Beiger, Pangon, and the others returned to the pale planet. When they were fighting in space earlier, they had consciously avoided this planet. Some of the shockwaves were neutralized by Oathkeeper, so the planet was spared.
Han Xiao picked up the topic from earlier and continued to talk with the others. This time, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere was much better. Beiger and the others listened to his opinions seriously.
As the old saying went, as long as your fist was big enough, you could make the other party listen to you calmly. Lu Shuren was not lying.
"… Your current situation is definitely not suitable for you to come out. After all, your combat strength has declined after your revival, and you're already behind the times. It's best to find a way to make up for this gap. If you ask me, you should spend more time in seclusion to train and learn new technology and knowledge."
Han Xiao said.
This would not have been very convincing before the sparring, but now, everyone agreed. They thought that they could only revive once. Now that they had the chance to make up for their regrets, fulfill their ambitions, and climb to the top, they naturally cherished it and wanted to make sure nothing went wrong.
This was a rare opportunity. These Primordial Ones were all patient. There was nothing they could not wait for.
"Black Star, you've really broadened the horizons of us old antiques today. Even in the exploration era, not many people were your match." Beiger sighed.
In the sparring earlier, they had lost all face, but they did not hold any grudges. At this level, they were not people who did not know what was good for them.
They were not enemies. Although Han Xiao's words were harsh, they were the truth. A powerful benefactor naturally had a special place in their hearts.
"I've always suggested that you join the Beyond Grade A Association. Although the modern era is more peaceful than the exploration era, there are still undercurrents. Beyond Grade As are not safe. You can check the Tragedy of the Pinnacles online. That was a purge by the advanced civilizations. They've always wanted to control our numbers, so it's necessary for us to stick together." Han Xiao began to promote the association again.
This time, other than Pangon, who chose to "abandon this life for the sake of seeking revenge", the other four people swept away their previous disapproving attitude and began to take Han Xiao's opinion seriously. They lowered their heads and seriously considered this route.
Seeing this, Han Xiao continued, "There are more benefits to joining the association. You've just revived and are all alone. You don't have any organizations under you, so even if you want to develop from scratch, it'll take a lot of time. Furthermore, the cake of the various Star Fields has already been divided up by the various large organizations. Even if you have the strength, you'll still encounter many obstacles … On the contrary, if you become a member of the Beyond Grade A Association, you'll immediately be able to borrow the intelligence, resources, military, and other resources of the other members. If you want to build an organization, we'll also help you and provide you with all kinds of help, helping you become a member of our collective interests …"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod, and they were more or less tempted.
The universe was too big. Without money and manpower, it was inconvenient to do anything.
During the exploration era, they had been supported by various civilizations, and they were used to the taste of power. Now that they had to start from scratch, they were not used to it.
Mei Ji pondered for a while before saying, "We're willing to support you, but you're only the vice president, so you can't make all the decisions. Furthermore, with your strength, the president definitely won't be too weak …"
"Hmm, that makes sense. We're grateful for your kindness, but we also have to think for ourselves. In comparison, wouldn't it be better to support the leader?" Beiger asked.
Han Xiao smiled.
"You guys don't know this. I have a problem with the president, and our paths are different. He's too ambitious and radical. He wants to bind the association to him and walk the same path as him to the end, which has already angered many people. There's no chance for him to be re-elected. Furthermore, he's old, and he might pass away one day, so there's no future in supporting him. However, I have a lot of friends, and the position of the next president is basically set. Furthermore, the chances of me being re-elected are very high. Investing in me is the best choice. I'm not boasting about this information. You guys can read it online … By the way, he was defeated by me. "
Although he had only defeated the Mecha Empire once and lost more than he won, it was not a lie to say that the other party was defeated by him. Anyway, old Manison was not here, so what could he say?
"I see."
The few of them realized that old Manison's reputation had been damaged again.
They talked for a while, and Han Xiao gave a lot of opinions. He also analyzed the current situation of the universe. Beiger and the others listened carefully and learned a lot.
After talking about the subtle relationship between the three Universal Civilizations, Han Xiao stopped talking, changed the topic, and smiled.
"Speaking of which, I'm very interested in the exploration era, but the only way to know about it is to find information online. You guys are all involved in that era, so maybe you can tell me more about the specific situation of that era?"
His trip this time was not only for the Calamity of the Supers but also to exchange information with the Primordial Ones. Seeing that the time was right, he threw out this topic.
"Then you've asked the right person. Who else in the universe knows more about that era than us?"
It had always been Han Xiao talking while they listened. Now that Han Xiao brought up a topic that they were familiar with, they immediately became interested and talked about the glory of the past, from the Dark Forest to the War of Heroes. They talked about everything under the sun.
Han Xiao nodded and listened, interrupting from time to time to ask questions. He learned a lot of secrets about the exploration era war from them, as well as some information about the Primordial Ones.
"Speaking of which, do you guys know this person called Soul Emperor?"
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
"Rovell Sissock? I fought with him a few times on the battlefield. This guy is quite capable, but I died earlier than him. I don't know what happened to him after that, "Mei Ji said.
"He died in battle." Beiger shook his head. "I killed him."
"You killed him?" Han Xiao was immediately interested.
"Hmm, to be more specific, Soul Emperor died in the encirclement on the battlefield. I was one of the participants. There were two others who participated in the encirclement, but I was the one who delivered the fatal blow."
Yo, isn't this a coincidence?
Han Xiao was very curious about Sorokin's expression after Beiger joined the association.
Hmm, with how cunning Sorokin is, even if he's shocked, he'll probably still have a fake smile on his face … Should I provoke him then?
Han Xiao suppressed his evil thoughts and asked, "Are you sure he's really dead? His mental Esper Ability is quite unique. He might have transferred his soul without anyone noticing."
"You're saying he faked his death?" Beiger was stunned. He thought for a while and shook his head. "I'm not sure. Anyway, I didn't notice anything unusual back then."
"I'm just guessing. If he lived to the modern era like Oathkeeper, would you be able to recognize him when you see him again?"
"This … it's hard to say. If he didn't change, my Soul Detection spell would be able to recognize him. By the way, Soul Emperor is also the previous owner of Soul Flame. Oathkeeper might be able to sense it when they meet … but the premise is that he didn't change his soul frequency. That's usually a unique sign."
Hearing that, Han Xiao rubbed his chin and started to think.
Sorokin is an expert in the mental game. He shouldn't have left such a flaw … but that might not be the case. After all, Sorokin lived to the modern era. He wouldn't expect to meet a Primordial One that he once interacted with.
No one in the modern era could prove that Sorokin was Soul Emperor. Instead, this batch of revived Primordial Ones became strong evidence … Tsk, if Beiger recognized Sorokin on the spot when he joined the association, it would be a huge joke.
"Black Star, I feel like you're hiding something. Do you know something? Is Soul Emperor really still alive?" Beiger could not help but ask.
"Who knows?"
Han Xiao shrugged. He had not decided if he should expose Sorokin's identity. Now was not the time to maximize his benefits.
He paused and asked, "By the way, there was a pair of sisters in the exploration era who had the Esper Abilities of Life and Death respectively. What do you think of them?"
"Nerkese and Eros … These sisters are very strong. They created the Underworld. Not many people are willing to mess with them." Pangon found a chance to interject.
"What's the Underworld?" Han Xiao pretended that he did not know.
"It's also a way to revive, but it has more disadvantages. You'll become a vassal of the two sisters …" The few of them explained.
Oathkeeper listened for a while and said hesitantly, "Back then, many Primordial Ones were looking for a way to revive. We chose the Holy Covenant, and some placed their hopes on the Underworld. However …"
Mei Ji shook her head. "Let me say it. Those two sisters studied the concept of life and death until they became obsessed. They're very unreliable. We once invited them to join the Holy Covenant, but they rejected us and then cut off contact. I don't know what happened to them. They should be dead."
Not just dead. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you. They actually committed suicide …
Han Xiaoxin complained in his mind. Suddenly, his body paused as he realized something.
When he first heard about the Underworld from the Landlady, he did not know about the Sanctums, but now it seemed … Was the act of the two sisters leaving behind Information Form Esper Ability Seeds equivalent to them grabbing the information of their own Esper Abilities from the Sanctums, allowing these two Esper Ability Seeds to pass down their life's understanding?
Han Technician was shocked. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the inside story was not simple.
Could it be that the reason the two sisters committed suicide was actually that they had discovered some clues about the Sanctum Revival and wanted to revive immediately after committing suicide to confirm their thoughts and confirm that this path was correct? Perhaps they failed in the end and only left behind the information of their Esper Abilities, unable to revive themselves …
Then, thinking about Kasuyi's situation, could it be affected by the God's Trait Transformation mission?
Before they completely died, the two sisters mentioned the word 'legacy' in their last words … Could it be that they were not only referring to the Esper Ability Seeds but also the Great Reboot and the universe's iteration?
Thinking deeper, with Hella, Aurora, or the Underworld as a medium, could it be possible to revive Nerkese and Eros using the Sanctums? If it failed, did it not mean that they were still alive in some way?
Han Xiao secretly took a deep breath, feeling extremely terrified.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he changed the topic and continued to chat with the group.
Everyone chatted for a while more. Seeing that the conversation was about to end, Han Xiao interrupted with a smile.
"That's all for today. I've already conveyed my opinion. We can be considered acquaintances now. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me. Keep in touch."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and expressed their friendliness.
Han Xiao bade farewell to them one by one. Then, he put on the King mechanical suit and disappeared out of thin air in a flash.
Now that the main character was gone, Beiger and the others looked at each other.
"Let's leave too. Black Star is right. I'm going to go back and focus on training. With such a good opportunity, I'll continue to seek breakthroughs. Hopefully, I can return to my peak strength," someone said.
"Hmm, I don't plan to come out for twenty … ah no, forty years. I'll just stay in the Holy Covenant."
Hearing the discussion of his friends, Oathkeeper smiled with relief.
His friends' mentality was finally corrected by Black Star. My efforts were not in vain …
…
[The Fist Is the Last Word] completed!
Your actions have won the respect of the Primordial Ones. The results are remarkable and will have an unknown impact on the future.
Rating: Unbelievable
+ 20 Mei Ji Favorability to you
+ 20 Tripp Favorability to you
…
+ 20 Pangon Favorability to you
You have received 2,400,000 Billion EXP, 8 Random Rewards, and 3 Blank Character Summon Cards.
You have received 10 Awakening Points.
You have received 1 [The Third Sanctum] fragment.
You have received the talent [Elderly Killer].
"This …"
Han Xiao was speechless.
The rewards were very generous. There were very few missions that directly rewarded Awakening Points and even gave him a new talent.
The effect of the talent was quite good. Just like [Fearless Heart], it increased his basic attack power …
But there are too many points to complain about!
I beat up a bunch of Primordial Ones, so I became the 'Elderly Killer'? Is this the rhythm of punching the Nanshan Nursing Home for the Elderly?
Also, I can understand adding a point to attack power, but what the hell is with increasing CHA? Do they think that my fighting posture is extraordinary, and they are cheering loudly while getting beaten up? Have they all become masochists?
Han Xiao's soul of complaining burned fiercely, and it took him a lot of effort to suppress it.
Putting aside these points, the triggering mechanism was quite suitable for him. Among the current Beyond Grade As, there did not seem to be anyone younger than him …
"What a weird ability, and it seems to go against the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young …"
Han Xiao shook his head helplessly. He carefully looked at the rewards before closing the interface and thinking about the impact of this trip.
"This time, I beat up the Primordial Ones and destroyed their arrogance. This way, they should be able to keep a low profile and develop for a long time. The Calamity of the Supers will be delayed because of this … I can be at ease for a while."
Han Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
He had a lot of things to do now, such as researching technology treasures, expanding the army, collecting the Sanctum keys, and so on. What he lacked the most was time. The later the Calamity of the Supers broke out, the better it would be for him. It would be best if it appeared after he became the next president of the Beyond Grade A Association. That way, his position would be very stable, and it would be easier for him to guide the direction of the Calamity of the Supers.
Currently, the three Universal Civilizations and the Supercluster Alliance were fighting, and the universe was in turmoil. However, for the Beyond Grade As, it was a stable period. There were no external conflicts, so it was a good time for them to keep a low profile and develop, promoting the integration of the association's interests. After all, the Beyond Grade A Association had only been established for a few years, and their career had just started. There were too many things that needed to be done.
It's time for them to properly develop for a while … Han Xiao thought to himself.
…
At the same time, Manison and Sorokin, who were in different places, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
"Strange, I keep feeling like something bad is going to happen."
Sorokin felt uneasy, and more than ten guesses flashed through his mind.
Manison's reaction was much more direct.
"It must be Black Star, that little brat, making things up behind my back again!"
