2474 The Goddess of Mercy and the Scale!
“I will give both of you a chance. The two of you will go and help me with something. Once you’re done, I will reward you. But if you do a bad job, one of you will die while the other will remain to act as the dimensional world’s watchdog.”
Although he had yet to use the abyssal world’s treasure to take control of them, their disobedience would mean that they were innately traitors and that keeping them around would not be worth it!
Carlos and Caroline froze and hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Lord Lin Yuan. We will definitely do a good job. We won’t disappoint you!”
Not a single part of Carlos and Caroline doubted that Lin Yuan was telling the truth.
Previously, with just Eternal Source, who had reached the Afterlife Realm, Carlos and Caroline were already no match for him. But now, Lin Yuan also had the revived Abyss Great Emperor.
The Abyss Great Emperor had been looming over them for a very long time and had been a source of stress for Carlos and Caroline for far longer than Eternal Source had.
Lin Yuan’s subordinates could leave the first level of the abyssal world, which was already a huge incentive for Carlos and Caroline.
After hearing their response, Lin Yuan started to give out instructions, “The two of you still start on the second level and gather all of the decent Apostles and Dictators at the entrances of the ninth and tenth levels of the abyssal world. I will give you a one-month deadline. I’m sure that you will be able to do a good job with your power.”
Carlos and Caroline understood what Lin Yuan’s intentions were. This task would be easy for them to carry out.
“We will be able to do a good job as long as the demons aren’t stronger than us!”
Lin Yuan gave Zong Ze’s picture to the two of them and told them to protect him if they encountered him. Otherwise, given their characters, they would immediately attack a lifeform like Zong Ze that did not belong to the abyssal world.
After receiving the photograph from Lin Yuan, Carlos and Caroline carefully committed his image to memory before leaving the first level of the abyssal world.
Once Red Thorn was done taking control of the Abyss Great Emperor, the first thing that Lin Yuan did was get the ten Abyss Wombs under control.
Then, he left the first level of the abyssal world and returned to the entrance of the abyssal world.
After leaving the abyssal world, Lin Yuan arrived at the location where he had arranged to meet Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and the Goddess of Mercy.
Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean had been extremely anxious along the way and were terrified that First Page Crimson would appear out of the blue.
After meeting up with Lin Yuan, they sensed the aura coming off from Eternal Source before the two of them could let out a breath of relief.
What? Eternal Source had managed to evolve past the Samsara Realm! His aura was similar in level to that of First Page Crimson, but it was clear that First Page Crimson’s aura was stronger.
Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean knew what Lin Yuan was going to ask, so they did not beat around the bush and immediately told him about all the information they had found out and all that they had sensed.
Not only was Lin Yuan unworried by the news, but he even became more relaxed than before.
Eternal Source’s power had only just broken past the Samsara Realm and had similar power to an expert who had just reached the spirit-fire level.
Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean’s information was very useful and could prove that First Page Crimson was indeed on the same level as Eternal Source.
When the Goddess of Mercy laid eyes on Lin Yuan and sensed the strength of his bloodline, her legs went weak, and she instinctively fell to her knees.
The Goddess of Mercy already had special intentions toward Lin Yuan. Now that his bloodline had improved again, her affection for him intensified even further.
The mermaids placed bloodline above all else. It was normal for inferior mermaids to become infatuated with elite mermaids.
Lin Yuan knew this and expressively avoided her gaze after realizing her intentions.
Lin Yuan had a traditional human mindset. According to their age, the Goddess of Mercy could be his great-grandmother! He could never accept such an age gap.
Regardless of how the Goddess of Mercy felt toward him, it did not change the fact that she had helped him significantly and that he owed her a favor.
He took out the emperor scale that he had dug out from Brilliant Gold’s body and gave it to her.
“Goddess of Mercy, if you fuse with this emperor scale, you will be able to become an emperor-class mermaid soon. Then, you will no longer be restricted by your birth horoscope.”
The Goddess of Mercy looked at the gold scale in his hand and could sense the emperor-class mermaid energy within the scale.
If she absorbed this scale, she would be able to become an emperor-class mermaid even if she did not manage to receive Lin Yuan’s affection.
The Goddess of Mercy felt a jumble of emotions now that the cage that had trapped her for years was about to be unlocked.
All of this had come from Lin Yuan.
If the Goddess of Mercy continued to interact with Lin Yuan after breaking through to emperor-class, she would not have to try to attain his affection. This was a huge psychological load off of her shoulders.
The Goddess of Mercy swished her tail until it was in front of her chest and bowed to Lin Yuan.
“Thank you, Lin Yuan! I won’t be able to return to the Freedom Federation. Despite coming to the Radiance Federation, I have no intention of becoming part of the Radiance Federation. Why don’t I stick with you from now on?”
The Goddess of Mercy spoke candidly to Lin Yuan. She knew that the Radiance Federation would never truly accept her and her style of doing things.
This was because the Radiance Federation’s members of royalty had rules that they had to uphold while she was used to doing as she pleased and never having to consider the consequences of her actions.
Rather than remaining in the Radiance Federation and having to be wary of the other members of royalty, the best choice for her would be to stay by Lin Yuan’s side.
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head.
“Goddess of Mercy, given your bloodline, you are now fully a mermaid. You intentionally eliminated your human bloodline long ago. The water world is enormous, and that is the true haven for mermaids. Rather than sticking with me, why don’t you go to the water world and live with other mermaids?
“That way, you’ll also be helping me to watch over the water world. Neither the Mirror God nor the God of Fools will be able to cause trouble for you if you’re in the water world. What do you think of my suggestion?”
The Goddess of Mercy was shocked when she heard what Lin Yuan said. She was aware that mermaids existed in the water world.
However, she ended up being blocked by the Mirror God and God of Fools time and time again, so she was eventually unable to make contact with the Azure Federation.
