Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 733: Chapter 727: Gathering in the Main Hall

”The meaning of life, who the hell knows what the meaning of life is!”

Listening to the question echoing incessantly in his ear, Lin You only felt a headache coming on.

He disliked discussing such philosophical questions the most; it made him feel pretentious. To him, it was nothing more than a distraction when he could be considering what to eat tomorrow instead.

If there truly is a meaning, shouldn’t it be each person’s own assignment to life?

He often heard people talk about the end and the beginning in similar ways before.

When they say something like ”Since sooner or later we all die, what’s the point of living?” it made him want to puke.

Was the purpose of your birth merely to die?

Since coming to this world, Lin You had struggled and made countless efforts just to survive and finally reach where he is now.

Thus, it’s hard to empathize with those who belittle their own lives.

A colorful world.

There is plenty to pursue.

If you don’t chase it, that’s when it truly lacks meaning!

In a daze.

Lin You seemed to understand something, and the barrier before him also vanished, making him feel light as a feather.

Along with that lingering voice, it too disappeared.

”Huh? I passed just like that?”

Lin You was astonished; he merely vented casually in his heart, and that counted as answering those two questions?

And it seemed he passed?

Lifting his foot, he continued forward, indeed unobstructed, walking easily up the steps.

But it wasn’t long before the scene in front of him gradually changed.

The once broad staircase turned into a narrow mountain path.

The scenes before him rapidly shifted, from initial silence to the sounds of insects and birds, followed by beastly roars.

As he pressed on, the surrounding plants withered and then thrived, then withered again, as if reflecting the passage of time.

When he came to his senses, he found himself on a village path surrounded by bustling villagers and playful children, filling the village with life.

But in the blink of an eye, the village decayed, its population dwindled, and it turned into a deserted village, silently disappearing in the river of time.

Then the scene shifted to a straight, broad avenue.

Amidst a bustling crowd with ceaseless shouting, it was a lively street scene of a prospering era.

Yet ultimately, it could not escape the erosion of time, gradually decaying, and finally turning into an abandoned city, with only a few elderly figures gazing at the horizon, seemingly watching for something.

Lin You walked along the road, following their gaze to the sky, where he saw figures flying through the air, their aura profound, having transcended mortal bounds.

Underfoot, the path also became a transparent road to the heavens, its destination unknown.

As those figures gradually withered, only his lonely figure remained in the vast world, watching the earth below decay as all traces of human existence quickly vanished, leaving silence in their wake.

When glaciers completely engulfed the world, the last trace of vitality faded away.

Lin You quietly observed this strange world, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew not how long he walked.

So long that he thought the road had no end, when suddenly, the glacier below began to melt.

Plants rich with life force sprouted, dyeing the world green and bringing vitality.

Then.

A new cycle began again.

”Do plants bring life?”

Looking at the scene before him, Lin You murmured to himself, suddenly gaining new understanding of life.

Though not the strongest amongst all races, Plant Type is the most resilient.

No matter the changes in time or the breaking of mountains and rivers, plants endure, never truly disappearing.

This might be what those two questions alluded to—where the end is the beginning.

As he thought of this, a prompt rang in his mind.

[Congratulations, you have successfully passed the final trial: The True Essence of Life]

[The path to the Main Hall is opened. Please proceed to the Main Hall for the final test.]

Still in a daze, Lin You suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, filled with astonishment.

The final trial, passed just like that?

He thought it would at least be as challenging as the previous level, where he faced a Celestial God’s pursuit.

But unexpectedly, this last trial wasn’t about testing strength, but rather heart?

Was it a heart resonating with Plant Type?

Could it be his struggle for survival and indomitable spirit perfectly matched Plant Type’s resilience, thus he passed so easily?

Lin You wore a peculiar expression.

He thought it likely he was correct in his guess.

Seeing the prompt fade, a golden door appeared ahead, and he didn’t linger, quickening his pace toward it.

Swish!

Crossing the door, the scene transformed, and he found himself standing at the top of the stairs, outside the Divine Hall of Origin.

And more bizarre still.

He felt only a short time had passed, yet the sun had risen high, marking at least one to two hours.

”This...”

Lin You was momentarily stunned.

Just then, a flash of light appeared on the platform of the staircase, and several figures were teleported to the platform, immediately seeing him standing at the top of the stairs.

”Finally caught up with you, Lin You!”

Seeing Lin You, Situ Sheng, who was the first to be teleported, immediately had a sinking expression.

The other Divine Children and Lords reacted one after another, looking at the staircase in front of them and Lin You standing at the top, both surprised and puzzled.

”So it was you all, I thought you’d given up.”

Lin You smiled, looking down at the figures who had just appeared below, especially at the forefront, Situ Sheng.

After seeing the true form of the Main God of Ten Thousand Realms, he had already confirmed the relationship between them and Situ Jian; they should all be descendants of the Main God.

As for why Situ Jian was of the Insect Type, that was unknown.

Perhaps he inherited his mother’s bloodline?

Generally speaking, the offspring born from the combination of two Lords would randomly inherit the bloodline of both parents, with only a few waking up with a different bloodline due to mutation.

But he seemed to have never heard Situ Jian mention his mother before, nor did he know whether she had passed away.

”Didn’t expect it, did you? We caught up so quickly.”

As he was thinking, Situ Sheng’s voice rang again, pulling his thoughts back.

”Indeed, I didn’t expect it. Could it be related to the Main God’s inheritance?” Lin You did not deny it, because the speed was indeed much faster than he had imagined.

After all, they had entered much earlier and the speed of clearing was not slow.

Even so, being caught up meant he absolutely did not believe they did not have prior knowledge of the Divine Hall of Origin.

”Since you know I’m a descendant of the Main God, you should be clear that the Main God’s Position will ultimately be mine no matter what!” Situ Sheng said loudly without any scruples.

The other Divine Children and Lords frowned at this, showing a hint of displeasure.

Finally, another Divine Child stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone, ”Situ Sheng, don’t get it wrong. The Main God’s Position goes to the capable, it’s not some hereditary countryside title.”

This person was none other than Hua Junye, the Godslaying Alliance Divine Child who had had a brief interaction with Lin You before.

Originally, after just returning to the Divine Kingdom, he shouldn’t have arrived so quickly.

But the obstruction of the Demon Race had bought him quite a bit of time, and he finally caught up to the vanguard not long after the Divine Children entered the Divine Hall of Origin.

”Hua Junye, I haven’t settled the score with you for last time, and you dare leave the Godslaying Alliance and appear in front of me?” Situ Sheng looked coldly at Hua Junye.

”If it were before, I might be afraid of you a little, but I heard you recently lost a Royal Species? You don’t think four Royals would be enough to kill me, do you?” Hua Junye had a fearless expression.

Upon hearing their conversation, Lin You was surprised.

So this effeminate man named Hua Junye was the Godslaying Alliance Divine Child who had previously sent people to deliver resources to him?

Four Royals couldn’t kill him, so it seemed this person’s strength was not weak either.

However, he had more important things to do now, so he wasted no more words and said, ”The Main God’s Position is inside. If you want it, catch up with me first, but regretfully, the position is mine, Lin You’s!”

With that, he turned and walked into the Divine Hall of Origin.

The reason he said this under the watchful eyes of everyone was deliberately to let all the Divine Children know that he took the Main God’s Position.

Once the news spread, all Divine Kingdoms, forces, and even the Demon Race would surely receive the message quickly.

Only this way could he use the position of the Main God as leverage to find a lifeline and balance among these giants, developing their force in the Ten Thousand Realms.

So he bet everything on the Main God’s Position!

”Let’s go, we’re going in.”

He said to the few Royals beside him and disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

”No good, we absolutely can’t let him get the position!”

”Quick! Stop him!”

”We can’t let him into the Main Hall!”

The Divine Children and Lords below all had a change of expression upon seeing this.

There was no more time for confrontation, and they immediately rushed up the stairs with their species, chasing after Lin You.

Situ Sheng, being the strongest among them, had incredible speed, crossing a hundred meters in an instant to reach the forefront.

However.

Just as he was ready to continue forward, it was as if he hit an invisible wall; with a ”boom” sound, his whole body was thrown back, spitting out fresh blood, and he fell heavily onto the platform.

Then, an ethereal voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

”Does life hold meaning?”

”Is death the end or the beginning?”

...

Suddenly, all the Lords stopped in their tracks, looking bewildered and uncertain.

”What does this mean?”

”Are we supposed to answer this question?”

”Is this the final trial?”

Seeing Situ Sheng’s dire situation, none of them dared to act rashly. They slowed their steps, cautiously ascending one step at a time.

When they reached halfway up, they indeed encountered that invisible wall, unable to pass through no matter what they tried.

One of the Lords, seeing this, became anxious.

”To hell with the meaning, if one dies, isn’t it the end?”

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, a loud noise came.

That Lord was directly blasted away by a giant force, landing on the platform.

What shocked the others even more was that after landing, that Lord’s body lit up and instantly disappeared from the spot, forcibly teleported away from here.

”If you answer incorrectly, you’ll be forcibly teleported away?”

In an instant, all the Lords shut their mouths, not daring to speak randomly anymore.
