2781 Purple Afterglow’s Beauty Dispersion!
The Moon Empress now felt at ease and could use Lin Yuan’s resources to evolve her feys without worries.
Lin Yuan remained in the Radiant Moon Palace to help the Moon Empress increase her power.
He had helped Liu Jie and Wen Yu to increase their strength extremely quickly, but helping the Moon Empress was a slow and long operation.
…
Eight months went by.
When the Moon Empress emerged from the quiet room, she was a pinnacle spirit-fire expert.
Lin Yuan did not help her break through to the Divine Kingdom level because Fan Lou had yet to return to the Sky Beyond the Clouds and could not help hide the accompanying signs of the evolution.
If he helped her break through now, it would attract more invaders from the Sky Beyond the Clouds to come to the main world to cause trouble. That would be very bad news!
Lin Yuan’s feys had also been breaking through continuously. Even Purple Afterglow, who never used to work hard, suddenly became diligent.
With the sea of resources provided by Morbius, it evolved from Suzerain/Myth II to Sovereign/Pinnacle Creation within eight months. It was now only a step away from reaching Immortal Breed.
Out of all the feys absorbing these outstanding resources, Purple Afterglow’s rate of evolution was the quickest. After all, unlike Green Vine, Lin Yuan’s other feys could not absorb energy and transform it into their own energy.
If Lin Yuan could use his body composition to evolve his feys, he could enable them to undergo a series of breakthroughs in a very short span of time.
The Moon Empress gently lifted her hands and sensed the new power flowing through her body.
A bittersweet feeling filled her heart.
Firstly, from the method that Lin Yuan used to increase her power, the Moon Empress realized that her previous increases in power had been minuscule.
All Lin Yuan did was place his hand on hers, and her power skyrocketed.
Previously, trying to awaken her birth horoscope had almost cost her her life.
The other members of royalty were unaware of the method by which Lin Yuan was helping her increase her power. If they found out, it was likely they would also feel a sense of bitter surrealness about their previous experiences of increasing their power.
Lin Yuan fully understood how the Moon Empress was feeling.
This was similar to his previous life when players promised themselves they would not spend money on cheat codes in a game, only to find out eventually that the players who spent their days grinding away and working hard were nothing more than entertaining fodder for the players that did spend money!
At that moment of realization, even the most strong-willed and passionate players would choose to give up on the game.
Secondly, the Moon Empress had always had her guesses about what spirit fire power entailed. But now that she had reached that level, she realized that all her guesses had been far off the mark. In reality, spirit fire was far more fearsome than she had ever guessed.
If Lin Yuan had not taken control of the marsh world and used the Samsara Realm Dictators to keep the Mirror God and God of Fools in check, the Radiance Federation would not have been able to fend off an attack from them.
She had underestimated the spirit-fire level!
Now, she had gone beyond spirit fire and was at pinnacle spirit fire.
It would not be long before Lin Yuan helped the Divine Kingdom level, a concept she had never even heard of in the past.
At that time, it was likely that the spirit-fire level would seem insignificant!
“Little Yuan, you’ve been here all this time helping me evolve. You must have many things to attend to. Go ahead and do them! I also need time to sense and experience my current power. Currently, I feel as though this power doesn’t belong to me.”
Lin Yuan chuckled.
This was exactly how he felt when he first awakened his birth horoscope. But it did not take him too long to adjust and become comfortable with his increased power.
It was true that there were many things that Lin Yuan needed to do.
Now that he had increased the Moon Empress’ power, Lin Yuan would go on to help Liu Jie and Wen Yu to increase their power.
During the past eight months, Lin Yuan’s own power had increased substantially as well. The stronger the person whose power he helped increase, the greater the feedback of energy he would obtain.
From this, Lin Yuan could see a path to rapid power growth.
…
After exiting the Radiant Moon Palace, Lin Yuan heard Purple Afterglow’s voice in his head.
Purple Afterglow was urging Lin Yuan to help it increase its power. He felt he needed to have a proper talk with Purple Afterglow so he could learn what had caused it to change its lazy ways and become as diligent as it was now!
Lin Yuan released Purple Afterglow.
This was one of the rare occasions where Purple Afterglow appeared before Lin Yuan in its human form. It had a pitiful and pleading expression hanging off its handsome countenance.
Lin Yuan was in no rush to ask Purple Afterglow his question because it was still talking to him in his head.
Lin Yuan first used True Data to check on Purple Afterglow.
[Fey Name]: Purple Afterglow Beauty Goddess Butterfly
[Fey Species]: Flash-butterfly species/scaled-butterfly species
[Fey Grade]: Sovereign (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Spiritual/Soul
[Fey Quality]: Creation IX
Abilities:
[Silence Scale Powder]: A special scale powder with the ability to silence is released, and any target that comes into contact with the scale powder will be unable to use spiritual power abilities. The scale powder will also be absorbed into the target’s spiritual power. Each time the target uses spirit qi, their spirit qi will end up cracking.
[Flashing Scale Dance]: Its images will be formed from the scale powder released into the air. It will be able to flash back and forth between itself and the formed images. While it is traveling, it can absorb energy from its surroundings to quicken the production of scale powder.
[Scale Light Butterfly Image]: Scale powder in the wings will be used to refract light. When light fills its reflection, its charm will be boosted, and it will gain absolute control over butterfly-species feys.
[Beautiful God Hallucination]: When a target is being attracted and sees one as a beautiful god, one will be able to adjust according to the target’s features and pick a lifeform to turn into the target’s definition of unsightliness. If the target and the lifeform have a positive connection, it will disappear momentarily. If they do not have a positive connection, the target will attack the lifeform.
[Species Praised Beauty]: When attracting a target and receiving its worship, the target’s species will also be affected and instinctively feel positively about the Purple Afterglow Beauty Goddess Butterfly.
[Beautiful God Cutting Wings]: Flap its wings to produce sequential cutting attacks. A special Beautiful God Engraving will be formed on the target’s body. Every engraving requires 16 cutting attacks to be formed. The target with a formed Beautiful God Engraving will trigger its own emotions to the greatest extent. Anything related to energy will be prevented from moving in and out of the target’s body.
[Beauty Assessment Plundering]: When one’s beauty stupefies a species and takes over that species’ assessment of beauty, it can set the standard with its beauty and become the definition of beauty for that species. Besides itself, the species would not see any other lifeform as beautiful. It would not detest and be repulsed by lifeforms that previously met their standards of beauty.
[Beauty Dispersion]: When other feys feel love for it, their amazement and recognition of its beauty will turn into a special scale powder that can be used to increase the power of other butterfly-species lifeforms. (This is only effective on butterfly-species lifeforms with inferior bloodlines.)
Exclusive Skill:
[Scale Powder Halo]: The scale powder has strong reflective abilities, and the target that lays eyes on the scale powder will be affected by the reflection. The target will start to feel dizzy and experience temporary blindness.
[Soul Beauty Goddess]: By activating the power of the spirit and soul, the beauty will be increased to a limitless level. The target will be attracted and fall in love. The target will want everything of the object of its love on its body, and the target will want to collect everything connected to the object of its love.
[Beauty Reaches Every Species]: Each time it receives the recognition of a species and becomes their standard of beauty, its charm would be eternally strengthened.
[Extreme Mesmerization]: When the mesmerizing ability is used on an entity, it can give up its scale powder in exchange for boosting its mesmerizing ability.
When he saw the data, Lin Yuan could guess the reason for Purple Afterglow’s anxiousness.
Love was the reason!
The last time that Lin Yuan checked Purple Afterglow’s data, it had only been a Suzerain/Myth fey. But now, it was Sovereign X/Creation IX.
Purple Afterglow had only gained one new ability and exclusive skill. The new ability Beauty Dispersion would allow Purple Afterglow to utilize other lifeforms’ recognition of its beauty to create a special scale powder that could rapidly boost the power of other butterfly-species lifeforms.
It was likely that Purple Afterglow wanted to create as much of this scale powder as possible to improve the Kill Food Sky Butterfly.
There was a limiting clause to Purple Afterglow’s use of its scale powder to strengthen the bloodline and power of other butterfly-species feys.
However, this limiting clause was not much of a restraint to Purple Afterglow.
It was unlikely that a butterfly-species fey with a superior bloodline to Purple Afterglow could be found in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, much less the main world!
Spring had seen Purple Afterglow and had felt incredulous at its existence. Spring saw Purple Afterglow’s bloodline as a miracle.
She confirmed that there were very few butterfly species in the Sky Beyond the Clouds that could compete with Purple Afterglow’s bloodline.
Now that Purple Afterglow’s power had increased, it could gather as many dependent species as it wanted in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
The Sovereign ability, Beauty Dispersion, could be considered a functional-type ability. Meanwhile, Lin Yuan felt that the Creation Breed exclusive skill, Extreme Mesmerization, was a combat-type exclusive skill.
It significantly increased Purple Afterglow’s ability to mesmerize an entity. This meant that Purple Afterglow’s ability to mesmerize targets in combat had grown stronger.
In the past, when Purple Afterglow was still very weak, it could only use its scale powder to cause targets to lose their ability to sense elements.
But after the many evolutions that it had undergone, Purple Afterglow’s abilities now centered around mesmerization.
Extreme Mesmerization significantly increased Purple Afterglow’s combat abilities. It could now use mesmerization to take control of and kill targets.
Purple Afterglow was madly in love with its partner.
As its de facto father, Lin Yuan could not refuse such a request.
Lin Yuan said, “Purple Afterglow, focus on increasing your own power for now. Later, I will prioritize evolving you to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. You will be just as powerful as the Jasmine Lily and Blackie!
“Once we get to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, you can collect dependent species freely. The Kill Food Sky Butterfly’s power won’t be lagging either! If you are in a rush to increase the Kill Food Sky Butterfly’s power, it will be much easier for me to help to increase its power than for you to do it!”
Purple Afterglow hurriedly expressed to Lin Yuan that it wanted to use its own abilities to increase the Kill Food Sky Butterfly’s power.
…
After soothing Purple Afterglow, Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion.
He had yet to reveal the fact that he could use his body composition to raise the ranks of spirit qi professionals.
After he was done helping Wen Yu and Liu Jie to increase their power, he intended to contact Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Xia Qing, Gao Feng, and the rest to ask if they wanted to venture to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
In the past, he never considered Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and the rest when he made his plans to head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
This was because they lacked power and because he was unable to help them become powerful enough to handle the journey that he was going to embark on.
But now that he had gained such abilities, it went without saying he could begin taking them into consideration!
Wen Yu and Liu Jie already heard Lin Yuan’s news.
Not long ago, they had been overjoyed at becoming S-rank spirit qi professionals.
Yet now, Lin Yuan was giving them the chance to become experts who were as powerful as the Moon Empress! This was an opportunity they had never even dared to dream of in the past!
The stronger they became, the more they would be able to accomplish.
When they went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, they would only be able to help Lin Yuan manage the new subordinates they gathered if they themselves possessed great power.
If Lin Yuan’s new subordinates were much stronger than them, Liu Jie and Wen Yu would run into many issues while managing them.
While Liu Jie and Wen Yu were both eager to increase their power, Wen Yu allowed Liu Jie to go first. This was because she knew that his yearning to increase his power was stronger than her own.
…
While Lin Yuan was helping Liu Jie to increase his power, Winter watched Kong Huan, the two Alluring Foxes, and Fan Lou climb onto the Abyss Beast’s back before departing to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
When Kong Huan and Fan Lou were first captured by Lin Yuan, they had been bitter enemies. Kong Huan hated Fan Lou for betraying her while Fan Lou was terrified that she had ill intent toward him and would seize any opportunity to kill him!
But now, the two of them knew that they were both under Lin Yuan’s control and could not lay a hand on each other. As such, they decided to work together and had a collaborative relationship.
When they returned to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, they would watch each other’s backs and do their best to ensure that everything went smoothly!
Kong Huan would create some issues that would shift the attention of the Sky Beyond the Clouds’ factions away from Fan Lou and this Class 2 world.
