Chapter 409: Mermaid King

"There are over fifty thousand residents inside and outside Luolong County, and they lack food. Although I brought high-yield crops like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn from Earth, it will take at least a few months for the seeds to mature. The food gap during this period is quite large; these Shark Sea Demons are just right for the common people to eat." Meng Yifan looked at the sixty-meter-long shark meat and pondered.

One Shark Sea Demon can produce at least 200 tons of meat. If calculated based on one person eating two kilograms of meat a day, this one Shark Sea Demon is enough for all the people in the city to eat for nearly twenty days. There are fifteen Shark Sea Demons in front of him; the meat produced from them is enough for everyone in the city to eat for 300 days.

So much meat is enough to support the maturation of high-yield crops like sweet potatoes. It can be said that everyone in Luolong County will no longer be troubled by hunger from now on, which is very beneficial to Meng Yifan's rule.

From He Dongliu's memories, Meng Yifan learned that to repair a world, a large amount of energy is needed. To obtain this energy, there are generally several methods. One is to collect a large number of Spirit Stones from the outside world and use the energy of the Spirit Stones to directly repair the damaged world. This method is the simplest and fastest.

However, this method is not applicable to Meng Yifan because he is short of money. Although he has a few Spirit Stones, such a small amount of Spirit Stones is simply a drop in the bucket for repairing the Five Elements World.

There is another method, which is to sacrifice a large number of living beings within the world and use the energy after these beings die to repair the world.

This method has endless future troubles. Unless Meng Yifan is not planning to break through the Seventh Grade Realm, he cannot choose this method. Moreover, this method belongs to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and draining the pond to catch the fish; slaughtering a large number of living beings within the world will seriously interfere with the world's operation, and if it exceeds a certain limit, it may even lead to the collapse of the world.

There is another way, which is to collect Faith Power within the world and condense the spiritual wish power of all living beings to repair the damaged world. This method of obtaining energy is the gentlest and can be developed sustainably. Meng Yifan is prepared to adopt this method.

The more than fifty thousand residents of Luolong County are all grateful to Meng Yifan and are all his believers. Meng Yifan plans to transfer all the believers in Luolong County into his own world after he collects the Five Elements World Origin and refines it into his own world.

The Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty is in the end times of a dynasty, with continuous droughts for years, coupled with the invasion of the Demon Race and constant wars on all sides, leaving the common people displaced, and many people can no longer survive.

At such a time, as long as Meng Yifan can provide them with basic living conditions, it is very easy to buy people's hearts and develop believers.

As long as there are enough believers, they can provide a large amount of Faith Wish Power every day. Meng Yifan's world will not only be able to maintain normal operation but can also continue to develop and grow.

Thinking of this, Meng Yifan's eyes lit up. Looking at these Shark Sea Demons, it was as if he saw granaries one after another.

Meng Yifan waved his right hand and put the Shark Sea Demon that had been torn into two halves into his Space Ring. These two huge chunks of meat almost filled his Space Ring.

At the same time that Meng Yifan made his move, Lang Batian and the other three also attacked the Shark Sea Demons. They were all Fifth-Grade Experts, and even if their strength was affected in the deep sea, it was more than enough to deal with Fourth-Grade sharks.

In just this short while, Lang Batian and the other three had already killed one Shark Sea Demon each. With so much flesh and blood, Meng Yifan's Space Ring simply couldn't hold it. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly said, "Don't kill the remaining sharks; just knock them unconscious."

Lang Batian and the others looked at each other, not knowing why Meng Yifan wanted to do this. However, all four of them were Meng Yifan's Soul Servants, and they could only obey Meng Yifan's orders.

Soon, the remaining Shark Sea Demons were all knocked unconscious. Meng Yifan used the Binding Demon Rope to tie all these Shark Sea Demons up.

Just at this moment, the mysterious war song stopped. The seawater in the distance formed whirlpools, and a Fifth Grade High Tier Sea Demon, half-human and half-fish, wearing a crown, holding a Trident in his left hand and a conch in his right, walked out from the whirlpool.

Behind this Mermaid Sea Demon King, there were five Fifth Grade Middle Tier Sea Demons with different forms. From their appearance, it could be seen that their true forms should be a crab, a loach, a lobster, a scallop, and a sea turtle.

Not only that, after these Fifth-Grade Sea Demons walked out of the whirlpool, another one hundred Fourth-Grade Sea Demons and over five hundred Third-Grade Sea Demons walked out one after another, surrounding Meng Yifan and the others in three inner and three outer layers.

Watching so many Sea Demons appear, Meng Yifan's expression was solemn. Many ants can kill an elephant; if so many Sea Demons launched an attack, it would be enough to keep Meng Yifan and the others busy dealing with them.

The most important thing is that Meng Yifan is now facing the same problem as He Dongliu. Although he controls the Wood Element and Earth Element World Origins, the energy inside them is not much. The whole world needs a large amount of energy to repair, and he cannot waste too much energy on these Sea Demons.

Meng Yifan sensed through the Wood Element World Origin and discovered that the Water Element Origin was inside this Mermaid Sea Demon King. The magical war song just now was also blown by this Mermaid using the conch in his hand. With the help of that war song, these hundreds of Sea Demons would fall into a state of madness and fight desperately without any fear.

"Outsider, why have you come to my world to hunt my people?" the Mermaid Sea Demon said angrily.

"Your world? Little Fish, have you forgotten that this Five Elements World belongs to me, including your life, which I bestowed upon you?"

Meng Yifan knew from He Dongliu's memories that this Mermaid was a Water Element life form created by He Dongliu a thousand years ago. When he fell, he left the Water Element World Origin inside the Mermaid to manage the Water Element World for him.

"You called me Little Fish?" The Mermaid King was stunned. In his memory, only his master had once called him that, but the person in front of him was not his master at all. Why would he know his nickname was Little Fish?

Meng Yifan released He Dongliu's Spiritual Power and said, "Little Fish, I am your master. I have awakened and come to take back the Water Element World Origin."

The Mermaid King felt that kind of spiritual fluctuation and confirmed that it was indeed the Spiritual Power of his former master. However, compared to the master of that year, this Spiritual Power was as weak as an ant.

The Mermaid King was somewhat conflicted. He had kept the Water Element World Origin for as long as a thousand years. In such a long time, the Water Element World Origin had already merged with his body.

If the Water Element World Origin were extracted now, not only would he lose control over the Water Element World, but his cultivation would also drop to the Third-Grade Realm. This was something he could not tolerate.

The Mermaid King held the Trident and shouted, "No, you are not my master. You are an intruder. I, in the capacity of the Sea Demon King, order you to get out of my world immediately."
