Hearing the Founder's words, Lin Yuan was momentarily speechless.
To condense a powerful authority, he needed to accumulate more Transcendent Energy, which would take longer.
Didn't the Founder's final words amount to saying, "Take your time, but make sure you hurry!"?
He was contradicting himself!
"Forget it. At least I gained a lot this time."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
This meeting with the Founder had temporarily resolved the problem of a Great Being targeting him. That was his greatest gain.
Next, he had obtained a way to recover energy in his daily life, which was quite useful to him.
Finally, he had secured the other's promise to help at a critical moment.
However, getting the Founder to help required ten times the energy of a normal Nether River Monarch summoning-200 points of Death Seed energy.
The Death Seed could only accumulate 5 points of energy between two new moons. Reaching 200 points would take a considerable amount of time.
As such, this was a costly trump card.
From now on, I'll either spend 1 point of energy to summon the ordinary Nether River or 200 points to summon the Founder. I'll pass on the 20-point summoning.
Lin Yuan made up his mind.
Whoever he summoned with 20 points of energy would definitely be this tributary's original monarch, who had no reason to be friendly toward him.
"Still, the Founder being alive is good news."
When he previously learned that several of the Sanctum's strongest Founders had all fallen, Lin Yuan had truly begun to doubt the Sanctum Path.
This path ended in a direct confrontation with a Great Being, but it looked as though they couldn't beat one!
Now that he knew these members of the Sanctum still existed in another form despite having fallen, he regained some confidence
