"We will consider your request."
Then, a Star Cluster Civilization representative opposite Zoel stood up, bowed respectfully, and left the bright guest room. Zoel was the only one left in the room.
Zoel shook his head slightly and took a sip from the wine glass on the table. The spicy amber wine flowed down his throat like a line of fire.
He received more than ten people representing the top organizations in the Shattered Star Ring, and every one of them was extremely respectful because of his identity. However, when it came to specific matters, everyone was vague.
However, siding with the Red Empire was a very important decision that required a long time to consider. Zoel understood this point.
The Shattered Star Ring was the territory of the Radiant Federation, but the Star Cluster Civilizations were not the subordinates of the Radiant Federation. There was no loyalty to speak of. Every civilization was independent and only acknowledged the jurisdiction of the Radiant Federation. Every civilization had their own ambitions and wanted to expand, and the new Star Field was an opportunity.
"Currently, of the seven Star Cluster Civilizations in the Shattered Star Ring, only Klent is firmly siding with us. According to the current trend, we should be able to rope in some Star Cluster Civilizations. Together with the Bloodshed Land, we should have enough chess pieces."
The expansion ambitions of the Red Empire did not stop there. Zoel was only in charge of the Shattered Star Ring, and the other Star Fields also had their own special envoys. The new area outside the Shattered Star Ring was only one of the things that the Red Empire was looking for.
It would take at least a few years to complete the initial layout.
…
The gathering came to an end. Everyone had settled their business and gathered in the hall. Heber appeared again and gave a concluding speech, announcing the end of the gathering.
The atmosphere of this gathering seemed relaxed, but it was actually filled with undercurrents. Who knew how many important matters that could affect countless people had been decided in private, and these were all decided by the big shots with just a few words. From the checks and balances between the various relationships, one could often peek into the workings of the galactic world and the nature of power. The right to speak was closely related to the amount of resources one could control.
Han Xiao had also gained a lot. Not only did he know the inside story of the Red Empire's operation, but he was also mentally prepared for the next version update. He had also expanded his network and officially entered the circle of top organizations.
Although he was mainly relying on his identity as a member of Floating Dragon Island and was still considered an outsider, this was a good start. If he had only relied on his current strength and organization, he would not have had the chance to participate in this gathering at all. Obtaining the qualifications to enter the circle was more important, and his position would slowly rise.
If one were to quantify his connections, Han Xiao's connections had increased by dozens of times. In the past, most of the people he came into contact with were from Star System Civilizations and mercenaries. Now, he had the contact information of the top organizations in the Shattered Star Ring. If he encountered any problems in the future, he would be able to obtain more comprehensive and powerful help.
The nickname "Black Star Network" was even more well-deserved.
This time, he had even met the other two Beyond Grade A Supers of the Shattered Star Ring and met Austin.
Everyone said goodbye to Heber and left. Han Xiao and the others walked out of the palace and immediately saw Carroll, who was waiting outside with a long face.
"Black Star, this is the blueprint you asked for." Carroll's face was ugly. He threw a new communicator to Han Xiao, which stored the information of five blueprints.
After roughly looking at it and confirming that there was no problem with the blueprints, Han Xiao nodded and walked past him, not wanting to have any other interaction with Carroll.
Ames looked straight ahead and walked past Carroll.
Carroll was left alone in an awkward position, feeling completely ignored.
This time, a shadow blocked his vision.
Carroll raised his head and saw Heber standing beside him, looking down at him.
"Your Excellency Tyrant …" Carroll's face paled, and he stuttered, "Sorry, I lost this time."
"Will you lose next time?" Heber said coldly.
It was a simple sentence, and his tone did not have any intention of blaming Carroll. As if he had been motivated, Carroll replied loudly, "Definitely not!"
"That's my subordinate." Heber nodded slowly, turned around, and walked away, leaving behind a stalwart figure.
…
Han Xiao and the others did not plan to stay on Planet Heber. They went straight to the dock, boarded the Blacklight Stealth, and left Bloodshed Land.
Ames guided the two sisters in their training. Han Xiao let Risda control the spaceship while he went to the training room to check the five blueprints that Carroll had lost to him.
Among them, there was the Heavy Fortress used during sparring. Its official name was' Flying Fortress'. Its defense was amazing, and it could also be used as a flying vehicle.
There was also the Ship Destroyer Giant Soldier Armor, which could replace spaceships as space weapons. Its mobility, armor value, destructive power, close-range, and long-range capabilities were all very impressive. It was Han Xiao's first Giant Soldier Armor blueprint.
A Heavy Mechanic built heavy machinery, and the basic attributes of the machinery were usually stronger. These two things could be used as Grade A combat equipment.
The other three were also important blueprints for Carroll. The first was a medium-sized armor that was six to seven meters tall. It could be piloted by many people, had excellent performance, and was good at frontal attacks. It was suitable to be sold to guilds.
The second was an anti-gravity electromagnetic levitation motorcycle. It had an ecological shield to resist cosmic radiation and could travel in space. Han Xiao had the Berserk Ape mechanical suit, so he did not need it. However, the specialty of this galactic motorcycle was that it looked cool and cool. It could be an advanced product of the Nuclear Magnetic Flying Backpack. Of course, Han Xiao still needed to modify the blueprint and add a self-destruct function.
The third was a large-caliber ship-borne cannon. It was a blueprint for spaceships. Most of the ship-borne weapons were heavy firearms, so their power was naturally much higher than portable weapons.
The prerequisite knowledge for the five blueprints was mainly from the Armed Class. The highest knowledge was only High-End Knowledge.
After looking at the spoils of war, Han Xiao took out the essence core of the Void Lord and looked at it carefully.
This small ball condensed by gray fog had a special feeling when he held it in his hand. It was ethereal as if it did not exist. It was as if he could crush it, but once he used force, he would feel a repulsive force that was full of elasticity.
"The core of the Void Lord can strengthen the Void Genes, just like the Void Dragon Marrow in the past, but the effect is stronger." Han Xiao's eyes flashed.
In the hierarchy of the void species, the Void Lord belonged to the top level. Most of them existed in the secondary planes in the eyes of mages, or hid in the Void Vision. They rarely interfered with reality. The Void Lord could be considered a type of higher dimensional life form. Similar existences were magic entities. They condensed void energy to form a shell and projected reality. They were ever-changing. Even in the sea of stars where all kinds of races bloomed, they were still very rare and strange life forms.
This was not the first time he had used such an item. Swallowing the core of the Void Lord was quite beneficial to him. Normally, there would be risks when using species genetic items, but the compatibility between species was very high, so the chances of side effects were very small.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the gray fog ball. An extremely cold feeling exploded from his mouth and spread throughout his body in an instant. It was as if even his soul was being frozen.
You have used the core of the Void Lord. Fusion Progress: 38% … 61% … 100%
Fusion complete! Fusion: Perfect
Attributes increased permanently. + 8 STR, + 12 DEX, + 10 END, + 10 INT, + 15 MYS, + 8 CHA
Your talent [Intermediate Strengthened Life] has been slightly strengthened.
The cold quickly disappeared, and Han Xiao exhaled. After seeing the notification on the interface, his eyes could not help but light up.
The attribute bonus was very impressive, and his total attributes increased by sixty-three points. What was even more surprising was that there was a clear notification for [Intermediate Strengthened Life].
This talent had accompanied him for a very long time and provided him with a large amount of health. When the talent was upgraded the last time, Han Xiao guessed that he would need to use more genetic items without side effects to continue strengthening this talent. The Void Lord's core proved his guess.
Although the effect of [Intermediate Strengthened Life] did not change and had not been upgraded, since there was a notification, it meant that his train of thought was correct. Han Xiao decided to make collecting rare materials of void species as a new mission.
…
Han Xiao first sent Ames and the others back to Floating Dragon Island, and the return journey was very peaceful.
After returning to Floating Dragon Island, the Blacklight Stealth stopped at the dock. Ames and the others walked down the gangway and turned to look at Han Xiao, who was beside the hatch.
Han Xiao turned to look at Hella and the others, smiled, and said, "You two follow the Dragon Emperor and train well. I'm still waiting for you to help me."
Aurora raised her hand and said with a serious face, "I'll definitely work hard."
Hella opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
She suddenly realized that the two of them were going to be separated again. They would be training on the unfamiliar Floating Dragon Island and starting a new life.
It might be a very long time before she saw Han Xiao again. Hella could not help but think of the time when she stayed in Blue Star and looked up at the stars. Her emotions could not help but become complicated.
Hella knew that she did not know Han Xiao well. The chances of the two of them spending time together were actually very limited, and they spent more time apart than together …
When the words reached her mouth, she hesitated and said softly, "Be careful."
"Got it, I'm leaving."
Han Xiao waved his hand, and the hatch closed, covering his figure.
The next moment, the spaceship took off and disappeared into the distance.
Ames turned to the two sisters, stopped smiling, and said calmly, "Next, you two will start your official training. I'll be very strict."
"I couldn't ask for more." Hella took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.
…
After leaving Floating Dragon Island, the Blacklight Stealth entered hyperdrive mode and flew toward Planet Sunil.
Going to the Sol Cluster to participate in the Tyrant's party had taken a lot of time. During this time, the Black Star Corps had been maintaining business, and the players had not encountered any major problems. Everything was normal.
Not long ago, Herlous had sent news that after a few months of work by 200,000 players, the Sunils had finally made a breakthrough and eliminated a large number of Prophecy Stone mines. The strength of the Psychic Current had decreased significantly.
According to this trend, they would be able to completely eliminate the threat of the Catastrophe very soon and save the Sunils from this disaster.
However, as they gradually dug deeper into the mines, they discovered some strange phenomena, and Herlous requested Han Xiao to personally assist them.
The inside story that he had learned from the Tyrant's party gave Han Xiao quite a sense of urgency. He wanted to speed up the development of the Black Star Corps, so he decided to personally make a trip to Planet Sunil to completely solve the Sunils' predicament. At the same time, he would also conduct an on-site inspection and prepare to build the third sub-base.
