Arc 53Truce and World Tree Pursuit
Han Xiao defeated the Three Universal Civilizations’ challengers before the discovery of the World Tree Civilization halted their attack and brought an agreement with the Beyond Grade A Association. He then infiltrated World Tree territory, escaped its pursuit, and supplied intelligence that redirected preparations for the coming war.
- Han Xiao defeated Oulu, fought the direct-line Beyond Grade As for six days and nights, and forced Urnos to concede.
- The Three Universal Civilizations withdrew their fleet after discovering an unknown civilization, and Han Xiao identified it as the World Tree Civilization using SWY-001’s records.
- Han Xiao secured compensation, resources, political recognition, and autonomous territory for the association in exchange for its full assistance if war broke out.
- Aurora revived SWY-001, whom Han Xiao convinced to cooperate as Hyperion, while the Three Universal Civilizations sent expeditions to investigate the World Tree.
- Han Xiao enlisted the Child of Destiny to monitor the World Tree, persuaded the leaders to prepare his infiltration, and obtained official recognition of the association’s independence.
- Han Xiao entered World Tree territory, ambushed Babani, and used Virtual Purification to restore his original mind long enough to obtain secrets before Babani self-destructed.
- Han Xiao killed World Tree experts during more than ten days of pursuit and escaped an encirclement of nearly a hundred Beyond Grade As through a Secondary Dimension.
- Han Xiao shared intelligence on World Tree tracking methods and enemy experts, and the Three Universal Civilizations halted conventional exploration while focusing on their Secondary Dimension expedition.
