Chapter 63: Yi Chen’s Desire for Power
"Unbelievable! Some geniuses always have thoughts and ideas that transcend their time, and Yi Chen is one of them."
"Absolutely! Not only does he have unprecedented talent in cultivating and creating skills, but he also proves to be a rare genius in domestic affairs."
"It’s no wonder the skills Yi Chen created astonished us. Although we are in the Primitive Era, his vision has already surpassed the stars and time itself."
The audience in the live room was utterly shocked.
No one expected that Yi Chen, who usually ignored political matters and allowed the high priest to act freely, would showcase such a brilliant idea.
He seldom took action, but when he did, it was a groundbreaking move that changed everything.
This decision seemed simple, merely altering the tribe’s food distribution system.
Yet, it fundamentally transformed the entire tribal civilization.
It pushed the tribal civilization toward the early stages of a national civilization.
The root of everything lay in the spirit stone.
Yi Chen directly treated the spirit stone as currency to be circulated.
At the same time, he shifted the original structure of the tribe, turning it from a unified whole into one based on families, distributing according to labor.
"The exile planet has existed for over two thousand years, and various tribes have been born during this time."
"In these two thousand years, many exceptionally talented individuals emerged from the major tribes on the exile planet. Not to mention, some infamous heavy criminals were also sent here. For instance, Yi Chen’s grandfather, Nine-Star General Yi Tenglóng, was one of them."
"However, whether local talents or prominent figures like Nine-Star General Yi Tenglóng, they could easily become tribal leaders through their abilities and intellect."
"They could also establish a series of policies that might lead to tremendous changes in the tribe, even resolving the greatest challenge of food shortages in the Primitive Era."
"But no one could directly identify the core issues like Yi Chen and initiate a complete upheaval of tribal civilization, ushering it into the ranks of national civilization."
One audience member remarked, "I remember that Nine-Star General Yi Tenglóng, after unifying the entire Green Grass Tribe, attempted to shift its heritage from strength-based to bloodline-based."
"Unfortunately, he ultimately failed. Although Yi Chen’s father ascended as the leader of the Green Grass Tribe, he was replaced within a few years. Yi Chen, on the other hand, was expelled from the tribe due to his frail body and inability to hunt."
"I think the root of the failure lies in Yi Tenglóng’s constant promotion of bloodline inheritance, which indeed influenced a generation’s thoughts but failed to change the tribe’s structure."
"Yi Tenglóng did not identify the core issue. The biggest obstacle to bloodline inheritance was the warriors of the various tribes."
"And the only force that could restrain the warriors was the tribe members. No matter how powerful a warrior is, they cannot take on a hundred opponents alone."
As this statement was made, countless people immediately agreed and engaged in discussions.
"I believe Yi Tenglóng’s failure stemmed from his inability to firmly hold onto the tribe’s food distribution rights."
"Moreover, he failed to subtly instill in all tribe members that the tribal chief had the authority to allocate food freely, rather than simply rewarding those who hunted the most or contributed the most during the hunt."
"Only by firmly grasping the power of food distribution can an heir, even if lacking in strength, control a loyal group through unfair food allocation."
"Yi Chen treating the spirit stone mine as his personal property and promoting the spirit stone as currency, along with reforming the entire tribe’s system, is a significant advancement."
"It can be said that among the talented individuals arising from the two-thousand-year history of the exile planet, their vision and thinking are two levels higher than ordinary tribe members. Yet, Yi Chen’s vision surpasses them by at least five levels."
"If he leaves the exile planet and joins our human federation, I would definitely nominate him as the president of the council."
"Exactly! If Yi Chen were to join our human federation, all he would need is a few years to familiarize himself with the federation’s system and understand our current situation, he could absolutely lead the council to new heights."
Everyone believed that with Yi Chen’s vision and intellect, he would shine brightly even in the human federation of the interstellar era.
A clear-headed person stepped forward.
"Let’s all take it easy! If one day Yi Chen leaves the exile planet and joins our human federation, we can place him on a pedestal, but we cannot allow him to hold any power."
"Don’t forget, Yi Chen was already plotting and planning to seize the chieftain position as soon as he knew about the Flame Mountain Tribe."
"The very next day after becoming the chieftain, he nearly incapacitated the high priest, forbidding any deity above him in the tribe. He even had the high priest elevate him to the pedestal."
"Although Yi Chen holds the position of chieftain, he has hardly enjoyed any of the privileges that come with it. Yet, his desire for power has reached an incomprehensible level."
"At this stage, he may not need the privileges that power brings, but he likes the supreme authority that combines political and divine power."
As these words were spoken, the entire live room fell silent.
The human federation has a history of nearly ten thousand years, and everyone deeply identifies with this system.
No one wants a figure who can dictate their life and destiny without following the law to exist in this world.
Nor does anyone wish for an additional ruler looming over them.
…
In the valley,
Yi Chen wandered while considering other policies.
"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now! You go back to what you were doing."
After a long time, he ultimately decided to pause the policies on education, reproduction, and people’s livelihoods for the moment.
Treating the spirit stone as currency and altering the tribe’s system is already a significant step.
If he continues to push forward, contradictions will undoubtedly arise, and the high priest will not be able to handle them.
At that point, he would have to step in personally and spend a lot of time resolving various conflicts.
It’s just that the Green Grass Tribe had recently merged with the Flame Mountain Tribe, and everything needs adjustment.
Family matters have too many details.
He wouldn’t be able to keep up.
Most importantly, even combined, the population of the Flame Mountain Tribe and the Green Grass Tribe is only around three thousand five to six hundred.
Everything can progress gradually. Even taking larger steps will not lead to significant results.
Just like in terms of reproduction.
This is the most important means to increase the population.
For this reason, Yi Chen has no problem establishing a rule: any family that has a child will receive a generous reward.
However, this brings a series of details that need to be developed and a range of side effects to be dealt with, affecting many aspects.
With the population of the tribe being small and not enough talent to refine this plan, he would need to spend a lot of time on it.
"Yes!"
The high priest, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly bowed and left.
In his view, simply exchanging spirit stones for food and finding a way to distribute spirit stones based on labor was enough to make his head explode.
If Yi Chen came up with another sudden idea, he would surely blow up on the spot.
