Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Lin Yuan felt that every one of his World Emperor/Divine Kingdom feys attained unique abilities, all extremely effective in their respective areas.

There were even a few feys with divine kingdom abilities that could increase their rate of absorption of faith power.

The rate of absorption of faith power was related to the World Emperor/Divine Kingdom lifeform's subsequent evolution in grade and quality.

If every World Emperor/Divine Kingdom fey was this powerful, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter might not be able to shield him from all storms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds!

Spring was currently standing in midair and helping Sky Sea to defend against the world wills.

When she saw Lin Yuan's expression, Spring hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Lord Saint, I am willing to dispel your concerns and solve your troubles! If there is anything that's bothering you, please do tell me about them!"

Lin Yuan told Spring about his thoughts.

Lin Yuan would never share these concerns with Spring if he had only just become acquainted with her.

But now, they had known each other for decades, and Lin Yuan was very familiar with her.

He had noticed that Spring was helping him with almost every task.

With Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter by his side, Lin Yuan was afforded a lot of convenience. It also allowed Lin Yuan to do many things in the past ten years that he would not have been able to accomplish on his own.

When Spring heard Lin Yuan's concerns, she blinked a few times. She was momentarily at a loss about what to say.

In spite of her immense respect for Lin Yuan, she could not help but think, Lord Saint, you are really underestimating your resources and body composition!

Every spirit qi crystal that Lin Yuan used the Totem God to produce could lead to the start of a war in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

It was true that Spring would normally try to flatter Lin Yuan. But when she complained about him to herself, she did not try to flatter him at all.

None of the direct descendants of the top 100 species in the Sky Beyond the Clouds were capable of possessing and using such an abundance of resources to increase their power.

Moreover, all of Lin Yuan's feys received his resources when they were at their weakest. By laying down such solid foundations, they steadily and reliably grew into eventual powerhouses.

Aside from the provision of resources, Lin Yuan also used his Body of All Spirits to evolve his feys.

The resources that feys used to increase their strength would directly affect the abilities, exclusive skills, and divine kingdom abilities they gained.

Hence, it would only be strange if Lin Yuan's feys did not gain powerful abilities, exclusive skills, and divine kingdom abilities.

Once Spring explained all this to Lin Yuan, he nodded in understanding.

During his process of nurturing feys, Lin Yuan had also come to notice that the ones he nurtured using outstanding resources gained stronger abilities and exclusive skills than other feys of the same grade.

The white-clothed followers were the best example of this.

Before Sky City's white-clothed followers joined Sky City, they were bottomfeeders who were unable to access resources. Their feys only gained abilities when they reached Platinum grade.

But when the Bronze/Legend feys Lin Yuan gave them were nurtured, they gained abilities once they reached Gold grade.

It turned out that this gap became even more obvious once feys reached the Divine Kingdom level.

This realization strengthened Lin Yuan's resolution to provide his new feys with only the best foundations.

Among all of his feys, Lin Yuan had injected the most resources into Sky Sea. This was true from the time he contracted it.

Sky Sea's abilities, exclusive skills, and divine kingdom abilities lived up to the resources that Lin Yuan had invested.

In the past year, Sky Sea had gained two new abilities. One was Sea Sky Exchange, and the other was World Roots Consume.

Sea Sky Exchange was another manifestation of its Heavenly Family Fey power.

Sky Sea could use its Heavenly Family Fey abilities to control the surrounding environment. The control it exerted was related to the strength and acknowledgment of the world wills.

Lin Yuan did not know how strong Sky Sea's control would be in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

But in the main world, its control extended to the Barren Sea and the sky above it.

If Sky Sea wanted to, it could exchange the sea's environment and turn it into the sky, or vice versa.

Normally, feys had environments that did not suit their combat styles or were unable to take shelter in.

When feys that flew in the sky landed in the sea, they did not have to attack each other as all parties would be seriously affected.

The same went for feys that lived in the sea when they arrived in an aerial environment. If feys that lived in the deep sea were brought to an aerial environment, the pressure would cause their bodies to bloat and eventually lead to death.

Sea Sky Exchange was an ability that was suitable for combat and not only had support but also powerful combat functions.

An ability like this was very suitable for Sky Sea, the Heavenly Family Fey controlling the sky and sea.

World Roots Consume gave Sky Sea the ability to consume and digest the root power of a world.

When Lin Yuan conquered Tower Canon, Spring had helped him to obtain the root power of the dead world.

Special techniques could be used to extract world power.

Sky Sea could use root power to strengthen itself!

It was clear just how formidable Sky Sea's body was.

Sky Sea could not only use the root power to strengthen itself but could also enable the secret realm on its back and in its abdomen to have the same level of conception as the root power. This conception ability allowed it to create a world of its own.

With the root power, the lifeforms on its back and in its abdomen could reproduce.

This would be like opening a dimensional space and placing a plant-type fey within. If the plant-type fey did not receive resources, it would not be able to evolve. But if the environment contained the root power of a world, the plant-type fey would be able to absorb the energy in the world and evolve naturally. This was the difference that the root power of a world could create!

In the future, the feys that Lin Yuan planted on Sky Sea's back and in its abdomen would not only grow by absorbing the energy supplied by Sky Sea but could also evolve naturally after being nurtured by the root power of a world.

World Roots Consume could be perfectly paired with Whale World Piety!

Once the lifeforms on Sky Sea's back and abdomen reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, they would be able to collect faith power.

A certain fraction of the faith power they gained would be supplied to Sky Sea.

Although the total volume of faith power would not change as Sky Sea would only be gaining the faith power attained by other lifeforms, there would be differences in quality.

This was just like how one bomb would only be able to blow up one mound of dirt. But hundreds or thousands of bombs would together be able to level a mountain.

Whale World Piety had the ability to gather faith power.

Sky Sea could choose to absorb this faith power. But before it did so, it would need to sacrifice the faith power that had been supplied to it.

The sacrifice would entail the depletion of a proportion of its faith power.

Although this would cause the overall quantity of faith power to fall, it would use the limited amount of faith power to nurture a powerful entity.

Moreover, Sky Sea could not only absorb the faith power that was supplied to it but could also inject it into other lifeforms instead to strengthen them.

This was very similar to its exclusive skill, Faith Gift!

When Sky Sea injected faith power into targets with unrelated bloodlines, the faith power would be depleted. However, if injected into the whales that it produced, the faith power would not be depleted.

Hence, it was clear that using the gathered faith power to nurture whales it produced on its own would be the best option!

This could be perfectly paired with Sky Sea's new exclusive skill, Whale's Extension.

When Sky Sea had sufficient energy in its body, it could use up a portion of its bloodline to create fetuses that shared its bloodline. It was guaranteed that the fetuses would also be Floating Island Whales and not Island Whales.

It was difficult for any fey to recover their bloodline.

However, Lin Yuan possessed precious resources and the Body of All Spirits that could replenish Sky Sea's bloodline.

Thus, Sky Sea could produce whales without suffering any consequences and subsequently evolve their strength through Faith Gift.

It went without saying that Faith Gift also had its limitations.

Once the fetuses produced by Sky Sea hatched, they would take on its characteristics but not its abilities and exclusive skills.

Nonetheless, the whales produced by Sky Sea would still be able to carry out their duties with regard to Sky City.

In the year that Lin Yuan had spent nurturing Sky Sea, Dark Blue had also improved substantially.

With Lin Yuan's provision of water-elemental energy, Dark Blue had evolved from Fantasy Breed to Creation Breed. However, its grade had yet to reach Sovereign.

If a comparison was made, Dark Blue's grade evolved faster than that of Gray!

The 12 pillars of water around Dark Blue that were formed by law power had transformed into miniature mermaids, circling Dark Blue's main body. Although the bloodline power in Dark Blue's main body had yet to reach king-class, it was not far off.

The mermaids around it all had intermediate mermaid bloodlines.

Dark Blue's mermaid bloodline was faint, but Lin Yuan could inject mermaid bloodline energy into it to enable it to evolve.

It could be said that when it came to bloodline, Dark Blue's future was limitless!

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Dark Blue.
