It's a bit unfair to throw someone who's practically a "teammate" out as a weapon.

Of course, Lu Yuan's reason for feeling this way was not because he felt sorry for the person on the wall, but because the person on the wall was still somewhat useful at the moment, and the safe environment he was in was essentially created by the power of the person on the wall.

However, Oden's suggestion was also very good. In short, if it were up to Lu Yuan to choose, he would choose to believe Oden without hesitation.

Meanwhile, the taboo of the newborn being, half-human and half-tree, was driving away the insects of knowledge that were entangled around him.

Numerous plant-root-like fleshy tendrils spread wildly from its body, curling and unfolding like unfurled pages of a book, attempting to engulf the myriad insects of knowledge within its fleshy mass.

But the worm of knowledge flew incredibly fast, its colorful light flashing constantly, and managed to evade it.

Taking advantage of this "driving" force, Lu Yuan made a thought through the symbiotic connection.

As if provoked by something, the swarms of knowledge insects suddenly changed direction and swept towards the Tower of Knowledge.

A dense swarm of insects surged towards Lu Yuan from all directions, enveloping and lifting him up, carrying him away from the already crumbling Tower of Learning, all the way into the air.

Cold rain lashed against his face, and beneath his feet lay a surging sea of ​​blood and a swarm of dark insects, revealing the horrific state of the entire Bronze City.

"Holy crap, you actually flew!"

Oden, startled by the sudden leap, perked up instantly. His lingering soul flickered and leaped around Lu Yuan's leg. "This worm of knowledge can actually obey your commands? How did you sign a contract with it?... Oh, right, you seem to have authority over the Sea of ​​Knowledge."

The tone shifted abruptly, then it panicked again: "Hey, hey, hold on tight! I'm a little afraid of heights... If I fall from this height and get stuck in that bloody mess below, I'm all done for!"

Oden kept babbling on and on in Lu Yuan's mind, showing none of the demeanor of a senior.

Lu Yuan ignored it.

His mind was almost entirely focused on the enormous head in the distance.

In mid-air, the swarm of knowledge insects, as if mindless, circled around him and rushed straight toward the giant head on the wall where the person was located.

Deep within those hollow eye sockets, a consciousness that had remained calm and undisturbed for countless years suddenly felt a sense of astonishment.

Immediately afterwards, a very ominous premonition crept in.

"No way? No way? What... is this kid going to do?"

However, the next moment, the actions of the Knowledge Worm completed the sentence "No way."

The countless insects in the air twisted into a giant spoon, which steadily scooped up the enormous head of the person on the wall from below. Then, with a sudden flick, they threw it straight out and flung it towards the massive, newly born taboo.

The person on the wall was truly dumbfounded.

One second, it was perfectly fine inside the main tower of the Tower of Learning; the next second, its entire head was off the ground, spinning and flying out in mid-air.

The sound of wind, the smell of blood, and the ever-approaching forbidden pressure all rushed in at once, and only then did it belatedly realize that it had been thrown out like a ball by that kid.

"You have broken your promise!" came the constant voice from the head on the wall.

Despite the criticism, it soon had to face a reality: since it had been thrown out, it had to figure out how to block the new taboo that was coming its way.

Lu Yuan, who was being dragged into the sky by the Worm of Knowledge, simply watched the enormous head being flung away, prompted by Auden.

To be honest, he wasn't sure either. He couldn't tell whether the person on the wall was genuinely weak or faking it. If the person was truly seriously injured, dropping him would mean losing half a teammate for nothing.

The person on the wall gave the answer in the next moment.

The gray fog that was about to dissipate above the enormous head suddenly stopped, then burst forth with an extremely strong sense of oppression. Thick gray fog surged out from the head and enveloped it again.

Almost simultaneously, the Tower of Learning, now free from the protection of this layer of gray mist, collapsed under the combined pressure of flesh and blood and the sea of ​​knowledge.

"Lu Yuan, just relax." Oden's voice slowly echoed in his mind, his tone full of schadenfreude.

"You may not know who's hiding inside that head, but I vaguely remember him. That thing looked half-dead, missing limbs, but actually, its original consciousness was perfectly preserved."

"To put it bluntly, the only thing separating Him from becoming a true forbidden being is a body capable of withstanding His own power."

"In other words, the so-called 'person on the wall' within that skull is itself an almost complete taboo. If it so desires, the potential it can unleash is more than enough to contend with this being head-on, though not enough to truly challenge it or stall it."

"As for the price, well, that's none of your business. Tsk, 'the one on the sidelines,' what a fitting name."

Upon hearing Auden's words, Lu Yuan immediately understood. His previous cautious guard now seemed somewhat laughable. The person on the wall was probably just using the name "person on the wall" as a pretense to deceive outsiders.

Moreover, upon seeing this, Lu Yuan even began to ponder in his heart whether knowing the real name of the person on the wall meant he could also peel it away, even without a physical body.

It's a pity. Now that things have gone wrong, the person on the wall probably won't trust me anymore, and I don't know when I'll be able to find out His name.

Before their eyes, the head of the person on the wall had crashed into the flesh with a loud thud, and gray mist surged and billowed.

The sudden, genuine aura of taboo forced the newly formed taboo to turn its gaze away from elsewhere and return it to the head that had flown in.

The person on the wall had no room to continue pretending.

The gray mist that had been clinging to the head suddenly thickened, like maggots clinging to a bone, layer upon layer swirling around it.

Immediately afterwards, the huge skull slowly lifted off the ground and floated up from the churning flesh and blood.

Clearly, the person on the wall did not want the head they were inhabiting to sink into that flesh and blood.

The newly formed taboo, half-human and half-tree, stared directly at the head shrouded in gray mist with its ever-opening eyes.

The few eyes on its head that had previously shriveled up have now been completely restored.

The humanoid part had two eyes, and seven more were embedded in the fleshy crown on its head. Nine eyes lit up at the same time and fell on the floating head.

The filthy aura of blood and flesh erupted suddenly, and the next moment, a crown made of blood and flesh floated above the head of the person on the wall.

That is a power similar to "coronation".

Although Lu Yuan was far away and not close by, he could still clearly feel that aura.

However, this coronation is completely different from the one he received before. If it were to fall on someone else, it probably wouldn't be a good thing.

The person on the wall clearly noticed this as well, but as it resisted, a strange and unsettling aura began to emanate from the head, while the gray mist continued to swirl around it.

"See, see, I told you, what was that person hiding on the wall? Is it too late for him to wake up now?" Oden's somewhat gloating voice rang out.

"Lu Yuan, you'd better seize this opportunity. If nothing unexpected happens, this is your chance to advance further in forbidden studies!"
