Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 3013
Chapter 3013 Zhou Yu’s Choice!
….
The moment Zhou Yu’s soul and will returned to his body, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the darkness and the flickering flames in the tent, Zhou Yu subconsciously touched his forehead and sighed in his heart. What he had just experienced was indeed a dream!
In the dream, Zhou Yu had joined a strange organization that came from the stars and was filled with a high-end mystical aura.
The people of this organization had already given him a promise and fulfilled his wish.
The excitement and happiness in Zhou Yu’s heart turned into endless resentment at that moment.
Zhou Yu slammed his hand down on his bed heavily and groaned, “This damn Tail Bind Tribe, I—”
Before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, he saw a tall human figure standing in the shadows beside his bed.
Zhou Yu got up in a panic. His hand touched something on the bed that looked like a ring.
Zhou Yu suppressed the panic in his heart. He was just a small fry. There was no need for the other tribes to send people to assassinate him.
The humanoid figure did not move at all. It was like a statue.
Zhou Yu reached out to light the oil lamp by the bed and saw the human figure clearly.
This humanoid figure was a bald man with a cold face. His greenish-black skin was unnaturally pale. The bald and cold-faced man remained motionless as if he had been fixed in place.
Examining the ring in his palm, Zhou Yu marveled at its beauty. Adorned with intricate layers of blue-purple crystals and delicate filigree, accented by bright silver metal, the ring boasted a large, captivating gem nestled atop its design—a true marvel of craftsmanship.
Such a treasure was beyond anything Zhou Yu had ever encountered, surpassing even the most formidable artifacts known to the Tail Bind Tribe.
As he pondered the impossibility of this stunning creation materializing out of thin air, Zhou Yu’s mind raced. Could it be that what he had just experienced was not a mere dream?
Recollection flooded back: the figure seated upon the golden throne, crowned with the Leo constellation, had promised Zhou Yu a gift before departing from that magic place.
With a hesitant hand, Zhou Yu reached out to touch the ring, instinctively channeling his spiritual energy.
To his astonishment, a vast space revealed itself within the confines of the ring—a cavernous expanse capable of housing ten of his tribe’s largest tents.
Intrigued, Zhou Yu explored the space, finding only a solitary wooden box nestled in a corner, adorned with a simple card.
Harnessing his spiritual energy, Zhou Yu effortlessly retrieved the box, though he refrained from opening it immediately. Instead, he inspected the accompanying letter.
Confirmation of the existence of the Astronomical Parliament solidified Zhou Yu’s resolve. Yet, it was the contents of the letter that held the key to unlocking the mysteries before him.
Contained within were concise instructions: to imprint his spiritual mark upon the humanoid weapon awaiting outside—a simple act that would grant Zhou Yu complete control over this enigmatic creation.
And this humanoid weapon’s strength had actually reached pinnacle World Emperor/Divine Kingdom!
This humanoid weapon was an existence that Zhou Yu had never come into contact with before. The Tail Bind Tribe’s leader had just reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, but he was already able to act as he pleased in this area.
This humanoid weapon had the strength to easily kill the leader of the Tail Bind Tribe.
After reading the letter in his hand, Zhou Yu, this strong guy, could not help but cry.
Zhou Yu knew that his sister would not have to suffer humiliation and be sent to the Tail Bind Tribe. She would not be tortured by the animals of the Tail Bind Tribe. He already could protect her!
Not only could this weapon protect his sister, Zhou You, but it could also allow the Forbidden Feather Tribe to replace the Tail Bind Tribe as the ruler of this area. The other tribes would look up to the Forbidden Feather Tribe and submit to them.
Being looked up to and submitted to by other tribes would allow the Forbidden Feather Tribe to obtain more resources and quickly strengthen the tribe’s foundation.
This weapon could be said to allow Zhou Yu to see his future direction clearly!
Zhou Yu used his spiritual energy to leave a mark on the humanoid weapon beside his bed.
Zhou Yu realized that commanding this humanoid weapon was as easy as drinking water. It was as if this humanoid weapon was a part of his body!
After trying to command the humanoid weapon for a while, Zhou Yu opened the wooden box on the bed. The wooden box was filled with fingernail-sized white crystals and green pearls.
Lin Yuan had checked Zhou Yu’s life experience and knew what kind of resources he needed to increase his strength. These spirit qi crystals and wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were the most suitable for Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu could use these resources to increase his strength in an extremely short period of time.
Lin Yuan had thought that Zhou Yu might distribute these resources to the other members of the tribe.
Lin Yuan had never thought of interfering with all of this. It was all Zhou Yu’s own choice. However, if Zhou Yu died because of his choice one day, Lin Yuan would not be able to do anything.
In an environment like the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the most important thing was to use visible resources to increase one’s strength! If Zhou Yu did not even know this, he would definitely be eliminated!
The Forbidden Feather Tribe’s overall strength was limited. Lin Yuan could not possibly lead the entire Forbidden Feather Tribe to develop for Zhou Yu’s sake. When it came to nurturing the members of the Astronomical Parliament, Lin Yuan also considered the investment and output.
The best way for Zhou Yu to stand out was to leave the Forbidden Feather Tribe and join other tribes after improving his strength.
Just like how Fan Lou had joined the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves in the early days, he had first become a dependent species of another tribe. Then, he used the other tribes as a platform to pursue greater development.
This path represented a strategic choice for Zhou Yu, a route promising swift advancement. Failure to grasp its significance would confine him to the confines of the Forbidden Feather Tribe, leaving it vulnerable and undefended.
Moreover, using the humanoid weapon would invariably make him a thorn in the side of neighboring tribes.
It was essential to recognize that the Tail Bind Tribe’s dominance in the region stemmed not only from their leader’s World Emperor/Divine Kingdom power but also from their longstanding accumulation of power.
Even before the Tail Bind Tribe’s leader achieved such lofty status, neighboring tribes harbored deep-seated fear of them.
The sudden elevation of the Forbidden Feather Tribe from a position of subjugation by their predecessors posed a significant challenge for neighboring tribes to accept.
Consequently, it was highly probable that they would subject the Forbidden Feather Tribe to probing and provocation.
Lin Yuan was aware of that but chose not to apprise Zhou Yu. He opted to observe the choices made by Zhou Yu and the Forbidden Feather Tribe firsthand.
If the Forbidden Feather Tribe relied on this pinnacle World Emperor/Divine Kingdom humanoid weapon to lord over others, they would not be able to understand their deeper meaning. Then the Astronomical Parliament could only choose new members to join!
After coming to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan’s thoughts had changed drastically compared to when he was in the main world. The current Lin Yuan was more suitable to be a superior than when he was in the main world.
It was not that Lin Yuan did not have a benevolent heart, but he was currently using it on his own people.
Without the protection of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, Lin Yuan would have died countless times in the Sky Beyond the Clouds! In such an environment where one was at the mercy of others, showing pity thoughtlessly would only lead to one’s death!
Zhou Yu looked at the resources that he did not even dare to think about and fell into deep thought.
Although Zhou Yu was born in a small tribe, this did not mean that he did not have any knowledge. Zhou Yu could recognize the value of the Creator resources in this box.
Zhou Yu was in a dilemma.
Zhou Yu was not conflicted about who should use this box of resources.
He had joined the Astronomical Parliament, a mysterious organization. The resources rewarded by Leo would definitely increase his strength.
If he distributed the resources and his strength and potential did not increase, he would not be able to explain himself to Leo!
Zhou Yu had been the successor of the tribe chosen by his father since he was young, but his sister’s bloodline talent was higher than his.
With Creator resources at this level, it was enough to stimulate his bloodline potential again and enable him to undergo a complete transformation!
However, Leo had helped him so much. How was he going to repay Leo and the Astronomical Parliament?
Zhou Yu fell into deep thought.
Zhou Yu felt that it was not appropriate for him to directly bring this pinnacle World Emperor/Divine Kingdom humanoid weapon to his father.
Zhou Yu looked at the weapon for a moment and pondered before taking out a black robe to cover it. The hood of this robe was not big enough, barely covering the face of this weapon. Zhou Yu simply commanded this war weapon to be a passerby who would kindly help the Forbidden Feather Tribe resolve their troubles.
After thinking about it for so long, Zhou Yu who had already calmed down decided not to expose this pinnacle World Emperor/Divine Kingdom humanoid weapon after seeing how many resources Lin Yuan had prepared for him.
This could indeed allow the Forbidden Feather Tribe to obtain short-term benefits but would also inevitably put the Forbidden Feather Tribe at the center of the storm! As long as this weapon was secretly protecting the safety of the tribe, all would be fine!
After making his decision, Zhou Yu felt relaxed, but at the same time, an invisible sense of urgency arose in his heart.
Zhou Yu’s sense of urgency came from how to prove his worth to the Astronomical Parliament.
At this moment, Zhou Yu had completely realized that the Astronomical Parliament, a huge and mysterious organization, was his opportunity.
Zhou Yu wanted to seize this opportunity to change his originally bumpy and ordinary life!
…
Ruyi opened her eyes in a gorgeous bedroom.
The glazed roof above the sleeping chamber was like the starry sky that Ruyi had just seen.
Ruyi had a habit of not wanting to be in a dark environment. Therefore, even the environment in her sleeping chamber was bright.
Ruyi, whose consciousness and soul had returned to reality, reached out and groped around the bed. After finding something that should not have appeared on her bed, Ruyi did not immediately pick it up and examine it.
Instead, she sat up and asked the four maidservants standing nearby, “What time is it now?”
One of the maidservants hurried forward. “Miss, it’s only 4:15 a.m. now. There are still nearly three hours before you normally wake up. Do you want to rest for a while?”
Ruyi knew that these maidservants were arranged by her mother. They were there because her mother was afraid she would do the same foolish thing as before.
However, Ruyi had to send these maidservants away so that it would be convenient for her to investigate the things in her hands. She did not want anyone to know about the Astronomical Parliament, not even her parents.
Firstly, the Astronomical Parliament was too mysterious. If her parents found out, they would definitely want to test the Astronomical Parliament.
The Astronomical Parliament was the key to removing the curse in her body.
The Carp Mystic Palace had not been able to remove her curse for decades. It could be said that her parents had no other way.
Secondly, before she left, the woman sitting in the golden main seat reminded her not to reveal any information about the Astronomical Parliament.
Thirdly, it was still unknown if the Astronomical Parliament could help her remove the curse in her body. She had to try it out later!
Telling her parents would not only make them suspicious, but it might also make them happy for nothing.
“I’m a little hungry. The two of you go prepare food for me. The two of you stand guard outside the hall. I want to drink the freshly ground Precious Fruit Jade soup. Help me bring it in when it’s ready.”
These four maidservants did not feel that Ruyi’s request was anything special. Moreover, with two of them guarding outside the hall, they could deal with any special situation.
After the four of them exited her bed-chamber, Ruyi glanced at the string of flower bracelets resting on her bed.
The bracelet featured numerous bright red pomegranate flowers, each adorned with a glaze. Beneath these floral ornaments lay a collection of pomegranates. The glaze coating of both the flowers and fruits was intricately crafted through a complex and innovative process involving grinding the pomegranates and flowers into powder, followed by high-temperature burning.
With her discerning eye honed by years of collecting jewelry, Ruyi still found herself enamored with this particular bracelet.
Taking a moment to study the bracelet, Ruyi, with a solemn expression, used her spiritual energy to extract four brocade boxes nestled within.
She proceeded to examine the contents of each box diligently.
Soon, Ruyi finished experimenting with the items in the first three brocade boxes. The items in the three brocade boxes did not touch the curse in Ruyi’s body.
Once again, her heart clenched with anxiety. She chided herself for placing too much hope in Sky City, recalling the old adage about expectations breeding disappointment. If only she hadn’t set her hopes so high, her heart wouldn’t be in such turmoil now.
Forcing herself to regain composure, Ruyi hesitated before opening the fourth brocade box, holding her breath in anticipation.
Though plagued by the curse since birth, Ruyi couldn’t help but harbor a glimmer of hope, however slim the odds. Her yearning wasn’t solely for her parents’ sake but also for her own aspirations. She refused to be merely a delicate porcelain doll, longing to carve her own path in this vast world.
