Chapter 130: The Burden of the Three-Eyed Tribe
"Why did Yi Chen suddenly think of forming a team to search for and explore spirit mines?"
"Is he even planning to build another stone house next to his to store the discovered spirit mines?"
"I have a bold idea!"
In the live room, the audience, who couldn’t cultivate the Chaos Technique in the Spirit Consciousness stage, nor learn divine consciousness or the Beast Taming Technique, suddenly perked up.
"What bold idea? It’s easy to guess! Yi Chen must have a new skill in mind, likely related to spirit mines!"
"He probably plans to forge better long swords. I remember a long time ago, Yi Chen asked the high priest to start collecting spirit mines for sword forging."
"However, the conditions weren’t right back then; most of the spirit mines couldn’t be melted with flames."
"The conditions only became ripe after the Method of All Laws was created."
"With Yi Chen’s current realm and the fire spells he can cast, after some modifications, he will definitely be able to melt most spirit mines."
"It should be true that he is forging a long sword, but I feel that the sword he creates will surely astonish us beyond our imagination!"
"Anyway, even if it surpasses the strength of the highest-grade alloy sword, I wouldn’t be surprised at all."
"Yi Chen’s abilities are beyond doubt. However, it still depends on the spirit mine materials."
Some couldn’t help but shake their heads.
A smart cook cannot make a meal without rice. Back then, Yi Chen had to settle for an iron sword because the number of spirit mines was too small, and the melting issues were still present!
Currently, the spirit mines collected by the Yanhuang Tribe are also not abundant.
"So many issues just to forge a good sword… It’s too bad Yi Chen is on the exile planet; otherwise, he could choose from all the qualities of spirit mines across the galaxy."
"I just checked the information on those spirit mines; some of them can indeed be used to forge good swords. There’s even one type that emits cold air. Perhaps forging a sword with it would give the Sword Energy a chilling effect."
"If the material emits cold air, won’t holding it freeze you?"
"It seems Yi Chen’s new skill is aimed at solving this problem. The long sword he forges might have the qualities of toughness and sharpness from the spirit mines while also retaining other powerful traits."
"It’s possible that the skills he creates always exceed our imagination and expectations."
In the live room, there was a lively discussion about what new skills Yi Chen might create and what heights he could reach.
Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Yi Chen focused on his training.
He was already capable of creating the weapon refining technique at his current realm.
Like the audience in the live room had guessed, he just needed to improve the fire spells.
But the difference was that the flames used in the weapon refining technique had very high requirements.
First, the temperature must be as high as possible.
Second, the stability of the flames must be strong enough to maintain a constant temperature.
Next, the flames should be able to adjust localized temperatures; only then can impurities be vaporized without damaging the materials.
Finally, the flames need to possess the characteristic of burning off some material properties, allowing for better fusion of different materials and the creation of desired spiritual artifacts and treasures.
These four major requirements become easier to meet as one’s realm grows stronger.
Beyond that, the weapon refining technique is just the foundation.
The process of refining weapons is the most important part, and during the creation of spiritual artifacts, divine consciousness plays a crucial role.
The higher the realm, the stronger the divine consciousness becomes.
Therefore, he does not rush to create the weapon refining technique.
He will wait until he has a firmer grasp at a higher level.
…
In the Three-Eyed Galaxy.
In the hidden chamber, the Second Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe had just begun his training for a short while.
The barriers outside began to fluctuate again.
This made him furrow his brow involuntarily.
The chief and the Great Elder preferred to give him all their power to avoid disturbances during their training.
Not passing authority to the Third Elder or the Fourth Elder does not mean he does not care about strength, nor that he is willing to be interrupted frequently during his training.
If he did not possess enough strength, he would not be qualified to be the Second Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe.
A purple light shot from his vertical eye toward the barriers.
The barriers then opened a passage.
An escort hurried in.
"Second Elder, that human genius’s new skill, when used with humanity’s control zone, can command all the top fierce beasts to join the battlefield."
"This new skill even poses a threat to our Three-Eyed Tribe!"
"What?"
A trace of shock flashed in the Second Elder’s eyes.
Wasn’t it said that this human genius’s new skill was similar to the control zone of humanity, each having its strengths and significant flaws?
The escort helplessly replied, "The effects of the human genius’s new skill far exceed humanity’s expectations…"
"Damn it!"
The Second Elder couldn’t help but curse.
Given humanity’s average talent level was so low, how could such an unfathomable genius emerge?
The escort continued, "The envoy from the Angelic Beings should have received the news and proposed once again that they wish to meet with you."
The Second Elder’s expression grew serious.
The galaxy is vast, and it is one of the two largest star systems in this star cluster.
The resources here are countless.
Top fierce beasts also number in the tens of millions.
Adding tens of millions of top fierce beasts to the human Military would undoubtedly give humanity a tremendous boost in strength.
Peace talks?
The thought flashed briefly in the Second Elder’s mind before he quickly chose to give it up.
In the entire star cluster, humanity is undoubtedly the most aggressive race.
They reproduce at an extremely fast rate, and with abundant resources, they can even double their population in just a century.
This population explosion continuously increases the demand for resources.
And resources have always been the source and driving force behind the expansion of all races.
Even though humanity may change its development direction and embark on a path of personal evolution, causing a possible slowdown in reproduction, that is still a matter for thousands or even tens of thousands of years into the future.
Moreover, humanity has an advantage in expansion that other races do not possess—space jump technology.
Humanity is the only race in the star cluster capable of long-distance troop transportation.
Throughout the long river of time, many dominant races have emerged in this star cluster.
But the entire star cluster is just too vast.
The shortest distance between various galaxies is over a million light-years, with the longest reaching nearly ten million light-years.
While the Powerful Entities of each race can use various treasures to forcibly tear space and create rifts for long-distance troop transport, they all face various flaws and inadequacies, making their methods far inferior to humanity’s space jump technology.
This has led these dominant races, despite having the strength to unify the entire star cluster, to be unable to wipe out other races due to their lengthy front lines.
Ultimately, they all fell apart due to resource shortages and internal conflicts, even leading to extinction.
Before humanity’s rise, the galaxy, as one of the two major galaxies, had already seen the emergence of such dominant races.
The final outcome was also fragmentation and gradual destruction.
It was not until hundreds of millions of years later that the galaxy slowly regained vitality and gave rise to humanity, this new dominant force.
It can be said that humanity, with its space jump system, is the race most feared by the other great races.
If humanity’s strength were to stagnate, the Three-Eyed Tribe would not mind temporarily setting aside their near-extinction hatred to seek peace with humanity.
Once their strength was sufficient, they could restart the war.
However, as humanity’s strength continuously improves, the Three-Eyed Tribe can never seek peace with humanity, whether from a long-term or short-term perspective.
This is not only due to their near-extinction hatred but also because the Three-Eyed Galaxy is one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way.
"Notify the envoy of the Angelic Beings and let him tell the Leader of the Angelic Beings that as long as the Angelic Beings are willing to show enough sincerity, our Three-Eyed Tribe can form an alliance with them."
"We can even send envoys to persuade other races to join the alliance alongside the Angelic Beings’ envoy."
"Additionally, let the Ninth Elder personally go to the Milky Way to oversee the assassination of the human genius."
The Second Elder ultimately made the decision.
Agreeing to ally with the Angelic Beings now and even persuading other races alongside them would inevitably result in significant losses, and they might even have to pay a considerable price in return.
But like the Angelic Beings, the Three-Eyed Tribe could not afford to delay.
