In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.
Everything in the training base was the same as before, but Black Star's temporary departure caused a stir in the hearts of the people.
After experiencing many storms, Black Star had already become a stabilizing force in the eyes of the Beyond Grade As. Under his operation, the common interests of the Beyond Grade As continued to extend. To this day, it was partly because of Black Star's existence that they were able to gather under the banner of the 'Beyond Grade A Association'.
Therefore, although Han Xiao was going for official business and would not be gone for long, everyone still felt that something was missing.
During this period, Kasuyi was in charge of the overall situation and followed Han Xiao's instructions to pay attention to the movements of the revivors. He originally thought that it was just a routine matter, but he did not expect that there would really be an abnormality.
A few days after Han Xiao left, Dylan and a portion of the revivors of the avoidance faction disappeared. Kasuyi had been paying attention to the movements of the association members, and it did not take long for him to discover this abnormality.
As comrades who had resolutely stood on the association's side against the three Universal Civilizations, the treatment of the first two batches of revivors was naturally different from that of the third batch. The association had no choice but to consider the thoughts of all the members. They would not deprive them of their freedom just because a portion of the members were unwilling to participate in the war. Therefore, Dylan and the others were not under house arrest like the third batch of revivors.
Shocked, Kasuyi immediately investigated and asked the revivors of the avoidance faction who had not left. Only then did he finally find out that Dylan and the others had taken the opportunity to leave. However, no one revealed their route. They only said that Dylan had cast a spell to bring some of his companions into the secondary dimension and used this method to leave.
Kasuyi tried to contact Dylan and the others, but this group of people seemed to be determined to leave and could not be contacted at all. Helpless, he thought of the contact number of Oathkeeper that Han Xiao had left for him. With a curious attitude, he turned to ask this stranger for help.
In the office of the training base, Kasuyi leaned back in his chair. The communicator on the table shot out an inverted cone of light, sweeping out a virtual screen in front of him that was displaying the dial screen.
The phone rang for a few seconds before the call was picked up. The black communication interface changed, revealing a figure in a black robe. He looked rather mysterious.
Kasuyi sized this person up curiously and said, "I'm Kasuyi. Are you the Oathkeeper Black Star's name?"
"It's me."
Oathkeeper responded indifferently and also looked up to examine Kasuyi.
The two of them looked at each other. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little strange.
After a few seconds, Kasuyi asked with interest.
"Before Black Star left, he gave me your contact information. He said that if the revivors do anything, I can ask you for help."
"He informed me as well." Oathkeeper nodded.
"… So what's your relationship with Black Star? I've never heard of you before."
"It's normal that you don't know me. I have a closer relationship with Black Star," Oathkeeper said calmly.
Hearing this, Kasuyi narrowed his eyes and all kinds of speculations flashed through his mind.
The existence of the Holy Covenant had always been a secret. Many revivors had never revealed it, so he naturally did not know about it.
While thinking, Kasuyi probed.
"Could it be that … you're Black Star's secret subordinate?"
Oathkeeper's eyes immediately sharpened, and he said in a deep voice,
"You're thinking too much. I'm just an important collaborator of his. I've never been his subordinate."
Really? I don't believe it …
Kasuyi cursed inwardly. Many association members flattered themselves like this. They all said that they were not Black Star's subordinates, but they still followed his orders. He was already used to such a situation.
After complaining in his heart, Kasuyi calmed down and asked curiously, "I don't quite understand. What's your relationship with those revivors? Why did Black Star ask me to ask you for help?"
"This is a secret. Black Star didn't tell you, so I can't reveal it either. You just need to know that I can help. Don't ask too much."
Oathkeeper's tone was indifferent. He did not know that Kasuyi was also an insider of the truth of the Sanctum Revival, so he naturally hid it.
Among all of Han Xiao's collaborators, the Holy Covenant was a particularly important existence. An 'outsider' like Kasuyi definitely could not touch on the core secrets, so when Oathkeeper expressed his stance, it was easy for others to misunderstand that his stance was superior.
Seeing this, Kasuyi curled his lips.
Tsk, and you're still saying that you're not Black Star's secret subordinate. Otherwise, why would you feel such a sense of superiority when keeping secrets for Black Star …
Seeing that Oathkeeper had no intention of communicating further, Kasuyi temporarily gave up on collecting information and told him about Dylan and the others.
After hearing this, Oathkeeper's eyes flickered, and he slowly said, "Dylan, huh … As expected. I'll talk to him."
"He's already blocked all communications from the outside world. Can you contact him?" Kasuyi was surprised.
"I have my own ways. Don't ask too much. Just leave it to me."
Oathkeeper waved his hand and hung up without saying anything.
Seeing the communication screen go black, Kasuyi muttered softly with a strange expression.
"So mysterious. I've never heard of his name … When did Black Star know such a guy?"
…
Somewhere in the secondary dimension, Dylan and the others were traveling on the golem carrier made by the elves.
The room was silent, and no one spoke. From time to time, they would look at the radar-like magic compass, afraid that someone would chase after them.
"Everything is going smoothly so far. We've already entered the secondary dimension world. As long as we avoid the control area of the three Universal Civilizations, we don't have to worry about being discovered."
The carrier had a magical consciousness and was reporting the situation. So far, the operation had been quite smooth, and they had not encountered much resistance.
"It will take at least a month for Black Star to return. That's enough time for us to completely hide. The war has nothing to do with us anymore," one of his companions said softly.
Hearing this, all the revivors who had left with Dylan could not help but smile in relief. Only Dylan was not very happy. He sat in his seat expressionlessly.
Hu!
Right at this moment, balls of black flames suddenly appeared out of thin air, forming a mental projection of Oathkeeper. They appeared in front of Dylan, causing the laughter in the room to stop abruptly.
"You really did come."
Dylan was not surprised at all.
Oathkeeper stared at him and said calmly, "It's not appropriate to leave without saying goodbye, right?"
"No one knows if the world will explode tomorrow. It can be the last time we see each other, so there's nothing to be particular about." Dylan crossed his arms and said coldly.
"If you do this, Black Star will be very unhappy." Oathkeeper's expression was calm.
"Why should I care if he's happy or not?" Dylan snorted. "If you're just here to chat with me, I welcome you. If you want to persuade me, then forget it. You know I won't help the three Universal Civilizations."
Oathkeeper shook his head. "I understand the hatred between you and the three Universal Civilizations, so I won't persuade you to let it go. However, leaving the main universe is just an act of evasion."
"Since I owe you a favor, I won't take revenge on the three Universal Civilizations. What else can I do? Or are you trying to persuade me not to run away and stay behind to make the three Universal Civilizations pay the price in blood? "
Dylan's tone was sarcastic.
Oathkeeper did not mind and slowly said,
"It's normal for you to have complaints, but you have to look forward. Now, we're fighting for the three Universal Civilizations just to protect the galactic society. Our current alliance is just a temporary measure. Even if we win in the end, the three Universal Civilizations will still have many irreconcilable conflicts with us … Black Star is tolerant of you. Other than sympathizing with your situation, it's also because he foresees that there will be many conflicts with the three Universal Civilizations in the future. He never asked you to let go of your hatred, so why don't you wait?"
"Humph, I don't doubt Black Star's foresight, but I'm not someone who changes my mind easily. No matter what, I'm not willing to work for the three Universal Civilizations. If you want me to go back, wait until the day you become enemies with the three Universal Civilizations again."
Dylan straightened his back and curled his lips.
Oathkeeper said calmly, "Now that you're running away and not participating in the battle with the association, even if you return in the future, we won't welcome you."
"Then I won't come back." Dylan pointed at Oathkeeper and said coldly, "Also, pay attention to your words. I'm not your soldier, and the association is not an army. Don't use the word 'run away'."
Oathkeeper nodded and said calmly, "It's your choice to leave. Since that's the case, I won't persuade you. The association doesn't lack you. Just don't regret it."
With that, Oathkeeper turned to look at the other revivors and casually said,
"As for you guys, when Black Star returns from the Sanctum, I'll tell you guys valuable information. You guys can decide for yourselves whether to leave with Dylan completely or come back to participate in the battle with us."
As soon as he said that, Oathkeeper's mental projection cracked and turned into clusters of black sparks before disappearing.
With his identity, he could actually stand up and emphasize the truth of the Sanctum Revival to prove Han Xiao's words, but Oathkeeper did not intend to do so now. Firstly, it was his personal will, and secondly, it was Han Xiao's instructions before entering the Sanctum.
If some revivors wanted to take the opportunity to leave, then so be it. There was no need to rush for others to enjoy the benefits of the Sanctum Revival that led to eternal life.
Oathkeeper knew that what he had to do was to use the communication function of Soul Flame to show these people the scene of Black Star's Sanctum Revival this time. At that time, those who wanted to leave could leave by themselves, and those who wanted to leave could leave as far as possible. At that time, it was not certain who would be begging who. Don't think that he and Black Star would keep them back again and again. This world did not lack three melons and two dates.
Seeing Oathkeeper disappear, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Their eyes flickered as they fell into deep thought.
Dylan, on the other hand, sneered.
"Regret? This word has never existed in my dictionary! "
…
Under Kasuyi's control, the departure of Dylan and the others did not cause too much of a commotion, but it was inevitable that the other association members felt something was amiss.
Most of them participated in the war and fought to the death on the frontlines, while some of their companions at the back stayed away from the war and went to the secondary dimensions to have fun. This made some association members feel that it was unfair.
However, as a Beyond Grade A, they would not change their decision easily. Although they were somewhat shaken and dissatisfied, no one followed Dylan's example and took action. They only hid their emotions in the bottom of their hearts and trained silently.
Very soon, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a Sanctum passage appeared in space somewhere in the Ancient Star Desert and spat out a figure.
"Phew, I'm back …"
Han Xiao shook his head and felt that the symptoms this time were lighter than the last time, and his senses returned to normal faster. The many technologies that he had fished out from the First Sanctum quickly stabilized in his memory palace.
He adjusted his state for a while, took out the communicator to look at the time, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"It only took me forty days this time. My authority has increased by one level, and the flow of time has decreased. If this continues, I might be able to come out in a few days."
Han Xiaoxin was overjoyed and flipped through the information bar.
He had only left for a short while, and there were no other major events. Only Kasuyi and Oathkeeper reported to him about Dylan's departure.
"He escaped while I wasn't around … Tsk, I'll settle the score with him in the future."
Han Xiao curled his lips. Thinking of Dylan's character, he was not too surprised.
However, for now, this guy's problem was not important. The most important thing was to digest the gains of this trip.
Han Xiao looked down at the back of his hand. The new Sanctum Revival mark was emitting a faint light, and he could not help but smile.
"This time, I can finally completely firm the determination of the Beyond Grade As to participate in the battle … I hope the three hooligans can remain calm."
