You've misunderstood. This is my child. It's just that there are some mutations. "
The Realmless King pretended to be calm.
Keep pretending, keep pretending!
Han Xiaoxin snorted and ignored him. He turned to look at the item introduction on the interface.
[Pivotal Snake Egg]
[Pivotal Snake, also known as the World Swallowing Snake, is a rare species that lives in spatial turbulence. It is an extremely rare creature that lives alone and feeds on secondary dimensions and special Information Form phenomena. Every World Swallowing Snake will only lay eggs seven times in its life. After giving birth, it will abandon it in the space storm and allow the eggs to drift. When it encounters a secondary dimension, it will automatically parasitize and transform into an embryo state. It will absorb multiple secondary dimensions until it is completely mature. At the same time, the Pivotal Snake Egg has an extremely strong attraction to some secondary dimension life forms. It is very beneficial for the larvae to eat it, and there is a certain chance of strengthening their innate abilities and increasing their life level.
Note: The origin of this species is closely related to the World Tree. It can eat the World Tree's main body and has a certain degree of restraining effect.
The item introduction was not long, but the information revealed shocked Han Xiao.
The Pivotal Snake was like the Space Lice back then. It was not in the database of the three Universal Civilizations, and it had never been discovered in his previous life. It was also an unfamiliar species to him.
What surprised Han Xiao the most was that this creature was actually related to the World Tree. The item introduction even specifically stated that it was the nemesis of the World Tree to a certain extent, which surprised him.
The World Tree was a Space Wonder with a unique nature, but there just happened to be a creature that could restrain it. Could it be that everything had a weakness?
Perhaps the Pivotal Snake was a companion species of the World Tree in a sense, specially born to restrain it? If he thought deeper, what was the cause of the World Tree …
All of a sudden, all sorts of guesses flashed through Han Xiao's mind, but he had no idea.
However, there was one thing he could confirm. If not for the item introduction on the interface, he definitely would not have been able to discover the uniqueness of this embryo. Furthermore, the Realmless King claimed that this was its child, so it was not easy for him to study it further. It would be difficult for him to discover anything strange. In the end, he would most likely be fooled by the Realmless King, which was probably what the Realmless King planned.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. Han Xiao raised his hand and pressed on the Realmless King's shoulder.
"Do you really think I don't know what's good for me? This can't be your child. You made up such a lie to me because you were worried that I would be tempted by this thing? Our deal requires honesty. My impression of you is still alright, so I'll give you a chance to be honest. If you still lie to me, then don't blame me for holding a grudge. No matter how my civilization fights with the World Tree in the future, I'll guarantee that you'll definitely die. "
The Realmless King's face twitched.
Although he had something on him, it couldn't protect him forever. Facing Han Xiao's threat, he was still very weak.
His original intention of lying was to not let Black Star investigate further to prevent any complications. After all, as long as one came to this secondary dimension, they would be able to feel some kind of life being nurtured, and it was easy for people to be curious. Furthermore, the embryo had a special attraction to the dimensional gods. If he did not claim to have a special relationship with him, he was worried that Black Star would be tempted.
He had originally thought that Black Star was a guest from the main universe and might not be able to feel the attraction of the embryo. As long as he did not study it, he would not be able to discover anything strange and could deceive everyone. However, he did not expect Black Star to see through it at a glance, causing his plan to fail … Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that the other party was lying to him, but the other party had already threatened him, so the Realmless King was not confident.
After hesitating for a while, the Realmless King said helplessly,
"If you know what this is, why are you asking me?"
"I just want to hear it from you."
Han Xiao stood with his arms crossed. He was mainly curious about how much the Realmless King knew about the Pivotal Snake Egg.
If he was only tempted by the 'special attraction' shown in the item's introduction, then the Realmless King's goal should be to wait for the embryo to mature and eat it. However, if he knew the origin of the Pivotal Snake, then the Realmless King's actions would be a little subtle.
However, in his opinion, the Realmless King most likely did not know about the relationship between the Pivotal Snake and the World Tree. He might not even know about the Pivotal Snake. If not for the note in the item's introduction, he would not have known about this secret. In the secondary dimension world where information was difficult to spread, it was unlikely that the Realmless King would know about such a well-hidden secret.
As expected, the Realmless King's answer was roughly the same as Han Xiao's guess. He said that he had discovered this embryo when he was expanding his territory and felt the attraction, so he brought it back to wait for it to mature. However, it was snatched away.
After explaining, the Realmless King even asked Han Xiao if he knew the origin of the embryo.
"Of course I know, but the information is incomplete. I only saw it once when I was traveling in the secondary dimension. Unfortunately, it disappeared."
Han Xiao waved his hand and found an excuse.
He naturally would not reveal the information about the Pivotal Snake to the Realmless King. As for whether the other party was pretending not to know it, he could only observe.
"Alright … Then what do you plan to do with this embryo? Our deal … "the Realmless King probed.
"Tsk, you're hiding something from me. Logically speaking, the deal should be canceled. However, seeing that your attitude is not bad, the deal can continue. This embryo is still yours."
Without waiting for the Realmless King to heave a sigh of relief, Han Xiao paused and continued.
"However, the deal is only to help you take back the embryo. Although the embryo is in your hands, you can't eat it. I'll have a mechanical army stationed here. I'm very interested in this embryo. I want to see what it looks like when it matures."
Hearing this, the Realmless King had no choice but to agree … On the bright side, at least Black Star had dealt with three evil neighbors, so it was not a loss.
After reaching a consensus, Han Xiao had the mechanical army build a temporary base around the embryo, and the Realmless King could only let him do as he pleased.
At the same time, a notification popped up on Han Xiao's interface that the mission was completed. He received a large amount of experience, but the Realmless King's Favorability Reward had shrunk, only increasing by 5 points. Obviously, it was affected by his actions. Only by completely returning the embryo would he be able to obtain the most favorability. However, this bit of favorability was not important to him.
The rewarded Character Summon Card was the ability of the Realmless King. Its effect was to descend from a dimension in the main universe, project the power of the Realmless King, and summon the black liquid substance that could block energy perception. It was temporarily kept by Han Xiao.
…
At the same time, in the Realmless King Dimension.
Han Xiao's main body, who was monitoring the Realmless King, broke the silence.
"It's done. I'll take these three dimensional entities away and won't disturb you anymore. It's your turn to fulfill your promise. I want all the information you know about the World Tree."
"… Okay."
The Realmless King could only do as he was told and share this portion of his memories through mental information.
Han Xiao immediately transcoded these mental memories into virtual data and entered it into the device.
With this information, the expedition team of the three Universal Civilizations did not have to explore like headless flies. They could save a lot of energy and directly head towards the World Tree's territory in the secondary dimensions. Although the closer they were to the territory of the World Tree Blessed Race, the more dangerous it would be, the chances of finding the World Tree's main body would also increase.
The Realmless King also gave them the coordinates of a few stable areas and a portion of the map. The three Universal Civilizations were no longer clueless about this deep area, and the information was quite valuable.
Han Xiao browsed through the information and suddenly said, "I want to cooperate with the three Universal Civilizations Alliance.
"I would like to represent the three Universal Civilizations and reach an agreement with you. You control a large area of secondary dimensions, so I hope that you can lend a portion of your territory as a temporary outpost for the three Universal Civilizations to explore the secondary dimensions. This will allow our expedition team to gather and rest here. This will be of great help to us. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the Realmless King was annoyed. He felt that the other party was taking advantage of him and could not help but warn him.
"I don't want to be involved in your war. Don't forget that I still have something on you."
"It's fine. We'll be stationed here temporarily, so we can give you more information. Furthermore, we're already here. Even if you don't welcome us, our large-scale follow-up troops will definitely pass by here. You might as well cooperate with us and get additional benefits. "
Han Xiao did not think much of it.
If he obtained the support of the Realmless King, he would be able to obtain the coordinates of the edge of the Realmless King's territory and travel there in an instant, saving the time needed to slowly cross this area.
Setting up a transit station in this deep area was equivalent to obtaining a new entrance. Like a record point, the expedition team could set off directly from here as soon as they entered, saving them a lot of time. It was very helpful to the expedition.
The Realmless King's heart was uncertain. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he finally nodded helplessly.
Even though he had something on him, he did not dare to use it easily because he was worried about the consequences. Instead, Black Star had taken the initiative. Although Black Star had helped him chase away his evil neighbor, this was undoubtedly asking a tiger for its skin. The Realmless King was already regretting inviting a wolf into his house.
It's all Bobanica's fault for provoking such a troublesome fellow. He still dares to boast that he's my confidant? He's more like a huge threat!
Buzz!
Just as the Realmless King was getting angry, Harrison returned to his main body on a carrier. He had already exited the 'please possess me' state and regained control of his body.
Han Xiao released his magnetic force and pulled Harrison in front of him. He handed the equipment with the information recorded in his hand to him and instructed, "The matter is basically settled.
I've reached a deal with the Realmless King. He's willing to lend some secondary dimensions to us as our outpost. He'll release the expedition team later. Report the situation to the commander and give this information to him. Tell them to stop advancing and wait for orders here. Wait for me to go back and inform the three Universal Civilizations … "
"Understood. I promise to complete the mission."
Harrison nodded his head and committed everything to memory.
Seeing how obedient he was, Han Xiaoxin had mixed feelings.
Although Harrison and the others had suffered this time, they had also benefited from this disaster. They had made substantial progress in the plan to search for the World Tree's main body and found a 'temporary ally' in the depths of the secondary dimensions.
What surprised Han Xiao the most was that Harrison had set off to search for the World Tree's main body. Now that he had no idea where the main body was, he had already found a strange object that could restrain the main body …
What else could he say?
The Luck Glow was always godly!
"Letting Harrison join the expedition team was indeed the right decision …"
Han Xiao was relieved.
If the Realmless King had not found his backer from Harrison's memories, this expedition team would have been gone. In his previous life, perhaps because of the difference in the timeline, the Realmless King had already eaten the Pivotal Snake Embryo, or perhaps because of other reasons. In short, Han Xiao had never heard of the three Universal Civilizations obtaining the Pivotal Snake Egg.
If he had such a trump card in his previous life, the difficulty of ambushing the main body would have been much lower.
However, although obtaining a trump card was worth being happy about, he still had to find the World Tree's main body to be of use. Furthermore, Han Xiao was still very curious about the connection between the Pivotal Snake and the World Tree.
In addition, he also wanted to know if the World Tree Civilization knew about the characteristics of the Pivotal Snake … He had a feeling that there were many secrets hidden inside.
