2636 Rotted Bones into Fireflies!
Lin Yuan transported himself through the Space Tunnel to the Divine Wood Federation. He arrived in the underground palace that Hu Quan had painstakingly built.
Hu Quan had used a metal-type spiritual ingredient called Gilded Light Silver to surround the underground palace.
Gilded Light Silver had strong damping and fortification effects, and Lin Yuan could move the underground palace into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He also had plans to build a palace in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
This was firstly because the Spirit Lock spatial zone’s size would only increase as it continued to evolve. Moreover, when Morbius evolved into Myth Breed, the Spirit Lock spatial zone grew from a room into a small world. Having a palace there would befit this change in grandeur!
Hu Quan had asked Lin Yuan both about the construction and design of this palace, and Lin Yuan had added his own input.
Lin Yuan’s ideal palace was one that Hu Quan would carve out over a long period.
Silver Corona’s bone lotus flowers outside the underground palace were in prime bloom at the moment. Silver Corona flew over and sat down on Lin Yuan’s shoulder when it saw him.
Silver Corona had not seen Lin Yuan in a very long time.
Although Lin Yuan had used a different method to contract Silver Corona than he did his other feys, this did not change the fact that it was a lifeform he had contracted!
Silver Corona felt rather uneasy after seeing all the other feys being evolved to Suzerain/Myth.
Recently, it had been consuming dimensional lifeforms non-stop and was only a step away from reaching Myth Breed!
Silver Corona never expressed its emotions strongly. But at this moment, it held Lin Yuan’s face and nudged it with its own.
“Yuan, I reached Diamond X three months ago and have successfully evolved to Fantasy Breed! My bloodline is now the top amongst the six-winged fairies! Once I reach Myth Breed, my bloodline will be able to reach pinnacle six wings at the very least, or maybe even eight wings!”
Silver Corona had been very proud of the strength of its bloodline. But when it thought about Red Thorn’s bloodline, all of that pride crumbled away.
Although Silver Corona and Red Thorn were six-winged fairies and could be considered equals, Silver Corona always felt timid before Red Thorn.
It was certain that Red Thorn could become an eight-winged fairy when it evolved to Myth Breed! If it could not take that step when it evolved to Myth Breed, it would never be able to catch up to Red Thorn!
Silver Corona’s words caused Lin Yuan’s eyes to light up.
Silver Corona had finally evolved to Fantasy Breed! Unlike the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, it had not been stuck at Diamond X/Legend for a long time.
Lin Yuan immediately used True Data to check on Silver Corona.
[Fey Name]: Sea Burial Lotus Flower (Silver Corona)
[Fey Species]: Water Willow/Water Bone Lotus
[Fey Grade]: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Source/Fairy
[Fey Quality]: Fantasy IV
Abilities:
[Spotted Coral]: When trained according to the spots on the coral jade, different effects are generated.
1. Nurture Spot Style: Nurture the spots that were absorbed from the spotted coral jade in the Bone Lotus Flowers. The Bone Lotus Flowers will use a living being’s life and soul to nurture the spots to give them vitality. The spots with vitality can use the living being’s original strength to increase the strength and stamina of the Bone Lotus Flowers.
2. Burial Spot Style: Place the spots in between the Bone Lotus Flowers. The spots will eat the Bone Lotus Flowers and become bone insects. The bone insects will retain the spot’s abilities and can deal with attacks on the Bone Lotus Flowers according to their abilities. The external lifeforce will be absorbed, and their soul can also be absorbed when the external lifeforce is still weak.
[Bone Powder Mist]: The Bone Lotus Flowers will vomit out the living being’s bones that could not be digested. The bone powder will fly up into the sky and stay in the coral spots once it reaches a set thickness of layer.
[Blood Bone Insect Drunk]: While the bone insects eat, they enter a drunken state. When they’re in a drunken state, they will not feel any pain. The circulation of their root power will also slow down.
[Blooming Lotus]: The Bone Lotus Flowers’ structure will change and split into main lotuses and branch lotuses. The branch lotuses will strengthen combat power, while main lotuses will lose all combat power. Every time the main lotuses blooms, the spots will use the vitality they absorbed to produce a skeletal insect. The skeletal insect can consume them to repair the damage done to the body.
[Arrival of Grant of Death]: When the hermit’s dead servants cannot stand up against the enemies, they will change into the grants of death that place death penalties on the targets’ souls.
[Soul Parasite Rebirth]: The soul will be hosted in the main lotus. The main lotus will make a copy of the aura of the lifeform’s soul and vitality. When the target’s body and soul are damaged, the main lotus can be sacrificed while absorbing vitality and soul power to enable the target to be reborn. Once reborn, the target will be in a very weak state, and its soul and roots will also be diminished.
Exclusive Skill:
[Hermit’s Dead Servant]: The Bone Lotus Flower will absorb the target’s body when attacking it. 1% of the target’s power will be injected into the target’s soul to cause the target to be pregnant with its dead soul. The dead soul will consume itself, and when the Bone Lotus Flowers gain 36 hermit dead servants, every hermit dead servant will be able to create a layer of mist over the Bone Lotus Flowers.
[Rotted Bones into Fireflies]: Both vitality and death aura will be absorbed simultaneously. The vitality will turn into fireflies that will mend the sea of Bone Lotus Flowers. The death aura will increase the strength of every Bone Lotus Flower. If there is a pile of rotting bones below the Bone Lotus Flowers to supply nutrients to them, as long as the main lotus is alive, rotting lotuses will be produced from the rotting bones and energy will be saved!
Lin Yuan noticed that Silver Corona had reached Fantasy IV! All it needed to do was absorb sufficient energy, and it might be able to evolve to Fantasy V soon!
But what delighted Lin Yuan the most about Silver Corona’s True Data description was not its grade and quality but the exclusive skill it gained after reaching Fantasy Breed.
For all the lifeforms in the main world, the dead spirits crisis would be a cataclysmic calamity. But for Silver Corona, it would be a delicious feast.
Rotted Bones into Fireflies allowed Silver Corona to absorb death aura, meaning that the dead spirits would become part of its meals.
If he didn’t intervene during the disaster and let all the lifeforms in the area die, there was a high chance that Silver Corona would—after gathering power for centuries—become the savior who ended the dead spirits crisis!
With limited food available and Silver Corona’s ever-growing hunger, its food supply would eventually run out.
When Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he planned to plant Silver Corona by the entrance.
His original idea was to wait until he reached the Sky Beyond the Clouds before continuing to nurture Silver Corona. Once the five dimensional worlds merged with the main world, there wouldn’t be any more dimensional rifts opening up!
But now, Lin Yuan changed his mind. He could use this dead spirits crisis to nurture Silver Corona and help it to grow!
Lin Yuan found himself struggling to imagine the degree to which Silver Corona could grow by the time the dead spirits crisis ended.
Rotted Bones into Fireflies allowed Silver Corona to sustain itself using death aura. The death aura would turn into fireflies that tended to the sea of flowers. It would be able to achieve the greatest dream of plant lifeforms, which was to never wither!
Given the current size of the sea of flowers, it would not fit in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Even if it did fit, Lin Yuan did not want to leave Silver Corona in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
Spirit qi was no longer of much help to Silver Corona. Regardless of how large the Spirit Lock spatial zone became, Lin Yuan did not want to waste its resources.
The sea of bone lotus flowers could not be moved once they had spread out. Silver Corona could recover a portion of the energy by forcing the flowers to wither, but most of the energy would still be lost!
The only way to move Silver Corona would be to instruct Sweet Vanquish and the other Samsara Realm Land Imps to integrate iron boards into the ground and shift the entire palace with all the bone lotus flowers along with it!
This would be no small undertaking and not even Lin Yuan would come to such a decision easily.
Suddenly, an idea formed in Lin Yuan’s mind. Why not plant Silver Corona in the seabed between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent? The environment at the seabed would be much more comfortable for Silver Corona than on land!
When Lin Yuan first found Silver Corona, it had been a plant-type carcinoma fey growing in the sea.
Lin Yuan’s gift to the Vast Sea Labyrinth would be planting Silver Corona in the sea between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent. It would be a way of thanking them for supplying the Island Whales to help the humans with their crisis.`
If Silver Corona’s main body was separated from the sea of bone lotus flowers, its consumption rate would decline. Thus, Silver Corona did not head to Thick Soil City with Lin Yuan and stayed put to continue increasing its power and to strive to evolve to Myth Breed.
Lin Yuan had made sure to remind Silver Corona not to rush to evolve to Myth Breed but to focus on accumulating its power instead so that it could use the dead spirits to evolve to eight wings before attempting another breakthrough.
Silver Corona nodded obediently when it heard that. It also preferred to grow its fourth pair of wings during its evolution to Myth Breed rather than trying to evolve to Myth Breed as soon as possible!
That way, it would not have to keep its head down around Red Thorn when they were both by Lin Yuan’s side in the future!
…
The first thing that Lin Yuan did after arriving in Thick Soil City was head to the City Lord’s residence. There was one of the Ethereal Jellyfish’s tentacle nodes there.
He did not need to be inspected before he entered Thick Soil City. Otherwise, given how infrequently he came to Thick Soil City, there was no certainty the guards could recognize him!
Lin Yuan had already informed Ta Lei he would be coming, and the former was waiting for him in the meeting room with Qin Yu.
After a short interlude of faint spatial fluctuations, Lin Yuan’s body appeared in the meeting room.
When Qin Yu first arrived to help Ta Lei, they had been around the same height. But now, Lin Yuan realized Qin Yu was already taller than Ta Lei by almost a head! His originally stick-thin body had also filled out with muscle.
Lin Yuan patted Qin Yu and Ta Lei’s shoulders. It had to be hard on them to manage all the operations of a mega city like Thick Soil City!
Su Yiren had brought up Ta Lei. She determined that he possessed some talent for governance but was only suited to maintaining the status quo. He was not capable of dealing with risky endeavors or breaking new ground.
This might sound like she was undermining him, but she was already being very generous!
There always had to be a member of the Astronomical Parliament in the main world. Ta Lei was very suited to watching over the entire main world from Thick Soil City.
Rather, it was Qin Yu who took Lin Yuan by surprise.
Qin Yu had only spent a few months following Listen around before he came to assist Ta Lei. Previously, he ran a small fey store and had not had any opportunities to train himself at all.
But after going to Ta Lei, Qin Yu had managed to endure the change in environment and had not caused any trouble. A few months later, he was already very adept at his responsibilities!
Even Lin Yuan did not think he could match up to Qin Yu in terms of adaptability and rate of learning.
Someone like Qin Yu only needed someone to nurture him, and he would definitely become capable of big things!
Lin Yuan placed Qin Yu at the highest rank of priority to be nurtured amongst Sky City’s members.
Both Ta Lei and Qin Yu had been saved by Lin Yuan when they were on the brink of death, so they felt immense gratitude and respect towards him.
Lin Yuan had not only saved Qin Lun and Ta Lei but was also nurturing Qin Yu’s younger brother, Qin Lun.
Because of Lin Yuan, Qin Lun did not need to brave the cold selling plum branches in order to earn money to buy medicine.
Before Lin Yuan saved Qin Yu, his biggest dream had been to send Qin Lun to school.
Now, Lin Yuan had fulfilled that dream.
Lin Yuan had saved Ta Lei and changed his entire tribe. Now, they did not have to be bullied by anyone and were seen as the leaders of Thick Soil City!
The help that Lin Yuan had given their families was more impactful than saving their lives.
Lin Yuan’s patting of their shoulders indicated he acknowledged them. This thrilled both Ta Lei and Qin Yu.
Ta Lei knew that Lin Yuan was very busy and immediately began talking about official business.
“Teacher, I have organized everyone in Thick Soil City. When will we, just like the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation, be able to migrate? Sister Luo Lan has arrived at the Great Lush Federation’s harbor, and the Island Whales have begun moving.”
After discussing with the Moon Empress, Lin Yuan decided to combine the main world with the dimensional worlds.
Now, aside from those in Thick Soil City, no humans were found in the Startling Lines Continent.
Lin Yuan was silent momentarily before saying, “You don’t have to move the people out of Thick Soil City. I will turn the entire Startling Lines Continent into an impenetrable fortress within 20 days. Before the crisis of dead spirits begins, I will send at least 10 Samsara Realm Dictators and 100 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to guard and protect Thick Soil City!”
