Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2553

2553 Sky Beyond the Clouds!
Lin Yuan was just marveling over the alien insects’ genes’ strength and decided to aid their development as much as he could.

However, the demon insects whose bloodline had created the alien insects definitely had greater potential for development.

Lin Yuan rebuked the egg, “If I didn’t come, you would have really ended up dying in this egg! Once you’re unable to exert pressure over the alien insects’ Genetic Locks, you will be their greatest source of nourishment! At that time, the insect empresses who are showering you with affection now will fight over you like you’re a mouth-watering feast.”

Lin Yuan paused before continuing. “If you become loyal to me, I can give you the chance to develop the demon insects.”

The egg did not immediately respond to Lin Yuan.

It was clear it did not want to become loyal to Lin Yuan. But at the same time, it did not have a better choice available.

The egg was certain that if it did not become loyal to this lifeform, he would really destroy it and use its genes to nurture an alien insect.

Once an alien insect consumed it, its demon insect genes would be strong enough to activate the Demon Insect Lock Decoder. From this, it would be able to pry out the demon insects’ legacy.

Hence, the egg had no leverage at all.

Lin Yuan did not want to give this demon insect too much time to think and snarled, “Since you’re unwilling, I’ll go and find a newly born female insect now. Eternal Source, break its eggshell and wait here for me!”

Eternal Source knew Lin Yuan was just trying to scare this egg.

If the egg had not reacted after he picked it up, he could have followed Lin Yuan’s orders and broken the egg. At that time, the egg would lose all hope.

Lin Yuan’s words achieved their intended effect.

With an air of resignation, the egg said, “I can become loyal to you. But you must sign a contract tying your life to the demon insects so I can be certain you will treat me well. You also have to promise to find me resources that will help me to hatc—”

Before the demon insect could finish speaking, Lin Yuan cut it off with a cold voice. “I thought that the demon insects were intelligent. But it turns out that there are stupid ones, too.

“How dare you ask me to sign a contract tying my life to the demon insects? Since you landed in this world, your roots must have fused with this world and become a part of it. You have been living here for millions of years, so the bond between your roots and this world is thousands of times stronger than that of the insect empresses’.

“Didn’t you hide the two Endless Gems that control this world in the stone tablet because you wanted to prevent others from getting their hands on them and affecting you in any way? Once I combine the two Endless Gems into a treasure, you will have no choice but to obey me.

“I am only offering you the chance to become loyal to me now out of consideration for your pride. Don’t misunderstand this!”
Once Lin Yuan was done speaking, he could sense that this demon insect’s mood had obviously turned violent.

He raised an eyebrow. This unhatched demon insect was reacting very aggressively to his words. This should not be! It should have gained a wide range of experience and perspectives as a revived demon insect.

“What!? You can combine the two World Stones into a World Treasure? Just who are you!?”

World Stones? World Treasure?

These were likely the foreign lifeforms’ terms for the Endless Gems and treasure formed from the Endless Gems.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. Since you know of the World Treasure, you should know of its abilities. I’m giving you one last chance. Are you going to become loyal to me or not?”

The egg was fully at Lin Yuan’s mercy. It had no other choice.

“I, demon insect Keira, am willing to become loyal to you. I offer you my sincere worship!”

A gold and green soul fire emerged from the egg.

Lin Yuan could sense the pure spiritual energy within the gold and green soul fire.

He raised his hand and pressed the gold and green soul fire into his own soul, which enveloped it.

Lin Yuan could now decide if this demon insect by the name of Keira lived or died!

Lin Yuan’s lips curled upward, and he scooped the egg up with one hand.

“Your soul will be affected when you’re separated from your soul fire. Once I’ve taken control of the alien insect world, I will return your soul fire to you. What kind of energy do you need to hatch? Tell me so I can begin preparing them for you!”

Keira said without hesitation, “This world doesn’t have spirit qi. In order to hatch, I not only require vitality but spirit qi as well.”

Keira spoke woefully. In the world she originally came from, spirit qi was a very common type of energy.

After being wounded by a powerful enemy, Keira had coincidentally found this world where she would be able to revive herself. Alas, this world did not contain any spirit qi. Otherwise, Keira would have been able to return to her prime state thousands of years ago.

Lin Yuan relaxed when he heard that what Keira needed was spirit qi.

If she needed another type of foreign and special energy, he would have no way of obtaining it for her.

Lin Yuan took out a spirit qi crystal and crushed it beside Keira.

Once Keira sensed the spirit qi, her entire body started to hum with comfort.

It had been millennia since she last sensed spirit qi. She began gobbling it up greedily as though she was getting her first meal after being on the brink of starvation.

It did not take long before Keira realized one thing—the spirit qi she was trying to absorb was too pure.

Did such pure spirit qi really exist? Could Sky Beyond the Clouds have entered a period of rapid development in the past millions of years that she had been trying to hatch herself?

That should not be the case! Millions of years was nothing more than the blink of an eye to Sky Beyond the Clouds. They had not even been able to break through after billions of years. How could they have begun developing after only a few million years?

There could only be one reason to explain this pure spirit qi—this humanoid lifeform before her had an extraordinary background!

Moreover, this humanoid lifeform had a very casual attitude toward this crystal that contained such pure spirit qi. This meant he did not consider this crystal to be precious.

If she could continue absorbing such pure spirit qi in the future, it might not be such a bad thing to accept him as her master.

While Keira was deep in thought and thinking back on her life.
