Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Swish!

A burst of light appeared.

Lin You found himself in a space filled with blinding whiteness.

The place where he stood was a golden pathway that stretched endlessly to the world’s edge, leading to an unknown destination.

Could this be the fabled Heaven-Reaching Road that leads to that world?

Lin You was astonished and kept surveying his surroundings.

Yet he didn’t see any figure of a Great Emperor, suggesting that each person’s Heaven-Reaching Road was different, or perhaps the trials varied.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Lin You gazed through the corridor’s walls, looking outside with a face full of surprise.

He saw, in the center of a swirling Chaos Void, an independent space rapidly collapsing, becoming smaller and moving farther away.

It looked just like the Ten Thousand Realms on the brink of destruction.

No, wait.

That space seemed to be the Ten Thousand Realms Continent!

Startled, Lin You realized he had unconsciously detached from the Rules of the Ten Thousand Realms, arriving in a Chaos Void.

His only path was the Heaven-Reaching Road before him.

"The world where the Main God resides?"

Lin You murmured to himself, then shifted his gaze to the end of the pathway.

After taking a deep breath, he finally started moving forward slowly, heading to the other end of the Heaven-Reaching Road.

The surroundings were extremely quiet; apart from his breathing and footsteps, there was nothing else to be heard.

At that moment, he seemed like a lone traveler in a desert, not knowing what awaited him ahead.

But with the path behind him severed, to escape this place, he could only press on with determination, gradually leaving the collapsing Ten Thousand Realms Continent behind him.

And so, he walked for nearly three days.

A full three days.

In Lin You’s view, nothing changed—just endless whiteness and the infinite void outside the passage.

Even various information interfaces and the Origin Universe were sealed, making it impossible to check or summon species or use skills.

The only unaffected thing was the Time Law.

It felt as if he was in a void, where everything disappeared.

If it weren’t for the void outside the passage still flowing slowly, he might even think he had fallen into an infinite loop.

Again, he advanced for about three more days, but the scene around him remained unchanged, the passage eerily silent.

"Could this be the test of the Heaven-Reaching Road?"

Lin You furrowed his brow, finally ceased his slow progress, and exploded with power, sprinting down the Heaven-Reaching Road.

And then another three days passed.

Just as Lin You started to doubt whether he would be trapped here forever, he finally noticed something was off.

His power was diminishing as he moved forward!

Even the life-force within him was constantly draining away!

Though the process was very slow, his strong perception allowed him to vaguely sense it.

And when he stopped moving, the loss would immediately cease.

It was evident.

This must be part of the test of the Heaven-Reaching Road.

Or rather, it was the essential path for dimensional crossing.

Since he was in a game-like world, adopting a gameplay logic made it easy to grasp the crux of it.

Simply put, what he was doing was a process of crossing dimensions.

If energy conservation held true, entering a higher dimension required a substantial energy expense.

For instance, for an ant to become as big as a human, it must pay a massive price to do so.

That price was the life-force and power within them!

No wonder the Great Emperors said the odds of surviving the Heaven-Reaching Road were one in ten; now he understood.

Without sufficient strength, it was utterly impossible to cross this road, ultimately leading to depleting life-force and dying of old age along the way.

What a brutal test!

Lin You was utterly stunned; he finally understood why the Great Emperors desired the power of the Time Law so much.

By altering the Time Flow Speed with the Time Law, life-force and power loss could be significantly delayed. This was the key to crossing the Heaven-Reaching Road!

Lin You was immensely grateful.

Fortunately, he had this bug-like ability with the Time Law; otherwise, with his current strength, it would have been impossible to sustain to the end.

Realizing this, he no longer hesitated, immediately activating the Time Law to reduce the Time Flow Speed by ten times.

With a blast under his feet, he transformed into a stream of light, speeding forward.

When the Power of Rule was exhausted, he would stop to recover, then continue advancing.

Thus, continuing on this way, stop-and-go, after another twenty days.

Lin You’s strength had withered to a thousandth of its original state.

But his body and soul had become much more solid, seemingly touching upon a new level, filling him with anticipation.

"Boom!"

Yet at that moment, a loud rumble sounded.

The originally calm Chaos Void suddenly churned violently, forming terrifying torrents crashing madly against the Heaven-Reaching Road, causing the entire passage to tremble intensely.

Lin You turned his head, looking back to the starting point of the Heaven-Reaching Road, the center of this Chaos Void, and found that space was also beginning to collapse.

A force capable of destroying heaven and earth, centered where the Ten Thousand Realms Continent was, was devouring everything around it furiously.

In the end, it formed a massive Black Hole, swallowing up even the Heaven-Reaching Road, swiftly approaching him.

"Damn it!"

Lin You cursed inwardly. If he guessed correctly, it must be the disappearance of the World Core that caused this Creator’s soul world to begin to collapse.

It’s what people commonly refer to as the dispersal of the soul.

If he can’t manage to escape the Heaven-Reaching Road before the soul is completely dispersed, he fears he might be destroyed along with it!

Without daring to think further, he accelerated his Speed to the maximum, frantically racing along the Heaven-Reaching Road.

Meanwhile, his Power continued to diminish, from one-thousandth steadily approaching one-ten-thousandth.

Yet despite this, he still couldn’t match the collapse speed of the Chaos Void.

Within less than half a day, the terrifying devouring force appeared behind him, tearing the entire Heaven-Reaching Road into fragments and swallowing it whole, like a gigantic abyssal mouth.

"Faster!"

"Even faster!"

"Must catch up!"

Lin You shouted anxiously in his heart, not daring to glance back even once.

He could already feel a suction force pulling at him from behind; if he dared to look back, he feared he’d be sucked into a Black Hole, never to return.

Just then, at the end of the Heaven-Reaching Road, a golden light suddenly appeared, causing Lin You’s fleeing mind to tremble.

There’s no mistake about it.

That must be the exit of the Heaven-Reaching Road!

Suddenly, he unleashed all his potential, racing towards the golden portal at breakneck speed, excitement finally showing on his face.

"Boom!"

Unexpectedly, a loud noise resounded again.

The edge of the Chaos Void also began to collapse.

The last segment of the passage originally connecting to the void outside was suddenly engulfed by destructive force, severing its connection with the golden portal.

Lin You, in the midst of his escape, couldn’t even react as the terrifying space turbulence engulfed him, sweeping him in another direction.

Rampaging forces tore at his body furiously, turning him into a bloody figure in an instant.

"No! I cannot die yet!"

Seeing the golden portal getting farther away, Lin You roared furiously, enduring the intense pain to activate the Time Law, temporarily confining the surrounding turbulence.

Then, his eyes scanned around urgently.

Finally.

Not far from him, he discovered a rift emitting a faint light.

Clenching his teeth, he summoned all his strength and charged forward.

Boom!

The instant he touched the breath outside the rift, a majestic force enveloped him.

His body and soul, compressed to the extreme, finally erupted, as the Chaos Void in front of him began to shrink rapidly, turning into a particle of dust until it vanished.

Wrapped in a strange force, he crossed spatial layers, reconstituting his body and soul, as if his entire being had sublimated.

Who knows how long had passed.

When the sensation of solid ground returned, Lin You then realized he was standing atop a dazzling stone platform.

"Succeeded?"

Lin You looked around puzzlingly, without seeing the ascension array or any grand cathedral he imagined.

Only a simple stone platform, surrounded by numerous eyes, staring at him in shock.

Beside the stone platform stood a beautiful figure in a white dress, also staring at him blankly, as if viewing a monster.

"Human!"

"How could it be a human?"

"Actually summoned a human!?"

"Or is it a Humanoid Type species?"

Exclamations continued to arise nearby, reaching Lin You’s ears, causing his brow to furrow instantly.

Judging by this...

It seems he might have transported to the wrong place?

Lin You sensed that his body and soul had ascended to a whole new level, a qualitative change hard to describe, as if his life level had elevated.

Just then, a series of unfamiliar prompts suddenly resounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, you have successfully passed the trial of the Heaven-Reaching Road.]

[Life level increased, Level cap increased, Tier Twelve features unlocked...]

[Due to Rule changes, various features have altered, please check independently.]

[Welcome to the Main World: Divine Domain]

...

One prompt after another, leaving Lin You bewildered, seemingly trying to make up for everything missing when he ascended to Tier Twelve all at once.

It was precisely these prompts that confirmed for him he had broken through the spatial barrier and arrived in the world where the "Main God" resides.

And this world is named Divine Domain!

Is this the world beyond the Ten Thousand Realms?

Lin You’s heart trembled greatly, and he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, sensing that even the air here was different from that within the Ten Thousand Realms.

Unfortunately.

Before he could savor it for long, a hesitant voice suddenly came from the side.

"Excuse me... are you... the initial troop I summoned?"

Species?

What species?

Lin You turned suspiciously.

The next moment, he was stunned by the stunning visage before him.
