Chapter 219: Wait Another Six Months
Five months passed in a flash.
Galactic Calendar, August 15, 2026.
In the center of the galaxy, on a barren planet very close to a star.
The planet’s surface was dotted with various volcanoes and lava.
Underground, there was a massive training room.
The training room had been modified.
It reached a height of over fifty meters and covered an area of several thousand square meters.
The entire training room was constructed from high-temperature resistant, high-density alloy materials.
All the training equipment and devices inside had been removed.
The east wall was transformed into a gigantic electronic display screen.
The display screen showed Yi Chen’s stone house at the end of the valley.
In the center of the training room stood an extraordinary towering tree.
This towering tree was entirely emerald green.
Its branches were thick and lush.
It reached a height of over one hundred meters.
Its roots also extended over a hundred meters, breaking through the high-density alloy and sprawling across the bottom of the entire base.
The dense foliage pushed out from the training room and the underground base, directly exposed to the planet’s surface.
The several thousand degrees of stellar light continuously infused into the leaves, rapidly converting into refined energy.
This towering tree was the special envoy of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
Beep beep beep…
From a curled leaf, a clear sound suddenly emerged.
The leaf unfolded, revealing a communicator belonging to the Federation of Humanity.
Moreover, it was a modified communicator capable of transmitting sound and images even in environments with extremely low atmospheric pressure or in a vacuum.
Soon, a virtual image of a white-haired elder appeared.
If any citizens of the Federation of Humanity saw this, they would instantly recognize him as Lu Qingxian, the president of the Federal Parliament.
He was the foremost person in the human federation.
“Special Envoy, the situation on life planet A12516 is getting worse.”
Lu Qingxian slightly bowed and then spoke, “A few days ago, both our parliament and the intelligence personnel of the military completely lost contact.”
“The entire planet, despite having no unusual external communications or business activities, is very likely under the control of Yuan Huo, with the lives of over five billion humanity at stake.”
“Yuan Huo not only controls many top fierce beasts through various channels but also seems to have contacted the strong from various tribes, according to some subtle clues.”
“Moreover, he appears to have some special means to manipulate others.”
“The members of our parliament and the intelligence organization of the Military can still communicate with us normally. The reason we say we have lost contact is because the content of their messages seems somewhat inconsistent with their usual communication style.”
“It’s more as if their memories have been extracted, and someone is using their memories to respond to the parliament and military.”
The implication was clear, obviously reminding the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy that it was time to take action.
“This is a price the human federation must pay. No matter how the president thinks to change it, the result cannot be altered.”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy replied lightly.
“Special Envoy, can we take action early?”
Lu Qingxian spoke plainly.
From the standpoint of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, the human federation must pay a huge price to offset the negative impacts of calamity.
Over five billion humanity is nothing at all.
But from the perspective of the Federal Parliament, even knowing that this price must be paid, they still want to minimize losses as much as possible.
Most importantly, there is the real threat of an entire life planet facing the extinction of all over five billion federal citizens.
If this news spreads, it would be a massive earthquake for the entire federation.
The negative impact would be enormous, especially at this stage when ordinary citizens of the Flame Mountain Tribe have started to break through to the ninth level of Spirit Law.
In just a few months, a major negative message about ordinary people reaching their talent limit and being unable to break into the Spirit Consciousness stage would explode.
If these two super critical negative messages were to occur one after the other, even if the parliament had been prepared, the entire human federation would be thrown into chaos.
Worse still, these two significant negative messages would impact each other.
For the benefit of the human federation, the Federal Parliament and the Military obviously think that learning the various new skills created by Yi Chen is far more beneficial than the losses caused by calamity.
But this is the perspective of the senior officials of the Federal Parliament and the Military.
Their so-called high ground and far sight come from their grip on power. No matter what, calamity would not pose a threat to them.
Thus, the parliament and the military naturally feel that sacrificing the interests of a few tribe members is a far lesser cost compared to the benefits of continued learning.
However, for the Federation of Humanity, it is another matter altogether.
The vast majority of people do not, and cannot, have the spirit of sacrificing themselves for the greater good.
The reality that calamity could easily plunge an entire planet and billions of people into a massive crisis is something no one wants to accept.
Because no one knows whether this misfortune will fall upon them.
Those wealthy and powerful individuals who are well-informed can escape immediately when subtle clues appear.
But ordinary people cannot.
If they also come to realize that limited by their understanding, the talent limit for ordinary people is only the Ninth Level of Spirit Law, it would be a harsh reality to face.
More than ninety percent of the people in the entire federation would unhesitatingly choose to tell Yi Chen the truth, seeking to gain his understanding and stop the calamity from continuing.
After all, whether they could continue to learn from him had become unimportant.
Because no matter how powerful skills Yi Chen created or how much he expanded the path of cultivation, ordinary people could only reach the Ninth Level of Spirit Law.
To prevent this situation from occurring, the parliament undoubtedly leaned more towards the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, hoping he could quickly harvest the calamity fruit.
This way, the harm caused by calamity could be distributed elsewhere instead of being fully concentrated on one life planet.
“Wait six more months!”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy responded decisively.
The parliament’s concerns were their business.
It had nothing to do with him.
He knew that waiting for the calamity fruit to grow to a certain level before harvesting could save time.
Harvesting bit by bit was too troublesome.
Although the Tree-Dwelling Tribe values cause and effect, they are not altruistic saints.
The Federal Parliament sought to have him as a subordinate, but this Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy did not need to consider the parliament’s difficulties.
If he wasted time harvesting calamity fruit bit by bit, it would only leave the Federal Parliament indebted to him personally.
There were no resources in the galaxy that he found valuable; the cause and effect of ending the calamity fruit would mainly benefit Yi Chen.
Because if he intervened in the harvest, all the merit and luck gained from the calamity fruit would belong to Yi Chen.
On the human federation’s side, they would just return and say a few kind words; he wouldn’t need to offer anything significant in return.
This favor was indeed worth nothing at all.
In fact, even with Yi Chen, he planned to spend little to accomplish great deeds.
Because according to his calculations, the will of heaven on the exile planet was not very strong.
If Yi Chen maintained this speed of improvement and reached two more major realms, he would hit the tolerance limit of the will of heaven on the exile planet.
At that point, he would face the heavenly punishment test from the will of heaven of the exile planet.
His plan was to provide a few treasures that would allow Yi Chen to withstand the heavenly punishment with 100% certainty, thus easily suppressing the cause and effect of harvesting the calamity fruit.
“Alright! I apologize for disturbing you, Special Envoy.”
Seeing the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s firm attitude, Lu Qingxian felt helpless and could only end the conversation.
If things would not work out with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, he could only try to seal off the news and ensure that no matter how big the trouble became, it would not spread.
