Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

The thought of this filled Liu Jie with excitement.

This meant that Liu Jie would use his power to protect the Radiance Federation he loved. Furthermore, he wanted to show Lin Yuan how much he had grown!

For dinner, Liu Jie made grilled seafood, red braised meat, ribs, and passionfruit-roasted beef.

Since he and Lin Yuan were the only ones in the Return from Faraway Mansion and Lin Yuan did not have as large of an appetite as Wen Yu did, Liu Jie did not make too much food.

Lin Yuan was never the type to waste food. It was actually the opposite, as Lin Yuan was very frugal regarding food despite possessing numerous resources that would allow him to create batch after batch of experts.

Since Lin Yuan liked eating meat and all of the dishes were meat dishes, Liu Jie used fresh jujubes to make a jujube punch to serve as a drink and dessert.

Lin Yuan had been very busy. Aside from when he was sleeping, Lin Yuan rarely had the chance to have a proper meal.

Lin Yuan usually filled his nutritional needs with the Soldier Ration Radish leaves so that he would not have to use up his time eating.

Now that he was getting to eat Liu Jie's food again after such a long time had passed, Lin Yuan was filled with contentment and bliss.

Little Flower and Little Grass were studying in the Spirit Qi Occupation School in the Royal Capital.

There happened to be a summer camp now, and Lin Yuan had registered for both Little Flower and Little Grass to attend.

Qin Lun had been sent to Qin Yu's side two months ago, so he no longer lived in the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Luckily, there were still 20 Hundred Questions Beasts that Lin Yuan had yet to evolve in the Return from Faraway Mansion to manage the place.

The Return from Faraway Mansion was running smoothly, and Master Hong Shen was living right next to the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran had already started participating in the qualifying rounds as the Dome Guild Club reserve team. They needed to pass the qualifying rounds before they were given the ticket to participate in the S Tournament's elimination rounds.

It would be easy for the four of them to earn the ticket to participate in the S Tournament.

All of them were disciples whom Master Hong Shen had taught personally. Not even the main members of top factions were always lucky enough to have a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master as their master!

Lu Pinru and Wen Yu had created a fashion brand called Pinru's Home. The brand was considered a luxury one and used luxury resources like elemental pearls, jade-textured wood, and various types of gems to adorn the clothes that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce then sold. Sometimes, the top custom-made clothes were also auctioned off on Star Web. As a result, Lu Pinru was swimming in money.

Lu Pinru was the only one of the four who had joined Sky City.

After dinner, Liu Jie put the dishes away and sat beside Lin Yuan. He looked at him with a slightly worried gaze and asked, "Lin Yuan, is there really no way to reverse Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan?"

Lin Yuan did not reply to Liu Jie immediately. Instead, he handed Liu Jie a hot cup of Three Treasures Tea and said, "Big Brother Liu, if there was a way to reverse this, I wouldn't be sitting here now!"

Two years had passed since Lin Yuan became a spirit qi professional.

He had been reborn into this world and would be turning 19 years old soon.

Even if he had turned 19 years old two years ago, it would be impossible for him to stop Tower Canon's plan.

There was no way to reverse death aura in the ground that had seeped into ley lines as they would have immediately corroded them.

Even if Lin Yuan found out about this 19 years ago, all he would be able to do was do his best to set up defenses for the main world so that he would be able to prepare for Tower Canon's plan in advance.

Liu Jie's lips curled upwards when he heard what Lin Yuan said.

Liu Jie could imagine what the apocalypse that involved all the lifeforms that had ever lived in the world turning into dead spirits would look like. Such an apocalypse would last for thousands of years and might not end even after more than ten generations had come and passed.

The sixth epoch would begin with the apocalypse, and it would last long into the progression of the epoch.

Liu Jie did not want to see such a day arrive, but there was nothing he would be able to do about a situation that even rendered Lin Yuan helpless.

When he saw the expression on Liu Jie's face, Lin Yuan handed him a jujube.

"Big Brother Liu, we have the ability to make change happen if we put in the effort. The only thing we can do is to face this crisis bravely. Luckily, we won't be going into this crisis completely vulnerable but with advance preparations made."

Morbius regained some of its memories after it evolved to Myth Breed. This allowed Lin Yuan to understand what a Class 1 world was and how a Class 1 world could be promoted to a Class 2 world.

The key point to promoting a Class 1 world to Class 2 is to combine that world with all the dimensional worlds that it was linked to.

Once a Class 1 world was combined with all the dimensional worlds it was linked to, its class would be promoted.

The key to combining the main world and the dimensional worlds was the treasures of the five dimensional worlds that Lin Yuan possessed.

If Lin Yuan wanted to, he could help the main world promote to a Class 2 world.

Since that was the case, Lin Yuan wondered if he could combine the main world with the five dimensional worlds after the Sleeper's Revival plan began.

The dimensional worlds were separate from the main world's ley lines. Thus, their ley lines would not be affected by the death aura after they combined with the main world.

Moreover, the dimensional lifeforms would also be able to effectively take on the dead spirits. Otherwise, given the number of humans and feys in the main world, there were far too few of them to be able to confidently take on the dead spirits.

This was why the Moon Empress was filled with despair and negativity when she learned about the Sleeper's Revival plan.

Liu Jie nodded seriously. Since he could not prevent the disaster from happening, he could only do what Lin Yuan was doing, which was to try his best!

When Liu Jie went to the Midnight Palace, Lin Yuan left to observe the Land Imps' work so he could assess the current situation and estimate how long it would take before the Radiance Federation's defenses were completed.

Wen Yu was not the only one of Lin Yuan's subordinates skilled at governance. Bai Qinghuan was also talented in this area.

However, their specific skill sets were different, as Wen Yu was skilled at resource allocation while Bai Qinghuan excelled at setting up attack and defense mechanisms.

Thus, Lin Yuan decided to bring Bai Qinghuan back from the Great Lush Federation. Weng Queji, the Class 5 Creation Master, came with her.

Bai Qinghuan had been assisting Jin Qianxun in the Great Lush Federation and managing the harbor's construction.

Bai Qinghuan had given a fair amount of input for constructing the harbor. She insisted that it had to be large enough to host six Island Whales.

When Lin Yuan found out about this, he praised Bai Qinghuan but did not call for her and assign her to different tasks. This had left her feeling rather disappointed.

Bai Qinghuan had noticed some time ago that Lin Yuan did not care much for the Great Lush Federation. He was only concerned with the Great Lush Federation because of the harbor. Aside from providing resources, he basically allowed the Great Lush Federation to do whatever it wanted.

No matter how much she achieved in the Great Lush Federation, Lin Yuan would not notice it.

Bai Qinghuan had the Thoughts Letter Paper and could contact Lin Yuan. But she could never find a reason to do so. She could not contact him just to ask him to pay attention to her!

Just as she was reaching her wits' end, an opportunity appeared in front of her.

As an official member of Sky City who had sworn her loyalty to Lin Yuan, she had learned about Tower Canon's plan. Hence, she knew just how important this task that Lin Yuan had given her was! It just so happened that this was a task that she excelled at.

Bai Qinghuan did not make any promises to Lin Yuan. She intended to prove her value to him with the completion of the defense setup.

When she found out that Lin Yuan wanted an estimate of how much longer it would be before the metal-type stone planks were finished being laid down, Bai Qinghuan told Lin Yuan about her calculations.

"Young Master, based on the calculations I made according to the real-time circumstances, it will take around 35 days before all of the metal-type stone planks are done being laid down in the Radiance Federation, even with the 45,000,000 Land Imps involved in the project.

"This is because there are hard rocks in many places in the Radiance Federation that the Land Imps need to clear away before they can lay down the metal-type stone planks.

"Additionally, the metal-type stone planks need to be created, and it takes time to both create them as well as transport the materials. Aside from laying down the metal-type stone planks, building a metal wall around the entire Radiance Federation will only take ten days.

"The wall will be built outward, and there will be nine walls in total. The metal-type stone planks can also be laid down below the walls to prevent the dead spirits from invading externally!"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Bai Qinghuan's estimated time was shorter than what Lin Yuan had in mind, so this was good news to him.

Lin Yuan really liked someone like Bai Qinghuan, who could provide detailed answers to every question as well as anticipate what the person's next question would be.

When Bai Qinghuan was done answering Lin Yuan's question, she bit her lip and asked Lin Yuan seriously, "Young Master, we have built defenses underground, but I think that we need to cover more areas. We should also set up effective defenses for the sky!

"All of the dead spirits will indeed be rising from the ground, but some of them who are able to fly will be able to cross the seas and oceans to attack the Radiance Federation when we least expect it!"

Bai Qinghuan's question was one that Lin Yuan had been ruminating over but had yet to come up with a good solution for.

They could separate the ground by using metal-type stone planks, but there was no way to build defenses for the sky!

Furthermore, the Radiance Federation was so expansive that Lin Yuan did not have enough experts under him to cover the entire area!

But once he found out how he could promote a Class 1 world to Class 2, Lin Yuan saw a way out.

Lin Yuan could use the Radiance Federation as the center as he began combining the five dimensional worlds with the main world. This would ensure no dead spirits rose in the vicinity of the Radiance Federation.

If these dead spirits wanted to reach the Radiance Federation, they must first cross the five dimensional worlds. This would greatly diminish their numbers.

The dimensional lifeforms would kill the dead spirits that could fly.

Dimensional lifeforms were very proficient at reproduction. For example, the alien insect species would even use each other as food.

The dead spirits might consume the dimensional lifeforms for sustenance as well!

This would give Lin Yuan the time to continue building the base even after the Sleeper's Revival plan began.

The dead spirits below the Radiance Federation would be killed first, and the other federations could choose to rebuild themselves within the five dimensional worlds so they could team up with the Radiance Federation to take on the dead spirits.

This would address the issue of the lack of land as well.

This was the only plan that Lin Yuan could come up with that would solve the issue.

"I have a way to solve the issue of the attacking dead spirits. Hurry up and lay down the metal-type stone planks in the Radiance Federation!"

Bai Qinghuan was rather shocked. She did not know what Lin Yuan's plan was. But she did not care what his plan was. All that she cared about was that she would be able to show her worth to Lin Yuan.

Bai Qinghuan was unempathetic by nature and did not care what happened to the main world.

She was only staying with Lin Yuan so she could earn his praise and become more important to him so he would treat her better!

"Young Master, I will make sure to do a good job!"

Many of the Spirit Craftsmen had negative opinions about the plan to lay down metal-type stone planks. They felt that it would affect the harvesting of underground resources.

The Spirit Craftsmen had reached Class 4 and 5 but were very short-sighted.

Land Imps that were Class 10 and below would have trouble breaking through the metal-type stone planks, but those above Class 10 would be able to easily break the metal-type stone planks to harvest the underground resources.

It would take tens of thousands of years to kill all of the dead spirits that rose up due to the Sleeper's Revival plan.

However, the human world would not stop developing either. They could only stand a chance of solving their development issues with time.

"I only asked the Spirit Craftsmen to devise plans but did not discuss my decisions with them. Young Master, I can't be bothered to give them an explanation. We might not even be able to survive, but they are trying to talk to me about harvesting and developing resources!"

Lin Yuan shook his head vexedly when he heard what Bai Qinghuan said.

It was unlikely that anyone's heart was blacker than Bai Qinghuan's.

Bai Qinghuan seemed to be complaining about the Spirit Craftsmen. Still, she was actually asking him to give her full authority over the construction of the Radiance Federation's defenses so that she would not be restrained by anyone else.

However, this matter was of paramount importance. Lin Yuan could not allow Bai Qinghuan to call the shots on everything. He needed someone of substantial authority who would be able to restrain her.
