Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Eighth Page Apoptosis had been wailing to himself ever since he concluded that Lin Yuan was deranged.

As a Class 5 Creation Master, he had been creating statues for the Pulsing Fountain in Tower Canon. He embedded the law power of Myth Breed and above feys within the statues so that the water from the Pulsing Fountain would wash and expose the spiritual properties of the statue.

His partner in this task was Third Page Eternal Sin, whose deranged manner had made things very difficult for him. If not for Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan and Second Page Revival's insistence, he would have quit.

Another reason for Eighth Page Apoptosis choosing to turn to the Radiance Federation was that he was a Class 5 Creation Master. A true blue Creation Master would be very helpful to a highly populated federation like the Radiance Federation. He should be placed on a pedestal, not treated like a lowly criminal.

When Eighth Page Apoptosis thought about all he had contributed to Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan, he found himself laughable.

If Eighth Page Apoptosis' guess was correct, he was merely one of the Eight Pages in name. However, in reality, he was nothing but a tool or sacrifice for the Sleeper's Revival plan. This thought caused his spirits to sink.

He did not know what the other Eight Pages were thinking, but there was a time when he truly saw Tower Canon as his home.

As a Class 5 Creation Master, he preferred to find a quiet place where he could analyze and concoct potions without being bothered. He did not like to go out, as he preferred to be left alone.

This was not uncommon among Creation Masters, as most of them had come from humble beginnings and had experienced the scarcity of resources.

Besides Lin Yuan, who had received a leg up, almost every Creation Master had experienced what it was like to be a Class 1 Creation Master who lacked resources.

Before reaching Class 3, Creation Masters could increase their level by gaining knowledge.

But once they became a Class 3 Creation Master, they would begin to concoct increasingly complex spirit fluids, and the homogeneity of spiritual ingredients could only be achieved through experience with handling spiritual ingredients. This not only required a large amount of time but spiritual resources as well.

A hoarder who liked to be left alone could not handle such threats.

The more unknown something was, the more terrifying it would be. This was why Eighth Page Apoptosis felt an unspeakable terror toward Lin Yuan.

Eighth Page Apoptosis thought that his horizons were sufficiently broad. However, he knew absolutely nothing about Lin Yuan.

He could not understand how a young man could be so powerful!

The Radiance Federation had to be aware of this young man's power to send him alone to meet with Eighth Page Apoptosis. Were they not suspicious of how he came to possess such immense power?

Lin Yuan did not know that Eighth Page Apoptosis was frightened by seeing him combined with the Abyss Red Lotus. He also did not know that Eighth Page Apoptosis had already gone through simulations of many different possibilities in his mind.

Lin Yuan's true background was even more ridiculous than Eighth Page Apoptosis' wildest guesses. He was a transmigrator, and the world he came from was completely different from the main world and Sky Beyond the Clouds. There was no connection between them.

Lin Yuan thought that Eighth Page Apoptosis did not want to play nice. If so, he would not mind giving him a harder push so that he could see his current situation more clearly.

With a gentle wave of his hand, two spikes pierced through Eighth Page Apoptosis, pinning him to the ground like a crucifixion. Eighth Page Apoptosis could not help but groan in pain.

Lin Yuan had only used the physical technique of the Abyss Red Lotus' spikes to pierce him. He had not yet instructed the lotus to unleash its power. If he had, the spikes would have already drained Eighth Page Apoptosis dry and reduced him to ashes.

"I was afraid that you were out of it. Have you regained your senses now? What I just did wasn't even considered a light punishment. If you want to find out what a light punishment entails, you can do so by not responding to the questions I'm asking you!"

Lin Yuan's words sent a shiver up Eighth Page Apoptosis' spine.

Eighth Page Apoptosis had always been able to understand things quickly and was well aware of what he needed to do. Otherwise, he would not have fled Tower Canon alongside Third Page Eternal Sin and Seventh Page War!

As a Class 5 Creation Master, Eighth Page Apoptosis' Tower of Apoptosis contained more riches than Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment's Tower of Instant Extinguishment. When his safety was being threatened, the hoarder Eighth Page Apoptosis was even willing to let go of all those resources, much less respond to Lin Yuan's questions.

Eighth Page Apoptosis took a deep breath before saying hoarsely, "I know full well that I am in your hands. If I know your questions' answers, I will give them up! But I can't promise that I know everything!

"I am sure that the Radiance Federation has already gained considerable information about Tower Canon. You must know that we Eight Pages are in an awkward position now."

Lin Yuan could tell that Eighth Page Apoptosis was being honest.

He was certain that Eighth Page Apoptosis would be willing to cooperate with his questioning. Everything would be fine as long as he was willing to cooperate!

Lin Yuan had come to see Eighth Page Apoptosis in order to verify his speculations as well as gain a better understanding of Tower Canon's inner workings. He had not expected to learn about Tower Canon's biggest secrets.

If Eighth Page Apoptosis truly knew Tower Canon's biggest secrets, whoever was the mastermind of Tower Canon would not have allowed him to leave Tower Canon and flee to the Radiance Federation.

"That goes without saying. I won't ask you to fabricate information you don't know."

While Lin Yuan spoke, he summoned the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom and instructed it to release numerous spores.

The spores gathered around Eighth Page Apoptosis. With his power, he could keep the spores away from him.

Nonetheless, Eighth Page Apoptosis dared not resist. He even breathed in to take the spores into his body. This was his way of demonstrating his stance to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was very satisfied with Eighth Page Apoptosis' actions. From this, he could tell that Eighth Page Apoptosis was the type to adapt to his circumstances.

This would make it much easier for him to question Eighth Page Apoptosis later. With his power as a Class 5 Creation Master, he could easily see through the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom.
