Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 347: Chapter 344: Return to the Void Platform

Four days passed quickly.

Busy with various tasks, the day to recruit new lords has finally arrived.

Early in the morning.

A series of notifications sounded in Lin You’s mind.

[Dear Lord, you have been selected by the King as a representative of the Duchy.]

[The subordinate plane teleportation function will soon be activated, allowing you to recruit lords in the subordinate plane.]

[This function will last for five days, during which you can freely travel between your territory and the subordinate plane space.]

[After completing the task, you will receive various resource rewards based on your performance.]

Boom!

After the notification, a beam of light descended from the sky, landing directly in Lin You’s territory, forming a golden arch on the open ground.

The spectacular sight immediately sparked discussions throughout the duchy.

“What’s going on? Why did a light suddenly descend in the southwest?”

“I saw it too. Could it be some treasure appearing?”

“Don’t make a fuss over it. That’s something that appears when the King designates a duchy representative.”

“If we calculate the time, it does seem like it’s time to recruit a batch of new lords.”

“I heard that this time, over a hundred duchies are recruiting together, so the competition is intense.”

“I wonder how many good seedlings will be brought in this time.”

“Haha, everyone get ready to welcome the new rookies.”

The duchy channel is lively and buzzing.

Many lords who have just arrived in the duchy for a few months are sighing with relief that they have finally become seniors.

Others hope that potential lords will descend around their territories to strengthen their forces.

Other duchies are also making preparations for recruitment.

Meanwhile,

on the void platform in the lower realm area.

Due to the joint recruitment, all platforms are merged into one.

The area instantly expanded more than a hundredfold, connecting over a hundred duchies within the western border of the continent.

Although the recruitment hasn’t started yet,

after a few days of resource investment, the newly arrived Tier Six lords are teleporting in endlessly like mushrooms after rain.

Looking around,

all you see are glowing teleportation white lights and bewildered faces.

“Is this… the starting point leading to the Primordial Continent?”

“I heard you have to choose a duchy to join here before you can enter the continent?”

“I’m so nervous. I don’t know which duchy is the best choice.”

“Are those duchy representatives likely to come later?”

“Duchy representatives… I wonder how formidable they will be.”

“Seeing so many big figures at once, I’m a bit nervous.”

The newly teleported lords gather in twos and threes, excited and anxious, looking around.

Their gazes frequently dart towards the more than one hundred golden arches representing various duchies on the platform.

They all have just emerged from their regions, promoted to Tier Six.

Their understanding of the outside world is quite limited.

But this does not hinder their thirst for knowledge and their desire to venture into a broader world.

Each one waits on the platform with eager anticipation.

“They’re coming!”

Suddenly, a shout rang out from the crowd.

The people in discussion felt a tremor in their hearts and quickly looked towards the direction of the arches, which indeed lit up with beams of light.

Then,

a group of duchy representatives appeared on the platform through the teleportation gates.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura that made others feel apprehensive.

“So strong!”

“Are all of them Tier Seven?”

“They’re actually all Tier Seven Lords!”

The new lords kept whispering, their expressions turning to shock.

Yet the next moment, a more shocking event occurred.

Those Tier Seven Lords quickly formed two lines outside the teleportation gate, assuming a posture of welcoming.

Then, figures with terrifying presence appeared, surrounded by those Tier Seven Lords, arriving before the crowd.

Tier Eight!

They were undoubtedly Tier Eight Lords!

Over a hundred Tier Eights!

At this moment,

all the new lords were stunned.

Their eyes widened in disbelief, filled with amazement.

Having struggled from Tier One to reach Tier Six, they couldn’t even imagine the strength of a Tier Eight Lord.

Some arrogant individuals even thought,

given enough time, they too could reach that level, feeling slightly disdainful.

But upon witnessing the high-tier lords in person, they all shut their mouths, no longer daring to boast.

Some were filled with admiration,

imagining that one day they too could become as powerful, standing tall among the heroes.

“Hey, isn’t that Gua the Sixth from the Profound Yin Kingdom? How come you’re the representative this time?”

While the new lords stood frozen in place, the newly arrived Tier Eight Lords exchanged greetings.

Unlike others,

as representatives of various duchies, each Tier Eight Lord was assigned ten Tier Seven Lords to assist them in the recruitment work.

So they appeared quite relaxed.

“Hmph! I didn’t expect to see you here. I haven’t settled the score with you for snatching my treasure last time!”

The Tier Eight Lord known as Gua the Sixth snorted coldly.

Tier Eight Lords were not as numerous as Tier Six Lords.

After staying for a while, you will more or less get to know each other, especially in neighboring duchies.

Sure enough,

Just after teleporting over, the lords began visiting each other.

There was casual chatting, heated arguments, all in all, quite lively, completely ignoring the dignity of high-tier lords.

“I wonder if there’ll be any C-level talents appearing this time.”

One of the Tier Eight Lords said in a low voice.

“There will be C-level talents, but anything above B-level will be difficult, considering our duchy’s resources can’t compare with those of the Kingdoms and Empires.”

“Yes, although evaluation levels can’t determine future developments, at least starting out higher than other talents.”

“Indeed…”

In terms of resources, a duchy naturally can’t compare with a Kingdom or Empire.

The quality of new lords they cultivate will naturally have some disparity.

They can only envy, but are helpless.

“But I’ve heard that the talent recently appearing in the Great Wilderness Duchy started out as F-level.”

At this moment, another Tier Eight Lord continued.

Immediately drawing the attention of other Tier Eight lords over.

“Are you referring to Lin You, who defeated the talented lord of the Ten Great Realms?”

“Who else could it be? This thing has already spread widely recently.”

“Your mention of this reminds me of something; I once asked a friend from Flame River Kingdom, who said that when Lin You was initially evaluated as F-level, none of the duchies wanted him, and he ended up being picked up by the Great Wilderness Duchy.”

“What the heck! Is there such a thing?”

“Oh god, wouldn’t those duchies regret it terribly upon hearing this news?”

“Hahaha, a huge loss. Those responsible for recruitment probably have a tough time coming.”

“No wonder before I left, the King instructed me not to judge entirely based on evaluations; turns out this is the reason.”

“I remember the teleportation gate of the Great Wilderness Duchy should be nearby, right?”

While speaking, these Tier Eight Lords couldn’t help but look into the distance.

A duchy teleportation gate constructed with Five Elements Elemental Stones, the words “Great Wilderness Duchy” shine brightly above the gate.

Outside the gate, those ten Tier Seven Lords are still nervously waiting, not daring to move an inch.

Because they’ve received the news that the duchy representative presiding this time is someone significant.

Feeling both excited and tense.

Finally obtaining the opportunity to approach that great figure closely.

What was thought to be a hard task turned out to be a heaven-sent opportunity, certainly needing a good performance.

While contemplating.

A figure eventually appeared.

In a twist of space, slowly passed through the Great Wilderness Duchy’s teleportation gate, instantly drawing the eyes of surrounding Tier Eight lords.

But the next moment, they were collectively stunned.

Too young!

The one appearing at the teleportation gate was unexpectedly a figure much younger than they imagined, making them show expressions of doubt.

“What’s going on? Why did the Great Wilderness Duchy send such a young lord as a representative this time?”

“No idea, could it be a relative of the King of the Great Wilderness?”

“This is too careless, don’t they know it’s a joint recruitment?”

“That’s not it! I recognize him! He’s Lin You!”

An exclamation interrupted the lords’ discussion.

The lords first froze for a moment, then their eyes widened sharply.

This young person is actually that recent headline-making figure!?

Now, all duchy representatives were shocked, staring in astonishment at Lin You’s slow descent from the teleportation gate stairs, speechless.

Because they had not anticipated.

The Great Wilderness Duchy’s representative this time was actually the formidable presence that even they must avoid.

“Welcome, honored one!”

Lin You appeared, and those ten Tier Seven Lords of the Great Wilderness Duchy immediately shouted loudly, welcoming his arrival.

“Alright, go ahead and prepare for the test.”

Lin You nodded towards them, then looked around, his eyes full of emotion.

Half a year had passed, and he returned here again.

The place he once fought through life and death to reach.

Those young, anxious faces on the platform reminded him of himself when he first arrived.

And now, he stood at this position.

His role has undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

It’s quite poignant.

“Who’s that person? Why does he look not much older than us?”

“Shh! Lower your voice, didn’t you hear those people call him ’honored one’?”

“So he’s a duchy representative? Tier Eight Lord?”

“Did you notice the expressions of other duchy representatives looking at him? That looks like… fear?”

“Seems like it is!”

The new lords whispered beneath, all discreetly eyeing the last-to-arrive Lin You, faces showing shock.

To make other duchy representatives afraid, just how powerful must he be?

It’s simply refreshing their understanding.

Some lords with good talents exchanged glances, nodding to each other, seemingly deciding on which duchy to choose.

Lin You did not mind their gazes.

Upon arriving at the platform, he found a new operational interface before him.

Through this interface, he could issue Territory Transfer Certificates from F-level to SSS-level to specific people.

And there’s a list of available territories to descend into, both selectable and random.

Who to assign what kind of territory completely depends on his mood.

You could say he’s been given very significant power.

“Ladies and gentlemen, time is running short, let’s begin the test.”

At this time, among the duchy representatives, a senior elder stepped out loudly to say.

Finally officially starting the recruitment of new lords.

The platform also began to bustle.
