Chapter 1426 Negotiations and lobbyists

  Han Xiao’s remote projection descended in the meeting room. With a glance, he already had a panoramic view of the manner in which the many leaders of the Transcendent star clusters were sitting in danger. He couldn’t help but smile and joked:

   "Everyone, what were you talking about just now, the atmosphere is so solemn."

   "What we are talking about is naturally how to deal with the invasion of the World Tree." The Star Arc leader said in a deep voice.

   "Really, but as far as I know, the army of the World Tree civilization does not seem to be harassing your territory. Most of your troops are still on standby." Han Xiao shrugged.

  "The entire interstellar society is the same enemy, as a whole, other areas encountering surprise attacks will also affect our safety. Under the premise of ensuring homeland security, we will naturally lend a hand." The leader of the Star Arc is righteous.

  Han Xiao's expression became more subtle, "This is really peculiar when you say this from your mouth."

   "The World Tree is invading, and we are already dead." The leader of the Star Arc nodded, his tone was solemn, and he pretended to be the same.

   "If you want to think this way, that's the best."

  Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, knowing that most of what the leader of Star Arc said at this time was scenes, not sincere.

   A Transcendent star cluster leader coughed, took the conversation, and asked:

  "Your Excellency Black Star, are you looking for us this time to discuss with us the invasion of the World Tree?"

  Han Xiao glanced at him and nodded, "You can say that, but it's mainly for you."

  Everyone exchanged their eyes secretly, and the leader of Star Arc groaned: "I hope you can make it clearer."

  Han Xiao raised his arm, stood with his arms folded, and said casually:

  "The World Tree invasion has become an established fact, and how much do you know about the cause of this incident?"

"We are not very clear about the inside story. The World Tree was originally blocked by the three major civilizations outside the borders of the Shining World. The situation is very stable, but the enemy suddenly launched a full-scale invasion. It should be some way to obtain our regional intelligence, but We don't understand how they did it." The Star Arc leader frowned and shook his head.

"I can tell you the inside story. This is not the initiative of the World Tree, but someone deliberately leaked information about the universe that has been explored and boldly communicated with the enemy. This behavior is like opening the door of the country and inviting the World Tree to come in, burn, kill, and looting!" Han Xiao said in a tone. Shen.

  The voice fell, and the complexions of the high-level members of the many superclusters in the constellation suddenly changed, and their eyes showed emotions such as surprise, amazement, and disbelief, which was shocked by the news.

  The star arc leader’s eyes flashed with shock, he added to his tone, and reaffirmed: "You mean, a traitor has appeared in the interstellar society?!"

   "Not bad." Han Xiao slowly nodded and whispered: "We are still investigating the identity of the traitor."

   There was a slight commotion in the room suddenly, and everyone whispered and talked.

  Star Arc Civilization was also quite confused, and murmured:

  "Being able to hand over the intelligence to the World Tree smoothly, it must have a good technical strength. In this critical situation, they chose to betray. What are they doing..."

  However, halfway through, he suddenly stopped, suddenly raised his eyes, and looked at Han Xiao who was expressionless in surprise.

  Many high-level executives also suddenly came back to their senses, all of them expected Han Xiao's true intentions, and their expressions suddenly changed.

  Wait, Black Star came to the door at this time and deliberately talked about this topic. Shouldn't we think that we are traitors who leak information? !

  It is true that our Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance and the three major civilizations have never dealt with them, and are the biggest suspects, but this matter really has nothing to do with them!

  "Are you doubting us?!" The Star Arc leader stared wide.

  Han Xiao looked around, did not answer directly, but called out a virtual screen, and said to himself:

"According to the information I found, you set up a plan called the'Great Migration' more than ten years ago. The specific content is probably to take advantage of the war and bring all the people and resources to leave the explored universe and find another land. . And the implementation of this plan requires an opportunity. Only when the three major civilizations are stuck in war with the world tree can you have a chance..."

  Only half of the words were said, and the expressions of the high-level members of many super clusters became more solemn.

They think this plan is rather secretive. The gathering of people and resources is nominally for war considerations, and on the surface it has reasonable disguise motives. At most they feel that they are staying behind for the defeat of the war, and they generally do not think of their plans. Run away.

"You already know...no wonder, with your skills, as long as you are suspicious of us, it is not difficult to find these things." The leader of Star Arc was taken aback, but when he thought of Han Xiao's ability, he accepted After realizing the reality, he said helplessly: "So you think we deliberately brought the World Tree into a full-scale invasion to disrupt the situation and facilitate evacuation?"

   "What do you mean?" Han Xiao tilted his head.

  Hearing this, everyone knew that Han Xiao’s trip was probably to come to Xingshi to ask the guilt, and they were all awe-inspiring.

  The leader of the Star Arc gritted his teeth and said: "I know you think we have a motive for committing crimes, but we did not do this. We are not traitors who leak information!"

Although they want to run away, they don’t want to turn their backs into ghosts. Otherwise, they will be targeted by the three major civilizations. The "Great Migration" plan will inevitably have many twists and turns. The three major civilizations will never allow them, the "traitor" to escape easily. .

   "What evidence do you have to prove that things were not what you did?" Han Xiao's tone was neither happy nor sad, so that everyone could not hear his emotions.

  Hearing this, the Star Arc leader's thoughts turned sharply, but his heart was in a state of confusion. He couldn't think of any reason... to prove that the matter has nothing to do with them, how much evidence is needed for this? !

  However, before he could answer, Han Xiao pressed on step by step and continued:

   "Maybe this is not what you meant, but can you guarantee that it was not done by any civilization in the room?"

  The leader of the Star Arc was taken aback, his face was unpredictable, knowing that Han Xiao was right, he could only guarantee that he was not a traitor, but he could not guarantee that there were no small actions in the civilization of other Transcendent star clusters.

  He slowly turned his head, with inquiry in his eyes, and looked at the other alliance members, but everyone understood what he meant, and they all spoke.

   "It's not me, I didn't do it!"

   "It's not me either, I don't know about it!"

   Soon, the star arc leader's gaze turned to the last person. He remembered that during a meeting some time ago, it was this Transcendent star cluster leader who proposed to help the world tree. The most suspected one.

  The head of civilization immediately became popular, "Look at what I do?! I didn’t do it! Everyone is prosperous, and I will not ignore the collective interests of the alliance!"

  The star arc leader gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked at Han Xiao, "You see, it has nothing to do with us..."

  Han Xiao did not speak, but tilted his head and looked at the Star Arc leader with an inexplicable look, his expression seemed to say that you were teasing me?

   Seeing this, the leader of Star Arc shut his mouth and his face was uncertain.

  He also knows that, just ask this question, and no one will admit it. It is ridiculous that everyone denies it together, and it is not convincing at all. No one knows whether the alliance members have lied.

  However, the Star Arc leader thought very clearly, whether it was something done by members of the Transcendent star cluster, they would never admit it, or they would become a “traitor”.

  Han Xiao squinted his eyes and increased his tone, "Don't say I didn't remind you, I'll give you another chance... Are you sure you did not do the thing?"

  The leader of the Star Arc was a little sweaty, and his tone was slightly eager, and said: "Black Star, we can't provide evidence for the time being, but things are really not what we did."

   "Okay, then I believe you."

"I hope you don't make arbitrary conclusions. If you keep staring at us, you will let the real traitor escape, I..." The leader of the Star Arc subconsciously said half of it before suddenly regaining his senses, raising his voice unconsciously, surprised. : "Wait, you believe it?!"

  He just racked his brains and prepared to spend a lot of words to convince Han Xiao. Unexpectedly, before he could use it, Han Xiao changed his tone and made him a little bit startled, as if he was running out of air.

  But at this moment, Han Xiao spoke again and said slowly: "However, I believe you are useless. It takes three major civilizations to believe in it. You have to find a way to prove your innocence."

"what do you mean……"

"Of course it is to stay and fight hard." Han Xiao spread his hands and said: "Think about it, now the three major civilizations are suspicious of inner ghosts. Once you leave, you will become a traitor. The only way is to abandon your so-called migration. Plan and concentrate on fighting the World Tree so that suspicion can be cleared."

  Hearing the words, many heads of Transcendent star cluster civilization stared.

  The leader of the Star Arc frowned, no longer panicked, and slowly said: "Your Excellency Black Star, I'm afraid this is your real intention, right?"

  He is not really a fool, and he suddenly realized Han Xiao’s real goal in this trip.

  Things have priorities. The Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance does not want to become a traitor, but the migration plan is even more important. They will not give up migration in order to prove that they are not a traitor.

  Even the Star Arc leader is still a little skeptical at this time. The so-called traitor suspicion is only a threatening excuse that Han Xiao came up with after finding out their migration plan.

Han Xiao didn't care, smiled lightly, and said casually: "Hehe, I know what you are thinking, the traitors are real, and the three major civilizations suspect that you are also true, but I didn't think the traitors were you from the beginning. ."

  "Why do you think so?" The Star Arc leader was a little curious.

"We have known each other for decades. I still understand the style of your decision-making class. Moreover, in your situation, the possibility of collaborating with the enemy is actually not high, but due to past history, you are most suspicious. It's like a mistake. My instinct tells me that the matter has little to do with you...Of course, this does not mean that you have no suspicion, and I cannot confirm whether you are doing the opposite."

  Han Xiao does not intend to eliminate all the pressure on the Transcendent star cluster, but a third party who did not disclose the exposure of [Bold Secret Explorer], only inferred that they have limited suspicion in personal name.

In fact, Han Xiao knew that the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance could not easily abandon the migration plan. This trip was intended to have a frank chat. At the beginning, he used the suspected traitor as an excuse to make an inquisitive attitude. The alliance became tense and understood the situation.

"It seems that even if the good situation is destroyed, you still remain sane and not dazzled by anger." The leader of Star Arc was a little complicated, nodded and said: "I really don't know about the traitor, but you let us abandon the migration plan. It’s impossible to stay to fight. Now that you have found the information, you should know what this plan means to us."

Han Xiao said, "The existence of the three major civilizations limits your development ceiling. Over the years, they have been using various excuses to suppress you and prevent you from entering the era of technological explosion. The top talents of the interstellar society, Resources have flowed into their pockets. With continuous accumulation, the gap between you has widened..."

"Yes! I think that when the exploration war just ended, the three major civilizations set the order, but they didn't have the power to beat all civilizations, but now? After so many years, they enjoy the top resources , Enjoying the greatest development dividend of the entire interstellar society, there has been a generational difference in the technology between us... Now we still have some resistance capabilities, but the longer the time, the greater the gap, sooner or later we will completely lose the competition with the three major civilizations. Qualification, then can only become a vassal."

  A Transcendent star cluster leader said in a deep voice, his tone of helplessness.

The leader of Star Arc nodded and added: "It is precisely because we have seen the distant future that we are still able to resist and constantly look for opportunities to change our destiny. Shining the world is an attempt, but it failed, and the current migration is It is a better opportunity and we will not give up."

"I understand your demands, really... but with all due respect, your approach is nothing more than chronic death. The coldness of your lips and teeth just floats on the surface, and you feel safe to leave the war zone. In fact, you have no way to escape. , After the world tree kills the three major civilizations, it will definitely find you. They have extraordinary abilities in information state..."

  Han Xiao explained in detail the information state ability of the World Tree to track the prey to ensure that everyone at the scene is aware of the real situation, then he paused and continued:

   "So, your only way to survive is to stay and join us to destroy the world tree civilization... This is a very simple multiple choice question. In this way, your development may not be free enough, but at least civilization can continue."

  Many Transcendent star cluster leaders looked at each other, believing in doubt, and discussing quietly.

The leader of Star Arc pondered for a while, and slowly said: "You have worked so hard to get us to put our troops on the battlefield. You even acted as a lobbyist yourself... Assuming that all you are telling are the truth, but I have a concern. , Need your answer."

"You said."

"Will the three major civilizations let us go so easily?" The leader of the star arc leaned forward and asked like a cannon: "Let me make it more clear. If we defeat the World Tree and win back peace, how can you guarantee? The three major civilizations will not be liquidated after the fact? How can we guarantee that they will not re-appropriate us as a'traitor', and they will justify their actions against us?"

  Everyone also stared at Han Xiao, their eyes forced.

  This is not the first time that the three major civilizations have used “unnecessary” tactics on them, so the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance has no hope at all for the so-called washing of suspicion. Is it a "traitor" or not? However, if they were labeled as "collaborating with the enemy" afterwards, they would almost never be able to stand up again, and they might even be wiped out.

"About this..." Han Xiao touched his chin, and said calmly: "If we win this battle and you haven't moved away, I can stand on your side so that the three major civilizations cannot use this Means, and I try to help you break the long-standing development restrictions of the three major civilizations, so that you don’t need to abandon your homeland, and you can get the opportunity to develop freely."

   "You?" The Star Arc leader squinted, "You may have such power, but why do you do this?"

"Don’t forget, war is a major reshuffle. The post-war landscape will inevitably be subverted. The three major civilizations are rarely weakened and lose control of us. This is a great time to change... In addition, helping you is also helping myself. Without the intrusion of foreign enemies, everyone is also the thorn in the eyes of the three major civilizations. We have a lot of room for cooperation."

  Han Xiao slowly said.

  The leader of Star Arc was unmoved, and said lightly:

   "It sounds good, but how can you guarantee that you won't regret it as before? You know, your reputation is not very good."

"I don't need to assure anyone." Han Xiao didn't pick up the problem at all, and said casually: "I just tell you which is the dead end and which is the way to survive, to help you analyze the interests and to give you a better choice. But I can’t make decisions for you after all.”

   "...What if we don't accept your suggestion?" The star arc leader said in a calm tone.

   "If you go your own way, I will express my regret. If we lose the armed forces of Transcendent star cluster, our pressure will be greater and the battle damage will be more exaggerated, but our winning rate is still high."

  Han Xiao rubbed his jaw, paused, and said softly:

  "As for you...what is the fate of the deserters who fled, do I need to say more? With me, you can find them no matter how far you run. Don't blame me at that time. I gave you a chance."

  The expressions of everyone changed, and they heard the naked threat.

"Black Star!" One of the leaders of Modo civilization opened his mouth and shouted, annoyed: "We know that you are very powerful. Perhaps no one is your opponent in individual mighty power, but you think that after entering the Super God level, you are really invincible? With your verbal words alone, you want to influence the joint decision-making of so many civilizations?!"

Han Xiao shook his head and said frankly: "No, where is the real invincibility in the world? The so-called invincibility is only invincibility in the current technological environment, and the world is developing dynamically. As the times change and civilization progresses, There will be more new technologies. Maybe one day, all the principles of the wonders of the universe will be discovered, and the Super God level will no longer be unsolvable. It is even possible to produce Transcendent A Grade and Super God Grade in batches. At the moment, I feel incredible individual achievements. , Will eventually be copied by collective civilization and fission will occur."

  Everyone was taken aback for a moment. They thought Han Xiao would refute, but they did not expect to agree with this statement in turn. They didn't know how to pick it up for a while, and thought that Han Xiao's move was to ease the atmosphere and withdraw the threat of talent.

  But the next moment, they knew they were wrong.

  Han Xiao glanced at everyone, his tone changed, and said coldly:

"But those are things that can happen a long time later, at least in the visible future...I am incomprehensible! You can treat my words as a threat or an ultimatum. In short, do it for yourself. Don't do it. Give me the choice that disappoints, otherwise I don't mind the extinction of the civilization of everyone here, by then you will know that I am more dangerous than the world tree!"

  The voice fell, and everyone in the room was silent.

  After a while, the Star Arc leader seemed to have made a decision and slowly spoke:

   "If the situation is as you said, we can temporarily shelve the relocation plan and use more troops to participate in the war, but if the loss is too large, we will definitely relocate and evacuate, even if you threaten us again, it will be useless."

  Han Xiao's expression returned to calm, and he nodded.

   "This is enough, I hope you don't break your promise, I will stare at you."
