Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2398
2398 Electrical Arcs on the Vine!
Mountain Ridge Source felt inspired by what Carnage Source said.
Mountain Ridge Source always liked to associate with experts. Examples included powerful Samsara Realm Dictators like Hornless Dragon Source, Evil Source, Vine Source, and Eternal Source.
Mountain Ridge Source never bothered to include Carnage Source.
But when she realized that Carnage Source had such intelligence, Mountain Ridge Source was now inclined to associate with Carnage Source.
“Carnage Source, you already said that the two of us are the weakest. Since we are weak on our own, why don’t we band together? We can discuss issues with each other, connect with Samsara Realm Dictators from other worlds, and share resources.”
Carnage Source was very agreeable with Mountain Ridge Source’s suggestion.
Moreover, there are very few female Samsara Realm Dictators. There were only two in the entire marsh world.
Allying with Mountain Ridge Source allowed Carnage Source to see a glimmer of opportunity.
Rather than allying with Mountain Ridge Source, Carnage Source would prefer to make Mountain Ridge Source his wife.
After flying over the sea, they finally spotted sand in the distance. Carnage Source said softly, “We have almost reached our destination. Why is the main world that Lord Lin Yuan spoke of weaker than the dimensional worlds? None of the lifeforms we encountered along the way have even reached Dictator level.”
Mountain Ridge Source said suspiciously, “Aside from Dictators, we haven’t even seen many who have reached the Apostle level. However, there must be a reason for Lord Lin Yuan to call this the main world. As long as we remain by Lord Lin Yuan’s side, we’ll eventually be able to find out the answer!
“Lord Lin Yuan expressly told us to hide our auras, so we have to make sure to retract them properly. If we ruin Lord Lin Yuan’s plan, we will never be able to become part of Lord Lin Yuan’s inner circle. That would make this alliance pointless!”
At the same time that Mountain Ridge Source and Carnage Source retracted their auras and hid in the Spirit Mother Federation, Lin Yuan was watching the transformation of Green Vine’s vine after consuming the half-corpse.
If Lin Yuan’s guess was right, the half-corpse should belong to a skunk-type lifeform.
Green Vine was still a vine and could not take a form that was overly similar to a lifeform.
Not all animals were like snakes. Snakes had bodies that were similar to vines, but animals had four limbs and a tail. It would be impossible for vines to grow these two features.
Lin Yuan was certain that it was a skunk-type lifeform because after consuming the half-corpse, not only did orange fur grow out of the vine, but a special gland similar to that of a skunk’s spray gland also grew out of its anterior. There were also obvious skunk features on what represented the head of the vine.
After a head grew from Green Vine’s vine, many fine electrical arcs appeared on the tip of the head.
The electrical arcs were so fine that they were hard to see. However, the energy that radiated from them was even stronger than the fire spat out by the dark gold snake scales.
Eternal Source had only been fearful of Green Vine’s vine that was alight with dark gold flames. But he was terrified of these electrical arcs.
This led Lin Yuan to confirm that the half-corpse came from a higher-level world. It was also already dead by the time it arrived there.
If such a lifeform appeared in the water world, there would definitely be legends about it, and a group of Samsara Realm Dictators would not control the water world.
After Green Vine consumed that half-corpse, Lin Yuan gained another secret weapon.
There could not be faeries in the water world since there was no spirit qi.
Hence, this corpse from a higher-level world did not descend from a Heaven’s Trial.
This allowed Lin Yuan to know that the lifeforms from other worlds had many ways of making their way to the main world.
Thus, it was likely that the set of bones that had enabled Begin Lady to become a faerie did not come from the main world.
If the other ways had ways of accessing the main world, the main world would also be able to tap into other worlds.
After Lin Yuan kept Green Vine away, Source Sand was also done summarizing the resources in the treasure trove.
Lin Yuan stored the better resources inside a spatial item and noticed that it was at least 1/10 full.
The resources in Grace Sacred Hall’s treasure vault almost equaled all of the resources that Lin Yuan had collected thus far.
The experts in the marsh world were all self-serving, unlike the water world, where authority was in the hands of two major factions.
Hence, the resources from the marsh world had not been gathered together.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan did not intend to take all of the resources within the treasure vault.
After he found the other Endless Gem and took control of all the lifeforms in the water world, Lin Yuan intended to give the resources that were not beneficial to him to the four royal attendants so they could continue to develop themselves.
By the time he organized the two rulers’ treasure vault and obtained what he wanted, he had already spent some time in the water world.
At that moment, Lin Yuan planned to head to the area where the mermaid emperors resided in Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
Since they were rivals, the four royal attendants from Grace Sacred Hall understood Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s circumstances.
To Luna, Lin Yuan was an emperor-class mermaid who had been in seclusion for a long time. Lin Yuan could ask her about recent happenings in Mermaid Forbidden Sea but could not ask her about the secrets and common knowledge in Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
However, he could ask the four royal attendants whatever he wanted.
Eventually, he learned about the legend of the New Thearch’s Scale in the Deep Chasm Sea Eye from the four of them.
Ink Ocean was the oldest and the most knowledgeable of the four royal attendants, so he told Lin Yuan everything he knew without holding anything back.
“Lord Lin Yuan, the Deep Chasm Sea Eye legend is not a fabrication. I can confirm its authenticity. Before Ancient Ocean and Extreme Ocean joined Grace Sacred Hall as royal attendants, and during Extreme Ocean’s early acceptance by the two rulers, three emperor-class mermaids visited Grace Sacred Hall. They sought assistance from the two rulers.
“It seems that the activation of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye requires electrical power, coinciding with the electrical-related abilities possessed by the two rulers. The rulers had already been aware of the legend of the New Thearch’s Scale within the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.
“Consequently, they were reluctant to aid the three emperor-class mermaids in opening the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. If any of the three emperor-class mermaids were to break through to thearch-class, the two rulers would no longer be able to guarantee that Grace Sacred Hall could contend with Mermaid Forbidden Sea. Therefore, the rulers declined the request made by the three emperor-class experts.”
