Chapter 2719 Gray's Evolution!

In order to cooperate with Fifth Page Falling Rainbow's plan, Lin Yuan did not continue instructing the army of demon insects to absorb death aura from the ley line under the canyon.

However, the demon insects did not halt completely.

The demon insects in the other areas of the main world continued absorbing death aura while searching for ley lines.

Lin Yuan learned about the dead world from Falling Rainbow.

First, Tower Canon extracted the death aura that had built up in the main world over the past billions of years and injected it into the ley lines to alter their states. They then used the dead world's roots to activate the death aura in the ley lines with the intention of enabling the dead world to consume and replace the main world's roots.

By combining the five dimensional worlds with the main world and promoting it from a Class 1 to a Class 2 world, Lin Yuan played directly into Tower Canon's benefits! There was much more loot to plunder from a Class 2 world than a Class 1 world.

However, the dead world was only a dimensional world of a Class 3 world.

It was much more challenging for the remnants of the dead world to consume the roots of a Class 2 world than the roots of a Class 1 world. This was why Tower Canon's plan had been progressing so slowly.

If the main world was still a Class 1 world, the roots of the dead world would have already consumed the roots of the main world.

Aside from continuously sending out dead dimensional lifeforms, Tower Canon had not made any significant moves recently.

If they had not discovered the death aura leak, there was no way that two of the Eight Pages would have stepped out into this world.

This was because Tower Canon had been cowering in fear of Epoch God Palace.

Given that he was Epoch God Palace's target, it was more likely that they were foes rather than friends.

But when it came to limiting Tower Canon, Epoch God Palace had indeed been of help to Lin Yuan as they helped him to save on time.

Now, all Lin Yuan needed to do was wait to hear back from Falling Rainbow.

Even if Falling Rainbow could not meet his requests, she could report Tower Canon's movements to him. This would make it easier for Lin Yuan to come up with responses.

From the way that Falling Rainbow and the other members of Tower Canon reacted when he was attacking them, Lin Yuan could tell that the Eight Pages were not on good terms.

The two of them had tried to use the other as shields to hide from the attacks.

If Falling Rainbow and the other members of Tower Canon worked together, they might not be able to win against him in the end, but they would not fall so quickly or miserably!

Hence, there was a high chance that Falling Rainbow would side with him in order to save her own life.

Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone and went to Keira's nest.

Hu Quan was leading the over 40 Spirit Craftsmen and almost 400 Land Imps in building the frame of Keira's nest.

Due to the presence of the immense amount of pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the demon insects could consume the spirit qi as food. If they wanted to replenish their vitality, they could consume the Soldier Ration Radishes, the best vitality source for lifeforms.

Keira's nest was mainly functional as it served as her individual residence.

The surrounding nests linked together in a teardrop formation were the residences of the female insects.

The entire colony was a giant demon insect production line. Young demon insects with Class 2 and 3 Genetic Locks were born with every passing second.

Once these young demon insects were produced, Lin Yuan would immediately transport them to various parts of the main world to help with the dead spirits crisis.

Previously, the demon insects were mainly developed to target the special dead spirits.

But now, the demon insects were mainly developed to expand the insect army.

The larger the insect army, the faster the cleaning of the ley lines.

Every demon insect was naturally able to clean death aura.

Keira could also use her energy to develop demon insects with 'shuttle' functions that made them similar to the Dimensional Light Moth.

Fat Pocket could use the dimensional space in its body to store a large number of insect-species carcinoma feys. The demon insects with shuttle functions could do the same.

However, these demon insects could carry out coordinated transfers while Fat Pocket could not. This significantly raised the maneuverability of the enormous army.

It was because of this that the demon insects could thrive in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Aside from demon insects with shuttle abilities, Keira could produce demon insects with many other types of abilities.

Once Keira obtained the genes of powerful lifeforms, she could attempt to combine the lifeforms' genes with the demon insect bloodline. This would enable her to produce demon insects with new abilities.

Hu Quan was currently assigning tasks to the Spirit Craftsmen and had not noticed Lin Yuan's arrival.

Liu Tong, who was next to Hu Quan and watching the Land Imps work, immediately alerted Hu Quan when he noticed Lin Yuan. He bowed to Lin Yuan respectfully and loudly greeted him, "Lord City Lord."

Hu Quan was a member of Sky City. The Heavenly Craft Pavilion, which he founded, was also under Sky City. It served and provided Sky City with resources just like the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce did.

Just like the members of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, the Spirit Craftsmen from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion could not call themselves members of Sky City.

However, six months ago, Hu Quan strongly endorsed Liu Tong to Lin Yuan as a new member of Sky City.

At first, the other Spirit Craftsmen saw Liu Tong as an in-name disciple. Now, they saw Liu Tong as Hu Quan's disciple.

Lin Yuan had a deep impression of Liu Tong.

Aside from being hard-working and capable, he had a higher EQ than the other Spirit Craftsmen, as well as a sharper eye.

After his time in the marsh world, Liu Tong had also acquired strong management skills. This improved his ability to help Hu Quan manage the other Spirit Craftsmen.

Hu Quan's craftsmanship was unquestionable. But he lagged far behind Liu Tong when it came to management and organization.

Liu Tong could make up for Hu Quan's weakness.

Moreover, Liu Tong's Spirit Craftsman talent was decent. The more time they spent together, the more Hu Quan came to adore Liu Tong!

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded at Liu Tong.

Lin Yuan knew that Liu Tong wanted to express his gratitude. Liu Tong's set of feys was the best among the federations' Spirit Craftsmen.

Lin Yuan was the only one in the entire main world that could supply functional-type Bronze/Legend feys suited for Spirit Craftsmen.

The time the Spirit Craftsmen spent in the marsh world had been exhausting, but they had enjoyed a very high quality of life. Most importantly, they had attained substantial hope.

When Hu Quan walked over to Lin Yuan, Keira also left her nest and made a beeline for Lin Yuan.

Hu Quan's face fell when he saw Keira.

Lin Yuan knew that Hu Quan and Keira did not get along. Hu Quan had already complained to him about Keira multiple times in the short span of a few days!

However, Lin Yuan could not decide who was right and who was wrong.

As a top Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan preferred inspirational designs over traditional and mundane ones. He always strove for the best aesthetic.

However, the most important factor to Keira was practicality. She preferred functionality over beauty. As such, she could not appreciate Hu Quan's exquisite designs.

Keira would rather do away with unnecessary touches of beauty that served no purpose and have a wide environment that was conducive to the demon insects' growth.

The demon insects had night vision, so Keira had rejected the light installations that Hu Quan wanted to build into the roof.

This caused Hu Quan to feel that he was not being included in the construction of the nest.

However, Lin Yuan had tasked him with building the nest.

Hu Quan was afraid Lin Yuan would think he lacked taste and competency once he saw this nest.

"Uncle Hu, Keira's nest should be almost complete. You won't have to worry about the construction anymore. You can design the rest of the space however you like!"

A soft expression spread across Hu Quan's face when he heard what Lin Yuan said.

Hu Quan had put a lot of effort into building this paradise-like space.

Ever since he joined Lin Yuan, the latter had placed great trust in him and was always willing to provide him with opportunities.

Every spiritual ingredient used to construct the base in the Spirit Lock spatial zone would be cause for astonishment in the outside world!

There were numerous occasions during the construction process that he had wasted spiritual ingredients for the sake of the design. But Lin Yuan had been extremely understanding each time.

"Young Master, I have already come up with the design for many other places in this paradise. All I need to do is begin carving! I have also instructed the Land Imps to rebuild the foundation of the underground palace you moved into the paradise. It now sits in the location you specified!"

From this, Lin Yuan knew that Hu Quan had not rested much of late. Otherwise, progress couldn't be this quick!

Not only had Hu Quan kept himself from resting, but he had overworked the other Spirit Craftsmen as well.

Although Hu Quan and the other Spirit Craftsmen had all contracted Vitality Sloths, they could not work constantly without a break or doing leisure activities!

"Uncle Hu, it will take more than a few days to complete the construction of this space. I'm not in a rush! Art comes from life. The best inspiration will only arise from the united efforts of the entire team!"

After speaking to Hu Quan, Lin Yuan accompanied Keira to the insect colony.

The interior of the nest was bare and resembled a thatched house that had never been renovated. There was a layer of the Soldier Ration Radishes on the ground from which Keira could pick and eat whenever she wanted.

Keira reported, "Master, the dead spirits are not a significant threat. Although new dead dimensional lifeforms continue to emerge, the special demon insects that were previously produced are able to handle these new dead dimensional lifeforms.

"I can now speed up the nurturing of the demon insect army! Additionally, I will be entering a period of slumber during which I will use the energy in my genes to produce more demon insects with shuttle abilities!"

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement with Keira's plans.

Firstly, Keira needed to nurture the demon insects with shuttle abilities as quickly as possible to speed up removing death aura from the ley lines and return the main world to its original state!

Secondly, Keira could not be of much help in taking on the other six members of Tower Canon. The demon insects existed only to fend off the endless waves of dead spirits and dimensional lifeforms.

Lastly, Keira did not have to be left in an undisturbed state while she was slumbering and nurturing the demon insects with shuttle abilities. If she was truly needed, Lin Yuan could awaken her.

Although this would waste a significant amount of her energy, the energy could be replenished by pure spirit qi! In other words, it would only be a waste of some spirit qi.

The spirit pool in the Spirit Lock spatial zone released a large amount of pure spirit qi every second.

After getting Lin Yuan's approval, Keira wrapped her arms around herself.

Soon, a special type of vitality began flowing out from her body and formed a convulsing cocoon around her.

At first, Lin Yuan intended to watch the demon insect species' reproduction process.

But at that moment, a tuft of cloud gathered around Lin Yuan's body, and he heard Gray's voice say, "Yuan, I really want to comprehend Willpower Runes!"

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Gray.
