Lin You hadnāt expected that the Saint Radiance Emperor would directly bring him in front of the Emperors of various realms, and he was immediately shocked.
Fortunately.
The Saint Radiance Emperor seemed to have anticipated this situation long ago. With a wave of his hand, a formless power enveloped Lin You, suppressing his Divine Fragment aura.
Realizing what was happening, Lin You quickly cupped his hands and saluted the Emperors around him.
"Greetings to the Emperors."
"No need for formalities, we are all our own people here, no need to worry."
The Saint Radiance Emperor sat to the side, smiling as he gestured to Lin You.
Our own people?
Lin You was slightly taken aback and couldnāt help but look at the seated Emperors. Almost all of them were from the Human Race, with just a few from other Alien Races.
It seemed that these were the Emperors from realms allied with the Primordial Realm.
This finally put him at ease.
Then, the Saint Radiance Emperorās tone changed: "You just sent Xinghe a message saying you found the whereabouts of that heart?"
As soon as he said this, all the Emperors and Kings present focused their attention on Lin You, piling pressure on him.
He glanced at Ji Xinghe standing beside the Saint Radiance Emperor, saw him nod slightly, and took a deep breath, saying:
"Yes, and I have just crossed paths with the owner of that heart."
"You crossed paths with him?" The Saint Radiance Emperor looked surprised.
The expressions of the other Emperors also subtly changed.
"Did you really encounter that heart?"
Immediately, an Emperor spoke out.
They all knew how powerful that heartās Stealth Ability was.
Now that itās lurking within a Lord in the Ten Thousand Realms, itās even harder to detect.
Although they were Emperors, it was impossible for them to use their Perception to search every person in the Ten Thousand Realms, which was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Yes," Lin You spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I was on the scene when that heart broke free from the seal, so I wouldnāt mistake it."
"No doubt about that," the Saint Radiance Emperor nodded slightly, "You might not know this, but it was this young man who discovered the sealās location and informed us back then."
"Is there really such a thing?"
"So thatās how it was."
"Your Primordial Realm indeed has produced a good seedling."
The Emperors suddenly realized.
Even the Kings beside them couldnāt help but cast an extra glance at Lin You, while secretly sighing in their hearts.
To have sparred with the host of that terrifying heart and not be defeated.
Why doesnāt their realm have such a talented young man?
Truly, comparing oneself to others is infuriating.
The Saint Radiance Emperor saw their expressions and instantly understood what they were thinking, causing his pride to swell.
"Haha, whether heās a good seedling or not, I donāt know, but this young man is usually quite restless, always managing to stir up a lot of mess."
His words were full of pride and smugness, and the smile on his face grew even wider.
This Emperor truly hadnāt changed, always being so concerned with face.
Lin You couldnāt help but internally critique.
But soon.
The Saint Radiance Emperorās smile faded, and he looked at Lin You.
"Speak, tell the Emperors exactly what happened when you encountered the host of that heart."
"Yes."
In front of the Emperors of various realms, Lin You naturally couldnāt lose his manners, so he quickly saluted and began to recount the recent events in full.
Even the discoveries during the battle were told word for word.
The Emperors and Kings listened to his words, their expressions changing repeatedly.
Especially when they heard that the opponentās species was just like a Demon, a Lord Level, they reacted even more intensely than Lin You had anticipated.
"Lord Level species? Are you sure?"
One of the Emperors of the Feathered People Race suddenly stood up, fixing his sharp gaze on Lin You.
The terrifying aura made the space around Lin You feel as though it was about to solidify, making it difficult to breathe.
But he still nodded seriously, responding: "Yes, and it seems to be related to the Aura of Chaos, already grown to the SS-level."
"Aura of Chaos... this is troublesome."
The Feathered People Race Emperor slowly sat back down, his expression unusually grave.
And the few other seemingly imposing and experienced Human Race Emperors beside him also had worried looks.
"Whatās wrong? Is there a problem?" asked the Saint Radiance Emperor.
Having recently become an Emperor, he wasnāt very familiar with many things.
The Kings of Tier Eleven and Tier Ten were also puzzled and looked over.
Sensing their gazes, the Feathered People Race Emperor slowly explained: "You might not know, but our Feathered Peopleās ancestors left a message millennia ago. The person suppressed at the bottom of the Demon Plane used the Chaos species!"
"Are you sure!?"
The Saint Radiance Emperorās face changed.
The Kings were even more shocked.
Not to mention Lin You, who was already stunned by this news.
The terrifying being suppressed in the Demon Plane also used the Chaos species?
This definitely wasnāt good news.
No wonder that guy could so easily fuse with that terrifying heart; there might be some close connection heās unaware of.
Unfortunately.
Just as he wanted to learn more, the Saint Radiance Emperor suddenly turned to glance at him and Ji Xinghe.
"You all go back first, Iāll find you later."
With these words, a large hand waved decisively, sending them away directly.
When Lin You came to his senses, he was already standing inside the Cross-border Teleportation Array.
Ah this...
Is it because his power is too weak, and heās not qualified to know the deeper secrets of the Ten Thousand Realms?
Once again, Lin You felt a deep sense of powerlessness due to his low power.
If he wants to uncover more secrets and break free from the constraints of the rules, he must continue to enhance his own power.
"Donāt overthink it, the Great Emperor has his reasons for not letting us listen," Ji Xinghe seemed to see through Lin Youās thoughts and said softly.
"Hmm, I understand." Lin You nodded silently, then followed Ji Xinghe out of the teleportation array.
Once outside, he suddenly spoke: "King, thereās something I want to ask, if itās convenient?"
"What is it?"
"Itās about the species. After reaching Tier Ten, is there something like a Species Upgrade Scroll?"
Previously, the Species Upgrade Scrolls Lin You collected in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms could only upgrade to Tier Nine.
So aside from accumulating Faith, he has to find a way to upgrade the Royal Species to Tier Ten.
Otherwise, each species upgrade would require 1,000 shards of Tier Nine Essence plus 1 Rule Fragment, which he canāt afford.
"Now youāre considering something about Tier Ten?" Ji Xinghe said in surprise.
He never doubted Lin You could reach Tier Ten.
But he never thought it would be so soon.
After all, Ji Xinghe was well aware of the difficulty of the Saintās Path tasks and had experienced them himself.
Even he spent nearly twenty years, using methods far beyond other Lords, to finally succeed in gathering a Divine Fragment.
Even someone like Saint Radiance Emperor took a full two years.
But Lin You had just reached Tier Nine a little over a month ago.
"Not that fast," Lin You said awkwardly, "Iām just asking in advance to be prepared."
"Thatās true too," Ji Xinghe nodded slightly.
Heās farsighted, and this is one of the reasons he praised Lin You.
Many Lords donāt even dare to dream of gathering a Divine Fragment, let alone prepare for Tier Ten.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "There are similar things, but theyāre extremely scarce, only obtainable by killing Demons above Tier Ten Leaders level, and theyāre very expensive."
"How expensive?" Lin You asked.
"Last time I sold one for 5 Rule Fragments."
"Rule Fragments?"
"Yes, in Tier Ten transactions, itās not just about Magic Energy, Rule Fragments are also a main currency, but these tradable Rule Fragments arenāt exclusive and canāt be used for Tier Nine Lords to complete the Saintās Path."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Lin You suddenly understood.
After completing the Saintās Path, he knew the Rule Fragment obtained from independently killing a Tier Ten Demon Leader is recognized by the rules, bound to the Lord himself, and can be used to gather Divine Format.
Without the Saintās Path task, the Rule Fragments dropped normally from killing a Tier Ten Demon are ownerless.
He hadnāt thought this would become currency after Tier Ten.
Puzzled, he couldnāt help but ask: "How much Magic Energy is one Rule Fragment equivalent to?"
"10 billion, and itās priceless."
billion!!
Lin You was shocked.
Does this mean a Tier Ten Upgrade Scroll could sell for 50 billion Magic Energy?
Nine Royal Species upgrading to Tier Ten would totally require 450 billion.
Moreover, itās priceless!
"Donāt be surprised, this price is already considered cheap."
"Because many Lords, upon reaching Tier Ten, choose to retain a few Heroic Species with excellent exclusive skills and upgrade them to Tier Ten."
"With an increased demand, naturally it sells a bit more expensive."
"If you have Rule Fragments, there are many willing to exchange with you."
Rule Fragments...
Lin You remained silent.
Just for the one needed for the Saintās Path, he almost lost half his life and a large number of species.
Where could he find more fragments?
Unfortunately.
Before he could ask more questions, Ji Xinghe said: "Alright, I have something to deal with first, letās talk about Tier Ten when we have the chance later."
After speaking, he flashed out of sight, not giving Lin You a chance to ask more.
Clearly, he had something urgent to attend to.
Feeling helpless, Lin You had to hold back a pile of questions, and after glancing at the sky, prepared to see if there were any suitable battlefield commissions at the station.
Unexpectedly.
At this moment, a huge roar suddenly reverberated from the horizon, a black light curtain descended from the sky, crashing onto the continent, causing the entire battlefield to shake violently.
"Whatās happening?"
"Whatās the matter?"
"Is the Realm Alliance attacking?"
"No! Look at the sky!"
The Lords from various realms exclaimed continuously, rushing out from the station, and turning their eyes to the sky.
All they saw was a Glazed Treasure Tower slowly descending within the light curtain in the boundless void, emitting an exceptionally heavy aura.
It landed right in the center of the wasteland between the two armies!
