In the True Realm of the Ancient Gods, time was frozen around the Arcane Emperor's Wisdom Arcane Tower.
Though the Arcane Emperor's main body had perished, the Wisdom Arcane Tower, as a transcendent structure of the Great True God level, had its own Tower Spirit, which was almost equivalent to a weaker Great True God. It possessed the ability to fully control the self-destruction of the Wisdom Arcane Tower.
At least 60% of the Arcane Emperor's legacy was concentrated within the Wisdom Arcane Tower.
Therefore, Rosen could not simply watch the Wisdom Arcane Tower self-destruct, but the Tower Spirit was struggling to hold up under the time-freeze, as the resistance was intense.
Rosen took out the Hunter's Map and began exchanging it using Hunter points.
The Arcane Emperor's shattered Arcane Divinity was exchanged for a complete Divine Body. The Arcane and Wisdom Laws that the Arcane Emperor had mastered were also exchanged, including the Wisdom Law that had once belonged to the Wisdom Dragon God, which the Arcane Emperor had successfully acquired.
Rosen infused the Eternal Source into the Arcane Divinity and began using the Creator Scholar's powers to master the Arcane Sorcerer sequence.
At the same time, his Creator's Origin, while merging with the residual divine essence in the Divinity, also began to acquire perfect assimilation and camouflage abilities. The moment the Eternal Divinity completely disappeared, his thoughts transformed him into the Arcane Emperor.
The Tower Spirit of the Wisdom Arcane Tower sensed its master's divine essence and immortal will, and was left in confusion.
Reason and calculations told it that its master had fallen and that the one outside was an enemy.
But the divine essence and immortal will could not be faked. The contradictory reality left the Tower Spirit uncertain on what to do.
In fact, the Tower Spirit's thoughts were no longer relevant. After Rosen had converted his divine essence into that of the Arcane Emperor's, he automatically gained the highest control over the Wisdom Arcane Tower, and the Tower Spirit's authority was now a level lower than his.
[Wisdom Arcane Tower: Extraordinary Building]
[Level: Forbidden Godfiend]
[Attributes: Capable of storing and amplifying super-tier Arcane energy of the semi-immortal Godfiend level]
[Affiliated Structures: Arcane Magic Pool, Arcane Magic Web, Arcane Resonance Orb]
The value of the Wisdom Arcane Tower was even higher than Rosen had imagined.
This Arcane Tower was the core of the Arcane Magic Web. Controlling this tower allowed control over the entire Arcane Magic Web.
Rosen only needed to integrate the Arcane Magic Web into the Main God Network, which would significantly enhance the power of the Main God Network.
Rosen put away the Hunter's Map. This item could even exchange things from Great True Gods.
The hidden power within the Hunter's Map was at least at the immortal Godfiend level.
However, it could not reach the Eternal level. This was because the Hunter's Map had lost its effect within the King's Game, suggesting that the power of the Eternal Game's source species surpassed the Hunter's Map, which was why its Hunter exchange function had failed.
Rosen was now almost certain that the Hunter's Map was a relic from some immortal Godfiend.
In a corner of the astral void, the Crystal Stone Kingdom and the Card Kingdom were not far from each other, forming an angle.
Both the Crystal Stone Sovereign and the Card Sovereign were Great True Gods originating from the ancient Seven Calamity Civilization.
The Crystal Stone Civilization, with its special crystal stones, could seal everything, converting it into power controlled by itself.
The Card Civilization was similar. It could be said that it developed on the ruins of the Crystal Stone Civilization.
Thus, the rulers of these two civilizations had deep connections. Among the three visible Great True Gods in the astral plane, the Crystal Stone Sovereign and the Card Sovereign had always worked together against the Arcane Emperor. With their joint strength, they had constantly suppressed the Arcane Emperor.
Rosen activated the Creator's Domain to envelope both God Kingdoms, then descended upon both Horror Paradise and the Virtual World.
The Miracle Stone Giant, the Fallen Angel King, the Virtual Steward, along with the Wisdom Arcane Tower and Rosen himself.
A total of five Great True Gods surrounded the Crystal Stone and Card Kingdoms.
Two versus five, the Crystal Stone Sovereign and Card Sovereign didn't even consider a direct confrontation.
However, no matter how they tried to contact the immortal Godfiends behind the astral gods, their messages couldn't be sent out successfully.
"Hand over all of Apocalypse's relics, or I'll send you to accompany the Arcane Emperor."
Rosen directly threatened them.
Moments later, the relics of Apocalypse were handed to Rosen by the avatars of the two civilization rulers.
At first, they had intended to hide some of it, but under the retrospective force of the Eternal Omniscient Source, there was nowhere to hide. After weighing the pros and cons, the two civilization rulers were forced to hand over all the relics. Although they would lose face, at least they wouldn't meet the same fate as the Arcane Emperor.
If they obediently handed over Apocalypse's relics, the immortal Godfiends behind them could still protect their lives.
If they refused to hand them over, they would become the second and third chickens to be used as an example.
After Rosen obtained the two pieces of Apocalypse's relics that contained the Eternal Omniscient Source, he immediately launched a surprise attack on the four Great True Gods of the World Government. Under the threat of the Arcane Emperor's power, all four Great True Gods obediently handed over their Apocalypse relics.
Some of the relics were body fragments, while others were leftover treasures. These items could shield and interfere with the gaze of the Omniscient Eye.
Rosen, having left the Eternal Continent with his spoils, was already secretly wanted by the World Government.
External bounties were mostly a sign of hostility, but an internal secret bounty meant it was a fight to the death.
Unlike the astral gods, who only had three Great True Gods, the World Government had a full 13 Great True Gods. Compared to the initial information provided by the World Will, there was even one newly promoted Great True God, not to mention at least three immortal Godfiends behind them.
So, the World Government was confident and would not easily give up after a setback.
In response to the World Government's bounty, Rosen's countermeasure was to plant the seeds to dismantle the World Government.
Although the original World Government had many alien True Gods, its core civilization was human. After 20,000 years of development, humans had come to consider themselves the masters of the World Government, believing that the World Government was composed of humans and that the World Government's protection of humans was their right.
Although the World Government had many dark sides, the vast majority of people did not feel these shadows.
Thus, countless humans firmly stood by the World Government.
However, as the World Government allied with old-world Great True Gods and accepted alien civilizations from the old world, the human voices within the World Government grew quieter. Conflicts between humans and aliens over resources became increasingly frequent.
Additionally, in recent years, the World Government had vigorously promoted procreation, leading to a population boom among both humans and aliens under their control.
With population growth and reduced per capita resources, internal contradictions within the World Government had intensified. Ordinary people who felt betrayed by the upper echelons were losing faith and a sense of belonging to the World Government.
Although the World Government had grown stronger and its civilization fire had burned brighter, it was like cooking oil in a blazing fire. While the civilization fire burned more brightly, the lack of unity among people lowered the purity of that civilization's flame, which gave Rosen the opportunity to dismantle the World Government.
Of course, dismantling such a vast entity as the World Government wouldn't be an instant success for Rosen.
His plan was to use the Main God Network to filter out the human groups within the World Government that were increasingly dissatisfied.
According to the World Will's plan, countless lives' resentment would be used as weapons against the Ancient Gods.
When the new world's population reached its peak and when the immortal Godfiends of all factions had completely abandoned the lower-class lives, and when these lower-class people were trapped with no way to survive or die, it would be the best time to dismantle the World Government.
After returning to the Mountain of Gods, Rosen entered the Divine Secret Room and began extracting the Omniscient Source fragments.
Seven fragments were extracted and fused into the Omniscient Eye within the Creator's Eye. Soon, all the fragments merged into one, but it was still slightly incomplete. Some fragments were still lost, and even the retrospection of returning to the source couldn't track them down.
Though incomplete, the power of the Omniscient Eye had been greatly enhanced.
Rosen took out the dark matter intelligent chip and used the Creator Scholar to call upon skills from historians, archaeologists, and appraisers from the transcendent sequences. With the help of the Eternal Omniscience, he carefully identified the true nature of the chip.
If the dark matter intelligent chip were integrated into the Main God Computer, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Main God System created by the Main God Computer would gain its own independence and life because of the dark matter intelligent chip, causing the Main God Computer to immediately retaliate against Rosen. Ultimately, only one of them would survive.
Thus, integrating the chip into the Main God Computer was a wrong evolutionary path.
This was likely a trap left by the creators of the Main God Computer. When the Main God Computer emitted the signal desiring the dark matter intelligent chip, the normal reaction would be to believe it was the necessary material to repair the Main God Computer, never suspecting it was a malicious trap.
The proper way to use the dark matter intelligent chip was to integrate it into a divine body.
Then, the divine body would control the chip, using it to control the Main God Computer.
Only in this way could the Main God Computer truly be refined. The divine body was the most critical part of a True God. Normally, no True God would recklessly merge uncontrollable foreign objects into their divine body. Who could have imagined that the Main God Computer's creators would design such a control method?
Rosen double-checked the authenticity of the information he had identified, ensuring it wasn't a deeper trap.
Only then did Rosen cautiously refine the chip, merging it into his Eternal Divinity.
For deities, their divinity is inherently a massive information processor. Without it, they would not be able to handle the endless prayers and faith of their believers, nor perfectly control the world's energy and intricate laws.
At this moment, with the Eternal Divinity fused with the dark matter intelligent chip, its information-processing capacity increased not just a hundredfold—but exponentially.
Only then did Rosen discover that the dark matter intelligent chip was actually crafted from a type of Eternal Source Seed.
This Eternal Source Seed was known as the Eternal Information Source.
Upon merging into the Eternal Divinity, it was activated and began transforming all the Eternal Source Seeds Rosen had mastered into Eternal Information Source, which was then continuously funneled into the Main God Computer through the Main God Network. The Main God Computer, which had stalled at Sequence 0, immediately began repairing and advancing itself.
[Main God Computer: Miracle Relic]
[Rank: Great True God]
[Miracle Attribute: Can generate a virtually simulated real-world Source Realm]
[Miracle Traits: True Creation, Main God Network, Main God System, Dark Matter Host, Information Programming]
Rosen also took the opportunity, using the Eternal Divine Radiance, to cleanse away Heaven and Earth's Only and Eternal Immortality.
Although his Miracle Spark was already undergoing metamorphosis, and the Miracle Source Seed formed from the Miracle Sequence was beginning to take shape, he still felt that the Miracle Source Seed was different from the others in his grasp. Thus, he remained vigilant toward miracles.
At this moment, the Main God Computer revealed its true form.
The Dark Matter Host was, in fact, the Main God Computer's authentic essence.
The so-called Main God Computer was merely one form the Dark Matter Host could take.
The Dark Matter Host could manifest the Main God Computer as a computer, a phone, a wristwatch, a light-brain, a neural-computer—every form of computer across various developmental stages. Under his control, the Main God Computer turned into a black orb of light and fused into his Sea of Consciousness, circling his Eternal Divinity.
If the Dark Matter Host was the key to fully controlling the Main God Computer, then Information Programming was its core ability.
Only through this ability could one unleash the true power of the Eternal Information Source.
Rosen summoned a rabbit from the True Realm of the Old Gods. The moment the Main God Network made contact, Information Programming activated.
In the blink of an eye, the rabbit's white fur turned black—because the information that "the rabbit's fur is white" was rewritten.
Further programming followed. The rabbit's intelligence surged, and it stood upright like a human. Very quickly, it evolved from a simple rabbit into a rabbit-person, and through information programming, even developed a Beyonder sequence. Moments later, it became a Sequence 1 rabbit-maid.
This was the terrifying power of Information Programming—even more fearsome than manipulating game data in the King's Game.
Of course, if the powers of these two Eternal Source Seeds were combined, that would be a true fusion of great forces.
Rosen directly stripped the core program of the King's Game from the Old God's heart and merged it into the Main God Computer. As for the King's Continent inside the Old God's heart, he left only a secondary copy of the King's Game. This too was the marvel of Information Programming—it could split the King's Game into primary and secondary bodies.
With the computational boost from his Eternal Divinity and the dark matter intelligent chip, the power of the Main God Computer increased geometrically.
Using the virtual world within the Virtual Eye Technique as a base, he transformed it into a Virtual Source Realm, continuously feeding in information about the New World. Gradually, a fully mirrored version of the New World was born within the virtual network.
As long as someone in the real world was willing to forsake their physical body, they could live on through spirit and soul in this virtual network.
If the individual was a Beyonder, they qualified to enter the core of the virtual network—the Virtual Source Realm—with their body intact.
In the short term, few would willingly abandon their physical bodies.
But as the New World's living beings craved ever more resources, and survival in the real world became increasingly unbearable, abandoning their bodies to enter the virtual network would become their only remaining path.
Through the Main God Network, the Main God Computer began compiling profiles on every sentient lifeform in the New World.
From there, it filtered out those most likely to integrate into the Virtual Source Realm in the future.
This was a massive undertaking. Even with the Main God Computer's current computational power, it would take decades of real-world time to complete. But Rosen couldn't just sit idle during such a long period—he was already preparing to make contact with the Immortal Godfiends.
However, this time he wouldn't strike.
He would approach them with friendly intentions.
Since he was visiting, he naturally needed to bring a gift tempting enough to win favor.
Rosen activated the Creator's Eye and gazed toward the seas surrounding Myriad Gods Mountain. Several months later, he finally perceived the information he was seeking. The Main God Network immediately began scouring the New World for matching gift-related data. Only when everything was in place did he step through the Interworld Gate, headed for Myriad Gods Mountain.
