After asking around, only a few people in the second batch of revivors chose to join the association. Han Xiao noted down their names, then looked at the Holy Covenant members, nodded, and said, "I'll leave it to you.
Anyway, you guys have nothing to do. Let's help the newcomers integrate into the era first. You guys should have no problems, right? "
"Don't worry, we're familiar with this field. We're lacking new players."
Beiger smiled and agreed on behalf of everyone.
Oathkeeper nodded subconsciously, but he suddenly realized something.
Wait a minute, isn't this my organization? What right do you have to give the orders?
"Erm …"
Oathkeeper wanted to say something.
However, just as he started, Han Xiao clapped his hands and interrupted him with a smile.
"I'm glad we've reached a consensus. Everyone, you can leave first. Familiarize yourself with the situation of this era."
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the room eased up a lot. The Holy Covenant members led everyone out of the room, chatting as they walked, their voices getting further and further away.
The corners of Oathkeeper's mouth twitched.
As the leader of the organization, I'm being ignored just like that? Do I not care about my reputation?
At this moment, Han Xiao walked over, patted Oathkeeper's shoulder, and smiled.
"I'm afraid you'll have to work hard for a while. These revivors are temporarily intimidated by me, but I can't keep an eye on them all the time. Some of them will definitely want to find an opportunity to sneak away. You have to keep an eye on them, but don't be too obvious, lest they feel disgusted."
"Understood … Cough, I know what to do. I don't need you to teach me."
Oathkeeper coughed dryly.
Han Xiao smiled, summoned the virtual screen, and quickly wrote a list.
"This is the list of the keys to the other Sanctums. You guys are professionals in this aspect, so it's best to collect them without limit. The more keys we accumulate, the more confident we will be."
"You found this in the Third Sanctum?" Oathkeeper looked surprised. "Why didn't I see it when I went there?"
"Maybe your authority is too low …" Han Xiao shook his head and explained casually. As for whether Oathkeeper was deliberately hiding it, now was not the time to care about such details.
"Alright, this will make it easier for us to open the Sanctums in the future." Oathkeeper was happy.
Although the information recorded in each Sanctum was different, the Sanctum Revival was universal. Mastering the activation method of the other Sanctums meant that the efficiency of replenishing the number of revivals would increase by several times, greatly reducing the time needed to collect the Sanctum Keys.
Keeping the list, Oathkeeper paused for a moment before changing the topic.
"Have you considered the timing of the birth of the first batch of revivors?"
"Probably within the next few months." Han Xiao nodded.
"After they appear, the attitude of the three Universal Civilizations will change drastically. Are you okay?" Oathkeeper sounded worried.
No matter how mentally prepared he was, as the leader of this storm, it was impossible for him not to be worried. This was especially so since this was a fuse event that would definitely cause a drastic change in the structure of the universe. It was the turning point of the fate of the Beyond Grade As, and the impact was far-reaching. It might lead the future of the galactic society in an unknown direction, so he could not help but be nervous.
"I know what to do. This is a step that must be taken. There is no need to be overly cautious."
Han Xiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
Oathkeeper frowned and slowly said, "Also … we hid the truth of the Sanctum Revival and made others think that there is only one chance to revive. This way, although the three Universal Civilizations will still be wary, there is a high chance that they will not give up on the idea of a great purge … So, are we really not going to reveal the truth of the Sanctum Revival?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao shook his head.
"It's fine. We have to hide this trump card for a while. Although revealing it will make the three Universal Civilizations hesitate, they will also adjust their strategy. It's better to give them the wrong information. After all, unlimited revivals … it's useless to just talk about it. If the purge really happens, it won't be too late to revive then. Not only will it disrupt the strategy of the three Universal Civilizations, but it will also be a surprise for the dead.
Furthermore, fear is the shackle of desire. If we tell the truth to the revivors now, it will not be easy to manage. Won't they take off? "
Oathkeeper was helpless. "It's just that this way, you will bear too much pressure … The revivors were introduced to the association by you, so everyone will think that you have the truth. The three Universal Civilizations will definitely target you. Can you handle it?"
"It's not a big problem. As long as the association sees the existence of the Sanctum Revival, the Beyond Grade As will unite by my side. Coupled with my abilities, forces, and the existence of the Underworld, it won't be a problem for me to fight against the three Universal Civilizations for the time being. There will be room for negotiation."
Han Xiao smiled and gave Oathkeeper some reassurance.
Oathkeeper nodded and said solemnly, "You have a plan.
"It's good that you have a plan. In short, whether we can walk freely under the sun in the future depends on you."
…
The next day, Han Xiao took over the association again, and Kasuyi stepped down as his deputy. He contacted Han Xiao more than once in private, wanting to ask about the results of Han Xiao's trip, but Han Xiao brushed him off.
After disappearing for about four months, Han Xiao finally reappeared in front of the public and did not attract much attention. It was too common for Beyond Grade As to go out, so the various organizations did not think much about Han Xiao's short-term disappearance.
After waiting patiently for more than half a month, the three Universal Civilizations finally made a move and sent out an invitation for a private meeting.
"After watching for so long, you finally can't sit still …"
In the room, when Han Xiao saw the invitation notification on his communicator, he immediately sat up straight in his seat.
He opened the network link of the invitation, and his remote projection entered the online conference room.
The next second, his vision blurred, and he came to a secret conference room. The remote projections of the three leaders of Radiance, Dynasty, and Ethereal were already in the room.
"Black Star, you're here."
The Empire Head of State, Marbruce, revealed a stiff smile.
Han Xiao glanced around and put on his signature smile. "Your Excellencies, what's the matter?"
"We haven't officially congratulated you on becoming the president of the Beyond Grade A Association. Congratulations on becoming the president." Marbruce nodded.
"Thank you." Han Xiao smiled. "This is all thanks to the members."
"We have high hopes for you. You're more suitable to lead the Beyond Grade A Association than Manison. We all think that under your leadership, the Beyond Grade A Association will walk further and further on the right path of win-win cooperation …"
The few of them praised each other as usual before getting to the main topic.
Federation President Louis stroked his mustache and said, "We called you here today mainly because we need your help with a problem … The chaos of the Beyond Grade A Association members privately imparting the Ultimate Knowledges of the various Super systems has been going on for too long. Manison deliberately allowed it when he was in power and did not care about it. Now that you're the association president, we hope you can help us deal with this problem."
Han Xiao raised his brows. "I'll try, but I can't guarantee it'll work. After all, I can't restrict the private lives of every member."
As if hearing Han Xiao's perfunctory words, the Ethereal Pope coughed, emphasized, and slowly said, "Black Star, we take this problem very seriously. The chaos has been going on for decades, and we can't allow it to continue. There's a limit to our patience, and we hope to see the situation improve soon."
"I'll try my best."
Han Xiao was not angry. He maintained his smile and did not reject him directly. He was not surprised.
Because the three Universal Civilizations had never released the restrictions on Ultimate Knowledge, the association could only spread it privately. This was an important factor to attract new blood, so Han Xiao naturally would not agree. The three Universal Civilizations were definitely aware of this, so they deliberately made such a request partly to test his attitude as the new president, and partly to pave the way for the 'great purge'.
If he did not do so, the three Universal Civilizations would have an excuse to target the association. If the association compromised, it would not be a big deal. There would most likely be disagreements among the people. Furthermore, there would be a method that was always successful.
The three of them gave Han Xiao a deep look.
"Then, we'll wait for your results. You won't disappoint us, right?"
"Of course, I've always believed in the path of a win-win situation. You know that." Han Xiao chuckled. "If there's nothing else, I'll go offline."
"Hmm, go about your business."
Hearing this, Han Xiao gave a simple salute and hung up. The remote projection in the room disappeared.
Only the three leaders were left. They looked at each other, nodded, and reached a consensus.
"It seems like it's time to take concrete action."
Black Star had replaced the Mecha Empire, so it was time to take action. In their eyes, the biggest difference between Black Star and the Mecha Empire was that Black Star knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, unlike the Mecha Empire. The probability of him flipping the table was very small. This was also one of the reasons why they waited for Han Xiao to take action. The personality of a leader was very important.
The three of them did not plan to deal with Black Star. The plan was to kill as many as they could. Basically, the peak Beyond Grade As were not the targets of the three Universal Civilizations. Instead, they would appease and rope these people in during the operation, so as to divide the Beyond Grade A group.
According to the personality analysis made based on the data, Black Star's tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages was extremely strong. In order to take care of his own interests, there was only a very small chance that he would completely go against the three Universal Civilizations for the sake of other Beyond Grade As. As long as their attitude was firm enough and their methods were cruel enough, there was a high chance that Black Star would protect himself. This provided the conditions for them to split the association.
The most ideal result was for the Beyond Grade A Association to be disbanded. The core and bottom forces would be wiped out, and most of the unstable factors would be eliminated. Only the direct members and peak Beyond Grade As would be left. This way, the individual strength would fall back into the control of the three Universal Civilizations and return to normal.
While the three of them were discussing the plan, in the Black Star Corps office, Han Xiao put down the communicator. His eyes flickered as he murmured, "The situation is about to reach a critical point.
It seems like it's time for the Revivors to appear … Coincidentally, a new member has applied to join the association recently. We can take the opportunity to appear and announce their existence to the entire universe. "
…
Half a month later, on Planet Finn, the Beyond Grade A Association headquarters …
A small fleet slowly sailed into the spaceport of the planet with a blue tail flame.
In front of the porthole on the bridge of the main ship, a thin figure stood, looking at the panoramic view of Planet Finn.
"We're finally here. The Beyond Grade A Association has finally accepted my application …"
Mael heaved a sigh of relief.
He was a new Beyond Grade A born a few years ago, nurtured by a Star System civilization. Although the chances were slim, it was not completely impossible. There were always some civilizations who were lucky.
As the only Beyond Grade A in the civilization, Mael had a lot of responsibilities. After stepping into the Beyond Grade A realm, he had acted as the guardian of the civilization, helping the civilization consolidate its forces and seek benefits in the area. He did not join the Beyond Grade A Association immediately, and at the same time, he rejected the olive branches of the other civilizations.
Only now did he apply to join the association. He came with a mission, hoping to gain a foothold in the Beyond Grade A Association and borrow the resources of the other members to support the civilization.
Today was the welcome party that the association had specially organized for him. For this day, Mael had made a lot of preparations, even asking professionals to draft a speech and memorize it. He planned to give a decent speech at the welcome party to win the favor of the others and quickly integrate into the group.
"I hope everything goes well …"
The spaceship stopped at the port, and Mael walked onto the dock. While following the receptionist to the temporary lounge of the venue, he kept rehearsing in his mind what kind of attitude he would use to speak later.
Very soon, Mael arrived at the door of the lounge, pushed the door open, and walked in. He subconsciously looked around and suddenly froze.
There were dozens of people sitting or standing in the room, chatting casually. When they heard someone push the door open, they immediately stopped talking and focused their eyes on him.
Isn't the temporary lounge a single room? Did I enter the wrong room?
Mael was stunned for a moment, took a step back, looked at the room number, and was confused.
That's right, this is the lounge where the newcomers wait to enter. Shouldn't this be my room? Where did these people come from?
At this time, the people in the room suddenly laughed. The people near the door stood up, pulled the confused Mael in, and pressed him onto the sofa.
"Yo, there's finally a real newcomer."
"Take a seat, take a seat, eat something."
"This is the first time I've seen a newcomer of the new era."
The others all came over, sized him up curiously, and greeted him.
Mael was sandwiched in the middle of the crowd and did not know what to do.
He could not help but shout, "Who are you people? This should be my room. Unrelated people, please leave!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and revealed a subtle smile. Suddenly, their bodies trembled.
Boom!
The aura of a Beyond Grade A erupted and was immediately retracted.
Mael was shocked and froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
This room full of strangers is actually all Beyond Grade As?
"You, you guys …"
Mael's eyes widened, and his brain seemed to have short-circuited. He could not even speak properly.
Beiger said with a playful tone, "Don't be so nervous. We're the same as you, newcomers to the association."
"Impossible! How could dozens of new Beyond Grade As appear in the universe without a sound? Who are you people? "
Mael suddenly stood up, completely forgetting himself.
Wasn't today's Welcome Ceremony just to welcome him alone?!
Beiger smiled and waved his hands. "We're not strangers. Take a good look. Do you recognize us?"
Hearing this, Mael hurriedly scanned the crowd, and his expression suddenly changed.
"I've seen your information … You're all Primordial Ones?"
"Haha, I knew you knew us … Don't look at us like that. We've only been revived. What's there to be surprised about?"
Beiger smiled and patted Mael's shoulder.
Mael sat on the sofa as if his bones had been pulled out. His eyes were lifeless as if he had lost his soul. He looked like he had been played to the point of being broken.
At this moment, his mind was completely blank, and he only had one thought left in his mind …
When did I fall asleep?
