Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 657: Chapter 651: Pantheon, Demon Suppression City

Skin as smooth as snow, breath like a secluded orchid.

This was Lin You’s only impression when he saw the woman before him.

Unlike most people he had seen before, she seemed like a blossoming white lotus, pure and flawless, exuding an innate sacred aura.

Her clear gaze floated like duckweed on water, lively and flashing.

Her hair, as black as a waterfall, draped naturally over her shoulders, held in place only by a pure white hairband and nothing else.

With minimal decoration, her snow-like complexion appeared even more pure and gently beautiful.

If it weren’t for the absence of wings on her back, Lin You might have even thought she belonged to the Angel Race.

But soon, he snapped out of his daze and curiously glanced around before looking back at the woman.

”Are you talking to me?”

He said while pointing to himself.

”...”

The woman’s mouth opened slightly, momentarily speechless.

The crowd around them erupted in astonishment.

”It spoke!”

”That Humanoid Species actually spoke!”

”Its Level must be above Legendary Level!”

”An initial Species directly reaching Legendary Level, the Bai Family girl is quite fortunate.”

Exclamations rose from the crowd, interrupting Lin You’s actions.

He looked around in confusion, finally realizing he was standing on a wide circular plaza.

People came and went, crowding the area with all kinds of individuals.

The stone platform where he stood was at the center of a peculiar array.

Clearly.

The faint light he had seen in the space turbulence earlier was emitted by this array, which had directly pulled him out of that space.

Based on the chatter around him, it seemed they were conducting some kind of Species Summoning ritual.

And he had coincidentally been summoned by the array, interrupting the ceremony?

This...

Lin You was at a loss, never expecting to cross the Heaven-Reaching Road in such a way.

However, it was fortunate that this Summoning Array existed; otherwise, with his power, he wouldn’t have been able to break through the spatial barrier and would have had to wait for death slowly.

So upon seeing the somewhat bewildered look on the woman’s face, he finally nodded slightly.

”Yes, I am the Species you summoned.”

Having just arrived in this new high-level world, it’s better not to easily reveal that he came from the Lower Realm.

At least he should first understand the situation in this world and get familiar with the environment before revealing anything.

Because he realized the aura of anyone around the plaza matched the strength he had just acquired upon reaching the Emperor Tier!

Their life’s ultimate achievement was merely someone else’s starting point.

Is this what’s called the Divine Domain world?

Making Lin You even more cautious.

And indeed.

His decision proved correct.

As he traversed the Heaven-Reaching Road and entered the Divine Realm.

Atop one of the Sky Cities within the Divine Realm, several imposing figures were gathered around a giant array that connected the heavens and the earth, their brows furrowed as they eyed the golden portal at the center of the array.

”Still haven’t found the World Core?”

The leading elder’s face was somber as he asked those beside him.

The group nearby was startled, immediately bowing and replying, ”We report to your Lordship, all Lower Realm People who crossed the Heaven-Reaching Road during this time have been forcibly captured, and we’ve found no trace of the World Core.”

While speaking, he glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, their souls extracted in shock.

Upon hearing this, the elder’s expression darkened: ”Useless! You can’t even manage this, and Mo Tian is just as useless. What did I keep you around for?”

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura erupted, pressing all the people to the ground with a series of thuds and causing them to spit blood.

Just as they were about to be crushed into pulp by the aura, one of them managed to say with difficulty: ”My...my Lord, the Soul Space of the one just now...has already begun to collapse, quite a few Lower Realm souls have been swept away by turbulence, I suspect the World Core might...be among them.”

”Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find it, don’t come back without it!”

”Also, send more people to locate Duan Changfeng, that remnant around him must not survive!”

The elder roared angrily before withdrawing his pressure and leaving.

After a long moment, the group stood up from the ground, exchanged glances, and quickly dispersed to search for the World Core’s whereabouts.

On this day.

A corner of the Oracle began to plunge into intense turmoil.

...

...

”Are you really my Species?”

Walking away from the plaza, Bai Muqing eyed Lin You uneasily.

”Yes, I am.”

Lin You replied without skipping a beat, while secretly observing the surrounding environment.

He was currently in a place that seemed like a relatively remote city.

The city was large, with stone-paved roads stretching in all directions, leading everywhere. Around them, shops were abundant and lively, calls of merchants echoed constantly.

A river flowed nearby, extending from outside the city to beyond the town into an endless expanse of mountains and forests, separated by a heavily guarded city wall.

In the distant sky, a towering structure stood between heaven and earth, vaguely visible, separated by an unknown distance.

But strangely, even after leaving the plaza, he hadn’t seen anyone Sky Flying or Space Traveling.

Instead, people mostly rode various types of Species mounts to travel, and their power was generally at Emperor Level.

A multitude of teams, dressed like adventurers, passed through, heading outside the city, looking bustling and lively.

Lin You tried space travel, and suddenly a prompt sounded in his ears.

[Insufficient level, skill use failed.]

As expected.

With the world level increased, many of his abilities on the Ten Thousand Realms Continent couldn’t be used.

This world’s space was countless times stronger than that of the Ten Thousand Realms; with his current power, he simply couldn’t break through it.

Even apart from the Time Law, other species skills couldn’t be called upon; it seemed he needed to quickly find a place to understand the situation.

And just when he was about to calm his mind to observe the changes in the Origin Universe, the voice of Bai Linxue came again.

”You don’t need to deceive me; I know you’re not a species, but a living human.”

As the voice fell, Lin You’s steps halted instantly.

He turned back and found her staring at him with determination, as if she had suddenly become a different person, without the previous timidness.

Facing her resolute gaze, Lin You was silent for a long time and finally sighed: ”Since you know, why do you still help me hide it from those people?”

He could tell she was a very intelligent girl.

Though her nature was somewhat gentle, she had a calm heart not weaker than ordinary people.

It was easy to see whether or not one was a species.

Yet she didn’t directly expose his lie; instead, she waited until they left the square to confront him, helping him greatly in the process.

What he never expected was.

Hearing his words, Bai Linxue suddenly clenched the hem of her clothes, biting her lip.

”That was my awakening ceremony earlier. If they knew that I summoned a human instead of a species, my father would be very upset. Wouldn’t this mean I failed my awakening?”

As she finished speaking, tears, as large as beans, rolled down her fair cheeks, her body beginning to tremble slightly.

”...”

Lin You was silent.

He had observed earlier that the awakening ceremony should be similar to a Lord’s ability awakening ceremony, used to determine whether someone has the potential to become a Lord, and also decide what their initial species is.

They became Lords because the system automatically assigned, allocating everyone who couldn’t become Lords to the Life Realm, hence skipping the awakening process directly.

So speaking.

His appearance had disrupted her awakening ceremony, preventing her from becoming a Lord and summoning her initial species.

This was indeed cutting off someone’s future.

But even so, she still feigned composure to come outside, helping him conceal his identity, without a trace of resentment on her expression.

”Can I be of any help?”

Lin You hesitated for a moment and asked.

He still didn’t understand many things about this world, but if he could help, he was willing to do it, to somewhat ease his conscience.

”You want to help me?”

Bai Linxue, as if grasping at a straw of hope, suddenly looked up.

But soon, she sullenly lowered her head.

”After the first awakening failure, each awakening ceremony requires a Law Crystal Stone, and I don’t have that much money.”

Law Crystal Stone?

Could this be the trading currency of this world?

By the looks of it, it doesn’t seem cheap at all.

I wonder if he can obtain it with his power.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but ask: ”Can you tell me what the Law Crystal Stone you mentioned is?”

”You don’t even know what a Law Crystal Stone is?” Bai Linxue looked up in surprise, looking at him as if he were a monster.

”Probably... hit my head and lost my memory when you summoned me...” Lin You made up an excuse out of thin air.

Unexpectedly, Bai Linxue chuckled and genuinely believed his fib, saying guiltily, ”Sorry, I forcibly summoned you.”

Of course, she knew Lin You was making it up.

But out of guilt, she didn’t ask further and started talking about the Law Crystal Stones.

Sure enough.

She truly was a pure and kind-hearted girl.

Lin You couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

But also because of this girl, he finally got to know a bit about this world.

Laws.

This was the primary source of power in this world.

And generally, low-tier demons would have a Law Fragment on them, which could be obtained by killing them, and was the most common trading currency among people in the Divine Realm.

A hundred Law Fragments could be synthesized into a Law Crystal Stone, the essential material required for the awakening ceremony.

So, does he just need to slay a hundred Emperor Level demons?

Fortunately.

At least it’s within an acceptable range.

It was a good opportunity to test the level and composition of demons in the Divine Realm.

”In the Divine Realm, everyone can have a free awakening at the age of eighteen.”

”Our Demon Suppression City is under the jurisdiction of the Pantheon, so every year, they send people to conduct the awakening ceremony.”

”If the Law Crystal Stones are not gathered within three days, we can only wait until next year.”

Probably because Lin You was someone she summoned, Bai Linxue naturally trusted him, speaking without reserve.

And hearing her words, Lin You’s gaze focused.

Pantheon.

It seemed he had heard of a very formidable power.
