Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

After absorbing calamity for so long, Merciful Soul was finally beginning to evolve to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom!

With Spring to protect Merciful Soul, the latter's evolution would definitely proceed smoothly.

Merciful Soul's abilities and exclusive skills were extraordinary.

It was the only curse-type/spiritual-type/soul-type fey that Lin Yuan knew of.

In the past, Lin Yuan never used Merciful Soul. But this was not because it could not be of help to him but because its abilities were too domineering.

Steal the Fate of a Nation and Demon Concubine's Promise would allow it to take over all the fate within a territory, as well as inject calamity into the territory. All the lifeforms in the territory would become entangled in the calamity.

If such an ability was expanded, it would be even more terrifying than the dead spirits crisis.

The dead spirits crisis was terrifying in a structured way, and the fear could be linked directly to the dead dimensional lifeforms.

On the other hand, Merciful Soul was terrifying in an unstructured way. It was a fear that could not be linked directly to anything!

This fear would cause the fear of inferior lifeforms to grow endlessly and create hardship for many.

Merciful Soul had yet to use its ability in the main world, but there was a chance that it would be able to demonstrate its ability in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Even if Merciful Soul was not by Lin Yuan's side, its evolution would bring him benefits.

Autumn sensed the energy fluctuations coming from Merciful Soul and said softly, "Lord Saint, if this fey of yours evolves to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, it will definitely trigger the opportunists in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. It will likely bring forward their eventual visit. It's possible that they will arrive soon after your fey evolves."

Autumn felt significant unease.

In the many years of waiting for the Saint to reincarnate, Autumn had suppressed himself, bringing out a tranquilness in him.

But now that he was by Lin Yuan's side, all the anxiousness resurfaced.

Lin Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest.

He had already expected the experts from the Sky Beyond the Clouds to come to the main world because of his feys' evolutions. The timing of their arrival made no difference to him.

Even if the experts from the Sky Beyond the Clouds came, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter would take up the duty of protecting the main world. With his power, he could not offer much help against the experts from the Sky Beyond the Clouds' experts!

Autumn could sense the energy fluctuations from Merciful Soul, but Lin Yuan could not.

But it did not take long before Merciful Soul's data appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

[Death]: Make judgment on the target's willpower, soul, spirit, and mind power. If the judgment decides that the combined power of the four powers is weaker than it, the lifeform will not be able to attack it.

[Heart Words Cross Disaster]: Place a voiced curse on the target. The strength of the target's spiritual energy will determine the strength of the curse. Under the influence of the curse, if another curse is placed on the target's mind, the effects of the curse will multiply, and the target's soul will start to corrode.

[Demon Concubine's Chaos]: When affecting the fate of the nation that the territory belongs to, a chaotic destiny can be injected into the territory. The chaotic destiny will afflict all the lifeforms on the ground with bad luck. The bad luck's effects will be linked to the strength of the chaotic destiny.

[Adversity Growth]: At necessary moments, the calamity can be transformed and used as lifespan to elongate its own lifespan.

[Disaster Fortune Application]: A disaster fortune imprint will be applied on the target. The disaster fortune imprint will measure its own calamity to the fortune in the target. If the calamity in its own body is greater than the fortune in the target, it will absorb the fortune in the target while injecting calamity into the target.

[Demon Concubine's Control]: Each of its eyes carries the ability to control lifeforms.

Divine Kingdom Abilities:

[Hardship Transformation]: The calamity and fortune in the divine kingdom can be transformed. The calamity eye and fortune eye will be formed on the Fortune Calamity Tablet in the divine kingdom. The calamity eye can enable calamity to accumulate continuously in the target's body. The fortune eye will enable fortune to accumulate continuously in the target's body.

Just like Blackie and the Jasmine Lily, Merciful Soul gained three new abilities, three exclusive skills, and a divine kingdom ability.

Merciful Soul's Creation Breed exclusive skill was called Disaster Fortune Application.

Disaster Fortune Application would place a disaster fortune imprint on the target's body before measuring its own calamity with the target's fortune. If there was more calamity in its body than fortune in the other party, not only could it absorb the fortune in the target's body but could also inject its own calamity into the target.

Calamity was intangible.

But as Lin Yuan's power and level continued to rise, he could not deny the existence of calamity.

Compared to energy and fortune, calamity was on a comparable level to faith power. It was a very rare type of energy.

When Spring saw Merciful Soul, surprise appeared on her face. Merciful Soul could absorb calamity from the environment into its own body, but other lifeforms did not have the ability to absorb fortune from the environment.

Disaster Fortune Application could be linked with Calamity Gathering and Calamity Trigger.

Calamity Gathering strengthened Merciful Soul's ability to gather calamity from the environment and could remove and cleanse the curse effects experienced by lifeforms in the environment.

The ability to remove curses from a group was a very rare support ability.

According to Spring, there were many species in the Sky Beyond the Clouds that were held in high regard because of their curse abilities. These species were rarely trifled with.

The species with curse abilities were famed and feared for these abilities.

However, in front of Merciful Soul, these species would have no choice but to keep their heads lowered.

Calamity Trigger would trigger the calamity in other lifeforms. The calamity would be used to lower the fortune of targets and turn their fortune values to negative.

When a person was unlucky, they would feel pain in their teeth when they drank cold water and trip when they walked. These misfortune effects would all be triggered in the target, and even living would become a challenge, much less during combat!

The disaster fortune imprint applied on targets by the exclusive skill, Disaster Fortune Application, would allow targets to have more calamity than other energy in their bodies!

Meanwhile, Adversity Growth and Demon Concubine's Promise could be linked with Payment in Life.

The Lifespan Mouse that Merciful Soul had contracted through Demon Concubine's Promise would enable Merciful Soul's lifespan to lengthen endlessly. As such, Merciful Soul's lifespan became a lethal weapon!

However, the Lifespan Mouse accumulated lifespan at a set rate and could not be evolved.

Hence, after Merciful Soul reached World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, the help offered by the Lifespan Mouse decreased significantly.

However, Adversity Growth made up for this drawback as it would turn calamity into lifespan.

If it lacked lifespan, it could overdraw on its calamity.

However, overdrawing on its calamity came at a cost.

If Merciful Soul could not replenish its overdrawn calamity in the next 100 years, its lifespan would also come to an end.

This enabled Merciful Soul to have the ability to roll numerous grades to fight.

But now that Lin Yuan had Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter by his side, he would not have many opportunities to send Merciful Soul out even if he was in danger.

The Immortal ability Merciful Soul gained was Shared Affection.

Shared Affection was a self-preservation ability.

When Merciful Soul was attacked, it could share the damage with entities that felt affection for it.

Merciful Soul was capable of breeding chaos and was a beast lifeform.

If many lifeforms felt affection for Merciful Soul, it would be very difficult for it to be killed even by powerful enemies!

The new exclusive skill, Demon Concubine's Control, could be linked with Shared Affection.

This was the exclusive skill that Lin Yuan favored the most.

Each of Merciful Soul's eyes could take control of a lifeform. As long as the target had less calamity in its body and its Divine Kingdom grade was not more than two grades above that of Merciful Soul, the latter could attempt to take control of the target.

For two lifeforms to have divine kingdoms that had more than a two-grade gap, they had to have many magnitudes of difference in power. They were not fit to be compared at all.

Yet, Merciful Soul could take control of many of such targets. This was enough to see its potential.

Merciful Soul could create a powerful World Emperor/Divine Kingdom army for Lin Yuan.

While Lin Yuan was checking Merciful Soul's data, he glanced at Merciful Soul, which had transformed into the form of a beautiful human.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt as though his looks could not measure up to that of Merciful Soul.

Its clear doe eyes and slightly curled shapely lips adorned its round head with petite bone structure. It wore a purple and pink dress that did not look gaudy at all. Rather, it could be described as beautifully elegant.

It was a pity that there was too large of a gap between Spring and Merciful Soul. Spring only admired Merciful Soul's looks and did not feel any other special emotions.

Currently, Lin Yuan was thinking about what level Merciful Soul's divine kingdom ability could affect.

Merciful Soul's divine kingdom ability could be seen as a functional- and production-type one.

Merciful Soul could transform calamity and fortune within the divine kingdom with Hardship Transformation.

After Merciful Soul absorbed the calamity from a place of peril and transformed it into fortune before injecting it into the environment, it would have used its own means to create a place of fortune.

Once the power of lifeforms reached a certain level, they would be able to sense danger.

Currently, Lin Yuan could not come up with a use for the calamity eye produced on the Fortune Calamity Tablet in Merciful Soul's divine kingdom.

Rather than using the calamity eye to increase the amount of calamity in the target's body, it would be better to use Disaster Fortune Application to place a disaster fortune imprint before injecting a large amount of calamity into the target's body.

Every lifeform sought fortune.

The fortune eyes on the Fortune Calamity Tablet in Merciful Soul's divine kingdom could be seen as an excellent spiritual ingredient.

If this spiritual ingredient was sold on the market, many factions from the Sky Beyond the Clouds would fight over it.

However, Lin Yuan did not lack resources. Rather than trading these resources at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Lin Yuan preferred to keep them for his own use!
