing the Gray Ratmen to be reborn within it. In contrast, the Blazing Shadow Kingdom would not allow the dispatch of any powerhouses of Sequence 7 or higher.

Ultimately, the side that survived in the entire Spirit Realm won the bet, but the wager was not mentioned in the information.

But losing means certain death, so the only way to survive is to kill all the Gray Ratmen by any means necessary.

"So this is just bad luck, being used as a pawn by those above..."

Rosen pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

It's probably not that simple; the Gray Rat Man progenitor was merely clinging to life in the spirit world.

This time, he suddenly appeared and even managed to persuade Grand Duke Chiying to make a bet. I don't know what he put up as a wager. Why did he have to do this when he came to the Void Valley?
Rosen's intuition told him that the progenitor of the gray ratmen might be after him.

He killed the divine avatar of the Gray Ratman Ancestor during the Spiral Sea Battle, and even stole the divinity of the Gray Ratman Ancestor with the help of the God Computer. It is no surprise that the Gray Ratman Ancestor came for his God Computer.

Rosen jumped into a garbage dump and opened the door to the mysterious study without hesitation.

Who cares? The progenitor of the Gray Ratmen is a half-dead Sequence 3 demigod, and the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow is a Sequence 4 whose ancestors were demigods. No matter which one he runs into now, it's like throwing an egg against a rock.

So no matter how the battle in the spiritual realm turns out, he's prepared to hide in the mysterious study and watch the show.

He also took the opportunity to investigate whether the Mysterious Study had changed after he became Sequence 8.
After most of the day had passed, Rosen was somewhat disappointed. Apart from the upgrade of the main god's computer, there were no new changes in the mysterious study.

However, he discovered something else: he might have another way to escape the current spiritual realm.

Rosen stood atop the tower of the Alchemy Castle, gazing into the darkness beyond the divine realm, undecided.

He can directly enter the Divine Realm from the Spirit Realm, and the Divine Realm is located in the Spirit World. The Spirit World is undoubtedly of a higher standard than the Spirit Realm. Therefore, after entering the Spirit World through the Divine Realm, he only needs to find a passage to return to reality from the Spirit World to escape the Void Wasteland.

However, his understanding of the spirit world is very limited, and leaving the divine realm rashly could be even more dangerous.

Rosen ultimately decided to play it safe, since he had no family and was a wanderer anyway.

Moreover, if he gets tired of painting in the mysterious study, he can go on vacation to Marthadora or travel to Youkexin City. Regardless of whether the Gray Rat Man Ancestor is after him, the final result will only be a waste of effort.

Rosen realized he hadn't been to Marthadora in a while, so he immediately used the main computer to enter Rose Castle.

It was still daytime when he casually searched for the card collection book to activate the spell card communication.

Nurdin and Hubert contacted Rosen immediately after receiving the communication.

Half an hour later, Rosen waited for the anxious Nurdin and Hubert in the garden of Rose Castle.

“I don’t want to hear bad news.” Rosen’s smile sent a chill down Nurdin’s spine.

"This is the specific card I found..."

Nurdin took two cards from the card book and placed them on the stone table in the garden.

Rosen took a look and saw that they were an A-grade card, the Fountain of Wine, and an S-grade card, the Tree of Harvest.

The former can produce wine, while the latter, once planted, can grow random types and quantities of fruit.

Even if such a thing were transformed into an extraordinary artifact, it would be meaningless to him.

Rosen looked at Hubert with disappointment, only to see Hubert confidently take out a B-grade card, Life Compendium.

This is exactly what Rosen emphasized. It's one of the specific cards he needs most right now.

"These are a reward for you; they'll save your life if you're seriously injured."

Rosen casually took out two bottles of life-restoring potions and placed them on the table.

"As for you continuing your efforts."

After putting some pressure on Nurdin, Rosen entered Rose Castle with the Life Guide Card.

A continuous stream of spiritual energy was injected into the card in the hand by the main god's computer, and it took a full 50,000 units of spiritual energy for the card to become an extraordinary artifact.

[Life's Portrait: Extraordinary Things]

[Level: Sequence 7]

[Attributes: This book includes information on everyone you've met since birth, along with detailed anecdotes and conversations between you and them.]

Rosen held the card in his hand, and with a bang, smoke swirled around the card, turning it into a book.

Open the encyclopedia of life, and you'll find a directory of hundreds of thousands of names.

Obviously, the scope of acquaintances is quite broad. Almost speaking to someone counts as acquaintance. Entering the other person's dream, having contact with the other person in the virtual spiritual realm, as long as this person is human, a directory will be automatically generated in the life encyclopedia.

However, after looking through the directory, Rosen found that many of the names were not normal people's names.

For example, the Hunter's Guild waiter, although I've met him, I don't know his name, so his name isn't on the directory.

Rosen started turning the pages according to the page numbers, and after turning over hundreds of thousands of pages, he finally arrived at the page corresponding to the Hunter Guild waiter.

The text contains all the conversations he had when ordering the food, but it doesn't mention any interesting anecdotes about the waiter.

Rosen continued searching through the table of contents, turning to the corresponding page, where this time he found anecdotes and interesting stories about Nurdin.

It seems that to capture a person's interesting stories in a life portrait, you at least need to know that person's name.

Rosen continued searching for his acquaintances Clement and Ms. Fam, and found some anecdotes about Clement, but not about Ms. Fam. Clearly, the limit of his life encyclopedia was about capturing anecdotes from Sequence 8.

This is already incredibly impressive; Rosen doubts that the "Life Compendium" can collect information from the spirit world.

There is a theory about the spirit world that the thoughts of all intelligent beings, the spirituality of all intelligent beings, and the information of all intelligent beings existing in the world together constitute the spirit world. Therefore, prophecy can be made through the spirit world, and one can be omniscient and omnipotent.

Of course, this is only in theory; in reality, it is probably impossible to do.

Even Rosen suspected that this claim about the spirit world might be information deliberately spread by the World Government. The spirit world might not have the power of prophecy and omniscience, but since countless people believe this information, perhaps these powers have actually been born in the spirit world.

Rosen flipped to the very first page of his life story, where the first two names were Rosen's mother and father.
