Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2461

Eternal Source's body had changed significantly from before.

Previously, when he activated his dictator's body, there were holes in his chest even when he was in human form. These holes represented his status as a dimensional lifeform.

Lin Yuan never revealed any holes throughout his body. Thus, all the dimensional lifeforms he encountered assumed that he was hiding his holes under his clothes.

The clothes that Eternal Source usually wore also covered the holes on his chest.

But now that he had evolved, the amber light from the source totem covered all the important parts of his body, and he had no clothes on him.

The light that was transformed from the source totem slowly took on the form of clothes and accessories that draped over Eternal Source's body.

All along, his eyes had been closed. But now, he seemed to be slowly waking up.

Besides the holes that had disappeared from his chest, the source totem was no longer restricted to one position on his body but had fused with his flesh. He could unleash the might of his source totem through any part of his flesh.

The aura from Eternal Source's body suppressed all the other Dictators who were present. All the other Dictators shivered when they sensed this aura.

Now, Eternal Source could end their lives whenever he pleased.

At that moment, Eternal Source opened his eyes.

The first sight he laid his eyes on was Lin Yuan, and he bowed to him. He was even more respectful and submissive toward Lin Yuan than usual. No one else knew how much Lin Yuan had done for him, but as the receiver, Eternal Source was well aware.

Lin Yuan had given him 500,000-600,000 units of source-type power to support him. Without Lin Yuan, he would not have been able to scrounge up 500,000 units of source-type power on his own to enable his own breakthrough, even if he burnt up his source totem and the energy in his flesh.

At first, Eternal Source had been slightly resentful because of Lin Yuan's control over him. But now, all of that resentment had disappeared.

From now on, if anyone dared to target Lin Yuan, Eternal Source would safeguard Lin Yuan's benefits and protect him even if Lin Yuan was no longer in control of him.

When Eternal Source broke through to the Samsara Realm, Vine Source, Hornless Dragon Source, Evil Source, Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, Red Beauty, and the other Samsara Realm Dictators all had different thoughts flying through their minds.

Mist Source had been happy for Eternal Source, but Vine Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and the rest were all wondering if Eternal Source would manage to escape Lin Yuan's control after his breakthrough and if he would be able to take on Lin Yuan after escaping his control.

In the scenario Eternal Source attacked Lin Yuan, what were the rest of them supposed to do? They were still under Lin Yuan's control, so they would have no choice but to side with him and follow his orders to fight Eternal Source as their enemy. Would Eternal Source be willing to kill them?

Lin Yuan was a mermaid thearch. Although he had not used the water world's treasure to take full control of Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, Red Beauty, and the other emperor-class mermaids, their bloodline was enough for them to feel genuine respect and admiration for him.

Dazzling Silver, Red Beauty, Light Green Umber, and the rest would side with him and take his standpoint into consideration. All of them would enter combat mode and be ready to help him.

They only relaxed when they saw Eternal Source's attitude toward Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan reached out to the bowing Eternal Source and asked, "How much stronger are you compared to before?"

Eternal Source became solemn when he heard Lin Yuan's question.

Eternal Source did not have an answer for exactly how strong he was now.

If he fought with Light Green Umber, Dazzling Silver, and the others who used to be of similar power to him, he would be able to flick them away with ease.

Now that he had reached a higher level, the foundation of his power had also changed.

He looked at the seal between the first level and second level of the abyssal world before saying, "Lord Lin Yuan, I will be able to break the seal with one punch! Samsara Realm Dictators who have not crossed that boundary will be no match for me! It won't work even if they try to overwhelm me with numbers. The level I've reached can be called the afterlife."

Eternal Source had created history for the dimensional worlds.

Since Eternal Source said that the level could be called the 'afterlife', the level after the Samsara Realm would be called the Afterlife Realm from now on.

Lin Yuan intended to instruct Eternal Source to release his aura in front of Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean when they returned so they could judge if First Page Crimson or Eternal Source was stronger.

Even if Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean could not be certain who was stronger, they could at least tell from the auras if Eternal Source and First Page Crimson were on the same level.

This would allow Lin Yuan to determine exactly how powerful his enemy was.

He hoped that the aura that First Page Crimson had released was not more powerful than that of Eternal Source.

"Eternal Source, go ahead and break the seal. Let's take a look at the first level of the abyssal world."

Eternal Source gathered all the power from his source totem into his fist. As a result, his fist turned gold and green.

Eternal Source swung his fist at the seal and shattered it with a blast.

Now that Eternal Source's power had reached a new level, Samsara Realm Dictators were of no threat to him, regardless of how many there were.

Thus, Lin Yuan only brought Eternal Source with him into the first level of the abyssal world and instructed the others to wait on the other side.

This was because the first level might very well contain one of the dimensional world's foundational secrets. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Furthermore, there were definitely powerful lifeforms living on the first level.

The seal between the first level and second level was not to prevent lifeforms from the second to 18th level from entering but to keep the lifeforms from the first level from leaving.

Lin Yuan had been communicating with Shadow, who had been to the 18th level of the abyssal world in the past. It had been captured and forced to do hard labor.

One of the Apostles under a Dictator had deemed Shadow as too skinny and weak and decided that Shadow could not be of much help in terms of manual labor. Thus, Shadow had been chased away, and it finally managed to flee after much hardship.

Hence, Shadow had a good grasp of the temperature of every level of the abyssal world.

Shadow had said with certainty that the temperature of the first level was much higher than that of the 18th level.

Lin Yuan did not want to lose his Samsara Realm Dictator subordinates now that he could be facing an attack from Tower Canon any day.

But regardless of how strong the lifeforms on the first level were, there was no way they could be stronger than Eternal Source was now. If they were, they would not have been stuck in the first level instead of breaking through the seal and escaping!

Eternal Source entered the rift and made sure there was no danger around before Lin Yuan stepped in.

Lin Yuan was surrounded by Eternal Source's aura from the second he stepped foot into the first level of the abyssal world.
