2632 What is the Moon Empress Doing?
No one would be able to place an exact number on how many lives had been lost from the first to fifth epochs. Every inch of land in the main world had been the final resting spot of billions of lifeforms.
Humans were akin to a dim light that passed from epoch to epoch. Many dominant lifeforms had ended up extinct in the previous epochs.
It could be said that even the Freedom Federation and Azure Federation were depressed by this news, especially the Mirror God and God of Fools.
Both of them had worked with Tower Canon many times. It turned out that they had unknowingly aided in such a treacherous and amoral scheme!
The Mirror God and God of Fools looked at the Moon Empress, as well as the other members of the Radiance Federation’s royalty by her side.
Could it be that she had the means to take on such a disaster?
Both of them had already become loyal to her. Although they had not made their stances clear, they and the other members of the Freedom Federation’s royalty were all under the Moon Empress’ control.
The Radiance Federation could control the marsh world and make all the Samsara Realm Dictators submit to them. This was enough to prove the Radiance Federation’s formidable power.
However, the Samsara Realm Dictators would not be enough to fend off this disaster. The Samsara Realm Dictators could protect themselves, but not the regular people living in the federations. There was no way that the Moon Empress was unaware of that!
Nonetheless, the Moon Empress still held the Major Federation Union meeting. This meant that she already had a way to solve the issue.
The Mirror God and God of Fools were in disbelief. They had no idea what the Moon Empress could be planning.
The Moon Empress’ words caused the atmosphere to plunge into one of despair, and all the federation representatives lost hope.
If the Moon Empress wanted to establish the Radiance Federation’s position as the leader, she would have to give the other federations hope.
Thus, the Moon Empress’ next move would definitely be to reveal the Radiance Federation’s secret weapon.
The Mirror God and God of Fools were interested to see what the Moon Empress had up her sleeve!
They could use this opportunity to learn just how much power the Radiance Federation had accumulated all this time and how large the gap between their federations was.
Many federation representatives were shocked that the Spirit Mother had personally led the envoy team to the Radiance Federation.
The Spirit Mother Federation was the most closed-off of all the Class 5 Creation Master federations and rarely interacted with the outside world. They were often absent at Major Federation Meetings as well!
There was not much honor attached to the Spirit Mother Federation itself. Anything that could be considered a sense of honor had been used to safeguard the Spirit Mother’s position.
Yet, the Spirit Mother, who did not even attend the Major Federation Meetings, had chosen to participate in the Major Federation Union meeting headed by the Radiance Federation.
This seemed bizarre to the majority of federations.
The Spirit Mother was currently observing the Moon Empress. He felt her strength yet recognized her as a birth horoscope expert. She remained less powerful than the secret faction’s assigned expert, who was accompanying and protecting Bu Po.
The Moon Empress was one of the Radiance Federation’s most famous experts and had achieved impressive results during a Major Federation Meeting many years ago. It was also then that the Radiance Federation became the champion of the Major Federation Meeting for the first time.
An expert who had grown to power in such an exposed manner would not be able to hide her power to a significant extent.
Thus, the Spirit Mother could immediately be certain that the faction behind Bu Po was linked to the Moon Empress, but the link was not strong!
This made the Spirit Mother rather doubtful.
Given the Spirit Mother’s understanding of the Radiance Federation, there was no way that a secret faction was controlling the Radiance Federation.
The Radiance Federation’s members of royalty were strong-headed, and the federation’s development in recent years had been eye-catchingly obvious.
If a faction was controlling the Radiance Federation and trying to bleed them out, there was no way the faction would have invested so many resources to develop and strengthen the federation in the first place!
But the Spirit Mother would find it strange if the faction had been borne out of the Radiance Federation.
At that moment, the Spirit Mother had the exact same thinking as the Mirror God and God of Fools. He was also waiting to hear what the Moon Empress said next.
Luo Lan, Jin Qianxun, and Yi Huailong were the rulers of the Startling Lines Continent’s three federations, and they had been assigned seats that were next to each other.
The three of them were well-acquainted with each other and had been communicating often through the Thoughts Letter Paper during the past year.
Since Yi Huailong and Jin Qianxun knew that Luo Lan was on slightly closer terms with Lin Yuan, they sought her opinion in numerous matters despite the three of them technically being rivals.
The trio knew that the Moon Empress was Lin Yuan’s master—his status became clear once they arrived in the Radiance Federation. Thus, they were filled with curiosity toward the Moon Empress. Just what kind of person had managed to teach and produce such an outstanding disciple?
Due to being the ruler of both the Dark Continent and Sand Island Continent, Su Yiren had a higher status than the Spirit Mother.
Lin Yuan had sent Di Wanmi, a Class 5 Creation Master, as well as many Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, to Su Yiren.
Su Yiren possessed enough strength and resources to befit her status and handle her responsibilities.
When she saw that the representatives from the Azure Federation had yet to recover from their shock and that the Freedom Federation seemed to have no intention of asking questions,
Su Yiren pressed on her microphone and waited for three seconds before she asked, “I’m sure the first Major Federation Union meeting is not only meant to be a question-answering session. It is more important that we use this time to solve problems.
“So, Lordess Moon Empress, if you have any ideas, please guide us in the right direction that will give our millions of citizens the best chance of surviving the disaster of dead spirits!”
Su Yiren had intentionally addressed the Moon Empress as ‘Lordess’.
As the ruler of a federation, Su Yiren held equal standing with the Moon Empress at this meeting. As such, she did not need to address the Moon Empress that way!
Su Yiren had done so because the Moon Empress was Lin Yuan’s master. Out of respect for Lin Yuan, Su Yiren had to give the Moon Empress the proper respect as well.
From their previous interactions, Su Yiren sensed Lin Yuan’s respect for the Moon Empress.
By addressing the Moon Empress in such a way, she was also setting an example for the other federation rulers. Now, they would also know how to address the Moon Empress when they spoke.
When Su Yiren spoke, the Moon Empress smiled at her. She had heard Lin Yuan mention Su Yiren more than once.
Su Yiren was very important in Lin Yuan’s plans for Sky City. Although she was not as important as Wen Yu, she was still considered part of Sky City’s backbone, second only to Wen Yu and Liu Jie.
Lin Yuan mainly appreciated Su Yiren’s abilities.
Lin Yuan’s sights had always been set beyond the main world. Given Su Yiren’s impressive capabilities, he would likely take her to the new world.
While Su Yiren was observing the Moon Empress, the latter was doing the same to Su Yiren.
The Moon Empress had never spoken to Su Yiren in the past. But from what Su Yiren said, it meant that she understood the Moon Empress’ intentions.
The Moon Empress’ words were like an opening line, while Su Yiren’s question had captured the attention of the other federation representatives.
Many federation representatives echoed Su Yiren and hoped the Moon Empress could provide a way to overcome this crisis.
These federation representatives cursed Tower Canon more than once.
Just how much did this organization hate the world? Why did they have to bring forth such a disaster all of a sudden?
Furthermore, the Freedom Federation had worked with Tower Canon numerous times in the past. Could they be linked to Tower Canon’s schemes as well?
At that moment, the federation representatives could not be bothered to fear the Mirror God and God of Fools and began glaring at them.
If anyone looked at them in this way in the past, the Mirror God and God of Fools would have already lost their tempers. But they knew they did not have the right to fly into a rage before the Moon Empress.
Tower Canon had given the Freedom Federation two special precious instruments during a previous trade. They had said the precious instrument could gather death aura and asked them to collect all the death aura from the Freedom Federation.
The Mirror God and God of Fools had agreed without thinking too much about it.
It would benefit a federation greatly to have all of its death aura sucked out from it, as it would only help the federation to thrive. The growth of plants would be significantly improved!
At that time, neither the Mirror God nor God of Fools had asked why Tower Canon wanted to collect such a large amount of death aura.
The death aura the Freedom Federation had absorbed using the precious instrument had to have been an important step in the process of the Sleeper’s Revival plan.
Although the Mirror God and God of Fools always prioritized their own profits, they would not have traded with Tower Canon and would have even tried to put a stop to their plan if they had been aware of it in advance!
The Moon Empress waited for around a minute until she had the full attention of every federation representative present before she took out a sample of the metal-type stone board that Lin Yuan had given her. She placed the 50-centimeter-thick stone boards on the table in front of her and formed a small, sharp tower.
“This is a 50-centimeter-thick sample. There are more than 30 rocks within this stone board. Some of these rocks are intentionally meant to keep out dark souls like dead spirits. They are also very durable. Only dead spirits with Eternal power will be able to break through the metal-type stone boards. All dead spirits weaker than that will be kept below these boards!
“Aside from these rocks, the metal-type stone boards also contain more than 40 types of mesh metals. The mesh metals were packed tightly together. They cannot only keep death aura out but also have spatial-stabilizing properties!” the Moon Empress declared.
The Moon Empress said nothing else after describing the metal-type stone boards. She waited for the federation representatives to ask her questions about them.
A person’s will to fight could fade quickly, but confidence took a long time to build up.
Due to Tower Canon’s plan, the federation representatives had already lost all their confidence.
The Moon Empress wanted to help these people to build their confidence back up. As such, she could not be overly anxious.
The federation representatives stared at the sharp tower made of the metal-type stone boards. They found it hard to believe that this was being used as a building material.
One could only imagine the implications for a board like this that could block out dead spirits!
Creating the ingredients needed for this board was one matter, while putting it all together was another matter altogether. There was resource cost and time to consider.
Furthermore, there was no way to lay down all of them. Before the disaster of dead spirits began, there might not even be time to lay down all the boards to cover a small town!
What was the Moon Empress doing? How could she only begin thinking of building a dam now when the flood was almost upon them?
The Cleaning Burning Federation’s Duke Sparrow had been acquainted with the Moon Empress for a long time. There was no way she would scramble in the face of a crisis!
The other members of royalty would never agree if she was making the decision in such a condition.
However, Duke Sparrow still voiced his doubts. “Moon Empress, I don’t think boards like this are a practical solution. But if you need similar minerals and metal resources, the Cleaning Burning Federation is willing to supply them to the Radiance Federation for free!”
Duke Sparrow had not forgotten to extend an arm of friendship to the Radiance Federation while voicing his doubts.
After the first voice of doubt was raised, others quickly joined in. After all, they all believed there was no point in the Moon Empress bringing up this board now!
Even if 100,000 Spirit Craftsmen were given a month, they would not even be able to cover 2,000 square feet of space!
Regular Spirit Craftsmen would not be able to cut such materials that could block out feys that were Eternal and below, much less use them to form mesh structures!
The Moon Empress did not look displeased by the doubts. She had also brought up the same doubts when she first saw the stone boards. However, Lin Yuan had given her a shocking explanation that completely opened up her mind.
After all the federation representatives were done voicing their doubts, the Moon Empress raised her hand and stored the samples away before she said, “It’s very difficult to build these stone boards, and it takes a lot of finesse. However, the Radiance Federation is already fully covered by these boards. As long as no dead spirits above Eternal power appear, the Radiance Federation’s citizens will be safe!”
The Moon Empress’ words were like a tsunami sweeping everyone present.
Everyone, including the Mirror God and God of Fools, looked astonished. Even Su Yiren had not expected things to have progressed so swiftly!
Su Yiren suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if she were suspended in an unfamiliar emotion.
In the past, she always stayed updated about everything by Lin Yuan’s side.
Lately, her focus had been entirely on managing the Dark Continent. Her dream was to restore the Dark Continent’s glory and bring it back to the Seven States of Darkness.
However, the Dark Continent wasn’t part of Lin Yuan’s goals or plans. Lin Yuan respected her aspirations and determination, generously providing her with ample resources.
Yet, if she continued confining her ambitions to the Dark Continent, she would eventually find herself excluded from Sky City’s inner circle, no matter how much Lin Yuan acknowledged her skills.
In an instant, Su Yiren felt like she had emerged from being submerged underwater, breaking through to the surface.
