Chapter 813: Contacting the Time Tribe

"That’s right. If we can find the hiding place of the strongest member of humanity, we could turn the tables and ambush him; the chances of success are actually quite high."

"This is based solely on the strength of our Tree-Dwelling Tribe. If the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe are willing to cooperate and send elders to join us, the success rate will definitely be higher."

"Moreover, we must involve the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe. The strongest member of humanity and the Great Flame Empire are threats not only to our Tree-Dwelling Tribe but also to the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe. We cannot bear all the risk while they sit back and enjoy the benefits without any danger to themselves."

The elders grew more excited as they spoke.

But soon, the head of the foreign affairs department, the Ninth Elder, poured cold water on their enthusiasm: "The real challenge lies in how to locate the hiding place of this strongest member of humanity."

Within the entire range of the defensive barriers, silence fell instantly.

The foreign affairs department and the War Department had attempted to capture this strongest member of humanity multiple times, deploying many strong fighters skilled in tracking and searching techniques.

But the results were either fruitless or they were completely wiped out.

That was when the strongest member of humanity was still relatively weak, and now his strength realm has reached nearly level 230, while he possesses powerful treasure that can shield him from tracking and searching techniques, making it even harder to find his hiding place.

"Actually, even if he has a powerful treasure that blocks tracking and searching techniques, it is not completely impossible to find him."

One elder suddenly spoke up: "From what I know, the Rift Heart Tribe is renowned as the best at locating targets within the super star cluster. Their strong fighters can even use communication stones to track down the users of those stones."

"Additionally, the Time Tribe has the ability to reverse time. As long as they are willing to spend time, they can gradually discover the hiding place of this strongest member of humanity using their time-reverse ability."

"Exactly!"

The elders nodded unanimously.

"Joining forces with the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe to assassinate the strongest member of humanity is a feasible plan!"

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe nodded and confirmed the decision.

He continued, "This alone is not enough; there’s also the Great Flame Empire. We must act on both fronts to ensure both can be contained."

"In this aspect, we can also join forces with the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe, as well as enlist the help of the large, medium, and smaller races of the Golden Cloud Galaxy, setting an ambush for the Great Flame Empire’s army."

"The biggest challenge is how to persuade the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe to cooperate."

The elders slightly furrowed their brows.

They understood the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s point.

For the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe, the Great Flame Empire is indeed a huge threat, but conversely, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe is also a significant threat to them.

This is because the Tree-Dwelling Tribe possesses the large-scale long-distance troop transport capability.

The Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe allied precisely because they sensed the threat from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Once the strongest member of humanity and the Great Flame Empire are taken care of, it would mean the balance of power would revert to its previous state.

The two races would certainly not agree to this.

If the Tree-Dwelling Tribe proposed cooperation, the two tribes would surely lay out various conditions.

They might even demand that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe provide them with the large-scale long-distance troop transport capabilities.

This is undoubtedly something the Tree-Dwelling Tribe cannot agree to.

If they do, the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe would also gain the long-distance transport capability, putting the Tree-Dwelling Tribe at a huge disadvantage.

With only the strength of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they cannot compete against the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe.

"Perhaps we can sign a non-aggression pact with the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe for a certain period," proposed the Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This was a compromise.

They believed the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe would not refuse it.

After all, eliminating one threat is significant.

With a temporary agreement, the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe would have ample time to search for a solution without worrying about attacks from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

However, the length of the pact and its scope needed to be carefully negotiated.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe could not agree to a treaty that forbids them from invading the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe for millions of years, nor could they stop expanding.

Conversely, the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe would not accept a treaty lasting only one or two hundred years while the Tree-Dwelling Tribe could continue to expand and invade other star clusters, conquering other races.

"The Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe are unaware of the terrifying talent of the strongest member of humanity. They will certainly argue for their terms without yielding an inch," Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe pondered. "Therefore, we can only compromise as much as possible to promote cooperation swiftly."

The elders nodded in agreement.

They did not oppose taking some losses in the pact.

The reason was simple: resolving the crisis posed by the strongest member of humanity and the Great Flame Empire was the most important priority.

Moreover, only the Tree-Dwelling Tribe truly understood the extent of the strongest member of humanity’s talent, recognizing how terrifying the skills he created were and how incredible the Cave Paradise he built could be.

Thus, while addressing the strongest member of humanity and the Great Flame Empire, the elders of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe also secretly desired to capture the strongest member of humanity.

This matter certainly could not be included in the contract discussions with the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe; it had to be done in secret.

Alternatively, the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe would hardly notice this aspect, increasing the chances of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s success.

So taking some losses in the contract was not a problem.

"Since everyone agrees, I will contact the leader of the Time Tribe directly and brief him."

Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe decided.

Once all the elders nodded in agreement, he wasted no time and immediately took out the communication stone.

He infused energy into it and began to contact the leader of the Time Tribe.

"Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe?"

The leader of the Time Tribe quickly connected the call, his tone lightly questioning.

Clearly, he was surprised that the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would contact him at this moment, given their extremely tense relationship.

"Leader of the Time Tribe, I believe you have received information regarding the Great Flame Empire’s third expansion?"

Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe stated.

"I know for sure!"

The leader of the Time Tribe nodded but did not elaborate further.

His mind was racing to assess the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s intentions for contacting him.

"If my judgment is correct, the strongest member of humanity and the Great Flame Empire are deliberately trying to delay time," Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe said without hesitation. "He has no intention of forming an alliance with our three races. The ambition of that strongest member of humanity is too great; his goal is to conquer the entire super star cluster and he does not want to share it with any particular race."

"Everyone has ambitions, but whether they can be achieved depends on matching strength."

As anticipated by Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the elders, the leader of the Time Tribe did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

Of course, this was due to a lack of information.

Only the Tree-Dwelling Tribe truly understood Yi Chen’s and the Great Flame Empire’s development trajectory, knowing how frightening Yi Chen’s growth speed had become and how allowing Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire to continue their expansion would pose a terrifying threat to the three dominant races.
