2421 What Happens to the Emperor Scale!

After speaking to Brilliant Gold, Lin Yuan turned and looked at Dazzling Silver. “Bring me Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s Endless Gem and the Vast Sea Secret Treasures!”

Lin Yuan appeared to be directing his words at Dazzling Silver but was actually speaking to every mermaid emperor present. Naturally, this was with the exclusion of Brilliant Gold.

Once Brilliant Gold removed her emperor scale, she would become nothing more than an inconsequential king-class mermaid.

Grace Sacred Hall’s Endless Gem and Vast Sea Secret Treasures were in the two rulers’ possession.

Just like how the Green Field Secret Treasures represented dominion over the marsh world, the Vast Sea Secret Treasures were icons of the water world’s rulers.

There were a total of six emperor mermaids, but there were only three volumes of the Vast Sea Secret Treasures. Thus, there was not enough to go around for each of them to possess one.

Regardless of how united the emperor-class mermaids were, there had to be some who were willing to give up on such power.

Thus, the Endless Gem and Vast Sea Secret Treasures were both stored in the mermaids’ treasure vault.

Even if Lin Yuan had not become a merman thearch and gained the ability to enable emperor-class mermaids to break through, his current bloodline was enough to restrict the emperor-class mermaids from going against his will.

Currently, Lin Yuan possessed the most elite bloodline among all mermaids and had the authority to use any of their resources.

Although Lin Yuan had directed his question at Brilliant Gold, Dazzling Silver interrupted her before she could reply. “Lord Thearch, the three volumes of the Vast Sea Secret Treasures and the gem you seek are stored in the treasure vault!

“Brilliant Gold usually holds the key to the treasure vault. Since they belong to all mermaids, Brilliant Gold couldn’t have removed the Vast Sea Secret Treasures and Endless Gem from the treasure vault.

“If you receive the key from her, you will be able to retrieve the Vast Sea Secret Treasures and Endless Gem from the treasure vault at any time you please!”

Dazzling Silver turned and growled, “Brilliant Gold, give him your key now! Are you really going to wait for him to ask you explicitly before you do it?”

Brilliant Gold was completely at a loss about what to do.

It seemed as though Lin Yuan had given her two choices, but there was actually no difference between them. Either way, she would have to remove her emperor scale. Was there really a difference between doing it herself and having someone else do it for her?

Her possession of the key to the treasure vault represented her authority.

Her fall from grace from an emperor to a criminal had been so sudden that she was still struggling to process reality!

Nonetheless, she still took out the key to the treasure vault and handed it to Lin Yuan with trembling hands. She looked extremely pathetic as she was doing this, but Lin Yuan did not feel even a shred of sympathy.

If Dazzling Silver and the other five mermaids had not stopped Brilliant Gold, Eternal Source would not have been able to stop Brilliant Gold, given that he was out of his element and did not have Lin Yuan to boost him.

If Brilliant Gold had entered the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, she would definitely have tried to take the New Thearch’s Scale from him, or even tried to kill him!

Since Brilliant Gold was willing to go as far as to kill him, Lin Yuan had no reason to give Brilliant Gold a second chance.

Lin Yuan pointed at Brilliant Gold, and a jet of water shot out and transferred the key to Lin Yuan’s palm. “If you still haven’t made a decision, let me help you!”

This was the first time that Dazzling Silver was seeing Brilliant Gold in such a state.

Although Dazzling Silver had changed the way she saw Dazzling Silver, they still went a long way back. Dazzling Silver could not help but say to Brilliant Gold softly, “Brilliant Gold, Lord Thearch is only scolding you. He could have killed you. Don’t waste this opportunity that he’s giving you!”

Realization dawned on Brilliant Gold when she heard what Dazzling Silver said.

If she removed her emperor scale and gave it to Lin Yuan, she would be submitting to him. It would also be seen as her taking action to make up for her mistake.

But if Lin Yuan had to be the one to perform the punishment, it could no longer be taken as her making up for her mistake. Rather, it would be a punishment that he was doling out.

News of this would definitely get out. Without her emperor scale, she would be no different from a criminal at that time.

Brilliant Gold clenched her jaw and said, “Lord Thearch, I am aware of my mistake and am willing to pay the price for it! I hope you will spare me!”

Brilliant Gold plunged her hand into her forehead and tugged, revealing a light gold scale that resembled a crystal.

At the instant that Brilliant Gold removed this scale from her forehead, her entire aura weakened. Her gold hair and tail turned gray.

Every emperor-class mermaid was aware of the emperor scale because it was right in their foreheads.

However, mermaid emperors mostly only removed their emperor scales when they were on the brink of death.

Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, Dazzling Silver, White Brocade, and Red Beauty had never seen an emperor-class mermaid remove their own emperor scale.

Brilliant Gold was in a very pitiful state. Losing one’s color was the biggest punishment that could befall a mermaid. Although there was the possibility of regrowing the emperor scale in the future after recovery and recuperation and Brilliant Gold’s color would also eventually return to its original state, all the other mermaids would be aware of the sins that Brilliant Gold was carrying. This was similar to the stone insect branding of the Grotto Continent that Bei Xu belonged to.

“Lord Thearch, this is my emperor scale.”

Lin Yuan received the emperor scale from her. He already knew what his plans for it would be.

He intended to give it to the Goddess of Mercy so she could evolve her bloodline without earning his favor. This would be his way of thanking her for all that she had done for him. Otherwise, he would never be able to stop feeling like he owed her in some way.

Lin Yuan tapped Brilliant Gold’s emperor scale and sent it, as well as the key to the mermaids’ treasure vault, into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Lin Yuan had already established preliminary control over the water world. All he needed to do was retrieve the Endless Gem from the treasure vault, and he would be able to combine the two Endless Gems from the water world and take control of all the lifeforms from the water world.

Lin Yuan had already been in the water world for some time. But thanks to the Thoughts Letter Paper, he knew that no issues had cropped up in the outside world. There was also no more commotion from the Freedom Federation.

Due to his bloodline, Lin Yuan felt closer to the mermaids than he did to the sea beasts who had managed to become Samsara Realm Dictators like Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, Ancient Realm, as well as the Samsara Realm Dictators from the marsh world.
