2375 Mountain Ridge Source’s Worries! But when Extreme Ocean thought about how Lin Yuan had somehow managed to get his hands on the two rulers’ offspring’s source totem, Extreme Ocean could not help but cough and push down all his mutinous thoughts as he resolved to follow Lin Yuan’s order to go through with the poisoning! Otherwise, it would be a small matter if the Samsara Realm Dictators just attacked him. But if he was killed, all the hardship he had gone through in turning himself from a regular dimensional lifeform into who he was today would have been for nothing. He had not even had the chance to spend time with his new concubines yet! Extreme Ocean was furious with Isa and the other Turning Wheel Realm Dictators. They were all his subordinates, and he believed that he treated them well. If not for him, there was no way any of them would have been able to live as comfortably as they were. Out of the four of them, he lavished the most affection on Grass Wave. If not for his help, her enemies would have killed her immediately after becoming a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator. There was no way she could have successfully passed through the period of weakness. Yet, she was now scheming alongside the rest of them. If only she had secretly sent messages to him, he would never have ended up in the predicament that he was currently in! But in spite of his fury, he would never lay a hand on any of them. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Extreme Ocean could tell that Lin Yuan was not the type to tolerate misbehavior by his subordinates. If he sought revenge on Grass Wave, Isa, and the rest at such a time, Lin Yuan would definitely be displeased. This would not only affect his position but might even result in punishment. Lin Yuan did not know just how much Extreme Ocean hated Isa and the rest. Even if he knew, he would not exchange the lives of Isa and the rest just to make Extreme Ocean happy. Once he found the water world’s two Endless Gems, the entire water world would fall into his hands just like the marsh world was. While on the way to Mermaid Forbidden Sea, Lin Yuan noticed that the amount of coral in the sea was increasing. There were also clam-species dimensional lifeforms swimming around the corals. Various beautifully colored tentacles would reach out from the shells that changed colors when they made contact with the corals. This meant that there were predators of clams among the corals as clams only developed such an ability to help them during times of danger. The closer they got to Mermaid Forbidden Sea, the fewer ugly sea beasts and strange invertebrates there were. According to the records, mermaids were a type of dimensional lifeform with a high standard of beauty. The existence of any ugly creatures in their living area would affect their moods. Thus, they usually chased all ugly creatures out of the area where they lived or killed those who refused to leave. Although Lin Yuan possessed the mermaid emperor bloodline, he did not believe that he had such inclinations. He was tolerant of all types of appearances. Lin Yuan instructed Eternal Source to retract his aura to see if this could lead to him bumping into a mermaid. This would allow him to verify if the facade he put up with Dark Blue’s help and which managed to deceive the Goddess of Mercy would also be able to pull the wool over real mermaids. Apart from authenticating his bloodline, Lin Yuan also wanted to understand the situation in Mermaid Forbidden Sea. Mermaid Forbidden Sea was extremely far from any other faction, and only lifeforms with the mermaid bloodline and a few aquatic clans were allowed to approach them. All other lifeforms who wanted to live within Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s territory could only be relegated to one of the designated districts. Extreme Ocean knew that there were five mermaid emperors in Mermaid Forbidden Sea. But as long as Lin Yuan could find one real mermaid, he would be able to learn about Mermaid Forbidden Sea from them. While Eternal Source carried Lin Yuan around to search for mermaids, the Dictators in the marsh world were examining Isa and the other Dictators who came from another world. The lifeforms from the main world were already foreigners to the Dictators from the marsh world, and the same went for the lifeforms from the water world. The Dictators who were born in the marsh world had the same root power as the Dictators born in the water world, but they had obvious differences when it came to their appearances and aura. The appearance of Isa and the rest was confirmation to Mountain Ridge Source, Mist Source, and all the other Dictators with the word ‘source’ in their names that what Lin Yuan said was true. When Eternal Source, Vine Source, and the other five Dictators were summoned away by Lin Yuan, Mountain Ridge Source had felt extremely threatened. As a result, Mountain Ridge Source, who never liked to join the fray, voluntarily colluded with Mist Source and other Dictators without the word ‘source’ in their names. Most of the Samsara Realm Dictators without the word ‘source’ in their names did not live in Marsh Abyss but did not want to be targeted by Mountain Ridge Source, Evil Source, and the rest. Mountain Ridge Source usually turned her nose up at these Samsara Realm Dictators. But now that she was in such great need of a sense of security, Mountain Ridge Source started to have the desire to join forces with these Samsara Realm Dictators. Now, any expert with power in the marsh world was under Lin Yuan’s control. Thus, the only way to make it in the marsh world was to earn Lin Yuan’s favor. Mountain Ridge Source had been wondering if Lin Yuan had not called her because he was displeased with her in some way. The other Samsara Realm Dictators were very welcoming toward Mountain Ridge Source’s offer to work together, but Mist Source was completely apathetic. It suddenly dawned on Mountain Ridge Source that Mist Source had always joined Eternal Source at the hip. It went without saying that Lin Yuan’s reliance on Eternal Source would also benefit Mist Source. Thus, there was no need for Mist Source to be anxious. Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, Vine Source, and the rest returned to the marsh world before Mountain Ridge Source could make her move. The only one who had not returned was Eternal Source. Thus, Mountain Ridge Source decided to extend her offer of collusion to Vine Source, Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and the rest. Vine Source, Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Carnage Source were fairly upset with Lin Yuan’s decision to only keep Eternal Source by his side. This meant that it was all but certain that Eternal Source had been designated as their leader. Previously, they had lost to Eternal Source when it came to power. Now, they had even lost in the competition to earn Lin Yuan’s favor. Carnage Source was very open to Mountain Ridge Source’s offer. However, Vine Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Evil Source were clearly put off. The three of them had thought of Mountain Ridge Source as intelligent. But now, she seemed so stupid it was almost adorable. Trying to collude now was the equivalent of starting a rebellion. Would someone like Lin Yuan, always looking out for the big picture, allow a rebellion to form? There was no guarantee that this rebellion would have an impact on Eternal Source. Instead, it would inform Eternal Source of who was in the opposition. This would inevitably lead to him retaliating. Eternal Source was never merciful when it came to retaliation. Vine Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Evil Source had experienced it more than once. Thus, they did not bother with Mountain Ridge Source. Their reactions made Mountain Ridge Source feel humiliated.
