Lin Yuan did not need to be afraid that the development of the territory would stagnate after the resources around the territory were used up.
Any terrestrial territory’s development was restricted by the resources in its surroundings.
The 36 major cities in the Radiance Federation all took advantage of the resources around them as well as their surroundings.
This was why the disappearance of the lava zone resulted in the entire Bronze Furnace City’s development and finances taking a hit.
If the lava zone’s energy core did not need to be absorbed in order to revive Jade Sundial, which resulted in the disappearance of the lava zone, Lin Yuan would not have invested so many resources into Bronze Furnace City to help its development get back on track.
Ever since he picked this spot in the marsh world to set up his territory, Lin Yuan had been careful about the resources he gathered from the territory. This was so he could ensure sustainability. Because of this, Lin Yuan accumulated resources very slowly.
But now that the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle had appeared, Lin Yuan would no longer need to worry about sustainability and could rapidly gather resources from the marsh world.
As the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle moved around, it could gather resources from all over the marsh world to strengthen itself.
The Freedom Federation’s mirror cities in the marsh world could not accomplish this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Yuan was already very satisfied with the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle before it became an Apostle.
Now that it had become an Apostle, its original natural skill, Mutated Shell, had changed. It could now also evolve itself using the offerings from its believers and decide whether it wanted to expand its shell or strengthen its body to enable itself to carry even greater weight.
This would allow Lin Yuan to adjust the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s development direction. He would not have to be worried about the territory being too heavy for the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle to carry or too large for earth-elemental effects from the marsh soil to be unable to reach the entire territory.
After the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle became an Apostle, the improvement in Mutated Shell essentially strengthened its fundamental ability.
As for its new natural skill, Expansion Division, it allowed the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle to change from a singular body to a team it could control. This team would operate under one will and be controlled to do the same actions.
This would allow Lin Yuan to keep the gardens and territories with special effects separate but still by the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s side. He would not have to worry about organization.
Lin Yuan lifted his hand and touched the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s exposed, thick skin.
At that moment, the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle opened its eyes and met Lin Yuan’s gaze.
The Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle had become a large stone, but it was small compared to Rising Lizard.
The trauma of being in Rising Lizard’s mouth had not disappeared just because its life rank had been raised.
The Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle admired Lin Yuan while ducking behind him in fear, so he was sandwiched between it and the Rising Lizard.
Lin Yuan smiled at this.
The Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle was afraid of Rising Lizard now, but once it grew and gained intelligence, it would eventually come to thank Rising Lizard, Wendy, and White Pavilion.
The Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle had to thank them for discovering and giving it this opportunity. Otherwise, with Lin Yuan lacking the spare energy to invest in the marsh world, there was no way he could have crossed paths with the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle.
It was clearly recently born and had struggled after being separated from its parents.
With the hardness of the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle’s shell as a Class 1 dimensional lifeform, it would not be able to fend off Class 4 and above Marsh Crocodiles even if it retreated into its shell.
Lin Yuan gently told the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle, “You have transformed into an Apostle. You will definitely become a stand-out figure in the marsh world. I shall call you Lift Marsh! I hope you will eventually be able to lift up the entire marsh world on your back one day!”
Lift Marsh did not seem to fully understand what Lin Yuan said. But it seemed to get the gist.
The admiration it felt for Lin Yuan led Lift Marsh to cherish the name that Lin Yuan had given it.
Lift Marsh shook its shell and let out two grunts that resembled those of a bull. This whistle-link roar meant that Lift Marsh could rapidly circulate its bloodline at any time.
When its bloodline was rapidly circulated, the pressure in its bloodstream could even break iron boards that were half a finger thick.
Lin Yuan had showered affection on Wendy, Rising Lizard, and White Pavilion, so they did not find anything strange about what he said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut what Lin Yuan said to Lift Marsh caused the Medusa Snake Demons working nearby to turn green with envy.
Half an hour ago, Lift Marsh had less value than dirt. But now, it had joined the upper echelons.
Lin Yuan’s ability to turn a regular dimensional lifeform into an Apostle deepened the respect and fear that the Medusa Snake Demons felt for him.
Wendy was just as powerful as Rising Lizard but still had the heart of a child. It had only been born slightly longer than a year ago.
Wendy was actually the Snake Change Medusa. It changed back into its snake form and slithered onto Lift Marsh’s expansive back before it changed back into human form.
After sitting on Lift Marsh’s back for a while, Wendy said happily, “Although there are many horns on Lift Marsh’s back, it is very smooth and comfortable to sit on! From now on, I can sit on Lift Marsh’s back and won’t have to sit on Rising Lizard anymore!”
White Pavilion swished its tail.
Rising Lizard sadly swung its heads as its countenance seemed to deflate.
Rising Lizard was a ferocious beast that relied on close combat, and every part of its body was a powerful weapon. Its skin was no exception.
One would only feel slightly prickly when their skin was touched along the grain. But if they touched against the grain, one would feel like they were being sliced by sharp razors that could easily cleave off more flesh over five centimeters thick.
Because of this, Wendy and White Pavilion always had to be exceptionally cautious when they rode on Rising Lizard’s body. But no matter how careful they were, they had been accidentally cut more than once.
After Lift Marsh became familiar with Rising Lizard, White Pavilion, and Wendy, Lin Yuan took out a ball of low-grade marsh soil.
The moment Lin Yuan took out the green and shiny ball of marsh soil, Lift Marsh’s gaze was immediately attracted to it. From then on, it was difficult for Lift Marsh to tear its gaze away.
