The red energy that filled the sky quickly returned to Hella's body, and the red light in her eyes gradually disappeared. Her aura had completely changed.
After training outside for about twenty years, Hella had finally taken this step. In her previous life, she had become a Beyond Grade A even earlier than this, and she already possessed such potential.
After transforming into a Beyond Grade A species, Hella's appearance became even more exquisite. Her skin was clean and flawless, and her genes were greatly improved.
Although her growth speed could not be compared to that of Black Star, Ames was still amazed by Hella's talent. Compared to the hundred years it would take to transform into a Beyond Grade A species, Hella's special Grade S Esper Ability had greatly shortened this process.
"How do you feel?"
Ames sized up Hella, her eyes filled with appreciation, as though she was looking at a piece of art.
"Very magical." Hella felt the changes and pondered. "So, this is the world in the eyes of a Beyond Grade A Super. Everything is different now."
"Hehe, take your time to appreciate it. We have plenty of time." Ames chuckled.
Hella exhaled, and a look of excitement flashed through her eyes.
The current me should be able to catch up to Black Star's footsteps.
I can … go home.
Ames controlled the force field, took out a communicator, and handed it to Hella. She smiled and said, "Do you want to share this good news with him?"
Hella took the communicator, hesitated for a few seconds, and shook her head.
"No, wait for me to go back personally and give him a surprise."
…
Constellation Corridor, Planet Crimson Ring.
A disc-shaped spaceship passed through the Psionic Seal Ring and slowly headed toward the dynasty's mother planet. In the cabin, a tall figure stood in front of the porthole, silently looking at Planet Crimson Ring.
This person's entire body was bright silver, and his skin was like flowing liquid metal. There was only a pair of metallic eyes on his face, and the rest of his body was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the galaxy outside the window. He was not wearing any clothes, and there were no signs of sex on his body.
He was a new Beyond Grade A born five years ago, and he was once a Beyond Grade A seed in the Sea of Star Spirits. A hundred years ago, he used a special method to lock himself in the core of a dying star and underwent a near-death trial. A hundred years later, he broke out of his cocoon and completed his species transformation. What was born from the core was already a new life.
He gave up his name and called himself 'Silver Shadow', establishing his own Beyond Grade A organization in the Sea of Star Spirits. Over the past few years, he had done many things and developed rapidly. Soon, he had a place in the Sea of Star Spirits.
Now that Silver Shadow had agreed to the Crimson Dynasty's invitation to join the dynasty, he had come to Planet Crimson Ring to meet the Ruler and the dynasty's Beyond Grade A circle.
At this time, a cadre came behind him and whispered, "Your Excellency Silver Shadow, we'll be landing soon."
"Hmm." Yin Ying's voice reverberated like metal vibrations. His tone was cold and emotionless.
The officer hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Excellency Yin Ying, why do we want to join the dynasty?"
"You're doubting my decision?" Yin Ying did not even turn his head.
"I wouldn't dare."
The officer hurriedly denied. He had only joined Yin Ying for a short period of time and did not dare offend him. "I just feel that the Radiant Federation and the Arcane Church offered better terms."
Yin Ying did not deny it. "With the development of the Flickering World, the dynasty has the upper hand, causing the Radiance and Ethereal to offer a higher price. It's not because they value me. However, the forces in the Sea of Star Spirits are close to saturation, and only the Flickering World can give me enough room to develop. Choosing the dynasty is more suitable for me. However, this is not the main reason I joined. "
"Then, what is it for?"
"The Evolution Cube … and Black Star." Yin Ying paused. "If not for the fact that Black Star, who has the Evolution Cube, is in the dynasty, I might not have joined."
"That's right. The dynasty said that they've gathered some Beyond Grade As to meet you. I wonder if Black Star will be there. If he's there, you can make a request to him," the officer said.
"Heh, as far as I know, those veteran Beyond Grade As rarely appear in such a ceremony. The most likely to see them is Uranril's guard, Dark Emperor, Clottey. I don't know if Black Star will be there …" Yin Ying said calmly. "However, if he's here, I can spar with him."
"You want to spar with Black Star?" The officer was shocked. "He was already a peak Beyond Grade A more than ten years ago and is one of the Mechanical Deities. Although he hasn't done much in the past few years, but … but …"
"I know what you mean. There's no need to say more. The Beyond Grade A circle of the three Universal Civilizations has always had a habit of making things difficult for newcomers. If you want to have the right to speak, you have to speak with your strength. Since we're destined to fight, why don't we find someone stronger?"
Silver Shadow turned around and said coldly, "That's right.
"Dark Emperor, Dragon King, and Illusion God. The three veteran Beyond Grade As of the Red Empire have the highest status, and the one ranked behind them is Black Star, who only became a Beyond Grade A twenty or thirty years ago. He has a ninety-nine percent chance of taking over the top three positions. He'll be the pillar of the dynasty in the future and hold the greatest right to speak. Even I have to listen to him. In just twenty years, Black Star has grown to such a level. I'm very interested in him and want to ride on top of me. I have to see if he's as strong as the rumors say. "
Very soon, the spaceship slowly landed in the political core area of Planet Crimson Ring, Tarunamir Palace. Yin Ying led his officers out of the spaceship, followed the receptionist, and walked through the door.
Boom!
At this moment, a strong Beyond Grade A aura erupted from afar, crushing toward him. Clearly, this was a routine show of strength.
Yin Ying did not back down. His unique Beyond Grade A aura rose, and he forcefully fought back.
Boom boom boom!
Invisible shockwaves seemed to appear in midair.
Sensing his attitude, these Beyond Grade A auras retreated like the tide.
"Let's go see the Ruler first." Silver Shadow glanced coldly in the direction of the eruption of momentum, then followed the receptionist with a faint smile to another direction.
At the same time, in a certain room far away, many of the dynasty's Beyond Grade A allies were waiting.
"The newcomers these days are really arrogant. None of them are willing to admit defeat," Beyoni lamented.
"That's right. Back then, I … cough cough." Viru coughed embarrassedly and secretly glanced at Han Xiao's Lord's Avatar, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Han Xiao chuckled and teased, "Back then, you couldn't even beat a newcomer like me."
"That's different. You're a special existence who broke the historical record. You're already a peak Beyond Grade A now. Losing to you back then … shouldn't be embarrassing, right?" Viru laughed dryly to hide his awkwardness.
"No, it's embarrassing," Lotus Swordsman coldly added.
Everyone present laughed, and the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Over the years, Han Xiao had built a deeper relationship with most of the dynasty's Beyond Grade A allies. Due to his strength and Legendary Points, he had a greater say in this circle. His position was only below the Dark Emperor, the Dragon King, and the Illusion God. He had already risen from a newcomer to a veteran.
Currently, among the dynasty's Beyond Grade A allies, only the stubborn Ty-Ty did not listen to him. The others were all in awe of him.
There were nine Beyond Grade As present today. Neither the old dragon nor Kant were present, which was even more than Han Xiao's last time.
The last newcomer to experience this was Han Xiao himself. When he saw Yin Ying, he felt like he was looking at himself from back then.
He was not interested in bullying the newcomers with this group of Beyond Grade As, so he was not included in the group. He chose to meet Yin Ying mainly because he recalled his experience in his previous life and was interested in this person.
If he remembered correctly, Yin Ying was a special Beyond Grade A. He had mutated during the Species Transformation process and refined himself into an existence similar to a Universal Treasure. However, at this time, this hidden attribute should not have been awakened.
In the later versions of his previous life, Yin Ying had a resounding nickname among the players — 'Beyond Grade A Bus'!
According to incomplete statistics, during the World Tree War, there were no less than twenty Beyond Grade As who had used Yin Ying.
The one who had used him the most was that late-bloomer Carrott, who had the elegant nickname of 'Private Bus – Carrott'.
Although Han Xiao wanted to turn the bus into a private car, this idea was a little unrealistic. Thus, he mainly wanted to interact with the other party first.
This time, Ravenlaude looked around and asked, "We might have to spar later. Which one of you wants to go?"
"I'm not interested," Lotus Swordsman coldly rejected.
"Don't look for me." Beyoni waved his hand. "You know I'm not good at one-on-one battles."
"I …" Viru hesitated. Because of the lesson Han Xiao had taught him, he was not interested in such things anymore. He shook his head and said, "I'm not going either."
"Black Star, are you interested?" Maximiler looked over.
"I don't want to fight unnecessary battles." Han Xiao waved his hand. He did not want to bully a newcomer who was worth befriending.
Furthermore, Planet Crimson Ring was the dynasty's capital. He did not have many mechanical troops here, so he would have to repair them.
"If none of you want to go, I'll do it," Kohler said helplessly.
Everyone immediately raised their eyebrows, their faces full of suspicion.
Kohler was publicly known to be the weakest. He was not even as good as Beyoni.
"I'm a Pugilist who's good at one-on-one battles. Why are you looking at me like that?" Kohler was furious.
"I'm afraid you'll embarrass yourself," Lotus Swordsman said.
While everyone was teasing Kohler, Han Xiao moved to Beyoni's side and asked softly, "How have you been?"
"How else?" Beyoni said with an annoyed tone. "It's all thanks to you. The Modo Civilization has been suppressing my race every day. Last time, they even fired a round of long-range interstellar missiles at my Fire Core Land. Are you going to compensate me?"
"No. You'll have to look for the dynasty. It was the dynasty who told me to do this." Han Xiao coughed.
In the past few years, Lothaire had been causing trouble in the Modo Civilization, assassinating one target after another. He had angered the Modo Civilization countless times.
Modo vented all their anger on their dynasty ally, Beyoni, who was also in the Primeval Star River. They had been suppressed for the past few years.
Although Lothaire was cautious and reliable, it was not as if he did not encounter any danger. Although luck played a part in his growth, it was not as exaggerated as Fu Ding and Nero. He relied more on his own abilities to turn danger into safety.
His Assassin Association had also developed quite well. They had trained a group of galactic assassins. On the surface, it was a black market bounty assassin organization, but in reality, it was a 'Shadow Walker' that directly belonged to Han Xiao.
After chatting for a while, Yin Ying's aura suddenly approached from afar. Everyone knew that Yin Ying had finished talking with the Ruler and was coming over. They immediately stopped smiling and tensed up.
Swoosh.
The door opened, and two people walked in. One was the expressionless Clottey. He walked straight to Han Xiao and sat down.
The other was Yin Ying. He stood in the middle of the room, looked around, and observed all the Beyond Grade As present. Finally, his eyes locked onto Han Xiao's Lord's Avatar.
"You're Yin Ying from the Sea of Star Spirits?" Viru was the first to speak. "You don't seem to respect us very much."
Yin Ying said calmly, "Why should we respect you?"
"Quite arrogant. Unfortunately, this is the Red Empire. The empire does not allow such an overbearing person to exist," Kohler said with a cold smile.
As soon as he said that, Han Xiao could not help but look at him.
Why did the format of this sentence sound so familiar …
Yin Ying looked at Kohler, remained silent for a while, and asked, "Is there someone like you in the dynasty? I've never heard of you."
Kohler's eyes turned cold. He was just putting on an act, but now that he was exposed, he was really unhappy.
"In the circle of Beyond Grade As, status and right to speak are all earned with strength. I'm sure you understand this rule." Kohler put his arms on his knees and leaned forward. "You've joined the dynasty and passed the Ruler's test, but you haven't passed our test. How about it? Do you dare spar with me?"
"You? Forget it, you're not my match. "
Yin Ying's tone was calm, as if he was just stating a fact.
Without waiting for Kohler to continue, he turned to look at Han Xiao and slowly said, "If you want to spar, you have to choose the stronger one. Black Star, do you have the guts to spar with me?"
Han Xiao was stunned.
Why did it suddenly involve me?
I'm just here to be a bystander.
Everyone's eyes sparkled, and their interest was immediately piqued.
As soon as they stepped into the Beyond Grade A realm, they would feel that their strength was boundless and directly challenge those at the peak. There would occasionally be one or two new Beyond Grade As like this, so no one felt that Yin Ying's behavior was strange.
It was normal for a newborn calf to have a sharp spirit. Daring to challenge someone stronger was also a good quality.
Han Xiao was about to reject when he suddenly noticed a notification on the interface. He immediately swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Looking at the notification, he could not help but exclaim in his heart.
Yin Ying taking the initiative to challenge directly triggered a Beyond Grade A challenge mission, just like Heber and Manison's missions. The experience reward was rich, and he could even draw an ability from the other party.
After years of research, Han Xiao already had a good understanding of the triggering mechanism of such missions. If a Beyond Grade A took the initiative to challenge him, the chances of a mission appearing were extremely high. Although there were only a few people in the audience, they were all big shots in the universe and had enough influence.
This newcomer is too generous, giving me an ability right away … Han Xiao could not help but shake his head.
"Alright, there's no need to provoke me. I'll agree."
Yin Ying nodded and suddenly said, "Just sparring is boring. Let's bet on something."
Han Xiao was curious. "What do you want to bet on?"
"I want to borrow the Evolution Cube. If I have the upper hand or even win, please fulfill your promise. If I lose, I'll agree to a request that doesn't cross your bottom line. "
"Sure, it's a piece of cake." Han Xiao nodded. He would not lose out anyway.
This time, Clottey, who was watching coldly, said, "Fight outside the Psionic Seal Ring. Don't fight near the mother planet."
Hearing this, Han Xiaoxin's expression suddenly became a little strange.
You said the same thing last time, didn't you? You're here to be the judge, right?
…
In the Ruler's office in Tarunamir Palace, Uranril stood by the window and looked up at the spaceship carrying a group of Beyond Grade As taking off and disappearing into the horizon.
"Ruler, Black Star and the others have left?"
There were a few upper echelons in the room. They were all officials who had been advocating for the Evolution Cube to be handed over. Among them were the hardliner Bekorodi and Ludwell, who had indirectly received help from Han Xiao.
Uranril turned around and said, "Hmm, Clottey said that they went outside the Psionic Seal Ring to spar."
"Then …" Bekorodi pondered for a while and said, "Your Excellency, what do you think of this plan?"
Uranril frowned. "Gaud's ability is indeed the first in history, but even our technology can't do it. Are you sure he has the confidence?"
"Not yet." Bekorodi shook his head. "He told me that only when he reaches Beyond Grade A will his Esper Ability be able to analyze the principles of Evolution Energy. You know that Espers have always been the creators of miracles. Many special technologies have been brought by Espers. "
"Beyond Grade A …" Uranril shook her head. "Does he think he can definitely reach that level? Even if he can, how long will it take? "
"I'm not sure. We can only wait."
Hearing this, Uranril could not help but fall silent.
Seeing this, Bekorodi could not help but continue persuading her. "Your Excellency, this is a good opportunity. Black Star has proven over the years that the chances of the dynasty obtaining the Evolution Cube from him are very slim. We can't use force against him. However, if we analyze the Evolution Energy ourselves, simulate it, and replicate it, even Black Star won't have anything to say. This won't be offending him, and even if he's unhappy about it, it won't be reasonable. There's no rule that says we can't research the Evolution Energy. This is a technological advancement, and he has no right to tell us what to do! "
"I know." Uranril frowned. "However, Gaud's request is that he can only come into contact with the Evolution Cube itself. If something abnormal happens and Black Star discovers it, he might become enemies with Black Star."
"This is a small risk, but we're not trying to steal his cube, so it's not that serious. Furthermore, Gaud is now an important nurturing target of our dynasty, and it's Black Star's duty to provide him with an Evolution Slot in the future. "
Uranril was a little hesitant. The Evolution Cube belonged to Black Star, and the dynasty could not steal it. However, if they researched it themselves, it would be different.
From a personal point of view, Uranril did not have any opinions about Black Star and liked him a lot.
However, as the ruler, she had to consider the problem from the dynasty's standpoint. The benefits of the Evolutionary Totem were too great, and it had to be recharged every ten to twenty years. Letting an outsider monopolize it would not be safe.
"Doing this might not be to steal Black Star's benefits but to prevent Black Star from losing the Evolution Cube one day. Therefore, it's best for the dynasty to research the mystery of the Evolution Cube as a backup." Bekorodi struck while the iron was hot.
"What he said makes sense," Ludwell agreed.
Speaking of which, Ludwell owed Han Xiao a favor in the past. However, in the past few years, he had advocated investing in the Shattered Star Ring and suppressed the Limitless Financial Group, so he had returned quite a few favors.
Not opposing Bekorodi today and even supporting this plan was not because Ludwell had any opinions about Han Xiao but because he had to do his job. The way he saw it, the feasibility of this plan was indeed very high.
Uranril pondered for a while, exhaled, and slowly said, "Bekorodi, Bekorodi, come back.
"Bekorodi, Black Star will be back in a while. Use your name to invite him to discuss matters. Raise the conditions to him one last time and ask if he is willing to exchange the Evolution Cube for other things."
"If he still refuses, we'll make this plan official. Remember, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Especially don't tell Black Star. If he knows about this beforehand, he'll definitely try to stop it. Everything will have to wait until the dust settles."
Hearing this, joy flashed in the eyes of Bekorodi and the others, and they nodded.
"Understood."
