This was a secondary dimension. Auroras fell from the sky like fluttering ribbons, and a stream of light shuttled through them at high speed. It was the magic statue carrier of Dylan and the others.
After sailing for more than a month, they had already left the control area of the three Universal Civilizations. Dylan and the others gradually relaxed from their initial vigilance.
More than a month ago, Oathkeeper had used his mental projection to see them and then disappeared. They were all revivors of the Holy Covenant, so they had a good understanding of the effects of Soul Flame. They knew that Oathkeeper could only talk to them and could not lock onto their position in space, so they were not worried about exposing their coordinates.
"It's been so long. Counting the days, Black Star should have returned from the Sanctum. Oathkeeper said that he would tell us valuable information. He should be here soon."
A Beyond Grade A was playing with the furry pet on the table and casually mentioned this matter.
Another person was watering the ornamental plants in the small ecological zone in the cabin. When he heard the question, he looked back and smiled. "Oathkeeper seems to want to use this news to change our minds. I want to know what he will say."
The revivors in the cabin were all doing their own things, and all the Beyond Grade As who had left the main universe with Dylan a month ago had not left yet.
Other than special relationships, Beyond Grade As were not willing to submit to others, so no one treated Dylan as a leader. The reason why they had not parted ways yet was mainly because they were working together to deal with the risks of the secondary dimensions. After all, this place was still quite threatening to normal Beyond Grade As.
Someone turned to look at Dylan. "I'm quite curious. What about you?"
"I'm not curious." Dylan closed his eyes to rest, too lazy to even open them. He snorted. "Since you've chosen to leave, be more firm. You're all Beyond Grade As, don't you have any backbone? Anyway, no matter what he says, I won't go back. "
Everyone laughed and was about to say something when black sparks suddenly appeared in the cabin, quickly forming Oathkeeper's mental projection.
Seeing this, Dylan's brows twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes. The expressions of the other revivors also changed slightly. They stopped smiling, put down what they were doing, and stared at Oathkeeper.
"You're here again." Dylan narrowed his eyes. "Why? Do you still want to persuade me to go back?"
"It's up to you whether you want to return or not. I'm just here to deliver the information."
Oathkeeper did not want to bother with him and turned to look at the other curious revivors. A black flame ignited in his palm, and blurry images flashed in it, containing the information of the truth of the Sanctum Revival.
With a light flick of his finger, streams of sparks scattered out and merged into everyone's foreheads. The information within was directly transmitted to the other party's spiritual brain region. The sequence of events was clear at a glance. The relevant spiritual memories were opened up for inspection.
The next moment, everyone received this information and was instantly dumbfounded.
"So the Sanctum Revival isn't a one-time thing? You and Black Star have been hiding it from us! "
Many people's expressions changed drastically as they glared at Oathkeeper. Their expressions were indescribably ugly, as if they had just smelled incense.
"The choice is yours."
Oathkeeper couldn't be bothered to say more. After saying that, he dispelled the Mental Projection and disappeared.
Watching him leave, everyone's expressions changed several times.
One of the revivors looked around and finally landed on the shocked Dylan. He said firmly, "Everyone, I'll go back and take a look first. See you again if fate allows it."
With that, he ignored everyone's reaction and directly got out of the vehicle in a flash. He raised his hand and cast a spell, summoning a directional teleportation door. He stepped in and disappeared with the door.
This became a signal, and the revivors bade farewell one after another. Those who were patient would say goodbye, while those who were impatient would leave without saying anything. There was no need to explain anything to this group of temporary companions.
They were all people who had been revived before. Their motive for leaving the main universe was that they thought that the one-time Sanctum Revival was no longer effective for them. This was their last life. However, only now did they know that this was just a scam set up by the Holy Covenant and Black Star. However, the reason was no longer important to them. The unlimited number of Sanctum Revivals was almost eternal. In front of this benefit, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Many of his companions left one after another. Very soon, the lively cabin became empty, leaving only Dylan alone.
He did not care about the departure of the others at all. He was still immersed in shock as he muttered to himself, "No wonder.
No wonder Black Star didn't care about us avoidance parties. It turns out that he had this trump card in his hands … "
The opportunity for eternal life was right in front of him, but …
Dylan's expression changed, and he was extremely conflicted.
…
A few days later, in the top-floor conference room of the training base.
Han Xiao sat at the head of the table and looked around at the many Beyond Grade As present. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he casually said, "Now that the truth of the Sanctum Revival has been revealed, everyone knows the truth.
"Now that everyone knows the truth about the Sanctum Revival, I believe there is no need for me to repeat the unnecessary explanation. Everyone should have digested this information in the past few days. The reason I gathered everyone today is to discuss the follow-up issues of the Sanctum Revival. This will be an important trump card for us to fight against the World Tree. The three Universal Civilizations were very surprised by this and decided to continue to support it and keep it a secret from the public for the time being … "
Everyone present nodded silently with a subtle expression.
They believed that there were surprises, but they were more shocked. Even if they used their butts to think, they could imagine how the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations would feel when they found out about this' surprise '.
They had been trying to find Han Xiao for the past few days, but Han Xiao had temporarily left after using the Sanctum Revival and could not be contacted at all. He had only returned now and publicly summoned all the Beyond Grade As in the training base.
All the participating Beyond Grade As had been waiting for the meeting and immediately rushed over. No one was absent.
Han Xiao took in everyone's expressions, tapped his finger on the table, and chuckled.
"By the way, let's gather everyone's opinions today and see if everyone is willing to continue participating in the battle. After all, from now on, participating in the battle will be linked to the treatment of the Sanctum Revival. I need to record it down. There might be people who don't like this treatment, but I can't force them. After all, I'm a very democratic person. "
Democratic? Pfft, shameless!
Everyone cursed in their hearts.
Black Star had grasped this lifeline, and his right to speak had risen to a new level. It was almost as if he had the final say. Who would be willing to give up this treatment?
Although they were complaining in their hearts, the Beyond Grade As present were still very honest. One after another, they could not wait to speak.
"Count me in!"
"There's no reason to give up halfway. Of course, we'll continue fighting."
Everyone expressed their stance enthusiastically, indicating that they would continue to participate in the battle.
Originally, a portion of the third batch of revivors did not participate in the battle of the interception circle, but after seeing the substantial evidence of the unlimited number of Sanctum Revivals, they all changed their words.
Han Xiao smiled as he watched this scene. He opened a virtual screen, pulled up the memo, and recorded the names of those who expressed their stance in front of everyone.
'The temptation of unlimited Sanctum Revivals is indeed something that not many people can resist. The effect is similar to what I expected …'
A few days ago, Han Xiao had received a report from Oathkeeper that the Holy Covenant revivors had also requested to come out of seclusion to participate in the battle. These few days, he had gone to deal with this matter and appeased the Holy Covenant revivors, indicating that they would only need to take action when the World Tree invaded their territory. For now, there was no need for them to come out. They were still hiding in the dark, and they only needed to accept his targeted training plan.
The reason why the Holy Covenant revivors were in seclusion was partly because they were unwilling to continue getting involved in the battle between the organizations, and partly because they had a grudge against the three Universal Civilizations. However, they had all abandoned their original intentions and changed their minds. Although their words sounded nice, their actions were still realistic enough. The Beyond Grade As who knew their own needs basically made rational choices.
Han Xiao naturally would not laugh at anything. It was just human nature. Not many people could watch others enjoy this benefit while they did not have a share.
Just as everyone was expressing their stance, the door of the conference room was suddenly pulled open, interrupting the meeting.
Everyone turned around and could not help but have a playful look on their faces. They saw that the revivors of the avoidance faction who had stayed on Planet Finn had all arrived and entered.
The room immediately fell silent. This group of avoidance faction who did not leave with Dillon stood by the table.
Han Xiao glanced around, put on a calm expression, and casually said, "Why are you guys here? What's the matter?"
Hearing this, one of the avoidance faction stepped out from the crowd and spoke loudly as if he was the representative of everyone.
"Your Excellency Black Star, after careful consideration, we have made a unanimous decision. Please allow us to join the training. We apply to participate in the battle!"
The Beyond Grade As present exchanged looks, shook their heads, and laughed. They were not surprised at all.
Han Xiao smiled, nodded, and said, "As I said before, if you change your mind one day, we also welcome you to fight alongside us."
With that, he snapped his fingers, and with a flash of Mechanical Force, the conference table suddenly moved. Mechanical particles extended, and the table slowly expanded. Everyone's seats also slid, leaving more space. New seats rose from the ground one after another.
After doing this, Han Xiao casually pointed to the empty seats and chuckled.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
Seeing this, the group of revivors heaved a sigh of relief. They nodded and thanked him before finding empty seats to sit down.
They had originally wanted to watch a group of association members stop the enemy at the frontline, but after learning the truth about the Sanctum Revival from Beiger, everyone changed their minds overnight and decided to participate in the battle.
Originally, they were still worried that Black Star would make things difficult for them, or at the very least, someone would make a few sarcastic remarks. However, they realized that this group of participants acted as if it was a matter of course, and no one mocked their choice. This made them relax. However, thinking about it, they were all the same. The big brother would not mock the second brother.
Sun Hunter glanced at them and said, "Why are there only so few of you? There should be some talents, right? Where's that smelly Elf King?"
"They …" A former member of the avoidance faction paused and smiled helplessly. "They don't want to get involved in the war and have already left the main universe. No one can contact them."
Everyone was astonished. Not everyone knew about this matter. Kasuyi had concealed the news.
"Then they really suffered a huge loss to miss such a good thing." Sun Hunter clicked his tongue in wonder.
The corners of many people's mouths curled up as they secretly mocked. In any case, they had to finish the path they had chosen. They would not feel sorry for this group of people who ran away.
It was a pity that they did not know the story in Han Xiao's memories. Otherwise, they would have known that there was a suitable description for this kind of behavior — it was as if they had entered Lust after four or nine years.
"They still don't know the truth about the Sanctum Revival, right? Should we chase them back?" Milizaus turned around and asked.
Han Xiao did not mind and pretended to be calm.
"Our association is not an organization that can only be entered and not left. They have the freedom to leave. There's no need to care about them …"
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly paused, chuckled, and continued.
"Besides, didn't they come back on their own?"
After saying that, everyone noticed it and turned to look at the bright starry sky outside the window. They saw a teleportation gate spinning open, and streams of light landed on the training base.
Soon, dense footsteps came from afar, getting closer and closer. Everyone turned to look at the open door. Under everyone's gazes, all the revivors of the avoidance faction who had run away appeared at the door and walked in one after another. Dylan was the last to leave.
Kasuyi calmly took a sip of his tea. After this group of people returned, because they could not find Black Star, they contacted him one after another. He arranged for everyone to appear together today and separate from the other group that stayed behind to avoid the war. However, only he and Han Xiao knew about this matter.
"Yo, we were just talking about you guys. Didn't you say you were staying away from the war? Why are you back?"
Sun Hunter winked and said in a teasing tone.
The others also had mocking expressions on their faces. Their gazes kept sweeping past Dylan, who was at the end of the team. They still remembered that Dylan was the most determined person to avoid the war. His resolute expression when he slammed the table and objected to participating in the war was still vivid in their minds. But now, he was silent, expressionless, and looking straight ahead, as if he treated everyone else as air. He did not even look at anyone after entering the room.
Dylan ignored Sun Hunter and looked at Han Xiao. "Black Star, we hope to participate in the war. Do you agree?"
As soon as he said that, the others stopped talking and turned to look at Han Xiao, waiting for his decision.
Han Xiao glanced at the group of people and knocked on the table. A batch of empty seats rose from the ground again.
"Sit."
Seeing this, the group of people relaxed. They did not dare look into Han Xiao's eyes. After bowing their heads, they quickly sat down.
Seeing that Han Xiao did not have any intention of talking to him, the anxiety in Dylan's heart dissipated a little. He found a seat and sat down obediently.
Before he returned, he had been worried that he would be punished. After all, he had always disagreed in the past, so it was very likely that Black Star was unwilling to accept him. He was not confident and felt that he would be mocked no matter what. He did not expect Black Star to treat him the same, as if he did not care about him at all.
At this moment, Sun Hunter pursed his lips and looked at Dylan with disdain.
"Tsk tsk, didn't you say you would never regret it? Didn't you have a deep grudge? Weren't you quite stubborn? I look down on you."
Dylan did not mind. He could not suppress his foul mouth and retorted, "Do I need you to think highly of me? It's my freedom to do whatever I want. Can't I change my mind? In order to make you think highly of me, you want me to give up the chance to live forever. Who do you think you are? "
He had always done what he wanted. If he cared about the opinions of others, he would not have died so tragically in history.
After a battle in his heart, he finally chose the chance to live forever. Although the hatred of the past was engraved in his heart, it did not blind his rationality. He was not willing to fight for the three Universal Civilizations. Hatred was one factor, and the other factor was that there were no benefits. Now that the truth of the Sanctum Revival was right in front of him, he naturally knew what was more important. There were infinite possibilities as long as he was alive, and the contempt of others was not an obstacle to him making the right decision.
"Humph, I'll kill you one day." Sun Hunter snorted and turned around, too lazy to argue with this guy.
The others also retracted their gazes. For the sake of important benefits, not many Beyond Grade As would be affected by the opinions of others. It was fine to mock them in their hearts, but they could understand the choice of these people. There was nothing to look down on.
Han Xiao ignored them and waited for everyone to quiet down before continuing to talk about business.
Not long after, this simple meeting ended, and everyone dispersed with their own thoughts.
Just as Dylan was about to leave, Han Xiao's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Stay for a while."
Everyone paused and looked back at the calm Han Xiao playfully. They quickened their pace and left, deliberately leaving some space for themselves. Soon, only the two of them were left in the room.
Dylan's expression froze. He turned back to look at Han Xiao, not daring to look into Han Xiao's indifferent eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Han Xiao tilted his head and pretended to be confused. "You incited the members to leave the association. Don't tell me you think this matter is over just like that?"
"… What do you want to do?"
Dylan's heart skipped a beat. Although he had a foul mouth, that was because of his personality. It was not that he was afraid of nothing.
However, Han Xiao did not answer immediately. Instead, he said to himself,
He just said, "Your experience is indeed very tragic, but this is not an excuse for your incitement. Are you the only one here who has a grudge with the three Universal Civilizations? You're the only one.
I don't care about your hatred. That's your private matter. How you deal with it has nothing to do with me, and I don't sympathize with you. You deserve to be beaten to death. I only care about whether my plan can be carried out as usual and whether the battle can develop smoothly. You've obstructed me many times, so you should pay a price … "
"I've already put down my grudge for the time being and am willing to come back and work for the three Universal Civilizations. What else do you want?"
Dylan felt even more uneasy as he said in a deep voice.
"What does it have to do with me whether you put down your grudge or not? Do you think I'll spoil you just because you've overcome your difficulties? If you didn't have the chance to live forever, would you have come back? I only care about whether you can play a role! "
Han Xiao was not going to fall for it. He slowly said,
"But you took the initiative to come back. You did make the right choice. No path is dark, so I'll give you a chance."
"What are you doing?"
Dylan clenched his fists and carefully retreated.
"If you didn't come back today, I would have hunted you down and not let you have the chance to encounter the World Tree. I believe your companions would have been happy to expose your route. After you died, I would have sent you to the Underworld and worked for the battle. I would have never let you free.
However, I'm very satisfied that you came back yourself, so I won't kill you. I'll still send an unstable factor like you to the Underworld, but I promise that after the war ends, I'll remove your Hero Spirit identity and use the Sanctum Revival to return you to normal. You'll still have eternal life in the future … "
As he spoke, Han Xiao slowly stood up, rubbed his fists, and narrowed his eyes.
"I hope you'd better fight back. You don't speak human language every day. I've long wanted to beat you up and fix your mouth!"
