2408 New Pinnacle Emperor!
Light Green Umber and Dazzling Silver had been at odds due to Light Green Umber’s excessive caution in the past, which led to their unwillingness to assist Brilliant Gold at the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. Dazzling Silver took advantage of this and taunted Light Green Umber.
However, Dazzling Silver’s current actions contradicted her previous words. Dazzling Silver blindly supported Brilliant Gold as a loyal follower without questioning her actions.
To Light Green Umber’s surprise, Dazzling Silver’s bloodline had reached pinnacle emperor-class. Despite allocating most of her resources to Brilliant Gold, Dazzling Silver had still managed to evolve her bloodline to such a high level. It appeared that Dazzling Silver possessed greater talent than Brilliant Gold.
Light Green Umber considered it foolish for Dazzling Silver to sacrifice her remarkable talent for fruitless emotions that would not lead to anything.
Even without assistance from others, Light Green Umber had no intention of giving up. She glanced at the other emperor-class mermaids with whom she had coexisted for thousands of years and felt a sense of amusement.
“If you don’t help me enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, I’ll go on my own. From now on, I will only protect the citizens under my territory and care. Don’t come to me for help with anything that happens in the other territories in Mermaid Forbidden Sea! I wash my hands off all of it.
“Brilliant Gold, I helped you in the past. But today, you aren’t extending me the same favor. Where is your sense of morality? You force Dazzling Silver to make a stand in every matter, but this won’t change the facts.”
Light Green Umber did not want to stay much longer and was about to leave when a king-class mermaid excitedly barged in.
All six emperor-class mermaids had chosen this king-class mermaid and was in charge of setting up and raising money for meeting venues, as well as the reporting of important events.
But now that all six emperor-class mermaids were gathered here, there should be nothing important to report.
Could it be that Grace Sacred Hall was attacking?
But if that were the case, River Creek should not have such a happy expression on her face.
White Brocade asked River Creek loudly, “Why are you interrupting our meeting?”
White Brocade knew that River Creek always acted with responsibility. Otherwise, all six of them would not have picked her from the throng of king-class mermaids.
With River Creek’s talent, she could become the next emperor-class mermaid even if she did not receive favors from any of the other emperor-class mermaids.
River Creek hurriedly said, “In Area 9 of the north district, the king-class mermaid Luna from the outskirts of Area 8 has arrived with a new mermaid emperor! He claims that his bloodline has reached pinnacle emperor-class and that he wants to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. I dared not act on my own accord as this matter involves a new emperor. So I had no choice but to interrupt your meeting!”
When Light Green Umber heard what River Creek said, her first reaction was not shock but delight.
With a new emperor-class merman who also wanted to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, it meant that there was now someone else who shared her goal. She now had a strong partner.
Now that she had someone else on her side, both camps of opinion were at a stalemate again.
Even if Brilliant Gold, White Brocade, Red Beauty, and the rest were still unwilling to help, she would be able to seek help from this other emperor-class merman who wanted to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye so they could both try to attain the New Thearch’s Scale.
Light Green Umber was only thinking about herself.
However, the other emperor-class mermaids had all begun guessing where Lin Yuan had popped up from.
The sudden appearance of a new emperor was not overly surprising. Mermaid Forbidden Sea was enormous. As long as talented king-class mermaids received some sort of opportunity, there was always the chance that they would be able to reach emperor-class.
However, in this case, the king-class merman did not reveal himself after he reached emperor-class. Instead, he went into seclusion and only appeared once he reached the pinnacle emperor class. Furthermore, his first goal after appearing was to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, which was the sacred location of mermaids.
As such, it was hard not to feel the pricks of suspicion.
Brilliant Gold asked River Creek seriously, “River Creek, you must have met that emperor-class merman. Does his aura match what he said, that he has reached pinnacle emperor-class?”
River Creek hurriedly said, “Lordess Brilliant Gold, I wouldn’t dare to be careless when it comes to such matters! I have confirmed that the aura of the merman who came with Luna has really reached pinnacle emperor-class! I also think that emperor-class merman’s bloodline is even stronger than yours!”
Among mermaids, it was not an insult to say that one’s bloodline was stronger or weaker than another.
Thus, Brilliant Gold was not angered by what River Creek said.
Brilliant Gold was the first of the six emperor-class mermaids to reach pinnacle emperor-class.
Although her roots had been injured, her bloodline had still improved after thousands of years of recuperation.
Now, her bloodline was even slightly beyond that of Dazzling Silver and Light Green Umber.
Even a king-class mermaid like River Creek was able to sense that this new emperor’s bloodline was stronger than that of Brilliant Gold. This meant that this new emperor’s bloodline had to be more powerful!
Before Brilliant Gold could continue speaking, Light Green Umber said, “Since you have confirmed that his bloodline has reached emperor-class, why don’t you bring him in to participate in this unfinished meeting?
“This meeting involves an important decision for the mermaid species. It would only be right for this new emperor to participate! Don’t you agree, Brilliant Gold, Dazzling Silver, White Brocade, and Red Beauty?”
Red Beauty did not want to start a war, but she was not against Light Green Umber going to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye to try and achieve a bloodline breakthrough. Thus, she resented the implications of Light Green Umber’s words.
Alas, Light Green Umber’s bloodline was more elite than hers, so she forced down all of her displeasure.
River Creek served all six emperor-class mermaids. Thus, she needed to consider all of their opinions.
River Creek did not move after receiving Light Green Umber’s order. Instead, she continued waiting until she received nods from the other five emperor-class mermaids.
Brilliant Gold, White Brocade, and the rest all knew what Light Green Umber was thinking.
However, it was very normal to invite a new emperor to participate in a meeting concerning the entire mermaid species.
Brilliant Gold and the rest had no choice but to nod at River Creek as they thought about how to persuade this new emperor.
It would be difficult to convince an emperor-class merman to give up on evolving his bloodline.
Most importantly, this new emperor had never been to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye and had yet to personally experience just how dangerous it was. Thus, it would be very difficult for him to fully comprehend the extent of the danger!
Lin Yuan, who had just rushed to the main region of Mermaid Forbidden Sea, had no idea that the seemingly united elites of the mermaid species were actually fraught with conflict.
He knew that the six mermaid emperors had to be curious about his identity and was prepared to use the same script that he had used with Luna.
It did not matter whether they believed him. All that mattered was whether he managed to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye smoothly!
