Black Star's territory, an artificial planet in the training base area.
On a metal wasteland, many Beyond Grade As were gathered. They stood in groups of twos and threes, whispering to each other as they waited for Han Xiao to arrive.
In the past month or so, the situation had not changed much. The moment Han Xiao returned from the Sanctum, he informed Kasuyi and asked him to gather everyone. He had yet to arrive.
Many of the Beyond Grade As present had already found out from Kasuyi that this gathering was to carry out a new Sanctum Revival. Many of them were excited, especially the third batch of revivors who had not seen the process of their revival before. They were all curious.
At this moment, Stein and the others were scattered in the crowd, deliberately not standing together. When they turned their heads, their gazes would occasionally meet, and they would communicate with their eyes. They had a tacit understanding of today's action plan.
A month ago, when they found out that Han Xiao might have lied about the Sanctum Revival, this group of people did not publicize it openly. Instead, they secretly prepared to openly question and expose Han Xiao's lies on this special occasion today, causing the third batch of revivors to have a common enemy. Therefore, they were still the only ones who knew about it.
On the other side, the association members and the first two batches of revivors spontaneously spread out at the edge of the crowd, forming a half-encirclement, sandwiching most of the third batch of revivors in the middle. On the surface, they were chatting casually with their companions, but in reality, their nerves were secretly tense.
They did not plan in private, nor did they know what Stein and the others were planning. However, everyone knew that Black Star had deceived the third batch of revivors, and it was very likely that it would be exposed today. If the third batch of revivors saw that the people who died in the second battle were not revived, no one knew how intense the backlash would be.
Therefore, although many Beyond Grade As did not plan in secret, they stood there spontaneously, forming a vague encirclement. Although they did not know what excuse Black Star would use to fool the third batch of revivors, everyone was prepared to prevent any unforeseen events from happening today.
"It's a pity that we were tricked in the last battle of the intercepting circle, causing Aurora to be knocked down. If she had played her usual role, there might not have been a second death. This way, Black Star's lies could continue to stabilize these people …"
Everyone secretly glanced at the third batch of revivors. Most of them felt that it was a pity that they could not fool these people for longer.
The Beyond Grade As all had their own plans and waited patiently. After a while, a stream of light suddenly broke through the atmosphere and fell from the sky, landing in front of everyone. It turned around and scattered the sparks all over its body, revealing Han Xiao's figure.
"We haven't seen each other for more than a month. Are you all missing me day and night?"
Han Xiao glanced at everyone with a smile, seeming to be in a good mood.
"Who is this person? He's so shameless." Milizaus had a look of disdain.
"Do you want to eat my hand fart?" Sun Hunter curled his lips.
"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that I already have a little secret in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind using my body to welcome you." Reeve licked his lips, not embarrassed at all.
As soon as he returned, it was as if he had been injected with vitality. The crowd immediately became lively, all talking at once and making fun of him. He was quite popular.
After teasing everyone for a while, Han Xiao stopped smiling and showed the Sanctum Revival mark.
"Alright, let's get down to business first. Our fallen comrades are still waiting for us to wake them up."
With that, he turned around and activated the mark, emitting rays of light.
Everyone quieted down and watched him operate from behind.
The historical Beyond Grade As in the explored universe were limited. The last revival had already used all the mediums that they had collected so far, and the remaining historical Beyond Grade As had yet to be found. Therefore, there were basically no newcomers revived this time. They were all dead in the interception circle.
The figures of the dead appeared in the light of the mark one after another, gradually materializing.
Stein and the others immediately perked up and stared at the revival light cluster. Their bodies tensed up, and they were all prepared to take action. As long as they did not see anyone who had died a second time in this batch of revivors, they would immediately attack according to the plan.
At the same time, the association members also quietly changed their positions. The intention of surrounding them became more and more obvious. They were tense and prepared to deal with the possible backlash from the third batch of revivors.
At this moment, under everyone's gazes, the light slowly faded, and this batch of revivors finally took shape, revealing their clear appearances. They were all familiar faces.
Stein's gaze quickly swept across and suddenly focused on a few figures. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he turned to look at his companions. Everyone's face was filled with surprise.
These figures were the members of the third batch of revivors who had sacrificed themselves in the interception circle battle, the Beyond Grade As who had died twice.
"The people who died a second time have really revived? Black Star didn't lie to us! "
Stein was rather surprised. His tense body relaxed, and he secretly wondered if he had gotten the wrong information.
"However, no matter what, it's good news that Black Star didn't lie. Then, according to the plan, there's no need to take the risk today."
Stein heaved a sigh of relief.
In any case, it wasn't exposed. The conspirators had already agreed that they would bury this matter in their stomachs and pretend that nothing had happened.
However, at this moment, Stein's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly thought of something and his mood became strange.
Wait, Black Star didn't lie to us. Doesn't that mean …
Stein subconsciously turned to look at the association members beside him and was shocked to find that the expressions of these people were all frozen. They stared straight at the people who had died a second time and were even more incredulous than him.
The other third batch of revivors who did not know anything had normal expressions. They had always thought that Han Xiao had not lied to them, so they did not have any reaction at all.
However, the association members who believed that the Sanctum Revival was a one-time thing were completely dumbfounded.
They had originally wanted to help Black Star prevent the backlash after the lie was exposed, but they did not expect to be the ones who were shocked and saw a scene that left them dumbfounded.
Didn't they always say that the Sanctum Revival was only a one-time thing? What the hell was going on?!
Many association members could not suppress their emotions and surrounded Han Xiao, squeezing him into the middle. Their faces were filled with shock and confusion.
"Black Star! What's going on? "
Sun Hunter's pocket-sized head was filled with questions, and he anxiously asked what was on everyone's mind. Although he did not point it out because he was worried about the reaction of the third batch of revivors, everyone understood what he meant and stared straight at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao raised his brows and spread his hands. "Didn't I say that the Sanctum Revival is unlimited? Why are you making such a fuss? "
"You, you …"
Everyone stared at Han Xiao, speechless. Only then did they realize what was going on.
It turned out that Black Star was not lying to the third batch of revivors but telling the truth!
So the ones you lied to were us?!
You made us think that the Sanctum Revival was only limited to one time and trembled in fear … You lied to us so hard!
Many of the association members were filled with resentment as they looked at Han Xiao with resentment. If looks could be turned into blades, they would have stabbed Han Xiao into pieces.
Kant pressed down on Han Xiao's shoulder, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "You've been hiding it from us …"
Under everyone's indignant gazes, Han Xiao was calm. He shook Kant's hand and smiled.
"So what? Don't tell me you're not surprised now."
Without waiting for anyone to respond, he tilted his head and continued, "Don't forget what happened back then.
"Don't forget the situation we were in back then. If this matter was exposed back then, would the three Universal Civilizations still have adopted a wait-and-see attitude and given us some time to accumulate? Perhaps internal friction would have broken out long ago, and the current battle situation would only be worse.
But now, our situation is different. With the pressure of foreign enemies, the three Universal Civilizations can't do anything to us. Now that the truth is out, it's good to boost morale.
You'll understand if you think about it. I won't only revive once. You'll know about this sooner or later. The previous concealment was just a diversion tactic from a strategic point of view … Furthermore, I'm not the only one who knows. I've already told this secret to a trustworthy Beyond Grade A. "
As he spoke, Han Xiao looked at Kasuyi and nodded.
Seeing this, Kasuyi stood up at the right time and nodded.
"Yes, Black Star told me about this a long time ago, and I agree with the reason for hiding it. I didn't tell you before because I was considering dealing with the three Universal Civilizations, but now is the time to make it public …"
Kasuyi corroborated Han Xiao's statement while secretly criticizing him. His understanding of the Sanctums came from the Celestial Star Alliance, but after receiving Han Xiao's signal, he could only say that it was Han Xiao who told him.
After hearing this explanation, the association members blinked their eyes and slowly calmed down. They pondered over this statement and had to admit that there was indeed a reason to hide it.
If they took a big step, they would most likely end up in the balls. If Black Star had made this matter public back then, the threat to the three Universal Civilizations would have been too great. They would definitely not have let it go. They would have probably started a war and an even more intense civil war. Things like the Mechanical Race battle would have definitely happened earlier.
Furthermore, although they had been deceived, this matter was not a loss to them but a surprise.
They had thought that they could only revive once, but they did not expect it to be unlimited. As long as Black Star could continue to provide the Sanctum Revival, wouldn't they have achieved a different kind of immortality?
Thinking of this, a strong sense of excitement immediately replaced the shock!
The eyes of the association members lit up, and their confidence soared. They felt that Han Xiao was exuding an extremely tempting aura, and they only wanted to hug this golden thigh tightly.
Beiger, who was at the side, was shocked. Oathkeeper's instructions flashed through his mind, and he immediately understood that Oathkeeper must have known about it as well. Together with Han Xiao, he had … ahem, worked together to hide it.
"No wonder he suggested that I continue to help Black Star. Those people who thought that they had used up all their revivals and did not give Black Star face are probably going to regret it …"
This thought flashed through Beiger's mind, and he secretly rejoiced.
On the other side, the third batch of revivors who did not know anything looked at the excited association members around Han Xiao and were secretly surprised. They did not know why these people were so excited.
While everyone was getting excited, Manison's Lord's Avatar sent a confused emoji and asked in a deep voice:
"Black Star, you knew that the World Tree would attack, so you hid the truth of the Sanctum Revival to protect the Beyond Grade As and the three Universal Civilizations?"
Han Xiao smiled and did not refute.
Seeing this, the expressions of the Beyond Grade As changed slightly.
Although everyone was already very impressed with Han Xiao, they could not help but feel even more respect for him.
It turned out that Black Star had long been working for the safety of the galactic society. He had secretly done so many things to achieve temporary peace for today's war … To the entire galactic society, only the word 'great' was worthy of such a contribution!
Such foresight, just thinking about it made everyone suck in a breath of air, their hearts filled with admiration.
Only such a person was qualified to be the leader of their entire Beyond Grade A group. His ability was always trustworthy!
Secret Master shook his head and sighed. "Black Star, someone like you probably doesn't need the help of luck."
Don't talk nonsense, I really need it!
Han Xiao curled his lips.
Then, he turned around and patted Kasuyi.
"There's no need to hide this matter. Later, we'll tell all the Beyond Grade As, including those who avoid the war, and all the Calamity Grades who are training, the truth of the Sanctum Revival. Tell them that no matter what the outcome of the war is, only by fighting side by side with us now will I let them enjoy this benefit in the future. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a revival slot in the future."
"Understood."
Kasuyi nodded.
Hearing this, the association members felt much better.
Only participants like them would receive special treatment. That was more like it. Otherwise, it would be unfair.
All of a sudden, everyone's determination to participate in the battle was unprecedentedly firm. The confusion and hesitation that was still there instantly disappeared.
Black Star had said that if the three Universal Civilizations lost this war, he would take them away, which meant that the Sanctum Revival would still be their guarantee for the future!
In the hearts of the association members, the importance of Black Star's personal safety immediately rose to the highest level. Even if they died in battle, they could not let Black Star be in danger. The association's unity instantly exploded!
Looking at how motivated everyone was, Han Xiao smiled, knowing that the most basic goal had been achieved.
Immediately afterward, he retracted his smile and turned to look at the direct Beyond Grade As, who were also shocked, with a gleam in his eyes.
"It's time to have a chat with the three Universal Civilizations …"
…
In the meeting room of the three Universal Civilizations.
Today was the day Han Xiao would carry out the Sanctum Revival, but because they had seen it last time, and the people who were revived this time were all dead, Marbruce and the other two did not pay much attention to it. Instead, they discussed the situation of the harassment battle at the frontlines with the General Staff.
As for the situation of the Sanctum Revival this time, there were special supervisors paying attention. The three of them did not watch it with their own eyes and waited to hear the report afterward.
A meeting was being held in the room, and the remote projections of Simon and the other military officials were reporting.
"… This is the current situation. The harassment troops at the frontlines have done their best, but the World Tree Army is fighting steadily. It's difficult to stop them …"
Marbruce, Louis, and Ethereal Pope were listening to the battle report attentively.
Beep beep beep!
Suddenly, the sound of an emergency communicator rang out, interrupting the military member's report.
Louis frowned, opened the emergency communication channel, and said with a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"Your Excellencies, the Sanctum Revival has been completed!" The supervisor's anxious voice came from the channel.
"Okay, got it. Write a report for us later. I still have an important battle meeting to attend."
Louis did not react and was about to hang up.
However, at this moment, the supervisor suddenly shouted, his tone filled with anxiety and panic.
"This time, Black Star has revived the direct Beyond Grade As who died in battle twice. Your Excellencies … The Sanctum Revival is not limited to just one time. What he said about being unlimited might be true!"
As soon as he finished speaking …
The three of them were stunned for a moment before standing up. Their expressions changed drastically!
