Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2261

2261 Beginning of the Divine Kingdom’s Transformation!
Lin Yuan was done absorbing the faith power as well as providing East Glow with source-type power.

Now, East Glow was one of his subordinates, and he did not wait before giving East Glow an order, “I want you to carry out a task while I’m attending the Banquet of Everything.”

East Glow’s expression turned serious.
Issuing it a task immediately after it became his follower meant that Lin Yuan wanted to test its capabilities.

It needed to do its best to complete this task from Lin Yuan and become Lin Yuan’s close subordinate.

!!
East Glow had immediately assessed and knew what White Speak was capable of.

The White Evil Marsh Crocodile was a rare type of Marsh Crocodile, but it was not considered impressive when all the mutated types of the marsh world were considered.

East Glow’s true form was the Wilted Bone Marrow Wood. It was mutated from the carnivorous plant, the Wilted Bone Tough Wood, and comparable to the Rosemary Jade Martens from the Palace of Everything.

White Speak could not compete with it either in terms of power or talent.

Yet, White Speak had managed to become a close subordinate of a powerful Dictator who had at least reached the Turning Wheel Realm.

This Dictator had even been willing to make physical contact by riding on White Speak’s back. This meant that this Dictator was not averse to emotional ties.

East Glow liked people who saw emotional ties as important. Its efforts would never be in vain when it was loyal to and carried out tasks for such people.

“Lord Ten Thousand Source, feel free to give me any instructions! There is little that I can’t accomplish in the Marsh East Circle.”

East Glow had intentionally touted its own capabilities but not overly conspicuously.

This was because, as capable as it was within the Marsh East Circle, it was nothing more than an ant in front of a Dictator.

Moreover, doing so would likely tick off White Speak.

White Speak was Lin Yuan’s close subordinate, and East Glow needed to do its best to curry favor with White Speak as soon as possible.

Even after a prolonged period as the Marsh East Palace’s overseer, East Glow had not forgotten about social ties.

East Glow’s words pleased Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was in urgent need of both marsh soil and uncontracted sacred source lifeforms.

Lin Yuan nodded at East Glow and gave it a task that it would never dream of ever receiving. “Go and collect as much marsh soil and as many source totems as you can. After the Banquet of Everything ends, I will repay you with small source fruits and big source fruits.”

Lin Yuan waved at East Glow, indicating that it could leave now.

When East Glow left, it could not help but ponder over the meaning of the task that it has been given.

However, it could not puzzle out an answer.

Marsh soil was the most basic currency in the marsh world. Dimensional lifeforms like the Medusa Snake Demons often traded with marsh soil. They were also traded among low-class Apostles.

But high-class Apostles preferred to trade source totems.

It was understandable for a Dictator whose power had at least reached the Turning Wheel Realm to want source totems. But why did he want lowly marsh soil?

East Glow cursed to itself about how it could not understand how Dictators were thinking while it came up with what it felt was the most likely possibility.

It had to be that Lin Yuan wanted to make good use of it in the future and was using this task to give it an opportunity to trade low-grade marsh soil for high-grade resources. It was both a test of its abilities and an opportunity to reward it.

This was the only conceivable possibility.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction that East Glow had left in and wondered if his task had been too direct.

It was not his style to give such a direct order, but there was no question that it would be better for someone like East Glow, who resided in Marsh East Palace and had the position and status to back it up to collect source totems, as opposed to him ostentatiously trading the big source fruits and small source fruits left, right, and center at the Banquet of Everything.

East Glow would do its best to gather as much marsh soil and as many source totems as possible to earn the small and big source fruits. Since this task concerned the benefits it would receive, Lin Yuan did not have to worry about keeping a close watch over it.

With East Glow doing its best to collect the marsh soil and source totems, Lin Yuan could fully let go of the reins during the Banquet of Everything and did not have to worry about buying marsh soil and source totems.

Lin Yuan could use the small source fruits and big source fruits to trade for truly high-grade resources. This would not only benefit Lin Yuan’s plan but would also allow him to rub elbows with powerful Dictators.

Rather than fighting on his own in the marsh world, establishing good ties with some Dictators could allow him to gain their help when he needed them.

Lin Yuan’s network of information in the marsh world was far too short.

The Dictators who had been growing for a long time in the marsh world would allow Lin Yuan to gain more information and connections.

With the big and small fruits in his hands, he could be certain that there was nothing he could not trade for.

While Lin Yuan was hesitating about whether he should go out for a walk and browse, a strange feeling appeared in Lin Yuan’s head.

It was as though someone was praying by his ear.

Lin Yuan circulated his soul power and listened in, only to hear Truth praying within his soul, “My most beloved, noble, and all-knowing god! Your lowly servant Truth has already improved your divine kingdom’s comfort level from Wasteland to Barren. May I ask if I should activate the blood you left behind to begin the life derivation of the divine kingdom?”

Lin Yuan was both excited and curious about the changes to the divine kingdom.

Lin Yuan had never interacted with the divine kingdom.

There was no question that the divine kingdom was a power that could only be unlocked after an extremely high-level breakthrough.

Lin Yuan was lucky to have it.

In his past life, Lin Yuan had been interested in biology.

Now that his divine kingdom’s environment level had been raised from Wasteland to Barren, he would be able to witness the true beginning of life once he used his blood to begin the derivation of life in the divine kingdom.

After triggering life, it would spread, change, and move in different directions.

The thought filled Lin Yuan with a mystical feeling.

He did not choose to give an order to Truth through his soul power. Instead, he willed himself onto the altar in the divine kingdom and gazed across the divine kingdom, whose environment level had been changed from Wasteland to Barren.
