It looks like Han Xiao will use Nero's advanced luck glow to fish around for lots of opportunities with this advanced civilization.
However, while there might not be any universal treasures during this phase, based on Han Xiao's inability to make one himself, maybe there'll be a way to get his hands on a gold blueprint? 🤔
I bet the 'someone else pulling the strings in the background' will either be Limitless or one of the other Universal Civilizations. Maybe Thousand Shadows even?
