Chapter 575

“Notify the Shadow King to bring Mares to me!”
After confirming that there were no significant issues in the star cluster, Yi Chen commanded.
“Okay, should I go along as well?”
The Shadow King expressed some concern.
“That works; you can come too!”
Yi Chen pondered for a moment and decided to let the Shadow King join him.
His original plan was for the Shadow King to stay in the star cluster and keep an eye on Morris.
After all, Morris’ actions were very important.
Although the Shadow Clan excels in stealth techniques, they cannot evade Morris’ Perception Ability.
But thinking about it now, it felt safer to have the Shadow King accompany him.
The super star cluster was indeed dangerous for him.
At least if he encountered a strong individual like Morris, who was around level 210, having the Shadow King by his side would ensure his safety.
As for Morris, he was currently busy waiting for the human federation’s battleships to search for Mares.
As long as they didn’t find him, there wouldn’t be any significant issues.
Moreover, after reaching the super star cluster, he could try to set up a teleportation array there.
He’d test whether he could use the teleportation array to return to the star cluster from such a long distance.
If it worked, he could have the Shadow King come back occasionally to check on what Morris was doing.
“Sounds good!”
The Shadow King was delighted.
After ending the call, Yi Chen practiced while waiting.
In just about ten minutes, five Shadow Kings arrived in outer space with Mares, appearing in front of Yi Chen’s flying treasure.
The five Shadow Kings were all very respectful.
Only Mares had a somewhat indifferent attitude.
He could now confirm that the entire Shadow Clan had indeed pledged allegiance to Yi Chen, yet he still could not understand why the Shadow Clan would support Yi Chen and even relocate to this star cluster outside our main region, which only had a level 150 cap.
He also couldn’t comprehend why Yi Chen, who could firmly ally with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, wouldn’t sign a contract with them but instead continued to deceive and avoid the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s emissaries.
After waiting for another half an hour, the Shadow King returned from the Milky Way with Bai Ruo Xin.
“Come on in!”
Yi Chen finally opened the defensive formation of the flying treasure.
The Shadow King controlled Mares’ life and death; if Mares suddenly attacked him, the five Shadow Kings would definitely not be able to stop him.
It was for this reason that he had kept the five Shadow Kings and Mares outside before.
“Yes!”
Bai Ruo Xin and the Shadow King entered the flying treasure first, while the five Shadow Kings looked at Mares.
Mares grunted and stepped into the flying treasure.
Only then did the five Shadow Kings follow closely behind.
“Level 147?”
Although Yi Chen could activate the Shield of Protection at any time to block others from using their Perception Ability to sense his aura, the level 200 Mares could easily detect Yi Chen’s strength realm with his powerful Perception Ability.
This result surprised him greatly.
He remembered that more than half a year ago, Yi Chen was only around level 142.
How had he suddenly broken through to level 147 in just over half a year?
No one answered this question for him.
After Yi Chen reactivated the teleportation array, he continued to train.
The Shadow King stood by, ensuring his safety.
The five Shadow Kings felt they didn’t have the qualifications to speak in front of Yi Chen.
As for Bai Ruo Xin and the Little Gold Ball, they thought Mares’ question was a bit pointless and chose to ignore it.
Mares could only sit in the corner; his massive body, while far larger than everyone else’s, didn’t stand out much in the spacious hall.
After waiting for more than two hours, the Large Battleship was finally ready and officially took off from the blood-colored planet.
Upon entering outer space, the hatch opened.
Bai Ruo Xin controlled the flying treasure and entered the Large Battleship.
With a command, the Large Battleship began to accelerate continuously. Then it activated the Space Jump System, instantly leaving the Tianling Star Cluster and appearing in the endless space between the Tianling Star Cluster and the Undying Star System.
The entire Large Battleship entered a state of faster-than-light speed travel and equipment maintenance.
After more than ten hours, it activated the Space Jump System again, directly passing through the Undying Star System and reaching the star cluster outside our main region.
This process repeated itself as they continued towards the super star cluster.
In just half a month, Yi Chen successfully advanced from the seventh level of the Heaven Fairy Stage to the peak of the eighth level, thanks to his rapidly increasing talent bonus.
Only at the moment of Yi Chen’s breakthrough did Mares begin to vaguely understand why the Shadow Clan supported him.
They even risked migrating to this star cluster outside our main region.
They realized that there was no hope for the Shadow Clan in the super star cluster, and they placed all their bets on Yi Chen.
They were betting that this human genius would one day burst out of the star cluster and advance into the super star cluster.
If the various races in the super star cluster knew of the Shadow Clan’s decision, they would definitely scoff, thinking that the Shadow King and the entire clan had gone mad.
Previously, Mares had the same thought.
It was insane to place the hope of rise and revival in the hands of a small race’s genius in a star cluster outside our main region. Even desperate races would not make such a crazy decision.
It was akin to a small, fallen kingdom on the continent relocating its entire population to a distant island, unable to provide enough resources to support all its citizens, all because there was a genius on that island.
Expecting that genius, while still trapped on the island, to rise one day and achieve great things on the continent, securing a place for the small kingdom.
But now, he somewhat understood the actions of the Shadow King and the Shadow Clan.
Although it still felt a bit absurd, it wasn’t entirely crazy.
Because this human genius had extraordinary talent.
His talent was so strong that even the leader of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would be astonished.
With such a high level of talent, and the ability to lead an entire race to quickly elevate their overall strength, it was indeed worth taking the gamble given the Shadow Clan’s dire situation.
Only then did Mares realize why Yi Chen suddenly wanted to go to the super star cluster.
He had calculated the timing, intending to break through to a higher major realm in the super star cluster.
In fact, as he had anticipated and guessed, only about twenty days later, Yi Chen went from the eighth level of the Heaven Fairy Stage to the peak of the ninth level.
The long journey to the super star cluster was only halfway completed.
After more than half a month, they were about two days away from reaching the super star cluster.
Yi Chen successfully broke through to the peak of the ninth level of the Heaven Fairy Stage.
He was only one step away from breaking through to a higher major realm.
However, the Laws of Heaven and Earth outside the super star cluster were not deep enough for him to advance further.
He had to enter the super star cluster to break through.
They still had about two days, slightly ahead of his expectations.
Yi Chen rarely took two days off for himself, chatting with the Demon Emperor, playing chess with Bai Ruo Xin, or taking the Little Gold Ball to explore nearby strange planets.
Although the Large Battleship maintained faster-than-light speed travel, the Shadow King was fast enough to catch up with the Large Battleship and return them within a short time before it activated the Space Jump System.
Two days later, the Large Battleship matched its scheduled route and time, officially entering the super star cluster.
