Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes, but said nothing.
He understood better than anyone that sometimes the situation is stronger than individuals.
The Gu Rui Star Clan is nominally one of the three major factions, but their status is not as independent as the Tarros Red Dwarf. However, if one were to insist on their biases, it would be difficult to say definitively.
They are very low-key; although they participate in all activities and battlefields, their achievements are not particularly outstanding. They are involved in all actions of the All Races of the Universe, sometimes performing impressively and sometimes showing mediocrity.
In fact, they are keen on assisting other races, especially in the form of loans.
Many do not realize that the Gu Rui Star Clan is the largest creditor among all the races in the universe.
Therefore, they participate in many affairs but rarely engage in disputes. As long as they do not want to, no one would force them into battle.
Often, they are the first choice for many races needing intermediaries.
Thus, their identity is somewhat ambiguous. Even though they have previously expressed a preference for certain factions, this indication has gradually faded in light of their actions until it became vague.
Of course, whether it is their large-scale lending activities or their ability to mediate various conflicts, it all hinges on the powerful strength of their race.
Their strength is significant owing to their long lifespans.
It has been said that every super race has its own heritage, but when it comes to the thickness of that heritage, no other race can compare with the Gu Rui Star Clan.
After all, living long allows one to acquire things that others do not, and encounter opportunities that others cannot access.
One point that must be mentioned is that the Gu Rui Star Clan is known for producing the most peak experts among all races in the universe today.
In other words, throughout the history of All Races of the Universe, the number of peak experts they have produced ranks first.
Even now, while the current number of peak experts is highest among the Hall People and Lena People, followed by the Tarros Red Dwarf, the Gu Rui Star Clan ranks fourth.
However, this number is not widely believed because the longevity of the Gu Rui Star Clan means many of their experts have disappeared in the long river of history. If other races were similarly unconfirmed, with a peak expert simply going missing, after hundreds of years, people would know they had likely perished.
But it's different for the Gu Rui Star Clan; it may take over five hundred years before one can vaguely confirm their peak experts have died. To truly ascertain it could take many more years.
So everyone feels that these tree people are hiding a number of peak experts.
This further elevates the status of the Gu Rui Star Clan.
Due to these characteristics, many members of the Gu Rui Star Clan hold positions in the Myriad Clans Assembly. They usually keep a low profile, but their actual power is not small.
The Tarros Red Dwarf may seem wealthy and well-equipped, with strong overall combat power, but in terms of comprehensive influence, they are still inferior to the Gu Rui Star Clan.
When it comes to membership, the Gu Rui Star Clan rarely absorbs outsiders, mostly breeding their own offspring. Even when they do accept outsiders, they primarily target plant-based life forms.
This time, when they encountered the Yama Tree, their surprise turned to delight and then to impatience, leading to the situation where Luo Luo had just returned to the spacecraft and their people followed along.
There are three members of the Gu Rui Star Clan here, all looking at the Yama Tree with immense anticipation.
At one moment, Ye Zhongming even had the thought of letting Luo Luo infiltrate the enemy's ranks as a spy.
But he quickly dismissed it, knowing such things were impossible.
He had some understanding of the Gu Rui Star Clan, especially when he was at the Library Palace; some book keepers had told him certain histories of the All Races of the Universe. Most of the records regarding this plant-based race were ambiguous because they were not of their own kind and couldn’t afford to delve into their internal matters for more details.
