Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Normally, the more powerful the lifeform, the more curious it would be. The insect empresses had definitely done their own probing.

When Carly heard Lin Yuan's question, she was momentarily at a loss for an answer.

She had never thought about telling a stranger about one of the alien insect world's key secrets, even if the stranger had already taken control of them. Thus, she needed to adjust her mindset.

Mexa wanted to give Carly another chance. Carly was the most curious insect empress and had harvested the most sacred blood.

She had not expected Carly to fail to rise to the occasion when given this opportunity!

Mexa hurriedly cut in and said, "Lord, from our records, every generation of insect empresses has investigated the crater behind the mountain many times, but none of them have managed to come up with anything. We have tried many methods, but not once were we able to open the crater any further.

"My generation of insect empresses has also made numerous attempts. We achieved nothing on the first few attempts, but Carly and I discovered movement on the other side of the rock crater during one of the last few times.

"When we looked in, all we saw was darkness, so we couldn't tell what was in its depths. This is everything that we know about this. We haven't hidden anything from you! With your power, I'm sure you'll be able to open up the crater."

Lin Yuan frowned when he heard what Mexa said.

Given the development of the alien insects, there had to be pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators among the previous generations of insect empresses. The fact that they were unable to break open the crater meant that the hardness of the surrounding rock went beyond the Samsara Realm.

Something like this should not exist in a dimensional world.

A crater couldn't appear without reason. The hole that had appeared was just large enough for the Sky-Plundering Beast's blood to ooze through. This had to be intentional.

As such, it seemed as though the enormous alien insect world was a petri dish.

But if someone was intentionally trying to nurture the alien insects, what was the point? Furthermore, things should not have been so quiet if that were the case.

Lin Yuan was not surprised to hear Mexa mention that there was movement on the other side of the crater.

The Sky-Plundering Beast had to be there on the other side of the crater. Otherwise, the blood oozing out of the crater would not be this fresh.

When he linked this to the egg that was soaking in the inheritance ground, the reason behind the appearance of the Sky-Plundering Beast's blood was no longer difficult to explain.

The blood oozing out from the stone crater would allow the alien insects to continuously become stronger.

Due to the influence of the Genetic Locks, the powerful alien insects would definitely take careful care of the egg and do their best to help it to hatch.

Once the egg hatched, it would be able to use the influence of the Genetic Locks to absorb the Sky-Plundering Beast's blood to increase and break through its power.

Since everything was being prepared for the sake of the egg, it was either the egg's parents who had done so or the egg itself. It was trying to bring itself back to life, just like the Abyss Red Lotus' seed.

With this thought, Lin Yuan decided not to investigate the stone cavity first. Instead, he would head to the inheritance ground to take a look at and learn more about the egg.

True Data would definitely be able to tell if the egg was trying to return to its original state.

Lin Yuan waved at Mexa and Carly and said, "The two of you, take me to the inheritance ground. Let me take a look at the egg and see if it can be hatched!"

Mexa could no longer be bothered with Carly. It was clear that Carly needed some time to adjust herself and realize what the right decision to make was when she was by Lin Yuan's side.

Mexa had been willing to give Carly a chance to showcase herself but could not be bothered to instruct her carefully. She would just have to grow slowly!

"Lord, I'll lead the way now! We will need to pass a pool of miasma in order to reach the inheritance ground. The miasma there is very toxic."

Mexa grabbed Carly and pushed her forward so she could lead the way.

The miasma would not significantly affect insect queens, much less poisoning Lin Yuan to death.

Lin Yuan had two Afterlife Realm experts by his side.

If this Afterlife Realm expert with the aura of fire-elemental energy pouring out from him just sneezed, he would be able to burn up all of the miasma.

However, Mexa had to explain everything to Lin Yuan first. If Lin Yuan happened to see this as a threat, he might think they were trying to turn against him by omitting such information!

Lin Yuan stood on the Abyss Great Emperor's palm and was positioned next to Eternal Source behind Mexa and Carly.

Red Thorn wanted to use the Abyss Great Emperor's flames to evaporate the pool of miasma and disperse the vapor, but Lin Yuan stopped it.

If the entire inheritance ground was meant to hatch this egg, everything around it had to have its special significance.

Lin Yuan felt that it would be best to leave everything as they were before he thoroughly investigated the inheritance ground.

After passing through the pool of miasma, Lin Yuan saw a large insect nest.

The insect nest was constructed beautifully and larger than Carly's own nest.

When Mexa saw Lin Yuan looking at the large infrastructure, she said softly, "There are clear and strict requirements involved in our inheritance. The insect empresses' nests must be smaller than the inheritance ground's.

"Even if we manage to become insect thearchs, we must continue regarding the inheritance ground with respectful fear. We still can't expand our nest larger than the inheritance ground!

"There are millions of alien insects and personal guards living in every insect empress' nest. However, the inheritance ground's structure has no tunnels for other alien insects to reside in. There is only a large hall where the stone tablet and inheritance pool are located."

Once Mexa was done speaking, Carly thought of something and said softly, "We alien insects have always followed the rule that a batch of alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks must be sacrificed no later than 14 days after the previous sacrifice.

"I stayed behind to keep up this tradition. But because I went to welcome you, the sacred pool has not received a sacrifice in 15 days!"
