2410 Light Green Umber’s Invitation!
Otherwise, the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves would not have been able to attract the pinnacle Samsara Realm Frozen Ocean and Ink Ocean.
There seemed to be not many spiritual ingredients containing water-elemental energy in the water world.
Moreover, the Samsara Realm Dictators could not produce pure water-elemental energy.
At the same time that Lin Yuan was studying Light Green Umber, she was doing the same to him. However, he was studying her bloodline and the circumstances in the water world while she was only examining his looks.
Mermaids were shallow to a certain extent and did all they could to pursue those of the same species with great beauty. This was part of their true nature that they were born with.
Previously, Light Green Umber’s first pick had been River Creek. She believed that no one fit her standards better than River Creek. The color of her tail and even her physical features all fit Light Green Umber’s standards.
However, when compared to Lin Yuan, River Creek appeared pale and lacking in comparison. They were not even on the same level of discussion.
She could not believe that such a mesmerizing color existed!
If this emperor-class merman had opposed her during the meeting, she would not have been as angry as when Brilliant Gold had done so.
“Hello, my name is Light Green Umber. I heard that you also intend to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. May I know if this is true?”
Lin Yuan looked seriously at this emperor-class mermaid named Light Green Umber.
From Light Green Umber’s words, Lin Yuan could be certain of one thing. She also wanted to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.
Lin Yuan did not need a companion to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye with him. But it would not hurt to glean some information from Light Green Umber.
“You are right. I intend on going to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye to try and enable my bloodline to break through. That is the reason behind my decision to appear now.”
When Light Green Umber received Lin Yuan’s reply and confirmed her guess, delight spread across her face.
She had never met this emperor-class merman before.
She was not as old as Brilliant Gold, but she was not considered young among the six emperor-class mermaids.
There was no way the others could have met this emperor-class merman she had not met before.
Light Green Umber felt that it would be better for her to mention to Lin Yuan now that they would likely encounter opposition when they tried to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye so that he could be mentally prepared. This way, they would be on the same side during the meeting later.
In the past, there was nothing that Light Green Umber detested more than collusion and underhanded scheming.
But now, it was Brilliant Gold who had thrown the first stone. She knew that Dazzling Silver would definitely side with her and had even roped in White Brocade and Red Beauty.
When it came to their claims, there was actually a gap between White Brocade, Red Beauty, and Brilliant Gold. But now, they were standing together in this matter and thus were sharing from the same pool of profits. It was unlikely that they would part ways before this matter came to an end.
Blue Umber sided with Light Green Umber, but the two of them stood no chance against the other four in terms of authority.
If she could pull Lin Yuan to her side, she would have two mermaids with pinnacle emperor-class bloodline, the same number that Brilliant Gold had.
Red Beauty had only recently become an emperor-class mermaid. Thus, she could only add to the number and did not bring any decisive authority with her.
As such, both of them now had equal authority.
With this thought, Light Green Umber pursed her lips and said, “I have the same plea as you. I also want to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. The Deep Chasm Sea Eye is full of danger. It is impossible to make it in alone. You will only stand a chance if you have a group with you.
“When you were still in seclusion, we helped Brilliant Gold to enter. Although we eventually failed and did not manage to reach its inner sanctum, we did rip open a rift and sensed the aura of the New Thearch’s Scale within. It is because of this that I want to try again! After the past few thousand years, the mermaid species’ overall power has increased distinctly. Making another attempt now won’t be a hopeless endeavor! If they’re unwilling to help, will you be willing to give it a go with me?”
Light Green Umber’s words caused the blood to drain from River Creek’s face.
How could she utter such words so casually? It was the biggest secret of the mermaid species!
Moreover, Light Green Umber’s words sounded like collusion regardless of how she spun it.
If Brilliant Gold were to ask River Creek about Light Green Umber’s reaction upon seeing Lin Yuan, what should she say? If she told the truth, she would offend Light Green Umber. If she lied, she would cross paths with Brilliant Gold.
River Creek was extremely uncomfortable.
From what Light Green Umber said, Lin Yuan learned the piece of information that he craved the most, which was the confirmation of the New Thearch’s Scale’s existence.
With this confirmation, it became even more important for Lin Yuan to head to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.
At the same time, Lin Yuan realized the mermaids were not as peaceful as they seemed. The mermaids with inferior bloodlines were extremely respectful toward those with elite bloodlines. However, there was still intense competition between the mermaids with elite bloodlines.
Light Green Umber didn’t bother explaining the situation to Lin Yuan since he could learn about it himself once he entered.
Light Green Umber aimed to portray Brilliant Gold in a negative light, hoping that Lin Yuan would develop a negative impression of her.
Despite other mermaids refusing to help, Light Green Umber expressed her willingness to accompany Lin Yuan into the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.
This indicated that there were no specific obstacles to entering the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. Any mermaid with an emperor-class bloodline would have the opportunity to enter.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan intended to participate in the meeting to its end and take a look at all the other emperor-class mermaids. Once he gained a certain level of understanding of his future subordinates, he would be able to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.
Then, there would be no need for him to know where the water world’s Endless Gem was or devise a plan to make it his.
Once he attained the New Thearch’s Scale and awoke the thearch-class bloodline to become a thearch-class mermaid, the other six emperor-class mermaids would be under pressure from their bloodlines to obediently hand over the Endless Gem and other volumes of the Vast Sea Secret Treasure.
Lin Yuan noticed that Light Green Umber frequently turned back to look at him while they were moving. However, she avoided his direct gaze each time. Even if Lin Yuan was the oblivious type, he would be able to tell that there was something more there.
Lin Yuan was curious.
He dipped his head and looked at himself. He confirmed that there were no issues with his appearance, nor had he done anything inappropriate.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan connected the way that Light Green Umber, Luna, and the Goddess of Mercy looked at him to the way that Auntie Zhang looked at Uncle Li.
He thought back to Luna mentioning that elite mermaids often helped to quicken the evolution of the bloodline of the mermaids they loved.
