"Theoretically speaking, even if Yi Chen breaks through to a higher Great Realm, and with his ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, he would at most be equivalent to level 110 in strength. He still wouldn't be able to pass through the Cosmic Storm Zone on his own."
One of the Seven-Star General couldn't help but speak up, "And within the Cosmic Storm Zone, there are billions of stars."
"But only the Exile Planet can provide him with resources. Even if he exhausts all the resources of the Exile Planet, he can only reach a strength of around level 120 at most, and he will still be trapped in the Cosmic Storm Zone."
"In other words, the Cosmic Storm Zone can still restrain Yi Chen's development."
"Moreover, Yi Chen's potential has repeatedly exceeded expectations and shattered conventional wisdom; it's impossible for him to continue improving indefinitely."
The Military leaders all nodded in agreement.
This secret meeting between the Council and the Military, to put it bluntly, was because the Council felt it couldn't contain Yi Chen's development and was worried that the future interests of the Human Federation would be affected.
However, the overall interests of the Human Federation are the general direction.
In this situation, both Council and the Military have their own positions and interests.
Currently, this is one of the points of contention between the two sides.
From the perspective of the Council and its interests, the Council leaders would prefer to reach a reconciliation with Yi Chen as soon as possible.
The weaker Yi Chen Yi Chen, the better. Reaching a reconciliation with him and getting him to join the Human Federation sooner will ensure that the power of the Council's leaders is not significantly lost or reduced.
The Military, however, did not have this Gu Li.
Reaching a reconciliation with Yi Chen and getting him to join the Human Federation is in the ultimate interest of the Human Federation.
Neither the Federal Parliament nor the Federal Military will deliberately obstruct it.
Because their power is itself linked to the overall interests of the Human Federation.
Even if their own interests are harmed, they prioritize the overall interests of the Human Federation when faced with such a major decision.
They will only consider their own interests if the overall direction is correct.
To reach a reconciliation with Yi Chen Yi Chen and gain his forgiveness, one must offer conditions that satisfy Yi Chen.
Yi Chen was ambitious, and even without enjoying the privileges of a ruler, his Desire for Domination was so strong that it was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Given Yi Chen's terrifying strength, it's impossible for him to gain control of the military from the perspective of the entire Human Federation.
All we can offer him is unparalleled glory, status, wealth, and privileges.
If that's not enough, they'll have to cede a portion of the power, making Yi Chen a unique figure in the Council, and even allowing him to enter the decision-making level.
In any case, the Military's power should not be shared with Yi Chen.
The Military leaders naturally hoped to postpone reconciliation with Yi Chen.
Because if the truth is revealed to Yi Chen only after the Sixth New Cultivation Method Transmission, the Military's overall strength can be further enhanced.
Before Sixth New Cultivation Method Transmission, they confronted Yi Chen, revealing that the Military's overall strength would lose the opportunity for rapid growth.
It will take a lot of time to verify and confirm that the cultivation method taught by Yi Chen has no traps or side effects before it can be officially promoted.
"You must understand, everyone. According to the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy envoy, those who can pass the test of Heavenly Dao are all blessed with Luck Energy and are destined to create a new race. The chance of success is only one in a billion."
Council President Lu Qingxian calmly stated, "Even the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy firmly believes that Yi Chen can achieve this. Can a mere Cosmic Storm Zone and the limited resources of the Exile Planet really hold Yi Chen back for more than ten years?"
"This..."
The Seven-Star General were speechless.
Given the rate at which the top geniuses on the Exile Planet improve, it would take them at least ten years to reach the level where Yi Chen imparted the New Cultivation Method for the sixth time.
What's truly terrifying about Yi Chen isn't his talent and speed in cultivation, but his seemingly endless ability to create New Cultivation Method.
Once he discovers the existence of the Cosmic Storm Zone, he will create a cultivation technique that can withstand Cosmic Storm at level 100 or so. There is almost no suspense; it's just a matter of time.
"And... what about the Earth Tree Race?"
An Eight-Star General suddenly asked.
Lu Qingxian understood what he meant, but still shook his head. "In the eyes of the Earth Tree Race Elder, Yi Chen's talent and potential to create New Cultivation Method are already more valuable than our Human Federation."
"If we really clash with Yi Chen, the Earth Tree Race will most likely side with Yi Chen Yi Chen help him control the Human Federation, rather than helping our Human Federation to restrain Yi Chen."
"This is also why we feel we must reconcile with Yi Chen as soon as possible. Because the Earth Tree Race now considers Yi Chen and our Human Federation as one. And as long as we don't say anything, Yi Chen won't know the Earth Tree Race's current attitude."
"By leveraging this information gap, we can still use the oppressive power of the Earth Tree Race to reach a reconciliation with Yi Chen and gain his understanding."
"If this drags on any longer, the attitude of the Earth Tree Race will become our biggest crisis."
The Military leaders all fell silent.
"Since no one has any further objections, let's move on to the next item!"
Seeing that the Military leaders had acquiesced, Lu Qingxian continued, "As for the timing of confronting Yi Chen, since this kind of secret is not suitable for the members of the Think Tank, the result of my discussions with the chairmen is to choose the time after the Earth Tree Race Expert have finished searching for Yi Chen."
After a moment of contemplation, the Military leaders all nodded in agreement.
This is the best time.
They can use someone else's power to intimidate them.
By leveraging the information gap and the formidable strength of the Earth Tree Race, they could use this as a deterrent to confront and negotiate with Yi Chen.
Lu Qingxian continued, " The Earth Tree Race Elder have already selected a powerful individual to come, but that individual, perhaps driven by self-interest, is currently making various excuses to decline."
"But it's only a matter of time. The Earth Tree Race Special Envoy is already mobilizing all his connections and resources to find a way to satisfy this Earth Tree Race Expert and get him to come over as soon as possible."
"Once the Earth Tree Race Expert arrive, they will definitely prioritize the Earth Tree Race Elder ' orders, first assessing Yi Chen's talent, and then helping us deal with the Soul Race."
"Therefore, we don't have much time to prepare. We must quickly come up with one or more plans for negotiating with Yi Chen at this meeting and begin preparations as soon as possible."
This statement once again resonated with the Military leaders.
Both sides have reached a complete consensus on the overall direction.
Both the leaders in Council and the Military perked up and began discussing the details.
In their view, the powerful deterrent force of the Earth Tree Race was a big stick to restrain Yi Chen.
But sticking to the rod alone isn't enough.
Because Yi Chen's genuine reconciliation with the Human Federation is far more in the Human Federation's interest than a falling out or a superficial reconciliation.
We also need jujubes.
And these sweet dates are the wealth, resources, honor, status, and privileges that can satisfy Yi Chen.
Both Council and the Military were very generous.
Anyway, it's not about taking money from their pockets.
The Council and Military leaders only began to disagree when discussing how much real power to grant Yi Chen.
This is taking money from the pockets of Council leaders, not Military leaders.
The former was naturally somewhat reluctant to part ways, while the latter continued to be generous and magnanimous.
Ultimately, with the Council's concession, the date was chosen.
There are three main components, the first being status and privilege.
Yi Chen was made the only Noble King in the Human Federation, enjoying various immunity from overturning Federation laws, and possessing Exile Planet as his private territory.
Secondly, there are wealth resources, with a total value of hundreds of trillions, comparable to the wealth and resources of more than ten interstellar business giants.
Thirdly, there is the honor and status. In addition to various extremely precious titles and honors, the Council will, through its operations, ensure that Yi Chen obtains the seat of the Council Speaker, becoming one of the top decision-makers in the Human Federation.
All these benefits combined make it an irresistible offer for the tech giants.
But the bigwigs in both Council and the Military only knew that they possessed information gaps that Yi Chen was unaware of.
Little did they know, Yi Chen also possessed informational advantages they were unaware of.
This information gap is about just how high his talent is, and what kind of cultivation techniques he can create.
This also led to the fact that none of the leaders in Council and the Military had considered the other possibility.
That is, whether Yi Chen would truly be wary of the Earth Tree Race's massive wooden club.
Or do they really value the meager offerings from the extravagantly wealthy Human Federation?
