Fey Evolution Merchant

2412 Hope You Become a Thearch!
At that moment, all six emperor-class mermaids were feeling extremely troubled.

They had all become accustomed to relying on each other and had lost the will of experts.

Experts should face all risks courageously instead of scrambling to find help and making escape plans.

White Brocade was the most affected by Lin Yuan’s words because her lifespan was also almost at its end.

This was because she had suffered a hidden injury that she had been unable to recover from when she had been emperor-class. Thus, her lifespan was not as long as the other emperor-class mermaids.

She had never told anyone else about this before.

As she looked into Lin Yuan’s resolute eyes, White Brocade could not help but say, “Your bravery in trying to break through your bloodline at the tail end of your life is commendable. But we have been to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye and know exactly how dangerous it is.

“Why don’t I go with you? I can tell you about my experience, and I’ll also be helpful in fending off the whirlpools. Our ability to control water disappears when we are near the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, so we’ll only be able to rely on our bodies for defense.”

Once White Brocade was done speaking, she swished her tail and approached Lin Yuan. She seemed ready to lead him to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

White Brocade’s words not only stunned Lin Yuan but Light Green Umber as well.

Light Green Umber was shell-shocked.

Was she really in such bad shape? When she asked for help to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, none of them had agreed, with the exception of Blue Umber. Why was White Brocade suddenly so amiable when Light Green Umber was swapped out for Dark Blue?

Lin Yuan was also floored.

What had he said? How did he give this white-tailed mermaid the idea that his lifespan was coming to its end? Why did she say that his bravery in trying to achieve a bloodline breakthrough at the tail end of his life was commendable? His lifespan still had a long way to go!

Lin Yuan was currently only 18 years old. If he formed a contract with the Lifespan Mouse in the future, he would be able to continue living for an indefinite length of time as long as he possessed items that contained vitality.

Lin Yuan would have preferred it if they had all refused to help him like they had done with Light Green Umber. Now that one of them was offering to help him, he was struggling to come up with a reason to reject her.

While Lin Yuan was trying to devise a reasonable excuse to use to turn White Brocade down, Red Beauty also spoke. “I was the last to evolve my bloodline to emperor-class and am the weakest of the lot. I probably won’t be able to be of much help. Nonetheless, I’m also willing to accompany you!”

Red Beauty turned to look at Brilliant Gold and Dazzling Silver.

“You two should come and help too! With another pinnacle emperor-class mermaid, even if this time ends in failure as well, the seven of us will be able to cut our losses and end up in a better state than we did last time!”

Brilliant Gold’s expression was troubled.

Frankly, she had her own selfish reason for rejecting Light Green Umber.

In truth, she wanted to try entering the Deep Chasm Sea Eye a second time after spending another few centuries accumulating her power.

If she helped Light Green Umber obtain the New Thearch’s Scale, she wouldn’t be able to compete against her for the same artifact.

If Brilliant Gold sought their assistance to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, the situation would change. In the event of her success, it was evident that those who aided her would also gain the opportunity to evolve their bloodline using the New Thearch’s Scale.

But now, she did not have a reason to turn down this pinnacle emperor-class merman whose lifespan was coming to an end and who was asking for their help.

Just as Brilliant Gold was about to voice her agreement, Dazzling Silver spoke first. “Okay! I’m willing to help! It just so happens that my power has broken through, so I will be of more help than last time! The seventh jolt of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye is the most intense one. I can handle that! However, once I’ve taken on the seventh jolt, I will need to leave the rest to you!”

Dazzling Silver’s words shocked all the other five emperor-class mermaids, including Brilliant Gold.

The seventh jolt had almost cost Brilliant Gold her life the last time. Yet, Dazzling Silver had not offered to help Brilliant Gold then. Why was she suddenly willing to put her life on the line for this emperor-class merman she only just met?

White Brocade, Red Beauty, Light Green Umber, and Blue Umber could not help but look at Brilliant Gold. They wondered if they were seeing things or if Brilliant Gold’s light gold hair was indeed tinged with green now.

Frankly, Light Green Umber and the rest had misunderstood Dazzling Silver.

Previously, Dazzling Silver had lacked such capabilities. If she had been capable, she would have done the same for Brilliant Gold.

When Lin Yuan noticed that Light Green Umber and the other two emperor-class mermaids who had yet to speak were also about to express their opinions, he knew that he needed to come up with a way to turn them all down!

There were many ways to go about with rejections. Lin Yuan needed this rejection to be backed by logic.

“My plan hasn’t changed. I don’t need your help. Did you rely on others to evolve your bloodlines to such a level? If the entire mermaid species’ top combat power is all invested in one person, the mermaid species will be doomed if any accidents take place.

“I want to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye and obtain the New Thearch’s Scale so I can evolve my bloodline to thearch-class. Why covet a position that doesn’t belong to you when you lack both power and capabilities? If any among you manage to attain the New Thearch’s Scale with the help of others, will you be truly respected even after you’ve become a mermaid thearch?”

This speech was Lin Yuan’s reason to dissuade the others from wanting to accompany him.

But when Brilliant Gold and the others heard this, they felt as though a pail of cold water had been dumped over them.

Firstly, the six of them could not come up with a reason for why Lin Yuan was turning them down.

The only reasonable explanation they could come up with was that he was trying to use his actions to back up his words.

His words damaged his profits, yet he was still persisting.
Thus, all of them started to contemplate what he had just said.

Brilliant Gold had not thought so much or far when she went to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye to attempt to break through her bloodline.

After her incident, Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s top powerhouses had paid a heavy price.

If not for the disappearance of Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers, the news would not have been kept under wraps for 2,000 years.

Given her understanding of the two rulers, they would have laid out an elaborate plan to target Mermaid Forbidden Sea. This would be a great threat to Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

If they worked together and helped one of them gain the thearch-class bloodline, would the rest be fine with it?

There was even the possibility that the one who attained the New Thearch’s Scale would turn greedy and turn their back on their teammates.

The mermaids were traditionally united. However, there had been exceptions in history.

Even Brilliant Gold, who had been the most conflicted about Lin Yuan’s appearance, felt a wave of respect for him at this moment.

Dazzling Silver looked calmly at Lin Yuan, but her silver eyes seemed to flicker with dewdrops of tears.
