Chapter 1027: There is Always Hope Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Yuan did not expect Su Yiren’s mind to be so clear right after entering the Astronomical Parliament. She had immediately realized her circumstance and wanted to leverage on her worth to obtain the best deal for herself. But even without Su Yiren’s confirmation, Lin Yuan knew what condition she wanted instead. Lin Yuan would not partake in it, whether it was snatching back the Dark Continent from Seventh Page War or returning the Dark Federation to its former glory. If she had made those wishes from the start, Lin Yuan would not have hesitated to ask Wen Yu to kick Su Yiren despite her powers and her title as a Dark Envoy. Lin Yuan and Seventh Page War were enemies, but Lin Yuan did not have any business with the Dark Federation at all. Moreover, Lin Yuan and Seventh Page War’s enmity started because Seventh Page War had caused trouble in the Radiance Federation. It was not a matter of whether Lin Yuan had the ability to snatch the Dark Continent back from Seventh Page War. Even if he could, he would not give the Dark Continent to Su Yiren so that she could reinstate the Dark Federation. If the entire Dark Continent landed in Lin Yuan’s hands, he might as well keep it for himself. Once Su Yiren realized that she had appeared in the starry sky because of a sacred source lifeform, she immediately started to hatch a plan. Even the name she had given was fake. It was clear that she was dishonest. ‘What Lin Yuan wanted to do was to make Su Yiren admit to her reality of being someone that was about to die and was currently living like a beggar in the Divine Wood Federation. She was not a highly respected Dark Envoy anymore. Su Yiren’s face paled when she heard what Lin Yuan said. She did not expect this person wrapped in a thousand willpowers and laws to call out her real name and expose her lie. However, she was not guilty. Instead, she looked up at Lin Yuan, and the gears in her head started to turn. She tried to puzzle out if this person knew her name because he had sensed her sacred source lifeform aura. As a Dark Envoy, Su Yiren always thought of things in a grand manner. She felt that it was possible for someone to recognize her by her sacred source lifeform and willpowers. Since this person knew her name, he also had to know that she was a Dark Envoy. Su Yiren sat up straight and said, “Hehe, given that you know my name, you must know my identity. I think we can work together.” Before Lin Yuan could speak, he felt aura explode from Wen Yu as she sneered. “The Dark Federation was an impressive federation, but it still couldn’t stand against Seventh Page War and was conquered by Tower Canon. Shouldn’t a Dark Envoy like yourself be reflecting on what happened? A seemingly wooden plank splintered from the inside and was turned into wood chips by Seventh Page War. Do you even have anything to offer us?” Wen Yu’s words were like a knife that sliced apart Su Yiren’s pride and left a gaping bloody hole. Despair clouded Su Yiren’s heart, and she felt horrified. She did not understand how this woman knew about the Dark Federation’s matters so well. The Dark Federation never traded with other federations. The only time they interacted with other federations was during the Major Federation Meeting that took place once every five years. Su Yiren gnashed her teeth and spat, “Are you from the Dark Federation?” Lin Yuan shook his head and replied calmly, “You guessed wrong. Not only do we know that the Dark Federation was ruined and that the Dark Continent has a new master, but we even know of your current situation. Think carefully about why you made that wish that called you into this place in the first place. The Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting will end in a minute, and you’ll lose your chance to choose. There’s no guarantee that you’ll appear here again. You better think this through carefully. The matter of the Dark Federation lies in your own hands. Isn’t there always hope as long as you’re alive?” Su Yiren lowered her head slowly, and she seemed to be thinking. But Lin Yuan had also thought things through a considerable amount. He thought highly of her status as a Dark Envoy and her power, but he would not accept a collaboration with her. She also did not have any grounds to work together with him. Lin Yuan still had the Snow Chill resin, which could completely heal Su Yiren’s soul injury. If he paid such a high price to heal Su Yiren but only managed to score a partnership with her, it would be too much ofa loss for him. Moreover, Lin Yuan had his reason for making Su Yiren submit. After Lin Yuan used the Ethereal Jellyfish’s Space Tunnel to arrive at the Divine Wood Federation, he would not spend all his time at the Divine Wood Federation. Just like how there was the Kill Food Sky Butterfly in the marsh world, he needed someone to tend to the base in the Divine Wood Federation as well. $u Yiren was clearly the right person for the job. Lin Yuan felt that there was no intelligent reason for Su Yiren to tun down this opportunity. He turned to Wen Yu and saw that her face was already pale. The cat’s eye stone on her forehead had also lost its bright light. Lin Yuan could see Wen Yu’s anguished expression as time ticked on. He frowned and was about to call for the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting to end when Su Yiren raised her head and looked at him resolutely as she said, “I’m willing.” Su Yiren saw a green light shoot toward her and a clear male voice say, “Go to sleep at this time in a week, and you’ll return to this place.” The radiant sky lost its color at that moment, and the fourth Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting ended. ‘When Su Yiren’s willpower and soul returned to reality, she felt someone touching her. Her eyes flew open, and a high-pitched voice screamed, “Ah! A ghost!”
