Chapter 1460 Handover and the Idea of Refreshing Permissions
This batch of former direct descendants of the Super-Energy Holy Land who defected were only a minority. Most of the direct descendants still chose to stay with the three major civilizations. However, even so, the contrast between the high-level combat power of the two sides became even more disparate.
However, Han Xiao was not afraid to openly poach the three major civilizations anymore. Since he had subdued the World Tree and ended the war, many accumulated problems had been solved, such as the right to disseminate ultimate knowledge, which the three major civilizations had never loosened.
"It is a general trend that the Super-Energy Holy Land becomes the hall of individual power. The three major civilizations know that they cannot stop it, and finally compromised with me..."
Han Xiao's thoughts turned, his gaze swept over everyone, and suddenly locked onto a group of newly promoted Super-A Grades such as Karrot and Evans, his eyes flashing slightly.
The potential of Karrot and Evans did not need much emphasis, and their future was naturally limitless. However, because the World Tree War broke out many years earlier than in his previous life, they did not have enough time to grow. Even with his cultivation, these missing years were still not so easy to make up for, and they were far from reaching the theoretical peak of their abilities.
Therefore, in this war, the two did not have too many dazzling performances, but it was undeniable that they were still extremely valuable to cultivate in the future.
In Han Xiao's view, since the Super-Energy Holy Land shouted the slogan of "Holy Land of the Super-Energy Class," it must reflect the characteristics of carrying forward the past and opening up the future, and there must be no generation gap of strong individuals. Although the current peak Super-A Grades were long-lived and enjoyed great fame, it was not feasible to have no new generation of strong individuals in the future. It was necessary to let the interstellar society see the "individual power cultivation ability" of the Super-Energy Holy Land, which surpassed any force.
Although there may not be any opportunities to take action in the future, a new generation of strong individuals was still needed to guard the Super-Energy Holy Land. Han Xiao had already regarded Karrot and Evans as the future mainstays and right-hand men of the Super-Energy Holy Land.
The work of transforming the territory was completed. Secret Master and other mages summoned a directional portal, directly sending everyone back to the main star of the Super-Energy Holy Land.
The main star of the Super-Energy Holy Land was named "Star of the Gods," located in the back section of the Shattered Star Ring. It was adorned with statues of all the Super-A Grades of the Civilization Elders Association. The lineup was luxurious, among which Black Star's statue was the tallest and most conspicuous, and was a landmark building of the entire planet.
Countless spaceships gathered from all directions to this planet, leaving behind streaks of light, like a suspended and dazzling Milky Way. These were some of the superhumans who chose to join the Super-Energy Holy Land, coming to the main star to worship the statues of the Super-A Grades.
This area was originally a defense zone built by the Interstellar United Army, but after the war, all the stationed troops were withdrawn, and this area changed to a new owner.
Each Super-A Grade had a mansion here. After everyone returned, they dispersed in twos and threes to do their own thing. Now was the period of migrating their respective forces to the territory of the Super-Energy Holy Land, and most of the Super-A Grades were very busy.
Han Xiao returned to his office. Aurora, Hela, Fording, and other Black Star Army members followed him to hold a small meeting.
"The framework of the Super-Energy Holy Land has been set up, and the rest is filling it in. Some personnel changes need to be explained to you."
Saying that, Han Xiao glanced at everyone, his eyes falling on Nello, and continued:
"As the supreme leader of the Super-Energy Holy Land, it is not appropriate for me to continue to lead the Black Star Army. Nello, the army will be temporarily handed over to you."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the dazed Nello, their eyes varied.
"Ah, this is not appropriate, I am not mentally prepared." Nello was shocked and stammered: "You, you started from scratch and built today's foundation, and handed it over to me like this, I am afraid I can't bear it..."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and scolded, "What are you thinking about? I'm just asking you to be an acting army commander. I'm only nominally in charge, and nominally no longer interfere in the daily affairs of the army, but you still have to report to me, okay?"
Now that he had become the supreme leader of the Super-Energy Holy Land, he needed to avoid suspicion from the outside world. If he continued to lead the Black Star Army, it would easily make others have ideas and easily breed the swelling mentality within the army. Although Han Xiao was not afraid, he would avoid it if he could. It just so happened that he also wanted to unload some burdens and make himself a little easier.
After all, with his own Transcendent Grade and the power of the World Tree, he no longer needed external forces to support his position, so he simply delegated power and reduced his burden.
"Then I'm relieved." Nello breathed a sigh of relief.
It was no wonder he was timid. There were too many Super-A Grades in the army. Although he was Black Star's adopted son, he still couldn't hold the line.
Moreover, the "Black Star Army" brand had already become famous throughout the universe and stood too high. Nello was afraid of ruining his reputation, but it would be much easier if he was just working.
Han Xiao turned to look at Aurora and said, "It's the same with you. Now that you have become the second-in-command of the Super-Energy Holy Land, don't continue to be the vice-army commander of the Black Star Army. Do a handover in a while."
Aurora was unwilling. "What about the promise that as long as I am willing to stay, I can always stay in the army?"
Han Xiao shook his head and smiled. "Your identity is not suitable now. You always have to take on important responsibilities. Even if you are not in the army, our relationship has not changed. As the saying goes, people go to higher places. The Black Star Army is just a stage in your life, and it has passed."
"Hmph, big liar."
Aurora turned her head to the side.
Han Xiao was helpless. He turned to look at Hela and asked, "What about you? Have you considered what I told you? Will you take the position of Minister of the Ability Department of the Super-Energy Holy Land?"
"Yes."
Hela nodded lightly.
"Okay, then you and Aurora will hand over your positions in the army together."
Han Xiao nodded.
The Super-Energy Holy Land was divided into five important departments according to the five major super-energy systems, led by the corresponding Super-A Grades, with great power.
Hela's performance in this war was obvious to all. In addition, with the characteristics of the Underworld, no one objected to her taking charge of the Ability Department.
Originally, Han Xiao wanted Manison to take charge of the Machinery Department, but Old Manison refused. He had no choice but to settle for second best and let Kant preside over the Machinery Department. The Magic Department was managed by Milizaus, and the deputy was Secret Master. Sai Lun was the Minister of the Martial Arts Department, and Han Xiao planned to replace him with Karrot in the future. The best candidate for the Psionic Department was Kesuye, but he was going on a long journey, so he replaced him with a peak Super-A Grade of the psionic system who had been following the association for a long time, and Fording was the deputy.
After a series of personnel changes, the high-level power of the Super-Energy Holy Land was distributed to the various meritorious officials.
Among them, many high-ranking officials were "former members of the Black Star Army." Han Xiao asked them to hand over all of them and did not force them to bind these people with the army's camp.
Although these people did not mind following him, he still had to give them face. As the high-level officials of the Super-Energy Holy Land with real power, it was not good to keep the title of Vice-Army Commander, and it would also appear that the Black Star Army was controlling the civilization's decision-making power, which was too strong... Although he now had the qualifications to be a dictator, he did not need to show it.
On the surface, a group of Super-A Grades left, which seemed to be a loss of high-level combat power for the Black Star Army. In fact, it did not make much difference to Han Xiao. In the past, he thought about collecting a large number of experts to strengthen the Black Star Army's momentum, but now he had to do subtraction. The height of his position had changed, and these Super-A Grades were not in the army, which did not mean that they would not listen to him anymore.
At this time, Hela crossed her arms and said straightforwardly, "You want to teach me how to enter the Transcendent Grade."
"I can't teach you now. Wait until you enter the bottleneck."
Han Xiao waved his hand.
He successively arranged the positions of many army Super-A Grades. After dealing with the last person, he thought for a while and looked at Aurora again, saying:
"By the way, you let Sorokin out. I have something to talk to him about."
Aurora pouted, but still did it. Clusters of gentle golden energy condensed into a solid body, gradually turning into Sorokin's appearance.
Sorokin opened his eyes, glanced around, and finally landed on Han Xiao, wondering, "Huh? Isn't the war over? Why did you call me out?"
Han Xiao rubbed his knuckles and said, "I have a good thing for you here. As long as you are willing to make an agreement with me and don't cause trouble or mess around, I will allow you not to return to the Underworld and continue to operate outside."
Hearing this, Sorokin looked suspicious.
"When did you become so good to me? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"The Super-A Grade Association has established a civilization regime called the Super-Energy Holy Land. I will tell you the specific things later. I hope you will be a high-level official in economics or business and give full play to your strengths. What do you think? Are you interested?"
"There is such a good thing." Sorokin's eyes lit up.
"Just say whether you are willing or not."
Han Xiao's tone was casual.
Of course, the Super-Energy Holy Land did not lack professionals in economics, but Sorokin was, after all, the guy who was best at making money among the Super-A Grade group. Han Xiao felt that it would be a waste of his talent to throw him in the Underworld. It was a pity, so he simply brought Sorokin out to let him contribute his residual heat.
Anyway, with his current status, he was not afraid of Sorokin causing any trouble.
"No problem, don't worry, with me here, I will definitely make the economy of this Super-Energy Holy Land prosperous and strong, and create new brilliance!" Sorokin immediately agreed.
He had nothing to do all day in the Underworld. He would definitely not refuse such a rare opportunity to "air out".
As for the old grudges with Black Star, Sorokin had already resigned himself to fate over the years. He was a smart person and would not hold on to it all the time.
Han Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, the communicator suddenly rang.
"Beep beep beep..."
He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Marbruce, the head of state of the empire.
Han Xiao waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. After everyone left, he answered the communication.
"What's the matter?"
"Black Star, we plan to hold a grand ceremony on January 1, Star Sea Calendar 800 to celebrate this victory, commemorate the lives sacrificed in the war, and award medals to the meritorious officials. Your Super-Energy Holy Land will also participate at that time, especially you. The entire interstellar society regards you as a hero, so don't be absent."
"I will go at that time."
Han Xiao nodded and agreed.
This war was indeed worthy of the three major civilizations holding a grand ceremony. The date chosen was also very meaningful, the first day of a new century... It was probably specially chosen for the convenience of students to memorize.
After chatting casually for a few words, Han Xiao told him about the choice of Hilbert and his group by the way. Marbruce's reaction was very calm, as if he had expected it, so Han Xiao was not able to see the other party's exasperated appearance, which was a little regrettable.
After hanging up the communication, Han Xiao calculated the date.
"There are still half a year left before the ceremony. This period of time is enough for the Super-Energy Holy Land to gain a firm foothold. After the ceremony, there will be a lot of free time. I will enter the Sanctuary again and resurrect the old unlucky people who died in battle... And find out all the information on the Sanctuary message board."
Because the World Tree solved the problem of the Sanctuary key, Han Xiao naturally thought of a plan, which was to use this point to continuously enter and exit the Sanctuary to farm permissions and unlock all the information on the message board.
Theoretically, this operation was completely feasible.
However, this required a lot of time, and Han Xiao decided to implement it after the new pattern was stable.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what the players are doing recently..."
Han Xiao opened the panel and glanced at the player forum. Most of the posts discussed topics related to the victory of the war and the Super-Energy Holy Land.
Now that the war was over, the player group was idle. Although Han Xiao had put on the shelves the "World Tree War" series of dungeon crystals, most people were still in a state of idleness—after experiencing the end of a world main quest line, many people temporarily could not get the energy to do side quests and needed to digest it.
In addition, the Fifth Professional League was already in the preparation stage, attracting the attention of the players, so Han Xiao did not have to worry about the players running around when they were idle.
"The universe is peaceful, society is stable, and everything is getting better... Tsk tsk, it's been a long time since I've been so relaxed."
Han Xiao let out a breath and felt a burst of refreshment, with an unspeakable sense of satisfaction.
...
Another place on the Star of the Gods, Manison's mansion.
Manison casually played with the deck of cards, looking at Kesuye, who was meditating on his hand of cards across the table, and said casually, "You have decided to travel far away and found a new life goal. I haven't congratulated you yet."
"Living long, you always have to find something to do. There are basically no secrets in the explored universe for me. Finding the unknown is fun." Kesuye casually played a card and said with a smile, "But speaking of which, I didn't expect that you actually rejected Black Star's invitation and didn't take charge of the Machinery Department of the Super-Energy Holy Land, voluntarily giving up this position with real power."
"Aren't you the same?" Manison did not commit himself.
"I don't want to take office because I'm going on a long journey, but you're staying here. Why don't you want this power? It's not like you." Kesuye raised his eyebrows.
"I have other arrangements." Manison glanced at the card game, took out a card as if to play it, but after thinking about it, he put the card back and replaced it with another hand of cards to play, talking non-stop, saying, "I plan to retreat and study for decades, and I don't want to be distracted in other places... Besides, with Black Star around, I will never be able to surpass him in the eyes of mechanics."
"Indeed." Kesuye sighed, "It's the misfortune of all mechanics to be in the same era as him."
Manison looked up at him and knocked on the table. "You're not a mechanic. Why are you so emotional?"
"Seriously, if I were you, I would just directly worship Black Star as my teacher. It's not shameful to learn knowledge." Kesuye shrugged.
"You talk too much. Hurry up and play your cards."
Manison snorted coldly.
Although his relationship with Han Xiao had eased a lot and he was willing to obey the other party's orders to a certain extent, would he lower his head again? Absolutely impossible!
...
The establishment of the Super-Energy Holy Land established a new pattern after the war. After preliminary observation, a large number of superhumans from different civilizations poured into the territory of the Super-Energy Holy Land from various star fields, and obtained formal citizenship after approval.
The work efficiency of Super-A Grade forces was notoriously high. With the rapid implementation and improvement of various measures, the Super-Energy Holy Land began to operate efficiently only a few months after its establishment. On the other hand, the entire interstellar society had not yet recovered, and it would take a lot of time to adapt to the new pattern.
The Super Star Cluster Alliance also took advantage of the birth of the Super-Energy Holy Land to get rid of its suppressed situation and finally enjoyed the normal treatment of advanced civilizations, obtaining a certain degree of freedom to develop.
The post-war pattern went through a turbulent stage and gradually stabilized. The entire interstellar society was working hard to adapt to the post-war changes. In the blink of an eye, it quietly came to the end of Star Sea Calendar 799, and the celebration ceremony held by the three major civilizations was held as scheduled.
