Soon, the communicator shot out an inverted cone-shaped pseudo-projection light and quickly swept across the room. Wherever it passed, the scene in the room suddenly changed and turned into a conference room where Ulan Riel and a group of military executives were sitting. It was like being there.

territory.

Han Xiao took a glance and found that all the people present were high-level military officials, all staring at him, with eyes full of curiosity, evaluation, admiration, wonder, etc., showing great interest in him.

"Black Star, you have made great contributions in this incident, and the empire will praise you for your contribution." Ulan Riel, who was in the main seat, stared at Han Xiao with a tone of praise.

"I'm just trying to save myself." On this occasion where the empire's top officials gathered together, Han Xiao couldn't help but say a scene, being humble and very comfortable.

"No matter what, you have the credit." Ulan Riel said a rare polite word, and then got back to the subject, "Tarrokov has just described the process of this battle, but I want to hear your version.

There are some questions that I still need you to answer."

Han Xiao didn't take it seriously. Looking at this battle from a Transcendent A Grade perspective, the information he had was naturally different. He told it from beginning to end, and briefly went through the fragments related to the panel.

Ulan Riel nodded and asked: "I want to know whether your method of resisting and sealing the scepter of the gods is a new cosmic treasure."

"Well, this is something I accidentally discovered while exploring the Glittering World. It's a wonder of the universe."

"So that's it." Ulan Riel did not ask about the name and function of the space-time amber. If Black Star was willing to say it, she would naturally say it. If she was not willing, she would not force the hero who had just made a contribution. Of course, Transcendent A Grade has to be conservative.

To qualify for the secret of her abilities, she only needs to ensure that Black Star is hers.

"I have sealed the Scepter of the Ten Thousand Gods. If nothing else happens, it will be difficult for the Ethereal Religion to break my sealing method. It's just that they don't know it yet... The Scepter of the Ten Thousand Gods is a cosmic treasure that they value. They may privately approach the Empire.

Negotiate.”

When Ulan Riel heard this, his eyes moved slightly and asked: "Are you sure it will be difficult for them to break the seal?"

"Nothing is absolute. Maybe Ethereal Religion can research something, but judging from the probability, their success rate of cracking it is very low. It is likely that only I can help them unlock the seal of the Scepter of the Ten Thousand Gods."

"I understand. If it is true as you said, we have underestimated your contribution. If the Ethereal Religion loses the Scepter of the Gods, their deterrence against Transcendent A Grade combat power will drop by a notch. I have decided to fight back against Ethereal.

Sect, you have reduced the chance of accidental casualties of the empire's Transcendent A Grade combat power, which is good." Ulan Riel paused, "However, the incident on the Lighthouse Star has made the relationship between the two parties tense. In a short period of time, the virtual

The Spiritual Sect will not negotiate with us privately, but will pretend to have broken the seal."

"Well, you're right." Han Xiao thought for a while. Indeed, if the empire wants to fight back, the Ethereal Religion will not give in easily. It is very likely that they will be embarrassed and pretend to be fat. Secretly, they will be too anxious to break the seal, but they will pretend to be big on the surface.

A wolf with a tail, strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

"Also, regarding the issue of Ability God, the Ethereal Religion actually cooperated with the notorious Ark of the Fallen. The empire will issue a statement to the entire universe, condemning the actions of the Ethereal Religion..." Ulan Riel changed the subject, "Don't worry.

, the empire has no objection to your behavior of using the evolution cube to satisfy the gods this time."

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his conspiracy against the Ability God had taken effect, but in essence, he had made a transaction with the Ability God. But the empire was not unreasonable. If it was a private transaction with the Ability God, it would naturally not be cleared up.

, but at this critical moment, he had no choice. It was a helpless move to openly py with the Ability God in front of everyone. Ulan Riel said that he would not pursue the matter, which meant that the empire meant that no one was allowed to take advantage of it.

This incident hurt Black Star's reputation.

From this sentence, Han Xiao realized that Ulan Riel wanted to win him over and become a member of the head of state. Summoning him in person was not only a compliment, but also an expression of this attitude. The empire was so powerful that it naturally

The natural law of internal strife cannot be avoided, and there are many factions. This time Han Xiao has made a contribution. There will be no problem when the limelight is at its peak, but after a while, some factions may take advantage of it.

'If an Imperial Transcendent A Grade is killed this time, or if I fail to capture Di Lun, someone might take advantage of this and force me to hand over the Evolution Cube...' Han Xiao was secretly shocked. He had just finished the battle and had no details.

I think, at this time, after Ulan Riel's subtle reminder, I understood the good intentions of the head of state.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Head of State." Han Xiao nodded.

Ulan Riel hummed, "As for Di Lun, what are you going to do with him?"

"I decided to hand it over to the empire." Han Xiao said slowly: "The Ethereal Religion returned in defeat this time, and they will not easily take action against the Evolution Cube again. However, if I keep Di Lun as a prisoner, the Ethereal Religion will

Taking into account the opinions of our allies, I will never sit idly by and will definitely take rescue measures. I don’t want this incident to happen again. If it happens again, I may not be as lucky as today. It is better to hand it over to the Empire and treat it as an alliance with the Ethereal Sect.

Negotiation chips.”

Although the Ethereal Sect has been defeated this time, if Di Lun is imprisoned in his personal capacity, it will not only be a slap in the face, but also a crush on the ground in the face of the Ethereal Religion. After all, he is a universe-level civilization.

, there is no problem in counterattack, but it can completely anger the opponent. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he will not get any good results. Di Lun is a hot potato. If he keeps it in his own hands, the harm will be far greater than the benefit. It is better to hand it over to the empire in exchange for greater credit and a big wave of success.

Faction contribution points can be exchanged for ultimate knowledge.

"You did the right thing. I think the same way. I originally wanted to persuade you, but since you are willing to hand it over, that's even better."

A rare smile appeared on Ulan Riel's frigid face. Knowing that Han Xiao had accepted her olive branch, she smiled lightly and said, "This time, your contribution is great, in addition to the empire's praise and support for you and the Black Star Legion."

, if you have any other needs, you can ask."

The empire will definitely provide the Black Star Legion with greater resource support this time. This point does not need to be emphasized, so Han Xiao put forward what he expected most.

"I hope to gain more ultimate knowledge."

"Well, no problem." Ulan Riel agreed, "I will instruct the chief of the Imperial Logistics Bureau to speak to you directly, and you can just make your request to him."

It is impossible for the head of the empire, who has many things to do, to personally take responsibility for such a small matter as exchanging knowledge.

Han Xiao smiled and nodded, and secretly calculated that the contribution he made this time must be more than one ultimate knowledge. At this level of knowledge, each one can bring a huge increase to the mechanic's combat power.

However, it is impossible to obtain all the ultimate knowledge at once. The merit is true, but there are rules to follow for rewards. Ultimate knowledge is one of the important means to attract Transcendent A Grade to join. Even the direct Transcendent A Grade of the empire must

It's earned slowly through meritorious deeds.

"The impact of this incident will affect the situation in the entire universe." Ulan Riel resumed his serious tone of talking about business, and said in a deep voice: "The Ethereal Religion provokes, the empire must fight back, and the Federation of Radiance has always liked to hedge its bets.

, therefore our energy to explore the Glittering World will be restrained, and the three major civilizations will compete with each other. Those super star cluster civilizations will take this opportunity to increase their efforts to penetrate the Glittering World. This is exactly what Ethereal and Glory want to see, forcing the empire to do so at the same time.

Dealing with multiple issues keeps us bogged down."

Han Xiao knew that Ulan Riel must have a purpose in saying this, so he asked with admiration: "Then what do you think?"

"We need to deter the Transcendent Star Cluster-level civilization, so we will gradually recall some of the Transcendent A Grade combat forces and troops guarding Glittering World. Of course, their forces are still exploring Glittering World."

Han Xiao did not speak. He knew what Ulan Riel meant. The empire could not keep so many Transcendent A Grades in Glittering World. This idea must have been there for a long time, but he did not care about his and Heboar’s territory.

The nearby Broken Star Ring is unlikely to be recalled.

Seeing this, Ulan Riel changed the topic and asked: "Black Star, what do you think of the current situation of the empire?"

"It's no different from you. The struggle mainly revolves around the Glittering World. Not everyone can participate in the competition. The aftermath of the red tide is gradually cooling down, so the interstellar society will not be affected. Those star cluster-level and galaxy-level civilizations will become more stable.

Share a little." Han Xiao shrugged.

"Maybe." Ulan Riel nodded slowly and suddenly asked: "Do you have any suggestions for the empire's counterattack plan?"

Han Xiao's heart moved slightly. The head of state may not necessarily adopt his suggestions when discussing the empire's plan with him, but this gesture represents the increase in his status and voice within the empire.

After thinking about it, Han Xiao's eyes flashed, he coughed, and said: "It is necessary for the empire to counterattack, but the focus can be adjusted. The Ethereal Sect is also a cosmic-level civilization, and counterattacking them is just a necessary attitude. I think the head of state must

You also know that it is difficult to achieve results."

"continue."

"If you ask me, we should focus on retaliating against the Ability God. The Ability God also participated in the Battle of Lighthouse Star. He is much easier to deal with than the Ethereal Religion. It just so happens that the desolate cosmic zone in the middle of the central star sea has always been the friction between the three major civilizations.

Default battlefield, just in time to deal with the Ability God. If the Ark of the Fallen can be eradicated, the empire will have demonstrated a vigorous and resolute counterattack, which will be more intimidating."

This incident is a good opportunity to persuade the Empire to vigorously deal with the Ability God. If the Empire can get help, the chance of killing the Ability God will be higher.

Ulan Riel was noncommittal and said calmly: "I will let people analyze your suggestion. The top priority now is to pursue the Ethereal Religion and Ability God's fleet. When reinforcements arrive, you will follow Tarrokov's command and cooperate.

The Imperial Fleet's operation... just wanted to run away after hitting us, it's not that easy!"

After saying that, Ulan Riel nodded to Han Xiao and said, "Go and rest first. During the pursuit, you will still need to continue fighting."

"good."

After the call ended, the mimicry projection in the room disappeared and returned to its original state.

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy. The contribution of this battle gave him a sense of presence in front of the empire's senior officials. His identity in the hearts of others changed from a new ally to a reliable empire Transcendent A Grade.

With the support of the head of state, his status and influence increased.

Putting away the communicator, Han Xiao found a new prompt popping up on the panel, so he opened it and took a look.

[You gain 1 point of political assets]

[Political Assets (1): Red Empire]

[You have made great contributions to the Red Empire and gained a certain amount of political influence. You can make suggestions to the Red Empire. Depending on the rationality of the suggestions, the Red Empire has a certain chance of adopting them]

[When you have a higher status in the Red Empire and interact with certain forces or characters, the cumulative efficiency of favorability is +30%]

[You have valuable experience. The efficiency of obtaining experience in all ways is +30%]

[Note: The condition for the above effects to take effect is that the relationship between the Red Empire camp remains [Reverent]]

"Hey, I thought there were only legendary rewards and no political assets." Han Xiao was startled and then realized that this was probably an additional reward triggered by Ulan Riel's attention.

However, it is not easy to keep this political asset effective. He needs to spend his camp's contribution points to exchange for ultimate knowledge, which means that his contribution points are guaranteed to be no less than 6,000 points, which is a 50% discount on the cost of exchanging an ultimate knowledge.

Han Xiao looked at the next prompt and raised his brows.

[You gain 10,000 red empire contribution points]

[You gain an additional 5,000 red empire contribution points]

"I only got the contribution points after talking with Ulan Riel..." Han Xiao pinched his chin. He had an NPC panel and could reward Black Star Legion members' contribution points at will. As the leader of the camp, Ulan Riel has the same principle.

, but Ulan Riel is just unconscious.

10,000 contribution points are the gain from this battle, and the extra 5,000 points are probably due to the contribution he made to Di Lun. Adding the more than 3,000 empire contribution points he saved, it is more than 18,000 points.
