Ambition and Vision Beyond Anyone's Guess

"Just as I thought. With Yi Chen's personality, how could he possibly have a sudden fit of kindness and venture into the forest south of the Tribe to help the Flame Mountain Tribe deal with the Green Leopard, such a massive threat?"

"So he had wanted to use the Green Leopard's size at the very last moment to surpass and crush Gu Li and Luo Ge's prey in one stroke, competing for the position of Flame Mountain Tribe's Tribal Chief!"

"As expected of Yi Tenglong's descendant. He had only just joined the Flame Mountain Tribe, yet he was already eyeing the position of Tribal Chief with such wild ambition."

"It wasn't after he joined the Flame Mountain Tribe that he set his sights on the position of Tribal Chief. I'd wager that from the moment Yi Chen first saw Gu Li, he had already begun plotting to become the Flame Mountain Tribe's Tribal Chief."

"At the time, he didn't even know about the Flame Mountain Tribe. He only knew that Gu Li had to belong to some Tribe."

"That's right. Those people claiming that Yi Chen deliberately waited until the crucial moment to rescue her and gave the Unicorn Boar to Gu Li to win a beauty's favor are talking utter nonsense. Everything he did was to join the Flame Mountain Tribe and become its Tribal Chief."

"What a pity he was born at the wrong time. With Yi Chen's personality, intellect, and terrifying talent, if he hadn't been on the Exile Planet, he might have become a second Nine Star General Yi Tenglong."

"What a joke. With his talent, his achievements would only surpass Yi Tenglong's."

"I heard there are still quite a few remnants who followed Yi Tenglong back then? Wouldn't those remnants sneak onto the Exile Planet and get Yi Chen out?"

"That's impossible. Only a Large Warship can pass through the Cosmic Storms and Meteorite Swarms surrounding the Exile Planet. Yi Tenglong's remnants could never get their hands on a Large Warship."

"Among the Serious Criminals exiled to the Exile Planet, there is no shortage of major figures renowned throughout the world."

"Those major figures also have countless followers who escaped the net. Yet in thousands of years, not a single one has successfully broken out of prison. Why? Don't think those Cosmic Storms are child's play!"

The audience in the Live Stream Room all came to a sudden realization.

Connecting it all with what had happened before, everyone finally understood why Yi Chen had suddenly run to the south side of The Valley to risk hunting that Level 10 Green Leopard.

Inside The Valley.

Having officially become the Flame Mountain Tribe's Tribal Chief, Yi Chen did not attend the celebration that followed.

After announcing that everyone was to gather in the center of The Valley early the next morning, he returned to his own Wooden House.

He first opened the Strongest Talent System and took a look.

Strongest Talent System

Host: Yi Chen

Territory: 38 square kilometers

Talent bonus: 0.000038 times

Just as he had expected, after becoming the Flame Mountain Tribe's Tribal Chief,

his territory had expanded in an instant from a tiny Wooden House occupying only a dozen or so square meters to the entirety of The Valley.

His territory had increased by two million times.

Accordingly, his talent bonus had also increased by two million times.

Though it was still not much, it was enough for Yi Chen to confirm how the talent bonus was calculated.

For every increase of one million square kilometers in his territory, he would gain an additional onefold talent bonus.

In other words, once his territory reached one million square kilometers, he would gain an extra onefold talent bonus on top of his original talent.

Once his territory reached ten million square kilometers, he would gain an extra tenfold talent bonus.

His original talent was already the highest among the Human Race.

If it doubled, increased tenfold... it was simply beyond imagination!

However, he had only just become the Flame Mountain Tribe's Tribal Chief.

The entire Flame Mountain Tribe had barely over a thousand people, even counting the elderly, weak, women, and children, and their average strength was inferior even to ordinary wild beasts.

This was merely the beginning.

After closing the Strongest Talent System, Yi Chen adjusted his mindset.

He quickly entered a Meditative State.

The next morning.

After cultivating for an entire night, Yi Chen was refreshed and in an excellent mood.

When he arrived at the center of The Valley, all the Tribe's people were already present.

More than a thousand men, women, old people, and children looked at Yi Chen with faces full of worship and anticipation.

They quietly discussed whether this newly appointed Tribal Chief had some arrangement or instruction for having summoned all the tribespeople.

What Yi Chen did next was beyond everyone's expectations.

He borrowed Gu Li's short knife and strode toward the stone wall on one side of The Valley.

Using the tip of the short knife, he began carving on the smooth rock face.

The tribespeople were utterly baffled.

The audience in the Live Stream Room, however, instantly erupted.

"It's the Mental Cultivation Formula and circulation diagram for the Chaos Art. Is he planning to teach the Chaos Art and the Flying Knife Art to all the tribespeople?"

"A genius's way of thinking truly differs from ordinary people. Yi Chen, this unprecedented genius, is even harder to fathom."

"Exactly! Given his personality, he should never have been willing to pass down the Chaos Art and Flying Knife Art."

"After all, once the other tribespeople learned to cultivate and their strength soared, his prestige and status might rise in the short term, but in the long run, they would inevitably decline drastically."

"If a genius with even greater talent and faster cultivation speed appeared, that person might even replace him."

"Not to mention a Barbaric Era like the Exile Planet—even in the ancient times of our Human Race, there was a saying that heroes broke the law with martial strength. When tribespeople become too strong, it is not necessarily a good thing."

"Beyond that, keeping the people ignorant is the best method of rule. If these tribespeople want to learn the Chaos Art, they first have to learn how to read and write."

"The formula of this Chaos Art is obscure and difficult to understand, and it seems to contain profound principles. Once the tribespeople learn it, their minds will be enlightened, making them even harder to rule."

"I have no idea what he is thinking!"

"No matter what Yi Chen is thinking, it is definitely a great thing for us. This way, we can directly learn the improved Chaos Art."

"You're overthinking it. Didn't you see that Yi Chen only wrote out the circulation route and formula for the first-generation Chaos Art?"

"Though I can't understand why he is popularizing the Chaos Art in the Flame Mountain Tribe, this at least shows that Yi Chen is still Yi Chen. He held something back and did not write out the improved Chaos Art."

"Still, whether Yi Chen wrote down the improved Chaos Art doesn't really matter. Because not long ago, the Billion Medicines Group issued an announcement."

"In just one day, the Billion Medicines Cultivation Method Research Institute had completed its preparations and could begin researching cultivation methods more effective than the improved Chaos Art today."

"Who knows? Maybe in an hour or two, an even better cultivation method will be released for free."

"That's impressive. I thought it would take at least several days to get everything ready."

"As long as the Billion Medicines Group is willing to burn money, its efficiency is off the charts!"

The audience in the Live Stream Room discussed the matter heatedly.

No one could understand why Yi Chen had suddenly decided to teach the Chaos Art and Flying Knife Art to the Flame Mountain Tribe's people.

Doing so did not benefit Yi Chen in the slightest.

With his strength, he could have ensured by himself that the Flame Mountain Tribe's people never lacked food or clothing and were never threatened by the Ferocious Beasts nearby.

Once he found other Tribes in the future, he could easily swallow them up as well.

He could comfortably become a Tribal Chief who controlled the fate of all his tribespeople.

Even when his lifespan eventually ran out, he could pass down the cultivation methods to his descendants and let them continue his glory.

Given enough time, without the threat of Ferocious Beasts, the Flame Mountain Tribe might even develop into a nation.

And Yi Chen would become the Imperial Clan ancestor of that nation.

There was no need to spread the Chaos Art, create competitors for himself, and add uncertain factors to his rule.

The root of it all was that no one knew just how immense Yi Chen's ambition truly was.

No one knew that the Flame Mountain Tribe simply could not contain Yi Chen's ambition.

Flame Mountain could not contain his ambition either.

What he wanted was to rule the entire planet—and even the sea of stars!
