Fey Evolution Merchant-Chapter 2465 - The Dead Abyss Great Emperor!

2465 The Dead Abyss Great Emperor!
“If you want to see the three Abyss Wombs, we can call them over for you now!”

The smaller abyss demon pursed its lips and said with some bitterness, “The Abyss Great Emperor personally made the seal that has been keeping us here. He died soon after creating the seal and left the two of us here to watch over the Abyss Wombs.”

The two abyss demons had troubled expressions.

The Abyss Great Emperor had been the most respected figure in the abyssal world considered a myth.

In all honesty, these two abyss demons were not grateful to the Abyss Great Emperor at all. Instead, they bore some hatred for him.

They had not received help from the Abyss Great Emperor to increase their powers.

Back then, the two of them had been rivals with the Abyss Great Emperor and had been planning on becoming loyal to him after he achieved a breakthrough as a means of extending an olive branch. This was their way of leveraging important roles among his subordinates.

The Abyss Great Emperor had indeed given them important roles as they had been tasked with looking after the Abyss Wombs. However, he died soon after they took on the jobs, leaving them trapped in the first level of the abyssal world.

It went without saying that such a situation was out of their control.

The situation back then was rather similar to the current one.

The Abyss Great Emperor would have targeted them if they had not voluntarily submitted to him.

To outsiders, the Abyss Great Emperor was mad. After his breakthrough, he insisted on changing the abyssal world and claimed that the abyssal world was lacking.

But in the end, having started out as a Horn Demon, he paid extra favor to the Horn Demons while in the process of changing the abyssal world. He had reserved the seventh to 14th levels of the abyssal world, which were also the levels with the most habitable environments, for the Horn Demons.

Hence, many other species of dimensional lifeforms had no choice but to form alliances with the Horn Demons in hopes of gaining more resources.

This unfair arrangement made it difficult for others to sincerely submit to him.

The Abyss Great Emperor had been like a child who was trampling over things and changing rules as he pleased to satisfy his selfish desires. Because of this, he had turned the entire abyssal world into a toy that he used to gain pleasure.

The only right decision that the Abyss Great Emperor had made was to seal all ten of the Abyss Wombs in the first level of the abyssal world so that no powerful demons could take control of them.

The Abyss Wombs were the demons’ only method of procreation. Whoever controlled them would be able to continuously produce new demons.

The two of them had once controlled two of the Abyss Wombs and became the third largest faction in the abyssal world, with the exception of the Abyss Great Emperor.

They had decided to submit, but the second largest faction in the abyssal world had not chosen to become loyal to the Abyss Great Emperor. Rather, they decided to oppose him. In the end, the Abyss Great Emperor had utilized a cruel method to wipe them out.

The memory of their old rivals’ pathetic ending filled Carlos and Caroline with immense grief and residual fear.

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard their reply.

An Afterlife Realm expert had died! Lin Yuan was very curious to find out how this had happened.
Dimensional lifeforms were similar to feys in that their lifespans were extended each time they achieved a breakthrough.

Even if the Abyss Great Emperor’s lifespan had been at its tail end when he was at the Samsara Realm, it should have been multiplied many times over once he reached the Afterlife Realm.

“How can you be sure that the Abyss Great Emperor is dead? How did he die?”

Eternal Source also wanted to know the answer to Lin Yuan’s question. Now that Eternal Source had reached the Afterlife Realm, he was very curious to know what kind of power was able to kill an Afterlife Realm expert.

An Afterlife Realm expert would never decide to take his own life. An expert who did not treasure his own life would never be able to reach the Afterlife Realm. In fact, he would have died before he even became an Apostle.

Lin Yuan’s question caused Caroline and Carlos to think that he did not trust them, and they hurriedly said, “Lord Lin Yuan, we are also curious to find out how the Abyss Great Emperor died. He never left the palace after he tasked us to remain on the first level to watch over the Abyss Wombs. We never saw him again for the next few thousand years but never dared to enter his palace.

“One day, two Abyss Wombs started fighting immediately after encountering each other. One of their roots was injured and required a large amount of source-type power to be healed. We had no choice but to head to the palace to seek out the Abyss Great Emperor. That was when we discovered his corpse. His body had not decomposed but was completely lacking any aura of vitality.”

Lin Yuan was silent momentarily after hearing what Carlos and Caroline said. Then, he looked at Eternal Source and saw that Eternal Source was also frowning with doubt.

Lin Yuan did not need to use the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom to judge if the two abyss demons were telling the truth. Even if they were telling the truth, they had not explained the situation clearly.

He had seen the Abyss Wombs for himself. Given their intelligence, they did not move unless their lives were being threatened or if the books had been stolen.

Even when the books had been stolen and the Abyss Wombs gathered together in a frenzy, they had not fought each other.

A few of the seven Abyss Wombs that were chasing him had already encountered each other.

Thus, it was impossible that two of the Abyss Wombs had started fighting and ended up with injured roots.

What must have happened was that the two demons had incited a fight between two Abyss Wombs so that they would have a reason to see the Abyss Great Emperor.

Lin Yuan had caught something from Carlos and Caroline’s words.

Demons had the habit of cannibalizing each other and did so even if they had plenty of other food sources. This was because consuming the flesh of other demons would allow them to quickly increase their own power.

If the Abyss Great Emperor’s body had been in the palace, these two demons would have used it to try and attain breakthroughs so that they would be able to break the seal themselves. They had no reason to leave his corpse alone for all this time.

It was likely that the Abyss Great Emperor still had a method of deterring the two demons despite being devoid of any aura of vitality.
