2400 Stop Pretending! Extreme Ocean didn’t anticipate that his actions would lead Lin Yuan to order him to stay behind while selecting Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and Ancient Ocean to accompany him to the other world. They were about to fulfill a wish that even the two rulers couldn’t achieve. Someone needed to stay and watch over the water world. After witnessing Lin Yuan’s ability to enhance his subordinates, Extreme Ocean had no doubt that he could conquer the Mermaid Forbidden Sea. But would Lin Yuan also command him to remain and guard the water world once he gained control of it? That would mean he could never leave. The thought filled Extreme Ocean with panic, his mind going blank. Lin Yuan seemed unwilling to engage with him. Extreme Ocean lacked the courage to demand further conversation from Lin Yuan. Even if he wanted to apologize and kneel down, Lin Yuan might not give him a chance. Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and Ancient Ocean had suppressed their desire to see the outside world due to the two rulers. Lin Yuan kept only Eternal Source by his side and sent all the other Samsara Realm Dictators to the marsh world. Lin Yuan aimed to travel from Grace Sacred Hall to Mermaid Forbidden Sea, a journey that would take nearly ten days even with Eternal Source. During the next ten days, Lin Yuan assigned a new task to the Samsara Realm Dictators, which was to create unrest and anxiety within the Freedom Federation. For nearly a month, there had been no disturbances in the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift, leading the Freedom Federation to grow complacent. They even reached out to the Azure Federation, seeking their assistance and potentially colluding to prevent the Azure Federation from forming an alliance with the Radiance Federation. Liu Jie and the Moon Empress remained unaware of these developments, but Yin Lin, now the third-ranked Azure Envoy, received the news and promptly reported it to Lin Yuan. Upon receiving the news, Lin Yuan realized he couldn’t act until Extreme Ocean executed his plan. However, with the matters in Grace Sacred Hall settled, there was no longer a need to keep the entire group of Samsara Realm Dictators around. If there were sudden disturbances at the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift after a month, the members of the Freedom Federation’s royalty would be unlikely to lower their guard again. Rumors suggested that the Freedom Federation sought assistance from Tower Canon, and Lin Yuan was curious whether the experts from Tower Canon were still within their ranks. If they had stayed with the Freedom Federation for a month, it meant that the Freedom Federation had offered a significant price to keep them and demonstrate their sincerity. As long as the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift remained, Lin Yuan could continue to strike blows against the Freedom Federation. In the past, Lin Yuan might have been very worried about the Azure Federation’s views. But now, Lin Yuan felt that there was no longer any need for him to be overly concerned with the Azure Federation’s attitude. If Lin Yuan wanted, it would not be difficult for him to conquer the main world after the water world just like he had done with the Startling Lines Continent. The only thing that made Lin Yuan nervous in the main world was Tower Canon, the faction that had a legacy of thousands of years. While Lin Yuan was riding on Eternal Source and rushing through the endless sea, Fresh City in the Freedom Federation had already turned into a ghost town. Fresh City was one of the three major cities in the Freedom Federation. Besides the Freedom Federation’s members of royalty, the experts from Tower Canon, and four armies of feys, the only other living creatures were insects. The members of royalty had not ordered the citizens to leave Fresh City. However, the families living in Fresh City all had their own abilities. Within ten days of the Mirror God and God of Fools deciding to conceal the news, the elite families with connections in Fresh City gradually learned the varying degrees of the truth. The royal members were stationed at the entrance of the dimensional rift, ready to defend against any potential enemy invasion. It was guaranteed that the infrastructure within the dimensional rift had been destroyed. The factions within Fresh City considered themselves fortunate. With the opening of the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift, they had climbed the ranks within the Freedom Federation. Many mid-ranked factions had gained prominence over the past decade, taking advantage of the resources in the marsh world. Due to the constant presence of the royal members guarding the marsh world, the factions in Fresh City had never worried about its safety. They had invested their savings to maximize their gains from the resources. However, now that they couldn’t recover their resources, they were reluctant to lose their human capital as well. Leaving Fresh City seemed like the best plan to protect themselves and their assets. But it was clear that attempting to leave Fresh City would result in severe punishment. Therefore, the most viable strategy was to spread the news and ensure that everyone knew. Even the ordinary citizens of Fresh City became aware of the situation and decided to leave together. By acting collectively, none of them had to risk their safety individually. The Mirror God and the other members of royalty had invested all their energy into appeasing Tower Canon and guarding the Class 6 dimensional rift. Thus, the manually-created mass hysteria spread far and wide within Fresh City in a mere five days. The mass hysteria spread so quickly that there was no way for the Mirror God and God of Fools to put a halt to it. But in order to prevent those who fled from Fresh City from spreading the panic to the rest of Fresh City, three armies were sent out from Fresh City to surround the area in a 500-kilometer radius. No one knew what happened outside Fresh City in the 15 days that it took for all of the residents to vacate the city. But when the three armies returned, the quantity of blood-consuming vines growing below the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift had multiplied. The vines toward the exterior were even thicker than those toward the interior. After Seventh Page War saw this, she shot the Mirror God and God of Fools looks of disdain as she chuckled and sneered. “Fresh City would have been better off if all of the dimensional lifeforms from the marsh world had run out here.” When neither the God of Fools nor Mirror God responded, the Goddess of Mercy said, “You’re nothing more than a cruel flower. Why are you acting empathetic? Aren’t you the one who decimated the Dark Continent? Stop pretending! Fifth Page Truth had more honesty in his actions. He was even willing to offend the Heavenly Family Cottage in order to increase his power.” When the Goddess of Mercy mentioned Fifth Page Truth, Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment, Seventh Page War, Eight Page Apoptosis, and Sixth Page Parting Thorn’s expression did not change in the slightest. The members of Tower Canon did not care about each other at all. Besides Sixth Page Parting Thorn, the other three did not even know where Fifth Page Truth had gone with his Tower of Truth. If Sixth Page Inverse Growth had not appeared out of nowhere and was now replaced by Sixth Page Parting Thorn, the three of them would have no idea that Sixth Page Lashing and Sixth Page Inverse Growth had already died.
