After dealing with the upper echelons of the Star Alliance, Han Xiao became the boss. The three Universal Civilizations and the World Tree Civilization were in charge of the subsequent cleanup and recruitment operations.
Because the Star Alliance's resistance had basically collapsed, this was a time-consuming and effortless task for the three Universal Civilizations. They methodically cleaned up the civilization migration troops in the Star Alliance.
Originally, the rare war mission was a large-scale event that the players were passionate about, but this time, the three Universal Civilizations did not issue a large-scale summoning order. Only a small number of players were summoned to deal with the Star Alliance, and more players focused on their own Pro League.
After a long period of preparation, the qualifiers had already begun, and it was now at the climax. Therefore, most of the players were not interested in the Star Alliance War. They only wanted to hurt each other and participate in the new Pro League.
Because Han Xiao had been farming the Sanctum authority and working for the truth of the universe's Iteration, he did not pay attention to the situation of the players' Pro League. Now that he had the time to take a look, he realized that the biggest special feature of this Pro League was that the combat level had increased significantly. The mainstream competition level had already increased from Grade B to Calamity Grade, and their destructive power had increased greatly.
It was now Version 5.5. Compared to Version 4.0, the level cap had increased from Level 150 to Level 200. The series of missions of the World Tree War had made the players earn a lot. Although they had watched a wave of cinematics during the final battle, the victory settlement had brought the players a shocking amount of benefits.
During the fourth season of the Pro League, the mainstream players were basically Grade B. Although they were considered the backbone of the universe, in the eyes of the top combatants, they were still noobs. In the fifth season of the Pro League, the gap between the players was even greater. Now, the main players of the Pro League had to be at the Calamity Grade, and their battles were very good.
In the Supers Holy Land, on an uninhabited planet, in Arena No. 24 of the qualifiers.
The battleships of the player guilds floated in midair and watched the battle on the ground. They saw two 'yellow dragons' entangling and colliding with each other. From time to time, shockwaves would burst out, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground within a few kilometers.
Two players in heavy armor were moving rapidly on the planet's surface, constantly exchanging blows with each other. They were like walking natural disasters, but their IDs were unfamiliar. They were not professional players from any guild, just ordinary players participating in the competition.
These were just two unknown players, but their destructive power was already very outstanding. Many of the players in the sky couldn't take their eyes off them.
Because the players had stepped into the Calamity Grade in batches, their strength had increased collectively, and many people's combat power had undergone a qualitative change. In order to ensure viewership ratings and prevent the professional players of some large guilds from really failing in the qualifiers, many large clubs had obtained a direct pass to the official league, not needing to take the risk in the qualifiers. Although this made the preliminaries less exciting, the players were still very excited because there were so many dark horses.
"The overall destructive power of the players is getting stronger and stronger …"
In outer space, Han Xiao's virtual projection overlooked the planet, taking in the scene of the players' battle.
He was in stealth mode, so the other players couldn't see his projection. They were still focused on the match and didn't look up at the sky.
"Let the players grow a few more versions, and the level cap will be unlocked more and more. They will definitely become the new source of chaos."
Han Xiao's eyes moved slightly as he muttered to himself.
Now that the galactic society had formed a new stable structure, it would basically maintain overall peace for a long time. This was a good thing for the galactic residents, but it was a bad thing for the players.
After experiencing the events of several versions, the players had already eaten big fish and meat and seen big scenes. It would definitely be unbearable for them to go back and do the daily side quests. If there were no new disasters or big events, the players who were unwilling to be left out would definitely become 'big events'. As their strength increased, they would definitely become more restless and wouldn't be satisfied with being leisurely, resulting in chaos.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. Han Xiao looked deeply at the players' spaceships in the sky, turned around, and disappeared.
On the other side, in the cabins of the players' spaceships, countless people were staring at the feedback of the ground competition from the satellite screen.
The officers of the various guilds and clubs were also paying attention to the situation of the qualifiers, recording the dark horses, and discussing softly.
"This year's competition is really top-notch. There are too many strong people."
"I don't think it's good. I've already seen more than thirty top-notch passersby. If our team's players are really defeated by passersby, it will be a huge loss of face."
"I really hope that the next version will come soon and open up a higher level. The guild plan can also be implemented."
Many guild officers were secretly excited.
As the level cap was unlocked further, the scale of the Calamity Grade players of the various guilds welcomed a wave of increase. They became an organization, and the operational strength of the guild organizations also increased.
Now, many guilds had a large number of Calamity Grade players, and their strength was enough to occupy a place in the galactic society. In order to continue widening the gap between their professional players and ordinary players, many professional guilds had privately formulated detailed guild operations plans for the next version, deciding to expand in the universe in the next version.
Although they were watching the Pro League, the thoughts of many guild officers had already drifted away. They could not wait to do something big in the next version.
…
Han Xiao did not have the time to pay attention to the players' Pro League. To him, this was only to adjust his mood. He buried himself in the machinery factory and almost abandoned all his chores, repeatedly checking the feasibility of the World Tree's Information Materialization function to break through the dark side universe.
The days flew by during the research, and the three Universal Civilizations' cleansing of the Star Alliance gradually came to an end. They had already received the battle report made by Han Xiao from the upper echelons of the Star Alliance. They were speechless at Han Xiao's bad taste and felt that this person was f * cking ridiculous.
However, the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations could not disturb Han Xiao, who was studying the plan to break the seal of the dark side universe, because of such a small matter. They could only pretend that nothing had happened and silently order people to destroy this' dark history '.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed. The three Universal Civilizations had more or less completed the dismantling and cleansing of the Star Alliance. They had digested most of the spoils of war and dismembered this enemy who was hiding in their beds.
The players' fifth Pro League also came to an end during this period. This time, the Dynasty Club finally returned to first place and won the championship of the fifth Pro League. Second Prince inherited King Admiral's position and led the team to win the championship. He instantly raised his position in history by a level and was hailed as the 'cornerstone of the next dynasty' by the club.
Dynasty was the only team to have won the championship twice in the five Pro Leagues. Their popularity, which had been declining slightly, soared like a rocket.
The former Dynasty champion captain, King Admiral, who was the coach of the team, publicly congratulated Second Prince and expressed his gratification. Pork Bun called it the 'passing of the baton to the king', which was accepted by the players and spread widely on the forums.
The second and third place of this year's competition were America's Devil team and Russia's White Vodka team. Although the Huaxia team was not as dominant as before and was unable to occupy two of the top three spots, their performance was still not bad. They had obtained excellent results in the individual competition, group competition, and other subsidiary competitions, and their presence was very strong.
With the end of the Pro League, Version 5.5 also came to the end, and it was time for the version update.
In the player guild bases on the various planets of the Supers Holy Land, groups of players gathered there and waited to go offline. They chatted casually, and it was as noisy as a market.
"It's finally going to be updated again. I wonder how many years later it will be this time."
"The next version should be a major update. The level cap will be unlocked at least 20. Let's go!"
"I wonder what will happen in the next version. Even a great enemy like the World Tree has been dealt with. I don't think anything can shake the current structure of the galactic society."
"Didn't you see the deduction of the Galaxy Times? There's a high chance that the internal conflicts will intensify. Black Star might turn evil and become a new boss, competing with the three Universal Civilizations for hegemony."
"Yo, does that mean we can finally start a massacre? Then I'm going to kill him until the world turns upside down! "
"That's great. I've been unhappy with those three old b * stards for a long time. When the time comes, let me chop them up to vent my anger."
"You guys are so disappointing! Compared to this, shouldn't we be more concerned about whether the bug of not being able to go naked can be fixed in the next version? "
"Yes, yes, yes! If we still can't go naked in the next version, I'll definitely complain! "
Hearing the players around her shouting, Maple Moon had a look of disdain. She felt that these people were hopeless.
As they chatted, it was time to go offline. A large white light flashed, and groups of players disappeared one after another. The hall became empty.
At the same time, in the private research room of the Supers Holy Land, Han Xiao, who was researching, paused and raised his head.
"Hmm, has the version update started again?"
Han Xiao stopped his work and opened the interface to take a look. The forum was closed again. This meant that the time flow of the dark side universe and the real universe was unbound again, becoming two independent systems again. He was the only one left with the stable information interference bridge.
During this period of time, he had repeatedly studied the feasibility of the transformation plan. Now, he was more than seventy percent confident. Although he had contributed to it, it was more due to the testing and perfection of the previous dark side iterations. He was also standing on the shoulders of giants and making the final repairs to this plan.
Han Xiao shook his head and closed the interface. Just as he was about to return to his research, Philip suddenly appeared.
"Master, hum … Her Excellency Ames has come to your office. She wants to see you, hum."
"Oh, I got it. I'll go over now."
Han Xiao rubbed the space between his brows. He had no choice but to put down the research in his hands and turn around to go to the office.
As soon as he entered, he saw Ames sitting in her seat with her back to the door.
Hearing the sound, Ames turned her chair around. A pair of long legs stretched out from under the high slit of her black skirt. She sat with her legs crossed and stared at Han Xiao with a faint smile. "It's not easy to see a busy person like you."
"I've been very busy recently. You know that." Han Xiao walked around the table and came to the back of the chair. He pressed his hands on both sides of Ames's forehead and gently rubbed it.
Ames closed her eyes comfortably, but her mouth didn't stop. She chuckled and said, "Yes, there's no time when you're not busy. If I didn't come to look for you occasionally, I would almost suspect that you had forgotten about me."
"What are you talking about? You're talking nonsense. You should be punished." Han Xiao curled his lips, and a weak electric current appeared on his finger, causing Ames's eyelashes to tremble.
Ames tilted her head and dodged Han Xiao's finger. She slapped his hand away, turned around, and stood up. She put away her smile and said seriously,
"I don't understand. The World Tree has been dealt with, and the three Universal Civilizations have admitted defeat. We don't have any safety concerns now. Why are you still making yourself so busy? Where are you getting the pressure from? "
"… This is a secret. I can't tell you yet. In short, it's very troublesome." Han Xiao shook his head. It was useless to tell the Beyond Grade As about the secrets of the universe's Iterations, so he did not reveal it to anyone other than the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations.
"Do you still remember what I said back then? Ambition is endless. When are you willing to stop? Do you really want to replace the three Universal Civilizations? "Ames frowned." What exactly is it that you have to hide it so tightly? Can't you tell us and bear the burden together? "
"You can't help …"
Han Xiao hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, and touched Ames' cheek. Feeling the smooth texture, he softly said, "Yes.
"This should be the last time. I'll let us all survive."
Hearing this, Ames's eyes changed. Although she did not know what Han Xiao was hiding, she could hear the seriousness in Han Xiao's tone. Even a Transcendent would find it troublesome, so it must be some kind of unimaginable predicament.
Ames was about to chase after him when the communicator in the room suddenly rang.
It was a message from Marbruce, and there was only one content …
The Sanctum exploration team was finally back!
Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll accompany you next time."
Han Xiao hurriedly changed into the King.
Ames opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the next moment, Han Xiao activated the teleportation and disappeared from the room in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the empty room, Ames clenched and unclenched her fists. She repeated this a few times before taking a deep breath and suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart.
The subordinate who had once needed her protection was now an existence she could only look up to. Until today, she felt that it was more and more difficult for her to keep up with Han Xiao's footsteps.
Although Ames had a calm personality and rarely bothered about such things, after so many years, she would still care and feel disappointed … Even though Han Xiao's attitude toward her had always been the same, Ames knew that it was very difficult for her to share Han Xiao's worries.
