Chapter 2502 - 2502 Swapping of Status!
2502 Swapping of Status!
A discrete expression of honor appeared on the s.p.a.cetime Elder’s face.
The s.p.a.cetime Elder had long acknowledged that Lin Yuan had immense potential.
Regardless of what Lin Yuan did, the s.p.a.cetime Elder would think of it as normal.
Once everyone regained their senses, the Moon Empress went on to say, “Little Yuan’s actions represent the att.i.tude we should adopt toward the Freedom Federation. Everything the Freedom Federation has done against the Radiance Federation adds to our blood feud. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth has always been the Radiance Federation’s principle.
“We will never hesitate to help our friends, but if we continue treating our enemies and those who wish to harm us with kindness, we will be no different from saints. However, I believe we should a.s.sist the Freedom Federation with its crisis, even if we don’t decide to form an alliance with them. They will have to repay us for our generosity.
“Tian Feng, Cultivated Garden has invested significant resources over the past year in building the mirror cities in the abyssal world. The Freedom Federation will have to make a gesture, whether it’s in grat.i.tude for helping them or to persuade us to form an alliance. We should ask them to replenish all the resources we spent on constructing the mirror cities.”
The rest of the members of royalty were shocked when they heard the Moon Empress say that she wanted to help the Freedom Federation with their crisis. Even Night Leaning Moon did not understand the Moon Empress’ intention.
But soon, they realized what she was thinking.
Although the rest of them did not manage Cultivated Garden, they knew how much Cultivated Garden had invested to build the mirror cities in the abyssal world.
The Radiance Federation would go bankrupt if it had to expend such an immense amount of resources again. The value of these resources could no longer be measured against actual funds.
The Moon Empress was definitely asking for a lot. Not even robbers would dare to take so much from a single operation.
It would only be beneficial if the Radiance Federation could obtain the resources from the Freedom Federation.
Now that there was a guarantee that the abyssal world would be safe, the mirror cities could be completed within half a year. This was much shorter than the original ten-year timeline. The Radiance Federation now had an additional ten years to break ground in the abyssal world.
Tian Feng did a calculation of the current stock of resources before he asked the Moon Empress hesitantly, “The Mirror G.o.d and G.o.d of Fools from the Freedom Federation are very intelligent. They are no fools. Even if they have really become fools, they would never give the Radiance Federation so many resources, right?”
The Moon Empress gently rapped her finger on the table.
“The Freedom Federation will be the ones handing over the resources. If they can afford it, they will do so. If the Mirror G.o.d and G.o.d of Fools had any other alternatives, they would never have requested alliances from the Azure Federation and Radiance Federation at the same time. Since we are their last resort, they will have no choice but to agree, regardless of how much we demand from them!
“Before that happens, I will ask Little Yuan to exert a little more pressure on them so they will not hesitate before making their decision. However, this is just the beginning. When a lion kills a zebra, it won’t kill it immediately unless it’s starving. Instead, it will bite a large hold in the zebra’s body and let it bleed out before digging into its feast. The Freedom Federation has enjoyed being the lion for so many years. It’s time for them to know what being a zebra is like.”
Tian Feng knocked on the table and said, “I can’t help much in the progression of this situation. But I specialize in organizing resources. Before the day after tomorrow, I will come up with a list of all the resources that the Radiance Federation has invested into building the mirror cities and hand it to you.”
With this, the imperial meeting meant to discuss the Freedom Federation’s request for aid and the formation of an alliance ended with the Moon Empress’ decision.
After the Moon Empress returned to the Radiant Moon Palace, she looked through the messages she had sent to Lin Yuan and saw that he had not replied.
Although she was worried, she did not say much because she knew he had more than one expert by his side who was much stronger than her.
There was a high possibility that she could not handle the dangers Lin Yuan faced while conquering the dimensional worlds.
Since she could not help him, it would be better for her to bury her worries to prevent herself from adding to the pressure he felt while training.
The Moon Empress told Lin Yuan about everything that had happened during the imperial meetings.
Although Lin Yuan was not a member of royalty, he had the right to know about these because he possessed the Continent Vein Core.
The Moon Empress knew that he would reply to her immediately after he saw her messages.
The Moon Empress received the list that Tian Feng had prepared a day later. It listed every resource that had been invested into the building of the mirror cities in great detail.
The Moon Empress looked over the list before she handed it to the s.p.a.cetime Elder so he could send people to negotiate with the Freedom Federation’s envoy team.
But eventually, unlike what the Moon Empress expected, the s.p.a.cetime Elder decided to give her the chance to head the negotiations instead. He wanted to give her the opportunity to send her people to communicate with the Freedom Federation’s people.
While the Moon Empress and the s.p.a.cetime Elder were speaking, Cicada Song knocked on the door of the room.
After knocking three times and not hearing the s.p.a.cetime Elder’s voice turning him away, Cicada Song walked in and placed a file in front of the s.p.a.cetime Elder.
“This is the news that came from the Azure Federation. They have also received a request from the Freedom Federation to form an alliance. The Azure Federation wants to know what our intention is so they can make their decision accordingly.”
The letter from the Azure Federation was both expected and unexpected by Cicada Song.
The Radiance Federation had helped the Azure Federation to solve a major problem. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had saved the Azure Federation.
As a result, a deep friends.h.i.+p had been formed between the Azure Federation and Radiance Federation. Both federations now stood on the same side.
The Azure Federation’s inner circle could decide on the alliance with the Freedom Federation on its own. By seeking the Radiance Federation’s decision and waiting to make theirs accordingly, it meant that they wanted to have the same stance as the Radiance Federation.
The Azure Federation’s decision to make the same decision as the Radiance Federation meant that the Radiance Federation now had additional means of exerting pressure on the Freedom Federation. This would only be good news for the Radiance Federation.
The s.p.a.cetime Elder placed this piece of information in front of the Moon Empress.
“Moon Empress, take a look at this information. You don’t have to hold another imperial meeting after looking through it. You can respond to the Azure Federation however you think is best. I am getting old. It’s better if the future of the Radiance Federation rests on you young ones.”
