Fey Evolution Merchant



A look of desire came over Luna's face, and she said in a hopeful tone, "Since you've been in seclusion for thousands of years, you probably haven't seen the tome that came out from the relic.

"It's said that there is a major secret about us mermaids hidden in the tome! Empress Brilliant Gold gave the order to seal away the tome, so I'm not sure what the secret is about. But it must be related to the mermaid bloodline! If you manage to successfully enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, you might discover this secret!"

Lin Yuan started to ponder deeply after he heard what Luna said.

None of the mermaids from the water world had attained the thearch-class bloodline.

However, Lin Yuan believed that the thearch-class bloodline was not the ceiling of the mermaid bloodline.

This was because Dark Blue's bloodline had reached pinnacle emperor-class before it even evolved to Myth Breed.

This had to be related to pure spirit qi and elemental energy, but also because Dark Blue's power had been increasing continuously.

Once Dark Blue evolved to Creation Breed, Immortal Breed, and Eternal Breed, its bloodline would continue advancing past thearch-class.

As such, it seemed that mermaids were not originally born in the dimensional worlds. Lin Yuan had reason to suspect that they came from a world outside of the water world.

However, why did the strongest lifeform in the water world need to head into the Deep Chasm Sea Eye to search for the mermaids' origins?

The skunk-like lifeform, possessing electrical abilities, which the two rulers had discovered, was likely brought to this world along with the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. It was believed to be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

However, this was all speculation on Lin Yuan's part and had not been verified with evidence.

Lin Yuan fixed his penetrating gaze on Luna and said seriously, "Luna, when it comes to the origins of mermaids, do you have any guesses or opinions about it?"

Luna excitedly asked, "Lord Emperor, do you know something or have any guesses?"

Luna's question made Lin Yuan realize that she had formed her own thoughts about the mermaid bloodline. Otherwise, she would not have reacted so strongly to his question.

Immediately after asking her question, Luna realized that she had been too impulsive!

Lin Yuan was an emperor-class merman. Even if he did have any thoughts, he would not be obligated to tell her about them.

However, Luna still found it difficult to suppress her curiosity.

1,000 years ago, mermaids had been full of questions about their bloodline. At first, they did not think much about their guesses.

That was until Brilliant Gold's bloodline reached pinnacle emperor-class.

Brilliant Gold had openly voiced her suspicions when she went to invite the other emperor-class mermaids to head to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye with her. This was what had ignited the mermaids' passion to investigate their bloodline.

As a result, many discussions and debates arose surrounding the origins of the mermaid bloodline, becoming a motivator for their efforts.

Luna was a fierce supporter of this endeavor and thus saw Brilliant Gold as her idol.

However, what happened next destroyed the image of Brilliant Gold that Luna held.

This was not because Brilliant Gold had failed. It was very normal to fail in pursuing and improving one's bloodline. However, Brilliant Gold had renounced her ideas after her failure and even prohibited all the mermaids from further studying their bloodline.

Brilliant Gold's actions had sealed off the entrance to the path she had not managed to fully walk down. As a result, no one else could make further attempts in the future.

This did not align with Luna's principles.

Luna still worshipped Brilliant Gold for the emperor-class mermaid she was. However, she no longer saw her as her idol.

He also lost the praise of many king-class mermaids.

Brilliant Gold's failure and change in ideology had caused many mermaids to lose their motivation.

Otherwise, once the mermaid experts recovered most of their power, there would have been suggestions from king-class mermaids to attack Grace Sacred Hall. Things would not have come to a halt like they were now.

The lull in activity gave the impression of peace but was actually chipping away at the will of the mermaids.

If it had not been the emperor-class merman Lin Yuan who brought up the topic and guesses and opinions but another king-class mermaid, Luna would have already lunged at the king-class mermaid with deadly intentions in order to carry out the order from Brilliant Gold.

At that moment, Lin Yuan had no clue that Luna, who he had only met twice before, now saw him as the glimmer of hope that would lead the mermaids to uncover the origins of their bloodline.

If Lin Yuan knew what Luna was thinking, he would be shocked. But at the same time, he would think that Luna had placed her hopes in the wrong person.

It was true that he wanted to study the mermaid's unknown bloodline. He did this not for the sake of the mermaid clan but for himself.

Since the mermaids were searching for a leader, all he needed to do was become the leader they were hoping for.

Could he also win over the hearts of all the mermaids, even without a treasure similar to the Abundance Treasure Tree?

But in spite of what he was thinking, Lin Yuan would still do his best to obtain the second Endless Gem from the water world.

This was because it would not be enough to depend only on the bloodline to control a massive clan and an entire world. Doing so would open up the risk of being stabbed in the back.

According to the research from Scholars, there had also been instances in the elite society of alien insects where those with inferior bloodlines rebelled against those with more elite bloodlines. Given that alien insects were capable of doing so, there was no question that mermaids would as well.

As apologies spilled out from Luna, Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "The pursuit and study of one's bloodline is something that every intelligent species does. You don't have to apologize. I do indeed have my own thoughts about the origins of the mermaid bloodline. I don't think that the mermaid bloodline is native to the water world. There is a high chance that it arrived in the water world many years ago!"

Lin Yuan's guess left Luna speechless.

She also had her own guesses. However, they were not as brazen or unrealistic as his.

When Brilliant Gold first started making guesses about the mermaid bloodline's origins, she only mentioned that the ancestral ground of mermaids could be found within the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

Luna felt that Lin Yuan would not make such groundless guesses flippantly. He had to have his reasons.

"Lord Emperor, are there really other worlds?"

Lin Yuan did not bother with being secretive and said, "There are other worlds. According to the information I received, the half-corpse that the two rulers from Grace Sacred Hall picked up is from another world. There is no way that my information is false!"

Lin Yuan spoke with certainty and resolution. There was no way that Luna would not believe him.
