2416 Space Within the Deep Chasm Sea Eye!

“After spending so many years together, you should know by now that I always keep my word. Brilliant Gold, I hope that you won’t put me on the spot.”

Dazzling Silver’s words immediately elicited a menacing smirk from Brilliant Gold.

“Dazzling Silver, are you going to go against me for the sake of someone you just met?”

Before Dazzling Silver could respond, White Brocade said, “Dark Blue was very clear when he spoke. He wants to try to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye and obtain the New Thearch’s Scale on his own.

“All of us are aware of this. We didn’t stop him then. So why would we change our minds now and risk getting on his wrong side?

“Brilliant Gold, I am aware of the selfish thoughts floating around in your mind! Those wicked thoughts shouldn’t exist in the mind of a mermaid. Take my advice and wipe those thoughts from your mind. Stay here and guard with us.

“Even if Dazzling Silver permits you to go, the rest of us will never agree. You can check with Red Beauty, Light Green Umber, and Blue Umber to see if they will back me up.”

Brilliant Gold was one of the six emperor-class mermaids.

But she was the first of the six to reach pinnacle emperor-class because she had Dazzling Silver’s support.

As a result, she always conducted herself arrogantly and saw herself as the decision-maker among the six of them. She could not allow anyone who used to be obedient to her to turn against her.

Light Green Umber had already slighted her in the main hall.

Now, even White Brocade, who had yet to reach pinnacle emperor-class, was treating her in such a way!

Light Green Umber did not want to give up on any opportunity to tick off Brilliant Gold. When Dazzling Silver turned against Brilliant Gold, Light Green Umber did not bother to hold back and said, “All this time, I’ve been wondering why the mermaid species has been going downhill in spite of our continually rising power. But now, I understand why!

“Brilliant Gold, you should reflect on yourself. You are now openly breaking a promise to another emperor-class merman. As an emperor-class mermaid, you have failed! If you insist on going, I will have to attack you. Both of us are pinnacle emperor-class. Even if I don’t manage to defeat you, you won’t be able to get away unscathed, either.

“All I need to do is hold you back until Dark Blue returns. If Dark Blue manages to become a thearch-class mermaid, all you will be able to do is hope that your actions now aren’t misunderstood by Dark Blue!”

Eternal Source never thought much of the emperor-class mermaids from the water world.

Although they possessed a similar bloodline to Lin Yuan, the latter’s goal of coming to the water world was not to connect with his relatives but to conquer the water world.

Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have gone to Grace Sacred Hall immediately after arriving in the water world instead of Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

This meant that there had to have been something within Grace Sacred Hall that appealed to Lin Yuan more than Mermaid Forbidden Sea did.

The mermaids were also the strongest Samsara Realm Dictators in their dimensional world.

Eternal Source could see the mermaid emperors like Light Green Umber, who Lin Yuan had made an impression on Lin Yuan as his equals.

If mermaids like Brilliant Gold, who held malicious thoughts and lacked friendly intentions toward Lin Yuan, didn’t change their mindsets, they would ultimately face a fate similar to Vine Source and Extreme Ocean.

Although Lin Yuan did not dislike Brilliant Gold as much as he did Extreme Ocean and Vine Source, it would be difficult for Brilliant Gold to be allowed to work with the other five from now on.

Ink Ocean, Ancient Ocean, and Frozen Ocean had always been enemies with Brilliant Gold. Thus, Brilliant Gold would not have much luck trying to join Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean’s camp either.

As such, this lonely Samsara Realm Dictator was not worth Eternal Source’s concern.

The united front that the mermaids put up came from the principled structure of their upper echelon.

Brilliant Gold had clearly broken a taboo.

“Our Lord said that he wants to try to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye on his own. So if you want to go, you’ll have to get past me first! When it comes to power, both of us are somewhat equals. Even if they don’t stop you, you won’t be able to defeat me.”

Eternal Source promptly activated his source sacred body and positioned himself in front of the emperor-class experts.

Previously, Brilliant Gold possessed more sway and often targeted Light Green Umber. Now, she was finally experiencing what Light Green Umber usually felt.

Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to resign herself and make the only choice presented to her.

Brilliant Gold sat on a chair on the mountain and fixed her gaze on the Deep Chasm Sea Eye in the distance.

…

After entering the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, Lin Yuan noticed that the space within was not large. It was only around a quarter of the space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, making it around 100 square meters. This space was even smaller than Lin Yuan’s bedroom in the Return from Faraway Mansion.

There was only one tall stage in the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. There was a blue and gold shell hanging above the tall stage.

Lin Yuan could sense that the mermaid power, which was on a higher level than his own, was coming from that gold and blue shell. As such, the New Thearch’s Scale was definitely within that blue and gold shell.

Lin Yuan started swimming toward the blue and gold shell.

When he arrived in front of the shell, Lin Yuan exerted some force and opened it.

There was a blue and gold scale within the shell.

The blue and gold scale was even purer than the blue scales on Lin Yuan’s body. When he looked closer, he saw that the scales were fully azure. They were just covered by golden patterns.

The patterns appeared to be random swirls at first glance, but Lin Yuan noticed that they were actually inscriptions of the narrative behind the mermaid bloodline.

Since he had the mermaid bloodline in his body, Lin Yuan knew what to do with the New Thearch’s Scale when he saw it.

Lin Yuan placed his hand on his tail and ripped off one of his scales before replacing it with the New Thearch’s Scale.

Lin Yuan felt that the position where the New Thearch’s Scale had been placed was now extremely hot. The heat was so intense that Lin Yuan felt as though he had been set on fire.

Lin Yuan knew that he was feeling this way because the energy from within the New Thearch’s Scale was cleansing the mermaid bloodline in his body and making it even purer than it already was.

Immediately after the heat appeared, Lin Yuan started feeling pain and itchiness.

After consuming the Earth Center Fine Milk, Lin Yuan’s pain tolerance had significantly increased. There was virtually no type of pain in the world that Lin Yuan couldn’t handle.

However, itchiness and pain were completely different.

Lin Yuan wanted to scratch his body, but his body had been locked by the energy from the New Thearch’s Scale. Even his face had been locked, so he could not react in any way.
