The Black Star Corps held a six-day military exercise exclusive to the Immortals in their territory. More than a million army players participated in it as a form of confrontation.
The original intention was to hold a large-scale collective action for the players and find a reason to give out experience rewards on a large scale. However, in the current sensitive situation, the army's military exercise was interpreted in many ways by the outside world.
On the quantum network, many galactic residents thought that the army's exercise was an indirect demonstration against the three Universal Civilizations. Many also thought that the Black Star Corps was warming up and would definitely do something big in the near future. All kinds of rumors spread like wildfire.
However, despite the rumors, the Beyond Grade A Association remained silent, letting the outside world speculate as they wished.
One day, half a month later, just as the enthusiasm of public opinion was gradually dwindling, an unexpected major event suddenly happened. Without any warning, the three Universal Civilizations jointly issued a Level 2 decree to the entire universe, the content of which was precisely the sanctions against the Beyond Grade A Association!
The Beyond Grade A Association and the three Universal Civilizations had been fighting openly and secretly for more than a year. Although many galactic residents were watching the show, in public, the two sides had never shown a tit-for-tat attitude, never challenged each other, mostly remaining silent.
However, until now, the three Universal Civilizations had suddenly started a conflict in public. This was unexpected to countless people, but it was also reasonable.
When the leaders of countless organizations saw the content of the decree, their pupils constricted. They were shocked by the severity of the sanctions, and the same thought appeared in their minds.
How ruthless!
The three Universal Civilizations finally used their political, economic, and other influence to completely seal off the entire universe …
…
Black Star Palace, Army Commander's exclusive workshop.
Han Xiao was focused on studying a Gold mechanical blueprint, working toward the peak of the Void God's Trait Transformation.
Suddenly, Philip appeared with an anxious expression on his small face. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry.
"Master, hum … Something big has happened! The three Universal Civilizations have issued a joint sanction against us! "
Hearing this, Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He put down the parts in his hands, pinched Philip's head with two fingers, and pulled him in front of him.
"This day still came … Tell me, what conditions did the three Universal Civilizations set?"
"Look, it's so scary!"
Philip waved his small hand and pulled it down from the top. A virtual screen unfolded like a scroll, showing a document with densely packed contents. At the bottom was the joint seal of the three Universal Civilizations, proving that this was a valid decree approved by the authority of the three Universal Civilizations and protected by the universal law of the galaxy. It was specially noted that it would take effect immediately from the date of signing.
Han Xiao read from the beginning. At the start, it was a statement from the three Universal Civilizations, explaining the reason for this decree.
In order to minimize the danger of individual strength to the galactic society, the Ultimate Knowledge of the five Super systems has always been jointly controlled by the three Universal Civilizations. Other organizations are not allowed to spread it casually. This is the sixth provision of the 'Galactic Super Management Act — Knowledge Dissemination Agreement'. "The Beyond Grade A Development Union (hereinafter referred to as the 'association') has been privately spreading the Ultimate Knowledge of the various systems for many years without our permission. We have requested the association to deal with this chaos many times, but the association has ignored our requests many times. A year ago, we issued a final ultimatum to the association, but it was still ignored. Now that the ultimatum has passed, we have decided to punish the association in light of their bad behavior.]
"Humph, such an excuse indeed. I thought the three Universal Civilizations had some new tricks up their sleeves."
Han Xiao was not surprised at all. He snorted and continued reading.
In the document, the three Universal Civilizations righteously criticized the association and listed the rules that the association had violated. They then emphasized that the nature of the Beyond Grade A Association was a civilian organization and was not protected by a series of galactic civilization agreements such as the 'Peace Treaty'. They did not have the jurisdiction, political rights, and a series of other rights of a civilization.
Then, the three Universal Civilizations announced that from this moment onward, the Beyond Grade A Association would be included in the 'Unreliable Civilian Organizations List' and the 'Bad Armed Organizations List'.
These two lists were specially set up for organizations with questionable business natures. Although it was not as serious as a wanted order, as long as they were on the list, their various rights in the galactic society would be greatly affected. They would receive the same treatment as' credit lapses' and 'deadbeats', receiving different degrees of sanctions.
As for the Beyond Grade A Association, the sanctions included politics, economics, armed forces, and many other fields.
In terms of politics, most Beyond Grade As would take care of their mother civilization, and this decree required the Beyond Grade A organizations to not continue interfering in the politics of multiple civilizations. Otherwise, the relevant civilizations would have their political rights downgraded. There was also a list of organizations to pay attention to, and the Blue Star Civilization was the first to bear the brunt.
As for the Beyond Grade A organizations that were civilizations to begin with, they had to be investigated. It was stated that if the Beyond Grade A leaders had a cooperative relationship with some 'unreliable organizations', their political rights would also be downgraded. Sisko's Star Pupil Civilization was an example.
In terms of economics, the terms were much more complicated and took up half of the content, covering all aspects.
First, there was a notice to the various regional civilizations, requesting them to cooperate with the decree and stop all forms of cooperation with the Beyond Grade A organizations. They were not allowed to provide public services such as stargates and transportation to the Beyond Grade A organizations. They were not allowed to sell any resources to the Beyond Grade A organizations. At the same time, they had to cooperate with the decree and conduct multiple inspections of the assets left by the Beyond Grade A organizations in the territory of the civilization. Otherwise, they would be interviewed one by one.
As for the civilians, any financial groups or enterprises that maintained business dealings with the Beyond Grade A Association would have their credit rating lowered in the galactic bank, and those that refused to change would be included in the list of dishonest enterprises. Only by terminating the cooperative relationship would they be able to apply to start the review process, restore their credit, and even obtain certain subsidies. Furthermore, the three Universal Civilizations would ensure that these enterprises would not be threatened by the Beyond Grade A organizations afterward. They would also provide legal assistance in terms of violating business contracts and try not to pay compensation to the Beyond Grade A organizations.
At the same time, the credit rating of all the funds under the Beyond Grade A organizations would be lowered, and every transfer of funds would be subject to review and supervision.
In terms of the scale of their armed forces, the three Universal Civilizations believed that the Beyond Grade A Association, as a civilian organization, was too large and had already threatened the stability of the galactic society. They had violated the 'Agreement on the Scale of Civilian Organizations' and had to be disbanded.
Before the disbandment was completed, all the members under the Beyond Grade A organizations (not limited to Supers) would receive the treatment of having their credit rating lowered at the same time. This included, but was not limited to, not being able to pass the stargate review, not being allowed to stop at the transit stations of certain civilizations, not being allowed to cross the borders of certain civilizations, not being allowed to transfer funds from certain accounts, and so on.
Other than that, there were many other miscellaneous terms. The three Universal Civilizations had even attacked their allies this time. However, since more and more of their allies did not listen to the decree, this was not an unexpected situation.
At the end of the document, the three Universal Civilizations stated that the above terms were only targeted at the members of the Beyond Grade A Association and did not involve neutral Beyond Grade As. As long as they left the association and were reviewed again, their treatment would be restored to normal. As for the ordinary Supers, if they were willing to join the three Universal Civilizations or other civilizations, not only would their credit be restored, but they would also receive more benefits and subsidies.
After reading the entire document, Han Xiao only had one opinion about this decree — tyrannical!
"Tsk, the three Universal Civilizations are really ruthless."
Han Xiao shook his head.
These terms did not beat around the bush. They simply used their power to force the galactic society to block the association and restrict its development. It did not affect the Beyond Grade As much, but it was extremely destructive to the organizations.
The three Universal Civilizations' approach could be summarized as …
[Ball license, side license, as well as the organizers and co-organizers, all the units are my people. How are you going to fight me?!
"I made this assumption many years ago. Sigh, it still came true."
Han Xiao was already mentally prepared, so he was not surprised. Furthermore, since the three Universal Civilizations dared to make such a clause, they naturally had the confidence to carry it out.
Even when facing the Supercluster Alliance, the three Universal Civilizations had never used such a ruthless method. After all, the Supercluster Civilizations enjoyed a series of civilization protection agreements such as the Peace Treaty. Once the three Universal Civilizations violated these rules, they would be asking for trouble. However, at the beginning of the document, the three Universal Civilizations made it clear that the Beyond Grade A Association was a civilian organization. It had no authority and was not protected by the various civilization protection agreements. The nature of the matter was thus set, and their methods did not cross the line.
Since the development of the galactic society, the three Universal Civilizations had long possessed financial, political, technological, and military hegemony. Their influence radiated in all aspects, and they were deeply involved with the civilizations at all levels. The civilizations at all levels could choose not to give them face, but they had to consider the consequences. Seeking benefits and avoiding harm was the rational tendency of most civilizations. Han Xiao could foresee that there would definitely be many civilizations who would respond to this decree.
As for the civilian organizations and the general public, those who dared to go against the rulers of the universe were naturally the minority. The three Universal Civilizations' attitude was enough to scare many people away. After all, most people were only doing it for a good job. If they became 'marginalized people' of the galactic society because of this, it would not be worth it.
Han Xiao pondered.
"After hesitating for a year, the three Universal Civilizations still decided to bring the conflict to the surface. I wonder if this was influenced by the players … Starting from this decree, the three Universal Civilizations have finally openly fallen out with us."
The three Universal Civilizations' sanctions were within his expectations. However, even if he had guessed it in advance, he did not have a good way to resolve it. The full-scale suppression of the three Universal Civilizations was not so easy to resolve. However, over the years, he had been working hard to improve the independence of the association's interests. In order to deal with such risks, he had secretly made a lot of preparations, so he was not caught off guard.
Beep beep!
At this moment, his communicator suddenly rang.
Han Xiao opened it and saw that it was a call from Bennett.
The communication went through, and as soon as Bennett's projection appeared, he could not wait to ask.
"Black Star, have you seen the sanctions jointly issued by the three Universal Civilizations?"
"Yes." Han Xiao nodded.
As he spoke, he sized up Bennett.
Ever since he received a wave of vitality, Bennett's lifespan had been extended by a lot. After a few decades, he was still alive, and his body was still quite strong.
Every year, when Han Xiao thought that this guy was going to die of old age, Bennett would always jump out and shout 'I'm not dead'. At this rate, Nero would probably put on a show of 'There's No Crown Prince in the World for a Hundred Years'.
"What do you plan to do?" Bennett was worried.
"Nothing." Han Xiao spread his hands, raised his brows, and said, "However, the Blue Star Civilization is also within the sanctions. What do you think?"
Bennett clenched his teeth and said with a deep voice, "After some time, Blue Star will withdraw from the Shattered Star Ring Civilization Conference in protest, saying that they will not accept this sanction!"
"You want to walk the path with me to the end?" Han Xiao smiled.
Bennett said with a serious face, "Although Blue Star is still very weak, we have our dignity. We will not deny the great people in the history of our civilization because of such an unreasonable request!"
Han Xiao was somewhat relieved, and he slowly said, "That's very thoughtful of you. If you do this, Blue Star's short-term development will suffer a huge setback. However, with my protection, there won't be any danger. What we lose now, we can earn back in the future."
"That's enough. You know that I've always believed in you."
Bennett nodded, deactivated the projection, and ended the communication.
Han Xiao exhaled, thought for a while, and contacted Kasuyi.
Very soon, Kasuyi's figure appeared on the screen with a serious expression.
"Black Star, I've seen the news. Do you have a plan?"
Han Xiao stroked his chin and slowly said, "Since the three Universal Civilizations have done this, we can't be polite. Let's call an emergency meeting. I have two things to announce."
"Which two things?"
"First, from now on, the association will not accept any form of help from the three Universal Civilizations. Second, stop the subsidies for the direct Beyond Grade As of the civilizations in the association, freeze their membership rights, and temporarily deprive them of the right to participate in the regular meeting … Tell the outside world that unless the three Universal Civilizations revoke the sanctions, this situation will continue. "
Kasuyi frowned. "This won't hurt the three Universal Civilizations at all. At most, we'll express our attitude of not backing down."
"That's enough. If the sanctions could be resolved so easily, the three Universal Civilizations would have ruled the universe for so many years for nothing." Han Xiao did not mind. "Cooperating with the civilizations has always been an important business for many Beyond Grade As. Now that this channel is broken, the only large channel for the association to obtain resources is the Galactic Black Market. The three Universal Civilizations will definitely focus on this area, and there will be a lot of friction."
As he spoke, Han Xiao paused.
"Also, we might have to contact the Supercluster Alliance …"
There were no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. He did not want to help the Supercluster Civilizations' rebel ', but it was not impossible to consider a simple transaction.
His goal was only to control the intensity of the Calamity of the Supers and stabilize the situation as much as possible. However, he also knew that it was impossible to be peaceful all the time. The three Universal Civilizations would not give up on probing, and the balance would always be swaying. Even if he was someone who sought stability, he had to bare his fangs and brandish his claws.
