Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 422 - 418: Stronghold Keystone

"What’s happening?"

"Why is everyone being transported here?"

"Oh my! We’ve all been transported together!"

"Be careful!"

Exclamations continuously echoed across the battleground. The newly transported lords from various realms quickly noticed the anomaly and became vigilant.

The previously bustling base turned tense and on edge in an instant.

Some quickly found fellow lords from the same realm and gathered together, ready for battle.

But before they could make a move, a series of prompts suddenly rang out.

[Esteemed Lord, you have successfully arrived at the Tier Eight battlefield. ID: 000001]

[Battlefield task "Remnants of the Eternal Realm" initiated.]

[During the battlefield, your position will be attacked by forces from the Eternal Realm for three days.]

[Defeating enemies will earn you Magic Energy and Merit rewards. You can recruit species and exchange items through the base cornerstone.]

[If the base cornerstone is destroyed, the task fails, and you can no longer recruit species or exchange items.]

[Destroy the Eternal Realm’s forces’ cornerstone, task complete.]

...

Eternal Realm!

Upon hearing the prompt, all the lords were shocked.

This time, the main battlefield of the Ten Thousand Realms is actually within the realm that was destroyed just last month?

If that’s truly the case, then it’s not good.

Because as they understood, even after the realm’s luck is entirely deprived, the high-tier lords and cultivators on the continent don’t die immediately.

Instead, they are slowly eroded by the Aura of Chaos, eventually transforming into mindless demons.

This process takes at least a year.

Which means.

What they are about to face are the lords and cultivators of the Eternal Realm, who are already aware of their fate and driven to madness, along with their species!

"This..."

The lords looked at each other, nearly doubting what they heard.

Some appeared fearfully.

A dying soul doesn’t need much imagination to know how crazy they can be.

If the remnants of the Eternal Realm learn of their presence, they will fiercely attack them, attempting to drag everyone down with them.

This is a.

Battle between life and death!

"Everyone, listen to me first."

At this moment, a man in beast hide with fierce eyes stood up and shouted loudly.

The crowd snapped out of their daze and looked towards him.

"I believe everyone has heard, this time our enemy is the remnants of the Eternal Realm, and we also need to protect the base from being breached."

"So I suggest, within these three days, everyone should coexist peacefully and join forces against the enemy. Any conflicts can be addressed after the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms ends, which benefits everyone."

The man’s voice was very loud, quickly spreading across the vast battlefield.

It was evident that this person possessed a unique leadership quality, seemingly born to lead.

Moreover, his words made a lot of sense, causing most people to nod silently.

"Indeed, the rules of this battlefield clearly require us to defend the base and repel the Eternal Realm’s attack. We should temporarily unite."

"I agree with this proposal; only cooperation can accomplish this task."

"I also think cooperation is better."

"Since that’s the case, everyone should put aside conflicts for these three days and refrain from attacking each other."

The lords chimed in, echoing the man’s suggestion, and the previously tense atmosphere began to relax gradually.

Those who made it to Battlefield No.1 were not fools.

At least they could distinguish the importance of light and heavy matters, knowing what should and shouldn’t be done.

The emergence of this task allowed the lords from various realms to reach a rare consensus, no longer antagonizing each other.

As for whether it’s genuine cooperation...

That remains unknown.

Lin You scanned the lords around him, seeing different expressions and varied reactions on each face.

He didn’t believe these people would unite so easily.

It was merely a tactical delay to become familiar with the environment.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he scrutinized all the lords present and noticed that Michael from the Holy Light Realm and Elans from the Atlantis Realm were absent.

Even Li Ke and those previous Primordial Realm lords were nowhere to be seen.

It seemed they had already advanced to Tier Nine and moved to the Tier Nine battlefield, or they encountered an accident and perished.

Of these two possibilities, he leaned more towards the former.

After all, the strength of those individuals was apparent.

Especially Li Ke, as the Son of the Great Emperor, leveling up to Tier Nine would be incredibly easy; it was only a matter of whether he wanted to or not.

"Oh my! Things can be exchanged here!"

Suddenly, an exclamation interrupted everyone’s discussion.

A few lords closest to the center of the battlefield gathered before a sword shield statue, their faces full of excitement.

"Things can be exchanged?"

"Where? Where’s the exchange?"

"Let’s go over and take a look!"

The system prompt earlier had mentioned something about a base cornerstone, used to recruit species and exchange items.

It seemed it must be related to the sword shield statue.

Lin You didn’t hesitate and followed the crowd to the statue. Indeed, two functions, [Recruit] and [Exchange], popped up, similar to the Territory Core.

Recruiting, needless to say, was set up for lords to gather species.

As long as the cornerstone wasn’t destroyed, they could constantly replenish their species without worrying about running out of strength.

But once destroyed, the result would be different.

Absolutely a priority they must protect, not allowed to fail.

Lin You paused for a moment, then immediately opened the exchange function. A new interface appeared before him.

The interface was sparse, with only a few items.

However, when Lin You saw one particular item, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

[Name: Faith Treasure Pearl (High-level)]

[Introduction: Upon use, directly gains 1000 points of Power of Faith.]

[Requirements for exchange: 10 million Magic Energy, 10 points Battlefield Merit]

...

That’s right!

Exactly the Faith Treasure Pearl he desired the most.

Unexpectedly, it was available for exchange on the battlefield, and there was no limit to the exchange!

If he collected enough exchange resources, couldn’t he acquire a large amount of faith?

Lin You was thrilled and quickly opened the merit introduction on the interface.

[Battlefield Merit: Specific to Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, used to exchange various items; obtained by killing designated enemies.]

Designated enemies?

Were they referring to those Lords from the Eternal Realm?

If that’s the case, he must go out and find them later.

Closing the merit introduction, he continued to look at the other items.

Various battlefield treasure blind boxes like Sacred Artifacts, Species Secret Treasures, Scrolls, Artifacts... All randomly drawn.

Prices were identical to the Faith Treasure Pearl, each requiring 10 million Magic Energy and 10 points Battlefield Merit.

But the problem was, after entering the battlefield, all their magic energy was reset; they needed to go outside to hunt Demons to exchange.

Moreover, no one knew how much merit they could obtain from killing an enemy Lord, nor their exact number.

Given the preciousness of these treasures, they might not be very high. Must explore outside the position before other Lords.

Thinking so, Lin You directly closed the interface, preparing to look at other places in the position.

"Lin You, it’s really you."

Unexpectedly, a voice called out from a distance.

Lin You looked towards the sound, seeing two old acquaintances, Cyan Phoenix from the Beast God Realm and Tang Wentai from the Eternal Realm approaching.

"So it’s you. Last time you tricked me; I haven’t settled the score with you yet, and you just ran over yourself."

Lin You squinted at Cyan Phoenix, surrounded by flames.

Last time during the Mechanical Empire’s attack on the Main Brain Core, this guy struck him at the last moment, nearly causing him to miss the reward for the Tier Nine Lord Demon.

Meeting again now is fate.

"I don’t think that level of attack could do anything to you, plus in the end, you snatched the treasure and got away, didn’t you?"

Cyan Phoenix shrugged indifferently.

That battle, he actually suffered a loss, letting Lin You take advantage for free.

However, due to the Lord Demon’s Big Skills, he lost dozens of species, all fully experienced.

"Forget it, I don’t have time to settle this account for now. Let’s talk about you; what’s going on in the Eternal Realm?"

Lin You ignored Cyan Phoenix and turned to Tang Wentai, eyes sharp.

Cyan Phoenix was also stunned, looking at Tang Wentai.

Lately, the Eternal Realm and the Demon Origin Realm’s grand movements have been widely known.

Anyone with sense could see they were planning something significant.

Tang Wentai, as the top Tier Eight of the Eternal Realm, should know some information.

However.

What Lin You didn’t expect.

Faced with his questioning, Tang Wentai just smiled faintly: "Even if you asked me, it’s useless; we Lords beneath just follow orders."

"And I’m not concerned with that; I only care about when you’ll battle me again."

Evidently, he’s still holding a grudge over losing to Lin You last time on the battlefield.

"You’ve already been targeted by the Great Emperors from every realm; shouldn’t be able to stir anything else?" Cyan Phoenix scoffed.

"Don’t be so sure." Tang Wentai smiled strangely.

That disdainful appearance made Lin You secretly apprehensive.

Could the Realm Alliance still have other moves?

But before he could think much, Tang Wentai looked at him again.

"I’m waiting to compete with you again."

After speaking, he turned and left, heading outside the position.

Lin You and Cyan Phoenix watched his departing figure, frowning.

"What do you think?" Cyan Phoenix asked softly.

"Something’s off." Lin You responded solemnly.

"If you’re interested, I can collaborate with you to take him down, force him to speak."

"It’s challenging." Lin You shook his head.

It’s not about confidence in defeating Tang Wentai, but rather in extracting any useful information from him.

Moreover, he doesn’t trust Cyan Phoenix, much less consider collaborating again.

Or rather, in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, no one is trustworthy.

Even those from the same realm.

At this thought.

Lin You did not pay attention to Cyan Phoenix anymore and went straight to other places on the position to investigate.

Unnoticed, many Lords had been watching the three of them from the beginning.

"If I’m not mistaken, that should be Cyan Phoenix, Tang Wentai, and Lin You, right?"

"That person is Lin You?"

"Didn’t expect them to still be on this battlefield; better be cautious."
