Chapter 1409 Special Sense, Birth of a Pivotal Snake

While the three tree kings were discussing, they suddenly paused at the same time and fell silent. They all sensed a message from the mother tree’s consciousness.

A strange light flashed across the Ancestral Tree King’s eyes as he slowly said,

“Mother tree sensed that another natural enemy has appeared and told us to kill it.”

“Is it that strange creature again? It’s actually not extinct.” The Secret Tree King was a little interested.

The Ancestral Tree Dynasty nodded. “Hmm, the secondary dimension is suitable for you. Go and lead our kindred to resolve this matter. Try to find its location before the natural enemy enters adulthood.”

“I’ll try my best.” The Secret Tree King did not comment further.

This was not the first time the World Tree had discovered a natural enemy. In the early years of the civilization, there were records of natural enemies invading.

The restraining relationship between the two sides came from the abnormal entanglement at the information state level. There was a two-way connection, so the World Tree Civilization had always paid attention to the existence of natural enemies.

The World Tree’s ability to sense its natural enemy was divided into two phases. When the natural enemy was in its infancy, the World Tree would only know of its existence and would not be able to sense its exact location. As the natural enemy gradually matured, the sense towards it would also become stronger. When any natural enemy entered adulthood, the World Tree would be able to track their location accurately to kill them, eliminating a large number of natural enemies.

However, the World Tree could only sense its natural enemy after it was born, and it could not discover the embryo that the natural enemy had given birth to. Therefore, it had never been able to kill all of them. In the end, there were still some that managed to slip through the net, so it could only settle for the next best thing — taking the initiative to kill the infants.

In fact, the World Tree had always been focused on expanding in the secondary dimension, and part of the reason was that it was dedicated to exterminating its natural enemy. Once it sensed something, it would immediately inform the Tree Kings to kill the younglings of its natural enemy as soon as possible and not allow its natural enemy to enter adulthood. This was a very high priority, and only the Tree Kings knew of the details.

The Fortitude Tree King could not help but ask, “What about the frontline war?”

“Let’s first eliminate the mother tree’s natural enemy. It seems like our operation will have to be postponed.” The Ancestral Tree King glanced at him, thought for a moment, and added, “Don’t forget to water the Subduing Tree King.”

Secondary Dimension World, expeditionary army outpost.

A huge ring-shaped teleportation gate was suspended in the dimensional space. This was the gate that the three Universal Civilizations used to enter and exit from the main universe. There were many secondary dimension fortresses around it, and groups of exploration teams came and went.

With a flash of light, Han Xiao’s figure appeared on the special transportation platform.

The person in charge of the outpost was already waiting there. He immediately came forward.

“Your Excellency Black Star, you’re finally here.”

“How’s the situation now?” Han Xiao looked at him and asked.

“That embryo’s absorption rate of dimension energy suddenly increased by a million times. I don’t know if it’s good or bad. You should go take a look yourself. I’ve already prepared the vehicle for you.” “Alright… By the way, how did the Realmless King react?”

“He went there a step earlier. He should be observing the changes in the embryo at a close distance.”

“Alright, I’ll go too.”

Han Xiao nodded.

After more than ten years of development, the secondary dimension that the Realmless King had lent out had already been modified by the three Universal Civilizations. Currently, the three Universal Civilizations were using this outpost as a springboard to greatly increase the expeditionary army’s strength. Furthermore, the three Universal Civilizations used their tradition of being hooligans to convince the Realmless King to take out more territories for them to build their bases. Currently, this area had already become a ‘shallow dimension’, where the three Universal Civilizations could enter and leave to and from the main universe directly.

Even if the Realmless King was unwilling to provoke the World Tree, he was now tied to the same war chariot by the three Universal Civilizations.

Han Xiao sat on the carrier, set the coordinates of the dimension, and started the engine. The heavy particle thruster spewed out raging flames and quickly turned into an invisible tail stream. The conventional engine transitioned to the dimensional shuttle engine, accelerated to the critical point, and disappeared from the spot, performing a hyperdrive jump. The shuttle entered a colorful tunnel. Not long after, the carrier suddenly shook, and the light outside the window disappeared, turning into a black secondary dimension space. They had arrived at their destination.

A grayish-white embryo floated in the middle of the dimension, guarded by a large number of mechanical troops.

The projection of the Realmless King was right beside him. When it sensed the vehicle entering, it could not help but turn around. When it realized that it was Han Xiao, it approached him.

“Black Star, you’re here too.”

“Tell me about the situation.” Han Xiao flew to his side.

“The energy of this dimension is flowing into the embryo at an extremely high speed. If this continues, it will collapse very soon. I feel that this embryo is about to be born…” the Realmless King explained.

Han Xiao nodded and looked at the embryo.

The gray fog under the membrane was originally very stable, but at this time, it was like boiling water, and it was fluctuating wildly. The long black shadows inside were becoming more and more distinct, attacking the membrane from the inside, causing bumps to appear on the embryo.

In Han Xiao’s senses, this embryo seemed to have turned into an energy black hole. The quality, space, and energy of this secondary dimension were all collapsing toward the embryo and being devoured. When some eggs were born, they would eat the eggshells to replenish their nutrition. In Han Xiao’s opinion, the second dimension where the Pivotal Snake Egg drained its energy from, like a parasite, was similar.

Not long after, the secondary dimension became riddled with holes. The remaining debris was quickly eaten up by the Pivotal Snake Egg, and the embryo was directly exposed in the space storm.

Han Xiao had already retracted his mechanical army. He did not interfere with the changes of the Pivotal Snake Egg and watched from the side with the Realmless King.

Chi!
