Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

First Page Crimson stated his opinion and decision.

With the rest of the Pages of Tower Canon indignant of him, it was increasingly common for them to oppose him. His decisions had already been overturned by the majority several times.

But this time, no one opposed him.

This was not because they were now willing to submit to him but because he had offered benefits that satisfied most of them without cutting into the profits of the minority.

As such, all of them were willing to offer him some courtesy. They could also use his words to maintain the peace.

Second Page Warbler Candle silently agreed to what Crimson said and pulled Fifth Page Falling Rainbow with her in the direction of the fortress.

Warbler Candle had questions for Falling Rainbow. She did not actually need to retrieve anything. Hence, the two of them did not need a full day's worth of time.

Warbler Candle also did not try to pick up something she could use to keep up pretenses with the other Pages of Tower Canon.

Warbler Candle had yet to find the opportunity to speak privately to Falling Rainbow. The other Pages of Tower Canon could also guess Warbler Candle's reason for leaving with Falling Rainbow.

Third Page Violet Light Green and Fourth Page Cavity Orchid looked at each other. Both of them felt that there was a high chance that the alliance between Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow would crack.

Warbler Candle was going to stop being a lapdog and stand on her own two feet!

After moving sufficiently far away from the other Pages of Tower Canon, Warbler Candle stopped, and her grip tightened around Falling Rainbow's wrist.

"Falling Rainbow, we have known each other for millennia. You know full well how I feel about you. I hope you won't lie to me! I am going to ask you now. Where has Eye Shadow gone?"

Falling Rainbow's expression did not change when she heard what Warbler Candle said. However, her heart wavered.

It was true that Warbler Candle had taken good care of her all this time. She had stuck by her even when the other Pages of Tower Canon had ganged up on her!

As cold-hearted as she was, Falling Rainbow did have genuine feelings toward Warbler Candle. It could be said that Warbler Candle was the only member she cared for and hoped would survive.

But so what if she cared?

Lin Yuan's goal was to use her to destroy all the Pages of Tower Canon.

If Lin Yuan refused to let Warbler Candle live, she would have no choice but to relinquish her life.

Falling Rainbow could not do anything about Warbler Candle's death. There was no need for her to be overly concerned about someone who was already marked for death.

As such, Falling Rainbow said, "Warbler Candle, why are you asking me this? Do you think I'm lying to you? Do you think I killed Eye Shadow? I don't have my dimensional treasure, but Eye Shadow has hers. If we really ended up fighting and she used her treasure against me, I would not have had much of an advantage!

"Moreover, when I returned, you could see that I didn't have a scratch on me. I don't care if the others doubt me, but I am hurt by your doubt! Even if I lie to the whole world, I would never lie to you!

"Don't you have even this much trust in me after the millennia we've spent together? You know even better than me the kind of person Eye Shadow is. I suffered considerably on this trip with her! Once we find her, I will definitely make her pay!"

At that point, Falling Rainbow intentionally pulled an expression full of hatred.

For her own sake, Falling Rainbow did not tell Warbler Candle the truth. She knew that once Warbler Candle found out the truth, she would abandon her immediately, regardless of how good of a relationship they had.

After all, she was about to trade the entire Tower Canon for her own life!

To put it simply, she had turned her back on Tower Canon and Warbler Candle.

Although Warbler Candle was suspicious of her, she would not lose trust in her. As long as she put on an act, she would be able to deceive Warbler Candle!

She needed to take Warbler Candle back with her as soon as possible to prevent any unexpected outcomes.

Presently, there was something that bothered Falling Rainbow.

It bothered her that Crimson had requested all of them to act together. It seemed as though he wanted to keep them all bound together.

This thought did not sit right with Falling Rainbow.

Warbler Candle stared at Falling Rainbow for a moment without saying anything. She eventually decided to place her trust in Falling Rainbow.

Aside from asking Falling Rainbow exactly what had happened, Warbler Candle had called Falling Rainbow out because she had something she wanted to say to her.

"Falling Rainbow, you interacted a fair amount with Crimson after awakening. Have you noticed that he seems different from before?"`

Falling Rainbow's expression froze. She had noticed this some time ago. However, she had not told anyone else about this and brushed it aside as unnecessary worrying.

But when they were conducting the ritual, Falling Rainbow noticed that Crimson's dead dimensional lifeform roots had changed. As a result, his power composition was no longer cohesive with the rest of them!

Crimson had to have noticed this as well. Otherwise, he would not have given her, Violet Light Green, and the rest the authority to oversee the ritual together with him!

In the past, Falling Rainbow would definitely have had a proper discussion with Warbler Candle after she brought up something like this.

But now, Falling Rainbow could not be bothered to think about such matters.

What happened to Crimson no longer had anything to do with her. It would soon become Lin Yuan's problem.

Frankly, Falling Rainbow would prefer if Crimson killed Lin Yuan rather than Lin Yuan destroying Tower Canon.

Once Lin Yuan died, he would no longer be able to control her.

"It's true that Crimson's actions are deviating from my expectations. But after slumbering for 6,000 years, it is possible that he has changed in some way. Crimson's bloodline has always had more potential than the rest of us. That's why we elected as the First Page!

"Warbler Candle, don't think too much about such things. If you really want to analyze this, wait until we're done with this operation and have divided up the main world's resources.

"Didn't we all speculate that Crimson was keeping a secret weapon? If this is true, he will have to reveal it if we draw back slightly during the battle against the main world!"

After conversing with Falling Rainbow, Warbler Candle slowly let her guard down.

At the same time, she found Falling Rainbow's words to make a lot of sense.

Without Epoch God Palace's presence forcing Tower Canon to unite, Tower Canon would already be squabbling over the division of the profit pie that was the main world!

It was highly likely that these current teammates would end up being her enemies. It would not hurt to put a dent in their power now, so it would be easier to deal with them once they eventually became her enemies.

Warbler Candle discussed her ideas with Falling Rainbow.

Falling Rainbow sounded as though she was conversing with Warbler Candle, but her mind and heart were someplace else.

She had only made this analysis to placate Warbler Candle.

Once they arrived at the Startling Lines Continent, her longtime comrades would be reduced to ashes by crimson flames.

…

When Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow rejoined the group, Crimson ordered that they continue their journey.

The longer they sensed their surroundings, the more certain Sixth Page Wave Glow and Seventh Page Concubine Winding were that something was wrong. Even after all the time that had passed, they were still unable to catch even the faintest hint of Eighth Page Eye Shadow!

There was no way that this was normal.

Given Eye Shadow's condition, she would never be able to sustain the utilization of her Secret of the Dead for this long. This was unless she was doing so at the cost of her roots.

Eye Shadow would only be willing to injure her roots if something was endangering her life.

Falling Rainbow had to be lying!

However, the two of them could not guess what Falling Rainbow's motive could be.

Falling Rainbow had lost her dimensional treasure and was incapable of killing Eye Shadow. Hence, the two of them did not consider the possibility that Eye Shadow had been killed.

The more they thought about it, the messier their thoughts became.

All they wanted to do was rush to the Startling Lines Continent as soon as possible to meet up with Eye Shadow.

The two of them had voiced their opinions and made their requests to Crimson multiple times. However, he had turned them down every time.

This made Wave Glow and Concubine Winding increasingly upset with Crimson. They almost pulled out their weapons in a fit of fury!

Luckily, Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow returned just in time.

Otherwise, Wave Glow and Concubine Winding might have attacked Crimson.

It was said that one never cared about things that were irrelevant to oneself. Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid acted no differently from when they were watching a show.

During the journey, Falling Rainbow received a message from Lin Yuan.

Falling Rainbow let out a sigh of relief when she saw that he had a new assignment for her.

She was terrified that Lin Yuan would order her to kill her comrades. It was not because she felt affection for them but because she was worried she would eventually be targeted by them in retaliation and suffer grievous injuries.

But now, Lin Yuan had instructed her to instigate the other members to flee with her.

Fleeing when things were looking bad would not only remove suspicion from her but also ensure her safety.

Falling Rainbow had already guessed that Lin Yuan was doing this because he wanted to separate the Pages of Tower Canon and divide and conquer them.

Falling Rainbow hoped that Crimson would not follow her when they fled.

If Crimson pulled out all the stops and used all his secret weapons against Lin Yuan, Falling Rainbow would benefit regardless of who emerged as the victor!

…

Lin Yuan did not make many more preparations in the Startling Lines Continent. Instead, he calmed himself and waited to receive Tower Canon.

The Radiance Federation and the rest of the main world were waiting to hear news of his victory.

Keira had awoken not long ago. She had nurtured the first batch of special shuttle demon insects.

Based on his experiments, each shuttle could cover a distance of around 5,000 kilometers.

Each trip required a certain amount of energy. The energy could be accumulated through the consumption of flesh and spirit qi.

After a day of shuttling, any corner of the main world could be reached.

Every shuttle trip would be able to carry around 20,000,000 demon insects. This was not a large number. But as long as there were a few female insects with high-class Genetic Locks, the insect army would be able to reproduce and grow.

After Keira woke up, Lin Yuan sent her back to sleep so she could produce more special demon insects with shuttle abilities.

Keira would not be able to offer much help in the subsequent battle against Tower Canon.

Lin Yuan could also control the demon insects and order them as he pleased.

Every female insect that Keira produced was extremely respectful toward Lin Yuan.

Recently, among all the feys that Lin Yuan had contracted, the biggest beneficiary was Silver Corona, who was stationed at the bottom of the sea, clearing out the corpses of the dead spirits.

If there were any corpses of dead dimensional lifeforms that were difficult to handle, the Vast Sea experts and the water Dictators would toss the corpses into the sea of bone lotus flowers. The corpses would then become fertilizer for the bone lotus flowers.

Silver Corona had finally reached Diamond X/Fantasy V.

It had slowed down its grade and quality evolution rate because it had been focusing on tempering its bloodline.

It also intended to evolve its bloodline from six wings to eight wings like Red Thorn had done.

Red Thorn had always been a large source of pressure for Silver Corona.

Because of Red Thorn's possessiveness over Lin Yuan, Silver Corona had to back off whenever Red Thorn appeared.

Silver Corona felt the same affection for Lin Yuan.

Although Silver Corona and Red Thorn appeared to get along well, Silver Corona did not like Red Thorn's possessiveness.

When Red Thorn had still been a six-winged fairy, Silver Corona had sensed Red Thorn's pressure. Now that Red Thorn had evolved into an eight-winged fairy, Silver Corona had no choice but to avoid Red Thorn.

This motivated Silver Corona to evolve its bloodline at the same time that it evolved to Myth Breed.

If the dead spirits crisis had not arrived, Silver Corona would have never been able to evolve its bloodline to such a degree, regardless of how much time passed!

But now that the dead spirits crisis was here, all the dead spirits in the main world were resources that fuelled Silver Corona. It was using these resources to trigger the evolution of its fairy bloodline.

Initially, Lin Yuan wanted Silver Corona to evolve its grade and quality as quickly as possible. But after understanding Silver Corona's conviction, he decided to support its ambition.

Besides, evolving its fairy bloodline would also aid in Silver Corona's subsequent increase in power.

Currently, Silver Corona's sea of bone lotus flowers was already larger than the Startling Lines Continent.

Silver Corona reached out to Lin Yuan and requested that he help it with its breakthrough.

According to the information from Falling Rainbow, Tower Canon was still at least a day away from reaching the Startling Lines Continent.

This was enough time for Silver Corona to evolve.

The commotion caused by Silver Corona would also raise Tower Canon's expectations.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yuan agreed to help with its evolution.

Lin Yuan traveled through a few nodes using Node Transportation and arrived at the edge of the sea.

He deftly leaped into the sea.

Due to his merman thearch bloodline, Lin Yuan was much more mobile underwater than on land.

He intended on accompanying Silver Corona during its transformation!
