In the bright starry sky, Han Xiao's figure was rapidly flying.
"So that's how it is, the Information Form Warning Network …"
Thinking back to the information he had just received, Han Xiao's expression was solemn.
Barbani had told him a lot of secrets, including the Information Form Warning Network, High-Dimensional Information Vision, and other methods. Han Xiao finally knew how the other party had discovered him, and he could not help but have a headache.
Unless one had Information Form technology that surpassed the World Tree, this kind of detection method was almost unsolvable. No wonder the three Universal Civilizations were exposed so quickly. It was indeed difficult for outsiders to move an inch in the World Tree Civilization's territory.
As for him triggering the warning network, it should be because he had observed the khaki planet and the roots of the World Tree beside it at a close distance when he was calibrating the navigation device. As an outsider, he had interacted with the information collection of the World Tree Civilization, so he was detected. That was why the Holy Tree Emissary came to check and used the High-Dimensional Information Vision to track the traces he had left behind. Even with the Destiny's Child mark, it was not easy.
It was as if he had an extremely strong sixth sense. If anyone looked at him, he would be able to sense the direction of their gaze and which part of him they were looking at.
"This won't be easy. I probably won't have the chance to complete the mission this time …"
Han Xiao thought to himself as his mind spun.
The most important thing was the Information Form Warning Network. As long as the alarm was not triggered, even if he left traces behind, the World Tree would not be able to detect it immediately. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, now that he had been discovered, the World Tree Emissary could follow the traces all the way. Under such circumstances, if he used the energy of Destiny's Child to enclose the land, he was worried that he would be discovered by the High-Dimensional Information Vision. It would not even be convenient for him to leave the Throne behind.
According to the mechanism of the Information Form Warning Network, it was not impossible to avoid it. As long as he had the consciousness to avoid the information exchange and only flew in the universe without coming into contact with anything related to the World Tree, he could still hide … Just like when he had just teleported over, there was no information entanglement, so the World Tree did not discover him.
However, this was easier said than done. At the very least, the alarm had already been triggered this time. There was basically no chance for him to hide now.
As for the other secrets, Barbani also told him some. Some of them were already known to Han Xiao, and some were unknown to him.
Among them, what he valued the most was the World Tree's remote sensing of the location of external information. The more people knew about it, or the deeper the entanglement between the two sides, the direction of the explored universe would be exposed. This was not good.
"Although the three Universal Civilizations concealed the information, in order to explore in secret, they still let some people know about this … If we don't take further measures to keep it a secret, the number of people who know will only increase."
Han Xiao's eyes twitched.
The more he knew, the easier it was to be sensed. The World Tree's anti-tracking ability was too troublesome.
Unfortunately, there were no coordinates of the World Tree's main body in this information. According to Barbani, he had never read any related information in the mental network. None of the Holy Tree Emissaries and other upper echelons he had come into contact with knew about it.
Even so, the value of this information exceeded all the results of the previous exploration. It was probably the biggest gain of this trip. Only by knowing the various methods of the World Tree could they take countermeasures.
"Fortunately, the virtual purification is effective. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to obtain these secrets."
Han Xiao thought to himself that he was lucky. The information he had now surpassed what he had in his previous life.
After seeing Barbani's determined actions, he realized that the effect of the virtual purification might be beyond his expectations. There were many outsiders who had been devoured and assimilated by the World Tree. If everyone had a similar awareness, they could all become potential spies. Whoever was chosen would become a traitor.
Although the World Tree would definitely target this move after being on guard, once someone 'lost control', it would immediately rewrite their thoughts and cause the duration of the virtual purification to plummet. However, no matter how bad it was, it should still have time to self-destruct. This way, the foreign experts devoured by the World Tree might not be able to be of any use.
However, the World Tree experts would not die completely. Once they died, they would turn into seeds and return to the World Tree, falling into a deep sleep. The World Tree could consume resources and time to mature, allowing it to wake up and revive. The mechanism was somewhat similar to the Underworld, but there were subtle differences.
The foundation of the Underworld Hero Spirits' existence was the soul. By obtaining a physical body, they could recover their combat strength when they were alive. As long as the Hero Spirits existed, it did not matter if their bodies died because they were still 'alive'.
The revival mechanism of the World Tree was different. It was an ability of the Information Form domain, and every individual was unique. Due to the connection of the World Tree, the information was refreshed in real time. When an individual died, they would not maintain their consciousness like the Hero Spirits. Their thoughts would be as silent as if they had truly died. They would enter a dormant period and turn into a 'seed'. Only the World Tree would replenish their nutrients and wake them up.
In this regard, the World Tree was similar to the Sanctum Revival. However, the Sanctum Revival only needed to open the Sanctum and did not need to consume additional resources or time. As for the World Tree, this process required a large amount of resources and time to revive an individual. This meant that as long as they died, they would not be able to revive in a short period of time.
This made Han Xiao think of the 'Barracks' in the old real-time strategy games in his previous life. The production of units required a channeling time, and the stronger the units, the longer the channeling time.
"The revival principles of the World Tree and the Sanctum are both related to the Information Form, but there is the principle of uniqueness. What will happen if I use the Sanctum to revive the World Tree experts first? Will the connection still exist? "
Han Xiao could not help but be curious.
If possible, the Sanctum Revival might be able to continuously snatch away the experts controlled by the World Tree, causing the strength of both sides to decrease.
However, the possibility of failure could not be ruled out. After all, the individual and the World Tree were in a symbiotic relationship. Even if the individual died, as long as the World Tree that preserved the individual's Information Form template still existed, the 'dead' individual might be judged as still alive by the Sanctum. That way, they would not be able to revive and would be enslaved forever.
Furthermore, based on the World Tree's mechanism, Han Xiao even suspected that the World Tree was like the previous master of the Underworld and had intercepted the Information Form of the experts under him. If they did not enter the Sanctum, they would not be able to revive.
"I can only guess at the moment. I'll only know if I try it myself … Hmm, but it's not convenient to take the risk now."
Han Xiao pondered.
Barbani was dead, and he did not know if the information he revealed could be considered a medium. Han Xiao did not want to take the risk of using the Sanctum Revival for the time being. If the connection of the World Tree was not broken because of this, there would be many more risks. This could be tested after the war broke out. At that time, he would not be afraid of exposing his coordinates.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Han Xiao's mind. He digested the new information he had obtained before opening the interface to take a look.
The mission [Nowhere to Hide] that he had triggered earlier had been completed, and he immediately settled it.
A notification popped up on the interface, showing that he had obtained 210 billion EXP, two Random Reward chances, and a Barbani Character Summon Card. It was an offensive skill and was not of much use to him.
Other than that, there was also a notification that the Favorability of the World Tree faction had decreased greatly. At the same time, a new mission had been activated.
You have triggered the emergency mission [World Tree's Wrath]!
Mission Introduction: Your actions have angered the World Tree. It views you as a huge threat and has decided to pursue you on a large scale to eliminate you.
Mission Requirements: Deal with the pursuers and escape from the territory of the World Tree Civilization.
Reward depends on the Mission Rating. Mission Rating depends on the resistance to escape.
"Heh, I really stirred up a hornet's nest."
Han Xiao smacked his lips.
It seemed like the virtual purification had left a deep impression on the World Tree and treated him as its number one threat. As long as he was discovered, the other party would relentlessly pursue him.
The mission itself was very simple. If he wanted to escape, he could just use the King to evacuate. However, the evaluation depended on the resistance. If he completed the mission so easily, he would probably get the lowest evaluation.
There was no chance to complete the mission this time, so he could only come again next time. However, Han Xiao thought for a while and did not plan to retreat immediately.
Since he had been discovered, he might as well use the virtual purification to get more information. At the same time, he could kill some World Tree experts and make them return to their seed state, temporarily reducing the high-end combat strength of the World Tree. Unfortunately, he did not know what would happen to the connection between the World Tree and the individual after the Spacetime Amber sealed the target. He did not dare to take the risk, afraid that he would be remotely located after taking the amber away.
"However, this is the enemy's base after all. There are many strong people here, and there are many factors that can threaten me. If I'm too reckless, I'm afraid I'll fail."
Han Xiao composed himself and took out bombs that were specially used to remove traces. As he sped along, he set them up.
This kind of bomb could remove all traces of conventional information other than High-Dimensional Information Forms, making it impossible for the Information Form Camera to track them.
Although the Information Form Camera could not detect High-Dimensional Information Forms to begin with, setting up these bombs could expand the area that the World Tree troops could not detect, which was beneficial to him.
…
At the same time, behind Han Xiao, a huge fleet was chasing after him.
In the command room, a group of Beyond Grade As looked out of the window, using the power of the World Tree to illuminate the high-dimensional information traces.
"The outsiders have started to remove traces on a large scale. The other party has already found out about the existence of the camera from Barbani. This is very likely a targeted measure … Mobilize more people to search the area to prevent the outsiders from leaving anything behind."
The tall figure standing at the front spoke slowly. His tone was indisputable. Everyone else present looked at him as their leader.
Tedrian, the Nine Leaf Executive Officer, was in charge of this pursuit. He was the person with the highest status present.
The World Tree had five Great Tree Kings, and each Tree King had two Executive Officers as assistants, ranked from One Leaf to Ten Leaf.
The Tree Kings were usually in a deep sleep, absorbing the power of the World Tree to strengthen themselves. Therefore, these Executive Officers were the highest officials in charge of handling the affairs of the World Tree Civilization. Not only did they have high authority, but they also had strong personal strength. None of the Executive Officers were lower than peak Beyond Grade As.
Other than him, there were other peak Beyond Grade As in the room.
"It's easy for the other party to escape if we just chase after them. I've already informed some Holy Tree Emissaries to ride the roots to intercept them."
This was a high-level Holy Tree Emissary. He had a deeper connection with the World Tree and stronger personal strength, far beyond what Barbani could compare to.
"There seems to be only one outsider. He's very strong, at least at the level of an Executive Officer. Be careful not to let him break through."
Another person spoke. This time, it was an Ancestor Spirit. This identity was usually in charge of matters related to faith.
The person who spoke was not an ordinary Ancestor Spirit but a member of the 'Thirteen Ancestor Spirits'. This represented the strongest thirteen of the Ancestor Spirits, and their strength was at least at the peak of Beyond Grade A.
"Don't worry, His Excellency Tree King has been paying attention. If the situation isn't right, he will personally descend," Tedrian said coldly.
He then looked back and said, "Barbani has been bewitched.
"Babani was bewitched by someone. This time, those who are with me are all strong-willed. I hope you can resist the strange bewitching methods of the outsiders."
Hearing this, everyone present nodded.
After being subjected to a virtual purification, although the World Tree did not know the principle, it felt threatened when it saw Barbani's performance through the mental network.
To be on the safe side, the people sent to chase after them this time were all individuals loyal to the World Tree. There were no 'outsiders' who had their minds rewritten.
