Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2399

Ink Ocean paused, then added, "My Lord, if you wish to attempt breaking the seal on the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, you will need to find an expert who can control electrical energy."

The Deep Chasm Sea Eye, New Thearch's Scale, and the mermaid thearch-class bloodline—these were all pieces of information that Lin Yuan had gained in a short span of time.

Suddenly, he recalled the half-corpse stored in the treasure vault of the two rulers.

Upon consuming the half-corpse, Green Vine's vines gained electricity-related abilities.

It all seemed too coincidental for Lin Yuan to ignore.

Could it be that the electrical abilities of the two rulers were connected to that half-corpse?

At present, Lin Yuan had no connections with experts who possessed electrical powers.

While Extreme Ocean's energy was related to electricity, he was clearly not suitable for the task. Otherwise, the emperor-class experts from Mermaid Forbidden Sea would have sought his help instead of approaching the two rulers.

Although Green Vine's control over electrical energy was formidable, it was not enough to defeat a regular Dictator.

However, Lin Yuan realized that he could instruct Green Vine to use the Entire Body Medium to recreate the image of the half-corpse when it was alive.

While this would eventually cause the half-corpse to disappear, Lin Yuan believed it would be worth it if it meant obtaining the New Thearch's Scale and awakening the mermaid thearch-class bloodline.

The mermaids held their bloodline in the highest regard.

Lin Yuan believed that once his bloodline reached thearch-class, it would be easier for him to establish control over Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

Approaching the emperor-class mermaids as an emperor-class mermaid himself might lower their guard, but he had to be wary of any potential plots against him.

There was no way that the emperor-class mermaids from Mermaid Forbidden Sea would not investigate and study him, a mermaid with the mermaid emperor bloodline who had appeared out of nowhere.

But regardless, it should still be feasible for an emperor-class mermaid to gain access to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

Lin Yuan would be able to jump into action once he made contact with the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

Lin Yuan already had a clear plan for Mermaid Forbidden Sea. First, he was going to learn of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye's location from the other mermaid emperors. Then, he was going to enter it to gain the New Thearch's Scale.

Legends were still just that. Regardless of how certain Ink Ocean was, Lin Yuan could not be certain that the legend was true.

Nonetheless, he had to give it a try. Otherwise, there was no way that the emperor-class mermaids from Mermaid Forbidden Sea would hand over the Endless Gem to him.

Lin Yuan did not want to have a major clash with the mermaid emperors.

Besides the fact that he felt affection toward mermaids due to the bloodline in his body, Luna had mentioned that there were more than ten Samsara Realm Dictators in Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

This was less than the number of Samsara Realm Dictators Lin Yuan possessed, but the number did not differ by much.

Mermaid Forbidden Sea had been recharging themselves all these years, and it was possible that Luna was unaware of some new secret weapons.

The Dictators from the marsh world were disadvantaged in an underwater battle.

As he possessed the mermaid bloodline, Lin Yuan was aware of how much of an advantage it had during underwater battles.

He could always use faith power to boost all the Samsara Realm Dictators, but using force to take control of Mermaid Forbidden Sea would come at great cost as he would lose a significant amount of combat power.

This clearly did not align with Lin Yuan's goal.

Thus, he decided to use his intelligence to conquer Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

Extreme Ocean coughed a few times after Ink Ocean was done speaking, as he knew he was the only one present with electricity-related abilities. It was likely that Lin Yuan would make use of him in order to unlock the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

Ink Ocean had answered Lin Yuan's question honestly without thinking too deeply into the matter.

When Ink Ocean heard Extreme Ocean's cough, he immediately understood what Extreme Ocean meant.

The words 'stupid fish' almost slipped past Ink Ocean's lips. How stupid did he have to be to step forward at such a time?

Lin Yuan had already seen through all four of them, but they did not know the depths of his power.

By reacting in such a way now, Extreme Ocean would definitely bring out a negative response from Lin Yuan.

They had not been with Lin Yuan for long and were considered rookies.

Rookies were no different from tools that were only remembered by their master when they were needed. There was no need for tools to promote themselves. If they really wanted to promote themselves, it would be better for them to speak openly.

Trying tricks like this made him seem manipulative.

Lin Yuan's thoughts were interrupted by Extreme Ocean's coughs.

Lin Yuan looked sideways at Extreme Ocean and saw the latter staring at him.

Lin Yuan immediately understood Extreme Ocean's intention, and his lips twitched.

Extreme Ocean had almost led to his own downfall because of his lack of understanding of Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean's circumstances. It could also be said that Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean had done too good a job of hiding themselves, and it was not Extreme Ocean who had been careless.

Lin Yuan did not intend to fault Extreme Ocean for this.

However, Extreme Ocean's error had indeed caused trouble for Vine Source. Yet, Extreme Ocean had not tried to compensate Extreme Ocean in any way. Rather, he even tried to kick Vine Source while he was down after Vine Source had been punished.

After conquering the marsh world and gaining control over more than ten Samsara Realm Dictators, Lin Yuan understood that not every Samsara Realm Dictator could handle large responsibilities and could only serve as a decent fighter.

Lin Yuan found that the only potential in the marsh world came from Eternal Source.

This was not because Lin Yuan had high expectations but because every individual trying to climb the ladder of power in the world would only care about their own profits.

There were many Dictators who toyed with their subordinates according to their moods.

At the time that the Abundance Treasure Tree took control of Evil Source, the number of subordinates he had was less than 10% of the number he had killed over the past thousands of years.

If Lin Yuan chose someone like Evil Source to lead, he would eventually slash away at his subordinates and diminish his power.

After Lin Yuan learned this, he no longer held Samsara Realm Dictators in as high of a regard as he used to when he came to the water world.

Extreme Ocean coughed again as though he was trying to give Lin Yuan a reminder.

Lin Yuan immediately answered, "It looks like Extreme Ocean's hidden injury isn't fully healed. So, he shall remain in Grace Sacred Hall this time to guard the area!"

Lin Yuan turned to look at Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and Ancient Ocean before he continued. "All of you have expressed your wishes to head to other worlds. I am now giving you the chance to do so. It is the world where Eternal Source, Vine Source, and the rest came from."

Extreme Ocean's expression immediately turned to panic.
