Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2716
2716 Stacking the Lotus Imprints!
The Moon Empress was Lin Yuan’s Master and a member of the Radiance Federation’s royalty. She needed to take responsibility for every citizen in the Radiance Federation.
If Lin Yuan died at the hands of Tower Canon, the Moon Empress would use her actual body to fend off the dead spirits wave when it closed in on the Radiance Federation.
When the Moon Empress was done communicating with Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper, Purple Love and Ice Flow contacted him through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
Purple Love and Ice Flow had heard from the Moon Empress that Lin Yuan would be battling Tower Canon.
[Purple Love]: Lin Yuan, where are you? I will lead all the Heavenly Family Feys from the Heavenly Family Cottage to support you!
[Ice Flow]: Lin Yuan, all of the experts from the Vast Sea Labyrinth have gathered. You should be the one to command the battle between the main world’s lifeforms and the dead spirits! Please give us your orders!
Lin Yuan’s lips curled when he saw the messages from Purple Love and Ice Flow that represented the wills of the Heavenly Family Cottage and Vast Sea Labyrinth. He was very pleased with their attitudes.
Their attitudes were a sign that the Heavenly Family Cottage and Vast Sea Labyrinth were ready to sacrifice themselves.
However, he would not need anyone else in this battle. This would be a battle between Lin Yuan and Keira and Tower Canon.
Even experts like Purple Love and Ice Flow would inevitably lose their lives if they participated in this battle.
Lin Yuan responded to Purple Love.
[Lin Yuan]: Auntie Purple, all you need to do is lead the Heavenly Family Feys in helping Master protect the Radiance Federation! I will handle it myself. Even if you come, you won’t be able to help and will end up needlessly sacrificing yourselves!
Purple Love was silent for a long time after she received Lin Yuan’s message. She later looked into the distance and clasped her hands together as she started to pray.
Blood New Moon and White Phoenix looked at Purple Love curiously. They did not understand why she was acting in such a manner. Wasn’t she communicating with Lin Yuan about how they would be fighting back against Tower Canon?
Blue Lotus was the most sensitive and thoughtful of the group. If Lin Yuan had given the Heavenly Family Cottage an order, Purple Love would have informed them of it.
When Blue Lotus saw how formidable Lin Yuan was when he fused the main world with the five dimensional worlds, she knew that there was an uncrossable chasm between him and everyone else.
She had given Lin Yuan her blessing. If something happened to him, she would be alerted immediately through it.
As such, Blue Lotus also placed her hands together and began to pray for Lin Yuan.
A moment later, Blue Lotus heard Purple Love say while choking back tears, “We will remain in the Radiance Federation alongside the Moon Empress to await the return of the hero!”
Purple Love did not know if Lin Yuan would be able to protect the main world from Tower Canon. Nonetheless, waiting for him to return was her way of sending her best wishes.
After praying for Lin Yuan, she led the other Heavenly Family Feys and headed to the Leaning Moon Mountain.
…
When Ice Flow saw Lin Yuan’s message, a flurry of emotions exploded within him.
[Lin Yuan]: All you need to do is look after the sea clans. Leave everything else to the demon insects battling the dead spirits at the bottom of the sea. I will do my best to make everything better.
The sea clans always viewed themselves as above the humans. The Vast Sea Labyrinth never cared about the human factions in the past.
But now, the human factions had saved the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Ice Flow did not know how to express his gratitude.
He could only imagine the weight of the burden that Lin Yuan had to carry in order to make everything better. He was taking it upon himself to try to restore peace to the main world.
Lin Yuan had not given the Vast Sea Labyrinth any orders, but Ice Flow could not sit by and do nothing. Since Lin Yuan had sent the demon insects to protect the sea clans, they would protect the humans!
After discussing the matter with his two brothers, Ice Flow led the experts from the Vast Sea Labyrinth to the sea neighboring the Radiance Federation.
Since Lin Yuan was protecting the sea clans, they would safeguard Lin Yuan’s homeland.
…
After Eighth Page Eye Shadow and Fifth Page Falling Rainbow left Tower Canon’s fortress, they did not immediately head to the location that was losing death aura.
Eye Shadow looked at Falling Rainbow, who was releasing her spiritual energy and trying to pick up a sense of the Tower of Falling Rainbow, and said, “Falling Rainbow, you need to know your priorities. I don’t think you should head to the Startling Lines Continent now to search for the Tower of Falling Rainbow.
“Your book is a treasure from a Class 3 world’s dimensional world. Aside from Epoch God Palace, no other entity in this world can steal such a treasure. Even if an entity from this world stumbles on the book, the book will suck out its soul.”
Falling Rainbow raised her pretty seven-colored eyes and looked at Eye Shadow with irritation. “Eye Shadow, there isn’t anyone else here but us. You don’t have to put on an act in front of me. You definitely aren’t as simple as you seem. If your treasure was lost, you would probably be more frantic than I am now!”
Eye Shadow’s gaze changed, and she smirked mockingly. “Falling Rainbow, how simple or otherwise my thoughts are doesn’t have anything to do with you. You couldn’t even look after your treasure properly and left it in your tower.
“I won’t stop you if you insist on going to the Startling Lines Continent. I can go and clear out the demon insects on my own! I might not be full power, but I won’t have any trouble eliminating the demon insects.
“Crimson, Violet Light Green, and the rest can also sense the death aura being sucked out from the ley lines. I can’t see them being as lenient with you as Warbler Candle is. You will have to use your own abilities to make up for the death aura roots that end up being lost because of a hold-up that you caused!
“I have said all that I need to say. You can decide for yourself whether to listen to me or not.”
Once she was done speaking, Eye Shadow could not be bothered to continue wasting time with Falling Rainbow.
She had already been delayed a day because of Falling Rainbow. She was the one who had suggested investigating the death aura leak and the one who had endorsed Falling Rainbow.
If anything went wrong, she would have to take full responsibility. This implied that she would lose profits.
Eye Shadow did not want to give up any potential profits.
Falling Rainbow was not afraid that the other members of Tower Canon would have objections against her.
Because of that incident, all the other members of Tower Canon, aside from Second Page Warbler Candle, were already displeased with her.
Frankly, Falling Rainbow felt extremely wronged with regard to that incident.
She had made the decision with the silent support of the rest.
However, she had to take on all of the blame because she had been the one to raise the suggestion.
The other members of Tower Canon had been blaming her for that incident ever since, and she had become wholly disappointed in Tower Canon.
The real reason Falling Rainbow changed her mind from heading to the Startling Lines Continent to look for the Tower of Falling Rainbow was that she did not want Eye Shadow to have more opportunities to capture the demon insects. Otherwise, she could not answer to Warbler Candle when she returned.
Falling Rainbow was well aware of how Warbler Candle treated her, so she always treated Warbler Candle decently as well.
Falling Rainbow did not take long to catch up with Eye Shadow.
Falling Rainbow looked at Eye Shadow beside her and said sarcastically, “Eye Shadow, whoever is stronger should call the shots. We will use our capabilities to fight for the female demon insects with Class 1 and 2 Genetic Locks. There’s no need to collect the other demon insects. Let’s handle the rest as we see fit!”
When she saw Eye Shadow frown, a thought struck Falling Rainbow, and she changed her tone, “Actually, why don’t we work together? Once we are done handling the death aura leak in the ley lines, let’s go to the Startling Lines Continent together. The humans have not only been building up the Radiance Federation but the neighboring Startling Lines Continent as well.
“The eight of us have only divided up the resources from the Radiance Federation. Why don’t we empty out the Startling Lines Continent? Crimson, Violet Light Green, and Cavity Orchid won’t be able to protest! What do you think?”
If Falling Rainbow had come out on her own, she would have never dared to do such a thing.
Six of the members of Tower Canon were displeased with her, and her only ally was Warbler Candle. Even if she emptied out the Startling Lines Continent, she could not hold on to the resources.
But if she teamed up with Eye Shadow, she would be part of a pool of profits involving five Tower Canon members.
Even if First Page Crimson, Violet Light Green, and Cavity Orchid were unhappy, they could not act on it.
Eye Shadow was intrinsically greedy. Falling Rainbow was certain that Eye Shadow would not turn her down.
Falling Rainbow silently watched Eye Shadow’s expression change. Eventually, Eye Shadow said firmly, “Since that’s the case, why don’t we split both the work of handling the death aura leak and the resources from the Startling Lines Continent equally? If you agree to this, I will work with you!”
Falling Rainbow’s eyes glinted when she heard that. She was silent for a moment before saying, “This should be the first time we’ll be working together in almost 10,000 years. I hope we will work well together!”
Given that she was stronger than Eye Shadow, Falling Rainbow did not want to agree to Eye Shadow’s request. But if she turned her down, it was highly probable that Eye Shadow would oppose her.
Eye Shadow had Sixth Page Wave Glow and Seventh Page Concubine Winding on her side, while she only had Warbler Candle.
If she occupied more of Eye Shadow’s resources, Eye Shadow could sell her out when they returned and end up receiving 3/8 of the resources from the Startling Lines Continent.
…
It did not take long for Eye Shadow and Falling Rainbow to arrive at the canyon.
The two of them had eliminated many insect armies during their journey.
The moment the two of them glimpsed the canyon, they halted their steps and did not enter.
They could sense billions of demon insects underground, absorbing the ley line’s death aura. This was the source of the ley line leak.
However, the two of them felt disturbed.
Experts always trusted their sixth sense. Their sixth sense was the instinctual culmination of their soul and spirit. Stronger lifeforms had more accurate sixth senses.
The two of them had not felt so uneasy in a very long time.
At the instant that Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow appeared above the canyon, Lin Yuan used his faith power to sense their presence.
Aside from strengthening his divine kingdom, Lin Yuan did not have many other uses for his faith power.
However, Lin Yuan realized not long ago that if he was in the vicinity of a large number of lifeforms that contributed faith power to him, he could use his faith power to detect his surroundings.
The demon insects that Keira produced were all Lin Yuan’s believers.
Lin Yuan could even use his faith power to sense the emotions of these two members of Tower Canon.
It was clear that the two of them had noticed something was off about the environment under them and had hence yet to take action.
One of them was even already thinking about retreating.
After sensing this intention to retreat, Lin Yuan used the Abyss Red Lotus’ ability, Hellfire Application.
In an instant, the energy of the five dimensional worlds and the main world that the Abyss Red Lotus controlled was pumped into Lin Yuan’s body.
Four black roots emerged from the ground and shot toward Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow.
Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow could sense that something was wrong but neither of them had expected to be ambushed!
After Lin Yuan ascertained that there were only two of them, he made his plans.
He would kill one while leaving the other alive. He would kill the weaker one while taking the stronger one prisoner. This would allow Red Thorn and, by extension, him, to take control of another expert.
Furthermore, the stronger member of Tower Canon would probably know more information about Tower Canon.
Lin Yuan used Splendor of Fire at the same time that he used Hellfire Application.
In an instant, fire-elemental energy erupted and enveloped the entire canyon.
Spirit qi and death aura were all pushed out of this space by the fire-elemental energy.
As long as the Abyss Red Lotus was stronger than its target, it would be able to rob and conquer its targets’ control over fire-elemental energy.
Lin Yuan could sense that the Abyss Red Lotus could take complete control of the fire-elemental energy in the environment. This indicated that he was stronger than both of these members of Tower Canon!
Eye Shadow and Falling Rainbow both put up defenses against Lin Yuan’s lethal attacks.
From their auras, Lin Yuan could sense that these two members of Tower Canon were on the same level as him.
This made him both relieved and concerned.
He was glad that he had discovered the Abyss Red Lotus in the abyssal world and used it to help him gain power from the five dimensional worlds’ energies.
Otherwise, with just Eternal Source, who was an Afterlife Realm Dictator, he would not be able to truly take on the Eight Pages of Tower Canon.
It was no wonder that Crimson had not been bothered when he discovered Ancient Ocean and Ink Ocean’s presence. Dictators with such power were of no threat to him.
Due to Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow’s defenses, the Abyss Red Lotus’ four roots did not manage to wrap around them.
However, Lin Yuan had also used Hellfire Lotus Imprint on the two of them.
Hellfire Lotus Imprint would restrict their ability to draw on energy from the environment and seal off their bodies’ existing energy.
The effects of one layer of Hellfire Lotus Imprint were not significant.
But as the Abyss Red Lotus’ roots continued to wrangle with the Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow, the layers of Hellfire Lotus Imprints also stacked up layer by layer.
