Not long after, the Beyond Grade As finished choosing their respective rewards, and the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations gave them some more encouragement before ending the meeting.
The group walked out of the room and returned to their exclusive activity room. At this time, Han Xiao clapped twice, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, I have something to announce. I might be carrying out the Sanctum Revival soon and bring back the six Beyond Grade As who died in battle this time."
Everyone was stunned for a moment before becoming excited.
"So soon?" Kasuyi blinked, a little surprised.
He was someone who knew the details of the Sanctums and knew that it was not easy to open them. He had always thought that Han Xiao would wait until there were more casualties before bringing them back in one go. This was more cost-effective, but now, only six had died before using the Sanctum Revival, which was a little beyond his expectations.
"It's fine, this is part of the plan." Han Xiao waved his hand.
This high-intensity battle had made many Beyond Grade As nervous. Using the Sanctum Revival to bring back the victims could boost their morale. After all, although the revival of Beyond Grade As in history was shocking, it was better to let everyone witness the revival of the dead.
At the same time, this was also an opportunity to show their attitude. The impatience to revive the victims could make most people feel relieved and believe that they would receive the same treatment. After all, the other Beyond Grade As did not know the price of the Sanctum Revival. The more relaxed Han Xiao appeared, the more confidence they would have.
"I feel that those six guys don't want to be revived so quickly. They might die again next time. Why don't we let them sleep for a while …" Sun Hunter muttered softly.
Han Xiao turned around and glanced at him, and Sun Hunter immediately shut up.
Hearing this, many Beyond Grade As had strange expressions.
In everyone's eyes, the Sanctum Revival was only a one-time opportunity. If they could avoid some battles during the period of death, it would be the best for them. However, from the perspective of others, they could not wait for the victims to come back quickly to share the pressure. For a moment, they did not know what to say.
There were also some Beyond Grade As who could not help but look at Hella. If not for the fact that Black Star had always been very reliable, they would have thought that Black Star's purpose of reviving the dead was to quickly bring these people who had used the Sanctum Revival to the Underworld.
Han Xiao saw everyone's expressions and could naturally guess what they were thinking. "Anyway, it's settled. I'm not only reviving the victims this time, but I also plan to revive some historical experts and expand the scale of the high-level combatants to share more pressure."
"So that's how it is. That's really good." Everyone immediately understood and nodded in agreement.
Beep beep beep …
At this time, Han Xiao's communicator rang. He took it out and saw that it was from Beiger.
Han Xiao raised his brows and picked up the call.
"Beiger, why are you looking for me?"
"Black Star, the revivors and I have decided to join you at the frontlines and respond to your call to participate in the war." Beiger went straight to the point with a solemn tone.
"Eh, why so sudden?" Han Xiao was slightly stunned.
The surrounding Beyond Grade As stopped talking and pricked up their ears to listen.
Because of their differences, the revivors did not come to participate in the battle and watched them fight the enemy at the frontlines. Although no one said anything, they naturally had a lot of opinions about the revivors. Even if they understood the revivors' mentality, they were still dissatisfied.
Although Black Star said that he would wait for the revivors to change their minds, in the eyes of everyone, the chances of the revivors responding to the call were too low. Therefore, everyone was very curious about why Beiger suddenly changed his attitude.
Could it be that the three Universal Civilizations' rewards attracted them? It shouldn't be. These revivors had seen all kinds of good things before. Furthermore, they had just received their rewards, and the news should not have been sent back yet. Could it be that the great victory and extremely low losses this time gave the revivors confidence?
"Ahem, I've been thinking about it recently. Since we're all Beyond Grade As on the united front, we still need to advance and retreat together. We can't just watch you guys fight for your lives … Plus, Black Star, you're right. We were all born in this galaxy, and it's not time to abandon our home yet. I've decided to do my part."
Han Xiao was skeptical. These words sounded righteous, but he did not believe them. He did not feel that these old people would suddenly become hot-blooded.
Could it be that Oathkeeper gave him a hint?
Han Xiaoxin put on a gratified expression and said with a smile, "You've made the right choice. As I said, no matter when you change your mind, you're welcome to fight alongside us."
"It's great that you guys can think like that." Kasuyi smiled.
Everyone also expressed their welcome. With Beiger's attitude, the dissatisfaction of the Beyond Grade As present toward the revivors disappeared, and they felt much more pleasing to the eye.
This time, Han Xiao asked, "By the way, did Dylan say anything about coming or not?"
"He said you pooped … Ahem, he said he didn't want to die," Beiger said helplessly. "It's still the same. I don't think he'll change his mind."
"Then forget it. Let's not bother about him for now."
Han Xiao shook his head. After understanding Dylan's experience, he could understand why Dylan was determined not to help the three Universal Civilizations. After all, due to the Tragedy of the Pinnacles, this old man was so green that he could directly pretend to be a member of the World Tree.
After casually encouraging him, Han Xiao hung up the call, walked out of the room, found a private location, and dialed Oathkeeper's number.
Very soon, Oathkeeper's face appeared on the screen. Han Xiao did not make small talk and went straight to the point.
"Did you say something to Beiger?"
"Oh? Is he preparing to join the battle? I did hint at him vaguely … "Oathkeeper nodded gently and explained.
Han Xiao chuckled. "You're quite good at dealing with people. Although I don't necessarily need the revivors to reveal the truth of the Sanctum Revival, it's fine to have more of them."
These revivors were not the only materials to reveal the truth of the Sanctum Revival. Han Xiao had long considered the possibility that these revivors would not participate in the battle and had actually made many preparations. The direct descendants of the advanced civilizations that had entered the Sanctum Revival this time were actually a backup plan. After all, the mentality of the direct descendants was different. They would most likely continue to accept the command of the civilization and throw their lives into the battlefield.
This way, when these revived direct descendants died in battle, he would have the materials to reveal the truth of the Sanctum Revival. He did not necessarily need the revivors from before.
Although Beiger had decided to participate in the battle, Han Xiao did not intend to change this plan and still made preparations.
These thoughts flashed through Han Xiaoxin's mind, and he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"How's the collection of Sanctum keys going?"
"Very good. The resources given by the three Universal Civilizations and the Supercluster Alliance have made up for a lot of materials. The First Sanctum has already been collected, and the Third Sanctum is almost done. Other than the Sixth Sanctum, the other Sanctum keys have reached more than 75% …"
Han Xiao glanced at the data sent by Oathkeeper and could not help but smile.
Although there was only one complete Sanctum key at the moment, it did not mean that the progress would return to zero after it was used up. This was because other than some materials that were extremely difficult to obtain, most of the other materials were repeated. The three Universal Civilizations had a lot of stock and were supplying them in batches.
Han Xiao looked at the list of materials. Even if he used up all the keys to the First Sanctum, his progress would at most fall back to 70% to 80%. He only needed to get a few more rare materials, and he would be able to get another key to the First Sanctum.
"Not bad, not bad …"
Han Xiao muttered subconsciously.
Seeing him focusing on the list, Oathkeeper's eyes suddenly flashed with a glint.
Black Star was distracted. Good opportunity!
"Humph, work hard. I represent the organization …"
Click.
Without waiting for Oathkeeper to finish, Han Xiao ended the call decisively with a cold smile on his face.
Want to ambush me? Eat sh * t!
Beep beep beep …
The communicator rang as if it was unwilling to give up.
Han Xiao moved his lips, took a deep breath, and carefully received the communication. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw that it was not Oathkeeper who appeared on the screen. He hurriedly stopped.
"Herberlon?"
"I received your battle report. It's unbelievable. How did you do it?" Herberlon's electronic image showed an exaggerated expression of surprise.
Herberlon did not participate in this battle. On one hand, his body had not been fully adjusted, and on the other hand, he would definitely be recognized by the World Tree. He was afraid that there would be variables, so it was not convenient for him to participate in the first wave of battle. Only when the information on both sides was irreversible could he be allowed to fight at ease.
"You mean the damage to the high-level combatants?" Han Xiao pinched his chin and teased. "If I have to say something, it can only be attributed to my wisdom."
He had only meant to joke, but he did not expect Herberlon to nod with a serious expression.
"Indeed, without you, the three Universal Civilizations would not have such a battle record."
Han Xiao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
I didn't expect you to be a bootlicker too!
"I originally thought that even if you could defeat the World Tree, it would be a pyrrhic victory. I didn't expect you to be so strong." Herberlon was a little excited.
Because the Karma Republic had lost too badly, Herberlon had a deep psychological shadow of the World Tree. However, the battle report of this great victory gave him confidence. He saw the hope of this Universal Civilization defeating the World Tree, and there was indeed a chance for revenge by hugging this thigh. Only then was he finally willing.
"If there are any tough battles in the future, you must use my strength." Herberlon's expression became solemn.
"… Alright, even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't let you be idle."
Han Xiao could only give him a few words of encouragement before hanging up.
Just as he put away the communicator, footsteps sounded behind him.
Han Xiao turned around and saw Hella walking over.
"Do you have time now? Follow me to the Underworld." Hella's face was cold as she slowly said, "If you don't go now, those newly accepted Hero Spirits will probably rebel."
"Alright, let's go."
Han Xiao nodded, changed into King, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
Underworld Dimension.
Densely packed newborn Hero Spirits stood on the pitch-black ground. Countless people had blank expressions on their faces. Their memories were still frozen at the scene before their deaths, and the pain on their bodies did not seem to have disappeared. In a flash, they arrived in this space.
"Where is this? Why am I here? "
"I … I should have been killed by the explosion. Why am I still alive?"
"No, what's wrong with my body? Why can't I feel anything?"
The commotion quickly spread, and countless Hero Spirits became more and more flustered. They questioned while observing their surroundings, trying to figure out the current situation.
These newborn Hero Spirits came from different civilizations, organizations, and all kinds of species. Many of them were serious soldiers, and they were all vigilantly observing the Hero Spirits around them.
At this moment, streams of light suddenly gathered above everyone and condensed into Onicelu's figure. She had a kind smile on her face.
"Everyone, this is the Underworld. You've already sacrificed yourselves on the battlefield, but you're not completely dead. Your souls were brought here, and you've been reborn as Hero Spirits here …"
Her voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the power of the Underworld. Countless newborn heroic spirits looked up at Onicelu in the sky with shock.
"We really sacrificed ourselves. I thought it was a dream."
"We can only leave the Underworld with permission … So, we've lost our freedom and become slaves?"
Countless newborn Hero Spirits were in an uproar.
They had become someone else's slave without any mental preparation. They could not accept it at once. This feeling was like being forcefully bought and sold. They did not have the freedom to refuse and could only be arranged by others.
Furthermore, the other party had taken away their souls while they were dying in battle. It gave everyone the feeling that they were taking advantage of them … It was simply 'picking up corpses'!
Many people were furious.
"Let me out! I don't care who you are, I won't be your slave! "
"Controlling my soul? Don't even think about it! "
The endless number of newborn heroic spirits roared together, and their momentum was extremely shocking. It was as if they were going to shatter the earth, as if they were going to rebel in the next second.
However, Onicelu's expression did not change. She only gently made a zipping motion with her finger. The next second, the entire world fell silent. No matter how the newborn Hero Spirits roared, they could not make a sound.
Looking at the countless newborn Hero Spirits covering their throats in shock and anger, Onicelu shook her head helplessly and explained, "In the Underworld, I'm the absolute ruler.
"In the Underworld, I am the absolute ruler. I control all of your actions. Furthermore, in the soul state, you don't have any combat power."
However, the more this was the case, the angrier the countless newborn Hero Spirits became. Since they could not make a sound, they used their actions to express their anger. Instantly, they scattered like birds and beasts, wanting to escape.
However, Onicelu just changed her hand gesture, and this area was isolated from the outside world, becoming a circular space. Once the newborn Hero Spirits crossed the border, they would come back from the opposite border, unable to leave.
Very soon, countless newborn Hero Spirits fell into despair and stopped running in vain. Countless angry eyes stared at Onicelu in the sky.
Swoosh!
However, at this moment, a light flashed in the sky, and two figures appeared out of thin air. They were Han Xiao and Hella.
Countless newborn Hero Spirits immediately turned to look and were stunned. There was no one present who did not recognize Black Star.
"Huh? What's going on here? " Han Xiao noticed that something was wrong as soon as he arrived. He turned around and glanced at Onicelu. "You took away their voices?"
"Yes, because they're a little angry. I didn't have time to explain everything …" Onicelu explained.
"It's fine. I'm already here. Release them." Han Xiao waved his hand.
Onicelu did as she was told, and the newborn Hero Spirits immediately returned to normal. However, they did not continue to make a fuss. They all looked at Han Xiao with different expressions.
Han Xiao's reputation was extremely high now. When they saw him, most of the newborn Hero Spirits quickly calmed down. They did not trust Onicelu, but they trusted Black Star.
"Yo, you're quite self-aware."
Han Xiao glanced at them and was overjoyed. His reputation was already so great. Just showing his face was enough to calm the emotions of these people.
At this moment, a newborn Hero Spirit spoke loudly.
"Black Star, are you the one who brought us here?"
Hearing that, Han Xiao looked down at him and realized that he was an Imperial Official. He shook his head, patted Hella beside him, and said, "Hella and Aurora are the masters of the Underworld. I asked them to use the Underworld to save the soldiers who died in the war. That's how you all came here."
Without waiting for the newborn Hero Spirits to question him, Han Xiao continued with a deep voice.
"Only Beyond Grade As can enjoy the Sanctum Revival. You guys don't meet the conditions. If you die in battle, you'll really die. However, all of you are precious talents of the galactic society, and I can't bear to see you sacrificed so easily. The Underworld is my only way to save you, so I had no choice. "Now that the enemy is watching, every bit of strength is extremely important. This is to protect our limited armed forces. The three Universal Civilizations are also aware of this and support this plan.
Although becoming a Hero Spirit of the Underworld would mean losing your freedom, it's better than sacrificing yourself. Here, everyone can still shine for the galactic society and return to the battlefield to resist the enemy.
"However, please understand that we have never thought of treating you as slaves. I hereby promise that when the war is over, if any of you are unwilling to stay in the Underworld, I can remove your Hero Spirit state and let you rest in peace."
After saying that, the crowd was in an uproar. The expressions of the newborn Hero Spirits changed, and their emotions were very complicated. Some were conflicted, some were relieved, and some were relieved.
However, no matter what they thought, the anger in their hearts slowly dissipated, and they calmed down.
Onicelu was a stranger, so her words did not matter. However, Black Star was someone the entire galactic society knew, so his words were trustworthy.
Since they were already here, there was no way they could resist, so they could only accept this reality. Furthermore, Black Star had promised that they could choose to remove the control of the Underworld in the future and not become slaves forever. Although they did not know if Black Star would fulfill his promise, they could only believe it now.
Furthermore, after calming down, not many people really wanted to rest in peace. Their current state was better than dying completely.
Seeing that the newborn Hero Spirits had quietened down, Han Xiao turned to look at Hella and shrugged.
"Done. My job is done. I'll arrange these people for you."
His goal of appearing here was only to appease these newborn Hero Spirits. With his extremely high reputation and Legendary Points in the explored universe, no one was more suitable for this job than him.
In other words, his status in the explored universe was comparable to that of a Face Fruit user. He could stabilize the morale of the army just by showing his face.
"Okay." Hella was a woman of few words. She turned to communicate with the newborn Hero Spirits and explained in more detail.
Han Xiao, on the other hand, scanned the boundless sea of people and exhaled softly.
War was indeed an opportunity for the Underworld to grow rapidly. It was a wave of benefits.
He had plundered so many Hero Spirits this time and poached countless talents from various organizations. The value was extraordinary.
However, if he wanted all these people to be of use …
Han Xiao clicked his tongue and suddenly had a subtle worry about Aurora's breast volume.
"With so much breast power, I have a feeling that she'll become flat-chested in the future …"
