Chapter 762: Target Selection

As Bunier and the federal High-ranking Leaders had predicted, when the announcement for migrating to the Tree Star Cluster was made, the entire human federation’s citizens became chaotic.

Everyone’s first reaction was one of disbelief.

After all, this meant that all the citizens would have to leave their homeland.

However, after a brief period of protest and dissatisfaction, the citizens gradually calmed down.

Just as Bunier had said, external pressure and internal interests made it hard for them to continue resisting.

What would happen if they refused to migrate and the powerful beings from the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe came?

These beings could destroy a life planet with a mere wave of their hands.

If they did not move to the Tree Star Cluster, they might be wiped out by the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe.

In comparison, migrating to an unfamiliar, distant star field was certainly better than facing possible annihilation.

Moreover, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had offered irresistible benefits.

Once the situation stabilized, the human federation could return to their original star cluster.

“Migrating to the super star cluster is difficult for us to accept, but what truly bothers me is that we still haven’t found Yi Chen.”

“Exactly! Who knows where Yi Chen is hiding with the Great Flame Kingdom?”

“I think we should issue an announcement stating that no matter where Yi Chen is hiding, he must have placed spies and informants within our human federation. At the very least, the Revival Army will relay any messages to him.”

“Knowing that our star cluster may face threats from powerful races, it’s possible that Yi Chen will abandon hiding and join us in migrating to the Tree Star Cluster.”

“The likelihood is low, but it’s not impossible. The key point is whether the Tree-Dwelling Tribe will overlook past grievances and not pursue him for his deception and tricks.”

“Alas, I wonder what he is thinking. With the help of the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, we can create higher-level skills without his assistance. But he is, after all, the founder of this cultivation method; he led our humanity down the cultivation path. Leaving him behind in this star cluster leaves me feeling uneasy.”

“What can we do? It’s his stubbornness that keeps insisting on holding a grudge against us.”

After accepting the idea of migration, the only remaining concern for the citizens was the fact that, despite having the assistance of powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they still had not found Yi Chen’s hiding place.

This situation left them feeling somewhat unsettled.

After all, from the citizens’ perspective, even though they no longer needed Yi Chen to create new skills, he was still the founder. Giving him a good ending would at least make humanity’s history appear more honorable.

One must realize that with Yi Chen’s contributions, he was destined to be one of the greatest and unavoidable figures in the history of humanity.

His poor relationship with the human federation certainly served as a major blemish for the federation.

However, no one knew that Yi Chen did not need the human federation to offer him a good ending or a nice place to return to.

Because he and the Great Flame Empire had already developed to a level far beyond what the citizens of the federation could imagine.

More importantly, the skills released by the federation were actually those Yi Chen had traded to the federal High-ranking Leaders, rather than skills researched and created by the federation’s geniuses under the guidance of the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

All the citizens of the federation lived in the lies of the federation’s High-ranking Leaders.

Days later, preparations for the migration began.

The human federation’s army started to withdraw from the star systems they had already occupied.

According to the plan developed by the Federal Parliament and the Military, the entire migration process would occur in batches.

Every few days, a batch of Large Battleships set off with billions of citizens heading to the Tree Star Cluster.

Meanwhile, at the War Department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, two powerful beings at level 230, accompanied by a vast number of strong fighters and high-end combatants from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, arrived at the edge of the super star cluster in advance to ensure that the human federation reached the Tree Star Cluster smoothly.

…

On the other side, in the Tianling Star Cluster, numerous top geniuses gathered at the blood-colored planet.

Yi Chen began the twelfth session of new skill teaching.

The focus of the twelfth session was mainly on the Yuan Immortal version of the Chaos Technique and various skills.

Although these were all improved versions without any new skills, even with a tenfold flow of time to control the passage of time, it still took Yi Chen more than two months to successfully pass on all the skills to the top geniuses.

With the twelfth session of new skill teaching complete, the Great Flame Empire successfully consolidated the Undying Star System and prepared to send forces to the two surrounding star systems.

Additionally, an assassination team set off for the outskirts of the star cluster using the addresses provided by the Shadow Kings to control the strongest members and High-ranking Leaders of various tribes.

Without the threat from the powerful beings of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the human federation, securing the strongest members and High-ranking Leaders would greatly accelerate the Great Flame Empire’s goal of unifying the entire star cluster.

Yi Chen decided not to stay at the blood-colored planet.

After leaving Mares and the level 210 Boljin Tribe strong fighter to oversee the star cluster, Yi Chen, along with the Shadow King, Titan Bo, and Boses, utilized the teleportation array to reach the Time Star Cluster.

This was a decision Yi Chen made after careful consideration.

To significantly boost the strength of the Shadow Kings, the best method was undoubtedly to acquire a large quantity of the Heart of Time from the Time Tribe.

The Shadow King had rapidly increased his level from one hundred ninety to two hundred ten using the Heart of Time.

The biggest challenge was that the Heart of Time was refined from the hearts of Time Tribe warriors and had to be willingly given by those warriors.

Therefore, even among the dominant races of the Time Tribe in this super star cluster, the Heart of Time was extremely rare and valuable.

Fortunately, given the foundation of the Time Tribe, there must be a good number of Hearts of Time available.

The real difficulty lay in identifying which Time Tribe warriors possessed the Hearts of Time.

Yi Chen focused on the High-ranking Leaders within the Time Tribe’s Intelligence Organization.

These High-ranking Leaders in the Intelligence Organization may not possess the Heart of Time, but as strong beings at level 230, they hold information that many ordinary fighters do not know. Being High-ranking Leaders, they are likely to know details about a few Hearts of Time.

After researching information from the High-ranking Leaders in the Time Tribe’s Intelligence Organization, Yi Chen eventually set his target on a Time Tribe warrior named Morni.

Morni was of medium strength among the many High-ranking Leaders of the Time Tribe’s Intelligence Organization.

He preferred seclusion and would often isolate himself for decades without attending to any matters, which was quite normal.

Moreover, Morni was responsible for gathering various information about the Time Star Cluster within the Intelligence Organization.

He understood more about internal information than the other High-ranking Leaders in the Intelligence Organization, making it more likely for him to know which warriors held the Hearts of Time.
