The flowing light particles formed an endless shuttling channel in front of him, extending infinitely. There was only a light spot at the end. Time and space were pulled into an infinitely long line in his senses. He did not know how much distance had been crossed, nor did he know how much time had passed, but it also felt like only a moment had passed.
Countless bizarre scenes flashed past outside the tunnel. Their bodies floated as if they had turned into a puff of smoke. For a moment, they could not feel their bodies. All the senses they used to explore the world were messed up. But in the next moment, all their senses returned to normal. Their vision suddenly changed, and they were already here.
He had arrived at a new space.
Endless black fog filled this place, and red lightning occasionally flashed in it. It was like a storm cloud brewing lightning, but also like a volcanic eruption. It was a doomsday-like scene.
A black mountain range, flowing with lava-like scarlet light, floated in the middle of the black fog like a rootless floating island. The peak in the center was steep and tall. A rusty dark golden chain wrapped around it, forming a spiral pattern, connecting it to a platform that looked like a black crystal floating in the air. On the platform sat a black figure as huge as a mountain. Countless red eyes turned in unison, looking down at them.
"Oh, this kind of scene is probably going to drop my SAN value."
Han Xiao took a look and smacked his lips. He admired the scenery of this secondary dimension with interest and took a photo as a souvenir. Otherwise, if they fought later, he might accidentally crush this place.
Looking up at the mountain-like figure, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
"You're the Realmless King?"
It had to be said that this guy's appearance was quite frightening. At first glance, ordinary people would probably be shocked to the point of losing their minds and triggering a deep-rooted fear of giant creatures. However, Han Xiao was used to seeing big waves, so this kind of scene did not have any impact on him at all. The shock was far inferior to the fleet volley during the interception battle.
"Yes, I was waiting for you, Black Star," the Realmless King slowly replied.
"You know me?"
Han Xiao was a little surprised. He looked down at the Bobanica in his hand and remembered that he had not reported his name … Could it be that my name has already spread from the main universe to the depths of the secondary dimensions? How could he be so impressive?
"I know why you're here. You want to take away this fleet and this intelligent creature called Harrison, right? I learned about the situation of your civilization from their memories. "
The Realmless King sat still, but a black fog in the sky suddenly moved away, revealing a fleet. It was the missing expedition team of the three Universal Civilizations. However, it was only shown for a moment before the black fog covered it again, making it impossible to sense it.
The unconscious Harrison flew up from the platform and hovered in front of it.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed, but he was not in a hurry to make a move. He asked curiously, "So that's how it is. Then why are you waiting for me here?"
The Realmless King did not answer immediately. He said slowly, "I usually digest the prey I catch immediately, but I learned your name from their memories. To be honest, I'm very afraid of high-level life forms like you from the main material universe. Because of your existence, I didn't eat them immediately."
"You're quite calm."
Han Xiao sized up the Realmless King and was a little surprised.
Your cowardice saved you, baby!
Just because you knew about my backer from the memories of Harrison and the others, you didn't dare to attack the expedition team … It seems like I'm still very intimidating.
Seeing that the other party was giving him face, Han Xiao's expression softened a little. He stretched out his hand and smiled. "In that case, I don't mind making friends with you. Let him go first."
The Realmless King shook his head. "I didn't say I would return him to you."
Hearing this, Han Xiao paused.
"You don't want to provoke me, and you don't want to return him, so what do you want to do?"
"I want to make a deal with you."
"A deal? Although you didn't eat these people, you were the one who captured them. I don't owe you any favors, and you want to use these people as bargaining chips? I think it's very difficult. "
Han Xiao stood with his arms crossed and replied casually.
The Realmless King slowly said,
"No, my bargaining chip is the information about the three Universal Civilizations in their memories. You guys are fighting the World Tree, and I believe the World Tree will definitely like this information. I can follow the clues to your secondary dimension territory, and I happen to have a way to contact the World Tree's Blessed Race."
This news was unexpected. Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately put down his hands. His smile disappeared, and his face became expressionless.
"Threatening me? Are you tired of living? "
"It's not a threat, it's just self-defense. Even if you agree to the deal with me, I'm afraid that after I return him to you, you will take revenge on me. I don't have the confidence to win against you … With this trump card, I believe my safety will be guaranteed. This is the basis of the deal."
The Realmless King's tone was matter-of-fact.
"… You said you can contact the World Tree's Blessed Race. How can I believe you? You want to scare me with just a few words? It's not that I don't dare to bet. You got the nouns from their memories. Show me the evidence. "
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
The Realmless King did not mind and explained, "I understand what you mean.
"I understand what you mean, but I'm not lying to you. Although you and the World Tree are fighting in the main material universe, the secondary dimensions are actually their base camp. They have devoured one secondary dimension after another for countless years.
However, the secondary dimensions are endless, and the World Tree does not eat every single one it sees. The main method of expansion is to take root and imprint their mark on the secondary dimensions, turning them into territories and opening up the authority to travel quickly. They will not even interfere with some special secondary dimensions and mainly observe and study them.
At the same time, they sent out countless Blessed Race members to explore the outside world, spreading the name of the World Tree and communication channels. It's similar to what they did in the main material universe. One of the exploration teams passed by my peripheral territory, and one of my guardians learned a lot of information and reported it to me … "
As he spoke, the Realmless King shared a small portion of his memories through mental communication.
Han Xiao checked it and found that there were no signs of forgery. He did have the contact information of the World Tree's Blessed Race, and he felt a headache.
'This is a little troublesome … If we kill this guy, there's no 100% chance of preventing the information from leaking out. If the World Tree opens the secondary dimension battlefront, our situation will become even worse.'
Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he quickly calculated in his mind.
The World Tree's main body was rooted in the secondary dimension, and this was its territory. Although he had found the location of its main body in his previous life, if not for the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device landing in the hinterland and launching a surprise attack, it would have been almost impossible for him to pass through the secondary dimension defense circle near the World Tree's main body.
The three Universal Civilizations were still in a good situation. One of the main reasons was that the World Tree did not have the time to figure out the secondary dimension territory of the three Universal Civilizations like in his previous life. It did not open this battlefront, so the pressure was reduced a lot.
Seeing Han Xiao's expression change and killing intent appear, the Realmless King spoke again.
"You don't have to worry about me using this to blackmail you. With the abilities of high-level life forms like you, even if your civilization is destroyed, there's a high chance that you can escape. At that time, this trump card won't be able to continue protecting me … So, you can rest assured that I only want to make a deal with you. I won't force you to do anything excessive. As long as you don't attack me, there's no need for me to expose you. Trust me, no one is willing to take the initiative to deal with the World Tree."
The Realmless King's tone was sincere. Although he had something on him, he did not dare to ask for anything too excessive. He did not feel that this trump card could support him in doing whatever he wanted in front of the other party. In his opinion, he had only obtained the right to make a deal with the other party.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and looked at the Realmless King thoughtfully.
This Realmless King was a powerful dimensional god entity, and his name was very intimidating. However, he had always maintained a low profile in front of him. Although he had something on him, he was not tough. Instead, he was a little cowardly.
Han Xiao pondered for a few seconds and temporarily suppressed his hostility.
"… Tell me about your deal. What do you want me to do for you?"
"There are only two things. One is that after the battle breaks out, allow me to project my power and harvest the souls of some of the dead on the battlefield, as well as some damaged battleship wreckage. The materials of the main universe are quite valuable to us."
Are you trying to snatch business from the Underworld?
Furthermore, you're also collecting battleship wreckage. Are you an interstellar recycler?!
Han Xiao's expression became strange. He glanced at the slowly flowing black fog around him and felt that the impression of the Realmless King had suddenly become that of the Garbage Station Master. He instantly lost his cool.
"… What about the second thing?"
"I once had a special secondary dimension, but it was snatched away by another group of dimensional entities. They're very difficult to deal with, and I haven't been able to deal with them. I hope you can help me get it back."
Han Xiao smacked his lips and said, "I'm not sure.
"I can help you with these two things, but since you said that the method of snitching is to protect yourself and not to threaten me, then I won't use it as a bargaining chip. Also, the price you offered is not suitable. I need more."
"What do you want?" The Realmless King did not refuse to bargain.
"I need more information about the World Tree in the secondary dimension. Tell me everything you know. Also, I want some of that black substance for research. Finally … maybe we can work together to deal with the World Tree. They've been expanding in the secondary dimension and will reach your territory sooner or later. It's best to strike first," Han Xiao said slowly.
"I can agree to the first two points. As for dealing with the World Tree, forget it. I can't afford to offend them either. I'll just hide."
As expected, the Realmless King rejected him.
Han Xiao smiled.
"Don't be too afraid. The World Tree has the weakness of its main body. As long as its main body is destroyed, your threat will be removed once and for all. Isn't that good? Furthermore, it might even release a large number of souls as your food. "
Although Harrison and the others had been captured, causing the hidden danger of intelligence leakage, with Harrison's luck, he might be able to turn bad luck into good luck. On the bright side, this was also a chance to find out about the World Tree's forces in the secondary dimension from someone who knew about it.
Therefore, he did not attack. Instead, he was trying to see if he could pull in a new foreign aid. After all, he was once the successor of socialism, and it had become a habit to unite all the forces that could be united.
"It sounds very tempting, but I'm not sure if the main body really exists. Let's talk when you find it."
The Realmless King did not comment.
Seeing this, Han Xiao did not force him. He knew that the other party would not agree so easily, so he changed the topic.
At this moment, the interface suddenly moved, and a notification popped up.

Han Xiaoxin was curious.
