1723 The Totem Next to the Saint!
The laborers pulling the white carriage were all riddled with pockmarks and boils, and they were also vomiting continuously.
As a result of these maladies, the air around the laborers was also filled with the stench of decay.
At that moment, the door of the red carriage swung open, and an unseen force pushed a red coffin out.
Once the red coffin was fully out of the carriage, a crack split down the coffin.
“After the battle 3,000 years ago, Tower Canon and Epoch God Palace came to an agreement. We of Tower Canon have kept up our side of the deal by going under the radar for 3,000 years. However, Epoch God Palace has not found the Saint in the past 3,000 years. This threw a wrench into our plans.”
The figure who had spoken removed his mask and took a deep breath before spitting in the direction of the red coffin.
A power that seemed to be strong enough to split the ocean into two slammed down on the coffin, producing a dull thud.
“In the past 3,000 years, Tower Canon has not been idle. Even after 3,000 years, the four of you still haven’t fully regained your strength. Our team couldn’t defeat the four of you when you were at your peak. But now, I will be able to take down four of you just on my own!
“We are going to the Radiance Federation to investigate something. Tower Canon is forbidden from interfering until we’re done. Otherwise, the next thing I spit out won’t be Class 5 strange water but Class 6 instead!”
Once the man was done speaking, he placed the rust-colored mask back on his face.
The figure within the red coffin did not speak.
At that moment, the door of the white carriage opened, and a white coffin emerged.
A sinister voice said, “Since that’s the case, the four of us will be returning. However, Tower Canon will remember this grudge against Epoch God Palace.”
The masked figure replied, “There are countless grudges between Epoch God Palace and Tower Canon. The ones who should be addressing it with Tower Canon are the four palace attendants, not us. If Lord Autumn was the one who had come instead of me, your life would come to an end here!”
The laborers received their orders and started crawling in a semicircle to turn the carriages before they struggled to their feet and dragged the carriages back in the direction they had come from.
All of this caused the purple candle flame that had lit up in the eyes of the young man standing behind the Goddess of Mercy to flicker.
But his expression relaxed a moment later.
It was as though nothing mattered to him.
Autumn 21 was about to lead the team into the Radiance Federation when he suddenly received an order.
A look of disbelief spread across his face, and he said to the other rust-colored mask-wearing men, “Lord Palace Attendant has ordered us to return to the palace. Apparently, the totem in the palace has changed.”
Although the rest of the figures wore masks, they all radiated auras of joy and excitement.
They sped off back to the palace even faster than when they came.
…
Four palace attendants were kneeling on the ground of a palace.
Their heads were raised as they looked unblinkingly at the totem in the hall.
Previously, only the Totem God and the Saint appeared on the totem.
But now, there was an eight-tailed cat, a bird with a sun above its head, bone lotus flowers, and a butterfly next to the Saint.
No one knew what was the meaning behind the appearance of these four new images, the meaning behind the images themselves, or why they had appeared next to the Saint.
However, the changes to the totem proved that the Totem God and the Saint definitely existed in the world and that something about them had changed.
The four attendants respectfully kowtowed thrice at the newly appeared totems.
While they were kowtowing, no one noticed that the Saint was now holding a sword with a young girl wrapped around it.
However, this sword was behind the Saint and could only be seen when the palace’s light was set to its brightest.
After they left the palace, the only female among the four attendants said, “The change to the Totem God and Saint’s totems proves that the disruption of the epoch clock hasn’t had any effects. Before the main world becomes truly chaotic, we can continue to wait as per our original plan.”
The girl’s suggestion received clear agreement from the other three.
She went on to say, “Since the totem has changed, there’s no need for us to continue to sleep. After accumulating power for 3,000 years, we can now offer all of it up to the Totem God in the totem!”
The girl returned to her palace and knelt to transfer all the power she had accumulated into the Totem God’s totem.
The three of them followed suit.
Meanwhile…
Lin Yuan suddenly felt a burning sensation on his wrist.
Morbius’ voice said in his head, “Friend, for some reason, a large amount of power just entered my body. I channeled all of this power into my roots as storage. I don’t think I’ll need to sleep from now on as long as nothing exceptional happens! I can use this power however I want. There’s a lot that I can do with the power of my roots.”
Lin Yuan found this strange.
He had always treated Morbius as a fey, but he had never heard of a case where a large amount of power suddenly entered a fey for no reason.
However, this was very beneficial to Morbius, so Lin Yuan did not think much of it.
Lin Yuan planned on returning to the Return from Faraway Mansion after the group battle to have a good talk with Morbius.
Liu Wencheng stood up again and said, “For the first round of Capture the General, the general of the Freedom Federation died, making the Radiance Federation victorious. The group battle shall begin now. Freedom Federation, how would you like to proceed with the group battle?”
According to the rules of the Major Federation Meeting, the side that lost Capture the General could decide how many people participated in the group battle while the winning side decided the rules.
Lin Yuan’s victory had given the Radiance Federation the advantage in the group battle.
