"Special envoy, will there be any problems?"
Council President Lu Qingxian and a Human Federation looked at the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy with some trepidation.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Once Lord Kotes has finished inspecting Yi Chen, he should immediately go and deal with the Soul Race."
The Earth Tree Race Special Envoy was somewhat amused and exasperated. ❋❃
I think Lu Qingxian and the Human Federation are just being paranoid.
It was just a misjudgment.
How could it possibly happen again?
It should be noted that this Lord Kotes has already crossed the threshold of becoming Earth Tree Race Expert.
His strength has reached a point where, if he were willing to waste time, he could easily sweep through the entire Local Galaxy Cluster in one fell swoop.
Within the Local Galaxy Cluster, Kotes is akin to a dimensional reduction attack.
No matter what Calamity Qi, it can still be easily resolved without any problems.
"That's good!"
Lu Qingxian and the other leaders could sense a strong sense of confidence in the tone of the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy.
I felt much more at ease.
Since there are no problems with the Soul Race, we can just wait a few more days.
Lu Qingxian exchanged glances with Marshal Tie Xue for a few seconds before speaking again, "Special Envoy, in your opinion, can Yi Chen pass the Envoy's test?"
"Your Human Race genius possesses talent so high that even I am amazed and incredulous. Passing Lord Kotes's test is an inevitable outcome."
The Earth Tree Race Special Envoy felt that this question was a waste of time.
"That..."
Lu Qingxian hesitated for a moment, then pressed on, "We plan to confront the envoy after he finishes seeing Yi Chen, perhaps using the strength he displayed as a bargaining chip. If the envoy finds out, will he be unhappy about it?"
Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures stared nervously at the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy.
Such a question should not have been asked so rashly.
But Kotes ignored their attitude, clearly showing that he didn't take the Human Federation seriously at all.
Using Kotes's terrifying strength as a means to intimidate Yi Chen could lead to unforeseen consequences if Kotes found out.
Having no other option, they could only ask the relatively easy-going Earth Tree Race Special Envoy.
Fortunately, even if this Earth Tree Race Special Envoy understands the relationship between the Human Federation Yi Chen, he most likely won't side with Yi Chen.
Because of the other party, they failed to reap the Calamity Fruit and instead lost their physical body. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but they also incurred karmic debts to the Human Federation.
"Should we confront Yi Chen?"
The Earth Tree Race Special Envoy's gaze swept over Lu Qingxian and the others.
I finally understand. The two time-wasting questions Lu Qingxian asked earlier were just to test my attitude so I could ask this crucial question.
Just as Lu Qingxian had expected, due to the karmic debt he owed to the Human Federation, and the fact that there were no valuable resources in the Milky Way that he found appealing, the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy didn't think too much about it. After a moment's thought, he shook his head.
"In the eyes of our Earth Tree Race, Yi Chen and your Human Federation are one. We don't care about any conflicts or entanglements between you, and we're too lazy to interfere, as long as a reconciliation can be reached."
"Your reconciliation will be more beneficial to Kotes's mission this time. Even if he knows that you used his power to suppress Yi Chen, as long as you can successfully reconcile, he probably won't take it to heart."
Lu Qingxian and the other bigwigs were completely relieved.
"But..."
Out of consideration for the debt owed to the Human Federation, the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy added another sentence.
"Judging from the External Affairs Department ' order, the Elder value Yi Chen's potential even more than the Human Federation."
"As is customary, our Earth Tree Race always prioritizes controlling the Supreme Expert member of the race that submits to us."
"Therefore, the Human Federation's formal allegiance to our Earth Tree Race ultimately came down to Yi Chen representing the entire Human Federation in accepting control."
"Lord Kotes's trip to the Exile Planet will most likely involve Yi Chen, as the representative of the Human Federation, signing a pact of loyalty to the Earth Tree Race never to betray them."
"If you also want to sign a contract with Yi Chen, you can ask me for help after you've agreed on the terms."
"We understand, thank you for the reminder, Special Envoy."
Lu Qingxian and the other bigwigs nodded in agreement.
They understood why the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy had added that extra sentence.
This was a veiled reminder that after the Earth Tree Race formally accepted the Human Federation as a subordinate, in order to ensure that the Human Federation would not harbor any resentment, they would use a contract to control Yi Chen, the Supreme Expert Human Race.
Similarly, in the future, they will only contact Yi Chen, tacitly assuming that Yi Chen is the supreme ruler of the Human Federation.
In this situation, if the Human Federation wants to gain the upper hand, it needs to find a way to sign a special contract with Yi Chen before he understands the Earth Tree Race's attitude.
Otherwise, let alone the fact that Yi Chen was ambitious and exceptionally intelligent.
Anyone in that situation would have gradually gained control of the entire Human Federation through the Earth Tree Race.
"It seems we'll have to add some more chips at the last minute!"
Lu Qingxian sent messages to the top figures in Council and the Military.
The industry giants quickly responded with their agreement.
There was no way Yi Chen could refuse what they considered a pre-arranged offer.
However, Yi Chen has an eccentric personality and is ambitious. If he wants to sign a contract that would make him the nominal ruler of the Human Federation but without real power, then the previously agreed-upon terms are no longer guaranteed.
Lu Qingxian gritted his teeth, Earth Tree Race Special Envoy envoy while continuing to send messages.
"Time is tight, and there's no time to discuss too many details. In that case, let's just double the original amount!"
"Regarding status and privileges, the title has been changed from Prince to the Imperial Clan, making the Human Federation's nominal ruling class the Human Emperor!"
"Regarding territory, in addition to the Exile Planet, one more Life Planet will be added. He will have absolute dominion over these two Life Planet. However, the people of the Human Federation will be evacuated from the newly added Life Planet planet."
"In terms of prestige and status, in addition to the construction of various statues and the title of 'Teacher of the Human Race,' the number of seats for Speaker has increased from one to two."
"Regarding wealth and resources, the Human Federation will pay him in installments, in the name of establishing the Imperial Clan, two hundred trillion in funds and various resources."
The leaders of Council and the Military hesitated for several minutes before sending their approval messages one after another.
Everyone quickly returned to the Large Transport Ship.
While rushing to the Exile Planet, they kept a close eye on Yi Chen's movements.
After Kotes assessed Yi Chen 'Yi Chen talent, determined his potential, and confirmed that he was qualified to lead the Human Race to become a vassal of the Earth Tree Race, he signed a contract with Yi Chen.
According to the plan, this was the best time for Lu Qingxian, representing the Human Federation, to confront and negotiate with Yi Chen.
