The changes in divine format and personal attributes greatly exceeded Lin You’s expectations, leaving him utterly surprised.

After a long time, he finally collected himself and opened the territory interface to check.

[Name: World Tree (Territory)]

[Category: Plant Type]

[Level: Tier Eleven]

[Durability: 250,000/250,000 (+10,000)]

[Recruitment Number: 19,000/25,000 (+2,500)]

[Upgrade Requirements: 500 billion Magic Energy, 5 million Rule Fragments, Plant (1/1), Humanoid (0/1), Humanoid (0/1), Wild Beast (0/1), Insect (0/1), Undead (0/1), Mechanical (0/1), Element (0/1), Angel (0/1), Demon (0/1)]

[Introduction: Territory Core, equipped with various functions.]

...

As expected, just as he knew, to ascend to emperor level at Tier Eleven, one must collect divine formats of ten elements.

Moreover, 500 billion Magic Energy and 5 million Rule Fragments are required, a resource that is simply intimidating.

Among all these resources, only Magic Energy is relatively easier to obtain, but even so, it would require exhausting his resources.

Especially with the upgrade, he is now left with about 300 billion, which must be reserved for crafting legendary species at Tier Eleven.

In addition, the mutation of the eleventh royal family consumes a significant amount of resources, creating a feeling of expenditure exceeding income.

"It seems necessary to establish a few duchies as soon as possible."

Staring at the interface before him, Lin You fell into deep thought.

As long as there are enough duchies below, the Magic Energy and faith he receives daily are sure to greatly increase.

Especially now that the area of his kingdom has expanded tenfold, resource acquisition should surely increase by at least tenfold as well.

With this decision made, he wasted no time and accelerated to continue examining changes in the Origin Space.

[Name: World Tree (Origin)]

[Category: Plant Type]

[Level: Tier Eleven (1/10)]

[Range: 10,000 kilometers]

[Talent Effect: Constitution +20%, Recovery Speed +20%]

[Abilities: Soul Domain, Racial Talent, Summoning Space, Storage, Sumeru Space, Space Passage (Can construct space passages within Origin Space scope, continuously consuming power of rule.)]

[Introduction: Condensed by the soul, when grown to a certain extent, can evolve into a realm.]

[Note: Click here to expand talents of each type]

The scope of the Tier Eleven Origin Space directly expanded to 10,000 kilometers, spanning across areas equivalent to two or three pre-upgrade Saint Protection Duchies, additionally comprehending a skill called "Space Passage."

No wonder back then when the Saint Radiance King hadn’t ascended to emperor level, he casually summoned a space passage to capture him, it was because of this ability.

However, it’s different now.

The tables have turned, having endured for so long, it’s finally his turn to capture others.

For reasons unknown, Lin You felt a sense of pride and relief.

He then calmed his mind and entered the Origin Universe, only to be stunned by the sight before him.

The scope of the expanded by tenfold Origin Universe has escalated the number of star systems to an astonishing degree, forming splendid star rivers in this dark void.

Under the World Tree at the center of the universe, a vibrant green land was born, shrouded by a semi-circular light screen emanating from the top of the World Tree, isolated from the myriad star systems outside.

It appears as if a miniature continent, forming a higher-dimensional space at the center of the universe.

Yet, at the moment, this "continent" has not yet nurtured any life, with only ten royal families and plant species wandering around playfully.

This is not what shocked Lin You the most.

The most shocking aspect was the branch of the World Tree. In addition to the 2,000 Faith Fruits, it bore a crystal radiating a seven-colored glimmer.

Indeed!

It turned out to be a real divine fragment!

Simply hanging quietly on the branch of the World Tree, standing out among a multitude of Faith Fruits.

On the World Tree.

Unexpectedly grew a divine fragment!?

Even Lin You, accustomed to seeing significant waves and storms, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He immediately approached the faintly glowing divine fragment to examine the information.

[Divine Fragment (Unformed): Crystal condensed by rule power, only birthed in relatively complete worlds, requiring a long time to nurture, usable after peeling.]

It really is a divine fragment!

Lin You stared shocked at the information interface.

Although it’s just an unformed divine fragment, it perfectly resembles the divine fragments they fused with.

This raised even more questions in his mind.

Exactly what level of existence is this Origin Universe, capable of even condensing divine fragments?

If other Lords found out, it would surely stir up a grand commotion across the Ten Thousand Realms Continent.

But simultaneously, it made him thrilled.

Because this provided him with an additional means to rapidly cultivate trusted followers.

He’s just uncertain about how long the formation cycle for this divine fragment will be, necessitating close attention in the future.

After closely observing the half-formed divine fragment for a while longer, Lin You exited the Origin Universe, striving to soothe his excited heart.

Then he looked at the newly obtained "Demigod" title.

[Demigod (Title): Kingdom Faith Acquisition +50%, effective simultaneously with other titles.]

Not bad.

Adding this title to the Dominator’s Certificate and National Treasure is equivalent to a 2.5 times increase in faith acquisition speed.

According to the duchy’s faith acquired tenfold at 200,000 daily, that amounts to 500,000 faith, equivalent to 50 pieces of Rule Fragment.

Of course, the premise is that he must have at least nine duchies under him.

Round and round, it returned to supporting the duchy.

Once this affair is over, swiftly convene a congress to summon the Tier Nine Lords and several close confidants from the duchy.

Lin You thought silently in his heart.

At that moment, the space not far from him suddenly cracked open.

"Boy, so it was you upgrading to Tier Eleven!"

Before the figure appeared, the voice of the Saint Radiance Emperor was already heard.

Then, in a flash, the formidable presence of the Saint Radiance Emperor appeared within Lin You’s territory.

"Your Majesty, why have you come?" Lin You hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Do you think I wouldn’t come? Advancing to Tier Eleven is such a significant matter, and you didn’t even inform me!" The Saint Radiance Emperor glared at him sharply.

Then, an immense perception swept over, and upon sensing Lin You’s internal aura, a faint smile finally appeared on his face.

"Not bad, although a bit rushed, it should be manageable."

"Manageable? What do you mean?" Lin You asked in confusion.

"It’s nothing much, hasn’t it been said that you’ve been preparing to upgrade to Tier Eleven? So I used some small methods to get you another Elemental Divine Fragment. I was planning to give it to you when you upgraded, but you went ahead without a word. Do you know many are watching?"

The Saint Radiance Emperor said with evident dissatisfaction.

As someone who had experienced the peril of becoming a new Tier Eleven, he understood it clearly.

Typically, when someone in their ranks was advancing to Tier Eleven, Emperors would provide substantial resource support to help them through the most challenging early stages.

Lin You, being the most promising person under his guidance to become an Emperor, naturally required significant support to avoid premature demise.

"Another Elemental Divine Fragment?!"

Upon hearing his words, Lin You’s heart trembled with excitement.

"Here, I specifically prepared it for you."

Without much talk, the Saint Radiance Emperor tossed a delicate jade box to Lin You.

"There are rules in the Realm stating that Emperor Levels cannot casually act against subordinate Lords, or they will face united retaliation. It took me considerable effort to secure this, so ensure you survive."

Although he said this, Lin You could feel the concern in his tone.

Suppressing his excitement, he carefully placed the jade box away and bowed deeply to the Saint Radiance Emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This Divine Fragment was truly crucial for him.

Not only could it significantly enhance his strength, but it would also improve his chances of surviving assaults from other Tier Eleven Lords.

He was also aware that acquiring this Divine Fragment was no easy task for the Emperor.

As Divine Fragments are key to reaching the Emperor Level, existing Emperors definitely wouldn’t want others to obtain them, thereby fostering new Emperor Levels.

These rules were established millennia ago, preventing Emperors from attacking subordinate Lords; otherwise, they would face a united assault from all Emperors.

Lin You had only recently learned of this from veteran Lords.

Indeed.

The Saint Radiance Emperor was one of the few who deeply cared for him since he arrived on the Primordial Continent.

Not only had he saved him numerous times, but had also provided numerous resources.

Although Lin You hadn’t expressed it, in his heart, he had long regarded the Saint Radiance Emperor as a senior, respecting him greatly.

So this bow was absolutely necessary.

"Alright, alright, it’s nothing major."

With a casual wave, the Saint Radiance Emperor, observing Lin You’s respectful gesture, gradually formed a smile on his lips.

"You have plenty to keep busy with after the upgrade; I won’t interfere. I’ll handle those who intend to disturb you. Take these days to familiarize yourself with your new level."

Without allowing Lin You to respond, he performed an instant teleportation, disappearing from view.

Once the Emperor’s presence faded entirely, Lin You slowly straightened himself.

He took a deep breath, turned, and approached the World Tree, carefully taking out the jade box he had just received.

The next moment.

A dazzling seven-colored light beamed, accompanied by a strand of dark red glow. A Divine Fragment, resembling a worldly treasure, gradually emerged in sight.

Demon Type Divine Fragment!

Lin You was overjoyed.

What he desired most now was possessing a Fire Element attack capability Element and a Demon Type Divine Fragment, followed by a Beast Type with Armor-Piercing Talent.

These were the categories particularly challenging for his Plant Type race.

It seemed the Emperor had considered this aspect, specifically obtaining a Demon Type Divine Fragment for him.

Without second thoughts, he took out the specification fragment he had acquired earlier on the Celestial Ladder and activated it directly.

[Would you like to use "Complete Divine Fragment (Specification)"?]

"Use it."

[Please select the specified race.]

"...Elemental Type."

Hesitating briefly, Lin You replied.

The decision for Elemental Type was not only due to the fire elements’ suppressive effect on plants, but for another reason too.

The former Tier Eleven Lord who pursued him on the Realm Battlefield, the Gale King.

It was of the Elemental Type.

As his voice fell, the specification fragment in his hand explosively emitted a seven-colored light, gradually incorporating the Power of the Five Elements, silently floating alongside the Demon Type Divine Fragment before him.

With a thought, both fragments transformed into streams of light, fusing into his body.
