Chapter 2766 Give Him a Reminder!
The Startling Lines Continent was less than outstanding before the dead spirits crisis.
In order for a continent to make a name for itself in the main world, it needed to achieve impressive results during the Major Federation Meetings.
However, the Divine Wood, Great Lush, and Iron Hammer Federations had no federation envoys in the past and had been absent from the past few decades of Major Federation Meetings. It could almost be said that they were hiding from the rest of the world.
Aside from the few neighboring continents that were aware of the Startling Lines Continent's existence, the federations located further away had never even heard of the Startling Lines Continent.
The Radiance Federation had fully overshadowed the Startling Lines Continent.
But now, the Startling Lines Continent was a glittering territory of fortune that was known by every person in the main world.
The Major Federation Union's headquarters was located in the Startling Lines Continent and all the experts of the main world who wanted to receive resources from the Radiance Federation to increase their power needed to report to the Startling Lines Continent.
The Startling Lines Continent also had a harbor. The boats that the Radiance Federation had eliminated were ready and prepared to begin trading.
The Startling Lines Continent was now a superstar in the main world.
If not for the fact that the Startling Lines Continent did not speak the lingua franca, many experts would have already flooded the Startling Lines Continent as tourists.
The Divine Wood, Great Lush, and Iron Hammer Federations' officials sent out official notices that they would begin taking in experts three years later. They would use these experts to build up their guard teams and address the safety and peace-keeping issues in the federations.
The younger generation of the Startling Lines Continent's three federations all contracted feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline.
The Sacred Wood bloodline was vestiges of Begin Lady's intermediate faerie bloodline.
With Begin Lady's current power, it could easily allow these feys to evolve to Suzerain/Creation.
The experts who joined the Divine Wood, Great Lush, and Iron Hammer Federations could also contract feys that possessed the Sacred Wood bloodline.
This was an extremely attractive point.
The Startling Lines Continent seemed to be basking in glory and was the hub of the entire world. However, its three federations were mired in contention. This was all focused on the harbor.
…
The ruler of the Divine Wood Federation, Yi Huailong, was currently in a secret room speaking to a man who resembled him but with softer eyes.
"Huailu, I am not thinking too deeply into this. Although you have joined Sky City and Lord Lin Yuan, the Divine Wood Federation is your roots! The Yi family's establishment is fully within the Startling Lines Continent! I put all my effort into developing the Divine Wood Federation into what it is today. Why can't I be troubled by the matter of the harbor?"
Yi Huailu could not help but massage his temples. He was well aware of how much effort Yi Huailong had invested into the Divine Wood Federation. He had truly devoted his heart and soul into it.
However, the matter of the harbor was much too serious. Given that the Radiance Federation had placed the eliminated boats in the harbor, it meant that Lin Yuan had not forgotten about the harbor's existence.
The harbor could not be stolen away due to its geographical location.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce the harbor was connected to the entire main world, its profits could exceed that of the entire Great Lush Federation!
The Radiance Federation was continuing to deliver the eliminated boats to the harbor. This meant that Lin Yuan had plans to expand the operation.
Yi Huailu believed that if Lin Yuan had expanded the harbor earlier, Jin Qianxun would not have dared to reach his selfish hands into the harbor!
At that moment, Yi Huailu did not know if his brother was too shortsighted or cared so much about the ownership of the harbor because he was hyper-focused on developing the Divine Wood Federation.
"Big Brother, I understand your meaning. However, you might not be aware of this, but I don't have much speaking authority around Lord Lin Yuan. I can't be considered one of Sky City's main members. Even if I was, I couldn't speak up on your behalf in this matter!"
Yi Huailu was extremely vexed when he spoke, but this was the truth. He did not have the ability to influence Lin Yuan to change his strategies.
Back when he was in the Startling Lines Continent, Yi Huailu believed that the end of the line of pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master. If one was able to become a Class 5 Creation Master, one would be able to stand on the peak and look down on the rest of the world.
But after joining Lin Yuan, he realized just how wrong he was.
Creation Masters did not receive any special treatment from Lin Yuan. Rather, those who were skilled at management stood out.
Yi Huailu was well aware of how much resources he had supplied to Lin Yuan. He had only made a marginal contribution to the resources that Lin Yuan had supplied.
Yi Huailu knew that if he told his brother about the truth, Yi Huailong might not believe him.
Nonetheless, Yi Huailu still needed to say what needed to be said.
Yi Huailong was definitely the type who would ask him to collude and scheme together.
If Yi Huailong sought him out and asked him to do such, Yi Huailu would have to draw the line between them.
Yi Huailong's heart sank when he heard that. He looked at Yi Huailu with heavy disappointment.
With Yi Huailong's perception of values, he would never have expected a Class 5 Creation Master to be unimportant.
Yi Huailong was not a Creation Master and did not know of a Creation Master's resource production abilities.
He contemplated questioning Yi Huailu about whether the family had received insufficient resources over the years because Yi Huailu had allocated them all to Lin Yuan, who then distributed them across the main world.
In a self-centered manner, Yi Huailong believed that even if Yi Huailu had aligned with Lin Yuan, he should prioritize the Yi family's interests.
As long as the Yi family maintained substantial power, Yi Huailong could enjoy a higher status among Lin Yuan's subordinates.
Observing Yi Huailong's expression, Yi Huailu discerned that his brother hadn't fully grasped his point.
Without delving further into explanations, Yi Huailu opted to reassure Yi Huailong.
"Big Brother, I can't promise that the harbor will be shared equally among the Divine Wood, Great Lush, and Iron Hammer Federations. But I can promise that the Great Lush Federation will not have sole ownership of the harbor!
"The harbor's position is extremely critical. It will be the channel through which the Startling Lines Continent trades with the other continents. Even the few harbors in the Radiance Federation can't compare to the one in the Great Lush Federation in terms of location and environment. The profits will roll in if we can get our hands on that location!
"Big Brother, because of the geographical location of the Startling Lines Continent, the Great Lush Federation will make it into the top 300 at the Major Federation Meeting. As long as the Great Lush Federation continues to develop, the Divine Wood Federation will be able to raise its ranking as well!
"The Divine Wood, Great Lush, and Iron Hammer Federations are all at the forefront of change. There are countless federations who are eyeing the Divine Wood Federation's position. At such a time, laying low and being restrained will be the best course of governance for you! If you charge ahead in everything, others will misunderstand you as having unsavory intentions!
"Luo Lan is much closer to Lord Lin Yuan than I am. If you can, try to communicate more with her to follow in her lead. I came back this time to give you some Creation Master resources that you can use to nurture the family.
"Big Brother, I will never forget who I am, regardless of where I am. I will also never forget to give resources to the family!"
Yi Huailu spoke with utmost seriousness and expressed his stance to Yi Huailong.
Given Yi Huailu's character, he would not be bothered to provide an explanation to anyone else. However, Yi Huailong was his brother. If Yi Huailong still did not understand him after this explanation, he would explain himself again!
Yi Huailu knew that Lin Yuan's goal was not in the main world and that he intended to take a group of people with him to a higher-level world.
Before he witnessed the fusing of the dimensional worlds with the main world and the promotion of the main world, Yi Huailu would not have believed in the existence of a higher world beyond the main world. However, given the circumstances, Yi Huailu could not help but believe.
Lin Yuan still had yet to come to see him. Moreover, it was true that he was not important to Sky City. Hence, it was more likely than not that Lin Yuan would keep him in the main world.
At that time, he might not be able to overly support the Divine Wood Federation but could still strengthen its development and grow its power.
It was true that Yi Huailong had not accepted Yi Huailu's words. However, Yi Huailu was there to provide resources to the family. As displeased as he was, he did not bring up the Divine Wood Federation again.
Yi Huailong was still concerned about the harbor, but he believed that he needed to contact Luo Lan.
There was no way that Luo Lan would want Jin Qianxun to occupy the harbor on his own!
…
Yi Huailong did not know that Luo Lan had not thought about this that deeply.
Luo Lan had always been open about the harbor's ownership issues. She believed that it was not an issue that needed to be overly analyzed.
While Lin Yuan was preparing the Startling Lines Continent's defenses, he had invested almost 1/3 of the resources into the harbor. This was a clear indication of the harbor's importance to Lin Yuan.
Since then, Luo Lan knew that Jin Qianxun would never be able to retain full control over it.
Luo Lan had reported the matter to Wen Yu because she believed she needed to report her circumstances as a member of the Astronomical Parliament.
Luo Lan, Jin Qianxun, and Yi Huailong had collaborated for numerous years, and her favorable opinion of Jin Qianxun exceeded that of Yi Huailong. She opposed the idea of Jin Qianxun being replaced as the leader of the Great Lush Federation due to reckless scheming.
But once ambition had bred in a person, it could not be dissolved easily.
Luo Lan could not give Jin Qianxun advice when it came to this matter. If she did, it would be seen as her trying to stir trouble.
Some time had passed since she had reported her information to Wen Yu.
Lin Yuan had only just gained some time to rest. Wen Yu would definitely relay the situation to Lin Yuan so he could make the decisions and come up with the plan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe aides in Luo Lan's court had been worried about the ownership issue of the harbor and brought up the issue with Luo Lan.
When Luo Lan saw that her aides were still troubled over this matter, she said, "All you need to do is focus on developing the Iron Hammer Federation. You don't need to think about anything else, so don't waste your time thinking about this! Otherwise, your thoughts will be led astray!
"The harbor will either end up being shared by the Startling Lines Continent's three federations or it won't. With how far the Iron Hammer Federation is from the harbor, how can we even attempt to interfere?"
Luo Lan was silent for a moment before she continued. "Help me pack my things. I will make a rush journey to the Dark Continent. I will be staying there for some time.
"You must send me daily reports on the federation's internal affairs using that magical paper I gave you. I will give my authorization for any plans through the paper."
Luo Lan's aides were shocked when they heard that. She was actually going to leave the Iron Hammer Federation at such a time?
The Startling Lines Continent was currently riding a wave of prosperity, and countless federations wanted to strike up deals with the Iron Hammer Federation.
The aides believed Luo Lan should focus on the Iron Hammer Federation's development.
Luckily, even if Luo Lan left the Iron Hammer Federation, they could communicate with her through the magical paper and inform her of any developments in the federation.
Luo Lan had thought deeply before she decided to leave for the Dark Continent to help Su Yiren.
Luo Lan had already organized all of the development issues in the Iron Hammer Federation. She had sought Wen Yu's opinion on many matters. The Iron Hammer Federation was operating well and on the right path.
Even if Luo Lan remained in the Iron Hammer Federation, she would only need to call the shots and make decisions.
Su Yiren had decided to return to the Dark Continent after the dead spirits crisis came to an end.
Aside from the Dark Continent, Su Yiren also needed to manage the people in the Sand Island Continent. Millions of people were seeking shelter in the Sand Island Continent, and there was endless work to be done!
This was the time that Su Yiren most needed her.
Luo Lan was well aware of all the help that Su Yiren had given her in the past. It was now time for her to repay Su Yiren!
When a ruler left their federation, they were most afraid of losing their power within their federation.
This was what had happened to Luo Lan's father.
However, this would never happen to Luo Lan.
Firstly, Lin Yuan had Lin Yuan's Eternal weapon by her side.
Additionally, even if the Eternal weapon could not handle those who tried to overthrow her, Lin Yuan, who had been capable of putting an end to the dead spirits crisis, would definitely have the ability to regain power on her behalf!
All those concerned about the harbor ownership were unaware of who truly controlled the Startling Lines Continent. Without knowing this, mulling over the matter would only lead to erroneous and harmful conclusions.
Luo Lan could not tell Jin Qianxun about this upfront, but she could use another method to advise him.
Luo Lan looked up at one of her aides and patted her shoulder.
"Fei Xing, I remember that a year before the dead spirits crisis began, your sister married into the Jin family in order to form an alliance between the Iron Hammer Federation and Great Lush Federation. How is your sister doing in the Jin family?"
Fei Xing hurriedly answered, "My sister is living very comfortably in the Jin family. She attends every important gathering in the Jin family and even helps with the management at times. She does have some sway in the family!"
Luo Lan smiled faintly. "Are you still in contact with your sister? Go and tell her to pay respects to Jin Qianxun and give him some spiritual ingredients as well as a fey! Remember to remind her not to speak too much about other matters."
