2601 Thoughtful Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan felt a link form between the young girl and the fountain of faith in his divine kingdom while the woman directly became his believer!
It turned out that Su Yiren not only ensured that the regular citizens and homeless people in the Sand Island Continent were well fed but also dispatched a group of healing-type spirit qi professionals to heal them.
The homeless people and regular citizens in the Sand Island Continent did not possess many personal possessions, so the healing had to be free.
Lin Yuan felt that he should give Su Yiren more resources. She would definitely use them in the right places.
Lin Yuan and Eternal Source rushed to the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift while he observed the environment around him.
Even Eternal Source could not help but marvel at how the Sand Island Continent had changed.
Lin Yuan took out the Thoughts Letter Paper and saw that Su Yiren had been periodically reporting the situation in the Sand Island Continent and Dark Continent to him.
From what Lin Yuan just saw, the situation in the Sand Island Continent was even better than what Su Yiren had described.
Lin Yuan thought for a while before he sent a message to Su Yiren. FOlloow ๐ewest stories at n๐(v)
[Lin Yuan: I am in the Sand Island Continent now. It is being managed well! I will have Wo Lun ship 1,500 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls of various types, 5,000 tonnes of energy ores, 2,000 Bronze/Epic and 100 Bronze/Legend feys of various types, as well as 50,000 bottles of Grade 4 potions to you. Furthermore, I will leave Di Wanmi with you for now. If you need anything done, let her handle it.
Lin Yuan had his reasons for providing Su Yiren with so many resources.
All of these resources would be able to cause a stir in any federation. They were all top resources. It would be difficult for even a Class 5 Creation Master to produce them within 80 to 100 years.
There was no need for Lin Yuan to hide anything from his own people.
Since Su Yiren could manage two continents, Lin Yuan could provide her with a stable platform to do so.
After all, these resources were not that important to him.
Di Wanmi was the first Class 5 Creation Master subordinate Lin Yuan had gained. She represented invaluable strategic significance.
But now, Sky City had numerous Class 5 Creation Masters. The Goddess of Mercy could also be considered a member of Sky City.
As such, Di Wanmi was no longer as important as she used to be.
Lin Yuan could now produce Creation Master resources beyond the capabilities of Class 5 and 6 Creation Masters.
Although Di Wanmi was no longer as precious to Lin Yuan as she used to be, Su Yiren would be so delighted that her jaw might dislocate from smiling.
Su Yiren had contracted a Vitality Sloth in order to do her best as a manager. If she spent time sleeping, it would be difficult for her to achieve everything she needed.
Now, she only slept two hours a day while the other 22 hours were spent trying to recover the Dark Continent and protect the Sand Island Continent. It could be said that she had spent the past two months working tirelessly.
Su Yiren was accustomed to telling Lin Yuan about every single little achievement she made. It was her way of recording her achievements as well as demonstrating her value.
Just as Su Yiren was about to tell Lin Yuan about her results in the Dark Continent, she received a very long message from him.
Su Yiren was over the moon when she received this message. She loved it when Lin Yuan praised her.
But when she got to the bottom of the message, she placed both hands on the table to steady herself for fear she might faint.
The resource the Dark Continent lacked the most was energy ores. 5,000 tonnes of energy ores would be able to sustain development in the Dark Continent for almost two years.
Seventh Page War was horrible and had stripped the Dark Continent of almost all of its energy ores in the past few years. Thus, the Dark Continent did not have many left.
Lin Yuan needed to provide the Dark Continent with energy ores to help it develop continuously.
He had already provided Su Yiren with a significant amount of resources. She could not bring herself to ask him for more.
Besides the resources that were necessary for the Dark Continent's development, Lin Yuan also provided her with 1,500 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls of various types as well as 2,000 Bronze/Epic and 100 Bronze/Legend feys of various types. These top resources would significantly raise the level of the Dark Continent's experts.
The Dark Continent did not have many Creation Masters left, as any somewhat capable Creation Master had already fled. This was a massive blow to the Dark Continent's foundation.
If Lin Yuan only provided the Bronze/Epic and Bronze/Legend feys, Su Yiren would not have the resources to nurture them. However, he also provided her with potions.
He was so thoughtful!
Furthermore, he also assigned a Class 5 Creation Master subordinate to her! Su Yiren could not be more aware of the significance of a Class 5 Creation Master!
Her grandmother had been a Class 5 Creation Master. Thanks to her, the fighting in the Dark Continent had stopped, and the seven federations could unite and grow together.
Since Lin Yuan had sent Di Wanmi to her, it meant he would not recall Di Wanmi anytime soon.
Having a Class 5 Creation Master meant she would have a stable source of high-class Creation Master resources. But more importantly, she would be able to motivate the people and give hope to the people in the Dark Continent who had chosen to submit to her.
Su Yiren could clearly tell that these people had been rather demoralized, and she had yet to devise an effective way to lift their spirits.
It was easy to talk about motivation but difficult to actually enact it!
But now, she finally had a good way of motivating them.
Su Yiren hurriedly sent a message to Lin Yuan to thank and assure him she would not let him down. She also became resolute in her plans to develop both the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent.
After checking the time, Su Yiren decided to hold the second imperial meeting since returning to the Dark Continent.
The previous meeting had been to cement her position as the ruler of the Dark Continent. Su Yiren hoped that this meeting would allow the Dark Continent to light up with hope.
She also wanted to eliminate all those who refused to cooperate. She did not want Lin Yuan's resources to go to the likes of them!
2602 Wait for Just Ten Minutes!
After making her decision and sending out the notification, Su Yiren said to two of the Samsara Realm Dictators Lin Yuan had left with her, "Shocking Flame and Piercing Horn, I will be relying on you later. Just kill whoever I tell you to!"
They felt concerned when Lin Yuan assigned them to Su Yiren, interpreting it as a form of exclusion. Although they weren't the mightiest abyss demons in the Samsara Realm, they weren't weak either.
Shocking Flame and Piercing Horn did not know why Lin Yuan had chosen them out of all the abyss demons.
Regardless of how important the jobs that Su Yiren gave them were, they would have more opportunities remaining by Lin Yuan's side.
Although Shocking Flame and Piercing Horn had some grumbles, they dared not disobey Su Yiren. If they did and she complained about them, they would be doomed!
"Okay, please let us know of any requests that you have. We will do as you ask."
Su Yiren felt herself relax. She had been struggling to figure out how to deal with the former associates of the Seven States of Darkness.
Su Yiren could only make this decision because of the resources Lin Yuan had provided.
Many of these former associates had worked with her grandmother and could be seen as her elders. They might have served her grandmother faithfully and for the benefit of the Seven States of Darkness in the past, but now they were working for Su Yiren and could influence how she managed the organization.
It was only at this moment that Su Yiren realized she had to be tough.
โ
Su Yiren's attendants had conveyed her orders, and she arrived promptly at the imperial meeting.
As she walked into the room for the important imperial meeting, she noticed that the long table, set to accommodate over 100 people, was only halfway occupied. About 20 to 30 individuals were still missing.
She had not contacted the ones she had sent out and were tied up to attend this imperial meeting. Everyone she had informed had more than enough time to arrive and take part in the gathering.
Their absence was evidently linked to their attitudes.
After Su Yiren looked around and made a note of who had not arrived, she told Shocking Flame, "If these people don't arrive in the next ten minutes, you can go ahead and kill them. For the sake of the completeness of the imperial meeting, I can wait another ten minutes from the set start time."
Su Yiren turned and sat down in her seat.
Her words caused the expressions of those there to subtly change. A few thought they were lucky for coming early and avoiding Su Yiren's anger. Others sighed, waiting to see if she would follow through on her threat.
A group stood up, ready to ask permission to leave and bring those who hadn't come yet.
As the new ruler of the Seven States of Darkness, there was no way that Su Yiren would make an empty threat. Those who had not shown up were in deep trouble! Re๐๐d the latest stories ๐n nov๐
Upon seeing those people standing and preparing to leave, Su Yiren knocked on the table and said coldly, "Whoever leaves now will go right to the end of the table when they return. You can leave if you want."
Ranking was very important in the Seven States of Darkness. Their seat determined the amount of power that they wielded. Power equated to profit, and no one here wanted to risk losing profit.
Their reason for not turning up to the imperial meeting on time was very simple. All of them wanted to undercut her authority at this second imperial meeting. Thus, to them, arriving half an hour late would also be considered early!
After waiting for ten minutes, Su Yiren instructed Shocking Flame to close the door and began the meeting.
Since these people were willing to respect her enough to arrive at the imperial meeting on time, she was also willing to give those who were not fully cooperative a chance to change.
During the imperial meeting, Su Yiren outlined her expectations for the development of the Dark Continent and acknowledged those who had truly worked hard for her.
At that moment, cries of despair echoed outside the door.
Most of these cries were familiar, making it evident that Su Yiren hadn't made idle threats. Those who had arrived late were now facing the consequences she had warned them about!
The room's occupants grew visibly pale. Even those who had previously challenged her authority were forced to take her seriously. Regardless of whether they respected her, she had the power to end their lives effortlessly. If they continued to oppose her, they risked meeting the same fate as those outside the room.
Many absent from the imperial meeting had influential backgrounds, which had given them the audacity to skip it.
However, Su Yiren remained indifferent to their connections and pedigrees.
Once she made the aims of the Dark Continent's development clear, Su Yiren tapped on the surface of the table and said seriously, "You are all holding pens and were taking notes while I was speaking. Liu Xi, collect all of their notes later. I want to see if they are clear on all of my requests!"
Su Yiren's words caused the expressions of numerous people to change. Many of them had only been going through the motions and had not been taking notes seriously. A few of them were even doodling.
When Su Yiren saw this, she would definitely be displeased. If she wanted to kill someone to make an example out of them, they would definitely be picked!
Liu Xi was a poppy fruit from the Love Music Center that Su Yiren showed special favor to because she showed a very strong talent for governance. As such, Su Yiren brought her around as a close attendant.
When Liu Xi received Su Yiren's orders, she stood up and smiled at the people sitting around the table as she said, "Your Majesty, I will collect them now! You weren't speaking quickly at all. Those who are sincere would definitely have been able to follow. Those who are ingenuine wouldn't know how to come up with something now even if they wanted to!"
Liu Xi then stepped away from Su Yiren's left side and started to collect the meeting notes. She walked around the table until she arrived at Su Yiren's right side and placed the notes neatly in front of her before she returned to her original seat.
Liu Xi knew that her words had offended many people, but she did not care. Su Yiren was the one who had given her her life as a poppy fruit. All she needed to do was follow Su Yiren's instructions.
2603 Changes in the Dark Continent!
Liu Xi was linked to Su Yiren's sacred source lifeform's ability, so she could be considered a part of Su Yiren.
This was how every poppy fruit saw herself.
With everyone watching her, Su Yiren flipped through the meeting notes and separated them into three piles.
When she was done looking through all of the meeting notes, she knocked on the table and cleared her throat before saying, "Liu Xi, hand out this stack. All those who receive one, stand up."
Liu Xi received the pile and distributed it.
There were a total of ten people who received a set, and none of them were worried as they stood there. They had made detailed notes of the arrangements that Su Yiren had outlined during the meeting.
Su Yiren could only be intending to reward them!
Once Liu Xi was done distributing the pile of notes, Su Yiren stood up as well.
Any federation with a Class 5 Creation Master would not follow the regular system and gain authority based on their ranking during imperial meetings. Instead, members of royalty would be established and become the federation's core.
"From now on, the Seven States of Darkness will be renamed the Dark Federation. All those standing will become the Dark Federation's members of royalty!"
Su Yiren's words caused everyone in the meeting room to freeze. Everyone looked at each other regardless of whether they were sitting or standing.
Was it so easy to select members of royalty?
Four of the ten who were standing did not believe they were sufficiently powerful to handle the role of a member of royalty.
Members of royalty needed to hold up their titles with martial force. Otherwise, no one would listen to what they had to say!
If Su Yiren made them into members of royalty, she would definitely run up against significant obstacles in the future.
Nonetheless, it was good for them to be selected by Su Yiren!
At this moment, Su Yiren spoke again. "Besides announcing the members of royalty, I also need to make another announcement. The Dark Federation has a Class 5 Creation Master again! Those who are chosen to become members of royalty will be able to receive Class 5 Creation Master resources! Everyone will be given three Bronze/Legend feys and 30 Bronze/Epic feys to contract and nurture."
Su Yiren's words caused the meeting room to erupt into shouts. Her words were too astonishing.
It turned out that she had such impressive capabilities and even had a Class 5 Creation Master supporting her! It was no wonder she was confident enough to establish members of royalty!
Those whom Su Yiren had picked to be members of royalty pressed their lips together tightly. They had not expected this meeting to change their lives!
None of them had even been able to lay eyes on Bronze/Legend feys before! Now, not only could they contract such feys but would also be able to receive Class 5 Creation Master resources.
If they possessed Class 5 Creation Master resources, they would be able to surpass the rest rapidly and cement their positions as members of royalty.
Rather than saying that Su Yiren had picked members of royalty, it was more accurate to say that she was creating them.
Those who stood up were over the moon, while those who were not standing felt worse than if they were being punished. If they had known that such benefits were in store, they would have written down every word Su Yiren uttered! But now, it was too late, and all the positions had been assigned.
Moreover, they would no longer be able to enjoy any special treatment or authority in the Dark Federation once this meeting was over. They would have no power to influence any important decisions in the Dark Federation.
Su Yiren placed the last set of meeting notes in Liu Xi's hands.
"Give this pile out. The ones who receive a set will be able to keep their family estates and continue leading their families. Those who did not receive a set of meeting notes belong in this pile. These people will have their family estates confiscated. Ch๐รชck out l๐t๐st ๐๐v๐l๐ on nov๐l/bin.c๐m
"However, I will give you a chance. From today onward, you will be sent to the Sand Island Continent, where you will be able to build up your families again."
Su Yiren had made her arrangements in the span of two or three statements. It seemed as though she had made these statements casually, but they were actually decisions she had made after careful consideration.
To follow Lin Yuan's order to develop the Sand Island Continent, she needed to shift some of her manpower there.
Normally, no faction from the Dark Federation would be willing to leave all they had accomplished in the Dark Continent and start over in the Sand Island Continent.
The Dark Continent had a tropical climate and was only lacking mineral resources. They had just as many resources as any other large continent.
On the other hand, the Sand Island Continent had a sand environment. Not only did it lack mineral resources, but it was also difficult to even procure food. The general view of the Sand Island Continent was that it was a barren land.
Su Yiren had to find a reasonable segue to carry out her plan, and this was her best chance. By sending these factions to the Sand Island Continent, it would be given a new lease on life.
Both those who had received meeting notes from the second pile and those who had not received one were very unhappy with Su Yiren's arrangement.
However, Piercing Horn had already released his Samsara Realm Dictator aura, so no one dared to speak out. Anyone who had the audacity to speak now would end up with the same fate as those outside the room!
Su Yiren did not know she had picked up Lin Yuan's habit of knocking on the table because of all her time with him.
"Is anyone displeased with my arrangement? This will be the last of such meetings, so you can speak if there's anything that you don't find satisfactory."
Those who had complaints all felt shivers run up their backs. They all felt that she was baiting them. If they spoke now, there was no way they would receive a positive result.
As no one spoke, Su Yiren decided to end the meeting. But right before that, she said, "Those who I picked out as members of royalty will stay while the rest can leave. You should know what to do based on the instructions I just gave out!"
When Su Yiren was done speaking, she took out a piece of paper and mapped out her plans for the Dark Continent's development.
The Iron Hammer, Divine Wood, and Great Lush Federations had all chosen their individual envoys.
Su Yiren used to be a Dark Envoy and intended to choose five Dark Envoys to participate in the upcoming Major Federation Meeting.
This would declare to the other federations that the Dark Federation had been revived. At the very least, the Dark Federation would not be pushed to the bottom of the pyramid like the Divine Wood, Great Lush, and Iron Hammer Federations.
2604 Demon Insect Palace!
Su Yiren was very intelligent, and intelligent people always understood their own circumstances.
Back when she was still by Lin Yuan's side, she had been more important than Luo Lan in terms of capabilities and function.
But now that she was overseeing the Dark and Sand Island Continents, she was no longer by Lin Yuan's side. Thus, her status and function were the same as that of Luo Lan.
It was not just Luo Lan. Su Yiren also felt there was not much difference between her and Yi Huailong and Jin Qianxun. All of them were competing in the same field as they were all managing federations.
Although Su Yiren was managing more and larger federations, requiring more resources, she did not want the Dark Federation's development to fall behind any of the Startling Lines Continent's three federations. She did not care that the three federations had begun developing earlier than the Dark Federation.
She had picked ten members of royalty and assigned roles to them. Clearly, these ten people would play pivotal roles in the federation's development.
Since she was the one who had chosen them, she would have to teach them slowly and personally.
After the rest left, Su Yiren gestured for the ten people to sit next to her.
Next, she distributed the meeting notes and said softly, "Your diligent recording of my expectations for the Dark Continent's development was what earned you this chance. Now, I need to know where each of your skills lie.
"As members of royalty, you will not only receive the associated benefits but will also have to shoulder the required responsibilities and duties. From now on, someone will watch over you. I hope you won't disappoint me and make me think I chose the wrong people."
Everyone turned stern when they heard what Su Yiren said.
All of the people who were sitting there and had been taking notes seriously were those who had sincerely submitted to Su Yiren.
Now, Su Yiren was also promising them this mountain of benefits. There was no reason for those present not to do their best in carrying out the responsibilities and duties that came with being members of royalty.
It could be said that before today, none of these people believed they had such capabilities. ฤiscover n๐w chapt๐rs ๐n n0๐e(l)bi๐.com
All of them reported their skills to Su Yiren, and she wrote them down seriously. Liu Xi also stood next to Su Yiren and made notes.
It took five hours for Su Yiren to fully digest and delegate the roles of these ten members of royalty.
Lin Yuan had sent her almost 20 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, and Su Yiren decided to assign one to each member. This was to ensure their safety and watch over them as they performed their duties.
After sending them away, Su Yiren reached out and rubbed her temples as she felt a wave of exhaustion roll over her.
She was exhausted despite having contracted the Vitality Sloth. This was proof of how drained she was.
But as tired as she was, she did not head off to rest. Instead, she came up with three proposals to plan how she would develop the Sand Island and Dark Continents in the shortest amount of time.
โฆ
While Su Yiren was drawing up her proposals, Lin Yuan had arrived at the entrance of the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift.
Currently, there were two Turning Wheel Realm Dictators standing next to the entrance to prevent anyone from the Sand Island Continent from entering the alien insect world.
The Turning Wheel Realm Dictators recognized Lin Yuan and Eternal Source.
Keira had become loyal to Lin Yuan and had absolute control over all the alien insects through their Genetic Locks.
Keira had purposefully and carefully memorized Lin Yuan's appearance to ensure that no alien insect would mistakenly clash with him.
She could change the will of the alien insects by manipulating their Genetic Locks. The alien insect species now saw Lin Yuan as a god.
When the two Turning Wheel Realm Dictators saw Lin Yuan, they hurriedly knelt and paid their respects to him like alien insects with the inferior Class 3 Genetic Locks paid their respects to the female insects.
After Lin Yuan nodded to the two Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, he entered the alien insect world while riding on Eternal Source.
Before Lin Yuan had left, he had ordered Keira to relocate the alien insects' nest near the entrance of the dimensional rift.
Keira had earnestly carried out Lin Yuan's order.
Immediately after entering the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift, Lin Yuan spotted the insect empresses' nests.
In the past few months, Keira had reorganized the alien insects with the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift at the center.
Now that Keira had successfully recovered, there was no need for the alien insects' inheritance ground.
Keira had built a tall nest for herself, and alien insects were usually not allowed to enter. Even the insect empresses had to give their reports outside of the nest.
Eternal Source did not retract his aura while carrying Lin Yuan, so any alien insect that was somewhat powerful could sense Eternal Source and Lin Yuan's presence.
With Mexa at the front, the alien insects gathered to welcome Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan could see alien insects bowing to him in every corner of his line of vision. The feeling left him breathless as he swept his gaze across this scene!
But soon, he furrowed his brow. He did not see Keira.
Keira should be even more excited than the insect empresses about his arrival.
Lin Yuan asked Mexa, "Where is Keira? Take me to her now."
Mexa hurriedly said, "Lord Lin Yuan, Mother is in her Demon Insect Palace. We don't have the right to enter the Demon Insect Palace, so we have no idea what she is doing at this moment. I can take you to the entrance of the Demon Insect Palace, and you can enter on your own!"
Lin Yuan was quietly shocked. He was witnessing the extent of control of the Genetic Locks over the alien insects.
Mexa had addressed Keira as 'Mother'. From the attitudes of the other alien insects, it seemed that being able to call Keira 'Mother' was a privilege!
That was the truth. Keira had given Mexa this privilege because she had sensed that Mexa had distinguished herself to Lin Yuan. She had even given part of the might of the Demon Insect Lock Decoder to Mexa, making her more powerful than the other alien insects!
"Okay, take me to the Demon Insect Palace."
Lin Yuan was not afraid that Keira had stopped cowering in respect for him. He had taken full control of her. As long as she was intelligent, she would know what the right attitude to take would be.
He was worried that something bad had happened to her.
2605 Peace's Request!
If anything happened to Keira, Lin Yuan would suffer a great loss. After all, he had plans to use the demon insects heavily.
Lin Yuan intended to bring Liu Jie, but the latter had already entered the Midnight Palace's seclusion. He was going to try and contact a few new insect-species carcinoma feys while transforming his current ones into fairies.
Since Liu Jie had already made his plans, Lin Yuan did not take him into the alien insect world.
With Mexa and the other insect empresses surrounding him, Lin Yuan arrived at the entrance of the Demon Insect Palace.
He took out the Spinning Chrysalis and instructed Mexa to protect it before he left it at the entrance of the palace.
Soon after, the Spinning Chrysalis rooted itself in the alien insect world's ground. Then, a fuzzy carpet of fungi appeared below it and began spreading outward. The alien insects that made contact with the fungi swiftly fell under the Spinning Chrysalis' control.
Now that the Spinning Chrysalis had begun working, Lin Yuan entered the Demon Insect Palace.
Once he entered, he heard Keira's weak spiritual communication. "Lord Lin Yuan, I did not expect you to come at such a time. I am currently attempting to birth the first batch of demon insect eggs. The birthing process can't be stopped once it starts. If it is forcefully halted, I might not be able to retain my status as a female insect! Is it possible for you to wait for me?"
Keira spoke with a nervous tone.
Demon insects abided by the law of the jungle, so those of lower status could not make those of higher status wait for them.
However, Keira was afraid that stopping the birthing process would cause her to suffer irreparable consequences. If she lost her function as a female insect, she would not only be unable to build up the demon insect species but might also lose the ability to activate the Demon Insect Lock Decoder!
There were numerous new demon insects who met with accidents and lost their female insect abilities.
In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the demon insects' enemies had discovered this characteristic and constantly picked fights when the new females were laying eggs. Otherwise, the demon insects would not have deteriorated to such a degree!
Lin Yuan did not blame Keira. Instead, he asked seriously, "Given your current situation, do you need any help? You can speak freely. I will wait for you outside so you can relax and lay the eggs!"
Lin Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down. He took out the Thoughts Letter Paper and started communicating with the members of the Astronomical Parliament. He told them all about the main world's current situation.
Lin Yuan had already gained an understanding of the Sleeper's Revival plan, so he needed to ensure that the Astronomical Parliament's members were prepared as well.
Su Yiren's eyes widened when she saw Lin Yuan's message, and she immediately made adjustments to her plans.
She was certain that the Dark Continent was not equipped to handle Tower Canon's plan in its current state.
She intended to migrate every person from the Dark Federation to a location nearer to the Radiance Federation. The sooner she did this, the better she would be able to protect the Dark Federation's citizens.
Since Lin Yuan had left the Sand Island Continent in her care, Su Yiren also needed to prepare for it.
When Yin Lin saw the message, she told her parents and grandfather about it. She did not leverage her identity as an Azure Envoy to report it to the Azure Federation's imperial court.
Yin Lin had great faith in the friendship between the Radiance Federation and Azure Federation. There was no way that the Radiance Federation would hide such a matter from the Azure Federation.
As such, rather than trying to earn a reward from the Azure Federation, bringing the Azure Federation and Radiance Federation closer would be better.
Yin Lin did not know how the Azure Federation's imperial court would react once they found out about this matter. But she was going to try to persuade her parents and grandfather to suggest to the imperial court to migrate the citizens of the Azure Federation.
The Azure Federation had struggled to even deal with the opening of the Class 6 water world dimensional rift. Given the circumstances, the best plan of action would be to band together.
Yin Lin had witnessed Lin Yuan's strength.
If the Azure Federation united with the Radiance Federation, more federations would be induced to gather together with the Radiance Federation as well. They would eventually form a coalition of humans who would work together to take on Tower Canon's evil scheme.
They would then take back their territories in the main world and move back once the storm had blown over.
Wo Lun, Bu Po, Luo Lan, and Peace had exactly the same thoughts.
Wo Lun did not feel strongly about the Violent Wind Federation. Since he had almost died once, nothing was more important to him than his safety. He was already prepared to relocate himself and his ship's crew.
Wo Lun would not report such a matter to the Violent Wind Federation.
The Violent Wind Federation had a Class 5 Creation Master, so the opinions of peasants meant nothing. The decision-makers in the Violent Wind Federation's imperial court might not believe him and might even arrest him.
Wo Lun did not want to deal with something so troublesome. After all, when things became serious, the Violent Wind Federation would catch wind of the news and decide.
Luo Lan's thinking matched that of Su Yiren and intended to move the citizens of the Iron Hammer Federation nearer to the Radiance Federation. She also sent the information to Yi Huailong and Jin Qianxun.
Wo Lun and Luo Lan were able to make decisions on their own.
On the other hand, Bu Po had become the only remaining Spirit Mother reserve disciple but was not able to make decisions on the Spirit Mother's behalf. He needed to tell the Spirit Mother about this matter.
But after their previous interaction, he did not need to be evasive in front of the Spirit Mother and could speak his mind.
After making their decisions, Wo Lun, Luo Lan, and Bu Po did not feel much pressure about this disaster.
However, Peace immediately felt crushed by the pressure.
There were very few places in the world with a higher death rate than the Broiling Rock Continent.
Peace was currently trying to develop the city and was seen as the Green Continent Goddess who could solve the city's water scarcity issue.
But just because she could solve the city's water scarcity issue, that did not mean she could deal with the dead spirits that rose from the ground.
The others could make migration plans, but Peace had only just made contact with the cities outside of the Green Continent City. She had no idea where the other members of the Astronomical Parliament were located and could not migrate to Lin Yuan's location even if she wanted to.
If this was any other matter, Peace would handle it alone. But she knew she would not be able to address this situation on her own! Diiscover new ๐tories at n๐ve/lbin.c/o๐
If she tried to address this situation, she would be jeopardizing the safety of the Green Continent City's citizens!
Peace solemnly sent a message to Lin Yuan on the Thoughts Letter Paper.
[Peace: Leo, after reading your message, I would like to migrate the residents of the Green Continent City to the Radiance Federation you mentioned! Are you able to zero in on the Green Continent City's location in the Broiling Rock Continent so I know which direction to go toward?
When Lin Yuan saw Peace's message, he did not panic.
2606 Revival of the Demon Insects!
Ever since Wen Yu arrived at the Grotto Continent, she told Lin Yuan she could clearly sense that she was nearer to Peace.
If that were the case, Lin Yuan would be able to meet Peace soon!
Wen Yu and Bei Xu were currently exploring the other side of the Barren Sea. They would eventually reach Peace's location.
Lin Yuan believed that Peace was worried sick. Otherwise, given his understanding of Peace, she would never voluntarily ask him for help unless she had no other choice. Reรชad latest ๐ov๐ls at n๐๐v/e/l/bi๐.com
Lin Yuan intended to soothe the distraught Peace.
[Lin Yuan: Peace, you don't have to panic. I am aware of your situation. I will be able to help you with your situation soon.
Lin Yuan sent this message. But he remembered that Peace always lacked a sense of security and went on to explain things to her seriously.
[Lin Yuan: Libra can locate you based on the constellations. We have already found Bei Xu. Previously, we were unable to find the Grotto Continent, where Bei Xu is located. This also goes for the Broiling Rock Continent. After arriving at the Grotto Continent, Libra noticed that she is nearer to you and is now able to sense you clearer than before. I will send Libra to meet up with you and help with the migration. Once the danger has been resolved, you can choose to continue developing in this thriving continent or return to the Green Continent City to continue striving toward your current goal!
Lin Yuan's guess was right. His initial explanation had not been enough to assure Peace.
Peace always lacked a sense of security. Despite knowing Lin Yuan would never lie to her, she still found it difficult to feel assured by a simple explanation.
But Lin Yuan's next message gave her solid assurance.
Peace finally relaxed and looked forward to Wen Yu's arrival.
She could use this time to gather resources in the Green Continent City so as to prevent wasting resources when the time came to migrate.
After growing up in the Broiling Rock Continent, Peace saw wastage as the worst habit.
In other continents, resources could be easily found and harvested in the wild. But in the Broiling Rock Continent, resources were as important as one's life!
After communicating with Peace, Lin Yuan spoke with the other members of the Astronomical Parliament before storing the Thoughts Letter Paper back in the spatial equipment.
The members of the Astronomical Parliament immediately began busying themselves with preparing for the impending crisis.
Bu Po hesitated for a while before he went to the Spirit Mother and solemnly described the situation.
Bu Po's words immediately caused the Spirit Mother's usual nonchalant expression to falter. "Little Po, are you sure that this information is accurate?"
Bu Po nodded seriously. "I can take responsibility for my words! You are the Spirit Mother of the Spirit Mother Federation, not me. What you choose to do after getting this information will not have anything to do with me. I won't interfere. But if you choose to fortify the Spirit Mother Federation, I will leave with my sister. I hope you won't force me to stay."
Mountain Ridge Source was still on Bu Po's body, so he had the confidence to communicate with the Spirit Mother without worrying that the latter would try to force him using martial force.
If what Bu Po said was true and this was Tower Canon's plan, the organization behind him should be aware of this!
โฆ
Lin Yuan had just kept the Thoughts Letter Paper away when he heard Keira calling him. "Lord, are you able to give me some pure spirit qi? If you do, I will do my best to repay you in the future!"
Once the words fell from her lips, Keira realized she had misspoken.
Her life and soul were now fully in Lin Yuan's hands. Since she fully belonged to Lin Yuan, how could she speak of repaying him?
Normally, Keira should not require so much pure energy to lay the first eggs.
Lin Yuan had provided a significant amount of pure energy the last time.
Keira used the vitality to strengthen herself so her demon insect genes would improve. Thus, she had used up most of the spirit qi that Lin Yuan had given her.
She was only able to gain the chance to lay eggs so soon because her demon insect genes had been refined.
Keira brimmed with immense ambition and had injected the pure spirit qi into every egg that she had laid.
A demon insect that had revived had the greatest talent and potential. Their strength determined how strong the species they created would be. A strong demon insect would have hundreds of times the power of a weak one. They could not be compared!
This amount of pure spirit qi should have been sufficient based on Keira's calculations.
However, she had overlooked her enhanced Genetic Lock, which would lead to increased egg production. She also intended to infuse pure spirit qi into the remaining eggs, ensuring the optimal development of the demon insect species.
Even though Lin Yuan had been casual about pure spirit qi, its worth was undeniable. Keira's request seemed inappropriate and ignorant!
Additionally, it hadn't been long since Lin Yuan generously provided her with a substantial amount of pure spirit qi.
If Lin Yuan perceived this as wasteful, it could lead to trouble for Keira!
While Keira felt increasingly anxious, Lin Yuan was elated.
Keira's growing need for spirit qi indicated her increasing strength.
At present, what Lin Yuan lacked the most was time. Lin Yuan was delighted that Keira could quickly boost her power and enhance the insect species.
While Keira cherished pure spirit qi, Lin Yuan saw it as mere resources.
"Let me enter. This way, I can provide you with as much spirit qi as you need."
Instead of immediately entering the Demon Insect Palace, Lin Yuan paused and directed his attention toward it, signaling that he awaited Keira's input.
This action instantly filled Keira with a sense of respect for Lin Yuan.
2607 Breaking the Demon Insects' Historical Record!
Keira said gratefully, "Lord, I respectfully invite you to come in! I am extremely grateful for your help!"
The Genetic Locks brought the demon insect species into existence. Despite no Genetic Lock binding Lin Yuan and Keira, her loyalty to him equaled the security of such a bond. She had vowed allegiance to Lin Yuan with her soul.
Yearning for the admiration and favor of those one stood by was a common human desire.
Lin Yuan granted her plea and treated her with great respect. He committed to providing an ample supply of pure spirit qi, as much as she required.
Should her initial set of eggs be nurtured by pure spirit qi, the species she birthed could shatter historical records among demon insects!
Upon receiving Keira's response, Lin Yuan entered the cave.
Before long, he encountered a feeble Keira lying on a stone platform.
Though the empress of demon insects, Keira consistently retained a human form, concealing her true appearance.
In actuality, Keira assumed the shape of an insect, a spider to be precise, boasting 16 legs.
Keira adamantly clung to her human form, regardless of her weakness, unless she faced imminent death.
Arranged beside her were four rows of insect legs, each housing 18 eggs, summing up to 72 eggs.
Evidently, the first quartet of eggs within the initial three rows radiated stronger auras than their counterparts.
Keira started softly explaining to Lin Yuan, "Lord, I am asking pure spirit qi from you so I can strengthen these eggs. This will ensure they remain strong after hatching. To us demon insects, the first batchโ"
Before Keira could finish speaking, Lin Yuan took out a handful of spirit qi crystals and relaxedly crushed them.
A powerful wave of spirit qi immediately surrounded the eggs, and they began greedily absorbing the spirit qi around them.
Lin Yuan saw that the first four eggs in the first, second, and third rows were also absorbing the spirit qi. This meant that the eggs that Keira had strengthened before had not yet reached their full potential.
Lin Yuan asked, "It is probably beneficial for these eggs to absorb their fill of spirit qi, right?"
Keira was stunned.
Absorb their fill? What did that mean?
Lin Yuan's question stumped Keira.
None of the records of the demon insects mentioned the eggs having or not having their fill of spirit qi.
She could not give Lin Yuan an answer to a question she knew nothing about.
However, it would definitely be beneficial to the demon insect eggs to absorb more spirit qi.
With the pure spirit qi that Lin Yuan provided, he could only give one or two spirit qi crystals to every egg.
Keira could only nod timidly since she had no answer to Lin Yuan's question. Reรชad latest ๐ov๐ls at n๐๐v/e/l/bi๐.com
When Lin Yuan saw Keira nod, he demonstrated a mountain of wealth so gigantic that Keira would never forget about it.
A small mountain of spirit qi crystals appeared next to Lin Yuan. He reached his hand in and crushed a few of the spirit qi crystals.
Then, almost as though he felt that he was not crushing the spirit qi crystals quickly enough, he stepped on the ground, and hundreds of granules of sand appeared below his feet and shaped themselves into a large hand.
Three hands of sand were formed, and they gathered around one egg and started crushing the spirit qi crystals.
The eggs that craved pure spirit qi badly all swelled when the spirit qi made contact with their shells.
Keira could not help but gulp.
It turned out that such immense wealth existed in the world!
If she had become loyal to Lin Yuan when she was still in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the demon insects would not have deteriorated to such a degree!
As time ticked away, the mountain of spirit qi crystals by Lin Yuan's feet shrunk and grew three times.
Keira realized with shock that this first batch of 72 eggs had absorbed their maximum capacity of pure spirit qi!
This allowed her to write in the future history books of the demon insects that demon insect eggs indeed had a maximum capacity of spirit qi they could absorb!
After absorbing their fill, the eggs would not reject spirit qi but would stop absorbing it.
Moreover, the eggs that had absorbed their fill would become crystalized and radiate verdant light akin to that of jade-colored glass!
After absorbing the maximum capacity of spirit qi, the demon insects that hatched from these eggs would be longer and able to fly immediately after hatching.
Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction when he was certain that the demon insect eggs could not absorb any more spirit qi.
He looked at Keira and said sternly, "I made a huge investment in the demon insects because I hope you will be able to develop them into an elite army of soldiers for me. If you have any needs in the future, you can inform me immediately. Don't hinder the development of the demon insects!
"There will be many possible situations where I won't be able to reach you in time if you don't give me advance notice. For example, if I hadn't come this time, developing the eggs in the best direction would have been difficult for you."
After receiving Lin Yuan's warning, Keira immediately felt as though she was living in a magical world. Her master did not chastise her for using too many resources. Rather, he wanted her to use even more.
In the past, Keira would never have dared to dream that such a master existed.
She and the demon insects would be blessed if she could remain by Lin Yuan's side.
Keira said happily, "Master, I will remember what you said! From now on, I'll just let you know if I have any needs."
Now that Keira had taken his words to heart, he did not give her any more orders.
Instead, he said, "Go and recover yourself. I promised the alien insects to provide them with the chance to trade bloodlines. I came for this reason. You are controlling the entire alien insect species through the Genetic Locks, so you can take the lead on this matter.
"Don't forget that both parties must be willing before the alien insects trade with any lifeform. You can't force them. You can also make records of the genes obtained by the alien insects in the Demon Insect Lock Decoder."
Keira stood up and said, "Master, I am not that weak. I will go and carry out your order now!"
Keira bowed deeply to Lin Yuan before saying seriously, "Under your leadership, the demon insects will definitely achieve true prosperity! The demon insects will work hard to become your strongest weapons!"
2608 Attacking the Sky-Plundering Beast!
Keira was sincere and straightforward. Even if she had been hypocritical, she would have been honest only with Lin Yuan, avoiding empty promises.
In the past, when Keira was uncertain about Lin Yuan's circumstances, she wouldn't have dared to claim that she could transform the demon insects into elite soldiers for him.
The demon insects were formidable, but Lin Yuan's ability to produce such pure spirit qi amazed Keira.
She didn't know much about Lin Yuan's background, but she believed that he could command thousands of species to submit to him if he wished.
Countless species waged wars to acquire more pure spirit qi, yet what they obtained paled in comparison to Lin Yuan's purity.
Keira's confidence in making such a claim to Lin Yuan only stemmed from the significant qualitative transformation of the demon insects.
Lin Yuan smiled, appreciating Keira's passion and determination. If the demon insects could genuinely progress in this direction, all his invested resources would not be in vain.
As Lin Yuan escorted Keira out of the Demon Insect Palace, the other insect empresses awaited them at the entrance.
The usually highly respected insect empresses now sincerely bowed to Lin Yuan.
Keira found this behavior oddโthe insect empresses had clearly noticed her but hadn't acknowledged her presence.
Her Genetic Lock had already taken full control of these insect empresses!
Keira did not know what method Lin Yuan had used to supersede her Genetic Lock's control.
This was enough to make Lin Yuan seem increasingly mysterious to Keira.
Lin Yuan knew that this was happening because he had taken control of the alien insect world through the Spinning Chrysalis.
Keira's roots were not in the alien insect world, so she was not affected by the Spinning Chrysalis.
Lin Yuan had instructed her to handle the alien insect's trading of genes with other lifeforms. As such, Keira stepped forward and took on the attitude of a matriarch.
She spoke with the insect empresses and gave a concise version of Lin Yuan's orders. She emphasized that both parties had to be agreeable before the trade could take place so that not only the alien insects would benefit. Ch๐รชck out l๐t๐st ๐๐v๐l๐ on nov๐l/bin.c๐m
Keira knew that the Dictators from the other dimensional worlds would definitely agree to trade with the alien insects due to Lin Yuan.
However, the number and frequency of the trades depended on whether the alien insects were willing to satisfy the Dictators from the other dimensional worlds.
Otherwise, regardless of how much potential the alien insects had, Lin Yuan could not take the blood of other species in order to strengthen the alien insects' power.
He would not be considered an excellent elite leader if he did that.
The lines of authority in the alien insects depended on genes. As such, the obedience and degree of submission to orders was far greater than that of other species!
Lin Yuan's orders did not take long to spread and be disseminated.
All of the female insects became excited at the prospect of using the genes of other species to produce stronger male insects.
The female insects were always cruel toward male insects and saw them as tools.
But all of them were romantics and liked to seek comfort in the male insects they birthed. They would then take in the male insects they favored as concubini.
It sounded impressive to be a concubinus, but a female insect could have as many concubini as it wanted.
It would have many other options if it lost interest in its current concubini. It could either keep its concubini without showing favor to them or eat them to turn them into its energy source, ending their short-lived relationship.
In order to prevent something like that, the concubini always did their best to curry favor with the female insects. Once they lost the favor of the female insects, they would not only lose their status but also risk losing their lives.
The female insects would never pick other dimensional lifeforms to become their concubini.
But the female insects could absorb the genes of other lifeforms and morph them to produce new male insects that they chose to become their concubini. They could have fun while having full control over the relationship.
This was the same excitement as a poor person waiting to hit the jackpot overnight or a geeky homebody waiting for new figurines.
The alien insect world, though somewhat lacking, held its own treasures. Providing satisfactory compensation to the other Dictators for their trades wouldn't be a challenge.
After fulfilling his promise to the alien insects, Lin Yuan promptly left.
The Sky-Plundering Beast had been in Lin Yuan's company for a while. It had a fondness for wood-elemental energy, vitality, and spirit qi, as these aided in its growth.
Resources in abundance were at Lin Yuan's disposal.
Lin Yuan crafted a ten-square-foot garden in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and filled it with Sky-Plundering Flowers, a favorite of the Sky-Plundering Beast.
He allowed it to feast on as many Sky-Plundering Flowers as it desired, promoting its rapid growth.
Nourished by the pure spirit qi within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the Sky-Plundering Beast underwent a transformation, much like Genius had. It evolved from a regular beast into a Normal grade fey.
Before this transformation, Lin Yuan formed a contract with the Sky-Plundering Beast, as he had done with Genius and Chimey.
The energy needed for this contract was negligible, leaving Lin Yuan unaffected. This deepened the bond between Lin Yuan and the Sky-Plundering Beast.
Lin Yuan's genuine care for the beast touched its heart.
Genius, Chimey, and the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope all befriended the Sky-Plundering Beast. After millennia of solitude, it was no longer lonely.
However, the journey to strength wasn't easy for the Sky-Plundering Beast.
Lin Yuan didn't want to elevate its grade and quality until it fully regained peak health, as this might affect its potential. Such a premature evolution could hinder the Sky-Plundering Beast from attaining the best abilities and exclusive skills.
The Sky-Plundering Beast was obedient and good-natured. However, after spending a long time underground, it became curious about the surface world and started to explore everything.
Lin Yuan supported this curiosity.
It was important for the Sky-Plundering Beast to learn about the world.
2609 Evolve! Acid Corrosion Queen Bee!
However, the Sky-Plundering Beast did not have good life habits. It would defecate wherever it wanted in the garden once it had eaten its fill of the Sky-Plundering Flowers. As such, Lin Yuan had no choice but to train it in the right way to act, just like one would do with dogs and cats.
This reminded Lin Yuan of when he first started nurturing Genius and Chimey, and he felt very nostalgic.
After leaving the alien insect world, Lin Yuan summoned Purple Afterglow, the Rememberling, and the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom out at the entrance of the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift.
Once Purple Afterglow, the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom, and Rememberling evolved to Suzerain/Myth, Morbius would be able to evolve to Suzerain/Myth and gain new abilities and exclusive skills.
The Endless Gems had unlocked Purple Afterglow, Rememberling, and the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom so Lin Yuan could see their complete abilities and exclusive skills.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask Purple Afterglow and Rememberling which one of them wanted to evolve to Myth Breed first, he heard Red Thorn's voice in his head. "Yuan, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, that disappointment, is finally able to evolve to Fantasy Breed! It is showing signs of comprehending a Willpower Rune. Come and help it!"
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was always adoringly obedient toward Red Thorn, but the latter could not care less about it.
But it did care about the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee at crucial moments! Otherwise, it would not ask Lin Yuan to help the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was part of Lin Yuan's earliest batch of feys. Although he had not formed a contract with it, he controlled it via Red Thorn's Mouth of Relinquish, which was hosted within it.
Lin Yuan had not found the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee externally from the wild.
When he helped Millstone Town to defend against the pinnacle Class 1 dimensional rift, the Mother of Bloodbath had found the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee in the dimensional hub.
When Lin Yuan first started fighting on Star Web, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had been his secret weapon.
But as time passed, its importance to Lin Yuan faded.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee needed to comprehend a Willpower Rune from nature. However, it showed no signs of any changes even after such a long time had passed. This had caused Lin Yuan to slowly forget about its existence.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, this forerunner, was finally going to comprehend a Willpower Rune and successfully move forward!
Lin Yuan hurriedly let Red Thorn's original body out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Red Thorn's Mouth of Relinquish grew increasingly larger as its power climbed. It looked very terrifying and ferocious.
The three furnace-like Mouths of Relinquish squeezed together and let out roars.
Five ramets that had mutated grew out next to the three Mouths of Relinquish. The ramets' vines grabbed dimensional lifeform body after dimensional lifeform body in preparation to feed them to the Mouths of Relinquish.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee emerged from one of the Mouths of Relinquish and flew up to the sky.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's appearance had changed radically.
At that moment, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee seemed more like an invisible assassin than the mother of a species.
It would not be effective for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to charge forward recklessly.
But now, while it was evolving to Fantasy Breed, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's body expanded, and its abdomen also started to change.
After the transformation, its abdomen took up a larger proportion of its body, and the two stingers on its posterior also shortened.
This made the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee seem more like a queen bee.
However, this caused Lin Yuan to knit his brows.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's abilities Wing Stealth, Bone-Penetrating Stingers, Queen Bee's Premature Death, and exclusive skill Two-Strike Kill were all ferocious abilities that it could rely on to do combat.
In its current state, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's wings could not increase its flying speed and were smaller and rounder than they used to be. This would make it very difficult for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to use them in battle.
Abilities like Parasitic Pupa required the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to break through its enemies' defenses in order to place the pupa parasite in the target's body, thereby injuring the target from the inside out.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee's body had stopped changing, and a Willpower Rune full of life entered its body.
Lin Yuan hurriedly used True Data to check on the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.

2610 Praying Universe Soul Whale!
As a soul-type fey, the Remembrance Soul Whale could not use its body to take on the World Cleansing just like Blackie did. If any of the World Cleansing's attacks made contact with its body, it would be heavily injured.
Lin Yuan looked at Eternal Source, and he immediately flicked his fingers toward the hole in the sky.
A gold and green screen immediately appeared in front of the gold and green screen. All of the lightning strikes hit this screen but could not cause any damage to it.
Half an hour later, no more lightning emerged from the hole, and the World Grace started forming in the hole.
Eternal Source flicked toward the hole again, and a beam of energy shattered the screen. ฤiscover n๐w chapt๐rs ๐n n0๐e(l)bi๐.com
The World Grace passed through the hole and landed on Rememberling's body.
In an instant, Lin Yuan felt as though constellations had appeared in Rememberling's body.
It was clear that Rememberling's body had not grown larger, yet the constellations made it seem vast.
When the star patterns appeared on Rememberling's horn, they formed a road of stars. The star patterns leaped out from the horn and swirled around the road of stars.
Rememberling's wings had also grown larger and heavier.
Although they had both evolved, Rememberling had not had as hard of a time as Blackie.
At that moment, the evolving Rememberling let out a low cry as though it was enjoying a comfortable massage.
Rememberling's aura had changed, and Lin Yuan was certain that it had evolved.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Rememberling.
[Fey Name: Praying Universe Soul Whale
[Fey Species: Soul whale-species/single-horned whale-species
[Fey Grade: Suzerain (1/10)
[Fey Type: Soul
[Fey Quality: Myth I
Abilities:
[Soul Knot: When faced with the body of a dead target, singing the whale song will combine all the hidden souls in the body and awaken the soul within the target. If there is enough soul in the target's body, the memories in the soul will be activated.
[Whale Fantasy: When faced with an attack, the body can be turned into soul power and spread out into the surroundings. This will be able to dodge any attack. When heavily injured, the soul will attach itself to the closest object. Once out of danger, the soul can re-solidify into its original form.
[Singing Soul: The soul energy will be spent, and the soul's past experiences will be recited. This will help to recover the soul's memories.
[Whale Soul Tears: After consuming the fragments of the soul and draining the energy within them, the energy can be released through the eyes as sacred items and be used to heal and nourish souls.
[Sacred Whale Song: When the sacred whale song is sung, curses placed on the soul will be broken. The impurities in the soul will also be cleansed.
[Whale Horn Piercing Crystal: The whale horn will pick out souls hidden within non-lifeforms. Rememberling's soul energy will begin to mold the soul pieces until they solidify into crystals that cannot be returned to the main body.
[Soul Universe Guide: The whale horn can communicate with and make prayers to the universe. The collected souls can be guided to its side and universe power will be used to guide the souls while protecting them and preventing them from dissipating.
Exclusive Skill:
[Burning Soul New Life: By using spiritual ingredients full of soul power, the soul energy can be directed to and solidified in the soul. The soul energy can be used to recover damaged souls and return them to whole.
[Soul Remember Gift: By combining with the collected dead souls, the dead souls will eventually become soul imprints once they are completely absorbed. When the soul imprint is applied on a lifeform of the same species, the lifeform's comprehension ability will be raised, and they will be able to comprehend willpowers and laws more easily.
[Universe Prayer: Cry out in unison with the universe space through its own bloodline. This will earn the chance to communicate with the universe space. After sincerely praying, the whale's tears will be the guide that calls the universe's thoughts and wills to it as a form of direct compensation.
Lin Yuan saw that Rememberling's name had changed to the Praying Universe Soul Whale. But its species was still Soul whale-species/single-horned whale-species.
From its name, Lin Yuan was in amazement.
The star patterns and road of stars on Rememberling's body all aligned exactly with the expansive universe!
Lin Yuan looked closely at Rememberling's abilities and exclusive skills.
Its original abilities and exclusive skills had not changed, but it had gained Soul Universe Guide and Universe Prayer.
Soul Universe Guide was an ability it gained when it reached Suzerain, while Universe Prayer was an exclusive skill it gained when it reached Myth Breed.
The names were enough to know that Rememberling's bloodline was why it evolved to the Praying Universe Soul Whale.
Lin Yuan had initially assumed that Rememberling would have no more chances to increase its power and that its set of exclusive skills and abilities were already perfect.
But as its bloodline continued to evolve, Rememberling had turned into a fey that would be seen as a treasure even in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Soul Universe Guide would allow Rememberling to use its horn to communicate with the universe and pray to it. It would search for souls in all spaces of the universe, and the found souls would be called to its side.
In order to prevent the soul from dissipating or weakening during the guiding process, it would also be able to use universe power to protect the guided soul.
When Rememberling was searching for a lifeform's soul, the lifeform's soul would not have to be present to be revived.
Universe Prayer was the base for the ability Soul Universe Guide.
Universe Prayer allowed Rememberling to cry in unison with the universe space through its bloodline. This deepened its connection to the universe and earned it the chance to communicate with the universe as equals.
Rememberling would use its tears as the medium to gain compensation from the universe.
The experts from the Sky Beyond the Clouds would also lose their loved ones through accidents.
With Rememberling's abilities and exclusive skills, Lin Yuan now had the leverage to negotiate with the true experts from the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
When Rememberling was done evolving, it was very tired as all the energy had been used up to evolve its bloodline.
Lin Yuan took out a pile of spirit qi crystals and soul-type spiritual ingredients to rejuvenate Rememberling.
Once it had nourished itself, Rememberling fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Yuan brought Rememberling back into the Spirit Lock spatial zone and came down from the high of his joy.
Next, he turned his attention to the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom. He was going to evolve it next!
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom had also evolved to Diamond X/Fantasy V. The abyssal world's Endless Gems allowed him to unlock the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's abilities.
2611 Thought-Separating Flames!
In the past, Lin Yuan had not paid much attention to the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's abilities. This was because he was too busy and did not have much time to rest.
But now that he was continuously collecting the Endless Gems and unlocking more and more feys, Lin Yuan slowly lost the anxiousness he felt when he first unlocked the Jasmine Lily.
Now, he finally had the time to observe the Diamond X/Fantasy V Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom and see the new abilities/ Reรชad latest ๐ov๐ls at n๐๐v/e/l/bi๐.com
[Fey Name: Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom
[Fey Species: Parasitic fungus species/flaming fungus species
[Fey Grade: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type: Fire
[Fey Quality: Fantasy V
Abilities:
[Seeping Flames: The flames will seep into the target's mind, spirit, and soul through the heart and brain. The spirit and soul will begin to burn. If the flames begin to die out, it can absorb the energy from the heart and brain to reignite itself.
[Body-Penetrating Flames: When burning the mind, spirit, and soul, the flames will also burn the body. The damage will be translated from the elemental form to the physical. Before the fire in its mind, spirit, and soul was extinguished, the flames afflicting the body will continue to cause harm.
[Thought-Separating Flames: When burning the target's mind, spirit, and soul, if the target's mind, spirit, and soul has any thoughts or feelings linked to another lifeform, the thoughts will become a guide that allows the flames to extend.
[Strengthened Spores: The fungi produced will be strengthened and be able to absorb and take control of more energy. The fungi will be deeply rooted in the target's soul and be more difficult to remove.
[Truth Colony: When questioning a target, the precise answers given will grow a truth colony. When the colony absorbs energy, it will grow into a truth mushroom. When the truth mushroom is fed to a target, the target will be forced to tell the truth, making it easier to obtain true answers to questions.
[False Colony: When questioning a target, every lie told by the target will produce a false colony. When the false colony absorbs energy, it will grow into a false mushroom. When the false mushroom is fed to a target, the target will be unable to break while questioning, preventing them from answering questions.
Exclusive Skill:
[Honesty Reflects the Heart: The spores will host themselves deep within the target's spirit and soul and determine the genuinity of the target's exterior.
[Crumbled Parasitic Cycle: The bacterial strain will be sacrificed. After being sacrificed, the energy around it will crumble, along with other energy-containing entities.
Lin Yuan could not help but let out a soft gasp.
Rememberling had already given him an enormous pleasant surprise. But the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom had delighted him just as much.
As a fire-type fey, the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was more skewed toward functions rather than attacking.
Rememberling was Lin Yuan's safety net for those around him, while the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was the tool he used to obtain accurate and true answers.
He had gotten a taste of the benefits of the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom when he used it on Eighth Page Apoptosis.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom not only ensured that Lin Yuan would be able to obtain true answers but also placed extreme stress on the one being questioned.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom would definitely become useful when he arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
When he first arrived at Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan would not have much information about it. The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom would ensure that he only received accurate answers, allowing him to gain an understanding of Sky Beyond the Clouds as quickly as possible.
Each time Lin Yuan evolved his feys, he would be substantially pleasantly surprised.
Lin Yuan pondered over this seriously. He believed that this was directly linked to how he only used the best resources to nurture his feys.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's Elite ability, Body-Penetrating Flames, and Normal ability, Seeping Flames, would be able to work in perfect conjunction.
Seeping Flames allowed flames to enter the target's spirit, mind, and soul to burn them. The target's heart and brain would be the bases, and energy would be absorbed from the target's heart and brain.
The flames would be reignited when they were weakened.
Body-Penetrating Flames would transfer the burning effects from the target's spirit, mind, and soul to its body and intensify the flame damage.
More importantly, Body-Penetrating Flames made it more difficult to extinguish the flames on the body. This was because both the flames from Seeping Flames and Body-Penetrating Flames had to be quenched first.
Lin Yuan felt that only a wicked mushroom could produce the ability Thought-Separating Flames. A pure-natured mushroom would never be able to produce such an evil ability.
Any lifeform that was heavily injured and in a near-dead state would think about their loved ones, family, and friends. Exceptions were very rare.
The stronger the lifeform, the longer they would live and the more ties they would have in the world.
The ability Thought-Separating Flames would allow Lin Yuan to remove an entire lifeform's network of relationships.
When the Thought-Separating Flames extended the flames through the links of relationships, the new targets would form new centers that would continue the effects of Thought-Separating Flames. This would cause the network to extend to both direct and indirect participants.
Moreover, Thought-Separating Flames would also be useful when Lin Yuan was trying to find a mole in a group.
If there were two moles in a thousand-men-team, he would only need to catch one of them. They would think of their partner before they died, causing the flames to be transferred to their partner and allowing Lin Yuan to catch the other spy.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was a bag of tricks for interrogation purposes!
Strengthened Spores might seem like a triggered ability and not considered strong, but it could actually be linked to the exclusive skill Crumbled Parasitic Cycle and lead to a lethal reaction.
Crumbled Parasitic Cycle involved the Engulfing Flames Mushroom sacrificing its fungi to remove an equivalent amount of energy from the target's body. The energy would be removed in a continuous cycle, causing harm to the target from the inside out.
Strengthened Spores would raise the deadly effects of Crumbled Parasitic Cycle. It would also allow the fungi to become more strongly rooted in the target's soul, preventing it from being removed.
If a fey's ability was linked to an exclusive skill, its level would shoot upward.
2612 Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom!
Feys that could link their abilities and exclusive skills were stronger and more treasured than other feys.
Almost every ability could boost another ability or exclusive skill, allowing the abilities' effects to be stacked on top of each other.
The Platinum ability, Truth Colony, added another mechanism to the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's questioning abilities.
Every time Lin Yuan asked a target a question and the target gave a precise answer, a truth mushroom would be grown.
The truth mushroom was similar to truth serums used to interrogate suspects in Lin Yuan's previous life, forcing them to give accurate answers. This specifically targeted stubborn targets whose lips remained sealed even if they were on the brink of death.
The Diamond ability, False Colony, and Truth Colony's abilities were direct opposites.
Every time a target gave a false answer during questioning, a false mushroom would be grown. The false mushroom would allow a target to hide their thoughts and prevent them from giving true answers.
This allowed the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to gain the ability to resist probing. This ability was important to any faction and was definitely considered a foundational ability!
When he arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he could feed a false mushroom to every white-clothed follower and feel assured that Sky City's secrets would not be leaked.
Lin Yuan had rescued the white-clothed followers and nurtured them. They swore their loyalty to him on their Willpower Runes. Even if they had to sacrifice their lives, they would never hurt Sky City's profits.
Furthermore, the Praying Universe Soul Whale was another protection level for the white-clothed followers. Even if they died, their souls would remain.
Once the Mother of Bloodbath's sacred source lifeform became stronger, Lin Yuan could use the Jasmine Lily to work with the Ten Thousand Medicine Hot Spring and mold new bodies. This would be especially effective because the Jasmine Lily had reached Myth Breed and gained new abilities and exclusive skills.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was very timid and did not react much to Lin Yuan's praise. After all, how much intelligence could a little mushroom have?
Lin Yuan ordered the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to activate the World Cleansing and begin its evolution to Myth Breed.
The aura of a Diamond X/Fantasy V fey exploded forth from the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's body, and a hole opening immediately followed this in the sky.
Violent gales barreled out from the hole. Inky black clouds formed in the sky, and black hail fell out. Every piece of hail was in the shape of a water chestnut and was very lethal against fire-type feys.
Just like Rememberling, the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was useless when it came to defense and could not handle a single attack from the World Cleansing. A single attack would immediately damage its roots.
This was why functional-type Myth Breed feys were very rare in the wild.
This was a result of natural selection. Unless the functional-type feys could find a strong source of support when they evolved to Myth Breed, it would be very difficult for them to survive the World Cleansing.
If factions obtained more functional-type feys, they would definitely grow stronger.
Just like how he protected Rememberling, Eternal Source flicked his finger, and a green and gold screen appeared to block the falling black water chestnut-shaped hail.
After absorbing the World Grace, the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's body shrunk until it was only half the size of Lin Yuan's pinky fingernail.
The flower patterns on its cap caused the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to resemble a pillbug that was about to release its stink at any time.
The Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's appearance was just as beautiful as it had always been, and the color of its cap was even more brilliant than before.
However, its beauty could only be enjoyed if it was placed under a magnifying glass.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to begin examining the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom, he suddenly felt a special energy gathering around it.
It was very similar to the energy that had gathered around Chimey. This was a voice-spirit-type energy. Reรชad latest ๐ov๐ls at n๐๐v/e/l/bi๐.com
Could the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom have transformed after its bloodline evolved to Myth Breed and gained voice-spirit-type abilities and exclusive skills?
When he looked at its True Data, Lin Yuan saw that it was now called the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom.
The Suzerain ability, Interrogation Soul Flames, raised the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom's interrogation abilities.
[Interrogation Soul Flames: After confirming that the target has made more than three false statements, the target can be asked a question, and the soul with fungi rooted in it will be sacrificed. The target will have to tell the truth through the voiced spirit form.
Rather than saying that the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom was capable at interrogation, it would be more accurate to call it an executioner.
Interrogation Soul Flames could be used in conjunction with Crumbled Parasitic Cycle when Lin Yuan had exhausted all other interrogation methods and the target's will was strong enough to continue to give false answers even after consuming the truth mushroom.
The fungi and target's soul would be sacrificed, and the target in a near-dead state would have to tell the truth through the voiced spirit form.
This was another link between an ability and exclusive skill.
With Interrogation Soul Flames, Lin Yuan could receive whatever answer he wanted.
There were times when a question could clear up a cloud of doubts.
Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning was specifically meant to clear up doubts.
[Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning: When a judgment cannot be made on an issue, one can be staked to question the sky and ask for a positive solution.
When Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds to develop, he would not have as smooth of a time as when he developed in the main world. Inevitably, he would encounter danger, obstacles, and challenges.
Using Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning, Lin Yuan could tap into the roots of the sky and carve out an opportunity. This would allow him to make a judgment on a matter he alone could not decide on.
With Lin Yuan's intelligence, he was always able to come up with ways to get himself out of sticky situations.
However, the guidance from Heart Mushroom Sky Questioning would be good to have around.
After evolving to Myth Breed, the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's intelligence was still low. However, it could react appropriately to Lin Yuan's words now.
2613 Beautiful God Cutting Wings! Gรชtt the latest ch๐pters on n๐
Fungi-type feys were just like plant-type feys in that they could change form once they reached Myth III.
The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom had reached the stage where its intelligence would skyrocket. In a few months, it could communicate normally with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was excited to see what the little mushroom would grow into so he could see what kind of personality it had. After all, it was already evident that it had its own wicked intentions!
The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom used to resemble a button. But now, there was no way that it would be able to function as a button!
Just as Lin Yuan was about to return the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom to the Spirit Lock spatial zone, it leaped onto his head and made itself comfortable on his hair.
Lin Yuan could sense that it really wanted to be with him. He had no objections to this and would not be burdened in any way by keeping it with him.
The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom weighed around the same as a large piece of dandruff. He would not feel any discomfort by letting it rest on his head.
Blood New Moon had brought the Mother of Bloodbath to the Heavenly Family Cottage's headquarters to help it further tap into its Heavenly Family Fey bloodline.
Lin Yuan remembered that the Mother of Bloodbath loved resting on his head when it first became his Path Protector.
He had not seen the Mother of Bloodbath in some time and missed it. He wondered if the Mother of Bloodbath's bloodline would have improved significantly once it returned from the Heavenly Family Cottage.
Now that Lin Yuan was done evolving the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom, he turned his attention to Purple Afterglow.
He used his finger to beckon Purple Afterglow over, and it immediately flew over to land on the tip of his finger.
The light from the sunset engulfed the earth and slowly became one with Purple Afterglow's body.
It was likely that such a beautiful sight had never appeared in the Sand Island Continent.
Although Purple Afterglow had many issues, its appearance was nothing to be scoffed at!
Ever since Purple Afterglow made its appearance on Star Web, it occupied the first place on the ranking of the most beautiful feys. It fully deserved this position.
It was unlikely that any butterfly-species fey could compete with Purple Afterglow when it came to beauty.
Perhaps only the content of legends and mysteries yet to be discovered stood a chance of being compared to Purple Afterglow.
"Purple Afterglow, it's your turn to evolve. You have to do your best! Rememberling and the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's bloodlines improved after they evolved to Myth Breed! I will call the Kill Food Sky Butterfly over later so it can watch you evolve!"
Lin Yuan did not like to give his feys pressure but felt that some pressure was necessary. Otherwise, Purple Afterglow would be too laid back. It was so laid back that it might not be willing to do its best during its evolution.
Purple Afterglow's mellow character did not come from meeting the Kill Food Sky Butterfly and gaining access to Lin Yuan's almost endless supply of top resources. Even if this were not the case, Purple Afterglow would still act this way! This was largely related to its personality.
But regardless of Purple Afterglow's many flaws, its beauty was sufficient to convince others to overlook them. They might even start to see its flaws as virtues!
Purple Afterglow did not have much passion or motivation because it knew from long ago that this evolution would very likely lead to an improvement in his bloodline.
Purple Afterglow had felt its bloodline pulsing ever since it evolved to Diamond X/Fantasy V. It was very smart and knew that it was of no help to Lin Yuan during combat.
Lin Yuan never relied on it for fighting. Thus, its individual strength would be irrelevant to Lin Yuan.
Purple Afterglow's attitude reminded Lin Yuan of children from families of generational wealth. Since they could not help their elders, they decided to take a backseat.
But when it heard that Lin Yuan would bring the Kill Food Sky Butterfly over to watch it evolve to Myth Breed, Purple Afterglow's motivation immediately sparked to life. After all, a man needed to look impressive before his wife.
Purple Afterglow had always been beneath Kill Food Sky Butterfly when it came to power, and this vexed it endlessly. Every time they were together, it would have to fly under the Kill Food Sky Butterfly.
Luckily, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly always looked at it with adoration. Otherwise, Purple Afterglow's pride would prevent it from being together with the Kill Food Sky Butterfly.
Now that it would evolve to Myth Breed, this was a good opportunity for it to properly demonstrate its capabilities.
Lin Yuan summoned the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, and while the couple was flying lovingly around each other, he used True Data to check on the unlocked Purple Afterglow.
[Fey Name: Purple Afterglow Beauty Goddess Butterfly
[Fey Species: Flash-butterfly species/scaled-butterfly species
[Fey Grade: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type: Spiritual/Soul
[Fey Quality: Fantasy V
Abilities:
[Silence Scale Powder: Special scale powder with the ability to silence is released, and any target that comes into contact with the scale powder will be unable to use spiritual power abilities. The scale powder will also be absorbed into the target's spiritual power. Each time the target uses spirit qi, their spirit qi will end up cracking.
[Flashing Scale Dance: Its images will be formed from the scale powder released into the air. It will be able to flash back and forth between itself and the formed images. While it is traveling, it can absorb energy from its surroundings to quicken the production of scale powder.
[Scale Light Butterfly Image: Scale powder in the wings will be used to refract light. When light fills its reflection, its charm will be boosted, and it will gain absolute control over butterfly-species feys.
[Beautiful God Hallucination: When a target is attracted and sees one as a beautiful god, one will be able to adjust according to the target's features and pick a lifeform to turn into the target's definition of unsightliness. If the target and the lifeform have a positive connection, it will disappear momentarily. The target will attack the lifeform if they do not have a positive connection.
[Species Praised Beauty: When attracting a target and receiving its worship, the target's species will also be affected and instinctively feel positive about the Purple Afterglow Beauty Goddess Butterfly.
[Beautiful God Cutting Wings: Flap its wings to produce sequential cutting attacks. A special Beautiful God Engraving will be formed on the target's body. Every engraving requires 16 cutting attacks to be formed. The target with a formed Beautiful God Engraving will trigger its own emotions to the greatest extent. Anything related to energy will be prevented from moving in and out of the target's body.
Exclusive Skill:
[Scale Powder Halo: The scale powder has strong reflective abilities, and the reflection will affect the target that lays eyes on the powder. The target will start to feel dizzy and experience temporary blindness.
[Soul Beauty Goddess: By activating the power of the spirit and soul, the beauty will be increased to a limitless level. The target will be attracted and fall in love. The target will want everything of the object of its love on its own body, and the target will want to collect everything connected to the object of its love.
Lin Yuan understood Purple Afterglow's personality and did not use it for battle. All he wanted was to nurture it in the best way possible so that it did not get in the way of Morbius' evolution.
Besides functional-type feys, attack- and defense-type feys were no longer of much use to Lin Yuan.
When it came to power, Lin Yuan could rely on Green Vine and fused with Dark Blue and the Abyss Red Lotus.
Suppose Lin Yuan fused with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, which had evolved into a Satan, or the Purple Demon, which had evolved into an emperor sea demon. In that case, he might not achieve as much power as when he fused with Dark Blue and the Abyss Red Lotus. Nevertheless, he would still be much stronger than the feys he had contracted.
The feys that Lin Yuan contracted would not greatly help Lin Yuan now, aside from their special abilities.
Lin Yuan never held much expectations for Purple Afterglow, but it turned out that the abilities it gained came with special functions. It was a special fey with abilities that other feys could not replicate!
For example, the Elite ability, Flashing Scale Dance, could be linked with the Normal ability, Silence Scale Powder. Its effects did not seem strong, and butterfly-species feys might see the highlight as being able to absorb energy from the surroundings when traveling to quicken the production of scale powder. However, being able to form an image of itself from the scale powder in the air was an extremely strong method of attack and control for Purple Afterglow.
No lifeform would remain unmoved when it saw Purple Afterglow's shining image filling the sky. This sight would only further bolster Purple Afterglow's beauty to even greater heights!
Laying eyes on one beauty and a group of them would have a vastly different effect on those afflicted by lust.
Being able to flash back and forth from its images would elevate Purple Afterglow's agility and allow it to flee from danger.
The Silver ability, Scale Light Butterfly Image, and Flashing Scale Dance would give Purple Afterglow amazing attraction capabilities.
However, Scale Light Butterfly Image raised Purple Afterglow's attraction abilities to a greater extent than Flashing Scale Dance did, as it would allow Purple Afterglow to refract light from its scale powder to form a giant image of itself that other lifeforms could look up to. Purple Afterglow's already incredible charm would be further elevated.
Lin Yuan could not imagine the effects if Purple Afterglow's charm was further magnified.
Additionally, Scale Light Butterfly Image would allow Purple Afterglow to gain absolute control over butterfly-species feys. From now on, it could take control of any butterfly-species fey with ease, just like it had done with the Sky Fragrance Beauty Butterflies!
The Gold ability, Beautiful God Hallucination, was just a way of killing through beauty. Beauty would be used to attract and adjust to the target's features.
Using beauty to adjust to a person's perception was much more effective than trying to achieve an objective level of beauty as it was too reliant on desire that might not be lasting. However, one's individual perception of beauty would never change.
By adjusting to the target's features, Purple Afterglow could turn another lifeform into the target's definition of unsightliness.
If both parties were linked by a spirit qi professional and contracted fey relationship, the target would not act under the influence of Beautiful God Hallucination.
But if they did not have this relationship, they would definitely turn on each other, regardless of how well they got along.
Lin Yuan pondered over the utilization of Beautiful God Hallucination, and his eyes lit up as it would be able to meddle with contracts.
The extent of this meddling was varied. When used, the ability would cause a spirit qi professional to immediately lose the protection of his fey, leaving him as exposed as a fish on a cutting board that could be fileted according to the wishes of the knife-wielder.
Even spirit qi professionals with a wealth of battle experience would be rendered helpless when they were suddenly faced with such an obstacle.
The Platinum ability, Species Praised Beauty, was even more ferocious!
Purple Afterglow could affect the target's entire species while attracting it. The target's entire species would instinctively feel positive about it.
If Lin Yuan needed to make a deal with another species in the future, he could capture one of its members and instruct Purple Afterglow to use Species Praised Beauty so that the entire species would become agreeable before he made a deal with them.
This would allow him to establish a closer connection with this species.
Purple Afterglow's influence over other lifeforms was largely related to its genes. The more admiration the species had for Purple Afterglow, the more positively they would feel about it.
When he arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he would be able to use Species Praised Beauty to trade for many unexpected things.
If he could build a good relationship with the native factions from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan's future exploration would be smoother.
The Diamond ability that Purple Afterglow gained was called Beautiful God Cutting Wings.
It was not easy to use this ability successfully even once, as strong targets could easily avoid the cutting attacks. Moreover, the target had to sustain 16 cutting attacks before the Beautiful God Engraving could be successfully formed. It would be very difficult for Purple Afterglow to strike an enemy 16 times successfully.
But if the target was unconscious or incapacitated, it would be easy to strike it 16 times!
Beautiful God Cutting Wings did not cause damage from the cutting attacks but the maximum magnification of the target's emotions that the Beautiful God Engraving triggered.
This would work well in conjunction with Species Praised Beauty.
The Beautiful God Engraving that was formed from Beautiful God Cutting Wings would also be able to seal off all forms of energy from entering and exiting the target's body.
This involved not only the vitality within the lifeform's body but also spirit qi, elemental energy, source-type power, faith power, and more.
This meant that once the Beautiful God Engraving was successfully formed on the target's body, it would be reduced to a cripple until the Beautiful God Engraving was removed.
The Beautiful God Engraving not only prevented energy from entering the body but exiting as well. The target would have no choice but to use its body to defend itself against enemies.
It could induce feelings of positivity in other species as well as block energy from entering or exiting a target's body.
Purple Afterglow was just incredible!
2614 Beauty Reaches Every Species!
Lin Yuan was powerful and had the power to take on numerous enemies.
The captured enemies needed someone to watch them. If they did not, they would definitely cause trouble. This would be a waste of Lin Yuan's subordinates.
But when Purple Afterglow used Beautiful God Cutting Wings to create the Beautiful God Engraving on a target, Lin Yuan would not have to assign many subordinates to watch over these enemies.
Lin Yuan had suffered for more than ten years after arriving in this world. But once he became a spirit qi professional, he struck the jackpot and reached the peak of Creation Mastery.
Using Genius, he also passed the test to become a Class 2 Creation Master and became the Moon Empress' disciple.
Since then, everything had been smooth sailing for him.
This was largely related to Lin Yuan's own power, but the protection from the Moon Empress could not be ignored either.
The Mother of Bloodbath had saved Lin Yuan many times, and it was the Moon Empress who had placed the Mother of Bloodbath as Lin Yuan's Path Protector.
Otherwise, the Myth II Mother of Bloodbath and D-rank spirit qi professional Lin Yuan would never have been able to cross paths.
Once he arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, there would be no one to protect himโhe would need to protect himself.
At that time, Beautiful God Cutting Wings would bring Lin Yuan a fair amount of convenience.
The Kill Food Sky Butterfly and Purple Afterglow flew around each other in the sky. They looked like a flash of baby blue chasing after a streak of beautiful sunset purple. This breathtaking sight caused the desert outside of the Seaberry Federation to look romantically dazzling.
However, Purple Afterglow was not purely enjoying itself as it flew around with the Kill Food Sky Butterfly. It was also securing its own bloodline.
Once it sensed its relatively secure bloodline, Purple Afterglow stopped in midair.
When the Kill Food Sky Butterfly saw this, it did not cling to Purple Afterglow and dutifully put distance between them. It did not want to obstruct or disturb Purple Afterglow.
As Purple Afterglow flew around in the sky and dispersed its scale powder, it made for a beautiful sight.
Suddenly, a thick stream of purple light burst out from Purple Afterglow's body and stained the sky purple.
All the people in the cities near the Seaberry Federation fell to their knees instinctively after spotting the purple-stained sky. They placed their palms together and began to pray earnestly.
The Seaberry Federation was considered relatively weak in the Sand Island Continent.
The people there lived lives so laboriously that those from wealthy federations would never be able to imagine such a reality. The people living there did not have any pastimes. A day that they did not spend working would be a day where they had to go hungry. They did not know what it was like to hope for anything.
All they could do was place their hopes on intangible gods.
The purple sky was the most beautiful phenomenon they had ever seen.
There was not much common knowledge to speak of in a federation where the average lifespan was only 20 to 30 years.
This sight caused many people to think that a god had descended on the Seaberry Federation, and it happened to be in the same direction as the tents that had been providing food to the people of the Seaberry Federation.
The people from the Seaberry Federation prayed with gratitude to this god and unknowingly increased their rate of supplying faith power to Lin Yuan.
As time passed, the purple in the sky did not fade and only became more concentrated.
There was a golden gleam within the purple that seemed to form thousands of wispy streaks. As the light danced around, every cascading wisp of light was surrounded by tens of rainbows.
The Seaberry Federation was enveloped in a beauty that could be appreciated in both heaven and on Earth. This beauty radiated from the very spot where the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift had once opened.
Even the insect queens guarding the entrance of the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift became lost in this magnificent sight. ฤiscover n๐w chapt๐rs ๐n n0๐e(l)bi๐.com
The Kill Food Sky Butterfly stared at Purple Afterglow with gentle adoration.
Lin Yuan smiled at this. He now knew why Purple Afterglow said that its bloodline could take a step forward.
As he looked at this natural phenomenon, Lin Yuan could be certain that Purple Afterglow's bloodline was transforming!
As Purple Afterglow continued to release its aura, a black hole appeared in the sky.
Crimson flames burst out from the hole and became entangled with the purple and gold sky.
Eternal Source proceeded to protect Purple Afterglow like he did with Rememberling and Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom.
Once the red flames were extinguished and the World Grace landed on Purple Afterglow's body, it started to grow longer. Its wings became more flowy, and a layer of purple and gold light now bordered them. It looked as though there was a backlight shining on Purple Afterglow's body.
The beauty of a butterfly-species fey depended on its shape and scale powder. There was not much relation to its patterns.
Color came from the scale powder, and too many patterns on the wings would cause the wings to look messy. This would be akin to attaching many accessories on an amazing piece of material.
Just as Lin Yuan thought that Purple Afterglow's scale powder had turned purple and gold and that its evolution was complete, two sets of illusionary wings sprouted from its body.
The wings were 1.5 times larger than its body and flapped in tandem with its actual wings.
Lin Yuan used to struggle to come up with the words to describe Purple Afterglow's beauty.
But once the illusionary wings grew out, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that it seemed to resemble the guard of a butterfly-species thearch.
The purple and gold coloring completely overhauled Purple Afterglow's beauty and refreshed Lin Yuan's assessment of beauty.
Lin Yuan hurriedly used True Data to check on Purple Afterglow and saw that its name had not changed. It was still called the Purple Afterglow Beauty Goddess Butterfly.
According to Morbius, only the most beautiful entities in the world could be considered beautiful gods or goddesses.
The names that Morbius gave all of its feys came from their bloodlines.
The Purple Afterglow Beauty Goddess Butterfly was the only Beauty Goddess Butterfly in the world, so Morbius saw no need to change its name.
The illusionary wings that Purple Afterglow gained after evolving to Myth Breed did not even reach the top three of its merits.
However, Purple Afterglow Beauty Goddess Butterfly's type had changed from its initial flash-butterfly species/scaled-butterfly species to beautiful-goddess butterfly species/beautiful-goddess butterfly genus. This meant that it was no longer a flash-butterfly species at all and could pass on its new bloodline.
The Suzerain ability that Purple Afterglow gained was called Beauty Assessment Plundering.
[Beauty Assessment Plundering: When one's beauty stupefies a species and takes over that species' assessment of beauty, it can set the standard with its own beauty and become the definition of beauty for that species. Besides itself, the species will not see any other lifeform as beautiful. It will detest and be repulsed by lifeforms that previously met their standards of beauty.
Lin Yuan was first stunned when he saw the description of Beauty Assessment Plundering. He suddenly felt that it could be effectively linked to Species Praised Beauty.
Species Praised Beauty would attract a target and utilize beauty to earn that target's worship. It would then influence the target's species and earn positive feelings from that species.
Beauty Assessment Plundering would turn Purple Afterglow into the standard of beauty for the species once it takes over their assessment of beauty.
This ability did not seem strong, but once Purple Afterglow took over a species' assessment of beauty and altered it, the species would feel repulsed toward entities that previously met their standard of beauty.
This would not only make it more challenging for the species to procreate but might even cause the species to go extinct.
A species might go extinct due to its definition of beauty.
Purple Afterglow, this male butterfly, was looking more and more like the Death Demon Concubine Beast!
After observing Purple Afterglow's Suzerain ability, Lin Yuan started observing the exclusive skill it had gained.
The exclusive skill Purple Afterglow gained from reaching Myth Breed was Beauty Reaches Every Species.
[Beauty Reaches Every Species: Each time it receives the recognition of a species and becomes their standard of beauty, its charm will be eternally strengthened.
Beauty Reaches Every Species was very simple, but Lin Yuan was whooping with joy to himself.
Purple Afterglow's beauty could be considered to be at the peak of the main world. But this might not be the case if it were in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
There might be even greater beauty out there.
Some of its abilities would be useless if it were less beautiful than its target.
However, Beauty Reaches Every Species would allow Purple Afterglow to continuously increase its charm and attraction. Because of this, Purple Afterglow would not have to worry about being less beautiful than another species in Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Even if it were not more beautiful now, it would not stay on the losing end after it increased its charm!
Purple Afterglow seemed very laid back, but it was very prideful when it came to its own beauty. When it arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Purple Afterglow would definitely try to become the most beautiful lifeform there.
Now that Purple Afterglow had evolved to Myth Breed, Lin Yuan did not have any other feys that he needed to evolve.
Lin Yuan had been spending most of his time in the dimensional world. Due to a lack of moonbeams, the Merciful Star Peony's evolution had slowed. Moreover, just like the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee and Ethereal Jellyfish, the Merciful Star Peony needed to comprehend a Willpower Rune from nature.
Lin Yuan did not know when the Merciful Star Peony could evolve to Myth Breed.
Gray was able to evolve to Myth Breed. However, a higher priority for it now would be accumulating power rather than evolving.
Lin Yuan was willing to give Gray the chance to accumulate power. After all, accumulating power would never turn out to be a disadvantage.
Lin Yuan would be happy if Gray could become more mature and resistant to temptation before it evolved to Myth Breed.
The Sea Burial Lotus Flower was a carcinoma fey that Lin Yuan had nurtured into a fairy. It had expanded Lin Yuan's horizons.
Silver Corona was currently only Diamond grade, but the sea of bone lotus flowers it had created would even be able to reduce a group of 100 Myth Breed feys into fertilizer.
The 16 Class 3 dimensional rifts had been spitting out waves of alien beasts for the past year. Yet, it had not been enough for Silver Corona to reach Diamond X.
Lin Yuan intended to take Silver Corona with him to the Sky Beyond the Clouds so he could test its limits. He might be able to use Silver Corona to create a forbidden area that terrified even the native factions of the Sky Beyond the Clouds!
Lin Yuan only gave himself a week to rest. Once he was done allocating the Samsara Realm Dictators and providing Su Yiren with resources, his break would come to an end.
He intended to return to the Spirit Lock spatial zone to fuse with and take control of the alien insect world's tome.
That way, he could absorb energy from all five major dimensional worlds the next time that he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus.
Wen Yu had been communicating with Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper. Lin Yuan learned from their correspondence that she had not found the Broiling Rock Continent, where Peace was located, but she could sense their stronger link.
This meant that Peace was located to the west of the Grotto Continent.
Wen Yu was very skilled at governance and excelled at military organization, as well as the allocation of resources.
With Dazzling Silver and the other four Samsara Realm Dictators, Wen Yu managed to find three Continent Vein Cores for Lin Yuan within the short span of a few days.
This delighted Lin Yuan.
Every continent on the other side of the Barren Sea had powerful federations.
The Continent Vein Cores could be found in the strongest federation of each continent.
Once the Moon Empress created the Major Federation Union, the federations would automatically hand over their Continent Vein Cores.
The Moon Empress had already told Lin Yuan she would handle this personally, so he did no need to worry. Lin Yuan never had to worry when the Moon Empress was handling things.
Frankly, Lin Yuan thought Morbius would evolve soon after Purple Afterglow evolved to Myth Breed and its grade would also increase from Diamond to Suzerain.
However, Morbius said it would need to sleep for around ten days before its grade would be increased.
Lin Yuan went to sleep full of hope. He looked forward to the accumulation meant to take on Tower Canon as well as Morbius' evolution to Myth Breed.
Before he went to sleep, he contacted all of the subterranean Samsara Realm Dictators and instructed them to gather the Land Imps. They would then leave the subterranean world and move from the Iron Hammer Federation to Thick Soil City.
Thick Soil City was very close to the underground palace where the Space Tunnel was situated. It would make it easy for Lin Yuan to organize the Land Imps if they gathered at Thick Soil City.
Seven days would be just enough time for the Land Imps to travel!
Once he woke up, he would need to command these millions of Land Imps and organize them around the Radiance Federation. It would become the center around which the defensive fortifications would be constructed.
He would build a fortress that could remain standing amidst the ocean of dead spirits and even fend them off.
While Lin Yuan was sleepingโฆ
In a time-worn castle, a woman with an icy demeanor yet gentle eyes knelt in the vast hall's center. Her unwavering gaze fixated on a mural behind an ornate chair, the artwork in gradual flux, its details burgeoning with vibrancy.
Just a day earlier, constellations of stars had materialized around the colossal whale adjacent to the imposing figure at the drawing's core. Simultaneously, the mushroom had dwindled in size, its intricate patterns multiplying.
2615 Conflict in the Azure Federation!
A butterfly with an exquisite form had two illusionary wings sprouting from its back.
The circle around this imposingly dependable figure also started to spin. It was as though something was about to happen.
But when she saw this, the woman with the cold expression but gentle eyes started to bow sincerely and chant softly. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes and landed on the white jade floor of the vast hall.
"The Totem God is finally about to evolve to the second form! It is now certain that Lord Saint has awoken!"
The woman's expression suddenly hardened.
"The eight ants from Tower Canon are probably going to wake up from their slumber soon as well. The cheek of them to wake up at the same time as Lord Saint! I hope the mortals from this Class 3 civilization won't impact Lord Saint. Otherwise, in spite of Lord Saint's order for Epoch God Palace not to affect the mortal world, we will have to step in to eliminate this Class 3 civilization!"
Suddenly, the kneeling woman froze.
She had been thinking about other things while praying to the Totem God! This was a grievous sin!
The woman hastily started slamming her head to the ground to make up for her sin, leaving large pools of crimson and gold blood splattered all over the white jade floor.
The crimson and gold blood glinted with inexplicable life and contained laws related to the cycle of four seasons.
The sun had already risen and set numerous times outside of the hall, but the woman had yet to stop trying to repay for her sin.
...
Sky City had been started by Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Wen Yu. The first one to join Lin Yuan was Liu Jie.
Liu Jie was Lin Yuan's retainer, but his presence had always been weaker than Wen Yu's.
Wen Yu was the manager of Sky City, while Liu Jie managed the white-clothed followers.
At first, Liu Jie was busy training the white-clothed followers. But eventually, the training reached a checkpoint and Liu Jie no longer had a role to fill. He became rather free.
Liu Jie did not want to become the mooch in Sky City, so he had been trying to improve himself in terms of his governance skills.
Wen Yu had been beside herself with work, so Liu Jie could not ask her to teach him when she was already this busy.
Luckily, Lin Yuan had taken Bai Qinghuan in so Liu Jie could learn from her.
Now, he could stand on his own two feet to a certain extent!
Ever since Wen Yu started managing the business related to the dimensional worlds, Liu Jie took over the governance side of Sky City.
At first, Liu Jie was very stressed. But he pulled himself up by the bootstraps, and after holding on for a month, he finally became accustomed to the job of managing Sky City. He also learned just how difficult Wen Yu's job had been.
After leaving the Midnight Palace and dealing with most of his tasks for Sky City, Liu Jie headed straight to Thick Soil City to help manage the Land Imps.
Ta Lei had been growing rapidly, but he was still too young. It was only with Su Yiren's help that he managed to secure his position as the City Lord of Thick Soil City.
Ta Lei was already strained by managing Thick Soil City's day-to- day affairs. He did not have the energy to manage the Land Imps as well.
Su Yiren was busy with the mountain of work required to manage two giant continents.
Even if Ta Lei wanted to ask her for help, he could not bring himself to do so. As such, he could only turn to Liu Jie.
Ta Lei could not have gone to Liu Jie for help and insisted on taking on the task himself.
After all, Luo Lan's people were helping to deliver the Land Imps, and they would definitely have the Land Imps under control. The leader of the Land Imps would not dare to step out of line.
However, Ta Lei was afraid of inconveniencing Lin Yuan.
Since he could not get in contact with Lin Yuan, he naturally got in contact with Liu Jie instead.
Ta Lei was much more familiar with Liu Jie than he was with Wen Yu. Lin Yuan had brought only Liu Jie with him when he went to the Startling Lines Continent to train.
Once he received confirmation that Liu Jie was coming to Thick Soil City to help, Ta Lei was finally able to relax.
Lin Yuan had left a special Diamond fey storage box with both Liu Jie and Wen Yu. Each of these Diamond fey storage boxes contained a large amount of Item-Storing Walnuts.
The Item-Storing Walnuts were meant to enable Liu Jie and Su Yiren to utilize the Space Tunnel in the basement of the Return from Faraway Mansion.
Although there were not enough Item-Storing Walnuts in the Diamond fey storage boxes to allow Liu Jie and Wen Yu to travel between the Radiance Federation and Grotto Continent, it was enough to allow them to travel between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent more than ten times.
...
By the time Liu Jie rushed to Thick Soil City, the first batch of Land Imps had arrived. Lin Yuan needed so many Land Imps they had to be sent in batches.
Lin Yuan had emphasized to Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow that a Samsara Realm Dictator had to lead each group of Land Imps.
In order to prevent the leading Samsara Realm Dictators from coming up with any schemes, he also assigned 20 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators who were fully subservient to him to watch over these Samsara Realm Dictators.
The Samsara Realm Dictator leading the first batch was named Dark River.
Dark River was a female Samsara Realm Dictator who came from the south mine district. Her looks ranked in the top three among the female subterranean Dictators. Her bloodline was that of the Bright Stone Witch and was considered to be extremely elite.
Yet, when Lin Yuan conquered the subterranean world, he had not paid any special attention to her. This had left her very dispirited.
Dark River believed that with her features and background, there was no reason not to favor her.
Not only did she have beauty, but she also had brains. Otherwise, she would not have been able to take over the richest mine district and reigned over it this entire time.
Dark River had decided that by hook or by crook, she would leave a good impression on Lin Yuan when she headed to the main world to deliver the Land Imps.
Alas, she was disappointed to find that Lin Yuan was absent when she arrived.
Liu Jie had not left a strong impression when Lin Yuan was conquering the subterranean world.
Although Dark River did not know who Liu Jie was, she could senseFแป๐dd ๐ew upd๐t๐s on n(o)v/e/l๐
that he was very weak. He could not even compare to the relatively more ferocious Apostles!
The subterranean world was similar to the other dimensional worlds in that nothing mattered more than power.
Given Liu Jie's power, he could not gain the respect of the Samsara Realm Dictator Dark River.
Although she looked down on Liu Jie, Dark River dared not show how she truly felt because she knew that Lin Yuan trusted Liu Jie. Otherwise, he would never have left such an important task in Liu Jie's hands.
Mountain Furrow, Rock Underworld, and Hollow Earth had repeatedly told the subterranean Dictators about how important this task was to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan could enable Samsara Realm Dictators to reach the Afterlife Realm. This ability left a deep impression on all the Samsara Realm Dictators of the subterranean world, Dark River included!
Since she could not perform in front of Lin Yuan, she could ensure she at least received the basic treatment deserving of a Samsara Realm Dictator.
But if she earned Lin Yuan's ire, she would not only miss out on the chance to reach the Afterlife Realm but might even lose the benefits given to Samsara Realm Dictators.
Dark River was well aware of what her place was.
Liu Jie was able to smoothly manage and organize the Land Imps. But there were just far too many Land Imps, and collating them all was impossible.
Liu Jie mulled over this situation and decided to use Bai Qinghuan's plan. He decided to organize the Land Imps according to their strength. Those who were stronger would manage the weaker ones.
This way, Liu Jie would only need to manage the few strongest Land Imps. This would allow him to commandeer all of the Land Imps when he was organizing the relocation as well as for future tasks.
The Dictator Land Imps could not be used to build the base. Even if they were assigned such a task, they had to be in charge of special roles. Otherwise, it would be a gross waste of their talents!
Thus, Liu Jie separated the Dictator Land Imps from the rest, and they became a special team.
These Land Imps who had attained extremely strong faith power would finally be allowed to become leaders.
Liu Jie chose 30 of the strongest Land Imps and assigned the rest to them as their subordinates.
Liu Jie told these 30 Land Imps in a stern and serious voice, "You are being allowed to lead the teams of Land Imps because we trust you. From now on, you will be able to receive one earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl every month. If you perform well, you might receive additional rewards!"
The 30 Land Imps almost exploded with delight when they heard what Liu Jie said.
Normally, they would never have the right to touch resources like earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. Lin Yuan usually only gave such resources to the Samsara Realm Dictators. Liu Jie had not made these decisions on his own accord. He had communicated extensively with Lin Yuan before he made these decisions. It was Lin Yuan who had decided to use heavenly- maiden-grade elemental pearls to motivate the Land Imps.
However, Lin Yuan had not provided a structured plan, and Liu Jie devised one according to Lin Yuan's goals.
A total of eight to nine batches of the Land Imps had arrived.
The more than 200 elite Land Imps would be sufficient to complete the task to perfection.
Liu Jie worked day and night in Thick Soil City. In his spare time, he communicated with Duan He and told him to return from training with all of the white-clothed followers in tow.
The main world was being shaken, and Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival could begin anytime.
It was not appropriate for the white-clothed followers to continue training in the wild at such a time.
Moreover, Hu Quan had built the framework of Sky City on the Floating Island Whale's back. He did not lack subordinates or spiritual ingredients, but he did lack labor. The white-clothed followers would be just right to fill this gap.
If the white-clothed followers joined the building of Sky City, it would also be considered an accumulation of power.
Since Liu Jie found out that Lin Yuan's objective lay beyond the main world, he also changed his personal aim. He now also saw the world beyond the main world as the direction that he needed to work toward.
...
After the imperial meeting ended, the Moon Empress did not use the name of the Radiance Federation to establish the Major Federation Union. Instead, she established it jointly with the Azure Federation and Freedom Federation.
She sent invitations to every federation's imperial court, sending the main world into an immediate frenzy.
There was no way that any federation could go without joining a federation started by the three major federations.
The royalty of the other federations were all shocked that the meeting that established the Major Federation Union had been held in the Radiance Federation. The Freedom Federation had been the strongest of the three major federations all this time.
By all accounts, the establishment of the Major Federation Union should have been done in the Freedom Federation. There was no reason for it to have been held in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital instead.
The other federations had many doubts about the Freedom Federation's lack of protest, and they began to guess the reason behind their compromise. This did not fit with their style at all.
However, these federations did not have the courage to ask the Mirror God and God of Fools about the reason.
They wondered whether something had happened between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation.
But regardless of what the reason was, this matter allowed all the federations of the main world to know that the Radiance Federation would be the one sitting on the throne of the main world from now on.
Otherwise, the Freedom Federation would definitely have fought for something that directly involved authority over the main world! The meeting of the Major Federation Union was being held hastily.
After receiving the news, all the federations gathered their people and rushed to the Radiance Federation.
Once the Major Federation Union was established, the structure of all the main world's federations would be altered.
It was highly possible that a new ranking of the federations would replace the one established by the competition among the federation envoys during the Major Federation Meeting.
Hence, every federation intended to give their all in this matter that involved their potential benefits.
The leaders of the federations on good terms with the Radiance Federation were all jumping with joy to themselves.
The federations who had not interacted much or had no experience with the Radiance Federation were all planning ways to curry favor with the Radiance Federation.
The federations who had ties to the Freedom Federation's members of royalty were all discussing in an attempt to find out more about the situation.
The collaboration between the other federations and the Freedom Federation's royalty were all personal. They rarely collaborated in the name of their federations.
But when they contacted the Freedom Federation's royalty, none of the federations received a reply.
There were rumors that all of the Freedom Federation's royalty had rushed to the Radiance Federation upon hearing the news and were acting very strangely.
Given the circumstances, despite the lack of response from the Freedom Federation, the royalty of the other federations could guess what had happened.
...
The 12 aristocratic families of the Azure Federation held a meeting that lasted for two days. For the first time, there was a difference in opinion.
The Azure Federation was not fully united, and each of the 12 aristocratic families had their own individual sources of profits.
When their profits did not interfere with each other, they were very willing to respect each other's opinions.
But when there was a serious involvement of their profits, the aristocratic families were willing to clash violently with each other in order to preserve their personal profits!
It was said that 80 years ago, there were not 12 aristocratic families but 14 of them. However, two of the aristocratic families disappeared after a clash over profits!
2616 Morbius' Evolution!
The internal battle in the Azure Federation had shaken up the entire main world in the past.
There were both benefits and drawbacks when it came to structuring a federation around families.
The benefits were that such federations would be more concerned about a federation's development than federations under the control of royalty.
A family would be deeply rooted and intertwined with the federation, making them pay more attention to the development of the federation.
However, once there was a split in opinion among the families, the conflict that should have been about the federation's strategy would become one about the families' personal issues.
When families fought, their priority would be to secure their own profits, and they were willing to fight to the death for them!
Such conflict was the most evident among feys. Whenever two species fought, it always resulted in the death of one of the species.
The 12 aristocratic families all had fey bloodlines, giving them their beast patterns.
There were already signs of daggers preparing to be drawn at this Azure Federation imperial meeting.
"You decided to ally with the Radiance Federation and gave up on remaining neutral between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation. I didn't oppose this and went with your decision.
"We lost all the formidability of a major federation by following the Radiance Federation's lead completely in the matter of the Freedom Federation. But I didn't point out any doubts either. The favor that we owe the Radiance Federation can be said to be repaid. But now, you are suggesting we submit to the Radiance Federation. Yin Tong, what are you trying to do?"
An elder wearing a long blue robe with cloud patterns as well as a leopard crest on his chest stroked his beard and said seriously, "Lu He, watch what you say! Take a look at where you are! You will have to take responsibility for every word you utter in the Azure Federation's imperial court!
"There are three things wrong with what you just said. Let me make things clear for you now!
"Firstly, you willingly participated in the vote during our imperial meeting to decide on forming an alliance with the Radiance Federation. No one coerced you through marital power; this was your voluntary choice. Therefore, you cannot claim you merely followed along. Gรชtt the latest ch๐pters on n๐
"When you made your decision, it was in favor of the option most advantageous to the Azure Elf Cat species. Furthermore, the Azure Elf Cat species greatly benefited from aligning with the Radiance Federation within the Freedom Federation. If you have doubts about this, then the Azure Elf Cat species should relinquish these profits first.
"Secondly, you mentioned that the Azure Federation has repaid the Radiance Federation for their past assistance. This is entirely incorrect! Repaying the Radiance Federation remains an ongoing obligation for us.
"The Azure Federation found itself in a position of utter vulnerability when confronted with a crisis. The Freedom Federation explicitly refused to aid us during this critical juncture. Even when other federations boasting Class 5 Creation Masters observed our inability to handle the situation independently, they chose to remain passive observers.
"The Radiance Federation extended their helping hand precisely when we needed it most. Surely you recall what would have befallen the Azure Federation had they acted differently! Witnessing the fate of Fresh City in the Freedom Federation due to the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift serves as a stark reminder.
"The Radiance Federation rescued us; how could we ever repay such a debt? Our only chance to consider it repaid is if we, in turn, rescue them from a crisis. Have you lived so long that you've forgotten the fundamental principles of human bonds?"
Yin Tong, a man of few words, left Lu He utterly speechless with his recent statement. Beads of sweat formed on Lu He's back.
Not swayed by Lu He's expression, Yin Tong continued resolutely, "Lu He, our centuries-long camaraderie speaks volumes about our mutual understanding. You accuse me of aligning with the Radiance Federation, yet aren't you the one consistently favoring the Freedom Federation? Is it not because of your ongoing dealings with certain members within the Freedom Federation?
"We convene here to resolve this issue, sparing niceties. Objectively suggesting that the Freedom Federation should be our ally over the Radiance Federation is nothing short of ignoring reality. However, if your stance is driven solely by personal gain, it reflects poorly on your character. Lu He, I've conveyed all that's necessary. The floor is yours for rebuttal."
Lu He's lips twitched when he heard what Yin Tong said. He wanted to bite back but could not come up with a single word.
Everything that Yin Tong had said was true.
Although Yin Tong seemed to be pointing the finger at him based on principles, he was not wrong. If he tried to rebuke him, he would only be making specious arguments/
With so many people here, specious arguments would be exposed immediately and have no practical effect.
However, Lu He could not remain silent.
If he did not make a statement after being cornered by Yin Tong to such an extent, nothing he said during future imperial meetings would carry any weight!
With this thought, Lu He was about to speak when Fang Lingzhan patted him and said, "Old Lu, one should always set one's sights as far into the future as possible. I'm sure you're aware of this!
"The Freedom Federation is no longer the wielder of control. The one in control is now the Radiance Federation! Otherwise, why would the Freedom Federation have agreed to the Radiance Federation's request and handed over so many resources? They even allowed the Radiance Federation to depart safely! I am also working with a few of the Freedom Federation's royalty, but I agree with Yin Tong's proposal!"
Fang Lingzhan was the leader of the Azure Soaring Eagle family, ranked among the top three of the 12 aristocratic families. It held a lot of sway in the Azure Federation's imperial court.
Moreover, Fang Lingzhang was right in that the Azure Soaring Eagle family had always staunchly supported allying with the Freedom Federation.
He could only be changing his attitude now because he had considered the current situation and knew that the Freedom Federation was no longer the superpower they used to be.
However, the others did not agree with Fang Lingzhan. There were a few aristocratic families who were firmly against supporting the promotion of the Radiance Federation to the head of the Major Federation Union.
Because of Yin Lin, Yin Tong knew the most about the Radiance Federation out of the people present.
It was impossible to persuade the stubborn. Since they could not be persuaded, Yin Tong did not bother to do so. "Since we can't see eye to eye, no one can make decisions for another. So, let's not speak on behalf of each other. Let's head to the Radiance Federation together so we can save ourselves from this senseless argument!
"If your minds aren't changed even after you arrive at the Radiance Federation, you can make your stance clear to them then. I don't feel any opposition toward this! But I suggest that you go and take a look at the Freedom Federation's reaction first.
"Otherwise, if you end up impacting the Azure Federation's profits, you will sin against the Azure Federation, which will be recorded in the history books! You will also end up erased from the Azure Federation, just like what had happened to those two families! That is my solemn warning for you!"
Yin Tong immediately ended the meeting after saying that.
It had not been Yin Tong's intention to be so abrasive, but he saw no other option. If they had to argue to the point that a victor emerged, no one would be willing to back down, and the consequences would be irreparable! This was not what Yin Tong wanted.
These old men were stubborn, but none of them were fools. They would definitely understand their circumstances when it came to such small matters!
At that time, the Freedom Federation's reaction would definitely change the minds of these old men!
The time of the Freedom Federation had passed. It was time for the spotlight to shine on the Radiance Federation!
Given the circumstances, all the smart people would know not to resist as there was no way that it would lead to a positive result!

Lin Yuan finally woke up from his slumber.
The first thing he did was take out his phone to check the time. He saw that he had been sleeping for almost nine days.
Although he had woken up, Morbius was still asleep.
Once Morbius woke up, Lin Yuan could witness Morbius evolve to Myth Breed!
Lin Yuan did not have to sleep again and could properly address all his business in the main world!
The Grotto Continent was in Wen Yu's hands, so there was nothing for Lin Yuan to be worried about. The Moon Empress was handling the Major Federation Union. What Lin Yuan needed to do was use the Land Imps to build the base in the Radiance Federation.
Before Lin Yuan went to sleep, he left the matter of handling the delivery of the Land Imps to Liu Jie, and he had great faith in Liu Jie's competency.
Indeed, Liu Jie had not disappointed Lin Yuan and had delivered the Land Imps in batches to the Radiance Federation.
There was no way that the Land Imps could be delivered through the Space Tunnel. After all, Lin Yuan did not have enough Item-Storing Walnuts to support such a method of transportation.
Luckily, the Startling Lines Continent was not far from the Radiance Federation, and the Island Whales could be used for long-distance deliveries!
Lin Yuan had already informed the Moon Empress and the Radiance Federation had sent more than 30 Island Whales who were already waiting in the Great Lush Federation's harbor. All Liu Jie needed to do was move the Land Imps to the Great Lush Federation's harbor once he had taken stock of them in Thick Soil City!
By the time Lin Yuan woke up, almost 40,000,000 Land Imps had been delivered to the Radiance Federation.
As such, there was no need for Lin Yuan to head to Thick Soil City. He could sit tight and wait in the Radiance Federation.
He needed an extremely large space in order to organize these Land Imps. It would not be easy to find such a space.
When the Moon Empress found out about Lin Yuan's plan, she made advance preparations and dug out six mountains near the Royal Capital.
These six mountains were the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital's most famous vacation spots and were usually bustling with activity. Visitors from other cities always paid them a visit.
But special times called for special measures. The six mountains were not large enough to house all of the Land Imps. However, the Land Imps could alter the ground of the six mountains and create expansive underground spaces where they could reside.
Lin Yuan instructed the Land Imps to clean up the environment around the six mountains before they began building the underground spaces.
He had already prepared all of the resources. Once the Land Imps arrived, they could immediately begin working on the mountains and changing the environment of the Radiance Federation so as to prevent the dead spirits from breaching the Radiance Federation's ground!
Lin Yuan's idea seemed like a pie in the sky, but not only would the Land Imps be able to fulfill Lin Yuan's plan, but they would even go beyond what Lin Yuan had asked in order to curry favor with him and demonstrate their value!
Once Lin Yuan was certain that the Land Imps had started working and could carry out his request, he immediately headed to the Radiant Moon Palace.
It had been a long time since Lin Yuan had the chance to sit down and have a good chat with the Moon Empress.
Both of them had been busy. But the invitations for the Major Federation Union had already been sent out. The Moon Empress could take a good rest for the next few days before the royalty from the other federations arrived.
The Radiance Federation's establishment of the Major Federation Union should be extremely joyous. However, none of the Radiance Federation's royalty looked happy because they were all aware of Tower Canon's evil scheme.
With this impending disaster that was approaching the main world, the Radiance Federation's members of royalty were all doing their best to protect the Radiance Federation.
Resources were rapidly being stocked up. The Radiance Federation's royalty were not stingy with their personal resources, and this especially applied to Cicada Song!
Cicada Song had distributed almost all of his resources to the 32 City Lords so they could develop the City Guards to the maximum extent. This would not only involve increasing the City Guards' power but also increasing their numbers. This would also ensure that every reserve guard obtained a Platinum fey.
If the dead spirits invaded the cities, the reserve City Guards would be the main pillar of strength that protected the Radiance Federation's citizens!
The Radiance Federation's royalty all released their own resources to elevate the Radiance Federation's overall power, and the top resources given out by the Moon Empress had also allowed the royalty's own power to increase significantly.
The veteran and top factions of the Radiance Federation had also improved substantially.
Now that Lin Yuan was back in the Radiance Federation, he should be helping the experts whose feys needed help overcoming their World Cleansings.
However, it was urgent that Morbius evolved its grade and quality.
Once Morbius evolved its grade and quality, not only would the spirit qi crystals be produced at a faster rate, but the amount of spirit qi contained in each spirit qi crystals would also increase.
Lin Yuan had just arrived at the foot of Leaning Moon Mountain when he heard Morbius' voice in his head. "Partner, I can evolve at any time! Before I evolve, you will need to find a place for me that is completely empty. This evolution will cause a rather large commotion! I can promise that this evolution will benefit both of us significantly!"
Lin Yuan was delighted and immediately used the Ethereal Jellyfish's Node Transportation to travel to a remote location at the border of the Royal Capital and Ascending Dragon City.
2617 14 Totem Seeds!
The Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer had evolved here. It was also here that Lin Yuan had obtained the Kill Food Worm from the Cage of Brahma Insects' Fan Jianyi.
Eventually, the Kill Food Worm had evolved into the Kill Food Sky Butterfly and found a partner in Purple Afterglow.
Lin Yuan felt slightly sentimental now that he was back here.
Now, he was going to witness Morbius' evolution here.
Lin Yuan always felt that Morbius was very special. He could not regard Morbius under the same lens that he viewed everything else.
Regular feys would never have an exclusive skill when they were only Normal grade.
Even after reaching Diamond grade, Morbius could not see its own species on True Data. The section was still filled with three question marks.
He did not know if Morbius would finally be able to see its own species after it evolved to Suzerain/Myth.
Frankly, Lin Yuan did not want Morbius to see its own species too soon.
The later that Morbius gained access to its species, the more powerful it would be.
Each time one of the spirit-locked feys evolved, Morbius' abilities changed when it evolved.
When Lin Yuan first acquired Morbius, its exclusive skill, Spirit Lock involved nurturing feys within the Spirit Lock spatial zone. These nurtured feys couldn't possess a higher grade than Morbius itself. Morbius' grade couldn't evolve independently; rather, it would only advance through the evolution of the spirit-locked feys, gaining their initial abilities.
However, Morbius couldn't acquire abilities through its own evolutions.
As Morbius' grade increased, it could nurture another fey each time without any alteration to this grade increment method.
However, when Morbius reached Silver grade, Spirit Lock underwent an improvement. Now, there was no longer a restriction preventing Morbius from gaining abilities through its own evolution.
It was at that time that Morbius gained Spirit Qi Condensation.
After it gained Spirit Qi Condensation, a stone bowl appeared in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Periodically, a spirit qi crystal would be formed in the stone bowl. At the time, this was Lin Yuan's only way of obtaining spirit qi crystals.
Later, after Lin Yuan used the Pure Land of Bliss to heal the Mother of Bloodbath when it evolved to Myth II, he accidentally allowed the Pure Land of Bliss to absorb the Mother of Bloodbath's World Grace. From this, he obtained numerous spirit qi crystals.
Even until now, Lin Yuan could not be certain if this was because of the Pure Land of Bliss or because of Spirit Qi Condensation.
Although Spirit Lock no longer prevented Morbius from gaining new abilities, it could not gain a new ability every time it increased its grade.
Morbius' gaining of abilities seemed to be coincidental.
When Morbius evolved to Diamond grade, it gained a new ability called Spirit Lock Filling.
Spirit Lock Filling's effects would fill an empty spirit-lock slot so that Morbius' evolution or improvement would not be affected. The ability could also be used for multiple grades. If a spirit-locked fey's grade had reached the limit, Spirit Lock Filling could be used to remove the limit so that Morbius' evolution would not be impacted.
This ability greatly increased Morbius' margin of error. There was also no urgency for Lin Yuan to find a new fey to spirit lock now that he had contracted the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom. He could just use Spirit Lock Filling to fill the empty slot.
Lin Yuan had two Endless Gems he had not used to unlock the spirit-locked feys. One of them came from the subterranean world, while the other came from the alien insect world.
Presently, Lin Yuan did not have any good options for earth- or insect-species feys.
Lin Yuan did not want to force matters when it came to spirit-locking feys. When he spirit locked a fey, he had to ensure it would help with Morbius' grade evolution and integrate perfectly into Lin Yuan's combat system.
Lin Yuan intended to wait until Morbius evolved to Sovereign/Creation before he picked a fey to spirit lock.
After all, he had no idea how long he had to wait before Morbius could evolve to Sovereign/Creation.
Lin Yuan had become an A-rank spirit qi professional.
A-rank spirit qi professionals needed to cross an enormous gap in order to reach S-rank. This was not something that could be accomplished in a short span of time.
Lin Yuan told Morbius softly, "Partner, let's begin! Do you need Eternal Source's help when you are evolving?"
Morbius said cheerfully, "Partner, based on my memory, we are in a Class 1 world. The World Cleansings that appear in Class 1 worlds won't be able to affect me, so there's no need for you to worry.
"I said that I might cause a large commotion because I will be undergoing my evolution while containing the auras of six spirit-locked feys. The auras of the six spirit-locked feys will definitely alter the World Cleansing. However, there is no cause for concern."
Once Morbius was done with its explanation, Lin Yuan felt his wrist grow hot, and Morbius started spinning as it flew off from Lin Yuan's wrist.
There were ten Endless Gems embedded in Morbius' indentations.
The treasures from the dimensional worlds had been produced after Morbius tempered the energy from the Endless Gems.
They could not be produced simply from piecing two Endless Gems together. Otherwise, powerful lifeforms from the dimensional worlds would already have formed contracts with the treasures and used them to take over the dimensional worlds.
Morbius had looked plain when it was on Lin Yuan's wrist. But now, it looked extremely extravagant.
There were intricate patterns carved all over Morbius, and it seemed as though they could form the totems of all the creatures in the world when they were pieced together.
The patterns were so intricate they were almost hypnotizing, but when one focused, every line would become extremely clear.
When Morbius released its aura, a hole larger than that of regular World Cleansings appeared in the sky.
Lin Yuan looked at the hole and saw that there were smaller holes within the large one. The small holes were all overlapping, and one could not determine where they ended. It was impossible to tell where each one started and ended.
At that moment, the holes were all spewing the World Cleansing's dark clouds, flaming clouds, lightning-filled clouds, poisonous clouds, lava, hail, thunderbolts, and rocks. Every type of World Cleansing that Lin Yuan had seen and not seen yet were all crashing down towards Morbius.
All ten Endless Gems on Morbius' body lit up simultaneously.
They started absorbing the attacks from the World Cleansings according to their individual types.
Eternal Source used his aura to create a 500-square-kilometer cage around the area. Otherwise, the shocks would be throughout the entire Radiance Federation.
Normally, a fey's World Cleansing would not last more than two hours if they had no one helping them and they had to endure all the attacks on their own.
However, Morbius' World Cleansing lasted five days and five nights before it finally ended.
The World Grace of other Myth Breed feys always appeared as a white mist of energy.
But once Morbius was done with its World Cleansing, a waterfall of white fluid flowed out from the hole. The fluid-like World Grace crashed down on Morbius like violent rapids.
Lin Yuan almost bit through his tongue when he saw that.
Although he had already done all he could to quell the commotion that Morbius was causing, he had not expected Morbius' World Grace to be so startling.
Morbius rapidly absorbed the waterfall-like World Grace.
Morbius was like a black hole, gobbling all of the World Grace.
But the white fluid World Grace was just the beginning, and Lin Yuan soon realized something was wrong.
The World Grace pouring out from the hole turned faint gold before intensifying into a deep gold.
It took three days before the World Grace stopped pouring out from the hole.
Once Morbius was done absorbing the World Grace, the rust-colored light around it exploded.
Lin Yuan saw that cracks had appeared on Morbius.
Morbius' shape as a bangle had not changed, but a larger and collar-like Morbius had appeared.
The collar-like Morbius had 13 slashes, dividing the collar into 14 sections.
The collar was very plain and did not have many accessories attached to it.
But the rust-colored light made the plain collar seem quaint and stylish.
The collar and bangle spun around before returning to Lin Yuan's body.
At that moment, Morbius, who looked similar to Lin Yuan, appeared in a spirit form next to him.
This was the first time that Morbius was appearing in the real world. Previously, it could only maintain its form in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Morbius looked at Lin Yuan, who was close by, and patted Lin Yuan's left shoulder forcefully, just like Liu Jie would do.
"Partner, I can meet with you in this human form even if you're not in the Spirit Lock spatial zone! Breathing the air of the real world feels much freer than holing up in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!"
Lin Yuan touched Morbius' right shoulder and forcefully patted it.
At that moment, Lin Yuan and Morbius looked like a set of twins.
Lin Yuan could tell that Morbius was very happy and could not help but smile. "Partner, will you be able to slowly gain a tangible body as you continue to increase your grade and quality?"
Morbius was silent momentarily before it said with uncertainty, "That is possible, but I can't say for sure what will happen after my evolution. The Spirit Lock spatial zone has been locked. A small portion of the World Grace I absorbed is being used to strengthen the Spirit Lock spatial zone. The renovation will take at least a month.
"I do have a piece of good news, which is that Klein Hub will also be strengthened alongside the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Once strengthened, Klein Hub will become large enough to transport Sky Sea!
"I have moved all of the lifeforms in the Spirit Lock spatial zone to the vicinity of the Pure Land of Bliss. They won't be affected by the renovation of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
"I also intentionally used some of the World Grace to temper the Elemental Shellfish in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. The Elemental Shellfish will probably provide you with a pleasant surprise!"
While Morbius was speaking, Lin Yuan used True Data to check on it.

[True Data: All complicated information that is invisible to the eye is turned into data. Information that is turned into data might contain truth that cannot be distinguished on the surface.
[Calm Mind: Passive ability. Effects of Calm Mind can be improved according to the fey's grade. Calm Mind can stabilize the mind and has a certain probability of resisting negative conditions.
[Spirit Qi Condensation: Gather the spirit qi in the air and Spirit Lock spatial zone. The gathered spirit qi will form spirit qi crystals that can enhance feys and source-type lifeforms.

[Spirit Lock: Morbius' spatial zone can be used to nurture feys. The initial grade of the fey that Morbius' spatial zone can nurture must not be higher than Morbius' grade. Morbius isn't able to increase its grade by itself, so its grade will be increased along with the fey's grade that it nurtures.
[Pure Land of Bliss: The Spirit Lock spatial zone will produce soil that is great for recovering near-death fey's injuries. The grade of Morbius and the dying fey will determine the fey's recovery time.
[Klein Hub: Swallow and bind the dimensional hub that connects to the dimensional world into the Spirit Lock spatial zone. During the binding process, the lifeforms and items in the Spirit Lock spatial zone will enter the connected dimensional world. However, the dimensional world's lifeforms will not be able to enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
[14 Totem Seeds: The seeds of 14 totems can be given to 14 separate species. The 14 species will use their faith and power sources to incubate the totem seeds, enabling them to grow into totem trees. The species will then be engraved on the neck as totems. Once a species is carved onto the neck, the entire species' lifeform rank will be raised and given a unique totem ability.

Lin Yuan immediately looked happy when he heard what Morbius said.
Morbius' words were nothing but good news to Lin Yuan.
After Sky Sea evolved to Myth Breed, its body became so large that Lin Yuan could not transport it back to the main world through Klein Hub.
After taking control of the Freedom Federation's royalty, Lin Yuan could use the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift in the Freedom Federation as he pleased.
But if he used the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift to transport Sky Sea, he would end up exposing the secret of Sky Sea.
It was true that the Moon Empress had taken control of all of the Freedom Federation's royalty. However, many people were still in the Freedom Federation, and he could not be certain that Tower Canon did not have spies hiding there.
Lin Yuan did not want to expose the secret of Sky Sea and give Tower Canon a chance to target it.
But if Klein Hub became large enough that Sky Sea could be transported through it, Lin Yuan could bring Sky Sea to the main world with no issues.
Hu Quan could then continue building Sky City on Sky Sea's back in the main world.
This would save Lin Yuan the effort of having to enter the marsh world periodically to deliver resources to Hu Quan.
Besides increasing the size of Klein Hub and the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Morbius' evolution also refined the Elemental Shellfish in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
There were more than 50 Elemental Shellfish in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
It was likely that the elemental pearls produced by these refined Elemental Shellfish would break through the current limits of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
These highly pure elemental resources would allow Lin Yuan to increase his subordinates' powers when it came to water, earth, wind, and fire elements. It was even possible that their bloodlines would be evolved.
Once Lin Yuan arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, these elemental pearls would allow him to rapidly break ground and launch his plans.
It was a shame that feys like the Ice Sealing Frozen Carps and Wood-Building Winged Sandflies, which could also produce highly pure elemental resources, did not produce resources in the same way that the Elemental Shellfish produced the elemental pearls. As such, there was no way to evolve them in the same way.
Lin Yuan had the Element Well and could further raise the purity of the elemental pearls.
The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would be blessed in the future!
With these extremely pure types of elemental energy, there was a high chance that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would evolve again.
Lin Yuan had not had the chance to reach the peak of his happiness when Morbius' new exclusive skill, 14 Totem Seeds, caught his eye. He also understood that the ring on his neck was a result of 14 Totem Seeds.
14 Totem Seeds allowed Lin Yuan to gain 14 totem seeds that he could choose to give to 14 different species. The species he chose would use their faith and sources of energy to nurture the totem seeds and grow them into totem trees.
When the totem trees were grown, the species would be added to the totem carving on his neck. The entire species' life rank would also be raised, and they would gain a unique totem ability.
As of now, Lin Yuan did not know if there was a relationship between the totem abilities and abilities and exclusive skills. But he believed that an ability from Morbius would not be weaker than an exclusive skill!
For now, Lin Yuan did not know which species he should give the totem seeds to.
After thinking about it for some time, he picked the mermaids and Hundred Questions Beasts.
The Hundred Questions Beasts could gain Creation Master abilities after evolving and could also be nurtured to teach other lifeforms. This made them worth nurturing even when he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Lin Yuan chose the mermaids because he could be considered one of them. If he gave a totem seed to the mermaids to nurture into a totem tree, Lin Yuan would also gain a totem ability. This way, he would be hitting two birds with one stone.
When Morbius saw Lin Yuan using True Data to check on it, it said with a smile, "Partner, my True Data ability became stronger after I evolved to Myth Breed! I will be able to display the data of all lifeforms of the spirit-fire level and below!"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.
The strengthening of True Data would improve Lin Yuan's ability to check on other experts.
True Data also allowed Lin Yuan to assess whether the target possessed power beyond the spirit-fire level!
No matter how skilled at masking the target was, Lin Yuan would be able to see through them with ease!
Morbius' evolution had caused a large commotion.
Luckily, Eternal Source was there to release his Afterlife Realm aura and block out the outside world. This kept the commotion from alerting the Royal Capital and Ascending Dragon City.
Moreover, all of the World Cleansing and World Grace had landed on Morbius and had not disturbed the surrounding environment in the slightest!
After the evolution, Lin Yuan did not linger here and left with Morbius. He rushed to the Radiant Moon Palace using Node Transportation.
Morbius was done with its evolution, and Lin Yuan could finally have a good chat with the Moon Empress!
โฆ
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan did not know that something big had happened in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
This event had shaken up many of the Sky Beyond the Clouds' factions.
The Sky Beyond the Clouds was split into four universes: north, south, east, and west. There were millions of factions in the four universes.
The experts from the four universes had all witnessed 1/3 of the fates of the four universes being drained in the short span of a few hours!
The 'hour' was the most insignificant unit of measurement to the lifeforms from the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The Sky Beyond the Clouds' minions went into seclusion for centuries. If they came out before a millennium had passed, it would be considered a short period of seclusion.
This event went beyond the understanding of many factions, and the 'holiness' of Honor Absent Palace looked toward the dome in the direction of the East Universe.
A taboo legend surfaced in his mind as he looked at the cascading stars. The legend alluded to the winds of change.
Once the legend came to pass, there would be 14 species left that would become the pillars of every world.
โฆ
The elder from Faerie Institution, which was located in the South Universe, was in his treehouse. He palmed the jade-like fruit in his hand as he mumbled, "If the legend is true, we faeries must secure one of the seeds!"
โฆ
This event did not cause any obvious changes to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. It only generated topics for conversation.
However, a large hidden storm was brewing below the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
The factions with a certain amount of power were all yearning, fearing, and waiting for something.
โฆ
The Moon Empress had found out about how Lin Yuan had arrived at the foot of Leaning Moon Mountain a few days ago but left in a hurry due to an unknown reason.
If the Moon Empress did not believe Lin Yuan could handle himself, she would have pursued this matter. She would be afraid Lin Yuan had encountered a problem he could not solve but was unwilling to ask her for help.
But the Moon Empress now knew how capable Lin Yuan was, so she did not probe into the matter. Instead, she waited silently in the Radiant Moon Palace for Lin Yuan to come to see her once he was done with what he needed to do.
Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress spoke for an entire day after he arrived at the Radiant Moon Palace.
Next, he used the few days of free time before the Major Federation Union began to take the Moon Empress to the subterranean and alien insect worlds to obtain their moons through her sacred source lifeform, Forage Moon.๐ read latest ch๐pters at n/๐v(e)lbi๐.co/m
With the main world's moon included, Forage Moon had taken control of six moons.
If the Moon Empress wanted, she could release six moons into the sky simultaneously and cause hell to rain down on earth!
The Moon Empress detected Forage Moon's current strength and recognized Lin Yuan's significant contribution to her newfound power, far more than she, his Master, had ever assisted him.
This realization left the Moon Empress feeling a profound sense of shame. Nevertheless, there was nothing she could do about it. He had become too formidable!
Even if she did not want him to be strong-headed and wanted to insist on helping him, he was already astonishingly strong.
Previously, the Moon Empress feared she would not have the power to stand her ground. But now, with Forage Moon, she could take on the Mirror God and God of Fools during the Major Federation Union. Even if she did not already have them under her control, she could retain control as the head of the Major Federation Union.
โฆ
In the evening, Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion. Liu Jie would bring the last batch of Land Imps to the Radiance Federation tonight.
When the Land Imps were being gathered in the subterranean world, almost 40,000 Vein Land Imps had been discovered.
There were only 40,000 Vein Land Imps in the entire enormous subterranean world!
This showed just how lucky Lin Yuan had been to have encountered Heavy Mountain in the Class 3 subterranean dimensional rift in the Startling Lines Continent!
Lin Yuan did not instruct Rock Underworld, Hollow Earth, and Mountain Furrow to send the 40,000 Vein Land Imps to the Radiance Federation.
Vein Land Imps were much more capable of building than Land Imps. However, Lin Yuan felt that the Vein Land Imps' talents would be better used digging up and tapping into mineral veins!
The 40,000 Vein Land Imps could work with the other subterranean Dictators and Apostles to rapidly discover and harvest from the mineral veins.
The Ten Thousand River Rock Willow could also help to locate the mineral veins.
Due to the existence of the Mine-Birthing Well, the subterranean world would never run out of mineral resources. Even if a large proportion of the mineral resources was harvested, the Mine-Birthing Well only needed some time for its effects to work before the mineral resources in the subterranean world's mineral resources would be replenished.
The mineral resources in the main world were limited.
The Radiance Federation's store of resources was only equivalent to that of one of the subterranean world's four mine districts! This was an undeniable fact!
Even if the Major Federation Union could progress smoothly and the other factions were willing to follow the Radiance Federation's lead, they would not be willing to cough up their own mineral resources to help the Radiance Federation build up their defenses. It would be better if the Radiance Federation drew on the subterranean world's supply to source for resources for their defense.
Lin Yuan had not yet asked Hu Quan to draw up a blueprint for the Radiance Federation's fortification.
Firstly, Hu Quan's focus was on the construction taking place on Sky Sea's back. The construction of Sky City on Sky Sea's back was the foundation of Sky City itself. Secondly, Hu Quan's skills lay in intricate designs and beautification rather than defense and fortification.
There were many Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen in the Radiance Federation, and the Moon Empress had already gathered all of them.
When the Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen understood the situation and learned of its urgency, they decided to carry out the building of the defenses in three stages.
The first stage had already been completed within five days.
Before Liu Jie returned to the Radiance Federation, he had handed over his work to the Moon Empress, who then held a discussion with Lin Yuan.
For the past few days, the Land Imps had already created many 50-meter-thick metal-type stone boards as per Lin Yuan's request. There were layers of metal spiritual ingredients within each metal-type stone board.
Three layers of Crushing Soul Gold formed a thick mesh at the bottom that water could only penetrate.
The Land Imps were gifted at combining metal with metal, metal with stone, and stone with stone.
Once the final batch of Land Imps arrived, they could get into full swing!
Some of the Radiance Federation's royalty suggested they should wait until the Major Federation Union began before they started building the base.
That would demonstrate their formidability to the other federations and show them just how powerful the Radiance Federation was!
However, after their discussion, Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress had decided against this.
The Radiance Federation's formidability was already on display. Even the Freedom Federation had submitted to the Radiance Federation, so there was no need for the Radiance Federation to further demonstrate their formidability.
Time was required to enable safety. The other defensive work could wait to be built right before the disaster broke out, but the metal and stone boards had to be laid down first.
The Land Imps would not cause much disturbance to the Radiance Federation's regular citizens while working underground. All they would feel was the occasional tremor.
โฆ
The Land Imps quickly spread out, beginning at the Royal Capital and fanning across various locations within the Radiance Federation. Thousands of Land Imps positioned themselves at the Federation's city borders. The unique metal-type stone boards were laid both inside and outside the territories.
As the metal-type stone boards covered every corner of the Radiance Federation, their deployment extended beyond its borders.
Upon Liu Jie's return to the Radiance Federation, he reassumed leadership over the Land Imps. Immediately, he scoured the markets, selecting cooking ingredients to bring back to the Return from Faraway Mansion.
It had been a considerable amount of time since Liu Jie had last prepared a meal for Lin Yuan, and he felt a sense of unease over the delay.
Once back at the Return from Faraway Mansion, Liu Jie set about preparing a meal for Lin Yuan. Afterward, he had plans to journey to the Midnight Palace to establish contracts with the remaining insect-species carcinoma feys.
He intended to control these feys to combat the dead spirits effectively. As long as he didn't restrain these carcinoma feys' abilities, they would reach their full potential.
The insect-species carcinoma feys Liu Jie sought to command possessed the remarkable ability to consume soul fire, dead aura, bones, and toxins. These dead spirits would serve as a delectable feast for some of these feys!
2619 The Attacking Bai Qinghuan! ๐ read latest ch๐pters at n/๐v(e)lbi๐.co/m
The thought of this filled Liu Jie with excitement.
This meant that Liu Jie would use his power to protect the Radiance Federation he loved. Furthermore, he wanted to show Lin Yuan how much he had grown!
For dinner, Liu Jie made grilled seafood, red braised meat, ribs, and passionfruit-roasted beef.
Since he and Lin Yuan were the only ones in the Return from Faraway Mansion and Lin Yuan did not have as large of an appetite as Wen Yu did, Liu Jie did not make too much food.
Lin Yuan was never the type to waste food. It was actually the opposite, as Lin Yuan was very frugal regarding food despite possessing numerous resources that would allow him to create batch after batch of experts.
Since Lin Yuan liked eating meat and all of the dishes were meat dishes, Liu Jie used fresh jujubes to make a jujube punch to serve as a drink and dessert.
Lin Yuan had been very busy. Aside from when he was sleeping, Lin Yuan rarely had the chance to have a proper meal.
Lin Yuan usually filled his nutritional needs with the Soldier Ration Radish leaves so that he would not have to use up his time eating.
Now that he was getting to eat Liu Jie's food again after such a long time had passed, Lin Yuan was filled with contentment and bliss.
Little Flower and Little Grass were studying in the Spirit Qi Occupation School in the Royal Capital.
There happened to be a summer camp now, and Lin Yuan had registered for both Little Flower and Little Grass to attend.
Qin Lun had been sent to Qin Yu's side two months ago, so he no longer lived in the Return from Faraway Mansion.
Luckily, there were still 20 Hundred Questions Beasts that Lin Yuan had yet to evolve in the Return from Faraway Mansion to manage the place.
The Return from Faraway Mansion was running smoothly, and Master Hong Shen was living right next to the Return from Faraway Mansion.
Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran had already started participating in the qualifying rounds as the Dome Guild Club reserve team. They needed to pass the qualifying rounds before they were given the ticket to participate in the S Tournament's elimination rounds.
It would be easy for the four of them to earn the ticket to participate in the S Tournament.
All of them were disciples whom Master Hong Shen had taught personally. Not even the main members of top factions were always lucky enough to have a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master as their master!
Lu Pinru and Wen Yu had created a fashion brand called Pinru's Home. The brand was considered a luxury one and used luxury resources like elemental pearls, jade-textured wood, and various types of gems to adorn the clothes that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce then sold. Sometimes, the top custom-made clothes were also auctioned off on Star Web. As a result, Lu Pinru was swimming in money.
Lu Pinru was the only one of the four who had joined Sky City.
After dinner, Liu Jie put the dishes away and sat beside Lin Yuan. He looked at him with a slightly worried gaze and asked, "Lin Yuan, is there really no way to reverse Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan?"
Lin Yuan did not reply to Liu Jie immediately. Instead, he handed Liu Jie a hot cup of Three Treasures Tea and said, "Big Brother Liu, if there was a way to reverse this, I wouldn't be sitting here now!"
Two years had passed since Lin Yuan became a spirit qi professional.
He had been reborn into this world and would be turning 19 years old soon.
Even if he had turned 19 years old two years ago, it would be impossible for him to stop Tower Canon's plan.
There was no way to reverse death aura in the ground that had seeped into ley lines as they would have immediately corroded them.
Even if Lin Yuan found out about this 19 years ago, all he would be able to do was do his best to set up defenses for the main world so that he would be able to prepare for Tower Canon's plan in advance.
Liu Jie's lips curled upwards when he heard what Lin Yuan said.
Liu Jie could imagine what the apocalypse that involved all the lifeforms that had ever lived in the world turning into dead spirits would look like. Such an apocalypse would last for thousands of years and might not end even after more than ten generations had come and passed.
The sixth epoch would begin with the apocalypse, and it would last long into the progression of the epoch.
Liu Jie did not want to see such a day arrive, but there was nothing he would be able to do about a situation that even rendered Lin Yuan helpless.
When he saw the expression on Liu Jie's face, Lin Yuan handed him a jujube.
"Big Brother Liu, we have the ability to make change happen if we put in the effort. The only thing we can do is to face this crisis bravely. Luckily, we won't be going into this crisis completely vulnerable but with advance preparations made."
Morbius regained some of its memories after it evolved to Myth Breed. This allowed Lin Yuan to understand what a Class 1 world was and how a Class 1 world could be promoted to a Class 2 world.
The key point to promoting a Class 1 world to Class 2 is to combine that world with all the dimensional worlds that it was linked to.
Once a Class 1 world was combined with all the dimensional worlds it was linked to, its class would be promoted.
The key to combining the main world and the dimensional worlds was the treasures of the five dimensional worlds that Lin Yuan possessed.
If Lin Yuan wanted to, he could help the main world promote to a Class 2 world.
Since that was the case, Lin Yuan wondered if he could combine the main world with the five dimensional worlds after the Sleeper's Revival plan began.
The dimensional worlds were separate from the main world's ley lines. Thus, their ley lines would not be affected by the death aura after they combined with the main world.
Moreover, the dimensional lifeforms would also be able to effectively take on the dead spirits. Otherwise, given the number of humans and feys in the main world, there were far too few of them to be able to confidently take on the dead spirits.
This was why the Moon Empress was filled with despair and negativity when she learned about the Sleeper's Revival plan.
Liu Jie nodded seriously. Since he could not prevent the disaster from happening, he could only do what Lin Yuan was doing, which was to try his best!
When Liu Jie went to the Midnight Palace, Lin Yuan left to observe the Land Imps' work so he could assess the current situation and estimate how long it would take before the Radiance Federation's defenses were completed.
Wen Yu was not the only one of Lin Yuan's subordinates skilled at governance. Bai Qinghuan was also talented in this area.
However, their specific skill sets were different, as Wen Yu was skilled at resource allocation while Bai Qinghuan excelled at setting up attack and defense mechanisms.
Thus, Lin Yuan decided to bring Bai Qinghuan back from the Great Lush Federation. Weng Queji, the Class 5 Creation Master, came with her.
Bai Qinghuan had been assisting Jin Qianxun in the Great Lush Federation and managing the harbor's construction.
Bai Qinghuan had given a fair amount of input for constructing the harbor. She insisted that it had to be large enough to host six Island Whales.
When Lin Yuan found out about this, he praised Bai Qinghuan but did not call for her and assign her to different tasks. This had left her feeling rather disappointed.
Bai Qinghuan had noticed some time ago that Lin Yuan did not care much for the Great Lush Federation. He was only concerned with the Great Lush Federation because of the harbor. Aside from providing resources, he basically allowed the Great Lush Federation to do whatever it wanted.
No matter how much she achieved in the Great Lush Federation, Lin Yuan would not notice it.
Bai Qinghuan had the Thoughts Letter Paper and could contact Lin Yuan. But she could never find a reason to do so. She could not contact him just to ask him to pay attention to her!
Just as she was reaching her wits' end, an opportunity appeared in front of her.
As an official member of Sky City who had sworn her loyalty to Lin Yuan, she had learned about Tower Canon's plan. Hence, she knew just how important this task that Lin Yuan had given her was! It just so happened that this was a task that she excelled at.
Bai Qinghuan did not make any promises to Lin Yuan. She intended to prove her value to him with the completion of the defense setup.
When she found out that Lin Yuan wanted an estimate of how much longer it would be before the metal-type stone planks were finished being laid down, Bai Qinghuan told Lin Yuan about her calculations.
"Young Master, based on the calculations I made according to the real-time circumstances, it will take around 35 days before all of the metal-type stone planks are done being laid down in the Radiance Federation, even with the 45,000,000 Land Imps involved in the project.
"This is because there are hard rocks in many places in the Radiance Federation that the Land Imps need to clear away before they can lay down the metal-type stone planks.
"Additionally, the metal-type stone planks need to be created, and it takes time to both create them as well as transport the materials. Aside from laying down the metal-type stone planks, building a metal wall around the entire Radiance Federation will only take ten days.
"The wall will be built outward, and there will be nine walls in total. The metal-type stone planks can also be laid down below the walls to prevent the dead spirits from invading externally!"
Lin Yuan nodded.
Bai Qinghuan's estimated time was shorter than what Lin Yuan had in mind, so this was good news to him.
Lin Yuan really liked someone like Bai Qinghuan, who could provide detailed answers to every question as well as anticipate what the person's next question would be.
When Bai Qinghuan was done answering Lin Yuan's question, she bit her lip and asked Lin Yuan seriously, "Young Master, we have built defenses underground, but I think that we need to cover more areas. We should also set up effective defenses for the sky!
"All of the dead spirits will indeed be rising from the ground, but some of them who are able to fly will be able to cross the seas and oceans to attack the Radiance Federation when we least expect it!"
Bai Qinghuan's question was one that Lin Yuan had been ruminating over but had yet to come up with a good solution for.
They could separate the ground by using metal-type stone planks, but there was no way to build defenses for the sky!
Furthermore, the Radiance Federation was so expansive that Lin Yuan did not have enough experts under him to cover the entire area!
But once he found out how he could promote a Class 1 world to Class 2, Lin Yuan saw a way out.
Lin Yuan could use the Radiance Federation as the center as he began combining the five dimensional worlds with the main world. This would ensure no dead spirits rose in the vicinity of the Radiance Federation.
If these dead spirits wanted to reach the Radiance Federation, they must first cross the five dimensional worlds. This would greatly diminish their numbers.
The dimensional lifeforms would kill the dead spirits that could fly.
Dimensional lifeforms were very proficient at reproduction. For example, the alien insect species would even use each other as food.
The dead spirits might consume the dimensional lifeforms for sustenance as well!
This would give Lin Yuan the time to continue building the base even after the Sleeper's Revival plan began.
The dead spirits below the Radiance Federation would be killed first, and the other federations could choose to rebuild themselves within the five dimensional worlds so they could team up with the Radiance Federation to take on the dead spirits.
This would address the issue of the lack of land as well.
This was the only plan that Lin Yuan could come up with that would solve the issue.
"I have a way to solve the issue of the attacking dead spirits. Hurry up and lay down the metal-type stone planks in the Radiance Federation!"
Bai Qinghuan was rather shocked. She did not know what Lin Yuan's plan was. But she did not care what his plan was. All that she cared about was that she would be able to show her worth to Lin Yuan.
Bai Qinghuan was unempathetic by nature and did not care what happened to the main world.
She was only staying with Lin Yuan so she could earn his praise and become more important to him so he would treat her better!
"Young Master, I will make sure to do a good job!"
Many of the Spirit Craftsmen had negative opinions about the plan to lay down metal-type stone planks. They felt that it would affect the harvesting of underground resources.
The Spirit Craftsmen had reached Class 4 and 5 but were very short-sighted.
Land Imps that were Class 10 and below would have trouble breaking through the metal-type stone planks, but those above Class 10 would be able to easily break the metal-type stone planks to harvest the underground resources.
It would take tens of thousands of years to kill all of the dead spirits that rose up due to the Sleeper's Revival plan.
However, the human world would not stop developing either. They could only stand a chance of solving their development issues with time.
"I only asked the Spirit Craftsmen to devise plans but did not discuss my decisions with them. Young Master, I can't be bothered to give them an explanation. We might not even be able to survive, but they are trying to talk to me about harvesting and developing resources!"
Lin Yuan shook his head vexedly when he heard what Bai Qinghuan said.
It was unlikely that anyone's heart was blacker than Bai Qinghuan's.
Bai Qinghuan seemed to be complaining about the Spirit Craftsmen. Still, she was actually asking him to give her full authority over the construction of the Radiance Federation's defenses so that she would not be restrained by anyone else.
However, this matter was of paramount importance. Lin Yuan could not allow Bai Qinghuan to call the shots on everything. He needed someone of substantial authority who would be able to restrain her.
2620 The Spirit Lock Spatial Zone's Evolution is Complete!
"You don't have to mind what the Spirit Craftsmen say. You can make the decisions as you see fit."
Bai Qinghuan was happy when she heard this because she knew that Lin Yuan had understood the meaning behind her words.
But quickly, Lin Yuan's tone changed. "Cicada Song, a member of the Radiance Federation's royalty, oversees city management. He's quite visionary. You'll be collaborating with him. If you excel, he'll inform me.
"Bai Qinghuan, remember, this world is vast. Our current home is just a fraction of it. If you perform admirably, I might even take you to the Sky Beyond the Clouds with me!"
Bai Qinghuan had been worried when she heard that Lin Yuan would send her to work with a member of the Radiance Federation's royalty.
Working with a member of the Radiance Federation's royalty would place many more shackles on her than working with the Spirit Craftsmen. She could ignore the Spirit Craftsmen, but the Radiance Federation's royalty could all be considered Lin Yuan's elders. There was no way she could ignore what they said.
The member of royalty that managed the Radiance Federation's cities had to have clear opinions and plans for every matter.
Bai Qinghuan knew that once she started working with Cicada Song, she would have to discuss every decision with him and that the final decision-making power lay in his hands.
However, what Lin Yuan said next caused all of Bai Qinghuan's worries to evaporate.
He made her a sincere promise, and this allowed her to see light in her future.
If someone who yearned for a chance was promised a bright future, he would definitely do everything he could to grab onto the opportunity!
This summed up Bai Qinghuan exactly!
Bai Qinghuan worked hard to fight for the chance to gain authoritative control over the construction of the Radiance Federation's base because she wanted Lin Yuan to see her capabilities. She fervently prayed that Lin Yuan would give her a chance.
She was very afraid that Lin Yuan would not be able to see her contributions and that all the merit would be attributed to the Spirit Craftsmen. This was why she had intentionally discriminated against them.
But now, Lin Yuan promised that if she did well, he would take her with him to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, allowing her to remain by his side.
This was what Bai Qinghuan dreamed of. If she remained by Lin Yuan's side, it would mean that she was part of Sky City's upper echelon.
Furthermore, given Lin Yuan's power, he could bend the main world to his will. But he would have to encounter many challenges at the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Bai Qinghuan was skilled at military strategy, so Lin Yuan would definitely have to depend on her abilities. She would also have more chances to demonstrate and increase her worth.
"Young Master, I will complete the building of the base once I've run every decision past Cicada Song. Nothing will go wrong!"
Lin Yuan waved his hand to gesture to Bai Qinghuan to head back so she could continue her managing duties.
The last part of Bai Qinghuan's response was amazing in a strange way.
By saying that she was going to run every decision past Cicada Song, it was as though she was saying that Cicada Song would be able to sway her decisions. It seemed as though she was pushing all the responsibility to Cicada Song. The last part she mentioned about how nothing would go wrong seemed to emphasize this intention.
Intelligent people were able to grasp your meaning easily, so speaking with them did not require much energy.
But when speaking with overly intelligent people, one would have to constantly wonder if more meaning was hidden between their words!
Lin Yuan had remained in the Radiance Federation these past few days. But he had dispatched out Zhou Luo, Endless Summer, as well as Duan He, who had just returned with the white-clothed followers.
Although the Radiance Federation had called for and was hosting this meeting of the Major Federation Union under its status as one of the three major federations, there were still some federations that were not going to be participating.
Hence, it would not be realistic to try and obtain all of the Continent Vein Cores from the Major Federation Union.
Lin Yuan instructed these people, who made up the backbone of Sky City to lead the tens of Turning Wheel Realm Dictators in collecting the Continent Vein Cores from the factions of the federations who were not able to participate in the Major Federation Union.
Some of these federations only had one or two Class 4 Creation Masters, much less a Class 5 Creation Master. There was no way that they possessed the Continent Vein Cores of the continent where they were located.
In such situations, the member of Sky City would have to search for the Continent Vein Cores on their own before bringing it back.
Lin Yuan was almost done making all of the necessary preparations. All he needed now was time.
He could only hope Tower Canon waited a bit longer before they began their Sleeper's Revival plan.
Since all Lin Yuan needed to do from now on was come up with plans and strategies, he did not waste time and focused all of this time into nurturing his feys.
Lin Yuan was continuously evolving his feys so that he would be able to promote to S-rank spirit qi professional as soon as possible, and because he wanted to provide the cities with more Bronze grade high quality feys so that the City Guards and reserve City Guards would all be equipped with the best combat tools.
Lin Yuan continued evolving his feys as he waited for the Spirit Lock spatial zone to be unlocked.
Due to the Spirit Lock spatial zone being closed, Lin Yuan had to evolve his feys in the outside world using his own physique, and this took much longer than when he evolved his feys in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
According to his calculation, the Spirit Lock spatial zone would be opening in another two days.
At this moment, Lin Yuan received a message from Wen Yu.
[Wen Yu: Young Master, I found an extremely dry and hot area here on this side of the Barren Sea. However, it is not technically considered a desert but more like a grassland. The ground is fertile, and there is a high concentration of mud. The ground has just hardened because of the extreme lack of water. This environment is very similar to Peace's description of the Broiling Rock Continent.
[Wen Yu: The Astronomical Parliament can sense its members and their general location, but it cannot pinpoint exactly where the members are. I have a few strong Turning Wheel Realm Dictators with me. I don't want to use such top combat power in searching for Peace. This will affect the speed of my search for the Continent Vein Cores!
[Wen Yu: Young Master, I hope you can assign some Apostles to me so they can search for Peace and take her back to Sky Bearer City in the Grotto Continent!
Normally, Wen Yu did not like troubling Lin Yuan. However, she could tell which matters were of extreme importance.
Currently, the most important matter to Lin Yuan was the search for the Continent Vein Cores, and everything else came after.
Wen Yu felt that Lin Yuan was extremely kind for being willing to expend effort into searching for Peace.
Peace would be crushed by guilt if she found out that the search for the Continent Vein Cores had been impacted because of the effort spent searching for her.
Wen Yu believed that with Peace's talent, she could only serve as a leader in the main world at best. There was no way that she would be given the chance to leave the main world with Lin Yuan when he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Even if she did go to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, she could not offer any help.
By contrast, talents like Su Yiren and Yin Lin would definitely be able to accomplish significant achievements when they went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
After reading Wen Yu's message, Lin Yuan felt he needed to travel back to the Grotto Continent through the Space Tunnel.
Once the Spirit Lock spatial zone was unlocked, Lin Yuan intended to send a large group of his subordinates to the other side of the Barren Sea so the exploration and search for the Continent Vein Cores could be completed as soon as possible.
Lin Yuan did not want any entity on the other side of the Barren Sea the chance to fuse with any of the five dimensional worlds.
Even after they expanded to the other side of the Barren Sea, it would remain the most remote and desolate place in the main world.
Chu Ci had stayed with Wen Yu to train with her. Lin Yuan intended to leave Chu Ci with Wen Yu as it would benefit her greatly. Wen Yu could bring Chu Ci back with her once they were done exploring the Barren Sea.
Now that Thick Soil City's operations were on track, Lin Yuan called Listen back so he could take charge of allocating the resources!
There were specialists in every field. Next to Wen Yu, Listen was the most capable of Sky City's members at resource allocation!
Without Listen, it would be a struggle for Ta Lei to manage Thick Soil City.
Luckily, Listen had brought with him Qin Yu, who had been by his side for some time. Qin Yu would remain with Ta Lei to support him.
Before heading to the Grotto Continent, Lin Yuan went to the martial arts hall where the spirit qi professionals from various factions were waiting. They were waiting for help to evolve their feys.
Although the Spirit Lock spatial zone's resources could not be accessed, Morbius' exclusive skill, Pure Land of Bliss, was separate and could be used.
After the Spirit Lock spatial zone was expanded, it could easily accommodate all the spirit qi crystals.
After Morbius evolved to Myth Breed, the Pure Land of Bliss' size increased to almost 500 square meters.
Lin Yuan could simultaneously help many feys to evolve their grades. Thus, he could accumulate spirit qi crystals much quicker than before!
Eternal Source could fend off every World Cleansing by flicking his finger. Thus, Lin Yuan would deal with the World Cleansings quickly.
However, it still took an entire day and a half before Lin Yuan finished absorbing the World Grace and Creation World Ley Lines.
This harvest of spirit qi crystals far exceeded Lin Yuan's previous batch.
After all, the strength of the experts in the Startling Lines Continent could not compare to that of the Radiance Federation!
Lin Yuan was certain that he would be greeted by a giant harvest the next time he entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
At that time, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would have a lot of work to do!
After helping the Radiance Federation's experts successfully overcome their World Cleansings and Trials of World Creation, Lin Yuan went to the Space Tunnel near the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift.
Lin Yuan had opened the Space Tunnel that connected to the Grotto Continent because he wanted to give the Radiance Federation a way to harvest the resources from the other side of the Barren Sea.
However, one trip required an immense amount of spatial-type spiritual ingredients. Thus, regardless of what they found on the other side of the Barren Sea, the cost would not even out!
As such, Lin Yuan used the Space Tunnel himself. ๐ read latest ch๐pters at n/๐v(e)lbi๐.co/m
But Lin Yuan did not see this as a waste as he would be able to obtain the Continent Vein Cores from the Grotto Continent on the other side of the Barren Sea. The Continent Vein Cores added to his tangible power. The more Continent Vein Cores he obtained, the higher the chances of victory for the Radiance Federation's experts.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan could not leave Bei Xu to fend for himself.
Lastly, the Ethereal Jellyfish's main tentacles could be regrown, but it took a long time.
After traveling through the Space Tunnel to arrive at the Grotto Continent, Lin Yuan was once again hit with the pains of long-distance travel.
When he regained clear consciousness, Lin Yuan continued seizing every moment to evolve feys as he waited for the Spirit Lock spatial zone to open.
Lin Yuan told Wen Yu that he was headed to the Grotto Continent but did not call her back.
Wen Yu was drawing up a map while she explored the other side of the Barren Sea.
Lin Yuan would follow Wen Yu's map to send the Apostles and Dictators to Wen Yu.
The Spirit Mother Federation was always closed off and never associated with the outside world.
Although there was a Class 5 Creation Master in the Spirit Mother Federation, they had no Spirit Mother Envoys.
The Spirit Mother Federation had missed the Major Federation Meeting and was considered unique for a federation with a Class 5 Creation Master.
However, after Bu Po told the Spirit Mother about the circumstances, the Spirit Mother decided to head to the Radiance Federation to attend the first Major Federation Union meeting.
Wo Lun did not have any special feelings for the Violent Wind Federation.
But when the Violent Wind Federation received the invitation from the Radiance Federation, they rushed to the Radiance Federation after weighing the pros and cons.
Su Yiren, the ruler of the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent, also rushed to the Radiance Federation. But she intended on heading to the Iron Hammer Federation first to meet up with Luo Lan before they traveled together.
Recently, all the conversations on the Thoughts Letter Papers had been related to the Major Federation Union meeting.
When Wen Yu became certain that she had found the Broiling Rock Continent, she told Peace about this, finally setting Peace at ease.
The messages on the Thoughts Letter Paper seemed calm, but Lin Yuan knew this was just the calm before the storm.
While he was gathering information about Tower Canon, Tower Canon had to also be accumulating information about him and the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan had also sent a message to Eighth Page Apoptosis so he could contact Seventh Page War and Third Page Eternal Sin.
Every member of Tower Canon possessed somewhat different information. There was a chance that Seventh Page War and Third Page Eternal Sin possessed information that Eighth Page Apoptosis did not know about.
While Lin Yuan was keeping the Thoughts Letter Paper away, Morbius' voice rang out in his ear, "Friend, the Spirit Lock spatial zone's evolution is complete. Go in and take a look!"
Morbius' voice always appeared in Lin Yuan's head. But this time, Lin Yuan heard it in his ears.
Lin Yuan turned and saw Morbius standing next to him.
2621 The Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree's Opportunity!
When he saw Morbius' half-transparent body, Lin Yuan could not help but laugh. Nothing made him feel more at ease than this feeling of having his closest companion by his side.
Morbius' ability to tangibly exist in real life proved to Lin Yuan just how significant its evolution was.
Morbius' evolution made Lin Yuan feel that his hard work had not gone to waste.
Now, he was greatly looking forward to seeing the Spirit Lock spatial zone's changes, so he immediately headed there. The Spirit Lock spatial zone should be where he was most familiar with, as he had spent the most time here in the past year.
However, once Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he realized he was very unfamiliar with this place.
At first, the Spirit Lock spatial zone was only around 40 square meters large and was akin to a small storage room.
However, he kept this small storage room very tidy.
But regardless of how organized he was, the space was still cramped because the spirit pool and Lin Yuan's worktable both needed to take up a certain amount of space.
Luckily, as Morbius' grade continued to increase and the Spirit Lock spatial zone continued to grow larger, Lin Yuan was able to make better use of the space there.
After Morbius evolved to Diamond grade, the Spirit Lock spatial zone grew to 960 square meters.
This space was not only sufficient for Lin Yuan's needs, but there was enough extra space for Lin Yuan and his feys to move around comfortably.
Lin Yuan had even made the indulgent move of placing a jade-textured white sandalwood recliner in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Hu Quan had made that recliner with details of mountains, rivers, plants, and animals carved all over it. The craftsmanship and love that went into creating it matched that of the red sandalwood longevity fishtank in the Return from Faraway Mansion.
After working under Lin Yuan for over a year, Hu Quan's Spirit Craftsmanship improved significantly. Even laymen could tell just how high his Spirit Craftsmanship level was from his pieces!
When Lin Yuan slept in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he lay on the recliner created by Hu Quan.
But now, the Spirit Lock spatial zone was like a miniature dimensional plane. Lin Yuan could no longer see where the Spirit Lock spatial zone ended.
Morbius said seriously, "Partner, this Spirit Lock spatial zone can be considered to be its somewhat complete form. Its size is related to the concentration of spirit qi. As the concentration of spirit qi increases, the size of the Spirit Lock spatial zone will increase. Although you can't see where the Spirit Lock spatial zone ends, its area is not endless. If we had to calculate the size, it would be around the same size as the Xia Region!"
Lin Yuan was so shocked he could not speak. The place where he was born was now being used as a unit of measurement!
Lin Yuan had been feeling rather apologetic to the feys like the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope that had to spend all of their time in there. After all, the Spirit Lock spatial zone's space was limited.
For fairies like Brocade Zither that did not require much space to move around, the size of the Spirit Lock spatial zone was not restrictive. But for the feys like the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope and Gray that needed more space to move and breathe, the Spirit Lock spatial zone's size caged in their nature.
When a fey's nature was dampened, it would lower its happiness level.
But now that the Spirit Lock spatial zone's size had increased significantly, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope and Gray would take more than an hour to get across a space as large as the Xia Region.
The marsh world was going to be fused with the main world. Thus, Lin Yuan needed to make preparations in the marsh world.
Lin Yuan had considered moving resources into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, but the space had been too small then!
It took almost 50,000 square meters just to plant the Item-Storing Walnut Trees, Soldier Ration Radishes, and the Barren River Orchid Bud that needed to be nurtured by various types of marsh soil.
But now, the Spirit Lock spatial zone had become large enough to solve all of Lin Yuan's concerns.
It would not just be the Item-Storing Walnut Trees, Soldier Ration Radishes, and Barren River Orchid Bud that would gain a new home, but Genius' cats, the working space for the Hundred Questions Beasts, and even Sky Sea could be moved to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Regardless of Sky Sea's size, it would not be larger than the Xia Region.
Lin Yuan intended to dedicate a space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone to Hu Quan so he could work there. He could take some Spirit Craftsmen with him to properly construct and decorate the space there.
The Sunlight King Lotus was housed in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, allowing it to be constantly flooded with light.
When Lin Yuan cultivated the Sunlight King Lotus, he had cultivated 99 of them.
The Sunlight King Lotuses that Master Hong Shen had nurtured could be put to use now.
Besides the Sunlight King Lotus, Lin Yuan had also obtained many plant-type feys that could create weather in the Divine Wood Federation.
Listen was still helping him to search for more of such feys.
However, due to the lack of space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan had been unable to display many of the feys that Listen had found.
If he displayed them now, he would not only be able to further beautify the Spirit Lock spatial zone but would also create an even more conducive environment for Gray to increase its power.
There was no way that the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope and Gray could manage the Spirit Lock spatial zone of this size. It would completely overwhelm them!
Rather than assigning humans to manage the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan preferred to nurture a group of feys who could change into human form.
He had discovered a special fey when he took control of the Great Lush Federation. It was called the Spirit Core Jasmine.
The Spirit Core Jasmine was a fey that required a large amount of spirit qi, but the spirit qi did not need to be of a high purity. Thus, it was not as finicky as other feys and could consume energy ores.
As long as it had sufficient energy ores, it could reproduce as quickly as ants!
If the Spirit Core Jasmine had access to sufficient energy ores, it could evolve to Myth III and change its form in only a few months.
After discovering the Spirit Core Jasmine, many main members of Creation Master families became crazed over contracting it. They had been under the impression they had stumbled on a treasure.
Alas, the Spirit Core Jasmine's abilities were geared toward those of domestic feys. It would not gain combat abilities even after it reached Myth Breed. However, after it changed its form, it would become a skilled assistant that managed domestic governance and could nurture plants.
It would also emit a fragrance to the surroundings, the scent being similar to a high-quality banana.
This did not mean that the Spirit Core Jasmine could not kill other feys, but only that its combat power was a far cry from that of other Myth III feys.
After all, the Spirit Core Jasmine's physique was also a factor.
No one could stand having a Myth III fey that a Diamond fey could defeat!
Furthermore, the Spirit Core Jasmine's looks were plain even after it reached Myth III and evolved to human form. It could even be described as ugly!
Even if a spirit qi professional had warped thoughts and wanted to begin a romance with the Spirit Core Jasmine, they could not bring themselves to do so.
As a result, the popularity of the Spirit Core Jasmine in the Great Lush Federation rapidly diminished.
In every world, there were people with obsessive-compulsive personality types. In the Great Lush Federation, some disciples of secret aristocratic families contracted Spirit Core Jasmines and provided them with high-quality resources. They eventually discovered that the purer the spirit qi that the Spirit Core Jasmines absorbed, they would become more attractive when they transformed into human form. They would also become more skilled at nurturing plants. The fragrance they emitted could also nourish souls, soothe the spirit, and help to increase spiritual energy!
This discovery stirred up a renewed popularity for the Spirit Core Jasmine. But whoever wanted to nurture such a Spirit Core Jasmine would have to invest more resources into nurturing it than other feys.
Spirit qi professionals preferred to nurture feys that could fight rather than those that looked pretty and only had support-type functions.
Lin Yuan felt he could nurture some of the Spirit Core Jasmines in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
With the concentration and production of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the Spirit Core Jasmines would be nurtured to Myth III quickly.
Then, taking care of all the plants and feys in the Spirit Lock spatial zone would fall to these Spirit Core Jasmines!
Lin Yuan immediately told Jin Qianxun what he needed.
Jin Qianxun would arrive at the Radiance Federation five days later to attend the Major Federation Union. At that time, he could deliver the resources that Lin Yuan wanted to him.
He also promised he would provide Lin Yuan with the best Spirit Core Jasmines.
Although Jin Qianxun was not considered an outstanding talent, he was still reliably competent!
It was not just the Spirit Lock spatial zone's size that had increased. Both the spirit pool and Pure Land of Bliss were larger now as well.nรw st๐ries at n๐ ๐
The spirit pool was now only slightly smaller than the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake in the Return from Faraway Mansion.
The enlargement of the spirit pool proved two things. The first was that the energy ores in the Spirit Lock spatial zone had become stronger at producing spirit qi.
Energy ores were a very common resource in the main world. Spirit qi could be found in the main world's air, and energy ores were not a nonrenewable resource.
With support from the main world, Lin Yuan could use as many energy ores as he wanted.
Thus, Lin Yuan placed even more spatial equipment next to the spirit pool and filled them with energy ores.
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was very familiar with refilling the energy ores. It could continue performing this job!
Blackie's Spirit Qi Imprint had changed when it evolved into the Spirit Tide Ink Flood Dragon.
Lin Yuan could nurture feys with the dragon-species bloodline and use them to supply spiritual power to Blackie. This increased the accumulation of spiritual power in the Spirit Qi Imprint.
Lin Yuan had moved Blackie to the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake because the spirit pool had been too small.
Lin Yuan now felt that the spirit pool was large enough to move Blackie back in. The Spirit-Gather Goldfish that had awakened their dragon-species bloodlines could also be moved into the spirit pool.
This would not only increase the rate at which Blackie accumulated spirit qi, but the Spirit-Gather Goldfish would also be able to grow much quicker.
The Angelfish of Bliss did not produce their fish coats quickly. But if they were moved to the spirit pool, they could produce fish coats faster.
The spirit pool had already given Lin Yuan an enormous surprise. But the Pure Land of Bliss' size had increased even more than the spirit pool's.
The Pure Land of Bliss was now around the same size as the Return from Faraway Mansion. It was clear that the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree had benefited significantly.
The Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree had been around eight meters tall. But now, it was more than 100 meters tall. There was no limit to the height of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
The roots of the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree took up the center of the Pure Land of Bliss.
Multiple nests were formed from the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree's circling branches.
Previously, when there was only one nest, Chimey was the only one using it. But now, Shiny could also nest in the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree. Gray also found a suitably-sized nest for itself.
When Gray rested in the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree, most of the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree was shrouded in mist.
The gold leaves glinted under the light and resembled an ancient magical tree.
Lin Yuan heard Morbius say, "I noticed that the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree is very suited to the root energy of the World Grace, so I gave it some. In my opinion, the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree is in a very similar condition to what Gray had experienced. It has reached the limit of a Heaven and Earth Fey and is very close to evolving into a Heavenly Family Fey."
Lin Yuan was overjoyed and thought, It's very difficult for feys without the Heavenly Family Fey blood to evolve into Heavenly Family Feys. If Gray's evolution from a Heaven and Earth Fey into a Heavenly Family Fey is just a coincidence, then how do we explain what is happening to the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree? Is it possible that all the Heaven and Earth Feys in the world have the potential to eventually evolve into Heavenly Family Feys?
However, this was just Lin Yuan's guess. He intended to discuss this with Purple Love when the opportunity arose.
If that was the case, Lin Yuan felt that he possessed enough resources to nurture more Heavenly Family Feys.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to examine the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree's data, Chimey flew at him and said with carefree delight, "Yuan, I can feel that the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree will be of much more help to me now that it's larger!
"When I first evolved to Myth Breed, I felt that the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree was no longer useful to me. But now, it can increase the energy within strange flames! Each time it absorbs a mid-grade strange flame, it will be able to unleash an aura of a high-grade strange flame! I love the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree!"
Lin Yuan was shocked by what Chimey said. He had not expected the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree's abilities to change in such a way after it absorbed the World Grace!
2622 Absolute Purity: Elemental Dolls!
From what Chimey said, the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree's boosting of the strange flames would save on the energy within the strange flames.
When Chimey was done speaking, Shiny flew over and told Lin Yuan, "Yuan, the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree can also provide me with energy through the nest! This ability will benefit me significantly!"
Shiny flapped its wings while it spoke. It was very happy with the energy it could receive from the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree.
Gray told Lin Yuan softly, "Yuan, the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree wasn't of any help to me previously. But the nourishment from the energy from the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree will allow me to absorb weather even quicker!"
Gray's words led Lin Yuan to begin calmly looking through the data of the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree.
When he looked at the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree's data in the past, its abilities and exclusive skills had always been support-type.
Thus, Lin Yuan always saw the Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree as a special treasure.
This had not changed in its current data. However, all of its abilities and exclusive skills had improved.
The Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree's name had also changed after it absorbed a large amount of World Grace. It was now called the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree!
The Phoenix Perching Chinese Parasol Tree could only boost and nourish phoenix-species feys, but the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree could provide such benefits to all avian-type feys.
This greatly increased its value and strategic significance.
Lin Yuan brought Chimey, Shiny, and Gray to the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree and injected many strange flames into it.
Since he was certain that the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree could transform the strange flames into energy within the next six months, Lin Yuan did not need to pay attention to it.
Lin Yuan had obtained numerous strange flames after taking control of the abyssal world.
Fire-elemental energy was found in high concentrations in the abyssal world, so strange flames were created constantly.
Lin Yuan wanted to inject more strange flames into the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree but had already reached its limit.
Every leaf of the towering Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree had a strange flame attached to it, causing it to emit radiant light.
The light emitted by the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree was even more brilliant than the light from the Sunlight King Lotus. When it reflected off of the white sand of the Pure Land of Bliss, the light was blindingly white!
The Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl's roots were not far from the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree. Brocade Zither was also a regular guest of the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree.
Shiny had a good relationship with Brocade Zither, Chimey, and Gray, and they were its playmates.
Lin Yuan had left some of them in Sky City so Master Hong Shen and Weng Queji could use them. At the same time, he had given some to the Moon Empress so she could have some in storage that every Class 3 and above Creation Master in the Radiance Federation could use them to help with their nurturing of feys. nรw st๐ries at n๐ ๐
In its free time, it either visited the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree's branches or nuzzled up against the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia, which also sat on its branches.
The Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia had also benefited from the Celestial Destiny Chinese Parasol Tree's evolution.
Lin Yuan did not need to strengthen his spiritual energy using the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia's fruits anymore.
Morbius could fully control its own strength now that it had evolved to Myth Breed. It no longer needed to rely on Lin Yuan's spiritual energy.
After Morbius returned the spiritual energy to Lin Yuan, he suddenly realized he had sufficient spiritual energy to be considered a genius! It was just that Morbius had been using up so much of it that he was only left with a pathetically meager amount.
Lin Yuan could now use his spiritual energy to easily contract many feys. However, he did not intend on contracting any more feys from the main world. He intended to contract more feys from the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
At that moment, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was feeling very conflicted next to the Element Well. It did not know whether it should sort these elemental pearls first or head over to greet Lin Yuan first.
The Elemental Shellfish were producing elemental pearls as quickly as a factory. Every Elemental Shellfish now produced elemental pearls at ten times their original rate.
Although the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was skilled at manipulating wind-elemental energy to sort the elemental pearls into their different types, there were many different grades of elemental pearls, and the wooden chests that Lin Yuan had prepared were almost all completely full.
For the past few days, while the Spirit Lock spatial zone had been evolving, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope finally finished sorting through the spirit qi crystals and counted all of them.
Thus, it stopped paying attention to the Elemental Shellfish. As a result, the elemental pearls piled up into a small mountain!
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was afraid Lin Yuan would think it was slacking. It was clearly a hardworking little antelope and did not want to be misunderstood by Lin Yuan! It was a cute antelope that worked hard! It was the best!
While the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope felt conflicted, Lin Yuan arrived next to it.
When he saw the pile of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, he knew that the production rate had increased significantly.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan saw the small mountain of elemental pearls sway slightly before three elemental dolls emerged from the pile. They tiptoed down from the pile of elemental pearls.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the elemental dolls.
He saw that they were a sign of the highest purity.
This meant that the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls had broken through again.
The Element Well could increase purity and allow Lin Yuan to gain access to elements of high purity.
But aside from the increment in purity, the purity of the entity was determined intrinsically.
If the Element Well could temper elemental energy at will, Lin Yuan would not have to nurture so many feys that could produce pure elemental energy!
The elemental dolls' purity had reached 99%. So, once the Element Well tempered them, they would achieve absolute purity!
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was still filling the wooden chests with elemental pearls, so Lin Yuan squatted down and affectionately caressed its head. "The production of elemental pearls had increased significantly. Don't use these wooden chests from now on. I will place a shelf next to the Element Well and fill it with custom Diamond fey storage boxes.
"From now on, you can concentrate on collecting the elemental pearls and spirit qi crystals. As for other tasks like laying down the coral jade and energy ores, they will be handled by others! Moreover, I will assign three helpers to you in a month."
While Lin Yuan spoke, he saw that one of the elemental dolls was wind-type.
Lin Yuan held up the wind-type elemental doll and poured a cup of the Element Well's water over it.
Soon, the elemental doll combined with the Element Well and turned into a glowing jade-textured fluid.
Lin Yuan held up the bowl to the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope's mouth and said, "You have worked hard. Have a taste of 100% pure elements!"
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope quickly started lapping up the light green fluid.
Once the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was done drinking the bowl of elements, Lin Yuan saw many vortex-shaped light green patterns appear all over its body. Everlasting gusts of wind also started whipping around the bottom of its feet.
Lin Yuan had not formed a contract with the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope because it was already Silver grade by the time he encountered it, so he did not have sufficient spiritual energy to contract it. This was just an objective factor.
However, as a subjective factor, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope did not meet Lin Yuan's standards.
But now, the ordinary Wind Speed Rapid Antelope had transformed into an amazing fey that went beyond others' imaginations!
It was clearly made of flesh, but it possessed wind-elemental energy that was purer than that of element-type feys!
It looked as though the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would be evolving soon!
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was the Spirit Lock spatial zone's manager and did not want to share its job with others.
However, after the Spirit Lock spatial zone became larger, the work was now too much for it alone!
Lin Yuan would definitely continue to garner numerous spirit qi crystals. The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was busiest every time Lin Yuan collected spirit qi crystals.
With the current production rate of the elemental pearls, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would struggle to accomplish the job that Lin Yuan had given it.
Luckily, Lin Yuan would assign three helpers to it, thus alleviating some of its burden. As such, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope did not protest.
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was looking forward to the shelf that Lin Yuan talked about.
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope liked collecting and gathering, and it liked to see the collected items organized neatly.
If the elemental pearls were placed haphazardly around, the Spirit Lock spatial zone would become very messy.
The custom Diamond fey storage boxes were all ring-shaped. All it needed to do was use its spiritual energy to link up with the Diamond fey storage boxes, and it could sort all the elemental pearls accordingly.
This would save it a lot of effort!
When it had to use the wooden boxes, regardless of how carefully the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope counted the elemental pearls, it sometimes made mistakes. The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would then have to recount!
From the outside, the Element Well did not seem to have changed in any way. But its interior had expanded substantially, and it could also produce water faster now.
Begin Lady appeared in an illusionary form before Lin Yuan and leaped into the Element Well. It could not be happier with the enlargement of its new home!
Lin Yuan did not intend to do anything with the parts of the Spirit Lock spatial zone that he had yet to decorate or fill.
He walked over to Klein Hub and intended to move the army of Hundred Questions Beasts, Hu Quan, and Sky Sea to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan had been obstinate about keeping the Spirit Lock spatial zone a secret from everyone else because he lacked the ability to protect himself. If the secret of the Spirit Lock spatial zone was revealed, he would be in danger.
But now, very few people in the main world could threaten him!
Hu Quan was one of Sky City's main members and was deserving of Lin Yuan's trust.
Moreover, building the space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone would not be easy.
The Spirit Lock spatial zone would continue to grow larger as the concentration of spirit qi increased.
Hu Quan would not be able to build up the space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone within a short period.
Furthermore, Hu Quan needed to focus on constructing Sky City on Sky Sea's back. He would be spending a lot of time in the Spirit Lock spatial zone from now on!
The Spirit Lock spatial zone's environment would allow Hu Quan to bring many of his ideas into reality, and he liked nothing more than combining feys with scenery.
Lin Yuan looked forward to the designs that Hu Quan would come up with once he got a glimpse of the Spirit Lock spatial zone's environment.
Although Klein Hub did not look much larger than it was before, when he entered through it to its entrance in the marsh world, Lin Yuan thought, One Floating Island Whale? Even five Floating Island Whales can likely be squeezed through it to the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
Immediately after he entered the marsh world, Lin Yuan spotted the Kill Food Sky Butterfly and Purple Afterglow acting affectionately without caring if they were being watched. They did not care at all that he was basically their bachelor father!
The tens of Medusa Snake Demons were looking after the Item-Storing Walnut Trees in the near distance.
Scale Concubine had become the center of the group of Medusa Snake Demons and looked after all of them.
As Wendy's mother, Scale Concubine was very respected in the marsh world.
Lin Yuan had thought about moving the Medusa Snake Demons into the Spirit Lock spatial zone so they could work as servants.
However, the Medusa Snake Demons were more skilled at combat than nurturing feys. They would not be as skilled at nurturing plants as the Myth III Spirit Core Jasmines in human form.
The Medusa Snake Demons had been assigned to look after the Item-Storing Walnut Trees and nurture the Soldier Ration Radishes in the marsh world.
Finding a lifeform in the marsh world that was as intelligent as the Medusa Snake Demon was difficult.
The Medusa Snake Demons bowed to Lin Yuan when they spotted him before continuing their jobs.
Scale Concubine did not move over to Lin Yuan's side either. It knew it would be rude of it to move closer to Lin Yuan before he called it.
Lin Yuan had saved all of the Medusa Snake Demons. Otherwise, they would have become the playthings of the Drugged Snake Eagle.
More importantly, Lin Yuan had nurtured Wendy. Scale Concubine felt endless respect and gratitude toward Lin Yuan.
Genius sensed Lin Yuan's presence, immediately emerged from the Hundred Questions Beasts' secret space, and went to his side. With well-practiced actions, it climbed up to his shoulder. It could not care less that the army of Hundred Questions Beasts were all watching it.
2623 The Floating Island Whale and Heavenly Family Fey!
Genius wrapped its tail around Lin Yuan before it meowed and said, "Yuan, I have missed you!"
Genius placed its head against Lin Yuan's neck and began nuzzling him.
Lin Yuan and Genius had a very deep relationship that could not be described in words.
Feys usually knew who their parents were. They stayed with their parents and were cared for by them when they were young.
They would only be contracted by spirit qi professionals when they grew up and were able to be independent.
This was like how Lin Yuan had to wait until kittens had learned life skills from their mothers for the first two months of their lives before he could adopt them and bring them home.
However, the Hundred Questions Beast was the most lowly housekeeping beast in the main world, and almost every regular person could gain ownership of one. Thus, no one was willing to put too much effort into nurturing one.
Using Genius as an example, it never had the chance to know who its parents were. It did not even have a blurry memory to hold on to. A fey breeding base had taken it before it could even open its eyes.
In order to reduce the cost of supporting them, the Hundred Questions Beast would be sold within a month.
Due to the Hundred Questions Beast's high intelligence, it could converse at a normal human level once it reached four months of age.
Thus, the Hundred Questions Beast could be nurtured postnatally.
Other feys always felt an attachment to their parents they would always feel but never mentioned it after spirit qi professionals contracted them.
However, to Genius, all of these feelings were associated with Lin Yuan. It was a love so deep that it permeated its bones.
Lin Yuan touched Genius' small head with one hand as he lifted its chin with the other and said, "Genius, the Spirit Lock spatial zone has evolved. From now on, you can remain in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. You don't have to stay in the marsh world anymore.
"I will ask Hu Quan to build a comfortable base for you and the Hundred Questions Beasts. You must have suffered in the marsh world!"
Lin Yuan was not trying to be polite. There was no need for window-dressing politeness when he communicated with Genius.
Although Lin Yuan never lacked resources, he had a million tasks on hand when he first entered the marsh world and was only at the beginning of his development.
There were not enough of the Spirit Craftsmen. After all, Lin Yuan had not picked many of them to relocate to the marsh world.
Thus, the Hundred Questions Beasts' houses had never been renovated or updated although the army of Hundred Questions Beasts underwent two rounds of expansion!
There were more than 500 of the Hundred Questions Beasts squeezed into the small three-story building. Each one had less than ten square meters of space to work. Even illegal workshops had more space!
Each Hundred Questions Beast was worth as much as a pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master! Genius had nurtured those who had more talent into Class 4 Creation Masters!
Even the breeding room of a Class 1 Creation Master was more than 300 square meters large.
The breeding room designated to a Class 4 Creation Master by the Creation Master Association had two stories, and the interior mimicked that of the natural environment. Each floor would be more than 1,500 square meters large.
When Lin Yuan took the Creation Master exam, he had been stunned the first time he entered the breeding room of a Class 4 Creation Master.
But now that the Spirit Lock spatial zone was as large as the Xia Region, the Hundred Questions Beasts would not be given spaces as large as the allocations from the Creation Master Association but would be at least 80 square meters. Every room would also have a custom climbing rack, cat bed, and custom details.
Although the Hundred Questions Beasts would never betray him as they were under Genius' control, Lin Yuan would still do his best to provide the Hundred Questions Beasts with the treatment that they deserved!
Genius' eyes lit up like stars when it heard what Lin Yuan said.
But when it thought back to all of its cats and how much space they took up, Genius did not think they could all be moved into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
The weakest of the cats had reached Diamond grade.
Most cat-species feys were loners and often fought when they had to live near each other.
When Genius first started managing the cats, it had to break up fights almost daily.
Those rowdy children could cause as much trouble as they wanted in the marsh world, but acting the same way in the Spirit Lock spatial zone would affect the other feys!
"Yuan, I only need to return to attend to the cats two to three times a week. This gives me a lot of time to stay with you in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!"
Lin Yuan smiled and patted Geniu. "We can move all the cats into the Spirit Lock spatial zone. I will ask Hu Quan to design a space for all the cats. Don't worry. The Spirit Lock spatial zone has enough space. With all the pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, you won't have to put as much effort into nurturing the cats!"
The cats were linked to Genius' own power, so Genius often used the army of Hundred Questions Beasts to provide resources to the cats.
Lin Yuan also had to provide the army of Hundred Questions Beasts with spirit qi crystals that they would use to nurture the cat-species feys.
But once the cats moved into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan could save on a large amount of spirit qi crystals.
None of the cat-species feys were ordinary. They would require more infrastructure to be built in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
The town that Lin Yuan lived in his previous life had not been large. But the Xia Region was around the same size as two cities from his previous life.
Every cat would receive a significant amount of space to move around in.
Once the Spirit Lock spatial zone was properly constructed and built up, it would resemble a city.
Once Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he could move those who wanted to relocate to the Sky Beyond the Clouds through the Spirit Lock spatial zone. ๐ read latest ch๐pters at n/๐v(e)lbi๐.co/m
When Genius heard what Lin Yuan said, it started to roll around in his arms.
It could finally remain by Lin Yuan's side and did not have to separate from him! There was nothing else that Lin Genius wanted!
When Purple Afterglow was in the throes of expressing its love, it could ignore Lin Yuan. But the same did not go for the Kill Food Sky Butterfly.
The Kill Food Sky Butterfly immediately approached Lin Yuan when it spotted him.
When it arrived next to Lin Yuan, it changed into human form while Purple Afterglow landed on the Kill Food Sky Butterfly's lips.
Purple Afterglow's beauty had been raised further after it evolved to Myth Breed.
Purple Afterglow noticed that the Kill Food Sky Butterfly adored it even more after its evolution. It really enjoyed this feeling.
Lin Yuan did not know what to do with this love-blinded butterfly.
Lin Yuan told the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, "Go and call Hu Quan, the Sentient Being Protective Dragon, and the Wailing Snake over. Tell Hu Quan to gather all of the Spirit Craftsmen in the marsh world as well."
The Kill Food Sky Butterfly immediately left to search for the people Lin Yuan had asked for.
Purple Afterglow remained perched on the Kill Food Sky Butterfly's lips.
โฆ
Hu Quan had been wanting to discuss some matters with Lin Yuan but had not had the chance to meet with him. He also knew that Lin Yuan had been extremely busy of late and could not bring himself to disturb Lin Yuan.
Now that Lin Yuan was the one looking for him, Hu Quan intended to tell Lin Yuan about his plans for the construction on Sky Sea.
Hu Quan had drawn up a plan after taking over the construction involving Sky Sea.
With the three sets of Island Whale bones that Lin Yuan had given him, Hu Quan drew up the blueprints centered on them.
But when Hu Quan noticed Sky Sea's ability, Whale Spout Empowerment, he realized that it expanded the realm of possibilities for Sky Sea and would allow it to carry even larger entities.
Whale Spout Empowerment could heal entities that were bonded to Sky Sea, and Whale Blood Screen added a layer of protection for everything on Sky Sea's back. This double layer of protection allowed Hu Quan to come up with an even more ambitious plan for Sky City's construction.
Since they were going to build Sky City and Sky Sea would continue increasing in size as it became more powerful, they should build the best version of Sky City right from the get-go so that Lin Yuan would not have to worry about renovating Sky City in the future.
Lin Yuan nodded. He liked a Spirit Craftsman like Hu Quan, who had his own ideas.
Lin Yuan was not a Spirit Craftsman, so he did not know their limitations. Thus, he could only offer suggestions to Hu Quan but could not make any demands. Hu Quan would then adjust his design based on feasibility factors.
Lin Yuan felt that this was a rare virtue. This was also why he continued relying mainly on Hu Quan, even though he could successfully recruit numerous Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen.
Sky Sea had already evolved to Suzerain/Myth I. It had not undergone the World Cleansing because it had evolved while it was in the marsh world. Thus, it had not gained its Myth Breed exclusive skills.
The word 'fake' was behind the Myth I segment in its True Data information.
When Sky Sea returned to the main world and activated its World Cleansing, it would become a real Myth Breed fey.
When Sky Sea evolved to Myth Breed in the marsh world, Begin Lady noticed that Sky Sea's aura became highly similar to that of the Mother of Bloodbath and Purple Love.
There was a chance that Sky Sea could evolve into a Heavenly Family Fey once it returned to the main world and was able to reconnect with the sky.
As a faerie, there were definitely no issues with Begin Lady's sensing abilities.
Since Sky Sea had a similar aura to that of a Heavenly Family Fey, it could transform when it evolved to Creation Breed even if it did not happen when it evolved to Myth Breed.
โฆ
Lin Yuan did not try to leave Hu Quan hanging. "Uncle Hu, Sky Sea will be able to evolve again very soon. After this evolution, it will no longer undergo significant changes in the future.
"Once you see how Sky Sea transforms this time, you will have an idea of what you can do when building Sky City!"
Hu Quan needed time to gather Spirit Craftsmen as he had dispatched many of them.
Given that the whole marsh world was under Lin Yuan's control, he did not need to restrict the Wailing Snake and Sentient Being Protective Dragon's realm of activity.
The two of them were very far away, but the Kill Food Sky Butterfly finally managed to locate them. It would take more than a day to bring them back.
Sky Sea followed Hu Quan to where Klein Hub was located.
The sky of the marsh world was light green. It would turn purple at night, but it would not become black like the main world's night sky did.
But now, all the natural light from the marsh world was being blocked by a giant creature, causing the marsh world to be shrouded in darkness.
This giant creature seemed to be carrying extreme pressure, and its cry shook the whole world.
If Sky Sea was not currently retracting its aura and controlling the winds around its body, the gale force would have shattered all of the plants, mountains, and stones around it. This was the fearsomeness that came with a gargantuan body.
This was why the Island Whale's only method of combat in the sea was to use its body to slam into enemies. It was common for thearch-class experts to be killed by Island Whales when trying to use feys to hunt them.
Sky Sea was very swift. Although Whale Spout Empowerment, Lashing Spirit Tail Wings, and Whale's Breath did not seem to be able to increase Sky Sea's speed, they were actually capable of doing so.
Lin Yuan was only becoming more and more satisfied with Sky Sea. The latter was also looking at Lin Yuan with the same affection that Genius did.
When it came to affection, Sky Sea felt as strongly toward Lin Yuan as Genius did.
Sky Sea had suffered significantly in the Gao family. They had not noticed anything special about it. They had dismissed it as an egg that had undergone a negative mutation and would never be able to hatch.
It was Lin Yuan who had given Sky Sea a new lease on life and even used his blood to deepen their link.
Before Sky Sea evolved to Fantasy Breed, it was around the same size as Rememberling and could swim around Lin Yuan.
Only a few months had passed since Sky Sea had evolved to Myth Breed, but it had already come to accept its reality as a gargantuan creature. Hence, it dared not act too affectionately toward Lin Yuan. It was afraid that it would crush him even if it did not exert any strength!
Black wings spread out on Lin Yuan's back, and he flew up to Sky Sea's back before squatting down to touch the folds on Sky Sea's skin.
Lin Yuan intended to take Sky Sea back to the main world and watch it evolve to Myth Breed. He would do all he could to help Sky Sea evolve into a Heavenly Family Fey!
Sky Sea could not be happier when it heard that Lin Yuan was taking it back to the main world.
Its main source of energy was spirit qi. Thus, the marsh world's environment was not suitable for its long-term growth.
Sky Sea also badly wanted to return to the main world so it could undergo its World Cleansing. It could sense that its life rank would change once it underwent its World Cleansing.
It knew how many hopes Lin Yuan had for Sky City, and it wanted to be able to become a better vessel for Sky City through its evolution.
2624 Accommodating Territory Transformative Environment!
Sky Sea entered Klein Hub and reappeared in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He saw that the boundaries of the Spirit Lock spatial zone were also masked by blurry mist.
This was very similar to his divine kingdom.
An idea surfaced in Lin Yuan's mind: Could Morbius' Spirit Lock spatial zone be connected to the divine kingdom?
Lin Yuan did not know much about the divine kingdom.
Lin Yuan's divine kingdom was at the beginning of its 'big bang' stage. He was pumping lots of faith power so that Truth could put it to use and enable the divine kingdom to develop rapidly.
However, during this stage of evolution development, the lifeforms could evolve in a million different and strange directions.
Lin Yuan always did his best to evolve his feys in the best direction. He had the same principle when it came to his divine kingdom. As such, Lin Yuan injected a large amount of faith power into the divine kingdom during this 'big bang' stage.
Only the species with the most potential were showing positive signs of development, and the most likely to evolve into the best species were left behind. This would inevitably cause Lin Yuan to use up more faith power.
However, Lin Yuan did not think utilizing faith power was a waste.
The lifeforms produced from this 'big bang' stage would become the roots of the divine kingdom's future development.
If the divine kingdom did not establish its roots properly, how could it hope to continue developing in a stable manner?
Lin Yuan always felt reluctant when he gave faith power to Truth.
However, Truth was delighted.
Truth was Lin Yuan's only holy spirit and had become his trusted aide.
If it became the holy spirit of a powerful divine kingdom, it could bask in glory and stand above all the rest in the future!
Lin Yuan's divine kingdom was only at the beginning stage of its development. Hence, he had not yet explored the blurry space at the borders.
Lin Yuan felt that the nebulous space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was very similar to the space beyond the divine kingdom.
Lin Yuan had already told Morbius about his guess.
After a moment of silence, Morbius shook its head lightly. It could not speak with certainty on this matter.
However, Morbius still did not know too much about itself. For example, it still could not see its own species!
Sky Sea's fins fluttered and kicked up a gust of wind. This wind passed through the whale blood and shielded Lin Yuan's body.
The wind left Lin Yuan feeling very comfortable.
This was a new way of communicating with Lin Yuan that Sky Sea gained after it grew to its giant size.
After receiving Sky Sea's response, Lin Yuan went to his room in Sky Bearer City, where he summoned Eternal Source to take him to the surface.
Sky Bearer City's buildings were built very close to each other. If Sky Sea was summoned out into Sky Bearer City, many buildings and infrastructure would be crushed by Sky Sea's body.
The underground environment was not a conducive one for evolving a fey like Sky Sea, which belonged to the sea and sky.
The Grotto Continent's entrance to the surface was guarded by three Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, who hurriedly made way when they saw Eternal Source and Lin Yuan.
These two were the last people that they would try to stop!
The other Turning Wheel Realm Dictators who had not been given any tasks were all envious of these three Turning Wheel Realm Dictators.
Even Samsara Realm Dictators rarely had the chance to appear before Lin Yuan, much less Turning Wheel Realm Dictators!
When Lin Yuan arrived at the surface, he looked into the distance and saw that the flat and barren land also had a unique beauty when it was blanketed by the setting sun's light.
Lin Yuan hurriedly summoned Sky Sea out from the Spirit Lock spatial zone, where it had been waiting.
A sound akin to the cry of an ancient whale reverberated around the flat and barren land.
This added an air of magnificence and sacredness to the already present beauty.
The flat and barren land was already filled with sandy winds that left messy trails wherever they went.
The winds kicked up by Sky Sea caused the dust to settle, and everything became clear.
The sunset and falling dusk became a backdrop for Sky Sea and its outstretched wings.
It almost looked like Sky Sea was holding up the sky to Lin Yuan.
While it was flapping its wings, Lin Yuan felt as though Sky Sea could indeed become one with the sky.
At that moment, Sky Sea's voice echoed in Lin Yuan's mind. "Yuan, I want to try becoming a Heavenly Family Fey! However, doing so will require me to consume a large amount of spirit qi as well as wind- and water-elemental energy!
"My situation is very different from that of Gray. When Gray was an egg, it could accumulate spirit qi by being in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. It also innately possessed a trace of the Heavenly Family Fey bloodline.
"Its Heavenly Family Fey bloodline was hidden but was activated when it evolved. However, I don't have the Heavenly Family Fey bloodline innately in me. What I am about to experience is a complete transformation of my life rank!"
Lin Yuan gave Sky Sea a very definitive answer and filled it with confidence.
A wooden chest that was around four-square-meters large appeared by Lin Yuan's feet.
It went without saying that this was just a small portion of Lin Yuan's store of resources.
Sky Sea suddenly raised its head and let out a deep whale cry.
A hole appeared in the sky. Sky Sea did not insist on using its own body to take on the World Cleansing.
Eternal Source stepped in to handle the World Cleansing, and the World Grace landed on Sky Sea's body.
Sky Sea could be considered a real Myth Breed fey now!
However, Lin Yuan did not relax after Sky Sea evolved to Myth Breed. Rather, he finally began feeling anxious. UppTodat๐d fr๐m nรด/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
This was because Sky Sea was about to encounter a test from the sky. This would resemble the test that the Mother of Bloodbath had to face from the sun when it transformed into a Heavenly Family Fey.
The sky appeared to be peaceful, but there were too many natural phenomena taking place in the sky.
If Sky Sea wanted to hold up the sky, it would also have to hold up these phenomena!
Sky Sea would have to endure more than the Mother of Bloodbath did when it evolved into a Heavenly Family Fey!
Lin Yuan had a deep relationship with the Heavenly Family Cottage and learned a lot about Heavenly Family Feys from them.
There was a saying among Heavenly Family Feysโthe more natural phenomena linked to a Heavenly Family Fey, the more potential it would have, but also the more difficult it would be for it to evolve. It required unimaginable resources to evolve such a Heavenly Family Fey's power.
There were numerous such Heavenly Family Feys in the Heavenly Family Cottage, but they rarely managed to become one of its leaders.
The Heavenly Family Cottage had once tried to help a Heavenly Family Fey linked to numerous natural phenomena to become one of the leaders. But even after investing all of their resources, they could not cross that gap.
Lin Yuan was confident he could take care of Sky Sea's needs, but not that he could help it to transform successfully.
The Mother of Bloodbath commanded the sun. This one natural phenomenon had already caused the Mother of Bloodbath extreme pain and put it in great danger.
Besides asking Eternal Source to protect Sky Sea, Lin Yuan could only provide it with resources.
The calm sky changed abruptly and was promptly embroiled in a windstorm. Rain, snow, and lightning gathered in the windstorm, and the changing power of day and night suddenly exploded into existence. More and more natural phenomena mixed in with the windstorm. It was as though the sky was the medium for the windstorm.
This sight caused Lin Yuan to hold his breath.
It could be said that Sky Sea had to endure a combination of the moon and stars, night and day, storming rain, lightning, and more.
The Mother of Bloodbath, Sacred Cry Moon Beast, Purple Love. White Phoenix, Gray, and the other Heavenly Family Feys had only had to endure a single-faceted test.
This was almost unbelievable!
As such, Lin Yuan believed that if Sky Sea could evolve into a Heavenly Family Fey, it could become the king of all Heavenly Family Feys.
However, the changes to the sky would only be the beginning.
Suddenly, the power of ferocious ocean waves materialized on the barren ground.
Good God! Was this another Blue Lotus?
Blue Lotus only had control over the seas. But Sky Sea controlled all the oceans of the world.
By being tested by both the sky and sea, it was as though the will of the main world itself was testing Sky Sea!
Eternal Source tried his best to contain all the explosions of natural phenomena, but he quickly realized that despite its Afterlife Realm power, it was having a hard time.
Eternal Source hurriedly told Lin Yuan about this, so the latter summoned the Abyss Great Emperor.
With the Abyss Great Emperor and Eternal Source fending off the natural phenomena, the event was finally contained to a certain extent. If the associated effects of these phenomena leaked out, innocent lifeforms would be harmed.
However, other Heavenly Family Feys would definitely be able to sense the changes in so many facets of nature.
The natural phenomena were still brewing, and Sky Sea flapped its wings while it waited for its test.
Morbius appeared next to Lin Yuan in its illusionary form and said softly, "Partner, with Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor here, Sky Sea will definitely be able to pass the test! You don't have to be overly worried!
"These resources will definitely be of use to Sky Sea's transformation. You have to trust in the culmination of all our work!
"Sky Sea can remain in the Spirit Lock spatial zone from now on. The spirit qi that it absorbs from the Spirit Lock spatial zone will be sufficient for its daily consumption! Sky Sea's Myth Breed exclusive skill is rather interesting. When we get to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, this exclusive skill will remove the need for us to find and build a new base!"
Lin Yuan looked at Morbius curiously and checked on Sky Sea with True Data.
[Fey Name: Floating Island Whale
[Fey Species: Large-winged-whale-species/island-whale-species.
[Fey Grade: Suzerain (3/10)
[Fey Type: Water/Wind
[Fey Quality: Myth I
Abilities:
[Whale Blood Screen: Set fire to the essence blood inside its body and form a screen that can protect everything on its back.
[Water Vapor Whale Feelers: Transform its feelers into water vapor and use them to gather nutrients from the environment to recover itself.
[Whale Spout Empowerment: Through the blowhole in its head, it can shoot out energy from its energy and supply it to entities with compatible bodies to replenish their energy or fix them up in other ways.
[Lashing Spirit Tail Wings: After being nourished by pure spirit qi, the wings and tail will be covered with skin that can filter out spirit qi. With every movement of the wings and tail, the spirit qi can be directed to its back to increase the concentration of spirit qi on its back.
[Flesh Solidification: An additional mouth that is connected to the additional stomach will grow below the blowhole. The metal and rocks that enter the additional stomach will strengthen the flesh during the contraction and expansion of the additional stomach. The solidified flesh will not affect the growth of the whale's bones.
[Whale's Breath: Gather energy that is compatible with its body and shoot it out at a target. Before the target escapes the breath's lock, the breath will lock and track the target.
[Floating Whale Sinks: When the things and lifeforms on the whale's back are dying, a mournful cry of grief will be released. The sky will be like the ocean, and its body and soul will be the price paid to protect all the beings on its back.
Exclusive Skill:
[Floating Island Secret Realm: A special space will be opened within the whale's abdomen by swallowing wind-elemental energy. The higher the purity of the wind-elemental energy, the larger the space will be. However, the space will not exceed twice the size of the body. By swallowing water-elemental energy, the flesh will gain powerful fusion abilities that will enable the fats to stick to any lifeform, dead or alive, and drain nutrients from them. The purer the water-elemental energy, the stronger the fusion ability will be.
[Knotted Life Cohabitation: Pick a lifeform on its back to fuse and share its life with. Before its life comes to an end, the target will not die. Before the target dies, it can continue living even if it sustains a serious injury.
[Accommodating Territory Transformative Environment: A territory can be subsumed into its body and the body will become a part of this territory. The entities on its body can also be placed anywhere on this territory. The root power of the surroundings can be used to nourish the body and allow the body to be acknowledged by the environment.
When Lin Yuan saw Sky Sea's Accommodating Territory Transformative Environment, he understood why Morbius said what it said. He also understood why Morbius believed that Sky Sea could overcome this test involving numerous natural phenomena.
Accommodating Territory Transformative Environment would enable Sky Sea to be acknowledged by its environment. Thus, Sky Sea could have an easy time when undergoing tests from nature in the future. It would not have to go through the risk of being on the brink of death each time.
2625 What Kind of Earthly Paradise Is This?
When he arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Sky Sea could pick a place and subsume it into its body so that it became a part of this place. This would indeed allow Lin Yuan to obtain a perfect place where he could settle down.
This place would allow Lin Yuan to enter and exit unseen at will.
Lin Yuan was very excited by the prospect of using the environment's root power to gain its recognition.
Sky Sea had been recognized by the sea and sky and became the Heavenly Family Fey that commanded them.
If it could also become one with the mountains, rivers, and earth, could it break through its current limit and evolve into a Heavenly Family Fey that commanded the sky, sea, and land?
It went without saying this was just Lin Yuan's guess and prediction. He would only reach a definite result after future experiments.
The description of Accommodating Territory Transformative Environment set Lin Yuan at ease.
Sky Sea's body was continuously being degraded and damaged by the test from natural phenomena.
Once Sky Sea's voice appeared in his mind, Lin Yuan immediately instructed Eternal Source to bring over two wooden boxes and poured out all the wind- and water-elemental pearls on Sky Sea's back.
The Abyss Great Emperor brought over the Diamond fey storage boxes filled with spirit qi crystals and began pouring them out as well.
Lin Yuan did not feel reluctant to use so many precious resources so quickly.
Rather, it was Eternal Source who was complaining to himself.
It turned out that Lin Yuan had such an enormous store of pure elemental energy!
Eternal Source had received a fair amount of rewards from Lin Yuan since becoming his subordinate, but this was the first time he was getting such an unfiltered view of Lin Yuan's wealth.
When he looked at Sky Sea, Eternal Source could not help but be reminded of Lift Marsh that gobbled up marsh soil.
After consuming so much marsh soil, Lift Marsh had grown larger than Sky Sea, but it did not have as many abilities as Sky Sea did.
When they went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Sky Sea and Lift Marsh would become Lin Yuan's two moving fortresses.
Eternal Source was certain Lin Yuan would take him with him to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. He was confident of this! He was well aware of how important he was to Lin Yuan.
Eternal Source could not help but look forward to the life and adventures awaiting him in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
As an Afterlife Realm Dictator who grew up under the law of the jungle, Eternal Source did not like a life as stable as the one he was currently living. He preferred for his life to have more thrill and danger.
The immense store of resources that Lin Yuan possessed would be the core that sustained the development in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Due to Accommodating Territory Transformative Environment, Sky Sea had to endure a cleansing from multiple natural phenomena. However, it was in a relatively decent state compared to the Mother of Bloodbath, whose body had cracked when it was trying to evolve into a Heavenly Family Fey.
Sky Sea was transforming into a relatively peaceful state and intermittently absorbed elemental energy and pure spirit qi. Its body also steadily grew larger.
The transformation of Sky Sea's body delighted Lin Yuan.
Its body had become a 1/3 larger than its original size even before its evolution was completed.
Lin Yuan was very glad that Hu Quan had not started working on constructing Sky City on Sky Sea's back immediately.
Sky Sea would grow to at least twice its original size by the time its transformation was complete. As such, the original Sky City designs would have to be altered.
Although Sky Sea did not seem to be severely injured by the natural phenomena, but it was initially in extreme discomfort.
However, it quickly adjusted to the World Cleansing and bravely fought back against the natural phenomena while enjoying the feeling of transformation.
Sky Sea could clearly sense its body being strengthened with every passing second.
Half a day passed, and the test from the multiple natural phenomena started to dissipate slowly.
Sky Sea had successfully evolved into a Heavenly Family Fey.
It was larger than Lin Yuan had expected and was around 2.5 times its original size. Its body was more than 20 kilometers long and could be considered a truly gigantic beast! This was the largest lifeform that Lin Yuan had ever seen!
Previously, Lift Marsh had been slightly larger than Sky Sea. But now, Sky Sea was larger than Lift Marsh.
There was a limit to the types and quantity of marsh soil. Ever since Lin Yuan took control of the marsh world, he had not stopped searching for and collecting marsh soil. He had fed Lift Marsh every type of marsh soil at least once.
Lift Marsh was nearing its maximum size. It had a diameter of 15 kilometers and was the result of the mountain of earth-elemental pearls and marsh soil that Lin Yuan had injected into it.
It was also a miracle that was almost impossible to replicate.
Once Sky Sea was done with its evolution, Lin Yuan brought it into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
There was no limit to the Spirit Lock spatial zone's height, so Sky Sea could fly around freely.
Lin Yuan was currently on the other side of the Barren Sea. He also had two Afterlife Realm experts who were using their auras to block out the surroundings. Otherwise, the members of Heavenly Family Cottage would have already made their way over there.
By the time Lin Yuan returned to the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Hu Quan had called over all of the Spirit Craftsmen and did a headcount of all of them.
The Spirit Craftsmen had been sent to the marsh world in two batches, and there were a total of 200 of them.
All of them were loyal to Sky City and had also dedicated their loyalties to Lin Yuan. They had been the first to raise their hands when Lin Yuan mentioned needing people to go under the radar.
Lin Yuan had been generously investing resources into these loyal men.
Hu Quan and Lin Yuan had been nurturing these Spirit Craftsmen for almost a year. Hu Quan was in charge of providing them with the techniques, while Lin Yuan was in charge of supplying the resources.
Some of these Spirit Craftsmen had only been pinnacle Class 2 when they first entered the marsh world. Most of them had been Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen, while only three of them were Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen.
But now, all of the pinnacle Class 2 Spirit Craftsmen had reached Class 3, while the intermediate and above Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen made up 75% of the entire group. There were now four Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen instead of three.
The only regret was that not a single one of them had managed to become a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman.
However, Lin Yuan knew nurturing a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman was not easy.
But if the 200 Spirit Craftsmen were given enough time, at least 10% of them could eventually become Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen.
Lin Yuan had given Bronze/Epic feys to all of these Spirit Craftsmen. He had even given Bronze/Legend feys to some of the more talented ones!
The high-quality Bronze feys were of great help to the Spirit Craftsmen during their constructions. They helped the Spirit Craftsmen to build even more beautiful structures.
Hu Quan, the teacher, was currently lecturing the 200 Spirit Craftsmen.
It was easy for a master to guide one disciple, but it would become difficult to guide many of them. The difficulty did not come from the teaching of techniques but because Hu Quan wanted to ensure that every single one of his disciples grew up with the right character.
Hu Quan had not placed much emphasis on this in the beginning. As a result, conflict had broken out among the Spirit Craftsmen.
It was inevitable for them to have their own selfish desires when it came to the allocation of resources.
After a few instances of conflict among the Spirit Craftsmen, Hu Quan began paying attention to combing out the mindsets of his disciples. The most effective way to go about this was to lecture them daily.
The Spirit Craftsmen who had their own opinions could seek him out after his lectures.
If this Spirit Craftsman had indeed been wronged, Hu Quan would right the wrong immediately.
But if there was something wrong with the Spirit Craftsman's character, Hu Quan would sort out their character immediately.
Hu Quan would have to employ other means if he could not fix their character.
Hu Quan had kicked six Spirit Craftsmen out of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion in the past year.
Hu Quan did not intend to make an example out of anyone, but his actions had scared the other Spirit Craftsmen.
Hu Quan had taken full control of this team in the past year.
As Hu Quan looked at the 200 disciples he had personally brought up, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
After passing through Klein Hub to arrive at the marsh world, Lin Yuan did not interrupt Hu Quan's lecture.
After Hu Quan was done with his lecture and it was confirmed that no Spirit Craftsmen needed to speak with him, Lin Yuan walked over to Hu Quan and said with a smile, "Uncle Hu, let me take you to a nice place. From today onward, you will be leading your team to decorate that place!"
Hu Quan looked surprised.
The Return from Faraway Mansion was filled with beauty, nature, and talented people. The marsh world also had a wonderful environment.
Lin Yuan had never praised the Return from Faraway Mansion or marsh world's environments.
Hu Quan was very curious to see the environment that was deserving of being called 'nice' by Lin Yuan.
Hu Quan was one of Sky City's core members and found out about the main world's impending crisis from Lin Yuan. He also knew that Lin Yuan was gathering many Spirit Craftsmen from the Radiance Federation so they could build up the Radiance Federation's base as a way of handling the impending crisis.
Hu Quan did not feel envious at all. Rather, he felt that Lin Yuan was depending on him. Vissit n๐velbin.c๐m for ๐ew ๐ovels
At such a time, Lin Yuan did not ask him to lead the work in the Radiance Federation. Rather, he was instructed to attend to the construction on Sky Sea's back.
The Radiance Federation was Lin Yuan's responsibility, but Sky City was Lin Yuan's roots.
The Spirit Craftsmen building the Radiance Federation's base would only have the authority to come up with plans, but they could not make any decisions about key issues. The Land Imps would be the ones making those decisions.
Hu Quan hated it when he was unable to make decisions regarding his work. After spending a prolonged period carving and creating pieces, he also became unwilling to interact with society.
Now, Lin Yuan was going to assign him more jobs on top of the construction on Sky Sea.
Not only would this raise the capabilities of his entire team, but Hu Quan believed that his horizons would also be broadened.
Lin Yuan had gathered various precious ingredients from the dimensional worlds, including high-grade metal-type spiritual ingredients from the subterranean world.
Hu Quan felt he would finally have the chance to use those spiritual ingredients.
"Young Master, a place you call nice must be so. Did Sky Sea change after its evolution? I will draw up a new design for Sky City and instruct my men to begin the construction. Then, we can build up and decorate this place in an even more detailed and intricate manner! Young Master, I would like to know exactly how big this place is."
Hu Quan had always addressed Lin Yuan by his name in the past. But after spending more time and interacting further with him, Hu Quan eventually started calling him 'Young Master' unconsciously. This was a demonstration of the respect he felt for Lin Yuan.
Hu Quan was extremely curious. He knew that Lin Yuan would take him to this place now, but he still could not help but ask Lin Yuan that question.
Lin Yuan did not leave Hu Quan hanging. He knew that Hu Quan was born in the Tide Region in Cloud Lake City.
The Tide Region was around the same size as the Xia Region. If they were compared closely, the Spirit Lock spatial zone might be slightly larger than the Tide Region.
"Uncle Hu, a space the same size as the place you were born should be large enough for you to unleash your prowess! However, several areas of this space will have dedicated uses. I will tell you everything about all the functions that I need!"
Hu Quan almost choked on his saliva when he heard what Lin Yuan said.
A space as large as the Tide Region? Lin Yuan was trying to create a small region! This would be much more challenging than when he had to build the Return from Faraway Mansion!
Hu Quan hurriedly said, "Young Master, let's go and see this place!"
Lin Yuan grabbed the excited Hu Quan and said, "Slow down, Uncle Hu. Take these Spirit Craftsmen with you. You can't start work if you go on your own!"
Lin Yuan's words caused Hu Quan to realize he had acted out of turn.
Hu Quan coughed before waving his hand and saying to the Spirit Craftsmen behind him, "Line up behind me in the order of the numbers that I assigned you for this month's test."
Once Hu Quan was done organizing these Spirit Craftsmen, Lin Yuan was the first to step through Klein Hub.
Lin Yuan never allowed anyone else to pass through Klein Hub in the past. To Hu Quan, Klein Hub was akin to a forbidden zone.
Now that Lin Yuan allowed him through Klein Hub, it showed he trusted him even more!
Before Lin Yuan could think further, Hu Quan, experiencing such pure spirit qi for the first time, felt his cells stunned, then trembling.
A special item covered the Spirit Lock spatial zone's ground. It seemed like green jade mixed with white jade, finer and smoother than green jade but more transparent than white. Spots of green within the white held endless life.
To Hu Quan, the vast Spirit Lock spatial zone was an uncut jade he could carve as he wished.
A dreamy paradise!
This pure spirit qi environment would benefit him and other Spirit Craftsmen, refining their bodies. It could also complement many fey types, letting them transform into their most beautiful forms.
This perfectly fit Hu Quan's design passion of combining feys with the environment!
The Spirit Craftsmen who followed Hu Quan into the Spirit Lock spatial zone had all previously worked on the Return from Faraway Mansion. Additionally, after working in the marsh world for a year, they all gained considerable experience.
At that moment, all of their jaws had dropped.
The Spirit Lock spatial zone's environment exceeded their realms of comprehension. Just what kind of earthly paradise was that?
Genius snuggled into Lin Yuan's arms and blinked purposefully at him.
Lin Yuan immediately understood what Genius was trying to say.
Genius was hoping that Hu Quan could build their base as soon as possible so that the army of Hundred Questions Beasts would have a space to work and produce Creation Master resources! This would build up Lin Yuan's arsenal of spirit fluids.
2626 The Deposit Vegetable Pod!
Lin Yuan had been very anxious about the construction of Sky City on Sky Sea's back.
This was because Lin Yuan did not understand the Sleeper's Revival plan's aim, and he saw Sky Sea as his main strategic weapon against Tower Canon.
But now, he knew the true meaning of the Sleeper's Revival plan. Tower Canon saw the entire main world as a tower defense game.
In land wars, Sky Sea that moved in the sky would not be of any use.
Lin Yuan's sights were not only limited to the main world.
Sky Sea would only be of use in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Lin Yuan was not in a rush to have Hu Quan finish constructing Sky City on Sky Sea's back.
Rather than begin building Sky City immediately, it would be more beneficial for Lin Yuan if the construction of the base in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was completed first!
Lin Yuan reached out and patted the soft fur on Genius' back before he told Hu Quan, who was currently mesmerized by the Spirit Lock spatial zone's environment, "Uncle Hu, if we call Sky Sea's back Sky City's base, this would be Sky City's incubator. Or rather, this is the core world for Sky City's members.
"I hope you will do your best to build everything that is meant to be placed here. That will ensure that everything produced in the base will be the best of the best! I will provide you with top resources! I will hand the resource list to you later, and Genius will provide you with knowledge on them so you will have a better understanding of the resources."
In the past, Wen Yu was always the one who assigned tasks to Hu Quan. But she was now on the other side of the Barren Sea, helping Lin Yuan to search for the Continent Vein Cores.
Every member of Sky City skilled at governance had their own jobs to do and could not take charge of the design and construction of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan let out a soft breath.
It was clear that at the rapid rate that Sky City was developing, there were not enough members skilled in governance and interpersonal skills to go around!
However, when it came to constructing the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan could only trust friends like Wen Yu and Liu Jie.
Lin Yuan was very willing to depend on Bai Qinghuan, but he would never trust her as much as he did Liu Jie and Wen Yu.
Genius was like a daddy's boy and understood Lin Yuan's thoughts well. When it communicated with Hu Quan, it could offer some helpful suggestions on Lin Yuan's behalf.
Hu Quan had been on a path of continuous breakthroughs and had surpassed the Class 5 Spirit Craftsman level. If he could match Night Leaning Moon's skills in mechanics, he could be given the title of Class 6 Spirit Craftsman.
Hu Quan had the skills, but his experience was lacking. He did not recognize or understand many of the precious resources that Lin Yuan possessed. Thus, he struggled to combine them with his designs.
Lin Yuan handed the resource list to Hu Quan so that he could gain an understanding of these spiritual ingredients he had never seen or even heard of before.
Hu Quan could definitely flesh out his designs.
Hu Quan's expression of mesmerization morphed into joy upon hearing that.
Lin Yuan had always treated him well and trusted him greatly. He even allowed him to handle resources as precious as Island Whale bones.
Lin Yuan was aware of all of this and was very grateful for the trust that Lin Yuan had in him.
Before entering the marsh world, Hu Quan always thought Lin Yuan had already given him the best resources he possessed.
But after entering the marsh world and gaining an understanding of the resources available there, as well as Lin Yuan's status in the marsh world, Hu Quan finally learned he had only had access to relatively impressive resources. Only now was Lin Yuan giving him access to the most precious resources!
Hu Quan badly yearned to carve out a small world using these precious resources.
Being a Spirit Craftsman came with a certain level of OCD personality.
There were currently very few structures in this environment, and he could design and construct infrastructure with functional-type properties.
Hu Quan assured Lin Yuan, "Young Master, I have much more time to work now that I have contracted the Vitality Sloth! Feel free to let me know of any ideas you have. Once I understand the effects of these spiritual ingredients, I will build a base per your requests as soon as possible!
"You know that I love combining feys with the environment. Many feys need to be nourished by elemental energy. Is it possible for you to nurture a few high-quality Bronze Deposit Vegetable Pods? I would like to store the elemental pearls in them."
The Deposit Vegetable Pods would not use up the elemental energy within the elemental pearls but could use the elemental pearl to nourish the lifeforms in the surroundings.
The Deposit Vegetable Pod was also very beautiful. It resembled a crystal legume that had jade vines.
Once the beans ripened, they would also leap out on their own. They would also serve as gorgeous accessories when paired with the elemental pearls' radiance.
There were many feys in the world. Genius had read about plant-type feys like the Deposit Vegetable Pod in a book about Spirit Craftsmanship when it had been gathering information.
The Deposit Vegetable Pod started out as a cash crop. Its beans had a very similar taste to peas but were cheaper than peas.
However, the Deposit Vegetable Pod did not produce many beans and was quickly eliminated from the list of cash crops.
It was a Creation Master who had accidentally poured spirit fluid over the soil while nurturing the Deposit Vegetable Pod and managed to evolve to Flawless.
When the Deposit Vegetable Pod was evolved to Flawless, it could activate and use elemental energy to nourish the environment. However, this would drain its store of elemental energy.
The Class 2 Creation Master who discovered this wrote and published a thesis that caught the eye of a Class 4 Creation Master.
This Class 4 Creation Master was from Sea Sky Creation and was likely one of Ji Feng's ancestors.
Class 4 Creation Masters had stronger capabilities and more resources to conduct experiments on feys.
When this Class 4 Creation Master evolved the Deposit Vegetable Pod to Gold/Epic, he noticed that it no longer drained whatever was placed within it when it was nourishing its surroundings.
This discovery had spurred the Class 4 Creation Master on, and he was motivated to invest more energy into evolving the Deposit Vegetable Pod.
After painstaking and exhausting efforts, he was finally able to nurture a new Silver/Legend Deposit Vegetable Pod that could use elemental energy to nurture its surroundings better than the Gold/Epic Deposit Vegetable Pod could.
This meant that the Deposit Vegetable Pod was a special fey that had stronger effects at lower grades and high qualities!
However, low-grade/high-quality feys were extremely difficult to nurture. At the very least, Class 4 Creation Master resources were required.
The resources would be better used to nurture the Elemental Shellfish rather than low-grade/high-quality Deposit Vegetable Pod.
The same amount of resources could produce more than ten elemental pearls. Three to four elemental pearls would be able to change an environment to a far greater extent than the Deposit Vegetable Pod could.
Thus, the Deposit Vegetable Pod was rarely brought up. ๐ รชแบกd new chapt๐rs on no/v/e/l๐
After Hu Quan mentioned the Deposit Vegetable Pod, Genius immediately sent all the information related to the Deposit Vegetable Pod to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. Filling the Deposit Vegetable Pod with elemental pearls would indeed be very suitable for the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
Firstly, it would be very easy for Lin Yuan to nurture the Bronze/Legend Deposit Vegetable Pods.
Furthermore, he had a large number of high-quality elemental pearls. He did not have an urgent use for these elemental pearls, so storing them in the Deposit Vegetable Pods would not be a waste!
Lastly, the Deposit Vegetable Pod was beautiful enough to blend in with the Spirit Lock spatial zone's environment.
Based on Hu Quan's suggestion, it was clear he had put a lot of thought into the Spirit Lock spatial zone's design.
"Uncle Hu, I will be able to provide you with 100 of the Deposit Vegetable Pods within two days. Rather than filling them with elemental pearls with outer radiance, I think that filling them with the elemental dolls will be a better choice."
While Lin Yuan spoke, he took out two elemental dolls.
Elemental dolls had intelligence imbued into them from their elements.
The elemental pearl was still the core of the elemental doll. But being imbued with intelligence, the elemental pearl could contain emotions and manipulate movement.
If the Deposit Vegetable Pods were filled with elemental dolls, they would fly around the Deposit Vegetable Pods and produce a more pleasant sight than if the Deposit Vegetable Pods were filled with elemental pearls.
More importantly, the elemental energy in the dolls was much purer than that of pearls.
Using a combination of the Deposit Vegetable Pod and elemental dolls to nourish the environment would undoubtedly be much more beneficial for the other feys.
Hu Quan was no longer surprised by Lin Yuan's capabilities.
When he previously asked Lin Yuan for resources, he prepared himself for a long wait. Yet, Lin Yuan delivered the resources to him within a few days.
Hu Quan had never seen the elemental dolls before and intended to ask Genius to explain them to him.
Hu Quan was not a Creation Master. As a Spirit Craftsman, he did not have the strong investigative and sensing abilities for spiritual ingredients that Creation Masters did.
Genius had used Connected Tails to send knowledge to Hu Quan more than once.
Hu Quan really liked how he could gain a sea of knowledge just from being linked to Genius' tails.
"Young Master, tell me about the structures you want to build in advance. There is no limit to the height of this space. With my current mechanical abilities, I can use metal spiritual ingredients to build a high-speed elevator or spatial-type spiritual ingredients to build a transport vehicle.
"If you only need me to build tall structures, I think that the high-speed elevator will be more useful. After all, the transport vehicle will use up energy. But there won't be this concern for a high-speed elevator. A mechanical core will be needed to build a high-speed elevator, and this mechanical core will produce energy on its own."
When Lin Yuan heard what Hu Quan said, he could not help but be reminded of the skyscrapers from his previous life.
The Spirit Lock spatial zone was indeed enormous now. As Lin Yuan continued to develop, he would need to use more of the space. Thus, regardless of how large the Spirit Lock spatial zone became, it would be difficult for it to catch up to Lin Yuan's needs.
Thus, he would be very willing to try building upward to maximize his utilization of the space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
"Uncle Hu, I would like you to build a base for Creation Masters. There isn't a limit to its height, so it'll all depend on your abilities. I need there to be 500 rooms, and each room has to be around 80 to 100 square feet.
"There also needs to be two sets of cat trees made of jade-textured wood. The work tables need to be around 60 centimeters in height. You can place around 20 centimeters tall futons below each work table. You don't have to create the bottles used to concoct spirit fluids. I will purchase them from the Creation Master Association."
Lin Yuan paused for a moment before looking at Hu Quan and smiling. "Uncle Hu, I'm sure you know why I have such a plan. I hope you will be able to complete it for me with perfection in mind.
"Additionally, dedicate a space to build a place for cat-species feys to live. It will house around 1,500 cat-species feys. The cat-species feys are able to adjust their form, so there's no need for the space to be too big.
"Breeding bases will also be needed to grow the Soldier Ration Radishes and Item-Storing Walnut Trees. Move all the marsh soil meant to nurture the Soldier Ration Radishes and Item-Storing Walnuts from the marsh world to below these two building bases.
"The Barren River Orchid Bud can be grown between these two breeding bases! It will be able to benefit from the energy of the marsh soil under the two breeding bases.
"Don't forget residences for yourself and the other Spirit Craftsmen as well. The conditions of your living spaces will remain the same. The only difference will be that it will now be in high-rise buildings. Every month, I will send you twice your base wages."
Hu Quan earnestly made notes of all of Lin Yuan's requests. He preferred to write everything down rather than rely on his memory. He had a good memory, but it was inevitable to miss out on some things when there were too many things to remember.
Hu Quan was not stupid. He had discovered the army of Hundred Questions Beasts in the past year that he spent in the marsh world.
He had been astonished when he first found out about the army of Hundred Questions Beasts.
If a species of fey could be nurtured into Creation Masters, this would spell massive changes for the main world.
This secret was enormous.
Hu Quan judged others based on his own values. He was afraid Lin Yuan would act against him when he learned he knew this secret.
It was not that Hu Quan did not trust Lin Yuan but that this secret was far too earth-shattering.
But now, Lin Yuan was bringing up this matter without hiding it from him.
Hu Quan was so touched that he came to a decision. He would never leave the Spirit Lock spatial zone for the rest of his life, aside from when Lin Yuan sent him out on jobs! He would also rein in the Spirit Craftsmen and ensure they caused no trouble.
There would be significant benefits concerning his quality of life and lifespan if he lived in this environment.
"Young Master, I have recorded everything that you said. I know why you have requested such designs, and I will enact them exactly as you requested!"
2627 Exclusive Skill: Sky Fate Attachment!
"Once the 50 Land Imps that you send me follow my plan and build the frame, you can begin using the space. I will slowly carve and add in the additional details. After all, it will take more than just a year or two to finish a project involving a space as large as this!"
As a Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan detested employers like that the most. He had encountered such an employer when he was younger. Since he had only been a Class 2 Spirit Craftsman then, he had ended up being horribly bullied by that employer.
Thus, from then on, Hu Quan developed the habit of making his expected deadlines known before he took on any job.
Despite knowing that Lin Yuan was not like that, Hu Quan could not kick this habit.
Low-class Spirit Craftsmen only had to fear being inconvenienced if their employers were regular people. But if their employers were figures of authority, many low-class Spirit Craftsmen would be able to attest to having experienced being bullied out of their deserved compensation by such employers.
Luckily, almost 30 years ago, the Radiance Federation's constant reforms led to the establishment of the Spirit Craftsman Association, which put an end to such occurrences.
"Uncle Hu, all you need to do is build the frame. You can add in the details slowly in the future! A while later, I will assign some Myth Breed feys in human form to assist you. I will also send 50 Land Imps to you. They should be enough. There will be at least one Samsara Realm Dictator and five Turning Wheel Realm Dictators among these 50 Land Imps."
Lin Yuan had only relocated a portion of the Land Imps from the subterranean world to the Radiance Federation. There were far too many Land Imps in the subterranean world. If they were all moved to the Radiance Federation, they would outnumber the Radiance Federation's citizens.
Lin Yuan had only moved the cream of the crop to the Radiance Federation, but he had not moved the Land Imps like Sweet Vanquish, who fulfilled management roles.
Lin Yuan could send a team of Land Imps led by Sweet Vanquish to the Spirit Lock spatial zone to help Hu Quan.
Sweet Vanquish was very smart and knew he needed to strive to do the best that he could. Once his position as a leader was secured, he would do his best in the job that he was given.
Hu Quan immediately smiled brightly when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He had spent enough time in the marsh world to understand the significance of a Samsara Realm Dictator.
With Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators at his disposal when he was building the frame of the base in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he might be able to complete the construction within a day or two!
Hu Quan did not give Lin Yuan any more assurances as Lin Yuan had an even deeper understanding of the power of Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators. Thus, he definitely knew how quickly the construction of the base would be able to progress with the help of the Land Imps!
Lin Yuan did not give out any more instructions past those involving the initial work that had to be done.
Instead, he planned on waiting until Hu Quan was done with the initial work before he assigned new work to Hu Quan based on the circumstances at that point.
One could only imagine how many years the catastrophic disaster stemming from Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan would last.
Hu Quan and the 200 Spirit Craftsmen would definitely be able to finish the required constructions in the Spirit Lock spatial zone during that time!
Once this disaster was dealt with and Tower Canon was defeated, it would be time for Lin Yuan to think about heading to the Sky Beyond the Clouds!
Lin Yuan was about to depart the Spirit Lock spatial zone when he heard Genius say seriously, "Yuan, I want to try evolving to Myth Breed! I will use the opportunity to ask the heavens for a way to become a Class 5 Creation Master."
It had been accumulating its power for some time but felt it had reached its maximum capacity.
It was afraid that if it waited any longer, it would lose the courage to put its life on the line.
Lin Yuan was struck by what Genius said.
After Genius evolved from the Beast that Connects Everything to the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast, its Fantasy Breed exclusive skill changed from Connected Tails to Tail of Fate.
Tail of Fate was an expansion of Connected Tails. It retained the abilities of Connected Tails while adding the ability to link with the heavens.
Tail of Fate allowed Genius to combine all of its tails into one. It would then sacrifice its spiritual energy for the chance to access the will of the heavens and ask a question that it wanted the answer to.
Genius saw this ability as the key to becoming a Class 5 Creation Master.
Lin Yuan did not know how much spiritual energy Genius would have to sacrifice in order to receive an answer from the heavens on how it could become a Class 5 Creation Master. He was afraid something would happen to Genius in the process. Thus, he never told Genius to give this plan a try.
This was already the third time that Genius was expressing its wish to make an attempt at becoming a Class 5 Creation Master.
Lin Yuan had raised Genius and knew it was very strong-headed.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yuan rationalized that with Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor by his side, they would be able to step in even if the heavenly will ended up causing harm to Genius.
Genius had consumed numerous rainbow fish coats and grown many tails. It could use up these additional tails as it pleased to multiply its soul power and increase its comprehending powers!
Lin Yuan could not stop Genius from evolving because he was afraid something would happen to it. If he did that, he would be no different from an unreasonable parent. Lin Yuan did not want to become such a person.
Lin Yuan reached out and touched Genius' soft fur. "Okay, we'll try evolving you to Myth Breed and attempt to turn you into a Class 5 Creation Master!:
Genius meowed and excitedly wrapped its tails around Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had been afraid that an accident would befall Genius when it questioned the heavens that would affect its spiritual energy.
Genius was anxious to evolve because it wanted to be of more help to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan possessed pure spirit qi and elemental energy. He could also produce such resources.
He was able to accomplish 60% of a Class 5 Creation Master's abilities. However, even using the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan could not accomplish the remaining 40%.
However, given that spirit qi and elemental energy were the foundation of everything, this gap was not as significant as it seemed.
Begin Lady could use its body to produce precious instruments, and this closed the gap between him and a true Class 5 Creation Master even further.
But there were a few special potions that could only be concocted by Class 5 Creation Masters. Lin Yuan would not be able to get his hands on them without going through a true Class 5 Creation Master.
The only true Class 5 Creation Masters that Sky City had were Di Wanmi, Yi Huailu, and Weng Queji.
Lin Yuan had left Yi Huailu in the Divine Wood Federation. The federation badly needed Yi Huailu for its development, and the Startling Lines Continent also needed a Class 5 Creation Master to hold down the fort.
Weng Queji could not produce enough potions to meet Lin Yuan's needs.
The potions concocted by Class 5 Creation Masters could produce unimaginable effects when it came to increasing the production of feys.
Genius really wanted to help shoulder some of Lin Yuan's burdens.
Genius was able to nurture the Hundred Questions Beasts into Class 4 Creation Masters when it was only a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master. This allowed the army of Hundred Questions Beasts to significantly increase their store of Class 4 Creation Master resources.
If Genius managed to become a Class 5 Creation Master, it might be able to use Connected Tails to produce a few Class 5 Creation Masters from the army of Hundred Questions Beasts!
If it could produce Class 5 Creation Masters, the resources that could be produced in the Spirit Lock spatial zone would be substantially improved.
This was why Genius felt so strongly about becoming a Class 5 Creation Master.
Lin Yuan treated Genius well, so Genius had to reciprocate!
Genius and Lin Yuan both liked to keep their true feelings to themselves instead of expressing them.
This was unlike Chimey, who twittered non-stop whenever it was in Lin Yuan's arms.
Genius had tried to advise Chimey numerous times.
Chimey burped continuously daily as it drank the Grade 4 potions that Genius concocted. Otherwise, its bloodline would not have evolved so smoothly when it evolved to Myth Breed.
After Genius evolved to Myth Breed, Lin Yuan would not have any other feys he needed to help to overcome their trials anytime soon.
Dark Blue was currently refining the energy from within strange water and still needed some time.
Lin Yuan had only started nurturing Shiny. Coiling Dragon's Valley had finally started producing dragon liver in batches. Dark Clouds Bird Shrine had also offered to supply Lin Yuan with a large amount of phoenix essence blood.
The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil and Purple Demon still needed to build up their bloodlines.
The Merciful Star Peony's grade could only be evolved after Lin Yuan used moonlight to temper himself. He currently did not have the time to do so. He intended to find the time to ask the Moon Empress to use Forage Moon's six moons to temper him.
Not only did his physique improve rapidly, but the Merciful Star Peony's grade and quality would also increase quickly. It might even mutate!
Weng Queji was entirely focused on the Bug-Consuming Thearch Emperor Lizards' family. Vissit n๐velbin.c๐m for ๐ew ๐ovels
Lin Yuan didn't worry because a Class 5 Creation Master was constructing a fortress with six Bug-Consuming Thearch Emperor Lizards.

After leaving the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Genius, without any extra preparations, immediately used the second ability of Tail of Fate, Highest Access Tail.
Suddenly, Genius' spiritual energy sea gathered. Its illusionary tails merged into one, shooting upward through the cloud-covered sky, carrying the spiritual energy sea.
World willpower activated instantly. The clouds dispersed, forming a deep vortex. The current clouds seemed unpredictable.
While looking at Genius, Lin Yuan's lips tightened. Genius had suffered greatly during its evolution to Fantasy Breed. Its flesh had been taken apart, and it had nearly lost its life.
Due to that, Lin Yuan feared for Genius' safety when it asked the heavens for a path to become a Class 5 Creation Master.
Only those who truly cared would experience a sense of loss.
What surprised Lin Yuan even more was that aside from the vortex of clouds formed by Genius' communion with the heavens, everything else remained calm.
Genius hadn't even utilized Tail Trigger.
Suddenly, an aura emanated from Genius, triggering World Cleansing instantly.
Genius' World Cleansing was unique. Spiritual and soul fluctuations with an annihilative aura emerged from the sky's opening.
Lin Yuan briefly wondered if this World Cleansing was specific to Genius or if all spiritual- and soul-type feys underwent it while evolving to Myth Breed.
Regardless, Eternal Source blocked this fierce World Cleansing with a finger flick.
Following this, the World Grace landed on Genius' body.
Light emanated from Genius' body and enveloped it.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Genius.

[Sky Fate Attachment: The affiliation with heavenly will will be deepened, and the fate of the heavenly will will be attached to it to elevate its chances of success when concocting spirit fluids or when performing other actions.
2628 The Army of Hundred Questions Beasts Expanded to the Limit!
Genius had not evolved from the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast despite reaching Myth Breed!
Lin Yuan was not surprised by this at all.
Genius' bloodline had only evolved from the Beast that Connects Everything to the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast due to a coincidental opportunity that occurred during its evolution to Diamond grade.
The Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast's life rank was extremely high and was linked to the roots of the world. It had the same life rank as the Sky-Plundering Beast!
Morbius had already very seriously confirmed this with Lin Yuan.
When compared to Chimey that had grown up with Genius, Chimey could produce the sun from its body but Genius' bloodline was still more elite!
This was why Lin Yuan wanted to give one of the totem seeds to the Hundred Questions Beast species.
It was very unlikely that Genius' bloodline would evolve again before it reached Eternal or set its spirit fire alight!
Genius was currently swaddled by light. It had become a Suzerain/Myth fey and gained a new ability called True Knowledge Analysis.
Genius could analyze the structure and capabilities of an entity when it wrapped the entity in its spiritual energy.
This would not only allow Genius to use its spiritual energy to understand its target but also to communicate with the target's roots.
In this aspect, there was some overlap between Genius and True Data's ability. It could be considered a weaker version of True Data.
However, Lin Yuan was not at all disappointed by this overlap. Rather, he was very excited about it!
There were some special spiritual ingredients that Genius was unable to fully understand, given its current knowledge. Lin Yuan would need to examine the spiritual ingredients' properties before Genius began using them. Due to this, Genius was unable to function fully independently from Lin Yuan.
But True Knowledge Analysis would allow Genius to stand on its own from now on!
Furthermore, True Knowledge Analysis could also discern between combined entities and analyze their capabilities individually.
Every Class 5 Creation Master had their own unique concoctions, and they would never divulge the recipes of those concoctions to others.
Before each recipe was considered complete, the Class 5 Creation Master would have to study it carefully and conduct many trials!
But if Genius got its hands on those potions, it could use True Knowledge Analysis to uncover the types and proportion of spiritual ingredients required to make these spirit fluids as well as what functions they had. In Genius' hands, these potions were no longer secrets!
Furthermore, after analyzing their composition, Genius could use heavenly will to confirm if its analysis was accurate! This meant that Genius' analyses would never be wrong.
True Knowledge Analysis was even more impressive than a Class 6 Creation Master!
The Moon Empress was a Class 6 Creation Master, and the one who had proposed the definition of a Class 6 Creation Master.
Lin Yuan could be certain she studied every potion that passed her eyes. However, it was difficult for her to come up with the exact recipe for every potion unless she had a large amount of the potion available that would allow her to conduct repeated experiments!
However, Sky Fate Attachment, which Genius attained after reaching Myth Breed, was even more astonishing than the Suzerain ability, True Knowledge Analysis.
Sky Fate Attachment would allow Genius to deepen its affiliation with heavenly will and use it to boost itselfโits chances of success when concocting spirit fluids of performing any other actions would be raised!
The 'other actions' referred to those that only Class 5 Creation Masters could perform, such as creating precious instruments.
Lin Yuan could tell from Genius' abilities and exclusive skills that it had found its own unique Class 5 Creation Master path.
Given Lin Yuan's understanding of potions, the higher the grade, the more precious ingredients they required and the stronger their effects would be.
The world that Lin Yuan knew as the main world was only a Class 1 world, so the spiritual ingredients available there had limited effects.
Once he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds and came into contact with Class 2, Class 3, or even more powerful worlds, the spiritual ingredients available there would have even more incredible medicinal properties!
The higher the grade of potions, the lower the chances of a successful concoction.
Lin Yuan was not going down the traditional Creation Master route, but Genius was.
From now on, Genius could concoct spirit fluids with special effects as long as it had access to spiritual ingredients!
Even if Sky Fate Attachment only raised the chances of success by a hair, it would still save a sea of resources for Lin Yuan, both in concocting spirit fluids and creating precious instruments!
The concoction of spirit fluids was one matter, but the creation of precious instruments required spiritual ingredients that came from the bodies of sacred source lifeforms. If these spiritual ingredients were damaged during the forging process, it would be extremely difficult to replace them.
Lin Yuan let out a soft breath. Genius' evolution had not put it in any danger, and the abilities and exclusive skills it had gained far exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations. Lin Yuan was floored by every one of Genius' evolutions!
The light that enveloped Genius slowly faded and revealed Genius' body.
Genius' body had not changed in size, but its fur was even fluffier than before. It also had nine tails now instead of eight.
Lin Yuan thought, Amongst all the feys, the fox-species determines the ranking of their bloodlines based on their tails. It almost seems as though Genius is evolving according to the fox-species bloodline!
But it was clear that the Hundred Questions Beast species that Genius represented was going down a completely different direction of evolution from fox-species feys as there were very few Hundred Questions Beasts besides Genius who sported so many tails!
This feature of having tails was the most obvious when it came to Genius' evolutions.
The other Hundred Questions Beasts did not have abilities like Master of Cats either.
Perhaps, unlike the other Hundred Questions Beasts, Genius was a true miracle that Lin Yuan had managed to create!
Lin Yuan was very curious to find out how many tails Genius would end up with once it had reached its final stage of evolution! Vissit n๐velbin.c๐m for ๐ew ๐ovels
By now, Genius had opened its eyes. The first thing it did was fix its eyes on Lin Yuan.
Genius moved over to Lin Yuan's side and said in a child-like voice, "Yuan, I am now a Class 5 Creation Master. Once I enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone and begin teaching the other members of the Hundred Questions Beast army, most of them will be able to become Class 4 Creation Masters!
"I also discovered something. There are no defined gates to pass once one has become a Class 5 Creation Master. You can only continue studying and exploring the roots of all creatures! So, there is no need to define classes past Class 5 Creation Master. Based on my understanding of Chef Supreme and the Bamboo Monarch, I am slightly stronger than them now!
"Once I become more familiar with concocting a few spirit fluids, I should be able to reach the level of a Class 6 Creation Master!"
Lin Yuan stroked Genius' chin, and Genius purred happily.
From what Genius said, Lin Yuan now understood why the Moon Empress had once told him so seriously that the Creation Master path eventually came to an abrupt end, and it was very difficult to continue moving forward past that point.
But after learning about the existence of the Sky Beyond the Clouds from him, the Moon Empress then said that there was no end to a Creation Master's path of growth.
When Creation Masters reached Class 5, their abilities would be improved based on their experience and familiarization with handling spiritual ingredients.
All those who were able to become Class 5 Creation Masters would possess potent spiritual energy and soul power! They would not differ much in terms of the level of control they had over spiritual energy.
"Genius, I will have to trouble you to stay in the Spirit Lock spatial zone for now to teach the army of Hundred Questions Beasts. Both your grade and quality have increased. Now that you are a Suzerain/Myth fey, it's time to expand the army of Hundred Questions Beasts and group of cats!
"What do you think about this? I have purposefully nurtured more than 3,000 excellent Bronze/Legend cat-species feys. You can take your pick from among them!"
Genius meowed upon hearing that and said solemnly, "I intend on adding another 500 spots to the army of Hundred Questions Beasts. It will require all the effort I can muster to teach 1,000 Hundred Questions Beasts. Any more, and I won't have the time to teach every single one of them!
"However, the Hundred Questions Beasts that have become Class 4 Creation Masters will be able to teach 100 Hundred Questions Beast students each on top of their daily concoction of spirit fluids. According to these numbers, there will be 1,000 core members of the Hundred Questions Beast army, as well as 100,000 peripheral members. They might struggle to teach the other Hundred Questions Beasts at first, but they will get used to it quickly!
"When we return and I inform Hu Quan about the properties of various spiritual ingredients, I will tell him about my ideas so he can come up with a design. As long as the structure is tall enough, the army of 100,000 peripheral Hundred Questions Beasts won't take up too much space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
"Frankly, I think that giving every Hundred Questions Beast 80 to 100 square feet of space to work is too much space. Why don't weโ"
Before Genius could finish speaking, Lin Yuan interrupted it. "Genius, firstly, the Spirit Lock spatial zone will only continue to grow larger. With its current size, it can already fit ten million of the Hundred Questions Beasts! You don't have to worry about space.
"Additionally, you can't go back on matters you have already made promises on, especially as the leader of the army of Hundred Questions Beasts. Due to the contraction, the other Hundred Questions Beasts will remain loyal to you, but going back on your promises will definitely result in unrest.
"Why don't we increase the size of the rooms for the main members to 120 square feet while the peripheral members will get 80 to 100 square feet? Hu Quan has been studying mechanics recently. He can build an elevator that will enable the building where the army of Hundred Questions Beasts will work to be thousands of meters tall.
"One building will be able to house more than 30,000 Hundred Questions Beasts, so three buildings will perfectly make up a base for the army of Hundred Questions Beasts. Once the construction of the base is complete, only you and the other Hundred Questions Beasts will be allowed to enter and exit. No one else will be allowed to enter under normal circumstances! I will assign ten Spirit Craftsmen to fix up and decorate the interior."
Genius possessed an enormous amount of information but was not skilled at interpersonal experiences.
Genius could manage a group of 500 members, but when the group grew to 10,000 members or more, Genius couldn't use its original method to manage the army of Hundred Questions Beasts.
Luckily, thanks to the Master of Cats ability, Genius had complete control over the army of Hundred Questions Beasts. Without this ability, neither Lin Yuan nor Genius would have expanded the army to such a large size.
As the army grew, more of them gained the abilities of Class 5 Creation Masters. This caused Lin Yuan's production of Creation Master resources to become massive.
In the future, Lin Yuan's Creation Master resources would go beyond spirit qi crystals and elemental pearls. He would also produce various types of potions!
"Genius, I will ask Listen to ship 500 Hundred Questions Beasts over. Once you have spoken to the army of Hundred Questions Beast and registered all those who have become Class 4 Creation Masters, I will personally lead them in picking out students."
Lin Yuan's approach would be rather tedious, but Lin Yuan did not think that this was a bad thing.
The Hundred Questions Beasts would essentially be picking disciples. Lin Yuan was willing to give them the chance to select their own disciples! This would incentivize them to do their best in teaching these disciples!
Genius would be fully responsible for everything in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Once the Wailing Snake and Sentient Being Protective Dragon secured themselves in the Pure Land of Bliss, the Spirit Lock spatial zone would not only be a paradise but also a place of blessing!

The Dictators and Apostles Lin Yuan sent to Wen Yu had arrived.
With these Apostles and Dictators, Wen Yu was confident she could gather all of the Continent Vein Cores on the other side of the Barren Sea within a month!
From her exploration, Wen Yu discovered there were federations on the other side of the Barren Sea as well, but there were no powerful cultures.
The figures in the federations that could be considered Creation Masters all held shockingly high positions and were treated almost no differently from gods! But in actuality, very few of them were truly capable.
While Wen Yu was interacting with these federations, she found out they held themselves in extremely high regard and were very arrogant toward her.
Thus, Wen Yu had no inclination to continue interacting with them.
She immediately moved on to exploring further locations after instructing Dazzling Silver and a few Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to grab the Continent Vein Cores.
Chu Ci was with Wen Yu. After a few short weeks of training, Chu Ci already felt as though she had experienced true growth!
This allowed Chu Ci to get a clear look at what the world she lived in was like. She no longer saw honing her combat skills as training. The experience she gained from such experiences seemed inconsequential now!
Chu Ci finally understood how Lin Yuan managed to grow so rapidly. He had blown right past his peers and was an unrivaled genius!
It was because Lin Yuan never lived in a comfortable bubble. He was constantly walking along the edge of a knife.
2629 The Radiance Federation and Vast Sea Labyrinth Link Up!
Since he was young, Lin Yuan always provided Chu Ci with the most comfortable and safe environments. With him around, Chu Ci never felt that she was missing out on familial love despite the death of their parents. Rather, with Lin Yuan's affection, Chu Ci already felt she was being enveloped by sunshine and love.
Wen Yu decided that she would return 35 days later.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan returned to the Radiance Federation through the Space Tunnel.
He planned on fetching Wen Yu 35 days later.
Lin Yuan felt he should refrain from using the Space Tunnel to travel as much as possible from the Radiance Federation to the Grotto Continent. Even someone as rich as him felt strained by the resources required for each trip.
It went without saying that Lin Yuan also asked Wen Yu to tell the human clusters on the other side of the Barren Sea about the impending disaster.
Because the Barren Sea separated them, the continents on the other side of the Barren Sea seemed to be disconnected, but their ley lines still linked them.
The disaster that was about to occur due to the Sleeper's Revival would also affect the other side of the Barren Sea.
Lin Yuan would not be so callous as to send the federations on the other side of the Barren Sea to their deaths.
If these federations were willing to believe Lin Yuan, he would be willing to relocate them.
There was no way that Lin Yuan could facilitate such a large-scale migration.
Although the Spirit Lock spatial zone had become several times larger than its original size and the people from the other side of the Barren Sea could be transported through Klein Hub to the marsh world, Lin Yuan had many plans for the base in the main world and did not have time.
However, due to the Heavenly Family Cottage and the Radiance Federation's awareness of Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan, the Radiance Federation finally linked up with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Lin Yuan had presided over this matter through the Moon Empress. The Radiance Federation was now working with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth was the secret ruler of the sea and controlled the most Island Whales of any organization in the main world.
The Island Whales could cross the Barren Sea, so the Vast Sea Labyrinth could be asked to relocate the federations that wanted to be relocated.
After Wen Yu communicated with Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper and learned of his plans, she felt that he was too kind!
She felt there was no need for Lin Yuan to be concerned for the federations on the other side of the Barren Sea as their survival was irrelevant to Sky City's profits!
Suddenly, Wen Yu remembered something that Mystic Moon had said. "With your intelligence, you would eventually be able to prove your capabilities to the Radiant Moon Palace. This is unquestionable. Although you were unable to complete the Moon Envoy test due to your injured roots and were sent to work beneath the four Moon Servants, you would eventually be able to distinguish yourself!
"I am unsure if I could take you in as my disciple after discovering your talents. But I definitely wouldn't recommend that you become a Radiance Knight. Someone as calm as you is too rational and aloof to be able to think for the Radiance Federation's sake."
After Mystic Moon became Wen Yu's master, they were always fully candid with each other.
Mystic Moon's words did not trigger any negative emotions in Wen Yu, and she even agreed with him. She also felt faintly sweet.
This was because everything she had came from Lin Yuan. Without him, she would never have caught Mystic Moon's notice.
She had only been able to grow to this point because she had experienced multiple transformations and awakenings.
Without Lin Yuan's help and saving, she would have slowly sunk into dark despair and depression.
There was no way she would be enveloped in warm sunlight like she currently was!
If Liu Jie and Lin Yuan had not given her pressure or opportunities, she would never have been able to develop her talent in governance.
Lin Yuan's spirit always attracted Wen Yu. It was exactly what she lacked.
Wen Yu always followed Lin Yuan's instructions to the letter.
The federations on the other side of the Barren Sea were on relatively good terms with each other. This was because they were situated rather far from each other and had almost no contact.
With the scarcity of resources, the federations that had contact with each other had already battled each other to near destruction. One would either conquer the other or relocate further from the other. ๐ รชแบกd new chapt๐rs on no/v/e/l๐
Although the federations were in a relatively peaceful state with each other, their internal affairs were tumultuous.
The scarcity of resources was so serious that food supply had become a big challenge.
Furthermore, Creation Masters could nurture production-type feys and were very powerful. This allowed them to become the centers of their respective federations.
This living condition was very similar to that of the Grotto Continent and Broiling Rock Continent.
These continents were on the other side of the Barren Sea and happened to be miniature versions of the other side of the Barren Sea.
The factions on the other side of the Barren Sea were all riled up by the news brought by Wen Yu.
Firstly, Wen Yu was sufficiently powerful, yet they did not try to take over the federations by force. Thus, almost all of the federations believed what she said.
However, the federations all had different opinions about whether they would relocate to the other side of the Barren Sea.
Wen Yu left a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator in every federation. They would not only act as guides when the citizens of the federations did decide to leave but would also give them the freedom to make their own choices rather than being strong-armed into following the decisions of the Creation Masters.
Those who were made aware of the situation but still refused to leave could be left there to battle the dead spirits when the Sleeper's Revival plan began.
Wen Yu gave out these tasks but did not forget that the most important matter at hand was searching for the Continent Vein Cores.
After discovering the Broiling Rock Continent, she did not waste any time and sent two Turning Wheel Realm Dictators off with resources to help Peace.

The millions of Land Imps in the Radiance Federation worked tirelessly, and the laying down of the metal-type stone boards was completed with no issues.
This was partly due to Bai Qinghuan's supervision but also because the Land Imps were under the control of the subterranean world's treasure, the Earth Source Cube.
Otherwise, lifeforms as sly as the Land Imps would never do their best in a job unless their lives were on the line.
Lin Yuan finally relaxed after the metal-type stone boards were laid down.
It could be said that now that the metal-type stone boards were laid down, the foundation for the defense against the Sleeper's Revival plan was complete.
If the Sleeper's Revival began before the metal-type stone boards were laid down, Lin Yuan would never be able to protect the Radiance Federation, regardless of his capability.
With the foundation of the defenses now complete, the Land Imps could send any powerful dead spirits that broke through the metal-type stone boards into the Dead Spirits Well that the Land Imps would soon construct. The spiritual ingredients meant for the Dead Spirits Well had been prepared before the metal-type stone boards had been fully laid down.
Now, they would begin laying down the metal-type stone boards outwards. Lin Yuan had been analyzing a way to join the five dimensional worlds with the main world.
However, Lin Yuan was unsure if he would be making the right decision by evolving this Class 1 world into Class 2.
Morbius had yet to recover relevant memories, and Lin Yuan was afraid he would cause problems by hastily combining the dimensional worlds with the main world.
But it seemed this would be his best chance of protecting the main world, so he needed to make a decision.

The representative groups from the various federations had gathered in the Radiance Federation.
All of them had arrived at the Radiance Federation feeling very troubled.
The location for the first meeting of the Major Federation Union was the Radiance Federation. This caused all the federations to begin guessing how the Freedom Federation had been convinced to give way.
The news from the Radiance Federation came so abruptly that the various federations had not had the time to come up with many guesses.
While on the way here, the federations' representative groups and the federations they came from were all gathering information in a frenzy. But all they found out was that the Freedom Federation's royalty had made a trip to the Radiance Federation.
This included the Mirror God and God of Fools. Could the Freedom Federation's royalty have struck a deal with the Radiance Federation?
The heads of the various federations had a feeling that the sudden meeting of the Major Federation Union was related to that.
However, the Radiance, Freedom, and Azure Federations were all extremely tight-lipped about this matter and refused to let out even a peep.
The Radiance Federation was the head of the Major Federation Union, and the Freedom Federation and Radiance Federation had already discussed the Major Federation Union in advance. But, none of the other federations knew that the two federations had left the Azure Federation out of the loop.
The Azure Federation's 12 aristocratic families had asked the Radiance Federation for information multiple times, but the Moon Empress had not told them anything in advance.
There was no airtight wall in the world. Even if there was, it was likely that Tower Canon had already placed moles within the various federations.
If the Moon Empress let out information in advance, Tower Canon would find out that their plan had been exposed and that the main world was coming up with a way to stop them. It would also lead to mass hysteria.
If the information was released during the Major Federation Union, the federations could react immediately and devise strategies to deal with the issue.
By sending all of their members of royalty to the Radiance Federation, the Freedom Federation had expressed sufficient sincerity.
The Mirror God and God of Fools had not tried to hide their presence at all while traveling on their fey carriage. This shocked all of the representatives of the various federations.
No matter how crucial this meeting was for the Freedom Federation, they could've simply sent one royal member, or at most, the Mirror God or the God of Fools. So, why did both of them come?
Were the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation going to fight during the Major Federation Union meeting?

The Moon Empress had been hanging on using rejuvenating spiritual ingredients. She had not rested in two weeks. Even birth-horoscope experts would get headaches if they remained tightly wound for a prolonged period.
The Moon Empress reached out and pressed her temples while listening to Cold Moon's report.
Ever since Cold Moon left to train Chu Ci, Mystic Moon took up the responsibilities of both Moon Envoys. But now that Cold Moon was back, she resumed her duties.
Mystic Moon had always handled the internal affairs, while Cold Moon was more skilled at handling external affairs.
"Moon Empress, the Radiance Sacred Hall, which was chosen as the location for the Major Federation Union meeting, has been set up. I oversaw the entire process, and there were no issues!
"Of the federations we sent invitations to, only a few of them did not return with a response. A few of those who responded and are located relatively further away still haven't arrived. But the rest have all been settled into envoy lodgings in the Royal Capital."
The Moon Empress nodded before asking, "Did those federations located relatively further away say when they will be able to arrive?"
Cold Moon hurriedly replied, "The latest of them will be able to arrive by 5:00 a.m. today! I suggest that we hold the Major Federation Union meeting tomorrow afternoon."
Cold Moon understood the situation and knew how urgent it was.
Otherwise, given the protocol for guests that the Radiance Federation usually had, they would have given these envoy groups a day to rest.
However, given the circumstances, not even the Moon Empress had time to rest. She had not slept in two weeks.
The Moon Empress was already extending the greatest sincerity and honor to these federation envoy groups by waiting for all of them to arrive before starting the Major Federation Union meeting.
"Cold Moon, tell all this to Cicada Song. Tell him to inform the envoy groups to gather in the Radiance Sacred Hall tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.!"
The Moon Empress had been a bundle of worries. But luckily, she received a message from Lin Yuan saying the foundational defenses for the Radiance Federation had been completed.
Lin Yuan had invested heavily by using millions of Land Imps and secret spiritual ingredients from the subterranean world! Through this, he created a miracle that the Moon Empress would never have dared to dream of in the past.
In order to understand Tower Canon's exact timeline of actions, the Moon Empress had sent the Mirror God and God of Fools to contact Tower Canon.
The Mirror God and God of Fools had failed to contact any of the real pages of Tower Canon, like First Page Crimson, but they were able to get in contact with Sixth Page Inverse Growth, who had worked with the Freedom Federation in the past.
The Moon Empress had asked the God of Fools and Mirror God to contact Sixth Page Inverse Growth because she had no other choice, but she ended up receiving unexpected benefits!
Sixth Page Inverse Growth had invited the Mirror God and God of Fools to head to Tower Canon's headquarters two months later to listen in on a strategy meeting. They would also be invited to join Tower Canon then.
This meant Tower Canon would not make any moves within the next two months.
More than a month had passed since the Mirror God and God of Fools had contacted Sixth Page Inverse Growth.
The Moon Empress did not believe that Tower Canon would truly make the Mirror God and God of Fools part of the Eight Pages. If Tower Canon had this intention, they would already have gotten in contact with the Mirror God and God of Fools instead of waiting until now!
It was likely that Tower Canon was trying to eliminate the threats that the Mirror God and God of Fools, who were spirit-fire experts, posed.
Relocating the various federations within a month was a very tight timeline. But if it was handled immediately, a large-scale operation involving Platinum avian-type feys stood a high chance of success!
As long as these federations brought their citizens to the edge of their beaches, they would not have to shoulder the stress of migrations on their own.
Otherwise, even if they were given an entire year, there was no way that the federations could relocate all of their citizens!
Once they moved to the edge of their beaches, the Vast Sea Labyrinth would take over. They would use their Island Whales to transport the citizens to the Radiance Federation's harbor.
The Moon Empress told Lin Yuan this decision so he would have time to prepare.
After the federations had been relocated to the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan could decide whether to combine the five dimensional worlds with the main world.
2630 World Emperor Grade!
Recently, Lin Yuan had been doing all he could to collect spirit qi crystals. Morbius had also absorbed its World Grace during its evolution to Myth Breed. As a result, Lin Yuan possessed an astonishing store of spirit qi crystals.
Since Lin Yuan did not have many opportunities to use these spirit qi crystals, he decided to use some to evolve Green Vine.
Green Vine had already been evolved to Sovereign/Immortal III. It was the strongest combatant Lin Yuan possessed that he had evolved through spirit qi crystals.
Rather than letting the spirit qi crystals sit in storage, it would be better to put them to use.
Feys that had reached Sovereign/Immortal were very foreign to Lin Yuan. He had not yet had the chance to interact with feys of such level.
He did have experts under him who possessed feys of such a level and had helped them to evolve said feys.
However, his method of helping them increase their power involved giving them World Crystals, the Immortal bodies cleansed by the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, as well as pure spirit qi and elemental pearls. All he needed to do was give them these resources, and the experts would know how to evolve their feys themselves.
Lin Yuan knew the Moon Empress had been busy with the Major Federation Union and had not had much time to rest.
The Major Federation Union meeting was going to begin tomorrow, so the Moon Empress would definitely take a good rest today. Lin Yuan did not want to disturb her rest.
Apart from the Moon Empress, Mystic Moon and Cold Moon also knew about the Sovereign/Immortal level. Cold Moon was currently unavailable as she was liaising with the teams from the other federations while Mystic Moon had remained in the Radiant Moon Palace to handle the internal affairs. Hence, Lin Yuan made his call to Mystic Moon.
Mystic Moon was currently instructing the spirit attendants as they helped to check the coronation costume the Moon Empress would be wearing tomorrow.
When Mystic Moon received Lin Yuan's call, a smile broke out on his gruff face.
During the early period, when he had only just become the Moon Empress' disciple, Lin Yuan would occasionally call Mystic Moon to ask him for help.
But ever since Lin Yuan became fully independent, he rarely called Mystic Moon. Mystic Moon made most calls to Lin Yuan.
The important figures of the Radiance Federation now communicated with each other solely through the Thoughts Letter Paper. If this was a critical matter, Lin Yuan would definitely have written to Mystic Moon.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐xt.๐ช๐๐
Now that he was calling, it meant that his question was not urgent.
"Young Lord, the Moon Empress has also prepared clothes for you. Are you really not going to attend the Major Federation Union meeting?"
Lin Yuan had told the Moon Empress with certainty that he would not be attending the Major Federation Union meeting some time ago.
Firstly, he was short on time and could not afford to expend energy on the Major Federation Union meeting. As he needed to take on Tower Canon soon, he had more pressing matters to attend to.
Additionally, he was still too young, and it would be a challenge for him to persuade the masses to follow his lead. After all, he could not go to every federation to prove himself to them.
Furthermore, his goals were no longer contained within the main world but had extended to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
"Uncle Mystic, I really won't attend the Major Federation Union meeting. I am calling to ask you about the changes that can happen to feys during their evolution once they reach High Sovereign/ Immortal."
Mystic Moon was momentarily stunned by this. He did not understand why Lin Yuan, an A-rank spirit qi professional, would need to ask such a question.
Moreover, the Moon Empress usually cleared Lin Yuan's doubts. It would not be appropriate for him to go over her head to answer his question!
But the Moon Empress was currently resting. There was no way that Mystic Moon could disturb her over such a matter.
Yet, he also could not let Lin Yuan's question go unanswered!
After a moment of silence, Mystic Moon began explaining to Lin Yuan seriously, "Young Lord, I'm sure you're familiar with the basics. The Immortal Breed comes before the Eternal Breed. Immortal Breed has levels up to Immortal IX, while the Eternal Breed has levels up to Eternal XII. Beyond Eternal XII lies an empty space known as Above Eternal. However, it's still quite a distance from reaching the birth-horoscope level.
"Once you attain the birth-horoscope level, you can attempt to ignite your spirit fire. This process grants feys an additional exclusive skill as they evolve from Immortal to Eternal, but no new exclusive skills are gained afterward. The only change is the increase in their life rank. Moreover, there are no more defined grades beyond Sovereign X."
Lin Yuan nodded lightly at Mystic Moon's explanation.
The spirit-fire level was considered the peak of the main world. There were many few birth-horoscope experts in the main world, much less spirit-fire ones! Hence, it was understandable there were no more clearly defined grades and qualities above this level for feys.
However, according to how fey grades and qualities were defined, it seemed that Above Eternal, birth-horoscope, and spirit-fire levels were all transitional. This was because the feys would not gain any new abilities or exclusive skills at those levels.
Just as this thought was settling in Lin Yuan's mind, Morbius' voice echoed in Lin Yuan's head. "Partner, you have the right idea. That should be how it works! Based on my examination of Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor, who are Afterlife Realm Dictators, I learned that lifeforms who surpass the spirit-fire level will be able to gain new abilities and exclusive skills!
"If my memory is right, breaking through High Sovereign will lead to World Emperor. However, the divine kingdoms of feys and dimensional lifeforms are very different from yours."
Lin Yuan had not been shocked by what Mystic Moon said, but Morbius' words caused his heart to begin hammering in his chest.
It was likely that the World Emperor grade and divine-kingdom level referred to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Lin Yuan carefully made a note of these terms.
Lin Yuan was very curious to see the extent to which Green Vine could evolve given his current store of spirit qi crystals, and if it could break through to the World Emperor and the divine kingdom!
Lin Yuan only needed one fey whose quality had reached the divine-kingdom level, and he could gain an accurate understanding of a regular divine kingdom! He would find out just how it differed from his own divine kingdom that had formed from the shrine in his soul!
Mystic Moon's description was detailed. He sincerely tried to teach Lin Yuan, and it gave Lin Yuan an understanding of the levels above Immortal Breed.
After the phone call ended, Lin Yuan used Node Transportation to transport to the location where Morbius had evolved to Myth Breed. He intended to evolve Green Vine there.
Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor were Afterlife Realm Dictators, making them the equivalent of feys who had reached World Emperor and the divine-kingdom level. With them around, there was no need for Lin Yuan to worry about Green Vine's evolution.
Green Vine preferred to stay in fey form rather than human form. It differed from the Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer in this aspect.
Unless it had to be in human form for convenience's sake while it accompanied Lin Yuan, Green Vine preferred to remain elegantly rooted to the ground, swaying its vines around. Its different vines would crisscross, forming abstract shapes.
This caused Lin Yuan to wonder whether Green Vine, who had the appearance of a pretty woman, was actually an old woman with skewed tastes!
Ever since it could think independently, Green Vine never had to be concerned about its evolutions and could rely fully on Lin Yuan to supply the resources. Thus, it was not as enthusiastic and motivated about evolving as other feys. It was similar to a child who had been fed delicacies all its life and so was not excited by delicious food.
Lin Yuan reached out and touched Green Vine's vines, and it reciprocated by wrapping its vines around him before lifting him up.
This would come across to anyone else as though a tentacle beast was hunting its prey. But to Lin Yuan, this was the most basic form of interaction between him and Green Vine.
Lin Yuan exasperatedly patted Green Vine's vine and said, "Okay, enough playing! I'm here to evolve your grade. I want to see how far you can go! From now on and for a long time, you will be the strongest of all my feys, so you will have to handle all combat- related matters!"
Green Vine obediently set Lin Yuan back down on the ground as it said with fiery passion burning in its eyes, "Don't worry, Yuan. Leave all the combat to me! I will do my best to increase my power and protect you!"
Lin Yuan did not respond.
He did not need Green Vine to protect him but did not mind letting Green Vine continue thinking this. Only with such a mindset would Green Vine be filled with a sense of responsibility and work harder at increasing its power!
Lin Yuan felt that despite reaching High Sovereign/Immortal, Green Vine was still a greenhorn who had yet to experience any obstacles.
He intended to use this impending disaster involving dead spirits to properly train Green Vine.
The spirit qi crystals were all placed inside custom Diamond fey storage boxes. All of the custom Diamond fey storage boxes that Lin Yuan had were in the shape of rings. This made them very convenient to carry around.
Lin Yuan took out all of the Diamond fey storage boxes as he readied himself to feed them all to Green Vine during its evolution.
Many spirit qi professionals in Thick Soil City were still waiting to increase their power. If Lin Yuan made a trip back to Thick Soil City, he could top up his store of spirit qi crystals.
When the federations of the main world were all gathered in the Radiance Federation, those experts would become the 'garden' from which Lin Yuan could harvest spirit qi crystals.
Lin Yuan had plenty of ways to obtain spirit qi crystals. Thus, he did not need to worry he would be left without a way of replenishing his store of spirit qi crystals after using up all that he had on hand.
Green Vine changed into human form while it was absorbing spirit qi crystals.
At that moment, Green Vine's left arm was covered by an armor made of vines while its right leg had transformed into two n0veIfulIbo0k There was a fiercely burning dark gold flame on its left shoulder. Once a fey reached Immortal Breed, the evolution from Immortal I to Immortal IX was meant to transform their bodies from human to humanoid forms. The objective was to blend fey features perfectly with the human form so they could wield their strongest attacks, even in humanoid form.
The body would have to go through nine transformations before reaching Immortal IX. This tempering process was excruciating for any fey.
Green Vine had reached Immortal III, and its body had already been tempered twice.
Perhaps it was due to having absorbed five of the dark gold scales that caused its body to be enveloped by dark gold flames that emanated the aura of annihilation, but Green Vine did not experience any pain during its Immortal transformations and overcame them with ease.
Green Vine's Immortal body became increasingly lustrous as the sacred fire burned. The Immortal body also intensified in color as Green Vine's power increased.
The High Sovereign II Green Vine evolved to High Sovereign X during this process.
According to Mystic Moon, feys would no longer be able to continue evolving past High Sovereign X even if they set their spirit fire alight.
Green Vine's quality also evolved from Immortal III to Immortal IX.
At that moment, Green Vine fully transformed into a human state. When it was Immortal III, Green Vine's humanoid state had looked rather ferocious. But now that it had reached Immortal IX, its Immortal body had attained perfection!
Green Vine was wrapped in an armor of vines, and there was a long dress composed of dark gold flames under the armor.
The vine whip it was holding had eight scars on it, each corresponding to one of the vines' capabilities.
Its dark green hair resembled curly vines that fell to Green Vine's waist. Its hair was its most frightening weapon.
Green Vine's body no longer had any weaknesses now that it had reached Immortal IX.
When he saw Green Vine serenely surveying its changes, Lin Yuan shouted, "Green Vine, I still have many spirit qi crystals! Continue evolving past Eternal! Once you produce the Eternal Heart, you will gain a new exclusive skill. The Eternal Heart will also become your strongest combat method."
According to what Mystic Moon had said, the most lethal move that an Eternal fey could wield was producing its Eternal Heart and using it as an explosive against enemies.
It went without saying that producing the Eternal Heart and using it as an explosive would use up the energy within the Eternal Heart. This would hurt the fey's roots.
Hence, Eternal Breed feys would never produce their Eternal Hearts unless they had been pushed to the brink.
Every Eternal Heart had its own special ability that allowed the fey to transform in a unique way.
Lin Yuan wanted to know what ability Green Vine's Eternal Heart had and how it would transform Green Vine.nรw st๐ries at n๐ ๐
A fey had to cross a gaping distance to evolve from Immortal to Eternal, and it needed to be grilled by its inner demons. If it passed, it could only produce its Eternal Heart from its Immortal body.
When Immortal feys were tempered by sacred fire, they caused significant commotion. On the other hand, being grilled by their inner demons did not cause any commotion at all.
From the outside, with their eyes closed, they looked as though they were dreaming. But in actuality, being grilled by their inner demons was extremely perilous!
If they could not handle being grilled by their inner demons, their minds would become corroded, and they would devolve into lunatics.
2631 Exclusive Skill: Vine Tempering Garrotte!
Fortunately, most feys at that level had strong spirit qi professionals accompanying them. These professionals helped the feys endure the challenging ordeal posed by their inner demons. Consequently, over half of the feys who underwent this grueling confrontation with their inner demons managed to advance successfully to the Eternal Breed.
However, the situation was quite different for wild feys, who lacked contracts with spirit qi professionals. Their likelihood of successfully transitioning from the Immortal Breed to the Eternal Breed was less than 10%!
Lin Yuan had readied himself to assist Green Vine during its inner demons' trial. When feys reached the Eternal stage, they became unable to handle the evolution trials on their own.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Green Vine composed itself and began absorbing the spirit qi crystals. It sensed the security of its evolution toward the Eternal stage and the imminent transformation of its life rank. This was indeed a prime opportunity for it to augment its power.
While engrossed in absorbing the spirit qi crystals, Green Vine suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of power welling up within it. This burgeoning power brought along a multitude of thoughts and desires.
Simultaneously, Lin Yuan grappled with these very thoughts and desires, undergoing an experience mirroring Green Vine's.
A long tug of war against Green Vine's inner demons thus began!
With Lin Yuan's help, Green Vine managed to emerge victorious in the tug of war and successfully evolved to Eternal. It was now a true Eternal Breed fey.
Green Vine should be considered Eternal I now.
Lin Yuan did not have the time to check the new exclusive skill that Green Vine gained after evolving to Eternal as he quickly moved on to help it with its second battle against its inner demons.
Now that they had already experienced it once, Lin Yuan and Green Vine both had an easier time during the second grilling by inner demons.
Green Vine's path had been relatively simple thus far. Hence, its inner demons were all rather mild.
Nonetheless, after taking on 12 waves of attacks from the inner demons, Lin Yuan and Green Vine were psychologically exhausted, especially Lin Yuan, an A-rank spirit qi professional.
Green Vine's body had become its Eternal Heart, which was able to help defend against the inner demons.
Luckily, after Green Vine produced the Eternal Heart, the burden that Lin Yuan needed to shoulder decreased substantially.
The evolved Perfect Touch Wisteria went over to Lin Yuan's side and did not hesitate to place its inky green Eternal Heart in his hands. It was just like a child who was happily showing off its perfect test score to its parent.
When Lin Yuan held up Green Vine's Eternal Heart, he saw that it resembled a dark green phantom quartz. The image of Green Vine's original body could be seen within the crystal.
Green Vine said seriously, "Yuan, my Eternal Heart's ability is Accommodation. It can be triggered in many different forms during battle. When I'm under attack, I can try accommodating the energy within the target's attack and absorb it to replenish myself.
"My Eternal Heart will then analyze the target. The more energy I accommodate, the better understanding I will have of the target and the easier it will be for me to find a way to counter the target!"nรw st๐ries at n๐ ๐
Lin Yuan nodded lightly.
It appeared to be very simple if that was all there was to Green Vine's Eternal Heart ability. Yet, it was not ordinary in the slightest.
It was actually the opposite in that it could even bring a powerful enemy to its knees. It was also possible for Accommodation to fully analyze a target after absorbing its energy, turning the tables of the battle.
Furthermore, Green Vine's abilities mostly came from the abilities it gained from absorbing the eight entities.
Lin Yuan only chose the best options to fill these eight spots. Thus, it was very unlikely they would have overlapping properties as powerful entities usually had unique abilities that could not be replicated.
Examples would be the dark gold snake scales, faerie blood, and High Sovereign metals. All of them had completely different abilities.
Hence, if the Eternal Heart's ability could only benefit a small number of entities, it would not be as useful as Accommodation, which could affect anything it came into contact with!
Lin Yuan returned the Eternal Heart to Green Vine.
Looking at Green Vine, he felt a strange feeling come over him.
Lin Yuan's power had never been linked to his spirit qi professional rank. His power came from him using special methods to take control of other experts and make them submit to him.
But now, he was a spirit qi professional who had only recently reached A-rank but possessed a High Sovereign X/Eternal XII fey.
No one would believe that this was true if he told him about this!
Lin Yuan had only been a spirit qi professional for two years.
However, there were no shortcuts to increasing one's spirit qi professional rank.
Lin Yuan could only stay the course and increase his power as he waited for the Sleeper's Revival plan to begin and the dead spirits to rise up.
The battle against the dead spirits would be a long and drawn-out one.
During this time, Lin Yuan would definitely be able to raise his spirit qi professional rank.
As the war progressed, the alien and demon insects would be able to develop and grow.
Lin Yuan would also be able to use this time to build up the resources in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, so he would not have to worry about his supply of resources once he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds!
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Green Vine, which was now his highest-graded fey.
[Fey Name: Perfect Touch Wisteria
[Fey Species: Strong armor wisteria species/long wisteria species
[Fey Grade: High Sovereign (10/10)
[Fey Type: Wood
[Fey Quality: Eternal XII
Abilities:
[Forbidden Growth: After contracting any lifeform, it can break the limit that comes with the contract. As long as it has sufficient energy, it will be able to continuously increase its power. When it has absorbed the maximum amount of energy, it will be able to comprehend a required Willpower Rune.
[Peak Sturdiness: A large amount of the absorbed energy can be used up to increase the durability of the vines. When injured, the energy can also be used to repair the vines.
[Long Vine Application: Choose two vines that will be applied to one vine. The vine with the two vines applied on it will be able to gain the two vines' abilities.
[Paralysizing Vine Sap: When damage is sustained, the vine sap with paralyzing effects can be sprayed out from the wound.
[Brutally Pushing Out of Soil: When faced with the opponent's defenses, the seeds' sprouting strength can be activated to help break past the opponent's defenses.
[Root's Parasitic Restraints: Pick a target, and the target's body will become soil where roots will grow. The roots will absorb the target's vitality to cause harm to the target.
[Splitting Illusionary Spikes: When the illusionary spikes pierce a target's body, the illusionary spikes will turn into a seed that will germinate in the target's body and produce even more illusionary spikes.
[Avoidance Wedge: Every time Green Vine is injured, a wedge will grow over its surface. Every three layers will turn into a sharp spike that will be able to increase the vines' effects while boosting them.
[Combined Vines Defense: Pick a target to apply to and help it to defend against external attacks. Green Vine's own vitality will be sacrificed to protect the target it is applied to.
Exclusive Skill:
[Swallow Same Source: Every vine will have the same grade and quality, but they can be separated to act as individual entities. Every vine can consume something and take control of its attributes. The swallowed entity cannot be spat out, but an even higher level item can replace it. (Once it gains attributes, the vine cannot be separated again.)
[Broken Vine Replacement: When a vine is destroyed during combat, another vine can be picked to take on the damage instead to save the first vine.
[Energy Gather Illusionary Thorn: The energy within the vines can be gathered at a certain spot. An illusionary thorn comprised of energy will sprout from this spot. The illusionary thorn will be undetectable.
[Tactile Vine Wood World: All of the wood-type energy and vitality stored within the vines will be released. The wood-type energy and vitality will transform into a large number of vines. The vines will intertwine and form a world of vines. The main body will fuse with this world to attack targets. Before the wooden world is broken, all the damage sustained by the main body will be reduced and shouldered by the wooden world.
[Entire Body Medium: Sacrifice the item that the vine had absorbed and release the source of the item through a medium. The released source will not have any knowledge but will possess all of its original power. (Compare the proportion of energy that the source comprises of within the item to determine how long the released source will be able to remain outside.)
[Vine Tempering Garrotte: Use the long vines to garrotte other lifeforms. If the target's bloodline is more elite than that of Green Vine, Green Vine can absorb the target's bloodline to strengthen its own bloodline. This will also strengthen every vine that has absorbed an entity through Swallow Same Source.
Lin Yuan observed that Green Vine had acquired a new exclusive skill named Vine Tempering Garrotte. This skill would allow Green Vine to absorb the bloodline of a stronger target and use it to fortify its own bloodline. This unique ability would lead to a gradual enhancement of Green Vine's bloodline.
Until now, Green Vine's bloodline had remained unchanged, proving inferior to the bloodlines of numerous other Eternal Breed feys. It lacked the capacity to reinforce its bloodline by assimilating entities through its own bloodline.
However, a solution had finally emerged, providing a means to strengthen its bloodline effectively.
Additionally, it seemed that this method of enhancing its bloodline had no apparent limitations. As long as Green Vine didn't reach the pinnacle of its bloodline, there would always be room for growth.
Vine Tempering Garrotte bore a striking resemblance to Green Vine's Eternal Heart ability. Both involved augmenting the bloodline by absorbing another's bloodline, but Vine Tempering Garrotte had a more ambitious undertone compared to Accommodation.
While Green Vine only alluded to utilizing Accommodation defensively during disadvantaged situations, Vine Tempering Garrotte seemed to carry a more avaricious implication.
After using Vine Tempering Garrotte to strengthen its bloodline, every one of Green Vine's vines would be boosted.
There were not many feys with powerful bloodlines in the main world that Green Vine could hunt down. Most feys with powerful bloodlines were linked to spirit qi professionals from powerful factions.
It would not be convenient for Lin Yuan to evolve Green Vine's bloodline. Once he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, where lifeforms with elite bloodlines lived, Green Vine's bloodline could be evolved immediately!
As he looked over his remaining spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan realized that Green Vine had used less than 10% of his store of spirit qi crystals to evolve to High Sovereign X/Eternal XII.
Although most of Morbius' World Grace had gone to evolving the Spirit Lock spatial zone and splitting its body, Lin Yuan still ended up accumulating a significant amount of spirit qi crystals!
Lin Yuan was very curious to find out if the spirit qi crystals could help Green Vine reach World Emperor and the divine-kingdom level.
Lin Yuan asked seriously, "Green Vine, how is your condition now? Are you able to continue evolving your grade, or do you need to rest for a while first?"
Green Vine shook its head. "I can continue evolving now without any issues. If I reach that gate, I will let you know immediately and won't insist on continuing to evolve!"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "If that's the case, you can continue absorbing spirit qi crystals!"
Green Vine immediately started absorbing spirit qi crystals again.
Lin Yuan learned from his communication with Mystic Moon that Above Eternal, the birth-horoscope, and spirit-fire levels did not come with new abilities or exclusive skills. Thus, they were still considered within the rage of Eternal XII.
This was akin to the detailed categories within a large segment.
โฆ
While Green Vine absorbed spirit qi crystals, the Major Federation Union meeting continued for half a day.
In the Radiance Sacred Hall, leaders of various federations wore serious expressions as they grappled with the news revealed by the Moon Empress.
They struggled to believe her words. The main world appeared tranquil, but lurking in the darkness was a terrifying danger.
Tower Canon wasn't unfamiliar to federations with Class 5 Creation Masters. However, factions with only Class 4 Creation Masters were clueless about it. This unheard-of organization was plotting to upend the entire main world, ushering in a new era.
These federation leaders were horrified by this plan and unsure how to address the issue. They felt powerless in the face of this crisis. Could they survive such a dire threat?
If victory seemed unattainable, the purpose of establishing the Major Federation Union came into question.
2632 What is the Moon Empress Doing?
No one would be able to place an exact number on how many lives had been lost from the first to fifth epochs. Every inch of land in the main world had been the final resting spot of billions of lifeforms.
Humans were akin to a dim light that passed from epoch to epoch. Many dominant lifeforms had ended up extinct in the previous epochs.
It could be said that even the Freedom Federation and Azure Federation were depressed by this news, especially the Mirror God and God of Fools.
Both of them had worked with Tower Canon many times. It turned out that they had unknowingly aided in such a treacherous and amoral scheme!
The Mirror God and God of Fools looked at the Moon Empress, as well as the other members of the Radiance Federation's royalty by her side.
Could it be that she had the means to take on such a disaster?
Both of them had already become loyal to her. Although they had not made their stances clear, they and the other members of the Freedom Federation's royalty were all under the Moon Empress' control.
The Radiance Federation could control the marsh world and make all the Samsara Realm Dictators submit to them. This was enough to prove the Radiance Federation's formidable power.
However, the Samsara Realm Dictators would not be enough to fend off this disaster. The Samsara Realm Dictators could protect themselves, but not the regular people living in the federations. There was no way that the Moon Empress was unaware of that!
Nonetheless, the Moon Empress still held the Major Federation Union meeting. This meant that she already had a way to solve the issue.
The Mirror God and God of Fools were in disbelief. They had no idea what the Moon Empress could be planning.
The Moon Empress' words caused the atmosphere to plunge into one of despair, and all the federation representatives lost hope.
If the Moon Empress wanted to establish the Radiance Federation's position as the leader, she would have to give the other federations hope.
Thus, the Moon Empress' next move would definitely be to reveal the Radiance Federation's secret weapon.
The Mirror God and God of Fools were interested to see what the Moon Empress had up her sleeve!
They could use this opportunity to learn just how much power the Radiance Federation had accumulated all this time and how large the gap between their federations was.
Many federation representatives were shocked that the Spirit Mother had personally led the envoy team to the Radiance Federation.
The Spirit Mother Federation was the most closed-off of all the Class 5 Creation Master federations and rarely interacted with the outside world. They were often absent at Major Federation Meetings as well!
There was not much honor attached to the Spirit Mother Federation itself. Anything that could be considered a sense of honor had been used to safeguard the Spirit Mother's position.
Yet, the Spirit Mother, who did not even attend the Major Federation Meetings, had chosen to participate in the Major Federation Union meeting headed by the Radiance Federation.
This seemed bizarre to the majority of federations.
The Spirit Mother was currently observing the Moon Empress. He felt her strength yet recognized her as a birth horoscope expert. She remained less powerful than the secret faction's assigned expert, who was accompanying and protecting Bu Po.
The Moon Empress was one of the Radiance Federation's most famous experts and had achieved impressive results during a Major Federation Meeting many years ago. It was also then that the Radiance Federation became the champion of the Major Federation Meeting for the first time.
An expert who had grown to power in such an exposed manner would not be able to hide her power to a significant extent.
Thus, the Spirit Mother could immediately be certain that the faction behind Bu Po was linked to the Moon Empress, but the link was not strong!
This made the Spirit Mother rather doubtful.
Given the Spirit Mother's understanding of the Radiance Federation, there was no way that a secret faction was controlling the Radiance Federation.
The Radiance Federation's members of royalty were strong-headed, and the federation's development in recent years had been eye-catchingly obvious.
If a faction was controlling the Radiance Federation and trying to bleed them out, there was no way the faction would have invested so many resources to develop and strengthen the federation in the first place!
But the Spirit Mother would find it strange if the faction had been borne out of the Radiance Federation.
At that moment, the Spirit Mother had the exact same thinking as the Mirror God and God of Fools. He was also waiting to hear what the Moon Empress said next.
Luo Lan, Jin Qianxun, and Yi Huailong were the rulers of the Startling Lines Continent's three federations, and they had been assigned seats that were next to each other.
The three of them were well-acquainted with each other and had been communicating often through the Thoughts Letter Paper during the past year.
Since Yi Huailong and Jin Qianxun knew that Luo Lan was on slightly closer terms with Lin Yuan, they sought her opinion in numerous matters despite the three of them technically being rivals.
The trio knew that the Moon Empress was Lin Yuan's masterโhis status became clear once they arrived in the Radiance Federation. Thus, they were filled with curiosity toward the Moon Empress. Just what kind of person had managed to teach and produce such an outstanding disciple?
Due to being the ruler of both the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent, Su Yiren had a higher status than the Spirit Mother.
Lin Yuan had sent Di Wanmi, a Class 5 Creation Master, as well as many Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, to Su Yiren.
Su Yiren possessed enough strength and resources to befit her status and handle her responsibilities.
When she saw that the representatives from the Azure Federation had yet to recover from their shock and that the Freedom Federation seemed to have no intention of asking questions,
Su Yiren pressed on her microphone and waited for three seconds before she asked, "I'm sure the first Major Federation Union meeting is not only meant to be a question-answering session. It is more important that we use this time to solve problems.
"So, Lordess Moon Empress, if you have any ideas, please guide us in the right direction that will give our millions of citizens the best chance of surviving the disaster of dead spirits!"
Su Yiren had intentionally addressed the Moon Empress as 'Lordess'.
As the ruler of a federation, Su Yiren held equal standing with the Moon Empress at this meeting. As such, she did not need to address the Moon Empress that way!
Su Yiren had done so because the Moon Empress was Lin Yuan's master. Out of respect for Lin Yuan, Su Yiren had to give the Moon Empress the proper respect as well.
From their previous interactions, Su Yiren sensed Lin Yuan's respect for the Moon Empress.
By addressing the Moon Empress in such a way, she was also setting an example for the other federation rulers. Now, they would also know how to address the Moon Empress when they spoke.
When Su Yiren spoke, the Moon Empress smiled at her. She had heard Lin Yuan mention Su Yiren more than once.
Su Yiren was very important in Lin Yuan's plans for Sky City. Although she was not as important as Wen Yu, she was still considered part of Sky City's backbone, second only to Wen Yu and Liu Jie.
Lin Yuan mainly appreciated Su Yiren's abilities.
Lin Yuan's sights had always been set beyond the main world. Given Su Yiren's impressive capabilities, he would likely take her to the new world.
While Su Yiren was observing the Moon Empress, the latter was doing the same to Su Yiren.
The Moon Empress had never spoken to Su Yiren in the past. But from what Su Yiren said, it meant that she understood the Moon Empress' intentions.
The Moon Empress' words were like an opening line, while Su Yiren's question had captured the attention of the other federation representatives.
Many federation representatives echoed Su Yiren and hoped the Moon Empress could provide a way to overcome this crisis.
These federation representatives cursed Tower Canon more than once.
Just how much did this organization hate the world? Why did they have to bring forth such a disaster all of a sudden?
Furthermore, the Freedom Federation had worked with Tower Canon numerous times in the past. Could they be linked to Tower Canon's schemes as well?Checkk new ๐ovel ch๐pters at nov๐
At that moment, the federation representatives could not be bothered to fear the Mirror God and God of Fools and began glaring at them.
If anyone looked at them in this way in the past, the Mirror God and God of Fools would have already lost their tempers. But they knew they did not have the right to fly into a rage before the Moon Empress.
Tower Canon had given the Freedom Federation two special precious instruments during a previous trade. They had said the precious instrument could gather death aura and asked them to collect all the death aura from the Freedom Federation.
The Mirror God and God of Fools had agreed without thinking too much about it.
It would benefit a federation greatly to have all of its death aura sucked out from it, as it would only help the federation to thrive. The growth of plants would be significantly improved!
At that time, neither the Mirror God nor God of Fools had asked why Tower Canon wanted to collect such a large amount of death aura.
The death aura the Freedom Federation had absorbed using the precious instrument had to have been an important step in the process of the Sleeper's Revival plan.
Although the Mirror God and God of Fools always prioritized their own profits, they would not have traded with Tower Canon and would have even tried to put a stop to their plan if they had been aware of it in advance!
The Moon Empress waited for around a minute until she had the full attention of every federation representative present before she took out a sample of the metal-type stone board that Lin Yuan had given her. She placed the 50-centimeter-thick stone boards on the table in front of her and formed a small, sharp tower.
"This is a 50-centimeter-thick sample. There are more than 30 rocks within this stone board. Some of these rocks are intentionally meant to keep out dark souls like dead spirits. They are also very durable. Only dead spirits with Eternal power will be able to break through the metal-type stone boards. All dead spirits weaker than that will be kept below these boards!
"Aside from these rocks, the metal-type stone boards also contain more than 40 types of mesh metals. The mesh metals were packed tightly together. They cannot only keep death aura out but also have spatial-stabilizing properties!" the Moon Empress declared.
The Moon Empress said nothing else after describing the metal-type stone boards. She waited for the federation representatives to ask her questions about them.
A person's will to fight could fade quickly, but confidence took a long time to build up.
Due to Tower Canon's plan, the federation representatives had already lost all their confidence.
The Moon Empress wanted to help these people to build their confidence back up. As such, she could not be overly anxious.
The federation representatives stared at the sharp tower made of the metal-type stone boards. They found it hard to believe that this was being used as a building material.
One could only imagine the implications for a board like this that could block out dead spirits!
Creating the ingredients needed for this board was one matter, while putting it all together was another matter altogether. There was resource cost and time to consider.
Furthermore, there was no way to lay down all of them. Before the disaster of dead spirits began, there might not even be time to lay down all the boards to cover a small town!
What was the Moon Empress doing? How could she only begin thinking of building a dam now when the flood was almost upon them?
The Cleaning Burning Federation's Duke Sparrow had been acquainted with the Moon Empress for a long time. There was no way she would scramble in the face of a crisis!
The other members of royalty would never agree if she was making the decision in such a condition.
However, Duke Sparrow still voiced his doubts. "Moon Empress, I don't think boards like this are a practical solution. But if you need similar minerals and metal resources, the Cleaning Burning Federation is willing to supply them to the Radiance Federation for free!"
Duke Sparrow had not forgotten to extend an arm of friendship to the Radiance Federation while voicing his doubts.
After the first voice of doubt was raised, others quickly joined in. After all, they all believed there was no point in the Moon Empress bringing up this board now!
Even if 100,000 Spirit Craftsmen were given a month, they would not even be able to cover 2,000 square feet of space!
Regular Spirit Craftsmen would not be able to cut such materials that could block out feys that were Eternal and below, much less use them to form mesh structures!
The Moon Empress did not look displeased by the doubts. She had also brought up the same doubts when she first saw the stone boards. However, Lin Yuan had given her a shocking explanation that completely opened up her mind.
After all the federation representatives were done voicing their doubts, the Moon Empress raised her hand and stored the samples away before she said, "It's very difficult to build these stone boards, and it takes a lot of finesse. However, the Radiance Federation is already fully covered by these boards. As long as no dead spirits above Eternal power appear, the Radiance Federation's citizens will be safe!"
The Moon Empress' words were like a tsunami sweeping everyone present.
Everyone, including the Mirror God and God of Fools, looked astonished. Even Su Yiren had not expected things to have progressed so swiftly!
Su Yiren suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if she were suspended in an unfamiliar emotion.
In the past, she always stayed updated about everything by Lin Yuan's side.
Lately, her focus had been entirely on managing the Dark Continent. Her dream was to restore the Dark Continent's glory and bring it back to the Seven States of Darkness.
However, the Dark Continent wasn't part of Lin Yuan's goals or plans. Lin Yuan respected her aspirations and determination, generously providing her with ample resources.
Yet, if she continued confining her ambitions to the Dark Continent, she would eventually find herself excluded from Sky City's inner circle, no matter how much Lin Yuan acknowledged her skills.
In an instant, Su Yiren felt like she had emerged from being submerged underwater, breaking through to the surface.
2633 Beginning of All the Federations' Migration!
She had no reason to insist on only remaining as the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent's ruler.
There might be a deeper meaning to Lin Yuan placing Di Wanmi by her side!
At that moment, Su Yiren suddenly pivoted her ambition to only hoping that the Dark Continent could prosper and thrive while she remained by Lin Yuan's side.
This was firstly because Su Yiren looked forward to seeing the beautiful world beyond the main world.
But it was also because the rewards and protection she could obtain by remaining by Lin Yuan's side would be the best way to bring prosperity to the Sand Island Continent and Dark Continent!
There was no one who was without selfish desires.
Su Yiren had contracted the Absolute Love Poppy, and it allowed her to have a deeper-than-normal understanding of human nature.
Su Yiren never suppressed or went against the expression of human nature.
This was why she knew that she needed to be more grateful for her current position.
She had been going in the wrong direction all this time. She intended to get in contact with Lin Yuan once the Major Federation Union meeting was over.
From now on, Su Yiren intended to pivot away from trying to develop the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent to only try to nurture them properly.
The crisis of dead spirits would cause the entire main world to change, and all the major factions would be reshuffled.
Given that the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent were directly under Lin Yuan's control, they would definitely be able to develop better than the other continents. The development of the Startling Lines Continent had proved that.
While Su Yiren was deep in thought, the other heads of federations were still all shocked by what the Moon Empress said.
But they knew there was no way the Moon Empress was lying. She would never lie at such a moment just to appease the crowd because such a lie could be exposed extremely easily!
The federation representatives all held their breaths as they waited for the Moon Empress to continue speaking.
"I don't know when Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan will exactly begin, but according to the information we've obtained, it should be within the next month! The situation is of the highest urgency, and I took out the metal-type stone board to show that the Radiance Federation is prepared and to give you confidence."
Before the Moon Empress could finish speaking, the atmosphere of the meeting became chaotic.
Everyone was fixated on the first part of what the Moon Empress said.
The Sleeper's Revival would begin in the next month or two. This did not give them enough time to prepare at all!
Everyone present could tell that the Moon Empress wanted the major federations to relocate nearer to the Radiance Federation.
Ignoring the fact that they would forsake their historical roots, the key issue was that they couldn't finish the migration within just a month or two, even if they wished to.
A sense of hopelessness descended on the federation representatives.
The Moon Empress had expected such a reaction from her words. She coughed and knocked on the table. This attracted the attention of all the federation representatives, and the Moon Empress said solemnly, "I wanted to establish the Major Federation Union because of my goal to safeguard the authority of every human federation. The creed of the Major Federation Union is to not bow or give up in the face of a crisis.
"After the meeting, every federation will receive a marked-out position. All you need to do is move your citizens to that position, and Island Whales will appear to take you to the vicinity of the Radiance Federation!
"This is an early gesture of sincerity of the Radiance Federation to show our thanks for your hard work and tenacity during the process of this crisis!"
The Moon Empress' words altered the atmosphere of hopelessness.
If the Moon Empress' words were true, the migration would be possible.
But just how many Island Whales were necessary to achieve this? Did the Radiance Federation have so many Island Whales at their disposal?
As one of the three major federations, the Radiance Federation was extremely powerful. This was unquestionable.
Nonetheless, dispatching 10,000 Island Whales at once was unbelievable!
But any less and there would not be enough to handle the migration.
The federation representatives had their suspicions, but none of them dared to doubt the Moon Empress' words now.
The Radiance Federation's formidability had been cemented. There was no need for them to cooperate with the Freedom Federation and Azure Federation. It was already the core of the Major Federation Union!
The Moon Empress also noticed this. She knew she did not need to continue bolstering support for the Radiance Federation.
Thus, she decided to give these federation representatives some confidence. "I want to ask all of you a question. Do you know of the faction that controls the sea clans?"
The Moon Empress' question caused the federation representatives to begin novelbin.c.๐m for updates
The powerful federations had the right to interact and trade with sea clans, but the federations without Class 5 Creation Masters dared not approach the sea.
Many federations had Class 4 Creation Masters who did their best to build up their fleets and nurture Island Whales in the hopes of trading with other federations, only to fail.
The humans in the sea had to encounter much more danger than the humans on land.
The Eight Clans of Sea Emperors sent expert after expert to take control of different parts of the sea.
But since the Moon Empress asked this question, it meant that the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors were not the true rulers of the sea.
The Moon Empress' question blindsided many federation representatives. There were still many federation representatives who used the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors as their answer.
Those who did know who the true ruler of the sea was instinctively looked at the Mirror God and God of Fools, as well as the two leaders of aristocratic families from the Azure Federation. These four were the only ones present who could answer the Moon Empress' question best.
The Mirror God and God of Fools represented the Freedom Federation and had succumbed to the Radiance Federation, putting them under the Moon Empress' control. But this did not mean they had lost all of their previous scheming intentions.
When the Mirror God and God of Fools addressed the Azure Federation, they continued acting as arrogant as they always did.
After meeting eyes with the Mirror God and God of Fools, the two heads of families from the Azure Federation looked away.
It was then that the Mirror God said, "The true ruler of the seas is the Vast Sea Labyrinth."
At first, the Mirror God also wanted to mention that the Moon Empress could only allocate so many of the Island Whales because of the Vast Sea Labyrinth. But he eventually decided to keep his mouth shut and supplied no more information besides the answer to the Moon Empress' question.
Now that their positions had changed, the Mirror God knew to stay meek. This applied to the God of Fools as well. The two of them could not afford to go against the oath they had sworn to the Moon Empress. Moreover, after they swore their oath, the Moon Empress now controlled their souls. The two of them were completely helpless against her.
Although the two of them were members of royalty in name, they were actually no different from the Moon Empress' servants.
But luckily, they still had their power. There was a lot that they would be able to do during the impending disaster on the main world. During the long war against the dead spirits, the two of them would have the chance to change the way that the Moon Empress saw them.
After hearing the Mirror God's response, the federation representatives who had never heard of the Vast Sea Labyrinth before made a note of that name. They were all wondering why the Moon Empress had asked such a question!
The Moon Empress took over the conversation and said, "That's right. The Vast Sea Labyrinth is the ruler of the seas! The Vast Sea Labyrinth will gather all the Island Whales in the sea and use them to migrate the federations' citizens. Other oceanic feys can also be used as transport tools.
"No one will be left behind if you can arrive at the marked-out position. This is a strategy that the Radiance Federation has already discussed with the Vast Sea Labyrinth. They have given us their assurance!"
The Moon Empress' words gave all the factions renewed confidence.
They all felt indebted to the Radiance Federation now as well.
The Freedom Federation had previously worked with Tower Canon to try to eliminate the human race. On the other hand, the Radiance Federation and Vast Sea Labyrinth were working together for the sake of the entire human race. What a difference this was!
Many federation representatives began expressing their gratitude to the Moon Empress.
The Moon Empress did not give them much time to express their thanks. She slammed her hand down on the table and said sternly, "Usually, we would be distributing the responsibilities of the Major Federation Union now. But it's clear that no one will be able to focus on this now. Why don't we do a cursory delegation of responsibilities for now? Go back and send out the news so you can make the preparations for the migration."
Once the Moon Empress was done speaking, she instructed the two servants at the door to open it as a sign the federation experts could leave now.
The Moon Empress' action once again won over the respect of the federation experts. Many matters should be discussed during the first Major Federation Union meeting, but it would take at least three days and nights to finish discussing all of them.
But given the emergency at hand, none of the federation experts wanted to waste this time.
If the disaster of dead spirits began earlier than expected, the three days would cost the lives of millions of citizens.
The Radiance Federation's defenses had been fully set up, making them the human federation with the least worries.
Yet, they were still willing to think of the other federations.
Initially, the Moon Empress planned to mention the Heavenly Family Cottage. However, she reconsidered after witnessing the confusion among the federation representatives as the Mirror God referred to the Vast Sea Labyrinth. She realized that federations with only Class 4 Creation Masters, unfamiliar with the Vast Sea Labyrinth, likely wouldn't know about the Heavenly Family Cottage either. So, bringing it up seemed pointless.
Revealing too much to the federations could diminish their caution and lead to unjustified optimism, which wouldn't be favorable.
With a soft sigh, the Moon Empress acknowledged she had already done her best to address this crisis. The outcome now rested on these federations' own abilities.
The two heads of aristocratic families from the Azure Federation present at the Radiance Federation were deliberating on a decision. The question arose: Should they elevate the Radiance Federation's status?
Notably, the Moon Empress hadn't proposed ranking the federations, hinting at her reluctance to establish a hierarchy within the Major Federation Union.
Concluding the meeting swiftly after outlining the impending disaster, the Moon Empress left the heads of aristocratic families feeling ashamed. They realized the Azure Federation wouldn't have made such a choice in the Radiance Federation's position.
Interestingly, these two leaders were the most opposed to placing the Azure Federation under the Radiance Federation.
At this moment, both of their opinions had changed.
The Azure Federation was aware of Vast Sea Labyrinth but had never been able to collaborate with them.
If the situation was as critical as the Moon Empress had described, it would be impossible for the Azure Federation to fend off the disaster by remaining where they currently were. Their only option would be to migrate!
The Azure Federation would also need help from the Vast Sea Labyrinth's Island Whales in order to complete the migration.
These two heads of aristocratic families intended to tell the others about this when they returned so they could make a collective decision.

The Moon Empress immediately felt her tightly wound nerves relax once the Major Federation Union meeting was over.
However, the tasks related to the migration of the federations would be extremely laborious and problematic.
Firstly, the Radiance Federation did not have enough space to house so many citizens from other factions.
Even if they did, the Moon Empress could not allow them to settle down permanently in the Radiance Federation as this would encroach into the rights and resources of the Radiance citizens!
The closest continent to the Radiance Federation was the Startling Lines Continent.
The Startling Lines Continent was under Lin Yuan's control. Given the Moon Empress' understanding of Lin Yuan, she believed he would not be willing to ruin the environment of a continent he had taken over.
The Moon Empress intended to discuss with Lin Yuan where they could settle down these citizens from other federations.
Others saw her as the Radiance Federation's decision-maker, but she needed to consult Lin Yuan when it came to making pivotal decisions.
This was because 90% of the Radiance Federation's strength now came from Lin Yuan.
โฆ
After the Major Federation Union meeting ended, Su Yiren did not stay in the Radiance Federation.
She was now the ruler of the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent. She had her own responsibilities to see through and arrange the migration of the Dark and Sand Island citizens.
While other federations might view the migration negatively, for the Sand Island citizens, it meant moving to a better environment. This would be great news for them!
The sea next to the Dark Continent had numerous harbors, so the migration process would be very simple.
But the Sand Island Continent was not bordered by the sea. The Sand Island citizens would have to move to the neighboring Spirit Mother Federation first before leaving via the Spirit Mother Federation's harbor!
Su Yiren decided to use her relationship with Bu Po to strike up a conversation with the Spirit Mother.
She could meet the Spirit Mother's requests. The Spirit Mother citizens would leave first before the Sand Island citizens.
However, she was worried that the Spirit Mother would try to pull some tricks.
But using her link to Bu Po, her communication with the Spirit Mother would go much more smoothly than if she did not have this connection.
Su Yiren called Lin Yuan before leaving the Radiance Federation.
She was used to communicating with Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper. But this time, she felt that calling would be more formal.
At that moment, Su Yiren felt both clear-headed and nervous. She only hoped that her previous ambitions would not affect the way that Lin Yuan saw her!
2634 The Lifespan Mouse's Development!
It did not take long for the call to connect.
Green Vine had already successfully set its spirit fire alight. Its spirit fire was a dark green one that brimmed with natural exuberance.
When one looked at it, one would get the same feeling as when looking at the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire. However, this spirit fire was actually a lethal killing machine.
Begin Lady used to remain by Lin Yuan and act as his bodyguard. But now, Green Vine was even stronger than Begin Lady!
Green Vine had reached the peak of the spirit-fire level and was only one step away from World Emperor and the divine kingdom.
Frankly, Green Vine had already absorbed sufficient spirit qi to attempt to evolve to World Emperor and the divine kingdom.
However, its level was still not very stable, and it needed some time to stabilize itself. If it forcefully tried to evolve now, it would be very difficult for it to take control of that power.
Once Green Vine had accumulated more strength and its level was stabilized, it could immediately attempt to reach the World Emperor and divine-kingdom level.
Eternal Source, who had been watching from the sideline, was struck by this sight.
His power had come from his slow accumulation, and every step had required an immense amount of effort.
In the beginning, there were even many times he had been in danger of losing his life. If he let his guard down even once or made the wrong call, he might even have ended up decomposed into fertilizer by the marsh world's bacteria.
Meanwhile, Green Vine did not have to experience any risks as Lin Yuan had fully nurtured it from the beginning. Its power had also increased at an exponentially unimaginable rate.
Although there was only a small gap between his and Green Vine's power, Eternal Source was not amazed by its power at all. Rather, he was amazed by Lin Yuan's capabilities.
Lin Yuan was very pleased with Green Vine's evolution.
Based on his communication with Green Vine, it would not need long before it could reach the World Emperor and the divine-kingdom level. Three months would be enough!
Green Vine's power would be very useful against the dead spirits during the war.
Lin Yuan was in a great mood. His tone was also cheerful when he picked up Su Yiren's call.
"Young Master, all of my thoughts recently have surrounded the Dark Continent, and I have completely neglected tasks related to you. I hope to guide Lin Hope and help him grow quickly before I assign a few dependable subordinates to support him!
"Liu Xi of the 14 Poppy Fruits is showing promise in internal governance. All she needs is some time to train, and she'll be able to handle the affairs of both the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent on her own!"
Su Yiren had not overstated her appraisal of Liu Xi just because she was one of the 14 Poppy Fruits.
Liu Xi was the poppy fruit for whom Su Yiren had the highest hopes. Otherwise, she would never keep Liu Xi by her side.
This surprised and slightly frustrated him.
Su Yiren felt she had not been interacting with him often enough recently. She also had not contributed to setting up the Radiance Federation's defenses. As such, she was worried his impression of her had soured.
This Major Federation Union meeting would definitely mention the defenses against the dead spirits. It was likely that this had fuelled Su Yiren's concerns.
In fact, the only members of Sky City who had participated in setting up the defenses were Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Bai Qinghuan, whom Lin Yuan was starting to rely more on. The three of them had been enough to manage the millions of Land Imps and perfectly completed the job. Not even Wen Yu had participated.
As for Lin Hope, whom Su Yiren mentioned, it was true that Lin Yuan had asked Su Yiren to help guide and teach him. However, he did not have any specific standards that he wanted her to meet.
At that time, Lin Yuan had just wanted to promise Lin Hope a better future.
He had saved him because he did not want to see a kind and innocent soul decayed by an environment filled with evil.
If Lin Hope was capable, Lin Yuan did not mind if Su Yiren handed him the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent to manage.
But if Lin Hope did not have such capabilities, he could be supported by capable aides. He did not need to be the sole ruler of the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent.
Su Yiren was very skilled at governance and the second-most capable at it amongst Lin Yuan's subordinates. She was more useful to Sky City than Listen, who excelled more at business.
Lin Yuan would definitely take Su Yiren with him when he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Lin Yuan would have asked her to do this even if she had not decided to shift her focus away from developing the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent. Vissit novelbin.c.๐m for updates
He felt that he needed to give Su Yiren something to assure her. She was very quick at picking things up. She would tie herself up into knots over this matter if she was not assured.
"Yiren, the promise I gave you was genuine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you so many resources or sent Di Wanmi to you. You have invested effort into both the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent. At the very least, you have decreased the mortality rate in the Sand Island Continent.
"Now, make the preparations for the migration. We will have more than enough time to discuss other problems once the disaster of dead spirits breaks out. If my guess is right, this crisis will last centuries! It will be a brilliant victory if we manage to bring an end to this crisis within a millennium!"
Su Yiren pursed her lips when she heard what Lin Yuan said.
She was only finding out Lin Yuan's expectations for the crisis of dead spirits now!
It turned out that he was estimating the war against the dead spirits to last centuries.
To special feys, a millennium was not a very long time. But to humans, ten generations could be born in a millennium.
When Su Yiren found out that Lin Yuan appreciated her talent for governance, she spent most of her time on management and no longer focused on increasing her power.
Su Yiren was not confident she would be able to live to see the war end.
Lin Yuan did not know that Su Yiren had such concerns. The lifespan of a human or all lifeforms was akin to a straight line that started from their birth and ended with their death. This was the cycle of life, and it also applied to Lin Yuan's previous life.
But in this world, besides using the method of increasing one's power to an extremely high level, Lin Yuan could also use the Lifespan Mouse to increase the lifespan of a lifeform.
The second time that Lin Yuan produced the Lifespan Mouse, he discovered that the Flower Branch Mouse with red tails could be bred. However, they would only reproduce after absorbing sufficient spirit qi.
Eventually, it would give birth to Lifespan Mice with orangey-red fur.
Although he did not know how the Flower Branch Mouse with red tails came about, he had proven that their genes did not result from a sudden mutation.
After the past six months, Genius' studies were beginning to show some promise.
Genius noticed that when pure vitality was used to nurture a million Flower Branch Mice, only three to five of them would grow red tails.
It had been a very difficult selection process for Genius, but the number of Lifespan Mice in Lin Yuan's possession had increased nonetheless.
Due to the difficulty of selection and the high standard of vitality required to nurture the young Flower Branch Mice, it was difficult to breed them in bulk. Thus, Lin Yuan's supply was not endless. Still, he could give every white-clothed follower of Sky City a Lifespan Mouse so that they could attain a seemingly endless lifespan!
Besides Sky City's members, Lin Yuan also left some behind that he meant to give to those who were close to him.
Nothing had brought Lin Yuan more joy in the last six months than the gains from studying the Lifespan Mouse.
All the pressure lifted off Su Yiren after her call with Lin Yuan.
"Don't worry, Young Master. I will make sure to do a good job! I will also communicate with the Spirit Mother. I will report to you if something goes wrong during my communication with him! Given my understanding, he is not the easiest to talk to."
Su Yiren had not said this to disparage the Spirit Mother. The Spirit Mother did not mean anything to Lin Yuan.
Su Yiren had said this to Lin Yuan because she was giving him advance notice. This would prevent any issues that possibly cropped up during her communication with the Spirit Mother from affecting the migration. She did not want Lin Yuan to think she only cared about the Dark Continent and was neglecting the Sand Island Continent.
A glint appeared in Lin Yuan's eye.
"You can contact Bu Po about this and communicate with the Spirit Mother through him. If the Spirit Mother can't see sense when it comes to this matter and tries to pull tricks, I will instruct the Samsara Realm Dictator protecting Bu Po to deal with the Spirit Mother. You don't have to worry. Just focus on the migration!"
After speaking to Su Yiren for a while, Lin Yuan hung up and brought Green Vine back to the Return from Faraway Mansion while he returned to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Genius had already informed Hu Quan of all the functions and properties of the spiritual ingredients.
It was easier to come up with the design for a large base than a smaller one. The crux of a large base was its frame, while the key of a small base was the details and beauty.
Once Hu Quan was done drawing the design, he made a comprehensive list of all the materials he would need.
Lin Yuan received the list from Hu Quan and looked it over before he said, "You don't have to trouble Listen to gather these materials. I will give them to you in Diamond fey storage boxes if I have them on hand. All you need to do is use whatever spiritual ingredients you require!
"There are some High Sovereign metal-type spiritual ingredients in there as well. You can ask Genius about their functions. You can also use them in the construction of the base."
Lin Yuan would not dare to say such a thing in the past.
Previously, Lin Yuan needed to use True Data to analyze the High Sovereign metal-type spiritual ingredients before asking Genius to take notes on them.
But now that Genius had the ability True Knowledge Analysis, it could study and learn the spiritual ingredients' properties on its own!
Otherwise, Lin Yuan really would not have the time to tell Hu Quan about all of the spiritual ingredients' functions.
Hu Quan was floored by what Lin Yuan said.
He could use High Sovereign metal-type spiritual ingredients, too?
In Hu Quan's opinion, Suzerain metal-type spiritual ingredients were already considered very precious resources. They could be stocked up as strategic resources in the Radiance Federation.
Hu Quan had not even touched Suzerain metal-type spiritual ingredients many times in his life.
But now, Lin Yuan was allowing him free use of High Sovereign metal-type spiritual ingredients. This was a little too far out of Hu Quan's comfort zone.
But since Lin Yuan had said it, it meant that he had no lack of High Sovereign metal-type spiritual ingredients. Since Lin Yuan had allowed him to use it, he had no reason to say no.
If High Sovereign metal-type spiritual ingredients could be added to the design for the Spirit Lock spatial zone's base, Hu Quan would have to alter his current designs!
Although this would delay the construction, it would improve the result.
Hu Quan was also aware of the imminent crisis.
This disaster would last for an extremely long time. He had plenty of time to slowly carve out the ideal base for the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
If he had a few centuries, he would definitely be able to turn this space that was as large as a small region into an irreplicable divine haven!
Lin Yuan was about to continue discussing the construction of the Spirit Lock spatial zone with Hu Quan when his phone rang.
When he saw the call coming from the Moon Empress, he knew she was done with all that she needed to do.
Hence, he used Node Transportation to travel to the Radiant Moon Palace's inner palace.
Lin Yuan had been bothered by something recently, which was whether to combine the five dimensional worlds with the main world to deal with the disaster of dead spirits.
Lin Yuan was struggling to make a decision for now. He knew that his decision would determine the safety of the main world.
What if, after the main world was promoted from a Class 1 world to Class 2, it would have to undergo a perilous trial just like during fey evolutions?
Since he could not make a decision himself, he decided to ask the Moon Empress for her opinion.
But before he could ask her, the Moon Empress presented him with a difficult problem that had yet to be solved but needed to be!
"Little Yuan, moving so many federations to the Radiance Federation will greatly strain the Radiance Federation. We don't have the space for so many citizens. We are trying to save the whole world, but it shouldn't come at the cost of the Radiance Federation's basic rights!
"If we casually allow citizens of other federations to enter the Radiance Federation, it could lead to some risks, and there will definitely be conflict amongst the factions! But if we don't take them into the Radiance Federation, there isn't anywhere near the Radiance Federation that will be suitable to place them.
"Moreover, all the federations are separated by seas. There will also be countless dead spirits rising from the seas and making their way to the land!"
2635 The Imposing Moon Empress!
Lin Yuan nodded at what the Moon Empress said.
Lin Yuan had already considered the possibility the Moon Empress would be unwilling to allow the citizens of other federations to migrate to the Radiance Federation's territory.
If she allowed the citizens of other federations to move to the Radiance Federation's territory, it would decrease the resources the Radiance Federation's own factions could access.
Given that this was an issue of safety, the Radiance Federation's royalty would eventually decide to drive these people out.
Lin Yuan had realized this long ago. This was why he was hesitating on his decision to combine the main world with the five dimensional worlds.
If there was enough space to settle down the citizens of other federations, there would be nothing for Lin Yuan to worry about!
Lin Yuan's willingness to allow them to settle down in the Startling Lines Continent was not a factor, as the migration would also threaten the continent's safety and affect the way of life there. Additionally, the Startling Lines Continent did not have enough space to house all of the citizens from the other federations.
Lastly, the area of sea between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent was not large, but there would still be an almost endless stream of dead spirits rising up from it and invading the Startling Lines Continent.
Thus, to address this issue, the only solution would be to combine the main world with the five dimensional worlds.
When the Moon Empress saw Lin Yuan nod, she fell silent for a moment before suggesting, "Little Yuan, why don't we get in contact with the Vast Sea Labyrinth and ask them to station people nearby the Radiance Federation?
"We can cover the bottom of the sea with the metal-type stone boards and cover an area as large as five continents around the Radiance Federation. Otherwise, once these federations have relocated only to find there is no suitable place for them to settle, they will definitely argue that it is Radiance Federation's responsibility to find a solution!"
The Moon Empress had come to this difficult decision because she was not aware of the possibility of combining the main world with the dimensional worlds. She saw no other option.
But Lin Yuan felt that it would be difficult to fulfill the Moon Empress' suggestion.
Firstly, it would be difficult to organize this with the Vast Sea Labyrinth. It was a gargantuan faction and managed thousands of times the number of sea clans than there were members in human factions.
Every action the Vast Sea Labyrinth took would cause every clog in the system to move. There was no way several segments could be isolated to work with the Moon Empress.
Once the Vast Sea Labyrinth learned about Tower Canon's plan from the Radiance Federation, they were very willing to work with the Radiance Federation. They did not hesitate before they agreed to help the Radiance Federation with the migration of the other federations' citizens and had arranged to deploy their entire fleet of Island Whales.
The Heavenly Family Cottage was indeed a positive connection, but a larger reason was the wisdom of the Vast Sea Labyrinth's decision-makers.
If the Vast Sea Labyrinth agreed to the humans' request this time, they would be able to ask the humans for a favor in the future.
Lin Yuan intended to be present during future interactions with the Vast Sea Labyrinth so he could make contact with the strongest hidden faction in the sea.
Furthermore, there was no way to lay down the metal-type stone boards in the sea.
However, the Land Imps were all very afraid of water and could not reach the bottom of the sea.
The Radiance Federation could only be covered by metal-type stone boards in a month because millions of Land Imps had worked together to accomplish the task.
Lin Yuan did not intend to leave the Moon Empress hanging. "Master, I need to seek your opinion on something. It could involve unknown dangers that might put the main world at extreme risk. But this would also be able to perfectly solve the problem you just mentioned."
Lin Yuan was about to explain to the Moon Empress in greater detail when she beat him to the punch and said calmly, "Little Yuan, this crisis of dead spirits is already disastrous for the main world. We don't even know if the main world will be able to survive!
"It won't make much of a difference to throw in a few more issues. If the main world ends up encountering other catastrophes, it might affect not just us but the dead spirits as well! Moreover, this might be able to solve our current problem.
"Little Yuan, why are you hesitating?"
Lin Yuan was momentarily stunned by what the Moon Empress said. From this matter, he had gotten a full blast of her imposing side.
The path he had been going down had been too smooth. Thus, Lin Yuan wanted every one of his decisions to only result in the best consequences. He did not want to undertake even a hint of risks.
But the fact was that risks were part of life.
Almost every elder generation of experts had made it this far after overcoming significant risks. They saw it as a tool they could harness.
For example, when they were dealing with carcinoma feys, the Spirit Guards would use carcinoma feys and fight fire with fire.
The Moon Empress' words dispelled Lin Yuan's worries.
She was right! Why was he hesitating?
Furthermore, promoting a Class 1 world to Class 2 was a very good thing in itself.
After making this decision, all of Lin Yuan's anxiousness disappeared.
Although he did not need to come to a decision now, Lin Yuan still explained the situation to her.
"Master, do you know that worlds can be evolved just like feys?"
Lin Yuan's words immediately caught the Moon Empress' attention. She had never heard this question before.
If anyone else said this to the Moon Empress, she would think that they were trying to pull her leg. After all, she was already part of the highest echelon that stood on the top of the world. It was unlikely for there to be anything to exist that she had not even heard of!
Yet, since these words had come from Lin Yuan's mouth, the Moon Empress had no choice but to believe it to be true as he had already grown to an extent that she found hard to fathom.
The Moon Empress shook her head. She felt a sense of familiarity and absurdity at the same time.
Two years ago, when Lin Yuan had just become her disciple, he would ask her questions in the inner palace of the Radiant Moon Palace. She would then answer them.
But now, their roles were reversed. Despite still being his master, she was now the one who needed to be taught by him!
This was enough to prove just how much he had grown in the past two years.
"If the main world is combined with the five known dimensional worlds, we will be able to promote the main world from Class 1 to Class 2!
"I have already taken control of the five dimensional worlds and intend to join them to the main world with the Radiance Federation at the center. Once the joining is complete, the citizens from other federations can settle down anywhere within the dimensional worlds."
The Moon Empress' eyes lit up when she heard what Lin Yuan said.
She had never heard of such a thing before, but his explanation allowed her to understand the process.
If what Lin Yuan said was right and the citizens from other federations were settled down in the dimensional worlds that had been combined in the main world, the five dimensional worlds' ley lines could slow down the invasion of dead spirits. After all, the Sleeper's Revival had only contaminated the main world's ley lines and not the ley lines of the dimensional worlds.
As such it was feasible to house the main world's lifeforms in the dimensional worlds!
The Moon Empress was intelligent, so there was no need for Lin Yuan to go too deep into an explanation or elaboration on the profits.
However, dimensional lifeforms had low intelligence and were very ferocious. The Moon Empress was afraid that these dimensional lifeforms would attack the citizens of other federations who migrated into the dimensional worlds.
There was a difference in power between different federations. Not every federation was as powerful as the Azure, Freedom, and Radiance Federations. The federations without a Class 5 Creation Master were not even as strong as some of the Radiance Federation's cities.
As such, it would be difficult for these federations to fend off the dimensional lifeforms.
Although dimensional lifeforms were not intelligent, they knew how to gather up and attack when they were presented with delicious morsels!
When he heard the Moon Empress' concerns, Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "Master, my control of the dimensional worlds does not only extend to the powerful experts but the weak dimensional lifeforms as well!
"I have taken full and systematic control of the dimensional lifeforms. You don't need to worry that they will attack the humans! Rather, these dimensional lifeforms will even be able to protect them from danger."
The Moon Empress felt a heavy weight lift off of her. At that moment, just like Lin Yuan, she no longer felt as much stress.
If the humans could set up good defenses, they would only need to endure the disaster and do their best to survive!
There was no need for her to seal herself away in darkness. Anxiousness would only be damaging for a decision-maker.
Suddenly, the Moon Empress remembered that Tower Canon also controlled a dimensional world. It was called the dead world, and Lin Yuan had mentioned it before.
The Moon Empress sensed a strong connection between the dead world and the Sleeper's Revival plan. Checkk new ๐ovel ch๐pters at nov๐
Lin Yuan had overheard the Mirror God and the God of Fools mentioning that Tower Canon had once exchanged death aura with the Freedom Federation.
The Freedom Federation had delivered the death aura to Tower Canon in a special vessel.
Tower Canon had never engaged in such a trade with the Radiance Federation.
Upon learning this, the Moon Empress deliberately probed the death aura within the Radiance Federation. She discovered that Tower Canon hadn't collected any death aura from the Radiance Federation.
Tower Canon aimed to use death aura to corrupt ley lines and trigger a crisis with dead spirits. However, the main world lacked sufficient death aura for this purpose. Consequently, it was highly likely that Tower Canon obtained their death aura from the dead world!
Lin Yuan had merely mentioned involving the five dimensional worlds in the main world's advancement. He hadn't mentioned the dead world at all. This strongly suggested that the dead world wasn't part of the main world, and Tower Canon likely comprised experts from another world.
Having grasped this, the Moon Empress ceased asking further questions.
If she could deduce this, so could Lin Yuan. As she couldn't manage this situation, there was no need for her to contribute to his burden!
The Moon Empress personally cooked a meal. After dinner, she asked, "Little Yuan, are you staying in Leaning Moon Mountain tonight?"
Lin Yuan finished his cup of tea before saying with a smile, "Master, I intend to go to the Startling Lines Continent to make some advance preparations. I should be back within a week. I hope you'll take me to meet with the people from the Vast Sea Labyrinth when I get back. I have some things to discuss with them. This will allow me to decide exactly where to join the five dimensional worlds!"
The Moon Empress did not force Lin Yuan to stay as she knew that he was the busiest of them all. Moreover, no one could help him with what he needed to do!
Once ley lines were contaminated by death aura, there was no way to reverse the process.
Lin Yuan wanted to draw up this map so he could pinpoint a place to designate as a training ground for the troops.
This would allow the humans to gain an understanding of the dead spirits in advance and get a sense of just how many dead spirits would appear. This was the only way to make the best estimate of how long the crisis of dead spirits would last.
They would also be able to predict whether the dead spirits would rise up all at once or in waves.
They would stand a better chance of overcoming this trial only if they gathered as much information as possible.
"Little Yuan, do you intend to join the main world with the five dimensional worlds immediately after making contact with the five dimensional worlds?
"My suggestion is that you wait for the citizens of other federations to arrive in the Radiance Federation first. This will prevent them from interfering when the worlds are being joined.
"Additionally, you mentioned that you are collecting a faith-related power. You will be able to use this opportunity to gather faith from every human in the main world. The best way to gather faith is always to demonstrate unbelievable might and spin a miracle out of a seemingly hopeless situation!"
The Moon Empress paused before adding, "Once all the federations have migrated to the Radiance Federation, it is likely that some secret factions will try to establish communication with us. If any of them seem special, I will let you know.
"Little Yuan, again, I'm just going to remind you not to overwork yourself!"
The Moon Empress raised her hand and helped Lin Yuan to adjust his collar. She did this for him whenever he left for a long trip. But each time she did it, her mindset was completely different!
2636 Rotted Bones into Fireflies!
Lin Yuan transported himself through the Space Tunnel to the Divine Wood Federation. He arrived in the underground palace that Hu Quan had painstakingly built.
Hu Quan had used a metal-type spiritual ingredient called Gilded Light Silver to surround the underground palace.
Gilded Light Silver had strong damping and fortification effects, and Lin Yuan could move the underground palace into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He also had plans to build a palace in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
This was firstly because the Spirit Lock spatial zone's size would only increase as it continued to evolve. Moreover, when Morbius evolved into Myth Breed, the Spirit Lock spatial zone grew from a room into a small world. Having a palace there would befit this change in grandeur!
Hu Quan had asked Lin Yuan both about the construction and design of this palace, and Lin Yuan had added his own input.
Lin Yuan's ideal palace was one that Hu Quan would carve out over a long period.
Silver Corona's bone lotus flowers outside the underground palace were in prime bloom at the moment. Silver Corona flew over and sat down on Lin Yuan's shoulder when it saw him.
Silver Corona had not seen Lin Yuan in a very long time.
Although Lin Yuan had used a different method to contract Silver Corona than he did his other feys, this did not change the fact that it was a lifeform he had contracted!
Silver Corona felt rather uneasy after seeing all the other feys being evolved to Suzerain/Myth.
Recently, it had been consuming dimensional lifeforms non-stop and was only a step away from reaching Myth Breed!
Silver Corona never expressed its emotions strongly. But at this moment, it held Lin Yuan's face and nudged it with its own.
"Yuan, I reached Diamond X three months ago and have successfully evolved to Fantasy Breed! My bloodline is now the top amongst the six-winged fairies! Once I reach Myth Breed, my bloodline will be able to reach pinnacle six wings at the very least, or maybe even eight wings!"
Silver Corona had been very proud of the strength of its bloodline. But when it thought about Red Thorn's bloodline, all of that pride crumbled away.
Although Silver Corona and Red Thorn were six-winged fairies and could be considered equals, Silver Corona always felt timid before Red Thorn.
It was certain that Red Thorn could become an eight-winged fairy when it evolved to Myth Breed! If it could not take that step when it evolved to Myth Breed, it would never be able to catch up to Red Thorn!
Silver Corona's words caused Lin Yuan's eyes to light up.
Silver Corona had finally evolved to Fantasy Breed! Unlike the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, it had not been stuck at Diamond X/Legend for a long time.
Lin Yuan immediately used True Data to check on Silver Corona.
[Fey Name: Sea Burial Lotus Flower (Silver Corona)
[Fey Species: Water Willow/Water Bone Lotus
[Fey Grade: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type: Source/Fairy
[Fey Quality: Fantasy IV
Abilities:
[Spotted Coral: When trained according to the spots on the coral jade, different effects are generated.
1. Nurture Spot Style: Nurture the spots that were absorbed from the spotted coral jade in the Bone Lotus Flowers. The Bone Lotus Flowers will use a living being's life and soul to nurture the spots to give them vitality. The spots with vitality can use the living being's original strength to increase the strength and stamina of the Bone Lotus Flowers.
2. Burial Spot Style: Place the spots in between the Bone Lotus Flowers. The spots will eat the Bone Lotus Flowers and become bone insects. The bone insects will retain the spot's abilities and can deal with attacks on the Bone Lotus Flowers according to their abilities. The external lifeforce will be absorbed, and their soul can also be absorbed when the external lifeforce is still weak.
[Bone Powder Mist: The Bone Lotus Flowers will vomit out the living being's bones that could not be digested. The bone powder will fly up into the sky and stay in the coral spots once it reaches a set thickness of layer.
[Blood Bone Insect Drunk: While the bone insects eat, they enter a drunken state. When they're in a drunken state, they will not feel any pain. The circulation of their root power will also slow down.
[Blooming Lotus: The Bone Lotus Flowers' structure will change and split into main lotuses and branch lotuses. The branch lotuses will strengthen combat power, while main lotuses will lose all combat power. Every time the main lotuses blooms, the spots will use the vitality they absorbed to produce a skeletal insect. The skeletal insect can consume them to repair the damage done to the body.
[Arrival of Grant of Death: When the hermit's dead servants cannot stand up against the enemies, they will change into the grants of death that place death penalties on the targets' souls.
[Soul Parasite Rebirth: The soul will be hosted in the main lotus. The main lotus will make a copy of the aura of the lifeform's soul and vitality. When the target's body and soul are damaged, the main lotus can be sacrificed while absorbing vitality and soul power to enable the target to be reborn. Once reborn, the target will be in a very weak state, and its soul and roots will also be diminished.
Exclusive Skill:
[Hermit's Dead Servant: The Bone Lotus Flower will absorb the target's body when attacking it. 1% of the target's power will be injected into the target's soul to cause the target to be pregnant with its dead soul. The dead soul will consume itself, and when the Bone Lotus Flowers gain 36 hermit dead servants, every hermit dead servant will be able to create a layer of mist over the Bone Lotus Flowers.
[Rotted Bones into Fireflies: Both vitality and death aura will be absorbed simultaneously. The vitality will turn into fireflies that will mend the sea of Bone Lotus Flowers. The death aura will increase the strength of every Bone Lotus Flower. If there is a pile of rotting bones below the Bone Lotus Flowers to supply nutrients to them, as long as the main lotus is alive, rotting lotuses will be produced from the rotting bones and energy will be saved!
Lin Yuan noticed that Silver Corona had reached Fantasy IV! All it needed to do was absorb sufficient energy, and it might be able to evolve to Fantasy V soon!
But what delighted Lin Yuan the most about Silver Corona's True Data description was not its grade and quality but the exclusive skill it gained after reaching Fantasy Breed.
For all the lifeforms in the main world, the dead spirits crisis would be a cataclysmic calamity. But for Silver Corona, it would be a delicious feast.
Rotted Bones into Fireflies allowed Silver Corona to absorb death aura, meaning that the dead spirits would become part of its meals.
If he didn't intervene during the disaster and let all the lifeforms in the area die, there was a high chance that Silver Corona wouldโafter gathering power for centuriesโbecome the savior who ended the dead spirits crisis!
With limited food available and Silver Corona's ever-growing hunger, its food supply would eventually run out.
When Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he planned to plant Silver Corona by the entrance.
His original idea was to wait until he reached the Sky Beyond the Clouds before continuing to nurture Silver Corona. Once the five dimensional worlds merged with the main world, there wouldn't be any more dimensional rifts opening up!
But now, Lin Yuan changed his mind. He could use this dead spirits crisis to nurture Silver Corona and help it to grow!
Lin Yuan found himself struggling to imagine the degree to which Silver Corona could grow by the time the dead spirits crisis ended.
Rotted Bones into Fireflies allowed Silver Corona to sustain itself using death aura. The death aura would turn into fireflies that tended to the sea of flowers. It would be able to achieve the greatest dream of plant lifeforms, which was to never wither!
Given the current size of the sea of flowers, it would not fit in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Even if it did fit, Lin Yuan did not want to leave Silver Corona in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
Spirit qi was no longer of much help to Silver Corona. Regardless of how large the Spirit Lock spatial zone became, Lin Yuan did not want to waste its resources.
The sea of bone lotus flowers could not be moved once they had spread out. Silver Corona could recover a portion of the energy by forcing the flowers to wither, but most of the energy would still be lost!
The only way to move Silver Corona would be to instruct Sweet Vanquish and the other Samsara Realm Land Imps to integrate iron boards into the ground and shift the entire palace with all the bone lotus flowers along with it!
This would be no small undertaking and not even Lin Yuan would come to such a decision easily.
Suddenly, an idea formed in Lin Yuan's mind. Why not plant Silver Corona in the seabed between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent? The environment at the seabed would be much more comfortable for Silver Corona than on land!
When Lin Yuan first found Silver Corona, it had been a plant-type carcinoma fey growing in the sea.
Lin Yuan's gift to the Vast Sea Labyrinth would be planting Silver Corona in the sea between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent. It would be a way of thanking them for supplying the Island Whales to help the humans with their crisis.
If Silver Corona's main body was separated from the sea of bone lotus flowers, its consumption rate would decline. Thus, Silver Corona did not head to Thick Soil City with Lin Yuan and stayed put to continue increasing its power and to strive to evolve to Myth Breed.
Lin Yuan had made sure to remind Silver Corona not to rush to evolve to Myth Breed but to focus on accumulating its power instead so that it could use the dead spirits to evolve to eight wings before attempting another breakthrough.
Silver Corona nodded obediently when it heard that. It also preferred to grow its fourth pair of wings during its evolution to Myth Breed rather than trying to evolve to Myth Breed as soon as possible!
That way, it would not have to keep its head down around Red Thorn when they were both by Lin Yuan's side in the future!
โฆ
The first thing that Lin Yuan did after arriving in Thick Soil City was head to the City Lord's residence. There was one of the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacle nodes there.
He did not need to be inspected before he entered Thick Soil City. Otherwise, given how infrequently he came to Thick Soil City, there was no certainty the guards could recognize him!
Lin Yuan had already informed Ta Lei he would be coming, and the former was waiting for him in the meeting room with Qin Yu.
After a short interlude of faint spatial fluctuations, Lin Yuan's body appeared in the meeting room.
When Qin Yu first arrived to help Ta Lei, they had been around the same height. But now, Lin Yuan realized Qin Yu was already taller than Ta Lei by almost a head! His originally stick-thin body had also filled out with the latest novels ๐๐ n๐
Lin Yuan patted Qin Yu and Ta Lei's shoulders. It had to be hard on them to manage all the operations of a mega city like Thick Soil City!
Su Yiren had brought up Ta Lei. She determined that he possessed some talent for governance but was only suited to maintaining the status quo. He was not capable of dealing with risky endeavors or breaking new ground.
This might sound like she was undermining him, but she was already being very generous!
There always had to be a member of the Astronomical Parliament in the main world. Ta Lei was very suited to watching over the entire main world from Thick Soil City.
Rather, it was Qin Yu who took Lin Yuan by surprise.
Qin Yu had only spent a few months following Listen around before he came to assist Ta Lei. Previously, he ran a small fey store and had not had any opportunities to train himself at all.
But after going to Ta Lei, Qin Yu had managed to endure the change in environment and had not caused any trouble. A few months later, he was already very adept at his responsibilities!
Even Lin Yuan did not think he could match up to Qin Yu in terms of adaptability and rate of learning.
Someone like Qin Yu only needed someone to nurture him, and he would definitely become capable of big things!
Lin Yuan placed Qin Yu at the highest rank of priority to be nurtured amongst Sky City's members.
Both Ta Lei and Qin Yu had been saved by Lin Yuan when they were on the brink of death, so they felt immense gratitude and respect towards him.
Lin Yuan had not only saved Qin Lun and Ta Lei but was also nurturing Qin Yu's younger brother, Qin Lun.
Because of Lin Yuan, Qin Lun did not need to brave the cold selling plum branches in order to earn money to buy medicine.
Before Lin Yuan saved Qin Yu, his biggest dream had been to send Qin Lun to school.
Now, Lin Yuan had fulfilled that dream.
Lin Yuan had saved Ta Lei and changed his entire tribe. Now, they did not have to be bullied by anyone and were seen as the leaders of Thick Soil City!
The help that Lin Yuan had given their families was more impactful than saving their lives.
Lin Yuan's patting of their shoulders indicated he acknowledged them. This thrilled both Ta Lei and Qin Yu.
Ta Lei knew that Lin Yuan was very busy and immediately began talking about official business.
"Teacher, I have organized everyone in Thick Soil City. When will we, just like the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation, be able to migrate? Sister Luo Lan has arrived at the Great Lush Federation's harbor, and the Island Whales have begun moving."
After discussing with the Moon Empress, Lin Yuan decided to combine the main world with the dimensional worlds.
Now, aside from those in Thick Soil City, no humans were found in the Startling Lines Continent.
Lin Yuan was silent momentarily before saying, "You don't have to move the people out of Thick Soil City. I will turn the entire Startling Lines Continent into an impenetrable fortress within 20 days. Before the crisis of dead spirits begins, I will send at least 10 Samsara Realm Dictators and 100 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to guard and protect Thick Soil City!"
2637 Chef Supreme's Limit!
Ta Lei and Qin Yu were all aware of the magnitude of the impending catastrophe. It was beyond anything they could dream up!
But as long as Lin Yuan said that he was confident in keeping Thick Soil City safe, the two of them believed him without hesitation.
Ta Lei and Qin Yu voiced their stances,
"Master, we will stand by Thick Soil City. We are ready for any of your instructions!"
"Young Master, I will do my best to assist Ta Lei and complete Thick Soil City's organization!"
Ta Lei always addressed Lin Yuan as 'Master/Teacher', and Lin Yuan had only corrected him once. Since this was how Ta Lei wanted to address him, there was no need to try and change him. However, there was no actual master-disciple relationship between the two of them.
It was true that Lin Yuan had helped Ta Lei to become a Class 3 Creation Master, but all of the knowledge had come from Genius.
There were numerous others who received the same treatment as Ta Lei. For example, Bei Xu and Bu Po had also been taught and guided by Lin Yuan and Genius. However, the two of them did not see Lin Yuan as their Master like Ta Lei did.
At first, Qin Yu had been very nervous when he found out that Ta Lei addressed Lin Yuan that way. If Ta Lei was truly Lin Yuan's disciple, it would mean that he was his 'little master'!
But as time went on, Qin Yu realized that was not actually the case.
Ta Lei saw Lin Yuan as his Master, but Lin Yuan did not see Ta Lei as his disciple.
After realizing this, Qin Yu became much more relaxed in his interactions with Ta Lei. He stopped following Ta Lei's decisions completely and would give his own opinions to initiate discussions with Ta Lei.
Ta Lei was very conservative, but Qin Yu was more daring. Thus, he could make up for Ta Lei's flaws.
Despite slowly realizing that he was more capable than Ta Lei, Qin Yu did not feel any derision or arrogance toward Ta Lei. He continued to view them as equals.
Qin Yu knew that Lin Yuan had only placed him there to train him but would not leave him with Ta Lei permanently. He would eventually be assigned somewhere else!
What Lin Yuan said next shocked and excited Qin Yu.
"From now on, Ta Lei will manage Thick Soil City on his own. Qin Yu will be in charge of the Startling Lines Continent's defensive base that will be built outside of Thick Soil City.
"The Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators will go with Qin Yu. Ta Lei, if you have any needs, you can contact Qin Yu! The two of you must have become close with each other after working together for such a long time."
Qin Yu nodded seriously. He knew that his chance was finally there!
When he was by Ta Lei's side, he could only support Ta Lei but did not hold any decision-making power. Regardless of how well-run Thick Soil City was, it was all due to Ta Lei's effort and not his own.
But now that Lin Yuan was going to send him to manage the defensive base outside Thick Soil City, he could finally call the shots!
The achievements he made in the future would definitely allow him to shine in Lin Yuan's eyes.
Lin Yuan assigning the Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to him was also a sign that he deemed him to be more capable than Ta Lei.
Ta Lei also understood that. However, he was not the type to be competitive and found happiness in stability.
He was only able to grow to such an extent within such a short time because Su Yiren and Luo Lan had helped him. At the same time, he was determined not to let Lin Yuan down.
Ta Lei was always aware of his capabilities. Just like Bei Xu and Bu Po, he came from nothing. But unlike them, he did not have much tenacity. To put it bluntly, he was just a laid-back character!
Regardless of how hard he worked, the shortcomings of his character limited him to only being capable of properly looking after Thick Soil City!
A while ago, Ta Lei had been extremely troubled by this and complained to Su Yiren and Luo Lan about it.
Both of them had given him the same reply, which was not to overextend himself beyond his limits. Doing things right was more important than doing more things!
After taking their advice, all Ta Lei wanted to do now was to do his best in his role as Thick Soil City's City Lord.
It could be said that of all the members of the Astronomical Parliament, Ta Lei had the least prospects. His path had essentially ended there.
But Lin Yuan believed that Ta Lei was enough. Otherwise, he would not have allowed him to manage Thick Soil City on his own!
From the way that he was treating Ta Lei, all the members of the Astronomical Parliament knew that Lin Yuan was extremely kind.
"Master, if I need anything, I will let Qin Yu know! If he needs me, I won't hesitate to help either!"
Lin Yuan handed a copy of Bai Qinghuan's plan to Qin Yu.
Once Sweet Vanquish and the 15,000,000 Land Imps arrived by Qin Yu's side, all he needed to do was act according to this plan!
After handing things over to Qin Yu, Lin Yuan started helping the experts to evolve their feys' grades and qualities.
The Pure Land of Bliss now covered one square kilometer. With this size, Lin Yuan estimated he could help at least 500 feys with their World Cleansings. This would save a lot of time and increase the rate at which he accumulated spirit qi crystals!
Nonetheless, this still occupied Lin Yuan for two days.
Firstly, this was because Lin Yuan had established this system in the Startling Lines Continent much earlier than he had in the Radiance Federation. Additionally, it was much easier to evolve plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline than regular plant-type feys.
Now that he had amassed another mountain of spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan once again had a wealth of resources at his disposal. His method of using his resources to nurture experts who would then give even more resources back to him was a sustainable one! Through this method, his store of resources would only snowball.
Lin Yuan learned from Keira that pure spirit qi and elemental energy were also considered invaluable resources in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
He wanted to snowball as many resources as he could so they could help him in his endeavors in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
The experts gathered in Thick Soil City had come from the Divine Wood, Iron Hammer, and Great Lush Federations. Lin Yuan noticed that they got along well, and there was no friction between them. This pleased him greatly.
By the time Lin Yuan left, Sweet Vanquish had already led the 15,000,000 Land Imps to the Startling Lines Continent and met up with Qin Yu.
Sweet Vanquish dared not show any disrespect toward Qin Yu.
Given that Lin Yuan had assigned the management of such a massive operation to Qin Yu alone, it meant that Lin Yuan had to have great trust and belief in Qin Yu's abilities. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would never have made such a decision!
With Sweet Vanquish so cooperative toward Qin Yu, it went without saying that the Land Imps under him were even more obedient!
Qin Yu had not contracted a Vitality Sloth because he did not see himself as just being talented at internal governance. With his Polar Night Blue Sky Scorpion beast patterns and the Polar Night Blue Sky Scorpion that Lin Yuan had helped him to contract, Qin Yu felt that only utilizing his talents in internal governance would be a waste of the trust and resources Lin Yuan had invested into him!
Qin Yu knew that Lin Yuan was extremely powerfulโmore powerful than Qin Yu could ever imagine.
Nonetheless, Qin Yu still placed his hopes on eventually becoming Lin Yuan's bodyguard.
โฆ
Once Lin Yuan returned to the Radiance Federation, he continued gathering the spirit qi crystals before he handed a large batch of resources to the Moon Empress so that she could allocate them as she saw fit.
Lin Yuan had already told the Moon Empress about his goals, so she would definitely know what to do with these resources!
Even if Lin Yuan had the time, he did not want to waste it on networking with the other federations. He preferred to use the time to produce more resources in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
โฆ
With the Land Imps' help, Hu Quan was basically done building the living area for the Hundred Questions Beasts! The details of the interior and other decorations would only be completed a long time later.
Hu Quan would lead his subordinates in doing up every room later on. But now that the rudimentary version of the base was complete, the Hundred Questions Beasts could begin using it.
Genius and the Hundred Questions Beasts it had selected went to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's breeding base and selected 100,000 young Hundred Questions Beasts. These young Hundred Questions Beasts could not even open their eyes yet and were all newborns.
All of them had unattractive fur colors and could not be considered beauties. If they were sent to the market, it was unlikely they would be picked and bought. After all, one only needed to spend another 200 Federation dollars, and they could buy a much more attractive Hundred Questions Beast! Even the poorest family only had to tighten their belts, and they would be able to scrape 200 Federation dollars together!
Once these Hundred Questions Beasts were moved into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, they would be carefully nurtured by the matured Hundred Questions Beasts.
โฆ
Lin Yuan could not help but think that despite the unfortunate circumstances of their births, these Hundred Questions Beasts ended up being the luckiest of their peers!
Just as Lin Yuan was about to go into the Spirit Lock spatial zone to take a look at the Soldier Ration Radishes that had been moved into the Spirit Lock spatial zone and were being looked after by the Medusa Snake Demons, he received a message from the Moon Empress.
[Moon Empress: Little Yuan, the people from the Vast Sea Labyrinth have arrived in the Radiance Federation and have something to discuss with us. If you have time tonight, why don't you come with me to meet them?
Normally, the Moon Empress did not bring up interactions with other factions with Lin Yuan because she knew he was not invested in such matters. She informed him now because he had mentioned wanting to interact with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Lin Yuan smiled when he saw the Moon Empress' message.
[Lin Yuan: Master, I am heading to the Radiant Moon Palace now to meet with you! It just so happens that I need to ask your opinion on something.
Lin Yuan had cleansed his body of impurities numerous times. He had also consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk. Thus, his genetic model had long exceeded average human limits. Lin Yuan's body could not be cleaner.
Moreover, the spirit qi clothes that he wore also repelled dust.
But after not showering for almost a week, Lin Yuan still drew a warm bath in his room in the Return from Faraway Mansion before heading to the Radiant Moon Palace.
โฆ
The Moon Empress was seated at a table and looked at the thick stack of documents in her hand before handing most of them to Cicada Song. She knew that Cicada Song was more capable than her when it came to internal governance.
The Spacetime Elder only showed her favor because she had the highest Creation Mastery and was the strongest expert among all the Radiance Federation's royalty. Lin Yuan was another contributing reason.
The Spacetime Elder had contracted the Lifespan Mouse and attained an endless lifespan.
Although he had relinquished his position and did not need to worry about anything anymore, he was still trying to protect the Radiance Federation.
Ever since the Moon Empress found out about the existence of the Sky Beyond the Clouds from Lin Yuan, her sights were also no longer restricted to the main world. She did not want to spend all of her time on internal governance because it would delay her increment in power.
They were in the midst of a crisis. Once the dead spirits emerged and things started progressing as planned, the Moon Empress intended to hand everything to Cicada Song so she could focus on increasing her power.
Recently, the Moon Empress had been busy, but she had also been troubled by one matterโChef Supreme had sent a message saying he would reach his limit within the next five years.
Chef Supreme was around the same age as the Spacetime Elder. While the Spacetime Elder had been establishing the Radiance Federation, he had suffered numerous hidden injuries. The same went for Chef Supreme as well.
Chef Supreme's contributions could not be ignored when it came to building the Radiance Federation that allowed the Moon Empress and Bamboo Monarch to grow in such an outstanding manner!
Chef Supreme had provided the Moon Empress and Bamboo Monarch with resources continuously after noticing their potential.
This was why the Moon Empress and Bamboo Monarch had such deep respect for Chef Supreme.
Now that she learned Chef Supreme was not long for this world, the Moon Empress, who had attained an endless lifespan, felt intense sorrow.
She knew that Lin Yuan was very close with Chef Supreme's disciple and daughter. Thus, after some thought, she decided not to hide this from him.
There was no way that Chef Supreme's people would tell Lin Yuan about this. If she did not tell him either, he would be filled with regret if he was not able to see Chef Supreme one final time!
The Lifespan Mouse's existence was a miracle in itself.
When the Moon Empress last spoke to Lin Yuan, she learned he only had three Lifespan Mice left after giving one to the Spacetime Elder.
She never thought about asking Lin Yuan to give a Lifespan Mouse to Chef new ๐hapters ๐n n๐v(๐)
If there were still only three Lifespan Mice left and Lin Yuan wanted to give one to Chef Supreme, the Moon Empress would advise him to think twice before giving away something so precious.
The Moon Empress intended to listen to Lin Yuan's question once they met.
She would tell Lin Yuan about Chef Supreme after they were done meeting with the people from the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
This would prevent him from showing his grief when they met with the Vast Sea Labyrinth and cause them to misunderstand that the people from the Radiance Federation were weak and incapable.
Lin Yuan's question for the Moon Empress was indeed related to the Lifespan Mice.
Although he could not produce the Lifespan Mouse in large batches, as long as he was willing to nurture the army of Hundred Questions Beasts, he would still have an endless supply of the Lifespan Mouse.
Lin Yuan's question was not about how to use the Lifespan Mice. He would never ask such a ludicrous question.
An endless lifespan would cause many issues for the main world. But Lin Yuan was no longer restricted to the main world.
2638 The Vast Sea Labyrinth's Request!
Even if it caused disruptions, it would be the Sky Beyond the Clouds that would be affected. Given the Sky Beyond the Clouds' level, small disruptions like this would not mean much! They might even have similar treasures themselves.
For example, Keira used her own bloodline to create the alien insect species. She also managed to use reincarnation to extend her own lifespan by thousands of years.
This would be akin to possessing pills of immortality when your family and friends had to contend with death. At that point, no one would be thinking about whether the immortality pills violated natural law!
Lin Yuan wanted to ask the Moon Empress if she needed the Lifespan Mice. If she did, he would be able to nurture the Lifespan Mice and supply them to the Radiance Federation.
In the face of this crisis that would affect the entire main world and trigger a changing of epochs, it would be necessary to have people with endless lifespans to see the main world through the entire event!
Lin Yuan's current power had reached the peak of the main world, but he did not know much about the main world's bigshots. Rather, he was more familiar with factions like the Heavenly Family Cottage, which was composed fully of Heavenly Family Feys.
For example, in the Radiance Federation, besides the Moon Empress, Night Leaning Moon, and Chef Supreme, Lin Yuan had only met and exchanged words with the Bamboo Monarch, Cicada Song, and the Spacetime Elder a few times. There were even members of royalty whom Lin Yuan had never seen before.
He had never met a single bigshot from another federation.
As such, it would be much more suitable for him to give the Lifespan Mice to the Moon Empress so she could distribute them accordingly.
After Lin Yuan sat down, the Moon Empress poured out a cup of tea for him and asked softly, "Little Yuan, do you have anything to ask me? I have time now, so I can help you with anything you might need.
"The federation representatives who left will need some time to relocate their citizens to the Radiance Federation. Even after they do, Cicada Song will be administering the operation!"
Lin Yuan hurriedly shook his head.
The Moon Empress was his Master, and he would only go to her with questions. He would never assign tasks to her.
"Master, do you remember the Lifespan Mouse? It is the fey that both you and the Spacetime Elder have contracted."
The Moon Empress' expression changed when she heard what Lin Yuan said. She began closely observing the expressions on his face.
Was Lin Yuan bringing up the Lifespan Mouse because he knew about Chef Supreme's lifespan coming to an end?
But the Moon Empress could not discern any pain from his expression.
If Lin Yuan intended to give the Lifespan Mouse to Chef Supreme, he should not be acting so calmly.
But if he did not know about Chef Supreme's limited lifespan, why would he bring up the Lifespan Mouse to her?
The Moon Empress nodded to indicate she remembered the Lifespan Mouse.
To the Moon Empress, the Lifespan Mouse was a precious treasure that no amount of resources could replace.
The Earth Center Fine Milk had a place on the list of most precious treasures, but it could only increase one's lifespan by a year or two. Moreover, its effects would be discounted after the first use!
Even Class 2 Creation Masters could utilize spiritual ingredients that contained vitality, much less Class 5 Creation Masters.
Thus, using the Lifespan Mouse to increase one's lifespan came at a very small cost!
When the Moon Empress nodded, Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Master, do you need the Lifespan Mice? Uncle Mystic and Auntie Cold still have long lifespans, but they can eventually use the Lifespan Mouse. Why don't we use this time before the crisis of dead spirits to help themโ"
Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, the Moon Empress sternly cut him off.
"Little Yuan, I'm sure you know how precious the Lifespan Mouse is. I am aware of your affection for Mystic Moon and Cold Moon, but you should keep such a resource to yourself and use it for your own needs! They are my left and right arms, but not yours.
"Liu Jie and Wen Yu are your left and right arms! If you have a surplus of the Lifespan Mice, you can give them to Liu Jie and Wen Yu rather than Mystic Moon and Cold Moon.
"When you go to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, don't reveal the existence of treasures that can extend lifespans, like the Lifespan Mouse, unless it's absolutely necessary. There's no way to tell what people are truly thinking. You should try your best to prevent anyone from coming after you because of the resources you possess!"
The Moon Empress had never said such things to Lin Yuan before. It was similar to what mothers in Lin Yuan's previous life told their children before leaving for university. Only those who truly cared about you would say such things!
The Moon Empress believed she could protect Lin Yuan in the main world. But she would not have this confidence once he left for the Sky Beyond the Clouds!
It was possible that when they went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, their positions would be switched. He would have to be the one to protect her instead!DiisCoover ๐pdated novels on n(o)v. ๐
Lin Yuan smiled at what the Moon Empress said before he took out a thermos box made of crystal. It contained 20 Lifespan Mice that were covered by orangey-red fur.
The Moon Empress looked shocked when she saw this box of Lifespan Mice. But she was also happy.
Lin Yuan noticed the happiness in her eyes and realized there was someone who badly needed the Lifespan Mouse!
"Master, the Lifespan Mouse can be nurtured. However, the process is very tedious and requires both effort and resources. I managed to nurture a few. I am leaving these Lifespan Mice with you. I'm sure you understand my meaning. You can give them to those who need them.
"I think Uncle Mystic, Auntie Cold, your four Moon Servants, and four tea attendants should have Lifespan Mice reserved for them!"
Lin Yuan paused before he asked the Moon Empress with a serious expression, "Master, if your friend's lifespan is coming to an end and you don't have enough of the Lifespan Mice, feel free to ask me for more!"
From Lin Yuan's words, the Moon Empress knew he had noticed something in her gaze.
Since there was no lack of the Lifespan Mice, all problems could be solved!
Since Lin Yuan was willing to give away the Lifespan Mice, Chef Supreme definitely had the abilities, power, and track record to make him deserving of receiving the Lifespan Mouse!
As such, the Moon Empress started telling Lin Yuan about Chef Supreme.
"Little Yuan, the Kitchen Fragrance Palace sent word that Chef Supreme only has around five years left in his lifespan. He personally declared during an imperial meeting that he would enter seclusion to concoct more potions to maximize his value. He also said to send any dangerous tasks his way first!"
When the Moon Empress' lifespan was ending, her main emotion had been indignance. But Chef Supreme was much more resigned and accepting. The past few centuries of his life had been exciting enough.
Chef Supreme was very cavalier, but the same could not be said for the others. Tian Feng was on good terms with Chef Supreme and had shed a waterfall of tears.
"Little Yuan, I will send the Lifespan Mouse to Kitchen Fragrance Palace in your name. If you aren't busy, you can deliver it there yourself, too!"
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he said softly, "Master, I think you should help me to deliver it. Once we meet with the Vast Sea Labyrinth's people and settle our discussions with them, I have many other plans that I need to see to."
The Moon Empress instinctively tousled the top of Lin Yuan's head. He had only just celebrated his 19th birthday but did not sound like a 19-year-old at all.
"Little Yuan, no matter how busy you are, don't forget to take care of yourself! If you overstrain yourself and damage your roots, you will need to make up for it when the time comes for you to awaken your birth horoscope!"
The Moon Empress' tone was solemn.
She had experienced what it was like to have seriously damaged roots, which caused her to suffer unexpectedly when she tried to awaken her birth horoscope. It was natural that she did not want Lin Yuan to go through the same experience.
The Moon Empress had brought this up with Lin Yuan more than once.
Because of his injured roots, the Class 5 Creation Master Weng Queji was still unable to awaken his birth horoscope, even with Lin Yuan's help.
Hence, Lin Yuan was well aware of the consequences of damaging his roots. He would never knowingly harm himself.
"Master, don't worry. I won't overextend myself."
It was true that Lin Yuan was busy, but he could squeeze out pockets of free time.
He did not want to go to the Kitchen Fragrance Palace personally because he was afraid of being profusely thanked by Uncle Li and Auntie Zhang.
Regardless of what happened, Lin Yuan felt he would never be able to repay Auntie Zhang and Uncle Li for all they had done for him when he was younger.
Although Lin Yuan and Chu Ci could have survived without Auntie Zhang and Uncle Li, the two of them had brought warmth into Lin Yuan's life. Because of them, he felt as though he still had people to rely on, even during the toughest times!
Lin Yuan would not know how to respond if they thanked him.
Aside from the Moon Empress, Uncle Li and Auntie Zhang were the elders whom Lin Yuan respected the most. Not even Mystic Moon and Cold Moon could compare to them.
"Master, why don't you send three Lifespan Mice to the Kitchen Fragrance Palace? His daughter and son-in-law can contract the other two."
The Moon Empress could not help but grin.
Lin Yuan's suggestion once again proved what a sentimental person he was.
Those who only cared about profits would think of his sentimentality as stupid. But the Moon Empress admired this about him because she was the same.
In the past, the Moon Empress always asked Lin Yuan to wear the version of the coronation costume she had prepared for him when they met with members of other factions. This was so the other factions would know he was her disciple.
But she did not ask him to do so this time.
If the people from the main world learned about everything Lin Yuan had done, they would no longer talk about him as the Moon Empress' disciple. Rather, they would talk about her as Lin Yuan's Master.
Meanwhile, in a building situated in the Radiance Federation's imperial courtโฆ
Three strange men were seated around a table. All of them were staring austerely at the resources the Radiance Federation had just given them.
The three of them were the true rulers of the sea clans, the Vast Sea Labyrinth's leaders. All three of them had married members of the Heavenly Family Cottage and were notorious within the Vast Sea Labyrinth for being afraid of their wives.
But the three Heavenly Family Feys who married them knew that their fear actually came from a place of adoration and respect.
In actuality, the Heavenly Family Cottage could not compare to the Vast Sea Labyrinth's might!
The Vast Sea Labyrinth had been ruling over the sea clans for millennia, and they controlled all of the resources produced in the sea. They owned thousands of the Island Whales the humans were so eager to nurture but found difficult to do so.
Although the Heavenly Family Cottage also had a long history, they had very few members. There were less than 100 Heavenly Family Feys in the entire world!
The three of them had already noticed changes happening to the ley lines at the bottom of the sea.
However, they had not thought much of it and were feeling great regret over that mistake. If they had discovered Tower Canon's plot a little earlier, they might have been able to reverse this disaster.
They were also furious thinking about how they had previously worked with Tower Canon. Their cooperation with Tower Canon had been a major driving force in the Sleeper's Revival plan.
Although the three of them were unaware of Tower Canon's plot, they still felt guilty. They felt remorseful toward every lifeform in the main world.
Otherwise, the Vast Sea Labyrinth would never have neglected to make even a single request of the Radiance Federation during their negotiation.
The tall, skinny man with long black hair and an air of elegance around him asked the two other men, "First Brother and Second Brother, why are we hesitating? We must ask the Radiance Federation for help! The Radiance Federation has more power than they are letting on. I have investigated this!
"It's true that a 50-centimeter-thick layer of metal-type stone boards has covered the bottom of the Radiance Federation. The sea clans are in greater danger than the humans! We also need to cover the bottom of the sea with these special metal-type stone boards. Otherwise, we won't be able to take cover anywhere when the dead spirits rise from the sea!
"Don't forget that all lifeforms lived in the sea during the first and second epochs. They only started making their way to the land during the third epoch."
The black-haired man spoke in an agitated tone. Few things in this world could send a leader of the Vast Sea Labyrinth into a state of panic.
However, this matter was grave and concerned the survival of the sea clans.
The man with short and curly light-blue hair and two light-blue moles at the corner of his eye said, "Third Brother, you must maintain your composure at all times! We have come to the Radiance Federation to ask for their help. We have already demonstrated sufficient sincerity. Without our thousands of Island Whales, the humans would never have been able to successfully complete their migration.
"According to Sister Purple Love, the Radiance Federation is easy to communicate with. Moreover, we are on the same side as the humans in the dead spirits crisis. However, First Brother should still be the one to lead the conversation and decide what conditions we set for the humans!"
The silver-haired man with a burly physique and black scales on his face smiled wryly.
His brother was thinking about things way too simply!
Now that they were racing against time, asking the Radiance Federation for such help would be no different from trying to rob them of their means of survival.
Chapter 2639 What Did the Moon Empress Mean by This?
There was no way that the Radiance Federation would be willing to share freely in the face of such a crisis. If they could, he would not be as troubled as he was now!
The burly, short-haired man with a few black scales on his head chuckled wryly.
"Second Brother, we are not here to negotiate with the Radiance Federation but to request their help! Let's stop with the discussions. As long as the Radiance Federation is willing to help us, we will do our best to meet their conditions!
"Watch your words when we meet with the Moon Empress later. Do not make the Radiance Federation feel like we are threatening them with the favor we have done for them!"
The short blue-haired man with two light green moles by the corner of his eye hurriedly said, "Big Brother, when have we ever been pushed to such a degree? Our sea clans will be the main troops in dealing with the dead spirits crisis that will befall the entire world.
"There will be many more dead spirits rising from the sea than the land. It's obvious that our jobs will be harderโ"
The rest of his words were cut off.
"Second Brother, you have to get one thing clear. The humans don't need the sea clans' help to face this crisis! If we hadn't become aware of the Radiance Federation's might and gotten a glimpse of their capabilities, we wouldn't have been so easily convinced to help them with their migration!Fiind upd๐ted ๐ovels on n๐ /m
"We control all of the sea clans in the sea, but the Radiance Federation is not directly affected by whether the other federations live or die. We are helping the other federations and not the Radiance Federation.
"The humans have always fought with each other. When have they ever decided to band together to form an alliance? If we're only talking about the Radiance Federation, we do not have much of an upper hand!
"Don't forget that you have also done your own investigation and confirmed that it's true that metal-type stone boards have been laid down below the entire Radiance Federation! This means that the rumor about the Radiance Federation taking over the subterranean world is true. Otherwise, how could so many Land Imps be activated to help the Radiance Federation with this operation?
"Second Brother, your view of things is too superficial. Ice Flow sees things much clearer than you can!"
The elegant man with long black hair that reached the ground also sighed.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth was currently being forced to take action. They would inevitably have to surrender some control to the Radiance Federation. All they could do was hope that the Radiance Federation did not go overboard!
Frankly, there was nothing the Vast Sea Labyrinth could do even if the Radiance Federation chose to go overboard.
He had sought out Purple Love in the hopes she could act as a bridge that protected them. But she had turned him down.
This told Ice Flow that Purple Love cared more about her relationship with the Radiance Federation than she did with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Previously, the Moon Empress had already gone to see the Vast Sea Labyrinth's three leaders in a very formal manner. Hence, she did not need to be equally ceremonial this time. Instead, she took Lin Yuan directly to where the three leaders were staying.
The three figures stood up when the Moon Empress entered with Lin Yuan behind her. The Moon Empress greeted them.
The three of them knew of Lin Yuan but did not know why the Moon Empress had brought her disciple with her. It was not suitable to have a junior present at such a meeting!
From their expressions, the Moon Empress could tell that the Heavenly Family Cottage had not told them about Lin Yuan.
The Moon Empress did not walk in immediately. Instead, she solemnly introduced Lin Yuan to the three of them. "This is my disciple, Lin Yuan. He will be the one having the discussion with you today."
The three leaders' faces fell. The Moon Empress' words sounded like she was not taking them seriously or joking.
They were about to discuss the collaboration between their faction and the humans in light of the impending catastrophe. Yet, they would have to conduct their discussion with such a young man!
What did the Moon Empress mean by this?
Normally, the three of them would have immediately flown into a fit of rage. They might have even declared the Radiance Federation to be an enemy.
This treatment was akin to one showing genuine sincerity when visiting a prestigious family, only to be greeted by a trivial member of the family. This crossed the line!
Alas, the Vast Sea Labyrinth needed to ask the Radiance Federation for help. As such, the three of them were in no position to throw a tantrum.
The three of them calmly met the Moon Empress' eyes before they each reached out their hands to Lin Yuan.
The well-built man with black scales on his face was the first to extend his arm. "My name is Ice Wave. I am one of the Vast Sea Labyrinth's leaders. These two are my younger brothers. This is Ice Flow, and this is Ice Clarity."
Lin Yuan smiled as he shook Ice Wave's hand before doing the same with Ice Flow and Ice Clarity.
Next, he took out three brocade boxes and handed one to each of them. "The Radiance Federation hasn't been able to make contact with the Vast Sea Labyrinth because we have been much too busy recently. This is a gift from the Radiance Federation to our friends and also a small gesture from Master and me."
The three of them felt less aggravated when they heard what Lin Yuan said. They realized Lin Yuan was no normal human young man. Otherwise, he would not have been able to say something like that.
It would not be polite for them to open the brocade boxes in front of those who had gifted them to them.
Ice Wave, Ice Clarity, and Ice Flow stored the brocade boxes away before they thanked Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress.
Frankly, the three of them did not think much of the contents of the brocade boxes.
They might have a higher regard for these gifts if they had come from the Moon Empress. But since the young man had prepared them, they likely contained some spiritual ingredients or potions concocted by Creation Masters.
Once Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress were seated, Ice Wave did not beat around the bush and immediately brought up the Vast Sea Labyrinth's problem.
There was no need to hide such a matter.
If the Radiance Federation truly intended to help the Vast Sea Labyrinth with their issue, they would do so immediately after he brought it up. But if they never wanted to help the Vast Sea Labyrinth in the first place, it would not matter what he said.
In the face of such a disaster, every second was tied to the survival of many sea lifeforms. If the Radiance Federation was unwilling to help, the Vast Sea Labyrinth could make other preparations as soon as possible rather than being sitting ducks.
In actuality, Ice Wave believed that with the Moon Empress' intelligence, she would already have deduced their reason for coming.
The Moon Empress broke out in a cold sweat when she heard about the sea clans' situation.
Ice Wave spoke with extreme sincerity and did not try to hide anything about the problem that the sea clans were facing.
If she had not already spoken with Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress would have no way of helping the sea clans and would have no choice but to disappoint Ice Wave.
The sea clans were in a much tougher situation than the humans were in.
As Ice Wave had said, all lifeforms in the main world lived in the sea from the first to third epoch.
But now that Lin Yuan could combine the five dimensional worlds with the main world, there would be sufficient space in the water world to house all the sea clans.
The Moon Empress did not see this meeting as a deliberation with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
This was firstly because the Vast Sea Labyrinth had already shown sufficient sincerity. They did not need to try and gain the upper hand over the Vast Sea Labyrinth. Secondly, there was nothing that Vast Sea Labyrinth could do to force Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan purely wanted to help all the sea clans and rescue the entire main world.
This was why the Moon Empress had allowed Lin Yuan to take the lead in this discussion.
If she intended to deliberate, the Moon Empress would have helped Lin Yuan to make contact with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Lin Yuan coughed softly. This cough struck Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity. The three of them knew that this cough and this young man's response could determine the fate of all the sea clans.
The three of them all felt a sense of foreboding.
This young man's expression had not changed in the slightest after hearing what they said. He did not seem to be mulling over the pros and cons of helping them.
Could it be that the Moon Empress had predicted they would be asking for help and was unwilling to make a decision herself for fear of hurting the relationship between the Radiance Federation and the Vast Sea Labyrinth? Thus, she was pushing her disciple to make the decision instead?
Ice Wave took a deep breath. He had anticipated a result where the Moon Empress refused to help them.
The Radiance Federation didn't need to help the Vast Sea Labyrinth, and this would not be easy help to provide either.
Even if the Radiance Federation refused to help, Ice Wave had no intention of recalling the Island Whales.
It would be better not to go back on his word!
They did not currently have any other use for the Island Whales as the sea clans did not need to use them for transportation.
Ice Flow and Ice Clarity had the same thoughts as Ice Wave.
Since the three of them had already prepared themselves for the worst, their first emotion after hearing what Lin Yuan said was not happiness. Rather, it was disbelief!
"You have guessed right. The Radiance Federation has indeed taken control of the subterranean world and can allocate the Land Imps. But based on what you have said, I don't think sending the Land Imps into the sea to lay down the metal-type stone boards is the best course of action.
"The seabed is much harder than land. The Land Imps are afraid of water and can't work properly at the bottom of the sea. As opposed to this plan, there are better ways to protect the sea clans."
Ice Flow, Ice Clarity, and Ice Wave blinked a few times.
Although this young man had not explicitly agreed to help, he did say there were better ways to protect the sea clans.
Ice Clarity, the most anxious of them, hurriedly asked, "What do you have in mind? There are tens of millions of lifeforms living in the sea. It won't be easy to protect all of them! If there isn't a place where the sea clans can be sheltered from the dead spirits' invasion, they will eventually be swallowed by the dead spirits."
Although Ice Clarity had an impulsive streak, he had highlighted the key issue the sea clans were facing.
His words reminded Lin Yuan there would be no way to solve the sea clans' issue if they could not find a safe haven for them.
Normally, Ice Flow was the one who liaised with other factions on the Vast Sea Labyrinth's behalf. He knew that humans liked to leverage whatever advantage they had.
Ice Flow thought that Lin Yuan would also try to corner them. Yet, he said, "The sea clans are asking for too little. A safe haven won't be enough to keep them safe from the dead spirits crisis.
"Besides the subterranean world, the Radiance Federation has also taken control of the water world. We have a way to combine the water world with the main world. All the sea clans can move into the water world. At that time, due to the water world's lack of ley lines that have been infected by death aura, we can build defenses there.
"Additionally, the Dictators, Apostles, and other dimensional worlds in the water world can also become the sea clans' companions and help them fend off the dead spirits' invasion. Does my plan meet your satisfaction?"
Lin Yuan had spoken in a straightforward manner. Even someone dim-witted could understand him.
However, his words went beyond the three brothers' comprehension. All at once, astonishment, excitement, and exhilaration rushed into their heads, causing them to feel dizzy!
If what this young man said was true, all their problems would be solved!
The sea clans would be able to live in the water world.
They had also encountered water world dimensional rifts in the past.
At that time, the water world dimensional lifeforms and sea clans were bitter enemies. But now, they were about to become comrades.
Although the three brothers were shocked, they did not think the Radiance Federation was lying.
The Moon Empress was sitting right here, and she had not rebuked anything her disciple had said.
If the Radiance Federation had any intention of lying to the sea clans, it would be pointless and result in the sea clans eventually seeking revenge on them. The sea clans would never accept being lied to!
Ice Wave, Ice Flow, and Ice Clarity forcefully composed themselves before they thanked the Moon Empress and Lin Yuan and asked, "How does the Radiance Federation intend to combine the main world with the water world? Will we need to do anything during this process?"
Lin Yuan did some calculations before he said, "About 15 days later, the other federations will have migrated to the Radiance Federation's vicinity. At that time, the Radiance Federation will combine the main world with the dimensional worlds.
You can start relocating the sea clans to the Radiance Federation immediately. This will help more sea clans reach the Radiance Federation before the crisis of the dead spirits occurs. Ensuring this is the primary task for the sea clans.
"After merging the water world with the main world, I will arrange for the two main factions of the water world, Grace Sacred Hall and Mermaid Forbidden Sea, to establish contact with you.
So far, everything that Lin Yuan had done had been in secret. Once he was done weaponizing the Radiance Federation, he became assured.
There was no way they could hide the migration of the federations from Tower Canon.
Tower Canon's inaction meant they cared more about triggering the start of the Sleeper's Revival plan than stopping the migration.
Since they could not hide this from Tower Canon, they could cause as large of a commotion as possible.
Even if Tower Canon tried to take action against them, they would not be able to know what to do immediately.
Lin Yuan was racing against Tower Canon for time. He could also use this time before the dead spirits crisis began to find more information about Epoch God Palace.
As feys and the Vast Sea Labyrinth's leaders, Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity had very long lifespans. They likely knew more about Epoch God Palace than Eighth Page Apoptosis did!
Chapter 2640 Red Thorn Evolves!
Lin Yuan said solemnly to the three of them, "I want to ask you a question. I hope you will tell me the answer if you know it!"
Ice Wave, Ice Clarity, and Ice Flow all pulled serious expressions.
With how grave Lin Yuan's expression was, the three of them would respond with utmost seriousness regardless of what his question was.
Ice Flow was the least calm of the three, but his brain was also the most active one!
He had already sensed the Moon Empress had not sent her disciple to lead the meeting with the Vast Sea Labyrinth because she wanted him to be the one to make the tough decisionsโhe had the capabilities to head such a meeting.
Although Purple Love had not spoken much about Lin Yuan, Ice Flow had heard about him from his wife.
The person on the best terms with the Heavenly Family Cottage was actually not the Moon Empress but someone close to her. It was likely that this referred to Lin Yuan!
Ice Flow was aware of the Moon Empress' abilities. She had awoken her birth horoscope not long ago, and the Sacred Cry Moon Beast had only just reached Above Eternal. If she could, she would have already tried to take down the Freedom Federation long ago rather than waiting until now!
All the changes to the Radiance Federation that began two years ago happened to coincide with the time the Moon Empress took in her disciple.
With this thought, a chill ran up Ice Flow's back when he looked at Lin Yuan again. Once this thought formed, Ice Flow only became increasingly certain it was the truth.
When Ice Wave heard what Lin Yuan said, he said seriously, "If it is something I know about, I will definitely lay it all out on the table without holding anything back! Feel free to ask whatever you want! Even if the matter concerns the Vast Sea Labyrinth's deepest secrets, I will reveal them to you!"
As such, Lin Yuan asked softly, "Have you heard of Epoch God Palace?"
Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity's expressions all changed when they heard this question. They had indeed heard of Epoch God Palace.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth held a deep history, and their privileges stemmed from ancestors. Despite never encountering Epoch God Palace directly, its existence was recorded in their ancient texts. It was a mysterious and fearsome organization. When they communicated with them, they couldn't fully grasp the Epoch God Palace's capabilities.
Records also suggested that Tower Canon once clashed with Epoch God Palace, attempting to steal their time-related artifact. But an Epoch God Palace leader intervened, and that generation of Tower Canon's Eight Pages vanished.
Among the vanished, First Page Crimson reappeared unexpectedly, catching everyone's attention, especially Ice Wave's. He had witnessed First Page Crimson's formidable power during a previous interaction. This drove him to study Tower Canon's history through ancient records, gaining his current knowledge.
Ice Wave shared all this with Lin Yuan, confirming Lin Yuan's suspicions. First Page Crimson belonged to Tower Canon's initial Eight Pages.
This confirmation hinted that the initial Eight Pages, who controlled the dead world, had come from the Sky Beyond the Clouds for an unknown reason.
It was likely that this applied to Epoch God Palace as well!
However, Lin Yuan could not shake the feeling that Epoch God Palace was not safe. There was a high possibility that Epoch God Palace would become an even more difficult enemy to deal with than Tower Canon!
Luckily, he had uncovered Tower Canon's plan. However, he did not have a single clue about Epoch God Palace's plans or goals!
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan was sure they were working toward a goal. Otherwise, they would not have remained hidden and waiting in a corner of the main world for so long.
Now that he was confident he would be able to tackle the dead spirits crisis, Lin Yuan decided to begin searching Epoch God Palace's experts and make contact with them!
He had heard about a fight between Epoch God Palace and Tower Canon from Ice Wave. This alone was enough.
After answering Lin Yuan's question, Ice Wave seemed to muster up an immense amount of determination before he told Lin Yuan about the deal he had made with Tower Canon in the past.
Ice Wave felt much more relaxed after confessing his mistake.
The Moon Empress knitted her brow when he heard what Ice Wave said.
He had helped Tower Canon to collect death aura from the bottom of the sea, and it was because of this large amount of death aura that the Sleeper's Revival plan was able to commence smoothly.
Lin Yuan also frowned. But his brow relaxed quickly.
Firstly, he knew that removing a large amount of death aura from a piece of land would be beneficial for the lifeforms that lived on it. Ice Wave had made that decision because he was a true king of the sea clans and was trying to improve their quality of life.
Furthermore, Tower Canon's plan had been shrouded in secrecy, and Ice Wave had not been aware of it. His only crime would be carelessness and neglecting to check thoroughly.
Even if he had not made the deal with Tower Canon, the latter would have found another way to gather the death aura from the bottom of the sea.
There were also a few of the Radiance Federation's 32 major cities that had their death aura unknowingly drained.
Ice Wave could have hidden what he had done from the Radiance Federation but chose to reveal it of his own accord. This was enough to prove his sincerity in working with the Radiance Federation.
"What has passed has passed. I only hope that going forward, the Vast Sea Labyrinth will do its best in the war against the dead spirits. We have discussed all that we need to discuss.
"Why don't we leave the details for later, once you are done relocating the sea clans? The Radiance Federation will help the sea clans defend against the dead spirits! Not only will we supply you with Land Imps, but we'll provide you with resources as well."
Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity looked deeply into Lin Yuan's eyes. He had not mentioned anything about profits at all. He was purely trying to use his abilities to save the sea clans and help them overcome this crisis!
This magnanimity caused the three of them to feel extremely ashamed!
After the three of them left, the Moon Empress looked at Lin Yuan with gratification.
It turned out that this was how he conducted deliberations!
From Lin Yuan's interactions with the Vast Sea Labyrinth's three rulers, the Moon Empress got a sense of how Lin Yuan interacted with others during his path of growth, especially with the Dictators from the dimensional worlds.
It was at that moment the Moon Empress realized that Lin Yuan was smiling.
She was rather curious. What was there to be happy about now?
Lin Yuan heard Red Thorn asking him which part of its body it should evolve. It only asked this question when it was about to evolve its grade.
Among all of Lin Yuan's feys, Red Thorn's evolution was the slowest. It had been stuck at Platinum IX/Fantasy V for three months with no signs of evolving to Diamond grade.
But in actuality, Red Thorn's power had far exceeded its expected potential!
A Platinum/Fantasy V source-type lifeform could use the Tongue of Relinquish to control an Afterlife Realm corpse and wield it as a living weapon. Not even Platinum feys possessed such abilities!
Moreover, Red Thorn was now a pinnacle six-winged fairy and was showing signs of evolving to eight wings.
If Red Thorn could grow a fourth pair of wings when it evolved to Diamond grade, it would be able to set a new record in history for fairy source-type lifeforms.
"Master, I have a fey that is about to evolve. I need to find a wide and quiet place. Once I have helped it to evolve its power, I will go with Ice Wave and the rest to the Vast Sea Labyrinth. The sea clans are supplying the Island Whales to help us humans with our migration. I am going to help them to repay them!"
The Moon Empress nodded before raising her hand and helping him to adjust his collar again.
"Since becoming a Class 6 Creation Master, I have made achievements of my own in the past year. I have nurtured a special fey that can increase the amount of spirit qi that spirit qi professionals can contain in their bodies. It will be able to help spirit qi professionals promote their spirit qi professional rank quicker.
"After nurturing this fey once by accident, I haven't been able to nurture a second one, even using the same method. Once you return, you can form a contract with this fey. From then on, you will no longer be hindered by your spirit qi professional rank!"
Lin Yuan looked delighted when he heard what the Moon Empress said.
It could be said that the only thing holding Lin Yuan back was the promotion of his spirit qi professional ๐pdated novels on n(o)v. ๐
After he contracted this fey, his spirit qi professional rank would reach S at least while the dead spirits crisis was going on.
From then on, the evolution of the grades of Lin Yuan's feys would no longer be limited!
Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony with the Moon Empress. A fey that could help a spirit qi professional to increase their rank faster would not be of much use to an expert like the Moon Empress.
"Master, that will be a big help to me! The promotion of my spirit qi professional rank is what I am lacking the most now!"
The Moon Empress was very glad she could help Lin Yuan.
She reached out and patted the hair on top of Lin Yuan's head.
"Little Yuan, I know that even with the impending dead spirits crisis, your power will not fall back to the level of the Radiance Federation. But remember to always keep your movements hidden, no matter where you are! Tower Canon's Eight Pages will definitely be watching you at all times. Don't give them the chance to target you! I will be waiting in the Radiance Federation until you return."
Lin Yuan nodded at the Moon Empress before transporting himself through Node Transportation to a remote area outside of Ascending Dragon City.
This was not the same place where Morbius had increased its power.
Morbius' evolution had caused far too much commotion. Lin Yuan had been afraid that Morbius' large amount of World Grace would catch the attention of the higher beings in other worlds and cause them to zero in on the main world.
When Begin Lady and Celestial Sight underwent their Heaven's Trials, Lin Yuan had confirmed that the Heaven's Trials were controlled by those higher lifeforms!
Lin Yuan composed himself and summoned Red Thorn, fairy form and original body.
Lin Yuan had not looked at Red Thorn's data in a long time, and he used True Data on it.

When the Tongues of Relinquish pierce a target, the tip of the tongue can be cut off and left in the target's body. While the target remains alive, the tip of the tongue will control the target's spirit and soul. After the target dies, the tip of the tongue can control and manipulate the target to make it appear as though it was still alive.
[Brutal Carnivore Vine: The vines contained digestive fluids that grew in midair, and the sharp teeth on the inner side of the vine could grind off and collect flesh and blood energy.
[Eye of Relinquish: Eyes formed by using blood and flesh energy. Each eye contains a huge amount of blood and flesh energy. When the number of Eyes of Relinquish on every Mouth of Relinquish is maintained below 60, they are merely able to store energy. When the number of Eyes of Relinquish is above 60, those Eyes of Relinquish that are above 60 can be turned into an energy ray at any time.
[Sea of Flowers State Transition: By quickly using up the stored-up energy, the sea of flowers' child ramets' attacking power and mobility can be improved several times. The child ramets' weapons will also morph in a way that increases their functionality.
[Demon Spirit Curse Kill: Whenever any of the ortet's ramets touched an enemy target and breaks through a target's defense, the target will be cursed. Every curse carries a negative effect that would be stacked with every additional attack.
Exclusive Skill:
[Spore Growth: Spits a huge amount of spores, which can absorb the energy or flesh energy supplied by Red Thorn, out of its spore cavity to quickly grow ramets and child ramets that are controlled by the ortet.
[Wither Glory: Red Thorn can rapidly absorb the energy from the soil and pour the energy into the sea of flowers. As long as the soil has the roots of the child ramets and ramets, the withered sea of flowers would reach its prime state.
Lin Yuan stared at Red Thorn's data for a moment. He felt it had reached the pinnacle of capabilities for a lifeform that fought by establishing a land formation and expanding it.
There was no other way in which Red Thorn's sea of flowers could be improved.
Even if Lin Yuan found a minute detail and tried to evolve it, its benefit would be negligible.
Given the circumstances, Lin Yuan felt he should pivot away from evolving Red Thorn's sea of flowers.
Since Red Thorn could control the Abyss Great Emperor through the Tongue of Relinquish, Lin Yuan felt he could evolve that part during Red Thorn's next evolution!
Chapter 2641 Tongue Pouch Births Demons
While Lin Yuan was increasing Red Thorn's power, he never stopped thinking about what the best method would be. It did not take long for him to arrive at an answer.
However, Lin Yuan did not know whether the abilities and boost that Red Thorn received from the evolution of the Tongue of Relinquish would meet his expectations.
Red Thorn's Tongue of Relinquish could control other lifeforms because it had swallowed the seed in Ji Feng's body.
The seed came from a plant called the Gardener Konjac. At that time, Lin Yuan did not know where the Gardener Konjac came from. But slowly, he became certain it came from the dead world that was still largely foreign to the main world.
The Gardener Konjac was a dimensional lifeform that Second Page Revival had been actively nurturing. But for an unknown reason, Second Page Revival later disappeared.
According to Eighth Page Apoptosis, Second Page Revival had disappeared around the time she went with Sixth Page Lashing to a joint operation with the Freedom Federation envoy group to the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan had already asked the Moon Empress and confirmed that Second Page Revival's disappearance was not related to the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan always found this to be strange.
Although the Tongue of Relinquish's abilities came from the Gardener Konjac, its power now fully came from the corpses it controlled like the Abyss Great Emperor. It did not actually have much to do with the Gardener Konjac's genes!
The main reason was that Red Thornb had raised the Gardener Konjac's abilities.
Otherwise, why did the Gardener Konjac only have so few top experts under its control when it was in Second Page Revival's hands? Why did it only control emperor-class experts with Myth Breed feys like Ji Feng?
Lin Yuan wanted to strengthen Red Thorn's Tongue of Relinquish because he wanted to see the extent to which Red Thorn could raise the Gardener Konjac's genes.
Lin Yuan reached out and halted the flying Red Thorn before saying seriously, "Red Thorn, I know you have been waiting for this day for a long time and that you have accumulated enough power. When you evolve to Diamond grade, choose to evolve your Tongue of Relinquish!
"While you are evolving, I will instruct someone to provide your main body with a large number of corpses so you can replenish your vitality. I have already extracted a significant amount of pure wood-elemental energy from the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies' larvae.
"I will feed you the wood-elemental energy as well as the almost 1,000 units of pure fairy bloodlines supplied by the Goddess of Mercy!
"The Goddess of Mercy caused too much bloodshed while trying to obtain these fairy bloodlines. When you absorb them, create a new history for the fairy species, and bring glory to them, you will have made those deaths worth it!"
Red Thorn nodded earnestly.
Normally, there was nothing that Red Thorn liked more than to cling to Lin Yuan. It rarely acted as seriously as this.
When Red Thorn found out that the Goddess of Mercy had been nurturing fairies to kill them and turn them into toys once they were fully grown, it immediately started to hate the Goddess of Mercy.
It had been keeping this fury to itself and had not expressed it to Lin Yuan.
No lifeform would not become enraged by the knowledge that someone was killing its kind and turning them into toys.
This contributed to Lin Yuan's decision not to keep the Goddess of Mercy by his side and send her to the water world to live with the other mermaids instead.
"Yuan, I do not need so many fairy bloodlines for my evolution. I sense that I will need less than 300 fairy bloodlines to reach eight wings. After I evolve to eight wings and reach that gate, I will need to accumulate power for some time before my bloodline can experience another breakthrough.
"During that time, the remaining fairy bloodlines can go to Silver Corona, Elegance, Brocade Zither, and the rest! 3
"Brocade Zither does not have much potential, and it would have been difficult for it to become a four-winged fairy. But after living in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and being nourished by the pure spirit qi for a prolonged period, as well as absorbing a significant amount of energy from the Pure Land of Bliss, it can now evolve to four wings. All it needs now is an opportunity! If it absorbs a few units of fairy bloodlines, it will be able to evolve into a four-winged fairy!"
Usually, Red Thorn rarely interacted with Brocade Zither. However, it did look out for Brocade Zither.
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded. "Red Thorn, I can supply you with as many fairy bloodlines as you need. Just relax and evolve!"
Red Thorn flew to the center of the three Mouths of Relinquish and wrapped its body with its three pairs of wings before falling into slumber.
Soon, explosive roaring noises could be heard within the three large Mouths of Relinquish. The roaring resembled that of the eruption of a small volcano.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and released 30 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators before instructing them to take Diamond fey storage boxes to Red Thorn's Mouths of Relinquish to supply it with the corpses of dimensional lifeforms.
Normally, Lin Yuan only fed the corpses of Class 5 and 6 dimensional lifeforms to Red Thorn. However, the Platinum Red Thorn could already consume Class 7 to 8 dimensional lifeforms that were the equivalent of Myth Breed feys!
Numerous dimensional lifeforms died in the dimensional worlds daily, and Lin Yuan had intentionally collected all of them.
This not only provided Red Thorn with good quality food, but Lin Yuan also did not need to kill whenever he needed to feed Red ๐pdated novels on n(o)v. ๐
When the corpses filled with blood energy entered the Mouths of Relinquish, the sounds coming from the three furnace-like Mouths of Relinquish became even more uproarious.
Each time the Mouth of Relinquish contracted and expanded, it grew larger.
As the Mouth of Relinquish had a relatively flat shape, it did not seem tall. However, it was around the size of a small sports stadium.
The Eye of Relinquish did not become much larger as it was not the focus of the evolution like the Mouth of Relinquish was. Nonetheless, it still became larger and brighter. It was clear that it now stored much more energy than it did in the past!
The roaring noises lasted for almost five hours before they stopped. As the Tongue of Relinquish was currently wrapped up in the Mouth of Relinquish, Lin Yuan could not see its current state.
But as the Mouth of Relinquish opened and closed, Lin Yuan saw that there was a pouch-like item below the Tongue of Relinquish.
Lin Yuan walked into the part where the three Mouths of Relinquish met.
Lin Yuan had just instructed the 30 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to feed the fairy bloodlines and wood-elemental energy to Red Thorn.
When he arrived at the part where the three Mouths of Relinquish met, he saw that Red Thorn had grown another pair of wings just as he had predicted. However, this set of wings seemed to be extremely premature.
Lin Yuan was not a fairy, so he could sense that Red Thorn's bloodline had evolved. Still, he could not tell if it had any influence over other fairies.
Silver Corona was not with him. Otherwise, he would use Silver Corona as a test subject.
Lin Yuan used Morbius to check on Red Thorn.
[Fey Name: Red Thorn (Eight-Winged Fairy) (Thousand Eyes Relinquish)
[Fey Species: Rafflesia genus/fairy species
[Fey Grade: Diamond (1/10)
[Fey Type: Source/Wood
[Fey Quality: Fantasy V
Abilities:
[Mouth of Relinquish: Secretes vigorous digestive fluids with powerful corrosive properties, allowing a faster speed to absorb the energy in the food. The Tongue of Relinquish inside the mouth is able to increase the digestion speed by several times. It can also secrete a special corrosive fluid from the flesh and blood that it consumed.

[Tongue Pouch Births Demons: When a corpse is being consumed, it can be stored in the tongue pouch and nurtured. If the corpse's power is intact, it can be nurtured into a special lifeform that contains a fairy Its previous power will be retained, and its power can also be increased when tempered by blood energy.
Exclusive Skill:
[Spore Growth: Spits a huge amount of spores, which can absorb the energy or flesh energy supplied by Red Thorn, out of its spore cavity to quickly grow ramets and child ramets controlled by the ortet.
[Wither Glory: Red Thorn can rapidly absorb the energy from the soil and pour the energy into the sea of flowers. As long as the soil has the roots of the child ramets and ramets, the withered sea of flowers would reach its prime state.
Currently, Red Thorn had evolved to Diamond I, but its quality had not changed. Nonetheless, after reaching eight wings, its abilities had all been strengthened!
Given that it had chosen to evolve the Tongue of Relinquish, it gained a new ability called Tongue Pouch Births Demons.
In spite of his wealth of experience, Lin Yuan still could not help but slap his leg out of excitement when he saw Tongue Pouch Births Demons.
Tongue Pouch Births Demons significantly increased the Tongue of Relinquish's ability to control corpses.
The Tongue of Relinquish took control of corpses by inserting its tongue tip into the corpses. The tongue tip would then fix up the corpse before activating its cells and manipulating its movement.
Now that the Tongue of Relinquish had evolved, Tongue Pouch Births Demons could store a corpse in its tongue pouch and nurture a lifeform with a fairy bloodline.
The lifeform would also retain all the abilities from when it was alive. Just like a living lifeform, it could also be nurtured to increase its power while it was inside the tongue pouch. This made it no different from a living lifeform.
Although the corpses in the tongue pouches would still be dead entities that Red Thorn controlled, their powers could continue to increase!
The Abyss Great Emperor was currently Lin Yuan's strongest powerhouse. But it fell short of Eternal Source because he could continuously increase his power while the Abyss Great Emperor could not.
But now, the Abyss Great Emperor also had the chance to increase its power.
At that moment, Red Thorn woke up and started flapping its four pairs of wings.
Red Thorn sensed its new pair of wings before it dove into Lin Yuan's arms.
There was nothing that fairies prioritized more than their bloodlines, and Red Thorn was no exception.
However, Lin Yuan did not know that Red Thorn was not only happy because of its bloodline. It was also largely related to Silver Corona.
Previously, Red Thorn and Silver Corona were six-winged fairies. Although Red Thorn's bloodline was slightly more elite than Silver Corona's, it could not exert much influence over Silver Corona. Thus, it could not chase Silver Corona away from Lin Yuan's side.
This always triggered Red Thorn's possessiveness.
But now that it had eight wings, it could use its bloodline to overcome Silver Corona's bloodline.
Red Thorn did not know why it always had the uncontrollable urge to compare itself with Silver Corona when they were actually on good terms.
It was because they had extremely similar abilities and could produce seas of flowers.
Silver Corona was also highly favored by Lin Yuan in the beginning, and he had used Shatter Spatial Stones to open up tens of dimensional rifts for it.
Red Thorn had been rolling in jealousy for some time!
Red Thorn said softly, "Yuan, I can use my tongue pouches to nurture promising corpses in the future! Every Tongue of Relinquish will be able to grow two tongue pouches at the most. The tongue pouches can be used as long as they are empty.
"Moreover, there isn't a limit on the corpses being controlled. But the stronger the corpse, the more time it will take for the tongue pouch to transform it!"
With feys like the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom and Source Sand, which did not have high intelligence, Lin Yuan always needed to deduce their abilities after each evolution through True Data.
But with fairies like Red Thorn, which were even more intelligent than humans, the latter would volunteer answers to Lin Yuan's questions.
It was not easy for Lin Yuan to find any more strong corpses from the main world unless he killed the real Eight Pages of Tower Canon.
But once he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, it was likely that there would be powerful experts abound.
Before Red Thorn grew the tongue pouches, the World Emperor experts that it controlled using its tongue tips could be easily recognized by experts they had ties to. Once they were recognized, Lin Yuan would be targeted by the experts' kin.
Luckily, with the tongue pouches, Lin Yuan did not need to worry about that anymore.
Chapter 2642 Opening of the Five Black Coffins!
Once the corpses were nurtured, they would become lifeforms similar to fairies.
This would increase the number of standardized experts that Lin Yuan controlled.
In a nutshell, Tongue Pouch Births Demons could be used to create a species out of the experts' corpses!
Moreover, the species of corpses that Red Thorn created would become even stronger weapons than the alien insects!
The alien insects could use the bloodlines of other species to strengthen themselves but could not attain the abilities of the species they took over.
If Lin Yuan's sights were still restrained to the main world, he would not be this elated about Red Thorn attaining Tongue Pouch Births Demons.
But now that his sights were set on the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he realized that many of his feys' abilities and exclusive skills would become extremely useful!
Lin Yuan pulled himself back to reality. Regardless of how much he was looking forward to heading to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the most important matters he needed to address now were dealing with Tower Canon, helping the main world to overcome their dead spirits crisis, and carrying them through the sixth epoch.
"Red Thorn, how long will it take for you to use the tongue pouch to transform the Abyss Great Emperor?"
Given that Red Thorn controlled the Abyss Great Emperor, it completely understood his circumstances.
Red Thorn fell silent momentarily before replying, "Yuan, it will take me at least three months to transform the Abyss Great Emperor. After all, I am still only Diamond grade. My bloodline might have reached eight wings, but the effects of my abilities are still strongly correlated to my grade!
"However, you can still use the Abyss Great Emperor even while I'm transforming him in the tongue pouch. He can continue to protect and fight for you."
Lin Yuan's happiness showed on his face, and he said, "Red Thorn, why don't you use the tongue pouch to transform the Abyss Great Emperor now? I am looking forward to seeing what he becomes three months later!"
Red Thorn snapped its fingers and ordered the Abyss Great Emperor to enter one of the Mouths of Relinquish.
Once the Abyss Great Emperor fully entered the Mouth of Relinquish, the tongue pouch closed around him.
Red Thorn stuck out its tongue and said softly, "However, after transforming the Abyss Great Emperor, he might look rather strange the next time you summon him."
Lin Yuan shook his head to indicate he did not care. As long as the Abyss Great Emperor did not become weaker, he did not care what he looked like.
Now, Lin Yuan did not have any more feys that needed to be evolved for the foreseeable future.
He had told the Vast Sea Labyrinth's three leaders he would be heading there.
Ice Wave needed to oversee the entire operation of migrating the sea clans. Ice Clarity was rather impulsive and would not be appropriate for working with Lin Yuan. Hence, Ice Wave assigned the task of receiving Lin Yuan to Ice Flow.
Ice Flow had also been the one who first interacted with the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan and Ice Flow arranged to meet at the harbor in Ascending Dragon City.
Ever since Lin Yuan contracted the Ethereal Jellyfish, he began placing its tentacles all over the Radiance Federation to create spatial nodes. These spatial nodes were not meant to be used solely by Lin Yuan but were also for the convenience of all of Sky City's core members.
Lin Yuan transported himself to the seaside outside of Ascending Dragon City, and it was not long before he saw Ice Flow waiting for him in human form.
Ice Flow's facial features were very elegant, and his long black hair looked rather out of place. Nonetheless, none of the people around noticed he was a fey in human form.
Ice Flow reached out his hand and greeted Lin Yuan with a smile, "Thank you for being willing to come with me to help the sea clans."
Lin Yuan smiled back at Ice Flow to say 'you are welcome'.
From Morbius, Lin Yuan could see that Ice Flow was a pinnacle spirit-fire expert and was only a small step away from reaching World Emperor and the divine kingdom. He was much stronger than the Mirror God and God of Fools!
Lin Yuan did not know much about how much power the Spacetime Elder had and could not make a comparison to him.
But it was possible that Ice Flow was the strongest expert in the main world below the World Emperor and divine-kingdom level.
When he met Ice Flow and the other leaders of the Vast Sea Labyrinth, they talked the most about the issues they were about to face. The Vast Sea Labyrinth had been desperate for the Radiance Federation's help. As such, at the time, Lin Yuan had not asked about the Vast Sea Labyrinth's upd๐ted ๐ovels on n๐ /m
Lin Yuan stood next to Ice Flow and looked out at the sea as he asked, "How many pinnacle spirit-fire experts like you does the Vast Sea Labyrinth have? Does the Vast Sea Labyrinth have World Emperor and divine kingdom experts?"
Ice Flow froze when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He instinctively felt that Lin Yuan's question was rather inappropriate as it involved the Vast Sea Labyrinth's core secrets.
However, after considering the relationship between the Vast Sea Labyrinth and the Radiance Federation, Ice Flow decided to answer Lin Yuan's question. However, he was soon stunned by the latter part of what Lin Yuan said.
He heard Lin Yuan mention the World Emperor and divine-kingdom level. Were these the levels above High Sovereign and the spirit-fire level?
This was the first time Ice Flow learned about the terms for the levels above spirit fire.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth's legacy went back much further than that of the humans.
Every generation of the Vast Sea Labyrinth had been recorded in the Coral Records. So, one only needed to look through the Coral Records to learn about the Vast Sea Labyrinth's entire legacy.
There was no mention of the World Emperor and divine-kingdom level at all in Vast Sea Labyrinth's legacy.
Ice Flow wondered, Can it be that humans already have such experts?
As overwhelmed as he was feeling, Ice Flow still appeared extremely calm and said seriously to Lin Yuan, "There are a total of 14 spirit-fire experts in the Vast Sea Labyrinth. We don't have a single World Emperor and divine-kingdom level expert!"
Lin Yuan was startled.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth truly lived up to their role as the rulers of the sea. It turned out that they had 14 spirit-fire experts! These were pinnacle spirit-fire experts to boot!
The first Major Federation Union meeting had commenced smoothly. Presently, there were only four known human spirit-fire experts. There was one in the Radiance Federation, two in the Freedom Federation, and one from the Azure Federation.
The sea clans had more than three times the number of spirit-fire experts than the humans!
They did not need to bother comparing their number of birth-horoscope experts!
Lin Yuan took a deep breath. It was no wonder that the Vast Sea Labyrinth had never bothered to take the human factions seriously. They were indeed powerful enough to sneer at the human factions on land.
While Lin Yuan was digesting his amazement and shock, Ice Flow said softly, "I am sorry if this is rude, but may I ask if the humans already have World Emperor and divine-kingdom level experts?"
Lin Yuan did not respond to Ice Flow's question immediately. He controlled Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor, who were Afterlife Realm Dictators. Their power was equivalent to that of World Emperor and divine kingdom-level experts.
However, neither of them were humans.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan was human.
Lin Yuan looked into Ice Flow's eyes, and they glinted as he said, "To be honest, I have two subordinates of that level!
"When we head to the Vast Sea Labyrinth together, I will send around 100 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators that are the equivalent of Above Eternal feys to summon ocean currents and help you with your migration.
"I can also open a Space Tunnel that will allow the sea clans to enter the marsh world, where they can remain for some time. Once I release the sea clans into the marsh world, they will be able to relocate to the Radiance Federation's sea.
"However, if you organize the migration on your own, only the powerful lifeforms will be successfully relocated. The weak lifeforms will definitely end up losing their lives to the dead spirits crisis! I didn't mention this previously, but it's not too late to bring it up now."
Lin Yuan did not stop walking while he spoke.
He looked around and saw that everyone on the harbor looked concerned and anxious.
Usually, when they faced disasters, the Radiance Federation's royalty preferred to take the full brunt of the effects on their own and did not want to affect the weaker spirit qi professionals and regular people.
But during this disaster that triggered the changing of epochs, the Radiance Federation's royalty decided after much contemplation not to keep it under wraps and reveal the situation to all of the Radiance citizens. This was so they could all make their own preparations and receive this calamity together.
The Radiance Federation's royalty made this decision because they were all aware they could not handle this crisis on their own. It would require the combined efforts of all the Radiance citizens!
Currently, the Radiance citizens were all accumulating resources in order to take on the impending disaster.
The harbor was much more crowded than usual. But these were just people gathered together. None of them were showing any interest in chatting with each other while they were moving resources. This was a silent crowd full of bottled-up emotion.
Lin Yuan could not help but sigh. He had already done all he could to help the Radiance Federation with this crisis. There was nothing else he could do!
Ice Flow had frozen in his steps when he heard what Lin Yuan said. But he quickly snapped out of his trance and caught up with Lin Yuan.
Ice Flow solemnly told Lin Yuan, "Thank you for all you are doing for the sea clans. If we are able to tide over this crisis, the sea clans will do whatever you ask of us!"
Lin Yuan did not say anything. He knew that Ice Flow was not making empty promises but could not take Ice Flow seriously.
Firstly, he did not know how long it would take for the dead spirits crisis to pass. Secondly, Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity could make promises with short-term repercussions, but the same could not be said for long-term promises!
But given Lin Yuan's current situation, there was no way he would need help from the sea clans.
"Let's go. We can talk about other matters in the future."
Lin Yuan had walked to the end of the harbor and raised a leg to walk into the sea.
Lin Yuan's action startled Ice Flow.
This was a deep harbor, not a regular place. The water could reach a depth of 2 kilometers. Otherwise, there was no way that the Island Whales would be able to dock there.
Once Lin Yuan lowered his leg, he would fall into the sea!
The water was full of dark undercurrents that would quickly pull Lin Yuan to its dark and deep depths.
Ice Flow was about to manipulate the water to grab Lin Yuan when he saw the water rise up and gather around Lin Yuan's feet, holding him up.
The water was moving very similarly to when he controlled it.
Ice Flow could sense that the sea water was voluntarily gathering around Lin Yuan.
The seawater was gathering around Lin Yuan before Ice Flow had ordered it to do so. This deeply shocked Ice Flow.
Ice Flow looked at Lin Yuan incredulously. He did not know how Lin Yuan was more affiliated with and have a stronger control over water than he did!
Ice Flow had heard that Blue Lotus had given her Heavenly Family Blessing to a young human. But even if Lin Yuan was this human, this should not be how it manifested!
Lin Yuan turned back to look at Ice Flow as he quipped, "Let's hurry. Every moment that we are late will cost the lives of many sea lifeforms!"
Lin Yuan raised a hand and a current rose from the surface of the water.
Ice Flow stepped on the current that Lin Yuan had formed and manipulated it to carry him toward the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Numerous regular people and spirit qi professionals on the harbor saw Lin Yuan and Ice Flow's actions. Although they were all shocked by this sight, they did not act on their shock.
Experts had been arriving in Ascending Dragon City recently, and tens of the Island Whales had also been dispatched from the harbor.
Seeing the Island Whales expanded these people's horizons.
Their eyesight was not good enough. Otherwise, they would have noticed Lin Yuan performing the extraordinary act of summoning and riding on water currents.
โฆ
While Lin Yuan and Ice Flow were headed to the Vast Sea Labyrinth, a few soft giggles emerged from a castle.
A girl dressed in a long black skirt and holding a back candle stopped flipping through the book in her hands.
The light from the purple flame burning atop the black candle became the brightest light source in the large hall. It even blanketed over the light from the glowing birth horoscopes hanging above the large hall.
The girl turned towards the eight black coffins behind her.
The first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth black coffins flew open simultaneously. The seventh coffin shook a few times but eventually did not open.
The girl's gaze became even deeper when she saw the five open black coffins.
"Violet Light Green, Cavity Orchid, and Wave Glow, it's been too long!"
The girl strode to the fifth coffin and hugged the girl within, who had seven-colored eyes and hair. Her action was full of love and devotion.
However, this girl with rainbow eyes and hair adjusted her skirt before deftly pushing Second Page Warbler Candle away with her slender fingers and saying coldly, "Crimson told you to manage the situation. But you caused so much trouble! The human federations and sea clans ended up finding out about the Sleeper's Revival plan.
"Warbler Candle, you have truly disappointed me. Back thenโ"
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow was not done speaking before she was interrupted by the short young man in the black coffin next to her.
Chapter 2643 Welcome, Lord Thearch!
"Falling Rainbow, what has happened has happened. We already settled that matter. Warbler Candle has also paid the price for that incident. Why are you still dragging it up? Moreover, we were the ones who she let down back then, not you."
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow's face did not betray any emotions.
She waved her hand and swept away the hair that had fallen across her forehead before she walked out of the black coffin and asked First Page Crimson, "Crimson, How much longer will it be before Concubine Winding and Eye Shadow wake up? If they need more than two months, we can begin the plan now! After all, the dead world has already infected this world's ley lines with enough death aura."
First Page Crimson frowned under his black and red cloak and was silent for a moment before he said, "Seventh Page Concubine Winding will need 17 more days, while Eighth Page Eye Shadow will need 35 more days. I suggest you wait until they are awake before you combine the dead world with the main world. Otherwise, they will lose out on a lot of benefits."
First Page Crimson had just finished speaking when Sixth Page Wave Glow, who had long hair resembling ice crystals and a more beautiful countenance than most women, said resolutely, "I don't think we should begin the plan now. It doesn't matter if the humans and sea clans know about our plans and set up defenses against it. It won't affect the plan's progression.
"I care more about what Crimson said about the humans taking control of the marsh and water worlds. If they can control the marsh world and water world, they will be able to control the alien insect, subterranean, and abyssal worlds, too!
"I am worried that humans will find a way to combine the five dimensional worlds with this world to promote this Class 1 to Class 2. If that happens, it will throw a wrench into our plans!"
Sixth Page Wave Glow's words had hit the nail on the head.
First Page Crimson shook his head and said, "I can't answer your question because I have also been sealed and recuperating in the black coffin. I haven't been able to look in detail into human factions. But I can be certain that something anomalous has happened to the human world.
"Otherwise, given my understanding of the human world before I went to sleep, they shouldn't have such capabilities! I suspect that this is related to Epoch God Palace. Only they possess such capabilities!
"As for Tarot Round Table, who have implanted spies into Tower Canon, they are nothing more than a group of noisy insects trying to cause trouble. They don't have such capabilities either!"
Second Page Warbler Candle only looked away from Fifth Page Falling Rainbow now.
Second Page Warbler Candle looked at First Page Crimson seriously and said, "I began secretly watching Epoch God Palace a week ago. This matter is not related to them at all! They haven't changed and still seem to be waiting for something. They wouldn't have needed to wait until now if they wanted to try something. They could have acted when we first started injecting death aura into the ley lines.
"First Page Crimson, did Epoch God Palace frighten you off a thousand years ago?"
First Page Crimson ignored Second Page Warbler Candle.
Before the others awoke, First Page Crimson interacted with Second Page Warbler Candle because he had no choice.
But now that the others had awoken, there was no need for First Page Crimson to continue doing so!
First Page Crimson was not fond of Second Page Warbler Candle at all.
Third Page Violet Light Green did not want to interact with First Page Crimson and the other four. She picked up a comb with several eyeballs embedded into it and began combing her hair. The eyes opened and shut continuously while she was combing her hair with the comb.
Once she was done combing her hair, she began dressing herself up with accessories and was completely nonchalant towards the discussion that needed to take place.
When she saw Sixth Page Wave Glow looking at her, Third Page Violet Light Green said apathetically, "You can make the decision about such trivial matters. You don't have to seek my opinion! This way, if you insist on starting the plan now, I won't be left without a way to explain myself to Concubine Winding and Eye Shadow when they wake up."
Third Page Violet Light Green looked like she couldn't care less, but she had taken out the Hundred-Eyed Comb that Eighth Page Eye Shadow had given her and mentioned Concubine Winding and Eye Shadow.
Eye Shadow was not the type to be petty. But if Concubine woke up and found out she had been stiffed, the situation would become very difficult to deal with!
All of them had the same goal and were companions who had landed in this world together. There was no need for them to stab each other in the back during these 30 or so days.
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow's selfish behavior had displeased many of them.
Third Page Violet Light Green and Sixth Page Wave Glow had both expressed their opinions. Second Page Warbler Candle never got involved and always followed Fifth Page Falling Rainbow's lead.
First Page Crimson looked at Fourth Page Cavity Orchid. "Cavity Orchid, have you made your decision?"
Fourth Page Cavity Orchid blinked. Given the circumstances, regardless of what she said, she would end up offending someone. Fourth Page Cavity Orchid did not want that to happen.
Hence, she smiled at First Page Crimson and said, "Crimson, I'll follow your lead. Your decision is my decision! I have only just woken up, so unlike you, I don't know much about what's happening."
First Page Crimson looked away from Fourth Page Cavity Orchid.
Fourth Page Cavity Orchid never liked to get on the wrong side of anyone, yet she also refused to allow herself to be advantaged in any way.
She had said that despite already knowing what his choice was.
If the eight of them had not tried tripping each other up and caused the sacred instrument that contained death aura to become damaged, they would not have needed to attempt to make a grab for Epoch God Palace's vessel! They also would not have had to slumber for thousands of years.T/his chapter is updat๐ฎd by n๐v(รช(l) /m
If the dead spirits crisis could have been brought forward a few thousand years, this Class 1 world would have already been combined with the dead world and taken over the roots of this Class 1 world.
What a waste! A waste!
"Then let's wait until Concubine Winding and Eye Shadow wake up. We can return to the black coffins and continue recuperatingโ"
Before First Page Crimson could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fifth Page Falling Rainbow's furrowed brow.
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow did not attempt to go against First Page Crimson's decision. This decision had been made collectively by all of them. If she tried to go against it, she would be offending the majority.
However, she noticed that she had lost her link to the Secret of the Dead that had been within the Tower of Falling Rainbow.
"What is my Tower of Falling Rainbow now? Why can't I sense the Secret of the Dead now that I'm awake?"
First Page Crimson frowned.
They only established Tower Canon after coming to this world. They saw the eight towers as part of their legacy and passed it down from generation to generation of the Eight Pages.
The subsequent generations of Tower Canon had been unable to use the power of the Secrets of the Dead in the towers.
Based on First Page Crimson's understanding, the Tower of Falling Rainbow should be in Fifth Page Truth's hands.
He had not known where Fifth Page Truth was and only found out from Third Page Eternal Sin that he had died.
But if Fifth Page Truth had died, the Secret of the Dead should have transported the Tower of Falling Rainbow back to Tower Canon!
The Secrets of the Dead were linked to the dead world's roots, and the dead world was a dimensional world linked to a Class 2 world.
The Secrets of the Dead were beyond the level of this Class 1 world, so there was no reason it would run into issues here!
"Falling Rainbow, you can send people to find the Tower of Falling Rainbow, but I suggest you return to the black coffin to rest up. Once Concubine Winding and Eye Shadow wake up and we begin the plan, we will have to remain in the dead world and won't have the opportunity to recuperate any further."
Once he was done speaking, First Page Crimson entered the black coffin and closed the door.
Second Page Warbler Candle blew out the flame of the candle she held with a gentle breath before saying, "Falling Rainbow, I don't need to spend any more extended periods of time recuperating. I can help you to search for the Tower of Falling Rainbow!"
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow scoffed softly.
"I will send my own people to conduct the search! The people I send will also be able to help me gain an understanding of the current happenings in this world! Otherwise, we'll have to ask First Page Crimson everything, and he's unwilling to share."
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow walked out into the large hall, and Second Page Warbler Candle hurriedly followed her.
Third Page Violet Light Green and Sixth Page Wave Glow entered their black coffins. The light in the large hall filled the space once again after Second Page Warbler Candle left.
The faint light from the chain of birth horoscopes seeped out into the beautiful and dead silence.

Lin Yuan stepped on the jets of water.
Due to his mermaid thearch bloodline, Lin Yuan instinctively felt more comfortable in the sea than on land.
Lin Yuan had been busy for such a long time, and as he traveled on the sea, he felt the same carefreeness he felt while on vacation.
However, Lin Yuan found it difficult to relax fully.
Neither the humans nor sea clans' migration was complete. Lin Yuan was afraid that he would predict the timeline wrongly.
Ice Flow told Lin Yuan, "We will be able to reach the Vast Sea Labyrinth's palace in a day. I will lead you into the depths then while you hold this pearl. This comes from the 10,000-year-old giant clam and will allow you to breathe underwater."
Lin Yuan received the pearl and nodded before tossing it back to Ice Flow. "I can enter the depths of water without external help. You don't need to make such preparations for me.
"On the way here, I saw many sea clans gathering together under the lead of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. I am curious to know how the Vast Sea Labyrinth sends out your orders."
Ice Flow did not try to keep secrets and responded. "When any member of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors is given authority over a piece of the sea, they will also receive a messenger shell. No matter where they are, they can receive orders from the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors' headquarters through the messenger shell.
"The Vast Sea Labyrinth just needs to send our orders to the leaders of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. After we selected the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors, they rapidly increased their numbers and strength because of the abundance of resources they possess.
"Now, there aren't enough sea territories to allocate to every member. This is why there has been so much fighting among the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors in the past 1,000 years!
"First Emperor Dragon Shark Clan has already become the new fountainhead of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. Many human federations believe the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors to be the leaders of the sea clans. But in truth, they are nothing more than chess pieces that are under our control!"
Lin Yuan now understood why the Vast Sea Labyrinth cared so little about the First Emperor Dragon Shark Clan's extinction. They never cared about any of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors.
He could sense from Ice Flow's words that the Vast Sea Labyrinth was very unhappy with all the fighting that had been going on among the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors.
The human federations were much more independent than the sea clans. They would never be able to act collectively after just one order was issued.
Although this Major Federation Union meeting was successful, many federations had not been in attendance. It was very likely that those who had not gone to the Radiance Federation were still unaware of the dead spirits crisis.
There was nothing that Lin Yuan or the Moon Empress could do about that.
By this time, Lin Yuan and Ice Flow had arrived at the sea near the Azure Federation.
The sea near the Azure Federation had already been cleared, and there were no traces of toxins left. This would not have been possible in such a short span with just the experts from the Azure Federation. The mermaids had helped secretly as well.
Suddenly, Ice Flow furrowed his brow deeply together, and he looked astonished. He noticed that there were almost 100 spirit-fire lifeforms nearby. Moreover, there were thousands of enormous sea beasts behind these 100 spirit-fire lifeforms.
From the auras of the sea beasts, they were likely water world dimensional lifeforms.
Ice Flow was very familiar with the aura of water world dimensional lifeforms.
Ice Flow knew that a Class 6 water world dimensional rift had opened in the sea near the Azure Federation. These dimensional lifeforms must have come out from there!
Ice Flow had heard that Lin Yuan had taken control of the water world and wanted to combine the water world with the main world so that the sea clans could be relocated there.
Ice Flow looked at Lin Yuan.
Regardless of how he thought about it, Ice Flow could not shake the feeling that these spirit-fire mermaids and giant sea beasts were there to cause trouble.
As a mermaid thearch, Lin Yuan could sense where lifeforms with the mermaid bloodlines were located.
He smiled and told Ice Flow, "These are the helpers I will be sending to help the sea clans with their migration. They have been waiting for me for a long time. They will be coming with us to the Vast Sea Labyrinth."
While Lin Yuan was speaking, the mermaids and sea beasts had moved over to his side.
The king-class mermaids had ridden water currents to the surface of the water. But the instant they spotted Lin Yuan, they all folded their tails and knelt on pillars of water. They dared not meet his gaze and said softly, with utmost respect, "Welcome, Lord Thearch!"
Chapter 2644 Contact with Tarot Round Table!
After the king-class mermaids were done with their greetings, it was the sea beasts' turn to greet Lin Yuan.
Many of the sea beasts present had reached the Turning Wheel Realm as well. All of them knew that Lin Yuan had the mermaid bloodline in his body.
At first, the sea beasts from Mermaid Sacred Hall always butted heads with the mermaids. But now, they were very respectful toward mermaids of comparable power. Although they would not keep their heads down around the mermaids, they could get along relatively amicably.
The battle between Grace Sacred Hall and Mermaid Forbidden Sea was a fight between the mermaids and sea beasts. There were no mermaids in Grace Sacred Hall, while there were sea beasts in Mermaid Forbidden Sea. But those sea beasts had always been on friendly terms with the mermaids.
The sea beasts were all lined up neatly around the mermaids.
Because of Lin Yuan, the mermaids had become the leading species of the water world, and their status had naturally inflated.
Although Lin Yuan did not have the power to give the mermaids more authority than the sea clans, he knew what the mermaids and sea beasts were thinking.
The mermaids were much more united than the sea beasts, so allowing the mermaids to lead the water world would lead to more upd๐ted ๐ovels on n๐ /m
Moreover, it was true that Lin Yuan had the mermaid bloodline in his body and was a mermaid thearch.
When the mermaids appeared, shock appeared on Ice Flow's face.
Mermaids also used to be in the main world, but their numbers were always very small.
However, mermaids were naturally affiliated with water-elemental energy and known for being extremely beautiful in their human form. Thus, they used to be regarded as auspicious entities in the sea.
Mermaids could not be found in Class 1 to 4 water world dimensional rifts and were only seen occasionally in Class 5 dimensional rifts.
Ice Flow knew that the mermaids came from the water world, but they never expected them to be such a populous species in the water world and so powerful!
The mermaids and sea beasts addressed Lin Yuan as 'Lord Thearch'.
Ice Flow knew that the mermaids prioritized their bloodlines.
The way that they addressed Lin Yuan caused Ice Flow to realize that Lin Yuan's strong control over water came from him having the mermaid bloodline in his body!
His bloodline was strong enough to induce the sea beasts to kneel to him. This was sufficient to prove that his bloodline was extraordinary!
Ice Flow now knew that it was not the Radiance Federation who had taken control of the water world but the Moon Empress' disciple!
Given that the Moon Empress' disciple had the ability to take control of the water world, he had to also be the one who had taken control of the Moon Empress' disciple.
At this instant, the way that Ice Flow looked at Lin Yuan changed. Now, he fully believed all that Lin Yuan had said before. Aside from astonishment and satisfaction, he also felt brimming faith.
Ice Flow bowed deeply to Lin Yuan. "With help from these mermaids and sea beasts, the migration of the sea clans will undoubtedly be much smoother! Lin Yuan, thank you for your help! We will remember this favor and be sure to repay it!
"In a previous conversation with the Moon Empress, she mentioned faith power. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that she was trying to gather it for you! If that's the case, I will dedicate all of the sea clans' faith to you! We three brothers will also become your believers!"
Ice Flow was not trying to be polite to Lin Yuan. If that was his intention, it would not have been necessary to say what he just said.
Lin Yuan could tell that Ice Flow was sincere because once he was done speaking, Lin Yuan could sense that a glowing dot of light that represented Ice Flow's faith had appeared in the fountain of faith in his divine kingdom. This meant Ice Flow was now linked to him and supplying him with faith!
Lin Yuan smiled.
He did not have to make any requests of Ice Flow, and the latter had said all that he said of his own accord. This caused Lin Yuan to have a good impression of Ice Flow, and by extension, the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
It was true that Lin Yuan needed faith power. But he had not expected the Moon Empress to have helped him to lay the groundwork with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
The Moon Empress had always looked out for and took very good care of him.
Lin Yuan told Ice Flow, "I do need faith power. We'll do as you said. But every matter is separate. I'm not helping the sea clans because I'm after your faith. In this matter, you are the ones helping me. I will not allow you to help me for free!
"I have a significant amount of pure spirit qi and water-elemental energy. I can help the sea clans to reach the full extent of their power by evolving the sea beasts' grades and qualities. But I will need a portion of the sea beasts' World Graces. It will amount to 3-4% of their World Graces. This will not affect your feys in any way. This promise will stand for as long as I am in the main world. What do you think?"
Ice Flow was listening intently to what Lin Yuan said, but he thought that Lin Yuan would seek compensation for helping the sea clans. Yet, it turned out that Lin Yuan would be providing the sea clans with such immense benefits!
Ice Flow was stumped and at a momentary loss for words!
Human factions needed resources, but the fey factions that made up sea clans lacked Creation Master resources even more than human factions did!
Although some powerful feys possessed similar abilities to Creation Masters, it was much easier for humans to become Class 5 Creation Masters than feys!
Fey factions possessed extremely little Class 5 Creation Master resources as human Creation Masters usually served federations, and they almost never released their Creation Master resources to others. It was challenging for human federations to share their Creation Master resources with each other, much less with feys!
Fey factions used to want to trade for resources with human Creation Masters, but the humans had asked for remuneration that the feys could not pay. This was because the humans tried to trade for a mountain of spiritual ingredients from the feys, most of which came from the feys' own bodies.
The feys found it difficult to strip the corpses of their ancestors to trade for the human Creation Masters' potions. This was in spite of the fact that the fey factions' own Creation Masters did not concoct their potions.
However, the feelings that came with their own kind doing this and human Creation Masters doing this were completely different!
Numerous sea clans were stuck at a certain level.
If these sea clans' experts could all increase their power, the sea clans' overall power would increase by at least five times its current level!
The sea clans were made of fey factions, and their experts lived for much longer than humans did.
With such long lifespans, fey powers could reach a rut at any point in their lives. Most of them would stay in the rut for their entire lives!
Ice Flow did not know how many resources Lin Yuan had that enabled him to make such a promise.
But since Lin Yuan had made such a promise, he would definitely have the capabilities to back it up!
This was a good opportunity for the sea clans to rise up.
Ice Flow did not bother to stand on ceremony with Lin Yuan and hurriedly said, "Lin Yuan, I don't know how to thank you. You are the savior of all the sea clans! You mentioned wanting 3-4% of the World Graces and Creation World Ley Lines. Even if you ask for 20%, 30%, to 80%, the sea clans would be willing to give it to you!
"I will go and make the arrangements now and prepare a name list of the sea clans for you."
Lin Yuan nodded.
If a member of any human faction was present, they would not understand the promise that Lin Yuan had made. From anyone else's perspective, it seemed as though he was doing nothing more than tossing away resources!
But in actuality, he was accumulating his own store of resources.
Lin Yuan's mention of him being in the main world allowed Ice Flow to understand that Lin Yuan's goals were beyond the main world and that he intended to leave.
Ice Flow thought of himself as the strongest leader in the main world when, in fact, he was nothing more than an ignoramus!
Ice Flow suddenly felt as though he had been defeated by youth.
At the same time, he began wondering about Lin Yuan's identity. All of a sudden, he questioned whether Lin Yuan was human. But how could he have the mermaid bloodline in his body if he was?
Lin Yuan could not be more than 20 years old. This made him a young man by human standards. But by fey standards, he was a baby!
Ice Flow had many questions, but he did not ask Lin Yuan any of them.
Instead, he began thinking about how he could tell his brothers about this.
His brothers would not have any issues with him giving Lin Yuan the faith of all the sea clans, even if Lin Yuan had not promised them anything in return, much less now that he was going to be substantially benefiting the sea clans.
The members of sea clans were all terror-stricken by the dead spirits crisis.
If Ice Flow announced this good news, morale would pick up rapidly.
Now that Lin Yuan had come to an agreement on this matter with Ice Flow, he was overjoyed.
He knew that it would be easier to collect spirit qi crystals from the sea clans than the humans.
Due to the Perfect Touch Wisteria's characteristics, Lin Yuan could still increase its power with spirit qi crystals, although it had already reached the World Emperor and divine kingdom level.
On this trip to the Vast Sea Labyrinth, Lin Yuan wanted to establish a good relationship with the sea clans so that they would be able to work well with the humans to take on the dead spirits crisis. But his other purpose was to seal this deal with the sea clans.
Everything was going very well, and it could be said that Lin Yuan's trip to the Vast Sea Labyrinth was complete.
He had not given Ice Wave and Ice Clarity the chance to meet with him during this trip, and he dove into helping the sea clans.
Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity were very thankful for this.
The three of them should have welcomed Lin Yuan with the proper etiquette, but they knew that every moment wasted would cost the lives of millions of sea lifeforms.
From the fact that Lin Yuan had not bothered to ask about it either it meant that he genuinely wanted to help the sea clans and did not have any selfish desires.
Before they were done feeling touched, Ice Wave and Ice Clarity heard of Lin Yuan's promises from Ice Flow.
Ice Wave and Ice Clarity had to digest for a moment before they accepted this fact.
The two of them already saw Lin Yuan as the sea clans' savior. But now, it seemed that he was also their lucky charm!
Because of him, the sea clans would be able to prosper.
If Lin Yuan was just a regular human, Ice Wave and Ice Clarity would have begun suspecting his motives when they heard this news.
But everything made sense when they found out about Lin Yuan having the mermaid bloodline in his body.
Lin Yuan was aware that humans and the sea clans never got along. This was because the humans were always fishing for feys from the sea. The humans might see nothing wrong with this, but it was no different from murder to the sea clans.
The sea clans only worked with the humans because they had no choice. They would never have made such a compromise if they had any other choice.
Ice Flow, Ice Clarity, and Ice Wave had expressly emphasized Lin Yuan's saving of the sea clans during the migration of the sea clans. This was to encourage all members of the sea clans to dedicate their faith to Lin Yuan.
As the rulers of the sea, Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity possessed absolute authority.
The order from the three of them and the fact that he had saved all the sea clans allowed Lin Yuan to garner a large amount of faith power from the sea clans.
Lin Yuan spent almost 20 days in the Vast Sea Labyrinth. Once the last batch of sea clans were sent away, Lin Yuan did not allow Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity to meet with him before he used Node Transportation to transport himself to the Radiance Federation.
Now that the sea clans' migration was done, Lin Yuan had achieved his goal.
After checking the time, he estimated that Wen Yu was done with her exploration of the other side of the Barren Sea. It was time for him to fetch her and Chu Ci!
Once he was done fetching Chu Ci and Wen Yu, the migration of the human federations to the Radiance Federation should also be complete.
Lin Yuan would then combine the main world with the five dimensional worlds with the Radiance Federation at the center!
The main world would be promoted from a Class 1 to Class 2 world before the dead spirits crisis even began.
Lin Yuan had remained in contact with the Moon Empress and Wen Yu the entire time while he was in the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
He knew that a faction called Tarot Round Table had come to the Radiance Federation and asked to work with the Radiance Federation.
They said that they knew many secrets about Tower Canon.
The Moon Empress should have agreed to their request. However, they were being rather overbearing.
She could not agree to Tarot Round Table's request, so she told Lin Yuan about the situation and let him make the decision once he was back!
Chapter 2645 Lin Yuan's Deadly Aura!
Lin Yuan always felt that even if a person did not know how to be sensitive to changing times, they should know not to cross the line.
When they were on the precipice of a catastrophe, any person or faction who crossed the line would be deemed recklessly bold and churlish.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth was doing a very good job now.
Initially, they compromised on their profits as a show of sincerity to the Radiance Federation. This allowed them to gain Lin Yuan's wholehearted willingness to save them.
Otherwise, even if Lin Yuan was still willing to help the sea chains with their problem, he would not have put in as much effort. He also would not have sent the 100 water Turning Wheel Realm Dictators and 1,000 regular Dictators to help the sea clans migrate.
Lin Yuan's action allowed the water experts and the Vast Sea Labyrinth to become acquainted sooner than they would have. This would enable them to work together even better in the future.
Although all of Lin Yuan's decisions were geared toward achieving a win-win situation, he had actually allowed the Vast Sea Labyrinth to obtain incomparable benefits.
Because of Lin Yuan's promise, the sea clans' top combat power would be increased by at least 50%!
Lin Yuan liked a faction like this that knew how to be flexible, was rational, and knew where the lines were.
Lin Yuan felt no inclination to help the federations who had received the Radiance Federation's invitation but were unwilling to attend the Major Federation Union meeting.T/his chapter is updat๐ฎd by n๐v(รช(l) /m
He had heard of Tarot Round Table from Eighth Page Apoptosis.
He did not have a good feeling about this secret human faction that was composed of tens of top experts.
Tarot Round Table had been investigating Tower Canon all this time and clearly knew many of their secrets. Yet, they had not done anything and, in a way, allowed Tower Canon to infect the main world's ley lines with death aura.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth had previously worked with Tower Canon, but this did not color Lin Yuan's opinion of the Vast Sea Labyrinth or cause him to become angry at them.
Firstly, the Vast Sea Labyrinth had been unaware of Tower Canon's plan. Lin Yuan understood Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity. If they knew Tower Canon aimed to extract the death aura, unleash the dead spirits crisis, and trigger the changing of epochs, they'd have refused to cooperate and tried to stop it.
But based on what Tarot Round Table had told the Moon Empress, Lin Yuan knew they had been aware of Tower Canon's plan. However, all they did was continue watching silently as they tried to gather even more information to continue working toward their goals.
Lin Yuan did not know what Tarot Round Table's goals were, but it was a fact they had consciously remained on the sidelines. This meant they truly did not care about the survival of the main world's lifeforms.
Thus, the Radiance Federation would take a completely different attitude toward Tarot Round Table than they did with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Lin Yuan felt that it was reasonable for the Azure Federation to have remained neutral between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation. After all, they needed to look out for their own profits.
But safeguarding one's profits was not a good enough reason for remaining on the sidelines in every situation!
Lin Yuan already felt extreme displeasure toward Tarot Round Table.
If Tarot Round Table understood the ramifications of the current circumstances and were willing to put their best foot forward in the war against the dead spirits, Lin Yuan would still be willing to trade and share some of the profits with them.
But Tarot Round Table had not made contact with the Radiance Federation because they wanted to help in the war against the dead spirits but to negotiate with them.
They wanted to ask how many leadership positions the Radiance Federation intended to establish in the Major Federation Union. They wanted to secure at least 20% of the leadership positions in the Major Federation Union and obtain policymaking authority.
Tarot Round Table had already stated their conditions. This was their price for telling Lin Yuan everything they knew about Tower Canon.
It seemed that Tarot Round Table was a mercenary group greedily trying to secure their benefits in a mad frenzy now that they sensed imminent danger!
The Moon Empress believed that if Tarot Round Table had three spirit-fire experts, six birth-horoscope experts, and more than ten Above Eternal experts, agreeing to their requests might not be a bad idea!
Tarot Round Table possessed almost equivalent top combat power to all three major federations combined!
It would not be unreasonable for them to occupy 20% of the leadership positions in the Major Federation Union.
However, the Moon Empress did not want to hand over the policymaking authority to them. They would have the final say in most proposals if she did that.
The three major federations and other federations with Class 5 Creation Masters would all occupy leadership positions in the Major Federation Union. This was a sealed deal.
The Azure Federation was in alliance with the Radiance Federation but had not become fully subordinate to them. On the other hand, the Freedom Federation could be considered a branch of the Radiance Federation.
The other factions were unaware that the Freedom Federation's royalty had already sworn their loyalty to the Moon Empress. There was no way that the Freedom Federation would reveal this voluntarily.
Thus, regardless of what happened, the Radiance Federation would occupy more leadership positions than Tarot Round Table.
While the Moon Empress was discussing with Lin Yuan, she took a grudgeful tone toward Tarot Round Table. Regardless of how strong Tarot Round Table was, the Moon Empress did not like how conniving they were.
It was likely that the Tarot experts had lost their humanity to the passage of time.
Lin Yuan chuckled coldly. There was no way he would be sharing even a shred of the policymaking authority with Tarot Round Table. They did not deserve it!
If Tarot Round Table could be content with just 20% of the leadership positions and did not insist on having policymaking authorityโand if they were willing to invest their full sincerity into helping with the defense against the dead spirits crisis by assigning their experts to help the weaker federations with any abrupt dangers that cropped upโLin Yuan could force himself to have a conversation with them.
But if they continued to be this greedy or came up with more unreasonable requests, Lin Yuan would not be opposed to teaching them a lesson.
Lin Yuan rarely used martial force against others, but this did not mean he was fully against this method.
While rushing back to the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan used up his spirit qi numerous times. The journey left him dusty, but traveling using Node Transportation was much faster than other modes of transport.
Once he entered the inner palace of the Radiant Moon Palace, he saw the Moon Empress sitting there with an austere expression. Her brows knitted tightly together.
Lin Yuan walked briskly over to the Moon Empress and asked softly, "Master, has something gone wrong with Tarot Round Table, or have they made an unsavory request?"
The Moon Empress had not expected Lin Yuan to arrive so quickly.
In the past, she would not have discussed issues with him. But she had no choice but to tell him about the issues related to Tarot Round Table so that he could solve them.
Even the Spacetime Elder would seem weak when he faced the Tarot experts. Lin Yuan was the only one who could stand toe-to-toe with them.
The Moon Empress rarely encountered people as arrogant as the Tarot experts.
"Little Yuan, the people from Tarot Round Table are on the Leaning Moon Mountain. They are residing in the Resting Moon Palace, which is on the Leaning Moon Mountain's north side."
The Leaning Moon Mountain had a total of two main palaces. The Moon Empress usually lived in the Radiant Moon Palace and met with other members of the Radiance Federation's royalty in the Radiant Moon Palace as well.
The Four Moon Servants only used the Resting Moon Palace when they returned with their teams. Night Leaning Moon occasionally stayed there, too.
The Moon Empress only allowed the people closest to her to use the Resting Moon Palace and would never have allowed the people from Tarot Round Table to stay there of her own volition.
Given that the people from Tarot Round Table still ended up staying there in spite of the Moon Empress' unwillingness, the reason was obvious without being explicitly said.
Lin Yuan laughed coldly and asked softly, "Master, are the people from Tarot Round Table making things difficult for you?"
Lin Yuan's voice was laced with lethal intention.
The Moon Empress was stunned by what Lin Yuan said. It sounded as though he wanted to stand up for her.
The Moon Empress could not remember the last time she felt this way. Perhaps that old fellow had stood up for her when she first became his disciple.
However, he had been an alcoholic and was only sober a few times a year. He had died by the time she became a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. He had not even been around to see her become a Radiance Envoy.
The Moon Empress smiled and said, "Little Yuan, the people from Tarot Round Table did not make things difficult for me. It's not so easy to push me into a corner. They insisted on staying on the Leaning Moon Mountain. I'm sure you can understand that this is one of their ways of demonstrating their formidability.
"They also wanted me to call you back as soon as possible. They have not only been looking into Tower Canon but have also investigated a fair amount of the Radiance Federation's recent happenings. They have likely obtained information about you. I don't know the exact intel they have on you, but they see it as their bargaining chip.
"Little Yuan, if they cross the line in your interaction with them, you don't have to force yourself to suffer for the sake of helping the main world with its disaster. They don't have experts who are above the spirit-fire level!"
The Moon Empress should not have said that, as it went against her status. But simultaneously, she was worried about Lin Yuan and did not want him to suffer.
She could already see how greedy they were. If Lin Yuan kept giving way during the negotiation with Tarot Round Table, they would just end up climbing all over him.
Lin Yuan stood up. "Master, I will go and meet with Tarot Round Table! I really want to know what intel they have on me!"
A year ago, if such a powerful faction had obtained information about Lin Yuan, he would have been worried regardless of how important the information was.
Being targeted by a powerful faction like Tarot Round Table would undoubtedly have caused a lot of trouble for him.
Back then, Lin Yuan's secret weapons were insufficient to deal with Tarot Round Table.
But now, the Abyss Great Emperor and Eternal Source would both be able to easily keep the four spirit-fire Tarot experts in check.
In Lin Yuan's eyes, Tarot Round Table was nothing more than meat on a chopping board. Although the meat was rather tough, cutting through would not be impossible.
Lin Yuan was curious to know what information Tarot Round Table knew about him that they believed would be enough to keep him under their thumb!
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan was certain that Tarot Round Table did not know too much key information about him. Otherwise, they would not have been foolish enough to have the confidence to come to try to negotiate with him!
Tarot Round Table might seem powerful to others, but they were nothing more than a replaceable garnish to Lin Yuan. He had not considered them when he first started coming up with his plan to protect the main world and had still successfully carried out his plan.
The people from Tarot Round Table were trying to refrain from exerting any effort and take control of him. Even if they were willing to help out in the war against the humans, they would never listen to his instructions.
Red Thorn had only just evolved to Diamond grade. It happened to need assets to use Tongue Pouch Births Demons on.
Lin Yuan thought, Tarot Round Table should hope that they do not give me the chance to obtain assets for Red Thorn!
The Moon Empress looked at Lin Yuan seriously while he was speaking as she tried to discern from his gaze if he was trying to console her.
She saw that his gaze was very level and that his deadly aura had not diminished at all after hearing about Tarot Round Table's intentions. Instead, it had intensified.
The Moon Empress was confident that Lin Yuan had the power to handle Tarot Round Table and was not worried about them.
"Little Yuan, go ahead and do what you need to do. Don't forget to prioritize your own safety at all times. The spirit-fire Tarot experts have definitely contracted sacred source lifeforms and all of them have different abilities. Take everything seriously, and never be careless!"
The Moon Empress was not the emotional type and hated such people.
But at that moment, when Lin Yuan was about to head to the Resting Moon Palace to meet the Tarot experts, she ended up becoming such a person.
She was just too worried about Lin Yuan's safety.
But she knew that if he really ended up clashing against the Tarot experts, she would not be of any help to him because she had yet to set her spirit fire alight. She might even become an inconvenience to him.
Otherwise, she would definitely have gone with him so she could hear the information firsthand!
Lin Yuan nodded seriously when he heard what the Moon Empress said. He made sure to make mental notes of everything that she said.
This was because he knew that the Moon Empress had his best interests at heart and because she had more experience than him.
The Moon Empress' advice was also her way of imparting experience to him.
However, Lin Yuan truly was not overly concerned about the Tarot experts.
The Tarot experts only had the equivalent power of the subterranean world's top combat power. They also did not have as many Above Eternal experts, who were the equivalent of Samsara Realm Dictators.
Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor were not the only weapons in Lin Yuan's arsenal.
When Lin Yuan fused with the Abyss Red Lotus in the past, he was already able to suppress all the abyssal Samsara Realm Dictators.
Chapter 2646 You Don't Deserve to Be Threatened By Us!
At that time, the Abyss Red Lotus had only taken control of three dimensional worlds. But now that he had taken control of five, Lin Yuan would be even stronger after fusing with it!
All Lin Yuan needed to do was fuse with the Abyss Red Lotus, and he would be able to take control of the situation immediately.
Lin Yuan said, "Master, don't worry. I will be back very soon!"
Before leaving the inner palace, Lin Yuan released the Abyss Great Emperor, who Red Thorn's tongue pouch was transforming.
He did not give the Moon Empress time to respond before he transported himself to the Resting Moon Palace's entrance.
As the Moon Empress looked at the Abyss Great Emperor, tears started welling up uncontrollably in her eyes.
It went without saying she knew what Lin Yuan's intention was. He had left this abyss demon with powers above the spirit-fire level here to protect her.
In actuality, he was already intending to burn all bridges with Tarot Round Table.
However, Tarot Round Table had four spirit-fire experts, and Lin Yuan was afraid they would come to the Radiance Moon Palace to harm her while he was battling it out with Tarot Round Table.
From the way that Lin Yuan chose to leave one of his experts with her during such a crucial time, the Moon Empress could tell how much he cared about her. This affection could not be communicated through words. It could only be expressed through actions!
At first, the Moon Empress did not intend to head to the Resting Moon Palace as she feared she would inconvenience Lin Yuan. But now, she decided to take this abyss demon with her as she headed to the Resting Moon Palace's entrance.
This way, she and this abyss demon could step in immediately if any issues erupted!
Now that she had taken control of six moons, the power that Forage Moon afforded her already went beyond the birth-horoscope level, allowing her to take on spirit-fire experts. She was not being overconfident about her powers as the Spacetime Elder had made this judgment.
Once Lin Yuan arrived at the Resting Moon Palace's entrance, he released Eternal Source and sauntered into the Resting Moon Palace.
The Leaning Moon Mountain was his home, and the Resting Moon Palace was a part of it. There was no need for him to be mindful of others in his own home!
The Tarot experts already saw themselves as invaluable assets and had demanded to stay in Resting Moon Palace.
However, Lin Yuan never thought much of these Tarot experts.
Once he entered the palace, a shrill voice echoed. "Are the Moon Empress' servants so ill-mannered? How dare you enter the residence of a valued guest without permission?"
Lin Yuan was so enraged that he started to laugh.
Lin Yuan did not get angry often, and he was only angered to the point of laughing a few times a year!
"The mistress is the one who decides if the guest is a valued one. This is the first time I'm hearing a guest make that determination on their own! Didn't you insist on staying in the Resting Moon Palace because you were waiting for me?"
Lin Yuan did not slow down his footsteps because of this voice. While walking, he also shot a look at Eternal Source to signal to him not to reveal his power above the spirit-fire level and to keep his aura at the level of beginner spirit fire.
If Eternal Source revealed such overwhelming power from the get-go, the Tarot experts would change their plans out of fear of Eternal Source's power.
Lin Yuan still wanted to find out what Tarot Round Table knew about him. What information could give them the audacity to try cornering him?
After Lin Yuan was done speaking, the female voice did not respond. However, an elderly male voice wafted out from the Resting Moon Palace's inner palace. "What's wrong? Doesn't the Radiance Federation see Tarot Round Table as valued guests?
"The Radiance Federation couldn't stop us even if we wanted to enter your imperial court! The Radiance Federation should take it as a sign of our greatest respect that we're willing to stay in the Resting Moon Palace!
"Since you're here, come in. The Resting Moon Palace is a rather pretty place, but the beverages are lacking. The Moon Empress sure doesn't know how to treat her guests. She didn't even serve us the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar!"
The elderly man's voice was relaxed and casual. It was a stark contrast from the girl's piercing screech.
But when Lin Yuan heard this elderly man's voice, the deadly aura in his gaze intensified.
The imperial court was prohibited territory to any federation. No one could enter it without an invitation!
Despite regarding the Vast Sea Labyrinth as their most treasured collaborator, the Radiance Federation had only arranged to meet with their three rulers in a small palace situated away from the central area. They had not been allowed to set foot into the main palace!
Yet, this old man not only had the gall to say he wanted to enter the Radiance Federation's imperial court but also said there was nothing that the federation could do to stop him!
Evidently, he looked down on the Radiance Federation and saw them as insignificant bugs!
If Lin Yuan had the capabilities to restrain such arrogant characters, he could dismiss them as having bad attitudes. But if Lin Yuan was unable to restrain this person and the Radiance Federation did something that displeased Tarot Round Table, their next step would be to threaten the Radiance Federation's imperial court!
Lin Yuan would not brush off this elderly man's words as empty threats, as Tarot Round Table had a reputation for such behavior!
Their forceful entry into the Resting Moon Palace was a warning to the Radiance Federation.
Since Tarot Round Table was harboring such thoughts, they were nothing more than a ticking bomb in relation to the Radiance Federation.
The Moon Empress had made a sacrifice for the Radiance Federation's sake by allowing them to stay in the Resting Moon Palace. Yet, they complained about the beverages she served and wanted to drink the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
Lin Yuan could not be bothered to waste words on these people. He did not respond to what the elderly man had said and asked, "I heard that you have come into possession of a significant amount of information about me. Just what is this information about?
"Since we're here to negotiate, let's get right to it! The Radiance Federation established the Major Federation Union intending to save all humans. We have been continuously sharing our resources with others and with no selfish intent. I'm sure Tarot Round Table has learned of this during your investigations!
"I don't care what you're trying to achieve by occupying the leadership positions in the Major Federation Union, but regardless, you should tell the Radiance Federation about Tower Canon to make our own preparations!"
Lin Yuan did not want to continue speaking with Tarot Round Table.
If they could not help Lin Yuan understand Tower Canon, he would have already seized control of and begun grilling this ticking time bomb!
Lin Yuan would not need to be present to interrogate Tarot Round Table as Eternal Source could do it in his place.
With the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom, Lin Yuan could ensure he would receive the answers he sought. But doing so would only waste more time.
Since the Tarot experts believed that he was in the palm of their hands, they would not have set up any defenses against him.
Thus, it would probably be easy for him to obtain information from them!
Once Lin Yuan was done speaking, a pleasant and gentle female voice echoed. "Tarot Round Table possesses a significant amount of information about you. We need you to help us obtain even more authority in the Major Federation Union. We will support you and keep your secrets from being revealed!"
Lin Yuan's lips twitched.
Not only were Tarot Round Table scheming after authority in the Major Federation Union, but they were also trying to control him and turn him into their puppet!
"Since you want me to serve you, I need to ask two questions. Once you answer them, it will give me a proper understanding of Tarot Round Table."
The elderly man spoke again. "It looks like you're easier to communicate with than we expected! Ask away. As long as it doesn't encroach into Tarot Round Table's key secrets, we can share some information with you!"
Lin Yuan immediately said, "I have already asked my first question, but you didn't answer me. I am curious to find out what secrets you know about me and what you plan on using to threaten mโ"
A sharp voice interrupted Lin Yuan. "You don't deserve to be threatened by us! We are well aware of your sister's situation. You are also on good terms with Chef Supreme's daughter and son-in-law.
"You were most likely only able to increase your power so quickly because of your sacred source lifeform. Your power only skyrocketed when you left the Radiance Federation for the Startling Lines Continent.
"Due to an unknown reason, you managed to obtain the mermaid mermaid bloodline and absorbed it into your body. You used your mermaid bloodline to convince the Freedom Federation's Goddess of Mercy to collude with you.
"Your Path Protector has deep ties with the Heavenly Family Cottage and used secret means to kill Fifth Page Truth in the Startling Lines Continent. This is just a portion of what we know about you. You have no secrets we don't know about!"
Lin Yuan relaxed. He had been concerned about what secrets Tarot Round Table knew about him!
It was true that their investigation into him had been very thorough. They had found out about many key points in his journey of growth.
Unfortunately, they still had no clue about his biggest secret, Morbius. It seemed he had done a good job of hiding it!
Although it seemed as though they had investigated him fully, they had only scratched the surface.
This caused Lin Yuan to lose interest in the information that Tarot Round Table knew about Tower Canon.
Furthermore, they had crossed his line.
Tarot Round Table first mentioned Chu Ci, Uncle Li, and Auntie Zhang because they wanted to hit his weaknesses. They wanted him to know that if he did not agree to their request, Chu Ci, Uncle Li, and Auntie Zhang would end up suffering or losing their lives.
After asking his first question, Lin Yuan suppressed his angry urges and asked, "What do you know about Tower Canon? I don't think you need to leverage any information you know about Tower Canon. The humans have already done all we can to defend against Tower Canon. There isn't anything else we can do to improve."
Lin Yuan's words caused the inner palace to fall silent momentarily.
The shrill female voice that Lin Yuan first heard when he entered screeched. "Tarot Round Table spent a lot of effort investigating Tower Canon. If the Radiance Federation wants to know about them, you must pay us!Follow the latest novels ๐๐ n๐
"The Radiance Federation will not be getting any information from us so easily! Even if we are given spots in the Major Federation Union's leadership, the Major Federation Union will have to purchase or trade information from us!
"We sent our people posing as the Eight Pages to infiltrate Tower Canon. You can't even imagine the full extent of what we know!"
Tarot Round Table finally broke the last strand of interest that was keeping Lin Yuan involved in this conversation.
Tarot Round Table had sent someone posing as the Eight Pages to infiltrate Tower Canon? This meant they would have the same status as Eighth Page Apoptosis. Hence, they probably only knew as much as he did.
Moreover, Lin Yuan could already guess which of the Eight Pages had been moles.
Eighth Page Apoptosis had fled with Seventh Page War and Third Page Eternal Sin.
Seventh Page War was a unique plant-type fey. If she had joined Tower Canon to find out more about their secrets, she would not have left to conquer the Dark Continent!
This meant that Tarot Round Table's mole had to be Third Page Eternal Sin!
By now, Lin Yuan had arrived at the inner palace. As he swept his gaze across the 30-odd people, it eventually landed on a familiar figure.
The Spirit Mother was a member of Tarot Round Table. Lin Yuan had not seen this coming at all!
Based on Eighth Page Apoptosis' description of Third Page Eternal Sin, the short-haired girl looking at him with amused interest had to be Third Page Eternal Sin!
Lin Yuan did not have the best impression of the Spirit Mother, but it was not bad either.
He asked the Spirit Mother, "Your Excellency, instead of staying with the Spirit Mother Federation and helping with its migration, you're here trying to grab one of the Major Federation Union's leadership positions. Normally, your status as a Class 5 Creation Master would have already guaranteed you a seat.
"Your Excellency, I would like to ask if you're representing Tarot Round Table and residing in the Resting Moon Palace signifies that your profit will be tied to that of Tarot Round Table from now on?"
The Spirit Mother had not expected to be called out by Lin Yuan or to even be remembered by him.
The Spirit Mother had no idea what Lin Yuan looked like, but he had been astounded by Lin Yuan's growth journey.
Lin Yuan's growth journey reminded him of Bu Po.
Lin Yuan had asked the Spirit Mother this because he had previously spoken with the Spirit Mother and knew he cared for the Spirit Mother Federation.
Lin Yuan also wanted to give the Spirit Mother a chance. But it seemed that the Spirit Mother could not understand his meaning and looked at him curiously.
"I am indeed the Spirit Mother, but I am also a Tarot member. Naturally, I will stick by them no matter what happens. Since you know who I am, let me introduce you to the rest!"
Lin Yuan snarled coldly, "There's no need for introductions. I'm not interested in getting to know a bunch of people who are headed for death!"
The moment he spoke, a familiar aura that even terrified Eternal Source burst out from Lin Yuan.
Previously, Lin Yuan was unable to fully control his aura when he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus. But now, he could completely control his aura and restrict it to the inner palace!
Chapter 2647 Lin Yuan Gets Violent With a Girl!
Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised by this ability to restrain his aura.
Normally, he did not have many opportunities to use the abilities that came with fusing with the Abyss Red Lotus. Thus, each chance he got was an opportunity for him to test and learn more about his capabilities.
When he first fused with the Abyss Red Lotus, his terrifying power had been felt in every corner of the subterranean world He had felt rather embarrassed by this.
Since he could not control his aura when he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus, his location would be exposed immediately once he used his power against Tower Canon.
But now, this issue had been perfectly addressed.
Two minutes ago, the people from Tarot Round Table saw Lin Yuan as merely easy pickings. But now, the tables had turned and he was the strong hunter that could kill the prey that was the experts from Tarot Round Table with one swipe of his claw.
Lin Yuan's aura caused the experts from Tarot Round Table to freeze. But almost immediately, their faces morphed into astonished bewilderment!
Lin Yuan's aura exceeded the comprehension of all the experts from Tarot Round Table!
Now that Lin Yuan wielded the might of the five dimensional worlds, if he was measured against Eternal Source, his power would be beyond the Afterlife Realm.
His power likely exceeded the World Emperor grade and reached an unprecedented level!
This was power that the experts from Tarot Round Table could only behold. They could never have imagined that it truly existed!
This was akin to a Myth Breed fey seeing itself as outstanding and constantly paraded around Fantasy Breed feys. But now, it was suddenly encountering an Immortal Breed fey and was receiving a shock to its system.
The experts from Tarot Round Table were all silent.
Lin Yuan had already used the Abyss Red Lotus' black roots to capture all the experts from Tarot Round Table.
Lin Yuan hissed to the Spirit Mother, "On account of Bu Po, my impression of you isn't completely bad and I was willing to give you a chance. But you chose to let that chance go. So you have no one to blame but yourself!"
Just as Lin Yuan was about to instruct the Abyss Red Lotus to use its roots to strike, the elderly voice rang out again.
But this time, his voice had lost all of its previous composure and was solely filled with panic.
"Without Tarot Round Table, the Radiance Federation and Major Federation Union's plan to take on Tower Canon will be doomed to fail! Don't assume that Vast Sea Labyrinth will be willing to help you wholeheartedly just because you're working together! Such kindness doesn't exist in this world! If the humans could coexist with the sea clans, there wouldn't be federations that are unable to share their cultures because they lack Island Whales!"
The elderly man's words made sense and Lin Yuan could not find anything wrong with it.
However, the elderly man only said this because he was not aware of the power that Lin Yuan possessed or that he intended to fuse the five dimensional worlds with the main world. The dimensional worlds from the five dimensional worlds would all contribute their strength towards defending the dead spirits crisis.
Lin Yuan was not the type to believe the promises of others easily. If he was, he would have either succumbed to an evil plot some time ago or be constantly bullied.
But in fact, he rarely experienced drawbacks during his journey of growth.
Lin Yuan's relationship with Vast Sea Labyrinth was not based on trade. He was saving them. So, Vast Sea Labyrinth would definitely do their best to work with the humans and tackle the dead spirits crisis.
Lin Yuan had the power to control all of the sea any of them had straying thoughts, all he needed to do was weed them out.
Those who knew Lin Yuan saw him as the kind of person who preferred to keep a low profile. But in actuality, he was just cautious and preferred to keep his power and background a secret.
This was because previously, he did not believe that he possessed power that warranted showing off. But now that he did, the way he carried himself during his activities had significantly changed.
"What you said is correct based on what you know. But you have no idea that your corpse might become useful in defending against the dead spirits crisis."
Lin Yuan looked up at the girl whose eyes shimmered intermittently and asked, "You must be Third Page Eternal Sin, right?"
Lin Yuan's words sent a shiver running up Third Page Eternal Sin's body.
If Eighth Page Apoptosis saw this, he would definitely suspect that this was not the real Third Page Eternal Sin.
When a lifeform encountered a power beyond its comprehension in its world, its world would quickly collapse and it would devolve into a state of fright.
Lin Yuan's words made Third Page Eternal Sin feel as though she had found the string of hope she could cling to for survival.
She was the spy that Tarot Round Table had sent to infiltrate Tower Canon and she knew a fair amount about them. In the eyes of both the Radiance Federation and humans, she posed significant value. If she used what she knew about Tower Canon as a bargaining chip, she should be able to ensure her survival.
With this thought, Third Page Eternal Sin hastily nodded.
When he saw Third Page Eternal Sin nod, Lin Yuan said seriously, "I will ask you a few questions. Remember not to lie to me! I'm sure you are aware of what the consequences will be if I find out that you lied!"
Lin Yuan spread the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's spores on Third Page Eternal Sin's body.
He covered the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's spores with his aura so Third Page Eternal Sin did not notice them landing on her body.
Lin Yuan did not tell Third Page Eternal Sin that Eighth Page Apoptosis was already under his control.
He was not going to ask Third Page Eternal Sin about Tower Canon as he had already heard everything from Eighth Page Apoptosis. Given that they were both part of the Eight Pages of Tower Canon, it would not make sense for her to know more than Eighth Page Apoptosis.
Before Lin Yuan made his move, he still wanted to give some of Tarot Round Table's experts a chance. After all, minority opinion was sometimes drowned out by the majority in a team.
"What is Tarot Round Table's real goal for coming to the Radiance Federation? You're not just after the leadership positions so you can stand a better chance of surviving the dead spirits crisis, right?"
Instinctively, Third Page Eternal Sin wanted to lie.
Someone who used to keeping up a facade always found it difficult to tell the truth!
But when the lie reached the tip of her tongue, Third Page Eternal Sin hurriedly pushed it down.
She realized that this young man was able to ask her questions so calmly because he had obtained some secret or important information.
This young man seemed to be familiar with the Spirit Mother and had mentioned Bu Po. Bu Po seemed to be the reserve disciple who the Spirit Mother had picked to be his successor.
Third Page Eternal Sin suddenly suspected that there was a spy in Tarot Round Table.
Despite knowing that she would anger the young man, Third Page Eternal Sin said honestly, "We want the leadership position in the Major Federation Union because we want each of us to have control over a federation. The Spirit Mother is in charge of the Spirit Mother Federation and gets to enjoy being worshiped by the entire Spirit Mother Federation. We also want to lead such lives! Moreover, once the dead spirits crisis breaks out, there will be nowhere to hide. The Radiance Federation is the best option as a safe haven!"
Lin Yuan's blood boiled.
The Spirit Mother was able to lead the Spirit Mother Federation because he was born there. He only joined Tarot Round Table later in life when he became more powerful and was given an opportunity. As such, he would definitely prioritize the Spirit Mother Federation's development.
On the other hand, the other members of Tarot Round Table felt no sense of belonging to any of the federations. If they took control of a federation, they would treat it the same way as someone who bought a new house and decided to fix up the garden. Their goal would be to groom the federation according to their tastes.
If Tarot Round Table carried out their objective, the citizens of the federations they chose would be in dire straits!
Lin Yuan furiously asked his second question.
"Has anyone objected to this plan?"
Third Page Eternal Sin instinctively looked around at the other members of Tarot Round Table.
Most of the experts from Tarot Round Table thought that Lin Yuan would provide them with a way out after threatening them.
Their fate hung in the balance of Third Page Eternal Sin's answer.
Third Page Eternal Sin knew that she should not lie to Lin Yuan. But she still could not stop herself from saying, "There were indeed people who opposed this idea."
Once Third Page Eternal Sin was done speaking, Lin Yuan received feedback from the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's exclusive skill Honesty Reflects the Heart.
Since Third Page Eternal Sin's denial was a lie, it meant that every member of Tarot Round Table was evil.
If even one of them had opposed this, Third Page Eternal Sin would not have been deemed to be lying.
Lin Yuan had opened up a way out for her and was holding the door open.
While Third Page Eternal Sin was waiting for Lin Yuan's reply so she could bring up what she knew about Tower Canon, she noticed that Lin Yuan's left fist was still tightly clenched.
Aside from Eternal Source, all other signs of life disappeared from Resting Moon Palace's inner palace.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and released Red Thorn's main body.
Red Thorn looked at the corpses and said to Lin Yuan excitedly, "Lin Yuan, every Tongue of Relinquish has two tongue pouches. Aside from the Abyss Great Emperor, there is still space for the corpses of another five experts. These corpses are still in very complete condition and all the feys have been trapped in the spiritual spatial zone. Once I turn them into fairies, they will be able to control their feys, sacred source lifeforms, and precious instruments to do battle! However, it might take a little longer to transform them!"
Lin Yuan did not mind and nodded. Regardless of how long it took Red Thorn to transform these corpses, it would not take longer than the Abyss Great new ๐hapters ๐n n๐v(๐)
One batch would take two to three months at most.
Every three months, an expert would be added to the army that defended against the dead spirits crisis. This would not make a significant impact on the dead spirits crisis that would last for hundreds or thousands of years.
Red Thorn placed the corpses in the Diamond fey storage box that Lin Yuan had specially made for it. It was in the shape of a small red flower bud clip. Red Thorn liked it immensely! The long red ribbons that hung from the sides of the clip reminded Red Thorn of the old days with Lin Yuan.
After Red Thorn stored the corpses away, Lin Yuan returned Red Thorn's main body to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He allowed Red Thorn to sit on his ear and he listened to it hum.
Lin Yuan did not leave Resting Moon Palace's inner palace immediately. There were too many signs of life left behind by Tarot Round Table's experts. Lin Yuan saw this as he had dirtied Resting Moon Palace.
Lin Yuan let out a few of the Hundred Questions Beasts and assigned them to perform their natural abilities as housekeeping beasts. The Hundred Questions Beasts quickly cleaned up Resting Moon Palace until it was spick and span.
Lin Yuan only walked out of Resting Moon Palace when he was certain that it was completely clean.
Eternal Source silently followed Lin Yuan. His gaze when he looked at Lin Yuan was filled with even more admiration than before. He was even leaning towards worshipping Lin Yuan!
Eternal Source always knew that Lin Yuan was kind and generous and rarely showed the might of a powerful being.
He had not killed many Dictators in the subterranean world. He had not even made an example out of anyone!
Frankly, Eternal Source preferred cruel and merciless leaders to warm and kind ones.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan's eventual aim was the Sky Beyond the Clouds. If he maintained such a soft nature, he would eventually be taken advantage of.
But now, Eternal Source was finally getting to see the deadly and decisive side of Lin Yuan. This also allowed Eternal Source to understand that Lin Yuan was kind to his own people. He did have a vicious side that he showed to outsiders but up until now, he had not had many opportunities to display it.
Lin Yuan noticed the change in Eternal Source's attitude but did not comment on it. After all, he always acted true to himself.
Taking the big picture into consideration, Lin Yuan would probably not have killed all the experts from Tarot Round Table if Red Thorn had not obtained the ability Tongue Pouch Births Demons when it evolved to Diamond grade. Instead, he would have allowed them to live despite knowing that they would not be easy to manage. He would have forced them to swear their loyalty to him. This would only be because this would enable him to save more lives during the dead spirits crisis.
This might have caused him to seem weak to Eternal Source who lived by the law of the jungle but Lin Yuan's actions reinforced his goal.
Lifeforms of different levels, species, and who lived in different environments naturally had different ways of thinking.
Lin Yuan was not looking down on Eternal Source. But with Eternal Source's stubborn forcefulness, even if he somehow managed to exceed the main world's limits and make it to the Sky Beyond the Clouds on his own merit, he would either end up joining a faction or becoming the subordinate of another expert. He did not have the chops to build and lead his own faction!
Previously, Lin Yuan thought that humans were much weaker than dimensional lifeforms as it was much more difficult for them to increase their power and their bodies were also much frailer.
But now, he suddenly felt that humans were much more guileful. This might be the advantage that they had over dimensional lifeforms!
Chapter 2648 The Moon Empress' Sense of Security!
This natural advantage was what allowed humans to rule over the land and all the feys that lived on it, as well as stand toe-to-toe against the sea clans!
Lin Yuan's mermaid bloodline might seem stronger than his human one but he saw his human bloodline as his true bloodline.
"Eternal Source, I will be sending the Abyss Great Emperor away to transform him. During this time, you can stay in the Radiant Moon Palace! Don't forget to make my master's safety your top priority. If you do this well, I will help you take another step forward! The Afterlife Realm won't be the ceiling of your power."
Eternal Source was ecstatic when he heard what Lin Yuan said. It meant that he was an important asset to Lin Yuan. Otherwise, he would not assign him such an important task.
Eternal Source had been feeling rather enlightened ever since he reached the Afterlife Realm. Now that he had reached the Afterlife Realm, he could see the vast majesty of the world that had opened up to him!
He had been the strongest Samsara Realm Dictator in the marsh world. Confidence was not something he lacked.
But now, there was a fact that he needed to accept. This fact was that he would not be able to move on from the Afterlife Realm through his own effort and potential.
Truthfully, he was only able to reach the Afterlife Realm with Lin Yuan's help as well.
He knew that without the pure source-type power that Lin Yuan had given him, he would not be able to reach the Afterlife Realm even after another few thousand years passed.
Lin Yuan's trust in him was one matter. But Lin Yuan was also willing to provide him with benefits. This proved that Lin Yuan truly saw him as a close subordinate.
Given that Lin Yuan was willing to provide him with the resources to evolve past the Afterlife Realm, he would also be willing to continue nurturing him to even greater heights.
"Young Master, don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I will not allow any danger to befall your master."
Eternal Source did not give a guarantee because he knew that Lin Yuan was a pragmatic person.
He could not make any grounded guarantees when his opponent was the Eight Pages of Tower Canon.
But by saying this, it showed his earnesty and resolution.
Eternal Source had learned a fair amount after his extended interactions with humans.
The way that he addressed Lin Yuan had also changed from 'Lord' to 'Young Master'. This came from his observation that only those who were truly close to Lin Yuan called him by his name. Eternal Source yearned to enter that inner circle.
Lin Yuan patted Eternal Source's shoulder. He was very satisfied with Eternal Source's answer.
Lin Yuan would take Chu Ci into the Spirit Lock spatial zone and she would live there safely until Tower Canon was dealt with. The pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone would also strengthen Chu Ci's power.
It made no difference whether one contracted the Lifespan Mouse earlier or later in life. But if one formed a contract with it earlier, they would be able to retain the looks of their younger self!
Once Chu Ci and Wen Yu were back, Lin Yuan intended to give Chu Ci, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and his other close ones a Lifespan Mouse each so they could accumulate as much lifespan as possible.
Due to the limited supply of the Lifespan Mouse and because Lin Yuan had already given the Moon Empress many of them, the non-key members of Sky City such as the white-clothed followers would not be able to contact the Lifespan Mouse anytime soon.
However, Lin Yuan had already sent instructions to collate the ages of all the white-clothed followers. He would make sure that every one of them contracted the Lifespan Mouse before they came to the end of their lifespans.
Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and the rest still needed to train and this dead spirits crisis would be the best training environment.
Based on Lin Yuan's understanding of Chu Ci, it was likely that she also intended on using the dead spirits crisis to train herself.
However, she was still too young and weak. She did not have the capabilities to be a leader. Lin Yuan would only be able to lay his worries to rest if he knew that she was in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Apart from Chu Ci, the Moon Empress was Lin Yuan's closest loved new ๐hapters ๐n n๐v(๐)
As a member of the Radiance Federation's royalty who was also overseeing operations of the entire Radiance Federation, there was no way that she would agree to take shelter in the Spirit Lock spatial zone during such a time.
Lin Yuan could think on behalf of Chu Ci and tell her what to do but he could not do the same to the Moon Empress.
Assigning Eternal Source to protect the Moon Empress was the most that he could do for her.
The strongest protector that Lin Yuan could send was an Afterlife Realm expert like Eternal Source.
With Eternal Source protecting the Moon Empress, even if Tower Canon secretly ambushed her, Lin Yuan would be able to use the Ethereal Jellyfish's Node Transportation to transport himself to the Moon Empress' side immediately while Eternal Source was fending Tower Canon off.
This was not the first time that Lin Yuan had patted Eternal Source's shoulder but this time, Eternal Source felt a greater sense of security than he ever felt before because Lin Yuan had given him assurance.
Before Lin Yuan exhibited his power, Eternal Source assumed that he was the strongest combat power that Lin Yuan had.
But as he spent more time by Lin Yuan's side and learned more about the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he knew that his power would not seem as impressive there.
When Eternal Source found out that Keira was a lifeform from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he immediately began communicating with her.
Most of Eternal Source's unease appeared after Keira appeared.
Keira had sensed Eternal Source's unease but she still told him about her circumstances. This was the only way to convince Eternal Source to empathize with her.
Keira was only trying to become acquainted with Eternal Source. Whether this gave him a sense of security or made him more anxious was his own problem.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Resting Moon Palace, Lin Yuan saw the Moon Empress standing there with the Abyss Great Emperor. There was anxiousness written all over her face and she kept peering into Resting Moon Palace.
Lin Yuan had never seen the Moon Empress in such a state.
Before the Moon Empress could move over to his side, he reached her first and said softly, "Master, you don't have to worry. I have handled Tarot Round Table. You don't need to worry about them anymore!"
The Moon Empress had arrived at the Resting Moon Palace after Lin Yuan and she had been waiting by the entrance for less than an hour.
Yet, he had already settled the matter!
Indeed, the Moon Empress could not sense any energy fluctuations coming from within Resting Moon Palace's inner palace and thought.
It looks like there's no need for me to step in. Otherwise, I would still be able to feel some energy fluctuations.
The Moon Empress was finally able to relax when she saw Lin Yuan.
But given the magnitude of this matter, the Moon Empress still asked Lin Yuan, "Little Yuan, did Tarot Round Table make more unreasonable requests? You can tell me if they tried to threaten you. I'll help you to come up with a plan. If I fuse with Forage Moon, I will be just as strong as a spirit fire expert!"
The Moon Empress looked at Lin Yuan kindly. He could see determination in her gaze.
He did not know what it meant for Forage Moon to fuse with the Moon Empress. But it would require a huge price for a birth horoscope expert to unleash spirit fire power!
Lin Yuan hurriedly told the Moon Empress, "Master, Tarot Round Table did make some insane demands. They wanted each of them to occupy a federation. The Spirit Mother of the Spirit Mother Federation is also a member of Tarot Round Table. They want to be worshipped by a federation the same way that the Spirit Mother is worshipped by the Spirit Mother Federation. But they had no intention of shouldering the responsibilities that come with it. From their intentions, it's clear that their final goal is to take control of the entire human world and gain more decision-making authority in the human world."
The Moon Empress froze when she heard what Lin Yuan said.
If Tarot Round Table truly had such intentions, it was unlikely that there was anyone in the human world who be able to oppose them.
The Mirror God and God of Fools from the Freedom Federation had both set their spirit fire alight. With them and the Radiance Federation's Spacetime Elder, there would only be three spirit fire experts.
The Moon Empress had not included the spirit fire expert from the Azure Federation.
It would not be strange if the Azure Federation chose to side with Tarot Round Table after learning of their power.
Even if the Azure Federation, Radiance Federation, and Freedom Federation banded together and the four spirit fire experts were able to stand up to Tarot Round Table, Tarot Round Table had far too many birth horoscope experts.
Before the Moon Empress' worries could grow, Lin Yuan said seriously, "Master, I have eliminated all of the people from Tarot Round Table! You know that I have taken control of Di Wanmi's corpse and am continuing to use her as a Class 5 Creation Master. I can use a similar method to control the people from Tarot Round Table. They will become just as obedient as Di Wanmi and contribute to the defense against the dead spirits crisis!"
Lin Yuan immediately began describing to the Moon Empress everything he had done and thought of in the Resting Moon Palace. This would prevent her from becoming worried because of any misunderstandings she had.
Astonishment spread across the Moon Empress' face.
At this moment, Lin Yuan's image in the Moon Empress' mind was once again refreshed.
But regardless, the Moon Empress knew that Lin Yuan was her disciple.
She turned and helped him to adjust his already-neat collar before she waved and said, "Little Yuan, the other members of the Radiance Federation's royalty also knew about Tarot Round Table's experts staying in the Resting Moon Palace. I will hold an imperial meeting to tell them about what happened. Youโฆ"
The Moon Empress had been filled with happiness after learning about the power he possessed.
But at the same time, she felt the slightest hint of bitterness.
She was the master yet she was being protected by her disciple!
The Moon Empress had only been able to enjoy the feeling of guiding Lin Yuan and holding question-and-answer sessions with him for a little over a year.
At this moment, the Moon Empress sensed that Eternal Source was standing behind her. He seemed to be intending on following her.
She turned to look back at him before she shifted her gaze over to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled and waved at her as he said, "Master, Eternal Source will be your bodyguard from now on. He will protect you! Don't worry about me. My safety is assured!"
When the Moon Empress heard the first part of what Lin Yuan said, she was about to turn him down when she heard the second part of what he said and could not stop herself from taking in a sharp breath.
She waved back silently to Lin Yuan.
When she turned back, the smile on her face was faint but her heart was extremely warm.
The warmest feeling she had ever experienced in her life thus far came from this disciple of hers.
After the Moon Empress left, Lin Yuan got in touch with Qin Yu.
All the Land Imps had been sent to the Startling Lines Continent and were being managed by Qin Yu.
These Land Imps had the experience of building the Radiance Federation's base so Qin Yu did not need to spend a lot of time guiding them.
However, he did need to supervise them.
The building of the Startling Lines Continent's base was extremely important and Lin Yuan needed to check on the progress.
Moreover, he was done with his discussion with Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Lin Yuan needed to create a space near the Radiance Federation to house the sea clans before the experts from Vast Sea Labyrinth arrived.
Vast Sea Labyrinth's biggest worry was that they would arrive at the Radiance Federation and the dead spirits crisis would begin before Lin Yuan combined the main world with the five dimensional worlds. If that happened, the migration of the sea clans would be for naught.
Lin Yuan knew why Ice Flow, Ice Clarity, and Ice Flow made many requests despite knowing that doing so would give the humans more advantage over them.
Lin Yuan was very willing to show his sincerity to this partner who would be helping him to take on the dead spirits crisis.
Moreover, Lin Yuan already intended on building a platform at the bottom of the sea so the Sea Burial Lotus Flower would be able to create a sea of Bone Lotus Flowers there and use the dead spirits crisis to increase its power.
Ever since Lin Yuan gave this important task to Qin Yu, Qin Yu had treasured this chance.
Every day, he reported everything that happened before he went to bed.
Hence, he was very detailed in his answers to Lin Yuan's questions.
In this regard, Qin Yu did a much better job than Ta Lei.
Previously, Lin Yuan always felt that Ta Lei's competence was lacking because he had no one to help him. But now, it seemed that this was not the case as Qin Yu was also alone with no one to help him.
The laying down of the metal-type stone boards in the Radiance Federation had already been completed.
Lin Yuan sent a message to Qin Yu.
[Lin Yuan: Ah Yu, it looks like you have a good grip over the 15 million Land Imps. I will send you another 12 million Land Imps around three days later. Bring Sweet Vanquish with you to receive them.
Qin Yu was over the moon when he received Lin Yuan's message.
The more jobs Lin Yuan assigned to him, the more he felt validated in his capabilities.
[Qin Yu: Young Master, that is no problem at all. The Land Imps you sent me have done so well. The laying down of the metal-type stone boards in the Startling Lines Continent is already almost 80% complete. I intend on finishing the project with these 15 million Land Imps. I will send the 12 million Land Imps to the bottom of the sea to lay down the metal-type stone boards there. I hope you can assign some experts from the sea clans to me. I need them to create an environment that will be conducive for the Land Imps to work in! I noticed that in spite of the Land Imps' cowardly natures, they will do whatever they can to play sly tricks and find loopholes. If we don't provide them with a comfortable environment, their speed will decline and I'm worried that they will take shortcuts.
Chapter 2649 Easily Gained Faith!
[Qin Yu: I have sent out all of the Dictators you sent me to watch the Land Imps work.
Lin Yuan could not help but be impressed by Qin Yu when he saw the message.
Lin Yuan felt that it was very praiseworthy that Qin Yu could pick up on the Land Imps' issues while he was leading them.
[Lin Yuan: The first batch of sea clan experts should be near the Startling Lines Continent by the time the 12 million Land Imps reach you. I will instruct them to make contact with you and they will do their best to assist you with the construction!
Now that he was done communicating with Qin Yu, Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion.
He took out a piece of paper and began concentrating on drawing up a layout so he could visualize how the five dimensional worlds would be connected to the main world.
Lin Yuan intended to finish all the preparation work before he fused the worlds.
For someone like Lin Yuan who always liked to be ready as early as possible, he was never careless when it came to preparation work.
He knew that the coming few days would be the last peaceful ones for a long time.
Wen Yu sent a message to Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
[Wen Yu: Young Master, I am done investigating all the land on the other side of the Barren Sea! I told every federation ruler here about the dead spirits crisis. Many of them were very rude to us. A few of them outright ordered their men to attack me without giving me the chance to speak. Thanks to Dazzling Silver and the rest, there haven't been any serious injuries. Naturally, there were some who were willing to listen and asked for help with their migration. Miss Chu Ci, Bei Xu, and I have collected every Continent Vein Core. There are a total of 21 of them. They are all in my possession.
Lin Yuan's face lit up.
Although Wen Yu had made sure to mention Chu Ci and Bei Xu, Lin Yuan knew that they had not provided her with much help. Rather, she would have had to go the extra mile to take care of the two of them.
Wen Yu had managed to obtain 21 Continent Vein Cores. This was not only more than what Lin Yuan had been expecting but she also completed the task sooner than he had expected.
[Lin Yuan: Wen Yu, I am in the Radiance Federation now. I will immediately travel to Sky Bearer City through the Space Tunnel. Let's talk more when we meet!
Lin Yuan stored away the completed layout diagram before he immediately headed to the Space Tunnel situated at the entrance of the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift.
He believed that he would have no need to head to the other side of the Barren Sea again after this trip to Sky Bearer City!
It was already Lin Yuan's biggest act of kindness for him to tell the human federations on the other side of the Barren Sea about the news of the impending dead spirits crisis. He had even offered them the opportunity to relocate. If the rulers had been willing to relocate, Lin Yuan could have relocated every citizen from the federations to the Radiance Federation where their survival would be assured.
Lin Yuan did not have the time for Wen Yu to try to persuade the federations who attacked her without giving her the chance to say her piece. After all, he had to incur costs and it took up time for him to relocate the federations' citizens.
When he arrived at Sky Bearer City, Wen Yu was waiting for him by the entrance.
Once she spotted him, Wen Yu began telling him everything that had happened.
When she was done with her report, Wen Yu said softly, "I discovered a total of 37 federations on the other side of the Barren Sea. After hearing my warning, only nine of them have agreed to relocate. The other 28 seem to have absolutely no inclination to relocate. There are even a few who, after hearing my repeated warnings, said they wanted to work together to take me down! Young Master, how should we handle these nine federations?"
Wen Yu's beginnings came from the Radiant Moon Palace and she used to be a moon ๐ew chapters on n๐ve/lbi๐.com
Although moon attendants did not have much real authority in the Radiant Moon Palace, it was still a very prestigious position. They represented the Radiant Moon Palace whenever the Radiance Federation interacted with other factions.
With her prestigious upbringing, Wen Yu was able to see things with exceptional clarity.
It was because of this that she did not ask about the other 28 federations at all. Even if Lin Yuan wanted to save the 28 federations, they did not deserve to be saved by him.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before he asked Wen Yu, "What is the population size of the nine federations?"
Wen Yu immediately answered, "These nine federations who agreed to relocate are all considered the weaker ones among all the federations on the other side of the Barren Sea. Rather than saying that I managed to convince them, it would be more accurate to say that they are just seizing any opportunity to change their fates! These nine federations have a combined population that is smaller than the Radiance Federation's major cities. But it won't be easy to relocate them."
Lin Yuan nodded gently.
If the nine federations had a combined population that was smaller than one of the Radiance Federation's major cities, it would take around two days to relocate all of them.
Two days later, most of the people from the federations participating in the Major Federation Union would have arrived in the Radiance Federation's vicinity.
By the time the people from the nine federations were relocated, it would also be time for Lin Yuan to return to the Radiance Federation and begin the process of combining the main world with the dimensional worlds!
Lin Yuan released the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle from the Spirit Lock spatial zone. It had become a mobile piece of land.
Lin Yuan could move the people from the nine federations to the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle's back and send them to the marsh world.
Even if the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle could not move all the people at once, it would be done in two or three trips.
The only part of the plan that would take up time was moving all the people from the nine federations onto the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle's back.
Lin Yuan received the 21 Continent Vein Cores from Wen Yu and placed them all next to the Abyss Red Lotus. The Abyss Red Lotus' roots soon wrapped around the 21 Continent Vein Cores.
He would be able to tap into the power in the Continent Vein Cores when he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus.
Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci and saw that she had become tanner after baking in the sun on the other side of the Barren Sea. But the light oat coloring made her seem more energetic than before.
Lin Yuan reached out and pressed down on the stray strands of hair on Chu Ci's head that were sticking out as he asked with a smile, "Previously, you were constantly talking about wanting to go to train. So how was your time training with Wen Yu?"
Normally, Chu Ci would become jittery with excitement when Lin Yuan asked her such a question.
But now, she felt strangely calm when she answered his question.
After a moment's contemplation, Chu Ci said seriously, "Big Brother, I was able to get a good look at this work during my time with Sister Wen Yu! I used to think that we had a tough childhood. But now, I don't think we can call our childhoods tough at all!"
Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci with satisfaction. She was finally beginning to understand that this world was filled with pain and hardship. It could be said that it was only at this moment that she truly began understanding this world.
Chu Ci was only 17 years old. This made her old enough to learn the fact that living in this world was arduous.
Lin Yuan's gladness did not last long before he heard Chu Ci say seriously, "Big Brother, I heard from Sister Wen Yu that there will be a dead spirits crisis arriving very soon. I want toโฆ"
Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by Lin Yuan.
"Chu Ci, you will have plenty of opportunities to grow. I will definitely be taking you with me to another world in the future! I hope you can grow in a safe environment instead of a perilous one. I will find a safe place for you to stay and where you can increase your power. The dead spirits crisis will last for a very long time. It won't be too late for you to continue training once you become sufficiently strong!"
Lin Yuan spoke in a decisive tone. There was no one in this world who knew Chu Ci better than Lin Yuan did.
Chu Ci was very strong-headed. If he did not shoot her down, she would bite down on any shred of hope and refuse to let go.
Chu Ci had called him 'Big Brother' twice. It was likely that she would be calling him 'Lin Yuan' again after what he just said.
Chu Ci looked back at Wen Yu after she heard what Lin Yuan said.
Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched. She was actually trying to find supporters!
Wen Yu smiled and shook her head when she met Chu Ci's gaze, signaling that she could not help. She said to Chu Ci, "Young Master is just worried about you. Don't forget that without the protection of Dazzling Silver and the rest, the two of us would have already died many times over! The dead spirits crisis won't be like our expedition for the Continent Vein Cores. It will be much more dangerous!"
Chu Ci pursed her lips and looked at Lin Yuan.
Chu Ci's emotional intelligence was not the only way in which she had grown after her training with Wen Yu. She had also gained experience and character.
As such, she could understand that Lin Yuan had made such a request because he cared about her.
"Big Brother, I know already! I will sit tight and increase my power until it reaches a level that is satisfactory to you. But once I reach that level, you have to allow me to join the fight against the dead spirits crisis!"
Chu Ci spoke with great sincerity.
Chu Ci was not insistent on participating in the dead spirits crisis.
However, her brother and master were both helping to protect the main world by fighting the dead spirits crisis.
Chu Ci also wanted to share Lin Yuan's burden and make things easier for them.
Lin Yuan was a transmigrator and the education from his previous life gave him a traditional personal value system.
However, the only family that Chu Ci had ever known was Lin Yuan. Apart from him, the only people she had in her childhood were Auntie Zhang and Uncle Li. Thus, there were very few people who she cared about in this world. Cold Moon, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and the others only entered her life later.
Nonetheless, she only wanted to protect these precious people who were part of her small circle. She felt no noble obligation to save the world.
When Lin Yuan heard what Chu Ci said, he could not help but hug her.
His little sister had finally grown up!
Now that he was done speaking with Chu Ci, he realized that Bei Xu was nowhere to be seen. As such, he asked Wen Yu, "What is Bei Xu doing now?"
Wen Yu immediately answered, "Young Master, I wanted to train Bei Xu so I left him behind to gather the people from the nine federations. He has not come back to Sky Bearer City yet. Thanks to the many Dictators that you assigned to me, I was able to move the people from the nine federations nearer to the Sky Bearer City very quickly."
Lin Yuan waved at Wen Yu and Chu Ci.
"Let's go. It's time for us to lead this people in their migration!"
Sky Bearer City was situated below the Grotto Continent and it made Lin Yuan feel very suffocated. He only relaxed when he arrived at the surface.
Wen Yu pointed northwest.
"The people from the federations are arriving from the northwest direction. If the Island Whales are sent to fetch them, they will be able to climb onto the Island Whales' backs very quickly."
Lin Yuan shook his head. He did not send the Vast Sea Labyrinth's Island Whales to fetch the citizens from the federations on the other side of the Barren Sea.
Firstly, the other side of the Barren Sea was far too remote. Even if the Island Whales were able to locate them, it would waste too much time.
Secondly, Vast Sea Labyrinth had been accumulating resources and had thousands of the Island Whales. Nonetheless, there still would not be enough Island Whales to move all the people from the federations.
Luckily, Lin Yuan had other means of relocating the federation citizens.
Bei Xu was keeping in contact with Wen Yu and knew that Lin Yuan would be arriving soon. Hence, he kept looking in the direction that she had left in.
Once he spotted Lin Yuan, Bei Xu stood up and started waving at him.
Bei Xu was not the kind of person who was afraid of hardship. Rather, he liked tasks that came with some difficulty as they would allow him to train himself.
However, the task that Wen Yu had given him was really challenging him.
Even if these people were easy to manage, he did not have the experience of managing millions of people. Moreover, these millions of people came from nine different factions. It was inevitable that there would be friction when they were all gathered together.
It would not be as easy as Qin Yu managing the Land Imps.
Wen Yu had assigned numerous experts to protect him but they were not able to help him to manage these people like how Sweet Vanquish could help Qin Yu to manage the Land Imps.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and waved at Bei Xu.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan realized that immediately after he arrived, faint glowing dots of light that represented the faith from many people from the nine federations.
This slightly confused Lin Yuan. But he quickly came up with a reason for this
It was likely that Wen Yu and Bei Xu had been treating these people very well during the migration process.
Wen Yu had stocked up on the Soldier Ration Radishes and probably distributed them to these people. The Soldier Ration Radishes prevented the federation citizens from starving to death.
Lin Yuan had witnessed the cruel environment of the Grotto Continent and Broiling Rock Continent. The biggest dream of the regular citizens living on the other side of the Barren Sea was to have a proper meal.
It was because of this reason that all of them had pinned their hopes onto him.
Chapter 2650 The Second One to be Eliminated!
Those who had been put through life's wringer would be more easily enamored by an unknown, powerful being. This enamorment would eventually turn into faith!
Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to earn the faith of the people from the nine federations. Now, he found it.
He released Lift Marsh.
To the people from the nine federations, Lift Marsh was a mammoth creature beyond their collective wildest dreams!
Lift Marsh raised its head and let out a roar that rippled through the sky and pushed apart the clouds. Suddenly, there was not a cloud to be seen in the previously cloud-covered sky!
Lift Marsh's ability to do this did not come from having an ability similar to Chimey's. It only possessed abilities related to earth elements.
It was able to do this because it was a giant lifeform. Any movement in its body was bolstered by its qi. It had used the strength from its qi to drive all the clouds out from the sky.
Lift Marsh could be considered the equivalent of a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator in an actual battle setting. However, at merely the Turning Wheel Realm, it would suffer if it only depended on its qi and body to do battle.
But Lin Yuan had not nurtured Lift Marsh for combat purposes.
All the various marsh soil that he had fed to Lift Marsh had not gone to waste! They had all gathered on its back. From now on, he could nurture any plant-type fey he wanted on Lift Marsh's back.
Once Lift Marsh grew even larger, Lin Yuan could move it into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Even Lin Yuan, who saw Lift Marsh often, could not help but be awed by its size, much less the humans from the nine weak federations who came from the other side of the Barren Sea!
At the instant that he summoned Lift Marsh, Lin Yuan could sense the fountain of faith in his divine kingdom filling up with even more flowing dots of light. The first few dots of faith that came from the people from the nine federations were also steadily growing larger.
Lin Yuan spread the black wings on his back and flew up to Lift Marsh's head.
At this moment, he could be described as a celestial being who had descended to earth.
He looked at the people from the nine federations and said seriously, "You might see this migration as a risk, but I want to tell you that it is actually an opportunity for you to transform. I won't say anything more. You can see for yourselves!
"Move onto the giant turtle's back in groups of three federations! Remember to be as quick as you can. I will only give you two days to complete your migration. If you aren't done in two days, the leaders of the nine federations will be left behind here to be feasted on by dead spirits!"
If a federation could survive independently without Lin Yuan's help, they would only follow him because their leaders trusted him. But this was the complete opposite situation.
Lin Yuan seemed to hold the leaders of the nine federations captive, but they were convinced by and trusted him.
All of them knew that they held no value to this celestial-like young man. Since they had no value, he did not need to scheme to entrap them.
Furthermore, none of them were hiding any exceptional treasures. Weak federations like them all had to provide offerings to the powerful federations.
There was no need for this celestial-like young man to lie to them.
If they could not complete the migration in two days, they would really be abandoned here! Hence, all the rulers of the nine federations began focusing on the tasks surrounding the migration.
They were all in the same boat. Thus, it did not matter which federations were part of the first group to migrate!
Lin Yuan had come up with this arrangement because he had been afraid that the nine federations would begin fighting over who would be the first to migrate. He also did not want his deadline to unnecessarily cause the regular people to panic.
The rulers of the nine federations did hold absolute authority over their own federations, and their citizens quickly lined up into long rows.
Lift Marsh usually stayed in the marsh world. It rarely had the chance to be close to Lin Yuan ever since it became an Apostle. It also had not known Lin Yuan for as long as Wendy, Rising Lizard, and White Pavilion. Hence, it really enjoyed the opportunity to be close to him.
Lift Marsh raised its head continuously to stare affectionately at Lin Yuan. Due to the largeness of its body, it could not move too physically close to Lin Yuan. Otherwise, it would dive into Lin Yuan's arms each time it saw him, just like Wendy did.
Since the people from the nine federations saw Lin Yuan as a celestial being, they saw Lift Marsh as a celestial turtle that could move the earth and sky!
Lift Marsh's clear affection for Lin Yuan deepened these people's fearful respect for him.
The sand below their feet was whipped up and formed thousands of long staircases that led from the ground to Lift Marsh's back. All these people needed to do to relocate was walk up the staircases!
As he watched the people from the first three federations walking up the staircases, he realized that these nine weaker federations did have something going for them. They were relatively united.
During their journey here, many people collapsed due to exhaustion and sickness despite being supplied with the Soldier Ration Radishes by Wen Yu. These weaker people and elderly were all being supported by younger or middle-aged people as they climbed up the stairs. Some of them would even carry the weak on their backs.
Lin Yuan could not be more pleased to see this!
Peace had also led the people of the Green Continent City to relocate.
Due to the emergence of the dead spirits crisis, Peace could no longer carry on with her Green Continent Goddess Plan. This was her only option.
She much preferred staying with Lin Yuan and his companions over suffering in the harsh environment of the Broiling Rock Continent. However, she was rather disappointed that her dream of building up Green Continent City was ruined.
The first person from the Astronomical Parliament whom Peace met in real life was Wen Yu. It only took a few words with Peace for Wen Yu to understand Peace's ambitions.
Ta Lei could only serve as the City Lord of Thick Soil City because his capabilities were limited.
Meanwhile, Peace's management of a large city was an underuse of her capabilities. Her horizons and dreams restricted her.
There was no way that someone like her could leave the main world with Lin Yuan.
Wen Yu believed that Peace had her own uniquely impressive capabilities. Otherwise, she would not have been able to perform her role as the Green Continent Goddess of Green Continent City as well as she did without being exposed by anyone. If Peace could apply her methods elsewhere and was properly guided, she would definitely be able to achieve great things.
But at that moment, Lin Yuan had long passed the stage of needing and searching for talents.
Although he still wanted to surround himself with talents, it was clear that he did not want to force the members of the Astronomical Parliament. Once Lin Yuan heard about Peace's ambitions, he would immediately provide her with a way to attain the future she wanted.
Wen Yu already knew of Lin Yuan's plan to give every member of the Astronomical Parliament the Lifespan Mouse.
As long as they had the Lifespan Mouse, their life would not be in any danger. The members of the Astronomical Parliament would be able to continue living even after the dead spirits crisis came to an end.
No matter how many preparations he made for the dead spirits crisis, the world would be razed to the ground by the time it ended. At that time, there would be a million things to do.
Peace would have the chance to build a federation and make her dreams come true then.
Wen Yu was the practical kind. Now that she knew where Peace's heart lay, Wen Yu no longer concerned herself with Peace. After all, there were endless things she needed to think about and do.
The fewer people she needed to worry about, the more brain space would be freed up to increase Wen Yu's productivity.
Wen Yu did not tell Lin Yuan about what she learned. If she told Lin Yuan about this, it would seem as though she had something against Peace.
With Lin Yuan's intelligence, he could sense Peace's thoughts once he met and interacted with her.
Lin Yuan did not stay here to oversee the migration of the nine federations. He had intentionally appeared as though he was a celestial being because he wanted to collect faith. It would still be Bei Xu who managed the novelbin.c.๐m for updates
The people from Green Continent City were in the center of the crowd of people from the nine federations. Since they were all going to be migrated, Lin Yuan did not give the people from Green Continent City special treatment.
If he gave them special treatment, it would cause them to be seen as the enemy by the other people from the nine federations. This would not be beneficial for the people from Green Continent City.
Wen Yu had already moved Peace to Sky Bearer City.
If time was not as tight as it was, Lin Yuan would have gone to meet with Peace when he first arrived in Sky Bearer City. Nonetheless, it was not too late to meet with her now.
Lin Yuan led Wen Yu and Chu Ci into Sky Bearer City and to the room where Peace was resting.
Peace had never left the Broiling Rock Continent and its dehydrated environment filled with fire-element energy.
When she left the Broiling Rock Continent, Peace thought that she had entered heaven.
However, what she saw as heaven was nothing more than a desolate area that could barely support life.
Peace had gotten a full blast of how terrible the world could be. This also solidified her will to bring happiness to Green Continent City!
Peace immediately walked up to Wen Yu and Lin Yuan happily when she saw them.
Peace could sense that Wen Yu was more friendly with her now. But this friendliness was not linked to any deep emotions.
On the other hand, Peace already saw Lin Yuan as her family.
Lin Yuan's explanation of her name had given her much relief and the strength to carry on.
"Leo, we are finally meeting! You are younger than I imagined. You also have great skin and are very handsome."
This was the first time that Lin Yuan was hearing someone compliment him in such a straightforward manner.
This caused him to feel rather shy.
Lin Yuan smiled before he said to Peace, "It must have been tough on you!"
Peace shook her head and hurriedly said, "Leo, the environment in the Broiling Rock Continent might be cruel, but I didn't find it difficult at all! My biggest dream was to protect the Green Continent City, provide it with water, and allow its people to never have to worry about water again."
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard what Peace said.
After a moment of silence, he said with a smile, "Once you arrive on the other side of the Barren Sea, you will realize that water isn't that precious of a resource. Aside from a few places, most places experience rain every few days. There are even some places where it rains all year! But you will be able to continue your dream of protecting Green Continent City even if you are in a different location!"
Wen Yu could not help but shake her head slightly when she heard what Peace said.
If Peace did not make her wishes fully clear and Lin Yuan did not promise to fulfill them, it would not be too late!
When they arrived on the other side of the Barren Sea and Peace's horizons were broadened, she would inevitably reassess her dreams.
But now, she had forced herself into a box. Even if she decided to change her dreams and direction in the future, she could not tell Lin Yuan about it.
Lin Yuan would never rely on or appreciate a person who altered their dreams.
At this moment, Peace had locked in her future.
Wen Yu felt that Peace would become the second person after Ta Lei, who would be eliminated.
Luckily, just like with Ta Lei, Lin Yuan would ensure that Peace's future in the main world would be a happy one.
After chatting with Peace, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu left Peace's room.
Once they were outside Peace's room, Lin Yuan could not help but sigh.
Wen Yu said solemnly, "Young Master, as the Astronomical Parliament's Stars continue to increase, there can be hundreds of members! Aside from Bei Xu, Su Yiren, and Wo Lun, Yin Lin, Bu Po, and Luo Lan haven't made any concrete plans."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Although he had told the members of the Astronomical Parliament about the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he had never asked about their thoughts.
Su Yiren, Luo Lan, and Bu Po all held important duties in their individual federations. Su Yiren had expressed her wishes to him, but Lin Yuan would not ask the other three how they felt. Instead, he would wait for them to take the initiative to tell him about their dreams and ambitions, just like Peace had done.
However, Lin Yuan was surprised to learn that Wen Yu was aware of Wo Lun's decision.
Wo Lun had the least presence amongst the Astronomical Parliament's members, but his contributions had been tremendous!
