Chapter 742 - 736: The Army Gathers

Previously, when establishing the Heaven-Reaching Road, Lin You indeed received a hint.

Whenever the Lords from his Original World enhanced their power, he would also gain an extra boost.

He didn't pay much attention at the time.

Now it seems that this boost he receives is even higher than imagined, causing his Original World's range to expand slightly, hinting at stepping into the realm of Level 3 Celestial God.

Originally, after ascending to Tier Fourteen, he felt that the level-up process had significantly slowed, and even the enhancement effect from the original inhabitants of the Ten Thousand Realms had weakened considerably.

However, this discovery provided him a method to accelerate his strength enhancement.

"Let's first establish the Heaven-Reaching Road."

After sending away the Great Emperors, Lin You immediately went under the World Tree, opened the functional interface, and began constructing a teleportation passage outside.

When the Divine Hall of Origin descended before, he temporarily closed the Heaven-Reaching Road as a precaution.

Now nearly three days have passed.

According to his time flow speed of 40 times, several months should have gone by in the Original World, likely resulting in the birth of many High-tier Lords.

As for the territory in the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm, he has severed the connection, making the energy vanish to prevent anyone from tracing his territory's aura to locate his current position.

After all, he is currently just a Level 2 Celestial God.

Most Great Emperors are also of True God Level, not yet at the stage where they can contend directly with Divine Kingdoms or major powers.

Therefore, they need a period of recuperation to rapidly develop their forces, making time incredibly pressing.

"Roar!!"

At that moment, a high-pitched dragon roar echoed.

On the peak of a high mountain outside the forest, an ice-blue Ice Giant Dragon roared amidst the cold winds, circling through the skies over the Dragon Emperor's territory.

Wherever it passed, snowflakes drifted, showering countless ice crystals from the sky.

Even the mountain summit was frozen into an ice domain by the cold, and a chill could be felt from far away.

"It's the Frost Dragon King, the Royal Species that the Dragon Emperor just acquired!"

"What a terrifying aura, so much stronger than the Extraordinary Level!"

The Great Emperors looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with envy.

The Great Emperors who had been rescued by Duan Changfeng and settled nearby also rushed over upon hearing the news, staring in astonishment at the enormous creature.

When they learned that this Royal Species came from Lin You's hand, it caused even more of a sensation.

An Ice Element Royal, and belonging to the Dragon Race with noble lineage.

It would typically possess very powerful ice magic, with various freezing and slowing effects—definitely a nightmare for enemies on the battlefield.

It seems the Dragon Emperor really got a powerful species this time.

However.

Before they could discuss it for long.

From the other side of the valley, a surge of black light suddenly shot into the sky.

In Ji Yunshuang's territory, the Angel Legion led by the Guardian Fallen Angel slowly ascended, and amidst the resonating bell, a vast expanse of black wings rained down.

Having obtained resources, she successfully ascended to Level 3 True God, her power surging again.

This left the arriving Great Emperors in awe, each of them dumbfounded.

They all came from the Ten Thousand Realms, narrowly escaping being hunted to death by the Divine Kingdoms.

Why is it that those coming from the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm are so monstrous, generally having higher levels, and suddenly two Royal Species appeared?

It's simply unheard of!

Even the sounds of breathing in one of the palaces at the Holy Sanctuary Center of the Forest were interrupted, as Duan Changfeng instantly teleported outside, standing in mid-air.

But he quickly sensed that the disturbance was caused by the Great Emperors, and he relaxed.

...

"Lin You, that's not fair of you, having a Royal Species but not helping me get one."

In Lin You's territory, Yan Lie and Situ Jian quickly came after receiving the news, shouting loudly.

"Do you think Royal Species are like cabbages? I only have this one, and it just so happened that the Dragon Emperor could use it, so I gave it to him."

Lin You pouted; Yan Lie, that guy, even after becoming a True God in the Divine Realm, is still as carefree as before.

Yet it is precisely because of his straightforward nature that they became friends who openly share everything with each other; it's one of his strengths.

"I heard you got that token after killing a Celestial God?" Situ Jian asked from the side.

"Yes, I encountered it during a trial in the Divine Hall of Origin. Since you're a descendant of the Main God, you shouldn't lack such items, right?" Lin You looked at Situ Jian.

Today he was busy checking on the status of the Saint Radiance Emperor and arranging the territory to upgrade species, so he hadn't had time to inquire about Situ Jian's identity.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Situ Jian's expression became slightly unnatural.

After a while, he finally nodded: "Yes, my adoptive father... gave me two before."

After coming to the Divine Realm and learning about his lineage, the conflict between Situ Jian and Duan Changfeng was completely resolved, and he acknowledged Duan Changfeng as his adoptive father.

But even now, his emotions are quite complex, making it hard to accept this fact quickly.

"Tch, cheap and ungrateful; I'd call anyone who gave me a Royal Token my real dad," Yan Lie said with a look of discontent.

Currently, benefiting from Situ Jian's connections, he's received a lot of care from Duan Changfeng, reaching the level of a Level 5 True God, on par with the Dragon Emperor and others.

But every time he sees Situ Jian with power that's 5 levels higher than his, along with his Royal Species, he feels a twinge of envy, practically dying to have the same.

"After all, he has been the son of the Changfeng Emperor for so long, it's normal not to be accustomed to sudden changes." Lin You smiled slightly, naturally understanding Situ Jian's feelings.

"Forget it, it's been so long anyway, let's not talk about it." Situ Jian waved his hand and looked at Lin You again, "Let's talk about you first, I heard you obtained the Main God inheritance in the Divine Hall of Origin?"

"Sort of, but it's just one of several inheritances left by the Main God. Did I take something that should have been yours?"

"The Main God inheritance goes to whoever is capable, it's not something that belonged to me." Situ Jian shook his head. After experiencing so much, he had become indifferent about his identity as a descendant of the Main God.

Moreover, he was happy to see Lin You obtain this inheritance.

After all, Lin You was one of the few people in the Ten Thousand Realms and even the Divine Realm that he truly admired.

"The reason I tell you this is to let you know that if you're looking for the last piece of inheritance, there's a high chance it will be in the Divine Kingdom's center, within the territory left by the Main God."

"Are you sure?" Lin You was internally shocked.

He didn't expect to learn about the Main God inheritance in such a situation, which instantly excited him.

"It should be correct." Situ Jian said nostalgically, "Ever since I entered the Divine Realm, I've felt an aura from the Divine Kingdom calling to me, very similar to the aura I sensed from the Teleportation Array in the Divine Hall of Origin today."

"I see, it seems likely then."

Lin You's gaze gradually became deep.

The Divine Kingdom's center is the location of the Main God's territory and where the Main God's soul finally dissipated.

If he left any inheritance, it's very likely to be there.

But the problem is, now the entire Divine Kingdom and the surrounding major forces are searching for his whereabouts, making it almost impossible for him to sneak in.

If discovered, the Seven Great Celestial Kings would attack him at once, and no matter how strong he is, escape would be impossible.

Indeed.

He still needs to enhance his strength further.

With his current strength, entering the Divine Kingdom rashly would only lead to a senseless death.

But perhaps this is for the best.

Ever since arriving in the Divine Realm, he has been constantly on the run, without a day's peace, it's about time to take a good rest.

After all, having received such important information, there's no need to rush.

And so.

After chatting a bit more about each other's recent situations, the sky outside gradually darkened.

Yan Lie and Situ Jian bid farewell and rode their mounts away.

Lin You glanced at the moonlight and starlight reflected in the distant lake, then turned back to his territory, disappearing into the dark night.

...

Early the next morning.

Lin You was awakened from his dreams by a commotion outside the forest.

Through his connection with the Jade Green Dragon, he quickly saw numerous large troops composed of lords and species gathering from all directions toward the Forest Holy Sanctuary.

If he guessed correctly.

This should be the force Duan Changfeng mentioned, joining them in attacking the Divine Kingdom.

Although it was only a part of those arriving, the scale was already massive, instantly invigorating the towns around the Forest Holy Sanctuary and attracting many low-tier lords seeking experience.

"Look over there! So many species!"

In one of the nearest teams to Lin You, a group of somewhat inexperienced young lords quickly noticed the majestic territories and giant figures soaring in the sky on the edge of the Forest Holy Sanctuary, exclaiming in surprise.

Many of them had just awakened recently, generally below Tier Eight.

Where had they ever seen such a magnificent sight?

Even the lords above Tier Ten in the group looked apprehensive; it was their first time seeing such terrifying species and territories.

"What are you looking at!"

At this moment, a man at Tier Twelve suddenly turned back.

"That is the residence of the True Gods of the Forest Holy Sanctuary, and a Celestial God reportedly arrived there yesterday. If you don't want to die, don't approach carelessly."

"A Celestial God!"

Everyone below, upon hearing this, widened their eyes, and all simultaneously looked toward the forest's edge.

At their level, where had they ever seen such beings?

That's a Celestial God!

One of the top figures in the entire Divine Realm.

Not to mention the Celestial God.

Even the True God they had only seen from afar before, without even a clear view.

"Do you think that Celestial God might choose a successor among us?" said a young undead type with a face full of longing.

"Wake up, with your rare-level initial species, you think a Celestial God would favor you?"

"Exactly, at the very least it has to be an extraordinary level, and with an exceptionally awakened talent."

"I wonder what a Celestial God looks like, probably has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

"Probably, it would be great to see one."

Saying this, the young lords couldn't help but look again at the distant sky, enshrouded in a light curtain, full of yearning.
