Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 716: Chapter 710: The Opening of the Divine Hall of Origin

The sudden voice abruptly interrupted the discussions of the Great Emperors.

Including Lin You, all of them turned their gaze towards the array in unison.

In the center of the array, a graceful figure in a holy white robe first appeared, her gaze slightly trembling, watching Lin You as if she knew he would be waiting there.

”Yunshuang?”

Lin You was amazed, completely not expecting that the first to appear would be her, Ji Yunshuang!

”How is it? Surprised?”

Ji Yunshuang smiled gently, slowly walking from the array to stand before Lin You.

The two locked eyes, with so much to say, yet not knowing where to begin, as if returning to the days when they fought side by side.

Finally, they exchanged a smile.

”Indeed, very surprised.” Lin You nodded quietly, ”I remember when we left the Ten Thousand Realms, you were only Tier Ten.”

”To be precise, when you left, I was close to Tier Eleven.” Ji Yunshuang added, ”Because of that great battle and my efforts during this time, I fulfilled my promise back then and became an Empress.”

Back then, when they were swept into a space rift and wandered into other realms, they jokingly said that one day, they would achieve the emperor position and stand at the peak of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Now recalling it, they had unknowingly achieved that seemingly impossible goal, which was truly remarkable.

At this moment, another figure successfully appeared, an old man with white hair and beard.

”You are... Old Tian!?”

Several Great Emperors immediately recognized the old man and hurriedly went up to him.

The old man, having just reformed his physical body, looked somewhat dazed.

Seeing the nearby Great Emperors clearly, he was instantly overjoyed.

”It’s you all, I’ve finally seen you again!”

”Yes, I thought we would never meet again.”

The reunion of old friends suddenly made the area outside Lin You’s territory very lively.

After all, when the Ten Thousand Realms collapsed and the Heaven-Reaching Road appeared, they were psychologically prepared that their departure might be a farewell forever.

Who would have thought there would be a day of reunion?

”By the way, where’s your father?”

Lin You suddenly recalled something and asked.

The initially talkative Ji Yunshuang turned pale and immediately looked around.

”My father entered the Heaven-Reaching Road with me, hasn’t he arrived yet?” Her words were filled with deep concern.

After all, the Heaven-Reaching Road was not something one could traverse casually.

A single misstep could exhaust one’s vitality, leaving them stranded on the way forever.

Lin You had previously seen many Great Emperors enter, but only two had emerged so far, indicating the danger.

Fortunately.

The worst outcome did not occur.

In just two minutes, lights once again illuminated the World Tree, forming figures above the array, more than before.

When the lights faded, Ji Xinghe, whom they longed to see, appeared, looking around blankly.

”Father!”

Ji Yunshuang joyfully rushed forward.

This call brought back Ji Xinghe’s wandering consciousness, allowing him to finally see the scene before him clearly.

”Yunshuang? Lin You? And everyone, you’re all here?”

Ji Xinghe gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar figures before him, momentarily unable to react.

Though it seemed like a short time for Lin You and the others, an entire month had elapsed for him on the Heaven-Reaching Road, and his mind was understandably hazy.

The appearance of the two veteran Great Emperors also brightened the eyes of the others, like the Dragon Emperor, who went up to greet them warmly.

Soon.

These newly reformed Great Emperors began to learn about the situation in the Divine Realm through their conversations, each one shocked and excited.

Beyond the Ten Thousand Realms, there was indeed a larger Main Plane, justifying the risks they took entering the Heaven-Reaching Road.

Even Ji Xinghe and his daughter showed expressions of disbelief.

However, upon hearing the brutal murders of their other companions, their faces turned somber, filled with immense anger.

”Are you saying that our companions in our realm might have all died at the hands of those people?”

”Daring to kill so many of our companions is unforgivable!”

”I don’t care about their Divine Kingdom or whatever, once I gain enough power, I’ll take them down sooner or later!”

”For thousands of years, I always thought Tier Twelve was the pinnacle and had almost forgotten the original drive. This time, let’s use them to sharpen it!”

Those who became Great Emperors in the harsh competition of the Ten Thousand Realms were no softies, with more blood on their hands than even Lin You.

Previously, the rules had dulled their fighting spirit, but it hadn’t disappeared completely.

Now, hearing of their companions’ demise, their long-dormant ferocity was reignited, each exuding a formidable aura.

Lin You felt it.

Among the five newly ascended Great Emperors, aside from Ji Xinghe and Ji Yunshuang who had just reached Level 5 Quasi-God, the other three veteran Great Emperors had all achieved Level 9 Quasi-God, just a step away from True God.

Suddenly, their strength was significantly enhanced.

”So, does that mean, Lin You, you have now joined the Demon Race?”

After listening to their recount, Ji Yunshuang’s entire brow furrowed.

Although the Great Emperors spoke lightly, she could feel the danger they faced then, and the pain and anger of watching their companions get killed.

”Yeah... We were too weak at that time, with no way out but to run to the Demon Race’s side.”

Lin You sighed, too many people had died along this road.

Their only lifeline was to stand on the opposite side of the Divine Realm; there was no way to consider anything else.

”Demon Race or not, it doesn’t matter. In my eyes, killing a Lord or a Demon is the same; as long as it’s an enemy, it should be killed!” Ji Yunshuang said boldly.

These bold words paired with her graceful figure in that Holy White Robe created an odd contrast.

It seems she has gone through quite a lot during this time.

”Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s first welcome you and then choose a place to summon the territory.”

After some pleasantries, the Great Emperors did not stay long and started to take them outside to familiarize themselves with the environment, selecting a territory.

In the blink of an eye, the entrance to the Demon Realm became even more bustling.

Over twenty territories towered everywhere, forming a massive community and defense line, accommodating all kinds of species.

It’s almost like the prototype of a city Lin You had mentioned building back then.

After Ji Yunshuang and the others established their territory and familiarized themselves with the environment, they also began to hunt Demons in the surrounding Neutral Zone or earn Crystal Stones by visiting nearby cities in the Divine Realm, aiming to enhance their power swiftly.

Especially upon hearing that Lin You had already ascended to Tier Thirteen, they felt a sense of urgency to catch up to him quickly.

...

Time passed swiftly.

A few days flew by in the blink of an eye.

To Lin You’s surprise, those few days, the Pantheon’s Divine Child didn’t send anyone to attack them, almost as if they had suddenly vanished.

The Great Emperors went to investigate and returned with news that the two Divine Children had recently withdrawn, returning to the Divine Kingdom.

”It’s truly strange, after we killed so many of them, they haven’t made any move?”

”Moreover, I heard they left urgently, as if they encountered some major event.”

”Could it be because of the Divine Hall of Origin you mentioned, Lin You?”

The Great Emperors gathered to discuss.

The news about the Divine Hall of Origin, they had only heard from Lin You; they knew it was a place to fight for Divine Positions, but nothing else.

Only this explanation made sense as to why they would suddenly abandon the World Core and leave directly.

”Divine Position, if we could seize one, wouldn’t that be equivalent to obtaining a ticket to ascend to Tier Fourteen?”

A Great Emperor who had just reached Tier Thirteen couldn’t help but say.

”Come on, you just upgraded, facing several Divine Child-level figures would be sending yourself to death.”

”That’s true, only Lin You, the Dragon Emperor, and the Saint Emperor are capable of going.”

The Dragon Emperor and the Saint Emperor themselves were amongst the strongest in the Ten Thousand Realms, with the Original World being very complete, their upgrade momentum in the early stage was strong, easily becoming Level 2 True Gods.

With their recent acquisition of Extraordinary Species, as long as they didn’t face a Divine Child head-on, they could at least barely protect themselves.

[Attention all Lords...]

Suddenly, a notification interrupted their discussion.

[Due to a vacancy in Divine Position, the Divine Hall of Origin is about to descend.]

[All Lords can enter the hall to participate in the Divine Trial.]

[Trial takers can win an corresponding Divine Position and will be rewarded with a large amount of upgrade resources.]

[The Divine Hall of Origin lasts for three days, appearing randomly across various areas of the Divine Realm.]

...

...

”The Divine Hall of Origin has opened!”

”It’s true! Just passing the Divine Trial can earn a Divine Position!”

”Haha good! I’ve been waiting for this for decades!”

Exclamations arose in every corner of the Eastern Divine Domain.

All Lords were stunned by the notification, gathered together to discuss, causing the entire Eastern Divine Domain to become agitated.

Especially those whose power has reached the level but are struggling without a Divine Position, more excitedly planned to seize at least one Divine Position this time.

Meanwhile.

At the Peak of the Gods, in a floating city in the sky.

The Pantheon’s Divine Child, who had been traveling for days, had just returned here, leading his team towards the main hall of the Pantheon.

”Eh? Isn’t that the Pantheon’s Divine Child? He recently went to the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm, why has he suddenly returned?”

On the bustling streets, several striking figures glanced this way, puzzled.

”Do you even need to ask? It must be to return for the Divine Hall of Origin.”

”His power is substantial, and he might become an obstacle in our fight for Divine Position.”

”But I heard he seemed to suffer a great loss at a Lower Realm Lord’s place not long ago, losing many True Gods.”

”Lower Realm Lord? That’s unlikely right? He brought more than fifty True Gods this time.”

”I also think it’s unlikely, but it’s better to scout out clearly, that guy is very cunning, better to avoid falling into his trap.”

”Indeed.” The man with the strongest power agreed, ”Let’s go, the Divine Hall of Origin descends, it’s time to get ready, this time, no matter who, no one can stop us from obtaining the Main God’s Position!”
