In a desolate universe belt in the explored universe.
The spies of the Star Alliance were paying attention to the progress of the battle on the news and were somewhat dissatisfied with the current situation.
"The three Universal Civilizations repelled the first wave of the World Tree's invasion and still managed to stabilize the situation despite the sudden chaos. As expected of a Universal Civilization that is in one, they are indeed not easy to deal with."
"The World Tree's attack is a little weaker … No, it should be said that the resistance of the three Universal Civilizations is too strong."
They leaked the information because they wanted to see the World Tree invade and bring despair to the three Universal Civilizations. However, the current situation was far from what they had expected.
"The good news is that although the World Tree's speed of encroaching on the territory is slow, it will accumulate. Sooner or later, it will cause the three Universal Civilizations to fall into a situation of eternal damnation. There is no chance of a comeback."
"Yes, the resistance of the three Universal Civilizations will only gradually weaken and die slowly."
"I hope I can see this day before my lifespan ends."
The spies of the Star Alliance calmed down and regained their confidence.
In their eyes, this was a long-term war that might last decades or centuries. They decided to wait patiently. No matter how long it took, they had to witness the defeat of the three Universal Civilizations.
…
Under the harassment of the World Tree's full-scale invasion, the galactic residents' lives were in deep water. Every day felt like a year, and they spent more than half a year in the flames of war.
The World Tree had launched a large-scale invasion of the various Star Fields more than once. The three Universal Civilizations resisted endlessly, and the two sides fought back and forth. In half a year, hundreds of thousands of battles of various sizes had broken out, and the cold universe was filled with endless blood. Many places had traces of the battle between the two sides.
The strategic command center calculated the losses. Adding up the scattered planets, the total area of land swallowed by the World Tree was equivalent to three and a half Star Systems. Compared to the Star Fields that could easily reach hundreds of Star Systems, this loss was not much. There were more than ten Star Fields in the explored universe, and the planets taken away by the World Tree were just a drop in the ocean.
According to this trend, the World Tree would theoretically need hundreds or thousands of years to defeat the Galactic Alliance Army and devour the entire explored universe.
However, the three Universal Civilizations would not relax because of this. To them, every inch of land had to be fought for. Many players followed the fleets to fight against the invaders, and their experience was quickly accumulated. More and more players stepped into the Calamity Grade.
On the other hand, Carrott, Evans, and the other new Beyond Grade As were also rushing from battlefield to battlefield?
How could they have so many combat opportunities?
The strength of these Beyond Grade As grew rapidly.
As for Han Xiao, he had been guarding the shallow layer dimensions alone for more than half a year.
The Blessed Race of the World Tree had invaded seventeen times?
All of them were killed to the point where they threw away their armor and fled?
It was impossible to shake the secondary dimension defense line he was in charge of.
Apart from that, Han Xiao had been focused on nurturing the Pivotal Snake?
Find a way to make it stand up?
Mating with a secondary dimension and giving birth to an embryo.
Originally, he did not have much hope because the Pivotal Snake was a baby after all. Reproduction was a pressure that it should not bear at its age.
But what Han Xiao didn't expect was …
The experiment was a success?
Not only did the Pivotal Snake baby stand up, but it was also very firm. It eagerly exploded three secondary dimensions that had given birth to ignorant consciousnesses, leaving behind three embryos.
However, after studying the 'snake film' that was specially recorded, Han Xiao also found the reason.
Was it because of the pursuit of the World Tree and the dangers of the secondary dimension?
The life of the Pivotal Snake was very difficult, so perhaps mating and giving birth to offspring as soon as possible after birth was an instinct engraved in their genes?
Their reproductive ability was naturally mature, and they did not need to wait until they reached adulthood to give birth.
With three embryos?
He had finally opened the door to the breeding industry. Han Xiao had spent most of his time on this?
He had made the breeder, the Realmless King, bleed a lot.
However, he did not convert the Pivotal Snake baby into a virtual life form because of this?
Was he waiting for the embryos to mature?
After having the second and third Pivotal Snake, he planned to try this plan. He was being cautious.
On this day, Han Xiao received news from Oathkeeper and Kasuyi. He planned to visit them together, so he invited the two of them to the base as guests.
In the circular corridor of the observatory, the three of them walked side by side at a leisurely pace, chatting with one another. The dazzling aurora outside the window shone through the observation window, leaving mottled shadows on the three of them.
Han Xiao held two mechanical balls in one hand and smiled. "Why do you have time to visit me today? How's the war in the main universe?"
"The Galactic Alliance Army has repelled another wave of the World Tree's invasion. We can rest for a while, so we came to see you." Kasuyi smiled.
"What about him?" Han Xiao turned to look at Oathkeeper. "When did you guys get together?"
"Are you going to care who I make friends with too? Black Star, you're so powerful, "Oathkeeper said with his hands behind his back.
"What are you talking about? I'm just afraid that you'll be led astray by Kasuyi. He's an old Best Actor who doesn't look the same." Han Xiao clicked his tongue.
"You have no right to say that about me." Kasuyi rolled his eyes.
The three of them chatted for a while before Oathkeeper started talking about serious matters.
"Speaking of which, in the past half a year of war, some Beyond Grade As have died. When do you plan to revive them?"
Han Xiao shook his head. "I don't have any plans for now. Although my authority is high, it will take about two to three months to go to the Sanctum. If I'm not here, it's easy for changes to happen. Protecting the Pivotal Snake is more important now, so I can't leave yet."
Oathkeeper nodded and suddenly changed the topic. "When the war is over, I will leave the explored universe. I will leave everything about the Holy Covenant to you."
Han Xiao was stunned.
What are you doing? What grudge do we have? You suddenly made me panic!
At this time, Kasuyi also smiled and said: "Same for me. After this battle, I'll leave with him."
What's wrong? Are the two of you eloping?
Han Xiao had a strange expression.
"Is this what you came to talk to me about today? What are you doing? Why are you leaving all of a sudden? "
Kasuyi shrugged. "It's just a long trip. Although it's convenient to stay in the galactic society, this is only a corner of the world. The universe is so big. I want to take a look."
… The Underworld is also very big. Do you want to take a look?
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and cursed in his heart.
"You can go if you want. It's not like I won't let you go. Or do you want me to ask you to stay?"
Oathkeeper said, "That's not it. The unexplored universe is full of unknown dangers. We came to inform you in advance. We hope that every time you enter the Sanctum, you will use Revive on us. If we are still alive, it will naturally have no effect. If we unfortunately die and do not send back any news, you can revive us."
"That's it? So you guys are going out to have fun, and you want me to stay at home? "Han Xiao said unhappily.
"That's more or less what I mean." Kasuyi was not embarrassed at all.
Han Xiao was speechless. He waved his hand. "Alright, I'll remember this … But aren't you guys talking too early? The war isn't over yet. Didn't you hear the analysis of the General Staff? They estimate that this war will take another two hundred to five hundred years under normal circumstances."
Kasuyi laughed. "That's for ordinary people. How can we, the upper echelons, not know? As long as the Pivotal Snake on your side matures, it will be the time for us to officially counterattack. It won't take that long."
"That's hard to say." Han Xiao shook his head and said, "The Pivotal Snake is similar to most creatures. It has six growth stages, namely the embryonic stage, infant stage, juvenile stage, adult stage, and old stage. Although the Pivotal Snake is growing quickly, it has only been less than a year since it broke out of its shell. At most, it's in the infant stage, and it's still too far from adulthood."
"No matter what, it definitely won't take a few hundred years for the Pivotal Snake to reach adulthood. I estimate it will take at most ten to thirty years," Oathkeeper judged.
"That's not short." Han Xiao spread his hands. "That's why the expeditionary army still has to continue moving. We have to look for the World Tree's main body on both fronts. Now that we and the World Tree know each other's background, we don't have to worry about intelligence leaks anymore. The expeditionary army doesn't have to be as sneaky as before."
Kasuyi suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, do you have someone called Harrison under you?"
"You know him?" Han Xiao was surprised.
"I went to support a battlefield previously, and it happened to be not far from the Blue Star Civilization's refuge planet. Therefore, after the battle, I went to Floating Dragon Island to take a look. Ames was not at home, and her general manager, Jenny, received me. She knows about our relationship and wants me to pass a message to you."
"What message?" Han Xiao was curious.
"She said she's pregnant." Kasuyi's tone was playful.
"F * ck!" Han Xiao was shocked. "It's not mine! I've never mated with her! Don't f * cking talk nonsense! "
"What are you thinking?" Kasuyi raised his eyebrows. "She said that the child's father is Harrison, not you. Why are you so agitated?"
"Phew, that's good … Next time, can you finish speaking in one breath?"
Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, but he was secretly frustrated.
If Ames misunderstood that he was having an affair with her sister, it would be interesting …
Kasuyi sized him up and laughed. "A Transcendent is actually afraid of a mere Ames?"
"What do you mean by afraid? What do you know? No matter how strong you are, you can't use it to intimidate your family. This is called protecting family harmony. "Han Xiao had a look of disdain.
Kasuyi did not comment and continued, "Anyway, Jenny asked me to tell you that she hopes you can persuade Harrison to give up his position in the expeditionary army and not take any more risks. She doesn't want the child to be born without a father."
Hearing this, Han Xiao stopped joking and got Philip to check on Harrison's current situation.
He would not go through his subordinates' privacy for no reason, and he had only found out about this today. In the past, he only knew that the two of them had a little ambiguous relationship, but they had not confirmed their relationship. After some investigation, he realized that the two of them had only officially gotten together in the past half a year.
In the past ten years, Harrison had been participating in the expedition in the secondary dimension and rarely contacted Jenny. He had thought that he could not take care of their relationship, but Jenny did not know if it was because no one wanted her or because she was old and did not want to waste her time alone. Not only did she not complain, but her feelings for Harrison grew deeper.
More than half a year ago, the expeditionary army's outpost was broken through by the Blessed Race of the World Tree. The expeditionary army suffered heavy losses, and Harrison escaped with his life. During the time when the expeditionary army was regrouping, he finally had the time to return to the main universe. He had escaped death, and Jenny had finally succeeded. The long-distance relationship had come to fruition, and they seemed to have made up their minds to reproduce. They did not take any safety measures and were in full swing.
A month ago, Harrison returned to the expeditionary army and left Jenny's side.
Han Xiao looked at the file and said curiously, "It seems like no one recruited him. He actually returned to the expeditionary army voluntarily."
Because of the Pivotal Snake, Han Xiao did not continue to force Harrison to participate in the subsequent expeditionary exploration. Now, he realized that it was Harrison's spontaneous action.
"Why is this guy so proactive?"
Han Xiao was curious. Using the Realmless King as a transit station, he contacted Harrison, who had the mark.
A few seconds later, the call went through.
"Your Excellency Black Star."
Harrison's remote projection appeared and bowed to Han Xiao.
"There's no need to be so polite. It's like this. Jenny is pregnant, and she wants me to persuade you not to take risks with the expeditionary army. Besides, the main force doesn't lack you. How is it? Do you want to go back?" Han Xiao went straight to the point.
Hearing that, Harrison shook his head gently. "I appreciate her kindness, but I won't go back."
"I noticed that you joined the expedition voluntarily this time. What do you think?" Han Xiao asked.
Harrison was silent for a moment before slowly saying,
"When I was on Floating Dragon Island, I came into contact with many refugees. Do you know their current state? They live in fear every day. Many people can't bear the pressure and choose to free themselves. The people who are alive are afraid of the unknown tomorrow. No one knows if they will become the target of the World Tree's invasion one day. A new religion is popular, and countless people are looking for comfort in it. Everyone is praying for the war to end soon.
You said that my luck is very good and I'm very suitable for finding things. I don't know if that's true, but I hope that you're right. I hope that this illusory luck can play a role and contribute to ending the war as soon as possible. "
Han Xiao raised his brows and chuckled, "Not bad.
You've made me respect you a little … However, you should know that the Pivotal Snake is in our hands now, and our chances of winning are very high. The expeditionary army is no longer the only way, and it might not be useful. The main force doesn't lack you. Your actions might be useless, and there's a risk of losing your life. Why don't you go back and accompany your unborn child? "
Harrison shook his head. "I don't want to enjoy myself under your protection because of these reasons. I have my colleagues here, and I don't want to run away. Please don't persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind."
"Alright, I won't persuade you anymore. Be careful." Han Xiao nodded.
"… If it's possible, please tell Jenny that I love her."
Little brother, these words.
The moment you say it, your Death Omen is flashing, do you know that?
"If you want to say it, tell her yourself. Who do you think I am, your mouthpiece?"
Han Xiao clicked his tongue and hung up without waiting for Harrison's reply.
Little brother, you don't have to thank me. I'm helping you save your life!
Kasuyi listened to the entire process and sighed. "You have a good officer."
"He wasn't like this in the past. He used to be a curious child at most, but from the looks of it, he's already an adult."
Han Xiao paused for a moment before smiling.
"This person is a little stupid, but the world needs some idiots like him. Maybe he can really bring me some surprises."
