"Lord, I will definitely grab this opportunity that you have given me and ensure that you are able to feel my sincerity!"
Lin Yuan kicked out, and a rock was sent flying to Sweet Vanquish's face. He asked seemingly nonchalantly, "Given that you're a Samsara Realm Dictator, why aren't you staying in the Earth Ancestral Palace but roaming around the four major mine districts instead? I want you to briefly introduce the subterranean world's situation to me. Don't leave out any details!"
After hearing what Sweet Vanquish said, Lin Yuan understood one thing, which was that he had a certain level of understanding of the subterranean world. He even knew that the Samsara Realm Dictators usually remained in the Earth Ancestral Palace.
Sweet Vanquish never had any intention to lie to Lin Yuan and had been prepared to tell him everything. This was because he did not want to fall into Blue Umber, Red Beauty, and the other marsh Dictator's hands.
However, Lin Yuan's words added significant pressure onto Sweet Vanquish's shoulders.Sweet Vanquish was not afraid of Lin Yuan knowing much about the subterranean world but that he was operating under the wrong impression. What would he do if Lin Yuan did not trust him even after he had given the truth?
Sweet Vanquish said gingerly, "Lord Lin Yuan, I can swear on my source totem and my family's 3,674 generations that every word I say is the truth! If what I say and the information you have been given end up clashing, I hope you will believe me instead of the person who had previously informed you of the marsh world's happenings!"
Lin Yuan nodded, and Sweet Vanquish relaxed.
As a Land Imp, Sweet Vanquish was skilled at telling stories.
Sweet Vanquish intended to answer Lin Yuan's question before launching into his description of the subterranean world.
"Lord, the Samsara Realm Dictators do usually remain in the Earth Ancestral Palace, but my situation is slightly special. I would also like to remain in the Earth Ancestral Palace, but it can't take me in!
"The Earth Ancestral Palace is currently led by three pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators named Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow. The other five Samsara Realm Dictators in the Earth Ancestral Palace do not actually have equal standing with the other three. They are actually attendants in the palace."I used to be Hollow Earth's attendant. Each time my power grew, he would force me to offer source-type power to suppress the increment of my power. I couldn't take his bullying anymore and fled from the Earth Ancestral Palace.
"A thousand or so years have passed since I fled from Earth Ancestral Palace! I don't have any information on what has happened in the Earth Ancestral Palace during this time. There are a few other Samsara Realm Dictators like me who aren't part of the Earth Ancestral Palace. Like me, they don't want to lose the opportunity to increase their power.
"After roaming the four major mine districts for all these years, I have nurtured a group of my own subordinates. It will be difficult for Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow to catch us even if they wanted to. Moreover, even if they try to take us on with force, the three of them will very likely end up injured as well.
"Although all three of them are the decision-makers in the Earth Ancestral Palace, they are actually always locked in intense competition with each other. With myself included, I know of a total of four Samsara Realm Dictators who are free agents. All four of us reside in the same mine district and set up a casual group. We will share information with each other periodically.
"I can help you to find them if that is what you wish! If they catch wind of any news that threatens their safety, they will go into hiding. If that happens, it will be very difficult for you to seek them out!"
In a bid to leave a positive impression on Lin Yuan, Sweet Vanquish had already started selling out his comrades.
The way that Blue Umber, Red Beauty, and the other Samsara Realm Dictator were looking at Sweet Vanquish suddenly changed.
Not only was Sweet Vanquish undignified, but he also lacked principles.
Without these three free-roaming Dictators who took on the Earth Ancestral Palace with him, Sweet Vanquish would not have been able to survive being cornered by the Earth Ancestral Palace's Samsara Realm Dictators.
Hollow Earth had to bear deep resentment toward Sweet Vanquish for betraying him.
If Hollow Earth was willing to share the resources after killing Sweet Vanquish, Mountain Furrow and Rock Underworld would definitely be willing to help him.
The other three group members were still waiting for Sweet Vanquish to play his part and help out.
Yet, Sweet Vanquish had betrayed them in order to get into Lin Yuan's good books.
But if Sweet Vanquish could gather the other three Samsara Realm Dictators together and help them become Lin Yuan's subordinates as well, this would not be a bad result for the three of them. In fact, it would be a positive result.
Lin Yuan would eventually conquer every Dictator from the dimensional worlds. He would be at the center of all the dimensional worlds and create a new dimension.
Previously, those from the same dimensional worlds competed against each other. But now, Dictators from different dimensional worlds gathered and competed against each other. The only goal of their competition was to gain as much of Lin Yuan's recognition as possible.
Sweet Vanquish's actions helped Lin Yuan, and he would definitely make a note of this for the future.
Lin Yuan gave Sweet Vanquish an approving look before tossing two earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to him.
As Sweet Vanquish held the earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls and sensed the pure earth-elemental energy within, his eyes bulged out of their sockets.
He had managed to receive a reward for such a trivial accomplishment. This meant that this humanoid lifeform in front of him, who was about to take control of his life, had a very generous nature.
Given that he had tossed a treasure with such significant benefits so casually, it meant that he had to possess copious amounts of this resource.
Sweet Vanquish knew that he would receive even more in the future if he continued to perform.
If he was able to absorb such pure earth-elemental energy for a prolonged period, it was only an eventuality that his power would increase.
Sweet Vanquish's greatest dream was to become even stronger than Hollow Earth.
Then, he would break Hollow Earth's knees and press his head down to use him as a light. He would make him kneel for 50 years straight.
After answering Lin Yuan's question, Sweet Vanquish continued telling Lin Yuan about the subterranean world's circumstances.
Much of what he said had not been mentioned by Stone Toughness, Vibrating Gold, and Earth Rock. However, this new information would not be of much help in enabling Lin Yuan to take over the subterranean world.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to instruct Sweet Vanquish to get in contact with the other three free-roaming Samsara Realm Dictators, Sweet Vanquish said in a hushed tone, "Lord, Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow guard the Earth Ancestral Palace extremely fiercely. Despite no longer being part of the Earth Ancestral Palace, we still don't have complete freedom.
"However, I am sure that the Earth Ancestral Palace is hiding something. While I was still serving as Hollow Earth's attendant, I once heard him mention something called the Ten Thousand River Rock Willow."
