The guest houses in Tarunamir Palace were all single-family villas.
Han Xiao and the others followed the receptionist into one of the villas, which was their temporary residence.
After settling down, Han Xiao locked himself in his room and thought about what to do the next day.
"Tomorrow, I'll be meeting with the dynasty's leader and those Beyond Grade As. What will the dynasty's leader talk to me about? Hmm, other than welcoming me as a formality, he might also ask me to use the Evolution Cube here on a large scale, invite me to participate in some activities, and announce that the dynasty has a new bargaining chip before pushing me onto the stage …
"As for those Beyond Grade As, they'll accept me into their circle. We're all allies and stand on the same side, helping each other …"
He knew the list of the dynasty's Beyond Grade A members, and he also knew the personalities and preferences of some of them. However, he did not know who these seven people were.
"Many of the Beyond Grade As of Universal Civilizations are veterans who have lived for many years. They have a lot of talents, skills, and energy …" Han Xiao pondered.
He felt that the meeting with the Beyond Grade As tomorrow would most likely not be so easy. It would not be a simple meeting.
Beyond Grade As were all individuals who had great strength. Strength was the foundation of their footing. A newcomer who squeezed into their circle would most likely be tested. Even if the weak were accepted into the circle, they would still be marginalized. Only the strong would have more right to speak.
The dynasty's Beyond Grade A allies were also led by the three strongest individuals. Han Xiao did not know how many of them came this time.
"Although my combat strength is not bad, it's only barely past the threshold of Beyond Grade A. Some of my attributes are still not high enough. I've already practiced half of the Heber Stellar Furnace Training Technique, which gave me nearly ten thousand energy points … My machinery aspect is much more complete though …"
During this time, other than dealing with the affairs of the army, Han Xiao also spent a lot of his free time building machinery and stocking up.
The Cutting-Edge Knowledges had long been completed. Through these technologies, Han Xiao had integrated many new machinery blueprints. Other than increasing the size of his Mechanical Army, he had also built some high-level machinery with various functions, using the Mechanic method to steadily increase his strength.
Han Xiao's eyes suddenly flashed.
"Since I understand some of the information of these Beyond Grade As … maybe I can make the first move tomorrow?"
…
After sleeping for a night, an envoy from the empire came to visit early the next morning.
Hella opened the door and saw the emissary standing outside with a respectful expression.
"Hello, the Empire Ruler wishes to meet with His Excellency Black Star."
"Let's go." Han Xiao walked out of the room and nodded.
Hella and the others wanted to follow, but Han Xiao waved his hand, indicating for the Black Star Guards to stay. Seeing this, the emissary who wanted to dissuade them swallowed his words back into his stomach.
The airspace above Tarunamir Palace was a no-fly zone. The two of them boarded the land hovering vehicle that had been waiting for them at the entrance and headed straight to the city center.
At the center of the city was the highest level office area in the empire. There was a huge and magnificent palace, which was also the main body of the Tarunamir Palace.
The closer they got to the center, the tighter the security became. There were sentries everywhere, and all kinds of mechanical detection equipment covered this area. Teams of elite Supers patrolled the area at all times. With just a glance, Han Xiao could sense the auras of no less than ten Calamity Grade Supers, and this was only one of the directions. The security of the capital city was extremely strong.
Not only did the Universal Civilizations control the Central Galaxy, but they also had a certain degree of control over the other Star Fields. They were rich in human resources, and there were all kinds of advanced Super Academies to nurture talents. The ratio of Calamity Grade Supers was the highest in the entire galaxy. With these two factors, the Universal Civilizations had countless experts under them.
The vehicle stopped outside the palace, and Han Xiao followed the emissary in. After passing through many checkpoints, they took the internal hovering elevator all the way to the top floor. This floor was the office area of the dynasty's leaders.
After passing through the sentry and secretary area, the emissary pushed open a door and gestured for Han Xiao to enter.
Han Xiao nodded at him and walked in. The layout of the room entered his eyes.
This was a spacious office with a rectangular structure. The walls were reddish-brown, and there were floor-to-ceiling windows on every side.
The floor was covered with a red carpet, and there were green potted plants in the corner. They seemed to have been carefully taken care of, giving off a calming fragrance. Two rows of bookshelves were pressed against the wall, and on the other side was a small round white stone table and a red sofa used for receiving guests. There was no furniture on the floor in the middle of the room, and there was a huge chandelier above. Further back, there was an office desk, and a figure was sitting behind the desk, and beside him stood a second person with his hands clasped behind his back.
Han Xiao recognized the dynasty's leader at a glance.
Her long white hair was tied up, and she had a pair of serious eyes. Her dignified aura made people forget whether she was beautiful or not.
Uranril Sin Rebate, the ruler of the Red Empire!
That's right, the current dynasty's leader was a woman!
The Red Empire prided itself on iron and blood. It respected the strong, regardless of gender.
The succession of the dynasty's leaders was based on a nurturing system, and it had nothing to do with blood relations. During the term of the previous leader, the next generation of candidates would be groomed. There was more than one quota for grooming candidates, and they were the absolute elites chosen by the higher-ups and various factions.
Bang.
The emissary closed the door from outside.
"Black Star, I am the Red Empire's ruler, Uranril. Please sit." Uranril stood up and spoke calmly. She walked over and extended her hand.
The man behind her followed closely, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Han Xiao. It seemed that no movement could escape his eyes.
"Hello." Han Xiao shook hands with her, and they sat opposite each other on the sofa. The man behind Uranril was still standing behind her.
"This is Clottey, the leader of the Empire's personal guards." Uranril introduced the man behind her.
Clotti was expressionless as he nodded in greeting.
Han Xiao's expression did not change, but his mind was very active.
In his previous life, the leaders of the Universal Civilizations had changed many times during the versions. Uranril had been the Red Empire's ruler during one of the versions. During her term, the achievement that the players were most familiar with was the development of the Flickering World, opening up a new Star Field for the dynasty.
The players in his previous life knew very little about this ruler of the dynasty. In her version, the players were mainly active in the Flickering World and their own Star Fields. They did not have much contact with the upper echelons of the Universal Civilizations. To them, the leader of a Universal Civilization was just a few lines in the background introduction.
And now, Urranrell had appeared before him alive. This woman was one of the three people with the greatest authority in the universe. She could even be said to be the ruler of the universe. The meaning she represented had completely covered her beauty, ugliness, and gender.
Clottey behind her was her bodyguard, a veteran Beyond Grade A nurtured by the dynasty. He was an Esper, and his ability was to control dark energy and dark matter. His nicknames were 'Dark Emperor', 'Ruler of Dark Matter', 'Lightless Light', 'Celestial Distorter', and so on.
This person was one of the three strongest Beyond Grade As in the dynasty!
"First of all, on behalf of the Red Empire, I welcome you to join us." Uranril went straight to the point, staring into Han Xiao's eyes.
"It's my honor," Han Xiao said politely.
Uranril slowly said, "Regarding the initial exploration of the Flickering World, the dynasty needs the strength of you and Heber. According to our cooperation agreement, other than the support of the dynasty's resources, after the mission is completed, you will be given a territory in the Flickering World and have the right to develop on your own …"
Han Xiao nodded. "I understand."
"You're an ally of the dynasty. As long as you contribute to the dynasty, the dynasty will not be stingy with resources. The more responsibilities you're willing to take on, the more resources the dynasty will give you. Sometimes, the dynasty may issue a call to dispatch Beyond Grade A combatants, including you, to carry out certain missions. Of course, if you encounter some problems, you can also apply for the support of the dynasty's Beyond Grade A combatants. Remember, you're the pillar of the dynasty, and the dynasty will also support you. "
Uranril's tone was serious.
Hearing this, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and was quite satisfied. Duty and power came hand in hand. He had joined the Red Empire and become their super combatant. At the same time, he also had a strong backing. The many Beyond Grade A allies were not only the dynasty's resources, but he also had the right to borrow them. As the saying went, a cloud piercing arrow could summon thousands of troops.
"As for the Evolution Cube in your hands, you can rest assured. We welcome you to hand it over, but even if you're unwilling, the dynasty will not snatch it from you. However, I have a request. The dynasty will not object to you using the Evolution Cube to contact other organizations, but the number of people the dynasty can modify is unlimited. We can send people to the Black Star Corps to be modified at any time. "
"Of course, that's not a problem." Han Xiao nodded. He had limited the number of people the other civilizations could use, but naturally, he would not limit his biggest ally, the Red Empire.
Furthermore, the Red Empire had too many people, so they would not make such an excessive request. Even if they had the Evolution Cube, they would not do so.
"Since you've come to the dynasty's mother planet, just as well. You can stay here for a few days and modify the troops on our mother planet," Uranril said.
As expected, this is one of the important reasons you called me over … Han Xiaoxin was moved.
Compared to sending elites to the Shattered Star Ring to be modified, it was obviously more convenient to call him over to the Red Empire.
