2581 The Hand That Starts the Epoch!
“It’s true that the dead who have been buried but have yet to decompose can be revived. But it’s not only them who can be revived. The souls of every human, animal, and insect can be revived, too!
“The deceased whose corpses’ haven’t decomposed will be able to use their bodies again or use their souls to take over the bodies of other lifeforms. Those who are unable to gain a body will consume each other, and the gathering of souls will eventually turn into undead creatures known as specters. That is my understanding of the Sleeper’s Revival!”
Lin Yuan’s hand landed forcefully on the chair made of the Abyss Red Lotus’ stalks. His hand immediately split apart from the force, and fresh red and gold blood splattered out.
Lin Yuan had already seen his fair share of the world, and his mental state was as steady and unshakable as a mountain. It was difficult to find something that could shock him.
But now, he had even broken his fist on this chair.
Liu Jie and Wen Yu would definitely be shocked to see him now!
They went a long way back with Lin Yuan but had never seen him lose control in such a way.
So this was the real meaning of the Sleeper’s Revival!
The main world had already experienced five long epochs. Each of them involved the rise and extinction of thousands of species.
When the shrine in Lin Yuan’s soul became a divine kingdom, he developed it by using faith power. Now, lifeforms and derivation had appeared.
This allowed Lin Yuan to slowly understand what an epoch was.
The transition of epochs seemed to be associated with time, but the connection was not particularly strong. What was truly linked to epochs was the world and the succession of species inhabiting it.
Each epoch’s occurrence always brought about alterations in the world and the extinction of numerous species.
In the fey world that Lin Yuan had arrived at, there was one similarity to his previous world: humans only appeared during the tail end of the fourth epoch.
Humans started off as a weak species. Only after they learned how to harness spirit qi and contract feys, they began moving up the food chain and established their own glittering civilization.
Lin Yuan had considered stopping Tower Canon before the Sleeper’s Revival plan began. However, Eighth Page Apoptosis mentioned that the Pulsing Fountain had already started affecting the ley lines.
Since Lin Yuan didn’t know where Tower Canon’s headquarters were, it was too late to prevent the plan from happening.
Lin Yuan felt it was not just the humans who should unite.
Although humans were the overlords of the terrestrial world, they could not claim to own the seas. The rulers of the sea were the sea clans!
The sea comprised over 60% of the main world, with the sea clans having two to three times more lifeforms than terrestrial ones. This meant they had more experts than the humans!
Although Lin Yuan had never directly contacted the Vast Sea Labyrinth, they were connected through marriage with the Heavenly Family Cottage, making them closely related.
With the Heavenly Family Cottage acting as a bridge, the Vast Sea Labyrinth would undoubtedly take action once they learned of Tower Canon’s plan, as long as their leaders were not foolish.
Having the humans’ assistance would make it easier for the sea clans to deal with the countless dead souls appearing in the sea.
At that moment, Lin Yuan was grateful for not being complacent or negligent in the past year.
Given the Radiance Federation’s previous understanding of the sea clans, they would be proposing an alliance with the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors.
This was because the humans did not know of the Vast Sea Labyrinth’s existence.
They would have no idea how to contact the Vast Sea Labyrinth even if they read about them from old records.
The human lifespan was much shorter than that of the sea clans.
The longer the lifespan, the more arrogant one would be. Thus, the powerful lifeforms of the sea always looked down on humans.
Nonetheless, they would still agree to join forces with the sea clans.
Lin Yuan’s strong conviction to join forces with the sea clans did not come from his hope that the sea clan’s experts would come up to land to help the humans. Given that they would have to face the same disaster, there was no way the sea clans’ experts would be willing to do so!
