2648 The Moon Empress’ Sense of Security! This natural advantage was what allowed humans to rule over the land and all the feys that lived on it, as well as stand toe-to-toe against the sea clans! Lin Yuan’s mermaid bloodline might seem stronger than his human one but he saw his human bloodline as his true bloodline. “Eternal Source, I will be sending the Abyss Great Emperor away to transform him. During this time, you can stay in the Radiant Moon Palace! Don’t forget to make my master’s safety your top priority. If you do this well, I will help you take another step forward! The Afterlife Realm won’t be the ceiling of your power.” Eternal Source was ecstatic when he heard what Lin Yuan said. It meant that he was an important asset to Lin Yuan. Otherwise, he would not assign him such an important task. Eternal Source had been feeling rather enlightened ever since he reached the Afterlife Realm. Now that he had reached the Afterlife Realm, he could see the vast majesty of the world that had opened up to him! He had been the strongest Samsara Realm Dictator in the marsh world. Confidence was not something he lacked. But now, there was a fact that he needed to accept. This fact was that he would not be able to move on from the Afterlife Realm through his own effort and potential. Truthfully, he was only able to reach the Afterlife Realm with Lin Yuan’s help as well. He knew that without the pure source-type power that Lin Yuan had given him, he would not be able to reach the Afterlife Realm even after another few thousand years passed. Lin Yuan’s trust in him was one matter. But Lin Yuan was also willing to provide him with benefits. This proved that Lin Yuan truly saw him as a close subordinate. Given that Lin Yuan was willing to provide him with the resources to evolve past the Afterlife Realm, he would also be willing to continue nurturing him to even greater heights. “Young Master, don’t worry. As long as I’m alive, I will not allow any danger to befall your master.” Eternal Source did not give a guarantee because he knew that Lin Yuan was a pragmatic person. He could not make any grounded guarantees when his opponent was the Eight Pages of Tower Canon. But by saying this, it showed his earnesty and resolution. Eternal Source had learned a fair amount after his extended interactions with humans. The way that he addressed Lin Yuan had also changed from ‘Lord’ to ‘Young Master’. This came from his observation that only those who were truly close to Lin Yuan called him by his name. Eternal Source yearned to enter that inner circle. Lin Yuan patted Eternal Source’s shoulder. He was very satisfied with Eternal Source’s answer. Lin Yuan would take Chu Ci into the Spirit Lock spatial zone and she would live there safely until Tower Canon was dealt with. The pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone would also strengthen Chu Ci’s power. It made no difference whether one contracted the Lifespan Mouse earlier or later in life. But if one formed a contract with it earlier, they would be able to retain the looks of their younger self! Once Chu Ci and Wen Yu were back, Lin Yuan intended to give Chu Ci, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and his other close ones a Lifespan Mouse each so they could accumulate as much lifespan as possible. Due to the limited supply of the Lifespan Mouse and because Lin Yuan had already given the Moon Empress many of them, the non-key members of Sky City such as the white-clothed followers would not be able to contact the Lifespan Mouse anytime soon. However, Lin Yuan had already sent instructions to collate the ages of all the white-clothed followers. He would make sure that every one of them contracted the Lifespan Mouse before they came to the end of their lifespans. Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and the rest still needed to train and this dead spirits crisis would be the best training environment. Based on Lin Yuan’s understanding of Chu Ci, it was likely that she also intended on using the dead spirits crisis to train herself. However, she was still too young and weak. She did not have the capabilities to be a leader. Lin Yuan would only be able to lay his worries to rest if he knew that she was in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Apart from Chu Ci, the Moon Empress was Lin Yuan’s closest loved one. As a member of the Radiance Federation’s royalty who was also overseeing operations of the entire Radiance Federation, there was no way that she would agree to take shelter in the Spirit Lock spatial zone during such a time. Lin Yuan could think on behalf of Chu Ci and tell her what to do but he could not do the same to the Moon Empress. Assigning Eternal Source to protect the Moon Empress was the most that he could do for her. The strongest protector that Lin Yuan could send was an Afterlife Realm expert like Eternal Source. With Eternal Source protecting the Moon Empress, even if Tower Canon secretly ambushed her, Lin Yuan would be able to use the Ethereal Jellyfish’s Node Transportation to transport himself to the Moon Empress’ side immediately while Eternal Source was fending Tower Canon off. This was not the first time that Lin Yuan had patted Eternal Source’s shoulder but this time, Eternal Source felt a greater sense of security than he ever felt before because Lin Yuan had given him assurance. Before Lin Yuan exhibited his power, Eternal Source assumed that he was the strongest combat power that Lin Yuan had. But as he spent more time by Lin Yuan’s side and learned more about the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he knew that his power would not seem as impressive there. When Eternal Source found out that Keira was a lifeform from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he immediately began communicating with her. Most of Eternal Source’s unease appeared after Keira appeared. Keira had sensed Eternal Source’s unease but she still told him about her circumstances. This was the only way to convince Eternal Source to empathize with her. Keira was only trying to become acquainted with Eternal Source. Whether this gave him a sense of security or made him more anxious was his own problem. When he arrived at the entrance of the Resting Moon Palace, Lin Yuan saw the Moon Empress standing there with the Abyss Great Emperor. There was anxiousness written all over her face and she kept peering into Resting Moon Palace. Lin Yuan had never seen the Moon Empress in such a state. Before the Moon Empress could move over to his side, he reached her first and said softly, “Master, you don’t have to worry. I have handled Tarot Round Table. You don’t need to worry about them anymore!” The Moon Empress had arrived at the Resting Moon Palace after Lin Yuan and she had been waiting by the entrance for less than an hour. Yet, he had already settled the matter! Indeed, the Moon Empress could not sense any energy fluctuations coming from within Resting Moon Palace’s inner palace and thought. It looks like there’s no need for me to step in. Otherwise, I would still be able to feel some energy fluctuations. The Moon Empress was finally able to relax when she saw Lin Yuan. But given the magnitude of this matter, the Moon Empress still asked Lin Yuan, “Little Yuan, did Tarot Round Table make more unreasonable requests? You can tell me if they tried to threaten you. I’ll help you to come up with a plan. If I fuse with Forage Moon, I will be just as strong as a spirit fire expert!” The Moon Empress looked at Lin Yuan kindly. He could see determination in her gaze. He did not know what it meant for Forage Moon to fuse with the Moon Empress. But it would require a huge price for a birth horoscope expert to unleash spirit fire power! Lin Yuan hurriedly told the Moon Empress, “Master, Tarot Round Table did make some insane demands. They wanted each of them to occupy a federation. The Spirit Mother of the Spirit Mother Federation is also a member of Tarot Round Table. They want to be worshipped by a federation the same way that the Spirit Mother is worshipped by the Spirit Mother Federation. But they had no intention of shouldering the responsibilities that come with it. From their intentions, it’s clear that their final goal is to take control of the entire human world and gain more decision-making authority in the human world.” The Moon Empress froze when she heard what Lin Yuan said. If Tarot Round Table truly had such intentions, it was unlikely that there was anyone in the human world who be able to oppose them. The Mirror God and God of Fools from the Freedom Federation had both set their spirit fire alight. With them and the Radiance Federation’s Spacetime Elder, there would only be three spirit fire experts. The Moon Empress had not included the spirit fire expert from the Azure Federation. It would not be strange if the Azure Federation chose to side with Tarot Round Table after learning of their power. Even if the Azure Federation, Radiance Federation, and Freedom Federation banded together and the four spirit fire experts were able to stand up to Tarot Round Table, Tarot Round Table had far too many birth horoscope experts. Before the Moon Empress’ worries could grow, Lin Yuan said seriously, “Master, I have eliminated all of the people from Tarot Round Table! You know that I have taken control of Di Wanmi’s corpse and am continuing to use her as a Class 5 Creation Master. I can use a similar method to control the people from Tarot Round Table. They will become just as obedient as Di Wanmi and contribute to the defense against the dead spirits crisis!” Lin Yuan immediately began describing to the Moon Empress everything he had done and thought of in the Resting Moon Palace. This would prevent her from becoming worried because of any misunderstandings she had. Astonishment spread across the Moon Empress’ face. At this moment, Lin Yuan’s image in the Moon Empress’ mind was once again refreshed. But regardless, the Moon Empress knew that Lin Yuan was her disciple. She turned and helped him to adjust his already-neat collar before she waved and said, “Little Yuan, the other members of the Radiance Federation’s royalty also knew about Tarot Round Table’s experts staying in the Resting Moon Palace. I will hold an imperial meeting to tell them about what happened. You…” The Moon Empress had been filled with happiness after learning about the power he possessed. But at the same time, she felt the slightest hint of bitterness. She was the master yet she was being protected by her disciple! The Moon Empress had only been able to enjoy the feeling of guiding Lin Yuan and holding question-and-answer sessions with him for a little over a year. At this moment, the Moon Empress sensed that Eternal Source was standing behind her. He seemed to be intending on following her. She turned to look back at him before she shifted her gaze over to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan smiled and waved at her as he said, “Master, Eternal Source will be your bodyguard from now on. He will protect you! Don’t worry about me. My safety is assured!” When the Moon Empress heard the first part of what Lin Yuan said, she was about to turn him down when she heard the second part of what he said and could not stop herself from taking in a sharp breath. She waved back silently to Lin Yuan. When she turned back, the smile on her face was faint but her heart was extremely warm. The warmest feeling she had ever experienced in her life thus far came from this disciple of hers. After the Moon Empress left, Lin Yuan got in touch with Qin Yu. All the Land Imps had been sent to the Startling Lines Continent and were being managed by Qin Yu. These Land Imps had the experience of building the Radiance Federation’s base so Qin Yu did not need to spend a lot of time guiding them. However, he did need to supervise them. The building of the Startling Lines Continent’s base was extremely important and Lin Yuan needed to check on the progress. Moreover, he was done with his discussion with Vast Sea Labyrinth. Lin Yuan needed to create a space near the Radiance Federation to house the sea clans before the experts from Vast Sea Labyrinth arrived. Vast Sea Labyrinth’s biggest worry was that they would arrive at the Radiance Federation and the dead spirits crisis would begin before Lin Yuan combined the main world with the five dimensional worlds. If that happened, the migration of the sea clans would be for naught. Lin Yuan knew why Ice Flow, Ice Clarity, and Ice Flow made many requests despite knowing that doing so would give the humans more advantage over them. Lin Yuan was very willing to show his sincerity to this partner who would be helping him to take on the dead spirits crisis. Moreover, Lin Yuan already intended on building a platform at the bottom of the sea so the Sea Burial Lotus Flower would be able to create a sea of Bone Lotus Flowers there and use the dead spirits crisis to increase its power. Ever since Lin Yuan gave this important task to Qin Yu, Qin Yu had treasured this chance. Every day, he reported everything that happened before he went to bed. Hence, he was very detailed in his answers to Lin Yuan’s questions. In this regard, Qin Yu did a much better job than Ta Lei. Previously, Lin Yuan always felt that Ta Lei’s competence was lacking because he had no one to help him. But now, it seemed that this was not the case as Qin Yu was also alone with no one to help him. The laying down of the metal-type stone boards in the Radiance Federation had already been completed. Lin Yuan sent a message to Qin Yu. [Lin Yuan]: Ah Yu, it looks like you have a good grip over the 15 million Land Imps. I will send you another 12 million Land Imps around three days later. Bring Sweet Vanquish with you to receive them. Qin Yu was over the moon when he received Lin Yuan’s message. The more jobs Lin Yuan assigned to him, the more he felt validated in his capabilities. [Qin Yu]: Young Master, that is no problem at all. The Land Imps you sent me have done so well. The laying down of the metal-type stone boards in the Startling Lines Continent is already almost 80% complete. I intend on finishing the project with these 15 million Land Imps. I will send the 12 million Land Imps to the bottom of the sea to lay down the metal-type stone boards there. I hope you can assign some experts from the sea clans to me. I need them to create an environment that will be conducive for the Land Imps to work in! I noticed that in spite of the Land Imps’ cowardly natures, they will do whatever they can to play sly tricks and find loopholes. If we don’t provide them with a comfortable environment, their speed will decline and I’m worried that they will take shortcuts.
