Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 330 - 328: Secrets of the Myriad Races, Origin of the Royal Family

The young man instinctively gasped, catching Lin You’s attention.

He quickly stored all of the Royal Species into the Origin Space, his expression turning somewhat unfriendly.

Ever since he encountered the Celestial Demon known as "Celestial Saint" in the desert area last time, Lin You had been intentionally hiding his Royal Species.

Before Tier Seven.

The Lord couldn’t reach the Main Demon Plane, had no chance to encounter those Celestial Demons’ true forms, and naturally didn’t know the significance of the Royal Family.

But it’s different after Tier Seven.

Even though the chance of encountering a Celestial Demon’s true form is low, it doesn’t mean someone hasn’t seen it.

Before figuring out how this is related to his Royal Species, he didn’t want others to know that he possessed Royal Species.

Even usually.

He relied on a massive number of Species to cover the presence of the Royal Family, or to block the investigative sight of other Lords.

Unexpectedly.

There really was someone who knew about the Royal Family, causing a flicker of murderous intent in his heart.

The Plant Type young man sensed his change in expression, became startled inside, and realized he had accidentally said something he shouldn’t have.

He quickly said, "Don’t misunderstand, I just heard about this from my Empress Mother."

Empress Mother?

Could this guy be the Son of the Great Emperor?

If that’s indeed the case, then this is quite tricky.

Lin You’s heart grew heavier.

After all, they belonged to the same continent. If he did anything to this guy, there would be nowhere to run.

"Which Great Emperor’s son are you?" Lin You couldn’t help but ask.

"The Xiang Yue Emperor is my mother. My name is Li Ke."

The young man quickly replied, without any arrogance due to his status.

Instead, his eyes shone with admiration as he looked at Lin You.

"Xiang Yue Emperor?"

Lin You’s eyes moved.

He had heard of the Xiang Yue Emperor’s title before.

She was one of the few female Great Emperors on the Primordial Continent.

The Xiangyue Empire she ruled was located in the southern part of the Primordial Continent, a quarter of a continent away from the Holy Radiance Empire.

He didn’t expect this Great Emperor to have a son, and one about the same age as himself.

It’s just...

Why does this Great Emperor’s son seem so improper?

While thinking.

Li Ke continued, "Brother, you were amazing just now, managing to subdue so many Lords at once—was that the power of the Roy...?"

His words were filled with astonishment and excitement.

As if he had seen something unbelievable.

Upon hearing this, Lin You frowned slightly; this son of the Great Emperor clearly knew about the Royal Family matters.

He had many questions he wanted to ask but didn’t ask directly; instead, he glanced silently at the three people behind Li Ke.

To his surprise.

Li Ke’s ability to read expressions was quite keen.

With just a look, he seemed to understand what was on Lin You’s mind.

He hesitated for a moment, then immediately turned around to say to his companions, "Let’s wrap up our actions for today. I need to discuss something with this brother here. We’ll regroup at the usual spot tomorrow morning."

"Alright, take care of yourself."

"I need to go back to the territory to replenish forces."

"We’ll see you tomorrow then."

After the recent battle, they had lost quite a few Species.

It wasn’t a good idea to stay outside any longer.

So after bidding farewell to Li Ke and giving a deep look at Lin You, the three of them left with their remaining Species.

One of them even activated a Teleportation Array and disappeared instantly.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk where there aren’t people."

Lin You glanced at the cautious Lords in the distance and said.

"I’ll follow your arrangement, Brother." Li Ke said with a grin, quickly bringing his Species to catch up with Lin You, then he asked, "Brother, I still don’t know your name."

"Lin You."

"Lin You? Then I’ll call you Brother You from now on."

"..."

Lin You didn’t say anything, considering it as tacit approval.

This son of the Great Emperor’s way of doing things was really a bit unexpected for him.

However, he wasn’t worried about being betrayed under the guise of familiarity.

With his current level of perception, he could easily chop this guy’s head off before he made a move.

So the two of them remained peaceful.

They continued walking until they reached a place with no other people; then Lin You stopped and said:

"Alright, there’s no one else here. Tell me everything you know about the Royal Family, okay?"

"Of course, no problem." Li Ke nodded repeatedly.

Lin You had solved a crisis for them earlier, doing them a big favor, and this was a debt of gratitude that needed repaying.

Thinking for a moment, he said, "I don’t really understand much about the Royal Family. I just overheard my mother mention it once by chance."

"She said that ten thousand years ago, there appeared a genius Lord who suppressed the Ten Thousand Realms. In less than a decade, he charged into the Emperor Realm. It’s said that he eventually even surpassed the Emperor Realm, reaching a level we can’t imagine."

"And the Species he carried were of the Royal Family!"

Li Ke narrated everything he knew vividly to Lin You.

His face was full of admiration and longing.

To suppress the Ten Thousand Realms single-handedly, the spirit involved was thrilling just to think about, making one unable to contain their excitement.

But little did he know.

Upon hearing his account, Lin You’s brows furrowed.

Ten thousand years ago?

Suppressing all heavens?

Could the Royal Species possibly be related to such a formidable existence?

This isn’t good news.

In this case.

If the Great Emperors of other realms find out, they’ll probably try to take him out before he grows up, just to prevent future troubles.

But the problem is, he doesn’t feel like he’s someone blessed by fortune, chosen to suppress the heavens of the Ten Thousand Realms.

If he were to be wrongly killed because of this, wouldn’t that be an unjust death?

If possible, he wouldn’t even want to have the slightest connection with characters from ten thousand years ago.

"And then? Where is that person now?" Lin You asked.

"I don’t know." Li Ke shrugged, "That’s all I heard, after all, it was so long ago, my mother wasn’t even born then."

He answered while constantly sizing up Lin You.

It was as if he wanted to glean something from him.

After a while, he finally couldn’t resist bowing his head to ask, "Bro, could you be that amazing senior reincarnated, undergoing the reincarnation of ten thousand years to unite the Ten Thousand Realms?"

"..."

Lin You’s face was covered with black lines.

He can pretty much confirm now that this guy isn’t pretending.

But instead has a really serious case of middle school syndrome!

Seeing that he was silent, Li Ke actually got more excited and continued, "Don’t doubt it, there’s really a saying about reincarnation in our Ten Thousand Realms."

"Reincarnation? How so?"

Lin You was finally intrigued, looking at him curiously.

After all, he was the Son of the Great Emperor, no matter how much he indulged in fantasies, the breadth of his experiences could not be compared to a scattered Lord like him.

Li Ke seemed quite talkative.

Upon being asked, he immediately animatedly said:

"In our Ten Thousand Realms, besides the Taichu, Origin, Holy Light, Void, Beast God, Calamity, Elemental Spirit, Eternal, Demon Yuan, Atlantis, the Ten Great Realms, there are three very special realms, where no Lords exist, completely beyond the Rules of the Ten Thousand Realms."

"Such places exist?"

"Yes, these three realms are located near the largest realm in the Ten Thousand Realms, the Taichu Realm, namely the Life, Death, and Reincarnation Realms."

"Life, Death, Reincarnation..."

Lin You murmured to himself, a strange gleam sparking in his eyes.

This was his first time hearing about the inner secrets of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Even the names of the Ten Great Realms were completely new to him, naturally feeling intrigued.

In other words.

The Taichu Realm is the realm standing at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Realms?

But why has he never seen a Lord from this realm?

As if knowing his inner doubts.

Li Ke then continued, "Taichu Realm, as an entity connecting the three realms, is actually, in a sense, also beyond the Ten Thousand Realms."

"Because the people there are specifically responsible for managing the entrance to the Life and Death Reincarnation Realms."

"And the number of Great Emperors there is absolutely the highest in the Ten Thousand Realms, yet they rarely handle matters of other realms, so no one has been able to explore those three realms."

"Not even the Great Emperors of other realms?" Lin You was shocked.

"No." Li Ke shook his head, "My mother says the entrances to those three realms were all closed ten thousand years ago, even the Great Emperors can’t enter them, as if they’ve been isolated from the other realms."

"Isolated, huh..."

Lin You’s expression slightly tightened, surprised yet again.

Unexpectedly, in these Ten Thousand Realms, there were so many things he didn’t know.

Although these things have nothing to do with him in the short term, they still satisfy his curiosity greatly, and he has gained deeper insights into the other realms.

Simply put.

Useless knowledge has increased...

Alright.

It’s somewhat useful, actually.

After briefly organizing the information, he looked up and said, "Thank you for telling me all this."

"No worries, Brother You, you’re destined to rule the Ten Thousand Realms. When you make it big, just don’t forget your little brother here." Li Ke grinned.

"..."

"Oh right, regarding the Royal Family, I’ll keep it confidential for you. Besides, if you don’t want others to see your Royal Family information, you can visit the Elf Empress in the Elf Forest, maybe she can help."

"Are you sure?"

Lin You’s eyes shined.

He had been waiting for this information.

"Shouldn’t be wrong." Li Ke nodded, "Over a month ago, the Elf Empress came to see my mother, asking about the Royal Family, that’s when I found out too."

Over a month ago...

Wasn’t that exactly when he went to the Elf Forest?

Lin You felt amazed.

Could it be.

When his Royal Species was forcefully summoned back then, the Elf Empress was present?

Looking back now, it’s very possible.

Otherwise, just relying on a mere mark, those elves probably wouldn’t treat him so politely, it was likely due to a direct order from the Elf Empress.

Could it be.

That the Elf Empress had even foreseen him returning to the Elf Forest?

If that’s the case, then this Elf Empress is quite terrifying.

No.

It should be said that Emperor-level powerhouses are terrifying!

No wonder they completely grasped the Rules, their computational abilities are too incredible.

Thankfully, she didn’t show any malice.

Otherwise, he might not have safely made it here.

It seems after this Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms ends, he must visit the Elf Forest promptly, to prevent nightmares from arising in the night.

And so.

After chatting with Li Ke about other things and learning about their situation on the battlefield.

Lin You parted ways with him, bringing his species to continue exploring the depths of the battlefield.

In his hand, he now held a scroll.

A Battlefield Treasure that Li Ke promised to hand over as long as they were rescued.
