Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 286 - 284: Origin Space
Chapter 286: Chapter 284: Origin Space
The essence of nature, Lin You still doesn’t understand what its role truly is.
When he asked other Tier Seven Lords, they all said it was used to upgrade the territory.
But even the territory essence used for upgrading the territory at low tiers had many functions.
Just this one function of upgrading the territory seems somewhat trivial for a grand name like the essence of nature.
And this trip to the Elf Empire actually caused the essence of nature to undergo changes.
This was something Lin You hadn’t expected.
Curious, he took out the essence of nature to check its information.
[Name: Essence of Nature (Activated)]
[Level: Tier Seven]
[Progress: 100%]
[Introduction: Required for territory upgrade, once enough essence is collected, it can be successfully activated.]
[Note: Essence can be obtained by defeating Leader Level or higher demons.]
Fully progressed?
Lin You was stunned.
He remembered that before going to the Elf Empire, the progress of his essence of nature was only a little over forty percent.
How did it suddenly become full?
Could it be because of the infusion of divine power?
But before he could think any further, a prompt suddenly rang in his mind.
[Power of Origin successfully activated, do you wish to use it?]
What’s going on?
It can be used directly?
Lin You was amazed and, after a moment’s hesitation, chose “Yes” directly.
The next second.
The essence of nature orb in his hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, slowly floated up, and then merged into his body.
At the same time.
The World Tree within the territory also lit up with a large swath of brilliance, illuminating the entire territory instantly.
Buzz!
Lin You’s spirit buzzed.
He felt an unprecedented power surge into his body, nourishing his soul, making his connection with the World Tree increasingly clear.
It was as though the World Tree was him, and he was the World Tree.
Then, the chaos in his mind erupted, transforming into a Chaos Space ten meters in diameter.
Gray light continuously flowed, as if heaven and earth were first opening.
Subsequently, a small tree shoot full of vibrant life aura suddenly broke through the ground, appearing in the central position of the space, instantly filling the whole Chaos Space with vitality.
This caused Lin You to tremble all over and suddenly wake up.
[Congratulations! Origin Space successfully opened.]
[Skill Unlocked: “Soul Domain”]
[Soul Domain (Passive): The strength of the soul deepens the connection between the Lord and the Territory Core, forming a Soul Domain around it, granting territory bonuses to allies and the Lord within the range, with the size depending on the size of the Origin Space.]
[Origin Space: A soul world developed by the Power of Origin, used to enhance the Lord’s soul; the stronger the soul power, the larger the space, and the more abilities unlocked.]
A string of prompts left Lin You completely bewildered.
But he quickly understood.
Isn’t this just a similar ability to his Deceitful Willow’s Soul Incarnation?
The only difference is that its range of influence changes with the size of the Origin Space, and it also affects the Lord itself.
This is much stronger than the Deceit Willow’s skills.
After all, the Deceit Willow is just a rare species.
It seems that after reaching a high-tier, the soul of a lord becomes stronger, gradually replacing the territory core.
This was not something Lin You had expected at all.
However, upon closer thought, it makes sense.
Before Tier Seven.
The soul power of the lord was too weak and could only rely on the territory core to activate various territory functions.
After Tier Seven.
Once the soul power reaches a certain strength, it begins to gradually become independent, upgrading step by step.
By the time Tier Ten is reached, one can completely break free from the bindings of the territory core and become the true core oneself.
He used to think that the Territorial Sacred Artifact only being effective within the territory was stupid.
Who knew it was because his level wasn’t high enough.
But now given this new situation.
Other lords can also gain territory benefits outside, won’t his Deceitful Willow’s advantage vanish?
Just thinking about it is quite bothersome.
No wonder Yan Lie’s species are so fierce; it turns out it’s because they have territorial bonuses.
At Tier Seven, it’s still acceptable.
Most lords haven’t collected enough origin progress yet.
But after Tier Eight, all lords will have opened their Origin Space and gained territory benefits.
This means the only advantage he has left are the Divine Fragment and Lingxi’s Aura, plus the Symbiotic Moss.
Although still powerful, it is significantly reduced.
But the good news is, he also gained the territory benefits himself.
All attributes increased by 16%, recovery speed increased by 20%.
An increase of nearly two tenths in strength is quite useful to him.
Whether there is a higher-level Territorial Sacred Artifact available after Tier Eight remains unknown, but if there is, it would be wise to get a better one.
After all, compared to the Sacred Artifacts of other lords, his isn’t much stronger.
Thinking this,
Lin You immersed his mind, starting to examine the Origin Space that appeared within him, and that small tree shoot.
[Origin: World Tree (Seedling)]
[Category: Plant Type]
[Range: 10 meters]
[Ability: Soul Domain]
[Introduction: The soul condenses and forms, growing to a certain extent, it can evolve into a realm, requiring Power of Origin irrigation.]
The initial scope of the Origin Space is only 10 meters.
Moreover, the interface is extremely simple, with only a few pieces of information.
Compared to the Territory Core, it still falls short.
It seems that it’s necessary to kill demons to obtain Power of Origin to let this tree slowly grow, expanding the space’s range, and unlocking more functions.
This left Lin You a bit puzzled.
The Power of Faith can enhance his physical strength.
The Power of Origin can enhance his soul strength.
These two powers, one comes from the citizens, the other from demons, it’s unclear if there’s any connection between them.
And this suddenly appearing Origin Space, what will it evolve into later?
It seems that in the future, there will be opportunities to ask those High-tier Lords, to avoid taking the wrong path inadvertently.
Thinking of this, Lin You closed the interface, mounted the Demon King Dragon, and left the territory, heading out to check on the situation at the flying dock.
With days of financial investment and large-scale expansion.
The exterior of the flying dock now looks quite impressive, starting to form the prototype of a large commercial market.
And on the plaza of the dock, many merchants, cultivators, and citizens gathered, eagerly waiting.
“It’s here! The airship is back!”
Suddenly, a shout sounded from within the crowd.
In the distant sky, a massive shadow broke through the clouds.
Amidst the roaring engine propulsion sound, it gradually flew toward Yellow Sand City.
It was indeed a magic energy airship returning from another city!
As the airship was about to land, the two hundred passengers on board all rushed out, looking over the vast forest below from the edge of the ship.
“Is this Yellow Sand City?”
“What a magnificent city, built inside a forest!”
“I thought it would be a small border town, but it’s so bustling.”
“I’ve heard there’s a very magical grain sold here, I must buy more this time.”
“It seems we made the right choice coming here.”
Passengers on the ship were full of amazement, astonished by the enormous scale of Yellow Sand City.
It seems more prosperous than they imagined.
Counting the flying dock commercial area outside the forest, it’s almost comparable to a mid-sized city with a population of tens of thousands.
Calling it the Forest Capital of the duchy border is not an exaggeration.
Amid the exclamations, the airship gradually slowed and smoothly landed at the docking position of the flying dock.
A wave of people surged then, voices continuously resounded.
Excited crowds boarded and disembarked, making the entire flying dock lively, and allowing the escort team on the ship to relax a bit.
In charge of the ship was a man named Huang Ren, one of the earliest in Yellow Sand City, who had helped Lin You dig channels.
Due to his extraordinary talent with machinery, Xu Zhong promoted him to the captain of the magic energy airship.
It can be said he soared to the top, becoming a prominent figure in Yellow Sand City.
After docking the airship.
Huang Ren walked out from the cockpit amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
Everyone heard that Yellow Sand City had excellent benefits, especially this newly opened air route team, with benefits so good they made people green with envy.
Joining the flight escort team means directly acquiring a set of Tier Eight equipment.
There’s also a monthly magic energy subsidy, and various bonuses within Yellow Sand City.
It’s several times better than being employed in other cities.
Not to mention the captain of the airship.
Each became the target of citizens’ favoritism, truly enjoying infinite glory.
Even walking felt like riding the wind, with overwhelming momentum.
This often made Huang Ren feel grateful.
Grateful that he chose to stay in Yellow Sand City, working tirelessly for the Lord, and building the city, earning today’s glory.
Now.
He is already a ship captain, leading a team of powerful cultivators, reaching the pinnacle of life.
Every time he thought of this, Huang Ren couldn’t help but lift his chest with pride.
However, at this moment.
He suddenly caught sight of a figure flying from a distance out of the corner of his eye, causing him to halt in his steps.
“What’s wrong, Captain?”
The escorting cultivator asked curiously.
But the answer came as an exclamation from Huang Ren.
“It’s the Lord! The Lord is here! Let’s hurry to welcome them!”
Before the voice even fell, he was already running down the airship, racing toward the shadow.
The other cultivators were also taken aback, quickly following him.
In no time.
A well-equipped team arrived on the open ground of the flying dock, stood in a row, attracting the attention of surrounding passengers.
Whoosh——
A gust of strong wind rose, and Lin You slowly descended to the dock riding the Demon King Dragon.
As soon as he landed, Huang Ren, leading a team of cultivators, approached him.
“Greetings, Lord!!”
Almost in unison, the shout resonated from their mouths.
Lin You dismounted from the back of the Demon King Dragon, looking at their neat formation, nodded silently: “At ease, I just came to take a casual look. Who’s in charge of this airship?”
“Lord, it’s me,” Huang Ren quickly stepped out of the lineup.
“Oh, it’s you. I remember your name is… Huang Ren?”
For the initial group from Yellow Sand City, Lin You still remembered quite clearly, immediately recognizing Huang Ren.
Huang Ren didn’t expect the Lord to remember him, instantly turning red with excitement: “Yes, I am Huang Ren!”
