The Legendary Mechanic

Ca ......

Han Xiao opened the cabinet, took out an unopened box of Red Empire special supply cigarettes, tore open the package, took out a black cigarette wrapped with a broken gold pattern, wiped his finger, the spark of electricity flashed, lit it up, took a puff in his mouth, and slowly smoked.

Since entering the interstellar, Han Xiao basically quit smoking, has not tasted smoke for nearly a hundred years, but today it is a long time ago to light up a cigarette.

This is not an easy choice, if home is the current iteration of the real universe, then once the dark side of the universe returns, it will be like a turtledove's nest, with a flood of countless powerful civilizations sweeping across the stars. Han Xiao doesn't know if there is any advanced civilization in the current iteration of the real universe, because his hometown is only a surface-level civilization that cannot explore the universe in its entirety, but his hometown, as an information interface, will certainly bear the brunt of the change.

The only thing we can be sure of is that it will never be able to develop freely again, and will be subject to the interference of higher civilizations, just like the various small and surface civilizations in interstellar society.

The only thing is, the three major civilizations that have already carried out four iterations of the dark side, have already half-stepped into the real universe, and are just one step away from the door, they have a chance to truly survive the Great Reboot, which is the ultimate dream that has been handed down from one ultimate civilization to another for countless iterations, and now that they have the ability to help them succeed ...... they are going to sit back and watch the real - the three major civilizations. Civilizational Efforts Wasted? Or is it to give them a final boost?

Although Han Xiao is struggling, in fact, he knows he already has an answer in his heart ...... to reveal the information of the sanctuary to the three major civilizations, is to help him make up his mind, do not turn back.

This is a great work of countless iterations of succession, and it's a great honor to be one of them. In addition, it also hinges on the survival of a universe ...... The time spent in interstellar society has long exceeded the length of one's life in the real universe, and it's certainly impossible to say that one has no feelings for interstellar society.

Moreover, with Han Xiao's current experience, he felt that the possibility of his hometown becoming the ultimate civilization of the current iteration was extremely slim, and perhaps even becoming a galaxy-level civilization was an extravagant hope with a bleak future.

In the middle of the twenty-first century, before he entered the Dark Side, the social problems in his hometown were already acute, like an overloaded train that had been running for many years, with all kinds of breakdowns coming one after another.

Due to the complex geopolitical situation, civilization was wasting the precious "resources of the land of birth" and using them inefficiently. There are many problems that can only be minimized by solving them before entering the interstellar age, but back home, the collective will to form an efficient civilization at a low level of technology was not there, and once that opportunity was missed, it was hard to see it again. As the saying goes, the smaller the ship, the harder it is to turn it around, and the larger the ship, the more difficult it is to make changes, and the slightest disturbance could lead to an internal crisis that would destroy the entire civilization.

Although there may be opportunities for the hometown in the future, but according to the trend before Han Xiao entered the dark side of the universe, the hometown's development direction, when analyzed on the scale of civilization and the universe, is really stormy and fragile, so after the birth of the virtual network in his previous life, it soon became a haven for countless people to escape reality.

According to this trend, the final result of the hometown may be the natural disappearance, or the elimination or capture by the unknown foreign civilization, in his eyes, most of the hometown of the field, do not have the qualifications to grow into the universe hegemony ...... unless there are no competitors.

But due to the existence of the Sanctuary, this is obviously unlikely.

So Han Xiao felt that since it was difficult for his family to be the "winner" of a single iteration, when the transformation of the dark side of the universe was completed, it brought with it the risk, as well as a successful solution to survive the great reboot, and countless resources and technologies.

The current iteration of the ultimate civilization may not have grown up yet, and the three major civilizations will probably replace it and rule it for a long time, which is somewhat unfair to the current iteration of the civilization, but in this regard, civilizations will not be humble, and it is difficult for the weak to choose their own destiny ...... Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that a powerful civilization already exists in the real universe, but the level of the civilization back home is too low to know.

In addition, Han Xiao felt that his arrival in the Dark Side Universe seemed to be the work of the three major civilizations, and he should perhaps return the favor.

"In the end, I still have selfish intentions ......"

Han Xiao squinted his eyes and suddenly shook his head and lost his smile, his tone somewhat self-deprecating.

He had never considered himself to be an impartial person. In addition to these big picture concerns, the driving force behind his choice to transform the Dark Side Universe was his personal interest.

He seems to have run out of luck in becoming a randomly selected "Stable Interference Bridge," and if he had just stood by, the Dark Side universe would have gone through another cycle of reboot, which may not have had much impact on the place. But in the next iteration of the Dark Side, the Dark Side Universe will pull in a new real state carrier and become the new "Stable Interference Bridge" to replace itself.

Because of his special identity, Han Xiao could not guarantee that he would become a member of the cyclic development trajectory of the Dark Side Universe after the Dark Side iteration. The "small reboot" of the Dark Side Universe may still make him disappear ...... rather than saving the Dark Side Universe, his choice is more like saving himself.

So, this may be the only chance, Han Xiao does not want to gamble.

"Hoo ...... So that's what a full-blown invasion is?"

Thinking of this, Han Xiao's mind was sure, no longer swallowing clouds and mist, backhandedly put out the cigarette that had only burned one third in the ashtray, without hesitation.

......

A few days later, a military zone in the Central Star Ocean.

Three small spaceships were hovering outside the space fortress, ready to deploy.

In the military command tower on the side, the remote projection of the three heads of civilization stood in front of the window, staring closely at the three ships outside, looking nervous and expectant, while the operators in the room were debugging parameters in front of an instrument.

At that moment, Han Xiao's remote projection appeared in the room, causing the three of them to turn their heads.

"How are the preparations going?"

"We've filled the sanctuary key into the synthesizer according to the way you provided it to open the sanctuary, and we're just waiting to actually use it." Mablus immediately returned.

Han Xiao nodded, "What about the people who will enter the Sanctuary?"

Louis said in a deep voice, "We have all selected a ship's worth of elite and reliable loyalty, with Olu leading the way on my side and Clotilde leading the way in the Red Empire."

Han Xiao looked at the head of the Void Spirit Sect, "What about you? With Wuornos in the lead?"

"I was going to let Wuornos into the Sanctuary, but he happened to leave some time ago, so I didn't choose him and found another firstborn." The Void Spirit Patriarch shook his head.

"...... is it, then the timing of his departure is really unfortunate."

Han Xiao's expression was somewhat subtle.

Due to the reason that sanctuary authority needed to be accumulated, I don't know if the Void Spirit Sect would let him become a sanctuary explorer again when Wuornos returned ......

Well, he missed out on a great benefit again, always feeling like anything good would be lost to him, this guy is old and unlucky.

Louis saw Han Xiao didn't say anything, and spoke up; "If it's okay, then we'll start?"

"Do it, I'll just watch from here." Han Xiao nodded.

On hearing this, Mabulus nodded and ordered in the command channel.

Soon, the military fortress emitted several rays of light that converged in mid-air and slowly transformed into three sanctuary channels - the sanctuary keys provided by Han Xiao led to different sanctuaries, which now opened together, exactly one for each of the three major civilizations.

Han Xiao had seen this kind of scene many times before and did not have any reaction, but the heads of the three civilizations stared out of the window with wide eyes, staring at the changes in the scene, as if they wanted to remember all the details of the creation of the sanctuary channel by heart.

In the next moment, the three ships started up and drove into different sanctuary passages, then the light of the sanctuary swirled and contracted, and suddenly disappeared from everyone's view.

It was only at this moment that the heads of the three civilizations relaxed their tense feelings and breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with anticipation and apprehension, fearing that the three teams' trip to the sanctuary might have been unplanned or that they might not have brought back the information they wanted.

"The first time they entered the Sanctuary, their permissions were very low, the time flow gap was huge, and it would take them a long time to return."

Han Xiao explained in an aside.

Mabulus nodded absent-mindedly, suddenly remembering something, turned to Han Xiao and said.

"Since it will take a long time for them to come back, we shouldn't wait in the meantime, we should simply use it to solve some urgent problems."

Han Xiao raised an eyebrow, "What are you going to get?"

Mabruce intoned: "Originally we wanted to wait until the interstellar society regains most of its strength before launching military operations against the Star League, but the information you brought with you has subverted our strategic planning, so I think it's better to solve this potential problem before it's too late ...... But we alone can't solve the war in the most efficient way, so ......".

"So you want to ask for my help?" Han Xiao's eyes narrowed and picked up on the other man's words.

"That's what I meant." Mabulus nodded quickly.

Han Xiao turned his head to look at the other two, "Are you guys thinking the same thing?"

"I also hope that His Eminence the Black Star will be able to lend a helping hand."

Louis and the head of the Void Spirit Church frankly nodded their heads.

Since knowing the truth of the universe iteration, their mentality is quite patronizing ...... everyone is a grasshopper on the same line, helping each other is to help themselves, they are no longer as reserved as before, just like to directly hug Han Xiao's thigh and call him father.

"...... You guys are really rude, I'll study it."

The corner of Han Xiao's mouth smoked as he watched the hob like looks of the three men.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but then again, in the current situation, if the Star Alliance was not settled as soon as possible, there would be more uncertainties in the plan of transforming the Dark Side Universe, which was really not good.

Han Xiao thought about it and slowly said.

"It would certainly be best if the problem was solved with less bloodshed, and hopefully my meddling will help them come to terms with reality more quickly ......"
