"Your Excellency Kasuyi, do you think we should go?" someone could not help but ask.
Kasuyi was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Black Star's invitation to everyone has already exceeded the scope of private matters. It depends on the Arcane Church's opinion … I think we have to accept the invitation."
"Why? Our Ethereal and the Black Star Corps are not friends. Does Black Star think he has that much face?" Tolaen was indignant.
Kasuyi shook his head, his voice faint. "I roughly understand what Black Star will do. His reason is to maintain the stability of the Shattered Star Ring. If we don't go, he will settle the score with us afterward …"
"Are we afraid of him alone?" someone said angrily.
"We're not afraid, but the Black Star Corps has a huge force in the Flickering World. Ethereal probably does not want to offend him. Furthermore, Ethereal has to consider Sisko. He lives in the Shattered Star Ring and has nowhere to run. If Black Star wants to settle the score with him, he will be in trouble," Kasuyi said calmly.
"But Black Star is not hiding his goal. If we all respond to his call, it will increase his reputation and influence. The upper echelons will definitely know this. As for the Beyond Grade As of the other organizations, will they be willing to be used by Black Star?" Sun Hunter narrowed his eyes.
"The dynasty will definitely support him fully, and the Radiance might also agree," Kasuyi said.
"The Radiant Federation will also agree?" Tolaen was confused.
Kasuyi glanced at him and slowly said, "After all, the Shattered Star Ring is the Radiance's territory."
…
At the same time, the Radiant Federation also received Han Xiao's invitation and immediately gathered many of their allies for a discussion.
"Black Star wants to hold a Beyond Grade A meeting. His intentions are clear. Do we need to increase his reputation?"
Sierron crossed his arms and placed the other two on the table with an indifferent and disdainful expression. "Although he's a peak Beyond Grade A, isn't he overestimating himself too much? Why? Do you think everyone has to give him face? "
He was an important ally of the Radiant Federation and also a member of the elderly heavenly group. He had a very high status in the Beyond Grade A circle, equivalent to the dynasty's old dragon, Kant, or Ethereal's Sun Hunter.
Another Beyond Grade A turned to look at President Bader of Radiance and the Council of Elders and asked with a deep voice, "What do you think?"
"Maintaining the stability of the Shattered Star Ring is not a bad thing for us," Bader said slowly. "Even without the dynasty taking the lead, I don't plan to let anyone cause trouble. The Flickering World is about to be developed, so there's no need to stir up unnecessary conflicts."
"Since we didn't intend to cause trouble in the first place, there was no need to respond to Black Star?" someone asked.
"I'm still considering it." The Chief Elder took over the conversation and tapped the ground with his cane. "For now, there is indeed no need to support Black Star. Increasing his influence is the opposite of our strategy of suppressing the Imperium in the past few decades."
"I feel that we can actually help Black Star." This time, someone actually spoke up for Han Xiao. "The way I see it, the pressure over the past few years has been very effective. Together with some special reasons, it's only a matter of time before the dynasty opens up the purchasing rights …"
Hearing this, everyone looked at this person with different expressions.
This person's name was Hades, a new Beyond Grade A born in the past ten years. He had not joined Radiance for long, so his position was average. No one expected him to suddenly express his opinion today. It seemed like he had an unknown source of information.
"You said there's a special reason for the dynasty to open up the purchasing rights of totems? What do you know? "Bader was confused.
"Just some trivial information." Hades was obviously brushing him off and did not want to say it.
Seeing this, Bader was a little dissatisfied. Knowing that there would be no results, he simply asked, "Then tell me why you want to help Black Star."
"It's very simple. The Evolution Cube is the core of the Evolutionary Totem business. If the dynasty opens up the Evolution Cube one day, our needs will be satisfied. If the dynasty controls the cube, not only will we have no chance, but the dynasty will also reap the majority of the benefits. In comparison, it's better to let Black Star keep the cube.
Therefore, we can help Black Star, increase his status and reputation, and increase his chips in the game to prevent him from being unable to withstand the pressure and having the Evolution Cube taken away by the dynasty, "Hades said.
"That sounds reasonable.
However, the totem is not open yet. What you're saying is just empty words. Helping Black Star now is going against our suppression strategy and will only cause us trouble. If you can prove that the dynasty will definitely open up the totem and tell us the inside story, your suggestion will only be meaningful. "The Chief Elder's thoughts were clear.
"I have a special informant. The information will definitely be reliable." Hades shook his head and still did not intend to explain.
At this moment, Manison, who had been playing the bystander from the Mecha Empire, tilted his head and said calmly, "Do whatever you want. I will accept Black Star's invitation."
Everyone was shocked and looked at him. Many of them were confused.
"Don't you have an unresolved conflict with Black Star?" Sierron asked.
"That has nothing to do with you." Manison casually waved his hand. "I feel that this is a grand occasion, and I can do my best to facilitate it. Usually, the Beyond Grade As stay in their own territories, and this is a rare opportunity to gather in the same Star Field. It's a good opportunity to meet."
Everyone sized up Manison's expression but could not see what he was thinking. They were all confused and did not understand Manison's intentions.
Logically speaking, Manison and Black Star were competitors and should be suppressing each other. Why would he help? No one knew what he was thinking.
Glancing at everyone, Manison secretly shook his head.
He was not worried that this matter would increase Han Xiao's influence. A normal change in reputation would not affect their positions in the Machinery Faith. The believers only cared about the achievements of the Mechanics and ignored everything else. Therefore, he was not afraid that Black Star would become more famous.
However, Manison did not plan to help Han Xiao. He mainly wanted to use this matter to indirectly increase the position of all Beyond Grade As in the universe.
A Beyond Grade A with individual strength was already a big shot in the universe, but he felt that it was not enough. In the eyes of the advanced civilizations, their role was more focused on strategic deterrence and killing each other. This had been the case for many years, and Manison wanted to change this situation.
If they made use of this opportunity to gather a large number of Beyond Grade As, as long as they thought of the strength that these people would have when gathered together, the advanced civilizations would be even more wary of them and pay more attention to them. This would have some hidden effects. Overall, there were pros and cons, but for the Mechanic Emperor, the pros outweighed the cons. His vision was no longer limited to his own territory, and he planned to seek more benefits for the class represented by the Beyond Grade As.
In other words, Manison was consciously raising the ceiling of the entire industry. It was a bit like he was trying to help the world, but the main thing in his bones was still profit.
On the other hand, he did not mind that this event was led by Han Xiao. Although the two of them were competitors, they had one thing in common, which was that they were both Mechanics. If Black Star's reputation grew, more talents would be attracted to become Mechanics, which would be beneficial to the spread of the Machinery Faith. This way, as the leader of the Mechanic world, Manison would also benefit from it.
Of course, if he took the lead, the benefits would be even greater. However, Manison was not a stingy person. Since Black Star was the one who brought it up first, he could not be bothered to snatch it from him. Furthermore, Black Star had a reason to maintain the security of the Star Field, so he did not have the right to gather so many people.
…
Compared to Ethereal and Radiance, the Beyond Grade As of the Red Empire were much more supportive.
"Black Star really knows how to do things. His methods of extracting benefits are really impressive." Milizaus was amazed.
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads and laughed.
The various parties gathering in the Shattered Star Ring was originally a bad thing that would affect the stability of the Star Field. However, Black Star saw an opportunity in this and planned to squeeze out oil from the cracks of the rock to turn a bad thing into a good thing.
Everyone knew what Han Xiao was doing. Not only did he want to increase his reputation and influence, but he also wanted to establish his position as the Beyond Grade A leader of the Shattered Star Ring through this matter. Standing up in the name of the entire Shattered Star Ring had a special meaning.
In the past, Black Star was just a figurehead. Once this matter was done, it would prove to the outside world that his name was real and that he was the official leader of the Star Field. Coincidentally, the Black Star Corps had recently gained a new Beyond Grade A, so they could strike while the iron was hot. This way, the position of the Black Star Corps would become even more secure.
Not to mention the long-term benefits, the most obvious impact would be that the competitiveness of the Bloodshed Land would be greatly affected. The Limitless Financial Group, which had always been competing in various fields, would be greatly affected. In the short term, it would be difficult for them to cause any trouble for the Black Star Corps.
"Black Star sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeve." Kant chuckled. Today, he had turned into a cute little black pig. It was only the size of a palm. It stood upright with its two hind legs apart. It sat cross-legged like a human. Its two short upper hooves barely made a gesture of crossing its arms.
"The dynasty is openly showing their support. I wonder what Heber will think." Beyoni chuckled.
Clottey calmly said, "It's not that the dynasty doesn't want to take care of him, but he doesn't have the strength."
…
In the Bloodshed Land, Heber and Sorokin's avatars sat opposite each other.
"The Black Star Corps has gained a new Beyond Grade A. Black Star is indeed making a move. He wants to completely stabilize his position in the Shattered Star Ring. Sigh, this move is fair and square. There's nothing I can do. If he succeeds, we will lose more than half of our achievements over the years."
Sorokin shook his head helplessly.
He knew that Black Star was not someone who would let go of an opportunity so easily. As expected, he took advantage of the fact that a new Beyond Grade A was born in the army to make use of this popularity to launch a series of attacks. Due to the haste of the matter, he had not even finished investigating Hella's background, so he naturally could not retaliate.
Furthermore, Black Star had invited all the Beyond Grade As this time. Regardless of whether they gave him face or not, the result was not something he could interfere with alone. He could only watch.
Heber did not reply immediately. He lowered his head and stared at the invitation silently. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Your Excellency Tyrant, do you plan to reject Black Star's invitation? I don't recommend it. "
Heber then looked at him and slowly said, "Reason?"
"The dynasty's attitude is very clear. They support Black Star's action. If you reject it, you will be going against the dynasty. It's not a good choice." Sorokin shook his head. "If everyone else in the dynasty goes and you don't, it will be too out of line. At that time, it won't matter if you go or not. It will be even more embarrassing if you don't go."
"I don't need you to teach me." Heber snorted. "What about you? Are you going?"
"Of course I'll go." Sorokin smiled. "After all, Black Star and I are just business opponents. We don't have any grudges. Plus, I can't afford to offend him."
He did not like to step out of line. Only by following the crowd would he be able to hide himself.
You're really thick-skinned … Heber could not help but curse in his mind.
"Sigh, what a pity. If only the two of us were the ones who made this event happen." Sorokin sighed. "Maybe we Beyond Grade As know the reason and don't think it's a big deal. However, to the outside world, it's too glorious. Black Star has hundreds of supporters. If the Black Star Corps is listed, just this wave alone will cause his market value to skyrocket."
Now that I'm participating in this event, I should be able to get some benefits and increase the market value of the Limitless Financial Group by a little … Sorokin thought.
Ignoring Sorokin, Heber looked at the invitation again. He was unwilling to watch Black Star become the leader of the Star Field.
However, after the previous lesson, he already knew that he was not a match for Han Xiao. There was nothing he could do.
…
Star Pupil Protoss.
"He's even inviting me?"
Sisko was shocked.
Honestly speaking, he did not want to accept Han Xiao's invitation at all.
However, the problem was that he did not dare to reject.
Black Star was too powerful now. Sisko's race was in the Shattered Star Ring. If he rejected Black Star, he would find an excuse to attack him. What would happen then?
Even if the two of them had a deep grudge, Sisko had been keeping a low profile all these years and did not take any revenge. At this time, he did not dare offend Han Xiao.
I'm too frustrated as a Beyond Grade A!
Move! I have to move!
Sisko roared in his mind. This was the second time his mentality exploded this month.
…
Han Xiao did not announce the Hero Invitations to the outside world, but there were still some rumors.
Logically speaking, it was very difficult for news to leak within the Beyond Grade A circle. However, the situation was just that strange. Many galactic media outlets in the Shattered Star Ring received the news from somewhere and excitedly sent people to the Black Star Corps to ask around, wanting to follow the news and create a big piece of news.
The most direct manifestation of this was that the Black Star Corps headquarters recently had a new beautiful scene, which was a group of paparazzi with amazing perseverance, chasing after the army members and asking them all sorts of questions.
Han Xiao did not stop them. The situation was obvious. The dynasty was definitely the one who secretly leaked the news. Since they were going to hold a grand event, it was inevitable to create hype and maximize the impact.
He originally wanted to do it himself, but the dynasty snatched the job away from him, saving him a lot of trouble.
There was still some time before the date of the meeting, and most of the Beyond Grade As had yet to arrive. Han Xiao let Sylvia prepare for this matter while he paid attention to the reactions of the various Beyond Grade As.
He originally prepared some methods to persuade some of the Beyond Grade As, but to his surprise, the progress seemed to be smoother than expected. Most people were convinced by him, and there seemed to be no need for him to use any methods at all.
"So, unknowingly, my face has become so big …"
Han Xiao sighed to himself and felt very happy.
After spending decades in the universe, I've finally developed the Face Fruit to the stage of awakening!
Since things were going smoothly, he was relieved. Other than the benefits that everyone knew about, he also had a goal that no one else knew about.
Legendary Points!
The source of Legendary Points was very complicated. One of the ways was to do all sorts of important things and gather more than half of the Beyond Grade As in the universe for a tea party. Han Xiao estimated that there was an eighty percent chance that he would obtain Universal Legendary Points. He might even obtain Political Assets.
Furthermore, he could use this opportunity to check out all the details of these Beyond Grade As and memorize their attributes!
Just as he was thinking of a plan, the door suddenly opened, and Hila walked in. She went straight to the point and did not beat around the bush.
She did not beat around the bush and said, "It's been five days. I've rested enough. Let's do it."
It had been five days since Hella returned. She had been looking forward to a spar, and today, she finally came looking for him again.
"Okay, let's have a spar, but not in the headquarters. We'll have to repair the equipment if it's broken. Let's have a field battle in the universe."
Hearing this, Han Xiao stood up. He had already promised Hella long ago, so he had no reason to reject her today.
