2424 Conquer the Water World!
Lin Yuan forcefully suppressed his curiosity. He was going to have to wait for Morbius to wake up before he could investigate this ring.
Once the Source Sand was done sorting through the resources in the treasure vault, Lin Yuan left and summoned Light Green Umber and the other mermaids over.
Regardless of how quickly the Source Sand sorted through the resources, Lin Yuan still needed to spend a significant amount of time in the treasure vault.
However, it would also take a long time for Light Green Umber and Dazzling Silver to summon the king-class mermaids and elite mermaids over.
As a result, they were rather nervous about his summons.
Ever since Lin Yuan became the first thearch-class merman, the lives of Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, and the rest had changed significantly.
They were not at all upset by their demotion in authority.
Frankly, the only mermaid that could stand above Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, and the rest was Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan seemed as though he had no intention of taking control of the mermaids and only wanted to manage things from the sidelines.
This was extremely different from Brilliant Gold’s way of doing things.
But the difference was that Light Green Umber, White Brocade, and the rest had been full of grievances against Brilliant Gold, but they were now fully submissive toward Lin Yuan.
Now, Brilliant Gold did not have any authority to speak of amongst the mermaids. Even River Creek had started ordering her to do guard duty.
Brilliant Gold and River Creek had fought because of this. Even without her emperor scale, Brilliant Gold was still stronger than River Creek. However, she dared not cause trouble on account of Lin Yuan.
She was currently being punished. If she caused trouble now, there was a high chance that Lin Yuan would boot her out.
Brilliant Gold’s eyes had almost fallen out of their sockets when she saw the elemental pearls that Lin Yuan had been distributing. In all the years of being a mermaid emperor, Brilliant Gold had never seen such treasures containing so much water-elemental energy. Moreover, the water-elemental energy in the pearls was so pure that it was astonishing.
If she could gain Lin Yuan’s blessing and be aided by such treasures, she believed that she would also be able to become a thearch mermaid in less than 500 years.
It was unlikely that Lin Yuan would continue holding a grudge against her after punishing her.
If she managed to produce another emperor scale in the next few thousand years, she would still have a significant amount of her lifespan left.
At that time, even Red Beauty, the weakest of the lot, would have evolved to thearch-class!
Brilliant Gold could not understand why Lin Yuan did not use such precious resources himself and was giving them away instead.
Was he trying to win over their hearts?
With his bloodline, there was no need for him to try and win their hearts.
If Brilliant Gold was the one who possessed such precious resources, she would never give them away.
Light Green Umber and Brilliant Gold had been butting heads for a long time, and Light Green Umber often mocked Brilliant Gold. Now that she had lost her emperor scale, Brilliant Gold dared not step out of line.
Lin Yuan was sitting serenely on the throne. Although there were empty seats next to him, Light Green Umber dared not sit down.
When she noticed that Brilliant Gold was about to speak, Light Green Umber greeted Lin Yuan first before saying softly, “Lord Thearch, we have sent people out to spread the news of you becoming a thearch. The king-class and elite mermaids will definitely make their way here to offer their greetings.
“Even the king-class mermaids who live in the furthest regions will be able to rush here within two weeks. However, the elite mermaids are too slow, and it will take them more than six months to arrive!”
Lin Yuan frowned.
Light Green Umber did not want to lag behind Dazzling Silver in everything. They both had pinnacle emperor-class bloodlines and were considered rivals.
She would have to fight for the opportunity if she wanted to be seen.
If Dazzling Silver had not stepped forward and spoken up on behalf of Lin Yuan, the latter would not be holding her in such high regard now.
However, she seemed to have made a mistake this time by stepping forward first.
Light Green Umber reflected on what she said. There seemed to be nothing wrong!
Lin Yuan suddenly realized that his previous plan had not been detailed enough.
Once the two Endless Gems joined together to produce the treasure of the water world, Lin Yuan would not only be in control of the experts in Mermaid Forbidden Sea but those in Grace Sacred Hall as well.
If he rooted the treasure in Mermaid Sacred Hall, its effects would take a long time to reach Grace Sacred Hall’s territory.
The best way to take control of the water world was to root the treasure at the center of the water world.
The center of the water world was not far from the dimensional rift. Lin Yuan decided to use the dimensional rift as a line of reference and gather all the water world’s powerful lifeforms there.
It had been easy for Lin Yuan to gather all the Samsara Realm Dictators from the marsh world because Klein Hub was linked to the marsh world.
The water world was not linked to Klein Hub, so the water world lifeforms would have to pass through the dimensional rift to reach the main world.
If he gathered all the water world’s lifeforms at the dimensional rift, he would be able to transport them to the main world quickly when needed.
Wo Lun had established his fleet of boats and had begun sailing toward the Great Lush Federation. Along the way, he had encountered numerous dangers. Luckily, the Blue Ring Sea Octopus that Lin Yuan had given him managed to protect all the boats.
Lin Yuan did not have any ties to the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Although the Heavenly Family Cottage and Vast Sea Labyrinth were linked by marriage, Lin Yuan could not ask the Heavenly Family Cottage to request the Vast Sea Labyrinth to send experts to protect Wo Lun’s boats.
Lin Yuan felt that it would be better to send the sea beasts from the water world to the main world to safeguard Wo Lun and his boats.
As long as the sea beasts were not injured and their bodies did not decay, the poison from the blood would not contaminate the water from the main world.
Lin Yuan issued an order, “In consideration of the speed of the mermaids, let’s set the gathering location here!”
Lin Yuan tossed a small map to Light Green Umber.
He had obtained this map from Grace Sacred Hall. The markings on the map were complex and detailed as they pointed to a special location in the water world.
Light Green Umber definitely knew how to read maps.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was acting under the declaration that he was caring for the elite mermaids. This made him come across as a kind ruler.
After studying the location on the map, Light Green Umber hurriedly said, “If we gather there, and taking into consideration that the elite mermaids aren’t residing within Mermaid Forbidden Sea, it will take about two weeks for all the mermaids to gather.
“However, this location is at the boundary of Grace Sacred Hall and Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s territories. I am concerned that Grace Sacred Hall will hunt or kill the elite mermaids. This has happened in the past. We have no choice but to keep our guard up!”
Lin Yuan smiled and said something that shocked Light Green Umber, “Grace Sacred Hall will listen to my orders as well. Even if the four royal attendants arrive, they will not harm a single mermaid!”
