An hour later, in the meeting room of the three Universal Civilizations' leaders.
Han Xiao's remote projection slowly entered the room, and he immediately saw the three old fellows with gloomy faces. Their gazes were like hooks, hanging on him.
"Yo, you're all here."
Han Xiao was not in a hurry at all and casually greeted them. After the relationship between the two sides fell to the freezing point, this was the first time he had been called for a meeting.
"Black Star! What exactly do you know! "
Marbruce's expression was extremely solemn. He was not in the mood to talk and went straight to the point.
An hour ago, the three of them were waiting for the dynasty's messenger to report on Black Star's attitude toward the three Universal Civilizations' peace agreement to see if they could stabilize the association. However, they did not expect to hear a piece of news that shocked them. Black Star actually revealed the secret of the wormhole directly.
The three of them were all stunned.
Where did Black Star find out that we had cracked the secret of the wormhole? Internal intelligence was leaked? Was there a mole?
If not for this reason, how did Black Star find out? Could it be that he already knew the secret of this set of wormhole data?
The amount of information contained within was too much!
Marbruce, Louis, and the Ethereal Pope were anxious.
Black Star had specially sent someone to pass the message. No matter what the situation was, it meant that Black Star had unexpected information. This was an important matter, and they could not be careless. The three of them urgently discussed for a while and decided to talk to Black Star. They sent out an invitation, which led to the current meeting.
"I know a lot."
Han Xiao glanced at the three of them and purposely revealed a meaningful expression. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He was not sure what was going on with the three Universal Civilizations, so he did not directly call out the name of the World Tree. Instead, he tentatively pointed out the information about the EsGod wormhole.
However, since he was called over for a meeting, Han Xiao knew that he had made the right bet. He had guessed the truth and was secretly glad that he had not made a fool of himself.
"You mentioned the wormhole data in EsGod's legacy. How much do you know about it?" Louis asked with a deep voice.
Han Xiao composed himself, glanced at him, and casually said, "You guys found a civilization on the other side of the wormhole, right?"
The three of them looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Marbruce frowned. "Where did you get your information from?"
"I know what you want to ask …" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "But I didn't steal your insider information."
Hearing this, the three of them became even more solemn.
Black Star indicated that the source of his information was not leaked by the three Universal Civilizations. In other words, he had long known the secret of the wormhole data and held unknown information in his hands.
Marbruce took a deep breath and let go of his reservations. He even lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Mr.
"I believe you are well aware of the nature of this matter. We hope you will tell us the truth. This is very important to the entire universe."
"Sure."
Han Xiao nodded. Since it had already happened, there was no point in hiding it now. It was time to talk openly. He had to let the three Universal Civilizations know the danger of the World Tree in advance.
"… This set of wormholes leads to a territory called the World Tree Civilization. It is an extremely powerful Universal Civilization that is fanatical about war and expansion. Decades ago, due to some reason, EsGod sent a doppelganger to attack me. In the end, the doppelganger fell into a wormhole during the battle and coincidentally discovered the World Tree Civilization. After that, EsGod sent someone to snatch this wormhole data and study how to find the coordinates of the World Tree Civilization. By chance, I became the only one who knew … "
Han Xiao hid the memories of his previous life and explained the matter in a different way. He emphasized the strength of the World Tree Civilization and basically told them everything he knew about the World Tree Civilization.
The three of them frowned and were filled with doubts.
Marbruce could not help but question, "Did EsGod tell you all this? Putting aside why EsGod only revealed the information to you, why do you know so much about the World Tree Civilization? This doesn't seem like EsGod has only been there once. "
"I understand your doubts."
Han Xiao nodded. This matter was not child's play. If he pushed everything onto EsGod, he would be able to expose the lie as long as he confronted EsGod.
If they did not have solid evidence, the three Universal Civilizations would not believe this information so easily.
However, he had already thought of a reason, which would allow him to have a closed-loop explanation for his detailed understanding of the World Tree Civilization.
"Actually … I have a relic from a civilization that was destroyed by the World Tree Civilization. It contains a lot of relevant information. My understanding of the World Tree Civilization is basically from this."
As he spoke, Han Xiao raised his hand and summoned the 3D projection of SWY-001. He then displayed the information he had prepared long ago on the virtual screen.
The expressions of the three of them changed, and they hurriedly browsed through it. The more they read, the more shocked they became.
SWY-001's memory device recorded the tragic state of the Karma Republic when it was invaded. It recorded the special war mode of the World Tree Civilization, which was extremely powerful. It also showed that the World Tree Civilization was a Universal Civilization that could not coexist. All of this proved that Han Xiao was not lying.
Without this treasure, even if Han Xiao could explain the source of the information, it would not be convincing.
This treasure really came at the right time …
Han Xiao sighed.
There was nothing much to say, just one sentence: Feidin was awesome!
After a while, the three of them finished reading the information, and shock remained in their eyes.
"The World Tree Civilization's method of devouring everything is the enemy of all intelligent civilizations. I didn't expect such a hunter to exist in the universe …"
Louis muttered to himself.
Marbruce felt a lingering fear and said in a low voice, "Luckily, we sealed EsGod in time.
"Luckily, we sealed EsGod early. If he attracted the World Tree Civilization, then …"
Halfway through his sentence, his expression suddenly froze.
At this moment, Marbruce suddenly remembered that the operation to seal EsGod seemed to have been facilitated by Black Star. It was all thanks to Black Star that they were not discovered by the World Tree.
Back then, Black Star was determined to seal EsGod no matter what. Could it be that he had already started his long-term plan at that time to secretly protect the explored universe from being invaded?
Marbruce was shocked. He looked up at Han Xiao and could not help but ask,
"Was this the reason why you asked us to hunt EsGod back then?"
"What else? Do you really think I have an irreconcilable hatred for him? "
Han Xiao clicked his tongue and asked casually.
Marbruce's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Han Xiao deeply. He could not help but feel admiration and gratitude, and the fear and suspicion in his heart were greatly diluted.
If not for Black Star's efforts, the galactic society might have already been invaded. Strictly speaking, the entire universe owed Black Star a favor.
However, Black Star had never revealed this matter and silently allowed this achievement to be buried in the dust of history. No one knew about his huge contribution.
Hiding his achievements and fame!
In Marbruce's heart, Han Xiao's image immediately grew.
Suddenly, the Ethereal Pope said with a deep voice,
"Black Star, you know the threat of the World Tree Civilization. Since you already knew about this information, why didn't you say anything?"
Han Xiao shook his head.
"I know you guys too well. If you knew that a powerful unknown civilization was occupying the unexplored universe, would you treat it as if it didn't exist? As long as you say it, it will cause the contact to be brought forward. It was the best choice to keep this secret by one person. If not for the results of your research on the wormhole data, I wouldn't have told you. "
The three of them were speechless.
Indeed, it was fine if they did not know, but if they knew about the huge threat of the World Tree, the three of them knew very well that they would definitely not sit back and do nothing. They would definitely follow the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand, just like now.
Detection was a two-way operation. Exploring the World Tree's information also had to bear the risk of being exposed. However, even so, from their standpoint, it was inevitable for them to make the first move. Otherwise, they would have to resign themselves to fate and wait for death.
How could they allow others to sleep soundly in their beds? With such a powerful enemy occupying the unknown universe, they could not sleep or eat in peace, afraid that they would be discovered one day and be invaded. There was no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Of course, taking the initiative to eliminate the hidden dangers was more in line with the needs of the three Universal Civilizations.
This was like an interference effect. If both sides did not know of each other's existence, they would still be able to live in peace and be two parallel lines that did not intersect. However, once they discovered each other, they would quickly interact.
"I admit that what you said makes sense …" Louis sighed. "But isn't this method also a form of wishful thinking? We're betting that the enemy won't discover us."
Han Xiao shook his head and did not say anything.
The reason he was so confident was that he knew when the World Tree would invade. However, there was no need to explain such things now, nor was it easy to explain. Even if he said it, the other party would still be skeptical.
At this moment, the Ethereal Pope frowned.
"However, how can we confirm that the information about this civilization relic is real and not fabricated?"
"Are you suspecting me?" Han Xiao glanced at him.
"I'm just being cautious, not targeting you." The Ethereal Pope waved his hand.
Louis thought for a moment and agreed. "Indeed, the source of the information you provided is very convincing, but the authenticity is still questionable … It's not that we're suspecting you, but we can't completely believe this information. Although it looks real, who knows if there's anything wrong with this civilization relic itself? We can't jump to conclusions …"
"Black Star, we'll use the information you provided as reference. The specifics will still depend on the results of the actual exploration," Marbruce said.
Tsk, the three of you are so troublesome!
Hearing this, Han Xiao curled his lips, but he was not surprised.
From the perspective of the three Universal Civilizations, it was only right to be cautious. After all, there was the possibility of fake information, just like what happened to the Kunde Race back then. Who knew if this information was fabricated 'bait'?
Han Xiao stroked his chin and slowly said, "This civilization relic still has signs of life, but it's in a deep sleep. If we wake it up, we should be able to get more information out of it."
He still had a related mission on him, and he had not awakened SWY-001 because he did not want to cause any trouble. However, now that he had confirmed that the three Universal Civilizations had come into contact with the World Tree in advance, this concern was basically eliminated. Therefore, Han Xiao did not mind awakening SWY-001 at this time.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then. This is very important … By the way, you'll help us, right?"
Marbruce nodded. Suddenly, he paused as he realized that they were still in a state of confrontation with the association.
The other two also realized this, and their expressions were a little uncomfortable.
The situation had changed, and they needed the association's strength instead. Not long ago, they wanted to settle the score with the association, but now, they were asking for their help. The three of them felt awkward and a little ashamed.
However, the three of them were in high positions, so they only felt awkward for a few seconds. They quickly adjusted their mentality and did not show anything on their faces, only staring at Han Xiao with burning eyes.
Han Xiao glanced at the three of them and smiled.
"The World Tree Civilization can't coexist with us. We're in a cold relationship, and no one can be independent. Everyone has a common enemy, and cooperation is the only choice."
"… It's great that you can understand this."
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Now, they needed to unite all their strength. They were really afraid that the Beyond Grade A Association would do something stupid at a time like this.
Seeing Black Star casually brush aside the conflict, the three of them could not help but recall the conflicts they had with the Beyond Grade A Association over the years, and their feelings were complicated.
Looking at Black Star's actions since he came to power, he had always been trying to maintain a balance and hope to get along peacefully. He had never taken the initiative to start a conflict.
In the past, the three of them thought that the association was stalling for time to accumulate strength, but now that they looked back, the three of them suddenly realized that there seemed to be another explanation for Black Star's actions … Was this not preserving their strength?
Due to various reasons, they had been suppressing and ostracizing the association, but Black Star had been restraining himself, maintaining a fragile balance like walking on a tightrope. While they were still struggling with their internal conflicts, Black Star had most likely already set his eyes on the World Tree Civilization and was preparing to fight against the external enemies.
Unfortunately, the leak of the Virtual Mutiny Virus made them decide to start a war, trying to start a full-scale war and settle the score …
"I almost couldn't turn back!"
The three of them were shocked, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on their backs. They were very glad.
Fortunately, they had stopped at the critical moment. If they had really fought, it would have destroyed Black Star's good intentions and damaged the strength on their side.
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at Han Xiao again with complicated gazes. There was guilt and apology, but also gratitude and admiration.
"I misunderstood him …"
After knowing the real motive, the three of them felt like they had gotten to know Han Xiao again.
Black Star's image in their hearts suddenly became vivid. The three of them felt like they were seeing the back of someone walking alone, carrying a burden that no one knew about, trying to eliminate conflicts, but no one understood his true intentions …
"Black Star … your contribution to this universe is worthy of being called great."
This thought flashed through Marbruce's mind, and he secretly praised and admired him. At the same time, he felt that it was a pity, and he had the same thought as Uranril.
How great would it be if Black Star was a direct descendant of the dynasty …
The prejudice of the past melted like snow. At this point, continuing to fight was a foolish thing to do. The three of them knew that Black Star had already shown his goodwill, and it was time for them to express their stance.
The three of them looked at each other, understood what each other meant, and slowly nodded.
Marbruce coughed, looked at Han Xiao seriously, and said solemnly, "I'm representing the Global Civilization.
On behalf of the three Universal Civilizations, I officially invite you to be the Special Security Advisor again. Are you willing? "
