Chapter 737 The Sanctuary's Secrets

Somewhere in the Central Star Sea, a military restricted zone, the location of the former Sanctuary summoning channel had been tightly sealed off. It was surrounded by dense space-based armed fortresses and massive fleet legions, heavily guarded.

Suddenly, a gleam of light abruptly lit up in the darkness, slowly rotating and expanding, transforming into three Sanctuary channels leading to a world of white, quietly suspended in the cosmos, like three miniature white holes.

In the dazzling light gates, three black shadows gradually grew from small to large, slowly sailing out. They were the spaceships of the three great civilizations that had gone to explore the Sanctuary.

A team of soldiers immediately flew out of the military base, guiding the three spaceships back to the fortress. The members inside the ships walked out with the assistance of their companions. The expressions of the vast majority were muddled, as if their minds were wandering, their eyes were dull, and their reactions were sluggish.

Only Klotti, Oulu, and the Beyond Grade As of the Void Spiritual Church seemed somewhat better, but their faces still retained a look of shock, and their feet felt unsteady.

At this moment, with a flash of faint light, the remote projections of the heads of the three great civilizations descended and immediately surrounded them, their faces filled with tension.

"How is it? Did you get the information from the Sanctuary?"

Klotti focused her eyes, paused for a few seconds, and then seemed to react. Her expression was grave as she nodded heavily.

"The scene inside the Sanctuary is exactly as Black Star described. We have seen the records on the Sanctuary message board, and it does indeed record the truth of the universe's iteration. In addition, we also obtained some information from past iterated civilizations from the Sanctuary. Although not much, it is also proof."

Hearing this, the heads of the three great civilizations took a deep breath. Although they felt that Han Xiao was not lying, they were still shocked to have it confirmed at this moment.

At this time, Louis suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Was the Sanctuary revival experiment successful?"

"It was indeed successful." Klotti raised her palm, showing the Sanctuary revival imprint on the back of her hand, which was exactly the same as the record.

The three finally relaxed completely and nodded silently.

In order to prove the authenticity of the Sanctuary and prevent being tricked by Black Star again, the three great civilizations had been cautious, and they had specially taken out the mediums of several deceased direct descendants and handed them over to Klotti and others to test whether the Sanctuary revival was feasible. If it failed, it would mean that the Sanctuary they entered was suspicious, and perhaps it was an alternate dimension deliberately constructed by Black Star to fool them. Only if it succeeded could it prove that it was a real Sanctuary.

When they asked Black Star to help revive their direct descendants of the Beyond Grade A, the heads of the three great civilizations claimed to have taken out all the mediums of the deceased direct descendants, but in reality, they had held back, and they had hidden a small portion of the deceased direct descendants, claiming that they did not have the mediums of these people, in order to guard against Black Star and prevent accidents. Even after Black Star proved that the Sanctuary revival was reliable, the three great civilizations did not reveal this point, intending to use it as test material when they studied the Sanctuary themselves in the future, and now it came in handy.

Thump, thump, thump…

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from a distance, and Han Xiao, who had been teleported over, strode forward. Before everyone could speak, he grabbed Klotti's hand and held it up in front of his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Klotti was shocked and subconsciously wanted to break free, but found that she could not shake Han Xiao's fingers at all.

The heads of the three great civilizations thought that Han Xiao cared about the Sanctuary revival imprint and became tense, worried that Black Star would bear a grudge against them for trying the Sanctuary revival without his permission.

However, they were wrong. Now, Han Xiao would not pay attention to these trivial matters. He revealed his own Sanctuary authority imprint, and Klotti's palm immediately produced feedback, revealing his Sanctuary authority imprint.

The patterns of the two imprints, one complex and exquisite, the other simple and crude, were precisely the difference between full authority and level one authority.

Seeing this, Han Xiao released Klotti, rolled his eyes, and said:

"How was it? What did it feel like to enter and exit the Sanctuary? Was it very psychedelic?"

Klotti rubbed her sore wrist and hesitated before nodding. "Indeed, I felt like I was sleepwalking. Although I could still control my body, my perception seemed to be separated by a layer, unlike the free and unfettered action under normal circumstances. It was more like I was operating my body from a third-person perspective, and my brain and body were no longer one…"

"It's normal to feel this way the first time you enter… although I haven't experienced the feeling of low authority." Han Xiao patted her on the shoulder. "Your authority is too low, and it took a lot of time. We have been waiting for you in the main universe for a long time."

Hearing this, Klotti and others glanced at the time and were immediately shocked. It had been a year or two since they set off, but they had only stayed in the Sanctuary for a few hours.

"Just get used to it. When your authority is high, the Sanctuary's time flow will slowly converge with the main universe."

Han Xiao casually explained, then turned to look at the heads of the three great civilizations, raising his eyebrows and saying:

"How about it? You got the information you wanted, right? Do you believe what I said now?"

Marbrus nodded calmly, "We have confirmed the truth about the universe's iteration, and it is exactly the same as you said."

At this time, the leader of the Void Spiritual Church pondered and said, "It's just that our authority is too low to see all the information on the Sanctuary message board, so we still cannot verify the secrets you mentioned, such as the ultimate three great civilizations and the Dark Side universe…"

Hearing this, Han Xiao widened his eyes, finding it amusing.

"What, you don't want me to help you increase your Sanctuary authority until you unlock all the Sanctuary message board information, do you?"

"If you don't mind, we would certainly be honored to…"

"Get lost."

"Ahem, we can understand if you are unwilling…"

The three of them looked embarrassed.

"It is true that I can help you complete the great cause of several iterations, but don't push your luck." Han Xiao stood with his arms folded, frowning and saying, "I have done enough for interstellar society, and I have done my best. I have shown enough sincerity, but you still doubt me. It was like this when dealing with the World Tree, and it is still like this now. To be honest, if you still suspect me, then we can just break up."

"Don't, don't, don't, we just need to consider it because this matter is of great importance, and we are not doubting you… Let's go, let's talk about it in the office."

The three quickly surrounded him to explain, leading the way and bringing Han Xiao to a private conference room.

Closing the door and confirming that no outsiders were present, Marbrus coughed and said:

"Black Star, we believe in the information about the Dark Side universe, and we have now verified that the Sanctuary information is not false. Let's talk about the topic we didn't finish last time. What method do you plan to use to break the Dark Side universe's closure and allow us to return to the real universe?"

"Two methods." Han Xiao held up two fingers.

"What are they?" The three were refreshed, their ears perked up, listening carefully.

Han Xiao paused before slowly explaining.

"The first is to follow the route of the three great civilizations of the previous two Dark Side iterations and normally use the Information Materialization Device. Although the World Tree has undergone information assimilation, changing its nature of existence, and has many fancy functions, its essence has not changed. It still has the core function of the Information Materialization Device, and I have already unearthed it."

"What about the second?"

"The second is still to use the Information Materialization Device, but it needs to be used in conjunction with my Virtual Creation ability."

Hearing this, the three looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

Marbrus asked with a puzzled tone: "Aren't these two using the Information Materialization Device? What's the difference?"

"The difference lies in my positioning. The success rate of the first plan completely depends on whether the information interference bridge has reached the prerequisite requirements for transformation, which means that this established route may still fail. As for the second plan, I can exert my own ability. The principle is… uh, I won't talk about the principle, because you won't understand it anyway. In short, I think it can increase the success rate of the transformation… The only concern is that the previous two Dark Side iterations have not tried my new method, so there may be some uncertainties."

Han Xiao shook his head.

The first plan simply treated him as a tool, as a "medium" for launching the Information Materialization Device. In the second plan, he was the executor of the plan… The difference between the two lies in who is in charge.

After merging with the World Tree, Han Xiao carefully studied it and finally transformed his \[Virtual Creation] skill, removing the "pseudo" suffix. The skill effect had undergone a huge change, and it had something in common with the core function of the Information Materialization Device, which could produce resonance.

The three hesitated and talked in low voices. Han Xiao did not urge them.

After a few minutes, Marbrus raised his head and asked, "What is the estimated success rate of these two plans?"

Han Xiao spread his hands, "The first plan has a 50% success rate, and the second plan, I estimate, has a 70% success rate, but the risks are unknown."

Louis pondered and said, "Why don't we try the first plan first? If it doesn't work, we can try the second one."

"Well, we can, but the stable interference bridge may be damaged in the failure. If we want to regret it then, there will be no chance in this Dark Side iteration, so I personally suggest that it is best to do it in one step." Han Xiao shrugged.

"…We need to think about it again."

"Alright, you have plenty of time, but the things that need to be prepared for the two plans are similar. During this time, you can mobilize the interstellar society and prepare."

"Okay."

The three nodded and disconnected the remote projection link, impatiently returning to discuss it.

Only Han Xiao was left alone in the conference room. He looked at the place where the three had disappeared and curled his lips.

In fact, he had hidden a third plan, which was to use the World Tree to devour the entire universe and "compress and package" it in his body, directly forming a complete, independent "information set." In his opinion, this plan could break through to more than 80% success rate.

But even if he thought with his chest muscles, he knew that the three great civilizations would never agree to this plan, and they might even start to doubt his motives for helping them.

In addition, this process was too long. Using the World Tree to devour the entire Dark Side universe would take forever. Just the journey alone would take countless years. Because delays would lead to changes, he himself did not want to adopt this plan.

So Han Xiao simply didn't say it, hiding it in his heart and not revealing it.

"I hope the three great civilizations choose the second plan… Well, but even if they don't choose the second plan, I'll just do it."

Han Xiao smacked his lips.

Letting the three great civilizations choose was mainly to give them a feeling of "participating is the most important thing"… When the interstellar society was ready and officially started the transformation, it would still be up to him to decide.
