After the king-class mermaids were done with their greetings, it was the sea beasts' turn to greet Lin Yuan.
Many of the sea beasts present had reached the Turning Wheel Realm as well. All of them knew that Lin Yuan had the mermaid bloodline in his body.
At first, the sea beasts from Mermaid Sacred Hall always butted heads with the mermaids. But now, they were very respectful toward mermaids of comparable power. Although they would not keep their heads down around the mermaids, they could get along relatively amicably.
The battle between Grace Sacred Hall and Mermaid Forbidden Sea was a fight between the mermaids and sea beasts. There were no mermaids in Grace Sacred Hall, while there were sea beasts in Mermaid Forbidden Sea. But those sea beasts had always been on friendly terms with the mermaids.
The sea beasts were all lined up neatly around the mermaids.
Because of Lin Yuan, the mermaids had become the leading species of the water world, and their status had naturally inflated.
Although Lin Yuan did not have the power to give the mermaids more authority than the sea clans, he knew what the mermaids and sea beasts were thinking.
The mermaids were much more united than the sea beasts, so allowing the mermaids to lead the water world would lead to more stability.
Moreover, it was true that Lin Yuan had the mermaid bloodline in his body and was a mermaid thearch.
When the mermaids appeared, shock appeared on Ice Flow's face.
Mermaids also used to be in the main world, but their numbers were always very small.
However, mermaids were naturally affiliated with water-elemental energy and known for being extremely beautiful in their human form. Thus, they used to be regarded as auspicious entities in the sea.
Mermaids could not be found in Class 1 to 4 water world dimensional rifts and were only seen occasionally in Class 5 dimensional rifts.
Ice Flow knew that the mermaids came from the water world, but they never expected them to be such a populous species in the water world and so powerful!
The mermaids and sea beasts addressed Lin Yuan as 'Lord Thearch'.
Ice Flow knew that the mermaids prioritized their bloodlines.
The way that they addressed Lin Yuan caused Ice Flow to realize that Lin Yuan's strong control over water came from him having the mermaid bloodline in his body!
His bloodline was strong enough to induce the sea beasts to kneel to him. This was sufficient to prove that his bloodline was extraordinary!
Ice Flow now knew that it was not the Radiance Federation who had taken control of the water world but the Moon Empress' disciple!
Given that the Moon Empress' disciple had the ability to take control of the water world, he had to also be the one who had taken control of the Moon Empress' disciple.
At this instant, the way that Ice Flow looked at Lin Yuan changed. Now, he fully believed all that Lin Yuan had said before. Aside from astonishment and satisfaction, he also felt brimming faith.
Ice Flow bowed deeply to Lin Yuan. "With help from these mermaids and sea beasts, the migration of the sea clans will undoubtedly be much smoother! Lin Yuan, thank you for your help! We will remember this favor and be sure to repay it!
"In a previous conversation with the Moon Empress, she mentioned faith power. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that she was trying to gather it for you! If that's the case, I will dedicate all of the sea clans' faith to you! We three brothers will also become your believers!"
Ice Flow was not trying to be polite to Lin Yuan. If that was his intention, it would not have been necessary to say what he just said.
Lin Yuan could tell that Ice Flow was sincere because once he was done speaking, Lin Yuan could sense that a glowing dot of light that represented Ice Flow's faith had appeared in the fountain of faith in his divine kingdom. This meant Ice Flow was now linked to him and supplying him with faith!
Lin Yuan smiled.
He did not have to make any requests of Ice Flow, and the latter had said all that he said of his own accord. This caused Lin Yuan to have a good impression of Ice Flow, and by extension, the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
It was true that Lin Yuan needed faith power. But he had not expected the Moon Empress to have helped him to lay the groundwork with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
The Moon Empress had always looked out for and took very good care of him.
Lin Yuan told Ice Flow, "I do need faith power. We'll do as you said. But every matter is separate. I'm not helping the sea clans because I'm after your faith. In this matter, you are the ones helping me. I will not allow you to help me for free!
"I have a significant amount of pure spirit qi and water-elemental energy. I can help the sea clans to reach the full extent of their power by evolving the sea beasts' grades and qualities. But I will need a portion of the sea beasts' World Graces. It will amount to 3-4% of their World Graces. This will not affect your feys in any way. This promise will stand for as long as I am in the main world. What do you think?"
Ice Flow was listening intently to what Lin Yuan said, but he thought that Lin Yuan would seek compensation for helping the sea clans. Yet, it turned out that Lin Yuan would be providing the sea clans with such immense benefits!
Ice Flow was stumped and at a momentary loss for words!
Human factions needed resources, but the fey factions that made up sea clans lacked Creation Master resources even more than human factions did!
Although some powerful feys possessed similar abilities to Creation Masters, it was much easier for humans to become Class 5 Creation Masters than feys!
Fey factions possessed extremely little Class 5 Creation Master resources as human Creation Masters usually served federations, and they almost never released their Creation Master resources to others. It was challenging for human federations to share their Creation Master resources with each other, much less with feys!
Fey factions used to want to trade for resources with human Creation Masters, but the humans had asked for remuneration that the feys could not pay. This was because the humans tried to trade for a mountain of spiritual ingredients from the feys, most of which came from the feys' own bodies.
The feys found it difficult to strip the corpses of their ancestors to trade for the human Creation Masters' potions. This was in spite of the fact that the fey factions' own Creation Masters did not concoct their potions.
However, the feelings that came with their own kind doing this and human Creation Masters doing this were completely different!
Numerous sea clans were stuck at a certain level.
If these sea clans' experts could all increase their power, the sea clans' overall power would increase by at least five times its current level!
The sea clans were made of fey factions, and their experts lived for much longer than humans did.
With such long lifespans, fey powers could reach a rut at any point in their lives. Most of them would stay in the rut for their entire lives!
Ice Flow did not know how many resources Lin Yuan had that enabled him to make such a promise.
But since Lin Yuan had made such a promise, he would definitely have the capabilities to back it up!
This was a good opportunity for the sea clans to rise up.
Ice Flow did not bother to stand on ceremony with Lin Yuan and hurriedly said, "Lin Yuan, I don't know how to thank you. You are the savior of all the sea clans! You mentioned wanting 3-4% of the World Graces and Creation World Ley Lines. Even if you ask for 20%, 30%, to 80%, the sea clans would be willing to give it to you!
"I will go and make the arrangements now and prepare a name list of the sea clans for you."
Lin Yuan nodded.
If a member of any human faction was present, they would not understand the promise that Lin Yuan had made. From anyone else's perspective, it seemed as though he was doing nothing more than tossing away resources!
But in actuality, he was accumulating his own store of resources.
Lin Yuan's mention of him being in the main world allowed Ice Flow to understand that Lin Yuan's goals were beyond the main world and that he intended to leave.
Ice Flow thought of himself as the strongest leader in the main world when, in fact, he was nothing more than an ignoramus!
Ice Flow suddenly felt as though he had been defeated by youth.
At the same time, he began wondering about Lin Yuan's identity. All of a sudden, he questioned whether Lin Yuan was human. But how could he have the mermaid bloodline in his body if he was?
Lin Yuan could not be more than 20 years old. This made him a young man by human standards. But by fey standards, he was a baby!
Ice Flow had many questions, but he did not ask Lin Yuan any of them.
Instead, he began thinking about how he could tell his brothers about this.
His brothers would not have any issues with him giving Lin Yuan the faith of all the sea clans, even if Lin Yuan had not promised them anything in return, much less now that he was going to be substantially benefiting the sea clans.
The members of sea clans were all terror-stricken by the dead spirits crisis.
If Ice Flow announced this good news, morale would pick up rapidly.
Now that Lin Yuan had come to an agreement on this matter with Ice Flow, he was overjoyed.
He knew that it would be easier to collect spirit qi crystals from the sea clans than the humans.
Due to the Perfect Touch Wisteria's characteristics, Lin Yuan could still increase its power with spirit qi crystals, although it had already reached the World Emperor and divine kingdom level.
On this trip to the Vast Sea Labyrinth, Lin Yuan wanted to establish a good relationship with the sea clans so that they would be able to work well with the humans to take on the dead spirits crisis. But his other purpose was to seal this deal with the sea clans.
Everything was going very well, and it could be said that Lin Yuan's trip to the Vast Sea Labyrinth was complete.
He had not given Ice Wave and Ice Clarity the chance to meet with him during this trip, and he dove into helping the sea clans.
Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity were very thankful for this.
The three of them should have welcomed Lin Yuan with the proper etiquette, but they knew that every moment wasted would cost the lives of millions of sea lifeforms.
From the fact that Lin Yuan had not bothered to ask about it either it meant that he genuinely wanted to help the sea clans and did not have any selfish desires.
Before they were done feeling touched, Ice Wave and Ice Clarity heard of Lin Yuan's promises from Ice Flow.
Ice Wave and Ice Clarity had to digest for a moment before they accepted this fact.
The two of them already saw Lin Yuan as the sea clans' savior. But now, it seemed that he was also their lucky charm!
Because of him, the sea clans would be able to prosper.
If Lin Yuan was just a regular human, Ice Wave and Ice Clarity would have begun suspecting his motives when they heard this news.
But everything made sense when they found out about Lin Yuan having the mermaid bloodline in his body.
Lin Yuan was aware that humans and the sea clans never got along. This was because the humans were always fishing for feys from the sea. The humans might see nothing wrong with this, but it was no different from murder to the sea clans.
The sea clans only worked with the humans because they had no choice. They would never have made such a compromise if they had any other choice.
Ice Flow, Ice Clarity, and Ice Wave had expressly emphasized Lin Yuan's saving of the sea clans during the migration of the sea clans. This was to encourage all members of the sea clans to dedicate their faith to Lin Yuan.
As the rulers of the sea, Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity possessed absolute authority.
The order from the three of them and the fact that he had saved all the sea clans allowed Lin Yuan to garner a large amount of faith power from the sea clans.
Lin Yuan spent almost 20 days in the Vast Sea Labyrinth. Once the last batch of sea clans were sent away, Lin Yuan did not allow Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity to meet with him before he used Node Transportation to transport himself to the Radiance Federation.
Now that the sea clans' migration was done, Lin Yuan had achieved his goal.
After checking the time, he estimated that Wen Yu was done with her exploration of the other side of the Barren Sea. It was time for him to fetch her and Chu Ci!
Once he was done fetching Chu Ci and Wen Yu, the migration of the human federations to the Radiance Federation should also be complete.
Lin Yuan would then combine the main world with the five dimensional worlds with the Radiance Federation at the center!
The main world would be promoted from a Class 1 to Class 2 world before the dead spirits crisis even began.
Lin Yuan had remained in contact with the Moon Empress and Wen Yu the entire time while he was in the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
He knew that a faction called Tarot Round Table had come to the Radiance Federation and asked to work with the Radiance Federation.
They said that they knew many secrets about Tower Canon.
The Moon Empress should have agreed to their request. However, they were being rather overbearing.
She could not agree to Tarot Round Table's request, so she told Lin Yuan about the situation and let him make the decision once he was back!
