Chapter 269: Unforgivable
Yi Chen’s heart stirred as his gaze shifted to Bai Ruo Xin’s stunning face.
Lu Qingxian frowned, displeased, and said, "The Country Lord and I are discussing important matters concerning the survival of humanity. Under these circumstances, should I have someone bring Bai Zhenshan here to teach you how to behave like a subordinate?"
"If you won’t speak, I will."
Bai Ruo Xin ignored Lu Qingxian’s threat.
She knew that if Yi Chen signed this contract, it could genuinely benefit all of humanity.
She also understood that the fate of the Revival Army was likely in the hands of the council.
But she simply did not want Yi Chen to make decisions he might regret in the future without sufficient information.
"You are insane!"
Even with Lu Qingxian’s temperament, he felt an intense hatred.
Yet, he was powerless to change the situation.
The remnants of Yi Tenglóng were all madmen.
The people they raised were likewise madmen who did not understand how to weigh advantages and disadvantages.
In this case, if Yi Chen signed the contract, it was obviously mutually beneficial.
Even the Revival Army would still gain from it.
After all, once the truth emerged later, Yi Chen would be forced to forgive the human federation and gradually accept the reality.
Naturally, he would not blame the Revival Army, which had fully pledged loyalty to him now.
It was frustrating that Bai Zhenshan’s granddaughter would ignore the pros and cons and threats during such a critical moment, all for a ridiculous reason.
Bai Zhenshan was a madman, and Yi Tenglóng had been dead for decades, yet he still foolishly hoped to lead the Revival Army in fulfilling Yi Tenglóng’s last wishes.
Bai Zhenshan’s granddaughter was just as crazy.
Clearly, everyone stood to gain immensely, yet she was determined to ensure that Yi Chen made a decision he wouldn’t regret, disregarding the risks and threats, and insisted on revealing the truth early on.
Had they known this would happen, they would have never kept the Revival Army around.
Long ago, the council discovered the location of the Revival Army’s headquarters.
They had left it alone because Yi Tenglóng once slaughtered an entire planet of Angelic Beings out of anger, causing the entire Angelic Tribe to hate him to the core.
The council had kept the Revival Army for two reasons: first, the remnants of the Revival Army posed no significant threat; second, if the human federation ever needed to negotiate with the Angelic Tribe, they could use the Revival Army as a bargaining chip to vent their frustrations.
After Yi Chen emerged, the council had indeed considered eliminating the Revival Army to prevent future troubles.
But they worried that if Yi Chen learned of this after joining the human federation, he might retaliate against the families and forces behind the council’s leaders, so they chose to keep them instead.
Yet, they never expected that keeping them would lead to such significant trouble and uncertainty.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Yi Chen, and began, "Actually, I haven’t hidden anything from the Country Lord. I already mentioned that the entire galaxy is under the monitoring system of our human federation."
"The skills created by the Country Lord were known to us from the beginning, and the people have been practicing them all along…”
A sharp glare flashed in Yi Chen’s eyes.
His expression gradually darkened.
"Are you saying that you have been monitoring my every move all the time? Moreover, without my consent, you released the skills I created to the public?"
Lu Qingxian’s words, though still vague, made Yi Chen feel a growing sense of being watched after he refined his divine consciousness. He immediately guessed the general situation.
"This…"
Lu Qingxian sensed Yi Chen’s Killing Intent and hesitated to continue speaking.
"Continue!"
Yi Chen coldly looked at Bai Ruo Xin.
Bai Ruo Xin’s heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
Gathering her courage, she explained, "Initially, it was a livestream show that discovered the Country Lord. You can understand a livestream show as a performance to entertain an audience."
"The content of this livestream basically allowed many people to peep into others’ daily lives."
"According to federal law, individuals on an exile planet have no human rights."
"The Country Lord was one of the selected targets. During that time, the human federation focused on technology, and although there was some research on personal strength, it was negligible."
"Once they discovered that the Country Lord’s cultivation method could greatly extend life and evolve humanity, the public began to steal the techniques."
"The human federation’s large battleship scanners in space outside the exile planet could only scan the spirit power circulation within the Country Lord’s body and could not detect the methods and principles of techniques."
"Thus, after the Country Lord created the Cloud Treading Technique, the human federation sent a batch of heavy criminals to the exile planet."
"Among them, individuals from the parliament and military mixed in with the intent to approach and control the Country Lord to obtain various skills quickly."
"For some unknown reason, many people from various forces infiltrated as well, including the Angelic Beings assassin who attempted to assassinate the Country Lord."
Yi Chen suddenly looked at Lu Qingxian.
The air in the main hall became incredibly tense due to his intense Killing Intent.
The Truman Show!
Even with his remarkable composure, he nearly laughed out of anger.
He could never have imagined that he had unknowingly been living in a Truman Show for seven years.
For seven years, he had been watched like a show, surrounded by various actors.
Even more pitiful than Truman.
While the public stole from his created techniques to gain longer lives and greater powers, they not only lacked gratitude but even attempted to send people to deceive and control him.
The human federation was utterly exceptional from top to bottom.
Previously, he had been willing to help the human federation achieve its goals, thinking they were fellow humans, even without gaining anything in return.
But they did not see him as one of their own.
He was merely a fool with no rights, who could be easily deceived to gain more benefits after providing immense advantages.
"Well, our human federation does owe the Country Lord quite a bit. However, we have also provided many Comprehension Stones and other resources to the Country Lord as compensation."
Lu Qingxian explained, "To reach a reconciliation and gain the Country Lord’s understanding, we even offered an astounding series of benefits and honors, including two hundred trillion federation coins, royal privileges, and two parliamentary seats."
"Is it a lot?"
Yi Chen quietly stared at Lu Qingxian.
The anger in his heart boiled like a volcano, only held back by his forced restraint.
These bargaining chips used to be significant, even making him marvel at the federation parliament’s generosity.
But now, knowing the truth, these offers meant nothing to him.
Only by destroying the entire human federation could his heart’s hatred be resolved.
"That…"
Lu Qingxian was somewhat flustered, unsure how to continue.
On the large transport ship, the leaders from the parliament and military were equally disoriented.
While the federation’s citizens were unaware of the bargaining process, they saw everything clearly through the virtual image of Lu Qingxian with the communicator.
Yi Chen’s meaning and attitude clearly indicated that no matter how high the compensation offered, he would not reconcile with the human federation.
This completely contradicted their expectations, leaving them at a loss for what to do.
If they truly could not reach a reconciliation, how could they continue to learn the new skills created by Yi Chen? How could they become the vassals of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe?
