2428 The Moon Empress’ Happiness!
If their horns resembled that of mountain sheep, they would be considered the cream of the crop and deemed worthy of becoming the partners of powerful Dictators.

Apart from their lamb horns and hooves, they resembled any other stunningly attractive female and were often collected by many large factions.

However, humans and demons had very different standards of beauty.
Humans could not appreciate the large lamb horns. They were extremely sharp and obstructive.

Thus, the Succubi, who ended up in the hands of the large factions, all had their horns cut off. They then received the same treatment as sheep raised to become food in that the stumps of their horns were burned to prevent growth. Next, beautiful gems were placed over the healing wounds so that the Succubi fit more with the human standard of beauty.

Although Shadow was dark-type, it had a small stature. Thus, it was unable to gain any status among the demons in spite of its impressive combat abilities.

The marsh dimensional lifeforms that Lin Yuan would send to the abyssal world were Class 8 and above. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to endure spending a prolonged time in such a hot environment.

The average temperature on the third level reached 55°C, while on the fourth level, it varied between 65°C and occasionally spiked up to 70°C.

The heat in the abyssal world differed from that of saunas or steam rooms. It was a dry heat emanating from sulfur, which rapidly depleted the body’s water content. One needed a certain amount of source-type power to endure such a harsh environment.

Since the Radiance Federation had only explored the third and fourth levels, Lin Yuan lacked sufficient information to accurately estimate the temperatures of other levels. However, he was certain that the temperature would exceed 100°C on the 10th level and beyond.

Fire and water were known to be merciless forces. Lin Yuan had contracted numerous water-type feys, but his only fire-related fey was Green Vine. However, Green Vine’s true body was not affiliated with fire-type—it had acquired fire-related abilities after absorbing the five dark gold snake scales.

When Green Vine evolved into Fantasy Breed, Morbius also reached the Platinum grade along with Lin Yuan’s other feys, granting them access to another fey.

However, Lin Yuan had been too busy recently and had not had time to pick a fey to unlock.

He decided that the next fey he locked would be fire-type so that his combat structure would be more balanced.

Once he obtained the Endless Gems from the abyssal world, Lin Yuan would be able to unlock the fire-type fey.

Since unlocking the fey with a type that was related to that dimensional world’s Endless Gems’ attributes would bring about the biggest benefits, Lin Yuan would not be able to do anything even if he obtained the abyssal world’s Endless Gems because he did not possess a fire-type fey yet.

Upon leaving the water world, Lin Yuan noticed a significant presence of men and horses stationed at its entrance. The immense four-sided ice wall remained intact, sealing off the Class 6 water world dimensional rift. The recent calamity had clearly instilled fear in the Azure Federation, prompting them to exercise utmost caution.

However, Lin Yuan was not obligated to disclose the full truth about the water world’s situation to the Azure Federation. Even if he did, they couldn’t simply withdraw all their defensive forces stationed at the entrance based solely on his words.

As soon as the guards at the dimensional rift entrance caught sight of Lin Yuan, they promptly reported his arrival. Rather than rushing away, Lin Yuan took his time to engage with the members of the Azure Federation. Once he had completed his immediate tasks, he swiftly sought out the Moon Empress and escorted her into the water world.

Lin Yuan smiled at the Moon Empress and said softly, “Master, you may begin absorbing the water world’s moon! Don’t worry. No dimensional lifeform will disturb you while you’re absorbing the moon.”

Lin Yuan had not said everything explicitly, but the Moon Empress managed to read between the lines.

Lin Yuan was not the type to blow hot air. Instead, he was always careful and serious in his actions.

If he said that no dimensional lifeforms would disturb her, did that mean that he had conquered the water world just like he had done with the marsh world?

With the Moon Empress’ understanding of the abyssal world, she knew just how strong a dimensional world could be.

Had he achieved all this after just two months in the water world?

If the Moon Empress had only heard about this instead of witnessing it firsthand, she would never have believed it. The extent of power that Lin Yuan had gained would have allowed him to act freely without any restrictions or obstacles.

However, upon emerging from the water world, Lin Yuan showed utmost respect to the head guard from the Azure Federation. This not only protected the pride of the Azure Federation but also demonstrated the noble character of the Radiance Federation.

The Moon Empress couldn’t help but be amazed multiple times at how much her disciple had matured. It was evident that not only had his power grown, but he was also evolving into a true leader.

The understanding that one should never display arrogance solely based on their power was a lesson the Moon Empress had learned a decade ago when she suffered an injury that shortened her lifespan to a few years. Yet, her disciple already grasped this principle.

A sense of shame washed over the Moon Empress. Initially, she had been grateful to receive gifts from Lin Yuan. However, as he continued to bestow more and more upon her, the benefits far exceeded her expectations. The guilt she initially felt transformed into reassurance.

The Moon Empress used to find happiness in teaching and assisting Lin Yuan, considering it a joyous endeavor.

However, she now found another form of happiness in being cared for by her disciple.

Aware of the shift in their dynamics, the Moon Empress understood that she had transitioned from being a protector to a companion. She desired to spend the remaining years of her life witnessing his remarkable journey.

Lin Yuan had expressed his eagerness to explore the outer world on several occasions. This indicated his strong yearning to venture beyond.

While the Moon Empress had speculated about the existence of higher-level worlds outside the main world, she had never been able to validate her assumptions.

The calm and composed manner in which Lin Yuan discussed the outside world hinted at a significant discovery on his part.

If Lin Yuan possessed the ability to control the water world, he could potentially access other Class 6 dimensional rifts and assume control over different dimensional worlds.

As Lin Yuan continued to accumulate power, he would eventually outgrow the confines of the main world. Perhaps, riding on his achievements, the Moon Empress might even have the opportunity to explore the outer world herself.
