2514 Negotiating with the Earth’s Sacred Fruit!
Red Thorn instructed the Abyss Great Emperor to throw the Earth’s Sacred Fruit into the pool and only pick the Earth’s Sacred Fruit out after all of its leaves and flowers had been washed clean.

Red Thorn knew that the Earth’s Sacred Fruit was useful to Lin Yuan, so it would not use too much force on it. But it did use some threatening tactics that left the Earth’s Sacred Fruit trembling in the Abyss Great Emperor’s hands. The two red flowers also drooped down in fear.

As they looked at the Earth’s Sacred Fruit in the Abyss Great Emperor’s hands, Mountain Furrow, Hollow Earth, and Rock Underworld felt the hairs on their bodies stand.

In a few days, the Earth’s Sacred Fruit would secrete its next batch of nectar. However, lately, the nectar production had slowed down, worsening their addictions.

Despite being captives of Lin Yuan, they found themselves in a strong state of craving. They could manage to control themselves before seeing the Earth’s Sacred Fruit, but once they laid eyes on it, all restraint was lost.

Lin Yuan had observed this and didn’t want them to be bound by the fruit. Thus, he periodically fed them the nectar to alleviate their cravings.

Morbius analyzed that the Earth’s Sacred Fruit’s nectar was meant to tempt and control its targets. Its ability to benefit other dimensional lifeforms likely affected the Earth Sacred Fruit as well.

Once the Earth’s Sacred Fruit bore fruit and lost its flowers, it would cease to secrete nectar anymore.

Lin Yuan needed Rock Underworld, Mountain Furrow, and Hollow Earth’s help to take control of the subterranean world.
Thus, now that the three of them were already embarrassed, Lin Yuan could not humiliate them any further.

He tossed three bottles of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia to them and said, “Drink the contents of these bottles, and it will cleanse the energy left by the Earth’s Sacred Fruit in your bodies that is meant to control you. Once you’ve consumed the contents and have purified yourselves, come and find me. After using it for a while, I’ll give you something else that will help you break free from the Earth’s Sacred Fruit’s control.”

Rock Underworld, Mountain Furrow, and Hollow Earth never expected Lin Yuan to give them such a reward right out of the gate and immediately fix their issue.

The three of them hurriedly thanked Lin Yuan.

Sources of water were very rare and not easy to find in the subterranean world.

Lin Yuan instructed Blue Umber to go with the three of them and help them to clean up.

Otherwise, with just the scant water sources available in the subterranean world, it would be difficult for them to wash away the thousands of years of impurities.

Blue Umber was overjoyed when Lin Yuan allowed her to interact with the subterranean world’s three Samsara Realm Dictators.

Regardless of whether Lin Yuan prioritized them, their power was undeniable. If she could interact with these three experts and form good relationships with them, this would only be beneficial for her.

Even Samsara Realm Dictators like Sweet Vanquish, who only joined Lin Yuan recently, knew that their battleground would extend past their own dimensional world in the future.

How could Blue Umber not be aware of this?

Next, Lin Yuan instructed the rest of the Samsara Realm subordinates to lead Sweet Vanquish, Lhalu, Demon Star, and the rest in settling the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators he had saved.

Lin Yuan had already demonstrated his power in the subterranean world. He did not need to settle the issues in the subterranean world himself. He could leave these tasks to his subordinates instead.

After Hollow Earth, Mountain Furrow, and Rock Underworld consumed the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar and cleansed their body of impurities, Lin Yuan decided to have a good chat with them before giving them the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds.

It would be better to keep the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators there for the next two months before the Endless Gems were combined to form the subterranean world’s treasure.

He also gathered all of the regular Dictators and stronger Apostles.

When the time came, he would be able to take control of the subterranean world through the treasure.

Lin Yuan prepared to study the Earth’s Sacred Fruit.

Lin Yuan had placed a lot of hope in the Earth’s Sacred Fruit and prayed it would not disappoint him! How many more Afterlife Realm expert subordinates he could gain would depend on the Earth’s Sacred Fruit!

It was clear that the Earth’s Sacred Fruit was different from the Abyss Red Lotus.

The Abyss Red Lotus was a fey that could be contracted, but the Earth’s Sacred Fruit could not.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan would not struggle to take control of the Earth’s Sacred Fruit. All he needed to do was use his strength to exert pressure on it.

He only decided to remove Hellfire Application’s effects from himself now.

He realized that Lotus Locks the World and Hellfire Application could boost him for a very long time. Moreover, the boosting did not put great pressure on his body as all of the pressure had been taken on by the dimensional world that the Abyss Red Lotus had locked.

However, Lin Yuan could not use these abilities too frequently because it would affect the dimensional world that the Abyss Red Lotus controlled.

Even if the impact was not significant, it would still harm the root power.

Lin Yuan would not fuse with the Abyss Red Lotus again in the future unless it was absolutely necessary.

Once he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus, he indeed became much stronger than Eternal Source.

Lin Yuan could sense that with his power then, he could have easily used the Abyss Red Lotus’ roots to kill Eternal Source.

However, his power was still within Eternal Source’s reach. Otherwise, he would not have felt slightly threatened by Eternal Source.

Lin Yuan walked over to the Earth’s Sacred Fruit, and Red Thorn manipulated the Abyss Great Emperor to walk over to Lin Yuan.

The Earth’s Sacred Fruit was exceptionally afraid of the Abyss Great Emperor. But now, it was even more afraid of Lin Yuan than it was of the Abyss Great Emperor!

The Earth’s Sacred Fruit knew that this humanoid lifeform was the one who controlled the black spiky roots and ruined its plan. Without his order, it would not have been dug out from the Mine-Birthing Well and put through all of this torture.

At that moment, the Earth’s Sacred Fruit heard a soft and pleasant voice say to it in the subterranean world’s language, “I know that you are decently intelligent. I would like to have a talk with you. What do you think about giving your fruit to me after I help you to ripen?”

Lin Yuan knew that using words to communicate with the Earth’s Sacred Fruit would not have much effect. It would only see his words as threats.

Hence, he took out an earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl and crushed it before the Earth’s Sacred Fruit.
