Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2368

2368 Extreme Ocean Arrives!
Although Turning Wheel Realm Dictators did not possess the strongest combat power in a dimensional world, they did have the authority to access the core of the world.

Even if there were more Samsara Realm Dictators in the water world than there were in the marsh world, the number would not differ by much.

Thus, Lin Yuan formulated numerous guesses according to the information from Isa and the other three. It was highly possible that his guesses would allow him to access the highest level of the water world.

Mermaid Forbidden Sea and Grace Sacred Hall were the two largest factions and competitors in the water world. Almost every powerful lifeform in the water world was part of either faction.

The experts who did not join these two main factions would be bullied and ostracized by them, or they could join voluntarily. There were virtually no other paths they could take.

Thus, after thousands of years, the Apostles and Dictators of the water world who used to fight individually had no choice but to join one of these two factions.

When Grace Sacred Hall had two rulers, they had the upper hand over Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

But after the two rulers had a daughter and fell out before disappearing, Grace Sacred Hall became shaky.

From 1,500 years ago, Grace Sacred Hall started to slip and fall behind Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

Lin Yuan did not agree that the two rulers had retreated into seclusion.

It was highly possible that the Grace Queen, one of the two sacred source lifeforms fused to form the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, was the daughter born from the two rulers.

Although the two rulers were in seclusion, they would never continue to stay hidden, even when their daughter died.

Thus, it would not be right to say that they had retreated.

As such, Lin Yuan made the bold guess that the two rulers of Grace Sacred Hall had met their ends long ago, eventually leading to the death of their daughter.

After all, the four royal attendants were the ones who had spread the rumor about the two rulers going into seclusion.

The four royal attendants were Samsara Realm Dictators. They had served the original two rulers, but they only had slightly less power than them.

If the two rulers of Grace Sacred Hall were injured, the four royal attendants would definitely be capable of finishing the job by working together.

From the fact that they were made royal attendants, it was clear that they were highly trusted by the two rulers of Grace Sacred Hall.

If they decided to attack abruptly, it would be difficult to fend them off.

If Evil Source, Mountain Ridge Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Carnage Source joined forces to attack an injured Eternal Source and Vine Source, the two of them would still stand a chance of making it out.

But if Mist Source, who had always followed Eternal Source loyally, decided to attack Eternal Source, he might be successful even if Eternal Source were uninjured.
Lin Yuan did not tell Isa and the rest about his guess.

Frankly, Lin Yuan could faintly tell from the descriptions that Isa and the rest gave that they actually had the same thoughts as him but dared not voice them out.

Soon, Extreme Ocean, one of the four royal attendants, would be arriving.

Lin Yuan believed that he would be able to verify his guess through Extreme Ocean.

Isa and the rest did not know much about Mermaid Forbidden Sea. After all, they were not part of Mermaid Forbidden Sea. They would be attacked immediately if they even tried to get close to Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

However, they had said firmly that the strength of the mermaid bloodline determined the ranking within Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

There were currently five mermaid emperors in Mermaid Forbidden Sea who oversaw it.

The five mermaid emperors were very united and always banded together to address problems. This even applied when they had arguments amongst themselves.

Lin Yuan nodded to himself. This situation aligned with what he knew about the mermaid bloodline.

The lower-ranked mermaid bloodlines had to serve the higher-ranked mermaid bloodlines.

Due to their bloodlines, mermaids with elite bloodlines shared a very deep bond.

The internal conflict of mermaids involved their species and regardless of how hard they fought, it would only ever be within themselves.

But it was a completely different matter when it was an external conflict. The mermaids would immediately join forces.

This was the reason Mermaid Forbidden Sea had held down Grace Sacred Hall in recent years.

Lin Yuan felt that it would be easy for him to assimilate into Mermaid Emperor Clan with his mermaid emperor bloodline. He might even be given the position of the sixth mermaid emperor.

Lin Yuan intended to take a personal trip to Mermaid Forbidden Sea when he finished his business with Grace Sacred Hall. They would become the final piece of the puzzle in his bid to take control of the entire water world.

Suddenly, Isa said, “Lord Lin Yuan, please tell your subordinates to retract their auras. I can already faintly sense Lord Extreme Ocean’s aura!”

Isa was very nervous about betraying Extreme Ocean.

Although Lin Yuan and the rest had already retracted their auras, Isa could not help but mention it again.

Lin Yuan shook his head and replied, “Since you were under orders to pass through the Class 6 water world dimensional rift to investigate the other world, you will need to show that you have some captives. For now, we’ll act as your captives. This will allow you to put on a complete performance!”

Lin Yuan shot a look at Vine Source.

Five vines immediately sprouted from Vine Source’s body that wrapped around Eternal Source, Carnage Source, Evil Source, and Hornless Dragon Source.

Vine Source dared not wrap the vines around Lin Yuan. He was now Lin Yuan’s subordinate, and it would not do for a subordinate to capture his master!

Eternal Source, Evil Source, Vine Source, and the rest did their best to retract their auras. However, their clothes and tameless expressions had not changed.

But this was enough! Now, Isa and the other three Turning Wheel Realm Dictators were already fully loyal to Lin Yuan.

Firstly, Lin Yuan had given them actual benefits. Secondly, they did not have any other choice but to go along with him.

There was no way they would be well-received after they betrayed Extreme Ocean. The likely ending was that they would end up as his meal. This was how he always treated traitors.

The four of them fervently hoped that Lin Yuan would succeed.

If he succeeded, it would mean either Extreme Ocean’s demise or them joining Lin Yuan’s subordinates. In either case, Extreme Ocean would no longer pose a threat to them.

Soon, a man with light purple skin, gills on his face, and grayish-purple scales on his forehead appeared in Lin Yuan’s eye line.

As Lin Yuan looked at Extreme Ocean’s face, he felt he did not resemble humans much. Rather, they looked very similar to when powerful sea creatures activated their Immortal bodies.

However, Isa and the other three looked like humans despite also being Dictators from the water world.

This situation was likely due to Extreme Ocean activating his Dictator’s body in his rush to hurry.

Isa dared not move closer to Extreme Ocean, fearing that he would suddenly lash out at her.

From far away, Isa shouted, “Lord Extreme Ocean, these are the four lifeforms from another world we captured! All of them have tightly zipped lips. You will need to interrogate them!”
