Chapter 1484: The Fifth Person, Bu Po
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While this figure was confused, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu used the Astronomical Parliament’s ability to check on this figure’s background and experiences.
Both of them frowned, and their faces promptly fell.
Once they saw this person’s background, they simultaneously decided that they had to keep this person in the Astronomical Parliament to become the contractor of the fifth north-south constellation seat.
Lin Yuan had helped many people since becoming a spirit qi professional. All of them had their own type of misfortune.
For example, Liu Jie had been injured because of the Insect Queen and plunged from being a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence to a regular person who could not even wield a fey.
!!
Wen Yu’s talent had been damaged after she tried to help a friend. She ended up ostracized by her friends.
Qin Lun and Qin Yu had been unable to be under sunlight because they had awakened their beast patterns.
However, this figure was much more unfortunate than Qin Lun, Qin Yu, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie.
Yet, describing this person’s experiences as unfortunate was also slightly inaccurate. They were truly tragic.
According to his memories and experiences, Lin Yuan knew that he was a young man who had awakened a Willpower Rune by accident.
From the moment he was born, his life was riddled with misfortune, and there had almost been no opportunity where he could catch a break. The person on the receiving end of all this adversity and mishap was called Bu Po.
The lives of Bu Po and his older sister, the only family left in the world, were a constant struggle.
His sister’s kidnapping and forced marriage were just the final straw for this young man.
The root of the young man’s troubles was not his misfortune but that he lived in the strange federation, the Spirit Mother Federation.
Lin Yuan was familiar with the Spirit Mother Federation.
The Startling Lines Continent was northwest of the Radiance Federation and was also the closest continent to the Radiance Federation.
However, there was also another federation that was close to the Radiance Federation called the Cold Sand Federation.
There were two large federations in the Cold Sand Federation. One of them was the Spirit Mother Federation, where Bu Po lived.
The Spirit Mother Federation and Sand Island Continent were neighbors in the Cold Sand Federation.

Both of these federations had a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master each. However, the Sand Island Federation had almost three times more Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters than the Spirit Mother Federation.
Nonetheless, both federations were equally matched because of the Spirit Mother Federation’s special system of governance.
The Spirit Mother Federation’s governance system was split into three levels, the Earth Mother, Sky Mother, and Spirit Mother.
There was only one Spirit Mother in the federation, and the Sky Mothers ruled the Earth Mothers. The Earth Mothers had absolute authority over regular people and could sentence any of them to death as long as they were not going against any laws.
Bu Po’s older sister had caught the eye of the youngest son of an Earth Mother. He could not do anything to her without breaking a rule.
But if he married Bu Po’s sister, everything he did would be considered a matter of the Earth Mother’s household.
Their strict rules were violent and unreasonable.
Even the Spirit Mother was restricted by the Spirit Mother Guards at times.
For example, the Spirit Mother could never get married. Additionally, he had to accept disciples in their prime and teach them how to become Cla.s.s 5 Creation Masters.
In the Spirit Mother Federation, Cla.s.s 5 Creation Masters were pa.s.sed down from generation to generation.
When they talked about the Spirit Mother Federation, Lin Yuan could sense that the Moon Empress did not want to talk too much about it and that she resented the Spirit Mother Federation.
At that time, he had no idea why the Moon Empress abhorred and despised the Spirit Mother Federation.
Now that Lin Yuan understood the circ.u.mstances in the Spirit Mother Federation, he shared her sentiments.
The only thing that jumped out at him about the Spirit Mother Federation in the past was that they liked to tattoo themselves. They covered themselves in tattoos from the time they were born to the day they died.
From Bu Po’s experiences, Lin Yuan had a better understanding of the Spirit Mother Federation.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard Bu Po mumble, “Am I dreaming or dead?”
Bu Po sounded worried when he mentioned death.
Lin Yuan sensed that Bu Po was afraid of his sister grieving over him.
Lin Yuan said to the confused Bu Po, “You’re not dead. Welcome to the Astronomical Parliament. Do you remember the wish you made before you fell asleep?”
Bu Po was incredulous as he stared at the two figures on the golden thrones.
It went without saying that he remembered the wish he had made before he fell asleep. His head was still full of thoughts of how he could save his sister even after he fell asleep.
Bu Po did not even have time to be shocked that G.o.ds were real before he hurriedly said, “I’m willing to do anything if you can save my older sister! Please save her!”
The moment he spoke, he fell to his knees with his eyes full of hope.
In the Spirit Mother Federation, people valued pride above anything else because pride was the equivalent of dignity. Only people with pride had the courage to stand at the top and survive.
Bu Po’s current action indicated that he had abandoned his pride.
This meant that he cared about his sister more than his pride.
With Bu Po’s plea, it meant that he had agreed to the Astronomical Parliament’s contract.
However, Lin Yuan needed to think carefully about how he could help Bu Po to save his sister.
The best way would be to turn Bu Po into an Earth Mother. However, Bu Po did not fulfill the two conditions that were necessary for one to become an Earth Mother.
As of now, Bu Po was only a D-rank spirit qi professional. Although he had accidentally comprehended a Willpower Rune, he had never contracted a fey. Hence, turning Bu Po into a king-cla.s.s expert would be impossible.
Although Lin Yuan could give a Diamond/Epic fey to Bu Po, Bu Po’s spirit qi professional rank was too low to form a contract with it.
Thus, Lin Yuan could only try the second method, which would be for him to take a gamble that Bu Po possessed Creation Master potential, just like the gamble that he was taking on Bei Xu.
If he lost the gamble on Bei Xu, the only cost would be that Bei Xu would not be able to strengthen his subordinates’ source-type lifeforms.
But if he lost the gamble on Bu Po, he would lose his sister.
Lin Yuan had never been in Bu Po’s position, but Lin Yuan could try to stand in his shoes.
