The feeling of High-Dimensional Apocalypse Teleporter was almost identical to that of the Sovereign Teleportation. In a flash, the body felt light, and the person arrived at the target location. The Three Universal Civilizations fleets around the person disappeared, leaving behind an empty space in space.
"This is the territory of the World Tree Civilization... Let's determine our location first."
Han Xiao quickly activated various detection devices to observe the surrounding environment, and it was indeed a no-man's land.
The explorations of the Three Universal Civilizations were not entirely useless; at least they stole the star map of the World Tree's territory from the internet, which greatly facilitated his infiltration operation.
However, since it is inconvenient for me to connect to the World Tree Civilization's network, I cannot enjoy network navigation and positioning. I need to find a planet as a coordinate point to confirm my specific location, and then let the backup independent artificial intelligence synchronize the star map model. Using spatial ranging technology and the calculation formulas of star distance and horizon, it creates a self-use navigation device. It does not require a network connection. Although there will be some errors, it is basically sufficient.
Having arrived alone in the territory of the World Tree Civilization, it is inconvenient to contact the Explored Universe, so remote assistance is currently unavailable, and we can only act according to our own circumstances.
Han Xiao entered the Quantum Network Vision without intruding into any node. Instead, he used this method to examine densely populated areas to determine where people lived and thus avoid them.
"I wonder what detection methods the World Tree Civilization uses..."
Han Xiao's eyes flickered. Ever since arriving in the territory of the World Tree Civilization, a faint sense of crisis had been lingering in his heart, as if simply staying in the territory of the World Tree Civilization was a dangerous thing.
Sensing this intuition, Han Xiao began to speculate about the reasons for the exposure of the Three Universal Civilizations and the _picture_book.
"Just being here makes me feel out of place, like I'm being watched. And the World Tree possesses powerful Information State abilities; perhaps it's a special Detection method specifically designed to detect external Information State?"
Han Xiao thought to himself.
Logically speaking, the Three Universal Civilizations have never encountered any life forms from the World Tree Civilization, and the areas they explored before were all uninhabited. With proper concealment measures in place, they should not have been detected. However, if the World Tree Civilization has deployed an unknown external Information State monitoring network throughout its territory, the situation is hard to predict.
According to Han Xiao's understanding, the Three Universal Civilizations have made slow progress in the research of the Information State field and do not have such technology. If the roles were reversed and the World Tree Civilization used the same method to spy on the Explored Universe, the Three Universal Civilizations would probably not be able to detect it.
"Hopefully, the mark of the Child of Destiny will have some effect."
Han Xiao glanced at the mark on his hand.
The Child of Destiny also an expert in the field of Information State, possessing the unobservability of High-Dimensional Information State. This temporary mark can activate related concealment functions, achieving an "Information Closure" similar to Lodi's, making it unobservable by ordinary people and perhaps able to deceive the unknown monitoring methods of the World Tree Civilization to a certain extent.
However, the Three Universal Civilizations have already alerted the World Tree to the presence of outsiders. They are concealing their tracks mainly to facilitate their missions. As long as they haven't revealed that Explored Universe, it's not a big deal if they are discovered; they just need to escape in time.
"Let's secure the land first, then we'll talk."
Han Xiao steadied himself, activated various concealment devices, and flew in a chosen direction.
After sailing towards the quantum node for some time, a yellowish-brown planet finally appeared in the observation instrument. It seemed to be a colony. Several spatial rifts opened in the outer space, from which blue-green translucent roots extended, inserted into the planet, and constantly expanded and contracted, with a frequency like breathing.
"The roots of the World Tree..."
Han Xiao stopped and used the planet to calibrate his position on the star map, finally establishing a navigation module.
He only glanced at it from afar and didn't approach.
If only we could start from the roots and follow the trail to find the location of the World Tree itself... Unfortunately, my previous life has already proven that this method won't work, so we need to think long-term.
Han Xiao glanced at the yellowish-brown planet again and nodded secretly.
"This must be a planet that has been transformed."
Everything the World Tree Devour is digested and stored as Information State, which can then be converted back into physical entities. A planet being devoured does not mean it disappears; it simply exists in a different form. The World Tree can recreate it, requiring only a certain amount of energy and resources.
However, the resources required for materialization do not require matching materials. The World Tree and Psionic Energy are inextricably linked. Psionic Energy can be decomposed into various forms of energy and is often regarded as "universal energy." The World Tree also has a similar function, involving changes in matter.
For example, steel can be manufactured through the World Tree. The materials consumed can be wood, seawater, or all sorts of random things. With sufficient energy, a series of transformations of unknown principles are carried out inside the World Tree, eventually turning into physical steel. It is like a profound alchemical product that no one can understand. Turning lead into gold is just a basic operation, like some kind of synthesizer.
Although the World Tree possesses its own will, it is also Cosmic Wonder with tool-like properties, used by civilizations. After many years of experimentation, it has compiled countless lists of composite materials.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that the World Tree Civilization (https://m. hetushu. com. com) possesses extremely formidable military strength, is virtually invincible, and has an inexhaustible army.
Many resources come from planets. The World Tree Civilization will transform valuable planets at its base, allowing them to continue to evolve and give birth to various substances, thereby accumulating more resources. Swallowing a planet in one gulp is like a one-time transaction, while transforming it yields long-term harvests, creating a positive cycle.
Now is not the time to cause trouble. After activating the navigation star map, Han Xiao immediately left the place, his figure disappearing quickly.
After a while, the roots that had been inserted into the yellowish-brown planet suddenly rippled, and a fleet of ethereal ships sailed out, quickly transforming into solid form.
In the command center, Babani glanced curiously at the yellowish-brown planet.
"Is there some unusual activity happening around here? Could it be that these outsiders aren't content with just exploring everywhere, but instead want to spy on our planet?"
"I don't know. The Information State Warning Network's response was very weak this time. I don't know if it was a false alarm." The captain shook his head.
"Let's take a look with the Information State Imaging Device first," Babani gestured.
The fleet quickly activated the device, and the pale green light screen rapidly scanned the surrounding area. The results showed that everything was normal; there was no situation like the Three Universal Civilizations erasing all traces, and no trace of Han Xiao was found.
The captain glanced at the results and nodded, saying, "The Information State traces are intact, with no unusual clues. Considering that the last group of outsiders erased all traces, this is either a false alarm or the outsiders this time possess a more advanced Information State Technology."
"Could it be new prey?!" Babani became excited again.
"Hmm, that possibility can't be ruled out. The Information State Technology level of the later intruders is clearly superior to that of the outsiders who wiped out all traces last time. Perhaps they are two different groups of people... However, the World Tree are right next to us. If the outsiders wiped out traces here like last time, they would be discovered immediately. I am more inclined to believe it is a false alarm."
After analyzing for a while, the captain said:
"To be on the safe side, since the image-reflecting device has failed, the other party may have used High-Dimensional Information State methods. We still need you, the Sacred Tree Envoy, to investigate personally."
Upon hearing this, Babani nodded, turned around, flew out of the cabin, and entered outer space.
Immediately afterwards, streams of blue-green light emerged from his body, concentrating on his visual organs and emitting a hazy green glow. He patrolled the area while scanning his surroundings.
Suddenly, Babani stopped and stared intently in one direction, the very area where Han Xiao had previously lingered.
The green light in his eyes gradually intensified. Just then, within the area enveloped by the light, a blurry, ripple-like phantom appeared, resembling a sparse cluster of luminous particles.
"I saw it. It really is a record of High-Dimensional Information State."
Babani was invigorated.
The High-Dimensional Information State is unobservable, and the related technology is extremely advanced. Even if it is right in front of you, ordinary people cannot detect it, and the Information State Imaging Device cannot detect it either. The disguise provided by the Child of Destiny is the High-Dimensional Information State.
However, as the Sacred Tree Envoy, Babani was able to use the World Tree's High-Dimensional Information Vision to counteract the "Information Closure." Others could not see the High-Dimensional Information State, but he could, which is how he discovered the trace.
However, simply using High-Dimensional Information Vision cannot completely revisit the situation like a camera, and cannot obtain specific information; it can only detect certain traces of action.
"The number of outsiders is unknown, but there shouldn't be many. They lingered around here for a few seconds... Wait, this outsider seems to still be with us?"
Babani suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and his tone became excited again.
In his field of vision, this luminous particle-like trace extended in two directions: one was the way they came from, and the other was naturally the way they went, pointing in the direction the outsiders had left, indicating that the outsiders had not teleported away, but were still lingering within their civilization's territory.
"Sacred Tree Envoy, what should we do next?" the captain asked in the channel.
"Hmph, you all stay in the tree and wait. I'll go after them and see if I can capture these outsiders alive."
Babani couldn't wait to get going. He transformed into a beam of blue-green light and shot off in the direction Han Xiao had left.
Meanwhile, Han Xiao was speeding through the universe, searching for a suitable starting point to claim territory according to the star map.
Just as he was focused on his journey, the control panel suddenly became active.
[You have triggered the emergency mission [Nowhere to Hide]!]
[Mission Brief: Within the territory of the World Tree Civilization, outsiders have virtually Nowhere to Hide. Your whereabouts have been discovered, and someone is tracking you down based on the clues you left behind.]
[Mission Requirement: Defend against pursuers]
[Reward: Unknown]
"I kept the concealment device activated and even activated the High-Dimensional Information State disguise of the Child of Destiny's mark, but I was still discovered so quickly. Is the World Tree's monitoring method that sharp?"
Han Xiao frowned, his mind racing.
