Fey Evolution Merchant

A butterfly with an exquisite form had two illusionary wings sprouting from its back.

The circle around this imposingly dependable figure also started to spin. It was as though something was about to happen.

But when she saw this, the woman with the cold expression but gentle eyes started to bow sincerely and chant softly. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes and landed on the white jade floor of the vast hall.

"The Totem God is finally about to evolve to the second form! It is now certain that Lord Saint has awoken!"

The woman's expression suddenly hardened.

"The eight ants from Tower Canon are probably going to wake up from their slumber soon as well. The cheek of them to wake up at the same time as Lord Saint! I hope the mortals from this Class 3 civilization won't impact Lord Saint. Otherwise, in spite of Lord Saint's order for Epoch God Palace not to affect the mortal world, we will have to step in to eliminate this Class 3 civilization!"

Suddenly, the kneeling woman froze.

She had been thinking about other things while praying to the Totem God! This was a grievous sin!

The woman hastily started slamming her head to the ground to make up for her sin, leaving large pools of crimson and gold blood splattered all over the white jade floor.

The crimson and gold blood glinted with inexplicable life and contained laws related to the cycle of four seasons.

The sun had already risen and set numerous times outside of the hall, but the woman had yet to stop trying to repay for her sin.

…

Sky City had been started by Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Wen Yu. The first one to join Lin Yuan was Liu Jie.

Liu Jie was Lin Yuan's retainer, but his presence had always been weaker than Wen Yu's.

Wen Yu was the manager of Sky City, while Liu Jie managed the white-clothed followers.

At first, Liu Jie was busy training the white-clothed followers. But eventually, the training reached a checkpoint and Liu Jie no longer had a role to fill. He became rather free.

Liu Jie did not want to become the mooch in Sky City, so he had been trying to improve himself in terms of his governance skills.

Wen Yu had been beside herself with work, so Liu Jie could not ask her to teach him when she was already this busy.

Luckily, Lin Yuan had taken Bai Qinghuan in so Liu Jie could learn from her.

Now, he could stand on his own two feet to a certain extent!

Ever since Wen Yu started managing the business related to the dimensional worlds, Liu Jie took over the governance side of Sky City.

At first, Liu Jie was very stressed. But he pulled himself up by the bootstraps, and after holding on for a month, he finally became accustomed to the job of managing Sky City. He also learned just how difficult Wen Yu's job had been.

After leaving the Midnight Palace and dealing with most of his tasks for Sky City, Liu Jie headed straight to Thick Soil City to help manage the Land Imps.

Ta Lei had been growing rapidly, but he was still too young. It was only with Su Yiren's help that he managed to secure his position as the City Lord of Thick Soil City.

Ta Lei was already strained by managing Thick Soil City's day-to-day affairs. He did not have the energy to manage the Land Imps as well.

Su Yiren was busy with the mountain of work required to manage two giant continents.

Even if Ta Lei wanted to ask her for help, he could not bring himself to do so. As such, he could only turn to Liu Jie.

Ta Lei could not have gone to Liu Jie for help and insisted on taking on the task himself.

After all, Luo Lan's people were helping to deliver the Land Imps, and they would definitely have the Land Imps under control. The leader of the Land Imps would not dare to step out of line.

However, Ta Lei was afraid of inconveniencing Lin Yuan.

Since he could not get in contact with Lin Yuan, he naturally got in contact with Liu Jie instead.

Ta Lei was much more familiar with Liu Jie than he was with Wen Yu. Lin Yuan had brought only Liu Jie with him when he went to the Startling Lines Continent to train.

Once he received confirmation that Liu Jie was coming to Thick Soil City to help, Ta Lei was finally able to relax.

Lin Yuan had left a special Diamond fey storage box with both Liu Jie and Wen Yu. Each of these Diamond fey storage boxes contained a large amount of Item-Storing Walnuts.

The Item-Storing Walnuts were meant to enable Liu Jie and Su Yiren to utilize the Space Tunnel in the basement of the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Although there were not enough Item-Storing Walnuts in the Diamond fey storage boxes to allow Liu Jie and Wen Yu to travel between the Radiance Federation and Grotto Continent, it was enough to allow them to travel between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent more than ten times.

…

By the time Liu Jie rushed to Thick Soil City, the first batch of Land Imps had arrived. Lin Yuan needed so many Land Imps they had to be sent in batches.

Lin Yuan had emphasized to Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow that a Samsara Realm Dictator had to lead each group of Land Imps.

In order to prevent the leading Samsara Realm Dictators from coming up with any schemes, he also assigned 20 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators who were fully subservient to him to watch over these Samsara Realm Dictators.

The Samsara Realm Dictator leading the first batch was named Dark River.

Dark River was a female Samsara Realm Dictator who came from the south mine district. Her looks ranked in the top three among the female subterranean Dictators. Her bloodline was that of the Bright Stone Witch and was considered to be extremely elite.

Yet, when Lin Yuan conquered the subterranean world, he had not paid any special attention to her. This had left her very dispirited.

Dark River believed that with her features and background, there was no reason not to favor her.

Not only did she have beauty, but she also had brains. Otherwise, she would not have been able to take over the richest mine district and reigned over it this entire time.

Dark River had decided that by hook or by crook, she would leave a good impression on Lin Yuan when she headed to the main world to deliver the Land Imps.

Alas, she was disappointed to find that Lin Yuan was absent when she arrived.

Liu Jie had not left a strong impression when Lin Yuan was conquering the subterranean world.

Although Dark River did not know who Liu Jie was, she could sense that he was very weak. He could not even compare to the relatively more ferocious Apostles!

The subterranean world was similar to the other dimensional worlds in that nothing mattered more than power.

Given Liu Jie's power, he could not gain the respect of the Samsara Realm Dictator Dark River.

Although she looked down on Liu Jie, Dark River dared not show how she truly felt because she knew that Lin Yuan trusted Liu Jie. Otherwise, he would never have left such an important task in Liu Jie's hands.

Mountain Furrow, Rock Underworld, and Hollow Earth had repeatedly told the subterranean Dictators about how important this task was to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan could enable Samsara Realm Dictators to reach the Afterlife Realm. This ability left a deep impression on all the Samsara Realm Dictators of the subterranean world, Dark River included!

Since she could not perform in front of Lin Yuan, she could ensure she at least received the basic treatment deserving of a Samsara Realm Dictator.

But if she earned Lin Yuan's ire, she would not only miss out on the chance to reach the Afterlife Realm but might even lose the benefits given to Samsara Realm Dictators.

Dark River was well aware of what her place was.

Liu Jie was able to smoothly manage and organize the Land Imps. But there were just far too many Land Imps, and collating them all was impossible.

Liu Jie mulled over this situation and decided to use Bai Qinghuan's plan. He decided to organize the Land Imps according to their strength. Those who were stronger would manage the weaker ones.

This way, Liu Jie would only need to manage the few strongest Land Imps. This would allow him to commandeer all of the Land Imps when he was organizing the relocation as well as for future tasks.

The Dictator Land Imps could not be used to build the base. Even if they were assigned such a task, they had to be in charge of special roles. Otherwise, it would be a gross waste of their talents!

Thus, Liu Jie separated the Dictator Land Imps from the rest, and they became a special team.

These Land Imps who had attained extremely strong faith power would finally be allowed to become leaders.

Liu Jie chose 30 of the strongest Land Imps and assigned the rest to them as their subordinates.

Liu Jie told these 30 Land Imps in a stern and serious voice, "You are being allowed to lead the teams of Land Imps because we trust you. From now on, you will be able to receive one earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl every month. If you perform well, you might receive additional rewards!"

The 30 Land Imps almost exploded with delight when they heard what Liu Jie said.

Normally, they would never have the right to touch resources like earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. Lin Yuan usually only gave such resources to the Samsara Realm Dictators.

Liu Jie had not made these decisions on his own accord. He had communicated extensively with Lin Yuan before he made these decisions. It was Lin Yuan who had decided to use heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to motivate the Land Imps.

However, Lin Yuan had not provided a structured plan, and Liu Jie devised one according to Lin Yuan's goals.

A total of eight to nine batches of the Land Imps had arrived.

The more than 200 elite Land Imps would be sufficient to complete the task to perfection.

Liu Jie worked day and night in Thick Soil City. In his spare time, he communicated with Duan He and told him to return from training with all of the white-clothed followers in tow.

The main world was being shaken, and Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival could begin anytime.

It was not appropriate for the white-clothed followers to continue training in the wild at such a time.

Moreover, Hu Quan had built the framework of Sky City on the Floating Island Whale's back. He did not lack subordinates or spiritual ingredients, but he did lack labor. The white-clothed followers would be just right to fill this gap.

If the white-clothed followers joined the building of Sky City, it would also be considered an accumulation of power.

Since Liu Jie found out that Lin Yuan's objective lay beyond the main world, he also changed his personal aim. He now also saw the world beyond the main world as the direction that he needed to work toward.

…

After the imperial meeting ended, the Moon Empress did not use the name of the Radiance Federation to establish the Major Federation Union. Instead, she established it jointly with the Azure Federation and Freedom Federation.

She sent invitations to every federation's imperial court, sending the main world into an immediate frenzy.

There was no way that any federation could go without joining a federation started by the three major federations.

The royalty of the other federations were all shocked that the meeting that established the Major Federation Union had been held in the Radiance Federation. The Freedom Federation had been the strongest of the three major federations all this time.

By all accounts, the establishment of the Major Federation Union should have been done in the Freedom Federation. There was no reason for it to have been held in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital instead.

The other federations had many doubts about the Freedom Federation's lack of protest, and they began to guess the reason behind their compromise. This did not fit with their style at all.

However, these federations did not have the courage to ask the Mirror God and God of Fools about the reason.

They wondered whether something had happened between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation.

But regardless of what the reason was, this matter allowed all the federations of the main world to know that the Radiance Federation would be the one sitting on the throne of the main world from now on.

Otherwise, the Freedom Federation would definitely have fought for something that directly involved authority over the main world!

The meeting of the Major Federation Union was being held hastily.

After receiving the news, all the federations gathered their people and rushed to the Radiance Federation.

Once the Major Federation Union was established, the structure of all the main world's federations would be altered.

It was highly possible that a new ranking of the federations would replace the one established by the competition among the federation envoys during the Major Federation Meeting.

Hence, every federation intended to give their all in this matter that involved their potential benefits.

The leaders of the federations on good terms with the Radiance Federation were all jumping with joy to themselves.

The federations who had not interacted much or had no experience with the Radiance Federation were all planning ways to curry favor with the Radiance Federation.

The federations who had ties to the Freedom Federation's members of royalty were all discussing in an attempt to find out more about the situation.

The collaboration between the other federations and the Freedom Federation's royalty were all personal. They rarely collaborated in the name of their federations.

But when they contacted the Freedom Federation's royalty, none of the federations received a reply.

There were rumors that all of the Freedom Federation's royalty had rushed to the Radiance Federation upon hearing the news and were acting very strangely.

Given the circumstances, despite the lack of response from the Freedom Federation, the royalty of the other federations could guess what had happened.

…

The 12 aristocratic families of the Azure Federation held a meeting that lasted for two days. For the first time, there was a difference in opinion.

The Azure Federation was not fully united, and each of the 12 aristocratic families had their own individual sources of profits. When their profits did not interfere with each other, they were very willing to respect each other's opinions.

But when there was a serious involvement of their profits, the aristocratic families were willing to clash violently with each other in order to preserve their personal profits!

It was said that 80 years ago, there were not 12 aristocratic families but 14 of them. However, two of the aristocratic families disappeared after a clash over profits!
