They immediately started to slack off and moved around to block the attacks of the three Universal Civilizations.
The members of the Beyond Grade A Association also started to move. Some of them deliberately guided the World Tree fleet to attack the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations through various positions, while others activated their AOE fighting style that did not differentiate between friend and foe. They attacked the enemy and the three Universal Civilizations together, indirectly disrupting the three Universal Civilizations’ formation.
Because many of their ‘allies’ were causing trouble, the coordination of the Galactic Alliance Army was disrupted. Their attacks suddenly slowed down, and their advancement became stagnant. They were dragged into the chaotic battle by the berserk World Tree fleet and could not withdraw for a while. “Damn it!”
The 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 told you Black Star was prepared.” Marbruce also had an unfriendly expression. Both parties were aware of their respective goals and were obstructing each other, but on the surface, they still had to pretend to fight together as if all their actions were focused on attacking the World Tree. This situation could be said to be hiding different purposes behind the semblance of the accord. The three leaders did not want to go against the others and affect the war, but they felt that they had no choice.
Due to the conflict between the two sides, the galactic alliance army had split into three parties. One was the three Universal Civilizations’ direct troops that wanted to destroy World Tree’s main body, and the other was the Beyond Grade A forces who provided cover for Black Star and obstructed the three Universal Civilizations. The final party was the remaining allied forces who were fighting seriously and were shocked by the ‘chaos’ on the two sides.
They did not know what was going on. Why did the other two suddenly drag each other down? The galactic alliance army was in chaos, but the conflict between the three Universal Civilizations and the Beyond Grade A organizations did not affect Han Xiao’s process of subduing 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 completely destroyed by the Pivotal Snake, and there was no way to stop his assault.
Amidst the spiritual entanglement, illusions flashed past Han Xiao’s eyes, and he saw the history of the World Tree’s growth.
When it was weak, it was worshiped by certain races and was offered all kinds of sacrifices. The will of the Mother Tree slowly took shape during this process, providing convenience to the races under them while guiding them to expand outward. After completing the accumulation, the World Tree then embarked on the bloody path of rising up, becoming a Universal Predator. One race after another became vassals, and civilizations became food. Gradually, it started to grow, and its abilities became richer and richer.
Countless memories appeared before Han Xiao’s eyes. In a daze, he seemed to see a small tree sprout growing rapidly, eventually covering the sun and standing on top of the starry sky. Countless wormholes appeared between the tree branches, each leading to a different world. Endless cosmic radiation storms swept past, but it was like a breeze, only able to make the lush leaves sway slightly. Trillions of Blessed Race and Believers were spread out on the roots, worshipping sincerely. This scene gave off a majestic and mysterious feeling. Buzz!
Suddenly, Han Xiao’s eyes cleared, and he stepped out of the illusion. A new existence had appeared in his senses. It was the World Tree that had successfully formed the Soul Connection.
At this moment, the will of the mother tree finally reached its limit, and it was completely devoured by the Pivotal Snake. The next moment, the World Tree’s main body stopped struggling and lost any ability to move independently, turning into 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 control rights. Although the authority of the Tree Kings was high, they were still the subordinates of the World Tree, while Han Xiao’s authority was above the Mother Tree and was not under any restrictions.
The surging new energy flowed into Han Xiao’s body through the soul connection, providing him with a new enhancement, pushing his energy level up.
Hiss…
Han Xiao could not help but take a deep breath. His entire body was filled with energy. Just as he was about to take back the Pivotal Snake, he realized that the Pivotal Snake did not stop. Instead, it dived into the World Tree and merged into it.
Han Xiao looked at the interface and saw a new suffix in the name of the World Tree.
(World Tree (Complete Form)]! “Hmm? Could it be that the Pivotal Snake was not only a natural enemy, but it could also fuse with the World Tree and complete it?”
Han Xiao was shocked.
This ability did not appear on the attribute panel of the Pivotal Snake. He had only seen it now.
Just as the Pivotal Snake fused into the World Tree, Han Xiao noticed a change. He had just formed a Soul Connection with the World Tree, and it was only the shallowest layer. It was still very weak, but at this moment, the Soul Connection was suddenly strengthened, and it became many times stronger.
If his previous invasion progress on the World Tree was 10%, it was now more than 80%!
“Could it be that the Pivotal Snake can help the controller better control the World Tree?”
Han Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Han Xiao felt the power of the World Tree. He could not be more satisfied. The World Tree’s independent will had been cleared, and it had become a tool without any thoughts. It was completely controlled by him and could be used at ease.
Due to the devouring and conversion characteristics, the World Tree could be regarded as a growth type of Universal Treasure. However, he did not need to start from zero because the World Tree had already matured. Controlling it was equivalent to gaining the loyalty of the entire World Tree Civilization!
The power of this thing was countless times more terrifying than the inheritance of the Underworld that Hila and Aurora had!
“Cannot blame the three Universal Civilizations for wanting to destroy my goal…” Han Xiao turned to look at the battlefield. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly activated the authority of the World Tree to recall all the World Tree fleets. The World Tree fleet, which had been fighting back fearlessly a second ago, suddenly stopped fighting. Without saying a word, they turned around and flew into the roots, turning back into their information form and entering the mother tree world.
For a moment, the battlefield was much emptier, and only the galactic alliance army was left.
Originally, the members of the World Tree were all filled with the desire to fight to the death. However, the moment the will of the mother tree disappeared and Han Xiao replaced the control, everyone’s hostility disappeared. Just as they were feeling lost, a new mission arrived. They would not disobey the orders of the World Tree and immediately ceased fire and retreated.
“No matter how tragic the counterattack was, they were just a bunch of puppets. With the owner changed, they have to listen obediently…”
Seeing this, Han Xiao sighed. However, sympathy was sympathy, and he would not foolishly let the World Tree Civilization go free. This was the World Tree’s own foundation.
Seeing that the enemies had left, the galactic alliance army was stunned. They then looked at Han Xiao beside the tree and were overjoyed.
“We won ?”
“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 entire army. Every combat channel was filled with wild cheers, and even many players who had yet to spend all their revivals were affected and cheere
d along
However, when most of the fleets stopped firing, the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations still did not stop firing at the World Tree itself.
Without the obstruction of the World Tree fleet, the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations had a clear way. This scene immediately caused the cheers to stop, attracting the shocked gazes of countless comrades.
“Oh? You still haven’t given up. Do you want to pretend you know nothing and try to destroy the World Tree one last time while I haven’t notified you?”
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. He knew what the three Universal Civilizations were thinking
He suddenly waved his hand, and a thick psionic barrier surrounded the World Tree to block the attacks of the fleet.
At the same time, Han Xiao shouted in the channel.
“You can stop the fire. I’ve controlled the World Tree.”
After waiting for a few seconds, the Pope’s solemn voice suddenly sounded in the channel.
“Since that’s the case, let’s destroy it. It’s still a threat to the world!”
“There’s no need. I’ve already subdued the World Tree.”
“It’s not enough! Only by destroying it will we be able to completely eliminate the hidden threat! Even if it’s you, we won’t be at ease!”
“Do you want to cast us aside so soon?” Han Xiao said with a smile that was not a smile.
“You’re mistaken. We’re only doing this to maintain the peace of the galaxy. No one in the galactic society wants to face such a disaster again!” the Pope said with a deep voice.
Han Xiao shook his head. “Stop it. Don’t make the situation too ugly. We just won. Do you want the other allies to see our internal strife?”
Before the Pope could reply, Marbruce interrupted.
“Black Star, this is the only thing we can’t compromise on! You’re the one who should stop. You’ve already made enough contributions, don’t be stubborn! Let go, you’re still the Universe’s Hero of the Final War!”
“Looks like you won’t regret it until things are too late…”
Han Xiao shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the three leaders and the officers turned grave.
They knew that Black Star would not give up so easily, and they were already prepared for a conflict to break out. However, their goal was only to get rid of the World Tree’s main body. Although they were suspected of burning the bridge after crossing it, their goal to get rid of the hidden threat could be accepted by others. In their opinion, if Black Star went on a killing spree against them, it would definitely incur the wrath of the masses. The reputation that he had accumulated during the war would immediately collapse, and the allies of the other civilizations present would also stand on their side to resist Black Star together.
Thus, despite being nervous, the three of them were not afraid of Black Star fighting back. In fact, they were even looking forward to this development.
However, the next moment, the three of them widened their eyes.
Han Xiao did not make a move. Instead, he raised his hand and patted the World Tree. The huge World Tree shrank rapidly and turned into a green stream of light that flew into Han Xiao’s palm, disappearing in front of everyone.
“This…”
Marbruce and the other two were stunned.
The battle with the World Tree fleet previously had given them the impression that the mother tree could not move, so they felt that they had the upper hand. Thus, the three of them would rather take the risk of angering Black Star and gather their forces to destroy the World Tree.
However, the three of them did not expect Black Star to be able to store the World Tree and do something that the World Tree Blessed Race could not. They could not react in time. What was there to destroy now? In fact, Han Xiao could not do this in the beginning. It was all due to the Pivotal Snake strengthening his Soul Connection exponentially, crossing many stages. This allowed him to unlock more functions, including putting the World Tree into the Transcendent’s inner space.
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 receive a huge enhancement and become extremely tough. Furthermore, there was no need to care about the weakness of the enemy targeting 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 the direct conflict was unavoidable, and it would damage his reputation more or less. However, with this new ability, he changed his plan at the last minute and 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 appeared in the strategic command center.
“What do the three of you say now?”
The faces of Marbruce and the other two flickered. They did not respond.
Only when the World Tree’s main body was exposed in front of the army would they have a chance. There was no chance now. As for letting Black Star take the initiative to hand it over… the three of them knew it. No matter how arrogant they were, they did not think that they had that much face.
“Black Star, you’ve succeeded. You must be very happy now…”
Marbruce had a complicated expression on his face. His tone was bitter, and there was a hint of unwillingness and mockery.
“Yes, I am indeed very happy. The war has finally ended, and everyone is cheering. Are you not happy about this?” Han Xiao raised his brows.
The three of them had solemn expressions.
It would be weird if we were happy. Who knows if we have just left the tiger’s den but entered the wolf’s den again…
Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled and did not continue teasing them.
Since he had already taken advantage of them, there was no need for him to pretend to be innocent. There would be plenty of time for him to settle scores in the future. He did not plan to argue with the three of them about what had happened just now. This was not the right time.
This time, Han Xiao changed the topic and said, “Alright, let’s not talk anymore. Let’s get down to business. I have a plan, and I hope you guys can cooperate.” “…What plan?”
The three of them were surprised.
We just won, what is Black Star planning?
“Don’t leak the news of us defeating the World Tree Civilization. This Galactic Alliance Army’s composition is complicated. It’s best to control them for the time being.”
“Er… What are you planning?” Marbruce was confused. Han Xiao smiled and said,
“Haven’t you guys been trying to find out who leaked the information? I said it was a third party, but you guys just don’t believe me. I just happened to obtain the Information Form Warning Network technology from the World Tree. I don’t have to explain the effects. You guys have already experienced it. This way, you might be able to find traces of a third party. What do you guys think?” The eyes of the trio lit up.
Chapter 1442: Further Scheme. The Things Are Still There, but Men Are No More the Same Ones. |
This proposal was very constructive, and the three leaders immediately took it seriously. After pondering for a while, they quickly came to a conclusion with Han Xiao and told the strategic command center to call back the three Universal Civilizations’ direct troops. Their goal was to destroy the World Tree, not to fall out with Black Star. Although they were not willing to let Han Xiao subdue the World Tree, there was nothing they could do.
Marbruce and the others could only suppress the fear in their hearts and wait for a targeted plan to be discussed in the future. In any case, there was nothing they could do now. They could not really start the second round of the war with Black Star… Who wins and who loses was secondary. There was a third party who might still be eyeing them
from the dark.
Even if they were going to fall out with each other, they should at least wait until they had a direct descendant of the Transcendent Grade. Wuornos was their greatest hope, and he might advance one day.
The direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations stopped firing and silently withdrew from the encirclement. The tension on the battlefield quickly dissipated.
The brief confrontation between Han Xiao and the three Universal Civilizations had stunned the soldiers of the Galactic Alliance Army. They realized that the conflict between the two sides had reemerged, and they were extremely nervous. They were afraid that an internal conflict would break out as soon as they won. Seeing that both sides had stopped fighting, countless people heaved a sigh of relief. They only felt that their emotions were in turmoil, and their entire bodies felt a little weak. No matter what kind of conflict there was, the three Universal Civilizations were the main force in resisting the World Tree, and Black Star was the hero who changed the battle. They were all heroes in the war. They had just joined forces to defeat the foreign enemy, and now they were turning against each other in front of everyone. It was hard to accept. No one wished for their joy to turn into sorrow.
However, the World Tree was not destroyed but subdued by Black Star. This reality made many people feel strange.
Although Black Star had contributed too much to the war, this last wave made them feel like Black Star was using them to achieve his goal… Of course, there might be a reason for Black Star’s actions, but the impression he gave everyone was still rather complicated.
However, they did not think too much about it and quickly threw this thought into the back of their minds.
The conflict between Black Star and the three Universal Civilizations was a conflict between the big shots, and it was not their place to worry. At this moment, these front-line combatants only wanted to enjoy the joy of victory and the joy of surviving the calamity.
