Chapter 196 Soul Palette and the War Between Two Worlds   Chapter 195

  It has been a few days since Amy woke up, and Rosen found that Amy was a little dazed.

  Except for when he smiles when facing machines, he usually acts dull and cannot exert any power of a dreamer at all.

  Between the machines and the elves, Amy is actually more like a machine.

  Amy's memory is blank. Strictly speaking, she was actually a newborn who was over 10,000 years old when she was born.

  Rosen had no choice but to hand Amy over to Alicia and teach her how to understand the world correctly.

  Alicia liked Amy very much, so she gave all her mechanical mounts to Amy, and also gave the control of the mechanical city to Amy. After consideration, Rosen gave Alicia the Dragon Tooth Dagger as compensation.

  Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the turmoil in the human world began to subside.

  Rosen continued on his journey and teleported directly to the City of Stars.

  He used the miracle wish and, at the cost of consuming two hundred thousand spiritual crystals, saved himself from a two-day journey of more than 100,000 miles. He was easily teleported to the vicinity of the City of Stars, the holy land of all artists on this sacred continent.

  After registering at the city gate and receiving his ID card, Rosen couldn't wait to enter the City of Stars.

  Even though this is the imperial capital, there are very few pedestrians on the streets.

  Just like the Dungeon Kingdom, because there are so many extraordinary people gathered here, ordinary people simply cannot survive here. The divine aura emitted by the High Sequence Instinct is enough to cause ordinary people to collapse spiritually, so ordinary people here also live in various spiritual realms.

  So on the surface, there are only tens of thousands of extraordinary people living in the City of Stars and hundreds of thousands of foreign artists.

  Rosen came to the painters branch, ready to find out which painters were more famous in the City of Stars.

  A painter who can make a name for himself here must be one of the best painters.

  However, the result disappointed Rosen a little. Although the City of Stars is good, it is not home.

  Therefore, most of the artists who came from all over the Holy Continent have returned home in recent days.

  However, it became easier for him to acquire special painter skills, because the official Star Empire issued a war warning. From now on, the extraordinary people who make enough contributions in facing the threats from the spiritual world will be able to enter the official treasury of the Star Empire and choose any treasure.

  Moreover, a playwright has predicted that in six days at most, part of the spiritual world will merge with the City of Stars.

  It can even be said that the City of Stars is the city where the spiritual world fusion phenomenon was first and most serious in the Holy Continent.

  Because the entire city is an artist's masterpiece, the stone benches on the roadside, the bricks under your feet, every blade of grass, every tree and every stone in the entire city, all are artists' masterpieces and filled with spiritual power, so this place is a huge cake for the spiritual world.

  Regarding the situation in the City of Stars, Rosen had already thought of this possibility before coming.

  So after leaving the Painters Guild, he went straight to the hotel and waited for the spiritual world and reality to merge.

  I hadn't lived there for a day when I received good news from the Painters Guild.

  It turned out that more and more artists were running away, and in order to retain them, the Star Empire had to open the Imperial Treasury ahead of schedule.

  All artists who are willing to stay can withdraw a treasure from the Imperial Treasury in advance based on their demonstrated strength and value. However, they must sign a contract after receiving the treasure and cannot leave the City of Stars before repaying a contribution equal to the value of the treasure.

  This is indeed good news for Rosen, and the news has not yet spread.

  He was able to get the advance notice from the Painters Guild thanks to the generous tip he gave to the front desk.

  Rosen rushed to the Palace of Stars where the Imperial Treasury was located as soon as possible. At this time, some artists who had received the news had already lined up in advance.

  There were dozens of people in front of Rosen. After registering in groups of ten, they entered the Palace of Stars.

  Rosen was in the sixth group. After registering, he followed the palace guards into the Sequence 3 Star Palace that was carefully built by the architect.

  As long as the Palace of Stars does not fall, the City of Stars will not fall.

  The Palace of Stars is filled with starlight, making all the buildings inside hazy and extremely mysterious under the starlight.

  After passing through the maze-like corridor, Rosen and his ten companions finally arrived at the main entrance of the Imperial Treasury.

  At this time, the main door was wide open, and the artist who had selected the treasures in front was already making the final contract at the door.

  There is only one minute to choose, which is short but enough.

  Because the imperial authorities had already stored all the inventory below Sequence 3 in the imperial treasury on the virtual network, Rosen had already picked out what he wanted on his way to the Palace of Stars, so he went directly to the shelf where the corresponding treasures were placed and picked up a skill crystal.

  After signing the contract and returning to the hotel, Rosen couldn't wait to refine this skill.

  [Aid's palette: Capturing the spirituality of life and transforming it into pigments]

  Rosen mastered fifth-dimensional painting, but he couldn't paint in five dimensions.

  Because conventional pigments cannot complete five-dimensional painting, only pigments transformed from spirituality can be painted on time, space and energy.

  Ed's color palette is not the best among such skills, but it is definitely top-notch at the Sequence 5 level.

  After all, it is a special skill, and it can be easily mastered with skill crystals.

  Taking advantage of the five days of preparation time, Rosen came to the Divine Realm to prepare for the final transformation of the Divine Realm.

  Rosen opened the Void Album and turned to a page of stick drawings.

  The stick drawings were the crudest things he had ever drawn, and all of them were casually drawn when he was sealing the spirits of the giant beasts. Those that turned into light balls as trophies were fine, but he would not miss any of the ones that left corpses as long as he could extract their spirits.

  Rosen infused the painting with his own divinity, and quickly transformed the spirit of the Void Peregrine Falcon in the painting into paint using Ed's palette.

  This pigment is silvery white and transparent because the Void Peregrine possesses strong spatial power.

  Therefore, this kind of pigment is most suitable for five-dimensional painting in space.

  Rosen took out some spiritual crystals with the attribute of time, then extracted the divine power of the bronze dragon from them, and then extracted the spirituality of a giant beast with no attributes but a strong body from the void album. The two spiritualities merged and transformed into a pigment with the attribute of time.

  Finally, the energy attribute pigments are easy to deal with. Just collect the giant beast spirits with elemental attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light and darkness.

  After all three pigments were ready, Rosen took the magic brush and began to paint in five dimensions in the divine territory.

  The simplest form of spatial painting is actually writing spatial spiritual runes in the void of the divine territory.

  It's just that there are a lot of them, and a special sort is needed to connect all the space spiritual runes together to form a whole.

  Time is more difficult to draw, because space at least has a length, width and height, but time has no carrier.

  So Rosen took out a large number of spiritual crystals with the attribute of time, and then drew time spiritual runes on the spiritual crystals one by one. Finally, he sent these spiritual crystals to the corresponding spatial coordinates, and then shattered the time spiritual runes at the same time, allowing the divine territory to absorb them.

  In this process, the spiritual runes of time and the spiritual runes of space are interwoven into an invisible three-dimensional four-dimensional canvas.

  Finally, Rosen took out the energy-attribute paint and began to paint the spiritual world he wanted to create on this invisible canvas.

  When the invisible spiritual realm painting was completed, the painting began to merge with the time, space and energy of the divine territory, eventually forming a double-circular world similar to a Möbius strip.

  As Rosen was standing in the divine territory, he appeared in the crater of a volcano burning with blazing flames.

  From now on, anyone who sets foot in his divine territory will be instantly teleported to this spiritual world with only volcanoes.

  A Dragon King's Roaring bomb here can more than double the ultimate lethality.

  Coupled with the already terrifying damage, there is even a slight chance of killing the newly promoted Sequence 3.

  This will be his strongest trump card in killing enemies. Anyone who knows about it before he reaches Sequence 3 will die.

  Rosen was still not satisfied, and continued to paint new spiritual realm paintings in the volcanic spiritual realm using five-dimensional painting.

  Theoretically, up to nine levels of space could be superimposed. Of course, he could only paint three levels at most in a short period of time.

  However, as long as there are three layers of space, the effect of infinite space loop can be produced. Even if one layer of space is destroyed, as long as the three layers of space are not destroyed at the same time, the destroyed space can loop infinitely.

  If it is the sixth level of space, time loop can be carried out. If it is the ninth level, even spiritual memory can be reset continuously.

  Before the partial arrival of the spiritual world, Rosen finally finished drawing the third world under the acceleration of time drawing.

  This time, what was painted was not a volcano, but an icy world that froze everything.

  Strictly speaking, five-dimensional paintings should be exactly the same.

  There is no need for volcanoes or frozen worlds. The two five-dimensional paintings should be a complete replica of the divine territory.

  Rosen did this mainly because he had the miracle painting Möbius Strip.

  As long as there is a need, any of the three levels of space in the divine territory can be separated and turned into the ninth level of space at any time.

  Seeing that there was still a lot of time left, Rosen simply hugged Alicia and slept with her.

  The next day, the flashing red light of the ID card successfully woke Rosen up.

  Rosen picked up the ID card from the bedside table and took a look at it. This ID card was not only a personal identification, but also a login to the virtual network of the Star Empire. The official of the Star City had already assigned him the city area that he would guard next.

  After getting dressed and cleaning up the exciting battlefield, Rosen appeared on the rooftop of the hotel with Alicia flashing in the air.

  What he needs to guard is this hotel, and what needs to be protected are the countless spiritual artworks inside the hotel.

  The City of Stars at this moment is completely different from what it was a few days ago.

  All the buildings were taken down like building blocks, and then all the buildings were spaced apart.

  Originally, the hotel and the nearby shopping mall were only a hundred meters apart, but now they are dozens of kilometers apart.

  After all the buildings in the City of Stars were dispersed, the city's area expanded tens of thousands of times.

  There are two benefits to doing this. The first is that it separates the spiritual world's descending areas.

  The spiritual world descends into reality because it is hungry and needs to replenish its spiritual energy.

  Therefore, the more and stronger the spirituality, the stronger the power carried by the area where the spiritual world descends and merges.

  After the hotel merged with the spirit world, at most a few Sequence 5s would come here, and at most a few Sequence 4s at best.

  However, there will definitely be a terrifying existence of Sequence 1 in the Palace of Stars.

  If the City of Stars had not been split up, the hotel would have definitely been destroyed by the aftermath of the Sequence 1 battle.

  So now the Palace of Stars has been lifted to a height of 100,000 miles directly above the City of Stars, in order not to drag down the City of Stars. Suddenly, Rosen heard the sound of glass breaking, and he looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the space had cracked.

  The first thing that descended from the spiritual world was a mirage-like projection, and the scattered projections enveloped each building.

  The hotel was instantly surrounded by countless giant trees. As time passed, the sound of breaking glass intensified, and the space continued to merge, the mirage-like projections of the giant trees around the hotel began to become more and more real.

  Even in the gaps between the giant trees, Rosen saw giants whose bodies turned from virtual to real.

  By this time, all the extraordinary people in the hotel had already rushed to the rooftop.

  There were not many people, only about a hundred in number, and most of them were Sequence 6. There were only three Sequence 5 including Rosen.

  The two are a sculptor and a musician.

  "Let's just get to know each other briefly!"

  The musician, wearing a performance costume covered with glittering scales, said proudly, "I am Shadiya, the hereditary marquis."

  The sculptor nodded and said, "Hereditary Earl Toru."

  "Hereditary Duke Rosen."

  Rosen finally said.

  The four words "hereditary duke" silenced Shadiya, who wanted to have the right to speak.

  "Toru, you will be in charge of guarding the house, and Xiadia, you will take the initiative with me."

  Rosen commanded bluntly, "The rest of you can freely choose whether to stay or attack according to your own situation. I can only guarantee the safety of those who follow me. As for those who rush forward and seek their own death, I may not be able to rescue them in time."

  After he finished speaking, he partially expanded the divine territory and released more than a hundred metal slimes, ten thousand shadow demons, and a thousand wood elves.

  Except for the wood elves, all other troop types were ranked at Sequence 6, and the other nobles present were completely unable to say a word.

  They were all artists and nobles, and the lowest among them were Sequence 6 Lords of the Divine Realm.

  Because of this, they knew very well how powerful the troops released by Rosen were.

  The super strong defensive capabilities of just one hundred sequence 6 metal slimes are enough to make the hotel guarded impenetrable.

  When the giant trees around the hotel were completely integrated into reality and no longer illusory, Alicia led all the wood elves to cast the war magic Nature's Wrath. All the plants within a radius of dozens of miles came to life and entangled all the giants to restrict their movements.

  All the shadow demons also dispersed, and the void shadow world spread wherever they went.

  Gradually, all the Sequence 5 Giants were covered by the void shadow world.

  "That's it?"

  Rosen used the divine power to alternate between light and darkness, and all the sequence 5 giants were pulled into the void shadow world and disappeared.

  At this time, inside the Void Shadow Realm, a mere six Sequence 5 giants had been surrounded and beaten.

  The Storm Thunderbird entangled one, the Nightmare Slime entangled one, Amy faced one head-on, and the Miracle Fairy Dragon dealt with another one. The last two could not withstand the super-fast mental bullets fired by the Dragon King's Wrath in the hands of the Self-Portrait clone.

  In the end, except for the Storm Thunderbird which was a little embarrassed, it was easy to deal with the rest of the giants.

  However, Rosen was not careless. At this stage, those who fell from the spirit world were ordinary giants from the surface of the spirit world.

  As time goes by, giants of higher orders from the depths of the spiritual world will descend one after another.

  If a divine giant or an extremely rare giant king really appeared, it would not be easy for Rosen to deal with it.

  The most difficult prey, Rosen, has been dealt with, and the rest are not up to Toru and Shadiya to deal with.

  However, the two were not idle. Toru wandered in the giant tree forest, integrating his own spiritual wood carvings into each giant tree. When necessary, the spiritual wood carvings could manipulate the giant trees to come alive and fight at any time.

  Xia Diya stayed on the rooftop, but she expanded the divine territory and released the territory's buildings into a void stage.

  Then he summoned his own band, sat in front of the devil's piano, and was ready to perform his highest-level symphony at any time.

  Toru and Shatia were both well aware that Rosen was demonstrating his strength by instantly clearing out six Sequence 5 Titans.

  This shows that he is not only a hereditary duke, but also has greater strength than the other two.

  Only after Toru and Shatia gave up the idea of ​​fighting for power were they truly willing to follow Rosen's reasonable command.

  While everyone else was busy hunting giants, Rosen had some free time.

  But soon he had a headache because he found that the spiritual world was slightly rejecting him?

  Rosen soon understood what was going on. He found that after other artists hunted giants, they could not say that they had no spoils, but they were very pitiful. Hunting a sequence 6 giant, the gains were not as valuable as hunting a sequence 9 spirit life?

  However, the few giants he hunted were all in the void shadow world and the territory of the gods, and the spoils he gained were not discounted at all.

  After a little thought, Rosen understood what was going on. All the spoils had been snatched away by the spiritual world.

  According to his understanding, the spiritual world is very likely related to the contemporary ancient gods. Maybe it is the ancient gods' sea of ​​consciousness or dreams. Now the spiritual world is hungry and crying out for food, so it merges with reality, plundering spirituality from reality to make up for the emptiness of the spiritual world.

  If the spiritual lives sent down dropped normal loot, this would not be a disaster but a pie in the sky.

  Therefore, after the spiritual life that descends to the world dies, the spiritual matter that constitutes the spiritual life is recycled by the spiritual world.

  He intercepted the spiritual materials that the spiritual world wanted to recycle, so he was naturally rejected by the spiritual world.

  Rosen now truly understood why the arrival of the spirit world this time was a catastrophe for the human race.

  Because the number of spiritual lives that have descended is innumerable, no matter how hard you try, you can never kill them all, because no matter how hard you kill them, it will be a loss. To put it bluntly, humans are feeding the spirit world, and if the spirit world is not full, the spirit world will not let humans go.

  Rosen unfolded the void shadow world and threw out all the giant's corpses and dropped items.

  Sure enough, as the things disappeared and were recovered by the spirit world, the rejection of the spirit world also disappeared.

  As time goes by, a group of spiritual beings will inevitably descend from the spiritual world, perhaps a few hours or a day.

  At first there were giants, and later even giant beasts and elves began to appear.

  These are all extraordinary lives that once died in reality. After death, their spirits were captured by the spiritual world and reborn as spiritual beings. However, there are only a very small number of spiritual beings that are capable of intelligence, and none of them have descended so far.

  At this time, everyone on the hotel rooftop except Rosen had a bad look on their face.

  The extreme reduction in spoils was just the beginning. Gradually, people discovered that the spiritual energy their own divine territories absorbed from the spiritual world was decreasing.

  The divine territory is two sides of the same coin, existing in both the sea of ​​consciousness and the spiritual world.

  The Divine Realm must continuously draw spirituality from the spiritual world in order to maintain its sustainable development.

  However, the spiritual world is now hungry, and it has unilaterally cut off the channels through which the Divine Realm draws spiritual energy from it.

  Therefore, the Lord of the Divine Realm can only rely on the stored spiritual crystals to maintain the consumption of the Divine Realm territory.

  Even the energy consumed in hunting spiritual life can only be replenished by using one's own reserves.

  It's okay for a short period of time, but if it goes on for a long time, many people's assets will not be able to hold on.

  If this continues, what will the human supernatural beings who are forced into a desperate situation do?

  The better ones will hunt down supernatural beings in reality and look for spiritual resources in reality to feed the spiritual world.

  Those who are a little bit evil and have no ability can only attack ordinary people.

  Rosen sighed. He now regretted a little bit for falling into the quagmire of the City of Stars.

  Fortunately, it is not without any gain. Hunting spiritual life can gain merit, which can not only be exchanged for resources from the Star Treasury, but also for titles from the World Government. Therefore, the situation can be maintained before the Star Treasury collapses.

  In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and now the spirit world has descended and the lives in the spirit world have been cooked like dumplings.

  There were originally over a hundred people on the hotel rooftop, but now there are over two hundred people.

  Because not every nearby area has a strong man like Rosen, and not every area can easily hunt down all the spiritual life that descends, so that some areas cannot hold on, and are finally completely assimilated by the spiritual world and drained of all spirituality.

  All the artists in the surrounding area fled to other areas, which led to an increasing number of people on the hotel rooftop.

  However, the more people there are, the more delicious they are in the eyes of the spiritual world, and the more spiritual lives will descend.

  On this day, Rosen, as usual, kept flashing in the void and hunting the spiritual beings approaching the hotel.

  Suddenly, he felt that a shadow demon had died.

  Although Shadow Fiend's frontal combat capability is not top-notch, his lurking ability, life-saving means, assassination ability and instantaneous explosive power are extremely strong, making it impossible for Shadow Fiend to escape. It is obvious that a truly dangerous prey has arrived.

  Rosen flashed directly into the void to the vicinity of the disappearing shadow demon, but did not find any trace of the prey.

  He immediately ordered all artists to evacuate urgently.

  Because he used his death perception, he couldn't detect any trace of his prey.

  It was obvious that the prey was an intelligent spiritual life with super-strong lurking abilities, and the ordinary Sequence 6 artist was doomed to fail.

  Rosen's notification was timely, but a Sequence 6 gourmet was still killed.

  He was killed instantly with one strike, and there was no time to use his life-saving trump card.

  Fortunately, his spirit was only severely damaged and he still has a chance to be resurrected in the divine territory.

  After Rosen returned to the hotel rooftop, he immediately entered the gourmet's divine territory through a void gate.

  In order to prevent possible casualties in recent years, all the lords of the divine realm have left portals on the hotel rooftops.

  If there is a situation where spiritual trauma is severe, others can come in and offer some help.

  Rosen took out some spring water of life. With the nourishment of the spring water of life, the gourmet, who would have taken at least a dozen years to recover from his spiritual injuries and complete his resurrection, was resurrected under the ancient sequence tree in just a few days.

  In the past few days, everyone has been staying on the rooftop, relying on long-range attacks to clear out the surrounding giant trees.

  However, the murderer was never found until the resurrected gourmet told his story.

  (End of this chapter)
