2475 Arriving at the Iron Hammer Federation Again! From what Lin Yuan said, was she about to pass through the Class 6 water world dimensional rift to enter the water world and meet with real mermaids? The Goddess of Mercy could not be more looking forward to this. The mermaid bloodline would not only allow mermaids to receive the loyalty of inferior mermaids but mostly generate infatuation in inferior mermaids. Mermaids were an elite society of lifeforms. This was why the Goddess of Mercy became so adverse toward humans once she gained the mermaid bloodline. Humans did not turn off Lin Yuan because he possessed the mermaid bloodline but had not removed his original human bloodline like the Goddess of Mercy had. Lin Yuan’s human bloodline was always the dominant one. It was true that the Goddess of Mercy would be able to assimilate into the mermaids better than she would at the Radiance Federation. The Radiance Federation’s culture and rules were unaccepting of her, and it would also be difficult for her to adjust to them. Since Lin Yuan had changed the subject, it meant that she had rejected her request. The Goddess of Mercy had been wondering how two spirit fire experts had suddenly popped up out of nowhere in the Radiance Federation. If there had been two other spirit fire experts besides the Spacetime Elder, why had the Freedom Federation always had the upper hand? The Goddess of Mercy could tell that these two spirit fire experts’ auras were even stronger than the Mirror God and God of Fools’. From their attitudes toward Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Mercy came to understand numerous things. These two spirit fire experts were not from the Radiance Federation—they were Lin Yuan’s subordinates. He was the one who had sent them to the Freedom Federation to protect her. Given that he had subordinates of such power at his disposal, it was true that she who had not even set her spirit fire alight did not have the right to stay by his side. “Okay. I will do as you say and head to the water world. I really want to see what a culture created by mermaids is like!” After chatting with the Goddess of Mercy for a while, Lin Yuan instructed Eternal Source to change into his original form so that he would be able to take him to the Class 6 water world dimensional rift as quickly as possible. Firstly, Lin Yuan needed to take the Goddess of Mercy there. Secondly, Lin Yuan needed to place the Tide Herb Treasure Conch in the water world. It would take time for the Tide Herb Treasure Conch to take control of the water world, so what Lin Yuan needed the most now was time. He sent an update to the Radiance Federation before he headed to the Azure Federation. Once he was done, he remained in the water world for some time. Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, Ancient Ocean, Dazzling Silver, Red Beauty, Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, and the other Samsara Realm Dictators that were near the Tide Herb Treasure Conch all fell under its control. Lin Yuan left Extreme Ocean in charge of watching over things while he rushed to the Iron Hammer Federation to take a look at the subterranean world. During this trip to the subterranean world, Lin Yuan had more than 20 Samsara Realm Dictators at his disposal. Thus, he would be able to plan freely and do whatever he wanted in the subterranean world and would not have to act from the shadows. When Lin Yuan arrived at the Startling Lines Continent, he did not immediately head to the Iron Hammer Federation. Instead, he went to Thick Soil City first. He checked on the current development of Thick Soil City and ascertained the standard of living for the citizens of the Startling Lines Continent’s three federations. Lin Yuan was very satisfied with Yi Huailong, Jin Qianxun, and Luo Lan’s management of the Startling Lines Continent. The Divine Wood Federation had Yi Huailu helping to accumulate and build the foundation of the Divine Wood Federation. Yi Huailu had already personally picked the first batch of Divine Wood Envoys. Now, the Divine Wood Federation was eligible to participate in the Major Federation Meeting that would take place two years later. With a Class 5 Creation Master leading a group of five youths and providing them with resources, they would all become top geniuses. Talent was very important in the main world. However, the existence of Creation Masters made talent much less important than before because Creation Master resources could manually crank up a person’s talent. The places that used to be overrun with bandit groups that terrorized the lives of regular people were now heaven on earth. Lin Yuan was filled with a special sense of accomplishment. When Lin Yuan arrived at Thick Soil City, he brought Eternal Source with him to see Ta Lei and personally complimented Ta Lei. In spite of his young age, Ta Lei had managed to enable Thick Soil City to flourish to such an extent. He had to have invested a lot of effort to achieve this. Lin Yuan’s frequent compliments to Ta Lei gave him confidence and helped him to grow. Ta Lei wanted Lin Yuan to stay the night at Thick Soil City, but Lin Yuan turned him down because time was too tight. After handing a batch of resources to Ta Lei and instructing him to develop Thick Soil City’s City Guards, Lin Yuan went to the Freezing Hammer Tribe. Lin Yuan had informed Luo Lan in advance of his arrival, so she was there with Suo Yiren to welcome him. Luo Lan’s character was rather weak. Thus, despite having handled the rebellious tribes, she still lacked the formidability of a ruler and found it difficult to naturally earn the respect of her people. Rather than saying that the heads of tribes submitted to her identity, her contributions, and the fact that she had saved the Iron Hammer Federation, they were more afraid of the power that she possessed. Luo Lan intentionally made herself out to have the image of a goddess, and this allowed her to manage the regular tribes but not the Black Gold tribes. When the Iron Hammer Federation had been in the midst of a crisis, the Black Gold tribes had let Luo Lan take the lead and used her to eliminate Luo Cai, who had been under the control of the Truth Association. However, what Luo Lan wanted as the ruler of the Iron Hammer Federation was to have a tight grip on the Iron Hammer Federation. This inevitably cut into the Black Gold tribes’ piece of the pie. Luo Lan could not use only martial force against the rebellious Black Gold and Platinum tribes. Martial force could solve the problem but would also damage the Iron Hammer Federation. Luo Lan spent her days battered and beat up because of these circumstances, and there were many things that were beyond her power to accomplish. There was no way that she could go to Lin Yuan for help. Luckily, she had Su Yiren around. Su Yiren had been the most elite member of the younger generation of the Seven States of Darkness because her grandmother had been the only Class 5 Creation Master in the entire Seven States of Darkness. Her outstanding background allowed her to enjoy a golden status from the moment she was born. She was a natural-born elite. The Seven States of Darkness was an alliance of seven federations, and the factions within them were very messy. Su Yiren had been watching how her grandmother managed the factions of the Seven States of Darkness from a young age and learned many tricks. Thus, there was no one better than her to address the Iron Hammer Federation’s present problems. Su Yiren had taught Luo Lan every single one of her tricks without holding anything back.
