Chapter 421: The Tree-Dwelling Tribe is Unreliable

“It’s over, there are even Soul Clans…”

“Doesn’t this mean that all those Tree-Dwelling Tribe members might have been turned into hosts by the Soul Clan?”

“Among them, there is a Tree-Dwelling Tribe member at level ninety, who is second only to the powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”

“By this calculation, the Soul Clan’s strength is almost enough to easily wipe out our human federation?”

In the conference room of the parliament building, all the giants from the parliament and the Military slumped weakly in their chairs.

Their heads buzzed with noise.

The Large Battleship had scanned Morris’s roar, which allowed them to roughly guess what had happened.

And this outcome was unacceptable to them all.

How could this group of Tree-Dwelling Tribe members be so incredibly unreliable?

Each one was worse than the last.

The first Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy not only failed to destroy the Soul Clan during their weakest period, but also gave his own physical body to the Soul Clan, greatly boosting their top-tier combat power by two major realms.

The second Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy was somewhat better; he simply went to his death, preventing the parliament and the Military from ever deciding to destroy the Soul Clan.

The third Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, the one at hand now, foolishly gave all his powerful subordinates to the Soul Clan.

This allowed the Soul Clan’s high-end combatants to reach a level capable of sweeping away any race in the star cluster.

With over three hundred hosts ranging from level sixty to level ninety, combining all the strong members of the dominant races in the star cluster wouldn’t be enough to match even a small finger of theirs.

Yet, these Soul Clan members had hidden within the sphere of influence of the human federation.

It was like having a group of extremely vicious, fully armed bandits lurking in one’s own home.

If not for their strong will, these giants from the parliament and Military would have been scared to death.

What to do?

The figure of Yi Chen couldn’t help but appear in all the giants’ minds.

They regretted not taking action earlier.

The Soul Clan’s calamity and its fruit were produced because the human federation had been unable to obtain authorization and recognition from Yi Chen for a long time.

The best way to resolve the situation was for Yi Chen to take action.

As a result, they had inadvertently allowed the Soul Clan to reach such a powerful level.

They wondered if it was still possible to reach out to Yi Chen now.

A glimmer of hope flashed in all the giants’ eyes.

It should still be possible.

Both the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and Yi Chen had left an impression on them of continually creating miracles.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe continuously created impossible miracles that all ended in failure.

And Yi Chen created impossible miracles that all succeeded.

From Yi Chen’s strength realm, it seemed impossible to deal with the currently powerful and unimaginable Soul Clan.

But achieving the impossible was not something Yi Chen had only done once or twice.

Just because they couldn’t think of how Yi Chen would handle the Soul Clan didn’t mean he couldn’t.

However, soon the light in all the giants’ eyes faded away again.

At this moment, the relationship between both parties had reached an irreparable deadlock. What could convince Yi Chen to help the human federation deal with this terrifying threat from the Soul Clan?

Not to mention that they didn’t even know where Yi Chen was hiding.

“The only hope is for Morris to invite a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, skilled in tracking and searching, to find Yi Chen and then force him to sign a contract with us…”

One of the giants in the parliament sighed deeply.

He felt it was rather unreliable.

The other giants also sighed deeply.

They shared the same feeling of unreliability.

It was truly not dependable to place all their hopes on the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

At the very least, it had never been reliable so far.

“Regardless, this situation has become a fact. We must gather our spirits and develop a new response plan.”

Lu Qingxian exhaled deeply, his gaze sweeping across the faces of those present.

All the giants could only nod in agreement.

“The urgent task is to convince Morris to stay in the galaxy, and even to remain near our Parliament Building. The Senior Military Officials must also temporarily stay at the Parliament Building.”

Lu Qingxian organized his thoughts and spoke.

“It shouldn’t be difficult. Although he wants to distance himself from this star cluster, he has now given away all his subordinates to the Soul Clan, which has increased their top-tier combat power to a level where they can easily wipe out our human federation’s high-ranking leaders.”

Marshal Iron Blood spoke up, “According to the causal path of their Tree-Dwelling Tribe, this means he owes us a tremendous debt, just like the first Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy. Regardless of the situation, he must ensure our safety.”

The giants nodded in agreement, acknowledging this deduction.

“Next, we need to convince Morris to invite at all costs a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe who is skilled in tracking and searching.”

Lu Qingxian mused, “While this matter is urgent, we shouldn’t push too hard. Given Morris’s nature of only entering and not exiting, if he faces significant losses, he might resort to desperate measures to invite the skilled Tree-Dwelling Tribe being.”

“If we push too hard, we might force him to cut ties and leave.”

“Fortunately, he has already suffered heavy losses. By completing the task and gaining the benefits from the contract we signed, as well as obtaining the Space Stone from another Tree-Dwelling Tribe powerful being related to Yi Chen, he could turn the tables and recover all his losses.”

“Moreover, if he really does give up the task and leaves, not only will the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe punish him, but he will also have to repay the benefits we provided him earlier.”

“He has no choices left; it’s just a matter of when he will come to understand!”

The giants all nodded in agreement.

“Additionally, we can no longer put all our hopes on the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”

Lu Qingxian said helplessly, “A powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe skilled in tracking and searching sounds difficult. But who knows what might happen at that time?”

“Indeed… I now feel that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe might not be compatible with this star cluster.”

Marshal Iron Blood chuckled bitterly.

“Let’s try and see if we can contact Yi Chen through the Revival Army!”

Lu Qingxian sighed, “If we can contact Yi Chen, it would essentially mean we have found him. I feel a little uncertain relying on Morris to force Yi Chen to sign a contract with us…”

The giants fell silent.

They had been thinking about this matter too.

Even if they found Yi Chen, would Morris be able to force him to sign a contract with the Federal Parliament?

Logically, it should be possible.

But they felt that Yi Chen was not someone that could be deduced by logic, not to mention that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was unreliable.

Combining both factors, what seemed like a sure thing turned into something rather unlikely.

“So… I propose we lower the conditions of the contract.”

Lu Qingxian gritted his teeth and said, “Since Yi Chen insists on his bottom line, to seek common ground while reserving differences, we must lower our bottom line.”

“How do we lower it? Are we going to let Yi Chen hold the ruling power of the human federation? Even if we are willing, the public won’t be.”

“What if we don’t sign a contract that threatens the human federation’s interests? Who knows if Yi Chen will start seeking revenge once he gains power? No one can guess his thoughts, and it will only result in us being caught in the middle!”

A military giant frowned and countered.

“No, let’s change it to a cooperative form!”

Lu Qingxian explained, “We will no longer require Yi Chen to prioritize the interests of the human federation. Instead, we will only require that he does not seize the ruling power of the human federation and that we become vassals of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe together in a cooperative manner.”

“In addition, we should meet all of Yi Chen’s demands to the best of our ability. Of course, Yi Chen must also teach us various new skills.”

The giants sighed inwardly.

It seemed that only by completely giving up the idea of controlling Yi Chen could they truly reach a cooperation with him.

“Since everyone has no objections, let’s discuss the details! Our unilateral concession also conflicts with the contract signed with Morris.”

Lu Qingxian decided.

After slightly adjusting their mindsets, the giants began to discuss how to convince Morris to stay in the galaxy.
