2345 Seven Into One!
This thought caused Eternal Source’s heart to start pounding.
The focus of every lifeform in the marsh world was to increase their power. From the pathetic creatures that lacked intelligence to the functional dimensional lifeforms, and even elite Dictators, all of them were unable to escape from this carnal desire!
It went without saying that some lifeforms chose not to be involved, but they were a very small minority that Eternal Source was obviously not a part of!
If Eternal Source wanted to remain uninvolved, he would not have gone to the Marsh West Circle to search for the big source fruit sprouts or started a movement against the invaders from the foreign world.
Thus, Lin Yuan’s ability to boost Evil Source was extremely attractive to Eternal Source now!
However, for the moment, Eternal Source could not find a way to convince Lin Yuan to help him.
The conflict had already formed. Unless he was willing to take a step back, there was a high chance that a wedge would be driven between him and Lin Yuan. Moreover, taking a step back would result in him forsaking Vine Source and Hornless Dragon Source. Mist Source might be able to forgive him, but the others might not!
Eternal Source sighed and decided to wait until the storm in front of him calmed down.
Evil Source and Lin Yuan had managed to patch things up after their bet. This meant that Lin Yuan was not only bothered by present matters but also considered future potential benefits and losses.
But before Eternal Source acted, Evil Source broke through again and promptly changed Eternal Source’s mind.
It turned out that Lin Yuan was not done with boosting Evil Source!
Evil Source’s power had previously reached advanced Samsara Realm. But now, she had broken through past the Samsara Realm.
Although her level had not increased, there was no question that she now possessed power beyond the Samsara Realm!
With this power, they did not need to proceed with a fight. It was evident that he would be no match for Evil Source.
Eternal Source did not look at Evil Source. Instead, he fixed his steady gaze on Lin Yuan and said, “I will give up my position to you and voluntarily drop my rank. Evil Source will remain on the eighth seat since she lost her book!”
Eternal Source knew that given the circumstances, it was not Evil Source that determined whether he was at a disadvantage but Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan was not there to boost Evil Source, the latter would have obediently taken the last seat!
Evil Source ground her teeth together when she heard what Eternal Source said and fought the urge to pummel him!
As she sensed the gargantuan power she now possessed, Evil Source was well aware that she could beat Eternal Source.
At the same time, she was shocked by Lin Yuan’s boosting ability.
It could be said that even if Lin Yuan chose to side with Carnage Source, he would possess a large share of speaking authority.
Evil Source did not know why, but she instinctively feared Lin Yuan, although they were clearly allies and had built a positive working relationship.
Evil Source did not know how Lin Yuan felt about Eternal Source’s actions and dared not make any moves without this knowledge for fear of angering Lin Yuan.
Just like Eternal Source, Evil Source’s gaze landed on Lin Yuan.
Evil Source was very curious to know what Lin Yuan’s next moves were.
She had chosen to side with him when he was establishing his power.
If Lin Yuan tossed her aside and left her to the eighth seat after being given the first seat, she would not want to continue interacting with him in any other ways besides trading with him for pure source-type power.
When faced with someone you could not afford to cross, the best thing to do was to avoid them.
A faint smile played on Lin Yuan’s lips when he heard what Eternal Source said.
He knew that he had secured the largest share of speaking power. Now, he could stall for as long as he pleased!
It turned out that the Dictators from the marsh world based their authority and ranking on the Green Field Secret Treasure.
Evil Source sure was reckless! She had dared to bet on the Green Field Secret Treasure despite having no clue about how strong he was.
If he used the Abundance Treasure Tree to take control of the seven Dictators in the tent, would he also be able to take the Green Field Secret Treasures from the six of them and try to fuse the seven together?
This thought instantly filled Lin Yuan with excitement.
The fountain of faith had already refined the Secret of the Dead, Volume 5, Sinking Song, and the Green Field Secret Treasure, Volume 4, Sky High, so they were now fused with him.
The abilities of just one of the Green Field Secret Treasures were already astonishing. What would happen if all seven were combined?
Lin Yuan looked into Eternal Source’s eyes and agreed with what he said.
Eternal Source was about to let out a sigh of relief when Lin Yuan went on to say, “You’re the ones who decided that the treasures determined authority, not me. Have Evil Source take her regular seat while the rest shift down. The ranking should be based on power and not a treasure that isn’t even useful in a fight!”
Evil Source’s chest tightened when she heard Lin Yuan agree to what Eternal Source said. But after he spoke up for her, Evil Source could not help but lean toward him.
Evil Source knew that even if Lin Yuan had not demonstrated his boosting ability and had insisted on not compromising, Eternal Source would have taken a step back for the sake of the big picture.
Evil Source knew that Eternal Source always looked out for the big picture.
It was because he thought about the big picture that Evil Source sometimes acted inappropriately despite knowing that she was weaker than him.
But now that Lin Yuan had demonstrated his powerful boosting ability and Eternal Source was so clearly tempted, there was no question that she would be able to occupy the fifth seat!
Mist Source and Vine Source were not upset with Evil Source moving up the rank.
Mist Source always supported Eternal Source’s decisions unwaveringly.
Vine Source’s rank was originally higher than Evil Source, so he was unaffected by the shift.
Carnage Source thought he had finally managed to one-up Evil Source, yet he was the one who had taken a hit as he was back in the last seat.
Moreover, he had not done anything when Lin Yuan had been targeted and even silently favored Eternal Source.
This action had definitely pulled him, and Lin Yuan even further apart. He had truly suffered a double loss!
Just like when Carnage Source had not dared to be too hasty to side with Lin Yuan, he had still lost his speaking authority.
Eternal Source paused for a moment before he stood up and said, “We will do as you said, Ten Thousand Source!”
