Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

“It’s the Saint Radiance Emperor, the Saint Radiance Emperor has appeared!”

“Gather at the Imperial Capital tomorrow morning? Has something happened?”

“Could it be related to the Demon Plane?”

“Is it finally starting?”

The lords of the Empire and the Ten Great Dukedoms were in heated discussion, with the news of a thousand Magic Energy flowing incessantly in the Empire channel.

Lin You, having just returned to his territory, was also keeping a close eye on the channel’s movements.

Since the Saint Radiance Emperor personally came forward to release the news, it indicated that his injuries were no longer a concern, allowing Lin You to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the Saint Radiance Emperor had saved him several times and was vital to the continent’s fate. If something were to happen, it would certainly cause chaos.

That was something he didn’t want to see.

“Tomorrow morning, huh?”

Lin You murmured softly, his expression growing more grave.

Clearly, something significant was likely to happen tomorrow, and he had to prepare quickly.

Thinking this, he quickly walked to the World Tree and opened the recruitment interface.

Thanks to the beast tide he encountered today, he now had a surplus of 30 million Magic Energy, which was more than enough to fill the remaining dozens of species positions.

After some thought, he directly recruited 30 Calamity Sword Bamboo, then used the Demon Emperor Dragon to mutate 30 Profound Turtle Wood Shields, equipping them all on the Ancient Tree Species.

The Tier Eight Equipment Species, due to their attributes, only provided half the bonus to Tier Nine Species.

That is, the 20% penetration and armor-piercing of Calamity Sword Bamboo was reduced to 10%, and the 20% damage reduction of Wood Shield Profound Turtle was reduced to 10%.

But regardless, it was considered a significant boost, better than having none.

As for the remaining dozen or so species positions, they were all reserved for recruiting Plant Type Species, continuously producing seeds to ensure the territory’s development wasn’t left behind.

This was one of Lin You’s advantages.

Other Plant Lords typically wouldn’t waste resources on purchasing Plant Type Species with little combat power.

But he had no such worries because he now had over twenty types of Plant Type Species, and the fortified grain they produced was one of Yellow Sand City’s main economic sources.

After finishing these tasks, Lin You thought for a moment and immediately summoned one of the Demon Emperor Dragons.

The research on advancing the species of the Demon Emperor Dragon would take another month to complete.

During this period, his flying mounts were only Tier Eight, which would be a disadvantage in battle.

So after pondering for a moment, he took out his last Upgrade Scroll.

[Would you like to use the “Species Upgrade Scroll (Rare)” on the Demon Emperor Dragon?]

“Use it.”

As soon as the words fell, the scroll in Lin You’s hand transformed into a stream of light that enveloped the vast body of the Demon Emperor Dragon, making it grow rapidly.

Before long.

The Demon Emperor Dragon’s size increased significantly, becoming even more imposing and majestic.

The energy core on its chest flowed with a faint green light, and the branches and leaves on its wings were tinged with a light golden hue.

[Name: Demon Ancestor Dragon (Rare)]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Nine (0/10000)]

[Power: 4500 (+5000)]

[Constitution: 4050 (+5000)]

[Agility: 4300 (+4000)]

[Spirit: 3800 (+4000)]

[Skills: Rapid Shadow (Speed increased by 50%, lasts for 10 seconds.), Super Regeneration (Recovers 5% Constitution per second when damaged.), Dragon Mighty (Increases power by 5% and reduces all enemy attributes by 5%, non-stackable.)]

[Introduction: A Plant Type Species of immense power, it once served as a loyal guardian of the World Tree alongside the Demon Kindness Dragon.]

After leveling up to Tier Nine, the Demon Emperor Dragon became the Demon Ancestor Dragon.

The attributes were essentially the highest among all Plant Type Rare Species.

The symbiotic moss on its body, Lin You had it replicate the attributes of Cyan Gang, enhancing power and constitution.

As for speed, the Rapid Shadow skill was temporarily sufficient.

Moreover, the plant dragon branch itself had the “Wind Spirit” Secret Treasure bonus, enhancing speed by 4% and extending skill duration by 4 seconds, which was more than enough for traveling and escaping.

After completing these preparations, night had fully descended.

Lin You glanced at the Empire channel for a while before retreating to his treehouse to rest.

…

Early the next morning.

As the day just broke, Lin You was awakened by a notification.

[Dear Lord, the Saint Radiance Emperor (Holy Radiance Empire) has initiated a collective teleportation. Would you like to teleport?]

So soon?

Startled, Lin You immediately woke up.

The Duchy and Empire channels were also extremely lively.

“Collective teleportation, what an impressive technique!”

“Brothers, I’m heading over first, see you in a bit.”

“So excited, I wonder what will happen.”

“Whatever happens, as long as there’s something to do. I’ve been stuck in the territory these days and nearly died of boredom.”

“Indeed, I’m so bored my head’s about to sprout grass.”

“Stop so much jabbering, let’s go!”

Due to the blockade of the Demon Plane and the border battlefield, the lords had nowhere to go during this time, utterly bored to the point of explosion.

Now, hearing something big was happening, they couldn’t sit still, all initiating teleportation.

After watching the messages for a while, Lin You quickly got up and dressed.

He called Xue Changgui and the rest for simple instructions and then headed to the Tree of Life, choosing to teleport directly.

Shush!

As the light flashed, he disappeared from where he was.

Once his feet touched solid ground again, a cacophony of discussions and exchanges came to his ears, like entering a marketplace.

Lin You opened his eyes, and before him was an endless plain, accompanied by a constantly flashing white light.

Many lords, like him, were teleported from their territories and were curiously observing their surroundings.

Not far away, a towering city wall soared into the clouds, stretching for thousands of miles.

Bigger than any city they had ever seen.

Needless to say.

This should be the Imperial Capital of the Holy Radiance Empire.

And they were currently on the vast plain outside the Imperial Capital.

“So many people! Have all the lords from across the Empire been teleported here?”

Exclamations of surprise came from other lords nearby.

“Looking at the numbers, it seems so.”

“Gathering so many people all at once, it seems something major has happened.”

“I’m so excited, we’re finally going to meet the Saint Radiance Emperor.”

“Same here, I’ve been here for so long and still haven’t seen the Emperor.”

“Quick, look at the sky! Someone’s coming!”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted their discussions.

The lords who had just been teleported all looked skyward.

Below the teleportation array that covered the entire plain, eleven figures appeared out of thin air, standing in mid-air.

Immediately after, an overwhelming terrorizing pressure spread out, instantly enveloping the whole plain.

It was none other than the Saint Radiance Emperor and ten Duke Kings!

Such an enormous presence, the lords had never seen before?

It instantly stirred a wave of astonishment and exclamations.

Some were even flushed with excitement, unable to believe that they were witnessing the true appearance of the Emperor.

Even Lin You saw the Duke Kings from other duchies for the first time.

“Silence.”

In the sky, the Saint Radiance Emperor slowly raised his hand with a smile on his face.

“Aren’t you bored from staying at home for so long?”

As he spoke, he glanced around the crowd, his smile growing stronger.

“There’s only one thing I want to tell you today, and I think you’ve probably guessed it.”

“That’s right! I am taking you to attack other realms!”

“And it’s happening alongside other realms!”

The voice of the Saint Radiance Emperor was incredibly loud, instantly spreading across the entire plain.

All the lords were momentarily stunned, then their expressions suddenly changed.

Attacking other realms?

It was actually for this?

Astonished, the previously quiet plain immediately became agitated, even causing an uproar.

Before they could think any further, one of the Duke Kings stepped forward at the Emperor’s signal and loudly said:

“You didn’t hear wrong, it’s to attack other realms.”

“Due to recent changes, almost one-third of the realms have joined the Realm Alliance, attempting to destroy the other realms.”

“So, we’ve united with various realms, sealed all planar passages, and opened ten realm battlefields to prepare for an attack on the Realm Alliance.”

“As for the details, you will find out once you reach the battlefield.”

This Duke King clearly had a rather cold disposition. After delivering the news, he retreated behind the Saint Radiance Emperor.

But his words caused a massive stir among all the lords.

One-third of the realms joined the Realm Alliance?

Attempting to destroy other realms??

The lords were completely shocked, never imagining that so much could happen in a matter of days.

No wonder all planar passages were sealed. It turned out to be to prevent the Realm Alliance’s invasion.

But this left them even more confused.

How could the Realm Alliance, in such a short time, grow to such a terrifying scale?

And even reach the point where other realms had to unite against them.

To the extent of opening ten realm battlefields; it clearly looked like preparations for a prolonged war!

Even Lin You, who knew some insider information, was shocked.

The scale of the Realm Alliance was much larger than he had imagined, occupying a third of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Evidently, they had been developing their forces in the shadows, even avoiding the detection of other emperors.

But what concerned him the most was the “change” mentioned by that Duke King.

For the Realm Alliance to grow strong enough to challenge other realms, there was only one possibility.

That the seal in the Nightmare Forest had been broken!

Only this possibility could explain why the emperors were heavily injured, even closing the entrance to the Demon Plane.

It seemed that the opening of realm battlefields was because the emperors couldn’t eliminate the terrifying entity within the seal, thus forced into a last resort.

In other words.

With such powerful forces joining the Realm Alliance, they finally had the capital to contend with all the realms!

How powerful must they be to achieve this?

Lin You dared not imagine and couldn’t imagine.

But the good news was, since the realm war had already begun, it indicated that the balance hadn’t been completely broken yet, leaving room for maneuver.

And the emergence of war meant a flood of resources.

It was an excellent opportunity to profit from the war and accelerate the speed of strength enhancement!

“Alright, prepare yourselves. Soon you’ll be teleported to the realm battlefield.”

At this moment, the voice of the Saint Radiance Emperor sounded again.

“When you arrive, someone will explain everything in detail and bind you to the newly established teleportation array so you can return to your territory at will.”

“Remember, you must not disgrace our Primordial Realm, nor should you disgrace my Holy Radiance Empire!”
