2266 Return to Ruins’ Goal! There were also many who approached East Glow in the hopes of convincing it to link them up. Benefits definitely needed to be offered in order to set up an intentional connection, especially when this matter involved or not they could become followers of a Dictator. The Apostles had all made numerous promises to East Glow. They promised that if they could ever become Dictator Ten Thousand Source’s followers, they would definitely continue to respect East Glow and stand by it. East Glow felt that these were acceptable. It had already spent the majority of its resources buying up the marsh soil. Although the marsh soil was not expensive, and East Glow could easily trade for a large amount of them, it had gathered an overwhelming quantity. East Glow felt that it could borrow resources from these Apostles who wanted to follow Lin Yuan to trade for as many source totems as possible. Lin Yuan’s rewards consisted of small and big source fruits. East Glow was unsure if it would allow resources like the big and small source fruits to reach unloyal Apostles. Thus, East Glow dared not make promises involving the big source fruits and small source fruits. However, if these Apostles managed to become Lin Yuan’s followers, such decisions would be out of East Glow’s hands. As such, East Glow could let the related information go out. The veteran Apostles had lived for thousands of years and were all old foxes. Thus, they could understand East Glow’s intention to keep secrets. Everything was going very smoothly. For a brighter future, the veteran Apostles who had enjoyed comfort were willing to sacrifice everything they had. East Glow not only traded for resources with these Apostles who wanted to follow Lin Yuan but had also held an internal meeting of Marsh East Palace. East Glow led the meeting and exerted pressure on the other Apostles to successfully trade for all of the source totems in the treasure vaults for low prices. East Glow did not hide what it was doing from Lin Yuan and revealed all of its recent achievements. This was because it would be a very good way to show that it was competent. Lin Yuan was very excited as he listened to East Glow’s reports and secretly gave East Glow a large reward. However, his expression did not change as he continued to calmly listen to East Glow’s report on its achievements of late. When East Glow finished speaking, it peeked up at Lin Yuan’s face. At that moment, East Glow felt a warm strength flow into its body as its body rapidly came alive. All of the hidden injuries in its body slowly started to heal, while this strength unlocked its body’s potential. As a reward, Lin Yuan had gifted East Glow 100 units of pure source-type power. This was to reward East Glow for the big help it had provided him but also because Lin Yuan intended to properly nurture East Glow. East Glow was only one step away from reaching Dictator. Out of all of Lin Yuan’s followers, East Glow had the potential to become a Dictator the fastest. If he could nurture a Dictator in the marsh world, many things would become much easier to manage. Lin Yuan, although not a genuine Dictator himself, had the ability to convince dimensional lifeforms that he was one, thanks to Dark Blue. With Dark Blue’s power, Lin Yuan could enhance the abilities of White Speak, and he could do the same for East Glow. Once East Glow achieved the breakthrough to Dictator level and received the boost from Lin Yuan, he would become another formidable expert with Eternal power under Lin Yuan’s command. Compared to the Eternal weapons that Red Thorn controlled through its Tongue of Relinquish, East Glow was a living and breathing expert who could accomplish many tasks with more convenience. Thus, it could better protect Lin Yuan’s territory. “You’ve done well and met my expectations. This is my reward to you,” said Lin Yuan. East Glow bowed to Lin Yuan to express its respect and gratitude as it began to carefully use the 100 units of source-type power to evolve itself. In the past, White Speak would surely start to panic when it saw Lin Yuan paying so much attention to East Glow. But after its long talk with Lin Yuan—when Lin Yuan told White Speak about his hopes for it—all of White Speak’s worries were set at ease. No matter how strong East Glow was, it was still only White Speak’s assistant. White Speak had never wanted to grow as badly as it did now. In the past, White Speak only wanted to increase its power. But now, it also wanted to learn. Once East Glow was done absorbing the pure source-type power, it remembered its main reason for coming and hurriedly said, “Lord Dictator, there is accurate information saying that Dictator Return to Ruins is headed for the Marsh East Circle to attend the Banquet of Everything. “We’re not the ones who found out about this information. Many Apostles headed for the Marsh East Circle know about it. So, I think that Dictator Return to Ruins was the one who released the news of his attendance himself.” Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard what East Glow said, and he balled up his fist. White Speak had almost died at Prayer Glow’s hands. If Lin Yuan had not sent Begin Lady over in time, White Speak would have stopped breathing long ago. It was likely that if that had happened, White Speak’s source totem would have been traded by Prayer Glow at the Banquet of Everything. Prayer Glow had acted under Dictator Return to Ruins’ name. Hence, White Speak could not help but be affected by the mention of Dictator Return to Ruins’ name. It went without saying that Lin Yuan was also aware of this. Hence, he not only had no positive feelings toward Dictator Return to Ruins, but he even labeled Dictator Return to Ruins as an enemy. If a Dictator wanted to hide their tracks, there was no way that an Apostle would be able to find them. If a Dictator’s movements were known, it could only be because they had released the information themselves. It was just like how Lin Yuan had done so much to get the word out about being a Dictator. It was apparent that Dictator Return to Ruins was not coming to attend the Banquet of Everything just to trade for resources. He had to have another goal. Although Lin Yuan had intentionally spread the word about the small and big source fruits, there was no way that the news would spread so quickly as to already have reached Dictator Return to Ruins, who was located in the Marsh West Circle. Hence, there was no way that Dictator Return to Ruins was coming because of Lin Yuan. There could only be one possible Dictator who attracted the attendance of another Dictator. It seemed that Dictator Return to Ruins had set his sights on Dictator Everything.
