Chapter 14 The Secret of Sequence(1/2)

Wang Changle, who is swimming in the current of memory, is watching the experience called "The Life of Nate Rhines" from a third perspective.

The feeling of absorbing all the memories is more textured and more intuitive than watching old movies in VR.

Nite Rhines is a herder living on the Hagati grassland in the southern continent. His father's generation was a horse herder, specializing in raising war horses for the Balam Empire.

As the son of a clan leader, Nite has been taught from an early age that "train the fiercest horse and sleep with the whitest woman".

At his coming-of-age ceremony when he was fourteen years old, Nite accidentally entered the ancient forest area in order to tame the famous fierce horse Niqab on the grassland.

According to the tribal legends of the Wranglers, the sunless environment in the ancient forest breeds mythical monsters and is a forbidden place on the grassland.

But when Nite broke in after the fierce horse, he saw a scene that he would remember for the rest of his life.

Tens of thousands of creatures were seen, all impaled on giant trees. The ones that were not dead yet were wailing and screaming while their blood was dripping.

The scarlet viscous liquid makes the invisible primitive jungle darker and more eerie.

Looking at those bloody mysterious patterns, Nite froze on the spot, not frightened, but completely obsessed with it, immersed in the spirituality emanating from that death ritual.

A man in a black feather robe was performing some kind of grand ceremony under the tree using the blood of these creatures.

"Buzz"

In a daze, Nite seemed to hear a piece of sorrow filled with death, which was the cry from the soul.

The next moment, with a sad smile on his face, he inexplicably danced the dance of death sacrifice on the spot.

The strong figure surrounded the ancient tree as a sacrificial pile, sweating wantonly and twisting his hands and feet like crazy.

Even though the fierce horse that existed as a rite of passage for Nite was sacrificed by the man under the tree, Nite had no intention of stopping.

It wasn't until the ceremony was completed that Nite stopped still and looked up to see the man who had changed his life's destiny, the chief priest of the Church of Death - Heitel.

Nite, who came out of the ancient forest, successfully embarked on an extraordinary path under the appreciation of Heitel. Not only did he become a believer in the Church of Death, he also took magic potion and became a corpse collector.

At the age of twenty-three, the Balam Empire's regime split into two factions: the East and the West. Due to tribal affiliation, Nite became a royal branch of the East Balam Empire.

In the same year, in a small-scale war, he was successfully promoted to the "Gravedigger" of Sequence 8 and became the leader of the Wrangler.

In order to continue to advance upwards, and to gain enough strength in troubled times to ensure the integrity and continuation of the tribe.

Nite began to actively engage in private activities, not only making blood sacrifices to the Death Church, but also frantically expanding the power of the Death Church.

At the age of thirty-four, the Balam royal family and the Death Church merged and transformed into the Spiritual Religion, which also became the state religion of the Balam Empire.

The leader Heitel was blessed by the gods and promoted to the Death Archon of Sequence 2, becoming an 'angel' level being.

Half a month later, Heitel gave him the magic potion and the acting method, allowing Nite to be successfully promoted to a Sequence 7 psychic, possessing the ability to contact spirits and the spiritual world.

When Nite was forty-one years old, Heitel, who was dedicated to awakening the 'God of Death', was severely corroded during a large-scale ceremony and could no longer leave his mausoleum.

In the same year, the power of the Spiritual Religion began to divide, and a large number of parties appeared in the organization: the Royal Faction, the Artificial Death Faction, the Underworld Faction, the Sleeping Faction, etc.

As a fanatic under Heitel, Nite naturally became the deacon of the Artificial Death Faction, and naturally became a target in the eyes of other factions.

Internal strife has always been what humans are best at, especially when divine power and royal power are inseparable, resulting in a large number of interest systems, and battles will arise.

Four years of internal fighting, the biggest change for Nite was that he transformed from a strong man galloping across the grassland into a sinister old man, both physically and mentally.

Exactly when Nite was forty-five years old, Emperor Roselle opened up sea lanes. The colonial war between the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent broke out, and the civil war in the Spiritual Religion also ended. However, the situation became worse and worse.

In order to gain the power of faith, the Zhengshen Sect in the Southern Continent launched a joint cleanup plan against the Spiritual Religion and the Rose School.

In just two years, the once prosperous Bailang Empire was on the verge of collapse. Even Nite's Wrangler tribe was mostly wiped out in this battle.

In order to protect the tribe and gain a strong voice, he ventured deep into the spiritual world to collect formulas and materials.

Three years ago, he not only successfully promoted to Sequence 6 Necromancer, but also recruited an evil spirit from the underworld as his messenger.

Since then, Nite has not only become the sharpest sword in the Balam Empire, but has also broken through the barrier of the Raging Sea and caused the 'Tyre Murder Case' near Bansi Port, confirming the name of the Spiritual Religion's 'fanatic'.

A month ago, Nite was lucky enough to become the 'gatekeeper' of Sequence 5 with the help of a messenger, and the leader, Heitel, also woke up from his sleeping mausoleum and brought a prophecy.

"The opportunity for death to resurrect lies in Tingen City."

But at this time, the Spiritual Religion Group, which had invaded the Northern Continent for several consecutive years but ended in failure, had no available devotees.

Nite stepped forward. Taking advantage of the influence of the Backlund incident, he not only successfully used the method of spiritual control to develop the old tailor's family into his own spies.

Afterwards, several members of the 'Machine Heart' and 'Punisher' teams were seriously injured, leaving Tingen City empty of extraordinary combat power, and even night patrols became a problem.

Nite successfully invaded the slaughterhouse and used it as a base to develop. Edward also visited nearby sites, but in the end he chose to retreat and was forced to defend to the death.

Nite also began to make its own arrangements and station troops. It was not until Wang Changle broke in that the situation was broken.

...

[Tip: You have absorbed the memory of Nite Rhines, and your Cthulhu knowledge is 2 points, which has been increased to 552 points.]

[Tip: You have obtained the temporary skill, Eye of Death (Passive, LV MAX).]

Eyes of Death (Passive, LV MAX): You will have the vision of the ‘dead’, can look down at the enemy from a higher dimension, and have a strong deterrent effect on undead creatures and spiritual creatures.

....

[Tip: You have obtained the temporary skill, Body of the Dead (Passive, LV 35).]

Body of the Dead (Passive, LV 35): Exudes the aura of the 'dead', and will not be actively attacked by undead creatures, and will not be corroded by the aura of death when entering the spirit world or the underworld.

Tip: When the self is about to enter the 'dying' state, it will be delayed for 40 seconds and quickly absorb the soul units 50 meters away to heal the self. (Cooling time is 15 natural days.)

....

"Hoo~"

When the night breeze in the forest brushed against Wang Changle's cheek, he suddenly woke up.

Looking around, looking at the silent and deserted slaughterhouse under the lonely moon, and the various incomplete spiritual bodies floating around, he will soon begin to sort out the long memories in his mind, and also move his new body.

After a while, the memory melted and transformed, and the confusion in Wang Changle's eyes was gradually replaced by flickers of light.

He activated the [Nightmare Mask] this time, and although he failed to gain any unique power, he gained more than just the ritual magic and additional temporary skills that Nite had collected over the years.

After completely digesting the memory of Nite, Wang Changle also gained a further understanding of the power system and the spiritual sect in this world.

The most critical among them is the understanding of the high-sequence categories, types, abilities and authorities of God's pathways, as well as the spiritual world.

In the world of the 'Lord of Mysteries', although it is divided according to strength, it is indeed divided into 10 sequences from low to high.

But the combat power gap between sequences is not as simple as a change in numbers.

In other words, Sequence 9 to Sequence 5 can be divided by the changes in the levels of paradise. The combat power of Sequence 5 Extraordinaries is almost equivalent to that of Level 5 contractors.

However, in terms of high-sequence combat power classification, Wang Changle and others, except for energy, all have combat powers above level 6, but they cannot be subdivided.

Extraordinaries of Sequence 5 and above, also called high-sequence people, are considered strong in this world.

After all, once promoted from Sequence 5 to Sequence 4, it becomes a comparison between creatures at different latitudes, which is like the difference between demigods and mortals.

The change in combat power is no less than the gap between third-level contractors and fifth-level contractors, but there are differences between the two.

The difference is that the changes in combat effectiveness between sequences are not entirely due to differences in physical qualities, they are more a reflection of one's own strength, authority and personality.

Sequence 4 enters the demigod level, and sequence 3 can be called a ‘saint’. Extraordinaries at these two stages already have the ability to control the power of faith.

If done properly and with enough background, Sequence 3 Extraordinaries can completely rely on the power of faith to become 'gods', just like the gods in One Punch Man or the God of Harvest in 'Moen Town'

.

Sequence 2 is called an angel. Extraordinaries at this stage will have a complete mythical creature form and a personality beyond themselves, thus freeing themselves from the constraints of the path of God.

As for the biggest change in Sequence 1, it is the control of authority and rules. Without the True God, Sequence 1 is an invincible existence in the same field.

Most of these high-sequence beings have the ability to 'resurrection', 'substitute death' or 'immortality', or even 'reincarnation', but other weird abilities are different.

With Wang Changle's current strength, it would be best if he could avoid provoking anyone. Once his death cannot be completely confirmed, the subsequent troubles will be endless.

Of course, Wang Changle gained much more than that. For example, his understanding of the messengers of the spirit world and the underworld, as well as Nite's backup plan, gave Wang Changle a lot of ideas.

The spiritual world is independent of the main world of the 'Lord of Mysteries' and has a unique ecological system and laws.

However, the spirit world is dependent on the main world and exists. This kind of rule ability is similar to the outer and inner worlds of the Winged Star.

The difference is that when traveling from the spirit world, as long as the spatial coordinates are determined and the ability to open the door is available, you can reach any location in the main world through the spirit world.

Wang Changle now has the [Beacon of the Dead] and the [Body of the Dead] in his hands. Combining the two together, they can be used as a trump card, and naturally they can also be used as a means of escape.

The underworld, also called hell, although it belongs to the spiritual world, is different from the spiritual world.

There is a special area opened up by the ancestor of the phoenix "Grey Carrie" as the Kingdom of God in the spiritual world, and it has special rules.

As for the messengers, most of them are creatures that live in the real world after the physical body dies, just like Nite's Black Thorn Skull.

The Black Thorn Skeleton is a relatively special existence. It is not only a messenger recruited by Ent, but it is also an evil spirit, the product of the death of a high-sequence strong man.

This is also the reason why these creatures will not drop loot with extraordinary characteristics when they die.

"Boom!"

Thinking of the trophies, Wang Changle subconsciously glanced in the direction of the slaughterhouse workshop, his mind moved slightly, and his giant palm of mind fell, instantly smashing the workshop to pieces.

The next moment, the two corpses sealed by shackles were suddenly exposed to the moonlight, and the bloody cross was covered with ritual patterns.

"Tsk tsk, it's still there..."
