Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2391

2391 All the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen Does is Eat!
High up in the sea, Lin Yuan looked down on Grace Sacred Hall as he communicated with the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen in his mind.

Neither Dictators nor Apostles retained the memory from their previous lives after they died and became sacred source lifeforms. They had no connection to their past lives.

Thus, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen was not curious about what had happened in its past life at all.

It only cared about the two rulers’ source totems.

Ever since the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen swallowed the Law Staff’s root power and increased its Stars, it learned about the benefits of quickly increasing its Stars and became very eager to continue increasing its Stars.

Lin Yuan immediately relaxed after learning what the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen was thinking.

If the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen still saw itself as the two rulers’ offspring and that the four attendants had murdered the two rulers, Lin Yuan would have to wipe out the four royal attendants for the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s sake.

This would cause Lin Yuan to lose four Samsara Realm Dictator subordinates, representing combat power equivalent to the spirit fire level.

Eternal Source looked at the calm Grace Sacred Hall and the towering statues in the distance being chiseled away as he fully appreciated the splendid expanse of this other world.

Eternal Source’s main body was the Feather Scale Winged Beast and could survive well in all three types of territories: water, land, and sky.
Eternal Source spent the most time in the lower parts of the marsh world and liked the underwater environment best. Eternal Source preferred the water world’s environment to the muddy marshes.

Because of his understanding of Vine Source, Eternal Source did not feel assured about Vine Source helping Extreme Ocean.

“Lord Lin Yuan, I need to stay with you to protect you. Why don’t you order Hornless Dragon Source and Evil Source to hold down the fort? Vine Source’s temper could end up ruining the plan!”

Eternal Source was not trying to undermine Vine Source.

Eternal Source was already the subordinate that Lin Yuan relied on the most. If he undermined a companion now, this might leave a bad taste in Lin Yuan’s mouth.

Lin Yuan was in the midst of conquering another world. This world also had powerful Samsara Realm Dictators.

Due to his bloodline, Lin Yuan definitely had high regard for the lives of mermaids. Thus, there was no guarantee that Eternal Source would be Lin Yuan’s favorite forever.

If Vine Source made a mistake that caused Lin Yuan to assign blame to the entire marsh world, that would be too unfair for Eternal Source!

Lin Yuan shook his head gently when he heard what Eternal Source said.

Vine Source acted wildly and with extreme violence.

When he first arrived at the Marsh West Circle and met the seven Samsara Realm Dictators with the word ‘source’ in their names, Vine Source had been the first to exhibit hostility. However, he was just acting as per his status and authority.

But now, Vine Source no longer possessed such authority and was nothing more than a subordinate who needed to listen to all of Lin Yuan’s orders.

If Vine Source could not even complete such a small task and even caused trouble, Lin Yuan would no longer have any use for him.

“I believe that Vine Source will be able to do a good job. Extreme Ocean is the one leading this task. I’m sure Vine Source will be able to do something as simple as listen to what Extreme Ocean tells him to do. It should be about time for Extreme Ocean to come back with a report!”

Lin Yuan had only just spoken when Extreme Ocean, in his Dictator’s body state, appeared in Eternal Source’s line of sight.

Eternal Source could sense strong confidence from Lin Yuan. It was as though Lin Yuan understood Vine Source better than he did.

But what Eternal Source did not know was that Lin Yuan intended to divide up and give away all of the source-type power he had on hand once he was done organizing the power in the marsh world. This was so he could help the top combatants in the marsh world breakthrough past the Samsara Realm.

If any one of them truly could not perform despite possessing power, there would be no point in nurturing them.

When Extreme Ocean arrived next to Lin Yuan, he immediately lowered himself to one knee. This was the same position he had used to assume in front of the two rulers.

“Lord Lin Yuan, things were completed swimmingly! I used the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves to invite the three other royal attendants to my palace. The three of them and the patrolling sea envoys have all fallen for my plan and are poisoned.

“I also beat the three royal attendants into a sorry state so the poison could better enter their bodies through the wounds. After I settled everything, Vine Source is now helping to watch over the situation.

“I don’t know if Vine source is unhappy with my arrangement or just has a domineering personality. He has continuously been whipping the patrolling sea envoys and three heavily injured royal attendants. But he has performed so well that those patrolling sea envoys and royal attendants must be terrified of you now!”

Eternal Source did not have a deep impression of Extreme Ocean, but he remembered that Extreme Ocean had been betrayed by his subordinates. His subordinates’ betrayal meant he lacked capabilities and a formidable aura. As such, Eternal Source never thought much of Extreme Ocean.

Extreme Ocean’s words allowed Eternal Source to understand what it meant to take credit while stabbing someone else.

Extreme Ocean first mentioned that the assignment had been successfully completed because he had used the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves.

Eternal Source did not know what the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves was, but it had to be very valuable for Extreme Ocean to bring it up.

Extreme Ocean was trying to express that he used such a valuable item in order to complete the task set by Lin Yuan, and so was hoping for some compensation from him.

Extreme Ocean said that the three royal attendants had been poisoned because of his scheme and that he had even injured the three royal attendants. All Vine Source did was manage the situation that had already been settled.

He was essentially claiming all of the credit and erasing all of Vine Source’s merits.

Furthermore, he even mentioned that Vine Source had been whipping the three royal attendants and patrolling sea envoys. This was his way of indicating that Vine Source was cruel and savage.

If Lin Yuan was the type to overthink, he might think that Vine Source was unhappy with his plan. If that really was what Lin Yuan was thinking, there was no way that Vine Source would be able to explain himself out of this.

Given Eternal Source’s understanding of Vine Source, the latter had already decided to side with Lin Yuan after he clearly understood the circumstances.

He understood that siding with Lin Yuan would bring him more benefits. As such, Vine Source would not have any adverse feelings about any tasks that Lin Yuan gave him.

Vine Source’s displeasure could only be directed toward Extreme Ocean.

Vine Source did indeed have violent inclinations and often vented his fury when angered.

The three royal attendants and patrolling sea envoys he was supposed to be watching naturally became his punching bags.

Eternal Source started to become fearful of the burly Extreme Ocean.

Eternal Source was not afraid of an open fistfight. What he was afraid of was secret tricks being played in the shadows.

He hoped that he would not have the chance to work with Extreme Ocean in the future. Even if they did have to work together, he would have to be the one taking charge. Otherwise, Extreme Ocean’s words might erase all of his recognition, or he might even end up taking the blame for mistakes he did not commit.

Lin Yuan knew that Extreme Ocean was trying to drive a wedge. His words might be exaggerated, but they would not be lies.
