Chapter 2672 Demon Insects and Dead Spirits!
Keira read the message from Lin Yuan, and elation immediately spread across her face. This was exactly the response that she had been hoping for!
Lin Yuan was giving her an open path to resources. She could ask him for resources whenever she needed them.
With Lin Yuan providing her with pure spirit qi and pure vitality, there was no limit to the demon insects' development.
It was possible that this branch of demon insects would be the last breakthrough for the foreseeable future. She would be the one to rewrite the history of the demon insects!
There were many demon insect tribes in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, and every demon insect queen ruled over her own demon insect tribe.
The four demon insect empresses occupied the West Universe and made up one of the six major factions there.
Although the demon insects were linked by the same foundational genes, they subsequently absorbed very different genes, causing their abilities to differ greatly.
Before her incident, Keira was a normal demon insect queen. Unfortunately, she fell into a scheme.
The reincarnated Keira had no plans to seek revenge because she knew what her priorities should be.
But as her faction of demon insects developed and grew under her, when she went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds and fought for a position as a demon insect empress, she would also have the opportunity to take her revenge.
[Keira]: Master, I still need more spirit qi to develop the demon insects. The spirit qi will help with the fusing of the embryos with the death aura. The purer the spirit qi I absorb, the more complete the fusion will be, and the better the alien insects will be able to manipulate the spirit qi to target the environment. The alien insect species has already collected a large amount of genes from this world. I will select some of the genes from the genes storage to become part of the evolved demon insects' genetic model.
Keira's message to Lin Yuan had been slightly cunning. She only mentioned wanting spirit qi but did not explicitly mention pure spirit qi.
Pure spirit qi was nothing more than a commodity to Lin Yuan. He could produce as much of it as he wanted.
However, Keira was unaware of this and thought that pure spirit qi was the most precious resource.
Keira was afraid that Lin Yuan would think that she was greedy.
Nonetheless, she still included the fact that the purer the spirit qi, the more complete the fusion between the embryos and death aura would be.
Those of high ranks usually were not turned off by such a roundabout way of asking for resources.
Keira had been observing Lin Yuan. The longer she observed him, the more certain she became that he was not a lifeform from a Class 1 or 2 world. This was because the secret weapons that he possessed surpassed even that of Class 3 worlds.
She was really curious to know which faction Lin Yuan's legacy came from. Why were they taking such good care of a Class 1 world? It was because of the care that Lin Yuan was showing this Class 1 world that she managed to meet Lin Yuan!
If the other demon insect empresses found out that she had received such an opportunity after being reincarnated, they would all be dying of envy!
When Lin Yuan received Keira's message, he was silent for a moment before he said,
[Lin Yuan]: Let the alien insect empresses manage the alien insect world. As for you, come to the Radiance Federation right now! You can have as much pure spirit qi as you want. Once you're here, I'll help you to evolve in the best way!
Technically, the most efficient method to produce the demon insects was for Keira to produce them on the spot.
The quantity of spirit qi crystals that Keira possessed was enough to tide her over until Lin Yuan sent a Dictator to send more to her.
However, Lin Yuan did not do that and instructed Keira to come to the Radiance Federation because he was going to protect the Radiance Federation first. This would prevent the dead dimensional lifeforms from causing widespread damage and contamination even if they managed to make it to the Radiance Federation.
Of all the lifeforms in the main world, the Radiance Federation was the only one that was still in its original position.
Once the Radiance Federation was conquered by the dead spirits, it would become the largest Dead Spirits Well, and the dimensional worlds would be barraged by the dead spirits from every direction.
Hence, Lin Yuan was making the best decision in terms of both an emotional and strategic angle!
Since he had decided to bring Keira over, Lin Yuan would only be able to make further decisions once she was here. This was because he did not know whether the demon insects would truly be the solution to the dead dimensional lifeforms in the way that Keira had described.
Thus, Lin Yuan did not tell the Moon Empress about this plan.
The Radiance Federation still needed to try coming up with other plans! The more strategies they came up with, the better protected the Radiance Federation would be.
Lin Yuan heard that Chef Supreme had raised the idea of managing the Creation Masters. It would definitely be challenging to manage the Creation Masters. It was indeed time to put some pressure on the Creation Masters and stir up a sense of urgency in them!
The dead spirits crisis had only been going on for two weeks, but many changes had already taken place in the Radiance Federation.
The entire era would change in accordance with the sixth epoch.
The sixth epoch had begun with death and pain, but at least it was over.
Once it was confirmed that the demon insects produced by Keira could handle the death aura and dead dimensional lifeforms,
Lin Yuan would reallocate the Samsara Realm Dictators in the four terrestrial dimensional worlds. He would no longer assign them only to the respective dimensional worlds they came from. Lin Yuan intended to mix up the Samsara Realm Dictators from different dimensional worlds and ensure that each of them had an army under them.
Lin Yuan would set up eight departments in every dimensional world, with two branches being formed from dimensional lifeforms from one dimensional world.
This way, there would be no part of the combined territories that were more susceptible to the dead dimensional lifeforms!
Otherwise, as time went on, the marsh world, abyssal world, and subterranean world would fall while only the alien insect world would grow stronger.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was very glad that Wen Yu had organized the dimensional worlds' troops in a tree structure where every Samsara Realm Dictator had their own team.
Otherwise, there was no way that such a migration could be carried out successfully!
…
As the night grew deeper, the falling rain washed the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital.
This should be the best time to sleep, but the light in the Radiance Federation's meeting room was still on.
The 13 members of royalty were sitting in front of the table and staring stoically at the information that the Moon Empress and Night Leaning Moon had just handed out. The information contained the reports on the five dimensional worlds that had been delivered over by Liu Jie.
Even the Moon Empress, who was already aware of the terrors of the dead spirits crisis, had not anticipated the dimensional lifeforms to be having such a nightmarish time!
When the dimensional rifts first opened, these dimensional lifeforms had been the enemies of the humans. Every time they appeared, they consumed lifeforms from the main world.
But now, they had become the shields that were protecting the humans.
Alas, this shield that the humans were depending on was about to shatter.
The 13 members of royalty felt their throats go dry as they read through the information. They were at a loss about what to say.
They could not allow the issue to sit without addressing it.
The Moon Empress was the first to speak, "Since this situation is our reality, let's discuss ways to tackle it!"
The Moon Empress was just done speaking when Cicada Song added, "The Dead Decay Earthworms and Death-Cleansing Scale Snakes have already been distributed. The Dead Decay Earthworms and Death-Cleansing Scale Snakes can only hold the fort down for so long.
"After all, the Death-Cleansing Scale Snake isn't as easy to nurture as the Dead Decay Earthworm. The only thing we haven't used is the power of the members of royalty. If we are really left with no other choice, we can enter the battle ourselves and lend all the strength we have to the Radiance Federation!
"In the past, I made it a point to only come up with the best solutions. This has become a habit. But we have already done all we could in order to face the dead dimensional lifeforms. I haven't changed. I am still always ready to contribute everything I have to the Radiance Federation. I am sure that everyone here feels the same way.
"The dead dimensional lifeforms have yet to appear in the Radiance Federation, so we still don't have a clear idea of just how deadly they are.
"Moon Empress, your disciple has been the one solving all the issues ever since the dead spirits crisis began. Why don't you call him over to participate in this imperial meeting, too? This might be the only way to save the Radiance Federation!"
When Cicada Song spoke, he was rather self-mocking and vexed. But what he said was the truth.
If Lin Yuan had not sent this news, the Radiance Federation would still be overjoyed over the discovery of the Death-Cleansing Scale Snake and Dead Decay Earthworm, completely ignorant of the impending dangers!
However, Cicada Song's words caused the Moon Empress to frown.
He was not only the savior of the Radiance Federation but also of the humans and other millions of lifeforms in the main world.
Lin Yuan had been silently lending his strength to the main world, and this was enough pressure on its own.
But if he joined the imperial meetings too, it would only add more pressure onto his shoulders.
With the immense pressure that he was already under, the Moon Empress did not want to increase his burden.
But what Cicada Song said was right. If none of them had any solutions, they would have no choice but to rely on Lin Yuan.
At this moment, the Moon Empress received a message from Lin Yuan on the Thoughts Letter Paper.
[Lin Yuan]: Master, I might have a way to deal with the dead dimensional worlds. If this method is effective, the main world will become unaffected by the death aura! However, we should always be careful. I'm not sure if this method will work, but chances are high that it will. You don't have to be too worried.
[Lin Yuan]: Nonetheless, it will still be best to continue having the Radiance Federation's Creation Masters find ways to treat the death aura. This way, even if my method doesn't show positive results, the Radiance Federation still has the research to fall back on!
Lin Yuan knew that the Moon Empress had to be very anxious after finding out about this. He decided to tell her everything because he was afraid that she would be overwhelmed by her anxiousness.
In all honesty, Lin Yuan knew that the Radiance Federation's Creation Masters would not be able to solve the problem of the dead dimensional lifeforms given that they did not even understand them.
Lin Yuan had spent the past two years building up his arsenal and increasing his store of secret weapons. If the dead spirits crisis had taken place six months ago, the main world would have been completely devoured.
Lin Yuan did not fully understand Keira and the demon insect.
Keira was his servant, but they had not interacted much yet.
However, Lin Yuan did not think that Keira would lie to him about such matters.
She was not strong yet. But the alien insect empresses would deliver the demon insect embryos, and they would soon reach the Radiance Federation.
It was possible that the dead dimensional lifeforms would appear in the Radiance Federation before Keira arrived.
Even if they did not appear before then, Lin Yuan had already sent out the instructions. Any Samsara Realm Dictator whose team had captured a dead dimensional lifeform was ordered to send it to the Radiance Federation with an Apostle as an escort. The delivery had to be done under the strictest and most secure conditions to prevent the dead dimensional lifeform from releasing death aura in the Radiance Federation.
Some of the Moon Empress' panic subsided when she saw Lin Yuan's message.
Frankly, there was no way that the experts in the main world could counter the death aura.
The moonbeams released by the Moon Empress could cleanse the death aura to a certain extent, and the Mother of Bloodbath had some abilities and exclusive skills that could take control of dead spirits and cleanse them.
But in the grand scheme of things, individual powers did not make much of an impact. There was no way they would be able to cleanse every single dead spirit!
Although the Radiance Federation had slowly stabilized after the initial eruption of the Dead Spirits Wells, there were still new Dead Spirits Wells being built. The Land Imps were also continuously adding and fortifying the metal-type stone boards.
Previously, the Moon Empress believed that humans would definitely be able to succeed in anything they put their minds to. But in the face of a large-scale catastrophe, even spirit fire experts could not be of much help!
There were many Samsara Realm Dictators that were the equivalent of spirit fire experts in the dimensional worlds. Some Samsara Realm Dictators could even be stronger than spirit fire experts. Yet, none of them could even take on the dead spirits that were just above average in power on their own.
The right thing for the Radiance Federation to do was to continue researching ways to produce feys that could deal with the dead spirits in the long term.
The Moon Empress became more relaxed when she heard about the situation from Lin Yuan.
However, she did not tell the other 12 members of royalty about this.
Chef Supreme's suggestion to manage the Creation Masters had been pushed to the side because the Moon Empress did not want destabilizing changes happening within the Radiance Federation at the onset of the dead spirits crisis.
But now, she changed her mind.
Anything could happen during the battle with the dead spirits. Stability did not exist.
Thus, given that none of them were able to come up with an effective solution to deal with the dead dimensional lifeforms, all they could do was spark the Radiance Federation's spirits to the greatest extent so the Creation Masters could unleash their full potential to protect the Radiance Federation.
The only way that the Radiance Federation could fulfill their duty of being the leader of the Major Federation Union was by finding an effective solution to deal with the dead spirits and having the ability to continuously replenish resources.
The clash between the dead spirits and humans had only just begun. There was no guarantee that the humans would end up as the losers.
The Moon Empress did not want the seventh epoch to be a playground of death ruled by the dead spirits!
