Chapter 796: Gathering the Elders

In the Time Star Cluster.

Inside a powerful defensive barrier, the leader of the Time Tribe was focused on his training.

Suddenly, the communication stone inside the Space Stone vibrated.

He used his Perception Ability to enter the communication stone and found a communication request from the leader of the Intelligence Organization, who was also the Fifth Elder of the Time Tribe.

Without a doubt, it must be an important message for him.

The leader of the Time Tribe felt a slight headache, fearing it might be news from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Whenever it was related to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it was bound to be bad news.

It was likely news about how the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, using their vassal races, had successfully conquered several medium-sized races or that their vassal races had begun attacking those larger races.

This possibility was not unfounded.

Although previously, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s targets had been medium-sized races,

the number of strong warriors and elite armies they controlled had not decreased due to ongoing wars. Instead, it had continually expanded.

Attacking larger races was only a matter of time.

Despite not wanting to hear such news, the leader of the Time Tribe had no choice but to take out the communication stone and answer the call.

“Leader, we have received astonishing news from the Golden Cloud Galaxy.”

The voice of the Fifth Elder of the Time Tribe rang out immediately.

“The Tree-Dwelling Tribe has begun to attack larger races?”

The leader of the Time Tribe could not help but ask.

“No…”

The Fifth Elder explained, “It is a force called the Great Flame Empire, formed by several unknown races. They are rapidly expanding, attacking nearby smaller races, and swiftly conquering them.”

“……”

The leader of the Time Tribe felt somewhat dumbfounded.

What was so unusual about quickly conquering some smaller races?

In various star clusters, any large race could easily wipe out several, or even dozens or hundreds, of smaller races at the same time.

The only trouble was that mobilizing the army for an invasion required a significant amount of time.

“This Great Flame Empire, like the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, possesses a powerful troop transportation capability, and even surpasses the Tree-Dwelling Tribe… ”

The Fifth Elder realized he might not have explained clearly enough and began to elaborate further.

“Is it unlikely they are a vassal race of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe?”

The leader of the Time Tribe stood there, dumbfounded.

If that were true, it would mean that if they could control this Great Flame Empire, they might have the ability to transport troops over long distances on a large scale, similar to that of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

They might even surpass the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

While the Tree-Dwelling Tribe could not hide from their target races, launching celestial forces to the stronghold on the life planets of those targets, the Time Tribe’s army could achieve that.

Moreover, the Great Flame Empire also has special means to silently infiltrate the defensive barriers.

With the powerful strength of the Time Tribe warriors, wouldn’t any high-ranking leaders of hostile races be easily controlled?

“Are you sure about the reliability of this information?”

The leader of the Time Tribe asked excitedly.

“Absolutely!”

The Fifth Elder of the Time Tribe answered without hesitation.

“Let’s act separately. You notify the Second Elder, and I will contact the Great Elder to assemble the elite army and strong team and prepare to head to the Golden Cloud Star Cluster.”

The leader of the Time Tribe decided without any second thoughts.

“Leader, should we contact the Reincarnation Tribe?”

The Fifth Elder of the Time Tribe reminded him.

“Contact them?”

The leader of the Time Tribe immediately rejected the idea but, upon reflection, hesitated to voice that thought.

Although the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe were allies, and they should share any benefits and cooperate closely, he certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to invite the Reincarnation Tribe to share such significant advantages.

He didn’t speak those words because he suddenly remembered that this news would create a stir throughout the Golden Cloud Star Cluster, and the Reincarnation Tribe would surely receive the related information as well.

They would also send strong teams and armies to the Golden Cloud Star Cluster, seeking ways to control this Great Flame Empire.

After much hesitation, the leader of the Time Tribe finally said, “No need to contact them; we will do what we need to do!”

The reason was simple: in the competition for the Great Flame Empire, the Time Tribe held the advantage.

That advantage was the Time Tribe’s time-reversal ability.

After their strong team and army arrived in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster, they could continue sending elders and strong fighters for support through the time-reversal ability.

In theory, they could even send all the strong fighters of the Time Tribe to support the Golden Cloud Star Cluster.

Being able to deploy more strong fighters to the Golden Cloud Star Cluster would undoubtedly increase the Time Tribe’s chances of success.

Moreover, even if the Great Flame Empire were to be seized by the Reincarnation Tribe, and both were allies, according to the signed contract terms, the Reincarnation Tribe wouldn’t be able to attack the Time Tribe.

As long as the Time Tribe worked with them to attack the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they could, at least, force the Reincarnation Tribe to transfer some of the benefits to the Time Tribe, gathering all their strength to defeat and eliminate the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, their fierce competitor.

Of course, on the flip side, the Reincarnation Tribe could also force the Time Tribe to make certain concessions in return.

But regardless of how it unfolded, the one who seized control of the Great Flame Empire first would hold the greater advantage.

The leader of the Time Tribe naturally wanted to take that chance.

“Understood!”

The Fifth Elder of the Time Tribe also grasped the stakes and nodded in agreement.

After ending the call, the leader of the Time Tribe quickly infused energy into the communication stone to contact the Great Elder of the Time Tribe.

Without any surprises, upon learning about the information regarding the Great Flame Empire and the leader of the Time Tribe’s decisions, the Great Elder of the Time Tribe quickly agreed to take the opportunity.

Without wasting a moment, he immediately began to assemble Time Tribe warriors and arrange the army.

Meanwhile, the Second Elder of the Time Tribe, contacted by the Fifth Elder, also quickly rallied Time Tribe warriors and elite troops.

These elders of the Time Tribe had lifespans spanning millions of years.

Under normal circumstances, their sense of time was quite relaxed.

If an operation could be prepared in one or two months, it would be considered excellent.

However, this time, within just a few hours, the Great Elder of the Time Tribe had gathered an army of over ten thousand strong fighters and ten million elite troops.

The efficiency was extraordinary.

After the army was assembled, the Great Elder of the Time Tribe wasted no time.

He personally took action, swiftly tearing through space.

In front of the army, he opened a spatial rift measuring several dozen kilometers wide.

The Time Tribe army began to pass through the spatial rift in an orderly manner, leaving the assembly point.

As the Time Tribe army departed, the Fifth Elder of the Time Tribe followed closely behind, tearing through space to create a new spatial rift.

This operation involved ten elder-level strong fighters from the Time Tribe.

These ten elders didn’t hesitate to expend a large amount of high-quality immortal materials to continuously create spatial rifts, allowing the army to reach the Golden Cloud Star Cluster as quickly as possible.
