Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 714: Chapter 708: Deep Within the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm

”Duan Changfeng?”

”Changfeng Emperor?”

Upon hearing the words Lin You suddenly uttered, Dragon Emperor and the others immediately changed their expressions.

Back during the final battle in the Ten Thousand Realms, the terrifying power displayed by Changfeng Emperor remains vivid in their memories.

Especially after entering the Divine Realm and understanding the level system beyond Tier Twelve, they dare not imagine how far he has reached now.

Most importantly,

The fact that Changfeng Emperor could appear in the Ten Thousand Realms clearly had significant ties to the Divine Kingdom they were currently facing.

Yet they never thought he would be one of the hundred high-level Celestial Gods of the Divine Kingdom.

The reason why Lin You asked this was because he suddenly recalled the condition Changfeng Emperor once wanted him to agree to — to help kill someone.

Even someone like Changfeng Emperor, who possesses the ability of time reversal, couldn’t kill them and had to flee to the Lower Realm to hide; one can imagine the terrifying strength, at least that of a celestial god level powerhouse.

So he asked tentatively.

What surprised everyone was.

The old man opposite actually showed a surprised expression in response to his inquiry.

”Duan Changfeng? You mean King Duan, one of the eight great celestial kings under the original Main God?”

!!!

In an instant.

All the emperors were stunned.

One of the eight great celestial kings under the Main God?

It turns out Changfeng Emperor is such a powerful being?

This title even sounds more prominent than those hundred high-level celestial gods of the Divine Kingdom!

”Yes, that’s exactly who I mean.” Lin You took a deep breath, calming the shock within his heart, ”Tell me everything about him, and I can promise not to make things difficult for you for now.”

”Really?” The old man’s eyes lit up.

Not because Lin You was sparing them, but because of his change in attitude.

As long as they can temporarily stabilize him and let him clash with the Pantheon, the Godslaying Alliance can reap the benefits and attack their rivals.

It’s truly a win-win strategy for them.

Of course.

He wouldn’t easily reveal his true thoughts.

After contemplating for a moment, he spoke with a reminiscent expression, ”Regarding King Duan, not many people actually know.”

”When the news of the Main God’s fall was spread, the entire Divine Kingdom almost plunged into chaos.”

”Various major forces and neighboring countries erupted in conflict, and the hundred celestial gods representing the peak of the gods’ ultimate authority also fell apart. Led by the eight great celestial kings, they vied for the Main God’s position.”

”But strangely, not long after, the other seven celestial kings suddenly claimed that King Duan collaborated with the Demon Race to ambush the Main God and would be chased throughout the Divine Kingdom.”

”I don’t know much about the subsequent events, only that a few earth-shattering battles occurred, after which King Duan completely disappeared without a trace.”

After finishing, the old man couldn’t help but glance at Lin You with a strange expression.

A Human Race joining forces with the Demon Race, isn’t the one before them a living example?

However, Lin You was too absorbed in the narrative to notice this, as he was deeply intrigued by his words.

The emperors were equally astonished, not expecting Changfeng Emperor to have had such a high standing in the Divine Realm.

It finally made sense why he possessed such terrifying strength and appeared in the Ten Thousand Realms, a Lower Realm.

It turns out he was on the run from the other seven celestial kings.

But the question is.

Did Changfeng Emperor truly betray the Main God?

Frankly, Lin You himself doesn’t quite believe it.

Though Changfeng Emperor is inherently cold, keeping others at a distance.

It doesn’t seem like he would betray the Main God, and it seems to bring him no benefit; instead, it resulted in him being hunted by the Divine Kingdom.

Is there some hidden story within this?

It seems he’ll need to seize the opportunity to investigate in the future.

With that thought, he turned back to the members of the Godslaying Alliance: ”Besides this, there should be other things you want to say, right?”

”Naturally.” The old man smiled slightly, ”You must have heard that within the Divine Kingdom, there is more than one Divine Child inheriting the position of the Main God, right?”

”As our arch-rival Pantheon, we certainly don’t want their Divine Child to ascend, so... there’s really not much conflict of interest between you and us.”

”Haha, no conflict of interest, how lightly said.” At this point, the Celestial Vault Emperor interjected, ”Aren’t you divine children all eyeing the foundation of our Ten Thousand Realms?”

The so-called foundation of the Ten Thousand Realms naturally refers to the World Core Lin You inherited.

But the old man, being seasoned, didn’t feel embarrassed even when uncovered so bluntly.

Instead, he openly admitted: ”Indeed, we do need the World Core, but now is not the time to officially clash with you, is it?”

He said, his gaze inevitably falling on Lin You, implying pointedly.

Lin You naturally understood his implication, frowning slightly as he glanced at the other emperors beside him.

”What do you think?”

His voice was very soft, heard only by the few beside him.

”I think what he said isn’t entirely unreasonable,” Dragon Emperor said gravely.

”Though we won against Pantheon’s forces before, it was merely a part of their troops. If facing two Divine Children simultaneously, it would be extremely detrimental to us; it’s better to take a step back for now.”

”I agree too,” Saint Emperor immediately followed, ”There are many Divine Children in the Divine Kingdom, some even reaching celestial god level; we urgently need time to develop and should not make too many enemies.”

Killing these few people would certainly vent his anger, but it would also just create an additional enemy.

Moreover, the Godslaying Alliance hadn’t previously participated in the siege against their Ten Thousand Realms Lords, so the relationship wasn’t too tense.

However...

He couldn’t simply let go of the issue of them issuing a bounty on him.

Lin You squinted his eyes and once again glanced at the members of the Godslaying Alliance, with a somewhat malicious expression.

The old man and his companions were secretly shocked; this Lower Realm Lord was indeed more difficult to handle than they had imagined, still holding a grudge about the previous bounty.

It seems that today’s mission entrusted by the Divine Child won’t be completed without shedding considerable blood.

Inwardly cursing the people in the division who issued the bounty, he finally bit his teeth and took out a Resource Treasure Pearl from his personal space.

”As a show of sincerity, our Divine Child has specially prepared some resources to gift to Your Excellency, please accept them.”

”Oh? Resources?”

Lin You was slightly surprised as he took the Resource Treasure Pearl brought over by their Royal Species.

With a glance, his eyes widened instantly.

Inside this Resource Treasure Pearl, there were actually 50,000 Tier Thirteen Crystal Stones, and 250,000 Tier Twelve Crystal Stones, along with an Angel Type Extraordinary Token.

Indeed, the Divine Child is lavish; this is almost equivalent to half the assets of a High-level True God.

Besides.

There was also a thick dossier inside, documenting a lot of information about the Divine Child of the Pantheon; indeed the Godslaying Alliance came prepared.

However, since they gave the resources freely, Lin You wouldn’t be polite, and directly accepted them.

”Since you are so generous, I won’t be stingy either. Go back and tell your Divine Child that as long as he doesn’t provoke me, I won’t become his enemy. We can even join forces against the Pantheon.”

Such cheekiness!

The members of the Godslaying Alliance cursed quietly, but their faces also broke into a smile.

”Thank you, Your Excellency, for the praise. We will leave now, staying here too long might be discovered by the Pantheon’s spies.”

”Go, and don’t bother us without reason.”

Lin You waved his hand and directly turned away.

The other Great Emperors took a deep look at them, then quickly flew away to continue observing those newly upgraded Great Emperors.

Once they all disappeared, the faces of the members of the Godslaying Alliance gradually turned grim.

”Absolutely arrogant! How dare he ignore us like this!”

”I really don’t understand why the Divine Child is being so courteous to a Lower Realm Lord.”

”Exactly, no matter how strong he is, he is just at Tier Thirteen. Does he really think the Godslaying Alliance doesn’t have anyone who can handle him?”

”Everyone, stop talking.” The old man dropped his previous cordial smile, his expression turning cold, ”The Divine Child has his reasons for instructing us to do this; we just need to follow orders.”

”Once the Divine Child inherits the throne, not just a mere True God, even that Nine-headed Flood Dragon behind him would have to bend to us!”

With that said, he commanded his mount to turn around and head back towards the Godslaying Alliance’s division.

The others didn’t dare linger and hurriedly followed him, disappearing into the horizon in a short while.

...

In the blink of an eye.

A night passed.

Early the next morning, Lin You left his Territory, heading towards the depths of the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm.

His destination was the center of the entire Demon Realm’s periphery, where the True Nest of Jiu Ying is located.

Previously, during the battle with the Pantheon, Jiu Ying had asked him to come over.

Being under someone else’s wings, he naturally wouldn’t easily anger the other party, so it was best to go see what was wanted from him.

This was Lin You’s first time truly venturing into the heart of the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm.

Previously, the furthest he had gone was to several Leader Demon Nests responsible for guarding the perimeter; it was, after all, the place where the Demon Race lived, making him inevitably anxious, and he traveled very cautiously.

However.

Contrary to Lin You’s expectations.

When he crossed the familiar mountains and arrived on a vast black earth, the scene before him left him stunned.

At the end of the flat black earth, a towering mountain peak loomed into view, like a colossal entity nestled between the blood-red heavens and earth.

Looking around, various Demon Nests were established around the mountain, extending from the plains at the mountain’s foot to the top, with many buildings resembling castles mixed in.

Especially at the summit, a spooky castle loomed faintly amidst the clouds, reminiscent of the dark-themed main city Lin You had seen in games.

So the Demon Race has developed and proliferated into an orderly society like the Human Race?

Lin You was amazed, continually observing the terrifying demons flying around the mountain in the distance.

Any of them possessed at least Tier Thirteen strength, with some auras not much weaker than his.

Undoubtedly, this is the residence of the king on the periphery of the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm, where Jiu Ying lives!

”Kid.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly called from afar.

A familiar figure appeared, rapidly approaching him.

It was the Three-headed Flood Dragon Leader who had retreated to seclusion after devouring the Poisonous Flood Dragon King’s Poison Sac.

No.

Now it should be called the Three-headed Flood Dragon Lord.

Because at this moment, the Three-headed Flood Dragon Leader had successfully transformed, elevated to Lord Level, which is the same level as the Royal Species!
