Chapter 723: Shock Among the Tribes

“Is this real?”

As the elder found no flaws or loopholes in the information transmitted through the communication stone, the Leader of the Ten-Armed Tribe also struggled to believe it.

The speed of development of Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire was simply beyond his understanding.

Moreover, he was aware that Yi Chen was hailed as the greatest genius in the history of this star cluster, and the human federation had previously increased their average cultivation level by stealing the skills created by Yi Chen.

After much hesitation, the Leader of the Ten-Armed Tribe took out the communication stone and contacted the strongest members of other dominant races, informing them to convene an important meeting.

Soon, twenty powerful figures from the dominant races in the star cluster gathered together.

The Leader of the Ten-Armed Tribe said nothing and directly displayed the collected information data for everyone to see.

Wow…

The conference room erupted in an uproar.

Although all present were leaders of their own tribes, they could not contain their emotions upon seeing the information.

"This is impossible! Yi Chen is indeed the greatest genius in this star cluster without a doubt. But even so, he couldn’t possibly elevate the Great Flame Empire to such heights in just over ten years!”

“Yes! More than ten years ago, the Great Flame Empire was merely a barbaric nation on an exile planet with a population of only ten million, and it had not even fully unified the exile planet.”

“In just over ten years, they leapfrogged to become such a colossus sweeping the entire star cluster; this is absolutely impossible.”

“Keep in mind, Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire had to keep this from the human federation and our tribes.”

“If the Great Flame Empire was truly the Great Flame Kingdom created by Yi Chen, why have the Undying Race found no traces at all when he rose in the Tianling Star Cluster?”

“Exactly! Undying King, you should know best whether or not it’s true. I remember you mentioned two thousand years ago about a powerful force called the Great Flame Empire rising in the Tianling Star Cluster, which even had an assassination team capable of silently killing the strong. By all rights, you should know the details of this Great Flame Empire.”

The incredulous strong members of various tribes turned their gazes toward the Undying King.

The Undying King sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly, “The Great Flame Empire maintains a very strict information blockade, and by the time the empire rose, Duke Farah, who remained in the Tianling Star Cluster, had already shrunk their defenses and completely abandoned control over the Tianling Star Cluster.”

“Additionally, the main forces of the Great Flame Empire consist of the conquered tribes, while the empire itself only has a meager one to two million soldiers, all operating under the banner of the Black Tiger Tribe. Until the Great Flame Empire swept through most of the Tianling Star Cluster, all the tribes believed it to have been created by the Black Tiger Tribe.”

“In the Tianling Star Cluster, the various tribes are only aware of three terrifying aspects of the Great Flame Empire: one is their ability to mobilize troops over a wide distance, another is their powerful assassination team capable of destroying all the strong members of a tribe, and the third is their law-based attack ability from afar.”

The gathered strongest members fell into silence.

After a long while, one of them spoke up, “Although it’s hard to believe, the rise of the Great Flame Empire, combined with the information data and footage before us, and the three terrifying aspects of the empire, all present compelling evidence that the Great Flame Empire is indeed the Great Flame Kingdom created by Yi Chen.”

The strongest members nodded slightly.

The three terrifying aspects, particularly the ability to mobilize troops over a distance, undoubtedly indicated that Yi Chen had acquired a significant number of battleships through various means.

This was not an exceptionally difficult task.

Although the human federation strictly controlled battleships, the sheer number of battleships was incalculable, and it was impossible to completely prevent them from leaking out.

The various tribes held onto a small number of battleships to varying extents.

However, this number pales in comparison to the total number of battleships in the human federation.

In comparison, acquiring battleships was evidently much easier for Yi Chen than for the other tribes.

After all, he and the citizens of the Great Flame Kingdom were part of humanity.

Moreover, Yi Chen was also the nominal leader of the largest rebellion force, the Revival Army, against the human federation.

Securing a batch of large battleships and modifying them so that they remain undetected by the human federation’s monitoring is not difficult at all.

As for the assassination team, that is also easy to explain.

Years ago, Yi Chen quietly vanished from the exile planet with the entire population of the Great Flame Kingdom.

To achieve this, Yi Chen must have passed through the Federation Military’s large Defense Systems without anyone noticing, all while possessing artifacts capable of holding millions of lives.

These two points undoubtedly highlight the origins of the Great Flame Empire’s assassination team.

Moreover, the powerful long-range attack capabilities had been demonstrated by the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe long ago using the Method of All Laws.

However, back then, their power and range were nowhere near as formidable as they are now.

With various information and video clips collected by the Ten-Armed Tribe, it becomes clear without a doubt that the Great Flame Empire is the Great Flame Kingdom created by Yi Chen.

The strongest evidence lies in the fact that aside from Yi Chen, no other strongest member of any tribe could lead a race to unite an entire star cluster within just over ten years.

“I must say, this strongest member of humanity is the greatest genius in the history of this star cluster. His talent goes beyond understanding. His intellect, strategies, and courage are equally astonishing,” the Emperor of the Wind-Walking Tribe remarked in amazement.

These words resonated with all the strong members present, prompting them to nod in agreement.

“And his ambition! It was well-known during the exile planet era that he harbored grand ambitions. But now, his ambition is so great that even the seemingly indomitable Tree-Dwelling Tribe is willing to accept humanity as vassal races, and yet he doesn’t even regard them!”

“Not only does he refuse to become a vassal of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, but he even cunningly played tricks on them to hide and develop power in secret.”

“You must understand, when he suddenly vanished with the Great Flame Kingdom, everyone, including those from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, assumed he had signed a contract, wanting to bypass the Federal Parliament and the Military’s High-ranking Leaders to connect directly with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe. Many even speculated that he would seize a large battleship and head straight for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”

“Who could have guessed that he not only did not sign a contract but also had no intention of becoming a vassal? He was audacious enough to lurk in the Tianling Star Cluster, secretly expanding his influence.”

“That’s why I say his courage is beyond imagination.”

“The most astonishing part is that he actually accomplished it. He not only evaded the human federation’s searches but also unified the entire Tianling Star Cluster under the Great Flame Empire.”

“According to the information, the Great Flame Empire is currently in a period of consolidation, with the various tribes under its rule sharpening their swords and preparing to expand to nearby star clusters.”

“Doesn’t this also demonstrate that his ambitions are beyond belief?”

The strongest members of various tribes felt a surge of admiration welling up inside them.

He is simply incredible!

What they envied the most was how the human federation struck lucky and attached itself to the mighty Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

What they yearned for was the day they could cling to a leg as sturdy as the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s.

Looking at this greatest genius in the history of the star cluster, during his humble beginnings, when he couldn’t even defeat a single strong member of any tribe, he disdainfully refused to be a vassal of any tribe, not even the overwhelmingly powerful Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

He even went so far as to play tricks on the colossal Tree-Dwelling Tribe and quietly escape from the exile planet.

Just this ambition and vision are leagues beyond their reach.

More importantly, those who are arrogant and delusional are as plentiful as fish crossing a river.

This strongest member of humanity is the only one whose abilities and talents can match his ambition and vision.
