Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

A thought struck Lin Yuan, and he turned to ask Mexa, "Does this mean that the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators under you are all your own offspring that you produced?"

Mexa flushed when she heard Lin Yuan's question.

In all her years, this was the first time that Mexa was asked such a question.

Although female insects would procreate with countless male insects in their lifetime, they still had conservative mindsets.

Lin Yuan's question was out of the realm that Mexa could answer.

If she did not know that he did not understand the alien insects' culture, Mexa would wonder if he had asked such a question because he wanted to move on her.

She knew Lin Yuan did not have any other intentions for asking such a question. He was also now the true ruler of the alien insect world, and all 14 empresses had become his servants.

As a servant, she had no right to refuse to answer. Hence, Mexa nodded obediently and said gently, "You're right. Most of the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators under us are alien insects with Class 1 Genetic Locks that we created ourselves. But this does not apply to all of them.

"For all 14 empresses, 80% of our personal guards are Turning Wheel Realm Dictators that we personally birthed. The remainder is made up of wild male and female insects who choose to join and become dependent on us.

"Every empress uses an insect army to protect herself. The best way to protect ourselves is to surround ourselves with as many of our own offspring as possible."

Mexa not only answered Lin Yuan's question but also told him about the reason so that he could gain an even deeper understanding of the alien insects.

Lin Yuan nodded.

After Mexa described the culture of the alien insects, Lin Yuan realized that female insects almost never died once they became Dictators.

Based on Lin Yuan's understanding of the dimensional worlds, once they became Dictators, there was still the need to reach the Turning Wheel Realm, which involved overcoming a challenge.

When Dictators evolved to the Turning Wheel Realm, they would become extremely weak, and there was a high chance that they would befall danger and die. They could not even fully trust their direct descendants.

When Everything became a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator, she was even on guard against her close wards. This was what had saved her from Second Born's evil intentions.

If the marsh world's Dictators needed to brush with death in order to reach the Turning Wheel Realm, why was it so easy for Dictators from the alien insect world?

However, after hearing Mexa's response, all of Lin Yuan's doubts were dispelled.

The alien insects with Class 1 Genetic Locks were all produced from the female insects' bloodlines. The female insects' control over these insects was not related to their own power but rather to their bloodline and Genetic Locks.

This meant that even if the female insects became weak after entering the Turning Wheel Realm, they would not have to worry about being betrayed by these insects. This greatly increased the chances of survival for female insects in the Turning Wheel Realm.

However, this only ensured that the insect world had more top-tier combat power than other dimensional worlds. It did not guarantee that their top-tier combat power was stronger than that of other worlds.

Therefore, there must be a reason behind the emergence of the four pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators from the alien insect world.

While Lin Yuan was about to ask Mexa more questions, she went on to say, "In actuality, female insects do not fully use their own genes for procreation. Each time, before they produce their own alien insects, they will pick a male insect and consume their bloodline before combining that bloodline with their own. They will then use their own bloodline as the leader to trigger procreation.

"This is the alternative to the method of producing offspring with Class 2 Genetic Locks, which requires male insects and uses the male insects' bloodlines as the leader.

"Lord, you have many powerful lifeforms under you. If they are willing to exchange bloodlines with the insect species, our overall power will definitely increase! Lord, if you want to create a special branch of insects, you can choose a female insect and feed her your bloodline."

Mexa felt a terrifying aura from the abyss demon holding her. It felt like her body could be crushed at any moment. She thought she had offended Lin Yuan.

Mexa had said what she said because she sensed Lin Yuan's interest in the alien insects. She wanted to deepen his ties with the alien insects and gain more opportunities for them.

Just as Mexa thought that she was about to die for angering Lin Yuan, she heard Lin Yuan say softly to the six-winged lifeform on his shoulder, "Red Thorn, don't make things difficult for Mexa."

Lin Yuan was already aware of how possessive Red Thorn felt about him. It was likely that Red Thorn had misunderstood and thought that Mexa was eyeing his bloodline.

He was still not completely certain about his own bloodline. All he knew was that he was a human who had perfectly fused with the mermaid bloodline.

When he fused with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil and Abyss Red Lotus, his human bloodline would not be pushed out by the devil bloodline like what happened to other humans. He could combine with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's bloodline flawlessly and had absolute control over its bloodline.

However, Lin Yuan felt that Liu Jie was more deserving of the chance to use his bloodline to nurture a special branch of insects.

This would allow Liu Jie,, who could only contract the Insect Queen,, to use his bloodline to nurture feys.

Lin Yuan already thought highly of the alien insect bloodline and felt that it was full of potential. But now, his regard for the alien insect bloodline was even higher than before.

Red Thorn had instructed the Abyss Great Emperor to put pressure on Mexa.

Mexa panted and heard Lin Yuan say, "I understand your consideration of the alien insects. In the future, I will allow the alien insects to exchange bloodlines with lifeforms from other dimensional worlds through resources. However, the baseline is that both sides must be willing parties.

"The alien insects require blood energy. Your goal must be to change blood energy into vitality that can be absorbed. Vitality doesn't just exist in flesh. You have seen this from the vines I gave you. The energy contained in the vines will change into vitality easier than blood energy does. They also don't contain as many impurities. This is unlike the vitality obtained from blood energy, which still needs to be purified.

"As long as the alien insects are obediently loyal to me, I can enable the alien insects to obtain energy from these vines instead. The number of insects will likely increase even faster than it does now."

Mexa's eyes could not help but widen.
