Chapter 2828 Genius Finally Breaks Through!
"Senior Feng Nuo, thank you for your reminder! I am well aware of the importance of this operation. I will try my best to complete the trade with the Dark Pufferfish! However, you know that the Dark Pufferfish's demands are unreasonable. I will need some time to think about completing this trade successfully.
"You also said that you're here to protect me. I won't be in any danger while I'm here. Why don't you and the Light Wind Wolves rest here for a few days? I will use the time to come up with a plan. I need to communicate with the Dark Pufferfish privately to try and convince them to compromise."
Fan Lou knew that Feng Nuo was worried about the consequences he would face if the plan failed. Additionally, he wanted to clarify their responsibilities, hoping that Fan Lou would shoulder all of the liabilities.
If Fan Lou had not had Lin Yuan's support and had made it this far on his own, he would definitely have been unwilling to take on any responsibility.
Feng Nuo and the rest were indeed there to protect him. But at the same time, they were also responsible for assisting him in completing the trade.
But now, the trade with the Dark Pufferfish was no longer an issue for Fan Lou. Hence, Fan Lou did not mind putting on an act for Feng Nuo and the Light Wind Wolves.
Feng Nuo and the Light Wind Wolves did not protest when Fan Lou voluntarily took on full responsibility.
Feng Nuo and the rest had also been present in the previous meetings with the Dark Pufferfish.
The Dark Pufferfish's attitude was one of complete unresponsiveness. Regardless of how capable Fan Lou was or how silver his tongue was, he would never persuade them.
The Dark Pufferfish were only after practical resources. These were resources that Fan Lou could not supply!
…
On the first day, Fan Lou acted extremely anxious and restless in front of the Forbidden Wolf Team.
Fan Lou's fidgety demeanor gave the Forbidden Wolf Team a headache, thinking of him as spineless while also pitying him. He should have thought his capabilities through. How could he have attempted to involve himself in such a mission?
A trivial character who used to follow Kong Huan was now following Feng Qing and had fortuitously managed to earn Feng Qing's favor.
But his time in the sun had not lasted long before he came up against such a situation. What a poor fellow!
Fan Lou did not know what the Forbidden Wolf Team and Light Wind Wolves were thinking of him. But even if he did know, he would not care in the slightest.
…
On the second day, Fan Lou met with the Dark Pufferfish expert with whom he had previously interacted.
Previously, this Dark Pufferfish went to the Abyssal Beast where Fan Lou and the rest were residing.
This time, Fan Lou leaped into the Lonely River and entered the Dark Pufferfish's territory.
The Dark Pufferfish expert did not at all care about Fan Lou's gesture of coming to see him. He had already predicted that Fan Lou would soon be coming to meet him for a discussion in the hopes of convincing them to lower their demands.
But that was impossible!
The Dark Pufferfish would not budge on the amount of resources they had requested. In fact, they might even ask for more!
The Dark Pufferfish had no intention of sealing the deal with Fan Lou.
Rather, the Dark Pufferfish wanted to make things as difficult for Fan Lou as possible to attract the Bloodians there so they could discuss the trade directly with them.
However, this Dark Pufferfish expert had not expected a Bloodian to be arriving so soon!
When Fan Lou said that the Bloodian bigshot would arrive in two days to talk about the trade with the Dark Pufferfish, this expert was taken aback.
The Bloodians had always been arrogant. Since when did they start being so proactive?
The Dark Pufferfish had made such unreasonable demands because they knew how badly the Bloodians needed their poison. But this did not mean that the Dark Pufferfish dared to act in an overbearing manner toward the Bloodians.
This Dark Pufferfish expert said seriously, "I will inform the other members of my species immediately. When the time comes, we will send people to receive that honored guest."
At this point, the expert looked directly into Fan Lou's eyes and punctuated each word as he said, "Telling my species about this matter means that it is of utmost importance. If a Bloodian doesn't arrive in two days, you will have to answer for the consequences! Lying to the Dark Pufferfish will only lead to death!"
Fan Lou was not at all terrified when he heard the threat.
The Dark Pufferfish would soon be under Lord Lin Yuan's control.
In the future, they would be Lin Yuan's servants just like he was or be exterminated.
As high and mighty as they were now, they would soon be just as pathetic.
The Dark Pufferfish were only capable in the Lonely River. But once they were conquered, it was unlikely that Lin Yuan would have any use for them.
"Of course. I wouldn't come up with such lies unless I had real information! If I did that, the Dark Pufferfish wouldn't be the only ones coming after me. The Bloodians and all the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves would never let me off, either. Don't you know that the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves are under the Bloodians?
"However, the person the Bloodians are sending is no ordinary character. I hope that all the members of the Dark Pufferfish will be present."
Fan Lou's words caused the expert's expression to change. Before he could speak, Fan Lou continued. "Those words aren't coming from me, but the Bloodians. You can decide for yourselves if you want to cooperate. I only hope that you won't be lacking in courtesy if a high-ranking Bloodian appears!"
Once Fan Lou was done speaking, he excused himself and returned to the Abyssal Beast's back.
Fan Lou knew that he would definitely be unable to force all the Dark Pufferfish to appear. He could only coax them to appear by using his words.
The words he used had been enough. If he said any more, the Dark Pufferfish would become suspicious!
Now that Fan Lou had accomplished this matter, he immediately sent a message to Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
…
When Lin Yuan received Fan Lou's message, he thought, It looks like I'll have to act like a high-ranking Bloodian in two days!
For the past two days, Lin Yuan had been with Genius.
From the moment Genius arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, it had been preparing for its evolution.
It had been communicating with the Sky Beyond the Clouds' world wills and was beginning to make headway.
If Genius wanted to evolve and was capable of doing so, it went without saying that Lin Yuan would give it the greatest support.
"Yuan, you don't have to worry about me! I have already saved up enough tails and can use them to escape if I'm in any danger! You don't have to worry that I will suffer backlash from the world wills!"
Spring, who had been with Lin Yuan all this time, said seriously, "Lord Saint, if your fey encounters any problems during the evolution, I will step in to solve the issue. Not even world wills will be able to harm your feys!"
Lin Yuan relaxed when he heard what Genius and Spring said.
Among all of his feys, Lin Yuan had the deepest relationship with Genius and Chimey. After all, they had been with him for the longest time and were the two rays of light that shone even during his darkest times.
Lin Yuan could not imagine how he would have been able to endure all those tough times if they had not been there for him!
Lin Yuan reached out and stroked Genius' small head. He looked at Genius' billowing tails and could not help but give it a final piece of advice.
"Genius, your situation is special. Please don't force yourself and end up injuring yourself!"
Among all of Lin Yuan's feys, Genius and Chimey had the lowest levels.
It was not because Lin Yuan did not want to provide them with the resources to evolve. In fact, he wanted to wait until they arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds before increasing their strength because he wanted to give them even more chances.
Chimey needed to form links with the energy in celestial bodies to evolve. She would then produce a sun that was suitable for this world.
On the other hand, Genius needed to communicate with world wills and connect with them.
In order for Chimey to evolve, it needed to wait for Lin Yuan to arrive at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, where he could obtain flames that were of an even higher level than top-grade strange flames.
In the meantime, Genius could go first.
Genius nudged Lin Yuan's hand with its face before turning its amazonite-colored eyes toward the sky. Its long tails turned into ribbons of light that seemed to fuse with the surroundings. A mystical ripple of energy rose from Genius' body.
It did not take long for the world wills to begin rapidly gathering above Genius' head.
However, these world wills were different from the ones that gathered when the feys evolved to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. The previous world wills had an air of judgment, but these ones were communicating with Genius.
But regardless, Genius would have to endure the Trial of World Creation to evolve from Suzerain X/Myth III to Creation Breed!
In truth, Creation Breed was a level that was considered mediocre in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. It was not anything to be impressed by.
Genius' evolution went much smoother than Lin Yuan had imagined. It had not been as tumultuous as the previous ones. Genius also did not need to use Tail Trigger to sacrifice its additional tails.
As such, Genius naturally managed to evolve while communicating with the world wills.
Spring did not allow the Trial of World Creation to hit Genius. She raised her hand and helped Genius overcome the Trial of World Creation.
After the Trial of World Creation descended, the Creation World Ley Lines that descended were the same as the ones in the main world. Hence, the strength of the Creation World Ley Lines was the same.
Genius' appearance had not changed significantly. However, the feeling that it gave Lin Yuan was much more lively than before!
Its tails were much more slender and billowy than before.
Once the number of tails reached 12, it no longer increased despite the rise in its life rank.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Genius.

When the cat-species lifeforms under its protection evolve, its spiritual energy will increase, and its store of spiritual energy will increase as well.
Genius had only just reached Creation Breed. It would be some time before it evolved from Suzerain to Sovereign.
Lin Yuan felt that Genius' Creation Breed exclusive skill could stand toe-to-toe with the divine kingdom abilities of World Emperor/Divine Kingdom feys.
Lin Yuan's evaluation of Linked Fate Protection was not at all exaggerated. It was an extremely well-rounded ability!
