The Eight Pages of Tower Canon had been working together for thousands of years, and all had their own self-serving thoughts.
Given that they all had to work together, it was inevitable that they would scheme against each other.
However, a few members had genuine ties, albeit this only existed between a few specific members.
Some members could not see eye-to-eye with each other.
No one opposed Fourth Page Cavity Orchid's suggestion. As long as they could ensure that
Eighth Page Eye Shadow would awaken; there was nothing wrong with bringing the plan forward. In truth, they were all still here because they were waiting for Eighth Page Eye Shadow to awaken.
Moreover, Fourth Page Cavity Orchid would be giving her own resources to Eighth Page Eye Shadow, and this did not harm the profits of the other members.
They were all fully focused on the main world's evolution.
"It looks like the humans from this earth do have some capabilities! We have underestimated them!"
First Page Crimson slowly furrowed his brow when he heard what Second Page Warbler Candle said.
He felt that Second Page Warbler Candle was no different from an idiot. She remained devoted to Fifth Page Falling Rainbow even after that incident.
Aside from him, Second Page Warbler Candle had been awake the longest and had the best grasp on the circumstances of the human factions. On the other hand, Third Page Violet Light Green, Fourth Page Cavity Orchid, Fifth Page Falling Rainbow, Sixth Page Wave Glow, and Seventh Page Concubine Winding had not been awake for long and had yet to gain an understanding of the level of power the humans wielded.
Due to her abilities, Second Page Warbler Candle had used Second Page Revival as her eyes and ears. Thus, Second Page Warbler Candle had to better understand the main world than him.
Had Second Page Warbler Candle really never wondered why the human factions could rise abruptly and take control of the dimensional worlds?
Two years ago, the human factions had been terrified of the opening of the dimensional rifts. Aside from the Freedom Federation, who had taken the suggestion of Tower Canon and began harvesting resources from the marsh dimensional world, the Radiance and Azure Federations had not shown any inclination to enter and explore the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift and Class 6 water world dimensional rift.
Previously, First Page Crimson had only been aware that the Dictators from the five dimensional worlds attached to this Class 1 world were helping the humans. However, he had no idea that the humans had already assumed full control of the five dimensional worlds.
One needed to obtain the treasure of a dimensional world in order to take control of it. This required time. Thus, it was clear that the humans had been secretly carrying out their plan to take control of the dimensional worlds.
This caused First Page Crimson to feel as though he was in the open while his opponent was hiding in the shadows. He felt as though he was falling into a trap, and he did not like this feeling at all.
Third Page Violet Light Green noticed the change in First Page Crimson's expression and raised her head before she asked softly, "Crimson, did something happen? We are all here. If there's an issue, tell us about it so we can find a way to solve it together!"
First Page Crimson decided that he needed to explain the situation to the rest.
But before he could finish speaking, Second Page Warbler Candle cut him off. "The strongest human has only set his spirit fire alight. A spirit fire expert isn't worth much. Do we really need to hold a meeting just to discuss this?
"First Page Crimson, I can understand why you're afraid of Epoch God Palace, but I never thought that you would be afraid of humans, too! Don't forget about the power we wield!"
Second Page Warbler Candle scoffed, making it clear that she was completely unbothered by the humans from this world.
At this moment, even Third Page Violet Light Green, the group's most cautious, felt that First Page Crimson was being worried over nothing.
First Page Crimson was actually concerned about the humans from this world! The humans from this world were nothing more than nutrients for the dead world.
Third Page Violet Light Green patted First Page Crimson's hand.
"Crimson, has any divine kingdom expert emerged among the humans?"
First Page Crimson shook his head as he was unsure of the answer. After all, he had no way of ascertaining the actual amount of combat power that the humans wielded.
The humans' actions had proven that his information was false.
Now, Tower Canon's Sleeper's Revival plan was about to begin. First Page Crimson could not ignore the plan to investigate the power of the human factions.
Frankly, he believed that this should have been Second Page Warbler Candle's job.
Second Page Warbler Candle had not made use of her abilities to fulfill her role as the scout. He had to do almost everything himself after he woke up.
What had Second Page Warbler Candle been doing in all that time?
The more he thought about it, the angrier First Page Crimson became at Second Page Warbler Candle.
However, he managed to control himself. There was no need to fall out with Second Page Warbler Candle when the plan was about to begin.
"I guess I was just overthinking! Let's just hope the humans aren't hiding too many secrets."
At this point, a thought struck First Page Crimson, and he told Fifth Page Falling Rainbow and Sixth Page Wave Glow, "The two of you need to pay attention to Epoch God Palace's movements to find out if the promotion of this Class 1 world to Class 2 is related to them."
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow and Sixth Page Wave Glow's expressions became austere at the mention of Epoch God Palace.
"Crimson, we will pay close attention to them once the plan begins. We will also find out if Epoch God Palace is trying to disturb our activities! They have been in this world longer than we have. Just what are they waiting for? If Epoch God Palace didn't exist in this world, we wouldn't be having such a hard time."
Sixth Page Wave Glow had voiced what everyone else was thinking.
There was no faction in this world that Tower Canon detested more than Epoch God Palace!
However, all they could do was resent them. They could not actually seek out Epoch God Palace and attack them.
The conflict with Epoch God Palace that took place thousands of years ago had prevented Tower Canon from successfully finding out what Epoch God Palace's secret weapons were. To add insult to injury, Tower Canon had been forced to go into slumber all these thousands of years.
Epoch God Palace was definitely Tower Canon's archenemy!
Fourth Page Cavity Orchid had already arrived next to the eighth coffin and placed her hand on it.
A river of energy flowed out from Fourth Page Cavity Orchid's body and into the black coffin.
The black coffin started to ring before the door opened.
A short, pale, and skinny girl looked at Fourth Page Cavity Orchid with gleaming eyes before she waved at Fourth Page Cavity Orchid in an almost shy manner.
This girl's looks were not considered stunning, but her aura was extraordinary. It made one feel enthralled.
First Page Crimson greeted Eighth Page Eye Shadow before he said, "Now that Eye Shadow is awake, we can activate the death aura in the ley lines now!"
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow followed behind First Page Crimson and intended to activate the death aura alongside the other Eight Pages. But suddenly, a thought struck her, and she said, "I still haven't found my Tower of Falling Rainbow. After trying to sense it, I realized I have lost my connection to it. It must have been stolen and hidden away by someone! I have no clue who owns my Secret of the Dead now."
Seventh Page Concubine Winding said, "I haven't retrieved my Tower of Concubine Winding. The only ones with towers are First Page Crimson, Second Page Warbler Candle, and Fourth Page Cavity Orchid. We don't need the Secrets of the Dead to activate the death aura in the ley lines.
"Once we are done, we can find a time to search for your Tower of Falling Rainbow! As long as your Secret of the Dead is still in this world, we can find it. We will only need the Secrets of the Dead at the last step when we fuse the dead world with this Class 2 world!"
Seventh Page Concubine Winding was always good-natured. But at this moment, she was frustrated with Fifth Page Falling Rainbow as well.
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow had way too many issues. Although Second Page Warbler Candle had made the mistake all those years ago, Fifth Page Falling Rainbow had also been deeply involved. Second Page Warbler Candle had been the weapon, while Fifth Page Falling Rainbow had wielded the weapon.
Seventh Page Concubine Winding was much angrier at Fifth Page Falling Rainbow than she was at Second Page Warbler Candle!
When Seventh Page Concubine Winding was done speaking, Fourth Page Cavity Orchid chimed in. "Let's settle what needs to be done first. If you weren't impatient and insisted on starting the plan now, I wouldn't have used my roots to awaken Sister Eye Shadow."
Eighth Page Eye Shadow glared at Fifth Page Falling Rainbow, and boundless evil flashed in her pretty eyes. However, her lips remained curled in a smile.
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow ignored Eighth Page Eye Shadow's expression and shot a murderous look at Seventh Page Concubine Winding. That mouth of hers sure excelled at driving wedges!
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow cared so much about the Tower of Falling Rainbow because she felt that something must have gone very wrong for her to be unable to sense it. Whoever had hidden the Fifth Page Falling Rainbow away had to be remarkable!
The insect who had been looking after the Tower of Falling Rainbow, Fifth Page Truth, had to be dead by now!
After multiple teleportation trips, the Eight Pages of Tower Canon arrived at a place full of prohibitions.
The ley lines that had started out gold and glittery had turned gray and black. But there was still a large amount of death aura being injected into the already-saturated ley lines.
The roiling gray and black ley lines started to screech, and it was as though the earth itself was crying out.
The Eight Pages of Tower Canon nodded with satisfaction when they saw the color of the ley lines.
After all these years of preparation and waiting, it was finally time to reap their harvests!
Second Page Warbler Candle greedily took a deep breath of all the death aura permeating the air.
"All we need to do now is release some of the dead world's roots and combine it with the ley lines, and our plan will begin! I suggest that we inject more of the dead world's roots so that the dead spirits will be awakened faster than expected! This will especially apply to the high-grade dead spirits!"
First Page Crimson did not rebuke Second Page Warbler Candle because he agreed with her.
He could also use this opportunity to see just how capable the human factions were!
This would also let the humans and sea clans trying to make their best preparations know that merely fleeing would not allow them to escape the revival of the dead spirits!
First Page Crimson looked at the other Eight Pages and asked, "What do you think? At first, I only intended on injecting a day's worth of the dead world's roots. Let's inject three day's worth instead!"
The other members of Tower Canon had no objections because every single one of them was thinking the same thing.
Three days was indeed a good choice. It would hasten the revival of dead spirits while threatening the humans and sea clans and allow them to realize just how stupid their ideas were!
…
Tower Canon had begun the final preparations, and so had Lin Yuan.
The Land Imps were skilled at construction and had become even more skilled after all their time building bases! Thus, their productivity was extremely high.
The sea clans and human federations had all started the final stage of their migration.
The dimensional lifeforms from the dimensional worlds had also established battle lines at the boundaries where they were connected in preparation for the invasion of the dead spirits.
The Land Imps' construction was in full swing, and all the preparations were complete.
But now, Lin Yuan was facing a serious problem, which was that the dead spirits were themselves full of death aura.
Once a large amount of dead spirits were killed, they would sink into the ground and contaminate the earth. As time went on, the contamination would affect the ley lines that had been fine previously.
Now, he urgently needed to find a way to neutralize the death aura.
Silver Corona could consume death aura, and the Mother of Bloodbath could transform death aura. However, they were both only singular entities. Regardless of how strong they were, they could not handle all of the death aura.
What he needed was a fey that he could give to every soldier fighting on the frontlines.
Otherwise, if the death aura was allowed to soak the lifeforms for too long, the lifeforms' lifespans would also be affected.
It was very difficult to solve this issue, especially because it involved nurturing a fey. Lin Yuan knew that this would take a very long time.
Luckily, once Lin Yuan became aware of Tower Canon's plan, he sent the army of Hundred Questions Beasts off to do research.
Finally, the research was showing signs of achieving results.
Some of these feys nurtured by the army of Hundred Questions Beasts indeed had relevant and beneficial abilities. However, they could not reproduce easily.
As a result, it would take two to three months before there were enough of these feys that could absorb death aura to be sent to every soldier in the battle.
Lin Yuan needed a fey that could be nurtured in large quantities within a month!
