Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2596

2596 Roots of Evil of the Freedom Federation’s Royalty!
Soon, relief and joy replaced their previous expressions.

They hadn’t harmed Chef Supreme or Iron Prison, nor had they killed any Radiance spirit qi professionals. Hence, there was no reason for the Radiance Federation to target them.

Even if the Radiance Federation chose to control them, they would still be treated better than being servants to the Mirror God and God of Fools.

Li Yang, the weakest member of royalty from the Freedom Federation and the one with the least feeling of safety, stepped forward. Once he was sure that the Mirror God and God of Fools were completely subdued, he bowed to Chef Supreme and Iron Prison.

He shared all the details about the Mirror God and God of Fools’ plans for the Radiance Federation and then said in a hushed tone, “If possible, I’m ready to cooperate with the Radiance Federation and work for them.”

Chef Supreme and Iron Prison exchanged glances, both realizing that Li Yang aimed to align himself with the winning side.

Li Yang’s actions unveiled the Mirror God and God of Fools’ sinister schemes, which they had devised long before Chef Supreme, Iron Prison, and the 5,000,000 Radiance spirit qi professionals arrived to offer assistance in the Freedom Federation.

Chef Supreme and Iron Prison couldn’t help but reflect on how, without Lin Yuan’s safeguarding, they might have witnessed the slaughter of those 5,000,000 Radiance spirit qi professionals at the hands of the Mirror God and God of Fools. They envisioned their own powerlessness in such a scenario.
Red Thorn hadn’t explicitly ordered the Abyss Great Emperor to reveal himself—his task was solely to confine the God of Fools using his spirit fire.

Eternal Source had reverted to his original form, and unless members of the Freedom Federation’s royalty were oblivious, they’d recognize his true identity. His marsh Dictator aura was unmistakable.

Even after uncovering the collusion between the Radiance Federation and the marsh world, the Freedom Federation’s royalty remained willing to ally with them. This stance strongly indicated their discontent with the Mirror God and God of Fools.

Li Yang was very smart and knew how to strive for survival in such a situation. Otherwise, he would not have declared his willingness to cooperate with the Radiance Federation!

Chef Supreme and Iron Prison lacked the authority to determine the fate of the Freedom Federation. The Moon Empress held that power.

Still, they doubted that the Moon Empress would collaborate with the Freedom Federation’s royalty.

Thinking of cooperation while facing imprisonment was overly optimistic.

Had the Freedom Federation been in control of the Radiance Federation, its royalty would have been treated poorly.

“Hehe, you can serve the Radiance Federation, but don’t expect cooperation!”

After addressing Li Yang, Chef Supreme declared loudly, “We’ve given you an example. Now, you must state your position. Your stance will shape how the Radiance Federation treats you.”

The Freedom Federation’s royalty swiftly expressed their stances after Chef Supreme’s words. Their sincerity exceeded Li Yang’s.

Li Yang grew pale upon hearing that.

It was clear that Chef Supreme and Iron Prison had said this because they were not the decision-makers. They would definitely relay the stances of the Freedom Federation’s royalty to whoever was the real decision-maker.

Although he had been the first to declare his allegiance, his sincerity had been lacking.

The Radiance Federation might execute him to set an example.

With this, Li Yang cast aside his status, saying, “I was unclear. I didn’t mean cooperation. I’ll follow the Radiance Federation’s orders and use my abilities for them!”

He inwardly cursed his fellow Freedom Federation royalty members as he spoke, Look at how all of you tried to outperform me! Now, it’s my turn to set you up! If you refuse to leave me a way out, we’ll all suffer together!

Li Yang’s expression had changed, but his words now caused all the other members of royalty—both those who had declared their stances and those who had yet to do so—to change as well.

Chef Supreme and Iron Prison noticed this. They looked at each other and contemplated.

The Freedom Federation faced a tough situation, not because of an attack from the marsh dimensional lifeforms but due to conflicts among its members of royalty.

Chef Supreme and Iron Prison had gathered information from the Moon Empress, learning about the Freedom Federation’s predicament.

Lin Yuan had seized control of the marsh world and confirmed details from the dimensional lifeforms.

Lin Yuan orchestrated a trap for the Freedom Federation. This resulted in powerful Samsara Realm Dictators discovering the Freedom Federation’s base in the marsh world.

Had the Mirror God and God of Fools promptly confronted the Samsara Realm Dictators upon learning the situation, they could have bought valuable time. This would have allowed the Freedom Federation to withdraw its marsh world resources, preventing their current vulnerability.

By stopping the Goddess of Mercy’s advancement, the Mirror God and God of Fools unintentionally caused her mutiny.

Once she merged with the mermaid bloodline, igniting her spirit fire would be feasible.

Despite the circumstances, the Freedom Federation’s royalty still pursued personal gains, astonishing Chef Supreme and Iron Prison.

They intended to inform the Moon Empress about this, knowing she wouldn’t accept them into the Radiance Federation once she learned everything.

This was similar to how the Moon Empress and the Spacetime Elder had decided not to allow the Goddess of Mercy to become a Class 5 Creation Master associated with the Radiance Federation.

Iron Prison could not handle whining and whinging.

“Okay, we have told you everything that we need to. Now, some people will come to watch you and transport you to the Radiance Federation!”

Iron Prison had just finished speaking when the Samsara Realm Dictators emerged from the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift.

Two Samsara Realm Dictators were assigned to watch one Freedom Federation member of royalty and ensure they did not have the chance to flee.

With this, Chef Supreme and Iron Prison knew their job was done. Now, everything would be up to the Moon Empress.

…

Time kept passing, and Lin Yuan successfully fused with the abyssal world’s tome.

He checked the time and realized he had slept for over nine days, which was as expected.

Upon waking, Lin Yuan didn’t immediately proceed to fuse with the subterranean world’s tome. Instead, he began to read the Thoughts Letter Paper.

Once he confirmed that everything was normal, he stored the Thoughts Letter Paper and headed to the Pure Land of Bliss.

The subterranean world’s two Endless Gems had come together to form a treasure. Lin Yuan’s plan was to establish a contract with it.

This treasure, known as the Earth Source Cube, was a cube with a brownish-yellow hue. Its faces spun continuously, generating mineral veins one after another.
