Chapter 660: The Soul Emperor Receives News

“Shadow King, we can nearly notify the Soul Clan now!”

After the Large Battleship made its first Space Jump, Yi Chen continued to extract Bunier’s luck while communicating with the Shadow King.

“Alright!”

The Shadow King responded and took out a Space Stone, then retrieved a communication stone to send a voice communication request to the Soul Emperor.

…

Fog Cloud Star System.

A star system located over two million light-years away from the Milky Way.

In the entire star cluster, among fifty star systems, the Fog Cloud Star System can only be considered a medium-small star system.

However, compared to the Tianling Star Cluster, which was developed by the Great Flame Empire, it is quite larger.

The Fog Cloud Star System has around one hundred fifty thousand life planets in total.

After careful research, the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan chose the Fog Cloud Star System as their development base.

Initially, the Soul Emperor and the high-ranking leaders of the Soul Clan planned to use the Milky Way as their development base.

The main reason was that it was the origin of the Soul Clan, as they were once the rulers of the Milky Way two hundred million years ago.

Even though the Milky Way has gone through a cycle of rebirth and changes over the past two hundred million years, it no longer resembles what it was back then. However, both the high-ranking Soul Clan members and ordinary members preferred developing in the Milky Way.

The second major reason was that the new rulers of the Milky Way, humanity, had begun shifting from technological civilization to cultivating civilization, making them an excellent host for the Soul Clan.

Unfortunately, the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan ultimately decided to leave the Milky Way and find a small star system to start their development.

Their reason was quite similar to Yi Chen’s and the Great Flame Empire’s.

The existence of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe hung over them like a Damocles sword, ready to strike down at any moment.

Being forced to move, Yi Chen led the Great Flame Empire far away to the Tianling Star Cluster.

In contrast, the Soul Emperor and the Soul Kings brought the Soul Clan to the Fog Cloud Star System.

The difference was that Yi Chen was more cautious; in an effort to delay detection as much as possible, he chose a distant small star system with no major powers nearby.

The Soul Emperor and Soul Kings were bolder.

They did not want their development speed to be too slow, so they chose the Fog Cloud Star System, which, while still a good distance from the Milky Way, was a medium-small star system.

Moreover, the Fog Cloud Star System had dominant races present.

The Fog Cloud Clan was one of the twenty-one dominant races in this star cluster.

The reason the Soul Emperor and Soul Kings felt braver than Yi Chen, who possessed a god-level talent system, was that they had the qualifications to be bold.

First, their current strength was sufficient.

Although the Fog Cloud Clan was one of the dominant races in the star cluster, their strongest leader was only level one hundred fifty.

After merging with the body of a one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, the Soul Emperor’s strength had reached the level of a two hundred level strong fighter.

The Soul Kings, after merging with the bodies of one hundred eighty level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters, also possessed strength around level one hundred eighty.

With such strength, any one of them could easily sweep through the entire Fog Cloud Clan.

The Soul Clan did exactly this.

As soon as they arrived in the Fog Cloud Star System, they swiftly conquered one life planet after another with overwhelming force, turning all the powerful beings from the Fog Cloud Clan into hosts.

No matter whether the Fog Cloud Clan sent strong warriors to attack or led their armies to assault, they faced defeat each time.

The only thing limiting the development of the Soul Clan was their insufficient population.

With only over a billion people left, the Soul Clan could not expand rapidly on a large scale, and they did not want to reveal their identity too quickly, so the Fog Cloud Clan would know that the Soul Clan had arrived in the Fog Cloud Star System. They used their bodies to rule and occupy the life planets.

Thus, up to now, the Fog Cloud Clan still did not realize that the Soul Clan had come to develop in the Fog Cloud Star System; they thought it was just a few disappearing high-ranking members of the Fog Cloud Clan who had gained some incredible opportunity, greatly increasing their strength, leading them to rebel against the Fog Cloud Clan and seize control.

Because of this, the number of life planets the Soul Clan controlled was only about a thousand.

The reason the Soul Emperor and the Soul Kings felt bolder than Yi Chen, who possessed a god-level talent system, was that they had started to feel a bit too confident.

They even believed that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was a strong race that provided them with benefits.

It was no wonder they felt so confident.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe had indeed been supplying them with advantages.

The first Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy brought them a body that significantly increased the Soul Emperor’s strength.

Although the second Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy did not provide any benefits to the Soul Clan, as a powerful being who could easily crush the entire Soul Clan, he was taken down by the joint efforts of the Soul Emperor and the Shadow King.

The third Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, Morris, provided the Soul Clan with a one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe body and hundreds of bodies ranging from level one hundred fifty to level one hundred eighty, further boosting the strength of the Soul Emperor and the Soul Kings.

Experiencing a stroke of luck and gaining significant upgrades once or twice in desperate times can be seen as coincidence.

But three times? That becomes unexplainable.

It could only be attributed to that mysterious and profound luck.

Because of this, the Soul Emperor and the Soul Kings regarded the Tree-Dwelling Tribe as a source of wealth.

Even though they all knew how immensely powerful the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was, they found it hard to genuinely fear them.

Deep down, they even hoped that the human federation would discover the Soul Clan’s whereabouts, prompting the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s powerful beings to come to them, bringing even more powerful bodies.

However, since this concerns the safety of the entire Soul Clan, they did not dare to provoke the Tree-Dwelling Tribe simply because their luck had been good, managing to restrain the Tree-Dwelling Tribe each time.

Yet, their caution regarding the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was not as intense as Yi Chen’s.

When the Shadow King sent a communication request to the Soul Emperor, the Soul Emperor was practicing various attacking and defensive methods of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe in outer space.

Having obtained the body of a Tree-Dwelling Tribe member and successfully acquired their memories, the Soul Emperor could control the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s body for his training.

But even with mid-grade immortal stones to assist his cultivation, the body he controlled was subject to the laws of heaven in this star cluster, preventing any breakthroughs.

Thus, each day, he could only practice various abilities and techniques of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to improve his physical strength as much as possible.

Upon sensing the vibration of the communication stone, he paused his training and took the communication stone from his Space Stone.

When he perceived that it was a communication request from the Shadow King, he immediately showed a look of great joy.

For these past years, he had been actively prompting the Shadow King to contact him.

Unfortunately, the Shadow King had ignored him all this time.

This had left him quite dissatisfied with the Shadow King.

Even though the Shadow King had helped save the Soul Clan, the Soul Emperor’s strength had now surpassed that of the Shadow King.

However, the Shadow King excelled in stealth techniques and had information that was far more accessible.

With the Shadow King’s strength, it was easier for him to counter the strong beings of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, which was why he had endured his frustrations.

When the Shadow King suddenly contacted him, in his view, it clearly indicated that there was news regarding the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to share.

While having no news was the best news, subconsciously, the Soul Emperor still considered the Tree-Dwelling Tribe as a source of wealth, believing that even bad news could turn into greater opportunities for him.

Moreover, if it could help strengthen his relationship with the Shadow King further, it would be a double joy.
