Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 166: Chapter 165: Reversing the Rules, The Truth Emerges

“I feel… this Power of Rule is a bit strange, it doesn’t seem like what I remember.” Ji Yunshuang’s brows furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

“Oh? Really?”

The Tier Nine Lord was a bit surprised and looked at the crystal again, examining it carefully.

However, when he felt the twisted force on the crystal, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

“No, this isn’t the Power of Rule, it’s a Rule Reversal!”

As he spoke, he couldn’t care less and directly grabbed the crystal, examining it closely in his hand.

The more he observed, the more shocked his expression became, and even a hint of horror appeared, leaving the others nearby in complete bewilderment.

Even Ji Yunshuang was a bit baffled by his words and couldn’t help but ask, “Rule Reversal? What’s that?”

“It’s a kind of power that can reverse the rules.” The Tier Nine Lord took a deep breath, his expression growing more solemn.

“If this power is placed on the Primordial Continent of the Main Plane, it’s still manageable, at most causing temporary chaos in the rules. But it’s different with a Subordinate Plane; once this thing enters a Subordinate Plane, it will instantly destroy the plane’s rules, and even several neighboring planes will be completely annihilated!”

“They want to use this thing to destroy the foundation of the Primordial Continent!”

The last sentence was almost shouted out.

Even his hands holding the crystal were trembling wildly, revealing his inner rage at this moment.

The Subordinate Planes of the continent are places for nurturing new lords.

If they are destroyed, it would cut off a massive number of new lords, leaving the continent with no successors. How is that different from destroying their foundation?

The means of the Primordial Evil Realm are so vicious!

Not only him.

Even Ji Yunshuang’s beautiful eyes widened, covering her mouth, her face full of shock.

Let alone Lin You on the side.

At this moment, waves of shock rose in his heart, even more stunned than them.

Because he heard a very critical piece of information.

The Primordial Evil Realm wants to destroy the Subordinate Planes nurturing lords!

Isn’t that just like the area he was in before?

Devouring all lords who advanced to Tier Six—how is that different from destroying that area?

Could it be…

It was actually done by people from the Primordial Evil Realm!?

Thinking of this, Lin You was completely stunned.

All the confusion he had had suddenly became clear.

Since people from the Primordial Evil Realm can hide and infiltrate the Primordial Continent.

Doesn’t that mean there might be lapdogs of the Primordial Evil Realm among those Tier Ten Lords?

Very possible!

After all, as a lord, they all know how important Subordinate Planes are to a continent and would never easily do something that destroys their own foundation.

Because once discovered, they would face utter disaster.

There is no room for maneuver!

In shock, he couldn’t help but look at the Tier Nine Lord again, staring directly at the gray crystal.

Then he saw the Tier Nine Lord suddenly frown and say, “It seems this invasion of the Primordial Evil Realm is well-prepared, possibly equipped with more than one crystal, and they are all concealed in aura—this is going to be a bit tricky.”

“So what should we do? We can’t just let them get away with this, right?” Ji Yunshuang followed up.

“This matter definitely needs to be reported up, but tracking their whereabouts might not be easy. If they dare to do this, they surely have internal assistance among us, and at least someone from Tier Ten is needed to activate this reversal power.”

“Tier Ten!? Does that mean…”

“Yes, among the kings on the continent, there is someone from the Primordial Evil Realm!” the Tier Nine Lord stated almost certainly, “Although I don’t know how he manages to hide from everyone’s eyes, I must say, their methods are really sophisticated.”

“How can it be…”

Ji Yunshuang was so shocked that she retreated, almost losing her balance.

Then thinking of something, she added, “But there are so many kings on the continent, how are we supposed to find that person?”

“That’s the hardest part.” The Tier Nine Lord sighed helplessly, “There are so many countries on the continent, with countless Subordinate Planes. If we don’t know their exact aim, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, and the chances are slim.”

His expression grew even heavier as he spoke.

Along with a bit of regret.

If he had discovered early, he might have been able to stop it in time.

That’s several million, even a billion potential lords. If that area is destroyed, every lord there would not survive, causing grave harm to the Primordial Continent.

The Primordial Evil Realm indeed harbors malicious thoughts!

They solely intend to swallow up the Primordial Realm!

The current strategy is to report this matter up as soon as possible; delaying longer will put them at a greater disadvantage.

So quickly, the Tier Nine Lord put away the crystal and said to the surrounding lords, “Let’s go, back to the Main City! Everyone else stays to clean up the bodies!”

After speaking, he directly leaped onto the back of a Fire Simurgh Bird, heading rapidly toward the direction of the Main City, leaving the surrounding people in utter shock.

From triggering the Beast Tide to establishing a base.

From the base being discovered to a large-scale invasion.

All of this was just the Primordial Evil Realm preparing for this earth-shattering plan.

Thinking back now, it gives a creepy feeling.

If it were normal circumstances, the Primordial Continent might truly fall for the Primordial Evil Continent’s scheme this time, suffering great damage.

However, even the wisest will have a slip-up.

No matter how meticulous the plan is, there will always be flaws.

Presumably, the Primordial Evil Realm would never have thought that in the area they’ve sealed off, a few lords managed to escape.

And one of those lords grew rapidly in a short time, arriving at the border battlefield to witness their plan firsthand.

If anyone on this continent knows where that insider is, Lin You is definitely one of them!

This is also Lin You’s first time getting so close to the truth behind the area lockdown.

He couldn’t help but get a bit excited inside.

Though he couldn’t personally take down the foe that tried to devour him, he could use others to do it.

For example… this beautiful lady in front of him.

The other party just admitted she’s a Daughter of the King, and very possibly from one of the kings under the Holy Radiance Kingdom.

If he could meet the Saint Radiance King through this connection, his safety would be more assured.

Of course, before confirming who the real traitor is, he still dared not expose himself too much, lest he invites disaster.

So after contemplating, he approached Ji Yunshuang, who was pale with fright, and asked, “May I ask… whose daughter you are in the Kingdom?”

Hearing his voice, Ji Yunshuang finally came to her senses.

But her mind was elsewhere now, not wanting to bicker over resources with Lin You anymore, and she directly asked, “Why are you suddenly asking me this?”

“Nothing, I just want to confirm something.”

Lin You’s expression was incredibly serious, utterly different from before.

Ji Yunshuang was slightly surprised, but she still answered truthfully, “I am the Daughter of the King of the Great Wilderness, a Duchy under the Holy Radiance Kingdom, Ji Yunshuang.”

“Uh…” Now, it was Lin You’s turn to be stunned, looking at Ji Yunshuang in astonishment: “You’re the daughter of the King of the Great Wilderness??”
