Chapter 1333: Island Whale’s Sorrowful Song
The amber light flooding the sea was so breathtakingly beautiful that it would mesmerize any creature that laid eyes on it.
Lin Yuan looked out into the sea and saw hundreds of giant whales sleeping peacefully at the bottom of the sea.
Three of the whales were especially large. By Lin Yuan’s estimation, they were at least 10,000 meters long. Moreover, they each had an island on their back. These were the Island Whales that were almost at the end of their natural lives.
It turned out that there were Island Whales in the whale fall. It was no wonder that Silver Umber Black had still decided to fight for the whale fall after finding out that An He was the disciple of a member of royalty.
It made sense now why Shark Awn had wanted to kill Silver Umber Black and the rest of the people on the island, even at the risk of breaking the agreement.
The sight of the three abnormally large Island Whales shook Lin Yuan to his core, and he once again marveled at how incredible and beautiful nature was.
At its prime, the Island Whale was even longer than 10,000 meters. Its size reached a peak when it reached the mature stage. But afterward, they would start to shrink as they grew older.
Once it reached 10,000 meters, it would mean that the Island Whale had reached its elderly stage. At the elderly stage, the Island Whale would swim around to search for an area of a sea where it would rest eternally and bless all creatures in the surrounding sea.
Judging from their size, Lin Yuan knew that these three Island Whales were dying of natural causes.
The Island Whales’ skin had started to decompose, revealing the fat underneath. Bones peeked out of areas where the fat was thinner.

Although the Island Whales were already decomposing and were 1,000 meters below the surface of the sea, the aquatic plants on the Island Whales’ backs were still thriving. This was because they had started to absorb the vitality released by the decomposing Island Whales.
Once the Island Whales were reduced to bone and the whale fall was fully formed, the plants would decay and provide the whale fall’s final nutrients.
The three Island Whales stupefied and rendered Lin Yuan speechless.
Although the other giant whales were technically large creatures as well, they did not leave as large of an impact on Lin Yuan. These other giant whales ranged from lengths of a few hundred meters to 1,000 meters.
As the giant whales continued to decompose, a light green layer formed around them. This green layer consisted of the floating aquatic plants and lifeforms that had formed during the Island Whales’ child stage.
Given that Lin Yuan had asked Liu Jie to use the Quiet Floating Hat Insect and Grounding Louse to protect the creatures in the sea, they had captured the weaker lifeforms and taken them away from the area. As for the stronger lifeforms, White Speak had chased them away while the Mother of Bloodbath was transforming into a Heavenly Family Fey.
As such, there were no lifeforms left that could consume the floating aquatic plants and lifeforms that came from the giant whales’ decomposition. This meant that none of the benefits provided by the whale fall had been moved.
No light reached the deep depths of the sea. The Sunlight King Lotus and ray of sunlight allowed light to reach where it had never reached before.
This not only caused the quantity of floating aquatic plants and lifeforms to multiply in a short period but also increased the rate at which the giant whales decomposed.
The green layer around the whales billowed out and permeated the rest of the sea, adding a green hue to the amber sea.
Lin Yuan was spellbound by this gentle way of benefiting the sea. He once again gained a new perspective on lifeforms.
Tens of crystal eggs were greedily absorbing the spirit qi and elemental energy released by the decomposing Island Whales.
The blue eggs slowly grew brighter as they continued to absorb spirit qi and elemental energy. These were the Island Whale embryos.
These Island Whale embryos were already formed and only needed spirit qi of a certain purity and a continuous influx of elemental energy to hatch.
Thus, if the Island Whale embryos were placed under Lin Yuan’s care, they would be able to hatch even without the nurturing of the whale fall.
Lin Yuan was in no rush to gather the tens of Island Whale embryos. Instead, he summoned Red Thorn.
Given that Lin Yuan had been busy on the rare occasion that he did enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he did so to travel to the marsh world through Klein Hub.
As such, he barely had time to spend with Red Thorn, and Red Thorn missed him badly.
Once Red Thorn was summoned, it flew to his face and kissed him before gently nuzzling him.
Eventually, Lin Yuan became itchy, and Red Thorn flew over to perch on his ear.
Red Thorn’s appearance astonished Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath. They did not immediately recognize Red Thorn.
Although they had seen Red Thorn before, they would never draw a line between that terrifyingly sinister and strange plant and this fairy source-type lifeform.
Additionally, this fairy source-type lifeform had six wings, and Liu Jie knew what this meant.
Liu Jie’s Insect Queen had four wings. After its mutation, its fairy source-type lifeform bloodlike had reached the pinnacle.
He had wanted to use the Insect Queen’s evolution to Myth Breed to enable it to become a six-winged fairy.
Liu Jie had already been secretly stunned when Lin Yuan summoned Silver Corona in the Divine Wood Federation. Its appearance had completely changed Liu Jie’s idea of fairy source-type lifeforms.
However, Liu Jie never expected Lin Yuan to have another six-winged fairy source-type lifeform.
Judging from its aura, Liu Jie could tell that this six-winged fairy source-type lifeform with vines for hair and a long red dress had a slightly more elite bloodline than the six-winged fairy source-type lifeform that Lin Yuan had summoned in the Divine Wood Federation.
Liu Jie already felt pressure by being by Lin Yuan’s side.
It was only when he gained control of more insect-species carcinoma feys that the pressure started to lessen.
But now, he realized that no matter how many insect-species carcinoma feys he gained control of, there was still a gap between him and Lin Yuan. If he battled against Lin Yuan, the latter could send out any of the six-winged fairy source-type lifeforms, and the pressure of their bloodline would impact the Insect Queen greatly as bloodline mattered more than power to fairy source-type lifeforms.
Regardless of their actual power, fairy source-type lifeforms with many wings would always be able to suppress fairy source-type lifeforms with less wings.
