"How exactly did you …"
Oathkeeper's head was full of question marks, and he could not control the shock in his heart.
He had not even gotten used to this top-secret information yet, and he had already heard it from a second person. It was like he had just met a beautiful stranger on a messaging app last night, and his girlfriend called him early in the morning and scolded him. He was so scared that he was about to vomit.
Without any precautions, his secret was exposed. This feeling made his hair stand on end.
Han Xiao raised his hand, interrupted him, and said meaningfully, "I've said before that I have my own intelligence channels. You only need to remember two things. First, the information I have is far beyond your imagination. Second, our goals are roughly the same. As for the details … you don't have to ask."
Oathkeeper could only shut his mouth. His brain was spinning rapidly, secretly guessing the source of Han Xiao's information.
Under the sudden shock earlier, he had almost thought that the problem was with him. However, after regaining his senses, his rationality told him that this possibility was very slim. There was most likely another reason.
Top secret information like the Great Reboot and Iterations should only be known by those who had come into contact with the Sanctums. He could think of a more reliable explanation, which was that Black Star had some sort of interaction with the Sanctums, so he obtained this information by accident.
Beyond Grade A Supers had a very low probability of interacting with the Sanctums, which gave them some random revelations. This was how the earliest information about the Sanctums was obtained in the organization. This was also the foundation of the Holy Covenant.
However, when Oathkeeper thought of his previous interactions with Han Xiao, he felt that things were not so simple. Black Star definitely had some means that outsiders did not know about.
He could not think of an explanation that could convince himself, and he felt that Han Xiao was giving off a mysterious aura.
This time, Han Xiao clapped his hands, pretending to be profound, and said, "You can't hide your little thoughts from me. I don't like people tricking me. I hope this is the last time. Otherwise, you know … Since we've already spoken, and we've both seen each other's trump cards, I think we can be honest with each other."
Having his thoughts exposed, Oathkeeper's face lost all light and he was too ashamed to show his face.
He forced himself to calm down and suppress the surging emotions in his heart. He asked cautiously, "What do you want?"
"First of all, I hope that you will tell me the truth. This is the basis of our mutual trust." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Oathkeeper hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke again. This time, he honestly did not tamper with the information.
He knew that he had lost the initiative, and Black Star had already grasped the most important secret. It did not matter whether he revealed it or not. It was very likely that this was still a test, so he did not dare to play any more tricks.
Han Xiao listened patiently for a while before a smile appeared on his face again. "You know you're wrong and you can change. Not bad, not bad."
This time, Oathkeeper's words were basically the same as Jayz's. He obediently revealed the true mechanism of the Sanctum Revival and was intimidated by him.
After Oathkeeper finished speaking, he paused for a moment before cautiously saying, "I've already told you what I know. Since you know the true situation of the Sanctum Revival and also know what it means to a Beyond Grade A, you won't try to monopolize it, right?"
Han Xiao did not answer directly. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Do you think that the Sanctums will be monopolized by anyone?"
"What do you mean?" Oathkeeper did not understand what Han Xiao meant.
Han Xiao paced around, stopped smiling, and slowly said, "Let's put it this way.
The existence of the Sanctums is independent and should not be controlled by anyone, just like a public library … Since we can borrow the functions of the Sanctums, others will have the same opportunity. Have you thought about what will happen when the advanced civilizations, including the three Universal Civilizations, stabilize the method of Sanctum Revival? "
Oathkeeper tilted his head and thought for a while before saying with uncertainty, "They will continue to revive their direct descendants, maintain the scale of their high-level combatants, and use this as a bargaining chip to recruit allies?"
"That's right, that's exactly the case. In the long run, this is something that will inevitably happen. Once the advanced civilizations master the method to enter the Sanctum, they will usher in a period of rapid development, further widening the strength gap between civilizations and free Beyond Grade As. At that time, the Beyond Grade As will come to a fork in fate."
Han Xiao looked at Oathkeeper, who was deep in thought, and slowly said, "Think about it.
If there is no Beyond Grade A Association, no Holy Covenant, and no Beyond Grade A alliance that can stabilize the Sanctum Revival, then the Beyond Grade As will be controlled by the civilizations. Those who yearn for freedom will not be revived by the civilizations, and those who are disobedient will be eradicated. In this way, only the obedient Beyond Grade As will be left in the universe, obedient Beyond Grade As will be obedient dogs for the advanced civilizations, forever trapped in faction disputes, having no choice but to kill each other. There is basically no other choice … "
He explained the situation of the Celestial Star Alliance in a hypothetical way. The more Oathkeeper listened, the more shocked he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Han Xiao said was very likely to happen.
"You're right. We have to guard against this possibility. I didn't expect you to be able to see so far ahead. As expected of you, you have foresight!"
Oathkeeper had a look of amazement.
Of course, you think I'm a prediction, but I'm actually a spoiler!
Han Xiao secretly smiled, but he put on a serious expression and said with a deep voice, "To avoid such a future, we have to let the Beyond Grade A front have a way to stabilize the revival. That's why I said we have a common goal. This is a fight for the entire class. Every Beyond Grade A is a beneficiary, and no one can monopolize it."
These words struck a chord with Oathkeeper's thoughts, and he suddenly felt a sense of empathy for Oathkeeper, as if he was a hero of the same mind.
"So, you want to cooperate in this regard?" Oathkeeper's eyes sparkled.
Han Xiao nodded.
"That's right. You have the Holy Covenant, and I have … er, I'm about to control the Beyond Grade A Association. We've both united a portion of the Beyond Grade As and have different resources. As long as we become strategic partners and work together, we can complete this important task earlier, so the Beyond Grade As won't have any worries and can completely unite to change their fate."
Oathkeeper shook his head helplessly. "Actually, I don't have a choice. You're the second person who knows about this. Only cooperation is the most beneficial for both of us … But who will control the revival channel? The Holy Covenant, the Beyond Grade A Association, or both of us?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, both of us will control each other.
One in the light, one in the dark, and one in the light, watching over each other. The Beyond Grade A Association will be the main force on the surface, fighting for the recognition of the advanced civilizations. The Holy Covenant will take in those Beyond Grade As who want to hide their identities and act as insurance in the dark … After all, the advanced civilizations won't accept the fact that the Beyond Grade As are continuously reviving so easily. They're very likely to do something to the association. It's best to let a portion of the Beyond Grade As hide under the surface and not let the advanced civilizations see our full strength. This way, they'll hesitate to take action. "
If possible, Han Xiao also wanted the association to monopolize the Sanctum revival channel. However, Oathkeeper also knew about this and had a group of Primordial Ones as partners. They would definitely study it on their own. Instead of splitting up and causing trouble, it was better to become strategic partners. After all, there were not many conflicts of interest, and their goals were more or less the same.
Furthermore, it was not a bad thing to let the Holy Covenant be a backup plan. The two sides could form a complementary cooperation model. If the Beyond Grade As wanted to hide their identities, they could go to the Holy Covenant. If they wanted to have a place in the universe, they could come to the association. The members of the two organizations could be changed at will, just like being an official and being an outsider.
Oathkeeper nodded, indicating that he accepted this plan.
Seeing this, Han Xiao's tone became a little more serious. "It's best if we complete this before the advanced civilizations come into contact with the Sanctums, so don't reveal the truth of the Sanctums to anyone. For the time being, only the two of us know about it."
Kasuyi was also an insider, but of course, Han Xiao would not say this out loud. Otherwise, he would reveal a lot of information and reduce his mysterious image in Oathkeeper's mind.
"Hmm, I won't tell anyone." Oathkeeper knew the importance of this matter and nodded solemnly.
The two of them discussed the specific cooperation project for a while and came to an agreement.
Oathkeeper also told him the method to enter the Sanctums. According to him, the way to enter the six Sanctums was different. The Holy Covenant currently only had the method to enter the Third Sanctum, which required the collection of various' keys', including Primal Esper Ability Entities. They had basically been used up the last time they entered, so they had to collect them from the beginning.
As for the source of the method, Oathkeeper claimed that part of it was a vague revelation obtained by some Beyond Grade A members during the exploration era, and the other part was the result of Destiny's Child. He said that Destiny's Child was very special and might reveal what the 'keys' of the different Sanctums were. The probability was extremely low and completely random. The Holy Covenant mainly used this method to restore the complete method to enter the Third Sanctum and also obtained incomplete information about the other Sanctums.
Han Xiao was more curious about the First Sanctum, but from the looks of it, entering the Third Sanctum should be the fastest route. With the experience of the Holy Covenant organization, coupled with their own resources, they could greatly reduce the time needed to collect the 'keys' again.
However, in order to revive more Beyond Grade As, they still needed to collect the relevant mediums, and the descendants of the Beyond Grade As were the biggest targets.
"By the way, since we've decided to cooperate, I hope to meet the revived Primordial Ones."
"Why do you want to meet them?"
Oathkeeper was subconsciously on guard. He would not completely trust Han Xiao.
Han Xiao smiled and said, "I remember you saying before that you can't force the revived Primordial Ones. There should be many among this group of people who want to occupy a place in the universe and develop their own organizations. In that case, the Beyond Grade A Association will be their best backer. I hope to contact them and convince them to support me after joining the association. "
These Primordial Ones all had their own goals. They were all Beyond Grade As who had once been powerful, so it was basically impossible to force them to hide their identities. Some of them would definitely cause trouble in the universe like in Han Xiao's previous life, thus shocking the galactic society and becoming one of the fuses of the Calamity of the Supers.
Now that there was the Beyond Grade A Association, Han Xiao felt that he could absorb some of them and strengthen the association while strengthening his own faction.
With the association's intervention, the situation of the Calamity of the Supers will definitely change drastically … Han Xiao thought.
Hearing this, Oathkeeper hesitated for a while before nodding in the end.
"Then I'll arrange for you to meet as soon as possible … But you better be mentally prepared. They died early and did not experience the changes of generations of Beyond Grade As. They won't be as low-key as me, so they might be a little … arrogant."
"It's fine." Han Xiao grinned. "I specialize in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction."
