Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Lin Yuan had been looking forward to the formation of the subterranean world's treasure for a very long time because he wanted to use the millions of Land Imps to perform something big!

Land Imps were loved by the earth and possessed strong abilities to control it. They were among the few lower-level dimensional creatures that could reach the Samsara Realm.

These Land Imps swiftly constructed Thick Soil City in a very short time.

During that period, Lin Yuan had only a few hundred Land Imps under his command. Yet, within merely two months, they managed to lay Thick Soil City's foundation.

The main world was on the brink of a crisis.

From Eighth Page Apoptosis, Lin Yuan learned that Tower Canon had spent thousands of years using the aura of death to manipulate ley lines. This made the Sleeper's Revival plan almost inevitable.

Lin Yuan couldn't avert this catastrophe even if he found Tower Canon's headquarters.

With his current strength, Lin Yuan lacked the confidence to defeat Tower Canon. Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean had experienced the might of First Page Crimson firsthand. He was undoubtedly an Afterlife Realm powerhouse!

Initially, there were just Eight Pages of Tower Canon, which meant there were at least eight Afterlife Realm experts under Tower Canon's command.

Lin Yuan had been tirelessly pursuing Tower Canon, trying to catch up.

Presently, by merging with the Abyss Red Lotus, Lin Yuan could surpass the Afterlife Realm. However, he only had two subordinates in the Afterlife Realm.

First Page Crimson had already demonstrated his Afterlife Realm prowess. But who could guarantee that was his maximum capability?

The utmost priority was to fortify their defenses to confront the disaster caused by Tower Canon and to stand against innumerable undead lifeforms.

Within a month, the millions of Land Imps from the subterranean world could erect a formidable defense for the main world. Power was crucial, but neglecting defense was not an option.

The Sleeper's Revival plan involved tapping into ley lines to revive every single lifeform that had died in the main world.

The Radiance Federation's history was only a drop in the ocean in the timeline of the main world's existence. It was impossible to estimate, in all the lengthy epochs of the past, just how many lifeforms had ever died on the land that the Radiance Federation's cities currently sat on.

Once dead spirits rose from the ground, they would immediately begin attacking the Radiance Federation's cities.

The Land Imps could combine metal spiritual ingredients that could suppress or cleanse death aura with extremely durable metal spiritual ingredients to create planks that were around 50 meters thick. These planks would be laid over every corner of the Radiance Federation's cities to ensure that the undead lifeforms would not be able to emerge from the ground.

Even if some powerful dead spirits managed to break through the defense, they would be killed by the guards stationed there.

The Land Imps could also use the metal spiritual ingredients to build a Dead Spirits Well, and guards would be stationed around it to kill any dead spirits that burst out from it!

If he left this task to Spirit Craftsmen, it would take them hundreds of thousands of years to complete it. After all, it was not easy to stack numerous types of metal spiritual ingredients to create planks.

Additionally, only a few mineral veins contained the minerals capable of quelling the death aura, making the task of gathering materials challenging.

Fortunately, the subterranean world offered ample resources, which were enough to sustain defense fortification.

Lin Yuan could assist other groups with the Radiance Federation's defenses bolstered.

The Earth Source Cube emerged at the perfect time. Lin Yuan had instructed Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow to gather all Land Imps, irrespective of their strength. This task was likely completed.

Lin Yuan's blood scattered onto the Earth Source Cube, which eagerly consumed every drop.

The Myth Breed Jasmine Lily's healing abilities had vastly improved from its original level. It could now easily help to replenish Lin Yuan's blood.

Although he already had three experiences behind him, Lin Yuan was still weakened and his legs turned to jelly by the time he was done contracting the Earth Source Cube.

Lin Yuan hurriedly took out numerous Blood-Producing Golden Dates so he could consume them and recover.

He then handed the Earth Source Cube to Carnage Source and instructed him to take it into the subterranean world as quickly as possible.

Once his body recovered, Lin Yuan placed the subterranean world's tome into the fountain of faith in his divine kingdom and went back to sleep.

He hoped that by the time he woke up, the main world would not be in the middle of a fight with Tower Canon as his plan still required another three months of development.

Undoubtedly, Tower Canon had never been afraid of the power of the federations. The only thing that truly scared Tower Canon was Epoch God Palace.

Eighth Page Apoptosis had sounded extremely austere when he spoke about Epoch God Palace. It seemed as though Tower Canon had never been able to get a leg up on that faction.

The mastermind controlling Tower Canon had awoken. First Page Crimson might not have acted in the main world due to fear of Epoch God Palace.

Epoch God Palace limited Tower Canon's actions, indicating their sinister plan couldn't proceed fast.

Even with these thoughts, Lin Yuan didn't pin his hopes on them. He had to prepare quickly!

Now, Lin Yuan was ready for the worst.

…

When Lin Yuan fell asleep again, Chef Supreme and Iron Prison successfully transported the imprisoned Mirror God, God of Fools, and the remaining members of the Freedom Federation's royalty to the Radiance Federation. Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor aided in this effort.

To maintain stability within the Freedom Federation after the departure of the Mirror God, God of Fools, and the royalty, Eternal Source deployed 50 Samsara Realm Dictators in the Freedom Federation. This measure aimed to prevent any potential chaos from erupting.

Although the Mirror God, God of Fools, and the other members of the Freedom Federation's royalty had previously visited the Radiance Federation, their current physical and psychological states significantly differed from their previous visits.

They had felt smug and arrogant on their previous trips to the Radiance Federation. But this time, they were under the Radiance Federation's thumb, and their lives were no longer under their control.

This was so ironic!

This especially applied to the Mirror God and God of Fools. As spirit-fire experts, they never imagined that they would one day end up in such a state.

Once they arrived at the Radiance Federation, Chef Supreme and Iron Prison finally let out a breath of relief. They had undertaken significant risk on this trip to the Freedom Federation. As such, they were carrying enormous pressure.

It would be another matter if this trip only endangered them. But, the 5,000,000 Radiance spirit qi professionals had also put themselves at risk.

In spite of the protection that Lin Yuan had provided, the pressure they felt was another separate matter.

Luckily, nothing had gone wrong, and everything had ended smoothly.

Chef Supreme and Iron Prison brought the Mirror God, God of Fools, and the other members of the Freedom Federation's royalty to the Radiant Moon Palace, where the Moon Empress would decide their fate.

The Moon Empress had already received news that Chef Supreme and Iron Prison were on their way back, so she was waiting for them.

At the same time, she pondered over what she would do with the Freedom Federation's royalty. Even being who she was, she could not come up with any ideas.

She had thought about discussing this with Lin Yuan, but he had already said he did not want to be involved in this matter and that she had full authority in making all decisions.

If she still sought him out, it would make her seem useless.

Chef Supreme and Iron Prison left the Freedom Federation's royalty at the foot of Leaning Moon Mountain while they headed up to meet with the Moon Empress.

Ever since the Moon Empress became a Class 6 Creation Master and awoke her birth horoscope, the Spacetime Elder handed the Radiance Federation to her. He even stopped attending every imperial meeting.

From this, all of them knew that the Moon Empress had succeeded the Spacetime Elder's position.

It was true that she deserved it!

The Moon Empress and Lin Yuan had completely renewed the Radiance Federation, allowing it to become the true 'No.1 federation' in the world.

Both Chef Supreme and Iron Prison greatly respected the Moon Empress.

The Moon Empress did not immediately go and see the Freedom Federation's royalty after meeting up with Chef Supreme and Iron Prison. Instead, she asked them about the details of their trip to the Freedom Federation.

Although she had been communicating with them through the Thoughts Letter Paper, it could not compare with face-to-face communication. It was difficult for Chef Supreme and Iron Prison to report fully to her through the Thoughts Letter Paper and could not include a significant portion of details.

Both of them knew that the Moon Empress had succeeded the Spacetime Elder and was very busy.

Once Chef Supreme and Iron Prison were done reporting the details to the Moon Empress, she frowned and thought, It's a good thing that I already told Little Yuan about the situation. Otherwise, Chef Supreme, Iron Prison, and the 5,000,000 Radiance spirit qi professionals would have lost their lives in the Freedom Federation!

The Moon Empress waved her hand and said, "I am going to call for an imperial meeting now. The two of you can describe everything properly then.

"Bring the people from the Freedom Federation to the imperial meeting, too. We will decide the fate of the Mirror God, God of Fools, and the rest during the imperial meeting!"

Iron Prison and Chef Supreme both nodded in understanding. Hearing this, they realized that the Moon Empress had not yet decided how to handle the royalty of the Freedom Federation. This was a complex issue indeed.

While using the Freedom Federation's royalty wasn't a straightforward choice, disregarding them would appear wasteful. Managing the royalty might be manageable, but dealing with the vast Freedom Federation posed challenges.

The Radiance Federation was preparing for another imperial meeting. This upcoming gathering would include not only the usual members but also the Mirror God, God of Fools, and other members of the Freedom Federation's royalty.

…

The Radiance Federation's imperial meeting shocked the Freedom Federation's royalty. They discovered that the Radiance Federation conducted its imperial meetings differently.

During the Radiance Federation's meeting, their royalty communicated efficiently and listened to each other. This was quite unlike the meetings at the Freedom Mystic Temple!

This meeting reminded the veteran members of the Freedom Federation's royalty of the past. Decades ago, their meetings in the Freedom Mystic Temple used to be smooth and effective.

However, everything changed when the Mirror God and God of Fools ignited their spirit fires.

Yet, it was evident that the core issue wasn't the spirit fire ignition itself.

The Radiance Federation's Spacetime Elder had also ignited his spirit fire, but the transformation he underwent was not the same as the Mirror God and God of Fools.

After the discussions during the meeting, the Moon Empress made her decision.

The royalty of the Freedom Federation would pledge their loyalty to the Moon Empress, binding themselves through their Willpower Runes, Law Runes, Eternal Hearts, and related means. This ensured her complete authority over them.

Subsequently, they would return to the Freedom Federation.

Considering the vast number of Freedom citizens, someone needed to oversee their management, as the dimensional lifeforms were unfamiliar with human affairs. Lin Yuan lacked time to handle Freedom Federation matters, so the Moon Empress made that choice.

Although the Moon Empress' decision was unsettling for the Freedom Federation's royalty, they all understood they lacked the right to refuse. The Radiance Federation controlled them now, and dissent could lead to their elimination.

If only a few of them agreed, they would be able to gain control of the Freedom Federation. The Freedom Federation's royalty were used to scheming and hoped their cohorts would not agree so they could gain a bigger piece of the pie.

During their journey, they slowly embraced their current roles. They were all smart and understood the outcome of refusing.

Even the Mirror God and God of Fools hesitated a bit but eventually agreed to the Moon Empress' decision and solemnly gave a wisp of their spirit fires.

The Moon Empress now had the power to decide whether the royalty of the Freedom Federation lived or died. She didn't need to worry anymore!

So, she told the Mirror God, God of Fools, and the others to go back. If she needed anything, she would just tell them directly.

The Moon Empress spoke with each one of the Freedom Federation's royalty privately before they left. The conversation left every member feeling like they had the authority to control the others.

…

On the way back, the Mirror God was incensed when he remembered how Li Yang had voluntarily submitted to the Radiance Federation after he and God of Fools had been restrained.

However, the Mirror God dared not attack him for it.

Firstly, he could not touch Li Yang now that they were all under the Moon Empress' control, as Li Yang could just go running to the Moon Empress to complain.

Previously, he always felt that authority came from power. But now, it was clear that this no longer applied. Whoever the Moon Empress trusted more would have more authority.

Li Yang, Du Miao, and the other members were no longer afraid of the Mirror God and God of Fools, nor did they act as though they were subservient.

Rather, some of them were even trying to come up with ways to trip up the Mirror God and God of Fools.

The two brothers were no longer intimidating in the slightest, and Na Na became the one who had the most speaking authority.
