"The three of us couldn't reach an agreement because we realized that the Earth's Sacred Fruit might boost our power. We began searching for objects with earth-elemental energy to feed the fruit, hoping it would bear fruit soon.
"Once its flowers bloomed, we discovered that its petals secreted nectar. Directly consumed from the flower, the nectar was bitter. However, when it flowed to the stem, it turned extremely sweet and could replenish our source-type power.
"We consumed the first batch of nectar and agreed to share the subsequent ones. After having it numerous times, we had to leave the Earth Ancestral Palace to find potential attendants. During this time, we realized we were addicted to the nectar. Without consuming it regularly, we suffered from splitting headaches.
"We did try to break the addiction, but our energy will leave our bodies every time we try to use our willpower to fight back. The willpower will rush toward our source totems. Recently, we've stopped nurturing the Earth's Sacred Fruit, but it hasn't stopped growing.
"With time, it gained intelligence and invaded our source totems, stopping the nectar secretion when it knew we were reliant on it. This double-pronged approach keeps us obedient to the Earth's Sacred Fruit."
Lin Yuan thought, My guess was right!
"So, you are going to sacrifice all of the subterranean world's Turning Wheel Realm Dictators because of the Earth's Sacred Fruit's order?"
Many of the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators who Lin Yuan had saved had no idea what was happening to them.
Initially, Mountain Furrow, Rock Underworld, and Hollow Earth planned to send in only five Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to explore the mysterious hole in the ground. This cautious approach would allow them to handle any potential issues.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, the situation took a grim turn when the first Turning Wheel Realm Dictator fell victim to the deadly Earth's Sacred Fruit. Eternal Source and Lin Yuan quickly intervened to address the alarming situation.
As a result, only a few Turning Wheel Realm Dictators became aware of the danger they were facing. The rest were still eagerly anticipating the celebration organized by Mountain Furrow, Rock Underworld, and Hollow Earth!
But now, the motives of the three pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators had been exposed to all the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators.
The Turning Wheel Realm Dictators now knew Lin Yuan was their savior. If he had not appeared, they would have been no different from sitting ducks as they were slowly sent off by Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow into the hole in the ground to be consumed by the Earth's Sacred Fruit.
Rage erupted within these Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, but they had no intention of seeking revenge. Even if they banded together, they would be no match for the three of them.
It was extremely commonplace for the elites of the subterranean world to control whether those who were inferior lived or died.
Lin Yuan could have saved the pride of the three of them.
But he had said what he said because he wanted to scrub out Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow's influence over the subterranean world's Turning Wheel Realm Dictators. Furthermore, he wanted the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to feel a sense of belonging to him after he saved them.
Morbius was in the midst of combining the abyssal worlds' Endless Gems and had yet to produce the abyssal world's treasure. A substantial amount of time was still needed before he could combine the subterranean world's Endless Gems and absorb the subterranean world's treasure.
If he had the support of the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators before he took control of the subterranean world, at the very least, there would not be any serious trouble in the subterranean that would worry Lin Yuan.
Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow did not want to respond to Lin Yuan's question, but they were in no position to choose!
They believed that with Lin Yuan's power, Samsara Realm subordinates like them did not have much value. It was just like how the three of them did not hold their attendants in any high regard.
"Lord, you're right. We were thinking exactly as you said. I hope you'll help us to break free from the Earth's Sacred Fruit's control! If you help us break free, we're willing to serve you for the rest of our lives!"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The three of them were being controlled in an uncannily similar way to Zong Ze when he had been cursed.
However, the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds would not work on the three of them.
The Earth's Sacred Fruit's nectar was an external material. The three of them could not absorb a part of the nectar. Otherwise, the Earth's Sacred Fruit would not have been able to take control of the three of them through this part.
Thus, the three of them had to expel this material from their bodies in order to break free of the Earth's Sacred Fruit's control.
The best way to clear a body of its impurities was to consume the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia.
Once the three of them used the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia to clear their bodies of impurities and then consumed the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds, they would be fine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, this was not the best time for Lin Yuan to help the three of them.
He had basically torn the Earth Ancestral Palace apart. The only part that had yet to be cleaned out was a small part of the foundation.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yuan seriously asked the three of them, "To express your sincerity, give me the subterranean world's two Endless Gems and books!"
The three of them hurriedly nodded.
The Earth's Sacred Fruit only needed earth-elemental energy, and it urged the three of them to search for that. It did not care about other items that were representative of power and authority and allowed the three of them to keep possession of the Endless Gems and books.
The three of them hurriedly gave Lin Yuan what he wanted.
Mountain Furrow and Rock Underworld held two books and one Endless Gem each. Hollow Earth had no Endless Gems, but he had four books.
Given there were only two of the Endless Gems, Lin Yuan could sense that they were trying their best to achieve equality.
The six attendants did not have a single book among them.
There happened to be eight of the subterranean world's books, all of which were now in Lin Yuan's possession. He also had the two Endless Gems.
What Lin Yuan needed to do next was to take control of the three treasures below the Earth Ancestral Palace. Once he did, he would be able to leave the subterranean world and head to the last dimensional world, which was the alien insect world!
