2542 The Insects’ Inheritance Nest!
The insect empresses ended up agreeing to Eternal Source’s request.
A shapeless stream of spiritual energy flew out from their brains and spread out in the barren desert.
Once the alien insects received the order from the insect empresses, they immediately dispersed.
The 13 insect empresses also used their own spiritual energy to call all the insect Turning Wheel Realm Dictators.
The alien insects of higher levels were able to exert control over those of lower levels. Their magnitude of control was even stronger than that of emperor-class mermaids over king-class mermaids.
Although some of the insect Turning Wheel Realm Dictators knew that the 13 insect empresses had fallen captive, they still followed the order and gathered together.
Once Eternal Source did a roll call and placed markings on the more than 300 insect Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, he led them all to Lin Yuan.
The 13 insect empresses were very curious to find out what kind of figure was able to tame an Afterlife Realm expert like Eternal Source.
But when they saw Lin Yuan, they could not sense any aura from this lifeform that Eternal Source was loyal to.
A humanoid lifeform in the form of a young man stood on the palm of an Afterlife Realm expert.
Naturally, the insect empresses and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators did not think it was because Lin Yuan was weak. There was no way weak lifeforms would be able to control such subordinates.
It might be that this young man was so powerful that they did not have the power to sense him.
When Lin Yuan found out that 13 insect empresses had arrived in the main world, he had found it to be ridiculous. They had even brought more than 300 insect Turning Wheel Realm Dictators with them. It could be said that they had deployed almost all their forces.
Thus, there was a high chance that these 13 insect empresses were carrying the books and Endless Gems.
Lin Yuan told the insect experts, “Hand over all your books and Endless Gems. I’m willing to accept your loyalty! Otherwise, I will search for them myself!”
Lin Yuan’s words had essentially stripped away the insect empresses’ icons of authority. They also now knew what Lin Yuan’s goal was, giving them a direction to work toward.
If Lin Yuan’s power had only just passed the pinnacle Samsara Realm and had not reached the Afterlife Realm, the insect empresses would never have agreed to such a request. This was because four of the 13 them had reached pinnacle Samsara Realm.
But now, there were two Afterlife Realm experts who had submitted to this humanoid lifeform in the form of a young man. Thus, it would be reasonable for them to submit as well!
If they could rely on a powerful lifeform, they would stand a better chance of leading the alien insect species toward glory.
Alien insects of lower levels were willing to listen to those of higher levels because of their bloodline and their natural inclination to show reverence.
While the other insect empresses were still thinking, Mexa had already made up her mind. She decided to place the alien insects’ future in this young man’s hands.
There was no guarantee that he would be able to bring glory to the alien insect species, but they had no other choice. That was the crux of the issue.
Mexa possessed a book, and since this young man wanted it and she had made her decision, she took it out and handed it to Lin Yuan.
“Lord, I have one of the books that you want. I’m going to give it to you now! I hope you will treat the insect species well!”
There was no need for Eternal Source to sing praises of Mexa to Lin Yuan. Mexa’s reaction alone was enough for Lin Yuan to know she was the smartest insect empress.
The Abyss Great Emperor levitated the book up to Lin Yuan, and he stored it inside the fountain of faith in the divine kingdom.
Once Lin Yuan ascertained there were no issues with the book, he replied, “I am kind to every species that become loyal to me. They all end up becoming outstanding. If the alien insects become loyal to me, I can promise you that an Afterlife Realm expert will emerge from your ranks within the next century!”
Lin Yuan’s words seemed to be replying to what Mexa said, but he was actually addressing all of the insect Dictators.
Lin Yuan seemed to be painting a rosy picture of the future, but this was actually how he treated all the species that became loyal to him.
Lin Yuan’s words caused all the insect empresses’ breathing to pick up.
If this young man was not lying to them, the alien insects were about to enter a golden era!
In the alien insect species’ entire history, there had never been a female thearch.
It was the dream of every insect empress to reach the Afterlife Realm. However, many of them had failed, and none had managed to achieve this dream.
If there was to be a female thearch, the young man could only choose from amongst the four pinnacle Samsara Realm insect empresses.
With this thought, the four pinnacle insect Samsara Realm Dictators started to breathe more quickly. Gray Enchantment, Issa, and Mexa were among them.
The other insect empresses followed Mexa’s lead and handed over their books.
Lin Yuan realized that the insect empresses only possessed five books. It was clear that this was all that the alien insect world had!
Lin Yuan frowned when he realized that none of the insect empresses had taken out Endless Gems.
After noticing this, Mexa explained, “Lord, the Endless Gem you mentioned might be what we call the Sacred Stones! We have placed all of our Sacred Stones in the Inheritance Nest. We are not refusing to hand them to you. If you want to obtain them, you must head to the Inheritance Nest!
“If you’re willing to enter the alien insect world, I can lead the way! If you don’t want to enter the alien insect world and have enough trust in me, I can help you retrieve them!”
Lin Yuan immediately replied, “If that’s the case, you can take me to your Inheritance Nest. It will also give me the chance to see if there are any treasures in the alien insect world. So many of the alien insects have arrived in the main world. But you must have left someone behind to watch over things, right? How many Samsara Realm Dictators are there in the alien insect world?”
When Mexa noticed that she was the only one to whom Lin Yuan was posing his question, she knew that her action had gained his trust.
Mexa had no intention of lying in that situation. There was no point in lying, her lie would be exposed once they arrived in the alien insect world, and the other insect empresses might expose her to gain favor with Lin Yuan.
Based on her knowledge, Mexa started to carefully describe the current combat power that existed in the alien insect world. She tried her best to be fully accurate!
