2722 The Attacking Tower Canon!
This question had come from Wen Yu.
She was not the type to be restless and impatient. These words did not fit with her personality.
Wen Yu had asked that because she was worried for the entire main world as well as Lin Yuan.
As someone whose skills lay in internal governance, all she could do now were managerial and organizational tasks. She could not help Lin Yuan in battle.
In this aspect, Wen Yu could not compete with Liu Jie.
All she wanted to do now was share Lin Yuan’s burdens. That was all.
After hearing that, Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he said resolutely, “I have set the Startling Lines Continent as the location for the battle against Tower Canon. The Startling Lines Continent will be where the lives of the Pages of Tower Canon come to an end!
“Judging from the current situation, we stand a good chance of emerging victorious over Tower Canon! The only thing we need to worry about is the Pages fleeing during the battle. It will be difficult to get our hands on them once they’ve fled.”
While Lin Yuan was battling Fifth Page Falling Rainbow and Eighth Page Eye Shadow, he got a general understanding of the power of the true Eight Pages of Tower Canon.
Falling Rainbow had already told Lin Yuan that her power was considered average among the Eight Pages.
If Lin Yuan fused with the Abyss Red Lotus, he would be able to keep the other six Pages down. Moreover, he had other secret weapons he could tap into.
But once the Pages of Tower Canon decided to flee during their battle, they could use their comrades as cover in order to do so.
If the Pages fled, they would undoubtedly cause horrifying disasters throughout the main world. It would be child’s play for them to leave a string of devastated federations in their wake.
Even if they decided to go into hiding instead of causing a commotion, they would become a malignant tumor.
Unless Lin Yuan was able to reach a new level of his fused state with the Abyss Red Lotus, it would be very challenging for him to search for and capture the scattered Pages.
Lin Yuan was well aware that his increase in power depended on his fusion with the Abyss Red Lotus and was bolstered by the dimensional worlds and Continent Vein Cores that the Abyss Red Lotus controlled.
But now, there were no more dimensional worlds and Continent Vein Cores for Lin Yuan to take control of.
Wen Yu and Liu Jie relaxed when they heard that.
According to Lin Yuan, he would not be in great danger regardless of what happened.
Neither Wen Yu nor Liu Jie thought it was important whether the Pages escaped.
They had not even expected Lin Yuan to give such an answer, and they believed he would be able to subdue Tower Canon.
Liu Jie and Wen Yu looked at each other, and there was a hint of shame in their eyes. Both of them still did not understand Lin Yuan’s power well enough.
Lin Yuan did intend to go to the Sky Beyond the Clouds but would be entering a state of seclusion in the main world before he made the trip.
Both of them planned to go into seclusion with him so they could increase their power to the greatest extent. Otherwise, once they arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, they would be useless to Lin Yuan!
If the Pages truly escaped while battling Lin Yuan, the demon insects that were constantly reproducing could be sent out to search and capture them.
Lin Yuan would be able to receive information regardless of whether the demon insects discovered where the Pages were or if they killed the demon insects.
Even if he could not capture the Pages quickly, it would only be a matter of time!
Wen Yu and Liu Jie discussed Lin Yuan’s plan for taking on Tower Canon with him. He told them about the ambush he had set up.
Wen Yu said, “Young Master, since Falling Rainbow is now your tool, I think we should make good use of her!
“If the Pages truly escape during your battle, they will definitely regroup. You can let Falling Rainbow flee during your battle. She will think that you are letting her go and will become a secret weapon that you can activate after the Pages have fled!
“Aside from Falling Rainbow, there are only six other official Pages of Tower Canon. Due to their differing personalities, they will definitely make different decisions when battling you. Some of them will want to battle you, while others could decide to flee after witnessing your power!
“If Falling Rainbow flees first, it is highly likely she will leave with her allies with whom she shares profits. This will allow you to get a sense of the different camps among the Eight Pages! If Falling Rainbow flees, it will also keep the other Pages from suspecting her.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up when he heard what Wen Yu said.
She was right! If he could use Falling Rainbow once, he could use her twice!
Lin Yuan felt a substantial amount of pressure taking on the remaining six Pages of Tower Canon.
If it was possible, he did not want to reveal more of his secret weapons.
After all, Epoch God Palace had yet to appear.
During the clash between the main world’s lifeforms and Tower Canon, Epoch God Palace was observing from the shadows.
Lin Yuan was in no hurry to tell Falling Rainbow about this information. Instead, he told Wen Yu and Liu Jie seriously, “Wen Yu, Big Brother Liu, I have a very important task for you. You should be aware that the main world is in such a state because the ley lines have been infected by death aura.
“Fortunately, the infection can be reversed! As long as the demon insects can find the ley lines, they can absorb the death aura. Keira has been commandeering the demon insect species.
“However, the demon insects with Class 3 and below Genetic Locks are even less intelligent than three-year-old children and are unable to react appropriately to information. The two of you will head out to search for the Radiance Federation’s underground ley lines. When the battle against Tower Canon is complete, we will begin clearing out death aura, starting from the Radiance Federation.
“If things go well, we will be able to put an end to this dead spirits crisis in the next few centuries and enable the main world to return to its original clean state!”
According to Falling Rainbow, Tower Canon had already fused the dead world’s roots with the main world.
Once the death aura was all cleaned, the dead world’s roots would become fertilizer for the main world’s roots.
At that time, not only would the damage in the main world be recovered, but it might be able to receive unexpected blessings!
Liu Jie and Wen Yu wanted to remain by Lin Yuan’s side and accompany him. As his retainer and assistant, they both wanted to tackle obstacles with him.
However, the task that Lin Yuan gave them was just as important.
They were the only ones to whom Lin Yuan could assign this task.
Wen Yu and Liu Jie nodded as they said, “Young Master, leave this matter to us. We will definitely do our best to work with the demon insects to search for the location of the ley lines in the Radiance Federation!”
Wen Yu and Liu Jie had interacted with numerous dimensional lifeforms and knew that the Land Imps could not only sense mineral veins but were able to detect ley lines as well. If they brought the Land Imps with them to search for the ley lines, they would be able to save a significant amount of time!
When he saw that Wen Yu and Liu Jie’s expressions were not as austere as they had been, Lin Yuan said in a low voice, “Aside from Tower Canon, there is another group called Epoch God Palace. I don’t know much about Epoch God Palace. I don’t know if they are friends or foes. Before we learn what Epoch God Palace’s true intentions are, we need to be on our toes and stay on guard!”
Lin Yuan’s expression was very serious while he spoke.
He learned from Falling Rainbow that it was highly likely that he was Epoch God Palace’s target.
Lin Yuan had no way of verifying if what she had said was true because she also did not know much about Epoch God Palace.
Tower Canon and Epoch God Palace’s interactions were limited to the singular clash that had taken place more than 6,000 years ago.
Lin Yuan only learned the reason for Tower Canon going into hiding after Falling Rainbow’s explanation.
Given that they had forced Tower Canon to go into hiding, Epoch God Palace had, in a way, protected the main world. Otherwise, the main world would have been conquered by the Eight Pages of Tower Canon long ago!
If he was not Epoch God Palace’s target, Lin Yuan would feel no animosity toward them.
Nonetheless, once Lin Yuan eliminated Tower Canon, he would focus on searching for Epoch God Palace before initiating contact with them.
After Wen Yu and Liu Jie left, Lin Yuan went to the Startling Lines Continent.
He took out the Thoughts Letter Paper and told the Moon Empress about his situation.
Given that he had almost 100% confidence in defeating Tower Canon, Lin Yuan wanted to give the Moon Empress peace of mind.
Spring and Summer had been watching and protecting Lin Yuan from afar. When they heard what he said, they felt afraid and uncomfortable. At the same time, their resentment for Falling Rainbow deepened.
Ever since Epoch God Palace landed in this Class 1 world, they had been hiding in order to minimize their impact on it. They had ignored all the ups and downs that the main world had undergone.
If Tower Canon had not sought them out and disturbed them, thereby affecting Lord Saint’s awakening and triggering Epoch God Palace’s wrath, they would have only emerged from the mountain for the first time a few days ago.
It was true that Falling Rainbow was fearful of Spring. She was the one who had slapped Falling Rainbow and crushed half of her body.
What right did Falling Rainbow have to say that Epoch God Palace was targeting Lord Saint?
Even if Epoch God Palace was truly targeting Lord Saint, their meaning of target was different from how it was currently being interpreted!
It was all Autumn’s fault for blabbing in response to Third Page Violet Light Green and Fourth Page Cavity Orchid’s question. Autumn should be the one to explain all of this to Lord Saint!
Spring and Summer had been around the perimeter of this Class 2 world.
All the lifeforms in this world were blessed to have Lord Saint’s presence in it!
As this world continued to develop, its name would eventually resonate throughout the Sky Beyond the Clouds!
…
Seven figures raced across the surface of the sea.
Sixth Page Wave Glow and Seventh Page Concubine Winding both had grim expressions as they sensed their surroundings. Neither of them could pick up even a hint of Eye Shadow’s presence.
Although the rest of them could not sense Eye Shadow when she used her treasure’s ability to mask her aura, it seemed unlikely that she was making her aura constantly! She needed to deplete her energy to mask her aura!
Eye Shadow had yet to recover her roots. How could she sustain such a long period of depletion?
Falling Rainbow knew that Wave Glow and Concubine Winding were very suspicious of her. However, she did not intend to give them any sort of explanation.
After all, once they arrived at the Startling Lines Continent, her lie would be exposed, and the other Pages would see that she had betrayed them.
Giving them an explanation now would not affect the result. Falling Rainbow could not be bothered to waste the effort!
Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid were not worried about Eye Shadow’s safety. They did not care whether Eye Shadow died.
If she was truly dead, they would be able to claim a larger share of the resources from the main world. This would be extremely beneficial for them.
The two of them were very concerned that Eye Shadow had hidden some previous resources. This would prevent them from claiming their full share!
Regardless, once they found Eye Shadow, Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid would insist on inspecting her to ensure that she had not hidden precious resources.
Second Page Warbler Candle had remained by Falling Rainbow’s side.
When she saw Falling Rainbow’s frown deepening, Warbler Candle said, “I need Falling Rainbow to accompany me to retrieve something. We will meet up with the rest of you on the outskirts of the Startling Lines Continent, at the boundary of the marsh world and this world!
“Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid, the two of you can go first to investigate if you’re in a hurry. Regardless of what Eye Shadow has collected, we will support you in forcing her to spit it all out!”
Warbler Candle grabbed Falling Rainbow’s wrist.
Falling Rainbow sighed.
Warbler Candle knew her too well. She had to have noticed something off about her actions.
She needed to put more effort into thinking of how she should respond to Warbler Candle’s questions in order to appease her.
With her life currently in Lin Yuan’s hands, Falling Rainbow could not be bothered to consider Warbler Candle’s feelings!
After all, Warbler Candle would die eventually while she would be heading to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Violet Light Green, Cavity Orchid, Wave Glow, and Concubine Winding did not try to restrain Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow.
Warbler Candle commonly called Falling Rainbow away when such things happened.
However, they were all working together now, and Warbler Candle’s action seemed rather divisive.
On the other hand, Warbler Candle’s action could be understood.
First Page Crimson looked up and down at Falling Rainbow and Warbler Candle before saying, “If you’re going to leave, hurry up and go! We will wait here for you to return. If you haven’t returned after a day has passed, we will assume you have given up your share of this Class 2 world’s resources!”
After speaking to Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow, Crimson turned and told Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid, “I know you are worried. Any additional resources that Eye Shadow has swallowed will belong to all of us. We won’t allow Eye Shadow to get away with anything! I’m sure Wave Glow and Concubine Winding will understand.”
