The official announcement of the three Universal Civilizations spread throughout the various Star Fields, quickly dispelling the uneasy atmosphere of the galactic society ever since the outbreak of the Intelligent Plague.
Although most of the civilizations and races criticized the three Universal Civilizations for some of their ways of doing things, when it came to the safety of the explored universe, they had extraordinary trust in the three Universal Civilizations. These three backing always brought them reassuring strength.
Before the impact of the announcement faded, the three Universal Civilizations officially lifted the seal on the Ancient Star Desert half a month later, allowing this Star Field to return to the system of the galactic society.
The first-generation Virtual Mutiny Virus was basically eliminated, and the three Universal Civilizations set up special firewalls in many Star Fields. Without its self-evolving core, the virus would not be able to cause any more trouble and would completely disappear with time. The threat had been removed.
The specific situation of the Ancient Star Desert also spread, which was much more detailed than the announcement of the three Universal Civilizations. The enthusiasm and interest of the galactic residents soared again.
On the way back, Han Xiao paid attention to the public opinion of the galactic society. It was mostly one-sided praise for the achievements of the three Universal Civilizations and the Beyond Grade A mechanic think tank led by him. There were also criticisms of Manison of the Mecha Empire mixed in with complaints about the security of the area.
During the Intelligent Plague, the various Star Fields were not peaceful either. Most of the time, it was some local rebel organizations that tried to incite panic, but they were all suppressed with iron fists. As for the mercenaries who tried to sneak into the Ancient Star Desert to obtain the virus, most of them were sent to the prisons of the three Universal Civilizations, and the rest were all on the wanted list.
The public opinion was very good, and there were no discordant comments. Or rather, the negative comments were all resolved.
The galactic media of the various regions were like blood hunters who smelled blood. They swarmed to the Ancient Star Desert, visited the various planets, and dug up the details of the disaster. They used an extremely short period of time to produce a large number of special programs to compete for news headlines. This was all approved by the three Universal Civilizations behind the scenes.
Power came from obedience. The three Universal Civilizations had completed a great undertaking, so they needed the media to guide the public opinion and promote it, taking the opportunity to consolidate the recognition of their rule.
The Black Star Corps fleet carrying Han Xiao and the others passed through the dynasty's military stargate. As soon as they arrived at the Shattered Star Ring, the dynasty sent someone to contact Han Xiao again.
"Award ceremony?"
Han Xiao heard this term from Tarrokov, the marshal of the dynasty's exploration army, who was also in charge of contacting him.
"That's right. Under the leadership of the three Universal Civilizations, the explored universe has once again resolved a universe-level disaster. It will definitely be recorded as a milestone in history. As for those who have contributed to the disaster relief operation, we have always held a large-scale award ceremony to commend their achievements. Naturally, you're on the list of invitees."
Han Xiao was no stranger to this. Although he felt that it was more or less formalized, he also knew that this kind of activity was indispensable. The major event of the country was the sacrifice and sacrifice, and life needed a sense of ritual.
"Alright, where will the award ceremony be held? What time? You don't want me to go to the Central Galaxy, do you? I just returned to the base. "
"This is a joint award ceremony held by the three Universal Civilizations. In order to conform to the trend of the times and make it convenient for the Beyond Grade As to attend, we've decided to hold the ceremony in the new Flickering World in three months.
"It's indeed quite convenient." Han Xiao nodded. Suddenly, he lowered his voice and asked in a mysterious tone, "Tell me, have you guys completed the deployment against the Supercluster Alliance? When will you take action?"
"I feel that this is not the time to talk about this …" Tarrokov coughed and lowered his voice. "Anyway, after the fourth phase of the free competition zone is completed, the three Universal Civilizations will consider redistributing the territory occupied by the Supercluster Alliance. They will not take it back but share it with the free organizations and other civilizations. Maybe they will come up with something similar to the 'New Star Field Anti-Monopoly Exploration Law' as the reason."
What a good job … Han Xiao curled his lips. That was how things had gone in his previous life, so he was not surprised.
"Speaking of which, before you guys removed the seal on the Ancient Star Desert, did you do anything to the Supercluster there?"
"We did not this time, and you know the reason. However, although we did not do anything to them, we took the opportunity to leave behind a large number of spies and scouts to closely monitor the movement of the Star Arc Civilization's troops and resources, preparing for any conflicts that might break out," Tarrokov explained.
"How evil." Han Xiao clicked his tongue.
"You're not qualified to say that," Tarrokov said. "Don't think that I don't know. I heard a lot of rumors from the intelligence department. It's said that you left a lot of things in the Ancient Star Desert's black market."
"Same to you." Han Xiao did not mind.
The two of them had known each other for many years and were already old acquaintances. After exchanging a few words, they were about to end the call.
This time, Tarrokov thought of something and said, "If you have time, you can watch a show. Our colleagues in the Public Opinion Control Department seem to have sent some information about you over."
After hanging up, Han Xiao received a link from Tarrokov.
After opening it, the virtual screen changed and showed a political talk show. It seemed to have been updated not long ago. This was a show similar to 'Ruden's Date', but it was more authoritative. It was called 'Focus Talk', and it took the route of the upper class.
He opened it and took a look. This episode was a report on the Intelligent Plague, analyzing and introducing the impact of the Ancient Star Desert. Han Xiao fast-forwarded for a while and finally saw his name.
A decent looking Godora person was talking on the screen. The subtitles beside introduced this person as a senior researcher of the Galactic Society, a scholar.
"… Before Black Star walked out of the Blue Star Civilization, the Godora Civilization already knew about this person. We personally witnessed the rise of this strong neighbor, the Black Star Corps, and we even fought side by side in history. "The Black Star Corps has passed the primitive accumulation stage. From the recent Blackstar Cup, the Holy Light Emissary project, and the Intelligent Plague incident, it is not hard to see that they are working hard to take on more social responsibilities.
"Although Black Star is a universe warlord, his way of doing things is not the same as others. Now that he has a huge amount of social resources in his hands, he seems to be more interested in using these resources to maintain and improve the universe's environment. "The other Beyond Grade A warlords make us feel awe and fear, but for Black Star, we feel more respect and admiration. He gives us a different feeling, diluting the instinctive fear of the galactic residents toward the peak of an individual's strength. Maybe this is the source of his extraordinary affinity …"
Just as Han Xiao was feeling great listening to him brag, the image changed, and the scenes of his deeds flashed past. Coupled with the narration in a steady tone, it sounded very serious like an official news report.
Very soon, it was time for the most recent incident. This show had obtained the first-hand video of the confrontation on Planet Magnetic Cloud and broadcast it exclusively to the entire universe.
This is the promotional material that the dynasty sent over, Han Xiao thought to himself.
The image recorded the confrontation between himself and Manison from a third-party perspective. He heard himself say that famous quote again in the image, and there was even a close-up.
"… No matter how big the universe is, there is an end, but ambition is endless."
Han Xiao stared at the screen, and his lips curled up.
He had to admit that at this moment, he looked very handsome in the image.
The reason the dynasty sent this video was probably because they thought that this scene could improve his public image and help with publicity.
The next moment, the narration ended, and the image changed to a luxurious office. There was a new interviewer, who also had a big background. The subtitles introduced this person as the chairman of the Stewart Committee.
Keriber Pederseus, a tenured professor of the Supreme Institute of Technology of the Radiant Federation, the principal of the Academy of Truth, the recipient of medals such as' Stellaris' and 'Eye of Heller' … A long list of honors and titles could not be written in the image, so it could only be played.
The Stewart Committee was not some random Tom, Dick, or Harry; it had a big background, a long history, and a high status. Its founder was the founder of the Energy Level Theory, Dr. Stewart Ona, who was the traditional 'Father of Supers'.
In his later years, he created an award under his own name to reward experts who had made significant achievements in various fields. The committee was the organization that managed and evaluated the awards. It was very similar to the Nobel Prize in Han Xiao's memory from his previous life, but it had a higher status and had been in operation for thousands of years.
Every year, the three Universal Civilizations and the advanced civilizations would provide special sponsorships. The Stewart Award was absolutely objective and neutral, and the awards were not affected by any political or economic factors. It was selected every three years, and although it could not be said that it was always popular, it was indeed very authoritative.
Keriber stroked his neatly trimmed gray braided beard and smiled at the camera.
"Black Star is a strong person in the universe, and he's also a respected scientist. I've been friends with him for a very long time. Putting aside his abilities, I also admire his ideals. I'm also a scientist, so I'm very clear about our strong desire and curiosity toward learning. No one knows better than me how much perseverance it takes to destroy an unknown technology with one's own hands. "I really admire Black Star. He became the Special Security Advisor of the three Universal Civilizations. This is the first time in history, and he deserves it.
"I can reveal some inside information here. Our Stewart Committee has received many nominations for Black Star's Peace Award from our members. The number of people who want Black Star to be the winner of this year's Stewart Peace Award is very high. From my personal point of view, I think very highly of him. He has made a huge contribution to the universe."
Keriber did not hide his admiration for Han Xiao at all. At the end of the interview, he made a simple conclusion.
"In the future, when we look back at this period of history, we might see Black Star's choice today as the turning point of the era. He might have influenced the direction of the world."
Han Xiao sighed.
He had heard of the Stewart Peace Award before, but such a grand thing naturally had nothing to do with the players in his previous life.
"If I win this year's Stewart Peace Award, I'll probably get another Universe Legendary Point. The dynasty is really sparing no effort in promoting me."
Han Xiaoxin chuckled in his mind. He was very satisfied with the three Universal Civilizations' promotion. During this time, he had been watching the various shows bragging about him.
With so many Honor Points, he could use them as a protective halo to reflect damage. If anyone attacked him, they would definitely suffer the backlash of public opinion and lose a lot of Reputation Points. Even if Radiance and Ethereal wanted to deal with him, they would have to ruin his reputation first. Otherwise, they would have to weigh the loss of Reputation Points.
Beep beep …
At this time, his communicator rang. He had received a call request.
Han Xiao took a look. It was a call from Ames.
As soon as the call was connected, Ames' beautiful figure in a black dress was projected in front of him. Her arms were crossed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"I saw the recording. You copied what I said."
"Haha, I suddenly thought of it."
"Looks like you got it. You have a deep impression of it." Ames narrowed her eyes. Her crescent-shaped eyes hid a watery smile, showing that she was in an extremely good mood.
"I basically remember everything you said."
"You're getting more and more likable …"
Ames blinked and chuckled.
"I have nothing to do at home. Do you have time to visit me?"
"Miss me?"
"Are you coming or not?" Ames raised her brows slightly.
"Since you've already invited me, how can I not go? Wait for me to arrange my schedule. It's on the way anyway."
"Hmm, I'll wait for you at home."
Ames took two steps forward, raised her hand, and touched Han Xiao's cheek. Unfortunately, it was just a projection, so there was no feeling of physical contact. She then chuckled and ended the call, disappearing from the spot.
Han Xiao touched his face, shook his head, and laughed.
"It's not good to come empty-handed. I'd better bring some gifts …"
It just so happened that the three Universal Civilizations had released his authority, so he could exchange an Esper Ultimate Knowledge for Ames.
He could even give it to Hella in the future.
At the same time, he also had something to ask Aesop. Having an old man at home was like having a treasure. Maybe this old man would know some information about the Sanctum, the Holy Covenant, Oathkeeper, or Manison.
Furthermore, Han Xiao had a vague intuition.
He had a feeling that if he went to find Ames now, he would encounter some unexpected gains …
Thinking of this, Han Xiao could not help but look out the window. Harrison happened to pass by.
