Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 227: Chapter 225: The Second Divine Fragment

“Kid, does anyone else know about the Divine Fragment on you?”

With no one around, the Saint Radiance Emperor spoke directly.

Lin You’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; indeed, his matter with the Divine Fragment couldn’t escape the Emperor’s eyes.

Though the Emperor Level might not value a Tier Ten Divine Fragment, he was still somewhat nervous.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Only Ji Yunshuang knows a bit, but she doesn’t know it’s a Divine Fragment.”

“That’s good.”

The Saint Radiance Emperor nodded silently, then his expression turned serious.

“Remember, you absolutely must not let anyone else know about the Divine Fragment, or it will bring disaster upon you.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Lin You responded immediately.

The logic of ’a man’s wealth is his own ruin’ was something he understood.

“Good that you understand.”

Upon hearing his answer, the Saint Radiance Emperor smiled with satisfaction.

“This time, you’ve really done a great deed for the Primordial Continent, really making me look good. Do you know the news you brought back saved at least one Great Emperor’s loss?”

“So does the Emperor want to reward me?”

Lin You’s eyes lit up, filled with anticipation as he looked at the Saint Radiance Emperor.

“You truly don’t hold back at all. Is there anyone else who asks for rewards so directly?”

The Saint Radiance Emperor glared at him fiercely, but still had a smile on his face.

After all, Lin You had indeed accomplished a significant feat this time, one concerning the entire Primordial Realm’s destiny.

Adding the previous incident of uncovering the Primordial Evil Realm’s insider, the Saint Radiance Emperor suddenly realized that this kid in his subordinate Duchy was truly a godsend for him.

Moreover, the kid’s potential greatly surprised him.

He even vaguely saw a reflection of his own younger self.

As long as he nurtured him well, there might even emerge an Tier Eleven below him.

Possibly, there might be a chance for him to become an Emperor?

Two emperors in one nation, if such a thing happened, it would surely be a momentous occasion, and his face would shine brightly.

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said, “You’ve accomplished a great feat this time, bringing honor to our Holy Radiance Empire. Of course there will be a reward, and this time, I plan to give you a grand gift!”

As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, locking all space around them, preventing anyone outside from seeing or hearing.

“A grand gift? What is it?”

Lin You swallowed and was filled with anticipation.

Yet, before he could think more, he saw the Saint Radiance Emperor extend his hand, revealing an irregular crystal that glimmered with golden light, its shape constantly changing, illuminating the entire space they were in.

“This is! A Divine Fragment!”

Lin You’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock.

He had imagined that the Saint Radiance Emperor would give him Rare Species or something like powerful treasures.

Yet he never expected that the Saint Radiance Emperor would produce a Divine Fragment!

In an instant, Lin You’s breathing became rapid, his eyes eagerly fixed on the Divine Fragment, almost snatching it over.

“How is it? Are you satisfied with this reward?”

Seeing Lin You’s reaction, the Saint Radiance Emperor’s smile deepened.

“This… is it really for me?”

Lin You looked at the Divine Fragment, then at the Saint Radiance Emperor, somewhat disbelieving.

“Yes, it’s for you.” The Saint Radiance Emperor nodded, “You’ve already fused one Divine Fragment. The power within the Divine fragment will help you fuse the second one, and by then your power will greatly increase. Consider it a reward for risking your life to bring back the news.”

“Thank you, Emperor!”

Lin You dared not hesitate and quickly grabbed the Divine Fragment, feeling its soft touch which made him excited. He then carefully stored it away in his personal space, not absorbing it immediately.

The Saint Radiance Emperor was very satisfied with his calm reaction.

Continuing, he said, “About Yunshuang, I’ll find her separately later on. Since I’m rewarding you, let me help you a bit more.”

As he said this, he waved his hand again.

A magical rule power enveloped Lin You.

[Congratulations, Lord, you have received the Great Emperor’s blessing, gaining the state: Stealth]

[Stealth: Conceals the body’s rule aura, making it undetectable below Tier Twelve.]

Concealing rule aura!

Listening to the voice echo in his mind, Lin You was indescribably happy.

Unexpectedly, in the Saint Radiance Emperor’s simple movement, he resolved a major issue for him.

Now, as long as he refrained from using Power of Rule publicly, no one would discover he had a Divine Fragment, nor would he have to worry about being targeted by High-tier Lords.

This round of calamity had truly turned into a blessing for him.

“Alright, I should go discuss matters with the Great Emperors, you should head back first.”

The Saint Radiance Emperor didn’t give Lin You much time to react.

Only gave him a deep look, then dispelled the space lock, disappearing on the spot.

Lin You took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, before he finally turned and headed in the direction Ji Yunshuang had left.

Soon, he arrived at a rather intact chapel by the street.

Upon entering, he saw Ji Yunshuang sitting beside a bed, her face stained with tears, looking like she had been crying.

On the bed lay Ji Xinghe, gravely injured and unconscious.

Surrounding him were Ji Xinghe’s crowd of followers.

They clearly recognized Lin You, and upon his entrance, did not stop him.

“How is it? Is the King’s injury severe?”

Lin You stepped forward and softly asked.

Ji Yunshuang lifted her head to look at him, her face full of exhaustion.

“Other Kings who came for healing said that my father’s divine format is damaged, and it requires the power of faith to repair before he can wake up.”

“I see…”

Lin You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen; if it’s just damage to the divine format, the Saint Radiance Emperor should have a way to repair it.

After all, no matter what, it’s still Tier Ten combat strength; the Saint Radiance Emperor definitely wouldn’t ignore it.

Thinking of this, he said, “Why don’t we go back first? It might get unsafe here soon.”

“Alright.”

Ji Yunshuang nodded.

She returned with Lin You, naturally anticipating what might happen next; staying here would only get more dangerous.

Sure enough.

Just as she stood up, a notification suddenly sounded in the minds of all the Lords of the Primordial Realm.

“Attention Lords, the Continental War Order has ended.”

“The Cross-border Teleportation Array will close in two hours; please evacuate the battlefield immediately.”

…

“Attention Lords, the Continental War Order has ended.”

“The Cross-border Teleportation Array will close in two hours; please evacuate the battlefield immediately.”

…

The system notification echoed twice, constantly ringing in the minds of the Lords.

Whether in battle, resting, or attacking the nearby territories of the Primordial Evil Realm, everyone stopped.

“After so many days of fighting, is it finally ending?”

“That was too fast! I haven’t collected enough points yet!”

“Haha, over the past four days, I’ve gathered over one hundred thousand points; I can finally return and exchange them for building plans.”

“Go, go, go, retreat! The Teleportation Array will close in two hours!”

“Forget the Teleportation Array, with all these points earned this time, I’m teleporting back directly with a teleportation crystal.”

“Fine, let’s spare the brats of the Primordial Evil Realm this time, haha.”

The Lords of the Primordial Realm shouted while retreating from various regions around the main city.

Some took out teleportation crystals, disappearing in flashes of white light to return.

And so.

A nearly four-day and three-night cross-realm battle.

Finally came to an end here.

Upon receiving the notification, Lin You and the others quickly returned to the main city with the unconscious Ji Xinghe to bid farewell at the teleportation plaza.

“Lin You, during this time, I have to stay in the Royal Capital to take care of my father, so I can’t act with you anymore.”

In front of the Angel Statue on the plaza, Ji Yunshuang, looking exhausted, glanced apologetically at Lin You.

“It’s okay, your father’s injuries are serious; let me know once he wakes up.” Lin You spoke softly.

“Alright, then we’ll leave first.”

Perhaps due to her low mood, Ji Yunshuang didn’t say much more.

After bidding farewell, she and her team vanished from the plaza in a flash, teleporting away directly.

Staring at the empty ground ahead, Lin You took a deep breath, planning to quickly teleport back to absorb the newly acquired divine fragment.

“Lin You, wait a moment!”

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly called from afar.

It was the Third Prince Qin Li, who had been waiting, rushing towards him with his team.

“Third Prince? What do you need from me?” Lin You looked at Qin Li with curiosity.

“Oh, nothing, just came to thank you.” Qin Li approached Lin You, his face radiant, seemingly in an excellent mood.

“Thank me?” Lin You was even more puzzled.

“Yes, thanks to you for passing such important information to me earlier, allowing me to present such a good opportunity before my father; his view of me will surely change significantly now.”

“I see.” Lin You suddenly understood, “But aren’t the emperors currently discussing how to deal with the people from the Primordial Evil Realm and True Spirit Realm? They shouldn’t be concerned with this, right?”

“No, that’s where you’re wrong; the Primordial Evil Realm and True Spirit Realm probably won’t take action this time.”

“Won’t take action? Why?” Lin You asked, surprised.

He thought the emperors would have a massive clash, tearing the heavens apart, which was why he was eager to return and take shelter.

Yet Qin Li told him none of that would happen?

Seeing his confusion, Qin Li smiled, “The reason is simple; their plans are exposed. There’s no way they can damage our Primordial Realm emperors in the short term; as time drags on, the True Spirit Realm people have to consider their realm’s safety.”

“You mean… there are other realms eyeing the True Spirit Realm?”

Lin You, quick-witted, immediately realized the crux of the matter.

“Exactly, the True Spirit Realm is neighbored by other continents. If their emperors are held up by us, other realm emperors will definitely seize the opportunity, so they dare not act rashly.”

“I see.”

Lin You finally understood.

He hadn’t expected the realms to have such mutual restraints; no wonder the Primordial Evil Realm and True Spirit Realm hadn’t taken action against them.

Breaking this balance wouldn’t be easy, allowing him a sense of relief.

After chatting briefly with Qin Li, he hurriedly bid farewell and teleported back to his territory.
