Lord: Sequence Master

Under three thousand times time acceleration in the Root Universe, Rosen split his consciousness into thirty million parts with a single thought. Each part of his consciousness separately reviewed the memories of the two Reincarnation Lifeforms. Their memories were too vast; without this method, he wouldn't be able to finish even the crucial parts in hundreds of millions of years.

As he had judged, the Indestructible Will system threatened the Reincarnation Will. Therefore, after the Reincarnation Will was born, it began to shape destiny reincarnation, aiming to completely control the destinies of all life in the Great Reincarnation Realm. This completely blocked any path for the two major factions to survive, so they united and openly defied the Reincarnation Will.

From that moment on, a war began that lasted for 561 reincarnation cycles, each cycle being three hundred billion years long. In the first 560 cycles, the defeated party was always the two major factions. Of course, the Reincarnation Will also suffered, consistently failing to establish destiny reincarnation and control the destinies of Reincarnation Lifeforms.

After each reincarnation cycle of the Great Reincarnation Realm, the power of karma reincarnation would cause all Reincarnation Lifeforms to be reborn. No matter how many times they died in the previous cycle, they would be fully revived and start anew in the new cycle. Such a war offered little hope of a decisive victory.

However, in this current cycle, the war's situation took a crucial turn due to certain factors. The exact factors were known only to a few core individuals within the two major factions. After the Great Reincarnation Realm restarted its spacetime reincarnation in the current timeline, the Reincarnation Will surprisingly fell into a deep slumber from the very beginning.

The two major factions seized this opportunity and jointly dragged the Reincarnation Will into the deepest part of the memory world. However, unless the Reincarnation Will was completely resolved, who knew if it would continue to sleep in the next cycle? If the Reincarnation Will awakened in the next cycle, wouldn't the endless reincarnation war just start all over again?

Many Reincarnation Lifeforms had grown weary after hundreds of reincarnation wars. Some even chose to disperse their indestructible memories, choosing to forget everything after reincarnation, just like ordinary Reincarnation Lifeforms. Therefore, when the Cosmic Will of this cycle fell dormant, the remaining Reincarnation Lifeforms of the two factions went mad. They exerted all their effort, devising every possible method, and finally formulated a plan to eliminate the Reincarnation Will.

The Reincarnation Will's power lay in its ability to mobilize the entire Reincarnation Universe's strength. So, the first step was to sever the Reincarnation Will's connection with the Great Reincarnation Realm. This would only be possible if the Reincarnation Will was in a weakened state. In this situation, the two major factions decided to destroy all universes. Then, using the cosmic death qi generated by the destruction of countless universes, they would maximally injure the sleeping Reincarnation Will.

However, destroying universes was easy in concept. Destroying a few universes was not difficult, but destroying all of them was too challenging. The resulting karmic backlash was something no one wanted to bear. So, the two major factions ultimately decided to find a scapegoat.

The Primeval Universe was born in this manner; it was not naturally occurring but artificially created. The two major factions did not directly control the Primeval Universe but chose to influence it covertly. Because the karma of destroying all universes was too strong, even indirect connections would be troublesome if not directly linked. Therefore, they merely sent the extraordinary systems of the Dark Sun and Nightfall, along with the Indestructible Will, into the Primeval Universe.

In not many years after that, the Primeval Universe gave birth to Primeval Lifeforms and a Cosmic Will. Everything unfolded exactly as planned by the two major factions. The Primeval Lifeforms of the Primeval Universe, in order to become Reincarnation Lifeforms, eventually used external power to kill the Cosmic Will and ascend to Reincarnation Lifeforms. This group of Reincarnation Lifeforms would be the scapegoats to deliver the final blow to all cosmic remnants.

However, just when everything was going smoothly, the biggest unexpected event suddenly occurred. The scapegoats from the Primeval Universe, who were supposed to enter the Great Reincarnation Realm, disappeared along with the Primeval Universe itself. The two major factions couldn't find the Primeval Universe, and their first thought was to create new scapegoats.

However, at that moment, they discovered that they could no longer create new scapegoats. Because when they created the Primeval Universe, to ensure that the Reincarnation Lifeforms emerging from it would definitely take the path of destroying cosmic remnants and inheriting karma, the materials used to create the Primeval Universe came from the cosmic barriers and Hearts of the Universe of all universes in the Great Reincarnation Realm.

Due to the nature of its materials, the Primeval Universe was inherently karmically entangled with all cosmic remnants. Reincarnation Lifeforms born from the Primeval Universe, because of this karma, would inevitably take the path of destroying all universes. Reacquiring materials to create a second Primeval Universe was no longer an option at that time.

With no other choice, the two major factions could only exert all their efforts to find the Primeval Universe. This search lasted a full 150 billion years, and it was only in recent years that they finally discovered the Primeval Universe reappearing. Then, he began to constantly devour cosmic remnants, following the path of a scapegoat as the two major factions had once planned.

Rosen fell into deep thought; he even suspected that these two Reincarnation Lifeforms had fabricated their own memories. The Reincarnation Lifeforms from the Primeval Universe had not entered the endless deep space but had disappeared along with the Primeval Universe itself. Furthermore, in their knowledge, the Primeval Universe from Blue Star's mythology did not exist in the cosmos.

They didn't even know that the Void Giants were still barely surviving in the Void Universe. If the memories of these two Reincarnation Lifeforms hadn't been tampered with, then there must be a third faction in the Great Reincarnation Realm besides the two major factions. Rosen continued to investigate their memories and, indeed, the two major factions also realized the existence of other factions. They even suspected that the third faction came from within their own ranks. Because no one other than their own people could have hidden the Primeval Universe right under their noses. This suspicion caused the two major factions to be riddled with mutual distrust and disunity.

"This isn't much of a gain..." Rosen frowned. He had thought he could fully uncover all the schemes of the two major factions, but these peripheral Reincarnation Lifeforms didn't know much. No wonder no one came to rescue them when he captured them alive. It seemed that the truly core secrets were known only to a very small number of core high-ranking individuals.

However, this didn't mean that the memories of these two Reincarnation Lifeforms were without value. Although they weren't the earliest Reincarnation Lifeforms to join the two major factions, they had survived over two hundred Epoch Cycles after mastering indestructible memories. Each Epoch Cycle was three hundred billion years long. Aside from the core secrets of the two major factions, they had grasped almost everything else in the Great Reincarnation Realm.

During endless long years, it was easy to go mad without something to do. Therefore, Reincarnation Lifeforms enjoyed traveling. They even exchanged the universes they controlled countless times in different Epoch Cycles, because their original universes could no longer provide novelty. So, exchanging universes became a good way to gain new experiences. Over two hundred Epoch Cycles, they had encountered countless extraordinary systems and Reincarnation Lifeforms. They even had many Reincarnation Lifeforms as acquaintances. While they were at the bottom rung within the two major factions, outside of them, they were considered top-tier. So, if he encountered those unfriendly Reincarnation Lifeforms in the memory world again, he could completely rely on them for friendly negotiations.

As he reaped more and more cosmic vitality from cosmic remnants, how to utilize this cosmic vitality became crucial. Creating universes to cultivate Reincarnation Lifeforms was difficult because there were very few worthy candidates. The difference in aptitude was too great. Among the various races of life Rosen brought out from the Primeval Universe, only the Dimensional Sacred Gods and Ancient Gods were qualified to become Reincarnation Lifeforms, but their past grievances made it impossible for him to give them a chance to rise.

As for Fara, Li Shiqing, and Alicia, they were purely pushed into Reincarnation Lifeforms by hard-piling several times the normal resources. Their deep bond with him over countless years meant he certainly didn't mind expending multiple resources to cultivate them. However, for others with insufficient aptitude, he couldn't afford to spend multiple resources cultivating them.

Relatively speaking, he actually had better options. For example, Candlelight, who was already a Reincarnation Lifeform, but whose cosmic vitality was drained in this cosmic epoch, leading to complete demise. According to his research, making Candlelight fully revive wasn't very difficult. He only needed to master karma reincarnation, sever Candlelight's karmic ties with the memory world, then briefly revive Candlelight through spacetime reincarnation, and finally give Candlelight a universe to bind Candlelight to that universe's cosmic vitality. This would allow Candlelight to fully revive. This would save several times more resources than re-cultivating a Reincarnation Lifeform with insufficient aptitude.

Rosen was very clear that he alone would not have a chance to contend with the two major factions and the hidden third faction. Therefore, reviving friendly Reincarnation Lifeforms like Candlelight and forming his own force was of utmost urgency. Of course, even if he revived Candlelight, he wouldn't test Candlelight's character. Although Candlelight was willing to communicate with him amicably and seemed very friendly on the surface, this didn't mean Candlelight would be willing to join his forces and obey his commands. If the high-ranking members of the two major factions tried to buy off Candlelight, who could guarantee that Candlelight wouldn't be tempted or betray him?

After all, compared to his uncertain future, the two major factions held immense appeal for all Reincarnation Lifeforms. The only problem was the high threshold; ordinary Reincarnation Lifeforms were not qualified to join the two major factions. If they were willing to lower the threshold, Rosen had no doubt that a group of Reincarnation Lifeforms he revived would turn against him. Therefore, even if he were to revive them, he had to prepare means to restrain them beforehand.

Such means should not control them like slaves; Reincarnation Lifeforms had their pride and would not be easily manipulated. So, the restraining methods had to preserve their dignity, allow for a certain degree of autonomy, and even offer them a chance for complete freedom. He only needed to ensure sufficient leadership and their obedience for a minimum of two Epoch Cycles.

However, even if the restraining methods were lowered to these requirements, making them effective for a large number of Reincarnation Lifeforms was still not an easy task.

The simplest way, in fact, would be to parasitize the Indestructible Source Seed into the indestructible memories of the Reincarnation Lifeforms. However, this would be highly offensive. No Reincarnation Lifeform would willingly have their memories constantly controlled, spied upon, or arbitrarily altered. Even if they agreed on the surface, they would surely be plotting betrayal at every moment. Therefore, this method of control was not feasible.

Rosen pondered deeply and decided to manipulate at the cosmic level. As long as a Reincarnation Lifeform didn't abide by the agreement or obey commands, he would directly strip them of the universe allocated to them. Furthermore, he would plant an Indestructible Source Seed within their bodies, carrying the Life-and-Death Reincarnation and Karma Reincarnation Primeval Sacred Arts. As long as the Indestructible Source Seed didn't touch their memories, it wouldn't cross their bottom line. If they betrayed him, he would reclaim their universe and simultaneously extinguish the cosmic vitality within their bodies.

Rosen made up his mind and began to refine his control methods based on this idea. He not only researched it himself but also assigned the task to the Yin Realm Lord and Yang Realm Lord.

Reincarnation Realm Lord is a power classification unique to the two major factions. Only by becoming a Reincarnation Realm Lord can one qualify to join the two major factions. The key to becoming a Reincarnation Realm Lord is the ability to directly perceive and control cosmic vitality, completely mastering a universe's cosmic vitality. Although the hierarchy is still that of a Reincarnation Lifeform, they have too many advantages over ordinary Reincarnation Lifeforms.

Firstly, even if their indestructible memories were destroyed, they could still be resurrected by their fully controlled universe. This is because, for a Reincarnation Realm Lord, a fully controlled universe is their own clone. Secondly, fighting within the universe allows them to maximize their combat power and suppress invading Reincarnation Lifeforms.

The Yin Realm Lord and Yang Realm Lord once controlled the Yin Universe and Yang Universe. These two universes were very special, a dualistic unity. They, too, became one of the most harmonious Reincarnation Lifeform combinations, complementing each other perfectly. Although individually they were the weakest in the two major factions, their combined strength actually placed them not at the bottom, potentially even in the middle tier at their peak. Now, their combined efforts have reduced them to gatekeepers, entirely due to the loss of their Yin and Yang Universes.

Unlike the Taiyin Sacred God, whose immense power was self-contained, the Yin Realm Lord and Yang Realm Lord followed a path of unified territorial rule, where their strength depended on the collective will of their subjects. Therefore, after losing control of their universes and their ruling civilizations and dependents, their strength plummeted to rock bottom.

After entrusting them with the task of deducing control methods, Rosen diverted his attention to continue examining their memories. Although they weren't familiar with the core of the two major factions, they were at least very familiar with that super universe. This was because their Yin and Yang Universes had actually become part of that super universe.

Having merged countless units of cosmic vitality and gathered infinite cosmic death qi, the members of the two major factions controlled this cosmic vitality and cosmic death qi through their respective integrated universes. They then used this to seal the Reincarnation Will, slowly wearing it down. Therefore, the main forces of the two major factions were actually tied up in the super universe, making it difficult for them to split. The power they could deploy was very limited; otherwise, they wouldn't have once given up searching for the missing Primeval Universe. Because there simply weren't enough hands, if the Primeval Universe had never appeared, and he hadn't taken the initiative to shoulder the karma, the two major factions might have ultimately given up on resolving the Reincarnation Will in a single Epoch Cycle, opting instead to wear it down over multiple Epoch Cycles.

Rosen wanted to contend with the two major factions, and the super universe and the memory world were the biggest obstacles he had to face. After understanding the general situation of the super universe, he began to finally understand the members of the two major factions.

Reincarnation Realm Lords were the weakest Reincarnation Lifeforms in the two major factions. Above Reincarnation Realm Lords were Reincarnation Dao Lords, and then the core high-ranking Epoch Sovereigns. If a Reincarnation Realm Lord completely controlled a universe's cosmic vitality, then a Reincarnation Dao Lord had transcended dependence on a universe. They had the ability to create universes through their own power. Strictly speaking, he was now equivalent to a Reincarnation Dao Lord of the two major factions. However, his Reincarnation Dao Lord status was merely potential, unable to fully unleash its entire strength.

Finally, the Epoch Sovereigns. Reincarnation Lifeforms at this level had a huge gap compared to Reincarnation Dao Lords. First, to become an Epoch Sovereign, one must become the strongest existence in an Epoch Cycle. Second, they must be the founder of an extraordinary system. Finally, the extraordinary system they created must be recognized by enough Reincarnation Lifeforms. Only then would they be qualified to become an Epoch Sovereign.

Logically, the most powerful Epoch Sovereign would undoubtedly be the creator of the Indestructible Will extraordinary system. However, in the two major factions, there was no Epoch Sovereign of the Indestructible Will system. In fact, on the surface, no one even knew which Reincarnation Lifeform created the Indestructible Will extraordinary system. The strength of an Epoch Sovereign depended on how many Reincarnation Lifeforms mastered the extraordinary system they created. So, logically, the Epoch Sovereign corresponding to the Indestructible Will system was undoubtedly the strongest Epoch Sovereign. Many Reincarnation Lifeforms in the two major factions even believed that if the Epoch Sovereign of the Indestructible Will system had not disappeared, then theoretically, this individual might not be inferior to the Reincarnation Will at all. It was precisely because this individual went missing that the other Epoch Sovereigns gained control of the two major factions.

Rosen carefully examined the information on each Epoch Sovereign. These Epoch Sovereigns were like towering mountains before him. There weren't many of them. The Dark Sun faction had only three, and the Nightfall faction had only four. Only seven Epoch Sovereigns in hundreds of Epoch Cycles. This clearly showed how difficult it was to become an Epoch Sovereign, and how difficult it was to get other Reincarnation Lifeforms to widely accept and master an extraordinary system created by someone else.
