2313 Chosen Candidate!
They all communicated through the Thoughts Letter Paper, shared their progress, and witnessed each other’s achievements.
Lin Yuan’s words warmed their hearts.
It was true! The Astronomical Parliament was the family that they were all part of! This was why they all looked forward to the parliamentary meetings and were happy to chat with each other through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
But at the same time, Lin Yuan’s words unblocked their minds.
Voting was both the fairest and unfairest method.
It would be largely related to how much they had improved, as well as their individual charm.
But Lin Yuan saw individual charm as another measure of a person’s capability.
Frankly, he was very curious about who would be chosen!
After Lin Yuan was done speaking, Wen Yu added, “Voting will begin with Bei Xu, who joined the Astronomical Parliament first, and end with Peace, who joined last! Bei Xu. You may cast your vote!”
Bei Xu nodded seriously.
The team he led now consisted of 2,000 members, and they had discovered a large tribe where almost 50,000 people lived.
Bei Xu’s team had set up an ambush in the stone cave next to the tribe.
There were more than 300 people in Bei Xu’s team who could be considered to be skilled at combat, and Bei Xu had once led his team to clear out a pinnacle Class 2 dimensional rift.
Bei Xu had started at rock bottom. The lower one started, the more difficult it would be to advance. However, Bei Xu had not slacked off for even a minute.
If he could vote for himself, Bei Xu might hesitate. But since he could not vote for himself, he did not feel pressured at all.
In all honesty, out of the seven of them, Peace and Yin Lin had improved the most.
Peace was now the Green Continent Goddess of the Broiling Rock Continent, and her reputation had traveled far and wide. The city she lived in was expanding rapidly.
When a neighboring large city heard of Peace, they sent experts to investigate and ended up deciding to form a trading partnership with Peace’s rising city.
Using the Water-Drawing Heat Roly Poly’s ability to create water, Peace could use water—the most precious resource in the Broiling Rock Continent—to trade for other necessary resources.
She had even fetched the nomads outside the city who were living day by day in the city and took care of them.
Everything she had done not only increased the city’s overall power but also boosted her reputation! She was now an icon of faith.
Even the people in neighboring cities regarded her as the Green Continent Goddess once they heard of what she had done and could do!
Such an improvement could not be easily replicated. The only one who could compare was Yin Lin, who had started out ahead of the others.
Yin Lin had already used the resources she had traded from Lin Yuan to buy almost 30 islands in the Azure Federation and established an extensive trading network.
She had even used her influence to enable herself to be promoted from the fourth Azure Envoy to the third.
She was currently trading in the Azure Federation by leveraging on her title. She hoped that her faction would gain the freedom to move in and out of a Class 6 water world dimensional rift.
She was now a notable figure in the Azure Federation.
But if a comparison had to be made, Peace’s improvements were only possible due to Yin Lin and Su Yiren’s guidance. This included interactions with other large cities.
Yin Lin and Su Yiren were always happy to use their experience and knowledge to help rookies.
Thus, Bei Xu decided to cast his vote for Yin Lin.
Since he had a chosen candidate, he immediately said, “I’ve made my decision. My vote goes to Yin Lin!”
Yin Lin did not look surprised to hear that Bei Xu was voting for her because she already knew that she and Peace were the only contenders based on the objective judgment of improvement.
But besides improvement, she had performed better than Peace in other areas.
Yin Lin had the experience and shrewdness that came from being part of a large faction. Peace could not compete with that.
Nonetheless, she had been sincere in helping the Astronomical Parliament’s new members. If she had selfish motives, she would not have performed as well as she did!
When it was time for Yin Lin to vote, she generously and fairly voted for Peace.
After Yin Lin came Ta Lei’s turn.
Ta Lei came from a small tribe and was even more innocent than Peace and Bu Po.
He had personally witnessed Su Yiren’s contributions to Lin Yuan. Along with Luo Lan, they had received significant help from Su Yiren.
Furthermore, Luo Lan had been the one communicating with him on Lin Yuan’s behalf for a long time.
Hence, Ta Lei eventually decided to vote for Su Yiren.
When it was Su Yiren’s turn to vote, she also voted for Yin Lin.
Bu Po voted for Peace. Because of his background, Bu Po could imagine how difficult her path had been.
Wo Lun did not share Bu Po’s thoughts.
He had almost died out at sea because he lacked fresh water. Thus, he knew how important basic resources for survival were in extreme environments.
As long as Peace had the ability to create water, she would be put on a pedestal despite not being able to cool her environment.
Moreover, more than half of Peace’s achievements could be attributed to Su Yiren and Yin Lin’s guidance. If they had not taught her how to control the hearts of others, she might not have gained the Green Continent Goddess title.
Instead, she might have been captured and locked away, spending her days being forced to create water. Wo Lun had seen how black the human heart could be plenty of times!
Hence, Wo Lun voted for Yin Lin.
By now, six of them had voted. The vote tally stood at Yin Lin with three votes, Su Yiren with one vote, and Peace with two votes.
Since Peace could not vote for herself, the result had emerged without Luo Lan and Peace’s votes. Unless Peace and Luo Lan both voted for Su Yiren and put her even with Yin Lin, the latter would be the fourth occupant of a golden throne.
Luo Lan did not hesitate to vote for Su Yiren.
This was not because she did not acknowledge Yin Lin’s improvements but because Su Yiren had been investing all her time in others. Luo Lan, Ta Lei, and the entire Iron Hammer, Great Lush, and Divine Wood Federations had all received help from her.
Without Su Yiren, there was no way that someone as green as Ta Lei would be able to manage Thick Soil City!
