Han Xiao left Sisko, who had lost his spaceship, alone on that unlucky planet that had been used as a battlefield. He then used the Void Dimension Jump to return to the Shattered Star Ring after a few days.
Midway, he contacted Hella and the others, who had already left Planet Macipher, and asked them to pick him up in a spaceship. In a desolate area, the two parties finally met up.
Chi!
The sound of air leaking came from the air pump, and the cabin door slid open. As soon as Han Xiao entered the cabin, he saw Hella and the others waiting at the door.
Fu Ding walked forward, carefully sizing up Han Xiao. After confirming that there were no missing parts, he could not help but feel relieved.
"Phew, looks like you're fine. We've been worried about you for the past few days."
Hella snorted. "It's you guys, not me …"
Han Xiao could not help but laugh. "Actually, it's not that dangerous. Don't you guys know how tenacious my life force is?"
"Speaking of life force …" Aurora had a confused look on her face, and her tone was filled with disbelief. "If I'm not wrong, have you already …"
"Already what?" Hella interrupted with a frown.
With a smile on his face, Han Xiao took out the Evolution Cube and played with it in his hands.
"You guessed right. I've already fought with Sisko. He didn't gain any advantage, and I didn't lose anything. It's considered a draw. He didn't manage to snatch the item back."
A draw with Sisko?
Hella was stunned, and it took her a second to understand what Han Xiao meant. She took a deep breath, and a look of disbelief appeared on her usually expressionless face. She stared at Han Xiao with her eyes wide open.
"Could it be that … you're already a Beyond Grade A?"
"It was just a fluke." Han Xiao waved his hands, but there was a smile on his face.
Hearing his confirmation, Hella, Fu Ding, and Aurora were all shocked.
Black Star … had really become a Beyond Grade A?
Although the three of them were looking forward to Han Xiao breaking through the limit and becoming a Beyond Grade A Supers standing at the top of the galaxy, following Han Xiao for the past few months was like going on a holiday. They did not see any signs of Han Xiao advancing at all.
In fact, they felt that there was little hope.
However, things happened so suddenly! While they were not mentally prepared, Black Star had suddenly advanced and even fought to a draw with a famous Beyond Grade A in the Shattered Star Ring. They could not imagine how Han Xiao had done it.
At this moment, the three people's minds went blank.
After regaining their composure, a sense of pleasant surprise blossomed in their hearts.
Although he was surprised, this was a good thing!
Fu Ding was overjoyed. He grabbed Han Xiao's arm and exclaimed, "Great! I always believed that you had such potential. This way, we won't have to escape from the Shattered Star Ring!"
"I never planned to escape …" Han Xiao was helpless.
Aurora also came forward with a look of surprise. "So, you're already at the level of Teacher?"
Ames, it's time to have a good talk with her … Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he nodded.
"You …" Hila hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed the words back into her stomach and only said a dry sentence.
"Congrats."
Her feelings were very complicated. She had always wanted to catch up to Han Xiao. When Han Xiao was at the Calamity Grade, she could still work hard, but this time was different.
In the ten years on Floating Dragon Island, she had experienced the strength of the Dragon Emperor countless times. She was very clear about how strong a Beyond Grade A was and how difficult it was to become a Beyond Grade A Super.
There had only been four Beyond Grade As in the entire Star Field for many years. Now, Han Xiao had surpassed them and become the fifth. Hella had known Han Xiao for almost twenty years. She had seen him at his weakest and most helpless state, as well as when he was invincible among Calamity Grades. She had witnessed almost every stage of his development.
From an ordinary person to a new Beyond Grade A Super, Han Xiao had only spent twenty years. He might be the fastest person in history to become a Beyond Grade A Super. Because she knew Han Xiao's past too well, Hella knew how difficult it had been for him.
Although Hella refused to admit defeat, she could not help but admire Han Xiao's achievements from the bottom of her heart.
If Hella originally had thoughts of competing with Han Xiao, at this moment, she was willing to become the shadow behind Han Xiao's light.
She had a feeling that she might be witnessing a living legend.
Of course, with her personality, it was impossible for her to reveal her true thoughts to Han Xiao.
Hella pursed her lips, changed the topic, and asked, "How did you do it? Can you teach me?"
Er, how can I teach you? You don't know how to cut leeks … Han Xiao coughed, put on a serious expression, and pressed his hands on Hella's shoulders.
"No, you don't need me to teach you."
"What do you mean …" Hella was confused.
Han Xiao looked straight into Hella's eyes and slowly said, "I've always believed in your potential, just like how you believe in me. One day, you will stand at the peak of the galaxy with me."
Hella broke free from Han Xiao's hands, turned around, and did not let Han Xiao see her panicked expression. She softly said, "Thank you."
So, you trust me so much. I didn't even know …
"There's no need to thank me between us." Han Xiao waved his hand. "We've known each other for twenty years."
This time, Aurora grabbed Han Xiao's clothes and asked curiously, "What about me? What about me? Do you trust me?"
Han Xiao helplessly patted her head. It was smooth and comfortable. "Wait until you reach the Calamity Grade."
"Humph, biased." Aurora turned her head away.
No matter what, the news of him becoming a Beyond Grade A really surprised Fu Ding and the others for a while. Then, the topic returned to how to deal with the subsequent problems.
"Black Star, you took Sisko's Evolution Cube. He won't give it up so easily, right?"
"Hmm, he said he'll work with the Tyrant to deal with me. Compared to the benefits of the Evolution Cube, this risk is very small. There's no need to worry about him in the short term. He's busy right now." Han Xiao shook his head and smiled. In his Observer's Mark, Sisko was still on that planet, supervising Sardeem to make a spaceship out of the scrapped parts.
Fu Ding frowned. "If Sisko and the Tyrant work together … that's very dangerous."
Han Xiao waved his hands. "It's not a big problem. Although I'm a new Beyond Grade A, I'm not at the bottom of this level. Plus, I have allies."
Isn't it just recruiting people? You make it sound like no one knows how to do it!
Compared to the other Beyond Grade As, his biggest advantage was that he had a clear path to upgrade.
When the other Beyond Grade As reached this level, they had to find their own path to continue evolving. It was like exploring in the dark, but he had a flashlight with him. All he had to do was harvest leeks and level up. The difference in growth efficiency was like heaven and earth.
"Then, what do you plan to do with the Evolution Cube?"
"I'll bring it back to the army first and let the officers enjoy the effects of the cube." Han Xiao stroked his chin. "After that, I'll use the Evolution Cube to form allies and find a new backer."
Sisko had the support of the Arcane Church, and he would have the same effect with the Evolution Cube. The Evolution Cube was a godly tool.
Compared to the previous owner, Sisko, his advantage was that the Evolution Cube was portable. With a Beyond Grade A like him carrying it around, there was no possibility of it being stolen.
The news of him possessing the Evolution Cube would spread throughout the galaxy sooner or later. Sisko would definitely not help him hide it and would even create more opponents for him.
At that time, all the organizations in the galaxy that coveted the Evolution Cube would have their eyes on him. Thus, just the Black Star Corps alone would not be able to occupy the Evolution Cube for a long time. He would have to find a new backer like Sisko.
Beep beep!
At this time, his communicator suddenly rang. Han Xiao glanced at it and saw that it was a communication request from the superior of Section Zero, Ralph.
Han Xiao waved his hands and gestured for Hella and the others to pilot the spaceship. He then walked to the side and picked up the call.
"Black Star, I have a huge piece of bad news!"
"You make it sound like you have good news one day," Han Xiaoxin joked. However, Ralph did not pick up the topic.
With an extremely serious expression, he said with a deep voice, "Just a few days ago, we confirmed a piece of information. The negotiations between the Red Empire and the Radiant Federation have ended successfully. The transfer of ownership of that new Star Field has already entered the execution stage. This means that when the Red Empire takes over that new Star Field, they will turn around and deal with the chaos caused by the Crimson Tide. Our secret war with Klent will also enter the liquidation stage of the Red Empire. There might only be half a year left before the war ends!"
"Oh?" Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. "This is indeed terrible news."
Currently, the Bloodshed Land still occupied the territory of a few border Star Systems in the Colton Star Cluster. Klent was the loyal lackey of the Red Empire, and the Red Empire would use this as an excuse to divide these few border Star Systems into the Star Cluster territory of the Klent Kingdom. Defining the territory of a Star Cluster was the authority that the three Universal Civilizations had 'given' to themselves. If they did not chase the Bloodshed Land away before that, Purple Crystal would very likely lose the territory of these few Star Systems.
The Shattered Star Ring was under the management of the Radiant Federation. However, unless Purple Crystal gave up on its neutral stance and became a subsidiary civilization of another civilization, there was no way they could rely on him to uphold justice. The Red Empire and the Radiant Federation would have a higher level of exchange of benefits, and Amethyst Civilization would not even have the right to interfere. They could only watch as their territory was ceded.
Of course, Purple Crystal could forcefully reject the decision made by the three Universal Civilizations and unilaterally refuse to accept the terms of dividing the territory, but the outcome would not be as good. As the ones who made the rules, the three Universal Civilizations would not allow any civilization to challenge their authority. The three of them were all powerful civilizations that had experienced the Dark Forest era of the exploration era. It was unrealistic to expect them to be merciful.
With the strength of a civilization that could look down on the entire Galaxy, they had countless means to make the civilizations that challenged them submit. To the people who made the rules, only the officials were allowed to do whatever they wanted but not the civilians.
Therefore, the appearance of the Silver Revolutionary Army did not surprise Han Xiao at all. However, it was still too early to talk about this.
"Black Star, your holiday is over. We need your strength. Every bit of territory that we can take back is worth it," Ralph said with a serious expression.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and suddenly made a decision. He smiled and said, "Klent's biggest reliance is the Red Empire, but I actually have a way to make the Red Empire stay out of this and not help Klent negotiate with the Radiant Federation. This way, even if the Bloodshed Land occupies the border Star Systems, it will be useless."
Ralph's eyes sparkled, and he could not wait to ask, "What method do you have?"
"I …" Han Xiao suddenly thought of something and dismissed the idea of telling the Amethyst Civilization that he was already a Beyond Grade A Super. He casually said, "In any case, it's quite feasible. I have to keep it a secret for now. Just trust me. The situation can't get any worse anyway."
It was not that Han Xiao purposely hid his strength as a Beyond Grade A Super but that he suddenly thought that if Purple Crystal knew about this, they would definitely spread the news to deter the Bloodshed Land.
This was actually a little bad for him.
His original plan was to keep a low profile after becoming a Beyond Grade A Super and continue to accumulate strength in secret. Then, when the Tyrant attacked, he would make the Tyrant underestimate his strength. However, because of the incident with the Evolution Cube, it was no longer possible to hide his strength. However, Han Xiao did not want the Tyrant to attack immediately.
He needed some time to build a new Mech Legion, a new Beyond Grade A base, and activate many of the Emperor Mechanic skills to allow his combat strength to reach its peak. Instead of letting the Amethyst Civilization spread the news, it would be better to let the information Sisko revealed slowly spread in the Star Field. This would give him more time to prepare.
There was actually another reason why he did not tell Purple Crystal — Han Xiao planned to raise the price.
If he was a normal Beyond Grade A Super, forming an alliance with a Star Cluster Civilization would be the best choice because he would receive enough attention. That was what the Tyrant had done. Although Universal Civilizations also welcomed Beyond Grade As, they would not treat them as highly as Star Cluster Civilizations. After all, the rarer something was, the more valuable it was.
However, it was different with the Evolution Cube. This Universal Treasure was unique to the Scorpion Daddy. With Sisko as an example, the Universal Civilizations would offer a higher price. This way, the Black Star Corps would rise to a whole new level.
Because of the Flickering World, Han Xiao had already decided that the Red Empire was the most suitable ally.
With his status with the Evolution Cube, after becoming an ally of the Red Empire, he would be able to solve the secret war from the root, causing the plan that Klent had been planning for ten years to fail.
According to the normal method, the Grade S Main Storyline of the secret war should end in failure. Although he could still receive rewards due to the special nature of the mission, the mission rating would be lowered, and the players of the Black Star Corps would not receive the best rewards.
Considering that he had to maintain the trust of the players in the Black Star Corps, joining the Red Empire was the best choice.
Ralph wanted to ask more, but Han Xiao turned off the communicator and went to the cockpit.
Aurora sat in the driver's seat, turned around, and asked, "Where are we going now?"
Han Xiao smirked.
"Back to the army!"
…
A few days later, Sardeem, who had disappeared for a while, finally returned to Planet Macipher. At the same time, he brought back a shocking piece of news. He claimed that he had seen with his own eyes that the Beyond Grade A seed Black Star, who had the nickname 'Indestructible Body', had officially become a Beyond Grade A Super.
This news quickly spread throughout Planet Macipher, but most of the travelers on the planet remained skeptical.
Black Star had become the fifth Beyond Grade A Super in the Shattered Star Ring? Why was it so sudden? Even the Amethyst Civilization did not react. Could it be a rumor?
This news was too much like a rumor, and there was no evidence. The galactic residents who had been baptized by the explosion of information were skeptical.
However, this news was personally confirmed by Sisko, who had been a guest on Planet Macipher!
All their doubts disappeared and were replaced by unparalleled shock!
The fifth Beyond Grade A Super … was really born?
Oh my god, this is big news!!
The people of Planet Macipher who first came into contact with this news were shocked and could not wait to spread this news through their networks.
The news of the battle between Black Star and Sisko spread from Planet Macipher to the entire Star Field like a virus.
A storm that would engulf the entire Shattered Star Ring began to brew …
