2558 The Dark Continent’s New Ruler!
Given the low rate of production of Sky-Plundering Jade, it was likely considered a treasure in the foreign territory. After all, the Sky-Plundering Jade could help feys increase their powers while preserving their life rank.

Lin Yuan had finished cleaning the Sky-Plundering Jade off the Sky-Plundering Beast, so he took out the bath soap he had used to wash Genius and summoned a stream of water. He began washing the Sky-Plundering Beast.

The Sky-Plundering Beast, which acted more like a dog than a cat, did not have the habit of licking itself. If it did, its fur would not be as knotted as it was now.

Lin Yuan took a comb and carefully combed the Sky-Plundering Beast’s washed fur. After two more washes, the Sky-Plundering Beast’s transformation from a smelly little dog to a pleasant-smelling dog was complete.

The washed and combed Sky-Plundering Beast took Lin Yuan by surprise. In terms of looks, it resembled a cute and cool puppy. However, it had spent too much time locked up in this underground space, causing its personality to become timid.

Lin Yuan would need to find some playmates for the Sky-Plundering Beast to help its personality return to its original state. Once it had playmates, its confidence would slowly return, and it would begin opening up.

Lin Yuan took the Sky-Plundering Flower with him when he left the underground space. He also instructed the Source Sand to check the space to make sure that he had not left anything behind.

When Lin Yuan brought the Sky-Plundering Beast to the surface, it let out two cries upon seeing Keira, but it did not try to leave Lin Yuan’s arms.

Lin Yuan realized that the Sky-Plundering Beast was intelligent enough to know who treated it better. Keira had not visited the beast in a long time, so it resented her somewhat, even though it continued to fulfill its end of the bargain.

Keira was now Lin Yuan’s servant, and she knew that if she continued to rely on him, she would eventually be able to attain pure spirit qi. Therefore, she was not foolish enough to fight with Lin Yuan over the Sky-Plundering Beast.

At that moment, it could be said that Lin Yuan’s journey in the alien insect world had reached a checkpoint.

He said to Keira, “I will instruct the insect queens and empresses to return to the alien insect world. You will then begin managing and organizing them. Shift the alien insect world’s main camp near the entrance of the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift within a month.”

Keira did not understand why Lin Yuan issued such an order. But since he had said it, she had no reason to refuse.

“Lord, rest assured. I will do as you say and relocate the main camp within a month. I will be able to strengthen the alien insects within a short period. However, I will need that vitality-containing plant often from now on.”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, “This doesn’t just apply to the Soldier Ration Radish’s vines. If you need spirit qi or source-type energy in the future, I can supply you with those, too. Don’t forget to do your best to increase your power while developing the alien insects!”

Lin Yuan’s words allowed Keira to see that he cared. She was once again reminded of his generosity.

Now that Lin Yuan was done instructing Keira, he returned to the main world.
As Lin Yuan was contemplating the Sand Island Continent’s situation, he received a message from Su Yiren through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

She had already arrived at the Dark Continent, which was in a bleak state. Seventh Page War had destroyed all of its previous structures and infrastructure, and Su Yiren was heartbroken and furious.

With the support of Lin Yuan’s martial force and Luo Lan’s labor, Su Yiren began rebuilding the Seven States of Darkness. However, there were still voices of opposition.

She addressed these voices with an iron fist, showing no mercy. Within a week, she had managed to control the situation.

After all, Seventh Page War had disappeared suddenly, leaving her former loyalists in a state of confusion. They didn’t know what to do.

Seventh Page War had conquered the Seven States of Darkness but had not dismantled the previous organization. Instead, she had suppressed and buried it. After all, almost all of the Dark Continent’s experts lived in the Seven States of Darkness.

But after a year passed, she had only been successful in doing so with a small group of the Seven States of Darkness’ experts. There was even a group of experts whom she had forced into submission.

After Seventh Page War’s disappearance, there was no force holding the Seven States of Darkness’ experts down. Hence, these experts had desired to recover the Dark Continent long before Su Yiren arrived.

There were a few of these people who were using the guise of trying to recover the Seven States of Darkness while actually trying to put themselves in positions of power. But there was also a group who genuinely wanted to help the Seven States of Darkness return to its original glory.

Once these people with genuine intentions saw Su Yiren, they excitedly joined her and heralded her as the new ruler of the Seven States of Darkness.

Those who wanted to gain power for themselves started suspecting Su Yiren and pointing fingers at her. They questioned why she had not chosen to lay her life down for the Seven States of Darkness but fled instead.

If this was in the past, before she had attained absolute power, Su Yiren would be very aggravated by such a matter.

But now that she did possess absolute power, she could not be bothered to converse with these people and immediately eliminated them.

After reading Su Yiren’s report, Lin Yuan did not judge her methods.

Since everything was going well on her end, he would leave the matter of the Sand Island Continent to her. He really did not have time to waste on the continent, as he needed to sleep for the next few months to combine the books into tomes.

Once he had taken control of all five major dimensional worlds, he would have to travel the main world to search for the Continent Vein Cores.

There was still no news from Bei Xu, so Lin Yuan was uncertain if he was truly located on the other side of the Barren Sea.

Having made his decision, Lin Yuan sent his reply to Su Yiren.

[Lin Yuan]: The Sand Island Continent is in a very messy state. The alien insects have been settled, but someone urgently needs to step in and manage the situation. I think that you are the best choice for this job! Why don’t you take over and manage the Sand Island Continent? You will be able to use this opportunity to expand the Seven States of Darkness’ maps.
