Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 664: Chapter 658: Bai Shangting’s Resolve

”Bang!”

In a burst of sparks, the last Elite Level harpy was shot through the heart by the cannon’s bullet, shrieking as it plummeted from the sky.

[Killed a Tier Eleven Elite Level Demon, automatically absorbing soul power.]

”Alright, everyone take a moment to recover.”

Seeing the harpies and the surrounding low-tier demons cleared out, Lin You spoke to the plants.

He then rode the Jade Green Dragon down to the ground to check the loot.

Luck is on his side.

The ten harpies dropped two Tier Twelve Law Crystal Stones for him.

It wasn’t much, but it was higher than he had expected.

Most importantly, after killing demons of the same level, he could clearly feel the enhancement in soul power, seemingly on the verge of advancing to a Level 2 Quasi-God soon.

Calming his mind, he glanced at the World Tree in the Origin Universe and found that the number of Faith Fruits had increased again, directly exceeding 10,000.

However, what astonished Lin You the most was the Divine Format.

Besides the unchanging five-day cycle for producing a Divine Fragment, there was unexpectedly a complete Tier Eleven Divine Format of a random race, although it had a much slower growth cycle than the Divine Fragment, estimated to take about fifty days to fully form.

Of course.

These items were not of significant use to him now.

Instead, they could be used to reward tasks on the continent, accelerating people’s growth rate.

As the overall power of the continent improved, his soul power should improve accordingly, allowing for faster upgrades.

Without hesitation, through thought control of the rules within the Origin Universe, he placed the harvested Faith Fruits and Divine Fragments into various adventures and system tasks as rewards.

Then he withdrew from the Origin Universe without further interference to the people on the continent.

”Master, all Tier Ten and Tier Eleven Law Crystal Stones have been retrieved.”

At this moment, Shadowless, who led the Cactus Legion to handle the corpses, returned with Law Crystal Stones dropped by the defeated low-tier demons.

Lin You took the crystals and counted; in total, he obtained over a hundred Tier Ten and twenty Tier Eleven, causing him to furrow his brows tightly.

This drop rate is just too low.

The demons he slaughtered along the way were numerous; even if they didn’t number fully thirty thousand, there were at least twenty thousand.

Out of so many demons, only a hundred or so Law Crystal Stones were dropped, truly stingy to death.

It seems collecting more from boss-level demons is necessary.

Lin You murmured to himself as his gaze unwittingly moved deeper into the more intensely bloody aura.

He could feel that his current location was very near the stronghold of the Demon Horde.

If he ventured further, he might encounter more Elite Demons and even Boss Level threats, so it was wiser to be cautious.

During the recent battle with the ten harpies, he lost several legendary species; though the royal family wasn’t seriously harmed, they still suffered some injuries.

If it weren’t for the healing species, the losses could have been even greater.

Such is the power of Tier Twelve Elite Demons.

”Let’s move on and check other places.”

Once all species had finished recovering, Lin You finally stood up.

He rode the Hidden Dragon into the sky, exploring around this area, specifically hunting for Tier Twelve Demons while slaying low-tier demons along the way.

It was not until the afternoon, after collecting fifty Tier Twelve Law Crystal Stones, that he inadvertently reached deeper territory.

”What is that!”

Suddenly, as Lin You was in flight, his speed suddenly dropped, gazing at the line of tall buildings gradually appearing at the edge of his field of vision.

A series of primitive buildings made of stone and spiky wooden thorns.

It turned out to be a large defensive outpost constructed by demons!

Moreover,

the outpost was swarmed with a large number of intimidating demons.

Just like human soldiers, they roamed and patrolled back and forth around the outpost, covering almost the entire sky and ground.

Even in the mountains and caves along the periphery, various large-scale Demon Nests were nestled.

Nearly every area had one or multiple races entrenched, extending endlessly.

And this was just the scouting outpost at the very outskirts!

When Bai Shangting previously mentioned the demons’ collective actions to form armies, Lin You was a bit skeptical.

After all, demons’ ferocity was well known, and they weren’t particularly intelligent.

Yet now he realized he was wrong; he had completely underestimated the demons of the Divine Realm, let alone the terror of high-tier demons.

Just as he was sizing up the outpost from afar,

innumerable strong perceptions suddenly enveloped him, causing his expression to change.

”Not good, let’s get out of here quickly!”

As his voice fell, the Hidden Dragon immediately turned around, launching a Giant Dragon Assault to speed away, rapidly escaping in a direction away from the outpost.

In no time, the outpost was left far behind.

He continued to fly several hundred kilometers, ensuring nothing was in pursuit before gradually slowing down.

Lin You was deeply alarmed.

Within those earlier perceptions, many were almost twice as powerful as his royal species.

They were definitely Lord Level Tier Twelve demons!

Who would have thought that just the outermost defensive line would be guarded by so many powerful demons? This Demon King Army was indeed terrifying to a great degree.

Fortunately, he reacted swiftly and made a quick escape, not giving the opponent a chance to pursue.

How could he dare to linger? He immediately flew away from this blood-red land, heading back towards Demon Suppression City.

...

Nightfall.

When the last ray of twilight disappeared from the horizon, the night descended like a curtain, gradually enveloping the whole of Demon Suppression City.

After a day of venturing out, many lords also hurried back to the city, making the area near the city gate bustling with people and vehicles coming and going continuously.

The streets were adorned with bright lights.

Some directly used Mechanical Type products, illuminating half of the block.

Whoosh——

At this time, a huge dark silhouette whistled past.

After more than an hour of flying, Lin You, riding the Hidden Dragon, finally returned to the outskirts of the city.

Glancing at the bustling scene below, he flew directly to the northern outskirts, landing in the tranquil manor.

”How about it? Did anything happen while I was away?”

As soon as he landed, Lin You asked Cyan Rattan, hovering over the World Tree.

”No,” Cyan Rattan replied softly, ”But the City Lord came once in the afternoon, seemed to be looking for you, but left soon after.”

”Bai Shangting?”

What was he coming to see me for?

Could there be some urgent matter?

While pondering this.

Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from outside.

A dark silhouette, cloaked in the night, rapidly approached and soon landed outside the manor.

”Mr. Lin, are you inside?”

It was Bai Shangting’s voice.

Coming twice to find him, it seemed there really was something urgent.

”Come in.”

Without much thought, he immediately instructed Cyan Rattan to retract the vines growing around the manor, making way.

Soon, Bai Shangting hastily entered the courtyard and came before him.

”What do you want with me?” Lin You asked.

”Yes, indeed there is a major issue I need to discuss with Mr. Lin.” Bai Shangting, looking a bit fearful at the surrounding plants, quickly said.

”To be honest, during your outing today, my daughter Linxue...she awakened a Legendary Level initial species, and it’s of the Angel Type.”

”Legendary Level? Angel Type?”

Hearing this, Lin You couldn’t help but be surprised.

It wasn’t due to Bai Linxue’s talent but the implications behind it.

Sure enough.

After a pause, Bai Shangting continued, ”The Pantheon has received the news and will send someone from Pantheon in a few days. It’s the most capable subordinate of Elder Three, a steward with Level 9 Quasi-God strength.”

Level 9 Quasi-God!

Wasn’t that just a step away from reaching True God Level?

Lin You’s eyes widened in surprise, realizing he had only faintly shown signs of reaching Level 2 Quasi-God after slaying hundreds of Tier Twelve Demons today.

He was far from being able to confront a Level 9 Quasi-God head-on.

If his identity were discovered, learning he was a fugitive among the Ten Thousand Realms, the Pantheon would surely send people to hunt him down.

Bai Shangting, thinking he was worried about his identity being exposed, quickly said, ”Rest assured, Mr. Lin, I have taken care of all possible points of leakage regarding your identity. No one will know about this.”

”I’m bringing this up now to notify you in advance so we can prepare.”

As for Bai Linxue, Bai Shangting wasn’t worried; he would negotiate with the Pantheon representatives.

In the worst-case scenario, Bai Linxue would simply be taken to Pantheon to be nurtured.

With her mother there, it’s much better than staying beside him, a minor lord in this remote locality.

But Lin You was different.

From the moment he first saw him, Bai Shangting sensed his extraordinariness.

The judgment he honed as a city lord for many years couldn’t be wrong.

Given the Pantheon’s attention to this matter, even a fool could see something very unusual.

So he decided to take a gamble.

To bet his future and his entire family.

Betting that one day Lin You would be able to help him.

This was also his only chance to contend with the Pantheon.

Unexpectedly.

As soon as his voice dropped, Lin You suddenly laughed, showing no sign of worry on his face.

”Why are you laughing, sir?” Bai Shangting asked in confusion.

That’s a Level 9 Quasi-God!

No matter how strong Lin You’s talent was, having crossed the Heaven-Reaching Road from a resource-poor Lower Realm to get here, it wasn’t something that could be contended with overnight.

Seeing Lin You laugh, he found it incredibly unbelievable.

”It’s nothing,” Lin You waved his hand, ”It’s just a mere Level 9 Quasi-God, not enough to make me flee in panic, no need to worry.”

Ridiculous.

Every step he took was carved from a pile of corpses.

In several battles, he had even been hunted by those one or two Grand Tiers stronger than himself.

Within the same Tier, there wasn’t enough to make him fear.

Not even a Level 9 Quasi-God!
