Pa pa pa—

With Han Xiao taking the lead, everyone could only suppress the shock in their hearts and temporarily follow along with the applause, a feeling of witnessing history spontaneously arising.

Their true feelings at this time were probably like eating hotpot and singing songs, only to suddenly be robbed by bandits, it was too damn "surprising"!

Seeing this, the dozens of Resurrected Ones revealed smiles and came forward to take their seats. Some of the First Generation saw Ma E'er standing dumbly in place and kindly pulled this little brother to sit down with them.

The applause gradually stopped, Han Xiao sat down again, looked at Bai Ge'er and the others, and smiled, "Everyone, would you like to introduce yourselves?"

"I don't think it's necessary," Bai Ge'er waved his hand, surveying the audience. "If you want to know who we are, just look up history."

Everyone subconsciously nodded. The First Generation were famous, and basically every Super-A Grade knew their names like the back of their hand, so there was no need to introduce them again.

At this moment, Di Erlong slightly raised his smooth, fair chin. "Although I'm not one of the First Generation, there shouldn't be anyone here who doesn't recognize me, right?"

Everyone turned to look at him. Among the Resurrected Ones, there were a few historical Super-A Grades who weren't First Generation. Compared to the others, their fame wasn't as great, and quite a few people didn't recognize Di Erlong.

"Who are you?" asked Hunter.

"Tsk, are there really people who don't recognize me?" Di Erlong glanced at him. "Little thing, listen up, I'm Di Erlong, the Elf King from history. Go home and brush up on your history knowledge, and don't ask such ignorant questions next time."

Hunter was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.

Did this guy know how to talk? How dare he call him a little thing?!

If his main body wasn't here, he would have spawned dozens of cannons in his mouth and blasted him to death!

On the other side, many mages were suddenly invigorated.

"So, it's the famous 'Elf King' from magic history. It's said that you pioneered a unique system of elven magic, which has been passed down to this day and has become the mainstream school of magic among the elves. It's a pity that some of the profound mysteries were lost forever due to your sudden death. I hope to have the opportunity to learn from you in the future."

Austin couldn't help but speak, extending goodwill. The desire of mages for all kinds of magic was like the curiosity of mechanics towards technology.

Hearing this, Di Erlong lowered his head, picked at his fingernails, and pursed his lips. "It depends on my mood. I generally don't like to communicate with mages who lack talent, but if I'm in a good mood, I might make an exception."

Austin's expression froze, and he shut up awkwardly. Other mages who wanted to make friends saw this and consciously closed their mouths, not wanting to be snubbed.

Seeing this scene, many people looked at Di Erlong with sidelong glances, suddenly understanding.

So this person spoke in such an unconventional way, no wonder he died so miserably in history, he deserved it!

Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little delicate, Bai Ge'er changed the subject and laughed. "I have to say, this association is doing pretty well. There wasn't such a good environment in our era. The person who established the association is truly a visionary and talented figure. I admire him very much."

"I think so too," Han Xiao smiled.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Han Xiao, and then at Bai Ge'er, whose expression remained unchanged.

An old fox is still an old fox, this flattery was really blatant, one dared to offer it, and the other dared to accept it.

Bai Ge'er turned his head to survey the crowd again, and said kindly, "The days ahead are long, I hope we can be close to each other."

Everyone nodded and responded. No one put on an arrogant face. The First Generation were pioneers who started it all, so they deserved the necessary respect.

The welcoming party finally returned to its original purpose. The two groups exchanged information for a while, and the dozens of Resurrected Ones were initially integrated into the association. The original members of the association also composed themselves. Even if they found it unbelievable, they had to accept the reality of the old fogeys rising from their coffins.

Although they accepted the Resurrected Ones, everyone was still full of doubts, and were very curious about how Black Star discovered the Sanctuary Resurrection phenomenon, how he persuaded the Resurrected Ones to join the association, where the Resurrected Ones had been before, and so on, asking about it indirectly.

However, Han Xiao acted calm and collected, glossing over these questions lightly, without explaining.

Everyone was itching with curiosity, and their impression of Han Xiao became even more mysterious, and their attitude became even more awed. No one knew how much power Black Star was hiding beneath the surface, only that he was unfathomable.

But the more this was the case, the more reassured the members of the Super-A Grade Association were. In the past, everyone obeyed the rules and followed orders for the sake of the association's protection and resources, but now there was another, more important reason.

Sanctuary Resurrection gave everyone confidence. Some people were worried about the warnings of the three major civilizations, being anxious and indecisive, but now their mentality stabilized at once, and their fear of the three major civilizations disappeared a lot.

While everyone was chatting, Manison silently watched from the sidelines, his heart full of shock.

'Black Star, so this is the trump card you prepared, beautiful! Sanctuary Resurrection is of extraordinary significance to us. It not only enhances the members' confidence in facing risks, but also strengthens the association's cohesion. The group will be unprecedentedly united.

Moreover, resurrecting historical Super-A Grades is another way to quickly replenish fresh blood. This is much more efficient than slowly waiting for new Super-A Grades to emerge. The association's power will expand in a short period of time, be reborn, and break through the three major civilizations' preset safety line at once. If they want to take action, they will have to think twice... In that case, I don't have to risk deploying the intelligent virus.'

Manison secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had always worried that Black Star's peaceful route would become the three major civilizations' confidence to take action, and that it would be difficult to shake the three major civilizations' determination with Black Star's influence alone. But now it seemed that Black Star's response was completely beyond his expectations, and he had hidden this trump card. He immediately felt relieved.

Manison had to admit that Black Star's move was much better than his own virus deterrence plan, which would harm himself eight hundred while killing the enemy a thousand.

Although the two usually didn't get along, he acknowledged Han Xiao's ability, and at this time, he had a feeling of relief that "this old man didn't trust the wrong person".

On the other side, Kesuye's gaze occasionally swept towards Han Xiao, only feeling that he was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

Kesuye wasn't ignorant about Sanctuary Resurrection. He was probably the only one besides Han Xiao who knew that there was no limit to the number of Sanctuary Resurrections, and he was more excited than anyone else.

He didn't know why Han Xiao had to pretend that there was only one chance for Sanctuary Resurrection, but after thinking about it a little, he could guess the general intention and naturally wouldn't expose it on the spot.

At this moment, Kesuye couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart.

'Fortunately, I have a good relationship with Black Star and haven't offended him. And fortunately, the companion I chose for the trip to the Star Cluster Alliance was Black Star. If it had been someone else, even if they knew about the existence of the Sanctuary, they would probably be like me, with no clue for decades... I also don't know how Han Xiao mastered Sanctuary Resurrection.'

Kesuye didn't know about the existence of the Crimson Dynasty and thought that the trip to the secondary dimensions was the only inspiration Han Xiao had received, secretly marveling at how he had chosen the most reliable companion.

While most of the association members were pleasantly surprised and excited, only the direct descendants of the three major civilizations had grim faces, their moods extremely heavy.

From an individual point of view, Sanctuary Resurrection was indeed a gospel for Super-A Grades, but from a civilization's point of view, it was undoubtedly earth-shattering bad news that the Super-A Grade Association had mastered this method.

'If Super-A Grades have an extra life, and unstable factors can't be eliminated once and for all, then it's troublesome. Even if we can eliminate them once, the dead will definitely become smarter after resurrection and will instead hide in the shadows to take revenge.

And the core of the problem is Black Star. Only he has mastered the Sanctuary Resurrection method. Unless we kill him first, or get the Sanctuary Resurrection method from him, it's almost impossible to split the Super-A Grade Association.'

Many direct descendants frowned, with similar thoughts flashing through their minds.

They had more or less received news that the upper echelons of their civilizations were about to substantially attack the Super-A Grade Association, and at this juncture, Black Star revealed his true intentions, deliberately showing off this method. In their view, this was undoubtedly releasing a warning signal, wanting to use this move to deter the three major civilizations and prevent them from acting rashly.

Moreover, the association's high-end combat power had suddenly increased by a third. Even if the upper echelons of their civilizations wanted to take action, they would have to reconsider the cost.

'He's willing to take all the pressure on himself for the sake of the entire Super-A Grade class... This isn't like Black Star's usual style.'

Thinking of this, many direct descendants looked at Han Xiao with meaningful expressions.

Han Xiao also noticed the gazes of these direct descendants, his face calm and composed, but he smiled inwardly.

The Superpower Calamity was an inevitability in coincidence, and the conflict would break out sooner or later. Although he had now become the trigger of the Superpower Calamity, his fundamental goals had remained unchanged. One was to find a way to make the three major civilizations hesitant to act, stabilize them, and thus control the intensity of the Superpower Calamity's military conflict, preserving more strength to deal with the World Tree War that could come at any time.

The other goal was for his own sake. The better the entire class did, the more stable his position would be.

'This step has finally been taken. There's no turning back once the arrow is fired. We can only guide the torrent of the times and run forward constantly...'

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Xiao steadied his mind, clapped his hands, interrupted everyone's exchange, and said loudly:

"Everyone has met each other, there will be plenty of opportunities to interact in the future. Let's end the welcoming party here today. At the next regular meeting, we will discuss the issue of resource allocation to help these old seniors establish their forces."

Everyone nodded, with no objections.

Having a large number of Super-A Grades would inevitably take away a portion of the profit pie, but because of the existence of Sanctuary Resurrection, almost everyone had made a decision in their hearts to further deepen their relationship with Han Xiao. Han Xiao's right to speak in the association had expanded to the extreme, and he basically had the final say.

"Okay, then let's end the meeting today."

Han Xiao smiled, directly canceled the remote projection, and disappeared.

Seeing this, everyone dispersed on their own, each with their own thoughts.

Regardless of what kind of mood they were in, everyone realized at this moment that—from this day on, the ecosystem of Super-A Grades had been rewritten. When what happened in this venue today spread out, the entire interstellar society's pattern would be greatly impacted, and a storm of change would inevitably start from here and sweep across the entire universe!

The initiator was Black Star, who had been low-key for decades and suddenly released a royal flush!

Many Super-A Grades vaguely had a feeling that Black Star, who had been pushed to the top by them, was likely to usher in a new era!

……

The content of this welcoming party wasn't kept secret. With the help of some interested people, the speed of the news spreading was faster than expected. The next day, it spread throughout the major star fields, and countless media outlets wrote various reports, rushing to broadcast it.

For a time, all the news media channels in various regions were filled with titles like "Shocking! The First Generation Returns from the Dead!", "Truth or Lies? The Truth about Sanctuary Resurrection!", "Sensational News from the Super-A Grade Association, Where Did Dozens of 'New Super-A Grades' Come From?!", "Black Star: Welcome the Return of the Old Era!" and so on.

When countless interstellar citizens and interstellar forces saw these news, their first reaction was disbelief, thinking it was false information.

Sanctuary Resurrection can revive dead Super-A Grade powerhouses? The First Generation, who had long been buried by history, collectively came back to life?

Stop kidding, even TV dramas wouldn't dare to film it like this!

However, a few days later, as members of the Super-A Grade Association personally admitted the truth of the news, the entire interstellar society was stunned!

This was actually true?!

The historical figures in the textbooks were alive?!

Either I'm crazy, or the world is crazy!

Countless people's emotions exploded instantly!

Driven by the emotions of panic, fanaticism, and shock, the news spread faster and faster, and the interstellar society, which had been calm for decades, once again set off a storm.

Whether it was ordinary people or Superpower users, whether it was civilizations or civilian forces, almost everyone vaguely saw a storm rapidly brewing, and had the same strong premonition:

—This universe seems to be changing!
