Chapter 339: Worthy of Deep Connections
A day later, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, now only a spirit, arrived at Flying Snow Planet with a negotiation expert from the human federation.
Morris did not come out to greet them; he just sent a subordinate to bring them over.
Although both were envoys sent to the human federation, their status within the foreign affairs department was worlds apart.
“To end up losing your physical body in such a small place as the outer star clusters really embarrasses the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”
The sharp-tongued Morris, despite planning to ask the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy about the Shadow King’s information, couldn’t resist making a sarcastic remark.
“Thank you for your guidance, Lord Morris.”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy didn’t dare to retort; he even expressed his thanks.
What he thought in his heart, however, was another matter.
Truthfully, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy felt a bit relieved and even proud.
To be sent as an envoy to an outer star cluster of such low status, to gain nothing but lose his physical body while owing a debt to the human federation was indeed quite embarrassing and unfortunate.
Without comparison, the envoy would have been frustrated for tens of thousands of years even if he found a talented individual to possess.
But the problem was there was someone even more unfortunate: Ketes.
This second envoy from the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, who had barely entered the ranks of the strong and possessed territory, had faced complete annihilation of his spirit after visiting the star cluster.
When compared, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy couldn’t help but feel some relief.
At the very least, he had only lost his physical body, and if he found a genius without background to possess, the worst outcome would be stagnation in strength realm.
Ketes, a strong member whose spirit had been fully annihilated, was level two hundred, while the envoy was around level one hundred seventy and merely lost his physical form, feeling somewhat proud about it.
As for this third envoy, who had stronger power, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy had an ominous feeling that visiting the star cluster would not mean good days ahead for him.
After all, the strongest member of humanity gave him the sense that even with great strength, it was someone you couldn’t provoke.
He merely wanted to obtain Yi Chen’s calamity fruit and had prepared to compensate Yi Chen in advance, but ended up losing his physical body.
When Ketes first arrived, he had pressured Yi Chen using his authority but later rectified his mistake and had a good attitude. Yet, he still faced annihilation of his spirit.
The current envoy, however, could very likely be entirely opposed to Yi Chen.
After all, his purpose was to facilitate connections between the Federal Parliament and the Military and persuade Morris to pressure Yi Chen.
“You came to see me, what do you want?”
Morris, disinterested in wasting time, went straight to the point.
As for the human federation negotiation expert beside him, he hadn’t even spared a glance from beginning to end.
“Sir, I came here mainly to introduce the relationship between the human federation and the strongest members of humanity…”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy began, “The human federation does not have the death penalty, but due to some heavy criminals of extremely important identities needing strict supervision, a life planet in the center of a cosmic storm zone has been designated as an exile planet to banish some of these special identity heavy criminals.”
“The strongest member of humanity hails from this exile planet. I believe you have seen the documentation of the human federation and know that their path is not based on personal strength.”
“Initially, this strongest member of humanity did not attract attention; perhaps due to the immense pressure of survival, his talents gradually began to show…”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy briefly introduced the grudges and conflicts between Yi Chen and the human federation, along with their irreconcilable points of contention.
He subtly hinted at his intentions: “Now, the strongest member of humanity represents all humanity and has signed a loyalty contract with our Tree-Dwelling Tribe. However, the true power lies with the Federal Parliament.”
“The Federal Parliament fears that the strongest member of humanity will seize control of the human federation and wants to sign a contract similar to a loyalty agreement with him. However, the strongest member still harbors resentment and has refused to compromise or reconcile, leading to a stalemate between the two parties.”
Although Morris was sharp-tongued and greedy, he was no fool.
He immediately understood.
This was an attempt to buy him as a mediator between the two sides and fully align with the Federal Parliament to suppress the strongest member of humanity.
“My task this time is to obtain the signed contract from the strongest member of humanity while suppressing the Shadow King of the Shadow Clan. The internal conflicts among humanity are of no concern to me; they can resolve it themselves.”
Morris replied coldly.
The subtext was easily understood.
The Federal Parliament had no right to buy him as a mediator.
His gaze at the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy was filled with disdain.
Though his strength realm was lacking, he was still a significant presence dominating the star cluster and also a middle-level member of the foreign affairs department.
To think he could be bought by a mere Federal Parliament and come here to act as a bridge was simply humiliating.
What he didn’t know was that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy not only had been bought by the Federal Parliament but also concealed many important pieces of information.
The two most important points being that he sensed this strongest member of humanity’s fortune might have reached an unbelievable level, and that this strongest member had advanced rapidly and successfully overcome tribulations in just over ten years.
The Federal Parliament had not reported that Yi Chen had successfully overcome tribulations.
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy also did not report that Ketes had drastically changed his attitude after seeing Yi Chen’s talent.
The foreign affairs department only knew that Yi Chen had tremendous talent, having created a unique Cultivation Method in less than ten years, advancing his strength realm to over ninety.
But there was a world of difference between being level ninety-nine and successfully overcoming tribulations, being the first in all humanity to do so.
By concealing these two key pieces of information, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy had completely aligned himself against Yi Chen.
Yet he was helpless.
He owed a tremendous debt of karma to the human federation.
At the same time, he had benefited greatly from the human federation.
He could only gamble, hoping that merely standing on the opposite side of Yi Chen wouldn’t significantly affect him.
“Sir, the human federation is located outside the super star cluster and is lacking in resources. Although we may receive support from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe in the future, we also wish to set up an additional pathway to obtain resources.”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy pretended not to notice Morris’s disdain. A Space Stone flew toward Morris from his spirit:
“I have learned that you have a profitable coliseum on Sirree Planet, and the Federal Parliament wants to invest in it. They have gathered a batch of higher-grade immortal stones, and the ratio is up to you.”
“Higher-quality immortal stones?”
Morris was somewhat tempted.
His Perception Ability entered the Space Stone, revealing over a million high-quality immortal stones piled inside.
Not an enormous amount, but certainly not too little.
At least, it was much more valuable than a mosquito’s leg.
With the resources of the human federation, exchanging for this batch of high-quality immortal stones would be nothing short of sacrificing flesh.
“If you are willing to support the future development of the human federation, the Federal Parliament would also like to invest over fifty percent of the resources and treasures we acquire into the coliseum after receiving assistance from our Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy added.
Morris’s eyes lit up; the Federal Parliament was quite generous!
They could be a worthy ally!
