Fey Evolution Merchant

2285 Gentle Pressure!
Lin Yuan had planned carefully before he decided to offer Dictator Carnage Source equal authority.

Firstly, Dictator Carnage Source had not caused trouble for him or tried to attack him. But this did not mean that the other six Samsara Realm Dictators from Marsh Abyss would act the same way.

If any of them ended up having an impulsive character and wanted to attack him, things would turn difficult for Lin Yuan.

If Dictator Carnage Source was linked to him, the other six Samsara Realm Dictators would hesitate before they made a move on him.

But all of the Dictators and Apostles who were part of this alliance needed to provide offerings.

Lin Yuan had more than enough big and small source fruits that he could use as rewards.

Dictator Carnage Source also needed appropriate rewards when giving out tasks.

Lin Yuan was offering pure source-type power.

If Dictator Carnage Source did not offer something that could rival pure source-type power, he would not be able to attract the attention of the other Dictators and Apostles.

Although Dictator Carnage Source shared the same status as Lin Yuan in this alliance, Lin Yuan was still the heart of the alliance.

Everyone, including Dictator Carnage Source, was only going to join the alliance because they were eyeing the big and small source fruits he possessed.

When Dictator Carnage Source bumped his fist against Lin Yuan, he had instinctively looked off into the horizon in the distance.

He could sense auras belonging to Dictator Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Mountain Ridge Source.

The three of them had clearly been waiting for him to try to kill Ten Thousand Source because of Dictator Tyrant Lizard in order to assess Lin Yuan’s power.

But none of them had expected him to agree to join Lin Yuan’s alliance.

The three of them could no longer remain there.

Dictator Carnage Source did not try to hide his gleeful expression.

Normally, even if a Dictator under him died, Dictator Carnage Source would never have appeared in front of a Samsara Realm Dictator whose powers were unknown.

After all, what did the death of a subordinate have to do with him? Once they died, they would be useless! He could just search for another subordinate to replace the dead one. Given his status, he did not have to worry about a lack of applicants.

But Dictator Carnage Source had appeared because Dictator Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Mountain Ridge Source had pressured him.

The seven figures from Marsh Abyss were balanced, but there were still some who were stronger than others.

Dictator Carnage Source was the weakest out of the seven.

He could only stand up to the other six because of the Samsara Realm source totem his mother had left to him.

But external power was just that. Thus, there were some areas in which Dictator Carnage Source felt pressured.

The pressure made Dictator Carnage Source extremely uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Since there was no way for him to gain the upper hand, being pliant could sometimes bring more benefits than insisting on a stalemate.

But now, he was linked to Lin Yuan. He might not be fully aware of Lin Yuan’s power, but it did not matter, even if Lin Yuan had similar power to him. His strength had already exceeded that of the other six figures, and he would no longer have to be pressured by them from now on.

In fact, he might be able to turn the tables and pressure the other six Dictators instead.

But before Dictator Carnage Source had time to be smug, small yellow almond flower petals drifted down from the sky.

The yellow almond flower petals made Marsh East Palace seem as though it was suddenly made of blooming almond flowers.

A branch that seemed to be as strong as a soaring dragon burst out from the ground.

The singular branch twisted toward the sky.

When yellow almond flower petals appeared on the branch, a girl with chestnut hair that was tied in a ring around her head and wearing a long yellow dress appeared on the branch.

She was holding the branch as though she was perched on a swing. Her bare feet occasionally peeked out from beneath her long dress.

At the instant that the girl appeared, Dictator Carnage Source’s expression turned stern.

Dictator Mountain Ridge Source had actually appeared!

At that moment, the level of the Banquet of Everything had been elevated to the point that it was now out of the league of regular Dictators.

Dictator Freezing Ember, Frost Cold, Pregnant Poison, and Return to Ruins all lowered their heads so they would not have to meet Dictator Carnage Source and Mountain Ridge Source’s eyes.

Dictator Return to Ruins was relieved that he quickly became loyal to Lin Yuan.

If he had hesitated and waited, he would have lost his chance when these two bigshots appeared. This was because, at this point, he no longer had the authority to speak.

Dictator Mountain Ridge Source first nodded at Lin Yuan.

Next, she turned to Dictator Carnage Source and nodded at him.

Dictator Mountain Ridge Source’s actions made it clear that she held Lin Yuan in higher regard.

Normally, Dictator Carnage Source would have immediately taken umbrage at what Dictator Mountain Ridge Source did.

But he no longer thought that way.

He was now part of Lin Yuan’s alliance. There was no reason for him to be calculative toward a member of the same alliance who could help to increase his power.

Dictator Mountain Ridge Source said to Dictator Everything gently, “Everything, I didn’t expect your life to take such a turn. To think that you are now by Ten Thousand Source’s side.”

Dictator Mountain Ridge Source had once helped Dictator Everything.

Thus, despite already being Lin Yuan’s follower, she bowed to Dictator Mountain Ridge Source.

“Thank you for remembering me! I also believe that I’ve been blessed!”

Dictator Everything had thought about seeking Dictator Mountain Ridge Source’s protection during her weak phase after she entered the Turning Wheel Realm.

But she eventually gave up on that idea because she had offered her loyalty to repay Dictator Mountain Ridge Source for her help, but the latter had not agreed. All she had said was that Dictator Everything needed to continue training.

At the time, Dictator Everything had not thought much about it.

But Second Born had suddenly become a Dictator and almost came after her life.
If she had not found a way to escape, she might have already become a source totem in Second Born’s possession.

While Dictator Everything had been hiding, she had completely given up on any thoughts of joining Dictator Mountain Ridge Source.

She was very grateful for Dictator Mountain Ridge Source’s help, but it had only been help. Lin Yuan was the one who had rescued her.

When Dictator Mountain Ridge Source heard what Dictator Everything said, she said regretfully, “I wanted to wait for you to train a bit more before I took you in. Who would have imagined that Ten Thousand Source would beat me to the punch? I am rather regretful about this!”

Dictator Everything would have been extremely touched if she had heard Dictator Mountain Ridge Source say that in the past.

But now, Dictator Everything did not feel touched in the slightest. Rather, she even felt slightly put off.

This was because Dictator Mountain Ridge Source’s words could have been interpreted as trying to poach Lin Yuan’s subordinate. This was a subversive way of putting pressure on Lin Yuan.
