Chapter 284: All About Interests
“Breakthrough! Yi Chen has broken through to the max level!”
“Oh my! Is breaking through to the max level really that terrifying? According to the repair gene, his lifespan cap has reached ten million.”
“And after he shattered the first lightning with One Sword, when he opened the energy shield and allowed the energies of heaven and earth to transform his body, his lifespan cap was only over sixty thousand, nearly increasing by two hundred times!”
“Compared to the heart tribulation, this Divine trial is simply a mix of risks and rewards.”
“If it were us, even if the difficulty dropped significantly, the benefits would also be greatly reduced, but at least our lifespans could still reach the million mark, right?”
“It’s not just about lifespan, but also physical strength. Yi Chen’s current physical strength has reached an unimaginable level.”
“This is true evolution; Yi Chen now belongs to a higher level of humanity.”
In the live room, all the citizens of the federation felt like they were going insane.
No one expected that the nine divine lightning strikes would bring such terrifying benefits to Yi Chen.
If one day they could also break through to the max level, just the thought of exceeding a million years of lifespan would drive anyone crazy.
“Honestly, if we put ourselves in his shoes, Yi Chen is the greatest genius in human history. His ideas being different from ours is only natural; it’s also normal for his pride to surpass our imaginations.”
“From his rise to now, many of his decisions have been hard for us to understand and have been quite unexpected, which is the best proof.”
“Therefore, in the face of immense pressure, no matter how high the conditions we offer from the human federation, he still refuses to reconcile. In our eyes, he seems petty and selfish, but what’s the reality?”
“Maybe it’s just that we ordinary people can’t understand the thoughts of a genius at his level.”
In the live room, a viewer couldn’t help but express their feelings.
“Indeed, long ago, no one could predict Yi Chen’s decisions. Judging a genius like Yi Chen with an ordinary person’s mindset is certainly unfair.”
“No matter what Yi Chen’s attitude is, his contributions to the human federation cannot be compensated by any conditions.”
“I think the parliament should show better attitudes and sincerity to resolve Yi Chen’s dissatisfaction and hatred.”
“Exactly! For what Yi Chen has contributed to our human federation, any form of compensation is warranted.”
“Earlier, after watching Lu Qingxian kneel and cry in the video, I felt a bit sympathetic towards him, thinking Yi Chen was being excessive. After all, Lu Qingxian is our highest official in the human federation.”
“But now, I actually feel that Lu Qingxian shows no sincerity at all.”
“Not just a little sincerity, it’s truly excessive. To confront Yi Chen and negotiate, he only sent a virtual image instead of coming in person; who does he think he is?”
“He is indeed the president of our Federal Parliament, but he should also realize who Yi Chen is! For the contributions Yi Chen has made to the human federation, he should have come in person and respectfully paid his respects, just like the high-ranking officials from the Great Flame Kingdom.”
“After all, if Yi Chen accepts the conditions, he will also be the only royal family of our human federation.”
“Not just Lu Qingxian; I think all the High-ranking Leaders from the parliament and all the military leaders should personally visit to show their respect to Yi Chen.”
“I really suspect that the main reason Yi Chen refuses to reconcile is that he hasn’t felt the respect he deserves from our human federation.”
Suddenly, the sentiment in the live room began to change.
The citizens of the federation’s dissatisfaction with Yi Chen seemingly vanished into thin air.
Voices calling for accountability for the parliament and military rose one after another.
No matter how the parliament staff tried to guide the conversation, they couldn’t reverse the tide.
The parliament quickly decided to temporarily abandon their attempt at guidance.
There was no way to move forward.
Everything was about interests.
And the interests were vast, almost unimaginable.
The ordinary citizens had previously hoped that Yi Chen would quickly reach a reconciliation and join the human federation.
The first reason was that Yi Chen had indeed made great contributions to the human federation.
In the eyes of the federation’s citizens, he was the pride and glory of all humanity.
Reaching a reconciliation with Yi Chen and gaining his understanding would make them feel at ease.
The second reason was that Yi Chen’s joining the human federation would allow national evolution to continue.
Otherwise, relying on generations of tradition and accumulation would take far too long.
Reaching a reconciliation with Yi Chen would have a huge boosting effect on the development and strength of the human federation.
The third reason was that the citizens’ talents were too low; they needed to rely on Boundary-Breaking Pills and other spirit pills to advance as rapidly as the citizens of the Great Flame Kingdom.
However, Yi Chen had yet to reveal or teach his potion-making technique.
Due to these reasons, the federation’s citizens did not mind the parliament offering shocking conditions in an attempt to reconcile with Yi Chen.
But these reasons were: the first was a matter of spirit; the second was for collective interest.
Only the third concern was directly related to the everyday interests of the ordinary citizens.
However, ordinary citizens, limited by their talent, could only reach the peak of the ninth level of Spirit Law.
Even if they received the Comprehension Stone allocated by the parliament in the future, it would only raise their cap to the first stage or second stage of spirit consciousness.
The various astounding conditions the parliament provided would ultimately fall upon the shoulders of the ordinary citizens to bear and share.
With Yi Chen still unwilling to agree, and potentially needing to offer even more, the federation’s citizens began to feel some resistance.
Also, driven by the parliament’s guidance, they naturally harbored discontent, feeling that Yi Chen was being unreasonable.
The sudden shift in their attitude stemmed from the immense benefits of overcoming tribulations.
In the eyes of the federation citizens, a lifespan cap exceeding a million years was almost equivalent to immortality.
Despite the talent limits determining that overcoming tribulations and evolving into a higher-level humanity were not very relevant to ordinary citizens,
there remained the chance of obtaining high-quality spirit materials that could significantly enhance one’s talent, potentially placing them among the top geniuses.
This probability might be minuscule, but it still represented hope.
Spending a small amount of money for a chance at instant wealth might cause some hesitation,
but investing a certain price, under the premise of already having benefits, for a chance at immortality would leave no one hesitant.
This was the root of the sudden shift in sentiment.
Not only would people be willing to pay a certain cost in wealth, but many would also gamble their lives for a shot at immortality.
“Yi Chen, the first person in human history to evolve into a higher-level humanity!”
“With a lifespan cap of ten million years, how many astonishing skills can Yi Chen create?”
“If Yi Chen joins the human federation, the potential of the human federation will be immeasurable under his guidance!”
“In ten million years, perhaps our human federation can become a powerful race like the Tree-Dwelling Tribe!”
“Do not measure Yi Chen with the mindset of ordinary people; that is a desecration. He is a unique existence in our humanity!”
All major media outlets quickly seized the hot topic and turned the tide.
Media was held in the hands of the parliament, but also in the hands of the wealthy.
Even ordinary citizens were caught in a frenzy, not to mention the wealthy.
They could acquire more resources, enabling them to become top geniuses, with immortality and evolution into a higher life form within their grasp.
How to choose required no consideration at all.
