Ancient Star Desert, Holy Covenant's secret base.
A light flashed, and Han Xiao, who was wearing the King mechanical suit, was teleported to the exclusive Throne teleportation platform. Law and Fay were already waiting there.
"Your Excellency Black Star." The two of them greeted him.
"Where's Oathkeeper?" Han Xiao looked around.
"He's waiting for you in Destiny's Child's laboratory. It happened very suddenly. Please follow us."
The two of them did not say much and led the way. Han Xiao followed them all the way to their destination.
Walking into the laboratory, the room was full of busy operators. Han Xiao saw Destiny's Child locked in a transparent container and Oathkeeper standing next to the container at a glance.
At this time, Destiny's Child had already woken up from his deep sleep. His body was curled up and trembling non-stop. White noise-like spots kept flashing, like a projection when the signal was bad, becoming very blurry. Oathkeeper was releasing Soul Flame, seemingly comforting the other party.
The experimenters in the room were operating the instrument with sweat all over their foreheads, operating the Binding Field and Reality Anchor at full power.
"What's the situation now?"
Han Xiao came to the instrument and looked at the various parameters. He was curious.
Oathkeeper frowned.
"Destiny's Child has woken up and is in the midst of an Information State disturbance. The amplitude is the highest so far, almost breaking through the containment and transforming into a High-Dimensional Information State. It's not over yet."
"Have you found the reason?"
"I'm not sure yet. We can only communicate with him after he stabilizes."
Hearing this, Han Xiao snapped his fingers and summoned a set of Stability Anchors. He arranged them around to provide assistance. At the same time, he carefully sized up Destiny's Child. This was the first time he had seen his true body.
Every time Destiny's Child activated his ability, it would cause an Information State disturbance phenomenon, causing the birth of sub-bodies randomly throughout the universe. Rody, who had been receiving treatment, was one of the sub-bodies awakened after the last disturbance. He had already found a way to stop the transformation process.
At this time, Destiny's Child suddenly stopped trembling and turned to look at Han Xiao, as if he was observing curiously. He suddenly raised his hands and pressed them on the inner wall of the container, releasing a happy psychic wave. Everyone heard a burst of child-like laughter out of thin air.
Destiny's Child just stared at Han Xiao like this. Not long after, the flickering body gradually stabilized and returned to calmness.
Seeing this, Oathkeeper stopped what he was doing and looked surprised.
"How did you solve it as soon as you arrived? He seems to like you a lot."
"This is the first time we've met, aren't you being too unreserved … Speaking of which, why does your tone sound like you've been robbed of your love?"
"… What nonsense are you talking about?"
Han Xiao teased Oathkeeper, but he was also secretly surprised.
Destiny's Child seemed to have an inexplicable closeness to him. Could it be because of his [Primal Esper Ability Entity Affinity] and [Perfect Energy Affinity Constitution]?
This is possible. After all, the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy has thought that I'm handsome more than once and even wanted to take advantage of me …
Perhaps to Primal Esper Ability Entities, these two specializations were like the attraction of catmint to felines. No wonder Destiny's Child was fascinated by me the moment he saw me. Who told him to be so attractive to energy life forms?
Han Xiao muttered to himself for a while, then raised his hand and knocked on the container. Destiny's Child immediately imitated him, and the two of them happily interacted.
This scene made Oathkeeper feel a little annoyed.
In the past, Destiny's Child liked him the most, and he would personally take care of the daily comforting work. He did not expect that Black Star would only come once, and Destiny's Child, whom he had nurtured for many years, would immediately ignore him.
The most infuriating thing was that even before Black Star appeared, Destiny's Child had never been so close to him or so proactive …
It was clearly me … Never mind, let's not talk about this.
After looking at it sourly for a while, Oathkeeper finally spoke.
"Alright, no matter what the reason is, it's enough that it's stabilized. I'll ask it what's going on."
As he spoke, he pushed Han Xiao away, gathered Soul Flame, and communicated with Destiny's Child.
A few seconds later, the Soul Ripple spread out again, and Han Xiao heard Destiny's Child's intermittent words.
"I feel … the feedback of the sub-body … the convergence of information … threat …"
Following Destiny's Child's narration, chaotic and blurry scenes appeared in Han Xiao's mind.
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed. In these intricate images, he saw information about the World Tree, such as the image of the World Tree's roots stretching across the starry sky, or a group of people in robes surrounded by blue-green energy sitting on the ground and meditating.
Oathkeeper did not know about the existence of the World Tree, so he was confused.
"What are these?"
"Wait, let me ask a few questions …"
Han Xiao did not have the time to explain to him. He raised a few questions that did not make sense, and he quickly got a response.
After listening to Destiny's Child's answer, Han Xiao's thoughts raced as he pieced together the information and analyzed it.
Destiny's Child's sudden abnormal reaction originated from the World Tree. The two sides were entangled at the Information Form level, and it sensed that the World Tree was using a certain method to locate the explored universe.
The reason why it sensed it was because of the sub-bodies. The sub-bodies that it had produced were all randomly distributed in the entire universe. Not only the explored universe, but even the World Tree also had a portion of Destiny's Child's sub-bodies that had awakened the ability to foresee.
To Destiny's Child, these sub-bodies were equivalent to its eyes, ears, and antennae that collected information from the outside world.
Not long ago, the sub-bodies of the World Tree had activated their foresight ability. Because the medium was related to the information collection of the explored universe, the two sides had intersected. Because this was where the main body was, the warning mechanism was immediately triggered. Thus, Destiny's Child activated its ability to foresee and share the memories and vision of the sub-bodies.
During this process, Destiny's Child felt the threat of a natural enemy from the World Tree and even predicted the possibility of it being devoured by the World Tree. It almost wanted to transform into a High-Dimensional Information Form and escape, which was why it had reacted so abruptly.
"So, the World Tree is using foresight to sense the explored universe. The three Universal Civilizations have already exposed themselves?"
Han Xiaoxin's heart tightened.
As expected, as long as they came into contact, the situation would be irreversible, and they would soon notice each other. The World Tree Civilization was stronger than the three Universal Civilizations. Even the three Universal Civilizations in his previous life did not understand all the abilities and technologies of the World Tree. It was too idealistic to completely hide their tracks.
In his previous life, the three Universal Civilizations were beaten to a pulp. Even if they were lucky enough to win in the end, they did not completely understand the World Tree. The three Universal Civilizations were not clear about some of the special technologies that were not used in war, such as the Information Form Warning Network.
Because it was the World Tree that took the initiative to invade, the Information Form Warning Network used to prevent outsiders from spying on them was basically useless. Even the three Universal Civilizations did not know about it, let alone the players in his previous life.
"The only good news now is that the World Tree Civilization only sensed the existence of outsiders and did not have much information, so they used Information Form methods to search for them. As a result, they intersected and were detected by Destiny's Child …"
Han Xiao's thoughts raced.
Fortunately, Destiny's Child had scattered his sub-bodies all over the galaxy. Otherwise, he would not even know if he was discovered. He did not want to be caught off guard while he was still foolishly spying on the information.
Destiny's Child called the World Tree its' natural enemy '. One was a Primal Esper Ability Entity, and the other was a Space Wonder. Both of them had Information Form abilities, but their focus was different.
According to Destiny's Child's explanation, it could share the information of the sub-bodies' contact. Because the sub-bodies were connected to the World Tree, they could observe the overall movements of the World Tree Civilization in real-time to a certain extent. However, there was also the risk of being exposed.
Only when the sub-bodies actively used their foresight abilities and intertwined with Information Form could the main body use this as a disguise and take the opportunity to obtain the information the sub-bodies had. Otherwise, it would be easy for the World Tree to discover it.
Even so, Destiny's Child was probably the only low-risk channel to monitor the World Tree's movements. It was more convenient, secretive, and efficient than the three Universal Civilizations' detection methods.
Such an intelligence channel was a pleasant surprise, and there was no reason to ignore it.
Han Xiao thought for a while and said with a deep voice through the mental connection, "If you don't want to be devoured by the World Tree, helping us is the best choice. Only by eliminating the other party can we remove the threat once and for all. Otherwise, even if you escape far away, there will still be risks."
Hearing this, Destiny's Child's body shook, and his voice was ethereal.
"How … can I help you?"
"Under the premise of hiding yourself, monitor the other party's movements as much as possible and tell me everything."
"I … can."
Destiny's Child did not refuse. He suddenly clasped his hands together, and a small white ball of light separated from his body and floated in the container. It floated toward Han Xiao and stuck to the inner wall.
Han Xiao understood what he meant and raised his brows.
"This is for me?"
"Use it … to create sub-bodies … to extend my senses …"
In the mental connection, Destiny's Child explained the use of this ball of light.
When it activated its ability, it could give birth to sub-bodies in the entire universe, or it could also give birth to sub-bodies in a designated area. However, there was a precondition for the latter. It needed to use its own energy to encircle an area in advance and turn this area into an independent "information collection" before it could designate the birthplace of the sub-bodies.
To put it simply, this was like a horse race … or it could be said that it was like a dog peeing to mark the territory.
Just as Han Xiao finished listening to Destiny's Child's explanation, the interface suddenly had a notification.
You have triggered the mission [Destiny's Child's Help]!
Mission Introduction: Destiny's Child has a very good impression of you. Because it feels threatened, it has decided to ask you for help. Please do one thing.
Mission Requirements: Head to the designated location and use Destiny's Child's energy to circle an area large enough.
Reward: 120 billion EXP, + 25 Destiny's Child Favorability, 1 Random Reward, Milestone Talent – [Infiltrate the Enemy Camp]
[Infiltrate the Enemy Camp]: When you move in the enemy's territory, it will be harder for you to be noticed. At the same time, you will receive a 3% bonus to all stats.
"You want me to go to the World Tree Civilization?"
Han Xiao was stunned.
By limiting the birth range of Destiny's Child's sub-bodies to the World Tree Civilization's territory, the more sub-bodies there would be, the more information he would be able to obtain.
Although there was a time limit to the ability to mark the territory, it was calculated in years, which was enough for long-term use.
"It seems like I'm the only one most suitable for this kind of agile job. Looks like I'll have to ask the three Universal Civilizations to go to the World Tree Civilization …"
Han Xiao nodded.
He told Oathkeeper to temporarily open the container and took out the light.
As soon as he touched it, the light entered his palm and turned into an imprint that stored the energy that Destiny's Child had lent him.
"What's going on? What are you guys talking about? "
Oathkeeper had a puzzled look on his face as he continued to wonder.
Han Xiao thought for a while, pulled Oathkeeper to the side, and briefly explained the situation.
"You're saying that the three Universal Civilizations have discovered an even stronger unknown civilization?" Oathkeeper was surprised. He then understood the whole story. "No wonder the three Universal Civilizations gave in so much. So that's what happened."
"Keep this to yourself. It's not suitable to tell others for the time being. Remember to keep it a secret."
Han Xiao said with a deep voice.
With the ability of Destiny's Child, he naturally could not avoid Oathkeeper. Only by letting him know the truth and understand the importance of this matter would he cooperate.
In addition, Oathkeeper's character had been tested and was quite trustworthy, so there was no harm in letting him know.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
Oathkeeper's expression was serious. He suddenly paused and asked softly,
"You mentioned in the regular meeting that the three Universal Civilizations recognize the association's position, so we'll have to help at some point. Is this what you're referring to?"
Han Xiao nodded. "That's right. If a war breaks out, the association's members will have to participate in the war with all their strength to fight against foreign enemies. This is the deal. Plus, we don't have many choices, so I need you to prepare more Sanctum keys."
"… I understand your plan. I'll fully cooperate with you."
Oathkeeper exhaled.
If the Beyond Grade As fought with all their strength, they would probably suffer heavy casualties. Black Star most likely wanted to use this opportunity to show the truth of the unlimited Sanctum Revival. As someone who knew the truth, to him, this was indeed a very feasible plan.
Just as he was thinking, Han Xiao suddenly patted him on the shoulder in relief.
"Then do a good job. After it's done, the organization won't mistreat you."
Oathkeeper: "…"
Tsk, I was so busy digesting the information that I forgot to speak!
