2223 True Silver Hall

After carefully considering the pros and cons, Yu Xin said to Jia Ran, “I hope you won’t go mad with boredom in a team that doesn’t do combat. Let me know if you ever need help with anything or any spiritual ingredients. Don’t hesitate to speak up! I hope you’ll be able to return to the team in another few thousand years.”

Yu Xin had given Jia Ran his sincere best wishes.

Yu Xin was never the type to pretend to be courteous. He was always straightforward about how he felt.

With Yu Xin’s temperament, he often offended his new friends. But once they got to know him over time, they would see that his character was very lovable.

Jia Ran knew what kind of person Yu Xin was. He was also grateful to Yu Xin for not blaming him after finding out the truth and for still being willing to continue being friends.

But Jia Ran also knew that, despite a few thousand years being insignificant to beings on his and Yu Xin’s level, root power was also needed to form life treasures. During this time, there was no way he could increase his power.

This was why so many experts were willing to spend resources to shorten the time needed to produce life treasures.

He would only return to his current state after another 5,000 years. But 5,000 years later, Yu Xin and the other members of the team would have already left him in the dust.

Although the captain would still be willing to accept him back into the team, Jia Ran would not want to become a burden on his team.

Jia Ran shook hands and walked despondently out of this large room.

As he watched Jia Ran leave, the calm Yu Xin felt his eyes brim with tears.

He knew that with this mistake, Jia Ran would never be able to achieve his dream of entering the Honor Absent Palace. This might be their final goodbye to each other.

Once any lifeform lost the life treasures they had painstakingly formed, they could even be chased out of their homes. This was a possibility for losing just one. But now Jia Ren had lost five.

One of Jia Ran’s life treasures was not strong on its own. But the effects would be startling when the five were used in conjunction.

Now, all of Jia Ran’s five life treasures had been lost in a Class 1 world.

Yu Xin prayed that no changes would happen to this Class 1 world as a result of this. Otherwise, they would definitely investigate the source of the five life treasures.

With the True Silver Hall around, all lies became transparent. Each of the four scholars from the True Silver Hall was capable of divination. They could use this divination to access the past or even the future.

With this thought, Yu Xin was gripped by anxiety.

…

Luo Lan had always been the steady type. But she had not been able to relax for even a single moment for the past few days.

This was partly because she was worried about Lin Yuan. After all, despite knowing how powerful he was and that there were people around him protecting him, the Snow Celestial Mountain was a celestial being.

Although Luo Lan had redirected the faith of the entire Iron Hammer Federation, she still felt some fear of the celestial being.

Additionally, Luo Lan was also looking forward to Lin Yuan’s return so he could help her smooth out all the kinks in the Iron Hammer Federation.

The past two days’ events caused the previously conflicted Luo Lan to become determined.

As she thought about the heads of the Black Gold tribes that had followed her on the journey back from the border of the Divine Wood Federation and how they were all plotting against her now, Luo Lan could not help but sigh.

When she asked the Black Gold tribes for help, she received almost simultaneous rejections from all of them.

This situation signaled to Luo Lan that the Black Gold tribes were exchanging secret correspondence.

The Black Gold tribes wanted to keep her under their thumb to expand their influence across the Iron Hammer Federation.

The Iron Hammer Federation’s longtime issue of food scarcity had been solved.

In such an environment, almost every Black Gold tribe had decided to charge ahead with their development.

It was evident that the structure of the Iron Hammer Federation was going to change.

With the changing times, anyone with the ability to back up their thirst for power would yearn to become the ruler.

This also went for the Platinum tribes, much less the Black Gold tribes, who were even better positioned.

However, the Black Gold tribes had forgotten that Lin Yuan was the one who had kicked off the changing times, while Luo Lan was just the medium that was seeing the process through.

The Black Gold tribes were not the ones who decided if this medium would continue to exist. The decision depended solely on Lin Yuan’s attitude.

The Black Gold tribes that did not understand this would end up suffering painful consequences.

Luo Lan’s thoughts had not only changed because of the Black Gold tribes’ insidious intentions but also because she found out about what was going on in the Divine Wood Federation and Great Lush Federation from Su Yiren.

Yi Huailong held absolute power in the Divine Wood Federation, and Yi Huailu had become a Class 5 Creation Master.

Although Yi Huailu had joined Lin Yuan, there was no way he would not help his family or federation.

Lin Yuan had placed Jin Qianxun on the throne through force. But with Lin Yuan’s help, Jin Qianxun had obtained the loyalties of all the Great Lush Federation’s secret aristocratic families, thereby gaining absolute power in the federation.

Lin Yuan had taken away the autonomy of the Great Lush Federation’s trading merchant groups but had given the Great Lush Federation a chance to do cross-ocean trading.

The 30 adult Island Whales would significantly raise the Great Lush Federation’s overall power.

The Startling Lines Continent was made up of the Iron Hammer Federation, Divine Wood Federation, and Great Lush Federation.

Luo Lan had no choice but to see Jin Qianxun and Yi Huailong as her potential competitors.

Given the current circumstances, Luo Lan felt that both sides were pressuring her. If this continued, she would not be able to face Lin Yuan.

Luo Lan thought, If Lin Yuan can help Jin Qianxun gain absolute power in the Great Lush Federation, he can help me too. Under my management, there’s no way the Iron Hammer Federation’s development will lose out to the Great Lush Federation.

The Great Lush Federation was advantageous in terms of its geographical location and could carry out ocean trading.

However, the Iron Hammer Federation also had mining resources that even the Great Lush Federation and Divine Wood Federation combined could not match.

Luo Lan decided to hedge these mining resources and enable the Iron Hammer Federation to thrive as soon as possible.

They could slow down later on.

While Luo Lan was lost in her ambitions and mapping out the Iron Hammer Federation’s future, the usually quiet Liu Jie spoke up.
