Galaxy Calendar Year 800, January 1st.
Central Galaxy, Planet New Era.
A few months ago, in order to hold this celebration, the three Universal Civilizations had started to artificially modify this planet. They had transformed a dead and desolate planet into a celebration planet and named it 'Planet New Era' to commemorate the past hundred years of experience, especially the victory of the World Tree War.
Looking down from space, there was a gigantic building that looked like a Heavenly Tower standing on the ground of Planet New Era. At the top was an open-air square platform. This was the venue of the celebration, and rows of floating seats were neatly suspended around it.
Countless spaceships were floating in the sky, covering the sky. Countless galactic media had arrived early.
This time, it was also a comprehensive broadcast to the various Star Fields. However, the number of viewers could not set a new record because the war had caused a lot of population losses. However, the viewership ratings had reached a new high, and almost every family stayed in front of the television to watch the broadcast.
Anti-gravity hovering vehicles in the atmosphere rose from the ground and flew to the venue. The invited guests took their seats one after another. The representatives of the various civilizations, military heroes, Beyond Grade As, and so on were basically all big shots in the galactic society. As the guests took their seats and waited for the celebration to begin, the venue quickly became lively.
The Beyond Grade As beside him chatted casually. Han Xiao did not participate in the conversation. He casually took out his communicator and took a look. The galactic media had already started to broadcast. The camera swept across the venue, and as if they knew what the audience wanted to see, they pulled it to his face from time to time, showing his well-defined masculine face.
"Tsk, you're always filming me. Do you like to be pleasing to the eyes so much?"
Han Xiao smacked his lips, not embarrassed at all.
Kasuyi, who was sitting at the side, elbowed him in the waist and chuckled. "It's a pity that you haven't revived those Beyond Grade As who died in battle. They're going to miss this celebration."
"I did it on purpose. When we mourn the dead later, if we see them alive, it will ruin the atmosphere."
Han Xiao paused for a moment, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"Besides, you don't want to see Dylan speak on such an occasion, right?"
"… That's true." Kasuyi shivered.
Han Xiao shook his head and did not say anything else.
In the past half a year, the Supers Holy Land had stabilized, and he had also had a rare relaxing holiday. His mental state was now very good, and he ate well.
Although this celebration was just a process for Han Xiao, it was very meaningful to the galactic society. It was an attempt to comfort the wounds left behind by the galactic residents in the war and make them have the courage to look forward to the future. After all, normal people needed a sense of ceremony.
Not long after, the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations arrived in person. The venue gradually quieted down, and the audience watching the broadcast held their breaths.
Under everyone's gazes, Marbruce slowly walked to the podium. With a solemn expression, he swept his gaze across the crowd and slowly spoke.
"The universe is vast and boundless. Countless unknown civilizations are like stars in the sky, bringing vitality to this world that should have been dead. We are one of them, living in a corner of the universe, constantly reproducing … In the past hundred years, we have experienced many hardships, from internal conflicts, technological disasters, invasions from foreign enemies …"
Marbruce spoke for a while and recounted the various experiences of the past hundred years. The Crimson Tide, the development of the Flickering World, the Intelligent Plague, the World Tree War, and so on. After combing through them, he recalled the bitterness and sweetness, awakening the memories of many people.
The past hundred years could be said to have been turbulent. Black Star was a figure that could not be avoided. He had an extremely strong presence on the galactic stage, as if most of the major events in the galaxy had his shadow. The past hundred years were like the rise of Black Star.
Many players who were watching the broadcast listened with relish. When they thought of the 'Black Star Corps' video series created by Pork Bun, they could not help but feel honored. They felt a strong sense of immersion, as if they were there.
No matter how great Black Star's achievements were, the image of Black Phantom from back then was still etched in the minds of many hardcore players. Black Phantom grew up step by step under their support and witnessing. It was like watching a child grow up. It was incomparably close.
"… We've survived the past, and today, we've finally entered a new era of peace. This is inseparable from the contributions and sacrifices of our pioneers. They used their lives in exchange for a new and stable life for us …"
Marbruce's expression was solemn. He took out a speech and slowly read it.
"Galactic Alliance Army No. 31 Division, former Red Empire's' Iron Flag 'fleet, resisted the World Tree Civilization in the interception circle. A total of 8.8 million people, all wiped out.
"Galactic Alliance Army No. 477 Division, former Radiant Federation's' Glimmer 'fleet, faced the World Tree Civilization's vanguard at the front line of the Flickering World. A total of 11.2 million people, only 403 people remain.
"Galactic Alliance Army …"
Marbruce's tone was solemn as he read out the shocking casualty statistics one after another.
As the numbers of the sacrificed troops were listed one after another, the mood of the people present and the galactic residents in front of the screen also became solemn.
Many people only knew that the casualties in this war were heavy, but they did not know the exact situation. Only now did they have a clear idea.
Everyone mourned in silence for a few minutes before Marbruce continued to speak. The atmosphere was solemn as he conferred posthumous honors to the fallen soldiers. After all the sacrifices were made, it was time to reward the living war heroes. Only then did the atmosphere become relaxed and lively.
The war heroes went up the stage one after another, and the heads of the three Universal Civilizations awarded them one after another. The military officers made up the majority, and all the Beyond Grade As received a share. Even the former direct descendants of the Revivors who had joined the Supers Holy Land received different Medals of Honor. Even the Supercluster Alliance, which had always been able to watch the show, received different medals.
The three Universal Civilizations expressed their sincerity. Today, they did not talk about factions, only merits, and treated everyone equally … except for Lagi.
Lagi originally wanted to express himself freely, but when he felt Han Xiao's gaze on him, he obediently followed the script.
This segment lasted for a long time, and finally, it was Han Xiao's turn to be the last one.
Marbruce coughed and said in a clear voice,
"In the World Tree War, Black Star made too many contributions and provided us with a lot of information. In the end, he almost turned the tide and turned the disadvantageous situation around, giving us a chance to end the war early. No one can replace his contributions. All the members of the Galaxy Civilization General Court have unanimously decided to award Black Star the Galaxy Medal!"
Clap clap clap!
Everyone applauded. Now that Black Star's reputation in the Order Faction was off the charts, almost everyone sincerely congratulated him.
When dealing with the Intelligent Plague, Black Star had already obtained a Galaxy Medal, and now, he had obtained a second one … The Galaxy Medal was the highest honor of the galactic society, and in principle, it would not be awarded a second time. However, Black Star was the only person who had obtained it twice, and he had already made history.
However, no one was surprised. Black Star deserved such an honor. Other than the Galaxy Medal, no other award could match his contributions.
Amidst the warm applause, Han Xiao stood up calmly and walked to the high platform.
"Thank you for your contributions to the galactic society," Marbruce said sincerely.
On the other hand, Louis and the Ethereal Pope patted Han Xiao's arm to show their closeness.
Han Xiao would not embarrass them on such an occasion. He nodded and took the Galaxy Medal from the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations, pinning it on his chest.
According to the usual practice, the recipient had to give a speech. Han Xiao had already prepared a speech, which was all just for show. He was already very familiar with this.
He walked to the podium skillfully and was about to speak according to the speech when he suddenly paused.
Countless lights flashed in front of him, and countless galactic residents were looking at him from behind the screen. The guests around him quietened down and craned their necks. The faces of different races had the same anticipation and hope. They held their breaths and waited for his long speech.
Seeing this, Han Xiao was a little dazed. He looked down at the medal on his chest and subconsciously rubbed it with his fingers.
He hesitated for a few seconds before giving up on his lengthy speech. He shook his head gently and said seriously,
"… I hope that there will be no more war in this world.
The venue hesitated for a moment, waiting for Han Xiao to continue. However, Han Xiao nodded to everyone after he finished speaking. Seeing this, everyone present applauded for a long time.
…
The process proceeded step by step. After Marbruce's impassioned 'looking forward to the future' speech, the celebration ceremony finally ended successfully.
The entire galactic society was jubilant. It was as if their souls had been baptized, and they were filled with new motivation for the future.
A few days later, in the joint conference room of the three Universal Civilizations …
"The Star Alliance is still the same. According to the spies who were turned by Black Star, the upper echelons of the Star Alliance believe their intelligence and are very excited."
"However, we still have to be careful in case the Star Alliance sends out new spies. That way, we'll be exposed."
"That's right. Black Star has already informed them. He said that he's going to disappear for a period of time and go to the Sanctum to revive a batch of Beyond Grade As. During this period, we have to be careful. Don't let the Star Alliance see through our tricks."
The three of them discussed softly.
Black Star had gone to the Sanctum and could not guard the Supers Holy Land for the time being. However, the three of them had no other thoughts about him. Now, they were only worried that the Star Alliance would see through their plan because Black Star was not around.
"After resting for more than half a year, the army has recovered a little, but the loss of Supers is quite serious. There's no way we can compete with the Supers Holy Land. Sigh …"
"However, Black Star just said a few days ago that he's willing to develop the Sanctum with us in the future. I don't know if he's lying."
The three of them were confused.
Now that Black Star had the upper hand and his position was stable, there was no need for him to share the information of the Sanctum with them. They did not know what Black Star was up to this time.
Marbruce hesitated and said, "I don't think it's credible. The Sanctum Revival is Black Star's important trump card. How can he share it … If he really did that, he must have a bigger plan."
Louis shook his head. "Let's not talk about him for now. It's more important to deal with the Star Alliance. Although they've fallen for our trap now, we can't hide it forever. The longer we wait, the more likely they will become suspicious. When do you think it's better to make a move?"
The Ethereal Pope pondered. "Now that the war weariness is high, the galactic society can't withstand another round of war. If we act rashly, the praise now might become criticism … I think it's best to wait at least three to five years before the galactic society stabilizes. Anyway, time is on our side, so there's no need to rush. Let's wait until we recover."
The three of them discussed in low voices when to start a new war.
…
Half a month later, in an uninhabited area of the Supers Holy Land.
Han Xiao floated in the universe, and there was no one around him.
He had already greeted the three Universal Civilizations and the Supers Holy Land. Today, he stepped into the Sanctum and began his plan to farm authority.
In the internal space, the World Tree moved slightly and transformed into a Sanctum key, which quickly burned.
The next moment, a surging light bloomed from his palm and shot straight out, turning into the light door of the Sanctum in front of him and slowly rotating.
"I hope this plan works …"
Han Xiao calmed himself down and flew in. His figure was gradually engulfed by the light.
