Chapter 2675 Insects Take Over the Startling Lines Continent!
Liu Jie and Wen Yu had been with Lin Yuan for a long time. They were more resistant to the shock that came with witnessing such feats than the Moon Empress and Cicada Song were.
Keira's abilities were astounding.
Although Keira said that she was limited by her environment and could not unleash her full power, Liu Jie and Wen Yu were already certain that Keira would be able to fend off the dead spirits crisis.
Although the dead spirits crisis would continue progressing, the amazing demon insects would be able to minimize the impact on the main world to the greatest extent.
However, it went without saying that this also depended on whether Tower Canon had any new moves to play that would deter the demon insects.
Lin Yuan looked at Keira and said seriously, "I will give you the chance to wield your full abilities soon so we can gain a full understanding of the demon insects' abilities! Until then, do your best to push the five female demon insects to reproduce as quickly as possible."
Lin Yuan handed a Diamond fey storage box to Keira.
Lin Yuan knew what Keira wanted and why she was willing to work so hard for him, to the point that she had rushed from the alien insect world to the Radiance Federation within three days.
Keira had not yet replenished the energy she had used up to produce the demon insects.
Keira did not like leaving her nest before she fully recuperated.
She decided to rush to the Radiance Federation in spite of this because he had absolute control over her. He controlled her soul so she could not go against any of his requests.
Additionally, she hoped that he would give her resources that she could use to develop the demon insects.
Keira was an open book to Lin Yuan.
At first, Lin Yuan was displeased that she had only laid five eggs, but he did not show his displeasure. He felt that Keira was not treating his orders with enough seriousness.
But now, it seemed that he had underestimated the abilities of Keira's female demon insects.
Lin Yuan turned to say to the Moon Empress and Cicada Song, "Master and Lord Cicada Song, you have just witnessed the demon insects' abilities in countering the dead dimensional lifeforms.
"Up until now, Tower Canon has been the only one attacking. It's time for us to show Tower Canon that we aren't to be trifled with!"
In the battle with Tower Canon, Lin Yuan had been the one reacting to the moves made by Tower Canon.
But now, Lin Yuan wanted a change.
If he stayed in his current position, he would not be able to dig deeper into Tower Canon's secrets. Tower Canon would never exhibit all of their secret weapons if they were able to decide on the attacks.
Lin Yuan needed to be able to see through Tower Canon.
There would be two possible results to trying to see through Tower Canon.
Firstly, Tower Canon would put up a fight and push back with force. The two sides would end up utilizing their secret weapons and pit them against each other in a good fight.
The other possibility would be that after witnessing the humans' powers, Tower Canon would retreat back to the shadows to gather more power. This would give the humans more time to develop.
Regardless of which consequence it was, Lin Yuan could accept it.
But rather than the latter outcome that seemed to be more beneficial for him, the Radiance Federation, and humans, Lin Yuan preferred the former.
It was no longer Tower Canon that truly terrified him, but Epoch God Palace.
According to Eighth Page Apoptosis, Tower Canon had lost the battle against Eighth Page Apoptosis thousands of years ago. It had resulted in Tower Canon recuperating for the past few thousands of years while Epoch God Palace had been able to continue developing.
Lin Yuan hoped that after this catastrophe, he would be able to draw out Epoch God Palace and have the chance to make contact with them.
As things stood, he had no means of making contact with Epoch God Palace.
Lin Yuan let out a silent sigh. Just what was he going to do with Epoch God Palace?
His army was making waves in the main world, yet Epoch God Palace was showing no signs of trying to make contact with him. Were they really so strong that they could ignore all of this?
Lin Yuan pursed his lips, and an overwhelming wave of thoughts and emotions took over his mind.
The Moon Empress and Cicada Song hurriedly nodded, and she said seriously, "Little Yuan, if you are going to head to the boundary of the dimensional worlds and the main world where the battle with the dead spirits is the fiercest, take Eternal Source with you! Keeping him with me is limiting his movements anyway!"
Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled before he said, "Master, I have other experts who are just as strong as Eternal Source, so you don't have to worry about me! I already accounted for Eternal Source staying with you to protect you!
"It won't affect my plans at all, so you don't have to worry! Once I take Keira to unleash the full power of the demon insects, I will bring back with me numerous demon insects, and they will set up nests in the Dead Spirits Wells. Then, stability will return to the Radiance Federation!"
Lin Yuan instructed the Kill Food Sky Butterfly to immediately take him, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, the five female demon insects, and Keira to the Return from Faraway Mansion.
The Space Tunnel under the Return from Faraway Mansion was the nearest access point to the Startling Lines Continent.
The situation in the Radiance Federation was grave, and Lin Yuan needed to save all the time he could.
The Startling Lines Continent was the training ground that Lin Yuan had prepared.
Qin Yu and the millions of Land Imps had been working in the Startling Lines Continent.
Lin Yuan had not hesitated to pour in resources and turn the entire Startling Lines Continent into a metal bucket. There were only ten Dead Spirits Wells in the entire Startling Lines Continent, each of which was guarded by two Samsara Realm Dictators.
The citizens in Thick Soil City led very similar lives to the citizens in the Radiance Federation. Both had almost no injuries or damage because they had someone standing in front of them to shield them.
But it went without saying that during such a crisis, some minor injuries were inevitable.
Lin Yuan had heard Listen mention in the past about how capable Qin Yu was. But at that point, he had only heard about Qin Yu's capabilities from others.
However, now that he had given Qin Yu a task, Lin Yuan discovered that he was truly a talent when it came to execution capabilities!
Execution capabilities were very different from governance abilities.
Although governance abilities had slightly more value to a faction, execution abilities could not be absent if a faction wanted to develop well!
Lin Yuan had many people under him who were capable of execution, but based on his observations, Qin Yu could easily make it into the top three!
Recently, Lin Yuan often received news from Ta Lei and Qin Yu through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
Ta Lei also gave him periodic updates on the situation in Thick Soil City.
Lin Yuan had supplied sufficient powerful dimensional lifeforms to the Startling Lines Continent to ensure its safety so Ta Lei did not have much to worry about.
After Ta Lei's previous report, Lin Yuan suggested that Ta Lei look around the Startling Lines Continent to see if there were any areas that needed to be renovated.
This was both a test and an opportunity that Lin Yuan was giving Ta Lei. He wanted to see if Ta Lei had not only grown in age but also in perspective and acumen.
Alas, the suggestion that Ta Lei made two days later wholly disappointed Lin Yuan.
Ta Lei felt that it was a waste to use a large amount of metal-type spiritual ingredients.
After hearing this, regardless of whether Ta Lei had any insinuations towards Qin Yu, Lin Yuan felt that Ta Lei was very narrow-sighted.
The Land Imps were able to control minerals. They could not only blend minerals but also separate them. Thus, any minerals used in the Startling Lines Continent would not go to waste.
All Lin Yuan needed to do was order the Land Imps to gather all the resources, and he would be able to retrieve all of them in a very short span of time. The only thing that would be used up was the Land Imps' time.
If Ta Lei was not even able to see this, it would be very difficult for him to make any strategic advancements in the future!
The construction of the defenses in the Startling Lines Continent was basically complete. However, it would not be Sky City and the Radiance Federation's troops that would be training there but the demon insects that naturally consumed the dead spirits and dead dimensional lifeforms.
The Startling Lines Continents' seemingly impenetrable defenses would only hinder the female demon insects.
While riding on the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, Lin Yuan sent a message to Qin Yu.
[Lin Yuan]: Qin Yu, stop renovating the Startling Lines Continent. Relay my message to the other teams of Land Imps and tell them to stop what they're doing. Once I arrive, we will meet at the underground palace at the center of the Startling Lines Continent. Then, we will start dismantling all of the defenses that have already been constructed.
Lin Yuan's message to Qin Yu was very sudden, and it affected many of the plans that Qin Yu had already prepared. Nonetheless, he did not feel any begrudment and immediately replied.
[Qin Yu]: Young Master, when will you be arriving? I will try to make the arrangements at the underground palace as per your instructions before you arrive!
Once again, Qin Yu demonstrated his impressive execution abilities to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction when he received Qin Yu's response.
By now, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly had arrived in front of the Return from Faraway Mansion. Lin Yuan sent his response.
[Lin Yuan]: I will appear in the underground palace five minutes later. Go ahead and make the arrangements! After this trip to the Startling Lines Continent, there won't be much for you to do there because it will enter a state of stability. You can leave things there to Ta Lei. I will be taking you with me back to the Radiance Federation. Qing Lun has grown much taller recently. He asks about you each time I see him. I am sure he will be delighted to see you back in the Radiance Federation!
In consideration of the sadness of separation felt by the two brothers, Wen Yu had prepared Thoughts Letter Papers for Qin Lun and Qin Yu so the two of them could still converse whenever they wanted.
However, there was still a big difference between conversing through the Thoughts Letter Paper and being reunited in real life!
When Qin Yu, who was clutching the Thoughts Letter Paper, read Lin Yuan's message, a genuine smile spread across his cold and handsome facial features.
It was not just Qin Lun who missed Qin Yu. Qin Yu missed his brother badly as well.
Qin Yu knew that Lin Yuan had sent him to oversee the construction of the defenses in the Startling Lines Continent because he wanted to train him.
Although he did not know why Lin Yuan suddenly wanted to dismantle the defenses that had been so carefully and painstakingly constructed, he guessed that he had passed the training.
If he had not passed, he would have been sent to Thick Soil City to manage it alongside Ta Lei.
Qin Yu composed himself. The gratitude that he felt towards Lin Yuan intensified. The consideration that Lin Yuan had for him touched him to the point that he felt the faint urge to cry.
In the past month that he had spent managing the Land Imps, Qin Yu had gained absolute authority over them. Now, not even the Samsara Realm Land Imps dared to defy him.
Previously, there were a few Land Imps that did not take Qin Yu's instructions seriously, and Qin Yu immediately asked Lin Yuan to swap them out. Qin Yu's authoritative manner taught the Land Imps the consequences of getting on his bad side.
Furthermore, when the Land Imps found out that Lin Yuan was coming, they swiftly carried out Qin Yu's instructions and gathered at the underground palace.
Lin Yuan had already arrived at the underground palace.
The underground palace's construction had been completed long ago. Qin Yu did not damage the underground palace while he was renovating and setting up the Startling Lines Continent's defenses. Instead, he buried the metal-type stone boards under the underground palace. It could be said that the underground palace was even more fortified than Thick Soil City!
Lin Yuan summoned the Land Imps that he had previously sent to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He instructed them to use metal-type stone boards to envelop the entire underground palace before moving it up to the surface.
This way, he would be able to move the underground palace into the Spirit Lock spatial zone!
With the Spirit Lock spatial zone being as large as the Xia Region now, he would have no problems storing the underground palace there.
Hu Quan could not have done a better job of creating the underground palace. He had even hand-carved all of the etchings on the walls.
If the underground palace was moved into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, it could be used as a resting place for the lifeforms working in the Spirit Lock spatial zone once Hu Quan was made some alterations.
When the Land Imps used the metal-type stone boards to envelop the underground palace, the defenses were weakened, and the dead spirits immediately seized the opportunity.
Given that the metal-type stone boards had been laid down in even thicker layers in the Startling Lines Continent than the Radiance Federation, the pressure building up beneath the Startling Lines Continent was even greater than that of the Radiance Federation.
A hole opened up right in front of Lin Yuan.
But without him needing to give any orders, Keira looked at Doom.
There was no need to use all five female demon insects to deal with one eruption of dead spirits.
Keira was not pleased with Doom's recent performance.
When Doom noticed Keira looking at her, she immediately realized that this was her chance to remedy her mistake.
Doom lifted the third and fourth legs on her left flank and shot out four insect eggs. Two of the eggs were purple and black, while the other two were slightly larger and blue and purple.
Previously, one of the insect eggs produced enough insects to take over and handle the eruption of dead spirits. This time, the might of four insect eggs instantly buried the blast of dead spirits, and the situation was under control in an instant.
At first, Doom thought she had done well. She had no idea that Keira had already cursed her multiple times to herself, This idiot! It handled the dead spirits instantaneously! It didn't put on any show or demonstrate the effects of a clash!
