Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 507: Chapter 501: Saintly Radiance, Gathering Storms

Duchy!

Yellow Sand City, they are actually going to establish a duchy!

Does this mean that these old meritorious officials will be promoted, leaping to become important ministers of the nation?

Thinking of this, everyone’s breathing became rapid, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement and exhilaration, yet also a bit of disbelief.

Fortunately, Xue Changgui, the General Manager, was relatively calm and quickly settled his mind.

He took a deep breath and said, "Lord, managing a duchy is not something that can be compared to a city; numerous aspects are involved, and preparations must be made in advance."

"Oh? What insights do you have?" Lin You’s eyes lit up, truly worthy of being his appointed General Manager, mature and savvy in dealing with matters, remaining composed even in the face of significant issues.

"The first step in establishing a duchy is to expand our personnel; relying solely on us, we cannot support a duchy."

"Secondly, it’s about coordination between various cities, such as..."

Xue Changgui sat upright in his chair, speaking broadly, his voice echoing constantly in the hall.

His long management of Yellow Sand City gave him very deep insights into management, which gradually brought others back to their senses, prompting them to start discussing the establishment of a duchy.

The entire conference hall became lively, sometimes even erupting in quarrels.

Individual stewards quarreled fiercely over some detailed decisions, faces flushed, all eager to contribute to the duchy.

Lin You sat in the main seat, listening to their debates and occasionally nodding in approval of some sound ideas.

Thus, it wasn’t until after noon that they finally temporarily drafted a preliminary plan.

"Alright, since we’ve come to a conclusion, let’s start preparing accordingly," Lin You slowly rose from his seat.

Then, under everyone’s courteous send-off, he rode the Demon Ancestor Dragon and flew back to the territory.

Xue Changgui and Wei Gang quickly left the meeting hall with their subordinates, all extremely excited, to start various preparations in the city.

The grand moves immediately gave the citizens a sniff of something unusual, prompting them to start inquiring relentlessly.

Meanwhile,

Lin You was already riding the Demon Ancestor Dragon back to the territory.

After delegating all matters, he had no further worries, taking the Faith Treasure Pearl he had just received today, he approached the World Tree.

[Would you like to use "Faith Treasure Pearl (High-level)" x4?]

"Use them all!"

Lin You’s slightly trembling voice echoed in the territory.

Immediately, light shone brightly.

All the Faith Treasure Pearls in his hand turned into streams of light, merging into the World Tree.

[Congratulations, all conditions for the territory upgrade have been met. Would you like to upgrade?]

"Upgrade!"

Lin You took a deep breath and replied.

For this moment, he didn’t know how much preparation and effort went into it, so naturally, he couldn’t waste any more time.

Then, as soon as his voice fell, a loud boom was heard as an extremely rich Life Aura centered on the World Tree burst forth, sweeping towards the forest periphery.

The entire Yellow Sand City shook violently, with each towering tree suddenly growing taller, continuously spreading outward.

Immediately after,

A green pillar of light descended from the sky, crashing into Yellow Sand City, with holy songs faintly echoing around, as if praising the birth of a saint.

Moreover, that Life Aura exploded further, breaking through the sky, transforming into a green ripple, rapidly spreading into the borders of the Great Wilderness Kingdom and Flame River Kingdom.

In an instant, the winds rose, clouds surged, and the sunset glow filled the sky, completely shrouding the sky above Yellow Sand City.

The magnificent scene immediately startled lords from surrounding duchies to stop what they were doing and turn to gaze towards Yellow Sand City.

"What’s going on? Why is there suddenly such a terrifying aura over there?"

"Could it be that a Tier Ten Demon appeared?"

"No, I’ve seen this sight once before, it’s someone advancing to Tier Ten!"

"What the hell! Tier Ten?"

"There’s someone else reaching Tier Ten here!?"

"It seems to be at the border between the Great Wilderness Kingdom and Flame River Kingdom!"

"Move! Let’s go over and see!"

When the news of a Tier Ten birth spread, the lords within each duchy couldn’t sit still.

Especially those Tier Eight and Nine lords, who simply left their territories and hurried to the place where the anomaly occurred.

"Is this direction possibly Yellow Sand City!?"

Some lords who had previous dealings with Yellow Sand City, or knew Lin You, were greatly shocked.

Because they discovered that the location of the phenomenon was indeed above Yellow Sand City!

Moreover, the only Tier Nine Lord in that direction was Lin You.

Could it be that the one advancing to Tier Ten was him??

At this moment, they were all astonished.

Without further hesitation, they quickly instructed their subordinates to prepare substantial gifts and personally led teams heading towards Yellow Sand City.

Even the kings of each duchy were alarmed, tearing open the space and disappearing on the spot, directly targeting the direction of Yellow Sand City.

"Good kid! So quickly advanced to Tier Ten!"

In the Imperial Palace of the Holy Radiance Empire, the Saint Radiance Emperor, who was discussing matters with the ministers, also sensed the change in Lin You’s territory, and likewise vanished from the spot in a flash.

Before long,

He and a group of kings passed through the space, appearing above Yellow Sand City.

Even the duke kings of duchies affiliated with other empires and kingdoms arrived one after another. Seeing the appearance of the Saint Radiance Emperor, they were immediately taken aback.

"Greetings to the Saint Radiance Emperor!"

The kings all saluted, not daring to neglect.

"Haha, no need for formalities. Today is a day of great joy; no need to be so restrained."

The Saint Radiance Emperor laughed heartily, seemingly in an excellent mood.

Then, their gazes all fell below on the territory.

Amidst an intensely rich Life Aura that almost seemed tangible, Lin You sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

His momentum continuously rose, causing the surrounding air to tremble intensely, even faint cracks appeared.

"In just a year and a half, he advanced from Tier Six to Tier Ten, this speed is truly unprecedented," Ji Xinghe couldn’t help but marvel.

Upon hearing this, all the kings were amazed.

And those few kings belonging to the Holy Radiance Empire felt deep regret.

Because they had long heard that when Lin You descended on the Primordial Continent, he was directly turned away by their subordinates.

But now, Lin You had reached the same heights as them, and their hearts were ill at ease.

"Damn it, when I return, I’ll beat those guys for sure!" a hot-tempered king muttered angrily in a low voice.

The other kings beside him, upon hearing this, all wore wry smiles.

Then, before long,

The Lord of Mo Yuan City, the young Wei Jun nurtured by Lin You, and the Lord of Shuangye City, Meng Qing’an, as well as a host of lords under Yellow Sand City’s jurisdiction, all arrived one after another.

Upon seeing Yellow Sand City covered by anomalies and the great figures in the sky, they were all mentally shaken.

"It really is that lord advancing to Tier Ten!"

"Even the Emperor and kings have come!"

"It’s been so short a time, and he’s reached Tier Ten!"

"Such swift speed!"

The arriving lords continually exclaimed, keeping a close eye on the center of the celestial phenomenon, as well as the vast and boundless World Tree.

However, due to the presence of the Emperor and kings, they dared not approach Yellow Sand City even a little.

At this moment,

Lin You in the territory opened his eyes.

A tremendously powerful aura exploded from his body, transforming into a terrifying wave surging around.

The sensation was as if he had been reborn, his perception elevating to an unimaginably high level.

Next,

A series of notifications finally sounded.
