Chapter 1327 - Navigation (2/2)
Han Xiao was speechless.
“You didn’t call me here just for this, did you? If there’s nothing serious, I’m going back.”
“I’m not that bored. Of course, I have business to discuss with you.”
Aesop calmed himself down, threw away the distracting thoughts, and said solemnly, “I recently saw a new prophecy. I saw an ominous cloud looming over the galactic society, containing blood and fire, roars and screams. It’s very likely that a disaster is brewing… Do you still remember my prophecy? Endless wormholes opened, and countless fleets invaded. The two seem to be related, and an unknown war might break out in the near future.”
“Is that so?”
Han Xiao raised his brows. Aesop’s prophecy probably referred to the World Tree.
“You don’t seem surprised?” Aesop blinked.
“Since you saw a prophecy, there’s no need to hide it from you. You must be very curious about the reason the three Universal Civilizations compromised so much. This is the reason.” Han Xiao shrugged.
Aesop was shocked. “So there are enemies. This makes sense. The three Universal Civilizations had no choice but to unite their forces, so they reached an agreement with you.”
“That’s about it. I can give you some information. The enemy this time is very difficult to deal with. It might be the strongest enemy the three Universal Civilizations have seen in all these years. As for the details, I can’t tell you for now. Just be mentally prepared,” Han Xiao said.
“…So a universal war is about to break out. Sigh, the days of peace are always so short. If it’s an external enemy, it won’t be a small war. Who knows how many people will die then?” Aesop sighed.
As he spoke, his expression turned solemn. “Black Star, if the situation isn’t good, I hope you can leave with Ames. There’s no need for you to be buried with the three Universal Civilizations.”
“… How tragic was the scene you foresaw that made you so pessimistic?”
Han Xiao raised his brows.
Aesop said with a serious expression, “I’m just taking precautions. Remember, if the situation isn’t right, don’t walk down the wrong path.”
In the Void Dimension, at Kasuyi’s palace, Kasuyi sat at one end of the table, facing Manison’s remote projection. On the table was a virtual interface of Wayne Cards. The two of them were playing cards and chatting casually. Kasuyi casually threw out a card and slowly said, “Now that the association has an official position, according to Black Star’s personality, he should strike while the iron is hot and carry out the next step of the plan. But he’s keeping a low profile and has yet to start a new plan. This isn’t like him.”
Manison looked at his cards and casually replied, “Black Star definitely has his own plans.”
“Recently, he’s been acting mysteriously, connecting with the three Universal Civilizations. I don’t know what he’s doing. Speaking of which, the three Universal Civilizations’ concessions are quite strange.” Kasuyi crossed his arms.
Manison did not mind. “The three Universal Civilizations’ choice is obviously due to pressure, and there are only a few scenarios where pressure would worry them. Based on the current situation, the most likely scenario is the invasion of the enemy. Black Star should have reached an agreement with the three Universal Civilizations to fight the enemy together. Let’s just wait.”
“Not necessarily.” Kasuyi shook his head.
Because he had information about the Iterations, he thought more about it. Other than the possibility of foreign enemies, he also felt that the three Universal Civilizations might have discovered the existence of the Iterations and thus dropped the conflict. However, this was all speculation. No matter what, he supported Han Xiao’s current actions.
Although Han Xiao did not reveal the truth of the World Tree, many Beyond Grade As had thought about it over the past few days and roughly guessed that the reason for the current situation was the existence of external enemies.
However, since Black Star did not announce it, many of the association members had a tacit understanding and pretended not to know. In fact, many Beyond Grade As were already secretly preparing for battle.
Somewhere in the unexplored universe, the World Tree exploration team’s spaceship had changed direction and was moving at full speed in hyperdrive. The crew in the cockpit were all excited, and there were a few trembling old Kunde Race members tied up in the corner.
“After so many years, I’ve finally found some prey.”
The captain stared at the coordinates on the screen with excitement.
After wandering in the universe for so many years, they had been searching for unknown civilizations alone. The universe was so vast, so their chances were like finding a needle in a haystack. To the long-distance fleet, this was akin to a punishment of exile, and they only had a harvest today.
Not long ago, they discovered an escape pod with low technology and captured the beings inside. Through various methods, they obtained information from the memories of these intelligent creatures who called themselves the Kunde Race.
When the dynasty defeated the Kunde Race civilization, there were batches of people who escaped through the escape pods. After many years of travel and some chance factors, some survivors left the explored universe, and this escape pod was one of the escapees.
The Kunde Race’s memories of the explored universe were only at the stage of the war between the Crimson Dynasty and them. Because they were a native civilization of the Flickering World and had never integrated into the galactic society, they did not know much about the explored universe.
However, to the World Tree exploration team, the most valuable information was the coordinates recorded in this escape pod, as well as the navigation records of the past few years. This gave them a navigation target that pointed to the original location of the Kunde Race civilization, which was the Flickering World Star Field.
Due to the uniqueness of the World Tree mental network, every exploration team was a universe coordinate recorder that was connected in real time. The coordinates of every location would be sent to the World Tree simultaneously.
This meant that as long as the exploration team arrived at their destination, they would be able to obtain the coordinates of their enemies. After the World Tree base analyzed it, it would be able to use the wormhole generator to send a large number of troops over. The three Universal Civilizations had also used this method when entering the World Tree Civilization’s territory for the first time. It was basically a spatial technology that the advanced civilizations used.
At the same time, the exploration team was also responsible for carrying out intelligence work. They would infiltrate the unknown civilization and collect information about the other party. The World Tree would only invade on a large scale if they knew about the other party’s state. They would not start a war the moment they discovered their prey. “I wonder what level of civilization the prey we discovered this time is. Could it be the nest of the outsider who recently caused a ruckus in our territory? Tsk, I have to be careful!” The captain muttered to himself and was extremely vigilant. He had also learned of Han Xiao’s battle in the World Tree Civilization.
If the coordinates were really the hometown of that brave outsider, the danger level would be raised to the highest!
