Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2291
2291 Defeated?
But as Pregnant Poison continued to insult Evil Source, she started to tremble in fright.
If the Dictator who Evil Source chose ended up losing, the entire marsh world would change, and she would be at the forefront of that change.
Pregnant Poison had only ever wanted peace. Otherwise, she would not have hidden in the shadows of the Banquet of Everything.
If Evil Source had picked her to be the representative, she would have been overcome with fear and embarrassed herself.
It would be fine if Evil Source was the one who had suggested how the gamble proceeded.
Although Evil Source was the one who suggested the bet, Lin Yuan was the one who decided how the gamble proceeded.
Lin Yuan would definitely suggest something that was advantageous to him.
Evil Source could not afford to lose and give up on her treasures. But the same went for Lin Yuan.
Evil Source and Lin Yuan were already in a full-fledged confrontation that had dragged in Mountain Ridge Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Carnage Source. As such, all three of them were feeling the heat.
However, all three of them were much better at handling pressure than Pregnant Poison was.
Truthfully, the entire Marsh Abyss was centered around the seven figures, and there was no question that they were the Marsh Abyss’ core.
This seven-pronged system provided them with a substantial amount of profits. Any trouble that tipped the balance would be disadvantageous for them.
However, Lin Yuan had already agreed to the trade, and the three of them were extremely unwilling to let the trade slip away.
Thus, despite knowing that the fallout from this change would affect them, the three of them had no choice but to go along with what was happening.
Moreover, they were going to choose Lin Yuan when push came to shove.
At that moment, the three of them felt coerced by Lin Yuan.
Everything felt both nervous and excited.
This fight involved the top authority and power of the marsh world.
She was now Lin Yuan’s spear that had to cut down the obstacles in his way to clear the path. This was an unspeakable honor!
She had only entered the Turning Wheel Realm recently. When Lin Yuan’s power boosted her, she could even reach the Samsara Realm. Everything had never dared to dream of being boosted to such an extent.
Everything was well aware of how powerful Samsara Realm Dictators were. They possessed unlimited possibilities.
Yet, Everything did not believe that Evil Source would be able to boost a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator to Samsara Realm like Lin Yuan had done.
At the very least, she was certain that Mountain Ridge Source did not possess such power.
Although Evil Source possessed the Green Field Secret Treasure that represented untold authority in the marsh world while Lin Yuan possessed no such thing, Everything believed that her side would emerge victorious.
Thus, Everything maintained her composure as she advanced. She was even more confident than usual.
When the wind blew at her skirt, the bells adorning the ends of her long braids jingled.
The air was filled with a delightful melody as Everything activated her Dictator’s body. A long, satin-like tail emerged behind her, gracefully slicing through the air and leaving spatial ripples in its wake.
Around Everything’s wrists, five radiant silver satin strips materialized, resembling dancing ribbons of silver suspended in mid-air. The silver ribbons, adorned with tinkling silver bells, transformed into ten elegant tails, swaying in synchronized harmony.
Beneath Everything’s dress, a source totem illuminated her abdomen, emanating a powerful aura.
Although her power had dipped to the level of a pinnacle Apostle, Everything still possessed an all-encompassing formidability.
Lin Yuan already knew what ability Everything’s source totem had. It was called Acceptance.
She could use her body as a carrier and set a target to direct her source totem at. Both of them would then sustain the same amount of damage. She could redirect damage to the target and vice versa when she sustained damage.
When Everything was in battle, her source totem’s ability and regenerative power gave her great advantage over opponents of the same level.
The longer they fought, the bigger advantage she would enjoy. Even if she started off with the short end of the stick, she would eventually make a comeback as the battle progressed.
Her only downfall would be if her opponent had any special methods, such as venom.
Lin Yuan had considered this, but he had two Dictators in Everything and East Glow.
East Glow excelled in defense and was not suited for a one-on-one battle. Thus, Lin Yuan had no other choice.
Still, he believed that Evil Source would not pick a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator who could counter Everything.
He had picked his representative first. If Evil Source immediately tried to take him down, it would come across as her being afraid. After all, this bet was not about whose representative was stronger but about who could better boost their representative.
Evil Source possessed the Green Field Secret Treasure and was already inflated with arrogance.
There was no way that she would try too hard and come across as desperate in front of three Dictators who possessed the same amount of power she did.
Lin Yuan was right.
Even if Evil Source decided to give up on her pride and sent out a representative who could counter Everything, Lin Yuan would not be afraid.
Lin Yuan could only boost Everything to barely the level of Samsara Realm because her body could not handle any more. The issue was not with his lack of faith power. If he forcefully boosted her anymore, her body would explode, and she would die.
As such, there was no way that Evil Source would be able to do better than him when it came to boosting.
If Evil Source was truly able to boost a Dictator who had only just entered the Turning Wheel Realm to the Samsara Realm, she would have become the sole ruler of the marsh world long ago. There would be no need for her to share the authority with the other six Dictators with the word ‘source’ in their names.
Moreover, Everything had said that Evil Source was not the strongest of the seven Dictators with the word ‘source’ in their names. The strongest of them was Eternal Source, who had not appeared today.
As a spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan’s methods were foreign to the lifeforms from the marsh world. But he could use them nonetheless.
Hence, Lin Yuan was not just going to boost Everything’s power.
Evil Source saw the mixture of austerity and nervousness on her representative’s face. It was a far cry from Everything’s confident countenance.
It had not been long since Everything joined Lin Yuan. But Evil Source’s chosen representative had already been with her for more than 2,000 years, and it could be said that she had personally shaped her.
Given the circumstances, she would be defeated if they did end up competing.
That would not do!
