Chapter 652 - Version Update, the Start of Ten Years (2/2)
The Blacklight Stealth stopped at the port of the Section Zero headquarters, which was on the Curved Blade garrison satellite orbiting the Purple Crystal Civilization mother planet. Han Xiao followed Dodder, the foreign affairs emissary, into the garrison satellite and came to the hall.
At this time, more than two hundred rather well-known people were gathered there. The moment that Han Xiao walked in, those people all turned and looked over with different expressions on their faces.
Before Section Zero was officially formed, most of the people there did not know who the other members were. Due to what had happened with Black Star a few months ago, many had guessed that Black Star had joined Section Zero, so not many of them were surprised.
“Not bad, Black Star is a reliable comrade.”
Many had the same thought in their mind and nodded at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao saw some familiar faces in the crowd, including chest hair monster Jayne and do-nothing Gadeli, who had once fought alongside him, and some organizations that had followed him to eliminate Albert’s gang.
Among them, the ones that had the biggest organizations were the Arc Light Organization leader from the Severide Star System, the Hero Group leader from the Skywalker Star System, and the New Phylen Rebels leader from the Rain Star System. Other than those, there were also many other organizations that were much bigger than Han Xiao’s. His Black Star Army was above average.
Ralph stood before the crowd. His face was serious, and his tone was formal.
“Everyone is here. As you all know, the purpose of Section Zero is to protect the Colton Star Cluster and guard against the Klent Kingdom’s invasion. The enemy you’re about to face is the Tyrant’s Bloodshed Land. Due to reasons that all of you know, we and Klent can’t use our official armies. The Colton Star Cluster’s safety is in your hands.
“You will all become important allies of one another, cooperate with each other, fight alongside each other, and guard against the Bloodshed Land’s invasion together.
“I hereby announce the official creation of Section Zero!”
This time, a notification popped up on Han Xiao’s interface.
New Faction (Section Zero] activated!

In the hall of Black Star Base No.1, many players had gathered.
It was the day of the version upgrade, and the update would start in less than two hours. Many players gathered in different bases before logging off. The players were now experienced with this and knew that the best choice was to wait in a stronghold in groups before the update. Base No.1 had the most players.
This was because Long Sky, Dynasty, and Rivervale had all decided to log off there. Many players had gone to look at those players.
After Hao Tian was done speaking to the passionate fans, he bade farewell to King Admiral and Frenzied Sword.
“I’m logging off.”
King Admiral smiled and said, “Little Hao, let’s have dinner in a few days. Call Fried Eggplants With Fish and the others too.”
“Sure.” Hao Tian nodded.
Li Ge heard and asked, “Hey, what about me?”
“If you’re that shameless, we welcome you to come without an invitation.” Second Prince curled his lips.
“It’s decided then, see you there,” Li Ge said in a serious tone.
Frenzied Sword was stunned. He remembered Li Ge to be very proud, what happened?
Compared to the Temple of Gods, which did not achieve any notable results in two consecutive seasons, Long Sky had finished top four and champions, while Dynasty was second and third. Therefore, Li Ge could not maintain the confidence to be proud anymore. He did not want the Temple of Gods to be forgotten, so he could only put away his pride and hang out with these people. That way, he could at least benefit from all the attention that they were receiving.
“By the way, Sword, bring your team over for the dinner too. It’s on me.” Hao Tian suddenly recalled his buddy Frenzied Sword.
Frenzied Sword was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He had been dreaming of becoming a god tier player, and now, he finally felt that he was one foot into Hao Tian and the others’ circle.
Twinkle Fried Rice’s eyes sparkled. “Since so many people are coming, we might as well invite Thunder Storm, Fanatics, Nine Gates, and all those teams as well. We should all celebrate for a few days.”
Li Ge immediately supported this idea. All the teams gathering together would definitely be huge news. He would benefit from it, too.
Hao Tian thought about it and said, “Okay. Anyway, we did not celebrate enough after winning the championship. Let’s enjoy ourselves during the holidays.”
They chatted for a while happily and logged off one after another. The players around also turned into white lights and disappeared.
Very soon, the hall became empty.
At the same time, Han Xiao, who was on rushing back, saw a notification on his interface.

“And so it begins…”
Inside the Blacklight Stealth cockpit, Han Xiao had a melancholic expression on his face.
Ten years…
A spaceship left the desolate region, and the countless stars ahead were reflected on the porthole.
Stephanie looked at the bright stars ahead and smiled.
“We’re finally here, the Shattered Star Ring.”
