Returning to the war camp, Lin You finally felt his body relax.

He looked around, his gaze becoming incredibly deep.

He had thought.

That his acquisition of the Chaos Divine Format was secretive enough.

Yet it was still discovered by others, reported to the Great Emperor, and used as a point of leverage to suppress the Primordial Realm.

It turns out realms can never truly unite.

Even though they have now allied, to jointly fight against the Realm Alliance, they are still targeted by other hostile realms everywhere.

It seems more caution is needed in the future.

With that thought.

He did not linger any longer, immediately using cross-border transmission to return to the Saint Protection Duchy.

Then he took the newly obtained National Treasure to the World Tree.

[Would you like to replace the National Treasure with "Abyssal Roar"?]

"Replace."

In response, the square jade block in his hand slowly rose, floating above the World Tree, replacing the previous national treasure, and then showered down a large amount of fluorescence.

The original wind-attributed national treasure then vanished into the void, directly recycled by the system.

With the replacement complete, opening the duchy interface showed.

The resources regeneration and faith acquisition rate were indeed improved.

Along with the effect of the Dominator’s Certificate, his faith acquisition now totaled 137%, capable of garnering about 15,000 faiths per day, a level only few duchies can reach.

Unless they possess SSS-level National Treasures and other extra artifacts.

But the attributes of an SSS-level Lord Demon boast a terrifying 200,000, eyeing the entire Ten Thousand Realms, only the old Kings with Nine Divine Formats might possess such power.

Such Lords are few in number, generally the apex figures within each realm.

Most Tier Ten Lords generally possess less than seven Divine Fragments.

Following that.

He also reviewed the condition of the lords within the duchy.

After a few days of reward initiatives, the high-tier lords within the duchy finally began to increase.

Among them emerged many Tier Eight Lords, and even Yan Wu and the other two successfully advanced to Tier Nine, filling the duchy’s Tier Nine gap.

A portion also came from relocations from other surrounding duchies.

After Lin You had their backgrounds investigated with no issues found, he approved their entry and allocated some territories of corresponding levels.

Regarding the territories with the richest resources, they were temporarily withheld, for later allocation to trusted subordinates.

Generally speaking.

The Saint Protection Duchy now gradually proceeds on the right track, beginning to look like a proper duchy should.

He finally felt assured to venture out, focusing on enhancing his own power.

Thinking of this, he directly closed the interface, instantly teleporting out of the palace to inspect the development in the new district.

The surrounding sky also slowly dimmed.

...

Early the next morning.

Just as dawn broke, Lin You had already arisen.

After a simple wash with the help of the servant and eating breakfast, he transported to the war camp through the teleportation gate, intending to continue hunting Lord Demons in the Demon Plane.

"Quickly, I’ve heard something happened at the Supreme Mysterious Realm stronghold, hurry over to check!"

Suddenly, hurried shouts sounded nearby, several Tier Nine Lords rushed past him rapidly towards the stronghold.

Something happened at the Supreme Mysterious Realm stronghold?

Lin You raised an eyebrow, immediately halting his steps, then directly tearing open space, instantly appearing above the Supreme Mysterious Realm stronghold.

To his surprise.

Above the stronghold, many Tier Ten Lords like him had already gathered.

Even around the bottom of the stronghold, a crowd had gathered, all pointing inside, discussing fervently, faces full of shock.

Following their gaze, Lin You finally saw the scene inside.

Incredibly, the entire stronghold was razed to the ground, with numerous lord corpses lying around.

Particularly when his gaze locked onto the central corpse, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Tier Ten!

That was actually a Tier Ten Lord’s corpse!

What in the world happened!?

To know.

This was the headquarters of their Anti-Alliance camp, continually overseen by high-tier lords and even the Great Emperor.

Who dared to wreak havoc here so boldly and killed so many lords?

"I heard it seemed to be a Tier Ten King from the Supreme Mysterious Realm, who suddenly went berserk advancing to Tier Eleven and attacked the lords around him recklessly."

As if responding to Lin You’s question, a king nearby suddenly spoke.

"Go berserk advancing to Tier Eleven? Is there such a thing??"

The other kings were startled, turning their attention to him.

Lin You included.

The king, evidently aware of the situation, seeing many eyes on him, did not hide it, continuing, "Indeed berserk, had it not been for the timely intervention of the Great Emperor to eliminate him, more deaths would have occurred."

"According to people inside the Supreme Mysterious Realm, that person seemed to be at the end of his lifespan, trying to forcibly advance by fusing with a Chaos Divine Format, unexpectedly losing control, resulting in this outcome."

"It’s because of the Chaos Divine Format!?"

The crowd, hearing this, their faces paled, not expecting it to be related to that thing.

Among them, several kings had turned pale, their eyes filled with horror.

The Chaos Divine Format can actually affect a person’s mind!

This was something Lin You had not expected at all, and his heart was shocked to an indescribable extent.

Fortunately.

He was not as obsessed with interest as these lords, attempting to fuse those Chaos Divine Formats.

And the king they spoke of, whose lifespan was near its end, was probably the old man he encountered yesterday, because both were related to the Supreme Mysterious Realm.

He didn’t expect that without seeking revenge on the guy, the other was already dealt with by the Great Emperor due to his madness—it was indeed a case of karma, one could say he deserved it.

...

And at this moment.

Inside the conference tent used by the various great emperors.

A hearty laugh spread throughout the entire tent, both inside and outside.

"Hahaha, Floating Light, didn’t you say yesterday that our Primordial Realm was hiding Chaos Divine Formats? How do you explain today’s events then? Don’t tell me you’re unaware of even this?"

The Saint Radiance Emperor was in an exceptionally good mood at the moment.

Just yesterday, they were being slandered by the Supreme Mysterious Realm for hoarding, and now the people of the Supreme Mysterious Realm encounter their own issues. It was such an ironic turn of events, even he hadn’t fully anticipated it.

"Hmph! With so many people in the Supreme Mysterious Realm, how could we attend to every single one!" The Floating Light Emperor’s face was ashen, yet he could only manage to squeeze out this sentence to retort.

Upon hearing his words, the Saint Radiance Emperor laughed even louder.

Even the other emperors from different realms had strange expressions, momentarily at a loss for words.

Finally, it was the Dragon Emperor who stood up and said, "Alright, now is not the time for conflict, let’s first discuss the matter concerning the Chaos Divine Format."

With these words, the faces of all the emperors turned serious, even the laughter of the Saint Radiance Emperor subsided, his expression becoming grave.

"What do you all think of today’s event?" the Dragon Emperor continued to ask.

"Isn’t it obvious? It must be that person’s doing," an emperor quickly responded.

"Controlling minds with the Divine Format, indeed only that person could accomplish it," another emperor nodded silently.

"At present, the only course of action is to quickly find those who have absorbed the Chaos Divine Formats, to prevent incidents like today’s from happening again."

"Easier said than done, with so many people across the Ten Thousand Realms, even we can’t possibly attend to every single one, just like Floating Light mentioned earlier."

"In any case, it’s best to conduct a thorough investigation first, at least to minimize risks, otherwise it might affect the morale of our troops."

"Alright, then we’ll proceed with that," the Dragon Emperor nodded silently.

After discussing some other matters, all the emperors hurriedly left.

The impromptu meeting came to a temporary close.

Meanwhile, the news of the king’s madness spread rapidly through the various realms, starting to ferment among the lords.

Gradually.

Everyone came to understand the terror of the Chaos Divine Format and avoided it, not daring to touch it lightly, opting instead to exchange it directly for resources.

Amid such intense scrutiny, Lin You also did not attempt to acquire Chaos Divine Formats easily, avoiding drawing attention.

So in the following days.

He diligently traveled back and forth between his territory and the Demon Plane, hunting Lord Demons to collect resources.

The energy gained from slaying Lord Demons continuously accelerated the evolution of the Origin Universe.

Finally, at noon on the third day, a new change emerged in the Origin Universe.

In the star system closest to the World Tree, the first cultivator began to emerge, unconsciously absorbing the energy he pumped into the Origin Universe to enhance themselves.

This delighted Lin You tremendously.

Compared to technological civilization, he hoped more for his Origin Universe to develop cultivation civilization.

Because the individual abilities of cultivators were stronger, offering more faith, greatly benefiting his power enhancement.

In his excitement, he hunted Lord Demons with renewed vigor, tirelessly traversing between his territory and the Demon Plane.

This continued for over ten days.

Until he was finally interrupted by the Saint Radiance Emperor’s voice.

"Everyone, gather at the Realm Battlefield, prepare for the final assault!"

A coarse, resonant voice echoed in the Empire Channel.

Lin You, who was just about to set out to hunt demons, was startled to a halt.

After waiting so long, it’s finally time for the final assault?

Perfect timing.

His attributes had greatly improved during this period.

It’s time to gather more Divine Fragments!

With that thought, he didn’t hesitate, promptly teleporting to the Realm Battlefield with other lords, opening his personal interface for a glance.
