Chapter 1412 Change

At the expeditionary army outpost.

An exploratory fleet was docked at the dock. Harrison and his teammates alighted from the spaceship, took off their life-preserving helmets before taking a deep breath.

“I’m dying of suffocation. The air in the base’s large ecological shield is still the best. In the past few days outside, the gas filters of the spaceships have all become smelly.”

“Really? Why don’t I feel anything?” “I wonder if it’s because us Gukates have a better sense of smell than most galactic species?”

“It’s a pity that I didn’t gain anything from this trip.”

Hearing his crewmates engage in idle chatter, Harrison rubbed his forehead in frustration.

Ever since he unearthed this ally, the Realmless King, the upper echelons had allowed him to lead an expedition team alone. From a follower to a team commander, he had a certain degree of freedom to make exploration plans.

Black Star had always said that Harrison was lucky, and Harrison was willing to believe that it was true. He secretly hoped that his luck would help him find the World Tree’s main body and end the war as soon as possible. However, after so many years, the luck that he had high hopes for seemed to have become dormant. Other than escaping from the pursuit of the World Tree’s Blessed Race a few times, he did not have any new achievements in exploring

Now that the expeditionary army’s exploration progress had come to a standstill, Harrison was both anxious and worried. As the saying went, if one walked by the river all the time, one’s shoes would inevitably get wet. The expeditionary army kept wandering around the territory of the World Tree, and they met their pursuers time and time again. He felt that there might come a time when they would fail.

At this moment, one of the team members patted Harrison on the shoulder and said, “Captain, how long do we rest this time before we start the next exploration?”.

“Ten days,” Harrison replied.

“Got it. Let’s go to the base cafeteria for lunch. Want to come?”

“No, I’ll report to the logistics department and have them repair and maintain the spaceship. I still have to write a routine report.” Harrison waved his hand.

“Alright, we’ll bring you some food. What do you want to eat?”

“Then I want…”

Harrison was just about to say something when he suddenly stopped. At that moment, a chilling feeling gripped his heart.

Without getting an answer, the team member blinked in confusion and asked again, “Why aren’t you saying anything? What do you want to eat?”

Harrison’s mind was in a mess, and he felt a strong sense of vigilance. He could not help but look up at the scenery outside the port. “What are you looking at?” The team member turned his head and followed Harrison’s gaze. The only thing he saw was the dim yellow light of the setting sun in the secondary dimension. It was like an oil painting with the aura of history, but he did not see anything unusual.

“Something’s not right…”

Harrison became warier.

The team member wanted to ask more, but at this moment, the dimension barrier in the distance suddenly lit up with a blue light and quickly turned into a huge space vortex. It was as if a hole had been torn open, and the green and lustrous World Tree Blessed Race swarmed out like locusts, covering the sky and covering the earth. They were like tiny green dots that quickly enlarged in everyone’s vision.

“Wuwuwu-Alert! The space barrier has been broken! Enemy attack!”

An ear-piercing alarm suddenly resounded throughout the base. All the expeditionary army members who were resting and waiting in the base jumped in shock. The sound of anxious shouts, anxious footsteps, and chaotic crashing sounds created a riotous symphony.

“Everyone, retreat at full speed! Prepare to self-destruct! The defense team will be staying behind to buy time!”

The roar of the person in charge of the outpost sounded in the communication channel. Half an hour ago, an expedition team had self-destructed and lost contact. He was still investigating this matter and was not sure if there had been any intelligence leaks. He did not expect the World Tree to arrive so quickly. The World Tree was extremely powerful in the secondary dimension, and the defense of this outpost was limited. The coordinates of the dimension had already been exposed, and if they fought head-on, it would attract more of the World Tree Blessed Race. In the preset plan that the three Universal Civilizations had planned, if this outpost was attacked, the first priority would be to self-destruct and clear the traces, while the expeditionary army would quickly retreat. Unless they had no choice, they would not choose to fight head-on.

“Let’s go!”

Harrison’s expression changed drastically, and he could not care less about anything else. He quickly called his teammates to board the dock and started the engine.

The outpost became chaotic all of a sudden, and the automatic defense team was hastily activated to fight against the endless stream of World Tree Blessed Race to buy time. Meanwhile, the expeditionary army members behind swarmed toward the warehouse and quickly found their vehicles to evacuate.

Streams of light shot out from the base and scattered to escape into different secondary dimensions.

Very soon, the vanguard troops of the World Tree Family started fighting head-on with the defense team of the outpost. In an instant, countless battleships exploded into fireworks.

At the same time, the fortresses in the outpost activated their self-destruct sequence and exploded. The gate that connected to the main material universe was also destroyed by the physical missiles fired by the base. Flames soared into the sky, black smoke filled the air, and countless debris rained down.

The defense team was quickly destroyed, and the outpost exploded violently. The same scene happened in multiple secondary dimensions. The World Tree obtained precise coordinates half an hour ago, quickly assembled, and located their destinations directly. A large-scale blitzkrieg was carried out, catching the three Universal Civilizations off guard. The bridgehead that the three Universal Civilizations had built in the territory of the Realmless King were destroyed one after another, and many expedition teams had to escape.

On the other side, the Realmless King’s residence.

A magic portal shining with green light suddenly opened, and the Secret Tree King slowly walked out. The first thing he saw was the black mountain range and the huge throne in the middle of the dimension.

However, there was no sign of the Realmless King on the throne. “Am I late? Or was it a coincidence that he’s not at home?”

Secret Tree King activated his perception magic and realized that the Realmless King was not hiding anywhere in the area. He could not help but feel a little regretful. The stabilization zone controlled by the Realmless King had some reputation in this secondary dimension area. The World Tree Blessed Race had also heard about it, but they had never paid attention to it.

When he found out from the expedition team that the three Universal Civilizations were working together with the Realmless King, the Secret Tree King had wanted to go straight to the Realmless King’s base camp and turn him into a member of the World Tree. However, he realized that the Realmless King was not at home, so he could only give up on this plan for the time being.

The Secret Tree King raised his hand and clenched his fist. Magical runes shot out and turned into a surveillance spell that took root in this secondary dimension. The moment the Realmless King returned to his base, he would come and attack again.

After casually setting up the spell, the Secret Tree King summoned the teleportation gate and stepped into it. The vortex quickly shrank and disappeared with him.

At the same time, in the secondary dimension at the edge of the Realmless King’s territory.

Space was slowly collapsing, and wave after wave of dimensional energy was being devoured by the Pivotal Snake hatchling. At the side, the Realmless King who was in charge of feeding it suddenly stopped, and his heart tightened.

He had a basic sense within the territory that he controlled. Just now, he had sensed that the World Tree Army had raided the secondary dimensions that were lent to the three Universal Civilizations one after another. Almost all the outposts had fallen, and the most terrifying thing was that an uninvited guest had arrived at his headquarters. It was obvious that their target was him.
