Fey Evolution Merchant-Chapter 2467 - Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower

2467 Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower
The two abyss demons’ souls were complete, and their faith power was not restricted. Thus, they were not being controlled by the Abyss Great Emperor in any way.

Since they had neither given their faith to anyone nor were their souls under anyone else’s control, it meant that another entity was limiting neither of these two pinnacle Samsara Realm lifeforms.

However, Eternal Source could not come up with a reason for why these two abyss demons would be causing trouble.

When the gap in power was this large, there was only one result for any attempts at scheming, which was futility.

Eternal Source looked at Carlos and Caroline. He noticed that neither of their expressions changed after Lin Yuan’s question. This meant they were aware of this event but had no special thoughts about it.

“Lord, I can sense the gathering fire-elemental energy. It disappears immediately before entering this dilapidated palace.”

Just as Eternal Source was done speaking, Carlos hurriedly said, “Lord Lin Yuan, this situation isn’t relevant to the Abyss Great Emperor at all. The Abyss Great Emperor chose to build his palace here and created the seal to keep all others out because he wanted the convenience to control all ten of the Abyss Wombs and act as the true dictator of the abyssal world.

“But another reason was that the first level of the abyssal world is the only place where the Abyss Red Lotus exists. The Abyss Red Lotus can gather fire-elemental energy and is a pinnacle Samsara Realm lifeform itself. The Abyss Red Lotus refused to bow to the Abyss Great Emperor’s pressure and be enslaved. So it was eventually killed and consumed by the Abyss Great Emperor.

“Later, the Abyss Great Emperor discovered that there was an unmatured lotus hidden at the center of the Abyss Red Lotus. Due to its ability to gather fire, the Abyss Great Emperor buried it underground and built his palace on top of it.

“After all the years that have passed, the fire-gathering attribute of the palace has become increasingly stronger. Our guess is that after being nurtured by the fire-elemental energy for almost 10,000 years, the Abyss Red Lotus’ previously unmatured lotus is about to sprout.”

Carlos knew that he could not allow Lin Yuan to misunderstand him at such a time, so he needed to provide as detailed of an explanation as possible.

Just like how he did not trust Lin Yuan, the latter also had no reason to trust them.

Part of the reason for Carlos and Caroline’s pain was the corpse of the Abyss Great Emperor, who had been an Afterlife Realm expert. But a bigger reason was that Lin Yuan was about to obtain the Abyss Red Lotus’ unmatured lotus.

The Abyss Great Emperor’s corpse had been too tough for them to consume, so they had no choice but to look on helplessly.

However, there was no way that the Abyss Red Lotus would have a high intelligence after sprouting, meaning that it would be extremely easy to control.

The Abyss Red Lotus’ fire-gathering ability was so important to the Abyss Great Emperor because he wanted to use it to increase his power.

If the two of them could nurture the Abyss Red Lotus, they would definitely be able to reach the Afterlife Realm before their lifespans ended and thus escape the Abyss Great Emperor’s restraints and break the seal on the first level of the abyssal world.

But now that Lin Yuan was there, everything was ruined.

If not for the fact they were no match for him and any attempts would result in their own deaths, Carlos and Caroline would have already gone all out in a battle against Eternal Source and Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan’s expression changed abruptly.
For the lotus to have such power even before it sprouted, it meant that the Abyss Red Lotus had to have an extraordinary background.

All lifeforms had clear distinctions in their ranks.

For example, the Hundred Questions Beast and Sound Bird were not even considered feys. If not for Lin Yuan, this species would never have had the opportunity to become feys.

The Brocade Embroidered Fortuitous Dragon could bring forth natural phenomena upon birth by summoning mountains and rivers.

There was a lifeform called the Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower that lived in the sea. When it was born, the sea’s water level would fall drastically as it consumed a large amount of seawater.

The Moon Empress had told Lin Yuan about a time when she was still a Radiance Envoy and the entire world had been gripped by drought. All the water in rivers and streams automatically flowed to the sea. The sea level had fallen to the point that the water could not flow back to the land, so all of the rivers and lakes on land dried up. At that time, everyone assumed that this was a naturally occurring calamity.

It went without saying that they had to search for a reason or source of such an event.

At that time, the Radiance Federation had already been one of the three major federations and countless smaller federations clamored over each other to seek help from the Radiance Federation.

Eventually, the Radiance, Azure, and Freedom Federations joined forces to form a drought-resisting alliance with over 400 large, medium, and small federations.

After almost five months of searching, they finally discovered that the seawater had been consumed by a strange lifeform.

The main world deemed this lifeform as an SSS-class carcinoma fey.

Carcinoma feys were always dealt with without mercy and killed upon discovery.

But the matter of the Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower had been too bizarre, and all the sea clans had banded together to protect it.

The sea clans rarely engaged in conflict with the humans, and this almost caused a war to break out between the humans and sea clans.

Apparently, even the Vast Sea Labyrinth had left the sea because of this matter.

There was an expert from the Vast Sea Labyrinth who was skilled at creating rain. He had used his roots to create rain in the main world for more than a month and managed to prevent the war.

The Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower would stop consuming seawater after it was born, so the sea level slowly rose again.

The sea clans had given humans many benefits for the next decade.

During that time, the sea clans allowed humans to nurture the Island Whales and use them in trade. Otherwise, given the Island Whales’ affinity with aquatic lifeforms and their unique characteristics, the trades would not have successfully taken place. This was because aquatic lifeforms did not harm the Island Whales but would not hesitate to attack the humans on their backs.

Purple Love later mentioned that the Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower was now an extremely important figure in the Vast Sea Labyrinth.

The Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower’s power had risen significantly in just a few decades.

Given the lifeform distinction of ranks, the Sea-Consuming Emperor Sunflower should be deemed as in possession of the highest rank now.

In his comparison, Lin Yuan excluded faeries like Begin Lady and Celestial Sight.

Faeries were able to attain power beyond the birth horoscope level upon birth. Thus, they could not be grouped together with regular feys. This was just like how humans could not be grouped together with feys.

Faeries could be said to be a lifeform that was similar to humans.

Like humans, Begin Lady could also use its spiritual energy to form contracts with feys. It had already tried this out.

Lin Yuan had taught Begin Lady how to form a contract with Little Peach, which it had created out of its own bloodline.
