Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Among the forces rushing from other places, many of the small and medium forces were not qualified to see the King.

So when the Chaoyuan King appeared, it immediately caused a sensation.

Representatives from various forces, upon receiving the news, rushed over from all directions.

When they saw the Chaoyuan King making such a grand appearance at the founding ceremony, they were all astonished, wondering if something major had happened.

Families like the Li Family, being small and medium-sized, were so shocked that they retreated behind their carriage, fearing they would obstruct the King’s way.

However.

What Li Xingtai and his brother did not expect was.

Just as they were urgently making way, the Personal Guard seemed to have locked onto their direction and kept moving closer.

In no time, the entire large entourage arrived outside the small courtyard where they resided.

"Halt!"

With a single command, the entourage slowly came to a stop.

A unit of elite troops ran out from the rear, surrounding the Li Family courtyard tightly, blocking all their escape routes.

"This..."

"What on earth is going on??"

The two brothers were overwhelmed with fear, rendered senseless by the sudden situation.

Other force representatives watching on the side were also extremely surprised, unable to understand why the King would target such an unknown small family.

Before they could ponder further.

The space not far away suddenly twisted.

A middle-aged man wearing a dark gold dragon robe appeared within the encirclement, glaring intently at the Li Family entourage ahead.

"It’s really the Chaoyuan King!"

"He actually appeared!"

"What on earth is happening?"

The crowd exclaimed, immediately shocked by the terrifying aura emanating from Song Chaoyuan, quickly recognizing his identity.

The representatives from the small and medium forces were even more excited, never expecting to see this new King in person, was this a blessing from the heavens?

Needless to say, the Li Family members were.

They were all so weak-kneed that they nearly collapsed to the ground.

Li Xingtai and his brother stumbled out of the group, panicked and hurried to bow deeply before Song Chaoyuan.

"Greetings to Your Majesty the King!"

"Salutations to Your Majesty the King!"

At that moment, they were both excited and worried.

Completely unable to understand why the lofty King would appear here.

Could it be that their Li Family had made some mistake that angered the King?

"You may rise."

Against their expectations, Song Chaoyuan didn’t pay attention to them.

He merely raised his hand slightly to spare them the formalities and walked straight past them towards a humble carriage in the distance.

In the next second.

What shocked everyone happened.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

With a loud exclamation, Song Chaoyuan bowed deeply toward that carriage.

Boom!

The crowd erupted instantly, mouths agape, faces full of disbelief.

The dignified King, personally bowing, what kind of existence could be inside that carriage!?

Wait a minute.

Your Majesty?

Did the Chaoyuan King just refer to that person as Your Majesty?

Suddenly, some quick-thinking individuals realized, looking at that carriage in surprise and uncertainty.

The only one who could have the Chaoyuan King greet them personally and address them as Your Majesty in the entire Holy Protection Kingdom is none other than the ruler of the Holy Protection Kingdom, the Saintly Protection King!

Could it be...

Rustle!

Just as everyone was in shock, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a lazy figure appeared, stretching lazily.

He looked like he had just woken up not long ago.

Fighting day in and day out, Lin You hadn’t experienced a leisurely journey in a long time, and unknowingly fell asleep in the carriage.

Seeing this, Song Chaoyuan was immediately taken aback, and quickly ran to help him down from the carriage.

"Alright, alright, I just came here to take a casual look, there’s no need for such a grand setup."

Lin You waved his hand to stop his action, stepping out of the carriage.

Having reached Demigod strength now, even while napping, he had full perception of everything around him, so he naturally knew what was happening.

"Your Majesty has an exalted status, how can you sit in such a shabby carriage? You should have informed your subordinate earlier so that I could personally come to greet you."

Song Chaoyuan hurriedly said, frowning as he glanced at the entourage.

This glance made the Li Family members’ hearts race wildly, scared to death, nearly collapsing to their knees.

"Even if the carriage is worn-out, it’s still a carriage, why can’t I sit in it?" Lin You said nonchalantly. "And they were nice people, they kindly gave me a ride, which is a kind of fate."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is very instructive."

Song Chaoyuan nodded quickly, then escorted Lin You out.

Before leaving, he made eye contact with a confidant not far away, and only then did he leave with Lin You, disappearing into the entourage.

"Set off!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the Personal Guard moved again, majestically heading back towards the Imperial Palace.

Only after disappearing at the end of the long street did a confidant of Song Chaoyuan lead a unit to the stunned Li Xingtai and the others.

"May I ask, are you the head of the Li Family from Huayuan City?"

"Ah?... Oh, I’m Li Xingtai, the head of the Li Family, and this is my younger brother Li Xingrui. What does the lord wish to instruct?"

Li Xingtai reacted, asking nervously, thinking it was Song Chaoyuan sending someone to reprimand him.

Unexpectedly.

Just as he finished speaking, the person immediately waved his hand and laughed, "No need to be so formal, I am Gongsun Mao, the Commander of the King’s Personal Guard, sent by the King to invite you to temporarily stay at the residence and participate in the upcoming opening ceremony. May I ask if you are willing to grace us with your presence?"

Personal Guard Commander!

Li Xingtai and his companion’s expressions changed, showing an expression of shock.

They had heard of Gongsun Mao’s name before; he was undoubtedly a right-hand figure beside the King.

Many powerful factions wished to curry favor but couldn’t; now, he personally came to invite them?

Such an opportunity was something they never dared to dream of before, but now it suddenly came true!

Making them both shocked and extremely excited.

How could they not know they had met someone important?

Moreover, someone extremely important!

"Of course, we are willing! It’s our Li Family’s honor to receive your distinguished invitation!" Li Xingtai replied repeatedly.

Exchanging glances with Li Xingrui, they both noticed the excitement in each other’s eyes.

Then, under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, they led their convoy to leave with Gongsun Mao, heading to the capital’s most luxurious street, leaving behind a sea of envious and jealous glances.

Having connected with the Personal Guard Commander, it seemed the Li Family of Huayuan City would soar and rise to become one of the top forces within the Duchy.

Leaving those who mocked them before stunned, all standing incredulously.

Meanwhile, the news of the Saintly Protection King personally arriving at the capital spread like a hurricane, instantly sweeping through the entire capital, causing a stir among the major factions.

Who is the Saintly Protection King?

He controls the entire Holy Protection Kingdom, his power reaching Tier Eleven, a terrifying existence that even the Kings of various duchies must be respectful upon seeing!

Now suddenly descending upon the capital, how could they not be excited?

Soon, various factions started to move, preparing for the upcoming opening ceremony, hoping to leave a good impression in front of the Saintly Protection King.

This also made the entire capital become more lively.

...

Of course.

These did not attract much attention from Lin You.

After learning about the establishment of the duchy and some issues from Song Chaoyuan along the way, he arrived at the already prepared palace to rest, without much interference in the duchy’s affairs.

Even for the upcoming opening ceremony, he merely made an appearance and said a few encouraging words.

Then, under Song Chaoyuan’s respectful send-off, he left the duchy and proceeded to the next duchy.

Until evening.

He finished all his tasks and returned to his territory.

Opening the kingdom interface, he saw that the options for seven duchies had been added below, along with information about the daily income and faith each duchy provided him.

Lin You briefly observed.

Through joint recruitment in recent days, the number of Lords within each duchy has increased significantly, gradually moving onto the right track.

Counting his kingdom’s revenue, he now receives about 1 billion Magic Energy and 45 Rule Fragments daily, already very close to those veteran Kings’ level.

Bear in mind this is just the beginning. Moreover, he has only established seven duchies.

With the extra blessing from the Dominator’s Certificate, the Rule Fragments he obtains are more than those of an average kingdom.

Coupled with the Origin Universe now providing over 2200 pieces daily, it should take no more than three months to maximize his attribute enhancement.

"Three months?"

Lin You muttered as he looked at the interface in front of him.

Now, there are only about nine months left until the cycle opens, after deducting three months, only half a year remains.

Rising to the Emperor Level in half a year is likely not easy.

After all, killing a Tier Eleven is not something done casually, especially since the surviving Tier Elevens are still quite strong, with plenty of escape methods.

Unless caught off guard like before, and cooperates with a few top-tier experts, there might be a chance to kill.

It seems staying within the territory for too long isn’t feasible; continued hunting of Lord Demons is necessary.

Anyway, his current strength is already exposed, probably not many would keep an eye on him anymore.

The only ones worth noting are those Lords with Nine Divine Formats.

According to his estimate, he must maximize attribute enhancement and possess six Divine Formats to stand a fighting chance.

"Let’s take a look again tomorrow."

Gazing at the gradually darkening night outside, Lin You thought silently.

After all, Yan Lie’s opening ceremony is merely a formality, taking little time, leaving enough time for him to hunt many demons.

Having decided, he immediately called the kitchen, finished dinner, and returned to the usual palace to rest.

...

...

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Lin You collected Rule Fragments inside the Realm Sub-Space while attending the opening ceremonies of Yan Lie, Situ Jian, and Ji Yunshuang.

What surprised him greatly was.

Ji Yunshuang, who rose to Tier Ten, suddenly possessed three Divine Fragment pieces.

In addition to the Saint’s Path and the piece he sold to Ji Xinghe before, she managed to acquire another piece herself.

No wonder her figure was unseen lately, she had been out battling.

However, compared to Ji Yunshuang, Lin You was more shocked by Yan Lie and Situ Jian.

Yan Lie was fine, with at most two Divine Fragment pieces.

But Situ Jian was completely filled, newly breakthrough with nine Divine Fragment pieces!

Though Lin You no longer lacks Divine Fragment pieces, he was still stunned by this news.

Upon inquiry, he discovered it was the Canglang King who noticed his combat talent, intending to cultivate him heavily, giving him all stored Divine Fragment pieces to enhance his strength.

Initially, Lin You suspected if the Canglang King wanted to cultivate Situ Jian to Tier Eleven, only to kill him and seize the Divine Format.

Yet, after some probing, he learned that the Canglang King does not lack Insect Type Divine Formats.

Leaving him utterly perplexed, feeling something was not quite right.
