Fey Evolution Merchant-Chapter 2832 - Master of the Lonely River!

Chapter 2832 Master of the Lonely River!
It was precisely because of this that the Dark Pufferfish attempted to corner the Bloodians and acquire a significant amount of resources from them.

However, it was also easy to take control of the Shadow-Hunting Stingrays, who were akin to water assassins.

Winter was much more decisive than Autumn when it came to execution.

Winter had already eliminated the disobedient members of the three species.

If he brought the disobedient members to Lin Yuan, it would be an insult to Lin Yuan, and it was unlikely that the rebellious members could be straightened out using martial force.

Lin Yuan would not be focusing on the Lonely River.

Winter did not want the three species he took in to cause problems in the future and lead Lin Yuan to think that he was incompetent.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were all Lin Yuan’s followers and had spent many epochs together. Before they found him, they had been each other’s closest companions. But after finding him, their relationship changed from that of companions to rivals who competed for Lin Yuan’s favor.

Winter did not want Lin Yuan to stop relying on him!

The Dark Pufferfish’s leader, Ink Thorn, Mantis Stone Crab’s leader, Mantis Age, Hidden Fog Turtle leader, Booming Fog, and Shadow-Hunting Stingray’s leader, Hunting Tracks, were old friends.

The four species had sparred and collaborated countless times during their time living in the Lonely River. They had schemed against each other in the past.

This especially applied to Mantis Age and Booming Fog. In a few tens of thousands of years, the two sides became bitter enemies.

The Hidden Fog Turtle, Mantis Stone Crab, and Shadow-Hunting Stingray’s leaders were all in shock and disbelief. They remained frozen with astonishment up to the point that Winter brought them to Lin Yuan.

But in spite of their shock, the three of them were well aware that this black-haired and black-eyed young man was not someone they could fight back against. The species members who had tried to rebel had all paid horrible prices!

This price could not be afforded by Mantis Age, Booming Fog, and Hunting Tracks.

If many of their members died, their combat power would fall by at least 1/5. This would undoubtedly affect their future development.

In the face of such an overwhelmingly powerful faction, the three of them did not mind allowing this faction to take control of their species.

Many of the species on the East Universe’s Species Ranking were supported by factions.

However, the three of them were still unsure of the kind of person that Lin Yuan was.

But regardless of Lin Yuan’s character and whether he was going to treat the Lonely River’s Four Species Overlords as toys, they would definitely be leading their members in dedicating their faith to his Faith Tree.

Clearly, Ink Thorn had led the Dark Pufferfish to become loyal to this young man.

The three of them turned their gazes to Ink Thorn to try and discern something from his expression.

This black-haired and black-eyed young man had two experts under him with immeasurable power. With such power, they need not come up with any ways to scheme and take down the Dark Pufferfish!

Hence, it was likely that the Dark Pufferfish fell under this young man’s control one by one.

Having lost his freedom, Ink Thorn should be downcast.

However, Mantis Age and the rest could not see any solemness on Ink Thorn’s face. Rather, he looked shocked and even happy.

This emotion should not be present on his face now!

At that moment, the three of them heard Lin Yuan say, “Ink Thorn, you should be familiar with the three of them. Explain to them clearly what I just told you!”

Ink Thorn was surprised to hear Lin Yuan’s instruction.

Ink Thorn felt as though he had gotten close to Lin Yuan, and the latter was now relying on him. This was an amazing feeling!

Ink Thorn hoped to become Lin Yuan’s point of contact in the Lonely River.

However, he knew that Lin Yuan wanted power in the Lonely River to be shared equally and would not give him such an opportunity.

There were many times when being prepared was not enough to receive opportunities.

He and the rest were insignificant in the eyes of this young man. It was unlikely they would even have the opportunity to interact with Lin Yuan’s two servants.

Ink Thorn had guessed Lin Yuan’s thoughts exactly.

Lin Yuan used martial force to compel the four major species in the Lonely River to become loyal to him. He did not believe that the four species who had been forced to give up their faith to him would be willing to work wholeheartedly for his sake.
In the entire Sky City, Bei Xu needed the most training. He lacked an avenue from which he could receive training.

The Lonely River would be the best place for Bei Xu to train!

With the Lonely River’s Four Species Overlords under his control, there was nothing that could pose a danger to Bei Xu in the Lonely River.

By having Bei Xu manage the Lonely River, it would be able to develop rapidly.

Otherwise, as time went on and Bei Xu lagged further and further behind the other members of Sky City, he would sink deeper into self-doubt!

Lin Yuan could already clearly sense that the pressure was causing Bei Xu to lose his usual talkative liveliness.

While Bei Xu was managing the Lonely River, Lin Yuan would send Endless Summer to support Bei Xu for some time.

Endless Summer had come to Lin Yuan and told him that she wanted to work with Listen on resource allocation-related tasks in the future.

Lin Yuan agreed with Endless Summer’s future plan for Listen. That was where her talents lay.

However, they had only just arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds and decided on a territory. They had yet to build channels for trade. Listen and Endless Summer did not currently have anything to do.

But neither Endless Summer nor Listen could sit still and be idle.

After helping Lin Yuan to take over the King Blood Jackals’ territory, Listen would manage the resources in the King Blood Jackals’ territory.

Endless Summer could also help Lin Yuan to organize the resources in the Lonely River while she was supporting Bei Xu. She would then be able to distribute the Lonely River’s resources.

From then on, the Lonely River would become the moat of Sky City’s territory.

Ink Thorn told Mantis Age, Hunting Tracks, and Booming Fog about Lin Yuan’s requests and rewards.

Once the three of them heard these, they felt exactly the same way that Ink Thorn did. They were floored.

The three of them had not expected Lin Yuan to give such an abundance of resources as rewards to the species he had only recently taken control of.

It was clear that their existence did not matter much to Lin Yuan. Yet, he was willing to give them such impressive resources. This just meant that Lin Yuan possessed a quantity of resources beyond their imaginations!

Their species would only be able to walk toward brighter futures by following such a person.

…

By the time Lin Yuan left the Lonely River, his Faith Tree was already 3,000 meters tall. He could sense that it was currently supplying him with an endless stream of faith. Although it was not a large quantity, it was sufficiently pure.

The Faith Tree was able to increase the purity of faith power. But it was this reason that made it come across as useless.

How could lifeforms that obtained the Faith Tree be as capable as Lin Yuan when it came to taking control of other lifeforms?

The Lonely River had a new ruler now.

The Four Species Overlords would continue to compete among themselves, but they now had a common master.

It could be said that the Lonely River had fully entered a new era.

When Fan Lou followed Lin Yuan around, he had almost no chance to speak. However, as an observer, Fan Lou had a clearer understanding of Lin Yuan’s process of taking over the Lonely River.

The Dark Pufferfish were not the only ones under Lin Yuan’s control. The other three overlord species, just as powerful as the Dark Pufferfish, had also become Lin Yuan’s servants!

This revelation gave Fan Lou a completely new understanding of Lin Yuan’s power.

Lin Yuan had not employed any schemes to take control of the three species.

Winter had just made a suggestion that Lin Yuan happened to find feasible. Soon after, the three species were all subdued.

His mission was successfully accomplished. All this was done almost unknowingly.

The Forbidden Wolf Team and Light Wind Wolves on the Abyssal Beast’s back were completely unaware of this.

Later, all he needed to do was work with the Dark Pufferfish and put on a show in front of Feng Nuo.

Even if Lin Yuan did not issue orders to the Dark Pufferfish, they would undoubtedly be willing to cooperate with him because he had come with Lin Yuan.

Fan Luo had been standing by Lin Yuan’s side all this time. It was clear that he was much closer to Lin Yuan than they were!

Lin Yuan stood on the shore of the Lonely River, a river of emotions washing over him.

Luckily, he was the reincarnation of the Saint and had Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter following him. Otherwise, after defeating Tower Canon and somehow escaping Crimson’s assassination attempt, he would be severely injured and might not have time to recover before facing an invasion from the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

By that time, Lin Yuan had already possessed World Emperor/Divine Kingdom power.

With his few World Emperor/Divine Kingdom feys, even if he had managed to defeat Fan Lou, he would never have managed to emerge victorious over an expert of Kong Huan’s level.

At that point, he would not have been the one taking control of Kong Huan but would have instead ended up in the palm of her hand!

Lin Yuan felt it was unlikely that Kong Huan would have killed him. Rather, she would have taken him to the Sky Beyond the Clouds and kept him as a pet.

Hence, fate was a marvelous thing.

But even if Kong Huan had captured him, Lin Yuan would never reveal his secrets. He would bide his time and grow before attempting to fight back against Kong Huan.

However, he would not be able to protect himself in such a situation, much less safeguard the world.

Lin Yuan found it difficult to imagine what would become of the main world then.

Kong Huan was docile and humble in front of Lin Yuan because he possessed the pinnacle Alluring Soul bloodline and had control over her divine kingdom.

In truth, Kong Huan was extremely selfish and violent.

Almost none of her subordinates could vouch for her with words of positivity.

If Lin Yuan had not coincidentally taken control of Fan Lou, the latter would also have been killed by Kong Huan.

In this colossal world, fate was sewn into every passing second and minute.

Lin Yuan really liked this feeling of living on the edge of the knife.

“Fan Lou, go back. When you’re trading for the poison with the Dark Pufferfish, you can take another 500,000 Honor Absent dollars from them. Tell Ink Thorn that I’m the one telling him to pay you. He won’t hold back.”

Honor Absent dollars were the currency used in the East Universe. It was produced and distributed by Honor Absent Palace.

However, given that various resources had undeterminable values, resources were usually used for bartering. Alternatively, spirit qi or faith power of a certain power were used. After all, one spiritual ingredient held different values for different species.

Nonetheless, Honor Absent dollars could indeed be used for purchasing goods. They could be used to buy various rare resources directly from Honor Absent Palace!

Lin Yuan had given Fan Lou sufficient rewards.

As the captain of the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team, Fan Lou was normally paid less than 700,000 Honor Absent dollars a year. One reward from Lin Yuan was already worth six months of his annual compensation.

The key point was that Fan Lou had not even done that much. All that he had done for Lin Yuan had also been for his benefit.

Fan Lou seriously knelt in front of Lin Yuan with his hands clasped together into fists as he said, “Lord, thank you for your generous reward! I will do my best to carry out all the tasks you give me! Do you have any other instructions for me?”

Lin Yuan said seriously, “Next, I need you to pay attention to the Bloodians’ movements. Observe how they plan on attacking the mermaids, then report what you find to me. It’ll be best if you use the paper I gave you. But if you can’t, you can continue communicating with me through that jade crystal. Remember that the Bloodians’ activities are very important to me.”

Lin Yuan was not paying attention to the conflict between the Bloodians and mermaids because he pitied the mermaids. He was concerned that the Bloodians’ declaration of war would cause the mermaids to vanish from the East Universe. If that happened, he would not be able to use the mermaids to nurture Dark Blue and increase its power.

Lin Yuan needed to think for the sake of his feys!

Additionally, Lin Yuan sensed the benefits of the Bloodian bloodline.

Apart from using spirit qi, the best method was to absorb the high-grade bloodlines of the same species.

Lin Yuan needed to make contact with the Bloodians.

While he did this, he would continuously obtain the high-grade Bloodian bloodlines to strengthen his own bloodline and combat power of his body.

Fan Lou felt immense pressure on his shoulders when he heard Lin Yuan’s instructions.

He was favored by Feng Qing and did not have any links to the Bloodians. The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves stood between him and the Bloodians.

There were many species, like the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, who were working with the Bloodians. The latter were only considered upper-middle of the group.

It was impossible for him to go over the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ heads to communicate with the Bloodians.

Even if he became ten times more outstanding than he was now, he would never catch the eye of the Bloodians.

Feng Qing would never have agreed if he had encouraged him to approach the Bloodians for more information. Instead, Feng Qing would become repulsed by him and think that he had ulterior motives!

He was completely reliant on Feng Qing in the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

But since Lin Yuan had spoken, he could not say that he could not achieve it!

While Fan Lou was struggling, Lin Yuan added, “I understand your concerns. Since this is something I’m assigning to you, I won’t make it too difficult for you. The Dark Pufferfish will take the initiative to create an opportunity for you to make contact with the Bloodians!”
