Milestone activated successfully!

Watching the last Void Duke get turned into a patty by the chanical Deity, Han Xiao finally heard the soothing notification sound from the interface.
In the past ten days or so, he had been taking As around to look for other Void Dukes for partnerships. He had been active in the various edge areas of the Void Dinsion.
Since not everyone wanted to hire outsiders, the two of them wasted so ti in between. However, overall, the mission was completed quite efficiently. As long as a partnership was agreed upon, Han Xiao would easily be able to wipe out the hostile Void Duke’s forces.
“It’s finally completed.”
Han Xiao deactivated the chanical Deity and opened the interface to look at the reward.
The bonus from [Void Conqueror] was already in effect. His various void-related talents were all slightly enhanced. He received 1,600 Free Attribute Points and one God’s Trait Transformation Point, as well as 20 starting Favorability with all void creatures. He also received a Legendary Point [Void Celebrity]. Its introduction was that the na ‘Black Star’ was now well known between the void creatures.
As usual, he stocked the Free Attribute Points up, of which he now had close to 4,000. As for the God’s Trait Transformation Point, Han Xiao continued on the path of maxing one path first, so he used it on [God’s Trait Transformation—Machinery] and unlocked the level four bonuses.

“Not bad.” Han Xiao scanned through it.
The class abilities of the Apostle and Emperor stages were very crucial, so enhancing them was quite useful. According to the current trend, Han Xiao estimated that the next level would most likely enhance the abilities of the Lord and Throne chanic stages, which were even more crucial.
Overall, the bonuses of this level were mainly focused on enhancing his ability to innovate. After all, Han Xiao had no channeling bars like the players. At his level, innovating new blueprints from his class knowledges was common, sa with improving the base quality of blueprints. The blueprints he used often nowadays were all enhanced and improved versions.
What Han Xiao was more concerned about was the unique talent. It seed like those old n like Manison and Sorokin all had their own unique talents. Since the players did not have this in his previous life, Han Xiao had no idea about how to acquire them, nor did the interface give any tips. Therefore, he could only figure it out himself.
As for the enhancents of the sub-branches, they enhanced Han Xiao’s Ard and Energy Branch abilities, basically almost all the chanic abilities not belonging to the Virtual Branch.
Han Xiao was still looking at the interface when his current Void Duke partner finished consuming the enemy’s core and ca to beside him.
“Black Star, a Void Lord under the command of His Excellency Kasuyi wants to see you.”
“Finally, I knew he wouldn’t ignore my actions.”
Han Xiao had expected this, so he was not surprised. Following the Void Duke’s arrangents, he t with the Void Lord.
The Void Lord’s body was enormous and seemingly extended from the ground right into the clouds. Its body’s color was deeper than even the Void Duke.
As soon as he saw Han Xiao, he felt close to him for so reason he could not explain. Sohow, Han Xiao looked very easy to befriend.
Despite the rather good first impression this Void Lord had of Han Xiao, it did not affect his attitude when carrying out the mission for Kasuyi. He directly said, “Black Star, we’ve noticed your recent frequent battles in the Void Dinsion. Are you planning to rule the Void Dukes and build your forces here?”
“Don’t worry. Tell Kasuyi that I’m just signing contracts with so rcenaries and have no plans of building a force. In fact, I’ve almost achieved my goal, and I’m planning to leave the Void Dinsion in just a day or two.”
Han Xiao knew what Kasuyi was worried about, so he expressed that he was not there to fight for territory.
“That’s best. As long as you don’t interfere too much with the internal matters of the Void Dinsion, we will always welco you. Do co to us if you need anything.”
The Void Lord was quite well mannered. As a subordinate of Kasuyi, he had so basic knowledge of the powerful people in the main universe. He knew that Black Star was not soone he could ss with.
“Sure, we might have the chance to do business in the future,” Han Xiao said casually.
Kasuyi’s territory had a stable production line that produced all kinds of void specialties. It was quite a good business. If he had any needs, he would not mind working with him.
This ti, the Void Lord took out a tube that was filled with a light blue liquid that was giving off a dim light and said, “This is master Kasuyi’s special present for you. It’s liquid-form Void Essence extracted for the core of the dinsion. It’ll help in enhancing your void bloodline.”
Han Xiao raised his brows, accepted the tube, and said with a smile, “Thank Kasuyi for .”
Clearly, this was ant as a farewell gift to tell him not to stay too long in his house. Anyway, Han Xiao never planned to, so he had no problem with it.
After a successful exchange, the Void Lord left satisfied. Han Xiao kept the tube too, which would most likely increase the attributes he would gain during the next Race Evolution.
“Finally done?” This ti, As giggled.
Over the past few days, Han Xiao had been very occupied with doing the mission and did not fulfill his promise to As of traveling with her. He could not help but feel he had wronged her. Now that business was done, with a relaxed mind and mood, he waved and said, “Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to travel the secondary dinsions all you want.”
...
While the two of them traveled the secondary dinsions, the situation of the main universe kept changing.
Although the plan of forming a Beyond Grade A Alliance in the Flickering World was not publicized yet, the unusual movents of nurous peak Beyond Grade As attracted attention from many well-inford organizations.
After the initiators of the alliance gathered, they started the first eting.
Inside the round table conference room of a spaceship, the remote projections of the various initiators gathered and sat in their chairs. Most of them were peak Beyond Grade As.
At the huge round table, only one seat was empty. It was Han Xiao’s.
Manison clapped, signaling everyone to look over, and slowly said, “Black Star went to the secondary dinsions and isn’t available. We’re the only ones attending this eting today.”
“He’s the main initiator. Growing the association needs the Black Star Army’s help too. Is it suitable to not call him for such an important eting?” Secret Master asked.
The rest agreed.
Currently, Han Xiao’s position was quite high among the Beyond Grade As. Although he did not co, no one could ignore his existence. Furthermore, with the irreplaceable importance the Black Star Army had in creating the Beyond Grade A Association, the various Beyond Grade As present all recognized his significance. Even though he was not present, they would still speak for him.
“Black Star said himself he isn’t coming.” Manison shook his hand. “He has already made his stand. He suggests everyone should focus on the agreent we had during the eting of the Gods, and once we co to a conclusion, just inform him of it.”
He would never lie about such things.
“Alright then.” The rest nodded.
“Let’s talk business,” Manison said slowly. “Since we’re decided to form the association, we’ll first have to set down the rules, regularize the positions of the association, confirm the nature of the organization and its developnt direction, and decide on the laws its mbers must follow.
Kasuyi followed up and said, “That’s right. Our core goal is to unite the strength of all Beyond Grade As, be it now or in the future. The Ancient Ones’ structure is too lenient, and its entry point is too high, so this ti, we can’t repeat their mistakes. We must have a clear set of laws and regulations.”
A peak Beyond Grade A said, “According to the proposal Black Star gave, the main use of the association is to solve conflicts between Beyond Grade As. I think that’s a good path, and it’s best we start there. For example, we can have the rule that mbers can’t easily initiate physical conflicts with other mbers except for the purpose of sparring, to maintain the image that the Beyond Grade As are united. Also, mbers shouldn’t be allowed to deliberately escalate the conflict and avoid peaceful compromises...”
Everyone started discussing their ideas one after another. The rules and regulations were being filled up very quickly.
This ti, Sorokin, who was the major investor, suddenly said, “The rules are good indeed, but the biggest problem is to make sure the Beyond Grade As are willing to follow them. As everyone knows, Beyond Grade As all have their own pride and have been enjoying tons of privileges. It won’t be easy to make them follow rules.”
“That’s right. This is a core problem,” Manison said. “Not only must we make sure the mbers accept the restrictions from the rules, we also have to make sure that even after the outsiders see these rules, they’ll also still be willing to join the association. Not everyone agreed with what we said during the eting of the Gods, so in order to prevent others from just ignoring us, as usual, it’ll all co down to the use of intimidation and benefits. We have to let the other Beyond Grade As see the price of disobeying the rules while also understanding the benefits of joining the association.
“Intimidation is easy. We seniors won’t have to do anything. We’re a form of intimidation by ourselves. Benefits, however, must be displayed through many aspects. We shall build an interest network of Beyond Grade As, unite and share our resources, and provide help to each other through many ans. As for the new mbers in the future, we can use our resources to help them to build their Beyond Grade A forces, as well as provide so guidance from the peak Beyond Grade As...
“Also, we can even include the Ultimate Knowledges of the five classes as a benefit.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
“Ultimate Knowledges? This is basically fighting with the three Universal Civilizations in the market of recruiting Beyond Grade A allies. They’ll definitely object to it to an extre extent. This isn’t a small issue.”
“Have you forgotten our initial goal so soon?” Manison said slowly. “If we can’t break the forced monopoly that the three Universal Civilizations have on the Ultimate Knowledges, even if the Beyond Grade A Association is ford successfully, it’ll still be controlled by the advanced civilizations. We’ll have no choice but to continue working for them all the sa.”
So nodded in agreent while more stayed silent. They felt that this was too big a step and too risky. Opinions were varied.
“Since you insist on doing so, the three Universal Civilizations will have a lot to say to us,” Kasuyi said with resignation.
“Therefore...” Manison looked around and finally showed his true goal. “We need a leader. He must be able to take the pressure and never compromise, and I’m the only one who is able to take on that position.”
Everyone glanced at him.
Soone started praising him and said, “Manison is strong. He has a lot of connections, a huge organization, and he’s senior. He is indeed the most suitable candidate.”
Quite a number of people there were invited by Manison, so they were going to support him from the beginning.
This ti, another peak Beyond Grade A candidate said, “Who doesn’t know what you’re planning? We’re all the initiators of the association. I think I’m more suitable than you.”
Everyone there was a Beyond Grade A. One person speaking for everyone was impossible. Even the president would only be taken more seriously when it cos to making decisions but could never truly order around these people. Most decisions would still have to be made together by the elders. However, due to the unique nature of the Beyond Grade A Association, this kind of opportunity was extrely rare.
This ti, Milizaus said slowly, “Although Black Star isn’t here, he also intends to be a candidate. The forces the Black Star Army has in the Flickering World are unquestionable. Our organization will only be truly powerful with him as the president. Furthermore, the Evolutionary Totems will soon be sold to the public. At that ti, Black Star will be much more important to the three Universal Civilizations. He’s suitable as the lubricant between two sides and will be able to trendously reduce the pressure the association will face... I vote for Black Star as the representative.”
Han Xiao did not join the eting because he wanted to let others settle the issue, but it was mainly because he was not willing to face the other candidates directly, including Manison. Since he could not compete with the others in terms of connections, all he could do was bring up the profit he could bring and let the others decide. This way, he would avoid direct conflicts with other peak Beyond Grade As. More importantly, he did not want to disrupt the Great Director Manison’s plans.
“Black Star is indeed very useful, but he’s far from experienced. I wouldn’t want a youngster to stand above my head.” Sierron snorted.
Everyone had different people they wanted to vote for, so they started arguing. Surprisingly, quite a number of people voted for Han Xiao, who was not even here.
After quite so ti, soone said, “I think that the managent structure should be balanced. The position of the president shouldn’t be permanent. They need to be re-elected regularly.”
This suggestion was agreed on by most. They only did not want to step up now, but it was certain that being the president would be beneficial once the association beca stable. Also, in terms of maintaining balance, no one wished for one person to be the president forever.
This ti, Manison looked at Kasuyi, who did not participate much in the discussion. He narrowed his eyes and said with a deep voice, “Vote for this ti. I’ll fully support you in the next election.”
Hearing this, for so reason, Kasuyi suddenly felt a chill up his spine.
Why do I feel like I’ll have to keep my Psychic shield up at all tis from now on?
