2676 Sea of Insects Under the Startling Lines Continent!
What if Lin Yuan felt that these dead spirits were easy to deal with? The other experts he had under his control were also capable of killing dead spirits!
At this point, Keira’s gaze on Doom was downright nasty.
Doom had not managed to understand what Keira wanted. This meant that she had gone against Keira’s wishes twice.
This made Keira livid.
If Lin Yuan did not currently need the female insects that were born from consuming the dead dimensional lifeforms’ genes, Keira would have already taught Doom a lesson to appease the fury she felt.
While Keira was stewing in her anger, Lin Yuan sincerely complimented her, “The demon insects is indeed strong. There are many more dead spirits beneath the Startling Lines Continent than the Radiance Federation.
“When the Land Imps go to remove the metal-type stone boards, the five female insects can quickly reproduce, and Wen Yu will deliver the demon insects with reproductive abilities to various parts of the main world.”
Keira finally relaxed when she heard Lin Yuan’s praise. Her displeasure towards Doom also subsided significantly.
If Lin Yuan removed the metal-type stone boards from the entire Startling Lines Continent, the demon insects would definitely be able to unleash the full force of their combat power and show Lin Yuan the fierceness of the demon insects.
It was because she knew that Lin Yuan really wanted to protect the main world that Keira had decided to allow the five demon insect eggs to absorb the dead dimensional lifeforms’ genetic model before reproducing. Otherwise, she would have just laid two to three eggs.
“Master, now that I am aware of your goal, the demon insects will do our best to reproduce in a way that will benefit your goal! Compared to the alien insects, we demon insects have much stronger reproductive abilities!”
Keira made this guarantee while she instructed the other four demon insects to send the insect eggs underground and begin consuming the dead spirits there.
Occasionally, a newly born demon insect with a Class 3 or 2 Genetic Lock would emerge from the hold. All of them had the demon insects’ reproductive abilities.
Each time a newly born demon insect appeared, Wen Yu used the Elemental Paper’s ability to send it to a certain area in the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan had started dealing with the dead spirits in the Radiance Federation even before Qin Yu had arrived with the Land Imps!
By now, Lin Yuan fully believed what Keira had said.
Due to his contract with Keira, Lin Yuan could sense where the demon insects were located.
The demon insects already occupied a space underground that had a diameter of over 60 meters and had begun reproducing and colonizing.
The five female demon insects had only sent their eggs into the hole but had not entered personally. If they had, their power and reproductive abilities would be even stronger!
He had already found a counter for the move that Tower Canon had just made. Lin Yuan was very curious to find out if Tower Canon would come up with another move to try and fix this.
Lin Yuan did not have to wait for long. Qin Yu and the Land Imps had already rushed over.
Qin Yu bowed deeply when he saw Lin Yuan.
“Young Master, as per your instructions, I have brought all the Land Imps over from the Startling Lines Continent. Do you want them to start removing the metal-type stone boards now?”
Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “That’s right. Let them begin removing the metal-type stone boards now! Remember to start from the center and move outwards. Keira will communicate with you on how fast the removal should proceed.”
Lin Yuan looked at Keira.
She was the demon insects’ strongest female and was capable of controlling all the demon insects.
The demon insects she produced only listened to her. Given the circumstances, it would be the most appropriate for her to be the one to communicate with the Land Imps. This would ensure that the rate at which the insect army was consuming the dead spirits and dead dimensional lifeforms matched the rate at which the Land Imps were removing the metal-type stone boards.
If the Land Imps removed the metal-type stone boards quicker than the rate at which the demon insects reproduced, the dead spirits and dimensional lifeforms would become a danger for the humans living in Thick Soil City.
Lin Yuan had put a lot of effort and resources into building Thick Soil City, so he did not want anything to happen to it.
With Keira’s intelligence, she was able to communicate smoothly with the Land Imps.
These Land Imps were all under Lin Yuan’s control. He never neglected to provide them with benefits. Otherwise, they would not be as submissive and willing to work hard. All of them knew that there were benefits to being part of Lin Yuan’s camp.
Thus, none of them wanted to cause trouble while working with Keira.
Keira personally set aside a space for the Land Imps, and the head Land Imps began dismantling the metal-type stone boards there.
A large amount of metal-type spiritual ingredients was separated from the metal-type stone boards and transformed into resources that Lin Yuan could use in any other way he wanted.
At first, the Land Imps thought that this would be a very time-consuming task.
The Land Imps were acutely aware of how terrifying the dimensional lifeforms were.
When the concentrated death aura made contact with a living creature, its muscles would immediately start to decay.
There were many Land Imps that had suffered due to the death aura emanating from the dead dimensional lifeforms.
Luckily, there were many Turning Wheel Realm Dictators stationed around the Dead Spirits Wells. Once they encountered a dead dimensional lifeform, they would kill them immediately and toss the corpse into the Dead Spirits Wells.
The vines around the Dead Spirits Wells and the Death-Cleansing Scale Snakes would then handle the rest and finally get the situation under control.
The Land Imps were already astonished that the demon insects could deal with the dead spirits and dead dimensional lifeforms.
However, Keira expanded the area, and even with all the Land Imps working at maximum effort, they only just managed to match the rate at which the demon insects were consuming the dead spirits and dead dimensional lifeforms.
The demon insects were moving with such ferocity that everything was progressing swiftly.
This did not mean that the insects produced by the female demon insects would be able to fully address all the dead spirits in the Startling Lines Continent. It was not so easy to clear out the dead spirits!
With the Startling Lines Continent’s long history, the number of lifeforms that had died were millions of times more than the number that was still alive. It was just that the dead spirits were being awakened in waves.
Keira just needed to keep the demon insects with Class 3 and 2 Genetic Locks at the lowest depths, and they would form a shield that also enabled the insect army to expand freely.
Meanwhile, the Land Imps would protect the surface.
As more and more dead dimensional lifeforms were consumed, Keira managed to fully examine the dead dimensional lifeforms’ powers.
Keira did not know if Lin Yuan was already aware of the dead dimensional lifeforms’ full powers, but nothing bad could come out of her reporting what she had found out to him.
“Master, these dead dimensional lifeforms have very similar auras to that of the dimensional worlds attached to a Class 3 world. Their powers and genes are similar as well.
“Didn’t you mention that you think Tower Canon is from another world? If my guess is right, Tower Canon is from a dimensional world attached to a Class 3 world. Not every Class 3 world becomes fully fused with the dimensional worlds attached to it when it is promoted. Some dimensional worlds that are sufficiently powerful can escape the fusing. These dimensional lifeforms will try to sink their world and cause it to fall into another world.
“However, this method is very dangerous. If it fails, the dimensional world will become suspended in a half-world state and will be at risk of being swallowed by dimensional storms. I think that this is what is happening to the dead spirits. If the dead dimensional world really arrived here after sinking their world, they should have landed in a world that is of a similar class to their original world.
“I have no idea how they ended up in a Class 1 world. They either used a treasure that can break through the walls between worlds, or this world already contained a presence that is beyond a Class 3 world.
“This faction has already broken past the walls between worlds. However, they decided to close one eye and did not eliminate Tower Canon, who arrived here after sinking their world. I think that there is a high chance that this faction is Epoch God Palace.
“Otherwise, there is no other reason to explain why Tower Canon lost to Epoch God Palace! Do you think this makes sense?”
Keira’s intention was to report the facts to Lin Yuan. She did not expect her words to make Lin Yuan feel as though he was seeing the truth!
Keira came from the Sky Beyond the Clouds. She might not have as many resources as him, but he could not hope to catch up to her in knowledge and experience. This was because Lin Yuan had not had the chance to head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. His perception was limited to that of a Class 2 world.
Keira’s broad horizons made up for Lin Yuan’s lack of knowledge and experience. For the first time, Lin Yuan got a sense of Epoch God Palace’s level of power.
Epoch God Palace was undeniably an immense faction that Lin Yuan would struggle to match up to.
Lin Yuan could not help but worry about this.
Lin Yuan already knew everything about Tower Canon’s plan. There was a high chance that they wanted to revive the sunken dimensional world.
However, Lin Yuan was still completely oblivious to Epoch God Palace’s goal.
Epoch God Palace had come to this Class 1 world earlier than Tower Canon. Otherwise, Tower Canon would not have been able to arrive in this Class 1 world.
The real extraordinary anomaly in this world was Epoch God Palace!
“Keira, how powerful do you think Tower Canon’s strongest dimensional lifeform is?”
Keira pondered for a moment before she replied, “For a dimensional world attached to a Class 3 world to be able to sink itself, this dimensional world has to be extremely powerful. However, it won’t be stronger than a Class 3 main world.
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t have needed to sink itself. Hence, the strongest dimensional lifeforms will definitely be World Emperor grade and divine world level but won’t be stronger than World Emperor grade and pinnacle divine world level!”
Keira’s estimate was very safe. She believed that Tower Canon’s experts’ powers would not be able to reach World Emperor grade and pinnacle divine kingdom level. Otherwise, they would not have to act this cautiously.
Lin Yuan nodded.
The World Emperor grade and divine kingdom level was the standard to which lifeforms were measured in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Based on the measurement for dimensional lifeforms, it would be the Afterlife Realm.
This meant that the strongest of the real Eight Pages of Tower Canon would only be the equivalent of a pinnacle Afterlife Realm Dictator.
When Lin Yuan fused with the Abyss Red Lotus and used the ability Lotus Locks the World, he could exceed World Emperor grade and divine kingdom level.
If it truly came to blows, Tower Canon would be no match for him.
However, this conclusion was solely based on Keira’s deduction. There was no certainty that she was right.
This was because she had been asleep for numerous years. Secondly, Tower Canon had already been in the main world for many years. Who could say that the real Eight Pages had not increased their power?
While Lin Yuan was thinking, Wen Yu could not be busier.
She had delivered many demon insects with Class 2 and 3 Genetic Locks.
Each delivery she made exceeded the Radiance Federation’s needs.
With the demon insects’ powers, only a few of them would be sufficient to take control of a Dead Spirits Well.
This was not because Wen Yu had an optimistic view. Rather, she preferred to take a pessimistic mindset so she could always prepare for the worst. This would prevent her from panicking and being left at a loss if the worst-case scenario did come into play.
Not only would the demon insects with Class 2 and 3 Genetic Locks be enough to solve the Radiance Federation’s issue, but they could also become the solution for the other dimensional worlds once they were delivered there.
A thought struck Wen Yu, and she asked, “Keira, can you produce demon insects that can handle dead spirits and absorb death aura underwater?”
Keira looked at Wen Yu. She knew Wen Yu’s place by Lin Yuan’s side. Hence, she dared not show Wen Yu any disrespect and hurriedly said, “70% of the demon insects’ offspring is made up of our own genes. The other 30% comes from the genetic model of other lifeforms. As long as we can get our hands on dead dimensional lifeforms that can do battle underwater, the female insects will be able to produce demon insects with Class 2 Genetic Locks and clean up the dead spirits and death aura from the seas.
“Even if we can’t find dimensional lifeforms that are able to do battle underwater, dead spirits that can do battle underwater will be fine as well. However, the female insects will only be able to produce demon insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks from dead spirits.
“I am sure you have seen for yourself the difference in the demon insects’ powers that come from the different Genetic Locks classes. If you need such demon insects, I can send one female insect specifically to produce such demon insects.”
Wen Yu did not respond. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuan.
She had asked this question on Lin Yuan’s behalf and to give him a reminder. The main world would not be saved just by dealing with the dead spirits on land!
The seas were already contaminated by death aura. When the seawater evaporated, they would also move towards the land and spread death aura there.
Wen Yu had realized early on that saving the sea clans and water world lifeforms were also part of saving the main world and Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan instructed Keira, “Keira, send out a female demon insect. Someone will soon send over the dead dimensional lifeforms and dead spirits that can do battle underwater. For now, order the female insect to enter a reproductive state!”
