Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

In the wild, it was rare for even the most talented feys to comprehend a Willpower Rune within a decade. It was more common for them to take centuries to comprehend a Willpower Rune.

The Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer had taken centuries after evolving to Diamond X/Legend before they comprehended Willpower Runes.

Lin Yuan was rather amazed.

He had contracted a fair number of feys. If he did not intentionally check their attributes, it would be very difficult for him to keep track of their growth.

Lin Yuan was overjoyed with the Merciful Star Peony's growth.

He had contracted it because of its ability, Casted Item Starlight, and exclusive skill, Constellation Imprint.

Constellation Imprint would enable the strengthening of the body within a short time, while Casted Item Starlight used the power of stars to temper the body and, accordingly, improve the physique.

Lin Yuan did not feel the effects of Casted Item Starlight in his day-to-day life, but it did significantly improve his physique.

The Merciful Star Peony's Silver ability, Tempering Essence Starlight, and Gold ability, Condensing Spirit Starlight, had similar functions to Casted Item Starlight. However, one targeted the increase in spiritual energy and increased the strength of spiritual energy, while the other healed injuries to the soul.

These three abilities individually targeted the body, spirit, and soul.

Although Lin Yuan was now a pinnacle spirit fire expert, these abilities were still useful to him.

The Platinum ability, Starlight Robes, was a defense-type one. It used a piece of clothing made from starlight to help the target fend off the effects of poison and curses.

Starlight Robes could be used on multiple targets and could be deemed as serving a group function.

This ability was outstanding, but Lin Yuan had many abilities that defended against curses.

Only abilities with special functions could truly be of help to Lin Yuan.

However, just because the ability Starlight Robes was not of much help to Lin Yuan did not mean that the Merciful Star Peony was not excellent.

Star-Storing Flower Jade was just like Constellation Imprint in that it was based on Casted Item Starlight.

After the Merciful Star Peony's flower petals absorbed sufficient starlight, they would become jade-textured. The energy in the jade-textured flower petals would be able to speed up the starlight's tempering of Lin Yuan's body.

The biggest function that the Merciful Star Peony served for Lin Yuan was improving his physique.

Hence, all the abilities the Merciful Star Peony gained that were related to this function were precious and effective.

The Suzerain ability, Star River Guide, allowed Lin Yuan to communicate with the stars and confirm his location.

This ability could see through deception and tricks at crucial moments.

Apart from using the star river to confirm his location, he could also obtain blessings from the star river and improve his fortune.

The concept of fortune was broad and abstract. It was difficult to quantify.

However, no one would stop seeking fortune. To everyone, the more fortune, the better.

The Merciful Star Peony could bring fortune to Lin Yuan. This was enough for Lin Yuan to keep it by his side.

Aside from new abilities, the Merciful Star Peony had also gained new exclusive skills.

Star Contraction allowed the Merciful Star Peony to become bound to a star and use the energy in the star to raise its defensive level.

This significantly increased the Merciful Star Peony's ability to protect itself.

When it faced enemies, it could use the power of the star to defend against damage.

The energy from the star that the Merciful Star Peony could utilize depended on the strength of the star and the depth of its bond with the star.

In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, there would be many powerful stars.

In order to increase the Merciful Star Peony's upper limit, Lin Yuan could pick the most powerful star and enable it to bond to the Merciful Star Peony.

Among all of the Merciful Star Peony's abilities and exclusive skills, Lin Yuan found Merciful Stars the most interesting.

As a transmigrator, Lin Yuan understood the significance of stars.

However, the sun, moon, and stars of this world were different from the ones that Lin Yuan had learned about in his previous life. These celestial bodies did not revolve around tangible worlds but manifestations of world wills and energy.

Spring had told Lin Yuan this.

If Spring had not casually mentioned this during one of their conversations, Lin Yuan would not have begun pondering over this.

The different stars were the different representations of world wills that had split off.

If the sun and moon in the fey world were real, the fey world should be a celestial body as well.

Then, the Moon Empress would be unable to use Forage Moon to consume the main world and dimensional worlds' moons.

The stars formed from the world wills would accumulate energy continuously.

When the energy in the stars reached a limit, they would break, and the world wills that comprised the stars would be absorbed by other stars.

Through Merciful Stars, the Merciful Star Peony would take mercy on and experience the hardship of a star and extract the energy within. It would then use the energy to strengthen the body of other targets.

The amount of energy that could be accumulated in a star was enormous. There was a high possibility that such an immense amount of energy would cause the lifeform that was being strengthened to collapse.

Luckily, there was a safety net during the strengthening.

Once the target that was being strengthened could not handle the power of the stars, the strengthening would halt immediately. The additional energy would enter Lin Yuan's body, and he would have to carry the burden.

Lin Yuan's current body was not strong enough to carry too much star power.

But once his body was continuously tempered by starlight, it would eventually be able to handle the star power.

At that time, Lin Yuan could instruct the Merciful Star Peony to use Merciful Stars to strengthen all the members of the Astronomical Parliament.

Lin Yuan was unsure how powerful the Sky Beyond the Clouds' stars were.

If Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter could handle the power, Lin Yuan could strengthen the four of them. This would essentially be strengthening his strongest forces.

As the Merciful Star Peony absorbed the power of the stars, it formed an exceptionally beautiful streak of light above the sea.

Lin Yuan was not in a rush to increase the Merciful Star Peony's power.

The Merciful Star Peony would be able to come into contact with even more star power in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, and it would be able to increase its power much faster than when it was in the main world.

In the day, Lin Yuan allowed the Merciful Star Peony to move around freely. At night, the Merciful Star Peony stayed by Lin Yuan's side and absorbed the power of stars.

When the power of stars tempered his body, Lin Yuan experienced extreme pain.

However, he was already accustomed to the pain.

Hard work paid off for those who put in the work.

…

Dark Blue finally received the attacks of the world wills and began evolving toward World Emperor/Divine Kingdom.

Normally, Lin Yuan would send Spring to help with such situations and help the evolving fey to fend off the attacks from the world wills.

But this time, Lin Yuan stopped Spring.

Instead, he instructed Gray to use Cloud Cover Sky Calamity to absorb the world wills that were targeting Dark Blue.

Gray's ability to absorb the world wills was linked to the faith power it controlled.

Gray had used All Weather Dependency to fuse with Lin Yuan's divine kingdom. Hence, it easily used its clouds to absorb the world wills attacking Dark Blue.

A black ball of calamity cloud was formed.

Gray never excelled at combat. But now that it could control such calamity clouds, it had leaped to the front ranks of Lin Yuan's feys.

After Gray produced the calamity cloud, Dark Blue successfully reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Dark Blue.

[Fey Name]: Moving Source Water (Mermaid Emperor Throne)

[Fey Species]: Source genus/Sacred Source Species

[Fey Grade]: World Emperor (1/10)

[Fey Type]: Water

[Fey Quality]: Elementary Divine Kingdom

[Divine Kingdom Grade]: Miniature

Abilities:

[Flowing]: The water will rush rapidly, and the energy from the water can allow it to flow in any location.

[Halted Flow]: Separating from the main body and turning all the water-elemental energy in the body into raging energy that shoots towards the target.

[Faith Water]: Change faith power into a warm stream of water that can nurture other lifeforms using faith power. Faith Water can increase the rate at which faith power heals and replenishes the lifeform and slow down the faith power in larger bodies. Faith Water can also be used to draw back faith power that was given out, along with any additional faith power gained by the target.

[Faith Application]: The owner can be combined with the Moving Source Water and use all the power in the Moving Source Water. The owner can also inject faith power into the Moving Source Water to increase the strength of the Moving Source Water's abilities.

[Faith Gift or Robbery]: Dark Blue can inject the faith power in its body into targets that can possess faith power to bolster them. It can also steal the right to control faith power from the bodies of targets with weaker faith power.

[Water Vein Block]: Use its bloodline energy to trigger its water-elemental energy that is not in its vicinity. The water-elemental energy will take on the water characteristics under its control and gather them closely together to form a block.

[Faith Shackle]: Link its bloodline power to a target with a similar bloodline. The target's bloodline will be sealed away. If together, they have greater bloodline power than that of the target, the target will lose the ability to accept and manipulate the faith power in its body.

[Faith Charging Tide]: Its own faith power will form tidal water and attack specific targets. The faith power in its body will be sacrificed, and the tidal water will take away the same amount of faith power from the target as the amount that had been sacrificed. Half of that faith power will be returned to its own body.

[Quiet Faith Weak Water]: The faith power and bloodline power in its body will be combined to form a special water source. When this water source is injected into a target's fountain of faith, it will slow down the speed at which faith power circulates, thereby quieting down the water in the fountain of faith.

[Faith Refinement]: It will organize patches of faith power before purifying the faith power to enable it to directly absorb from other targets.

Exclusive Skill:

[Power Water Soul]: Choose a power and condense it into the soul of the Moving Source Water. Any power can be chosen, but the choice cannot be undone. The power will affect the Moving Source Water's future abilities and exclusive skills. When the Moving Source Water receives a certain level of feedback from the power, the Moving Source Water can comprehend any Willpower Rune according to the water-elemental characteristics in its body.

[Undepleted Clean Water]: The water-elemental energy it controls will have an extremely strong resistance to other elements and will not be depleted. In a contaminated environment or when facing an ability with contamination effects, it can ensure the purity of the water-elemental energy under its control.

[Disorientation Water Territory]: Its water-elemental energy and bloodline power will fill up an environment and enable the water-elemental energy in the environment to have the ability to block auras and energy fluctuations, thereby disorienting enemy targets in the area.

[All Water Surging Tides]: The water-elemental energy in its body will be compared to the water-elemental energy in the surrounding environment. If the purity of its water-elemental energy is higher than that of the environment, it can extract the water-elemental energy of the environment to heal its wounds and replenish its depleted energy.

[Charging Flow Body]: The flow of water in its body will flow rapidly forever and will not be affected by the locking effects of other entities. The energy in the body will not stop because of special abilities. Rather, the speed of faith power collection will be increased.

[Mermaid Crown]: When its bloodline is the best among the mermaid species, it will be able to tap into the faith power of inferior mermaids without receiving their respect. When it receives faith power from the surrounding mermaids, the faith power in its body will be improved.

Divine Kingdom Abilities:

[Ocean Abundance]: The water-elemental energy in its body will turn into a territory of water and will be able to speed up the rate of evolution of water-type lifeforms. The water-type lifeforms' ability to produce resources will also be significantly improved. The lifeforms in the sea will also be able to gain more faith power.

Lin Yuan saw that the Moving Source Water and Mermaid Disorientation had changed into Moving Source Water and Mermaid Emperor Throne respectively.

This change came about from the transformation of Dark Blue's mermaid bloodline.

Dark Blue's mermaid bloodline had reached emperor-class but was still a far way off from pinnacle emperor-class.

However, the bloodline of the 12 streams of water surrounding it had all reached pinnacle king-class.

Relative to Dark Blue's level, its bloodline was rather weak.

However, this happened because Lin Yuan had not spent much time using the Body of All Spirits to evolve Dark Blue's bloodline.

Additionally, Lin Yuan did not want to affect the mermaid bloodline in his body.

Otherwise, the bloodline of Dark Blue's main body would have already reached the thearch level!

Lin Yuan could continue to evolve Dark Blue's bloodline.

Lin Yuan looked through Dark Blue's new abilities, exclusive skills, and divine kingdom ability in detail.

Dark Blue's Ocean Abundance was a rare territory-type divine kingdom ability.

Although Ocean Abundance was unrelated to the control of faith power, it was a treasure trove that could significantly increase the production of resources.
