Chapter 2945 Jing Bai’s Redemption!
Bei Xu, Su Yiren, and Luo Lan were looking curiously at the figure who had been pulled into the Astronomical Parliament. Back when the three of them were drawn into the Astronomical Parliament, it was the same scenario.
Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie were prying into the memories of this young man called Jing Bai. They did not expect the two branches of the Illusion Snakes to have such a serious oppressive relationship with each other.
The Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes treated the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes as servants that could be slaughtered at will. The life and death of the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes did not matter to them at all.
Jing Bai was not only oppressed by the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes but he was also discriminated against by the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes.
However, the discrimination of his own species did not change Jing Bai's beliefs or cause them to become distorted. On the contrary, he became even more determined to lead the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes away from the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes.
Jing Bai believed that members of his own species discriminated against him because they were oppressed by the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes. If not for their oppression causing his brother to betray his parents and die tragically, he would not have had to endure the strange gazes from members of his own species.
In order to change the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes' current situation, Jing Bai was prepared to use everything in exchange.
After Lin Yuan contracted the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake, it could be said that all snake-species feys were prey to him.
As branches of the Illusion Snakes, both the Crystal Rock and Purifying Water Illusion Snakes were extremely powerful. If the Brahma Flower Jade Blood Snake could control them, it would greatly increase the strength of its subordinates.
Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie looked at each other. They all felt that Jing Bai was qualified to be a member of the Astronomical Parliament.
Admitting new members to the Astronomical Parliament was a decision made jointly by Wen Yu, Lin Yuan, and Liu Jie.
Previously, when Yin Lin was sitting on the golden throne, her opinion was also sought regarding the admission of new members. However, ever since Yin Lin was elected, no new members had joined the Astronomical Parliament.
Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie had a common understanding. No matter what, the Astronomical Parliament would not accept evil individuals.
Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie had already seen Jing Bai's resume. It could be said that Jing Bai possessed quite a good quality.
Since the last time Jing Bai received guidance, he would always have that dream about the constellations when he slept. Now, Jing Bai received guidance from the constellations again. However, this time, he did not come back empty-handed. Instead, he appeared in this mysterious meeting.
Jing Bai was still a little stunned. He could not tell if he was dreaming or in reality.
At that moment, he saw the woman sitting on the golden throne speak. "Welcome to the Astronomical Parliament. Your wish made me notice your existence. I want to confirm with you now: are you willing to use everything you have in exchange for the chance to fulfill your dream?
"If you're willing, put your hand on the back of the chair behind you. You'll become a member of the Astronomical Parliament.
"If you're unwilling to make such an attempt, I'll send you away. You'll permanently lose your qualifications to become a member of the Astronomical Parliament!"
Wen Yu was well aware that even if she secured the Hundred Questions Beast from Lin Yuan and ensured the official convening of the Astronomical Parliament, it would still be inconvenient for her to dedicate too much energy to welcoming the members.
Before the Astronomical Parliament broke through the 12 Stars limit, Wen Yu could only allow one member to join the Astronomical Parliament at most.
Wen Yu's words made Su Yiren, Yin Lin, and Bei Xu look nostalgic. Back then, Wen Yu had also asked them similar questions. Luo Lan and Bei Xu had already been at the end of their rope. Hence, in order to survive, they had had no choice but to join the Astronomical Parliament directly.
Su Yiren had initially doubted the Astronomical Parliament. Although she had successfully joined it in the end, she had suffered a lot because of her hesitation and doubts and almost missed this opportunity to change her fate.
The young man in front of them was facing the same choice as them.
The more Jing Bai thought about it, the more he felt like he was in a dream. Everything in front of him seemed too mystical, but even if he was in a dream, Jing Bai was still willing to use this opportunity to fulfill his wish.
Thus, he did not hesitate to place his handprint on the back of the chair behind him.
When Jing Bai pressed his hand onto the chair's back, a sensation washed over him. It wasn't the feeling of sleep—rather, he sensed the celestial body's blessing, granting him a vague awareness of his surroundings in the present moment.
Jing Bai hurriedly turned around and looked around curiously, wanting to confirm if everything was just his imagination.
Upon seeing Jing Bai becoming an official member of the Astronomical Parliament and thus her companion, Su Yiren couldn't help but speak up. "The seat behind me is the Corona Australis. My name is Su Yiren. Everything you've come into contact with now is real. You'll naturally be able to tell after this meeting among the constellations ends and you leave.
"Now, I hope you can cherish this period in the meeting. This is extremely important for you to realize your wish!"
Su Yiren nodded.
Jing Bai basically had no friends in the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes. Most of the time, he faced mockery and discrimination. Hence, he was not used to Su Yiren's attitude.
Just like how Su Yiren nodded at him, he nodded back at her. "Um, my name is Jing Bai. I'm from the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes."
During their conversation, Lin Yuan could already feel his sense of belonging to the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes. If Jing Bai did not have a strong sense of belonging to his species, he would definitely not have introduced himself in such a way.
Lin Yuan knew very well that with Wen Yu's condition, she would not be able to hold on for much longer. Therefore, the duration of this Astronomical Parliament was bound to last for a relatively short period.
Lin Yuan did not intend to give Jing Bai too much time to familiarize himself with the others at the Astronomical Parliament, considering that he was already part of them now and would not lack such opportunities in the future.
Now that Jing Bai had joined the Astronomical Parliament and was still in a state of confusion, Lin Yuan felt that he needed to let him understand the situation. "Jing Bai, you're now an official member of the Astronomical Parliament. I wonder if you know in which universe your Purifying Water Illusion Snakes is currently in?"
Jing Bai hurriedly bowed to Lin Yuan. He could tell that the three people sitting on the golden thrones were the superiors there. "Lord, my species is located in the North Universe. We are only dozens of kilometers away from the Water-Covered Coast. I usually live in caves in the cliffs around the Water-Covered Coast."
Lin Yuan nodded. He had indeed investigated his life experiences. However, Jing Bai's life experience did not include the knowledge he had.
Lin Yuan had no intention of heading to the North Universe yet, so he did not know where the Water-Covered Coast was.
After some thought, Lin Yuan asked, "Have you heard of the Snow-Covered Foxes in the North Universe?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Bai revealed a fearful expression on his face. He had basically heard of any species in the North Universe, and the Snow-Covered Foxes were a powerful species.
The Water-Covered Coast wasn't too far from the area where the Snow-Covered Foxes lived, but the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes didn't have the chance to make contact with them. Instead, the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes that enslaved the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes had interacted with the Snow-Covered Foxes.
At the pinnacle of the Illusion Snakes, even if they were not on par with the Snow-Covered Foxes, they were not much inferior to them.
But now, if the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes wanted to become a dependent species of the Snow-Covered Foxes, they would most likely be unwilling to take them in. The Snow-Covered Foxes indeed liked to take fox-species feys as their dependent species, but there were precedents where they had accepted other species as well.
Jing Bai did not know why Lin Yuan suddenly mentioned the Snow-Covered Foxes, nor did he know his motive, so he did not speak rashly. He only lowered her head slightly and waited for Lin Yuan to continue.
Ever since Lin Yuan handed the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower to Kong Huan, she would communicate with him every once in a while.
Kong Huan had completely charmed the Snow-Covered Fox leader, and he was now willing to do many things for her. However, until now, Kong Huan had not revealed the news that she was pregnant with his son. She planned to wait for their relationship to deepen before making the corresponding considerations.
Right now, no one dared to provoke Kong Huan in the territory of this Snow-Covered Fox leader. Even the other Snow-Covered Foxes in the territory were the same.
Kong Huan had been informing Lin Yuan about her achievements, who in turn was very supportive of her and told her not to worry about the consumption of resources. If Kong Huan's resources were exhausted, Lin Yuan would continue to replenish them.
Lin Yuan's selfless help served as Kong Huan's greatest confidence booster.
It wouldn't be long before Kong Huan completely charmed this Snow-Covered Fox leader, and by then Kong Huan would be able to take charge!
At that time, Lin Yuan could inform Kong Huan to take care of the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes. Perhaps this method could allow them to escape the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes' oppression.
"Lord, I've naturally heard of the Snow-Covered Foxes. They are considered an extremely powerful species in the entire North Universe."
Lin Yuan replied honestly, "I can't help you much in the short term, but I can try to get a Snow-Covered Fox leader to protect your species. I will endeavor to make the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes become their dependent species. This will make it easier for you to escape the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes' oppression.
"I presume the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes wouldn't dare to meddle with the new dependent species of the Snow-Covered Fox leader, right?!"
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, an excited expression appeared on Jing Bai's face. He did not have high expectations. In his heart, as long as he could free the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes from the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes' oppression, it would be enough. He did not even ask Lin Yuan to help his species rise.
If a Snow-Covered Fox leader was willing to step forward and take the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes as their dependent species, the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes would lose the ability to suppress them. They would certainly not dare to offend a Snow-Covered Fox leader.
Having easily achieved his long-standing dream, Jing Bai was so overwhelmed with joy that he found it difficult to articulate his gratitude to Lin Yuan and was momentarily at a loss.
Jing Bai's actions left the other members of the Astronomical Parliament feeling a pang of sadness. Including Wen Yu, the other members of the Astronomical Parliament faintly saw reflections of themselves in Jing Bai.
Back then, they had lived an extremely difficult life before meeting Lin Yuan. At present, Lin Yuan started to redeem Jing Bai just like how he had redeemed them.
"Lord, thank you very much for your help to our Purifying Water Illusion Snakes. I will never forget your help!"
Lin Yuan smiled. He would need to trouble Kong Huan for this matter. At this moment, Kong Huan was alone and helpless in the North Universe and probably hoped to have one more person on her side there.
"I didn't offer much help. It's just a small favor. Remember your goal: to ascend with the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes, not to deter the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes from targeting you due to fear of the Snow-Covered Fox leader. I can supply all the resources your Purifying Water Illusion Snakes require to swiftly boost your strength."
Lin Yuan prepared to send some resources to Jing Bai so that he could enhance his strength as soon as possible. Only by improving his strength could he ensure his own safety. Lin Yuan wouldn't want to learn that Jing Bai was dead when the Astronomical Parliament convened again.
Teleporting required a significant amount of willpower and power of law. Lin Yuan still possessed ample reserves of both. With the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's awakening, he wouldn't face any shortage of willpower or power of law.
There were a certain number of dead people in the faith country every day. Whether they died in an accident or died of old age, the bodies of these dead people contained willpowers. The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen could extract these wills and laws as Lin Yuan's reserves.
Upon thinking about it, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's throbbing had become more and more frequent recently. She was most likely about to wake up.
After the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen devoured her parents' sacred totems, she had reached the level of Sacred Source 12 Stars. When she woke up, she would most likely be able to break through the limits of the Sacred Source 12 Stars and reach a brand new realm.
Jing Bai gratefully told Lin Yuan the resources he needed.
Lin Yuan asked Wen Yu to activate Star Spirit Seat and send a Diamond fey storage box containing spirit qi crystals and numerous water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls over.
Once Jing Bai left the Astronomical Parliament, he would naturally be able to see Lin Yuan's gift immediately.
