Fey Evolution Merchant

2417 Lin Yuan, the Merman Thearch!

At that moment, Lin Yuan and Begin Lady were utterly defenseless like meat on a chopping board.

Luckily, Hornless Dragon Source, Evil Source, and Mist Source were unaware of Lin Yuan’s current situation.

The New Thearch’s Scale sealed one’s body, spiritual energy, and soul.

Under the nourishment from the New Thearch’s Scale, Lin Yuan’s spiritual energy and soul continuously improved.

It could be said that Lin Yuan had no way of communicating with the Abundance Treasure Tree to eliminate Evil Source, Mist Source, and Hornless Dragon Source in the event that they betrayed him.

Lin Yuan had fully ensconced himself in danger.

Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Mist Source were all Samsara Realm Dictators who could sense Lin Yuan’s current situation. However, after enduring Lin Yuan’s pressure for a long time, they had lost their will to resist. They were also unwilling to risk attacking Lin Yuan now and exposing themselves to the possibility of being killed by the Abundance Treasure Tree.

Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Mist Source exchanged looks before they naturally arrived at the outskirts of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye to guard Lin Yuan and prevent the mermaids from rushing over.

Besides fear, the three of them each had their own reasons for not wanting to betray him.

Mist Source had always firmly stood with Eternal Source.

Eternal Source was now Lin Yuan’s loyal supporter, and Mist Source would not go against Eternal Source’s decision.

In fact, if Evil Source or Hornless Dragon Source came up with any evil ideas, Mist Source would definitely step in to protect Lin Yuan. Protecting Lin Yuan was the equivalent of safeguarding Eternal Source’s will.

After Evil Source lost the bet to Lin Yuan and lost her Green Field Secret Treasure, she had fallen to rank seven among the Dictators with the word ‘source’ in their names. Even Carnage Source, who was the weakest of the lot, had the audacity to target her.

If Lin Yuan had not conquered the marsh world, Evil Source would never have been able to reach her current status.

As such, Evil Source believed that following Lin Yuan was a very profitable choice.

Hornless Dragon Source focused on the future more than the other Dictators from the marsh world did. Hornless Dragon Source was willing to take on even more suffering for a better future.

This mindset allowed him to sit firmly in her position as the marsh world’s third-ranked Samsara Realm Dictator all this time.

Otherwise, given Hornless Dragon Source’s species, it would have been near impossible for him to achieve all of his accomplishments.

There was no reason for Hornless Dragon Source not to treasure this opportunity of coming with Lin Yuan to the new world that was the water world.

With the pain and itchiness that he was feeling, Lin Yuan could not concern himself with anything else. Even with his willpower, he was almost driven to insanity by this endless itchiness.

As the seconds ticked past, the color of Lin Yuan’s scales and hair was also slowly transformed by the New Thearch’s Scale.

An illusionary image appeared in Lin Yuan’s mind.

It depicted an endless expanse of sea that could only be the kingdom of mermaids. Mermaids were swimming around delightedly in the sea.

Suddenly, a group of lifeforms with bat wings descended from the sky. They were just as beautiful as mermaids. However, mermaids were mostly female, while these lifeforms with bat wings were more likely to be male.

A long and drawn-out battle began. It only ended when the entire sea was stained by blood, and most of the mermaids had been massacred.

A mermaid dressed in battle armor with an orange beast next to her pierced the triton she was holding into the center of her forehead and dug out the scale from there.

The blood-stained scale lay silently in the mermaid’s hands for a moment before she reached up and dug out her left eye and replaced it with the scale.

Next, she sent this small orange beast far away with her left eye.

However, three of the handsome winged lifeforms soon attacked the small beast, and it fell back into the dimensional currents below.

At that moment, the image in his mind shattered, and his body, spiritual energy, and soul were unlocked.

At the same time, a blue and gold scale appeared on Lin Yuan’s forehead. It was completely different from the one that Lin Yuan had absorbed, as it was now covered with his own aura.

Lin Yuan’s fishtail and long hair were now the same shade of blue and gold as the New Thearch’s Scale.

The transparent blue and radiant gold, which were the most revered colors by mermaids, appeared on Lin Yuan’s body.

The moment Lin Yuan’s bloodline recovered, he broke through his limits, and his bloodline transformed to thearch-class.

Lin Yuan could sense that his body had become much more solid.

During the process of his bloodline evolving from pinnacle emperor-class to thearch-class, Lin Yuan came to understand three things.

The first was the origin of the New Thearch’s Scale and what the Deep Chasm Sea Eye exactly was. Both of them came from a mermaid thearch.

The image he had seen was not fake. Lin Yuan would not have seen the skunk with orange fur if the image had been fake. The skunk was the spitting image of the form that Green Vine had produced with Entire Body Medium.

He would not have been able to tell anything from just the half-corpse that he had been left with.

It turned out that the mermaids, or the mermaids that used to be under this mermaid thearch, had been embroiled in a bloody battle by another species that ended in the loss of most of the mermaids.

Otherwise, a mermaid thearch would never have harmed herself in order to find a way out for the mermaids that would allow them to continue surviving and passing on their bloodline.

The skunk lifeform had indeed arrived in the water world alongside the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. It was akin to the key to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

However, the winged lifeform had killed the skunk long before it arrived in the water world, and the other parts of its corpse had likely already been ground up by the dimensional currents.

It would not have ended up in Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers’ possession if it was still alive or still had any consciousness remaining.

The second thing he learned was that the scene he had seen had not taken place in the main world.

For now, he would call the lifeforms with bat wings the blood clan. The lifeforms from the blood clan were very similar to the vampires that Lin Yuan had read about in his previous life.

That other world contained a great number of species.

Lin Yuan was filled with excitement toward this world. But given his current power, he also knew it was too early for him to explore it now.

The third thing he learned was what the mermaid species represented and how he could enable their bloodline to carry on.

Instead of saying that the New Thearch’s Scale would allow pinnacle emperor-class mermaids to evolve their bloodlines to thearch-class, it was actually a unique method for them to carry on their legacy.

King-class mermaids could indeed rely on obtaining the affection of emperor-class mermaids in order to evolve their bloodlines.
