Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2397

2397 So What If He Was Indignant?
“We have been fighting for the treasure vault for thousands of years, but it no longer has anything to do with us. Can you really stand it?”

Extreme Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean all fell silent when they heard what Ancient Ocean said. Ancient Ocean had hit their sore spot.

Can I stand it? Of course not! Who could?

They all used to be at the top of the water world as they ruled a faction that was part of the highest level in the water world.

However, everything had dissolved because of Lin Yuan’s appearance.

They not only lost the treasure vault but also their freedom.

But what was the point in feeling indignant now?

Frozen Ocean reached out and patted Ancient Ocean’s shoulder. “Ancient Ocean, you are stupid for asking such a question now. We don’t have the right to feel indignant. Don’t say such things in the future. If someone hears of it and tells Lin Yuan, we will be in trouble!

“Rather than feeling upset, we should come up with a way to out-compete that group so we will become more important to Lin Yuan!”

Frozen Ocean had come to terms with many things. Thus, he was not as conflicted as Ancient Ocean.

Normally, there was no need for Frozen Ocean to warn Ancient Ocean. What Ancient Ocean thought and how he ended up would have nothing to do with Frozen Ocean.

However, Frozen Ocean did not want to lose another ally, while there were only four of them.

Moreover, if Ancient Ocean truly made a mistake, it was possible that Lin Yuan would place the blame on Extreme Ocean. If that happened, he would have no hope of distinguishing himself in front of Lin Yuan again.

Ancient Ocean let out a soft sigh but did not say anything else.

The silent Ink Ocean had completely different thoughts from Ancient Ocean and Frozen Ocean.

Ink Ocean did not feel that there was anything to be indignant about.

Winners claimed spoils while losers resigned themselves. This had been the way of the world since ancient times.

Previously, Lin Yuan was able to kill them easily but did not do so. Instead, he accepted their loyalty, so they were now his subordinates.

There was no way that being reduced to a rotting corpse floating in the sea while others freely used their source totems would be a better option than being alive.

Each of the four royal attendants used to possess a key each.

If only Ink Ocean’s power had broken through, they would have something to say. However, Frozen Ocean’s power had also broken through, and yet they still couldn’t obtain all four keys to open the treasure vault.

Once kings of this territory, the four of them were now managers under an even stronger faction. As Samsara Realm Dictators, they knew that Lin Yuan would surely utilize their abilities.

The current circumstances were advantageous for their power growth. Ink Ocean anticipated that Lin Yuan would help them further enhance their abilities in the future.

If Lin Yuan had the capability to come to their world, he could surely reach other worlds as well. The thought of leaving his own world to explore others excited Ink Ocean.

However, Ink Ocean kept these thoughts to himself. He didn’t understand why they had to stick together just because they came from the same world. Despite being colleagues for thousands of years, they had never gotten along well.

Although they were now loyal to the same master, Ancient Ocean knew that they would still try to undermine each other in the future.

Rather than feeling as despondent as Ancient Ocean, the cunning Extreme Ocean and short-sighted Frozen Ocean began discussing their future plans. They had no intention of collaborating with Lin Yuan’s other subordinates like Vine Source and Evil Source.

…

On the surface of the choppy sea, waves crashed intermittently onto an island covered in small plants. Nearly half of the island had been submerged as the waves relentlessly broke over it.

Hungry reef sharks would sometimes leap onto the island to feed on the small plants. However, not a single seabird could be found on this treeless island, which was constantly disturbed by waves and lacked the appeal to attract them.

Above the island, two figures soared through the sky—Carnage Source and Mountain Ridge Source. Initially, Mountain Ridge Source had been filled with anxiety and a lack of security. But now, those feelings had vanished completely.

Lin Yuan had willingly assigned them to the main world and instructed them to guard someone. This made Mountain Ridge Source feel significant and valued.

Carnage Source had realized how Mountain Ridge Source was feeling and could not help but say out of frustration, “Mountain Ridge Source, have you considered the possibility that the only reason we were sent on assignment instead of staying behind to guard the marsh world or accompany Lord Lin Yuan in his efforts to break into the water world is that our Samsara Realm power is the weakest of the lot?”

Carnage Source had known Lin Yuan longer than Mountain Ridge Source had, so he believed that he could tell what kind of person Lin Yuan was.

As long as they did not cause any trouble, against his orders, or caused significant damage, it was unlikely that Lin Yuan would lose his temper.

With regards to Lin Yuan seeing them as important, Lin Yuan now saw Eternal Source as the most important.

Lin Yuan intended to nurture Eternal Source into a leader.

Given the circumstances, they did not need to put so much pressure on themselves. All they needed to do was focus on Lin Yuan’s assignments.

Mountain Ridge Source’s current mentality caused Carnage Source to change his impression of her.

Carnage Source had always seen Mountain Ridge Source as mild-mannered. But it turned out that that was all a facade.

Mountain Ridge Source immediately felt awkward when she heard what Carnage Source said.
She was about to instinctively rebuke Carnage Source when she realized he seemed to be speaking the truth. There was nothing that she could pinpoint to rebuke. It was true that out of all the Dictators with the word ‘source’ in their names, they were in the lower tier of power.

The place Lin Yuan called the main world was also filled with experts with Samsara Realm power.

Thus, he sent Mountain Ridge and Carnage Source to the main world because he could not rely on the new Samsara Realm Dictators.

Carnage Source realized that he could have hurt Mountain Ridge Source’s feelings and added, “You are still stronger than me. I can’t beat you even with my Samsara Realm source totem. But I was still sent out on assignment with Hornless Dragon Source and Vine Source.

“Lord Lin Yuan did not treat us differently at all! If Lord Lin Yuan treats Eternal Source as the most important, we can follow Eternal Source from now on instead of opposing him in everything.

“I already told you I went to the water world with Lord Lin Yuan to conquer it. The water world will eventually enter his grasp. To bolster our network, we can interact with the water world Samsara Realm Dictators in advance.”
