Chapter 380: The Destroyer of Industries for Young Brothers

"Next, it’s your turn."

Yi Chen’s gaze swept across the faces of the high-ranking leaders of the Demon Race, Shadow Clan, and Black Tiger Tribe.

He calmly said, "The cultivation methods of your tribes are different from ours. However, this Cave Paradise is unrelated to your cultivation methods and will have the same effects and benefits for all your tribes."

The high-ranking leaders, who had just been busy envying and resenting each other, suddenly widened their eyes.

They had thought Yi Chen called them over for other matters.

This Cave Paradise, due to the differences in cultivation methods and energy, seemed unrelated to their respective races.

No one expected that this Cave Paradise, unlike spiritual artifacts, would be suitable for any race.

Moreover, since the Cave Paradise was large enough, did it mean that the lower-level members of their races could also use it to break through their talent limits and reach higher realms, thereby enhancing the average strength of the entire race?

Yi Chen continued calmly, "Each tribe is an ally and vassal of the Great Flame Empire. Therefore, with the consumption of a certain amount of contribution points, you can arrange for corresponding talented or tribe members to enter for training."

"As for how many contribution points are needed and how to obtain them, you can discuss it with the Political Council and develop a detailed calculation and accumulation plan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

The seven Shadow Kings all showed expressions of wild delight.

Although the conditions for entry set by Yi Chen were obviously stricter for the Shadow Clan than for the citizens of the Great Flame Empire, they still fell within an acceptable range.

After experiencing their race’s near extinction, the remaining billion members of the Shadow Clan had the greatest wish to see their descendants witness the resurgence of the Shadow Clan’s glory, or even reach greater heights.

Isn’t it just about contributing to the Great Flame Empire?

It’s a piece of cake.

Within the Shadow Clan, everyone was willing to give their all for this.

As long as Yi Chen gave the order, these high-ranking leaders of the Shadow Clan would not hesitate to lead their entire clan to attack the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, even if it meant leaving only a small ember behind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty…"

After a brief moment of disappointment, the swamp crocodiles and the full-level fierce beasts fell into a carefree state.

The Demon Race had barely come into existence.

These high-ranking leaders had no sense of belonging or responsibility toward the Demon Race at all.

Of course, it would be better for the ordinary members of the Demon Race to quickly improve their strength; that would strengthen the army’s power.

The stronger the army, the more contributions they made, which meant more military achievements for these leaders.

However, they had no interest in wasting contribution points to provide opportunities for these ordinary members to boost their strength.

With those contribution points, wouldn’t it be better to trade for higher-grade resources to enhance their own strength?

These high-ranking members of the Demon Race, like the swamp crocodile, were already first-class citizens of the Great Flame Empire and wanted to advance to become barons of the Great Flame Empire.

The full-level fierce beasts, on the other hand, sought to quickly gain first-class citizen status in the Great Flame Empire.

Their sense of belonging to the Great Flame Empire now far outweighed their sense of belonging to the Demon Race.

"Yes!"

Chief Nika and the high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Tribe briefly felt disappointment before falling into contemplation.

In situations where contribution points were needed, they were also not interested in nurturing top geniuses with low realms.

The reason was simple; those who had been part of the Great Flame Pirates understood that Yi Chen was generous and lavish.

Once they made contributions, they could receive corresponding benefits.

Just like the high-ranking leaders of the Demon Race thought, the resources and treasures exchanged for these contributions would benefit their personal strength realms far more than nurturing those low-realm geniuses.

Of course, what set them apart from the high-ranking leaders of the Demon Race was that many of them had numerous descendants and trusted followers.

Regardless of how talented these descendants were, they could spend some contribution points to enhance their strength realms and bolster their own power.

However, the specifics would depend on the negotiations with the Political Council.

If the price was too high, they would certainly have to reduce the number of people benefiting.

“Alright, you all can leave now!”

Yi Chen waved his hand, instantly returning to the flying treasure.

He began to focus on his cultivation to enhance his own realm.

He didn’t need to worry about the rest of the chaotic matters.

At this stage, most of what needed to be done had already been completed.

He only needed to wait for the swamp crocodile to break through to the full level and help him research a successful way to overcome tribulations.

Then, when the high-end combatants of the Demon Race began to break through, he could almost start executing the plan to expand their territory.

The group of high-ranking leaders all bowed and left the palace.

“Are you all willing to visit the Political Council to discuss the matter of contribution points?”

The high priest issued an invitation to the high-ranking leaders of various tribes after discussing with the six Vice Councilors.

The Great Flame Empire was still very weak and needed to rely on the strength of various tribes everywhere.

Directly inviting the tribes to discuss the details of contribution points was undoubtedly more appropriate and demonstrated goodwill from the Political Council.

The high-ranking leaders did not refuse.

They also wanted to build a good relationship with the seven high-ranking representatives of the Great Flame Empire’s highest authority.

Upon arriving at the Political Council, the high priest immediately instructed his attendants to set up the conference room and prepare various premium snacks and teas.

Once the conference room was ready and the high-ranking leaders were seated at the table, the high priest got straight to the point: “Do any of you have suggestions or ideas regarding contribution points?”

While showing goodwill was important, as high-ranking officials of the Political Council, the high priest and the six Vice Councilors prioritized the interests of the Great Flame Empire.

Even the high priest, who wasn’t very good at negotiations, decisively took the initiative to understand the attitudes of the tribes before continuing discussions.

“Um… The Head of the Council should also know that our Nika Tribe has a population of over one hundred million, many geniuses, and consumes a significant amount of resources daily. Therefore, contribution points are currently the only way for our Nika Tribe to obtain resources.”

Chief Nika hurriedly said, “If entering the Cave Paradise requires too many contribution points, we would find it very difficult to allocate sufficient points to nurture our tribe members.”

“That’s right! Our Black Tiger Tribe has previously suffered bullying from the Swift Tribe, which viewed us as a resource warehouse, taking almost all our resources and treasures. Contribution points are of great significance to us.”

“We kindly ask the Head of the Council and the Vice Councilors to understand the difficulties of our Black Tiger Tribe and try to lower the contribution points needed to enter the ‘Cave Paradise.’”

“If we can cultivate more of our tribe members and enhance their strength, we can better serve the Great Flame Empire.”

Many high-ranking leaders of the Nika Tribe quickly voiced their agreement.

“I don’t mind; whatever the high priest and the Vice Councilors decide on the calculations, I will be fine with it.”

The swamp crocodile was busy trying to reach level 100 and didn’t want to waste time on such trivial matters.

The full-level fierce beasts voiced similar sentiments to the swamp crocodile.

They had no descendants or trusted followers, and all they thought about was making contributions to quickly become first-class citizens of the Great Flame Empire.

Higher-grade Cave Paradise concerned their personal interests.

In their eyes, lower-grade Cave Paradise was just a small matter, and they would never offend the high priest or the six Vice Councilors for the sake of gaining benefits for their Demon Race members.

Chief Nika and the high-ranking leaders of the Black Tiger Tribe felt secretly frustrated.

It seemed they had encountered incompetent allies.

“We of the Shadow Clan will obey the arrangements of the Great Flame Empire without question, pledging to comply to the death!”

The leading Shadow King respectfully looked at the high priest and the six Vice Councilors:

“We’re here to ask whether the Great Flame Empire needs any servants. Our Shadow Clan excels in transformation and can nearly perform any servant role.”

“We do not require any compensation; as long as the Political Council shows mercy, we only ask for some contribution points in the future.”

“Especially in providing caregivers for children, our Shadow Clan can arrange second-level strong fighters to take care of the children of the Great Flame Empire one-on-one, ensuring their safety and healthy growth.”

“We can also assign sufficient strong fighters to tirelessly use energy and materials to nourish these children, strengthen their foundation, and ensure their development.”

What on earth!

Chief Nika and the high-ranking leaders of the Black Tiger Tribe were left speechless.

This Shadow Clan was not just an incompetent ally.

They were truly destroyers in the servant industry!

Not only were they stealing business, but they even escalated it to a shocking degree.
