Unexpected discovery
The Mech Legion swarmed out like a black tide and connected together layer by layer, covering the Lord's Avatar. They quickly combined and turned into an enormous Mechanical Deity that spanned across the starry sky.
Han Xiao controlled the enormous Supreme Heavenly Venerate's mechanical body and cruised through the galaxy of the World Tree territory, heading toward the starry sky.
Not long after, a planet wrapped in roots appeared in his vision, getting closer and closer.
Without another word, Han Xiao raised his palm, and a strong psionic light appeared in his palm. The next moment, a thick pillar of light shot out and pierced through the planet like a spear of light, like a steel needle piercing through a meatball.
A hole was left on the surface of the planet, and the internal structure was exposed. The crust, the asthenosphere, and the core were clearly separated like a multi-layered cake.
After a moment of stagnation, the planet suddenly collapsed inward toward the gap. The crust shattered and turned into molten lava. The asthenosphere surged violently. The brightness of the planet's core suddenly increased, and a strong light burst out from the center. The next moment, there was a loud explosion. The entire planet exploded and turned into an expanding mass of light.
Han Xiao's body did not move. The shield automatically blocked the strong shockwave of the planet's explosion. The electric arcs flickered without any damage, as if there were layers of energy hurricanes surrounding him.
This time, he was here to cause destruction. He did not need to be as careful as he was more than ten years ago. What he needed was to make a big fuss.
The next moment, the Information Form alert network was immediately triggered. Not long after, the entire World Tree Civilization knew that Han Xiao had suddenly appeared and blown up a planet.
Before Han Xiao could go far, the surrounding space fluctuated. Batches of World Tree fleets arrived at the area of the incident through the World Tree Express and fired at the planet-sized Supreme Heavenly Venerate without hesitation.
The dense rain of light bombarded the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's shield. However, the thunder was loud but the rain was small. It could only cause large amounts of energy sparks and could not break the indestructible shield.
Han Xiao raised his hand and clenched it. Energy surged, and he crushed battleships one after another. Although he was surrounded by the fleet, it was as if he had surrounded all the enemies.
Very soon, more World Tree fleets arrived at the battlefield through the World Tree territory's rapid descent channel and joined the battle. More and more battleships surrounded Han Xiao and focused their fire on him.
On the other side, in the Tree King Palace, the Ancestral Tree King and the Fortitude Tree King were paying attention to Han Xiao's actions through the mental network with solemn expressions.
"Why did this guy suddenly come here?" Fortitude Tree King was surprised. "Don't tell me he wants to counterattack our territory alone?"
"It looks like it." The Ancestral Tree King narrowed his eyes.
"Should we stop it?"
The Ancestral Tree King shook his head firmly. "There's no need. He's very difficult to deal with. The efficiency of the human wave tactic is very low. If we want to stop him, we don't know how many troops we have to invest. We also have to let a portion of the invading troops return as reinforcements. That's exactly what he wants.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch him wreak havoc in our territory? "
"Since we can't stop it, we won't stop it. Let the Mother Tree keep the territory and change the base. We'll leave this place to him."
The Ancestral Tree King was resolute and did not hesitate.
Actually, there was another way, which was to use the Tree God's Descent to fight against a Transcendent. However, after the last time they fought, the Ancestral Tree King felt that the incomplete Tree God's Descent would not be able to defeat Black Star, so he did not waste the number of times he could use it and left.
Due to the connection of the mental network and the unique mother tree mechanism, the World Tree Civilization had a huge advantage, which was its ability to execute. As soon as the Ancestral Tree King gave the order, the huge World Tree territory immediately started to change.
The intertwined roots of the World Tree vaguely appeared in the starry sky, slowly moving as if they were uprooted one after another. The 'land' that carried the World Tree was the universe space within the territory. Usually, these roots were hidden, but now, they appeared one after another.
The planets turned into liquid and fused into the roots of the World Tree. The roots of the World Tree also retracted, and the spatial cracks outside the planet disappeared.
For a moment, countless starlights dimmed until they dissipated. The originally bustling galaxy slowly turned into a dead and desolate universe. As the World Tree retracted the planets, the Star Field here was quickly returning to its original state. It was desolate, cold, and dark. Not a single blade of grass grew.
Han Xiao, who was slaughtering the World Tree fleet, also noticed the abnormal changes in space. This was the first time he had seen the World Tree move its base. When he saw the World Tree roots appear in the sky, he started to exit the 'rooted' state.
"Are you planning to move as soon as you see me? How decisive."
Han Xiao was surprised.
Without the rooted state, the World Tree Express could not be used. The World Tree fleet received the order and immediately ended the siege. They took advantage of the last moment to quickly teleport out, planning to retreat.
Han Xiao crushed another fleet. Suddenly, he activated the Tree God's Character Summon Card.
Swoosh!
The next moment, spatial cracks suddenly tore open around the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Roots suddenly shot out and swept through the fleet, swallowing batches of battleships.
The roots he summoned with the Character Summon Card flowed with blue light, completely different from the green World Tree's main body!
"How can he use the power of the World Tree?"
The Ancestral Tree King had been paying attention, and when he saw this, he was stunned.
Could Black Star be a member of the World Tree? Is he also one of us?
That's not right. How is that possible?
At the same time, the mother tree's consciousness also reacted. The Ancestral Tree King sensed surprise from it.
The World Tree itself was also stunned. It was surprised that a life form that was not under its control had the same power as it.
Han Xiao was controlling the summoned roots to attack the fleet. He felt that it was very novel and interesting. Suddenly, he had a lot of 'tentacles', and he finally experienced the joy of the Tree King.
At this moment, a mental fluctuation suddenly came, bringing with it the Ancestral Tree King's shocked question.
"Black Star! How do you have the power of the World Tree? "
"Guess."
Han Xiao could not help but raise his brows.
He had activated this Character Summon Card on a whim mainly to experiment if the roots he had summoned were connected to the World Tree.
After the experiment just now, he had already confirmed that the roots formed by the Character Summon Card belonged to him and would not be controlled by the World Tree. It was like a rootless tree that was born out of thin air.
Even if it devoured matter, it could only decompose it into energy to replenish its own consumption. It was not like the World Tree could preserve information states and transform them … When the time limit of the Character Summon Card ended, these temporarily summoned roots would dissipate on their own, and so would the things they devoured during this period.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, these blue roots were extremely similar to the World Tree with him as the source, but they were independent entities. This made the Ancestral Tree King's imagination run wild.
At this moment, information about the Revivors of the explored universe, the Immortals, and so on flashed through his mind. The Ancestral Tree King's eyes widened as he felt that he had found the truth.
"I understand! There's actually another World Tree in the universe, and it's on you! "
The information leaked by the Star Alliance included Han Xiao's life. The Ancestral Tree King had always been surprised by how short Han Xiao's rise was. At this moment, he felt enlightened and found an explanation.
The undying characteristics of those Immortals were very similar to the members of the World Tree. If those Immortals were actually members of another World Tree, it would make sense. Black Star had always been pretending that he had nothing to do with it, but he was actually secretly making a fortune. He was the mastermind!
"Two World Trees? You sure dare to dream. "
Han Xiao could not help but laugh at the Ancestral Tree King's imagination.
He was about to continue speaking, but at this moment, many spatial tunnels suddenly appeared around him. Green roots of the World Tree extended out and wrapped around Han Xiao's blue roots. They were like snakes entangled together, twisting into a fried dough twist. They slowly squirmed, squeezing, pulling, and sticking to each other.
Seeing this, Han Xiao paused, and his expression became strange.
Why did this scene look so much like a French kiss …
It was a little spicy …
The corner of Han Xiao's eyes twitched. He could even feel the emotions of the World Tree from the intersection of the roots. It was an extremely fervent and eager thought, containing the desire to fuse with it.
Waves of genuine World Tree power flowed into the blue roots along the intersection of the roots. It was actively transmitting its own energy, as if it could not wait to share the good stuff. Furthermore, the World Tree was even connecting with the power contained in the blue roots, as if it wanted to achieve some kind of special 'body fluid' exchange.
"Is it treating the roots I called out as its mate?"
Han Xiao's eyes widened in shock.
He had thought that the real World Tree would be hostile to each other when it saw the blue version of him. He did not expect that not only did they not fight, but the World Tree even took the initiative to 'communicate' with him. It did not have any hostility at all and was even very warm.
Could it be … that this was because the real World Tree had always been a unique existence and was lonely. Now that it had finally found someone of its own kind, its mating habits were ignited. Its hunger and thirst were unbearable, and its instincts took over?
"The ancients did not lie to me. There can't be two tigers on one mountain, unless one is male and one is female."
Han Xiao's interest was piqued.
On the other side, the Ancestral Tree King was completely dumbfounded. As the Tree King, he could feel the joy and excitement coming from the mother tree's consciousness. Even the way he looked at Han Xiao was affected.
Han Xiao, who was supposed to be an enemy, actually became friendly in his eyes, and he could not feel any hostility.
F * ck, we were about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?
The Ancestral Tree King quickly shook his head to get rid of the indirect influence of the mother tree's consciousness. "What's going on?"
Han Xiao came back to his senses, chuckled, and said in a teasing tone, "Didn't you say that there are two World Trees? Mine is male, and yours is female. Your female won't work when it sees my male."
The Ancestral Tree King was furious. "Bullsh * t! Why does the female not work when she sees the male? Shouldn't it be the other way around? "
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be such an outstanding fist artist."
Han Xiao was speechless. He turned his head to look at the blue and green roots that were tangling with each other and suddenly chuckled.
"This is too proactive. By the way, your mother tree is amazing!"
"…"
Although the Ancestral Tree King did not understand Han Xiao's teasing, he knew that it was not a good thing. He felt an inexplicable sourness, and the green light on his body seemed to have become even brighter.
He deactivated the mental communication and suppressed his anger. With a dark expression, he ordered the troops to retreat faster.
Not long after, the World Tree finally retracted its base camp. The fleet that surrounded Han Xiao either died or fled, and the World Tree Roots that were crazily looking for a mate also reluctantly retracted into the spatial tunnel. No matter how it teased, the blue roots that Han Xiao summoned with the Character Summon Card did not respond.
In reality, it was because the blue roots were a temporary rootless tree. It was a real, castrated version of an ability that was completely under Han Xiao's control. It did not have any self-consciousness and did not have such abilities.
Not long after, the time of the Tree God Character Summon Card was up. The blue roots shattered inch by inch, turning into light fragments and dissipating. Only the Supreme Heavenly Venerate was left floating in the desolate universe.
The World Tree had already abandoned its territory, and all the planets and individuals had returned to the mother tree. It was as if it was so scared by Han Xiao that it did not even want its base camp and moved overnight … The truth was more or less the same.
Just one word, grandeur!
"Tsk, unknowingly, my deterrence has already become so strong."
Han Xiao shook his head and chuckled.
If it were anyone else, they would most likely not be able to swallow their pride and run away. It was impossible for such a large civilization to be scared by him to the point of abandoning their home. At the very least, they would send out enough troops to fight a big battle until they suffered heavy casualties and felt that they could not hold on anymore. Only then would they have a reasonable reason to retreat … However, the World Tree did not care about this kind of thing. It left as soon as it said so. It did not feel embarrassed at all. He had not even used it yet. This kind of enemy was the most difficult to deal with.
"Although forcing the World Tree to move can slightly cause them some trouble, it can't solve the root cause … However, this trip was not a loss. I seem to have discovered something interesting."
Han Xiao revealed a playful smile. He did not expect the Tree God Character Summon Card to have such a wonderful effect.
"Now that I've used it once for an experiment, there are still three uses left for this Character Summon Card. It might have a miraculous effect at the right time."
Thank you and Ti Tianfu for your reward!
