Chapter 3021: Yi He’s Invitation!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The circumstances surrounding Merciful Soul and Gray’s evolution to the Holy Spirit level were completely different.
Gray did not suffer much when it stepped into the Holy Spirit level and naturally completed the transformation of its grade. Unlike Merciful Soul, which had its body reconstructed when it stepped into the Holy Spirit level.
During the process of reconstructing its body, Merciful Souls had always been very unyielding in remaining in its human form.
The beautiful skin of Merciful Soul, from complete to badly mangled to complete, underwent several transformations.
However, Merciful Soul did not make any sound. It allowed its body to disintegrate continuously and slowly perfect itself as it disintegrated again and again.
Merciful Soul seemed to be enjoying this feeling.
Lin Yuan was secretly amazed by the tenacity of Merciful Souls. Only creatures with exceptional tenacity could use their abilities to control the souls of other creatures.
Merciful Soul said softly to Lin Yuan after it had completed its advancement, “Master, thank you for nurturing me. You’ve nurtured me to such a powerful state. I hope to have a chance to display my strength in the future so that I can unleash my abilities like your other feys!”
Lin Yuan knew that Merciful Soul was somewhat dissatisfied with his previous arrangements, or rather, helpless.
Previously, Lin Yuan had indeed not given Merciful Soul a chance to display its abilities. However, Lin Yuan would not be like before. Lin Yuan was very willing to allow Merciful Soul.
Now that Lin Yuan had brought in a low-grade and mid-grade blessed land, North of the Lonely River had become a rich and prosperous place.
In addition, with Season Cycle, Cleansing Breath Soil, Business Flourishing Flower, and other legendary presences, even top factions would want to fight for North of the Lonely River.
Lin Yuan had gone to nurture Merciful Soul so early because he wanted it to increase North of the Lonely River’s luck through Steal the Fate of a Nation.
The increase in the region’s luck would allow all the lifeforms in this area to obtain benefits. Not only could the members of Sky City be strengthened by the increase in luck, but most importantly, the lifeforms in the faith country would also be affected by the increase in luck.
At that time, there would definitely be some extremely outstanding prodigies in the faith country!
The members of the faith country could also be considered direct descendants of Sky City. They were worthy of Lin Yuan’s future nurturing!
Since Lin Yuan had come to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he couldn’t mobilize manpower from the main world to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The faith country had basically become the only way for Lin Yuan to select members for Sky City.
“Merciful Soul, it’s true that I didn’t give you any chance to showcase your abilities previously, but from now on, I can let you continue to showcase your talents! In a while, I’ll specially arrange an area for you. You can transfer the luck of the land outside the plains of North of the Lonely River to this area.
“You’ve reached the Holy Spirit level and obtained a new divine kingdom ability to channel and forge the land. This divine kingdom can allow you not to only rely on your ability to steal luck to obtain luck. Even if you have the exclusive skill Payment in Life to offset it and the Lifespan Mouse can always provide you with lifespan, your lifespan is still not enough when you frequently steal luck.
“In North of the Lonely River, you can’t use Pouring Fortune Forging Earth. When I go out to train in the future, I’ll bring you out with me. At that time, you can use the living beings you charm and control to refine the swords of fortune to steal the luck of the world to strengthen North of the Lonely River.”
The power of Merciful Soul’s divine kingdom ability Pouring Fortune Forging Earth brought Lin Yuan a pleasant surprise.
With the power of Merciful Soul’s divine kingdom ability Pouring Fortune Forging Earth, North of the Lonely River was destined to have more and more luck!
It was very easy for Merciful Soul to charm a lifeform. Furthermore, Merciful Soul’s refinement of the swords of fortune did not cause much damage to itself.
When it heard that Lin Yuan was going to bring it out, Merciful Soul looked exceptionally happy.
As Lin Yuan’s contracted fey, Merciful Soul had a very deep relationship with him.
However, Merciful Soul was too reserved and did not reveal its emotions.
However, Merciful Soul wanted to stay by Lin Yuan’s side.
After staying in Sky City for nearly four months, Lin Yuan felt that he should go out and train for some time.
In the past few months, the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting had been held a few more times and Lin Yuan had given more Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen to Ruyi.
Ruyi had officially become a core member of Sky City!
However, because the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds had yet to break through to World Emperor, the effects of the divine kingdom pollen were limited. It was not enough to completely remove the curse in Ruyi’s body.
However, after Lin Yuan explained the situation to Ruyi, he promised Ruyi that he would help her remove the curse within half a year.
Originally, Ruyi did not trust Lin Yuan. After all, both Lin Yuan and the Astronomical Parliament had appeared too suddenly.
However, after Lin Yuan provided Ruyi with the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen for the second time, which was stronger than the first time, Ruyi believed Lin Yuan.
Neither her parents nor the Carp Mystic Palace could do anything about the curse in her body. Lin Yuan was the only way out.
Ruyi was prepared to wait until the curse in her body was completely removed before finding a suitable reason to tell her parents about the situation.
Since Lin Yuan had his own people, he did not allow Wen Yu to recruit new people during the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meetings.
Now that everything was in the development stage, there was no need to rush.
The species that Lin Yuan had subdued in the Coiling Dragon Mountain had all moved to North of the Lonely River.
North of the Lonely River became lively and prosperous.
Sky City had deliberately held an internal meeting with the core members of the hundreds of powerful species to consider how to settle them down.
If these species were allowed to occupy land as kings in various parts of North of the Lonely River, even if these species all listened to Lin Yuan’s orders, it was inevitable that there would be some problems in the future. If the territorial consciousness of these species was preserved, it would be very difficult for these species to eliminate their wildness.
This was because these species living in North of the Lonely River were not only facing Lin Yuan but also the core members of Sky City, as well as the other races and the residents living in the country of faith.
After some discussion, Lin Yuan felt that the best way to eliminate the wildness of these races was to disperse them and integrate them into the faith country as family clans.
Changing the way of life of these communities was indeed a process.
It was very likely that some accidents would happen during this period. If these species that were already under Lin Yuan’s control could not fuse perfectly in the faith country, they would always cause trouble. Then, these species that existed in the form of family clans would be eliminated!
Lin Yuan’s decision did not exploit the interests of these species. These species would integrate into the faith country in the manner of family clans and become famous families in the faith country.
At this moment, the faith country was gradually opening up the chamber of commerce and the trade chain of resources.
Having these species was very helpful for the development of the faith country.
Now that he had made the decision, it was up to him to carry it out.
Lin Yuan would only bring Winter with him when he went out. Spring and Summer would remain in Sky City.
Even if these species were unwilling, they could not cause any trouble!
Ling Muzhuo had contacted Lin Yuan several times during this period of time. He had contacted Lin Yuan to invite him to attend a private trade fair organized by the Fortune Treasure Palace for special honor guests.
Lin Yuan was not interested in such a private trade fair at all.
Given Lin Yuan’s current relationship with the Fortune Treasure Palace, if he wanted any resources, even if Lin Yuan did not participate in this so-called trade fair, the Fortune Treasure Palace would still trade resources with him.
The core purpose of participating in this trade fair was actually to deepen the connection between Fortune Treasure Palace and the special honor guests. It also provided a channel for communication between the special honor guests.
Lin Yuan had lost interest in getting to know more people in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Unless Ling Muzhuo introduced the Creators whose lifespans were reaching their end, Lin Yuan was not prepared to accept Ling Muzhuo’s invitation.
Lin Yuan did not agree to Ling Muzhuo’s request, but he made a huge transaction with him.
Lin Yuan had been using spirit qi crystals during the transactions.
Morbius had been helping Lin Yuan collect spirit qi crystals. As the number of members in the faith country increased, Lin Yuan also provided a stable living environment for the citizens of the faith country. As a result, there were often people who broke through in the faith country.
Even though these people from the faith country would gather together to increase their strength, Morbius was still a little busy.
Lin Yuan had so many spirit qi crystals that the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was so tired that it rolled its eyes.
After such a long time, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was still responsible for the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Lin Yuan had never intentionally increased the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope’s strength. As usual, he fed it two wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls every day.
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was only a step away from reaching Immortal.
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope absorbed pure spirit qi every day. Coupled with top-notch resources like heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, it took decades to reach the peak of Creation Breed. The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope seemed to be improving very slowly, but in fact, its speed of improvement was much faster than other feys.
There were already hundreds of thousands of boxes of spirit qi crystals in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Each box contained six-figure spirit qi crystals. These resources were the reason why Lin Yuan dared to develop his faith country!
Without these resources, even if Lin Yuan had Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter by his side, he probably would not even have the embryonic form of a faith country.
He could not produce resources and relied on plundering to obtain resources. He would be destined to have a large number of enemies. With too many enemies targeting Sky City, it was inevitable that some accidents would happen over time.
Just as Lin Yuan was thinking about where to train, Yi He, a Grade 5 Creator, contacted him through the ramet of the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower.
The moment the call connected, Lin Yuan heard Yi He say, “Young Master, you previously told me that you’re preparing to gather more Creators under your command. I happen to be attending a Creator’s academic conference. Are you interested in attending?
“There will be at least three Grade 5 Creators participating in this meeting of
Creators, including Creators who have already fallen into the curse of lifespan.”
Before Yi He and Lin Yuan parted ways, he had addressed Lin Yuan as ‘young friend’. Now, when he contacted Lin Yuan, he called him ‘Young Master Lin Yuan’ because Yi He had completely straightened out his position after this period of time.
Yi He remembered how Winter addressed Lin Yuan, so he simply addressed him the same way.
Lin Yuan’s expression changed when he heard Yi He’s words. The Creators’ meeting that Yi He mentioned was much more attractive to Lin Yuan than the private transaction held by Fortune Treasure Palace.
Sky City had indeed introduced new Creators, but there were still too few of them.
The creation of the Floating Island Whale embryo alone took up almost all the time of Zhong Zhiyu, a Grade 5 Creator, and the other four Grade 4 Creators.
If they could recruit more advanced Creators for Sky City, Sky City’s development in advanced resources would definitely be much faster than it was now!
With the recommendation of a Grade 5 Creator like Yi He, it should be easier to pull other Creators into Sky City.
Lin Yuan decided to head to Yi He’s location and participate in the academic conference with him.
“Senior Yi He, I will arrive at the coordinates you gave me in two days. Thank you for thinking of me when something like this happens!”
Yi He’s way of addressing Lin Yuan had changed, but Lin Yuan’s attitude toward him did not change at all. He still gave Yi He enough respect, which made Yi He very happy.
“Young Master, I’m also a member of a faction now. It’s my duty to think for our faction! A few of the people participating in this meeting are my old friends. I’ll invite them. The probability of them joining is very high. There’s no need to use any methods. As for the others, I think it’s better to use some methods. Otherwise, such a precious opportunity will be wasted!”
Yi He was a very straightforward person. After confirming his position, all his actions would follow his position.
Ever since Yi He had joined Sky City under Lin Yuan’s command, all of Yi He’s actions were in line with Sky City’s interests.
If a few Creators could join Sky City during this academic conference, it would be a gift in return for Lin Yuan’s help in resolving the problem of lifespan!
“Senior Yi He, I will naturally make preparations. However, it’s not appropriate for me to forcefully pull them into Sky City. I’m still more inclined to those Creators with insufficient lifespans. Because joining Sky City is a mutually beneficial thing.”
Yi He was somewhat surprised by Lin Yuan’s words. He did not expect Lin Yuan, who had less than 50 years of lifespan, to be so reliable and not be blinded by the benefits in front of him.
Only with such a temperament and structure could he achieve great things..
