Lord of the People: My troops have mutated

Lin You glanced at him, couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Brother Cheng doesn't look young, does he?"

"Yeah, seventy-two, all relying on upgrading the territory to hang my life."

Cheng Pu showed a slight smile.

At the age of 72, in the original world, people generally begin to appear old.

But it's different in this world.

After upgrading the territory, the body of the lord will also be strengthened.

Especially after reaching a level above the seventh level, the lifespan will be greatly improved, and the higher the level, the longer the lifespan.

But an old lord like Cheng Pu is still very rare on the mainland.

Because every three months have to go to the battlefield.

There are too many times, and it is not guaranteed that one of the accidents will hang up.

Very few survive to this age.

Either they came to the mainland at this age, but they generally don't live long.

Therefore, the lords we usually encounter are basically young and middle-aged, which is also the age group with the largest number of lords.

After all, this is the rule of survival in this world.

This is probably why there are fewer high-ranking lords.

Those who can survive have basically been promoted to a higher level.

Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help asking: "How long has Brother Cheng been the eighth-rank lord?"

"After this year, it will be almost 20 years."

20 years!

Lin You was startled, it was longer than he imagined.

To be able to live for such a long time, logically speaking, he should have already reached the ninth level.

No matter how weak an eighth-level lord is, the power of faith he gains every day is not comparable to that of a low-level lord.

20 years of accumulation is definitely enough to rise to the ninth rank.

"Is it strange why I didn't rise to the ninth level?"

Seemingly seeing what Lin You was thinking, Cheng Pu suddenly smiled.

"It's really curious." Lin You nodded.

"In fact, the reason is very simple. If I stay at the eighth level, I can live, but if I rise to the ninth level, I may die at any time, and I will die a miserable death. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because of the godhead fragments."

"Godhead... Fragment?"

Lin You was slightly taken aback, and his doubts became more intense.

What does it have to do with the godhead fragments if you are stuck and cannot advance to the ninth level?

But before he could think too much, Cheng Pu's voice sounded again.

"Yes, it is the fragment of the godhead. It is precisely because of this thing that all the ninth ranks are blocked from upgrading."

"When you were at the eighth level, you couldn't meet those old monsters at the first level. That's because the lords who can live for so long have basically been promoted to the ninth level."

"But godhead fragments are the rarest things in the world, and only the top people can get them."

"Guess what happened to the remaining ninth-tier lords?"

As he spoke, Cheng Pu suddenly looked at Lin You with a mysterious expression.

"What's the matter?" Lin You asked curiously, his eyes moving.

He has been fascinated by this topic and wants to know more.

"What else can I do? Of course, I will continue to accumulate strength and improve myself, thinking that one day I will be able to grab the godhead fragments from all the ninth-level lords."

"So after you reach the ninth level, you may even encounter old monsters that have lived for hundreds of years."

"Although their strength can't compare to the tenth rank, the horror accumulated over the past hundred years is beyond your imagination."

"Ascend rashly, there is only one dead end in the battlefield of ten thousand realms!"

Cheng Pu's voice sounded like an alarm bell in Lin You's heart, making him freeze in place.

It finally dawned on me.

No wonder.

All the way through his upgrade, he didn't meet anyone of the same level as the old monster.

Even the top lords from all walks of life are mostly young adults who have not been here for more than ten years.

Although the power of faith is a threshold.

But it can't stop those old monsters who have lived for decades or even hundreds of years.

Even if there are only two or three points of faith every day.

If you live for 100 years, even a pig can rise to the ninth rank.

But these old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years are all stuck at the ninth level by the fragments of godhead. Just thinking about it, you know how terrifying it is.

Lin You, who was still complacent because of defeating the eighth-order genius of the top ten realms, suddenly sobered up.

The last trace of pride in my heart disappeared at this moment, and I could no longer feel any contempt.

Subsequently.

He chatted with Cheng Pu again about the lord's lifespan.

I finally learned that the maximum lifespan of an eighth-rank lord is 200 years!

Wouldn't it say.

There are also a group of old monsters that are stuck in the eighth level and cannot be upgraded?

"Don't worry about this. People like me who are stuck at the eighth level have basically lost the will to fight. They want to survive in the world, and generally they won't get involved in those messy things at will."

"And there are actually not many people like this, because people die every day, and no one knows when it will be their turn. Maybe they will die suddenly one day, just like me."

Probably because of his age, Cheng Pu is much less optimistic about life and death.

Even when he said that he would die at any time, his face was relaxed.

This made Lin You have to admire from the bottom of his heart.

This old man really understands the truth.

But Cheng Pu has Cheng Pu's way of living, and he also has his own way of living.

It's hard to say who is good and who is bad, it's just that each pursues different things.

"Okay, after talking for so long, it's time for me to go back."

After chatting with Lin You, Cheng Pu also realized that he had finished eating melon seeds, so he smiled awkwardly.

Then he got up and clapped his hands, and walked back to the Yuehua Principality with a smile on his face.

He looks like an old man in the park.

Watching him leave, Lin You also got up and went to the front to supervise the recruitment of his subordinates and check yesterday's recruitment situation.

By the way, dig out some more potential seedlings to fill the vacancy in the Principality's territory.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, four days passed.

After a busy few days.

The new lords needed by the principality were finally recruited, and Lin You finally successfully completed the task entrusted to him by the king, and received a reminder.

[Congratulations, you have completed the principality recruitment mission. 】

[Reward 1 million mana, a secret treasure of a random SSS unit, orb of origin (low-level) x2]

Secret treasure of arms?

Lin You, who had just returned to the territory, stopped in his footsteps.

He did not expect that the reward for this solicitation task would be so generous.

Not to mention the 1000 million magic power, but also a SSS-level troop secret treasure, and two original orbs that have never been seen before.

Let him can't help being a little surprised.

Quickly clicked on the personal space and took out both things.

[Soldier Secret Treasure (SSS): After using it, you will randomly get a military type secret treasure that matches your own territory. 】

[Original Orb (low-level): After use, directly increase the range of the original space by 100 meters. 】

good stuff!

Lin You's eyes lit up instantly.

The king was so generous that he gave two such precious things as rewards.

It seems that he recruited many talents for the principality this time, which made the king very satisfied.

It's no wonder he wasted five days in vain.

Chapter 351 Machine Empire

Looking at the two things in his hand, Lin You was pleasantly surprised.

Especially the orb of origin.

It was the first time he saw it, so he was a little surprised.

Judging by the appearance, it is very similar to the Orb of Faith.

It's just that the orb of faith is red, which symbolizes power, and the orb of origin is blue, which symbolizes the soul.

Although only low-level.

But the range of 100 meters is equivalent to killing 10 eighth-level lord monsters.

This improvement is not small.

Without thinking too much, he picked up the orb directly.

[May I ask whether to use "Original Orb (low-level) x2"? 】

"Yes!"

As the voice fell, the original orb in his hand turned into a stream of light and merged into Lin You's body.

The original interface has also undergone a lot of changes.

[Origin: Tree of the World (sapling)]

【Category: Plants】

[Level: Eighth Level (705/2000)]

[Range: 705 meters]

[Holy object effect: 35%/18%]

[Introduction: The soul is condensed, grows to a certain level, can evolve into a world, and needs to be irrigated by the power of the source. 】

[Note: Click here to expand the talents of each department]

When he was on the Ten Thousand Realms battlefield before, his original space had been raised to a range of 500 meters by killing lords and leader monsters.
