2425 Dazzling Silver’s Possessiveness!
What? Grace Sacred Hall obeys Lin Yuan’s commands?

Even if the rumor that the two rulers were dead was true, the four royal attendants were still around.

All four rulers had reached Samsara Realm, while Ink Ocean and Frozen, who were the strongest of the four, had reached pinnacle Samsara Realm.

The two of them had revealed their power a few thousand years ago.

Because they had displayed their power, Brilliant Gold did not immediately rush over to attack Grace Sacred Hall after hearing the news of the two rulers’ disappearance. Instead, she had headed to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye to try to find a way to break through her bloodline.

Mermaid Forbidden Sea had more Samsara Realm experts than Grace Sacred Hall, but pure numbers were not significant.

If the two sides ended up crossing swords, Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean had enough power to easily eliminate Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s experts. If they were pushed to their limits and were willing to give up their lives, they might even be willing to overpower the pinnacle emperor-class Brilliant Gold.

Dazzling Silver, White Brocade, Light Green Umber, and Blue Umber planned to have a meeting to discuss Grace Sacred Hall while Lin Yuan was in seclusion.

The territory boundary hindered their development, and since they prioritized territory, it became a significant concern.

The mermaid population was flourishing, but their continued development was challenging without a larger living space.

That’s why Light Green Umber had previously made the decision to raze Grace Sacred Hall.

Brilliant Gold was also aware of the mermaids’ circumstances.

However, Light Green Umber hadn’t expected Brilliant Gold to oppose her on this matter, which only intensified Light Green Umber’s displeasure toward Brilliant Gold.

Previously, Brilliant Gold had been focused on establishing her power, but now she was evidently causing damage to the mermaid species’ profits.

With Dazzling Silver’s help, Brilliant Gold’s bloodline had held a prominent position among the mermaids for a long time.

Light Green Umber didn’t dare confront Brilliant Gold until her own bloodline reached pinnacle emperor-class.

Partly, it was because Light Green Umber didn’t want to become a target of Brilliant Gold and Dazzling Silver’s combined force. Additionally, Brilliant Gold hadn’t done anything that betrayed the mermaid species.

However, Brilliant Gold no longer held the authority she once had. In fact, she was far from it now.

Thus, Light Green Umber gathered the other four emperor-class mermaids to discuss whether they should bring this matter up with Lin Yuan.

The five of them began deliberating.

Firstly, they weren’t sure if Lin Yuan was a strong-willed ruler. A war would inevitably result in casualties, which would harm Lin Yuan’s profits.

Stability was crucial for a new ruler.

Lin Yuan had yet to receive greetings from any king-class or elite mermaids.

Even if they wanted to bring up this matter, it wouldn’t be appropriate to do so at the moment.

Eventually, Light Green Umber and the others dismissed the idea and decided to wait until some time had passed before discussing it with Lin Yuan.

But before they had the chance to mention it, Lin Yuan declared that he had taken control of Grace Sacred Hall.

They never doubted the truth of Lin Yuan’s words, but they were curious about how he had accomplished such a feat on his own.

Light Green Umber said with delight, “Lord Thearch, I will go and make the arrangements now! The king-class and elite mermaids will all head toward the location you pinpointed!”
Lin Yuan saw through Light Green Umber’s thoughts.

The one who he had been communicating with had been Dazzling Silver. Yet, Light Green Umber had cut in.

This meant that Light Green Umber badly wanted to prove herself to him. The reason for this was clear.

Light Green Umber did not have any wicked intentions. The fact that she had been willing to severely injure herself for Brilliant Gold’s sake was the best proof of this.

Lin Yuan was not against internal competition among the mermaids.

If competition existed, the emperor-class mermaids would be able to feel some pressure amidst their peaceful state. This would motivate them to work hard on the tasks that he gave them.

Otherwise, things would be too easy for the emperor-class mermaids if they were only acting under pressure from their bloodline.

Dazzling Silver shot a stormy gaze at Light Green Umber.

Dazzling Silver did not mind that Light Green Umber had interrupted her to respond to Lin Yuan first.

But a certain feeling had unconsciously formed in her mind.

She did not want Lin Yuan to look at anyone else or interact with anyone else. She wanted him to look only at her.

Dazzling Silver felt a certain degree of possessiveness toward Brilliant Gold in the past, and she had found it strange. She had tried to suppress her possessiveness all this time but had not succeeded even after thousands of years of hard work.

Now, her possessiveness over Lin Yuan was even stronger. It was so strong that she was afraid of losing control.

Alas, she had no choice but to control herself.

According to the mermaids’ rules, mermaids of different classes could pair up, just like emperor-class and king-class mermaids.

However, in such relationships the mermaid of lower class had absolutely no power and needed to be utterly obedient to the mermaid of higher class.

Inferior mermaids could only rely on their looks to attract mermaids with higher class bloodlines.

It was obvious that she had not stunned Lin Yuan with her looks. Otherwise, he would have paid attention to her from the beginning.

He was only interacting with her frequently now because of her pinnacle emperor-class bloodline. Additionally, she had been the first to respond to him.

Frankly, Lin Yuan treated her no differently than Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, White Brocade, and Red Beauty.

Dazzling Silver could not help but feel some regret.

At that moment, Lin Yuan said, “The water world isn’t the only world in existence. There is a much wider world outside of it. The mermaid bloodline came from this wider world.

“I am sure that you have made some guesses regarding this. In the future, I will lead you to seek out the origin of the mermaid bloodline. You will all eventually have the chance to become mermaid thearchs as well. The thearch-class bloodline is not the ceiling of the mermaid bloodline.”

All of them had made guesses related to what Lin Yuan just said.

If the mermaids had never had a thearch before, how could the thearch-class bloodline have been passed down?

If there were truly other mermaid thearchs in the water world, they would have already taken control of the water world long ago instead of allowing Mermaid Forbidden Sea to share power with Grace Sacred Hall.

Grace Sacred Hall had always been secretly hunting mermaids and trying to glean information from them.

When the two rulers were in their prime, Grace Sacred Hall had even managed to gain the upper hand over the mermaids during a battle. The three emperor scales stored in the ring were the best evidence of this.

In the past, under the guise of benefiting the mermaid species, Brilliant Gold had tried to use the three emperor scales to temper her bloodline.

Thus, Light Green Umber and the rest had no reason to refuse, regardless of how unwilling they were.
