The spaceship drove into the spaceport of one of the Holy Covenant's secret bases. The hatch slid open, and Han Xiao walked out. He immediately saw Oathkeeper waiting at the dock. Watermark Advertisement Test

"Yo, it's been a while. You're still dressed like this. Don't you need to wash your clothes?" Han Xiao laughed.
"… No." Oathkeeper's mouth twitched. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's talk inside."
Then, Oathkeeper led the way, and Han Xiao followed him all the way down the corridor of the base.
The two of them chatted as they walked.
Han Xiao scratched his chin and asked curiously, "It's only been a few decades, and you've already gathered all the keys to the Third Sanctum again? That's too efficient. "
"That's nothing. There are only zero or countless times to enter the Sanctum. With experience, it's much easier to do it again. Some keys are not disposable, and we still have some in stock. For example, the Primal Esper Ability Entities. I was stuck at this stage in the past, but I gathered all of them last time. Now, I can just take them out and continue using them … As for the other types of keys, with your wealth and channels, it's much easier to collect them," Oathkeeper explained.
Hearing that, Han Xiao nodded.
Just like in the second cycle, he had inherited the key items and did not need to collect them again.
The time span in his previous life was not particularly long. The scale of the Holy Covenant Organization was far larger than it was now, which meant that Oathkeeper must have entered the Sanctum several times. It was not surprising that he had such efficiency now.
This time, Han Xiao entered the Sanctum alone, partly to complete the third round of the [Relay Across Iterations] mission, and partly out of curiosity.
The two of them chatted casually all the way to the seniors' activity room. As soon as Han Xiao walked in, he was stared at by dozens of eyes.
Dozens of awakened Primordial Ones were waiting there. As soon as they saw Han Xiao, they surrounded him.
"Black Star, congratulations on being elected as the association president!"
"The agreed time has come. Can we leave the mountain now?"
Everyone was talking at once, and it was extremely noisy.
Han Xiao raised his hand and gestured for everyone to calm down. He slowly said, "Hmm, it's about time. But in my opinion, it's better to stay for another year or two."
"Another year or two?"
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
You made us cultivate in seclusion for three years after three years. Now, it has been almost fifty years. Big Brother, if this continues, we really won't be able to hold it in any longer!
"Ahem, everyone, don't be anxious. I have three reasons."
Han Xiao raised his finger and explained.
"First of all, I've just been elected as the president, so it's best for me to take some time to prepare. Second of all, in the past forty years, the three Universal Civilizations haven't gotten a single ally, so they probably won't be happy about it. Let's wait and see what they do first.
As for the last reason … I have to enter the Sanctum, and I don't know how long it will take. "
According to Oathkeeper, the flow of time in the Sanctums was different. He did not feel like he had spent a long time in there, but when he came out, he realized that a few years had passed in the main universe. Therefore, this time, Han Xiao had to be prepared.
Hearing this, many of the Primordial Ones had conflicted expressions.
They wanted to leave immediately, but if Han Xiao entered the Sanctum, he might disappear for a few years. Without President Black Star's support during this period, many things would not be easy.
This time, Pangon coldly said, "It doesn't matter. I wasn't going to join the association in the first place. I've already decided to leave soon!"
Han Xiao glanced at him, nodded, and did not say anything.
The goals of this batch of revived Primordial Ones were mainly divided into three types. The first was to enjoy the rights of a Beyond Grade A in this peaceful era, so they wished to join the association, such as Beiger and Mei Ji.
The second was to continue hiding in the Holy Covenant and help Oathkeeper manage the organization. They did not plan to leave, so of course, they had no objections.
The last type was the debt collectors from the exploration era, who wanted to take revenge on the advanced civilizations. There were fewer of them, and the representative was Pangon. He planned to be a lone wolf from the start and did not want to join the association.
Han Xiaoxin did not want this group of people to join either. After all, revenge would greatly intensify the conflict between the three Universal Civilizations and the Beyond Grade As. If he joined the association, should he help them or not? Most of the association members would definitely oppose it, so he felt that it was better to let Pangon and his group be lone wolves and not drag the association down.
In his previous life, the revenge of this group of people was one of the important fuses of the Calamity of the Supers version. As for whether Pangon and his group stayed or left, Han Xiao did not care.
On the other hand, Han Xiao also knew what Pangon was thinking. Pangon did not expect the association to help him, and he also knew the significance of the Beyond Grade A Association, so he did not plan to drag the association down. Thus, he took on the responsibility of revenge alone.
In his previous life, Pangon did not reveal the existence of the Holy Covenant, so although he was stubborn, he was still loyal.
Han Xiao looked away and looked at Beiger and the others. "What about you guys? Are you willing to wait for me?"
Beiger thought for a while and nodded.
"Although we can't hold it in anymore, we still have to look at the big picture. Although we're not from the same era as the current Beyond Grade As, we all represent the same class and have the same interests. After we appear, the entire Beyond Grade A class will definitely be shaken. Don't worry, we won't destroy the big picture because of our selfish desires."
Hearing this, Han Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
After more than forty years of communication, most of the Primordial Ones had already integrated into the era. Some of them no longer only thought about themselves but were tricked by him into joining the Beyond Grade A Association. They let go of their past in the exploration era and decided to participate in this new battle between the Beyond Grade As and the advanced civilizations, fighting for the entire Beyond Grade A class.
The way these people saw it, when the upheaval came, it would not do to be without Black Star, who was the key figure. For this reason, they were willing to continue hiding for a while.
Although Beiger and the others had not come out yet, in their hearts, they already saw themselves as part of the Beyond Grade A Association and considered the interests of the whole.
"Great, I wasn't wrong about you guys …"
Han Xiao laughed and said some polite words, quickly calming everyone's emotions.
After receiving a reply, everyone calmed down and continued to play cards.
Han Xiao pulled Oathkeeper out of the senior activity room and entered a small black room to talk privately.
Closing the door, Han Xiao asked, "In order to deal with the upheaval that will happen soon, we need more Beyond Grade As. Are the revival mediums ready this time?"
"Yes, they're ready. Thankfully, many Beyond Grade As left behind their descendants, or it would have been difficult to collect them." Oathkeeper nodded.
This time, the candidate to enter the Sanctums was Han Xiao. He went with a mission, which was to revive more Beyond Grade As.
The Sanctum Revival required all kinds of mediums. Over the past few decades, the Black Star Army and the Holy Accord had been quietly doing this work, collecting things related to the Beyond Grade As in history, including relics and the Vestigial Race. Another batch had been gathered.
Han Xiao took a look at the list and narrowed his eyes.
"It seems like there are a few strong people in this round of revival."
"Can they be stronger than you?" Oathkeeper curled his lips.
"That's true. I'm f * cking invincible." Han Xiao accepted this flattery.
However, he immediately thought of Jayz of the Celestial Star Alliance. He did not know if he could revive this guy from a different Iteration.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao temporarily suppressed this thought. He found an empty room and stayed alone, blocking all the surveillance in the room. He then took out his communicator and dialed a number.
The first person he called was Kasuyi, and soon, Kasuyi's figure appeared on the screen.
"Black Star … No, Your Excellency President, what's the matter?" Kasuyi smiled.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and said, "I might have to disappear for a while. The time is not fixed. It might be a few days, or it might be a few years. When I'm not around, help me manage the association's work."
"Where are you going?" Kasuyi stopped smiling and frowned.
"Do you still remember our experience in the secondary dimensions? I found some clues and need to spend some time to track them down." Han Xiao did not mention the details, but the other party was also someone who knew about the Sanctums, so a simple explanation was enough for the other party to understand.
Sure enough, Kasuyi understood and was shocked. He did not ask any more questions and nodded seriously. "Then don't worry. I'll take good care of the association."
When he learned about the Sanctums from Jayz decades ago, Kasuyi knew that Han Xiao's route was right. He stood on the same front and became a secret ally.
Kasuyi was not interested in power. He came out to run for vice president not because he wanted to be promoted but because he had received instructions from Han Xiao to help Han Xiao stabilize his position. Anyway, it was not a bad thing, so he did not mind helping Han Xiao.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Han Xiao nodded, gave some instructions, and hung up the call.
He did not stop and called Hella, Ames, and the others one by one, saying that he would disappear for a while and go to the secondary dimensions to look for opportunities for God's Trait Transformation.
This kind of situation was not rare for peak Beyond Grade As, so this excuse was very good. Hella, Ames, and the others did not suspect anything.
Han Xiao asked them to take care of the army's forces while he was out and gave them some instructions.
Then, he called the last round of numbers and contacted the people of the three Universal Civilizations.
The three Universal Civilizations had once thought that he was more suitable to lead the association than the Mecha Empire. However, after decades, the speed at which the conflicts accumulated exceeded expectations, and this bit of face was not enough. The three Universal Civilizations could not let the Beyond Grade A Association continue to grow independently just because of him.
Han Xiao did not know how long he would disappear after entering the Sanctums, so he planned to mention his identity and position again to stabilize for a while.
After all, with the title of consultant of the three Universal Civilizations, the negotiation was quite smooth. Han Xiao found out what the three Universal Civilizations were thinking.
The three Universal Civilizations were still observing the changes in the association after he came to power, so they would not suddenly cause conflicts in the short term. This situation was more reasonable and within his expectations.
After arranging everything, Han Xiao found Oathkeeper again. Looking at the other party's expectant eyes, he nodded calmly.
"Get ready and open the Sanctums as soon as possible!"
…
Three days later, in an uninhabited area near the Holy Covenant organization's base, spaceships floated in the desolate universe.
Only Han Xiao floated alone outside the spaceship. The built-in screen of the mechanical suit maintained communication with Oathkeeper.
On the screen, Oathkeeper made an encouraging gesture and said, "Are you ready?
Everything on my side is ready. I can open the Sanctums at any time. "
"Come on." Han Xiao exhaled and calmed down.
Oathkeeper nodded, turned around, and ordered, "Listen up, begin!"
As soon as he said that, the spaceships that had been warmed up immediately moved. They had practiced the operation process countless times. Like a precise instrument, there were no mistakes.
Boom boom boom!
Primal Esper Ability Entities loaded in special barrels were all shot out. The colorful beams of light gathered at one point and quickly expanded, turning into a floating white ball of light.
Under the effect of the special instrument, the ball of light was like a piece of plasticine being squeezed by a big hand. Its volume was compressed and turned into a dazzling ring with a diameter of about a hundred meters. Its energy density was extremely high.
Immediately afterward, the remaining spaceships activated the instruments one by one and threw the other 'keys' into this ring through the traction beam.
The space seemed to tremble as the ring suddenly shot out rays of light, projecting six mirage-like light gates.
The next second, five of the light gates disappeared, leaving only one of them. It seemed to have turned from illusion to reality, still shaking unsteadily as if it would disappear at any time.
"This is the passage to the Third Sanctum. Go in!" Oathkeeper hurriedly said.
Han Xiao's expression changed. He activated the thrusters, turned into a meteor, and flew into the Sanctum passage.
At this moment, the light in front of him instantly expanded, and only an endless white was left in his vision.
The moment he passed through the door, Han Xiao felt his body become lighter, as if he had passed through some kind of barrier. He felt like he was floating in the air, and for some reason, he did not feel like he existed in this world.
"I'm finally in …"
