Lord: Sequence Master

Rosen and the Will of Reincarnation stood three meters apart, yet separated by an infinite expanse of space and time. The Will of Reincarnation didn't stop Rosen from using Space-Time Reincarnation to create distance. She simply leveraged the half of the Reincarnation Sovereign's authority she had stripped away, summoning an eye from the depths of the void. This eye appeared identical to the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye on the surface.

Ancestral Spirit organs possess uniqueness; Rosen was certain that the one the Will of Reincarnation held was the genuine article. His Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, strictly speaking, was a mutated Ancestral Spirit organ fused with Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. But could an organ like an eye also serve as an immune system? Rosen watched cautiously as the Will of Reincarnation pressed the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye to her brow. He was certain this Reincarnation Heavenly Eye was an immune organ.

The Will of Reincarnation instantly activated "One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones," dividing into three. The Reincarnation Heavenly Eye also split into three. However, the three Reincarnation Heavenly Eyes were noticeably weaker. But weakness had its advantages; a truly peak Reincarnation Heavenly Eye could not be controlled by the Will of Reincarnation's power. Now, divided into three, she could maximize the power of the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye.

The first avatar of the Will of Reincarnation used Space-Time Reincarnation to negate the infinite space-time separation between them. Immediately after, the second avatar used Karma Reincarnation to fix Rosen in place. Finally, Life-Death Reincarnation began to convert the vitality within Rosen's immortal will into death qi. His immortal will, which was barely in a tripartite balance, began to collapse and reshape as vitality dissipated, leading to the weakening of his life origin and the subsequent loss of control over the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. Starting from his eyes, Rosen's Reincarnation Saint Body rapidly began to show signs of pollution and corruption.

Upon seeing this result, the Will of Reincarnation felt no joy. She wanted Rosen's reconstructed Reincarnation Source Body, the Ancestral Spirit organ that had initially adapted to and fused with the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. With the power of that Ancestral Spirit organ, Rosen could easily block her Life-Death Reincarnation. She wanted Rosen to be exhausted, not genuinely contaminated and corrupted. Because she herself was already contaminated and corrupted, how could she allow her backup body to be damaged? The Will of Reincarnation immediately withdrew Life-Death Reincarnation, watching Rosen warily, unsure of her next move. Rosen neither resisted the damage nor counterattacked, merely dodging and increasing the distance. How could she deal with this? She couldn't accept damage to the Reincarnation Source Body. Rosen was clearly betting that she wouldn't harm the Reincarnation Source Body, so any means that could inflict fatal damage to it were off-limits.

The Will of Reincarnation casually plucked off her own head, lifted her skull, and dug out her contaminated and corrupted brain. At the same time, a Destiny Computer materialized beside her, transforming into a biological computer and integrating into her cranial cavity to replace her brain. Rosen was certain that his Destiny Computer was still in the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree. So, there were two Destiny Computers. The very origin of this device was the Will of Reincarnation. Although she hadn't tampered with his Destiny Computer, she had another Destiny Computer that could connect to the Destiny Network.

Rosen attempted to stop her, but both Destiny Computers astonishingly had equal authority over the Destiny Network. The moment they successfully connected, the Will of Reincarnation began to seize ownership of the Destiny Network and the other Destiny Computer. The two Destiny Computers had identical performance; the deciding factor was the capabilities of the user. Rosen's ability in Destiny Programming was clearly far inferior to the Will of Reincarnation, who had prepared for this day for countless years.

Of course, it wouldn't be easy for the Will of Reincarnation to win either. To seize his Destiny Computer, she needed to traverse the Destiny Network, then the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree, and finally the Emperor's Will. Directly confronting the Emperor's Will through the Destiny Network, the Will of Reincarnation gained no advantage whatsoever. Even with her hundred thousand reincarnation epochs of accumulated experience, she was ultimately only a transcendent reincarnation, not an Ancestral Spirit lifeform. Thus, the Will of Reincarnation, lacking a qualitative leap, might be able to suppress the Emperor's Will, but trying to easily annex it through normal means was impossible. After several probes, the Will of Reincarnation transmitted a special audio segment through the Destiny Network.

Mysterious, unknown whispers echoed in the Emperor's Will's "ears." The sound was inescapable; Rosen's Emperor's Will, from the moment it heard it, couldn't help but listen attentively. The Emperor's Will, which had been in a state of harmonious integration, actually began to disintegrate and reshape at this moment. Rosen was about to rescue the Emperor's Will but changed his mind at the crucial moment. Not only did he not rescue the Emperor's Will, but he even commanded the Emperor's Will to abandon all resistance against the mysterious whispers.

However, the Will of Reincarnation showed no joy. She had been checkmated by Rosen's non-resistance once again.

The whispers originated from the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit. The Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit had divided the main body of her self-consciousness into three parts: the portion contaminated and corrupted by the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance was sealed within the inner Reincarnation Great Realm, while the remaining intact portion was split into two. A smaller part became the Will of Reincarnation, and the larger part became countless reincarnation lives.

Before the pollution and corruption of the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance could be resolved, the dispersed spiritual origin, with its scrambled memories, could not reassemble its self-consciousness. This was because as long as the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit's self-consciousness was reassembled, pollution and corruption would immediately cling to it. However, in the future, once the pollution and corruption of the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance were resolved, when the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit needed to reassemble her spiritual origin, reconstruct her memories, and reshape her self-consciousness, she would need a back door to easily control all reincarnation lives. The mysterious whispers were the contingency left by the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit. This mechanism was like a special decoder; once heard, the memories within the reincarnation lives would be unsealed. Those sealed memories, belonging to the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit, would revive within the spiritual essence of all reincarnation lives and reassemble into the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit's memory. Therefore, with Rosen's non-resistance, the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit would soon revive.

This was not the outcome the Will of Reincarnation desired. She wanted to replace the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit and inherit everything from her, not sacrifice herself to become nourishment for the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit's revival. The Will of Reincarnation had initially thought Rosen would resist with all his might, and she would hold back a little. This way, the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit wouldn't revive, and she could severely wound Rosen, making him weaker. Unexpectedly, Rosen flipped the table; if she didn't stop, he would benefit the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit rather than her.

The Will of Reincarnation felt a long-forgotten rage. This feeling of being outmaneuvered by Rosen left her deeply frustrated. But there was no alternative. She couldn't ruin the opportunity she had painstakingly waited for due to a minor fit of anger. Rosen's immortal will and his mutated Reincarnation Heavenly Eye had successfully integrated the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. She would make this seed take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit within her.

Since cunning tactics wouldn't work, only the most direct memory war remained.

The Will of Reincarnation waved her hand, conjuring a throne behind her. After sitting upon it, she closed her eyes, completely defenseless. Rosen instinctively considered a sneak attack, but rationality told him that attacking the Will of Reincarnation by surprise was meaningless. No one knew better than they did how difficult it was to kill an entity that possessed an immortal will. They had high defense, low offense, and maximum survival. Their only weakness lay in their self-consciousness and memories.

Rosen directly summoned his Reincarnation Throne from the Reincarnation Holy Temple, sat opposite the Will of Reincarnation, and closed his eyes. The Destiny Network gradually contracted, eventually becoming the battlefield for the memory war between the two. Rosen was not unfamiliar with memory warfare. The Emperor's Will secretly consuming the Lord's Will was itself a special kind of memory war. However, this time, both sides were prepared, leaving no room for surprise attacks, only head-on, brute force confrontation.

Rosen's own immortal will did not participate because his immortal will had already fused with the power of the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. While his immortal will was powerful, it was also unstable. If it were to lose its tripartite balance during the memory war, he would be doomed, and the Will of Reincarnation would gain nothing. Therefore, the true combatants in the memory war were the Will of Reincarnation and the Emperor's Will.

Using the Destiny Network as a medium and the Destiny Computer as a server, the two wills engaged in a direct, head-on clash within the Destiny Network. There were no fancy tricks, just a mad collision leading to mutual destruction. This clash lasted for five hundred million years. The Will of Reincarnation and the Emperor's Will collapsed almost simultaneously. The immortal will's perfect and flawless trinity, when it collapsed, meant the disintegration of the tripartite immortal will. The life origin and spiritual origin returned to their bodies, and then the immortal memories were torn into fragments and scattered across the Destiny Network. At this point, the memory war entered its second phase: countless memory fragments from both sides formed countless different personalities. And the Destiny Network, based on the memories of these countless different personalities, formed various instance worlds. These worlds, existing at the data level, were indistinguishable from real worlds due to the power of the two transcendent reincarnations. Each instance world was a battlefield for the personalities formed from fragments of Rosen's and the Will of Reincarnation's memories. The victor would consume the loser until only one winner remained.

The essence of the second phase of the memory war was actually as simple as mixing flour. If memories were flour, the complete Will of Reincarnation and Emperor's Will were finished steamed buns. For two steamed buns to annex each other was almost impossible. But if the steamed buns were crushed back into countless flour particles, the fusion of two flour particles would become very simple.

Within the innumerable instance worlds, countless personalities of Rosen and the Will of Reincarnation perished every moment. The victorious personalities would consume the defeated personalities, then detach from the Destiny Network and return to their main bodies to reshape their immortal wills. This second phase of the memory war lasted for eight hundred million years. All the personalities formed by the fragmented immortal memories from both sides had returned to their main bodies.

Rosen's Emperor's Will weakened by ten percent, while the Will of Reincarnation's immortal will increased by less than ten percent. It was evident that the Emperor's Will Rosen lost had been consumed by the Will of Reincarnation.

With no room for compromise, the Will of Reincarnation and the Emperor's Will clashed again via the Destiny Network. The outcome was actually clear from the start: whichever side had the stronger immortal will would produce more powerful personal avatars when shattered. The Will of Reincarnation was stronger than the Emperor's Will, so in the first round of the memory war, the Emperor's Will lost ten percent of its immortal will. There was already a disparity between them, and now with one increasing and the other decreasing, the gap widened further. Thus, the subsequent memory wars would only snowball into greater losses.

The Will of Reincarnation was prepared for Rosen to stop the memory war and shift to a real-world fight, continuing to slowly wear down Rosen like "boiling a frog in warm water." However, she never expected Rosen to be so stubborn as to continue the inevitably losing memory war. The Will of Reincarnation didn't believe Rosen was just giving up or committing suicide; he must have been confident of victory to proceed. Therefore, in the second round of the memory war, the Will of Reincarnation was more vigilant and cautious than in the first. This time, it took fifteen hundred million years for a victor to emerge, and the Emperor's Will was weakened by a full twenty percent.

The gap between them widened even further. If this continued, at most two more rounds of memory war would see the Emperor's Will completely devoured by the Will of Reincarnation. The Will of Reincarnation had confirmed that Rosen hadn't hidden any contingencies within the Destiny Network for the memory war. This meant Rosen's means of turning the tide must be located in reality, prompting the Will of Reincarnation to commit more of her immortal will to reality, remaining vigilant against Rosen. As for the memory war, she relaxed her control. After two rounds of growth, her immortal will could now completely suppress the Emperor's Will anyway. Even if something unexpected happened in the memory war, a war spanning hundreds of millions of years offered too many opportunities for correction.

However, the Will of Reincarnation never expected the third round of the memory war to last only one second from start to finish. This was because, at the very instant the memory war began, Rosen, at the cost of half of his controlled Other Shore's Sacred Radiance, strengthened his Emperor's Will into the Other Shore's Will. Although the Other Shore's Will only existed for a fleeting moment, it overwhelmingly crushed the Will of Reincarnation's immortal will. Rosen not only reclaimed everything the Emperor's Will had lost but even tore off a piece of the Will of Reincarnation's immortal will in return. In a blink of an eye, the Will of Reincarnation was already thirty percent weaker than when she started.

If the Will of Reincarnation had been fully vigilant from the beginning, the Other Shore's Will, which could only exist for a fleeting moment, might not have achieved such a significant gain. But two great victories made the Will of Reincarnation overly suspicious, diverting more of her attention outside the memory war. This gave Rosen the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Of course, the most crucial factor in the victory was the immense power of the Other Shore's Will. That was a power on a completely different level from Transcendent Reincarnation. If he could control the Other Shore's Will for just a few more seconds, Rosen wouldn't need to battle the Will of Reincarnation with wits and strength; he could simply crush her and consume her entirely.

Although the Other Shore's Will had dissipated, Rosen's gains weren't limited to the strengthening of his Emperor's Will. The Other Shore's Will was merely a power. The true means that instantly crushed the Will of Reincarnation's immortal will was actually the Nightfall Reincarnation, enhanced to the extreme by the mutational evolution of the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. Even now that the Other Shore's Will has dissipated, Nightfall Reincarnation was permanently strengthened in that brief moment. This was the second extraordinary skill transcending reincarnation that Rosen mastered, after "One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones."

"I underestimated you too much," the Will of Reincarnation said, opening her eyes without a trace of anger.

"You didn't underestimate me; you were just too greedy," Rosen retorted.

The Will of Reincarnation did not refute him, because she knew it was the truth. It was this realization that kept her from getting angry, making her calmer instead. She wanted to possess Rosen's Reincarnation Source Body, obtain Rosen's Ancestral Spirit organ, and even devour Rosen's immortal will, which had fused with the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. She wanted too much, and she couldn't tolerate any damage to what she sought to take. But this was impossible; Rosen was not a defenseless victim. Although the Will of Reincarnation was confident she was stronger than Rosen, it was undeniable that they now stood at the same height. In such a situation, how could she arrogantly believe she could seize everything without any damage?

The Will of Reincarnation finally understood completely. She no longer cared if the Reincarnation Source Body was damaged, if the Ancestral Spirit's will revived, or even about the pollution and corruption of the Other Shore's Sacred Radiance. Either she would conquer everything, or she would become nourishment for the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit or Rosen.
