Chapter 1330 - Public Announcement and Response (1/2)

In the area where the exploration team had been wiped out, Han Xiao’s mechanical army had already set up the stargate and activated the channel. The space vortex slowly spun, and not long after, batches of troops from the three Universal Civilizations flew out from the stargate.

Simon immediately saw the mechanical base floating in the starry sky outside the window. This was a temporary stronghold built by Han Xiao.

Simon sent Han Xiao a message. “We’re here.”

“I see you. Here is the exploration team’s projected route. I’ll leave the rest to you,” Han Xiao replied casually before sending the intelligence to the various commanders.

Simon nodded. Without exchanging pleasantries, he turned and gave the order for the fleet to start moving. The allied troops of the three Universal Civilizations immediately split up, and the construction team built the prototype of the defense circle on the spot. The mechanical army then followed the exploration team’s route, setting up a space stabilization device along the way. Because the World Tree could only take coordinates based on the exploration team’s route to open wormholes, the three Universal Civilizations’ method was a perfect counter.

Looking at the three Universal Civilizations’ fleets working in an orderly manner, Han Xiao nodded.

Although both sides had come into contact in advance, compared to his previous life, the three Universal Civilizations were in a much better position. The World Tree had yet to grasp their strength and was not prepared, so they could not invade from the secondary dimensions. Therefore, the three Universal Civilizations only needed to pay attention to the battlefront of the main universe for the time being, which saved them a lot of time and energy. Furthermore, they still had the upper hand at the moment, managing to keep the enemy outside their territory. The situation was quite good.

Everyone was engrossed in their preparations for a long time. Suddenly, a spacetime anomaly occurred somewhere on the exploration team’s route, attracting everyone’s attention.

A wormhole vortex appeared out of thin air. However, along the way, the wormhole was disrupted by the stabilizing anchor nearby. The process was interrupted, and the wormhole was destroyed. “The teleportation of the World Tree failed.”

Seeing this, many of the officers of the three Universal Civilizations were overjoyed. This was obviously because after the exploration team died, the World Tree had tried to send the next batch of troops. This proved to the three Universal Civilizations that their current plan was effective, able to successfully stop the World Tree’s teleportation team.

This way, the World Tree could only choose to teleport to further coordinates and keep trying until it succeeded. At that time, the three Universal Civilizations, who were prepared, would naturally surround and intercept them. Since the plan was effective, Han Xiao did not keep an eye on it. The three Universal Civilizations would be in charge of this. With more people, the efficacy would naturally be higher.

Leaving behind a Throne, Han Xiao changed into the King and returned to the explored universe. He still had many things to do.

After Han Xiao returned to the Beyond Grade A Association headquarters, he immediately called an emergency meeting. The association members received the news and all attended.

Ever since the three Universal Civilizations’ ban was lifted, Black Star had not summoned everyone so urgently. In the venue, many Beyond Grade A projections landed on their seats and gazed at Han Xiao curiously.

Kasuyi turned and asked, “Black Star, why did you call us for an emergency meeting?” Han Xiao looked around and said with a deep voice, “I know that all of you have always been curious about the basis of our ceasefire with the three Universal Civilizations. Previously, due to the confidentiality agreement and some strategic considerations, I did not disclose it to the outside world. However, the situation has changed. I can tell all of you that… because the three Universal Civilizations discovered a foreign civilization that lives on aggression and threatened the safety of the entire galactic society, they chose to compromise with us at the crucial moment. They hope to work together with us to fight against the foreign enemy.”

Hearing this, the expressions of the Beyond Grade As present changed. Some came to a realization, some were shocked, and others remained unsurprised.

Many people had already faintly expected this possibility, so they did not show a great reaction.

Manison’s eyes flashed, and he slowly said, “This is the deal that the three Universal Civilizations gave us for our independence?”

“That’s right.” Han Xiao nodded.

“How strong is this enemy?” Kasuyi was curious.

“Because of some reasons, it’s not convenient to reveal the details for the time being, but the overall strength is very strong…” Han Xiao briefly described the size of the World Tree.

After hearing the introduction, many people looked at each other and frowned. They were afraid of the strong enemy that Han Xiao described.

“I never thought that I would have to fight alongside the three Universal Civilizations in the blink of an eye.”

“The enemies are so strong. Can the three Universal Civilizations win?”

“Even if we win, it will probably be a tragic victory.”

Many people whispered to each other, worried. Dillon frowned. “In other words, we still have to work for the three Universal Civilizations?”

Han Xiao waved his hand and said, “It’s just a deal. Furthermore, we’re also the prey of the foreign enemies. We have nothing to do with the three Universal Civilizations.”

“Bullsh*t! The three Universal Civilizations can’t even take care of themselves, so we can definitely leave on our own. They won’t dare stop us at this juncture, but aren’t they using our lives to protect the three Universal Civilizations?”

Dillon was clearly dissatisfied. His hostility toward the three Universal Civilizations was very firm.

“If we join the battle, who knows how many people will die? Even if there’s the Sanctum Revival, I think…” Beiger hesitated.

The majority of people there were willing to fight the three Universal Civilizations for the treatment of the Beyond Grade As because of what happened in history, but for them to ally and fight alongside the three Universal Civilizations, it was the exact opposite.

Among that group, the Revivors took the lion’s share. They felt that since they could no longer enjoy the Sanctum Revival, losing their lives for the three Universal Civilizations was not worth it.

Protecting the people was not a priority for a portion of the Beyond Grade As. After all, the strength of an individual was different from that of a civilization. If they did not need to rely on the masses, they naturally did not have much obligation to protect them.
