Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 490 - 485: Replacing Skills

Lin You was overjoyed.

Upgrading the Royal Species had always been his most troublesome problem, especially as they reached higher tiers, the resources needed for upgrading became increasingly exorbitant.

It was practically impossible to upgrade them through conventional means.

However, if there was an Upgrade Scroll, it would be different, at least it would save him a lot of resources.

Therefore, he was determined to pass this eleventh layer trial no matter what.

But before that, he had to accumulate more power.

Firstly, there were the corpses.

Whether they were Demon corpses or Species corpses, as long as they could trigger Bloody Frenzy, it was fine.

And they all had to be Tier Nine; otherwise, the energy contained in low-tier corpses was too low, making the enhancement effect very limited.

Next was the Power of Faith.

By obtaining Faith, the Lord’s basic strength itself would also improve.

From Lin You’s observations along the way, he found that after achieving full Faith, the Lord’s strength would be approximately equal to that of a Lord Demon of the same level, which meant an average of ten thousand points of Basic Attributes.

Plus the various enhancement auras from Sacred Artifacts, Divine Format, Skills, etc., he could almost reach an average of over twenty thousand attributes.

Only this way could he effortlessly defeat the Tenth Floor replica under the effect of Bloody Frenzy, leaving him with enough strength to enter the eleventh layer.

Otherwise, like earlier, a battle would leave him seriously injured, depleting the Power of Rule, making it impossible to defeat the two replicas on the eleventh layer.

"Only nine days left."

Lin You’s eyes were solemn as he took a deep breath.

Nine days was enough for him to do a lot of preparation.

On the last day, he could gather all his strength to strike the eleventh layer, and he had a great chance of succeeding.

With this thought, he was soon sent back to the surface by the Saint Radiance Emperor.

He wandered around the Primordial Realm’s team without finding Yan Lie and the others, then headed directly back to the War Camp.

On his way back, he finally had the chance to take out the two rewards he had obtained from the Tower of Fortune.

Faith Force and Rule Fragment.

No need to elaborate on the Rule Fragment, as a vital Tier Ten resource, its preciousness was absolutely unimaginable.

Moreover, because he had completed the Saint’s Path task, the rewarded Rule Fragment did not have "exclusive" written on it, meaning it could be used for trade.

After safely storing the Rule Fragment, Lin You looked at the other item.

A deep ball of light surrounded by gray aura.

Just holding it in his hand, he could feel an extremely dense Power of Faith continually flowing at his fingertips.

[Name: Faith Force]

[Grade: Rare]

[Effect: Use it to gain 10,000 points of Power of Faith.]

[Introduction: A miraculous World Original Force containing an exceptionally vast amount of Faith Power.]

Ten thousand points of Faith!

Lin You held his breath, delightedly looking at the information interface before him.

He hadn’t expected the reward for passing the Tenth Floor would be this.

This might not mean much for Lords above Tier Ten, but for him right now, it was absolutely a crucial support.

It immediately resolved his shortage of Faith!

Passing the Tenth Floor once would grant 10,000 Faith, if he could clear all days within the remaining nine days, it would total 100,000 Faith, which was simply a huge leap forward.

This definitely beats wandering around hunting down Realm Alliance Lords.

With this thought.

Lin You accelerated his pace, hurried back to the War Camp, transported directly into his Territory, and used the Faith Force beneath the World Tree.

In no time.

His Faith soared to 60,000, and his power increased slightly.

After accomplishing this, he opened the Duchy channel and glanced at it, discovering the Lords had already returned one after another from the Realm Battlefield, all discussing various topics about the Tower of Fortune.

"Haha, I passed the fifth layer and got a really powerful Territorial Sacred Artifact."

"That’s nothing; I passed the sixth layer and directly got rewarded with a Territory Upgrade Scroll."

"Wow! Doesn’t that mean you can directly elevate to Tier Seven?"

"So envious; I was eliminated on the third layer and don’t dare to speak."

"Same on the third layer; I can only strive harder tomorrow to reach higher layers."

"By the way, does anyone know who the Tier Nine heavyweight is that climbed to the eleventh layer?"

"Well, it’s definitely not anyone from our Duchy; probably one of the top leaders from some Empire?"

The "chief" usually refers to the highest-ranked Lord within a country.

Figures who could ascend to the eleventh layer with Tier Nine bodies were certainly beyond the reach of those who usually climbed only five or six levels.

Thus, many Lords only took it as a casual conversation topic, quickly buried under more discussions about the Tower of Fortune.

"Lord, someone seeks an audience."

At that moment, a voice called outside the Territory.

Xue Changgui, accompanied by several stewards, stood quietly outside the Vine Forest of Cyan Rattan.

"Come in."

With a thought, Lin You commanded Cyan Rattan to make a path for them.

Soon, Xue Changgui and the stewards passed through the forest to stand before him, reporting the construction progress of the new city district during this period.

It made Lin You very surprised.

Less than two months have passed, and the infrastructure of the new city district is basically completed. Walls have been started twenty kilometers outside the forest, encompassing the entire city district for protection.

Currently, the districts of Yellow Sand City are divided into the forest’s central district located within the forest and the outer district outside the forest.

The range at both ends of the district stretches nearly fifty kilometers.

It’s gradually taking the shape of a million-level city.

At the heart of his territory stands the World Tree, located in the center of the entire city, visible as soon as one enters the outer district.

"Well done, once the facilities are further improved, people can gradually be moved there," Lin You nodded with satisfaction after hearing the report from Xue Changgui and others.

With the expansion of the territory, his speed of gaining Faith Power will also increase significantly, naturally, he can’t be careless.

"The swift accomplishment of this goal is due to the abundant funds provided by you, Lord," Xu Zhong said respectfully from the side.

"There’s one more thing,"

Xue Changgui spoke up again.

"Recently, many families, academies, and cultivation sects from the Capital wish to set up a presence in our Yellow Sand City, and there are quite a few Tier Nine powerhouses. What do you think, Lord?"

"The Capital’s forces?" Lin You raised an eyebrow, "If they want to settle in, let them do so. More Tier Nine cultivators will benefit the defense of our city district."

"I’ll be going out frequently for a while, so let Shadowless lead a team to negotiate with you."

"If anyone defies rules, don’t hesitate, use them as an example."

His Royal Species now, although they can’t speak, possess highly advanced wisdom and can independently lead a team without any issues.

Moreover, within the territory range, species attributes are also enhanced, dealing with Tier Nine cultivators poses no difficulty at all.

"But... they come from the Capital’s major forces, killing them might have bad consequences," Xue Changgui expressed concern.

"It’s alright, if anyone defies rules or causes trouble, just deal with them," Lin You waved his hand, "Now is a critical time to establish order, being too lenient will just make them restless, I’ll handle the Capital side."

"Understood!"

Xue Changgui and the others quickly responded.

With Lin You’s assurance, they had no worries left, boldly proceeding with their tasks.

That’s it.

After discussing some trade planning and transportation routes for the city district, Xue Changgui and others hurriedly took their leave to continue overseeing work inside the city.

Meanwhile, Lin You was unaware.

While he was dealing with territory matters.

In the Capital of the Great Wilderness Duchy, the King suddenly issued an emergency decree, stating that all interactions between the Capital and Yellow Sand City will be under the Capital’s protection.

This decree immediately caused an uproar in the entire Duchy’s central region.

All interactions being protected is outright visible support, also representing the King’s attention towards Yellow Sand City.

This prompted forces that previously dismissed Yellow Sand City as a "remote city" to sound the alarms, sensing something unusual.

It’s noteworthy.

Even Tier Nine Lords holding positions under the King have never received such treatment.

Let alone this decree being issued personally by the King.

Therefore, soon, the higher-ups of various forces began to warn their subordinates to absolutely not cause trouble in Yellow Sand City.

Especially those forces preparing to develop branches in Yellow Sand City received multiple warnings, urging them to behave properly within Yellow Sand City.

Some even specifically brought gifts over for this.

Of course.

These tasks were left for the people below to handle.

As the Lord, Lin You naturally didn’t have time to deal with such minor matters.

After assigning all tasks, he continued to busy himself within the territory, preparing for the upcoming battles.

...

In a blink.

A night passed.

As dawn broke, Lin You got up, washed, had a simple breakfast, then directly teleported to the War Camp.

Today he needed to pass the Tenth Floor trial again to get rewards, so he must gather more corpses on time.

As for the source of corpses, he would have to check the Tower of Fortune.

"Lin You."

As he was thinking, a voice called out.

Ji Yunshuang, dressed in light yellow attire, had just teleported from the territory as well.

"You’re here so early too?" Lin You stepped forward to greet her.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, he suddenly thought of something.

If her Holy Arbitrator species’ Doomsday Countdown Skill could be replicated by Heaven-Devouring, it might greatly assist him in passing the trial.

With the increase in species quantity, the Summoned Flower Sea Skill no longer holds much value for him.

Once the Doomsday Countdown Skill is replicated, it would be equivalent to gaining another chance to restore his state fully.

"What’s on your mind? You’re so absorbed,"

Seeing Lin You standing still, Ji Yunshuang couldn’t help but ask in puzzlement.

"Oh, it’s nothing, just something I wanted to ask for your help with," Lin You returned to his senses and quickly said.

"You want my help?"

"Yes, you have a Holy Arbitrator species, right? I’d like to ask for a species corpse if that’s convenient?"

"So that’s all, I thought it was something major, of course, no problem," Ji Yunshuang smiled gently.

She didn’t question why Lin You’s species could replicate Angel Type skills, nor did she need to ask.

What she cared about, instead, was Lin You’s request for her help.

It’s rare for him to seek assistance.
