But the construction of the Shelter Tower had too many things to do, and the consumption was too great. Moreover, at that time, they had to do everything blindfolded, everything had to be done step by step. Even a Saint Alchemist couldn't directly give them the entire Shelter Tower's design.
For all kinds of reasons, Noscent's mana had already started drying up before the Shelter Tower was completely built, and the construction of the Shelter Tower had no choice but to stop.
But even the incomplete Shelter Tower sheltered Noscent for a few dozen millennia, forcibly delaying Noscent's destruction for a few dozen millennia until Noscent's mana was thoroughly exhausted and no green plants could be seen for a very long time.
The Shelter Tower's radiance thoroughly dissipated, and Noscent was destroyed.
If there had been a complete Shelter Tower, wouldn't Noscent's apocalypse have never happened? Wouldn't the exhaustion of mana have never happened?
If they started building the Shelter Tower now, would it be built when Noscent was at its most complete state? Then, wouldn't Noscent's mana be exhausted and wouldn't it decline?
Lin Yun frowned as he pondered. The knowledge and wisdom he had now inherited almost all came from those terrifying mages at the peak of Noscent.
Then, why did those mages ultimately choose to build the Shelter Tower? It wasn't like there weren't any mages with Natural Demiplanes at the peak of the magic era, so why did they value the Shelter Tower so much?
Lin Yun massaged his forehead and made up his mind to start building the Shelter Tower ahead of time. After all, with his current strength, even if he couldn't reach the Transcendent realm, living until Noscent's mana started drying up would be an easy matter.
And at that time, a mage of his strength would inevitably be the first to be affected. In other words, he would die the fastest.
It was impossible for anyone to remain indifferent in the face of impending death. It would be better to make a few more preparations …
Especially now that he found one of the core components of the Shelter Tower, the only clue to the Reedpush Plate, he couldn't give up.
He had to go to the Odin Kingdom to look for the Reedpush Plate. With that, the difficulty of building the Shelter Tower would be greatly reduced.
Even if he only had a rough idea of how to build it and no blueprints at all, he had to start.
Lin Yun returned to the edge of the fog fault with a heavy heart, and Labard appeared in a silver light with a grin.
"Hey, Sir Mafa, are you going back? I heard that you're now the Patriarch of the Merlin Family. Remember to leave a magic imprint here as a coordinate. Otherwise, you'll have to pass through the severed fog the next time you come in. When you go out, you just have to sense the coordinates of the Merlin Family at the edge of the severed fog, and you'll be able to open the Spatial Door to go back. "
Lin Yun nodded with a smile. He opened his mouth and spat out a rune, leaving an imprint on the mage tower at the edge before disappearing into the severed fog again.
By the time Lin Yun entered the severed dense fog, Labard suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Eh, damnit, I forgot that Sir Mafa isn't a Heaven Rank powerhouse, he simply doesn't have the power to open a Spatial Door with the coordinates. Every time he goes in and out of the Ancestral Land, he has to pass through the severed fog …"
But Lin Yun had already entered the severed fog, and Labard couldn't chase after him. Who knew where he had already been transferred by the chaotic space within the severed fog?
As for Lin Yun, he followed Labard's instructions and sensed an imprint on the periphery of the Ancestral Land. That imprint was like a lighthouse on the other side of the severed fog, guiding him in the right direction and coordinates.
When Lin Yun sensed those coordinates, he took a step forward as if he was taking a stroll. In an instant, he passed through the moving space, and that chaotic space didn't seem to have any effect on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's body simply didn't move along with the chaotic space. Lin Yun sensed the coordinates of the lighthouse and directly passed through it.
After ten minutes, Lin Yun walked out of the severed fog, and the surrounding space also returned to normal. Only the dense fog covered in runes was still shrouding him.
He walked out of the dense fog as if he was taking a stroll, and after a few minutes, he appeared at the entrance of the Ancestral Land's fog canyon.
When Lin Yun walked out of the dense fog, the dense fog covered in runes didn't seem to have any reaction, as if no one had come out.
Lin Yun turned around and glanced at the Dense Fog Canyon, a wisp of indescribable aura slowly dissipating from his body. It was as if Lin Yun had truly appeared in this world. A faint aura of life and mind fluctuations slowly appeared, but there was no aura of mana. No matter how one looked at it, he looked like an ordinary person.
Lin Yun had a calm expression as he slowly walked towards the Merlin Family from the fog canyon.
On the other side, in a pitch-black secret room of the Charlotte Family, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family was sitting there with a gloomy expression. Opposite him was a Devil's face emitting thick evil aura and a bloody aura. On the side was a strange Beastman covered in black smoke, with half of its body turned into a skeleton.
"Sir Duncan, this is the last chance. I just received news that Mafa Merlin has already come out of the Ancestral Land. Once he returns to the Merlin Family, he will officially take over the position of Patriarch.
"Once he controls the entire Merlin Family, with that damned Mafa Merlin's personality, he will definitely crazily suppress our Charlotte Family. He might even look for an opportunity to get rid of many of our Charlotte Family's people.
"As for the Ancestral Land, they simply don't have the power to intervene in this struggle.
"Similarly, Sir Duncan, once Mafa Merlin becomes the Patriarch of the Merlin Family, the power he can mobilize won't be comparable to the current one. You won't have the opportunity to take revenge on Mafa Merlin!"
The black smoke surged and revealed the sinister face of the Greater Devil. The incarnation of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice's Greater Devil was gnashing his teeth, his eyes emitting a scarlet radiance.
"I have to get rid of Mafa Merlin. I was tricked by that damned guy last time. He simply doesn't grasp that kind of terrifying power, he is only an Archmage, how could he grasp that kind of power?
"He hasn't advanced to the Heaven Rank yet, but he will soon. Once he advances, he will definitely grasp that kind of terrifying power. At that time, I'll be screwed, and not just me, all of you will be screwed."
Duncan, who was half a skeleton with flames burning in his eyes and emitting a thick aura of abyssal power, was also gnashing his teeth.
"If not for that repulsive Mafa Merlin, I wouldn't have ended up like this. I would have definitely advanced to the Heaven Rank and not ended up like this. I crawled back from the Abyss and chased him to this world with the sole purpose of revenge!
"I have to thank that damned Mafa Merlin for being able to advance to the Heaven Rank. I want his soul to howl in the Abyss every night."
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family sneered.
"The Merlin Family definitely didn't expect us to suddenly make a move at this time. Even if that Mafa Merlin can display the power of the Heaven Rank, we can definitely get rid of that damned guy before the Merlin Family's reinforcements arrive!"
Soon, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family took the Thousand Souls Sacrifice and Duncan, who had crawled back from the Abyss, and left the Charlotte Family.
The Charlotte Family's spies had already informed them of Lin Yun's whereabouts.
In the area between the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land and the Merlin Family, Lin Yun, who had been walking alone, suddenly stopped.
In front of him, Duncan, who was half skeleton and half covered in black smoke, appeared.
"Mafa Merlin, you damned guy, you made my millennia of hard work go to waste and turned me into this monster. But I still have to thank you, thank you for throwing me into that filthy Abyss.
"If not for that place, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the Heaven Rank and wouldn't have been able to obtain such formidable power. Today, I'll make you howl in grief under my power, I'll make your soul weep in the depths of the Abyss!"
Duncan's entire body was emitting sinister black smoke as he released the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse without holding back. He was like a Demon walking out of the Abyss, filled with sinister Abyssal power.
Pitch-black runes curled up around Duncan's body before rapidly converging together to form a pitch-black heart in Duncan's hand. Every time the heart beat, a large amount of black smoke would be released, and Duncan's mana would rapidly rise as the heart beat.
Lin Yun was a bit surprised when he saw Duncan blocking his path. Lin Yun had already forgotten about this guy. At that time, he had been a bit unable to bear the fact that he had stayed next to Constance's heart for a millennium in order to advance to the Heaven Rank.
Later, he chased after Lin Yun, but Lin Yun took the risk to open an Abyssal Gate and banished him to an unknown layer of the Abyss. He hadn't expected that not only would he advance to the Heaven Rank, but he would also chase him all the way to Noscent.
Lin Yun didn't have time to say anything before an even more sinister aura spread from behind. That sinister aura also carried a thick bloody aura.
The black smoke converged into a distorted Hell Devil's head that kept roaring at Lin Yun. The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family walked out, and next to him was a Devil's head made of black smoke. Its eyes flickered with a scarlet radiance, and it looked as if one's soul would be bewitched by that radiance.
"Mafa Merlin, you didn't expect it, did you? You didn't expect us to block you at this time. You were too careless, your whereabouts had already been reported to me by the spy I placed in your Merlin Family.
"Unfortunately, if that old geezer Ofran was here, I wouldn't have been so sure of getting rid of you. But now, I already borrowed the power of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice and can display the power of the Heaven Rank. Moreover, Sir Duncan is already at the peak of the 1st Rank of the Heaven realm.
"Who can save you now? Mafa Merlin, you already have nowhere to run. If I don't kill you, we won't be able to live peacefully once you inherit the position of Patriarch of the Merlin Family. You have to die."
The Greater Devil transformed into the Incarnation of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice and grinned at Lin Yun while viciously cursing.
"Mafa Merlin, you have to die. If you don't die, I can already foresee that I'll definitely die by your hands in the future. That kind of power isn't something you should be able to grasp. Damned b * stard, you have to die, and your soul must fall to Hell.
"Now, there are two Heaven Rank powerhouses, and my true body has also descended here. Three Heaven Rank powerhouses, and you haven't advanced to the Archmage realm yet. No matter how powerful you are, our Extraordinary Power can suppress you to death.
Cry, wail, despair, and pain of the soul is the most intoxicating, hahaha … "
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family and Duncan surrounded Lin Yun, and the surroundings were already covered in black smoke. There was no need to think about it, this was definitely a trap they had set up ahead of time. In order to prevent him from discovering them, there were no mana fluctuations before he entered the trap.
Lin Yun didn't say anything. He looked at Duncan with a bit of astonishment, before looking at the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family.
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family sneered as he looked at Lin Yun.
'Damned guy, you must be scared silly this time. It is said that his fighting power is at the Heaven Rank, but unfortunately, the strongest aspect of the Heaven Rank is Extraordinary Power. The suppression of three Extraordinary powerhouses can absolutely make anyone under the Heaven Rank unable to display their strength. No matter how powerful he is, it would be meaningless here.
'Stupid guy, you dare to set yourself against our Charlotte Family? If you become the Patriarch of the Merlin Family, wouldn't our Charlotte Family suffer continuous suppression?
'Recently, the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower have been colluding with the Merlin Family. Even a few of the collaborations between the Watson Family and our Charlotte Family have turned into collaborations with the Merlin Family. It's all because that damned Mafa Merlin returned and the news of him taking over as the Patriarch was leaked.
'Those guys are like sharks smelling blood and surrounded the Merlin Family. For the sake of benefits, those damned guys truly have no bottom line.
'But today, I'll let them see Mafa Merlin's frightened head hanging on the city gates.'
The three of them surrounded Lin Yun and unscrupulously blossomed with Extraordinary Power, pressuring Lin Yun. They then cautiously cut off all of Lin Yun 'escape routes. They clearly planned to get rid of Lin Yun today.
Anderfa, who was floating next to Lin Yun, smiled. One of the faces glanced at Duncan.
"You want to throw Merlin's soul into the depths of the Abyss, right?"
Then, he turned to look at the Greater Devil.
"You want to drag Merlin's soul into Hell?"
"Alright, since when would a guy with Abyssal power stronger than Abyssal Demons cooperate with a Greater Devil of Hell?
"Why don't the two of you discuss whether you want to throw Merlin's soul into the Abyss or drag him into Hell?"
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family sneered.
"Mafa Merlin, you and that damned Magic Tool Incarnation of yours will both die. No matter what you say, it's useless. We have made thorough plans this time."
Lin Yun revealed a faint smile.
"Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, have you chosen your successor?"
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family froze for a moment before sneering.
"Mafa Merlin, you don't need to stall for time. Our people have already sealed this place. The Merlin Family's reinforcements won't arrive for at least half an hour."
Lin Yun sighed.
"Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, I'm only reminding you out of goodwill. I'll do a good deed today and help your Charlotte Family.
"I'll help your Charlotte Family avoid being exterminated and avoid that Greater Devil sacrificing your Family's bloodline to restore his own power.
"Naturally, I can also help your Charlotte Family find a more sensible Patriarch."
