This topic was brought up by East Glow. Since East Glow was the current decision-maker of the Marsh East Palace, the pressure and responsibility on its shoulders were almost suffocating.

During the interaction with the Palace of Everything, everyone retracted their necks and darted around the topic. However, East Glow had no choice but to stick its neck out and interact with the Palace of Everything.

As time passed, East Glow came to understand the importance of power.

At first, East Glow was not the type to chase power. But now, it had started chasing power as its top priority.

Even its admiration for Star Splendor came after its yearning for power had been quelled.

In order to quickly increase one's power, especially during this period of stagnation, the best way was to select and become loyal to an Apostle.

East Glow thought that its suggestion would provide a way out for its companions.

Yet, after it made this suggestion, it received a lot of pushback. Only a minority of Apostles agreed with it.

It was no wonder that the Marsh East Circle was going downhill.

With these Apostles who did not want to progress and were happy to continue basking in their power, the Marsh East Circle had no future in sight.

East Glow suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion, and it no longer wanted to continue fighting with its colleagues.

East Glow said, "If we can't come to an agreement, I will request to become this Dictator's follower. I will follow if this Dictator chooses to leave the Marsh East Circle."

East Glow's expression turned serious as it looked at Star Splendor and said, "Star Splendor, there is no Apostle in the Marsh East Circle who can best you in looks. Your looks are a part of your capabilities. But such a capability is nothing more than an adornment. It can't become your rock to rely on.

"I have been courting you for more than 800 years partly because of your looks and aura but also because of the talent I see in you. With your talent, you are the most likely among us to break through to become a Dictator. So I hope you will have a good think about whether you want to continue staying here to enjoy the rest of the fading prosperity or go back to basics to carve out a new path!"

After it was done speaking, East Glow did not wait for Star Splendor's reaction but left the meeting hall immediately.

It left the interior of the palace to go and take a look at the carnivorous plants being nurtured outside. Each of these carnivorous plants produced fruits of different types. They were tasted, and East Glow often plucked one or two to taste after a meeting.

East Glow's gaze fell on the carnivorous plants again. But instead of plucking the fruits, East Glow thought, The small source fruits given by Dictator Ten Thousand Source contain pure source-type power. My talent is limited. I will only be able to take a step further if I use pure source-type power to change my talent.

East Glow was unsure if it would be able to become Dictator Ten Thousand Source's follower. But even if Dictator Ten Thousand Source did not acknowledge it, it hoped that it could do all it could to trade for a few small source berries.

Before East Glow entered Marsh East Palace, it had traveled through the other five major marsh circles, as well as Marsh Abyss. However, it had never heard of any fruit that could increase source-type power.

East Glow was not strong, but this did not prevent it from gaining more knowledge.

Not even in Marsh Abyss had East Glow heard of any fruit that could increase source-type power after being consumed.

The news of Dictator Ten Thousand Source's small source fruits would definitely spread rapidly throughout the six major marsh circles until word finally got to Marsh Abyss.

If it could stay by the side of such a powerful figure, its life would become turbulent and magnificent. That was the kind of life that it wanted!

Lin Yuan knew that after nurturing the Deposit Ability Litchi Branches and calling them small source fruit when he distributed them, word about them would soon spread far and wide.

But he did not expect that the pure source-type power in the marsh world came solely from Dictators and that it was also extremely precious to Dictators.

There had never been any fruits in the marsh world that provided pure source-type power after they were eaten.

The small source fruits crushed the system of the marsh world and even challenged the authority of all the Dictators.

Unlike in the human world, there were no special messaging methods in the marsh world. Thus, news of Lin Yuan's name being Dictator Ten Thousand Source and the small source berries traveled very slowly. Until now, word had not gotten past the Marsh East Circle.

But there was still some time before the Banquet of Everything began, and the Banquet of Everything lasted for a full two weeks.

That period of time was long enough for the news of Dictator Ten Thousand Source and the small source fruits to reach Marsh Abyss.

It could be said that Lin Yuan's actions had started a storm in the marsh world after its extended period of peace.

Regardless of whether it was the name that Lin Yuan had come up with, the Deposit Ability Litchi Branches known as small source fruits, or the Storing Ability White Peaches, which were about to be known as the big source fruit, all of them would kick up astonishing waves that drew powerful Apostles to the Marsh East Palace.

The powerful Dictators would find it worth it to make the trip, whether it was to cause trouble for Lin Yuan or to obtain the small source fruits by trading with him.

Lin Yuan was not intentionally hiding his identity.

There was no need to pretend to be an Apostle to carry out trading.

If he appeared too weak while possessing a treasure like the small source fruits, he would come up against some trouble while he was trading.

Thus, when he arrived at the entrance of Marsh East Palace and faced the guard Apostles, he decided to announce his fake identity.

Lin Yuan turned and shot a look at White Speak. There was no need for Lin Yuan to speak directly to these Apostles outside of Marsh East Palace.

White Speak said loudly and arrogantly, "Who is currently in charge of Marsh East Palace? Dictator Ten Thousand Source is here. Why are there no greeters or ushers?"

The Apostles looked displeased when they heard the first half of what White Speak said.

An Apostle with just higher average faith power dared to speak so haughtily at the entrance of Marsh East Palace? It dared to ask for the current overseer of the Marsh East Palace?

Although there were no Dictators in the Marsh East Palace, all of the veteran Apostles who were present had reached the peak of Apostle.

Before the guards could form their frowns fully, the latter part of what White Speak said caused the guards' eyes to widen until they were as large as saucers.
