 Chapter 166: History Buried in Ashes and the Fight between Master and Servant

  Chapter 165

  "Don't commit suicide for now..."

  After weighing the pros and cons, Rosen shook his head.

  It would not be too late to enter this Sequence 3 spiritual realm deep in the island when one becomes stronger.

  Two months passed in a flash, and Rosen successfully dominated Clement's spiritual self.

  Rosen released Clement from the painting, and he immediately bowed respectfully to Rosen like a loyal servant.

  After instructing Clement to continue being a pirate, Rosen rode on the Quetzalcoatl warship and continued his journey back to the Principality of Blazing Shadow.

  There were no accidents on the following route. After approaching the island where the Principality of Chiying was located, he made a half circle and came directly to Blackrock Port. He had escaped from here by steam train in the past. Now he was revisiting the place and wondered if he could see familiar faces.

  The largest tavern near the port, with a familiar owner.

  Rosen came to the second floor of the tavern and prepared to purchase information about the Black Shark pirate ship with ease.

  However, after waiting for a while, the tavern owner still did not deliver the information.

  Rosen immediately realized that the tavern owner might have some relationship with the Black Shark.

  He separated the Godhunter's Eye from his right eye, escaped into the void and shadows, and came directly to the tavern owner's lounge.

  Through his mind-reading ability, Rosen quickly understood what was going on.

  Captain Black Shark was Sequence 7 in his early years, but his spirituality was damaged and he fell to Sequence 8.

  Later, in the Death Jungle Spirit Realm, he successfully healed his own spirit by offering sacrifices to the statue of the Cat God. In the years since then, Captain Black Shark has not been idle, but has quickly grown to Sequence 6.

  He even captured several pirate ships and formed a small-scale Black Shark Pirate Group.

  In the small Black Rock Port, the Black Shark Pirates are already the largest force.

  Naturally, the tavern owner didn't dare to offend, so he had already informed the Black Shark Pirates that someone was buying their intelligence.

  At this moment, people from the Black Shark Pirates have come to capture him.

  Rosen shook his head and left the gray mouse to leave Blackstone Harbor.

  The Black Shark is not currently docked at the port, and it is unknown when it will return to Black Rock Harbor.

  With Gray Rat's means, it is not difficult to wipe out the Black Shark Pirates.

  Rosen kept flashing in the void, and soon left Blackrock Harbor and headed towards the ash zone that he once feared.

  The number of ash lives is smaller in places with many people, but larger in places with fewer people.

  If it weren't for the fact that life on the ash would rarely leave the ash-covered area, a small place like Blackrock Harbor would be impossible to survive.

  Rosen summoned 37 Ash Queen Bees, which scattered towards the surrounding fog.

  Today, an Ash Bee Queen has been born in the Ash Hive.

  Neither the Ash Bee Queen nor the Ash Bee King possesses the two characteristics of being unique in the world and being eternal and immortal.

  Obviously, these two kinds of existence are not the first to be born.

  Rosen tried to let the Ash Queen Bee return to its ancestral bloodline, but the Ash Queen Bee did not become a new life. It was only upgraded from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7. As long as it does not encounter the Beast King, there is no ash life below Sequence 4 that the Sequence 7 Ash Queen Bee cannot kill.

  Even Rosen, surrounded by ashes, had his senses suppressed to the point of being almost gone.

  However, the Ash Queen Bee is like a fish in water in the ashes. After all, this kind of life is an extraordinary life born in the ashes.

  Rosen had nothing to do, so he summoned a pile of firewood and began to gather the ashes around it.

  The ashes covering human civilization are exactly the same as the ashes brought about by the backlash of civilization.

  But why do the ashes that cover human civilization cover the entire human world?

  The curse of the fallen god was just a joke to Rosen, who knew the true face of Ashes.

  The firewood pile quickly absorbed all the ashes within a radius of 380 meters. However, there was not a single complete piece of firewood on the firewood pile. Even though he expanded the range and collected ashes within a radius of several miles, the amount of firewood formed increased, but not a single piece was complete.

  Rosen continued to collect, and finally, after collecting ashes from hundreds of miles around, he finally saw the birth of a complete piece of firewood.

  He immediately lit the stick in the woodpile and used the curtain of ash to illuminate the remaining light.

  In the light, Rosen saw a forest, a cabin in the woods, and an old hunter who was collecting his prey.

  Yu Guangzhong recorded too little history, and there is nothing valuable to be found.

  However, when he saw the hunter praying after dealing with the prey, he suddenly felt very familiar.

  Rosen immediately used his spiritual consciousness to enter a special library in the virtual world. It was a copy of the books in the city library of the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom. He took out a book on the religious system of the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom and quickly found the answer he wanted.

  He was not mistaken. The old hunter was actually a believer in the True God Xinhuo.

  Rosen continued to collect firewood, and a few days later he collected another complete firewood.

  It was lit again, using the ash curtain to reflect the remaining light of the ashes of civilization, and this time people were actually seen.

  However, it was no longer in the woods, but a fully automated farm that looked very high-tech.

  Judging from the architectural style, it is completely different from that of the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom.

  On some machines on the farm, Rosen saw a completely unfamiliar text.

  But there are people in this farm, at least human-shaped ones.

  Looking at the entire world, human civilization is very special.

  If other civilizations are destroyed, they are truly destroyed, and they can only rely on the spiritual world to retain a glimmer of hope.

  But human civilization seems to have collapsed and risen many times.

  By collecting ashes, Rosen discovered that the ashes covering the Principality of Blazing Shadow came from at least two different civilizations.

  Rosen used to think that the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom was just a humanoid life form, or a branch of the human race.

  But now it seems that the Kingdom of Ashes may really be a human civilization, but it is a destroyed human civilization.

  If this is true, the ashes covering human civilization are most likely the ashes left behind by human civilizations that have been destroyed in past dynasties. However, as far as he knows, the ashes come from the flames of civilization, and the flames of civilization come from the Kingdom of Fire.

  Could it be that the human civilization that perished before the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom could also be reduced to ashes?

  Or did the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom only discover the Xinhuo Divine Fire instead of creating it?

  Rosen suddenly had a doubt. Are these ashes from human civilization really harmful to the human race?

  The ashes certainly bring various threats to humans, but they also block the alien races.

  The waters of human civilization are very deep. Rosen pondered for a long time and hid the secret he discovered today in his heart.

  The Ash Bee Queen killed people in the fog and caused a river of blood to flow. Rosen also found that his merits were increasing through the ancient tree of the noble sequence.

  I had nothing to do, so Rosen drove the Quetzalcoatl chariot towards Red Stone City.

  I walked and stopped along the way, shooting the ash lives as I pleased, and it took less than half an hour to reach Red Stone City.

  Rosen looked at the city that was familiar yet unfamiliar in his memory. Little Rosen's memory was very familiar with this city, but his memory was unfamiliar with this city because he was forced to hide in the mysterious study due to his limited experience in Red Stone City.

  Back when he was in the Principality of Chiying, he had not yet realized that many things were wrong.

  But later, as I became more knowledgeable and experienced, I realized that something was wrong with Red Stone City.

  His divine territory is definitely not as simple as an ordinary divine territory.

  Strictly speaking, his divine domain is just an appendage of the noble skill Glory Treasure.

  This is a special skill crystal born from the power of the Hunting Divine Authority, combining the secret storage space of the Hunter Sequence 8's extraordinary abilities with the damaged noble Sequence 7 extraordinary essence inside the Sequence 7 Bloodline Compass.

  The birth process looked normal, but could the prototype of the Divine Realm be born with these?

  Obviously, the Sequence 7 Bloodline Compass was abnormal.

  Because unlike other civilization sequences that can still leave behind extraordinary source essence, after the death of the noble sequence, the extraordinary source essence will directly return to the noble sequence ancient trees in the spiritual world. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to intercept it and make it into a blood compass.

  The Viscount Redstone family should not own such a thing.

  Rosen walked down the street and found that he knew so many people in the outskirts of Red Stone City.

  Many of them had been seen in the virtual spiritual realm, and his powerful spirituality allowed him to easily recall everyone's faces from many years ago.

  Passing through the outer city and entering the inner city, Rosen soon arrived at the villa once owned by the Howard family.

  The villa is no longer there. It seems that it was destroyed and converted into a toilet.

  Although Rosen didn't care about the villa where little Rosen had lived since he was a child, he still felt furious when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

  For the sake of his old lover Stephanie and the close relationship between Sunny and little Rosen, he had originally planned to give Sunny a quick death, but now it seems that being unable to live or die might be more suitable for Sunny.

  Rosen looked up at the sky, and the ash curtain instantly cast a meteor in the sky.

  He turned and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. Soon after, a fist-sized meteor fell to the ground, turning the area within a hundred meters into a sea of ​​fire.

  The city lord's mansion is not very big, and Viscount Redstone's castle is also very small.

  Although small, it has all the necessary facilities, including dozens of servants of various kinds.

  Rosen did not find Sunny and her husband, but he discovered that Viscount Redstone had been replaced by someone else, who should be the eldest son of Viscount Redstone.

  The new Viscount Redstone, who was busy with official business at the moment, had no idea that there was an extra person in front of his desk.

  Mind reading can only read current thoughts. If you want to know past memories, the person being read needs to actively recall them.

  Under his control, Rosen's spiritual energy formed an arm like a living thing, grabbed the new Viscount Redstone's hair and lifted him up, and at the same time, the nightmare shackles spreading in his hands sealed his spirituality.

  Kaiden Redstone looked at the empty study in front of him with horror, and in the blink of an eye his spirituality disappeared from his body.

  Rosen extracted Caden's spirit through the heart prison of the ash curtain, and soon dug out all of Caden's memories from childhood to adulthood.

  Kayden's brother Kerry and Kerry's wife Sunny have now completely separated.

  Carrie, who did not become a noble, now takes Sunny to another city to run a winery.

  As for the old Viscount Redstone, he has become Sequence 6 and stepped onto the front line.

  This is very abnormal. Kaiden is just a Sequence 8 gourmet. He has finally become the old Viscount of Redstone at Sequence 6. He should stay to hunt the ash lives and help his beloved eldest son to expand the family.

  Why did he suddenly rush to the frontline a few years ago? How could he give people the feeling of fleeing in desperation? Rosen began to search through Kayden's memory carefully, trying to understand the old Viscount Redstone through Kayden's memory.

  Kaiden has been favored since he was a child. After all, he has shown the ability to awaken his spirituality since he was a child.

  But there was one time when Caden was taught a lesson by old Viscount Redstone.

  That time, the naughty Cayden, while playing in the study, accidentally entered a hidden secret room in the study, where he saw a statue of a god. That time, Cayden was beaten up by Viscount Redstone.

  When Rosen saw the statue, he understood something. It seemed that old Viscount Redstone was a believer in God.

  This god is the one who killed little Rosen's parents.

  Even the successive Viscounts of Redstone might have been monitoring the Howard family.

  It's just that this god has been confirmed to have fallen, so little Rosen escaped. Viscount Redstone, who was unable to contact the god, must have been frightened, so he never did anything against little Rosen again.

  However, old Viscount Redstone did not expect that his second son's wife, Sunny, would target little Rosen.

  To put it bluntly, little Rosen was too insignificant at the time, and old Viscount Redstone didn't take him seriously at all.

  Or rather, he dared not take it seriously. It was not a good thing for nobles to believe in gods. The old Viscount Redstone should have realized that something had happened to the god he believed in, so he dared not stare at little Rosen anymore and could only try to get rid of the involvement by completely ignoring him.

  Unexpectedly, he was tricked by Sunny, and finally the old Viscount Redstone fled to the front line in fear?

  This should be the most reasonable explanation. The Bloodline Compass might be something that the god gave to the Redstone family.

  But since they had escaped, why didn't they take their two sons with them?

  The second son, Kerry, is fine, but the eldest son, Caden, is obviously the apple of my eye.

  Did they all flee when disaster struck, or was there another reason?

  Perhaps there was a possibility that the old Viscount Redstone only loved himself the most from the beginning to the end.

  Leaving behind two sons, if both are alive and well means nothing happened.

  If he dies, Old Viscount Redstone will be able to find him immediately through the ancient tree of the noble sequence.

  By then we will be able to confirm that something has really happened, and old Viscount Redstone will definitely continue to flee and even escape from the human world.

  Rosen opened the secret room in the study, and it was empty, with nothing left.

  "Are we going to the front line to arrest people?"

  Rosen frowned.

  The key point is that he doesn't know whether the old Viscount Redstone is worth his while.

  If not, just kill with the curse once you have mastered the ability.

  He also thought about hiring assassins to go to the front line to capture people, but if the front line joined the World Government coalition, it would not be easy to capture old Viscount Redstone, and if there were any secrets, the hired assassins might not be trustworthy.

  Rosen peeled off the skin from Kaiden's back, made it into drawing paper and incorporated it into the void album.

  Then use the drawing technique to perfectly depict Kayden's charm on the drawing paper.

  Then he sealed Kaiden into the painting, and finally used the Mind Canvas to modify Kaiden's memory and brainwash him.

  A mere Sequence 8, there was no need to send him to the Void God Prison. With the combination of Mind Control and Mind Canvas, he could directly modify his memory and control his spirituality. Kaiden, who had completely lost himself, continued to handle his official duties as if nothing had happened.

  However, if old Viscount Redstone can't help but show up, Rosen will definitely know it first.

  The self-portrait clone returned less than half an hour after it left. Kerry and Sunny, who were far away in another city, had also been brainwashed and turned into puppets. When the old Viscount Redstone showed up, they were neither able to live nor die.

  After finishing his business here, Rosen decided to go to the spirit world to take away the treasure hidden by the gray mouse.

  Driving the Quetzalcoatl chariot and activating the spirit world stealth, he has entered the surface of the spirit world.

  In the spiritual world of the Principality of Chiying, almost the entire island was covered in flames.

  What is shown here should be the period of 25,000 years ago, when the Blazing Shadow Ore had not yet been created.

  That kind of ore with amazing combustion efficiency should be the product of this sea of ​​fire.

  Going back to the time of the Xinhuo Divine Kingdom, the island should have been covered with plants.

  It's just that perhaps the destruction of the Xinhuo civilization caused the entire island to be engulfed in flames, burying all traces of civilization.

  Rosen carefully sensed the flames around him. The flames that destroyed civilization gave him the feeling that they were like the flames that burned away all traces of civilization when the flame of civilization was extinguished. If this was true, then these flames might contain traces of the flame of civilization.

  However, even with the help of the miracle fire, the source of all fire, he did not detect any trace of fire.

  Instead, he sensed faint traces of divinity. It seemed that the entire island was destroyed by the power of the gods.

  These should not be secrets, but there is no need to publicize them.

  Two hours later, Rosen drove his Quetzalcoatl chariot recklessly and came to a barren mountain burning with flames.

  The surface of the mountain was melted into magma, but the magma did not flow down the mountain. Instead, it flowed upstream, causing the mountain to grow bigger little by little. Such scenes, which are contrary to the rules of real physics, are not uncommon in the spiritual world.

  Because the spiritual world is dominated by spirit, and spirit is most easily influenced by the thoughts of all living beings.

  Someone may have written a book in real life that mentioned a mountain with lava backflow, or someone may have dreamed about such a mountain. All kinds of spiritual activities originating from reality may have an impact on the spiritual world.

  The map of the spirit world corresponds to the real map. The farther away from the gathering place of real life, the more absurd and outrageous the environment of the spirit world becomes.

  So even though this mountain looks strange, it is actually difficult to attract the attention of extraordinary beings above Sequence 7.

  In addition, there are not many extraordinary people above Sequence 7 in the Principality of Chiying, so no one will notice this mountain.

  Rosen put away his mechanical mount, then started from the foot of the mountain and jumped backwards to the top of the mountain.

  His strong physique allowed him to ignore the burning flames, and his jumping speed became faster and faster.

  In the end, it exceeded the speed of sound and finally jumped directly into a hole similar to a crater on the top of the mountain and disappeared.

  This is the method set by Gray Squirrel to enter the spiritual realm in the mountains. It is difficult to get in if you don't know the method.

  Rats do have some talent when it comes to hiding things.

  After Rosen fell into the volcano, he appeared in a castle.

  The void flickered and I arrived at the castle tower, from where I could see a city full of gray rat people.

  These grey rat people are all lives created by grey rats, and they all believe in grey rats.

  As long as this spiritual realm still exists and as long as faith is not severed, it will not be easy for the gray mouse to die completely.

  Because this is the gray squirrel's last resort, it is very well hidden here.

  However, this kind of spiritual realm that has been completely controlled cannot be placed in the spiritual world for a long time.

  Because the spiritual realm created naturally is almost always dominated by spirit and supplemented by matter.

  But when the spiritual realm is completely controlled, or it is a man-made spiritual realm, it will almost always be materialized.

  This kind of spiritual realm will become mainly material with spirituality as a supplement. If you want to reset the world in this kind of completely controlled spiritual realm, it will be much more difficult than resetting a spiritual realm without a strategy.

  Moreover, if it is placed in the spiritual world for a long time, it is very likely to be transformed back into a system with spirit as the main component and matter as the secondary component.

  By that time, even the spiritual realm that has been completely controlled may get out of control.

  If Rosen had arrived a dozen years later, this spiritual realm would have gradually slipped out of the control of the Gray Squirrel.

  Rosen was about to share the spirituality of the gray mouse, and then use the same spirituality to collect the spiritual realm.

  However, at this moment, his sixth sense suddenly felt uneasy.

  Rosen turned around and saw the gray rat that shouldn't be here.

  He ordered Gray Rat to wait for the Black Shark Pirates at Black Rock Harbor, but Gray Rat appeared here at this time.

  Moreover, it was able to hide it from the Nightmare Shackles, so that he didn't even notice that the Gray Rat had left Blackrock Harbor.

  It seems that all these years, Gray Squirrel has been waiting for the day when he returns to the Principality of Chiying.

  And he unknowingly relaxed his vigilance against the gray mouse.

  Even though he was still on guard and used the Black Shark Pirates as an excuse to get rid of Grey Rat, Grey Rat still found an opportunity to overthrow him. But Grey Rat has been with him for so many years, is he really sure he can turn the tables?

  "You have little chance of winning."

  Rosen said affirmatively.

  "I know, I didn't expect you to grow so fast and become more and more profound..."

  The gray mouse squeaked, "I find that my chances of winning are getting lower and lower. It has reached the point where I have to fight once. If I don't take action this time, I feel that I really have no chance of escaping your slavery."

  "It seems that pets should be raised from childhood, and the lessons of senior hunters should be listened to carefully."

  Rosen sighed.

  "It's too late to understand now."

  Gray Rat grinned and said, "Although my chances of winning are indeed not high, and your mysterious alien space method has been kept secret from me until now, this is my home court. Whether the chances of winning are 10% or 90%, it makes no difference as long as I can win."

  "You're right, the winner takes it all."

  Rosen nodded in agreement.

  The gray mouse instantly created four divine clones. Theoretically, with his 38 divine powers, he could create 38 divine clones. However, the more clones he had, the more dispersed his divinity would be. The four divine clones could maximize the power of the gray mouse.

  The original body and four divine clones simultaneously cast Sequence 7 Gaze of Terror and Sequence 6 Soul Shock.

  After the two skills are superimposed, they are combined into five to attack Rosen's spirit.

  Even with the blessing of the Dragon King, even with the Curtain of Ashes, they cannot block all the damage.

  More importantly, layers of barriers rose up in the castle, and the highest sealing barrier reaching Sequence 3 fell on Rosen.

  Almost all of his abilities other than divinity and miracles were sealed by this castle.

  The four divine clones around the gray rat covered their heads and ran away at a speed ten times faster than before, instantly getting close to Rosen. Their sharp claws filled with plague unleashed a bloodthirsty attack of Sequence 7 and a fatal back attack of Sequence 5, moving behind Rosen at super high speed and dismembering him alive.

  However, watching Rosen turn into paint and disappear, Gray Mouse realized that he had only killed Rosen's self-portrait clone.
