Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 83 The Magical Pet Gray Rat
Chapter 82

The origin of the spirit world is impossible to verify, but it is certain that all extraordinary sequences originated from the spirit world.

In the real world, material things are primary, while spiritual things are secondary, giving rise to all living beings and species.

The spirit world is primarily spiritual, with matter playing a secondary role; it is both dependent on and transcends reality.

The spirit world is vast, even far larger than the real world.

Even though the World Government is currently the uncrowned king of the spirit world, it still only truly controls less than one percent of the spirit world.

Because the spirit world is so complex, it can be divided into the surface, inner, and deep layers.

Humans can only grasp the surface level, a portion of the inner level, and only a very small portion of the deep level.

The surface of the spirit world is closely related to reality, while the inner layer of the spirit world is closely related to the extraordinary sequence.

Finally, the deeper levels of the spirit world are closely related to history and civilization.

All the destroyed civilizations and the histories buried by time have left their traces in the depths of the spirit world. The depths of the spirit world contain countless precious treasures left by countless forgotten histories of civilizations, as well as countless dangers.

Contract spirits are terrifying beings born from the depths of the spirit world.

The contracted spirit has no intelligence but has life, and its strength is at least at Sequence 0, not inferior to most gods.

Moreover, the contracted spirit is immortal, so no one is willing to provoke it.

There is a theory that contract spirits were born from the concept of contracts.

Therefore, any intelligent life form, as long as it knows the method, can sign a contract through the Contract Spirit God. Any act that violates the contract will be punished by the Contract Spirit God. Basically, without the strength of Sequence 1, it is impossible to escape the consequences of violating the contract.

The wager between the progenitor of the Gray Ratmen and the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow was witnessed by the Contract Spirit God.

Rosen left the Divine Realm and inquired with someone at the Artists' Guild.

The Gray Rat Man progenitor was not lying; the Contract Spirit God truly exists.

However, it is not easy to ask the Contract Spirit to witness the signing of a contract. It requires at least 100,000 units of spiritual crystals to witness the signing of a contract. Therefore, although many people know about the Contract Spirit, very few have signed contracts through it.

Although it was a bit painful, Rosen still signed a contract with the progenitor of the gray ratmen, witnessed by the Contract Spirit God.

Standing within the pre-arranged contract ceremony, Rosen took out 100,000 units of spiritual crystals.

The ritual array was activated instantly, absorbing all the spiritual crystals and generating a blank contract paper out of thin air.

Rosen picked up the contract paper, took out his magic pen, and began to write a contract with himself as the master.

The terms of this contract were extremely harsh: the Gray Rat Ancestor could not detach himself from his status as a pet, could not do anything detrimental to him, could not usurp his position, and could not even disobey any of his orders.

Despite all that they sacrificed, the progenitor of the gray ratmen only had three rights.

Rosen must do his best to help the Gray Ratman progenitor grow, but he also cannot let the Gray Ratman progenitor do anything that would lead to his death. In the end, he must ensure that the Gray Ratman progenitor is given the dignity he deserves and that he is not humiliated.

The moment the contract was signed, both Rosen and the progenitor of the gray ratmen breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further hesitation, Rosen used the divine beast seal condensed by the divine beast pen to begin refining the Gray Ratman Ancestor into his Sequence 8 pet. With the Gray Ratman Ancestor's active cooperation, the pet's transformation process went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

The ability sharing between hunters and pets is not only limited, but also very limited.

At any given time, a hunter can only share attributes with one pet.

Rosen examined the talents and abilities possessed by the Gray Ratman Progenitor Sequence 9. His talent was Rat King, and his abilities included divine avatars, shortsightedness, and burrowing. Each of these abilities made Rosen's heart itch with desire. The Rat King could manipulate the lives of rats and even induce mutations in ordinary rats.

The Gray Rat People are a group that was enlightened by the Gray Rat People's ancestor through the Rat King's talent.

The divine clone is the strongest ability of the Gray Rat Man progenitor, and it is this ability that he has relied on to escape death time and again.

Shortsightedness is a special pupil technique that can distinguish the radiance of different spiritual beings. With this ability, the Gray Ratman Ancestor possessed a strong ability to find treasures. Finally, the ability to burrow underground allowed the Gray Ratman Ancestor to move freely underground.

Because of their strong treasure-hunting abilities and ability to burrow underground, the ancestors of the gray rat people were truly wealthy.

Because of their immense wealth, the original Gray Ratman was targeted and had his true form destroyed by the original Shadow Cat, the Cat God.

Only the divine avatar that guarded the spirit realm remained, barely escaping death and clinging to life.

Although Grand Duke Blazing Shadow won the bet, all he gained was the lifting of the curse against the Duchy of Blazing Shadow by the progenitor of the Gray Ratmen.

This curse can affect demigods; the progenitor of the gray ratmen lost half his life when he set it up.

Now, forcibly lifting the curse will cost me half my life.

Although I lost my life, I didn't lose my wealth.

However, the progenitor of the gray ratmen did not expect to lose, so he did not transfer all his wealth in advance.

Having lost the bet, he wanted to move on, but at this time the Contract Spirit God had already forced the Gray Rat Man Ancestor to fulfill the bet and lift the curse.

In the end, the progenitor of the gray ratmen managed to transfer some resources to his divine avatar during the brief moment when the curse was lifted. The remaining treasures were hidden in the spirit realm, and anyone without the strength of Sequence 6 to search for them would be courting death.

Fearing that things might change if he waited too long, Rosen left the Blazing Shadow City by train that same day.

Two days later, Rosen arrived in Gray Rat City of the Blazing Shadow Principality.

The city is teeming with rats; every household in the city keeps rats as pets.

The specialty of Gray Rat City is rats. Whether they are experimental rats, rats for food, or even medicinal rats that can be used to make medicines, all valuable rats are raised here.

Rats are not exactly cute animals, but the residents of Gray Rat City have gotten used to raising them and can accept it.

However, outsiders find it hard to accept living with rats, so there are almost no outsiders in Gray Rat City. Only some merchants who purchase various kinds of rats will stay in Gray Rat City for a short time.

After Rosen got off the bus in Grayrat City, he was seen almost everywhere he went.

Because his clothes didn't feature any rat elements, his attire clearly indicated he was an unusual outsider.

Rosen had no choice but to enter the alley and enter Shadow Cloak mode before he could silently arrive at the underground of Gray Rat City.

Darkness under the lamp is the easiest place to hide, and many wild rats hide underground in Gray Rat City.

These wild rats, after being modified by the Gray Rat People's ancestor, did not become intelligent Gray Rat People, but they were different from ordinary rats. For many years, they have been helping the Gray Rat People's ancestor search for the resources he needs in reality.

Rosen followed the sewers deep into a natural underground river, arriving at a hidden cave with the ancestor of the gray rat people.

He took out a thousand units of spiritual crystals, shattered them, and let the spiritual energy permeate the cave.

The hidden spiritual node here absorbed the spiritual energy within the cave and automatically opened a spatial vortex.

Rosen walked toward the vortex, and the world spun around him as he was transported into the Spirit Realm.
