Lord: Sequence Master

"What is this?"

Rosen stared at the time prediction painting in his hand, puzzled.

Even if Daisy Best wanted to avenge her son, as a strong Sequence 1 warrior, would she have to sacrifice her own body to assassinate a small Sequence 5 painter? No matter how you think about it, this kind of thing is unbelievable.

And if you look closely at the woman in the painting, you can't find the slightest trace of murderous intent on her face.

There was just a look of deep affection on her face. If it weren't for the fact that her hands were wrong, he would have really thought that Daisy Best in the painting was in love with him.

Rosen fell into deep thought, and finally logged into the spiritual world deep web to look up relevant information about the psychologist.

Not finding anything unusual, he continued to log into the main god network to search for relevant information.

A few hours later, Rosen bought a book through the main temple.

This is a novel that was destroyed by the World Government. The novelist who wrote this book died a miserable death. Now this book is only circulated among aliens because it reveals a fatal weakness of psychologists.

The inner world of life is too complicated; psychologists mainly study the inner world of life.

In order to explore the mind of life to the greatest extent, psychologists will even project their own spirituality into the minds of others, and then empathize with the entire psychological journey of each life. The top psychologists are also the top spies.

There was once a Sequence 1 psychologist who split his own consciousness into millions of parts and projected them out.

The minds and consciousness of countless alien races have been parasitized and are being controlled and enslaved bit by bit by psychologists.

At that time, many powerful aliens were frightened by the psychologists. No one could accept the fact that their relatives or close friends were suddenly possessed by someone's mind and became puppets, and were stabbed in the back at the critical moment.

In the end, several true gods of the alien race even joined forces to curse the psychologist.

From now on, if psychologists continue to project and parasitize other people's minds unscrupulously, then the psychologist's consciousness may be polluted by others' reverse minds, which may lead to the psychologist developing a mental illness such as split personality.

All split personalities will instinctively be hostile to the original personality.

Because the original body is human, the split personalities are basically extremely hostile to humans.

So for a while, psychologists caused huge problems for the world's governments.

The birth of many evil gods in later generations were related to psychologists.

In the end, there was no choice but for the World Government to erase the relevant information and even use the Golden Sequence Ancient Tree to prohibit psychologists from mastering the skill of projecting their own consciousness into the bodies of others.

From then on, psychologists could not be said to have never recovered, but they were no longer as strong as before.

However, there are some things that cannot be completely eliminated by prohibition.

So Rosen suspected that Daisy Best had a split personality.

Rosen put away the time prediction painting, left the Shentu Hotel and began to tour Shentu City.

The spiritual paintings on each building are at least Sequence 3, and there are even Sequence 1 and Sequence 0 spiritual paintings.

Rosen spent two months admiring the three thousand spiritual paintings.

He continued to head towards the Eternal Gallery, where there were at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual paintings. Although most of them had been eliminated, it was not easy for them to have stayed in Shentu City. There were even some Sequence 1 spiritual paintings hidden among them.

Because not only paintings will be eliminated after being compared to others, but also paintings left on the surface of buildings in Shentu City will be eliminated if the owner of the painting dies.

Rosen lived in the Eternal Gallery for five years, copying different spiritual paintings every day using the drawing technique.

Except for those that he really didn't like, he copied all the hundreds of thousands of spiritual paintings and stored them in the void album. If he were to compete with those divine painters in drawing spiritual paintings again, he was sure that he would not lose out at all.

Rosen reluctantly left the Eternal Gallery and found that the Glittering Tower was no longer flashing.

This meant that the inheritance had already been passed down to someone, so he immediately inquired around the city.

It turned out that Ashier's divinity and inheritance finally fell into the hands of a painter of divine descent. Behind this painter stood a true god, whose background was many times more powerful than Damon's. Therefore, many painters who participated in the competition dared to be angry but not to speak out.

Because of this incident, the top leaders of the Painters Association almost had an internal conflict.

The painters who came to Shentu City to participate in the so-called exchange event this time all came because they believed in the Painters Association. As a result, a descendant of a true God predetermined the reward. The painters who came to Shentu City at all costs for nearly ten years were completely made a fool of.

Because of this incident, the reputation of the Painters Association became precarious.

If you want to restore your reputation, of course, you have to find someone to take the blame.

The person to take the blame was thrown to the already dead Ashier, because the true God had been kind to him when he was alive, so this time he broke the agreement with the Painters Association and insisted on leaving the inheritance to the descendants of the true God.

In order to compensate all the painters who came to Shentu City, the Painters Association opened up another inheritance that the Association possessed.

This time the wait is five years, and after five years all the painters in the city will compete for this inheritance.

This time, there will be no accidents, and the value of the inheritance will definitely not be lower than that of Ashier.

Rosen was thoughtful. He always felt that something was wrong.

The true God does have a high status, but common sense suggests that it is not high enough to make painters always violate their principles.

If they had decided from the beginning to leave the inheritance of Ashiel to that descendant of God, why not just not inform the painters from all over the human world to compete for the inheritance? Why wait until so many painters came to Shentu City before doing something that would damage their reputation?

Actually, if you think about it carefully, this matter was a bit strange from the beginning.

Normally, how could the Godhead and inheritance of Sequence 1 be left to painters below Sequence 3 to fight for?

Painters would always go to those Sequence 3 and Sequence 2 painters. Don't they need Ashiel's legacy? How could they give up such a huge benefit so easily, unless Ashiel's legacy was just a bait from the beginning?

This is to attract a large number of talented painters below Sequence 3 in order to achieve a certain special purpose.

Could this new inheritance that is about to be opened be the real purpose of the Painters Association?

Rosen decided to investigate it carefully. He didn't want to be a pawn manipulated by others.

The Main God's computer began to collect relevant information through the deep web of the spiritual world, and the God Hunter's Magic Eye began to monitor some targets. Finally, after repeated consideration, he also made time prediction drawings and astronomical predictions. He had to know the truth of the matter before he could change from a chess piece to a chess player.

This surveillance lasted for a few years, and Rosen had almost finished copying all the spiritual paintings on the surfaces of the buildings in Shentu City.

Until this day, Magic Eye No. 1, which had been in charge of surveillance for several years, finally brought good news.

Magic Eye No. 1 is a Sequence 5 intelligent life created by Amy. It has no emotions and no combat power, only powerful analytical and computing abilities.

Rosen transmitted all the data spied on by the God Hunter's Magic Eye to Magic Eye No. 1. Magic Eye No. 1 was responsible for processing the information and screening out the valuable pieces. Behind Magic Eye No. 1 were Magic Eyes No. 2 to No. 9, each tasked with analyzing and processing different types of intelligence.

The God Hunter Magic Eye then sent the information analyzed and processed by Magic Eye No. 1 to the main God Computer through data transmission. The desktop of the Main God's computer was projected directly onto Rosen's retina.

He saw the footage immediately. The total length was half an hour, with intermittent sound and video.

"Elio Stark, vice president of the Painters' Association..."

Rosen looked carefully. Among all the people he monitored, Sequence 1 Vice President Elio was the strongest. As for the Sequence 0 leader, even intermittent spying by the Godhunter's Magic Eye would be discovered.

Just half an hour ago, Elio had received an old friend, a Sequence 1, who was his life-and-death companion. The son of this old friend, also a painter, was very interested in the inheritance offered by the Painters Association. The son had approached his old friend to use the back door, wanting to know whether a descendant of the true God had been chosen this time and what the situation with the inheritance was.

At first, Elio hesitated and refused to reveal anything. However, after repeated questioning, he could no longer refuse. Under the witness of the Contract Spirit God, he signed a contract that must never be spread outside and finally gave his old friend some advice.

"Give up on this inheritance immediately. From now on, do not come to Shentu City unless you're a Sequence 1 painter."

"Is the second inheritance even more deceptive than the first one?" Rosen turned off the video and pondered. What disgraceful acts had the top leaders of the Painters Association committed against the painters who came to Shentu City?

It was definitely not a good thing, otherwise, he wouldn't have been advised to leave Shentu City immediately. Rosen took out a painting, his second time-predictive painting. The painting didn't show him and Daisy doing push-ups, but rather him lying on the ground, covered in blood, followed by a series of blurry shadows. This was because the high-sequence beings involved in the foresight were beyond his predictive ability, so he could only draw blurry shadows instead of their true forms.

Rosen finally recalled the result of the celestial prophecy, which had actually warned him to stay. But there was no more prediction. So, should he stay or not?

With the mysterious study as a backup, he could hide at any time in any dangerous situation. Rosen decided to stay and see what the top leaders of the Painters Association were planning. As time went by, more and more painters arrived in Shentu City.

There were over 10,000 people in total. The worst were Sequence 5, and most were Sequence 4. Those below Sequence 5 didn't dare compete for the inheritance. In fact, most Sequence 5 painters had given up. Only the best among them, with a bit of confidence, dared to participate.

One day, while copying a painting on the street, Rosen saw a crow land on the easel. The crow held an envelope in its beak, which disappeared into thin air after Rosen took the letter.

...

President of Shentu city Painters Association

Luca West

Dear Mr. Rosen Howard:

I am writing to inform you that you have been approved to compete for the inheritance of the Sequence 1 painter. Please bring this letter to the building where the Sunset Afterglow spiritual painting is located in Shentu City at sunset to participate in the competition for inheritance.

Vice President: Elio Stark

"At sunset..." Rosen put away the letter and continued copying the spiritual painting on the surface of the building in front of him.

A few hours later, the sun in Shentu City began to set in the west. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the city. All the painters qualified to compete for the inheritance gathered at a pyramid-like building in the west of the city, each holding their envelopes. Painted on the outside of the building was the sunset scene of Shentu City.

The door of the pyramid had been opened by then. Rosen was about to enter when he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. The Godhunter's Magic Eye immediately captured that it was Annika, or Damon's mother, Daisy.

Rosen didn't avoid it, which made Annika, a bit nervous, smile brightly.

"Can we go together?" Annika asked carefully.

"Of course!" Rosen thought for a moment and nodded. Although Annika herself was a threat, there was now a greater threat from the Painters Association. With Annika around, wouldn't it be perfect for her to take the lead when danger struck? The second personality of a Sequence 1 psychologist would be a strong support.

After Rosen and Annika walked into the pyramid together, they found that there was a small world inside. As far as he knew, this pyramid building had never been open to the public before.

If Rosen wasn't mistaken, this should be a semi-finished Kingdom of God. It couldn't reach Sequence 0, but it was much stronger than Paradise Island. In the center of the Kingdom of God, there was a dying ancient sequence tree, thousands of meters tall, easily visible.

The ancient sequence tree hadn't collapsed yet, meaning the master of this Kingdom of God had not completely fallen. However, judging by the weak appearance of the ancient tree, the condition of this Sequence 1 painter wasn't very good.

"Stulain's Resurrection Pyramid..." The thought suddenly flashed through Rosen's mind. He carefully observed the layout of this world, and it resembled Stulain's Resurrection Pyramid.

Rosen suddenly had a guess: the Sequence 1 inheritance was just a cover. The true goal was to summon the most talented group of painters below Sequence 3, then allow the half-dead Sequence 1 painter to be resurrected and possess another body. Among the tens of thousands of painters present, they could always find a suitable candidate for possession.

But there was no need to arrange for Ashier's inheritance. Wouldn't it be enough to just bring people here from the beginning?

Moreover, among the tens of thousands of painters present, some of them had Sequence 2 or Sequence 1 standing behind them. What if these people are chosen after the resurrection and possession of other people's bodies? How will the painter explain it afterwards?

Could it be that it is not as simple as resurrecting by possessing another's body? Thinking of this, Rosen decided to wait and see.

At this moment, the letter in Rosen's pocket became hot.

When he took it out and looked at it, he saw the specific rules of this fight for inheritance, as well as what inheritance was being fought for.

Although the owner of the inheritance was only a Sequence 1 painter, his status was higher than that of the president of the association.

Because this person was the founder of the painter sequence, the heritage he left behind was as precious as that of a Sequence 0 painter.

Only one person could get the inheritance. Among the tens of thousands of painters present, when they killed each other until only the last one was left, the one who survived would get the inheritance. This meant that only one person could leave alive.

"You must be joking..."

"The Painters' Association, are these people crazy..."

"Aren't they afraid of the World Government, the Noble Parliament, or the backers behind us?"

Angry questions were heard everywhere, and some familiar painters had teamed up to try to escape from this divine world using various means.

However, after trying every possible method, none of the tens of thousands of painters succeeded in leaving.

If you can't do it alone, then join forces. Rosen and Annika did not act alone but joined forces with the public to destroy the divine world before their eyes. However, even if tens of thousands of painters joined forces, they still could not shake the entire world.

Finally, someone suggested attacking the ancient sequence tree, but the ancient sequence tree could only be seen but not touched.

Seeing that there was no way out, someone suggested that everyone use the Void Gallery and the Divine Territory to hold on.

As long as they lost contact for more than a certain period of time, the people behind them would definitely find out the problem. By then, the painter would not be able to hand them over, and it would not be difficult for so many high-sequence demigods to rescue them.

"It looks like I won't be able to get out anytime soon."

Rosen sighed.

"I'm a little scared. Can I go to your Void Gallery?"

Annika asked, grabbing Rosen's arm a little nervously.

Rosen did not agree immediately because he thought of the previous time-predicting painting.

The background in the painting was not his studio.

Seeing him hesitate, Annika directly summoned her own Void Gallery, which looked like a fur ball from the outside. The fur ball opened its mouth, and a passage leading directly to the studio appeared. Rosen glanced at it and saw that it was the background of the time-predicting painting.

Annika lowered her head, grabbed Rosen's arm, and dragged him towards her studio.

Rosen was now in a dilemma. If he left at this time, it would definitely lead to a fallout.

But following Annika in, according to the predicted result of the time-predicting painting, although being with Annika was nice, the true identity of this woman was Daisy, a Sequence 1 psychologist, who was ready to take out his heart.

Under Annika's forced pulling, Rosen finally followed Annika into her Void Gallery.

This was a real Void Gallery, and Rosen had a deeper understanding of the power of psychologists.

Daisy's second personality could actually use her new identity to transfer to other gold sequences.

Doesn't this mean that as long as there are enough personalities, psychologists can theoretically work part-time in all extraordinary sequences?

There must be some kind of limit, otherwise, psychologists would be invincible.

After arriving at the studio, Annika gritted her teeth and threw Rosen onto the pink sofa.

"Why?"

Rosen asked, looking into Annika's shy eyes.

"You forgot..."

Annika whispered the story of her and little Rosen's childhood.

As Rosen listened, some of the vague images in his memory became clearer and clearer. He remembered that when Rosen was a child, he had saved Annika. Like Rosen, Annika was also a fallen noble. Because of her good looks, her situation was even more difficult than Rosen's.

Once, Annika was almost kidnapped in the middle of the night, and it was little Rosen who saved her despite being seriously injured.

The two children depended on each other and regarded each other as their only support for survival.

Until one day Annika suddenly disappeared. Little Rosen searched for Annika like crazy but found nothing in the end. Despair and pain made little Rosen instinctively seal up this part of his memory, just like losing his memory due to strong stimulation.

Rosen recovered the memory that little Rosen had forgotten and immediately hugged Annika excitedly.

However, at this moment, Rosen's pupils shrank slightly and he came back to his senses. Just now, the self-portrait clone who had been hiding in the mysterious study suddenly contacted him and told him something, that is, his spirit scattered in the self-portrait clone did not recover the memories about Annika that little Rosen had forgotten.

It was obvious that this memory was false from the beginning.

It's just that due to some means, he had these memories out of thin air and believed them to be true.

Fortunately, due to the shielding of the mysterious study, his spirituality scattered in the self-portrait's clones was not affected.

Next, he wanted to see what Daisy wanted to gain by acting like this.

Seeing how sincere Annika was, it was very likely that Daisy had completely deceived her second personality, otherwise, Annika's feelings for him would not be so real that his seventh sense would not be able to detect the slightest falsehood.

Since Daisy wanted to play, he would play with her.
