Chapter 738: Regrets Come Too Late

“No matter whether it’s Yi Chen or the federal High-ranking Leaders, they probably won’t let us profit from the situation…”

The Undying King sighed.

Hearing this, the strongest members felt a sense of disheartenment.

Just as the Undying King said, all the tribes naturally hoped that the federal High-ranking Leaders would persuade the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to infiltrate the Undying Star System or the Tianling Star Cluster to attack and destroy the forces of the Great Flame Empire.

Meanwhile, Yi Chen would use special means to take them down one by one, continuously eliminating the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

This would be the most beneficial outcome for all tribes.

But the chances of that happening are extremely slim.

Because neither Yi Chen nor the federal High-ranking Leaders would be that foolish.

“No matter what, this is our only method we can try.”

The Leader of the Ten-Armed Tribe attempted to uplift everyone: “Let’s give it a shot and see the outcome before making a decision.”

The strongest members nodded silently.

Their spirits were not high.

One by one, they felt a sense of melancholy.

The human federation, having formed an alliance with the powerful, already gave the tribes enough headaches, but who would have thought that Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire would emerge and that they would be even more powerful and troublesome than the human federation?

The future looked bleak, with no hope or brightness in sight for continued resistance.

…

Soon, the news reached the human federation through an insider.

In the Milky Way, at the headquarters of the Federal Parliament.

The faces of the federal High-ranking Leaders were not much better than those of the strongest members from the various tribes.

However, their feelings were somewhat different.

While the strongest members were feeling gloomy and helpless, sensing a lack of hope, the federal High-ranking Leaders were once again haunted by deep regret due to this news.

“To be truly strong, one must rely on their own power…”

After a long pause, Marshal Iron Blood let out a faint sigh.

No one responded, but everyone could relate deeply.

They understood clearly that the Great Flame Empire was the true power.

While the various tribes dared to abandon the major life planets, the Great Flame Empire dared to sweep through and conquer those planets with thunderous momentum.

Unlike the human federation, which seemed powerful but had to force the strongest members of the tribes to ally and choose to give up all the life planets before a single battle could be fought.

This sort of strength came merely from the powerful beings of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

But even if the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were not numerous, they had significant vulnerabilities.

Likewise, even if there were countless powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, there would still be considerable flaws.

Because the human federation could not be brutal enough to annihilate all members of the tribes.

If they did not do this, even if the human federation eliminated all attacking armies and unified the entire star cluster, they would still face continuous waves of rebellion on the major life planets.

At its core, the issue stemmed from the insufficient strength of the soldiers within the human federation.

As the rulers, the soldiers of the federation were the cornerstone of maintaining control and suppressing rebellious thoughts.

If the cornerstone responsible for maintaining control and suppressing rebellion is not strong enough, it will inevitably foster the tribes’ resolve to rebel.

Once a rebellion occurs, it cannot be easily resisted.

It is like a group of sheep ruling over a pack of lions.

Even if the human federation, like the Great Flame Empire, offered generous conditions and policies, it still wouldn’t achieve the desired effect.

Only a group of T-Rexes ruling over lions, combined with various generous conditions and policies, could minimize rebellion.

In the view of the federal High-ranking Leaders, the current strength of the Great Flame Empire surpassed that of the human federation, which relied on the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s support.

Despite the latter having a population of only twenty million, when combined with the children obtained through various means from the human federation, there were still only over a billion people; yet, they were already qualified to unify the entire star cluster.

In contrast, even if the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s reinforcements arrive, they can help the human federation quickly sweep through the entire star cluster.

However, to truly solidify the human federation’s control over the star cluster would require a massive amount of time, slowly brainwashing the generations of various tribes to diminish their rebellious thoughts, thereby gradually strengthening their control strength.

Of course, if the Tree-Dwelling Tribe maintains its support for the human federation, as the average cultivation level of the federation’s soldiers improves, their control strength will also rise accordingly.

But regardless, even with the support of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the human federation only possesses true top-tier combat power that far exceeds that of the Great Flame Empire.

It is even uncertain whether this top-tier combat power truly surpasses that of the Great Flame Empire.

Because not long ago, five level 210 powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe appeared unexpectedly in the Tianling Star Cluster.

Who knows what kind of trump card Yi Chen holds and what kind of miracles he can create?

With just a population of around twenty million, in just over twenty years, they rose to the point of potentially unifying the entire star cluster.

The federal High-ranking Leaders could not imagine how high the human federation could have reached if they had reached a reconciliation with Yi Chen at the beginning of his rise.

Unfortunately, repeated underestimations and misjudgments have led to a situation where the human federation and Yi Chen are now at odds.

They could only hope that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would capture Yi Chen to repair the relationship between the two sides.

Last time, they were still full of confidence.

But after seeing the deliberately sent information from the various tribes, they suddenly felt a deep sense of helplessness.

They began to lose their confidence.

There was no way around it; Yi Chen was a synonym for miracles.

Not to mention in the past, even recently, miracles have continued to occur.

Five level 210 strong fighters, considered invincible within the star cluster, died in the Tianling Star Cluster at an incomprehensible speed.

So much so that even level 220 Bunier and Blake lacked the courage to investigate the reasons.

It hasn’t been long since the Great Flame Empire suddenly descended with miraculous speed and methods, sweeping through the entire Undying Star System.

According to the deliberately sent information from the various tribes, the army of the Great Flame Empire was busy gathering forces in specific areas the day before.

In just one night, they suddenly appeared in the Undying Star System and rapidly expanded at a jaw-dropping speed.

This was utterly illogical.

Only the human federation could silently transport billions of troops to nearby star systems overnight.

The Great Flame Empire could not possibly possess tens of millions of Large Battleships.

Yet the Great Flame Empire has done just that.

Miracles for Yi Chen seem as simple as drinking a cup of water or eating a piece of cake, just trivial and effortless matters.

This has led the federal High-ranking Leaders to deeply doubt whether even the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s reinforcements could handle Yi Chen.

Because Yi Chen has proven countless times that no one can truly deal with him.

Even when he was trapped on the exile planet, surrounded by the human federation’s large Defense Systems, he mysteriously disappeared.

He even vanished along with the entire Great Flame Kingdom.

To this day, neither the human federation nor the Tree-Dwelling Tribe has figured out how Yi Chen managed that.

“I never expected that Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire would suddenly become our biggest opponents in unifying this star cluster.”

A Senior Military Official sighed deeply.

The Great Flame Empire’s sudden military action to sweep through the entire Undying Star System clearly conflicts greatly with the human federation’s Expansion Plans.
