After confirming that the plan was feasible, the two of them split up to recruit more people.
The peak Beyond Grade As that Han Xiao was more familiar with were the three old friends of the dynasty. Most of the others were friends he had fought with.
In comparison, Manison was more familiar with people. Radiance, Ethereal, the Galactic Black Market, and the neutral peak Beyond Grade As were all lobbied by him.
Since his connections were indeed not as good as the other party's, Han Xiao did not stop Manison from doing more work. He had already made up his mind to compete from other directions.
Only the dynasty's side was managed by Han Xiao. He sent the development union proposal to Milizaus and Kant, inviting the two of them to participate in this grand event. As for the Dark Emperor, Han Xiao did not invite him.
Thanks to the consensus reached during the Meeting of the Gods, most peak Beyond Grade As readily agreed and agreed to build a Beyond Grade A platform in the form of a development union. There were also a small number of people who hesitated, worried about the reaction of the three Universal Civilizations, but overall, it went smoothly.
The direct Beyond Grade As of the advanced civilizations were not included in the list of invitees. When the development union was fully established, they would only send out invitations to this group of people. After all, most of these direct Beyond Grade As placed their own civilization above their personal interests. Although respectable, they were not on the same side.
Kant and Milizaus were both allies. While accepting Han Xiao's invitation, they also raised their concerns.
"Black Star, your relationship with the dynasty has finally improved. Now that you're taking the lead to build a Beyond Grade A Association, the dynasty will be unhappy with you, right?"
"No ruler wants to see the unstable factors in their jurisdiction unite, but there's no other way. Everyone has different standpoints, so things can't always go as planned." Han Xiao nodded.
Kant reminded him, "You have to be careful. Manison's goal is to seek benefits. He wants to tie the Beyond Grade As together and use them as his bargaining chip. You're still young, so don't be used by him."
These peak Beyond Grade As actually knew that Manison wanted to use them, but because they saw long-term benefits, they did not reject this plan.
"I know his intentions, but doing this is beneficial to the Beyond Grade As. If it can really be realized, it can reduce the number of Beyond Grade As killing each other due to faction affiliation." On one hand, Han Xiao wanted to preserve his strength. On the other hand, he wanted to intervene in the Calamity of the Supers as a chess player.
"If you ask me …" Kant lowered his voice and said, "If the Beyond Grade A Association is fully formed, we can solve the problem of excessive individual strength on our own. Every time the Beyond Grade As grow to a certain point, we'll do an internal cleansing and get rid of some of the non-lawful fellows, actively balancing the ratio of individuals to the collective. This is better than the three Universal Civilizations doing it personally."
Hearing this, Han Xiao couldn't help but take another look at him.
This was to snatch the liquidation right from the hands of the three Universal Civilizations, using some ordinary Beyond Grade As as the price to maintain their peak Beyond Grade A status.
If they continued to develop normally, the Beyond Grade A Association would indeed have a certain chance of evolving into such a state. When the Beyond Grade As were strong enough and successfully raised their status, the association would actively control the number of Beyond Grade As to prevent the three Universal Civilizations from massacring the Beyond Grade As …
With the Beyond Grade A Association trimming the branches, they would maintain the number of Beyond Grade As at a level where they could threaten the three Universal Civilizations but not force them to take action. This way, they would be able to decide who to kill and how many to kill. With the initiative in hand, their losses would naturally be much smaller than if the three Universal Civilizations took action.
Among the peak Beyond Grade As, there were probably quite a few who had the same idea as Kant. The act of climbing the wall and pulling out the ladder was nothing new. After all, once the number of Beyond Grade As reached a certain level, the nature of the organization would gradually change. To most Beyond Grade As, the risk far outweighed the benefits.
As expected, although these peak Beyond Grade As agreed to join, they all had different plans … Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and did not say anything.
Overall, there were no twists and turns in recruiting people. Very soon, the operation was carried out. The organizations of the leaders cooperated, mobilized resources, and planned to choose a location in the Flickering World to build the development union's headquarters.
Such a huge movement naturally couldn't be hidden from the other organizations, and the leaders did not intend to hide it. After all, the nature of the organization was not a secret, and the three Universal Civilizations were supposed to know about it.
Of course, the news also reached the dynasty's ears.
…
Pa!
"Black Star is pushing his luck!"
In the Ruler's office, Bekorodi slammed the table with a furious expression.
He pulled a few of the hardline upper echelons and angrily scolded Han Xiao in front of Uranril.
"Look at Black Star's recent actions. He doesn't even put the dynasty in his eyes! He just eased the relationship with the dynasty, and he dares to do such a thing. Does he think that the dynasty's kindness in opening up the Evolutionary Totem is weakness? "
Uranril rubbed her brows. "Then, what do you think we should do?"
Bekorodi yelled, "I think we should warn Black Star. If he insists, the dynasty will withdraw the order to open up the Evolutionary Totem as a warning to him."
Uranril did not comment. "If we withdraw this order, what do you think Radiance and Ethereal will do?"
"Humph, the two of them have coveted the Evolutionary Totem for a long time, but they know what's more important. On this issue, the Evolutionary Totem has to stand aside. Radiance and Ethereal will definitely not speak up for Black Star."
Bekorodi's tone was confident, and he was very sure of this judgment.
Uranril knocked on the table and slowly said, "You're right. However, after the Meeting of the Gods, we already expected such a situation. It's useless to warn Black Star alone. This is the general trend."
When she found out that Black Star and the others had the intention of unifying the Beyond Grade As, she knew that the hardline faction would come to cause trouble.
To be honest, Uranril did not like to see signs of Beyond Grade As working together. However, this issue was very sensitive and involved a lot of people, so she could not make a decision casually.
Thus, she could not easily withdraw the order to open up the Evolutionary Totem and warn Black Star like what Bekorodi had said.
His suggestion was rejected, but Bekorodi was not angry. He knew that the Ruler would do this. This time, he was only there to express the attitude of the hardline faction, so he pretended to be angry and left with everyone.
Only Uranril was left in the room. She shook her head, opened the star map of the Flickering World, and analyzed the situation.
Opening up the Flickering World would affect the original structure of the universe. The dynasty had long known this. First, it was the Supercluster Alliance, and now, it was the Beyond Grade As. The influence was gradually showing.
"The price of exploration and expansion is turmoil. Every class wants to redistribute the benefits …" Uranril sighed.
…
Currently, the development union was still a grassroots organization. Only a group of peak Beyond Grade As were in the early stages of preparation. During this time, they would have to negotiate with the three Universal Civilizations, and it would take at least a few months for it to be officially established.
This matter did not require full attention. Han Xiao had a lot of free time, so he had been focusing on repairing and strengthening the Mech Legion, as well as creating new equipment.
After many failures, he finally created the Gold Grade Emperor's Cape in the workshop.
This was the second Universal Treasure that he had personally created. [Spirit Instrument] unlocked the second layer effect, and at the same time, he received a new God's Trait Transformation point.
The second layer bonus also increased the basic success rate of Gold Grade blueprint creation and research. The increase was the same as the first layer, 2.5% and 1.2% respectively. However, the second layer had a new attribute, which increased the mutation rate of Universe Wonders by 0.2%.
Han Xiao looked at the description. This was the basic increase in the probability of positive mutations during the creation of Universal Treasures. Space Wonders were usually stronger than normal Gold Grade equipment, and they might have some 'unsolvable' supplementary abilities.
Han Xiao threw this God's Trait Transformation point into the Machinery path, and [God's Trait Transformation- Machinery] unlocked the third layer effect.
Third Stage: + 3 Machinery Skill Levels for Class Stages below [Apostle Mechanic], + 50% Assembly Line Production Efficiency, + 10% Quality of Assembly Line Products, -25% Material Cost, + 1,500 INT, + 30 Potential Points.
"It increased the levels of many Basic Machinery Skills, increased the production speed, and even gave me some INT and Potential Points. Not bad, right?" Han Xiao pondered.
He had all sorts of skills that could convert INT into Machinery Affinity. 1,500 points gave him about a 400% increase in Machinery Affinity, and 30 Potential Points could at least upgrade his Ultimate Knowledge branch by one level.
Although the third layer effect looked a little messy, it seemed pretty good when added together, especially the + 3 Basic Machinery Skills. The bonus was considerable. After all, low-level Class Stages also had many Machinery Affinity skills.
This time, the target of the point reset was Agility. Because of the amount of work involved, the difficulty of creating the Emperor's Cape was higher than the King's Cape. The value of the reset was 375 points, all of which were converted into Free Attributes.
"I've finally gotten this equipment."
After solving the backlog of work, Han Xiao felt refreshed and put away the Emperor's Cape.
Everything that needed to be built was done. It was time for him to make a trip to the secondary dimension.
The Flickering World Beyond Grade A Development Union was still in preparation, and this was not something that could be done overnight. The three Universal Civilizations would definitely have the intention to hold him accountable and oppose him. He could guess what the dynasty was going to say, so it was a good opportunity for him to go out and avoid the dynasty's fatal calls.
Furthermore, Ames had already stayed for quite some time, so it would not be good to make her wait for too long.
…
On the other side, in the Red Empire territory, somewhere in the Constellation Corridor.
This was a large galactic military fortress. A giant spacetime gate that was several times larger than a normal stargate lay in the middle of the base. It was currently in a dormant state and looked like an oval arch.
A figure was floating in front of this giant spacetime gate. It was Dark Emperor Clottey. He had taken off the uniform of the Ruler's Guards and changed into a specially made lightweight mechanical suit.
The respectful voice of the base commander came from the communication channel of the helmet.
"Your Excellency Clottey, this mechanical suit is specifically used for traveling through secondary dimensions. It can anchor the coordinates of the main universe. There is also a portable anchoring device inside. Please do not damage or throw it away, or you might get lost in the overlapping secondary dimensions …"
"No need to introduce me. It's not my first time going to a secondary dimension." Clottey's tone was calm.
"Okay, we are about to open the secondary dimension portal. His Excellency Guzar, who is in charge of the outpost, will welcome you."
As his voice fell, the giant spacetime gate in front of him gradually activated. Bright rays of light emerged from the gate and quickly turned into a vortex.
This was a variant of the stargate technology, a large-scale teleportation device specifically used to travel through secondary dimensions.
Quietly watching the spacetime gate activate, Clottey opened the secondary dimension database built into the mechanical suit. It stored the overview of the secondary dimensions that the dynasty had explored over the years, including the space coordinates and energy frequency records.
The situation of the secondary dimensions was very different from the main universe. This database was equivalent to a map, and at the same time, it could use tracking devices to remotely mark it. It was equivalent to a pathfinding system.
Clottey browsed the database and filtered. His eyes quickly locked onto one of the secondary dimensions and silently marked it as the target location.
This secondary dimension was called [Evil Convergence]!
