Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2544

2544 The Insects’ Genetic Lock!
Chef Supreme and Iron Prison had obtained significant benefits from the Freedom Federation and arranged for three Island Whales to deliver their loot to the Radiance Federation.

Compared to the provision of aid to the Freedom Federation, the Moon Empress was more interested in the accumulation of resources.

She handed Tian Feng many resources so he could use them to develop Cultivated Garden.

She also personally cultivated the Soldier Ration Radishes that Chef Supreme had nurtured.

She could not guarantee that they would be able to attain victory against Tower Canon but wanted to use her effort to ensure that no citizen in the Radiance Federation had to go hungry during the battle against Tower Canon.

Cold Moon had already brought Chu Ci back to the Radiant Moon Palace.

It was clear that Chu Ci had matured after her past year of training.

When the Moon Empress saw that Chu Ci had returned to the Radiant Moon Palace and was focused on battling on Star Web, she thought Lin Yuan had done a good job protecting Chu Ci. The two siblings were only two years apart but lived lives on two ends of the spectrum.

Chu Ci was walking a path akin to disciples of large factions who already had everything prepared for them. Her growth was based on a strong foundation.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan was a pioneer and continuously fought for the sake of the main world’s safety and happiness.

The Moon Empress knew Chu Ci was the apple of Lin Yuan’s eye. She was his only sister and blood relative. Since the Moon Empress could not protect Lin Yuan or help him in his endeavor to protect the main world by taking on Tower Canon, she could do all she could to protect Chu Ci and help her to grow. This way, there would be nothing for Lin Yuan to worry about.

From her conversations with Chu Ci, the Moon Empress learned that Lin Yuan had not told Chu Ci about what he was doing. It was clear that he did not want her to worry.

As such, there was no need for the Moon Empress to tell Chu Ci anything either, as it would only cause Lin Yuan to worry.

After lunch, the Moon Empress called Chu Ci over.

“Little Ci, I hear from Cold Moon that you are now a pinnacle C-rank spirit qi professional and will be able to reach B-rank in six months. Why don’t you stay with me until then? I have fragrances concocted from some spiritual ingredients that will be able to speed up your rank promotion.”

Chu Ci nodded happily. She had witnessed Lin Yuan’s power during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. He became a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and led the Radiance Federation’s team to victory against the Freedom Federation envoy group and even killed a Freedom Envoy.

Although Liu Yifan was also a Radiance Envoy on the Radiance Federation’s team, there was no doubt that Lin Yuan was the true leader. The stark difference in their abilities became evident to Chu Ci.

Realizing the gap between them, Chu Ci knew protecting Lin Yuan with her current strength would be challenging. Therefore, she resolved to work harder than ever before.
Even Chu Ci herself was surprised by her dedication to improvement. When she heard that staying by the Moon Empress’ side would expedite her spirit qi professional rank promotion, she felt overjoyed.

Lin Yuan had been a B-rank spirit qi professional when he represented the Radiance Federation in the battle against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Once she became a B-rank spirit qi professional, she could also evolve her feys to Diamond X/Fantasy V. At that time, the gap between her and Lin Yuan would become smaller!

The only thoughts in Chu Ci’s mind were about how she could work harder. She had not realized just how shocking her talent was. Even the Moon Empress was shocked when she found out that she was only 17 years old but was already about to become a B-rank spirit qi professional.

Lin Yuan had just broken the Radiance Federation’s record for the youngest B-rank spirit qi professional. But Chu Ci would break his record less than a year later.

…

As Lin Yuan listened to Mexa’s descriptions during his journey, he gained a deep understanding of the alien insect world.

He learned that there was a special energy system known as the Genetic Lock. Insects were born either male or female, and their abilities were determined by their gender. Males were skilled at battling but unable to procreate, while females were not skilled at battling but could reproduce to create armies of insects.

As a result, female insects were naturally more valuable than male insects. They were always protected by large groups of male insects, who were constantly trying to find ways to pass on their genes.

The alien insects hatched from the female insects’ eggs contained Class 1 Genetic Locks.

When the female insects became Class 10 dimensional lifeforms, the alien insects with Class 1 Genetic Locks would also be evolved to Class 9. They were lackeys that the female insects could trust fully.

Those who procreated with male insects to produce offspring would contain Class 2 Genetic Locks. When the female insects reached Class 10, the Class 2 Genetic Locks would only be evolved to Class 8.

If a powerful male insect forced a female insect to procreate with it, the female insect’s offspring would possess Class 3 Genetic Locks. When the female insect reached Class 10, the Class 3 Genetic Locks would only be evolved to Class 7.

The female insects always immediately consumed the alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks once birthing them.

Due to the Genetic Locks, female insects possessed absolute power among the insect species.

Powerful male insects rarely offended weaker female insects. Rather, they would be afraid of them.

Lin Yuan did not see anything wrong with this when he first heard of the concept of the Genetic Locks.

After Mexa explained it to him, Lin Yuan learned that female insects would raise Class 1 Genetic Lock alien insects, then use them to eliminate the male insects that guarded them and create their own nests.

If they wanted to create offspring with Class 2 Genetic Locks, they would order the alien insects to capture male insects and select prospective partners from among them so that they could be as satisfied as possible with their male partners’ Genetic Locks.

All 14 of the insect empresses and hundreds of queens were female insects who had produced their own armies.

Now that Lin Yuan understood how the alien insects worked, he was amazed by their culture. It was no wonder that the insect empresses had such high control over their armies! It turned out that the armies were all their offspring.

A year ago, Lin Yuan might have decided to nurture an alien insect himself so that he could turn it into the strongest insect empress and control the entire alien insect species. But now, with the treasure formed from the two Endless Gems, he could control all the lifeforms in that dimensional world. There was no need to waste his time on that.

After learning about the alien insects, Lin Yuan realized that they had stronger derivation potential than the other four dimensional worlds.
