Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 696: Chapter 690: Flooding In From All Sides

Just as Lin You advanced to Level 7 Quasi-God, significantly increasing his strength.

Thousands of miles away at the Godslaying Alliance, an elder rapidly descended on a flying mount and entered the central grand hall.

”Report to the Alliance Leader, there’s new news from the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm!”

The loud voice almost spread throughout the entire grand hall.

The alliance leader, who was in the hall absorbing crystal stones to enhance his strength, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the newcomer.

”Speak!”

”The people we sent to scout for news in the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm have just sent word that outside the territory of that Lower Realm Lord, a Tier Thirteen Three-headed Flood Dragon Leader was discovered, and they have a close relationship.”

”Tier Thirteen Leader? As expected...”

The alliance leader of the Godslaying Alliance was a tall man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

Just sitting there, one could feel an incredibly strong aura, almost enveloping the entire hall.

Like the Pantheon Hall Master, he was also a Level 10 True God, only one step away from the Celestial God Level.

At this moment, however, he looked deeply troubled.

”It seems that the Pantheon’s defeat last time should be related to that Leader Demon.”

”Alliance Leader, what should we do now?” The elder couldn’t help but ask, ”Not many people know that the World Core is on that Lower Realm Lord, but if we delay too long, it might lead to unexpected changes.”

”No rush.” The alliance leader raised his hand, showing a thoughtful expression, ”I know that Three-headed Flood Dragon; it’s one of the subordinates of Jiu Ying’s three vice generals, and it’s about to reach the crucial stage of transformation into a Lord.”

”Lord Demon!?” The elder was startled, ”Wouldn’t even the Alliance Leader find it hard to handle?”

”Yes.” The alliance leader silently nodded, ”I suspect the Pantheon noticed this point, so they deliberately withheld information, intending to let our people go to their deaths.”

”This...”

The elder was stunned.

Like the Pantheon’s Hall Master, their Alliance Leader only possessed one Royal Species, and along with their own power, could at best achieve a stalemate with the Lord Demon.

If any elders encountered it, there was even a risk of being killed.

It turns out the Pantheon had been inactive, contemplating this strategy.

Such deep-mindedness indeed!

”It seems we really underestimated that Lower Realm Lord, able to associate with one of Jiu Ying’s vice generals.”

The three vice generals under Jiu Ying are all Tier Fourteen Leader Demons, guarding the three directions of the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm’s perimeter, almost akin to Gate Gods.

Even they dare not provoke them lightly.

If it’s indeed as the information suggests, they’ll have to alter their plans.

After contemplating for a good while, the Alliance Leader finally raised his head: ”Go, send the information to the Divine Kingdom, telling them we detected traces of the World Core but can’t handle those Demon Species, and ask them to send people down to assist.”

”This... really need to alert those above?”

The elder’s expression changed as if hearing a shocking decision.

”It’s fine. After all, the Divine Kingdom above the Pantheon already knows this information. They’ll probably send people down soon. The World Core is of great importance; we must act before them. It’s better not to even claim this credit.”

The Godslaying Alliance and Pantheon were not on good terms and naturally did not wish for such a treasure to fall into the opponent’s hands; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Most importantly, they weren’t confident enough to capture that Lower Realm Lord under the protection of a Lord Demon.

Once matters escalate and attract those vice generals, it’ll be a catastrophic blow to them, so there’s no need to take such a risk.

”Very well, I’ll go contact them and pass the message up. Shouldn’t take more than half a month for the people above to arrive. Let that Lower Realm Lord live a few more days.”

Seeing the Alliance Leader say so, the elder stopped talking, bid farewell, and quickly left the grand hall to pass on the message outside.

...

On the other side.

The perimeter of the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm.

Lin You was unaware that the Pantheon and Godslaying Alliance had begun to take measures against him, planning to bring in external assistance.

After advancing to Level 7 Quasi-God, he also came outside to check on the sub-human slaves.

”Greetings, Sir.”

The slaves building wooden houses in the forest saw him and immediately paused their work, rushing over.

Being sub-human species, they didn’t have high requirements for their living environment, so they chose to build wooden houses in the forest as their dwelling place.

This way, it’s close to the entrance, always ready to respond to Lin You’s summoning, and can quickly appear when material resources are delivered.

”Does anyone among you know how to count?”

Lin You glanced at the thirty or so emaciated slaves before him and asked.

”Sir, I do.”

One slave stepped forward.

Following the voice, Lin You found it was one of the youths filled with hatred toward the Lord from yesterday.

”Very well. From now on, when materials are delivered, you’ll be responsible for counting. Ask if there’s anything unclear.”

”Yes!”

The youth responded loudly.

Other sub-humans cast envious glances.

After familiarizing themselves for half a day, they already knew Lin You was the master here.

Being entrusted by him, at least compared to other slaves, meant having a slightly higher status.

”By the way.”

At this moment, Lin You suddenly thought of something.

”Where were you captured from?”

”Sir, we came from the Divine Kingdom,” the young boy respectfully answered.

”Divine Kingdom? What is that?” Lin You looked surprised.

He had been in the Divine Realm for quite some time, yet this was the first time he had heard of this name. It seemed to be a remarkable place.

”Please forgive us, sir. We don’t really understand what the Divine Kingdom is either, only that it’s like some powerful deity’s realm where countless deities reside, and it’s a place many lords aspire to reach.”

”A realm established by deities?”

Lin You’s gaze sharpened, and he fell into deep thought.

He had been in the Divine Realm for some time now, but he only knew that he was in the Eastern Region of the Divine Realm, with the largest forces around being the Pantheon and the Godslaying Alliance.

As for further and more central places, he didn’t know much and hadn’t heard many lords discuss them.

From the sound of it, this ”Divine Kingdom” wasn’t simple, probably a realm established by some Celestial God or even a Main God, with powers that were not to be underestimated.

It seemed he would need to gather more information on these matters in the future, to avoid getting into big trouble inadvertently.

After all, with his current strength, he was far from being able to contend with such existences.

With this in mind, he quietly made a note of it, then said, ”Since I have bought you, you’re now my people. As long as you work hard for me, I won’t treat you poorly. Take these foods and distribute them among yourselves. Only when you’re full will you have the strength to work.”

Saying this, he took some stored jerky out of his personal space and piled it in front of them.

The slaves’ eyes lit up upon seeing the food, and they couldn’t help but swallow; some even had their stomachs growling.

As slaves, they were not treated as humans.

So the food they received usually just barely sustained their lives, and they had never seen so much meat.

After glancing at Lin You and hesitating for a moment, they finally couldn’t resist any longer and rushed up to grab pieces of jerky and devoured them.

Their expressions of chewing vigorously with tears streaming down their faces spoke volumes about the hardships they had endured.

”After eating, continue your work.”

Lin You didn’t say much more. He simply left after that single remark.

Some things need not be spoken too clearly.

If you treat others well, they will naturally feel it.

Just like these sub-human slaves.

Simply giving them food that could make them full had gradually transformed their fear of Lin You into awe.

After eating, they began to work even harder.

The entire forest was filled with busy figures inside and out.

...

In a blink of an eye.

Five more days passed.

While Lin You was discussing the next plan with Dragon Abyss and the other two, a group of guests suddenly arrived outside their territory—over a dozen warlords covered in dust.

”Dragon Abyss, Celestial Vault, we’ve finally found you!”

The leading warlord, who wasn’t lacking in momentum, rushed excitedly towards Dragon Abyss and Celestial Vault as soon as he saw them.

Dragon Abyss and the others, who had just walked out of their territory, widened their eyes in great surprise at the sight of these people.

”It’s you! How did you get here too!?”

Yes.

In front of them were over a dozen warlords, actually the Ten Thousand Realms Emperors!

And quite a few of them knew Dragon Abyss and Celestial Vault, so they immediately embraced each other like old friends reuniting.

Lin You, who arrived later, was also very surprised, not expecting so many Ten Thousand Realms Emperors to come all at once.

A lot of familiar faces among them too.

”It’s so good to see you all again! I thought you were all dead,” Celestial Vault exclaimed.

”No kidding, that space turbulence scattered us all. If we hadn’t heard rumors about Lin You, we wouldn’t have known you were here.”

The leading warlord said this and couldn’t help but look at Lin You with awe.

On their way here, they’d heard many stories about Lin You.

Upon learning he had joined the Demon Race and defeated the Pantheon and several major forces, these Emperors, who had previously been hunted by the Pantheon, instantly reached a consensus to come to Lin You.

”Brother Lin You, we’re shamelessly here to ask if you’d welcome us to settle down.”

After some small talk, the emperors all looked at Lin You, seeking his opinion.

”Welcome, of course, you’re welcome!”

Lin You’s face was full of smiles, and he was overjoyed inside.

These people were lords who’d successfully crossed the Heaven-Reaching Road, with strength mostly above Level 5 Quasi-God.

With their joining, the number of Tier Twelve Lords on his side would instantly surge to nearly twenty, measuring up to those major forces, only a fool would refuse.

So, quickly, Lin You led them to the entrance, to start selecting suitable territory locations for them.

Right then, a voice suddenly emerged from the group.

”Oh yes, we forgot to mention, today, as we were coming here, we saw the Pantheon Hall Master personally leading a team out of the Pantheon, seemingly to welcome some big figure.”
