Chapter 881 Whereabouts
Phillip sent out a ssage and received a reply a few seconds later.
“Master, hum... They would like to et you privately. You can decide the ti and place.”
“If that’s the case...” Han Xiao contemplated.
This matter was a little sensitive since the Federation of Light had co to find him. However, Beyond Grade A allies were not subordinates of a Universal Civilization, and he had a certain degree of freedom and rights. Even if the dynasty knew about the eting between them, it was not a big deal.
Han Xiao thought for a few seconds before saying, “Tell them that I don’t accept a private eting. I temporarily do not wish to have a ‘shared secret’ with them. Invite them over to the Black Star Army as guests. They can co if they are willing, but there isn’t a need to et them if they aren’t.”
The other party was the one who took the initiative to find him, and he did not do anything wrong. It would not be good for him to behave sneakily. Thus, he might as well invite them over to his territory openly. If not, it would seem as though he was concocting so secret plan with the Federation of Light, which would attract more misunderstandings.
The second mission of the Spaceti Amber was for him to co into contact with the descendants of Spaceti Freezer. Because the Federation of Light was protecting that race, Han Xiao had not completed the mission yet. But since the other party was taking the initiative to request a eting, Han Xiao treated it as a small surprise, and it would save him quite a bit of energy.
However, he could not seem too anxious. Since the other party had taken the initiative to et him, the rules would be set by him.
After sending out an invitation, the Federation of Light did not give a reply as though they were considering it.
Han Xiao was not too anxious. He then took out his communicator and called Tarrokov.
Tarrokov appeared, and he said with a smile, “Black Star, you have the ti to contact already?”
“Haha, chief commander, how are things recently?”
“Sigh, it’s still the sa as always. We are still eating dirt in the Flickering World. When will you co back to continue your exploration?”
“In a while.”
“Hurry up then. The first exploration phase will end in a few years, and we will enter the construction phase. We will only start off our second exploration after digesting the territories of the three Star Clusters.”
Han Xiao then chatted casually with the other party for a while before saying with a serious expression, “I haven’t contacted the outside world during this period, and the negotiations should have been going on for a few months already. Has the dynasty reached an agreent with the Arcane Church?”
“There shouldn’t be any problem.” Tarrokov nodded. “Although both parties look like they are in conflict on the surface, they have already co to an agreent in private. The only thing that is left are the details of the agreent. The Arcane Church paid a heavy price in order to ransom their experts, but the exact figure is confidential. I can only say that the other party made huge concessions in military, economic, and political affairs. They also released so of their technological skills. In any case, the dynasty promised the Arcane Church to release three Beyond Grade As—Dylan, Taylor, and rcer. Only Sagman is still in our hands as a bargaining chip.”
Han Xiao nodded.
The foundation of a civilization was their people, and the conflicts between the civilizations were usually because of status and resources. Compared to the long history of a civilization, every Beyond Grade A was no more than a shooting star in a part of their history. Returning three Beyond Grade A captives in exchange for resources was a trade that the dynasty was extrely willing to do. At the sa ti, it could be said that the three Universal Civilizations were on the sa tide. Despite having their own conflicts, it was impossible for any party to wipe out the others. Apart from their conflicts, it was also important for them to suppress the civilizations beneath them and maintain order.
“Right, how did they deal with the Spaceti Amber?” Han Xiao asked.
As the Arcane Church researched the Spaceti Amber, the na of the Spaceti Amber had spread throughout the universe, and every large organization was now aware of it. The two Universal Treasures in Black Star’s hands were the Evolution Cube and Spaceti Amber. As such, Black Star had a special status in the universe.
“The Arcane Church isn’t able to break the seal and wants to invite the dynasty to help them. The dynasty dragged the matter on and didn’t contact you, so you are still unaware about it.”
“Does the dynasty plan to agree to it?”
“Hmm, the Arcane Church is willing to pay the price, and the dynasty is going to ask you to unseal one of the captives. They also want you to make a trip to the Central Galaxy.”
“Alright.” Han Xiao nodded. The players now had the Gulal Civilization and Flickering World, so they were having the ti of their lives. He would not need to interfere with the players until the end of Version 3.0, so he would be free.
Furthermore, he was also prepared to head to the Central Galaxy and find so helpers to deal with EsGod.
“I would like to ask, has the dynasty found EsGod yet?”
“We have found so clues. So eyewitnesses claim to have seen the Fallen Ark at the Prival Star River. The wormhole cluster in the Shattered Star Ring should have sent them there.”
“As long as their whereabouts are known,” Han Xiao said. “The Arcane Church has already given in, and the dynasty can only channel so manpower to deal with the accomplice EsGod.”
Tarrokov observed Han Xiao’s appearance and said with a smile, “I feel as though you are extrely determined to kill EsGod.”
“That’s right. He had been eyeing up the Evolution Cube for such a long ti and almost took my life. Can I not hate him?” Han Xiao shrugged.
“This isn’t the sa.” Tarrokov shook his head but did not continue.
It was not only because of the Evolution Cube. He felt that Han Xiao’s enmity toward EsGod had a sense of urgency within it, as though EsGod posed a huge threat to him.
“In any case, the upper echelons have already sent out their forces to attack the Fallen Ark. EsGod isn’t in his main camp. The dynasty plans to send manpower to kill him, and you are also on the list. Even if you don’t ask, the upper echelons will find you regarding this matter.”
“Alright, I will be there. I can participate in this mission during my trip to the Central Galaxy.”
Han Xiao then chatted casually for a while more before hanging up.
As the final boss of the evil faction, EsGod had been able to avoid death.
The three Universal Civilizations had tried to deal with him many tis before but were unable to kill him. It might be possible that the dynasty only treated killing EsGod as putting up a show.
He was probably the only one who resolutely wanted to kill EsGod.
I hope that history doesn’t repeat itself, Han Xiao thought to himself.
If he could wipe out EsGod this ti, he would be able to resolve the threat of the World Tree entering early.
It was not that Han Xiao did not have any confidence in the three Universal Civilizations. In his previous life, the three Universal Civilizations won a pyrrhic victory, so they might not be able to erge victorious at the mont.
A few ferocious characters from the later versions had not grown up fully yet.
Especially the players.
Ding!
Right at this mont, Phillip received the reply from the Federation of Light indicating that they would accept his invitation.
...
On the other side, in the Federation of Light’s Shattered Star Ring stronghold, Mona placed down his communicator. He was the emissary in charge of contacting Han Xiao this ti and also a descendant of Spaceti Freezer. His skin was light blue with diamond-like crystals growing on it.
“Black Star has agreed to et us,” Mona reported to the upper echelons.
“Alright, rember your mission. First, you must probe Black Star’s attitude. Second, you need to investigate the origins of the Spaceti Amber. If the probing isn’t ideal, do not ntion the trade. Also, do not make any unnecessary moves.”
Mona nodded solemnly.
The Federation of Light wanted the seal on the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter to be undone, but Black Star was an ally of the dynasty. Thus, it was unlikely for him to help them. Without sufficient benefits, Black Star would not risk offending the dynasty to help them undo the seal.
Black Star was able to get most resources from the dynasty, and there was no need to make a deal with them. Thus, the Federation of Light can only probe to see if Black Star had any special requirents.
Even if the hope was slim, the Federation of Light would have to give it a try. Bader truly could not bear to just stare at a useless Ten Thousand Deity Scepter.
Since they had already offended the Arcane Church, they could not walk out without any benefits.
“I will not make any rash moves, but His Excellency Manison...” Mona then turned to look at a chanical host beside him.
This was Manison’s Lord’s Descent host that was not activated yet. Manison’s consciousness had not descended on it, and it was being controlled by AI from afar.
Upon hearing those words, Manison appeared through a long-distance projection.
“You don’t need to bother about . I will be paying Black Star a visit in a personal capacity and not interfere with your affairs.”
Mona could only nod as he heard that. At his level, he did not have the right to control Manison.
Manison shook his head with a strange look on his face.
In truth, Manison had been looking forward to eting Han Xiao for a long ti. He paid close attention to all the Beyond Grade A chanics.
Black Star’s na had resounded throughout the Beyond Grade A ranks in the universe, and he had long wanted to test Black Star’s strength.
Only then would he know the price he had to pay for the Spaceti Amber.
