2555 Sky-Plundering Flower!
Lin Yuan’s voice became serious. “I hope that you will be able to make the alien insects truly strong.”
“The alien insects aren’t intelligent enough to help you with strategy, but they will serve well as weapons. As of now, the alien insects only have the native genes of this world. I haven’t used the genes in the Demon Insect Lock Decoder on them.
“When I first arrived in this world, I was very weak. My body didn’t have the energy to activate the Demon Insect Lock Decoder. But now that I’m stronger, I can use the decoder to help the alien insects develop.
“The alien insects will not only be able to develop using the genes in the Demon Insect Lock Decoder, but they will also be able to trade with the genes of other species under your control. This will greatly accelerate their growth.
“With the genes of the demon insects, the alien insects’ Genetic Locks will be evolved. They will no longer be restricted by class and will be able to use their own strength to try and break through to the next level.
“However, I will need to feed back to these alien insects in order for them to attain the demon insect genes. I will only be able to feed back one alien insect a month. That is my limit.”
Excitement spread across Lin Yuan’s face.
The alien insects needed vitality and not any other type of element in order to increase their power.
This made it difficult for Lin Yuan to evolve the pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators using the Earth’s Sacred Fruit.
He could only inject source-type power into Mexa in order to help her reach the Afterlife Realm.
Luckily, the century-long agreement allowed Lin Yuan to easily attain source-type power.
From what Keira said, Lin Yuan knew that the alien insects could produce numerous Afterlife Realm experts in the future.
This was because Keira could evolve an insect empress’ Genetic Lock every month.
The alien insects’ Genetic Locks allowed their power structure to always remain in the shape of a pyramid. Every insect empress was the strongest that the alien insects had to offer.
Regardless of how talented the insect empresses were, they were unable to reach the Afterlife Realm due to their Genetic Locks.
Once the Genetic Locks were evolved, the restraints on the insect empresses’ Genetic Locks would be broken. At that time, there would suddenly be more insect Samsara Realm Dictators.
Once Keira was done describing the development of the alien insects, Lin Yuan asked, “You must be the one who created the crater behind the mountain. The Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood often flows out from there. What is this all about?”
Even in her prime, Keira could not enjoy the pure spirit qi that Lin Yuan could produce.
It was likely that only a gargantuan faction like Sky Beyond the Clouds would possess such pure spirit qi.
Thus, Keira was not surprised that Lin Yuan was aware of the Sky-Plundering Beast.
Each time demon insects evolved, they had to face a terrifying trial.
She had been grievously injured and had landed in this world without spirit qi because of her attempt to obtain the Sky-Plundering Beast. However, she was still very willing to answer Lin Yuan’s question about the blood.
Regardless of how precious the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood was, the pure spirit qi that Lin Yuan possessed was much more valuable.
Lin Yuan could casually take out almost 8,000 spirit qi crystals to help her to hatch. Thus, there was no way he would be stingy with sharing the Sky-Plundering Beast’s blood with the demon insects in the future.
With such pure spirit qi, Lin Yuan might even be able to enable the Sky-Plundering Beast to evolve again.
Keira began to tell Lin Yuan about the Sky-Plundering Beast. “Lord, when I landed in this world, I possessed the Demon Insect Lock Decoder and the Sky-Plundering Beast. Both of us were seriously injured.
“I sealed the Sky-Plundering Beast behind the mountain with a rock that only an Afterlife Realm expert could break through. It consumes the Sky-Plundering Flower, which blooms every decade. I planted a patch of Sky-Plundering Flowers in the hole behind the mountain.
“After going hungry a few times, the Sky-Plundering Beast learned to hold back on its consumption of the Sky-Plundering Flowers according to their flowering period. This has allowed it to survive.
“I made a deal with the Sky-Plundering Beast to set it free once I hatched and make sure that it never has to go hungry again. In exchange, it has been supplying me with its blood all these years. However, I have not been able to hold up my end of the deal and have let the Sky-Plundering Beast down.”
Based on what Keira said, Lin Yuan now understood the Sky-Plundering Beast’s situation. He also knew that it was a fey that kept its word.
Lin Yuan found it difficult to imagine a lifeform that could firmly trust in another lifeform for millions of years. It was even willing to continue tearing its skin to let its blood out when it was lacking food.
As Lin Yuan was about to take Keira with him to the back of the mountain so Eternal Source could break the rock and expose the Sky-Plundering Beast, she added, “I didn’t restrain the Sky-Plundering Beast and kept it separate from the pool where I was because I didn’t trust it.
“Specifically, I didn’t trust the alien insects I controlled through my Genetic Lock. This form of control isn’t absolute. In the face of a powerful temptation that is strong enough to threaten the lifeform’s safety or has the potential to help them evolve, the lifeform might be able to escape this binding.
“For example, when you used your martial power to threaten the insect empresses, they went against their Genetic Locks and chose to join you. There was also an incident in the past when a high-ranking insect empress saw the stone tablet as a treasure, and its greed allowed it to break free of its Genetic Lock.”
