As the three tree kings were discussing, they suddenly paused at the same time and fell silent. They all sensed a message from the mother tree's consciousness.
A strange light flashed across the Ancestral Tree King's eyes as he slowly said,
"The mother tree has sensed the birth of another natural enemy. She wants us to kill it."
"Is it that strange creature again? It's actually not extinct yet." The Secret Tree King was a little interested.
The Ancestral Tree King nodded at him. "Hmm, the secondary dimension is suitable for you. Go and lead your clan to resolve this matter. Try your best to find its location before it enters adulthood."
"I'll try my best." The Secret Tree King did not comment.
This was not the first time the World Tree had discovered a natural enemy. In the early days of the civilization, there were records of natural enemies invading.
The restraining relationship between the two sides came from the abnormal entanglement at the Information Form level. There was a two-way connection, so the World Tree Civilization had always attached great importance to the existence of natural enemies.
The World Tree's perception of natural enemies was divided into two stages. When the natural enemy was in its infancy, the World Tree only knew of its existence and could not sense its specific location. As the infancy of the natural enemy gradually matured, the perception would also become stronger. When any natural enemy entered adulthood, the World Tree would be able to track its location and accurately hunt it down.
However, the World Tree could only sense its natural enemies after birth and could not discover the embryos of its natural enemies. Therefore, it had never been able to kill them all. There would always be fish that escaped the net, so it could only take a step back and focus on killing the infancy as its main goal.
In fact, the World Tree had always been expanding in the secondary dimension. One of the reasons was that it was dedicated to eliminating its natural enemies. Once it sensed something, it would immediately inform the Tree King to kill the infancy of its natural enemy as soon as possible and not let it enter adulthood. This was an extremely high priority matter, and only the Tree King knew the details.
The Fortitude Tree King could not help but ask, "What about the frontline war?"
"Let's first eliminate the mother tree's natural enemy. It seems like our operation will have to be delayed." The Ancestral Tree King glanced at him, thought for a moment, and added, "Don't forget to water the Subduing Tree King."
…
Secondary dimension world, expeditionary army outpost.
A huge circular teleportation gate floated in the dimensional space. This was the door for the three Universal Civilizations to enter and exit from the main universe. There were continuous secondary dimension fortresses around it, and groups of expedition teams came and went.
With a flash of light, Han Xiao appeared on the teleportation platform wearing the King..
The person in charge of the outpost was already waiting for him.
"Sir Black Star, you're finally here."
"What's the situation now?" Han Xiao looked down at him and asked.
"The speed at which the embryo absorbs dimensional energy has suddenly increased by tens of millions of times. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. You should go and take a look for yourself. I've already prepared a vehicle for you."
"Alright … By the way, how did the Realmless King react?"
"He went there one step ahead of us. He should be observing the changes in the embryo at close range now."
"Alright, then I'll go too."
Han Xiao nodded.
After more than ten years of development, the secondary dimension lent by the Realmless King had been completely modified by the three Universal Civilizations. Currently, the three Universal Civilizations were using this outpost as a springboard to greatly increase the strength of the expeditionary army.
Furthermore, the three Universal Civilizations used their traditional custom of being hooligans to persuade the Realmless King to give them more territory to build a base. Currently, this area had already turned into a 'shallow dimension'. The three Universal Civilizations could enter and exit directly from the main universe, almost like a turtledove occupying a magpie's nest.
Even if the Realmless King was not willing to provoke the World Tree, he was still tied to the same chariot by the various actions of the three Universal Civilizations.
Han Xiao sat on the vehicle, set the dimensional coordinates, and started the engine. The heavy particle thruster spat out a turbulent tail flame, which quickly turned into an invisible tail stream. It transitioned from the conventional engine to the Dimension Travel Engine, accelerated to the critical point, and suddenly disappeared from the spot, performing a Dimension Jump.
The shuttle entered a colorful tunnel of light. Not long after, the vehicle suddenly shook, and the light outside the window disappeared, turning into a dark secondary dimension. They had arrived at their destination.
The grayish-white embryo was floating in the middle of the dimension, and a large number of mechanical troops were guarding it.
The Realmless King's projection was right beside him. Sensing the entry of the vehicle, he could not help but turn around. When he saw that it was Han Xiao, he walked up to him.
"Black Star, you're here too."
"Tell me the situation." Han Xiao flew to his side.
"The energy of this dimension is surging into the embryo at an extremely high speed. If this continues, it will collapse very soon. I feel that this embryo is about to be born …" the Realmless King explained.
Han Xiao nodded and turned to observe the embryo carefully.
The gray fog wrapped under the membrane was originally very stable, but at this moment, it was fluctuating crazily like boiling water. The long black shadow inside became more and more restless, attacking the membrane from the inside again and again, causing bumps to appear on the embryo.
In Han Xiao's senses, this embryo seemed to have turned into an energy black hole. The mass, space, energy, and everything else in this secondary dimension were collapsing towards the embryo and being devoured.
When some oviparous animals were born, they would eat their eggshells to replenish their nutrients. In Han Xiao's opinion, the Pivotal Snake Egg's squeezing dry this secondary dimension was similar.
Not long after, this secondary dimension became riddled with holes. The remaining wreckage was quickly devoured by the Pivotal Snake Egg, and the embryo was directly exposed to the space storm.
Han Xiao had already retracted his mechanical army and did not interfere with the changes in the Pivotal Snake Egg. He watched from the side with the Realmless King.
Chi!
The membrane suddenly split open, and the grayish-white fog inside leaked out and spread out. The surrounding spatial turbulence could not penetrate this layer of fog.
Han Xiao sucked in a gust of fog and analyzed it. He found that the composition of this fog was a special biological particle that could isolate spatial storms and seemed to have the effect of breaking through space. It seemed to have the ability to travel through dimensions.
The membrane quickly shriveled, but the fog was still increasing, covering the appearance of the Pivotal Snake. He could only see a black shadow looming in the gray fog like a dragon hiding in the clouds.
At this moment, the Pivotal Snake suddenly flew in the opposite direction of the two of them at an extremely fast speed.
"Is it running?"
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He raised his hand and waved. The spatial device froze the Pivotal Snake in the air, preventing it from moving.
He slowly approached and flew into the gray fog. The interface immediately notified him that he was under continuous attack. The gray fog around him was automatically repelling outsiders, but the attack power was too low. It could not break through his defense at all, and he did not lose any health.
After entering the center of the gray fog, Han Xiao finally saw the true appearance of the Pivotal Snake …
This was a huge dark golden snake-like creature. It did not have an outer shell, and its entire body was flowing with a metallic luster. Its skin was continuously releasing more gray fog. This seemed to be a substance that it had automatically generated. It should be an external protective layer. There were two pairs of huge membrane wings on its back, and a pair of sharp claws on its abdomen. Its head looked like a snake's head, but it did not have a mouth or nostrils. It only had a pair of cold golden vertical pupils.
Compared to the Space Louse's casual appearance, the Pivotal Snake's appearance was much more beautiful.
"Although it's called a snake, it looks more like a dragon …" Han Xiao muttered to himself.
He took out the mental communication device and released his mental waves to the Pivotal Snake, trying to communicate with it. Han Xiao could feel the Pivotal Snake's cold emotions, but it did not respond to his probing.
Eh, isn't that how newborn animals treat the first living creature they meet as their parents? Isn't that how it usually plays out?
Even if it's not like this, with my extraordinary charm and affinity, this little animal shouldn't be so cold to me …
Han Xiao was curious and tried a few more times. However, the Pivotal Snake only stared at him with its cold golden eyes and did not answer. It was as if it was very wary of the outside world.
Seeing this, he stopped communicating and poked the Pivotal Snake.
The next moment, the other party's attributes popped up on the interface. Han Xiao quickly browsed through it and was stunned.
In the attribute panel of the Pivotal Snake, there was a talent ability to sense the World Tree's main body. However, it was currently in a gray frozen state. The introduction of the ability said that it could only be activated when it reached adulthood, and the Pivotal Snake was still a child.
"It actually has such a talent! As expected of the World Tree's nemesis! "
Han Xiao was shocked and immediately overjoyed.
This was a pleasant surprise. It meant that the three Universal Civilizations had a stable way to find the World Tree's main body. They finally did not have to place all their hopes on luck!
Hmm, that doesn't seem right. If not for Harrison, I wouldn't have been able to touch the Realmless King, much less the Pivotal Snake Egg …
So, in the end, it's still Harrison's luck?!
"His Luck Glow is more powerful than I thought …"
Han Xiao was secretly speechless, and his mind immediately became active.
He did not expect the Pivotal Snake to have such an ability, so the plan could be improved. With such a trump card, the most important thing was to nurture the Pivotal Snake and let it enter adulthood as soon as possible. This way, he could directly attack the World Tree.
"However, the expeditionary army can't stop. Who knows how long it will take for the Pivotal Snake to reach adulthood …"
Han Xiaoxin made up his mind and continued to try to communicate with the Pivotal Snake. However, the Pivotal Snake still remained cold and did not respond. It had an attitude of "do whatever you want". He could not do anything about this. After all, this was his first time coming into contact with the Pivotal Snake. He did not know if all newborn Pivotal Snakes were like this.
He did not dare to remove his control over the Pivotal Snake. Seeing how this thing ran away the moment it was born, it was most likely gone.
Han Xiao had no choice but to put aside the problem of communication for the time being. He grabbed the Pivotal Snake and came to the Realmless King's side.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's a very strange creature that is very useful to me. It feeds on secondary dimensions. Since you're called the Lord of a Million Dimensions, I'll leave the task of feeding it to you."
Hearing this, the Realmless King's face immediately fell.
Those secondary dimensions were all territories that he had gathered. It was already very depressing to lend them to the three Universal Civilizations, and now you want me to feed them to this creature? Do you really think I'm a rich dog that you can casually slaughter?!
Seeing that he did not respond, Han Xiao raised his brows. "You're not willing?"
"… I'm very honored." The Realmless King decisively agreed to Han Xiao's unreasonable request in extreme anger.
Stop talking, I'm scared.
"Don't worry, I won't let you feed it for nothing. The three Universal Civilizations will take out some main universe materials in exchange."
Han Xiao smiled and comforted him.
Since the Realmless King liked to collect trash, the three Universal Civilizations would definitely not be stingy with this little cost. After all, what they did not lack the most was trash.
After successfully persuading the Realmless King to donate generously, Han Xiao turned to look at the Pivotal Snake Infant again. His eyes lit up as if he had seen the light of hope.
The Pivotal Snake lowered its head and looked at him. A human-like rejection flashed across its golden eyes, like the hostility of a prisoner towards a guard.
Sensing this emotion, Han Xiao could not help but narrow his eyes.
"My first impression isn't too good. Could it be that the Pivotal Snake is born unrestrained and loves freedom? Then it won't be that easy to raise this creature."
