2608 Attacking the Sky-Plundering Beast! Keira was sincere and straightforward. Even if she had been hypocritical, she would have been honest only with Lin Yuan, avoiding empty promises. In the past, when Keira was uncertain about Lin Yuan’s circumstances, she wouldn’t have dared to claim that she could transform the demon insects into elite soldiers for him. The demon insects were formidable, but Lin Yuan’s ability to produce such pure spirit qi amazed Keira. She didn’t know much about Lin Yuan’s background, but she believed that he could command thousands of species to submit to him if he wished. Countless species waged wars to acquire more pure spirit qi, yet what they obtained paled in comparison to Lin Yuan’s purity. Keira’s confidence in making such a claim to Lin Yuan only stemmed from the significant qualitative transformation of the demon insects. Lin Yuan smiled, appreciating Keira’s passion and determination. If the demon insects could genuinely progress in this direction, all his invested resources would not be in vain. As Lin Yuan escorted Keira out of the Demon Insect Palace, the other insect empresses awaited them at the entrance. The usually highly respected insect empresses now sincerely bowed to Lin Yuan. Keira found this behavior odd—the insect empresses had clearly noticed her but hadn’t acknowledged her presence. Her Genetic Lock had already taken full control of these insect empresses! Keira did not know what method Lin Yuan had used to supersede her Genetic Lock’s control. This was enough to make Lin Yuan seem increasingly mysterious to Keira. Lin Yuan knew that this was happening because he had taken control of the alien insect world through the Spinning Chrysalis. Keira’s roots were not in the alien insect world, so she was not affected by the Spinning Chrysalis. Lin Yuan had instructed her to handle the alien insect’s trading of genes with other lifeforms. As such, Keira stepped forward and took on the attitude of a matriarch. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 She spoke with the insect empresses and gave a concise version of Lin Yuan’s orders. She emphasized that both parties had to be agreeable before the trade could take place so that not only the alien insects would benefit. Keira knew that the Dictators from the other dimensional worlds would definitely agree to trade with the alien insects due to Lin Yuan. However, the number and frequency of the trades depended on whether the alien insects were willing to satisfy the Dictators from the other dimensional worlds. Otherwise, regardless of how much potential the alien insects had, Lin Yuan could not take the blood of other species in order to strengthen the alien insects’ power. He would not be considered an excellent elite leader if he did that. The lines of authority in the alien insects depended on genes. As such, the obedience and degree of submission to orders was far greater than that of other species! Lin Yuan’s orders did not take long to spread and be disseminated. All of the female insects became excited at the prospect of using the genes of other species to produce stronger male insects. The female insects were always cruel toward male insects and saw them as tools. But all of them were romantics and liked to seek comfort in the male insects they birthed. They would then take in the male insects they favored as concubini. It sounded impressive to be a concubinus, but a female insect could have as many concubini as it wanted. It would have many other options if it lost interest in its current concubini. It could either keep its concubini without showing favor to them or eat them to turn them into its energy source, ending their short-lived relationship. In order to prevent something like that, the concubini always did their best to curry favor with the female insects. Once they lost the favor of the female insects, they would not only lose their status but also risk losing their lives. The female insects would never pick other dimensional lifeforms to become their concubini. But the female insects could absorb the genes of other lifeforms and morph them to produce new male insects that they chose to become their concubini. They could have fun while having full control over the relationship. This was the same excitement as a poor person waiting to hit the jackpot overnight or a geeky homebody waiting for new figurines. The alien insect world, though somewhat lacking, held its own treasures. Providing satisfactory compensation to the other Dictators for their trades wouldn’t be a challenge. After fulfilling his promise to the alien insects, Lin Yuan promptly left. The Sky-Plundering Beast had been in Lin Yuan’s company for a while. It had a fondness for wood-elemental energy, vitality, and spirit qi, as these aided in its growth. Resources in abundance were at Lin Yuan’s disposal. Lin Yuan crafted a ten-square-foot garden in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and filled it with Sky-Plundering Flowers, a favorite of the Sky-Plundering Beast. He allowed it to feast on as many Sky-Plundering Flowers as it desired, promoting its rapid growth. Nourished by the pure spirit qi within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the Sky-Plundering Beast underwent a transformation, much like Genius had. It evolved from a regular beast into a Normal grade fey. Before this transformation, Lin Yuan formed a contract with the Sky-Plundering Beast, as he had done with Genius and Chimey. The energy needed for this contract was negligible, leaving Lin Yuan unaffected. This deepened the bond between Lin Yuan and the Sky-Plundering Beast. Lin Yuan’s genuine care for the beast touched its heart. Genius, Chimey, and the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope all befriended the Sky-Plundering Beast. After millennia of solitude, it was no longer lonely. However, the journey to strength wasn’t easy for the Sky-Plundering Beast. Lin Yuan didn’t want to elevate its grade and quality until it fully regained peak health, as this might affect its potential. Such a premature evolution could hinder the Sky-Plundering Beast from attaining the best abilities and exclusive skills. The Sky-Plundering Beast was obedient and good-natured. However, after spending a long time underground, it became curious about the surface world and started to explore everything. Lin Yuan supported this curiosity. It was important for the Sky-Plundering Beast to learn about the world.
