Chapter 2718 - 2718 Illegitimate Sp.a.w.n of the Blood Species!
Given that this young man had the ability to kill Eighth Page Eye Shadow and take her prisoner, he had to be much more powerful than her!
Even First Page Crimson and Second Page Warbler Candle might not be this young man’s match.
Given the circ.u.mstances, Tower Canon’s secrets were not significant to this young man.
Falling Rainbow had no doubt that this young man would take her life without batting an eye.
Falling Rainbow pondered for a moment. She believed that only information about Epoch G.o.d Palace would be able to pique Lin Yuan’s interest. However, she knew very little about Epoch G.o.d Palace and did not know enough to spin out useful information.
Epoch G.o.d Palace’s target was not Tower Canon or this main world.
Falling Rainbow remembered that Third Page Violet Light Green and Fourth Page Cavity Orchid had mentioned that a member of Epoch G.o.d Palace had asked if anything was special about the main world.
There was no question that this young man was the most special presence.
Hence, Falling Rainbow said loudly, “You are probably Epoch G.o.d Palace’s target! With your power, you must have heard of Epoch G.o.d Palace’s presence! Eighth Page Apoptosis who went running to seek refuge from you must have told you about them.”
Warbler Candle had intentionally allowed Apoptosis to learn of Epoch G.o.d Palace’s presence. Warbler Candle had told Apoptosis about Epoch G.o.d Palace exactly because she hoped he would tell the news to the humans and bait them into investigating Epoch G.o.d Palace and find out their objective.
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened when he heard what Falling Rainbow said.
Since he was Epoch G.o.d Palace’s target, did that mean that they had found out about Morbius?
A chill washed over Lin Yuan’s heart.
In the past, he had always fought his enemies from the shadows while they were out in the open.
But now, he was the one who was out in the open while Epoch G.o.d Palace was hidden.
He did not even know anything about Epoch G.o.d Palace, yet they had already locked onto him as a target.
Lin Yuan resolved to learn all about Epoch G.o.d Palace from Falling Rainbow.
But before that, he needed to verify the truth of what Falling Rainbow was saying.
Lin Yuan instructed the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom to release its spores over Falling Rainbow.
Falling Rainbow noticed the appearance of the spores but dared not try to stop them from entering her body.
Lin Yuan checked the Truth Colony on Falling Rainbow’s body and confirmed that she was telling the truth.
Epoch G.o.d Palace was truly targeting him!
Lin Yuan did not know that Falling Rainbow had said that to catch his attention and save her life in the process.
Nonetheless, she had spoken the truth. He was Epoch G.o.d Palace’s target.
However, the concept of target that he had was different from what their true intentions were.
Spring and Summer, who were high up in the sky, felt themselves being hit by a wave of awkwardness.
It was good for Lin Yuan to find out about Epoch G.o.d Palace. However, Falling Rainbow’s words would cause Lin Yuan to feel hostility toward Epoch G.o.d Palace.
If Lord Saint felt hostile toward them and started to resent them, they would be left at a loss!
Falling Rainbow deserved to die!
If Lin Yuan had not taken Falling Rainbow as his prisoner and was not standing before Falling Rainbow, Spring and Summer would have killed Falling Rainbow immediately to stop her from prattling more nonsense to Lin Yuan!
Given Tower Canon’s level, they did not have the right to learn of Epoch G.o.d Palace’s true purpose!
“Very good. Your words have temporarily preserved your life. You will now share all the information you possess about Epoch G.o.d Palace.”
Falling Rainbow hurriedly asked, “If I tell you everything that I know about Epoch G.o.d Palace, will you spare my life?”
Lin Yuan glared frostily at Falling Rainbow and said, “You don’t have the right to negotiate with me. I will end your life now if you are unwilling to comply.”
When he was done speaking, the Red Lotus h.e.l.lfire lit up on Falling Rainbow’s body, and her agonized howls filled the air above the canyon.
There was no way that Lin Yuan was going to let Falling Rainbow keep her life.
Falling Rainbow was one of the perpetrators behind the dead spirits crisis that had caused the death of millions of lifeforms in the main world. A being like that did not deserve to be spared!
If Falling Rainbow was unwilling to speak, Lin Yuan would not mind showing her his capabilities.
While the fervent Red Lotus h.e.l.lfire was burning her, Falling Rainbow felt the same anguish that Eye Shadow had felt.
The crimson flames burned Falling Rainbow’s body and encroached into her soul.
Previously, Falling Rainbow was trying to set up insurance for herself. But now, she was trying to keep herself alive. If she revealed all that she knew, she would have a higher chance of surviving.
“I can’t say that I’m familiar with Epoch G.o.d Palace. All I know is that they have been searching for special ent.i.ties. Both you and your feys fit the profile of what Epoch G.o.d Palace is searching for. They have already begun taking action.”
Lin Yuan waved his hand and extinguished the flames on Falling Rainbow’s body. “Let me ask you. Just how powerful is Epoch G.o.d Palace?”
This was the question that Lin Yuan most badly wanted an answer to.
Alas, Falling Rainbow did not give him the answer that he was seeking.
“Epoch G.o.d Palace’s power can only be described as unfathomable. It’s a level that is even beyond my imagination. 6,000 years ago, one of the rulers of Epoch G.o.d Palace injured all Eight Pages of Tower Canon grievously with just one attack, leaving us with no choice but to hibernate for the past 6,000 years. Otherwise, we would already have died alongside the dead world!”
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.
It turned out that Epoch G.o.d Palace was that powerful! One of their members was already more powerful than Falling Rainbow could comprehend!
If that was the case, he would not be able to take on Epoch G.o.d Palace even if he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus.
It would be extremely easy for the rulers of Epoch G.o.d Palace to kill him if they wanted to.
Although he could take Falling Rainbow prisoner, the fact remained that they were actually on the same level.
This filled Lin Yuan with great perturbance.
But it did not take long for him to compose himself.
The most important matter at hand was to deal with Tower Canon.
Thus, Lin Yuan asked Falling Rainbow in a low voice, “Do the other members of Tower Canon know that one of the Eight Pages has died?”
Falling Rainbow had already decided to answer all of Lin Yuan’s questions honestly.
She did not know what had just entered her body.
But after she gave her reply, white fungal strains grew out of whatever entered her body.
Lin Yuan had not done anything to verify what she said after he saw the white fungal strains. It was likely that they had the ability to ascertain the truth!
Her response would lead to her betraying Tower Canon. Nonetheless, she had already grown disillusioned with Tower Canon and had no qualms about turning against them. Even if the remaining Eight Pages were aware of her difficult situation, they wouldn’t offer a.s.sistance.
“It’s unlikely that First Page Crimson and the rest are aware that Eye Shadow is already dead. However, they do know that the death aura leak hasn’t been addressed.”
Falling Rainbow had been trying to find a way to save her life ever since she answered Lin Yuan’s question.
She was well aware of how much this human hated her.
Tower Canon was trying to destroy all the lifeforms in this Cla.s.s 2 world, making them sworn enemies of all these lifeforms.
If she wanted to ameliorate the hatred in this young man’s eyes, she would have to earn it by contributing value. The best way to do so would be to help this young man eliminate the other members of Tower Canon.
“If you are willing to let me keep my life, I can help you to sow discord within Tower Canon. The Eight Pages are always locked in an intense fight over resources. I will follow your orders, and this will save you a lot of trouble in your endeavor to take down Tower Canon! What do you think of this?”
This was the most attractive bait that Falling Rainbow could think of offering Lin Yuan.
Falling Rainbow did not know what to do in case he did not accept her proposal.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, “How will you sow discord among the members of Tower Canon? Is Tower Canon so ununited? You must be aware that my goal is to kill all the members of Tower Canon.
“If you help me to reach my goal, you will have proven your value, and I will give you the chance to continue living! I will also take you with me when I eventually go to the Sky Beyond the Clouds!”
Falling Rainbow was overjoyed when she heard that. She finally found a way to keep herself alive!
However, it would not be easy to help Lin Yuan eliminate the other six members of Tower Canon.
She had left for this trip with Eye Shadow. When she returned without Eye Shadow, she could not provide the others with an acceptable explanation!
Once Crimson and the others were done with the ritual to fuse the dead world’s roots with this main world, she would have to answer for Eye Shadow’s absence after three days pa.s.sed.
Hence, she would have to act before Crimson and the others became suspicious of her in order for her to cooperate with Lin Yuan!
After Falling Rainbow told Lin Yuan about the situation, she said sincerely, “For now, I can’t come up with a plan. But I must return as soon as possible. I will come up with a plan on the way back. You should have the means to place shackles within me. The other members of Tower Canon will not tolerate traitors. The only way I can save myself is to help you!”
Lin Yuan said doubtfully, “It goes without saying that I will take control of you before I let you go. You don’t have to concern yourself with this. If you can’t cooperate with my plan, I will also use my methods to take your life. So don’t think of trying any tricks!”
One of the Abyss Red Lotus’ roots wrapped around Falling Rainbow, and the tip of the root pierced Falling Rainbow’s soul, leaving a black imprint.
Once Falling Rainbow broke free from Lin Yuan’s control, the imprint would instantly begin burning with the Abyss Red Lotus and destroy Falling Rainbow’s soul!
When he was doing this, Lin Yuan waved at Falling Rainbow, indicating that she could leave at any time.
Falling Rainbow did not feel happy in the least as she was about to depart from Lin Yuan’s side. Rather, her heart could not be heavier. Her brain was filled with thoughts about how she could fulfill his orders.
Falling Rainbow always abided by the principle that it was better to cling to a difficult life than to choose death.
If she could go with Lin Yuan to the Sky Beyond the Clouds in the future, she would be able to lead a better life in that wider world than she could being stuck in this Cla.s.s 2 world!
Before Falling Rainbow left, she told Lin Yuan in a low voice, “I hope that you will instruct the demon insects to stop absorbing the death aura from the ley lines. Otherwise, I won’t be able to answer for my failure when I return. Naturally, I won’t be able to cooperate with your plan either!”
Lin Yuan immediately sent an order to Keira.
Keira relayed the orders to the female insects with Cla.s.s 1 Genetic Locks, who transmitted it to the rest of the insect army.
The death aura only took a moment to burgeon in the cleaned-up ley line.
“You said that the death of a member of Tower Canon will draw suspicion to you. So I will give you five days. If you can’t be of any help to me after the five days have pa.s.sed, the black imprint in your soul will begin to burn.”
Lin Yuan took out a Thoughts Letter Paper and tossed it to the Falling Rainbow.
“If you have any information that you want to share with me, you can write it on this paper. I will also communicate my orders through this paper. Your survival depends on whether you can be of value to me!”
Once Lin Yuan was done speaking, he did not continue interacting with Falling Rainbow and left the canyon.
The instant Lin Yuan left the canyon, the insect army under the canyon began to move. They s.h.i.+fted according to Lin Yuan’s movements.
Lin Yuan’s open operation was very successful.
Not only had he killed one of the Eight Pages of Tower Canon, but he had also taken control of another.
This was much more useful than killing Falling Rainbow directly!
It was unlikely that Tower Canon could have ever antic.i.p.ated such a result!
From the att.i.tudes that Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow had displayed when they arrived at the canyon, Tower Canon could not be less concerned about the human factions. Otherwise, they would have sent more than just two members to investigate the death aura leak.
Lin Yuan had agreed to Falling Rainbow’s suggestion because he wanted the members of Tower Canon to continue maintaining such a mindset.
Even if Falling Rainbow failed to come up with a plan, having a mole in Tower Canon would make it easier for Lin Yuan to learn about their movements!
As Spring watched Lin Yuan departing, she said solemnly, “Summer, Lord Saint has probably misunderstood Epoch G.o.d Palace. He really thinks of us as enemies now! I think that we need to do something to change his perception of us!”
Summer said with a sigh, “Spring, that’s a good idea. But how should we go about it? Forget it. For now, let’s just focus on protecting Lord Saint and helping him defeat Tower Canon!
“After he defeats Tower Canon, he will probably try to make contact with Epoch G.o.d Palace. If he initiates contact with Epoch G.o.d Palace, we will be able to reveal ourselves to him. Then, we will be able to explain ourselves to him. Given his personality, he will understand and forgive us!”
Spring said with a clenched jaw, “First Page Crimson better not disappoint his illegitimate bloodline of the Blood species.”
