Chapter 3080 Ru Yi"s Reason!
In Lin Yuan"s opinion, Ru Yi"s appropriate pride and confidence were not a bad thing.
Lin Yuan was not interested in Ru Yi"s parents" thank-you gift but he felt that he could try to work with the Carp Mystic Palace through Ru Yi.
However, even if they wanted to cooperate, it was not because Lin Yuan took the initiative to contact the Carp Mystic Palace through Ru Yi. Instead, it would be because the people in the Carp Mystic Palace knew of Lin Yuan"s existence and took the initiative to contact him.
Ru Yi"s parents were so concerned about their daughter"s health that they would definitely try to come into contact with people or factions who would help her recover. Ru Yi"s parents should know very well what kind of abilities the person or faction that could help Ru Yi remove the curse had.
"Ru Yι, there"s no need for you to be grateful. If your parents have the intention of interacting with the person who helped you break the curse, you"ll be the messenger! The distance between us is too far. I can"t meet your parents, nor can I bring them into the Astronomical Parliament."
Ru Yi hurriedly said, "Leo, just have to let me find a reason. As for the rest, I can arrange it so that the organization won"t be exposed!"
After talking to Jing Bai, Zhou Yu, and Ru Yi, Lin Yuan nodded at Wen Yu. It was time for the Astronomical Parliament to accept new members.
Wen Yu began to use the power of the stars to search for those wishes. Soon, two figures were pulled into the place where the stars gathered.
The two of them had pa.s.sed Wen Yu"s preliminaries. The moment they were pulled into the gathering place of the stars, Wen Yu, Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Su Yiren who just took her seat on the golden chair not long ago received detailed information about them.
One of them came from the West Universe and the other was actually close to the abyssal world.
The two of them joining the Astronomical Parliament allowed the Astronomical Parliament to have members all over the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
These two people were called Li Hen and Yuan Qi.
Li Hen was a very tragic character. Most of the people who joined the Astronomical Parliament were filled with tragedy. One would only use everything they had to pray when one was in despair.
A collateral member like Li Hen, who had been oppressed by the direct descendants for most of his life, had sacrificed his life for them. In the end, he could not even protect his own son.
The scars left by the punishments doled out to collateral descendants did not push Li Hen into despair.
Li Hen"s son, Li Cheng, was Li Hen"s hope. The reason why Li Hen would use everything he had to pray was very simple. That was because Li Cheng, whom Li Hen regarded as his hope, was about to become a plaything because of the willfulness of the Young Master of the family clan"s direct descendants. In the end, he would die.
This was the reason why Li Hen no longer regarded the glory of his family as his responsibility. He would not hesitate to betray his family.
Li Hen happened to be at the intersection of the four universes and Lin Yuan was very interested in the abyssal world.
The lifeforms from the four universes were enemies with the lifeforms from the abyssal world. Every time the abyssal lifeforms invaded the Sky Beyond the Clouds, there would be a disaster. To abyssal world lifeforms, the lifeforms from the four universes were also enemies.
This was because people from the four dimensions would plunder the resources in the abyssal world when they entered. At the same time, they would kill and enslave those abyssal lifeforms.
Advanced abyssal lifeforms were extremely intelligent. There were also many local factions in the abyssal world.
Entering the abyssal world was a very dangerous thing. Once one was targeted by those powerful abyssal lifeforms, their bones would be buried in the abyssal world.
However, Lin Yuan did not mind.
Firstly, it was because Sky City had high-end combat power like Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Secondly, the pa.s.sageway controlled by Li Hen"s faction was extremely low in danger. Otherwise, this family would not have relied on this abyssal world pa.s.sageway to exist and develop for millions of years!
If Lin Yuan wanted Li Hen to join the Astronomical Parliament, it was not a single choice. Lin Yuan also needed to satisfy Li Hen"s needs and save Li Cheng, who had already been chosen by the Li family"s Young Master to become a page boy.
It was not an easy task to save Li Cheng.
The clan that Li Hen was from was very powerful and had experts above the Holy Spirit Realm.
The only way to let Li Hen, a collateral descendant of the family, gain the right to speak was to let Li Hen"s value exceed the requirements of the Young Master.
The difference in status between the direct and collateral descendants of Li Hen"s faction was huge. If not for the fact that Li Hen"s bloodline was on the verge of awakening and Lin Yuan could use the Cla.s.s 5 Creator resources to awaken Li Hen"s bloodline, he would not have accepted Li Hen.
However, even if he helped Li Hen awaken his bloodline and increased Li Hen"s value in the clan, Lin Yuan still was unsure if Li Hen"s clan would cherish him.
Once Li Hen awakened the bloodline in his body, his combat strength and potential would greatly increase.
A clan cared about the status between a collateral relative and a direct descendant. In essence, it was a concern for the bloodline.
In Li Hen"s clan, it was very difficult for the direct descendants to awaken their bloodlines. Although the collateral descendants who awakened their bloodlines were still inferior to the direct descendants who were highly valued by the clan, they were still considered top figures in the clan.
As long as Li Hen tried his best, Lin Yuan felt that Li Hen would be able to protect his son from becoming the Young Master"s plaything.
After all, the bigger the clan, the more they cared about the warriors who could increase the clan"s foundation.
If Lin Yuan helped Li Hen awaken his bloodline and Li Hen still could not protect his son Li Cheng, there was nothing else that Lin Yuan could do.
It was impossible for Lin Yuan to ask Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter to go to the intersection of the four universes to save Li Cheng.
Li Hen"s value lay in his position and the clan he was in. Once Li Hen left this tribe, he would be of no use.
Yuan Qi and Li Hen had suffered the same fate. Although Yuan Qi was a direct descendant of the family and was valued by the family, after Yuan Qi"s parents died, she suffered more from the persecution of her relatives.
In Lin Yuan"s eyes, Yuan Qi"s aunt"s family was a family of vampires. The fact that Yuan Qi had been looked down upon and discriminated against by so many other prodigies had a lot to do with Yuan Qi"s aunt stealing Yuan Qi"s resources.
If Yuan Qi had not been robbed of so many resources by her aunt"s family, she would not still be unable to awaken her extremely special elemental sacred body.
Yuan Qi"s parents had not disclosed the condition of Yuan Qi"s physique to the outside world. They had been desperately searching for resources outside to prepare resources for Yuan Qi to awaken her body composition.
Yuan Qi"s aunt probably knew about this as well. Otherwise, she would not have kept hiding Yuan Qi"s talent during the family clan"s apt.i.tude test for the younger generation. She wanted to transfer everything that belonged to Yuan Qi to her own child.
However, unlike those ordinary victims, Yuan Qi"s heart was filled with ambition. This kind of ambition was not nurtured by circ.u.mstance. It was something that had been in Yuan Qi"s heart since the beginning.
An ambitious person was more likely to succeed than an unambitious person. Lin Yuan valued Yuan Qi"s ambition very much.
It was much easier to help Yuan Qi than Li Hen.
Yuan Qi was a direct descendant who had high hopes in the clan. As long as he helped Yuan Qi awaken her physique, Yuan Qi"s family lineage would definitely attach great importance to her.
Yuan Qi"s lineage was the weakest among the few lineages in the clan. It was very necessary for a prodigy like Yuan Qi to appear to change the state of her lineage.
What an ambitious person like Yuan Qi needed the most was a platform that allowed her to fully display her ambitions. Once Yuan Qi displayed her elemental sacred body, even the elemental clans she belonged to would treat her as a pillar of support and nurture her, let alone her own lineage.
The elemental species had offended the Faerie Inst.i.tution in the West Universe. The Faerie Inst.i.tution had always been suppressing the elemental species.
The elemental species was originally extremely powerful, but because of a huge battle with the Faerie Inst.i.tution hundreds of millions of years ago, the strongest expert in the species was killed by the Faerie Inst.i.tution and was trapped in a place like the Abyss of Doom where elemental energy was scarce.
If not for the fact that the elemental species had a way to make Elemental Rivers, they could also make Elemental Rivers in places where there were few elements.
The Elemental Clan"s legacy in the Abyss of the Last Days was probably about to wither completely.
Previously, Lin Yuan had only heard about the Faerie Inst.i.tution"s domineering behavior from others but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
The elemental species" experience allowed Lin Yuan to fully understand how domineering the Faerie Inst.i.tution was.
Yuan Qi"s elemental holy body was related to water. Lin Yuan only needed to provide Yuan Qi with large amounts of water elemental heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls and pure spirit qi and Yuan Qi"s elemental sacred body would naturally awaken.
Once Yuan Qi awakened her elemental sacred body, she would become the pride of the entire elemental species. The discrimination of Yuan Qi"s aunt"s family against geniuses of the same age, as well as Yuan Qi"s difficult situation in the clan, would be completely resolved.
Li Hen and Yuan Qi were both extremely surprised by the s.p.a.ce they were in.
Wen Yu had already communicated with the two of them and let them know why they were here.
When Yuan Qi heard Wen Yu"s words, she subconsciously revealed a wary expression. People like Yuan Qi, who was full of ambition, were usually very vigilant.
Li Hen asked excitedly, "Can you really save my son Little Cheng? If you can save Little Cheng, I"ll do anything!"
Li Hen"s words were very humble. But no one present, including Yuan Qi, looked down on Li Hen.
Li Hen"s actions reminded Yuan Qi of her father. Her father had risked his life to obtain resources and finally died because of this. She was also risking his life to fight for a future!
Lin Yuan looked at Li Hen and said in an extremely serious tone, "Helping you save your son was your wish when you came here. We will naturally have to do our best to help you achieve it. However, you should know very well what kind of att.i.tude your faction has towards the direct descendants.
"If I want to help you get your son back from the Young Master of the direct descendants, at the very least, I have to make your family feel that you are more valuable than the Sixth Young Master! This is the only way to help you save your son. You should know how difficult it is."
Lin Yuan"s words made Li Hen"s ecstatic expression freeze.
How could he enable his value to surpa.s.s Sixth Young Master in the eyes of the family? The Sixth Young Master was studying at Sacred Feather Academy. Among all the Young Masters of the direct descendants, he was the one who was highly valued. Meanwhile, he was just a collateral relative.
As he understood the family clan"s situation, the hope that had been ignited in Li Hen"s heart was instantly extinguished by more than half.
Lin Yuan could not help but say when he sensed the change in Li Hen"s emotions, "You don"t have to be too pessimistic. If there was no way to satisfy your wish, you wouldn"t be here. If your bloodline crosses from the pinnacle Bronze Helmet to Silver Helmet and reach Golden Helmet, how do you think your authority in the family will be?"
Lin Yuan"s understanding of the bloodline of Li Hen"s race came entirely from Li Hen"s memories. This kind of understanding was extremely one-sided. Therefore, he still had to ask Li Hen himself to determine what kind of change would happen to his status in the family after his bloodline improved.
When Li Hen heard Lin Yuan"s words, he could not help but feel incredulous. What? He could directly upgrade his bloodline from Bronze Helmet to Golden Helmet!
The hurdle of the Silver Helmet basically stopped most of the collateral members of the family clan. He had only been a member of the exploration team previously.

Once they reached Silver Helmet, they could become the captain of a small team.
Those members who had reached pinnacle Silver Helmet could already be treated as direct descendants in the clan.
If one reached Golden Helmet and received the family"s honor, their status would be comparable to a core member.
The offspring of a branch family member with a Golden Helmet bloodline could even use the clan"s resources to study in a large school.
If his bloodline reached pinnacle Silver Helmet, he might not be able to save Little Cheng from the Sixth Young Master.
However, if he reached Golden Helmet, no matter how unwilling Sixth Young Master was to let Little Cheng go, the elders in the family would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
"Lord, if my bloodline can reach Golden Helmet, Little Cheng"s safety will definitely be resolved! After ensuring Little Cheng"s safety, I"m willing to do whatever you want me to do, Even if you want me to expose the landmark of my family"s abyssal world pa.s.sageway!"
Li Hen gritted his teeth as he said this. Compared to being disheartened by his family, Li Hen actually hated his family more.
No matter how big the difference in status between the direct and collateral branches was, Li Hen could accept it in such an environment. What Li Hen could not accept was the persecution of his son by the members of the direct branch.
Li Hen was certain that he had fulfilled his duty as a collateral member of the family. For this, he had been on the brink of death many times. But what did all of this do for him?
Lin Yuan replied calmly, "This kind of gathering happens every once in a while. This gathering will solve your problem first. As for the rest, we"ll talk about it at the next gathering."
Lin Yuan turned to Yuan Qi and said with a faint smile, "The wish you made is to have shocking power and achieve true power in the clan, right?"
Yuan Qi"s ambition had been exposed by Lin Yuan so she did not feel ashamed at all.
Not only did Yuan Qi not feel ashamed, but she also admitted it very frankly, "That"s right. If I have to use everything I have to exchange for something, what I want most is power! Without power, everything will be taken away."
