Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

But now, the 13 insect empresses felt as though they had become the prey instead.

Lin Yuan dispatched all of his powerful combat forces to stop the insects from causing bloodshed across the Sand Island Continent.

He knew that the insects were an advanced society with a high propensity for submission. Toppling the leader to crumble the organization was a very effective method in the alien world.

The powerful alien insects who had entered through the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift would only have one place to head toward: back to the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift.

Lin Yuan sent Eternal Source, Carlos, and Caroline to the rift entrance. An Afterlife Realm Dictator and two pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators would be able to effectively block the insects from scouting out the situation.

Eternal Source was familiar with the process of toppling the leader to crumble the organization. He instructed Carlos and Caroline to stand guard by the entrance of the rift to ensure that none of the powerful insects could escape through it.

Next, Eternal Source released the full force of his Afterlife Realm aura and created a 500-kilometer radius around the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift before thoroughly checking on the situation within this boundary.

Even the underground palace constructed by the 13 empresses could not remain hidden.

Eternal Source was rather taken aback. The alien insect world had sent out 13 Samsara Realm Dictators to take over the main world! This clearly showed how strong the alien insect world was! They were much stronger than the marsh world that only had 11 Samsara Realm Dictators.

Once Eternal Source's aura locked up these 13 insect Samsara Realm Dictators, he used his aura to suppress them before slamming his heavy body down on the ground that lay above the underground palace.

The 13 insect empresses were all stupefied.

They had only just received the news that their armies had all been blocked. Now, their powers had all been locked by an aura that was stronger than their own!

This aura caused the insect empresses to lose the will to fight back. They had always been chasing this aura but had never been able to achieve it.

Once the 13 insect empresses recovered from their state of shock, they immediately started communicating through their gazes to devise a counter-strategy.

In an extremely abrupt manner, Eternal Source's body crashed through the palace wall and landed on the table in front of the 13 insect empresses.

"Good, you're all here. You've saved me some trouble. I can hand in my work to the Lord now! Are you going to come with me, or do I need to damage your roots until you fall unconscious before bringing you back myself? You can make the decision!"

Eternal Source's words were simple and easy to understand. He was giving them the final ultimatum without allowing them any time to prepare.

The insect empresses now had two choices. They could either pick the first option or be forced to pick the second option.

The insect empresses that were used to leading millions of dimensional lifeforms from glittering thrones had suddenly become captives. None of them could swallow this down!

It seemed as though they had two choices, but there was actually only one. Who would be willing to have their roots damaged until they fell unconscious before being captured?

From the way that the humanoid lifeform spoke, it seemed to be loyal to someone. Just how powerful could the one it was loyal to actually be?

Mexa was afraid that the impulsive and bad-tempered insect empresses like Gray Enchantment would make the wrong decision. If the other side had ill will against them, they could have killed them already. Since they hadn't, it meant they didn't come to kill them.

Why didn't they go with the humanoid lifeform who was clearly much stronger than them to meet with the Lord he mentioned? The insects had to remain a strong united force in order to gain leverage during their negotiations with the other side.

When she noticed that Gray Enchantment hadn't realized this and was showing signs of losing control of her aura, Mexa sighed to herself before hurriedly saying, "I am Mexa, one of the 14 insect empresses. I am willing to go with you to meet with your Lord! I am sure my sisters will make the same decision as me. We insects always prioritize the profits of our species first!"

When Gray Enchantment looked at her, Mexa winked at her intentionally. Gray Enchantment realized what Mexa was trying to do and immediately composed herself and followed Mexa in making the same decision.

With Mexa and Gray Enchantment as their examples, the other insect empresses soon made the same decision. They had all been silent when Eternal Source first arrived because they didn't want to be the first to show weakness.

Mexa had tossed away her reputation and did something for the good of all the insects.

Eternal Source saw Mexa's resolute decision and her hint to Gray Enchantment. He thought Mexa was very smart, while Gray Enchantment was an idiot. He planned to tell Lin Yuan about his assessment.

Eternal Source definitely preferred the smart Mexa to Gray Enchantment and the other insects. He was also more willing to serve Lin Yuan alongside Mexa in the future.

The 13 insect empresses had all stated their stances. Eternal Source reported everything to Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper and called Carlos and Caroline back.

Now that he had captured the peak power of the alien insect world, there was no longer any point in watching the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift.

Eternal Source was afraid that the 13 insect empresses would try something if they saw that he was alone. If that happened, he would have to attack all of them.

However, he knew Lin Yuan did not want to hurt the insect empresses.

With Carlos and Caroline around, the three of them could escort the insect empresses and dispel any nefarious thoughts they might have.

Eternal Source used his aura to crash into Carlos and Caroline, who were guarding the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift.

He could sense that Carlos and Caroline had been trying to act friendly toward him. By calling them over so they could escort the 13 insect empresses together, Eternal Source reciprocated their friendliness and gave them an opportunity.

Eternal Source could tell that Lin Yuan intended to nurture Carlos and Caroline. It was likely that they would soon become Afterlife Realm Dictators as well!

Eternal Source wanted to establish friendly ties with them just as much as they wanted to do so with him!
