2247 Ten Thousand Source!
Twin Feathers did not think that Lin Yuan would give these fruits to the other Apostles just because they had special flavors. Such a gift was slightly pointless.
However, Lin Yuan had to be doing so because the fruits had special effects.
Twin Feathers walked to the front of the group of kneeling Apostles and plucked a red fruit from the box.
The moment its finger touched the fruit, it sensed the pure source-type power within.
However, the amount of source-type power within the fruits was very little. Ten fruits contained the equivalent of 1 unit of source-type power.
Nonetheless, it was still a huge reward to these Apostles.
The Apostles who Lin Yuan had not picked had also received a fruit that would still significantly aid their improvement in the future.
When Twin Feathers was done handing out all the Deposit Ability Litchi Branches to the Apostles, these Apostles realized how generous he was.
The generosity of this Dictator toward inferior beings like them showed how powerful and wealthy he was.
None of the Apostles would be unwilling to be loyal to a generous, powerful, and wealthy Dictator like this. More importantly, this Dictator appeared to be very gentle, which meant that there was less risk associated with being around him.
The most important law in the marsh world was survival. The second law was that staying by the side of those in high positions came with risks.
There were many dimensional lifeforms that had been accepted by Apostles as Favored Believers who ended up killed because they had committed errors. There were also many cases of Apostles being killed by Dictators.
Hence, the safest option and best way to ensure their lifespans were prolonged were to become loyal to a gentle Dictator.
“I’m heading to the Marsh East Palace to participate in the Banquet of Everything. You don’t need to follow me. You can stay here to absorb the source-type power within the small source fruits. You can come and join me at the Marsh East Palace when I need you.”
Lin Yuan did not need too many Apostles to be by his side in order to attract attention at the Banquet of Everything.
Moreover, if they stayed with him, they would not have the opportunity to spread the word about the small source fruits and help him to attract a large sum through advertising.
Lin Yuan did not forget about his goal of going to the Marsh East Circle.
With his status as a Dictator, he could have Apostles following him at any time. After he gifted them the Deposit Ability Litchi Branches that contained source-type power, he could not drive them away even if he wanted to.
But if he missed the Banquet of Everything, obtaining such an enormous amount of resources would be difficult.
Lin Yuan was well aware of what was important and what was not.
After Twin Feathers was done distributing the small source fruits, it saw that the wooden chest was still half full. It could not help but gulp.
No matter how brave Twin Feathers was, it would never dare to touch something that Lin Yuan had not given it.
In the marsh world, names were given by the masses after one made a name for oneself. Many Apostles prided themselves on the names that they had carved out.
White Speak had never left the East Vast Large Lake. As such, it had not had the chance to carve a name for itself.
Twin Feathers had been called Cold-faced Snake Concubine, which was considered a name.
Dictators often called each other by these names. It was enough for the followers of Dictators to know them by these names.
In a way, knowing a Dictator’s name meant sharing in its glory.
White Speak had never interacted with Dictators in the past, so it was unaware of this.
But there was no question that Twin Feathers knew much more about the rules and customs than White Speak did.
Twin Feathers’ words caused Lin Yuan to be slightly shocked.
Name? He had never given himself any names or titles. But since Twin Feathers had asked, it meant that a name was an icon of one’s status. If he did not give one, it would be difficult to come up with a reason for the abnormality.
Thus, Lin Yuan had no choice but to come up with a name on the spot.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan said, “Ten Thousand Source.”
He had chosen this name because Ten Thousand Source Hall had fronted Whale Ocean Commerce. The goal of Ten Thousand Source Hall had been to collect source-type items, which was exactly what Lin Yuan was trying to do now in the marsh world.
However, Lin Yuan had a preference for sacred source lifeforms over source-type lifeforms.
This was how he came up with the name ‘Ten Thousand Source’.
Lin Yuan had no idea that this name shocked the surrounding Apostles to the point that their chins almost hit the ground.
No Apostles or Dictators would dare to include the word ‘source’ in their name in the marsh world.
Including that word was seen as scorning other lifeforms of the same life rank. This would undoubtedly result in backlash from the other lifeforms.
As such, there were rarely any Apostles who had such a word in their name.
It was said that Marsh East Circle was considered on the smaller side of the six major circles.
There were only a total of six Dictators from Marsh Abyss, which was the center of the six major circles, who had the word ‘source’ in their names.
Could it be that this Dictator was one of the six?
But it would be too strange if that were the case. Why would a bigshot from Marsh Abyss come to Marsh East Circle to participate in a trading event held by a veteran Dictator?
Dictator Everything had a reputation for being reckoned with in Marsh East Circle, but the Palace of Everything did not have much hold in Marsh Abyss.
Lin Yuan had no idea that a name he had come up with off the top of his head would result in so much confusion and speculation. He also had no clue that this name might cause him trouble in the future.
After giving his name, Lin Yuan said to Twin Feathers and the other five Apostles, “The six of you don’t have to follow me either. From now on, begin collecting marsh soil for me. After the Banquet of Everything ends, I will distribute the remaining small source fruits in the box according to how much marsh soil each of you collects.”
If Lin Yuan wanted to make himself seem mysterious and untouchable, he should not be giving the Apostles such an easy task. But when practicality was compared with benefits, maintaining a high and mighty image was clearly not as important as benefits.
It was enough for these Apostles to see him as a Dictator.
It was always power and resources that propped a person up.
Lin Yuan had witnessed how eager the Apostles had been to receive the Deposit Ability Litchi Branches. The six Apostles would do their best to collect as much marsh soil as possible before the Banquet of Everything ended to obtain more small source fruits.
