2440 The Solved Riddle! The Moon Empress’ issue had to be resolved, or she would not have received the Earth Center Fine Milk from the Spacetime Elder, which could prolong her lifespan. Similarly, the Spacetime Elder’s lifespan issue had been resolved to ensure the stability of the Radiance Federation’s foundation. As a result, the atmosphere at the imperial meeting was far from tense. Tian Feng grinned, feeling fortunate. He looked at the Bamboo Monarch and remarked, “The atmosphere this year is quite pleasant. The feys and spiritual ingredients from various regions have met our expectations.” The Bamboo Monarch scoffed and disregarded Tian Feng. For the past year, the Bamboo Monarch had refused to communicate with Tian Feng and had shown no signs of friendliness. Tian Feng had expressed his desire to eliminate Wang Fuxiang for the sake of the Radiance Federation, and the Bamboo Monarch still held a grudge over it. However, Tian Feng didn’t mind the Bamboo Monarch’s behavior. They had been good friends even before the Bamboo Monarch met Wang Fuxiang. Tian Feng was closer to the Bamboo Monarch than Cicada Song and Iron Prison. The Bamboo Monarch seldom rejected Tian Feng’s requests for Class 5 Creation Master resources. Tian Feng had conveyed his stance to the Bamboo Monarch, believing that the Bamboo Monarch’s attitude toward him would eventually change. Cicada Song interrupted, saying, “I will dispatch people to deliver food rations and strategic resources to the mansion for storage. The Freedom Federation has become significantly quieter. However, we must remain cautious as they might be planning something bigger.” Chef Supreme shook his head and responded, “We need not worry about the Freedom Federation. Our focus should be on developing the Radiance Federation. If any issues arise in the Freedom Federation, we will adapt and address them accordingly. Five of the mirror cities in the abyssal world are nearly complete, contributing 25% of the GDP of the main world’s cities. This is just the beginning. It seems we made the right decision!” While Chef Supreme and Cicada Song were chatting about the development of the mirror cities in the abyssal world, Iron Prison said, “Moon Empress, thank you for the resources you provided me with. They have allowed my power to reach another level. If you have any requests for me in the future, don’t hesitate to let me know!” Iron Prison owed a major favor to the Moon Empress, but as he wasn’t a Creation Master, he couldn’t repay her with resources. Nonetheless, Iron Prison was determined to show his gratitude in other ways. Despite his stoic appearance, he never forgot to repay those who had helped him. However, the Moon Empress shook her head and dismissed any obligations. “I don’t have any requests for you. I helped you because it benefited the Radiance Federation as a whole. You don’t need to feel burdened by this,” she assured him. Night Leaning Moon couldn’t help but smile upon hearing the Moon Empress’s words. She was relieved that the tensions between the Moon Empress and Iron Prison had subsided. She understood that Iron Prison’s willingness to share his lifespan with the Moon Empress had brought about this change. His selflessness had allowed the Moon Empress to see him in a new light and understand his actions better. Iron Prison furrowed his brow in response to the Moon Empress’ comment, feeling underestimated. “I made a promise to repay you, and I intend to keep it. Don’t think I won’t be able to afford the price,” he retorted. Cicada Song couldn’t help but feel amused by Iron Prison’s response. The Moon Empress and Iron Prison had just started to reconcile, yet Iron Prison was already creating new tensions. They had finally managed to convene an imperial meeting, and it was important to maintain a positive atmosphere. Observing that the royal members had been engaged in discussion for some time, the Moon Empress decided it was time to bring up the purpose of the imperial meeting. She glanced at the Spacetime Elder, who held the main seat, signaling that she had something to address. The Spacetime Elder had formed a contract with the Lifespan Mouse that Lin Yuan had given. Although the Moon Empress had not said everything explicitly, there were some things that the Spacetime Elder could guess for himself. Others might not be aware of how capable the Moon Empress was, but the Spacetime Elder was well aware. There was no way that the Moon Empress was the one who had nurtured the Lifespan Mouse. If she was this capable, she would not have been in a rush to break through her bloodline and put her life at risk to extend her lifespan. After some deductions, the Spacetime Elder found that the root of all of the positive changes that had taken place in the Radiance Federation could be attributed to the Moon Empress’ disciple. Even the Goddess of Mercy’s alliance with the Radiance Federation was related to the Moon Empress’ disciple. Everyone in the Radiance Federation knew that the Moon Empress was now a Class 6 Creation Master. But was she really capable of concocting such pure elemental energy? The elemental energy he had obtained from the Moon Empress had increased his main fey’s power significantly. If the Moon Empress was capable of concocting such pure spirit qi, she should have been able to set her spirit fire alight long ago! It seemed that the Moon Empress was going to solve the riddle today. “Moon Empress, speak candidly. The resources that you gave have greatly benefited every person sitting here. There are also many things that I need you to explain.” The Spacetime Elder’s words caused all the members of royalty to turn their attention to the Moon Empress. The Moon Empress gently tapped the table and went on to utter words that caused the jaw of every person present to drop. “Presently, the Freedom Federation is being restrained by the marsh world and is no longer a threat. My disciple Lin Yuan intends on venturing into the abyssal world and taking control of it. All of the Creation Master resources that you’ve used came from my disciple. He also instructed me to provide you with even more resources.” The Moon Empress did not say anything else after this. Instead, she gave the other members of royalty space to react. Even Night Leaning Moon, who understood the Moon Empress best, was shocked by what she had just said. But when the image of Lin Yuan floated to the front of her mind, Night Leaning Moon felt that what the Moon Empress had just revealed could be true. This would explain why the Heavenly Family Cottage was so close to Lin Yuan and was even willing to ally with the Radiance Federation because of him. Not even the Spacetime Elder had such influence! There was no way that the Heavenly Family Cottage, a faction that never liked interacting with human factions, would easily make such an outrageous decision. Night Leaning Moon had noticed some time ago that Lin Yuan was far from ordinary. However, she had not expected him to be this remarkable. But once she accepted this fact, she realized that many things that she had not understood in the past could suddenly be explained.
