Chapter 791: The Inference of the Federal High-ranking Leaders

After waiting for most of the day without receiving a reply from Moxus, Galid grew worried. He couldn’t help but take out the communication stone to actively contact Moxus and inquire about the situation.

However, no matter how long he waited, Moxus never answered the call.

A sense of foreboding surged within him.

Galid quickly contacted Darnell, but the result was the same.

He reached out to other strong fighters, but none answered their communications either.

He immediately contacted the military high-ranking leaders of the human federation, asking them to attempt reaching the two Large Battleships heading to the star cluster.

This time, they succeeded in making contact.

But soon, the footage and materials collected by the two Large Battleships from the blood-colored planet left Galid stunned.

Everyone was dead.

Moxus, Darnell, and all the strong fighters were killed on the blood-colored planet.

What was going on?

Galid felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety.

This strongest member of humanity could even kill level 230 strong fighters?

Meanwhile, the high-ranking leaders of the Federal Parliament and the military also began to feel uneasy.

From the information gathered by the Large Battleship, even without Galid saying anything, they could almost guess the whole story.

“How could this happen? Yi Chen possibly brought the Great Flame Empire to the super star cluster and could even kill level 230 strong fighters?”

“Not to mention the power he possesses—how could it be so high? If he has already arrived at the super star cluster, how could he kill level 230 strong fighters back in the star cluster?”

The faces of the high-ranking leaders of the Federal Parliament and the military turned pale.

During this time, their mood had been exceptionally good.

With the Tree-Dwelling Tribe launching its second round of expansion, one medium-sized race after another was easily conquered or surrendered.

The speed of expansion was continually increasing.

If this rate continued, as long as the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe didn’t cause any trouble or come up with a way to counter the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it was likely that within a hundred years, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would gradually devour the entire super star cluster.

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the elders had never felt so clearly that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had such a great chance to unify the entire super star cluster.

The human federation, credited for this achievement, naturally reaped countless benefits.

Not only the high-ranking leaders of the Federal Parliament and the military, but even ordinary citizens found the resources and treasures allocated to them were more than enough to last a lifetime.

Just days ago, the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe personally contacted Federal Parliament member Lu Qingxian, promising that the day the Tree-Dwelling Tribe unified the super star cluster would be the day the human federation could freely choose any star cluster as its territory.

How excited were the high-ranking leaders of the Federal Parliament and the military at achieving such a level as a vassal race?

It was easy to imagine the thrill among the citizens of the federation.

What the high-ranking leaders of the Federal Parliament and the military never expected was that just as they awaited another piece of good news,

even though this time strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe weren’t in the star cluster, and even with two level 230 strong fighters stationed there, what should have been a sure victory turned into a grim fate.

Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire not only arrived at the super star cluster but also killed the two level 230 strong fighters heading for the star cluster.

"Previously, several failures with Yi Chen could be explained by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe not being in harmony with this star cluster. But this time, how should we explain it?" a senior military official said solemnly.

Everyone fell silent.

Suddenly, they had an epiphany.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s repeated setbacks in this star cluster were not due to any supposed disharmony; instead, they simply faced continuous misfortune whenever the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was involved.

It might even be purely because the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had provoked Yi Chen.

What does this imply?

It implies that, from beginning to end, everything was under Yi Chen’s control.

"I suddenly feel like the Great Flame Empire might end up laughing last…" a high-ranking member of the Parliament said softly.

As soon as these words were spoken, they resonated with the high-ranking leaders of both the Parliament and the military.

They understood Yi Chen all too well.

It was just that the gap in strength had made it hard for them to believe.

Only today, upon learning that Yi Chen wielded enough power to kill even a team of strong fighters assembled from two level 230 strong fighters, did they realize the truth.

Based on Yi Chen’s behavior and character during his time on the exile planet, along with the recent developments, including his arrival at the super star cluster with the Great Flame Empire and eliminating a team of two hundred and thirty level strong fighters, they could almost certainly deduce that long ago, during the exile period, Yi Chen had refused to sign a vassal contract with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, deliberately concealing this information to toy with both the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the human federation.

"Whether it was the first Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy being attacked by the Soul Clan and losing his physical body, the second envoy’s soul being completely destroyed, or the third envoy arriving in this star cluster only to have the Shadow King seize the Space Stone from him… it is likely all part of Yi Chen’s plan and methods," Lu Qingxian sighed. "Perhaps, he could have reached the super star cluster a long time ago. If nothing goes wrong, the one who killed the level 230 strong fighters must be himself."

Everyone silently nodded.

Though their powers weren’t impressive, their brains were indeed sharp.

During the exile period, Yi Chen never did anything without assurance.

When encountering powerful fierce beasts or opponents, he often chose to endure for a time, waiting for his strength to grow before making his move.

If they considered it from this angle, all the various accidents involving the Tree-Dwelling Tribe in this star cluster were undoubtedly orchestrated by Yi Chen behind the scenes.

He was taking one step at a time to buy himself time.

That is why they suspected the team formed by two level 230 strong fighters might have been personally eliminated by Yi Chen.

The best evidence was that if the high-ranking leaders of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were correct in their assumptions, a powerful being slept in this star cluster, having been awakened by Yi Chen.

Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire could not have lain in wait in this star cluster for over ten years.

With such formidable power, able even to kill two level 230 strong fighters simultaneously, he had no need to fear the Tree-Dwelling Tribe at all; he could kill as many Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters as he wanted.

It was known that Yi Chen had an almost reckless ambition for expanding his influence during his time on the exile planet.

With enough power, he would not have waited idly for over ten years.

Therefore, the current ability to kill level 230 strong fighters likely indicated that Yi Chen’s strength had risen to such a considerable degree.

Another piece of evidence was that Yi Chen had come to the super star cluster with the Great Flame Empire and had not deliberately blocked the news.

Based solely on Yi Chen’s character, it was unlikely he would act so aggressively unless he had the qualification and confidence to advance into the super star cluster.

In just over twenty years, in a star cluster where the upper limit was only level 150, to rise to the level of killing two level 230 strong fighters and hundreds of level 220 and level 210 strong fighters was simply unimaginable for any race in the super star cluster.

However, the high-ranking leaders of the Federal Parliament and the military, even the citizens of the federation, chose to believe in various pieces of evidence.

The reasoning was simple: during his time on the exile planet, Yi Chen had started from nothing, creating skills on his own as an ordinary person, and in just over ten years, he had risen to become a strong fighter in this star cluster.

The Federal Parliament and the federation’s military didn’t believe him before, simply due to a lack of understanding of the super star cluster.

They thought Yi Chen, no matter how talented, was merely a standout among many in this star cluster.

But now, they understood that just based on one Cave Paradise, Yi Chen’s talent could easily overpower the leaders of dominant races like the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and Reincarnation Tribe.

Even the clan leaders of these dominant races throughout history.

In the super star cluster, Yi Chen was also the most powerful genius ever seen.

Because throughout the history of the super star cluster, no other genius had been able to create something that could rapidly raise an entire race’s average cultivation level despite lower talent limits.

With his talent limit reached and astonishing creativity, it was not surprising that in just over twenty years, Yi Chen’s strength had risen to the level of killing two hundred and thirty level strong fighters.
