Crack! Crack!
The gigantic Pivotal Snake coiled around the World Tree and bit at it.
Although it was only a virtual life form and could not harm physical objects, the Pivotal Snake's way of damaging the World Tree was through the Information Form channel, which only targeted the will of the mother tree.
The roots danced wildly, and the World Tree struggled crazily, wanting to get rid of the Pivotal Snake. However, the roots could not touch the virtual body of the Pivotal Snake at all.
Although the World Tree was strong, the reason why the Pivotal Snake was its natural enemy was because of its unsolvable restraints. The will of the mother tree did not have the time to care about Han Xiao, and the mental attack was directly muted. The Pivotal Snake struggled endlessly like a girl who was anxiously tugging at her clothes.
An endless stream of machines surged out from the godly fortress and merged with the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, causing Han Xiao's body to expand rapidly. His arms could gradually wrap around the trunk of the World Tree as if he was going to uproot it.
While the will of the mother tree was in chaos, Han Xiao used his own energy to invade the World Tree's main body and tried to form a soul connection with it. He wanted to dye the other party with his own color and shape.
To the Blessed Race of the World Tree, this feeling was like their faith being insulted. Countless people launched a new round of suicidal attacks at Han Xiao with red eyes, blowing up batches after batches of them.
Because of Han Xiao's actions, the World Tree fleet was inevitably in chaos. The Galactic Alliance Army naturally would not let go of this good opportunity. The fleet quickly pierced through the defense circle and soon reached the fourth level, suffering an even more intense counterattack.
The leading troops were not far from Han Xiao, and they all provided firepower support to help him intercept the World Tree's troops. Energy beams flew everywhere, detonating a series of battleships on the battlefield.
On the other side, seeing that Black Star had successfully broken through to the side of the World Tree, the officers in the strategic command center perked up.
"Good! Black Star has already stepped on the vital point of the World Tree Civilization! "
"We'll have to rely on him to destroy the World Tree's main body. We have to protect him and let him focus on dealing with the World Tree."
"Even if it's a conservative estimate, our chances of winning are more than ninety-five percent!"
"The World Tree has no chance to turn the tables!"
Many officers were excited.
The goal of the three Universal Civilizations starting this war was to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop. They hoped to accomplish this in one fell swoop, so they gathered most of the forces in the explored universe. Although it did not mean that they would die trying if they did not succeed, if they lost this battle, the three Universal Civilizations would also suffer a great loss. Therefore, before they set off, many officers had made a military order that they could only win, not lose.
However, the officers did not want to lie to themselves. Their confidence was actually not very firm. Their true confidence came from Black Star and the Pivotal Snake. If they did not have such trump cards, they would not dare to say that they would definitely be able to determine the outcome of the battle.
At this moment, seeing Black Star kill the Tree God, break through the encirclement, uproot the Mother Tree, and almost single-handedly push the direction of the battle, everyone heaved a sigh of relief while feeling excited. They felt that they had not trusted the wrong person … Indeed, the battle still depended on Black Star.
However, the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations were not happy at all. Instead, their faces were solemn, as if they had some concerns.
The Ethereal Pope hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Why do I feel like Black Star isn't destroying the World Tree's main body?"
Hearing this, the officers were stunned. They suppressed the joy in their hearts and carefully observed Han Xiao's actions toward the World Tree. The more they looked, the stranger they felt.
"It does seem to be the case … He didn't continue to attack. It's more like he's subduing the World Tree's main body … Is he trying to control the World Tree?"
Everyone was shocked, and they immediately understood that the situation had become complicated.
The officers turned to look, and as expected, the expressions of the three leaders turned extremely ugly.
"What a Black Star! I knew he had other plans. With such a huge appetite, isn't he afraid of dying from overeating? "
Louis was shocked and furious.
"Our worries were right. He used us to defeat the World Tree army and create an opportunity for him to subdue the World Tree's main body. We cannot sit back and watch him achieve his goal!"
The Ethereal Pope's tone was furious and resolute.
The World Tree was too powerful. No matter whose hands it fell into, it would be a threat to the three Universal Civilizations. The three Universal Civilizations only wanted to destroy it directly and did not even dare to take the risk of capturing it.
Black Star was already an existence beyond the norm, and the three Universal Civilizations had long been unable to control him. If Black Star obtained the World Tree, it would be a threat of a qualitative change. It would be equivalent to him obtaining the power of a Universal Civilization, which would be enough to fight against the entire explored universe. To a certain extent, it would even surpass it, enough to shake the foundation of their rule!
Although the internal conflicts were temporarily suppressed by the invasion of the external enemies, the three Universal Civilizations did not forget the fear of losing control of their individual strength. They still had irreconcilable conflicts with Black Star. Once the war ended, these problems would surface again. The three of them could not sit back and watch the Beyond Grade As control the World Tree.
Furthermore, the war had lasted for more than ten years, and the three Universal Civilizations were the first victims. They had wasted so much time in the war and lost countless resources. Now that they were finally about to reap the fruits of victory, the three Universal Civilizations were naturally unwilling to let Han Xiao take advantage of them.
We were the ones who mobilized the army to resist the World Tree and suffered the heaviest losses, but in the end, we created an opportunity for others. Who could tolerate this!
Even if Black Star had worked hard and contributed a lot, it would not do!
In the eyes of the three of them, Black Star's actions were like a knife in the rough.
Fighting the enemy together was just an excuse. The reason Black Star stayed behind to help them resist the external enemies was to use the forces of the galactic society to obtain the World Tree for him! That must be it!
The three of them actually had some guesses about Han Xiao's selfishness, but it was useless even if they guessed. They still had to rely on Black Star for the war, and it was almost destined to come to this point.
"We can't let Black Star succeed."
"Then what should we do? Should we fire at Black Star?"
"Are you crazy? We haven't really won yet, and you still dare to fight among yourselves in front of the enemy? What are you thinking?"
The officers were agitated and started arguing.
Simon made a prompt decision and shouted, "Inform the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations to stop providing cover fire to Black Star and attack the World Tree's main body. We must destroy it before Black Star succeeds!"
They had to stop Han Xiao, but they could not turn against him. They could only change their tactics at the last minute and race against Black Star to destroy the target.
However, everyone knew that the World Tree fleet would definitely protect the mother tree with their lives and stop their firepower. In addition, it was impossible for Black Star to not be prepared. He would definitely take some measures to stop them.
"We can only rely on ourselves …"
This thought flashed through the minds of the officers, and their attitudes were not optimistic.
The order was quickly passed down, and the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations did not think too much about it. They followed the order and poured firepower at the World Tree's main body. However, most of the attacks were stopped halfway by the World Tree fleet.
Just as the three Universal Civilizations' fleets were doing this, the Black Star Corps and the other Beyond Grade A organizations' joint forces also reacted. They immediately started to slack off and slack off. At the same time, they started to move, deliberately blocking the direction of the three Universal Civilizations' fleets.
The many Beyond Grade A Association members also took action. Some of them deliberately guided the World Tree fleet to attack the three Universal Civilizations' direct troops through various positions, while the others activated the 'regardless of friend or foe' AOE strategy, attacking both the enemy and the three Universal Civilizations' fleets, indirectly disrupting the three Universal Civilizations' formation.
Because many of their 'own people' were causing trouble, the cooperation of the Galactic Alliance Army was messed up. Their attacks suddenly slowed down, and their advance stopped. They were dragged into a chaotic battle by the berserk World Tree fleet and could not leave for the time being.
"Damn it!"
The Ethereal Pope was furious. He wanted to punch the table, but the remote projection could not touch the real thing. His fist passed through the table.
"I knew Black Star was prepared."
Marbruce's expression was also unfriendly.
Both sides knew their respective goals and were obstructing each other. However, on the surface, they still had to pretend to fight together, as if all their actions were to focus on attacking the World Tree. This situation could be said to be different dreams.
The three leaders did not want to affect the battle by burning the bridge after crossing the river, but they felt that they had no choice.
Due to the scheming on both sides, the Galactic Alliance Army was divided into three sides. One was the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations who wanted to destroy the World Tree's main body, and the other was the Beyond Grade A forces who were providing cover for Black Star.
The rest of the allies who were fighting seriously were shocked by the 'chaos' on both sides. They were stunned and did not know what was going on. Why did they suddenly cause trouble for each other?
There was chaos in the Galactic Alliance Army, but the conflict between the three Universal Civilizations and the Beyond Grade A organizations did not interfere much with Han Xiao's subduing of the World Tree.
Han Xiao's energy continued to seep into the depths of the World Tree's main body. The will of the mother tree had already been defeated by the Pivotal Snake and could not stop his invasion at all.
In the intertwining of their minds, illusions flashed before Han Xiao's eyes, and he saw the history of the World Tree's development.
When it was weak, it was worshipped by a certain race and offered all kinds of sacrifices. The will of the mother tree slowly sprouted during this process, providing all kinds of convenience for the development of the race under it while guiding them to expand outwards.
After completing the primitive accumulation, the World Tree embarked on the bloody path of rise and became a universe hunter. One race after another became its vassals, and one civilization after another became food. Gradually, it spread its branches and leaves, and its abilities became more and more abundant.
Countless memories appeared before Han Xiao's eyes. In a daze, he seemed to see a small sapling sprout and grow rapidly. In the end, it covered the stars and the sun, standing at the top of the starry sky. Countless wormholes appeared between the treetops, each leading to a different world. Endless cosmic radiation storms swept past, but they were like a breeze, only causing the lush leaves to sway gently. Trillions of clans and believers were spread all over the roots, worshipping devoutly. This scene exuded a majesty and mystery that made one revere.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Han Xiao's eyes cleared, and he retreated from the illusion. A new existence had appeared in his senses. It was the World Tree that had successfully formed a soul connection.
At this moment, the will of the mother tree finally reached its limit and was completely swallowed by the Pivotal Snake.
The next moment, the World Tree's main body stopped struggling and lost any ability to move independently. It instantly became a dead object.
Han Xiao's body trembled, and a stream of information flowed into his mind. It contained the various abilities of the World Tree, as well as the authority to control it.
Although the Tree King's authority was high, he was still a subordinate of the World Tree. Han Xiao's authority was above the mother tree and could not be controlled.
The surging new energy flowed into Han Xiao's body through the soul connection, providing a new boost and pushing his energy level up again.
"Hiss …"
Han Xiao could not help but take a deep breath. His entire body was filled with power.
He was about to retract the Pivotal Snake when he realized that it did not stop. Instead, it plunged into the World Tree's main body and merged with it.
Han Xiaoxin looked at the interface and saw a new suffix appear on the World Tree's name:
[World Tree (Complete Form)]!
"Eh, could it be that the Pivotal Snake is not only its natural enemy, but it can also merge with the World Tree and make up for it?"
Han Xiao was secretly surprised.
This ability was not reflected on the Pivotal Snake's attribute interface, and he had only seen it now.
Just as the Pivotal Snake merged with the World Tree, Han Xiao noticed a change. He had just formed a soul connection with the World Tree, and it was only the first level. It was still very weak, but at this moment, the soul connection was suddenly strengthened and became many times more tenacious.
If his previous progress on the World Tree was 10%, then it had increased to more than 80%!
"Could it be that the Pivotal Snake can help the controller better control the World Tree?"
Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Han Xiao felt the authority of the World Tree and could not be more satisfied. The independent will of the World Tree had been eliminated, and it had become a tool without thoughts. It was completely under his control and could be used without worry.
Due to the characteristics of devouring and transformation, the World Tree could be seen as a Universal Treasure that could grow. However, he did not need to start from scratch because the current World Tree was already in a mature state … Controlling it was equivalent to obtaining the loyalty of the entire World Tree Civilization!
The power of this thing was many times more terrifying than the inheritance of the Underworld that Hella and her sister had inherited!
"No wonder the three Universal Civilizations wanted to destroy my goal …"
Han Xiao turned to look at the battlefield, and his eyes flashed. He suddenly activated the authority of the World Tree and recalled all the World Tree fleets.
The World Tree fleet that was still fighting fearlessly a second ago suddenly stopped fighting. Without a word, they turned around and flew into the roots, turning back into Information Form and entering the mother tree world.
All of a sudden, the battlefield became much emptier, leaving only the troops of the Galactic Alliance Army.
Originally, the members of the World Tree were all prepared to fight to the death, but the moment the will of the mother tree disappeared and Han Xiao replaced the control, everyone's hostility disappeared without a trace. Just as they were feeling lost, a new mission arrived. They would not disobey the orders of the World Tree and directly cease fire and retreat.
"No matter how tragic their counterattack is, they're just a group of puppets being controlled. With a new master, they'll be obedient …"
Seeing this, Han Xiao sighed.
However, sympathy was one thing, but he would not foolishly let the World Tree Civilization go free. This was the foundation of the World Tree.
Seeing that the enemy had retreated and disappeared, the Galactic Alliance Army was stunned. They then looked at Han Xiao beside the tree and were overjoyed.
"Did we win?!"
"Boohoo! We're still alive! "
"Hahahaha! I knew I could trust Black Star!"
Countless soldiers were overjoyed, and the atmosphere of excitement and surprise quickly spread throughout the army. Every combat channel was filled with crazy cheers. Even many players who had not used up all their resurrection times were infected and cheered.
However, when most of the fleets stopped firing, the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations did not stop and continued to rain firepower on the World Tree.
Without the obstruction of the World Tree fleet, the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations were unimpeded. This scene immediately stopped everyone's cheers, attracting the shocked gazes of countless comrades.
"Oh? You still don't want to give up? You want to pretend that you don't know before I inform you and try to destroy the World Tree one last time? "
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. He knew what the three Universal Civilizations were thinking.
He waved his hand, and a thick psionic barrier surrounded the World Tree, blocking the bombardment of the fleet.
At the same time, Han Xiao shouted in the channel, "We can stop firing now.
"We can cease fire now. I have the World Tree under control."
After waiting for a few seconds, the Ethereal Pope's serious voice suddenly sounded in the channel.
"In that case, destroy it. It's still a threat in the world!"
"There's no need. I've already subdued the World Tree."
"Not enough! Only by destroying it can we completely eliminate the hidden dangers! Even if it's you, we won't be at ease! "
"Burning the bridge so quickly?" Han Xiao smiled faintly.
"You're mistaken. We're just thinking about maintaining galactic peace. No one in the galactic society wants to face such a disaster again!" the Ethereal Pope said with a deep voice.
Han Xiao shook his head. "Stop. Don't make the situation too ugly. We just won. Do you want the other allies to see the internal strife between us now?"
Before the Ethereal Pope could reply, Marbruce interrupted coldly.
"Black Star, this is the only thing we can't compromise on! You're the one who should stop. You've already contributed enough. Don't be stubborn! Let go. You're still the hero of the universe who ended the war! "
"Looks like you won't cry until you see the coffin …"
Han Xiao shook his head.
As soon as he said that, the expressions of the three leaders and the officers turned solemn.
They knew that Black Star would not give up easily and were already prepared for a conflict. However, their goal was only to eliminate the World Tree's main body. Although they were suspected of burning the bridge after crossing it, the starting point was to eliminate the hidden dangers and be accepted by others … In their opinion, if Black Star started killing them, it would definitely arouse public anger. The reputation accumulated in the war would immediately collapse, and the other civilization allies present would stand on their side to resist Black Star.
Therefore, although they were nervous, the three of them were not afraid that Black Star would fight back. They even looked forward to such a development.
However, the next moment, Marbruce and the other two widened their eyes.
Han Xiao did not make a move. Instead, he raised his hand and patted the World Tree. The huge World Tree's main body rapidly shrank, turning into a green stream of light and flying into Han Xiao's palm, disappearing in front of everyone.
"This …"
Marbruce and the other two were stunned.
The previous war with the World Tree fleet had given them the impression that the mother tree's main body could not move, so they felt that they had the upper hand. Therefore, the three of them were willing to take the risk of angering Black Star to gather a large army to destroy the World Tree on the spot.
However, the three of them did not expect Black Star to be able to put away the World Tree and do something that the Blessed Race of the World Tree could not do previously. They could not react in time … What was there to destroy? Their plan fell through.
In fact, Han Xiao could not do this in the beginning because the Pivotal Snake had increased his Soul Connection by a few stages. Only then did he unlock more authorities, including storing the World Tree into the inner space of a Transcendent.
Strictly speaking, the inner space was also a type of secondary dimension. It could also allow the World Tree to take root in it. This way, the inner space would be greatly strengthened and become extremely tough. In addition, he would not have to worry about the enemy targeting the weakness of the World Tree's main body. It was equivalent to carrying the mother tree with him. It was very convenient.
Han Xiao had originally planned to use other methods to force the three Universal Civilizations to stop, but a head-on conflict was inevitable, and it would more or less damage his reputation. However, with this new operation, he changed his plan at the last minute and directly made the three Universal Civilizations lose their target. This would save him a lot of effort.
Just as the three leaders were at a loss, Han Xiao's remote projection suddenly appeared in the strategic command center.
"What do the three of you say now?"
Marbruce and the other two had uncertain expressions, but they did not respond.
Only when the World Tree's main body was exposed in front of the army would they have a chance to take advantage of it. Now, there was no chance. As for making Black Star hand it over voluntarily … the three of them knew what was going on. No matter how arrogant they were, they did not think they had that much face.
"Black Star, you've succeeded. You must be very happy now …"
Marbruce's expression was complicated, and his tone was sour. There was also a hint of unwillingness and mockery.
"Yes, I'm indeed very happy. The war is finally over, and everyone is cheering. Aren't you guys happy about this?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
The three of them had solemn expressions.
It would be strange if we were happy. Who knew if we had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den …
Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled and did not continue to provoke them.
Anyway, he had already taken advantage of them, so there was no need to act innocent. There would be plenty of time to settle the score in the future, and he did not plan to argue with the three of them about what happened earlier. Now was not the right time.
This time, Han Xiao changed the topic and said, "Alright, let's not talk too much. Let's get down to business. I have a plan, and I hope you guys will cooperate."
"… What plan?"
The three of them were surprised.
We've just won, what is Black Star up to now?
"Seal the news of us defeating the World Tree Civilization and don't leak it out. The composition of this Galactic Alliance Army is complicated, so it's best to control them for the time being."
"Uh … What are you trying to do?" Marbruce was confused.
Han Xiao smiled and said, "Haven't you been investigating the matter?
"Haven't you guys been investigating who leaked the information? I said it was a third party, but you guys didn't believe me. Coincidentally, I obtained the technology of the Information Form Warning Network from the World Tree. I don't need to explain the effect. You guys have all experienced it. This way, we might be able to find traces of a third party.
The eyes of Marbruce and the other two lit up.
