Chapter 401 Influencing the Situation

"Your Excellency Kesuye, do you think we should go?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Kesuye was silent for a few seconds, and slowly said, "Heixing's invitation to everyone is beyond the scope of personal matters. It depends on what the Void Spirit Religion thinks... I estimate that we will accept the invitation."

"Why? Our Void Spirit and the Heixing Legion are not friends. Does Heixing think he has such a big face?" Tolein said indignantly.

Kesuye shook his head, his voice ethereal, "I roughly understand what methods Heixing will use. His reason is to maintain the stability of the Shattered Star Ring. If we don't go, he will settle the score afterward..."

"Are we afraid of him alone?" someone raged.

"We are not afraid, but the Heixing Legion has a huge influence in the Shining World. The Void Spirit probably doesn't want to offend him, and the Void Spirit has to consider Sisko. He lives in the Shattered Star Ring and has nowhere to run. If Heixing wants to settle scores, he will be unlucky." Kesuye said calmly.

"But Heixing is doing this without concealing his goal. If we all respond to his call, it will enhance his reputation and influence. The higher-ups will not be unaware of this. Are the Super-A Grades of other forces willing to be used by Heixing?" Sun Chaser squinted.

"The empire is definitely contributing behind the scenes and fully supporting it, and Guanghui is also likely to agree." Kesuye said.

"Guanghui Federation will also agree?" Tolein asked in confusion.

Kesuye glanced at him and said slowly, "The Shattered Star Ring is, after all, Guanghui's territory."

...

At the same time, the Guanghui Federation also received Han Xiao's invitation letter and immediately gathered many allies to discuss it.

"Heixing wants to hold a Super-A Grade summit. His intentions are obvious. Is it necessary for us to help him enhance his reputation?"

Serraon crossed his four arms, his expression indifferent and disdainful, "Although he is a Peak Super-A Grade, is he overestimating himself? What, does he think everyone has to give him face?"

He is an important ally of the Guanghui Federation and also a member of the Old Age Gang. He has a high status in the Super-A Grade circle, equivalent to the old dragon, Candace of the empire, or the Sun Chaser of the Void Spirit.

Another Super-A Grade turned to look at President Barder and the Council of Elders of Guanghui, and asked in a deep voice, "What does your decision-making team think?"

Barder slowly said, "Maintaining the stability of the Shattered Star Ring is not a bad thing for us. Even without the empire taking the lead, I don't plan to let people cause trouble. The Shining World is about to be developed, so there is no need to provoke unnecessary conflicts."

"Anyway, we didn't plan to cause trouble, so there is no need to respond to Heixing?" someone asked.

"Still considering." The Chief Elder took over the conversation, paused, and tapped his cane, "From the current point of view, it is indeed unnecessary to support Heixing and enhance his influence, which runs counter to our strategy of suppressing the empire for decades."

"I think we can actually help Heixing." At this moment, one person spoke, surprisingly speaking for Han Xiao, "In my opinion, the pressure in recent years has been very effective, and coupled with some special reasons, it is only a matter of time before the empire opens up purchase rights..."

Hearing this, everyone looked at this person with different expressions.

This person's name is Hades, a new Super-A Grade born in the last ten years. He hasn't joined Guanghui for long and has an average status. He hasn't shown any performance, but he suddenly expressed his opinion today, and seems to have unknown intelligence channels.

"You said there are special reasons for the empire to open up the purchase rights of the Totem? What inside information do you know?" Barder asked in confusion.

"Just some trivial information." Hades made it clear that he was perfunctory and didn't want to say it.

Seeing this, Barder was a little dissatisfied, knowing that asking wouldn't yield any results, so he simply asked, "Then tell me why you want to help Heixing."

"It's very simple, the Evolution Cube is the core of the Evolver Totem business. If one day the empire opens up the Totem, our needs will be met. But if we let the empire control the cube, we will not only have no chance at all, but also let the empire get the bulk of the profits. Compared with this, it is better to continue to let Heixing keep the cube.

So we can give Heixing a boost, increase his status and reputation, and increase his bargaining chips to prevent him from being unable to withstand the pressure and being exchanged for the Evolution Cube by the empire," Hades said.

"It sounds reasonable, but the Totem has not yet been opened, and what you said is just empty talk. Helping Heixing now is violating our suppression strategy and will only cause us trouble. If you can prove that the empire will definitely open the Totem and tell the inside information you have, then your proposal will be meaningful." The Chief Elder's thinking was clear.

"I have special informants, and the news is definitely reliable." Hades shook his head, still not intending to explain.

At this time, Mechanic Emperor Mannison, who had been watching the show, tilted his head and said calmly, "Do whatever you want, I will accept Heixing's invitation."

Everyone was shocked and looked at him, many people showing puzzled expressions.

"Didn't you have unresolved conflicts with Heixing? It seems that your relationship is not good?" Serraon asked.

"That's none of your business." Mannison waved his hand casually, "I think this is a grand event that can be promoted as much as possible. Usually, Super-A Grades stay in their respective territories. This is a rare opportunity to gather in one star field. It's a good opportunity to meet each other."

Everyone looked at Mannison's face, but they couldn't see his thoughts from his face. They were puzzled and didn't understand Mannison's intentions.

Logically speaking, Mannison and Heixing are competitors and should try their best to suppress each other. Why would he help? No one knew what he was thinking.

Scanning everyone, Mannison secretly shook his head.

He was not worried that this incident would increase Han Xiao's influence. Normal changes in reputation would not impact the two people's status in the Mechanical Church. Believers only pay attention to mechanical technology and the battle records between mechanics, and ignore everything else, so he was not too afraid of Heixing becoming more famous.

However, Mannison was not planning to help Han Xiao. He mainly wanted to indirectly improve the status of all Super-A Grades in the universe through this incident.

Super-A Grades, who have mastered personal power, are already big figures in the universe, but he felt that their weight was not enough. In the eyes of advanced civilizations, their role is more reflected in strategic deterrence and mutual killings. This has been the case for many years. Mannison wanted to improve this situation.

If a large number of Super-A Grades gather by taking this opportunity, as long as you think about the power these people have when they are united, advanced civilizations will be more afraid of them and pay more attention to them. This will produce some hidden influences, which are generally mixed with advantages and disadvantages, but for Mechanic Empire, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages—his vision is no longer limited to his own territory, and he plans to seek more benefits for the class represented by Super-A Grades.

In other words, Mannison is consciously raising the ceiling of the entire industry, with a bit of the idea of helping the world when he is successful, but at the core, he is still mainly calculating interests.

On the other hand, he didn't mind that Han Xiao took the lead in this grand event. Although the two were competitors, they also had something in common, that is, they were both mechanics. If Heixing's reputation became bigger, it could attract more talents to choose to become mechanics, which would be beneficial to the spread of the Mechanical Church. In this way, Mannison, as the leader of the mechanics world, would also benefit from it.

Of course, if he took the lead, the benefits would be greater, but Mannison was not a stingy person. Since Heixing proposed it first, he didn't bother to grab it. Moreover, Heixing had a reason to maintain the security of the Star Field, and his reasons were justified, but he had no position to summon so many people.

...

Compared to the Void Spirit and Guanghui, the Super-A Grades of the Crimson Empire were very supportive.

"Heixing knows how to do things. His methods of extracting benefits are really amazing." Milizaus marveled.

Hearing this, everyone present shook their heads and laughed.

The gathering of various forces in the Shattered Star Ring was originally a bad thing that affected the stability of the Star Field, but Heixing saw an opportunity in it, seized the opportunity, and planned to squeeze oil out of the cracks in the stones, turning bad things into good things.

Everyone knew Han Xiao's intentions in doing this. Not only did he want to gain reputation and influence, but he also wanted to use this to establish himself as the leader of the Super-A Grades in the Shattered Star Ring—taking the lead in the name of the entire Star Field was of unusual significance.

In the past, Heixing was famous in name but not in reality. Once he succeeded in this matter, it would prove to the outside world that he was famous and in reality, and he was the official leader of the Star Field. It just so happened that the Heixing Legion recently added a Super-A Grade, so he took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. In this way, the status of the Heixing Legion would become even more solid.

Not to mention those long-term benefits, just the most significant impact, that is, the competitiveness of the war domain will be greatly affected. The Endless Financial Group, which has been competing in various fields, will be greatly affected. In the short term, it will be difficult to cause any trouble to the Heixing Legion.

"Heixing is really wild and plays tricks." Candace smiled. Today, he turned into a cute little black pig, only the size of a palm, standing upright, his two hind legs separated, sitting cross-legged like a human, and his two short upper hooves barely made an arm-hugging posture.

"The empire is publicly expressing its support. I don't know what Herber will think." Beaoney smiled slyly.

Hearing this, Croti said lightly, "It's not that the empire doesn't take care of him, but he doesn't have the strength."

...

In the war domain, Herber and Sorokin's avatars sat facing each other.

"The Heixing Legion has added a new Super-A Grade. Heixing really has moves. He wants to completely sit in his position in the Shattered Star Ring. Alas, this is a fair move, and I have no way. If he succeeds, our achievements over the years will be lost by more than half."

Sorokin shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Heixing was not a guy who would easily let go of opportunities. As expected, he took advantage of the birth of a new Super-A Grade in the legion and used this heat to launch a set of combo punches. However, due to the urgency of the situation, he had not even investigated the details of Hella, so naturally he could not fight back.

Moreover, Heixing invited all Super-A Grades this time. No matter whether others give him face or not, the result is not something he can interfere with alone. He can only watch helplessly.

Herber did not answer immediately. He lowered his head and stared at the invitation letter, silent and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Excellency Overlord, are you planning to reject Heixing's invitation? I don't recommend doing so."

Herber glanced at him and slowly said, "Reason."

"The empire's attitude is very clear, that is to support Heixing's move. If you refuse to support it, you will be against the empire, which is not a good choice." Sorokin shook his head, "If everyone else in the empire goes, and you don't go, it will be too out of line. At that time, whether you go or not will not matter much, and not going will be even more embarrassing."

"I don't need you to teach me." Herber snorted coldly, "What about you, are you going?"

"Of course I will go." Sorokin smiled slightly, "After all, Heixing and I are just business competitors, and we have no hatred. Besides, I can't afford to offend him."

He didn't like being out of line. Only by following the crowd could he hide himself.

You shameless guy... Herber couldn't help but slander.

"Alas, it's a pity. It would have been great if you and I were the ones who promoted this grand event." Sorokin sighed, "Perhaps we Super-A Grades know the reason and don't think there is anything great about it, but in the eyes of the outside world, it is too glorious. Heixing responds to every call. If the Heixing Legion goes public, this wave alone can make its market value soar."

Now, if I participate in this grand event, I should be able to drink some soup and raise the market value of the Endless Financial Group a little bit... Sorokin thought to himself.

Ignoring Sorokin, Herber looked at the invitation letter again, feeling a little unwilling, and unwilling to watch Heixing sit in the position of the leader of the Star Field.

Unfortunately, after the last lesson, he already knew that he was not an opponent, he could not beat Han Xiao, and there was nothing he could do.

...

Star Pupil Civilization.

"He even invited me?!"

Sisko was surprised and uncertain.

Frankly speaking, he didn't want to accept Han Xiao's invitation at all in his heart.

But the problem is, he didn't dare to refuse.

Heixing is too powerful now. Sisko's ethnic group is in the Shattered Star Ring. If he offends Heixing, people will find an excuse to attack at any time. How could that be possible?!

Even though the two sides have deep grievances, Sisko has endured humiliation and developed in a low-key manner over the years. He has not taken any revenge. At this time, he dare not offend Han Xiao even more.

I am too aggrieved to be a Super-A Grade!!

Move! I must move!

Sisko roared in his heart, and his mentality exploded for the second time this month.

...

Han Xiao's distribution of hero posts was not announced to the outside world, but some rumors still spread.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for these internal affairs of the Super-A Grade circle to leak out, but the situation is so peculiar. Many interstellar media in the Shattered Star Ring did not know where they got the news, and excitedly sent people to Heixing Legion to inquire everywhere, wanting to follow up and report on it and make a big news.

The most direct manifestation is that the Heixing Legion headquarters has recently added a beautiful scenery, that is, a group of paparazzi with amazing perseverance, chasing after legion members and asking questions.

Han Xiao didn't stop it. The situation was obvious. The empire must have secretly spread the news. Since he was going to hold a grand event, he couldn't avoid creating momentum and maximizing the impact.

He originally wanted to do it himself, but the empire snatched the job, which saved him trouble.

There was still some time before the agreed meeting date, and most of the Super-A Grades had not yet arrived, so Han Xiao asked Sylvia to prepare for this matter, while he was paying attention to the reactions of the Super-A Grades.

He had originally prepared some methods to persuade some Super-A Grades, but what he didn't expect was that the progress seemed to be smoother than expected. Most people bought his account, and it seemed that there was no need to use the prepared methods at all.

"It turns out that unknowingly, my face has become so big..."

Han Xiao sighed secretly, feeling very happy in his heart.

After wandering in the universe for decades, I have finally developed the Face Fruit to the awakening stage!

Since things were going smoothly, he was relieved. In addition to the well-known benefits of holding this grand event, he also had goals that others absolutely did not know:

—Legendary Points!

The source of Legendary Points is very complicated. One way is to do various major deeds. Gathering most of the Super-A Grades in the universe to hold a tea party, Han Xiao estimated that he could get universe-level Legendary Points, and it might even have political assets.

And he can also take this opportunity to get to know the details of these Super-A Grades and record the attribute panels of everyone!

While he was calculating the plan, the door suddenly opened, and Hella walked in, straight to the point and speaking without any detours:

"It's been five days. I've rested enough. Let's fight."

It had been five days since Hella came back. She had been looking forward to the sparring. Today, she finally came to his door again.

"Okay, let's have a fight, but not at the headquarters. If the equipment is damaged, we have to repair it. Let's go to the universe for a wild battle."

Hearing this, Han Xiao stood up. He had promised Hella long ago, and there was no reason to refuse today.
