2721 How High are the Chances of Victory? Fifth Page Falling Rainbow’s head was filled with thoughts about how she could save herself.
This feeling left Falling Rainbow feeling helpless. Falling Rainbow was certain that she would not be able to envelop the imprint and temper it with her soul energy.
As a powerful lifeform that had lived for many years, Falling Rainbow was rarely at the mercy of others. She had only been restrained and needed to keep her head down when her power had been weak.
Falling Rainbow loathed Lin Yuan with her entire being and wanted nothing more than to destroy him.
But for the sake of her survival, Falling Rainbow had no choice but to be aware of her circumstances and meet Lin Yuan’s requests.
If she had two other members assuredly on her side like Eighth Page Eye Shadow did, it would be very easy to carry out this plan. But she was not like Eye Shadow. She received the worst treatment of all the members.
Moreover, Second Page Warbler Candle, who was on her side, often butted heads with First Page Crimson, Third Page Violet Light Green, and Fourth Page Cavity Orchid.
After some thinking, Falling Rainbow decided that the best way to achieve her goal would be to use the dead Eye Shadow.
Eye Shadow had always kept her Secret of the Dead on her person. Eye Shadow’s Secret of the Dead had the ability to mask her aura.
Under the cover and protection of her Secret of the Dead, it was almost impossible for the other members of Tower Canon to detect her aura.
Falling Rainbow had always been wary of Eye Shadow because of her Secret of the Dead’s ability.
If she said that Eye Shadow was in the Startling Lines Continent and there were female demon insects there, it was likely that the other members of Tower Canon would ask to meet up with her.
Sixth Page Wave Glow and Seventh Page Concubine Winding would do so out of concern for Eye Shadow. They were on very good terms with her and would definitely be able to tell that this behavior did not fit with her personality.
However, neither of them would suspect Falling Rainbow or even consider the possibility that Eye Shadow was already dead.
Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid, who currently possessed the largest pieces of the pie, would also agree to this arrangement. They would assume that Eye Shadow had yet to return because she had discovered astonishing benefits and was trying to keep them all to herself.
As for Warbler Candle, she would go along with this plan even if she had her suspicions. Falling Rainbow was confident of this.
Crimson’s opinion did not matter. His profits were his own. If the rest of the group had made the same choice, he would have no choice but to go along with them.
With this train of thought in place, Falling Rainbow’s tightly wound nerves relaxed slightly.
This feeling of being at the mercy of another was truly horrible! Back then, the dead world that Falling Rainbow belonged to had been the weaker party.
After freeing themselves from the Class 3 world, they brought their dead world’s roots with them and earned their freedom.
Although they no longer had the status to roam the Sky Beyond the Clouds freely, their lives were still relatively comfortable. At least they led much better lives than they were doing now!
When she sensed that the dead world’s root energy fluctuations beneath her were stabilizing,
Falling Rainbow knew that the ritual to fuse the dead world’s roots with the main world was basically complete.
She had come back at the right time! Falling Rainbow took a deep breath and composed herself to prevent the other members of Tower Canon from noticing that anything was amiss.
Once she entered the large hall, she saw that all the other black coffins aside from hers and Eye Shadow’s were all wide open.
Crimson and the other members of Tower Canon were currently recuperating in the black coffins.
Falling Rainbow instinctively looked at Eye Shadow’s black coffin. No one would sleep in there ever again!
Wave Glow and Concubine Winding opened their eyes simultaneously and looked at Falling Rainbow.
When they saw that she was alone, Wave Glow frowned and asked in a low voice, “Falling Rainbow, Eye Shadow left with you. Why have you returned alone? Where is Eye Shadow? The ritual is already over. I have made the suggestion to the other members to help to receive Eye Shadow’s roots together.”
Falling Rainbow looked at Wave Glow, and envy and mockery flashed across her eyes. She was very envious of how well Wave Glow and Concubine Winding looked after Eye Shadow. But at the same time, she felt derision toward Wave Glow’s lapdog-like behavior.
“Eye Shadow picked up the trail of female demon insects and headed to the Startling Lines Continent. She really is the kind to forget everything else when she has her eye on profits!
“The Startling Lines Continent is very near to the Radiance Federation. There is a high chance that Eye Shadow’s actions will alert the enemy and catch the attention of the main world’s natives. Eye Shadow and the two of you will have to answer for such a consequence!
“If my Tower of Falling Rainbow wasn’t lost and Eye Shadow hadn’t used her treasure’s power to hide her aura, I would have definitely dragged her back here!”
There was a furious and menacing expression on Falling Rainbow’s face, but her heart was only filled with bitterness.
Falling Rainbow had already guessed why she was unable to sense the Tower of Falling Rainbow and Secret of the Dead, Volume Five, Sinking Song. Lin Yuan must have already gained possession of them.
After all, Lin Yuan had easily claimed Eye Shadow’s Secret of the Dead.
Falling Rainbow’s words caused the other Eight Pages of Tower Canon to frown. However, they were all frowning for different reasons.
Wave Glow and Concubine Winding were suspicious of this story. The Eye Shadow that they knew would never act so unreasonably. If she had truly discovered the presence of female demon insects, she could have informed them of this instead of taking the risk of injuring her roots to head there herself.
This was unless Eye Shadow noticed something that was worth taking this risk and Falling Rainbow had yet to notice it.
If that were the case, the two of them would need to meet up with Eye Shadow as soon as possible.
It went without saying that Eye Shadow would swallow a large amount of resources after heading to the Startling Lines Continent. This would cut into Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid’s profits.
Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid knew that Eye Shadow was very scheming and was not as innocuous as she appeared.
It was very possible that she would lose control of herself when profits were at stake!
Hence, Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid felt pressed to protect their own profits.
The Eight Pages of Tower Canon had not brought many resources with them when they landed in this world.
It was very challenging for this Class 1 world to promote to Class 2. Hence, the resources that did exist in this world were of the utmost importance to the Eight Pages of Tower Canon. The more resources they gained, the more things they could do with them and the faster they would be able to increase their power.
“We have completed the ritual. Although we have all depleted a significant amount of our roots and energy, we will be able to recover in just a few days.
“I suggest that we head to the Startling Lines Continent now. We will be able to meet up with Eye Shadow, capture the female demon insects, and destroy the Radiance Federation before divvying up the Radiance Federation’s resources. We will then begin taking over the rest of the resources in this world. After taking over the resources, we can rest and sleep for some time.
“I am sure all of you have sensed that the world wall where Epoch God Palace is located is active. There is a high chance that Epoch God Palace is trying to break through the wall to create a path from this world to the Sky Beyond the Clouds! They will probably leave this world then. This will also give us a way to return to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.”
Violet Light Green’s Secret of the Dead had an ability related to boundaries. The world wall could be seen as a boundary formed from willpowers.
Violet Light Green had been in a very good mood these past two days because she had noticed this.
At first, she had not intended to tell the other Eight Pages about this discovery. But, given the circumstances, revealing this news would increase her importance to the group.
If Eye Shadow truly collected a large amount of resources, they would also be able to force her to spit them all out.
Out of the entire group, Warbler Candle was feeling the most troubled.
When she saw that Falling Rainbow had returned on her own, she knew that something had gone wrong with this operation. Otherwise, Eye Shadow would not have been able to slip away completely undetected by Falling Rainbow, even with her Secret of the Dead’s ability.
After waking up, Warbler Candle had intentionally tampered with the supply of energy to the black coffins. She had siphoned some of the energy from the other black coffins to Falling Rainbow. This was part of the reason why Eye Shadow had almost been unable to wake up.
The rest of the group thought that Falling Rainbow was in a weakened state, but Warbler Candle knew that this was false.
If they had truly discovered the female demon insects, Falling Rainbow should have been the one to get her hands on them first!
Even after thinking for a long while, Warbler Candle was unable to understand this.
Could it be that Falling Rainbow had killed Eye Shadow for the sake of profits?
Warbler Candle quickly shook her head. The probability of this was extremely small because Falling Rainbow needed to consider the consequences.
If Falling Rainbow really killed Eye Shadow, it would disrupt the superficial unity that Tower Canon had struggled to form.
Wave Glow and Concubine Winding would definitely confront and battle it out with Falling Rainbow.
Falling Rainbow hated inconvenience and risk. After the clash against Epoch God Palace, Falling Rainbow had become even more averse toward risk.
After frowning for a moment, Crimson’s eyes turned red. It was as though an aura was about to awaken within his body.
This aura was strangely beautiful, and it immediately caused his gaze to turn peculiar. Lethal aura was emanating from his gaze.
At that moment, Crimson heard Violet Light Green say, “Epoch God Palace seems to be staying in this Class 2 world because they are searching for an unusual lifeform. One of their rulers asked me and Cavity Orchid about it.
“I think that we should search for such entities while we’re splitting up the resources in this world. If we are able to present it to Epoch God Palace, we will have done them a favor! Even if this doesn’t turn our relationship into an amicable one, it will reduce some of the misunderstandings between us.”
Violet Light Green’s words were like a valve that had been turned and caused the strangely beautiful red hue to disappear from Crimson’s eyes.
The two fists hidden under Crimson’s robe were tightly clenched.
The other members of Tower Canon next to Crimson noticed the change in his aura. After they observed him for a few moments, Crimson finally said, “Since you are all in agreement, let’s head to the Startling Lines Continent! We’ll also search for any unusual lifeforms in this world!”
When it came to unusual beings, Crimson was an unusual being himself. Since finding out about Epoch God Palace’s objective, he had been afraid that he was their target. As a result, he had tried his best to hide his exceptional traits to prevent himself from catching Epoch God Palace’s attention.
After all, based on what Violet Light Green had said, it was likely that Epoch God Palace would be leaving this Class 2 world. If there was anything he wanted to do, he could wait until they left!
It would be better for him to lay low now and play things safely! However, this meant he would have to suffer and endure the company of these morons for some time.
Regardless of how the profits from this world were divided, this Class 2 world and dead world’s roots would all become his incubator!
Falling Rainbow was very surprised by Crimson’s decision. When did he start becoming so trusting?
Falling Rainbow was already prepared for Crimson to ask her a list of questions. She had even rehearsed her answers. However, she had not been able to use any of them.
After thinking for a long while, Falling Rainbow could not figure out what was wrong.
If Crimson had noticed something, he would not have allowed this operation to proceed.
Nonetheless, she had accomplished the task Lin Yuan had given her. Her life should be safe now that she had accomplished this task, right?
... Lin Yuan had spent the last two days setting up the Startling Lines Continent. Thick Soil City had already been shifted onto Lift Marsh. It had taken the millions of people living in Thick Soil City far away from the Startling Lines Continent.
Before the battle between the main world and Tower Canon came to an end, Lift Marsh would continue floating around the sea in the vicinity of the Radiance Federation.
The experts and Dictators from the Vast Sea Labyrinth and the water world would protect Lift Marsh.
Meanwhile, the Land Imps started to rebuild the area where Thick Soil City used to be located. They built a transit station between the Radiance Federation and Startling Lines Continent.
From now on, the Startling Lines Continent would become the Radiance Federation’s gate.
When Wen Yu and Liu Jie found out that Lin Yuan was in the Startling Lines Continent, they immediately rushed to him.
They already knew that he had clashed with Tower Canon.
“Young Master, the base in the Startling Lines Continent is complete. How high are our chances of victory in the upcoming battle against Tower Canon?”
