Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2066
2066 Might of the Grants of Death
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up at what he saw.
He always had high hopes for Silver Corona, and it was now apparent that Silver Corona had not let him down.
Silver Corona’s Arrival of Grant of Death ability perfectly amplified Hermit’s Dead Servant.
When Lin Yuan first arrived at the Divine Wood Federation a month ago, he had lamented how long it took to produce a hermit dead servant in the sea of bone lotus flowers.
!!
But after Lin Yuan opened 16 dimensional rifts and evolved them to pinnacle Class 2, 36 hermit dead servants had been produced.
This was why visibility was so low in the sea of bone lotus flowers.
Each hermit dead servant seemed to add only a thin layer to the fog, but 26 layers were enough to lower visibility to the point that a person in the thick of it would not be able to see their outstretched fingers.
Even if the sea of bone lotus flowers did not attack spirit qi professionals, the fog of bone powder mist would prevent a spirit qi professional from seeing their surroundings, thus halting their free movement.
The hermit dead servants particularly attacked souls, and their strength depended on the strength of the dead souls they had consumed. They had managed to kill Class 4 dimensional lifeforms that were comparable to Platinum feys.
Silver Corona’s Arrival of Grant of Death ability would allow the hermit dead servants to be fused to form the grants of death. This would increase their strength of attacks on souls. It would then be much easier for Silver Corona to eliminate enemies that had no defense against such attacks.
Lin Yuan felt that Soul Parasite Rebirth was functional-type and stood out in its ability to increase the foundational level. It could allow a lifeform’s soul and vitality to be hosted within a main lotus. When the target’s soul and body were injured, the main lotus could be sacrificed to trigger rebirth. This would be akin to humans being revived.
The main lotuses in the sea of flowers were produced through the consumption of lifeforms’ flesh and souls.
Each time a dimensional rift opened, a main lotus could be produced. Thus, it was fine to use them up.
However, when Silver Corona consumed a portion of the lifeform’s body and soul to leave a mark, this would harm the target’s roots.
Both an injury to the body or soul would cut into a spirit qi professional’s potential.
However, Ji Feng’s Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus could heal souls while Lin Yuan’s Jasmine Lily could use Severed Limbs Growth to regrow body parts.
Lin Yuan and Ji Feng’s existence had resolved this issue.
But as he continued to learn more, Lin Yuan understood that a rebirth ability like this not only resulted in the reborn target being weak. It would also have memory and emotional loss.
Such an ability was a far cry from the Remembrance Soul Whale’s ability to piece together soul fragments in combination with the Ten Thousand Medicine Hot Spring and Jasmine Lily’s abilities to put together a body.
However, storing a lifeform’s soul and vitality within a main lotus was a safety net that had no disadvantages to have around even if it was never used.
Moreover, it took a greater toll on the body for Rememberling to use Soul Knot.
Lin Yuan could not instruct Rememberling to use Soul Knot frequently to collect all the souls of the people around Sky City who died.
Hence, there were still likely opportunities for Soul Parasite Rebirth to be used in the future.
Whether the white-clothed followers were out on assignment or fending off enemies, they were always mired in danger.
If their souls and vitality could be stored within the main lotuses, they would have a chance of coming back to life after they were killed. Losing their memories and emotions would still leave them better off than losing their lives.
Silver Corona had already noticed Lin Yuan nearing the underground palace and immediately rushed to him to hug his neck as it nudged his face affectionately.
Compared to Red Thorn’s displays of affection, Silver Corona was much more reserved.
Silver Corona was not much more intelligent than the average person, and Lin Yuan could effectively communicate with it.
Lin Yuan asked, “Silver Corona, are there any limits when you use Soul Parasite Rebirth to enable other lifeforms to be reborn?”
Silver Corona immediately replied, “Master, when the soul power and vitality of any lifeform is stored within a main lotus, the soul power and vitality will disappear from within the main lotus once the lifeform is reborn. The main lotus will not keep any record of the soul power and vitality.”
Lin Yuan nodded gently.
It seemed that Soul Parasite Rebirth could only be used once on each target.
However, even if the effects were only one-time, it was enough to prove the merit of the ability.
Lin Yuan said to Liu Jie, “Big Brother Liu, help Silver Corona to raise the class of the 16 dimensional rifts! Add another group of the same type of dimensional rifts as well.”
Liu Jie immediately summoned the Dimensional Light Moth.
Once the Dimensional Light Moth appeared, it flew around Silver Corona as an act of flattery before it started to bite away at the 16 dimensional rifts.
It did not take long for the 16 pinnacle Class 2 dimensional rifts to reach pinnacle Class 3.
The strongest dimensional lifeform that could emerge from a Class 3 dimensional rift was Class 5, which was comparable to pinnacle Diamond grade.
Even without Liu Jie positioning 10 of the Diamond V/Fantasy V Execution Blade Insects, Silver Corona’s sea of flowers was strong enough to kill Class 5 dimensional lifeforms and turn them into nutrients.
Once the Dimensional Light Moth was done evolving the 16 pinnacle Class 2 dimensional rifts to pinnacle Class 3, Liu Jie brought it far ahead to pick out the locations for another 16 pinnacle Class 3 dimensional rifts.
Liu Jie had already sent out the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths to scout out the surroundings. Thus, he already had locations in mind.
The difference in scale between a pinnacle Class 3 dimensional rift and a pinnacle Class 2 dimensional rift was even larger than that between a pinnacle Class 2 dimensional rift and a pinnacle Class 1 dimensional rift.
From the moment the dimensional rift opened, Class 5 dimensional lifeforms started pouring out.
Lin Yuan said, “Silver Corona, show me how strong the grants of death are!”
