Chapter 417 The Elder-Killing Specialist

Bai Geer, Pan Ergon, and the others returned to the Pale Star. During the earlier battle in space, everyone consciously avoided this planet, and some of the aftershocks were resolved by the Oathkeeper, allowing the planet to escape disaster.

Han Xiao picked up the previous topic and continued to talk with everyone. This time, he clearly felt that the atmosphere was much better, and the scene was harmonious. Bai Geer and others became serious about listening to his opinions.

As the old saying goes, as long as your fist is big enough, you can make the other party listen to reason calmly. Lu Xun did not deceive me.

"...Your current situation is definitely not suitable for entering the world. After all, your combat power has declined after recovery, and you have fallen behind the times. It is best to find a way to make up for this gap yourself. In my opinion, you should spend more time in seclusion and training, and learn some new technologies and knowledge."

Han Xiao said.

These words were not convincing before the sparring, but now everyone agreed. They thought that resurrection was only limited to once, and it was not easy to be reborn. They had the opportunity to make up for regrets, fulfill ambitions, and climb to the peak. Naturally, they cherished it very much and wanted to be foolproof.

Opportunities were rare, and these Pioneers were patient, and there was nothing they couldn't wait for.

"Black Star, you have really opened the eyes of us old antiques today. Even in the Exploration Era, few people were your opponents." Bai Geer sighed.

In the sparring just now, several people lost face, but they would not bear grudges in their hearts. At this level, they were not ignorant people.

The two sides were not enemies, and although Han Xiao's words were harsh, they were the truth. A powerful benefactor naturally had a different weight in everyone's mind.

"I have always suggested that you join the Beyond Grade A Association. Although the current era is more peaceful than the Exploration Era, there are still undercurrents surging beneath the surface. Beyond Grade As are not safe. You can check the Peak's Downfall online. That was a cleansing event by advanced civilizations against us. They have always wanted to control our numbers, so it is a necessary trend to stick together." Han Xiao began to promote the association again.

This time, except for Pan Ergon, who chose "to abandon this body for the sake of revenge," the other four swept away their previous nonchalant attitude and began to take Han Xiao's opinions seriously, bowing their heads and seriously considering this path.

Seeing this, Han Xiao continued: "Joining the association has more benefits. You have just been resurrected, and you are alone, without any power under your command. Even if you start from scratch, it will take a lot of time, and the cake in each Star Field has been divided up by major forces. Even if you have strength, you will encounter many obstacles... On the contrary, if you become a member of the Beyond Grade A Association, you can immediately borrow intelligence, materials, military and other resources from other members. If you want to establish a force, we will also negotiate to help, provide various assistance, and help you become a member of our interest group..."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod, more or less tempted.

The universe was too big, and it was inconvenient to do anything without people or money.

During the Exploration Era, various civilizations supported them, and they were accustomed to the taste of power. Now they had to start from scratch, and they were not very adaptable.

Mei Ji pondered for a while and said, "We are willing to support you, but you are only the vice president and cannot completely make the decisions. Besides, you have such strength, so the president must not be weak..."

"Well, that makes sense. We appreciate your kindness, but we also have to plan for ourselves. Compared to that, wouldn't it be better to support the leader?" Bai Geer asked.

Han Xiao smiled.

"You don't know this, but I have a grudge against the president. Our paths are different. He is ambitious and too radical. He wants to tie the association to his path and go to the end, which has angered many people. There is no possibility of re-election, and he is getting old. Who knows when he will be gone, so supporting him is not promising. And I have many friends. The position of the next president is basically confirmed, and the chances of re-election are very high. Investing in me is the best choice. You can learn about this information online... By the way, he was once my defeated opponent."

Although he had only won against McNeill once, and the overall record was more losses than wins, it was not a lie to say that he was once his defeated opponent... Anyway, Old Man McNeill was not here. Could he have any objections?

"So that's how it is."

Everyone was stunned, and Old Man McNeill's reputation was damaged again.

Everyone talked for a while, and Han Xiao gave a lot of advice and analyzed the current situation in the universe. Bai Geer and his party listened carefully and felt that they had benefited a lot.

After talking about the subtle relationship between the three major civilizations, Han Xiao stopped and changed the subject with a smile:

"Speaking of which, I am very interested in the Exploration Era, but the only way to learn about it is to find information online. You are all people from that era. Perhaps you can tell me about the specific situation of that era?"

His trip was not only for the Super Energy Calamity layout, but also to exchange intelligence with the Pioneers. Seeing that the time was right, he brought up this topic.

"Then you have come to the right person. Who in the universe knows that era better than us?"

Han Xiao had been talking and they had been listening. Seeing that Han Xiao had brought up a topic they were familiar with, everyone immediately became interested and immediately talked about the glory of the past, from the Dark Forest to the battle for hegemony, chatting endlessly.

Han Xiao nodded and listened, interjecting questions from time to time, and learned a lot of secrets about the Exploration Era war and some intelligence about the Pioneers from their mouths.

"Speaking of which, do you know a person called Spiritual Emperor?"

Han Xiao's eyes flashed.

"Rovell Sithsock? I fought him on the battlefield a few times before. This guy is a bit capable, but I died earlier than him. I don't know what happened to him later." Mei Ji said.

"He died in battle." Bai Geer shook his head. "I killed him."

"You killed him?" Han Xiao immediately became interested.

"Well, to be specific, Spiritual Emperor died in an encirclement on the battlefield. I was one of the participants. Two other people participated in the siege, but I dealt the fatal blow."

Oh, what a coincidence.

Han Xiao was very curious about what Sorkin's expression would be after Bai Geer joined the association.

Well, with Sorkin's cunning nature, even if there were stormy waves in his heart, he would probably still have a fake smile on his face... Should I provoke him then?

Han Xiao suppressed the malicious thoughts in his heart and asked, "Are you sure he is really dead? His mental power is quite unique. Maybe he transferred his soul without anyone noticing."

"Are you saying he faked his death?" Bai Geer was stunned, recalled for a while, and shook his head: "Then I don't know. Anyway, I didn't find anything unusual at the time."

"I'm just guessing. If he lived to the modern era like the Oathkeeper, would you be able to recognize him if you saw him again?"

"This... it's hard to say. If he hasn't changed, my soul detection magic can recognize him. By the way, Spiritual Emperor was also the former host of the Soul Fire. As long as we meet, the Oathkeeper may have a feeling... But the premise is that he hasn't changed his soul frequency, which is usually a unique marker."

Hearing this, Han Xiao rubbed his chin and thought.

Sorkin was an expert in mental power, so he shouldn't leave such a flaw... But that's not certain. After all, Sorkin had survived to the modern era, so he wouldn't have thought that he would meet the Pioneers he had interacted with in the past.

No one in the modern era could prove that Sorkin was Spiritual Emperor. On the contrary, this group of resurrected Pioneers had become strong evidence... Tsk, if Bai Geer recognized Sorkin on the spot when he joined the association, that would be a big joke.

"Black Star, I feel like there's something behind your words. Do you know something? Is Spiritual Emperor really alive?" Bai Geer couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows?"

Han Xiao shrugged. He hadn't decided whether to expose Sorkin's identity yet. Now was not the time to maximize profits.

He paused and asked again, "By the way, there was a pair of sisters in the Exploration Era who controlled the powers of life and death. What do you think of them?"

"Niges and Eros... Those sisters were very strong. They created the Underworld, and not many people were willing to provoke them." Pan Ergon found a chance to interject.

"What is the Underworld?" Han Xiao pretended not to know.

"That's also a way to revive, but there are more shortcomings, and you will become vassals of the two sisters..." Several people explained.

The Oathkeeper listened for a while and hesitated, "Many Pioneers were looking for ways to revive back then. We chose the Holy Covenant, and some people pinned their hopes on the Underworld, but..."

Mei Ji shook her head, "Let me tell you, those two sisters have become obsessed with the concept of life and death. They are very unreliable. We once invited them to join the Holy Covenant, but they refused. Later, we lost contact and didn't know what happened to them. They should be dead, right?"

They are more than just dead. You wouldn't believe it if I told you that they committed suicide...

Han Xiao complained in his heart, and suddenly his body paused, and he suddenly realized something.

When he listened to the landlady of the Underworld's introduction, he didn't know about the Sanctuary's situation. But now it seemed that... the two sisters leaving behind informationalized power seeds was equivalent to them grabbing their own power information from the Sanctuary, which allowed the two power seeds to carry on their lifelong insights?

Master Han was horrified and felt that the inside story was not simple.

Could it be that the reason why the two sisters committed suicide was actually because they discovered the clues of the Sanctuary's revival and wanted to commit suicide and immediately revive to confirm their ideas and determine that this path was correct? Maybe they failed in the end and only left behind power information, failing to revive themselves...

Thinking about Cusodia's situation, could there be an influence from the Divine Transformation mission?

Before they completely died, the two sisters mentioned the word "inheritance" in their last words... Could it be that they were not only referring to the power seeds, but also alluding to the Great Reboot and the iteration of the universe?!

Thinking deeper, could Hela, Aurora, or the Underworld be used as a medium to revive Niges and Eros from the Sanctuary? If it failed, wouldn't that mean they were still alive in some way?

Han Xiao secretly took a breath, feeling terrified.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he skipped this topic and continued to chat with the group.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Han Xiao saw that they had talked enough, so he interrupted and said with a smile:

"Let's stop here today. I've already given my opinion. We can be considered acquaintances. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me. Keep in touch."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and expressed their friendliness.

Han Xiao said goodbye one by one, then put on the Emperor Suit and disappeared into thin air in a flash.

With the main character gone, Bai Geer and the others exchanged glances.

"Let's leave too. Black Star is right. I'm going back to prepare for seclusion and training. With such a good opportunity, I can continue to seek breakthroughs. I hope to restore my peak strength." Someone said.

"Well, I don't plan to come out in twenty... ah no, forty years. I'll stay in the Holy Covenant."

Listening to the discussion of his companions, the Oathkeeper smiled gratified.

A sapling won’t grow straight if it isn’t pruned. Black Star has finally corrected the mentality of my little friends. My hard work was not in vain...

…

On the other side, Han Xiao directly used the Emperor's teleportation to return to the Black Star Palace, which was several Star Fields away. He immediately opened the panel and saw the quest notification that had been flashing for a while.

[【Fists are the Only Truth】 has been completed!]

[Your actions have earned the awe of the Pioneers, and the results are remarkable, which will have an unknown impact on the follow-up.]

[Evaluation: Incredible]

[Mei Ji's favorability towards you +20]

[Trip's favorability towards you +20]

…

[Pan Ergon's favorability towards you +20]

[You have gained 240 billion EXP, Random Reward x8, Blank Character Summon Card x3]

[You have gained 10 Awakening Points]

[You have gained 【Third Sanctuary】 Fragment x1]

[You have gained Feat 【Elder-Killing Specialist】]

[【Elder-Killing Specialist】: When facing opponents older than you, your base attack power will increase with the battle, with a maximum increase of 15%, and your charm will increase by 40%.]

"This…"

Han Xiao was speechless.

The rewards were very generous. Few missions directly rewarded Awakening Points, and he even got a new Feat.

The effect of the Feat was quite good, like 【Fearless Heart】, it increased base attack power...

But there were too many things to complain about!

I beat up a bunch of Pioneers, so I became an "Elder-Killing Specialist"? Is this the rhythm of punching the South Mountain Retirement Home?!

Also, I can understand increasing attack power, but what's with increasing charm? Do people think my posture of beating people is heroic, and they cheer "Hit them hard!" while getting beaten? Have they all become masochists?!

Han Xiao's soul of complaint was burning fiercely, and he finally suppressed it.

Putting aside these complaints, the trigger mechanism was suitable for him. Among the existing Beyond Grade As, it seemed that no one was younger than him...

"What a weird ability, and it seems to violate the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young..."

Han Xiao shook his head helplessly, carefully looked at the rewards, and then closed the panel and thought about the impact of this trip.

"This time, I beat up the Pioneers and knocked down their arrogance. In this way, they should develop in a low-key manner for a long time. The Super Energy Calamity will be delayed as a result... I can relax for a while."

Han Xiao exhaled.

He now had a lot of things to do, researching the technology treasure, expanding the legion branches, collecting Sanctuary keys, etc. What he lacked most was time. The later the Super Energy Calamity broke out, the more beneficial it would be to him. It would be best if clues appeared after he became the next president of the Beyond Grade A Association, so that his position would be very stable, and it would be more convenient for him to lead the direction of the Super Energy Calamity.

Currently, the three major civilizations and the Super Star Cluster Alliance were fighting, and the universe was turbulent, but for the Beyond Grade As, it was a stable period. Without external conflicts, they could just develop in a low-key manner and promote the integration of the association's interest group... After all, the Beyond Grade A Development Association had only been established for a few years, and the business had just started, so there were too many things to be integrated.

It was time to develop for a while... Han Xiao thought to himself.

…

At the same time, McNeill and Sorkin, who were in different places, suddenly felt a chill.

"Strange, I feel like something bad has happened."

Sorkin was uneasy, and dozens of guesses flashed through his mind in an instant.

McNeill's reaction was much more direct.

"Black Star, that little brat, must be badmouthing me behind my back again!!"
