Chapter 2715: Death Source Heart! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This clean feeling was a shock to Lin Yuan’s spirit as he could feel it being refreshed. He was both very familiar with and missed this clean feeling. It was the same feeling that permeated the main world before the dead spirits crisis broke out. The change that was taking place in the environment while the demon insects were absorbing the death aura filled Lin Yuan with confidence. At the same time, it astonished the Eight Pages, who were shrouded in a dark gray space enveloped by death aura. All eight pairs of eyes widened. Tower Canon’s Eight Pages were very divided, and the splitting into four groups was becoming increasingly obvious. From the surface, First Page Crimson appeared to be the leader of the Eight Pages of Tower Canon. But in actuality, he had lost his authoritative might long ago. The team comprised of Second Page Warbler Candle and Fifth Page Falling Rainbow, the team comprised of Third Page Violet Light Green and Fourth Page Cavity Orchid, and the team comprised of Sixth Page Wave Glow, Seventh Page Concubine Winding, and Eighth Page Eye Shadow were all displeased with Crimson to varying degrees. This was because regardless of what decision he made, the benefits of at least one team would be harmed. Furthermore, he was innately selfish. In a large team, as long as the decision maker had sufficient support clustering around them, their characteristics would be minimized. But the decision maker’s characteristics would be magnified in a small team. But given that Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow’s team was unwilling to cooperate with the requests made by the other two teams, Crimson had no choice but to make compromises when he gave out orders. It was as though the other seven members of Tower Canon were getting to know Crimson for the first time. None of them expected him to be willing to let go of his own profits for the sake of the other members of Tower Canon. They were currently trying to split up the enormous pie that was this Class 2 world. This was also the first time that the Eight Pages of Tower Canon were splitting up such a colossal amount of resources. The other seven members of Tower Canon had no idea what trick Crimson was trying to pull. But since he was willing to let go of his profits to satisfy the overall team, the seven of them would also be willing to work with him. Only four days had passed since the members of Tower Canon, with the exception of Eye Shadow, had begun the ritual of fusing the dead world’s roots with this Class 2 world. Eye Shadow had been allowed to sit out, but she did not just sit back and watch. She remained on the sidelines and contributed what she could to the ritual. However, her contribution was negligible when compared to the other members. Wave Glow and Concubine Winding were slightly displeased by Eye Shadow’s actions. In their opinion, she was forsaking their bid for benefits. Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid did not express any opinions. However, clear derision appeared on Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow’s faces. All Eye Shadow ever did were these superficial displays of benevolence. But in actuality, she was never willing to be the one to take the loss. She came across as non-materialistic because she was able to benefit from whatever Wave Glow and Concubine Winding fought for. Eye Shadow had clung tightly to Concubine Winding and Wave Glow even when they were still living in the dead world. However, her contribution was negligible when compared to the other members. The way they treated her just did not make sense! Falling Rainbow felt that they treated Eye Shadow even better than Warbler Candle treated her. During the ritual, all of them were thinking about how to use the resources from this Class 2 world to strengthen themselves. Most of the Eight Pages preferred to use the Class 2 world’s resources to strengthen themselves rather than promote it into a Class 3 world. But while they were fusing the dead world’s roots with this Class 2 world, Tower Canon’s Eight Pages realized that the extremely high concentration of death aura in the ley lines was slowly flowing toward one direction. This indicated that a part of the ley lines was rapidly losing death aura. Otherwise, it was impossible for there to be such a large impact! Crimson instinctively looked at Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid questioningly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid immediately knew what Crimson was thinking. He suspected that this was the work of Epoch God Palace and that the two of them had brought back false information! Violet Light Green hissed. “Cavity Orchid and I went to Four Seasons Mountain and met with one of the rulers of Epoch God Palace. He said himself that Epoch God Palace isn’t interested in this Class 2 world! There’s no way our information could be fake!” Concubine Winding said in a low voice, “If that’s the case, is it possible that Epoch God Palace is tricking us?” Cavity Orchid was already harboring intense rage. But now that the information that he and Violet Light Green had risked their lives to obtain was being doubted again, he could no longer bear it. “You should all be well aware that Tower Canon has neither the ability nor right to take on Epoch God Palace. Violet Light Green and I wouldn’t have had to make the trip if we did! “If Epoch God Palace is truly interested in this Class 2 world, are all of you brave enough to continue coveting it? It’s more likely that Tower Canon will slink away again and let Epoch God Palace take over. Is it even necessary for Epoch God Palace to try and trick us? There has to be another reason. “We are already mostly done with the ritual to fuse the dead world’s roots with this Class 2 world. Six of us will be sufficient to handle the rest of the ritual. I suggest that the two of us head to the location that’s losing death aura to investigate the situation. We will know the reason after the investigation! “If my guess is right, the demon insects are the ones to blame! The demon insects have been locked in a stalemate with the dead spirits. They must be trying to use this in their counterattack.” The other members of Tower Canon found Cavity Orchid’s analysis to be reasonable. At that moment, they all felt the tugs of their selfish urges. Fusing the dead world’s roots with this Class 2 world required a lot of energy. Meanwhile, investigating the source of the death aura leak sounded like a leisure trip. Even if the demon insects attained power that was beyond this Class 2 world, they couldn’t defeat the members of Tower Canon. If the demon insects were truly the cause of the death aura leak, those who went on the investigative trip would be able to capture numerous female insects with Class 1 Genetic Locks. They might even be able to find the main mother! The main mother would belong to whoever found her. None of the members of Tower Canon could see a reason to pass up on such an opportunity! It was just as Cavity Orchid had said. There was no need for Epoch God Palace to play dirty tricks if they wanted to target Tower Canon. Eye Shadow never preferred direct confrontations and could not help but say, “I have the least energy out of everyone here. I can’t participate in the ritual. I think I’m the best candidate to be one of the two to go on the investigative trip!” Eye Shadow paused for a moment before she looked at Falling Rainbow and said, “Falling Rainbow’s Tower of Falling Rainbow hasn’t been found. Why doesn’t she come with me? We’ll also be able to search for the Tower of Falling Rainbow.” On the other hand, Falling Rainbow’s brows were relaxed, and she said, “The Secret of the Dead is in the Tower of Falling Rainbow. It must be found! Without my Secret of the Dead, the dead world’s roots will still be able to be fused with the Class 2 world, but we won’t be able to fully tap into the dead world’s roots and speed up the absorption of this Class 2 world’s roots. I also think it’s best if I go with Eye Shadow.” Eye Shadow’s lips curled slightly. By continuing what she had said, Falling Rainbow had added impact to it. Eye Shadow had her own considerations and plans for making such a suggestion! The only one partaking in Crimson’s pool of profits was himself. As the assumed leader of Tower Canon, Crimson could not fight for this opportunity. If Eye Shadow was the one from her team chosen for this trip, Wave Glow and Concubine Winding would not participate. Hence, her only options for a partner were Warbler Candle, Falling Rainbow, Violet Light Green, and Cavity Orchid. Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid would be receiving more profits. Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow were displeased that Crimson was willing to offer his share of the resources to fulfill Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid’s request. If Eye Shadow endorsed Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid, she would inevitably attract hostility from Warbler Candle and Falling Rainbow. Coincidentally, she could use Falling Rainbow’s loss of the Tower of Falling Rainbow as the perfect excuse to suggest that she go with her. Falling Rainbow was fully in charge of the alliance between her and Warbler Candle. She could secretly strike up a partnership with Falling Rainbow during their journey. Unless Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid wanted to give up their additional profits, they would have no choice but to agree to this agreement. Warbler Candle looked at the frowning Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid before saying provokingly, “We might be able to share this opportunity if you retract your request for additional profits.” Warbler Candle’s words caused Crimson’s eyes to flash. Warbler Candle never agreed to Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid’s requests. Crimson was offering his own share of resources. Thus, Warbler Candle did not have the right to say that. There was a high chance that Warbler Candle’s words would escalate the already existing conflict. Crimson hurriedly changed the topic and said, “I still have two of the Death Source Hearts. Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid, it’s true that the two of you took on a risk for the sake of Tower Canon. Once we are done with the ritual, you can each have one of my cherished Death Source Hearts.” The other members of Tower Canon could not object to Crimson using his own resources to appease Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid. However, Crimson’s actions caused the other members of Tower Canon to be even more curious and shocked. They did not understand what was bringing out such a large change in him. Once Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow left, Crimson sensed the environment before saying, “Now that there are only six of us left to conduct the ritual, it will take longer to complete. Hopefully, nothing happens during the process. If so, the ritual will be officially completed within five days!” The other five members of Tower Canon did not notice that the color of Crimson’s eyes intensified while he spoke, and his lips had curled menacingly. Ensconced in the sea of sand, Lin Yuan had his eyes closed as he meditated. He was basically done with all the matters he needed to accomplish. All he could do now was wait for the Eight Pages of Tower Canon to arrive. Lin Yuan was openly baiting the Eight Pages of Tower Canon because he felt that it would be best to speed up the demon insects’ cleaning of death aura from the ley lines since they could do so. Additionally, it would effectively cut down Tower Canon’s top combat power. Lastly, Lin Yuan wanted to keep one of the bodies of the Eight Pages of Tower Canon or capture one of them alive. He could then use the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom to interrogate them or Red Thorn’s Tongue of Relinquish to take control of their body. Both paths would allow him to obtain a significant amount of information about Tower Canon. Lin Yuan needed to understand Tower Canon’s goal and the dead world. At that moment, he received information from the Moon Empress through the Thoughts Letter Paper. [Moon Empress]: Little Yuan, you are not in the Radiance Federation presently. Does this mean that you are executing a plan? I don’t have any requests to make of you. All I hope is that you will look out for your safety and try to stay away from dangerous situations! When the Moon Empress received Lin Yuan’s call and confirmed that he was not in the Radiance Federation, she was immediately filled with a foreboding feeling. At that moment, she hated how helpless she was. If only she was powerful enough to take on Tower Canon, Lin Yuan would not have to shoulder all of the responsibility on his own! A wave of warmth washed over Lin Yuan when he saw the Moon Empress’ message. The past three years felt as long as half of his life. He had transformed from a weak regular person to a hero who could hold up the world. Lin Yuan had accumulated ample experience and made many good friends. Before he rose up and left the nest, the Moon Empress had been the one taking care of him. Now, it was time for him to take over the mantle from his master and protect the Moon Empress as well as the Radiance Federation! [Lin Yuan]: Master, you don’t have to worry about me. If things go well, I’ll be able to return to the Radiance Federation to see you soon. The Moon Empress relaxed when she saw Lin Yuan’s response. But soon, her chest tightened, and her heart started to hammer. If things went well, Lin Yuan would be able to return to the Radiance Federation soon. But what if things didn’t go well? What would happen then? The Moon Empress was intelligent and knew that things not going well in a battle against Tower Canon could only result in death. If Tower Canon captured Lin Yuan, his life would be worse than death. As worried as the Moon Empress was, her fist slowly relaxed. If Tower Canon killed Lin Yuan, it would not be long before the rest of the lifeforms in the main world followed. Rather than being worried, it would be more useful if she supported and prayed for Lin Yuan. As overwhelmed with emotions as the Moon Empress was, she did not stop issuing order after order in an orderly fashion..
