Chapter 726: The Regret of the Federal High-ranking Leaders

A day later, a strong member of the Frenzied Tribe, through a fortuitous encounter, obtained detailed information and a Video Clip about the Great Flame Empire.

He was overjoyed and immediately contacted the leader of the Intelligence Organization in the Federation Military related to the Frenzied Tribe, transmitting the data and video to them.

The leader of the Intelligence Organization in the Federation Military was utterly shocked after reviewing the information and footage.

It took him over half an hour to regain his composure before he quickly sent the data and video to the head of the Intelligence Organization.

Another half hour passed.

Marshal Iron Blood called for an emergency meeting.

This intelligence and video were then presented before the High-ranking Leaders of the Federal Parliament and the Military.

The entire conference room fell silent.

All the High-ranking Leaders of the Federal Parliament and Military gaped in disbelief at the constantly changing data and images on the screen.

Yi Chen was still in the star cluster.

Moreover, he had even led the Great Flame Empire to conquer and unify the entire Tianling Star Cluster.

Everyone felt an urge to kneel on the ground and bow respectfully to the screen.

Who could possibly compare with this powerful figure?

Although, theoretically, this individual stood in opposition to the federal High-ranking Leaders, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride associated with his success.

After all, this individual was also a member of humanity.

As members of humanity, it was hard not to feel proud.

They believed that even the leader of the massive Tree-Dwelling Tribe, at the height of its rise, couldn’t possibly shine as brightly as Yi Chen.

After the shock and pride subsided, Lu Qingxian and the other federal High-ranking Leaders finally regained some clarity.

What surged in their hearts was a deep sense of regret.

If only they had known Yi Chen’s potential and talent were of such an extraordinary level, how could they have let him be the ruler of the human federation?

After all, it was evident from the exile planet that Yi Chen was quite kind and benevolent toward humanity.

Even though the human federation had deceived him, as long as they willingly accepted punishment, or even his rule, and maintained a proper attitude, they would eventually gain Yi Chen’s forgiveness.

Grasping onto the Tree-Dwelling Tribe as a golden leg was indeed tempting.

Not only could they obtain a massive amount of resources and treasures, but they could also receive military support from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to unify the entire star cluster.

However, this golden leg was not so easily held onto.

First, they would have to submit to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and follow their lead.

The more support they received from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the more it indicated that the human federation would be drawn into the race war of the super star cluster.

However, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe treated their vassal races well, and as long as the Tree-Dwelling Tribe remained intact, the human federation was unlikely to face destruction.

But regardless, they had tied their fate to someone else’s belt.

More importantly, no matter how alluring the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was, they couldn’t compare to Yi Chen.

Creating a Cave Paradise that allows the ordinary people with very little talent to break through to the Crossing Tribulation Stage, and even reach the peak of the Human Immortal Stage, already surpasses everything else.

Because at the peak of the Human Immortal Stage, one can live for hundreds of thousands of years.

In the eyes of humanity, who are used to lifespans of only a few hundred years, this is akin to immortality.

This means that based solely on the Cave Paradise, Yi Chen can grant humanity eternal life.

Not to mention ordinary people; even the High-ranking Leaders present would, if given another chance, unhesitatingly choose to give up some of their power to accept Yi Chen’s rule in exchange for eternal life.

Moreover, with powerful strength realms, they would not need any external assistance to easily unify the entire star cluster.

The territory of the human federation would greatly expand, and the power they lost could actually be compensated for.

There might even come a day when humanity could advance into the super star cluster.

Because, so far, Yi Chen’s talent limit has not been reached.

No one can be certain whether he could create the Fourth Generation Cave Paradise or even the Fifth Generation Cave Paradise.

Even if he fails, even if Yi Chen suffers a crushing defeat in the super star cluster, at least he would still hold his own fate in his hands.

Unlike now, where the human federation gave up the chance for reconciliation because they did not want a ruler.

They have gained freedom, but the entire race’s freedom is bound to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

"The facts cannot be changed, and regretting is of no use," Lu Qingxian was the first to awaken from his regret. His gaze swept across the faces of the federal High-ranking Leaders:

"The immediate priority is to come up with a response plan!"

"What kind of response plan is needed? It is definitely to notify Bunier to hurry to the Tianling Star Cluster and capture Yi Chen at all costs."

A Senior Military Official replied without hesitation, "Then, while trying to obtain the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s understanding, ensure that Yi Chen does not suffer severe penalties every day, and do whatever it takes to win his forgiveness. Even if it means agreeing to let him become the ruler of the human federation."

Everyone couldn’t help but nod.

Eternal life was too tempting.

Moreover, eternal life was not just a hope but a tangible benefit that was within reach.

Almost all the federal High-ranking Leaders were willing to strive for another chance to choose, and then do whatever it takes to obtain Yi Chen’s understanding.

Even if Yi Chen became a prisoner under the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s pressure, he would be willing to create new skills. And with the foundation of the Cave Paradise already belonging to the human federation, they would still be willing to choose again.

The reason was that Yi Chen’s potential clearly had not been exhausted.

He could lead humanity even higher and further.

The federal High-ranking Leaders did not want to miss any opportunity or encounter any more unexpected events.

With Yi Chen under the control of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they felt uneasy.

Even if Yi Chen was under the control of the human federation, they still felt the same unease.

They hoped even more that the human federation would be under Yi Chen’s control.

Only then would there be no unexpected surprises or complications.

"The question is, do you really think that based on Yi Chen’s actions and character, he would be captured by Bunier?"

Lu Qingxian posed a question that seemed somewhat absurd.

But this ridiculous question made the faces of the federal High-ranking Leaders grow grim.

Because this question, while seeming absurd, was actually not absurd at all.

Capturing Yi Chen would undoubtedly be a simple matter for level 220 Bunier and Blake, once they learned of Yi Chen’s and the Great Flame Empire’s movements.

No matter how talented Yi Chen was, even if he had become the strongest member of the star cluster, he was still only at level 150.

And the average strength realm of the Great Flame Empire was only between level 100 and level 110.

Before Bunier and Blake, he would still be like an ant.

However, judging by Yi Chen’s past actions and character, it was impossible for him to place himself in danger.

This greatest genius in human history is arrogant, strong, and decisive, but also exceptionally wise and cautious.

More importantly, what seems impossible and can only be achieved through miracles is nothing to Yi Chen.

During his time on the exile planet, Yi Chen created countless miracles to the point that the entire human federation became numb to the idea of miracles.

Another miracle would not be surprising at all.

And with Yi Chen’s intellect, he could not possibly be unaware that as the Great Flame Empire expands rapidly, his information could not remain hidden forever.

Since that is the case, Yi Chen still allowed the Great Flame Empire to expand swiftly and even unify the entire Tianling Star Cluster.

According to the data, it could be inferred that it won’t be long before he launches attacks on other star clusters.

It is clear that Yi Chen possesses the confidence to ignore the threats from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
