Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 392 - 105: The News Arthur Brought! Descendants of the Divine Bloodline? Can’t Even Compare to Yu Jin!
“Her name is Cao Fang!”
“She is…”
“The mother of Yu Jin!”
“Of course, she’s just the adoptive mother, not the biological one.”
“But according to the information she revealed, Yu Jin grew up with her, long before the ’Wasteland’ invasion…”
“To speak of it, Father, you might find it hard to imagine…”
“Yu Jin’s hometown is just the lowest Level I Civilization…”
“And since the ’Wasteland’ invaded their civilization, it hasn’t even been a full year!”
Athena deliberately heightened her tone in the last sentence.
Especially on the words ’one year,’ she emphasized heavily.
“One year?”
“Is that true?”
After a long silence, Arthur asked two questions completely unfitting for his position as the Federation’s Chief Speaker.
Yes.
Given his character and experience, such a ’thoughtless’ question should not have come from him.
Yet!
One year?
The time is so short, so short that…
Arthur could not imagine what level and strength an ordinary civilization player should have reached after one year of the ’Wasteland’ invasion.
But in any case—
It certainly would not be the strength of Yu Jin.
Based on Athena’s previous experiences with the Alpha Star server, it’s no exaggeration to say that Yu Jin’s current Unlimited Value might be not far off from his own as Chief Speaker!
“Yes, Father, you heard correctly.”
“One year, only one year!”
“In just one short year, he emerged from a Level I Civilization, experienced planetary wasteland, star system wasteland, and then landed on ’Wasteland OL’…”
“It’s unimaginable experience and incomprehensible growth.”
“But this precisely proves the strength of his Divine Bloodline!”
Athena’s voice grew even more exuberant.
Even her angelic face flushed with a hint of excitement.
The stronger Yu Jin becomes, the more outstanding his performance will be when he represents the Ophelia Federation in the Cosmic Prodigy Battle!
And all of this would eventually benefit the Ophelia Federation.
“Dear Athena…”
“You have done well in this matter.”
“Although we haven’t truly found Yu Jin yet, finding his mother means we will surely find him in the future.”
“Of course, remember to treat his mother with the utmost respect…”
“Be sure not to give Yu Jin the impression that ’you are threatening him’; that’s not our intention, child…”
Arthur’s tone was exceptionally solemn and serious.
“I understand, esteemed Father!”
Athena’s response was firm and strong.
In fact.
That is exactly what she is doing.
Currently on her way back, she has already provided Cao Fang with Athena’s highest-ranking suite.
Upon returning to the Central Star Realm, Athena even plans to use family resources to prepare a few ’habitable planets’ as a gift for Cao Fang.
“Honorable Father…”
“You seem…”
“Not very happy to hear such good news?”
Athena noticed that Arthur, in the light screen, carried a persistent hint of concern between his brows and couldn’t help but speak up.
“Sigh—”
Arthur’s response was a long sigh.
“What is it?”
Athena realized the seriousness of the issue, and her initial joy was temporarily subdued.
“My dear Athena…”
“Recently, our spies embedded in other federations have sent back some information.”
“This part of the information has not been made public, but within the Federal Council, it has already created a significant stir…”
Arthur said, taking a deep breath.
[Ding—!]
A crisp sound rang in Athena’s ear.
Then, her ’Wasteland’ game panel automatically popped up, displaying a new file from Arthur.
“What news…”
Athena felt puzzled and anxious.
Shua—
As she opened the message, a mini light screen appeared before her.
On the screen were several blurry portraits.
To the right of the portraits were descriptive texts, either long or short.
“This…”
Upon reading the text’s content, Athena’s beautiful eyes widened slightly.
Her breath also paused momentarily.
“Yes, child, you did not misread…”
“This part of the information has already been partially verified and should not be wrong…”
“With less than a year to the next Cosmic Prodigy Battle…”
“The surrounding federations have all found ’Descendants of the Divine Bloodline’.”
“This does sound incredible. When I first received the news, it was hard for me to believe, as historically speaking, Descendants of the Divine Bloodline barely appeared once in hundreds or thousands of years…”
“But now?”
“As you can see, even the Cardina Federation, with whom we have ongoing conflicts, almost to the point of feud, not only found a Descendant of the Divine Bloodline but actually found three…”
Arthur’s tone grew increasingly heavy.
In the heaviness, there was a hint of bewilderment.
Even as the Chief Speaker of the Federation, occupying the highest seat of power in the Ophelia Federation, he sometimes found himself small and ignorant in the vast universe and star river.
Like right now.
Arthur could not understand—
Why descendants of the Divine Bloodline, once a centurial rarity, now seemed to emerge like bamboo shoots after a rain…
“Respected Father…”
“What is the Council’s view on this?”
Athena’s gaze swept over the blurry portraits and the accompanying intelligence, she spoke in a deep voice.
“The Council…”
At this, Arthur couldn’t help but sigh once more.
“The Nash Clan formally announced the existence of ’Han Ling’ in the Council.”
“Compared to the elusive Yu Jin, Han Ling, a confirmed cooperative Descendant of the Divine Bloodline with the Federation, now receives more support from the Council.”
“Especially with the Nash Clan fanning the flames behind the scenes, your search for Yu Jin has spread throughout the entire Federation, and the Nash Clan has already determined that Yu Jin is aligned with our Ophelia Clan…”
“So…”
“Even though the Nash Clan still seeks to win over Yu Jin, Han Ling is already one of their camp members and is currently their focal point.”
Though Arthur is indeed the Chief Speaker.
The Ophelia Federation ultimately operates under a parliamentary system; any significant decision requires Council deliberation and voting.
In most matters, Arthur’s status as Chief Speaker and the Ophelia Clan’s parliamentary influence can sway Council decisions.
However…
When it concerns the Cosmic Prodigy Battle, relating to the Federation’s future development.
Compared to the uncertain ’Yu Jin,’ more affluent families and parliamentary forces, including some elders of the Ophelia Clan, lean towards supporting Han Ling.
“But you needn’t worry too much.”
“Today at the Federal Council meeting, their motion to fully invest resources to support Han Ling was not truly passed due to my intervention.”
Arthur’s last two sentences brought some relief to Athena’s previously heavy heart.
“So…”
Arthur took a deep breath, looking through the light screen into Athena’s eyes.
“My dear Athena…”
“There are only a few short months left before the Cosmic Prodigy Battle begins…”
“During this time, we must find Yu Jin, the real Yu Jin…”
“Otherwise…”
“Even if you and I believe in Yu Jin’s potential, the Federation’s ultimate resources will still be focused on Han Ling.”
“By the way, you should have already visited the star system wasteland server where Han Ling is located, yes?”
“How was your meeting experience with him?”
“Did you extend an olive branch on behalf of the Ophelia Clan?”
“Actually, if we could win him over from the Nash Clan, supporting Han Ling wouldn’t be—”
Arthur’s words were directly interrupted by Athena.
“No.”
“Father, you might not understand yet.”
“Han Ling, or the group of Descendants of the Divine Bloodline in the intelligence you gave me…”
“Are all no match for Yu Jin… not even a bit!”
