2616 Morbius’ Evolution!
The internal battle in the Azure Federation had shaken up the entire main world in the past.

There were both benefits and drawbacks when it came to structuring a federation around families.

The benefits were that such federations would be more concerned about a federation’s development than federations under the control of royalty.

A family would be deeply rooted and intertwined with the federation, making them pay more attention to the development of the federation.

However, once there was a split in opinion among the families, the conflict that should have been about the federation’s strategy would become one about the families’ personal issues.

When families fought, their priority would be to secure their own profits, and they were willing to fight to the death for them!

Such conflict was the most evident among feys. Whenever two species fought, it always resulted in the death of one of the species.

The 12 aristocratic families all had fey bloodlines, giving them their beast patterns.

There were already signs of daggers preparing to be drawn at this Azure Federation imperial meeting.

“You decided to ally with the Radiance Federation and gave up on remaining neutral between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation. I didn’t oppose this and went with your decision.

“We lost all the formidability of a major federation by following the Radiance Federation’s lead completely in the matter of the Freedom Federation. But I didn’t point out any doubts either. The favor that we owe the Radiance Federation can be said to be repaid. But now, you are suggesting we submit to the Radiance Federation. Yin Tong, what are you trying to do?”

An elder wearing a long blue robe with cloud patterns as well as a leopard crest on his chest stroked his beard and said seriously, “Lu He, watch what you say! Take a look at where you are! You will have to take responsibility for every word you utter in the Azure Federation’s imperial court!

“There are three things wrong with what you just said. Let me make things clear for you now!

“Firstly, you willingly participated in the vote during our imperial meeting to decide on forming an alliance with the Radiance Federation. No one coerced you through marital power; this was your voluntary choice. Therefore, you cannot claim you merely followed along.

“When you made your decision, it was in favor of the option most advantageous to the Azure Elf Cat species. Furthermore, the Azure Elf Cat species greatly benefited from aligning with the Radiance Federation within the Freedom Federation. If you have doubts about this, then the Azure Elf Cat species should relinquish these profits first.

“Secondly, you mentioned that the Azure Federation has repaid the Radiance Federation for their past assistance. This is entirely incorrect! Repaying the Radiance Federation remains an ongoing obligation for us.

“The Azure Federation found itself in a position of utter vulnerability when confronted with a crisis. The Freedom Federation explicitly refused to aid us during this critical juncture. Even when other federations boasting Class 5 Creation Masters observed our inability to handle the situation independently, they chose to remain passive observers.

“The Radiance Federation extended their helping hand precisely when we needed it most. Surely you recall what would have befallen the Azure Federation had they acted differently! Witnessing the fate of Fresh City in the Freedom Federation due to the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift serves as a stark reminder.

“The Radiance Federation rescued us; how could we ever repay such a debt? Our only chance to consider it repaid is if we, in turn, rescue them from a crisis. Have you lived so long that you’ve forgotten the fundamental principles of human bonds?”

Yin Tong, a man of few words, left Lu He utterly speechless with his recent statement. Beads of sweat formed on Lu He’s back.

Not swayed by Lu He’s expression, Yin Tong continued resolutely, “Lu He, our centuries-long camaraderie speaks volumes about our mutual understanding. You accuse me of aligning with the Radiance Federation, yet aren’t you the one consistently favoring the Freedom Federation? Is it not because of your ongoing dealings with certain members within the Freedom Federation?

“We convene here to resolve this issue, sparing niceties. Objectively suggesting that the Freedom Federation should be our ally over the Radiance Federation is nothing short of ignoring reality. However, if your stance is driven solely by personal gain, it reflects poorly on your character. Lu He, I’ve conveyed all that’s necessary. The floor is yours for rebuttal.”

Lu He’s lips twitched when he heard what Yin Tong said. He wanted to bite back but could not come up with a single word.

Everything that Yin Tong had said was true.

Although Yin Tong seemed to be pointing the finger at him based on principles, he was not wrong. If he tried to rebuke him, he would only be making specious arguments/

With so many people here, specious arguments would be exposed immediately and have no practical effect.

However, Lu He could not remain silent.

If he did not make a statement after being cornered by Yin Tong to such an extent, nothing he said during future imperial meetings would carry any weight!

With this thought, Lu He was about to speak when Fang Lingzhan patted him and said, “Old Lu, one should always set one’s sights as far into the future as possible. I’m sure you’re aware of this!

“The Freedom Federation is no longer the wielder of control. The one in control is now the Radiance Federation! Otherwise, why would the Freedom Federation have agreed to the Radiance Federation’s request and handed over so many resources? They even allowed the Radiance Federation to depart safely! I am also working with a few of the Freedom Federation’s royalty, but I agree with Yin Tong’s proposal!”

Fang Lingzhan was the leader of the Azure Soaring Eagle family, ranked among the top three of the 12 aristocratic families. It held a lot of sway in the Azure Federation’s imperial court.

Moreover, Fang Lingzhang was right in that the Azure Soaring Eagle family had always staunchly supported allying with the Freedom Federation.

He could only be changing his attitude now because he had considered the current situation and knew that the Freedom Federation was no longer the superpower they used to be.

However, the others did not agree with Fang Lingzhan. There were a few aristocratic families who were firmly against supporting the promotion of the Radiance Federation to the head of the Major Federation Union.

Because of Yin Lin, Yin Tong knew the most about the Radiance Federation out of the people present.

It was impossible to persuade the stubborn. Since they could not be persuaded, Yin Tong did not bother to do so. “Since we can’t see eye to eye, no one can make decisions for another. So, let’s not speak on behalf of each other. Let’s head to the Radiance Federation together so we can save ourselves from this senseless argument!
“If your minds aren’t changed even after you arrive at the Radiance Federation, you can make your stance clear to them then. I don’t feel any opposition toward this! But I suggest that you go and take a look at the Freedom Federation’s reaction first.

“Otherwise, if you end up impacting the Azure Federation’s profits, you will sin against the Azure Federation, which will be recorded in the history books! You will also end up erased from the Azure Federation, just like what had happened to those two families! That is my solemn warning for you!”

Yin Tong immediately ended the meeting after saying that.

It had not been Yin Tong’s intention to be so abrasive, but he saw no other option. If they had to argue to the point that a victor emerged, no one would be willing to back down, and the consequences would be irreparable! This was not what Yin Tong wanted.

These old men were stubborn, but none of them were fools. They would definitely understand their circumstances when it came to such small matters!

At that time, the Freedom Federation’s reaction would definitely change the minds of these old men!

The time of the Freedom Federation had passed. It was time for the spotlight to shine on the Radiance Federation!

Given the circumstances, all the smart people would know not to resist as there was no way that it would lead to a positive result!

…

Lin Yuan finally woke up from his slumber.

The first thing he did was take out his phone to check the time. He saw that he had been sleeping for almost nine days.

Although he had woken up, Morbius was still asleep.

Once Morbius woke up, Lin Yuan could witness Morbius evolve to Myth Breed!

Lin Yuan did not have to sleep again and could properly address all his business in the main world!

The Grotto Continent was in Wen Yu’s hands, so there was nothing for Lin Yuan to be worried about. The Moon Empress was handling the Major Federation Union. What Lin Yuan needed to do was use the Land Imps to build the base in the Radiance Federation.

Before Lin Yuan went to sleep, he left the matter of handling the delivery of the Land Imps to Liu Jie, and he had great faith in Liu Jie’s competency.

Indeed, Liu Jie had not disappointed Lin Yuan and had delivered the Land Imps in batches to the Radiance Federation.

There was no way that the Land Imps could be delivered through the Space Tunnel. After all, Lin Yuan did not have enough Item-Storing Walnuts to support such a method of transportation.

Luckily, the Startling Lines Continent was not far from the Radiance Federation, and the Island Whales could be used for long-distance deliveries!

Lin Yuan had already informed the Moon Empress and the Radiance Federation had sent more than 30 Island Whales who were already waiting in the Great Lush Federation’s harbor. All Liu Jie needed to do was move the Land Imps to the Great Lush Federation’s harbor once he had taken stock of them in Thick Soil City!

By the time Lin Yuan woke up, almost 40,000,000 Land Imps had been delivered to the Radiance Federation.

As such, there was no need for Lin Yuan to head to Thick Soil City. He could sit tight and wait in the Radiance Federation.

He needed an extremely large space in order to organize these Land Imps. It would not be easy to find such a space.

When the Moon Empress found out about Lin Yuan’s plan, she made advance preparations and dug out six mountains near the Royal Capital.

These six mountains were the Radiance Federation’s Royal Capital’s most famous vacation spots and were usually bustling with activity. Visitors from other cities always paid them a visit.

But special times called for special measures. The six mountains were not large enough to house all of the Land Imps. However, the Land Imps could alter the ground of the six mountains and create expansive underground spaces where they could reside.

Lin Yuan instructed the Land Imps to clean up the environment around the six mountains before they began building the underground spaces.

He had already prepared all of the resources. Once the Land Imps arrived, they could immediately begin working on the mountains and changing the environment of the Radiance Federation so as to prevent the dead spirits from breaching the Radiance Federation’s ground!

Lin Yuan’s idea seemed like a pie in the sky, but not only would the Land Imps be able to fulfill Lin Yuan’s plan, but they would even go beyond what Lin Yuan had asked in order to curry favor with him and demonstrate their value!

Once Lin Yuan was certain that the Land Imps had started working and could carry out his request, he immediately headed to the Radiant Moon Palace.

It had been a long time since Lin Yuan had the chance to sit down and have a good chat with the Moon Empress.

Both of them had been busy. But the invitations for the Major Federation Union had already been sent out. The Moon Empress could take a good rest for the next few days before the royalty from the other federations arrived.

The Radiance Federation’s establishment of the Major Federation Union should be extremely joyous. However, none of the Radiance Federation’s royalty looked happy because they were all aware of Tower Canon’s evil scheme.

With this impending disaster that was approaching the main world, the Radiance Federation’s members of royalty were all doing their best to protect the Radiance Federation.

Resources were rapidly being stocked up. The Radiance Federation’s royalty were not stingy with their personal resources, and this especially applied to Cicada Song!

Cicada Song had distributed almost all of his resources to the 32 City Lords so they could develop the City Guards to the maximum extent. This would not only involve increasing the City Guards’ power but also increasing their numbers. This would also ensure that every reserve guard obtained a Platinum fey.

If the dead spirits invaded the cities, the reserve City Guards would be the main pillar of strength that protected the Radiance Federation’s citizens!

The Radiance Federation’s royalty all released their own resources to elevate the Radiance Federation’s overall power, and the top resources given out by the Moon Empress had also allowed the royalty’s own power to increase significantly.

The veteran and top factions of the Radiance Federation had also improved substantially.

Now that Lin Yuan was back in the Radiance Federation, he should be helping the experts whose feys needed help overcoming their World Cleansings.

However, it was urgent that Morbius evolved its grade and quality.

Once Morbius evolved its grade and quality, not only would the spirit qi crystals be produced at a faster rate, but the amount of spirit qi contained in each spirit qi crystals would also increase.

Lin Yuan had just arrived at the foot of Leaning Moon Mountain when he heard Morbius’ voice in his head. “Partner, I can evolve at any time! Before I evolve, you will need to find a place for me that is completely empty. This evolution will cause a rather large commotion! I can promise that this evolution will benefit both of us significantly!”

Lin Yuan was delighted and immediately used the Ethereal Jellyfish’s Node Transportation to travel to a remote location at the border of the Royal Capital and Ascending Dragon City.
