Chapter 573: Chapter 573 - 567: Seed of the World
Under the leadership of the Clan Leader of the Guardian Race, Qin Shentian, the group quickly entered the inner region of the Guardian Race, passed through several residences, and arrived near the center of this Floating City.
While on the way, the emperors from the Anti-Alliance Camp gathered, seemingly discussing something.
When Saint Radiance Emperor returned, his face was already filled with an undisguisable smile.
"Kid, guess what I just got?"
Saint Radiance said mysteriously.
Got what?
Could it be...
Lin You was shocked, his breathing became rapid.
"Great Emperor, could it be... a Divine Fragment?"
When the emperors were discussing earlier, there were obvious signs of disagreement. They occasionally glanced toward their Tier Ten team, seemingly contemplating something.
So it was very likely about deciding on the rewards.
"Heh, heh, you guessed right, here you go, it’s what you deserve."
As Saint Radiance spoke, he turned his palm, and an irregular crystal of seven-colored glass appeared before Lin You, instantly attracting the attention of all the lords nearby.
Divine Fragment!
Lin You was overjoyed beyond expectations.
It seems that his performance at the conference today made the emperors have to acknowledge his contribution.
Looking at the seven-colored crystal within reach, Lin You took a deep breath, and amidst the envious gazes of the people beside him, he slowly accepted it.
"Thank you, Great Emperor."
Expressing his gratitude, a prompt quickly sounded in his mind.
[Do you wish to absorb the Divine Fragment? Once absorbed, it cannot be changed, please decide carefully.]
"Absorb!"
With a thought, Lin You directly chose to absorb.
In the next second.
The crystal in his hand shone brightly, bursting with dazzling radiance, and then floated up gently, slowly merging into his body.
He felt a surge of enormous power throughout his body, causing all his abilities to skyrocket.
[Fusion successful, the attributes of the Divine Fragment have changed, please check on your own.]
As the prompt sounded, Lin You quickly opened his personal interface to take a look.
[Name: Lin You (Lord)]
[Race: Human]
[Occupation: Spirit Master]
[Level: Tier Ten (8/10)]
[Power: 67512 (+54010)]
[Constitution: 100000 (+96000)]
[Agility: 67512 (+54010)]
[Spirit: 85000 (+68000)]
[Basic Skills: Double Mutation, Power of Rule, Space Travel, Rule Transformation]
[Divine Power: All attributes +80%]
[Racial Talent: Constitution +16%, Recovery Speed +16%]
[Introduction: Lord Attribute Interface, records the specific strength and various skills of the lord, unlockable for Tier Ten Lords.]
The fusion of the eighth Divine Fragment directly boosted his attributes by 10%.
This is just the most basic effect.
The increase of Divine Fragments will also enhance his skill power, equipment effects, and species attributes.
The most important thing is that the range of the Origin Universe increased to 800 kilometers, greatly expanding his space travel distance.
Lin You calmed his mind to look at the expanded Origin Universe and found that indeed, there were hundreds of new Initial Star Systems inside.
Although they have not yet nurtured life to provide him with faith, their potential is definitely limitless.
When the entire starry sky breeds advanced civilizations, he cannot imagine how much Power of Faith it will provide him.
This gave him an inexplicable feeling.
The evolution of the universe by the Origin Space seems not to be something he should possess at his level, nor should it exist on the Ten Thousand Realms Continent.
A coincidence of fate?
Or some kind of inevitability?
Lin You couldn’t figure it out, truly aligning with that saying.
The stronger you become, the more you realize your ignorance.
And just as he was contemplating this, seven-colored glows began to light up in other parts of the team.
Just like him, four other Tier Ten Lords also received the Divine Fragments rewarded by the emperors, likely the best performers during this period.
A reward of five Divine Fragments at once, what a grand gesture.
It seems the emperors truly value this Seed of the World.
"Brother You, congratulations, congratulations, you got another new Divine Format."
At this moment, Li Ke came over to offer his congratulations.
Lin You looked at him and smiled slightly: "Didn’t you also get one?"
"Yes, I can’t fall too far behind Brother You," Li Ke said arrogantly.
Then.
The two continued with the team, chatting about the events of the conference earlier.
They didn’t notice that in another part of the Realm Alliance’s team, the lords were watching them with serious expressions.
"That monster actually got another Divine Fragment."
"With seven Divine Fragments before, his strength was already so monstrous. Now it’s bound to be even more terrifying."
"Make sure not to encounter him on the battlefield, or else there will be trouble."
"Hah, what’s the big deal? He only won today because he didn’t encounter the truly formidable ones."
"Exactly, with such high profile, sooner or later someone from Tier Eleven will be sent to deal with him."
A few Tier Ten Lords from the Realm Alliance spoke coldly, their voices low and not reaching Lin You’s side.
Meanwhile, the Tier Eleven Kings who had received the news from a distance stared intensely at Lin You, a strange smile on their faces.
"It seems a new Tier Eleven is about to be born," one of the kings said nonchalantly.
"Yes, it’s been a long time since a new Tier Eleven has risen."
"And it’s a Plant Type, just what I need for a Plant Divine Format."
"As if anyone wouldn’t need one."
In their conversation, they cast their gaze again on Lin You, eyes gleaming as if looking at prey.
It seemed they had no immediate plans to eliminate the "threat" that Lin You posed.
Because with the strength Lin You had shown, ascending to Tier Eleven was inevitable.
They couldn’t pass up such an easily available Plant Divine Format.
This was the cruel nature of the rules of this world.
If you observe carefully, you’ll find that among the Tier Eleven of both camps, it’s rare to see a king with even one complete Divine Format.
Those who remain have at least three or more fragments, each immensely powerful.
This is why many old Tier Ten kings hesitate to ascend to Tier Eleven, often waiting until their life is nearly at its end to upgrade.
Because as soon as you rise up.
You will become prey to those veteran Tier Elevens!
Of course.
These currently have nothing to do with Lin You, as he still lacks two fragments to upgrade.
Thus, he continued with the group along the way.
After nearly half an hour, they finally arrived at the center of the Floating City, where a heavily guarded massive tree platform surrounded by Life Aura awaited them.
"Here we are."
Just then, the leader Qin Shentian called out, and the entire group came to a halt, all staring in awe at the scene before them.
This tree platform, capable of accommodating thousands, was formed by the crown of the World Tree, protected by layers of dense Defense Arrays.
The array’s light shot skyward, piercing into the vast void above, as if ready to suppress any malevolent thought on the spot.
And at the center of the platform, a sapling taller than a person had grown, with a scintillating seed floating atop, exuding an intense Life Aura.
Surrounding the seed, the space was pitch-black, dotted with starlight, resembling galaxies that swirled around the seed unceasingly.
The whole tree platform seemed to be a world of its own.
"The Seed of the World!"
The hearts of the Great Emperors trembled, and a gleam of greed burst in their eyes.
Though they were seeing the Seed of the World for the first time, they immediately recognized it as the divine object that could grant them mastery of the Power of Rule!
But soon.
Before they could rush forward to seize it, an elder with a cane materialized beside Qin Shentian.
No!
It should be said the elder had been there all along.
He simply went unnoticed, as if merged with the world itself.
Even the Great Emperors only noticed him after he exuded his aura.
How powerful!
The Great Emperors were shocked, instantly extinguishing their thoughts of seizing the Seed of the World.
Because they were certain that if they acted now, the elder would suppress them instantly.
This person.
Was none other than the first Clan Leader of the Guardian Race, Qin Lan.
Recognized as the foremost figure of the Realm, his terrifying strength had almost reached the pinnacle of this world, such that even beings like the Dragon Emperor dared not act rashly.
"Greetings, Progenitor."
Qin Shentian respectfully saluted Qin Lan.
Qin Lan slightly raised his hand and glanced at everyone present.
"All those chosen by the World Tree have the opportunity to touch the Seed of the World, so come with me."
There were no intimidating words, nor any warnings.
Merely the aura emanating from him pressured everyone to follow him, passing through the Defense Array into the platform.
But if you observe carefully, you’ll notice.
At this moment, within the Anti-Alliance Camp’s team, a person’s expression turned extremely strange, staring in astonishment at the Seed of the World at the center of the platform.
Is this the Seed of the World?
Lin You’s face displayed a rich array of emotions.
Because he found that this so-called Seed of the World was remarkably similar to his Origin Universe.
Also surrounded by galaxies, also a world of its own.
The only difference was that his "sapling" had grown into a towering tree, whereas the one before him was still just a seed.
Moreover, he sensed that there were few signs of life in the cosmic space around the Seed of the World.
It was like a desolate domain nearing its end, or a microcosm of the entire Life Realm.
As he pondered.
The group, under Qin Lan’s guidance, reached the Seed of the World.
Before they could react, the floating Seed of the World suddenly emitted a dazzling Life Radiance, enveloping them all.
However, as this Life Radiance spread out and reached Lin You at the back of the group, it suddenly fluctuated violently.
Even the World Tree itself began to tremble in response.
Waves of even thicker Life Aura spread from the Seed of the World, expanding across the entire Life Realm.
"What’s happening? Why is the World Tree reacting so intensely this time?"
Even Qin Lan, seasoned by the vicissitudes of time, was shocked by this sudden anomaly, frowning tightly.
Everyone in Origin City looked up at this seemingly miraculous sight, some directly kneeling, worshiping the World Tree with utmost reverence.
However, those near the Seed of the World were oblivious to this spectacle.
Because they were already encased in a force that transported them to a mysterious Independent Space.
