  Now, however, it looked like Destiny’s Child had more unknown secrets. Not only did it play an important role in Planet Aquamarine, but now it was related to the High Dimensional Information Forms.

  Initially, he felt that having him, Hila, and Aurora, three outrageously talented members, was already the limit. To his absolute shock, Destiny’s Child, who had died long ago, was not as simple as he thought! The Germinal Organization was filled with mad talent!

  If the Germinal Organization leader suddenly revived and appeared right in front of him, he probably would not even be surprised.

  What in the world is the Destiny’s Child?

  Han Xiao was stunned. He could not stop worrying without finding out the truth.

  “… Army Commander?” Harrison suddenly prompted.

  Han Xiao regained focus.

  Aesop shook his head. He thought he understood why Han Xiao was silent and explained, “Even the three Universal Civilizations don’t know much about the Information Form Theory, so I understand that this request might be too difficult for you.” Rody was instantly frustrated and said with despair, “Then what should I do? If even His Excellency Black Star can’t help me, who can? Please, help me to convince His Excellency Black Star. I-I really don’t know what to do!”

  Hearing this, Han Xiao waved and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll try to help you.”

  “That’s great. Thank you, Your Excel… Hmm?” Rody showed appreciation subconsciously, but he was suddenly stunned halfway. He stared at Han Xiao with his eyes widened with shock.

  Aesop and Harrison were startled too. They looked at Han Xiao with surprise.

  “Army Commander, you can see him now?”

  “Hmm, I can.”

  “But earlier you… have you found a solution? But you didn’t do anything!” Aesop could not understand why.

  Han Xiao coughed and lied, “Real High Dimensional Information Forms can choose who can observe them. Maybe his strong will triggered that trait, so he actively created an information link with me… To put it simply, he removed me from his blacklist.”

  Harrison’s eyes were filled with confusion.

  How does that work?

  Aesop thought about it for a while before accepting it. “That actually makes some sense. He might have inherited that trait, only he can’t control it freely, but subconsciously, he might be able to…”

  Han Xiao looked at him with a smile and supported the old man in his mind.

  That’s it. Please keep guessing. Help me convince you yourself. Like a drowning man holding onto the last straw, Rody suddenly pressed on the table with both hands. He stood up and said while his entire body was shivering from excitement, “Thank you so much! You’re really just like what they say in the news. Not only a great man of Planet Aquamarine but a great man of the entire universe! You’re so noble! To be frank, in my forty-eight years alive, there’s only one person I ever admired, and that person is you! You’ve been my role model from a young age, the light of my life, the motivation of my advance, encouraging me to grow…”

  Han Xiao uncontrollably smiled with recognition. He loved to hear people say these facts about him.

  However, very soon, he wiped off the smile on his face and signaled for Rody to calm down.

  “You don’t have to be so appreciative. Honestly, I’m only helping you because I’m interested in your mutation and want to study it. As for whether I can cure you, I can’t make any promises.”

  “I understand. I don’t have anything else I can repay you with. I’ll do my absolute best to cooperate with your studies.” Rody nodded rapidly.

  Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction. There were no free meals, and Rody knew that, which made things easier. He stood up, circled around Rody, sizing him up closely, and suddenly thought of something

  That’s right. I’ve already established an information connection with him, so I should be able to sting him now.

  As this thought appeared, Han Xiao immediately acted.

  He raised his finger. Electrical sparks flashed, and nanoparticles formed into a tiny metal needle.

  Then, he cautiously stung Rody’s arm with the needle, using as little force as a normal person would use to pick up an ant, afraid of using too much strength and squeezing the ant to death.

  Then, Han Xiao looked at the interface right away. As expected, combat information appeared, and he could see all of Rody’s attributes.

  The target was just an ordinary person, so there was little information. All of Rody’s abilities were ordinary people abilities. There were only about two lines of information, completely different from how Supers had pages and pages of information.

  Only one abnormal piece of information attracted Han Xiao’s attention. There was a special status in Rody’s status bar, and it had the exact same name as the name of the mission.

  (Destiny’s Child-Sub-body Transformation): The Primal Esper Ability Entity Destiny’s Child has caused an information state disturbance, creating all kinds of ‘sub-bodies’ randomly in the entire universe. You’re one of the chosen ones. A mutation is going to occur to your body. The traits of Information Forms will gradually develop in you, and you’ll randomly obtain part of Destiny’s Child’s abilities. During the transformation, not only will your body change, but your personality will too. When this process ends, you might lose the majority of your desires and emotions, you might lose your memories, or you might believe in made-up life experience. A brand-new personality will be born in your body.

  Current Transformation Progress: 37.1%

  Han Xiao’s eyes opened wide. He had captured the key information. “Destiny’s Child is a Primal Esper Ability Entity? Randomly creating sub-bodies all over the universe?”

  This was surprising for him. On the Super High Risk Esper Ability list, Destiny’s Child was not included. In his previous life, no players obtained any related information about it. Could this be an undiscovered or unpublicized Primal Esper Ability?

  Looking at the introduction on the interface, Han Xiao had a lot of thoughts.

  If that’s how Destiny’s Child’s works, what was in the Germinal Organization back in Version 1.0 should have been a sub-body, not the Primal Esper Ability Entity itself… Rody has yet to completely transform. Once he fully becomes a Destiny’s Child sub-body, his personality will be replaced. Maybe that’s another form of death.

  Although Han Xiao now knew that Destiny’s Child’s true identity was a Primal Esper Ability Entity, there were still a lot of unsolved mysteries. Perhaps, Ah Ho and Ah K, who were also Primal Esper Ability Entities, would know something

  Han Xiao told the few of them to wait a while in the room while he went to another room, closed the door, and opened up the secondary dimensional army box, summoning the Mysterious Energy Host. At the same time, he sent Aurora a communication request and contacted the Holy Light Particle too.

  “Black Star! How have you been? We have to chat more if you haven’t been busy!”

  The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy looked very happy. He did not have a master, and he was dying of boredom being inside a metal carrier that had no soul.

  “I have something I’d like to ask you guys,” Han Xiao said. “Do you guys know about a Primal Esper Ability Entity called Destiny’s Child?”

  Considering that there might be different names, Han Xiao even described part of Destiny’s Child’s characteristics, which he deduced from the interface.

  Hearing this, the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy and Holy Light Particle suddenly became silent for quite a while.

  “This guy… I seem to have seen him before?”

  “Odd, did I sleep too much? I feel like I know him, but I just can’t recall…” It felt like the feeling of suddenly realizing someone looked familiar, but they just could not recall who it was.

  “According to the information I have, Destiny’s Child is heavily related to Information Forms. Maybe that’s why you two can’t recall it.” Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and made a
guess.

  The two of them tried recalling for a while longer, then Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy said hesitantly, “You might be right. We can’t recall any more information about it. All we can recall is that there seems to be a Primal Esper Ability Entity in our memories who can switch between a physical form and High Dimensional Information Form. It has the ability to foresee the future, interfere with reality, and so on. It might be the Destiny’s Child you’re talking about.”

  Looks like I can’t get more information from the two of them…

  Han Xiao then changed the topic and asked, “Then, do you guys know about Soul Flame? It’s a Primal Esper Ability Entity too.”

  “I know this one!” The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy quickly responded as if worried the Holy Light Particle would take away its chance to speak. “This guy is sneaky. I haven’t met him many times, and the last time I heard about him was during the exploration era. He seems to have chosen a Primordial One as a master. After that, he disappeared for many years.”

  Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled.

  According to Aesop’s intelligence, Oathkeeper might very well be the master of Soul Flame. He might even be the Primordial One whom Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy mentioned. As long as he knew Oathkeeper’s identity, he would be able to expose him. “Do you remember who that Primordial One was?” Han Xiao quickly asked.

  “I only remember his nickname, (Soul Emperor] if I’m not wrong, a powerful spiritual Esper… but he should’ve died in battle.”

  Tsk, this nickname doesn’t sound like someone who’s easy to mess with.

  Han Xiao noted it in his mind and planned to ask the dynasty for information about this ‘Soul Emperor’.

  As for something as mysterious as Destiny’s Child, the dynasty might not have records of it.

  Since Destiny’s Child is a Primal Esper Ability Entity, and the Holy Accord organization is the professional at studying Primal Esper Abilities… asking them might be a good choice.

  Han Xiao nodded in his mind. He decided that after his deal with the Holy Accord was complete, he would ask Oathkeeper about Destiny’s Child. Maybe he could get some information from him.

  Speaking of which, could Destiny’s Child be in the Holy Accord organization’s hands? Hmm, it’s possible but not very likely. Destiny’s Child can trigger disturbances, meaning it should be free and not locked up… Hehe, no point thinking so much. It won’t hurt if I only ask Oathkeeper.

  Han Xiao smirked.

  As for whether Oathkeeper will be able to take it…

  Hmm, I think his mind should be quite strong.

  As he had already asked everything he wanted to, he was about to hang up the communication when he suddenly thought of something and said to the Holy Light Particle, “By the way, I’ll have to cut off a part of your body after some time and use it to make a deal with someone. I’m telling you first so you can be mentally prepared.”

  The Holy Light Particle suddenly stopped in midair and was stunned.

  The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was stunned for a minute too. He then suddenly started gloating and laughing loudly. “This day has finally come for you! Who asked you to laugh at me? You can’t escape the same fate, hahaha!”

  The Holy Light Particle did not respond out loud. I’m so tired. I feel like I won’t believe in love anymore.

  Chapter 1131 - I’m Leaving Her to You

  Once Han Xiao had digested the information he had just obtained for a while, he pushed open the door and returned to the interrogation room. Aesop, Harrison, and Rody all looked over.

  “Your Excellency Black Star, I…” Rody hastily wanted to ask, but Han Xiao raised his hand and stopped him.

  “I already know about your situation. Come with me for the time being. I’ll try to solve your issue.”

  Han Xiao pondered over what to do about Rody.

  Rody was now only a work in progress; he had yet to complete transforming, so he could not control his abilities. He might only become like the Germinal Organization’s Destiny’s Child after completely transforming. However, once the transformation was complete, Rody’s personality would be taken over by a brand-new personality, so he could be considered dead by then in some senses.

  A stable and controllable Foreseer would be much more useful than this half-assed Foreseer who fainted occasionally. However, since he had accepted the mission, he did not want to just let the transformation happen. Hence, Han Xiao decided to think of ways to prevent Rody’s transformation as much as he could… And if he could not prevent it, he would not mind getting a new Destiny’s Child.

  Judging from Rody’s current state, controlling his whereabouts was a necessity. Han Xiao told Phillip to empty a new private lab on the spaceship and told Harrison to take Rody there, put him into a restoration cabin, and inject hypnosis drugs into him so that studying him would be easier. Rody had no choice but to hold on tight to his only hope and cooperate fully.

  After the two of them left, Han Xiao and Aesop were the only ones left in the room. They looked at each other.

  “I saw you left for a while earlier. Have you already discovered something?” Aesop asked with curiosity.

  “The source of this guy’s mutation might be because he was affected by a certain special Primal Esper Ability…” Han Xiao briefly talked about Destiny’s Child’s information and his experience in the Germinal Organization.

  “Destiny’s Child… never heard of it,” Aesop murmured.

  “That’s normal. I don’t know much either.”

  Aesop coughed and said, “I don’t know much about your past experience, but assuming that the Destiny’s Child you met in the past is also a random product of the Primal Esper Ability Entity like Rody, why would two sub-bodies appear on Planet Aquamarine? If it’s really random over the universe, do you think this is really coincidental?”

  That’s nothing. I’ve seen things that are more coincidental…

  This thought flashed past Han Xiao’s mind, but he did not show it on his face and agreed. “It is very coincidental indeed.”

  “Following this logic, if the mutation occurs on the information level, I think that Planet Aquamarine might be special in some way. Maybe it has a special string of fate or something… I’m not saying this out of the blue. I’ve seen many people who are born with a different string of fate to others…”

  Midsentence, Aesop stopped, sized Han Xiao up, and said, “… That’s right, someone like you came out of Planet Aquamarine, as well as Hila, another Beyond Grade A. The rise of the two of you caused your mother planet to be unique. Maybe that’s the reason.”

  Han Xiao wanted to say something, but he did not say anything in the end, only patting Aesop’s shoulders.

  Smart people are indeed easy to trick. You convinced yourself before I said anything.

  “Thanks. Without your prophecy, I would have never noticed this.”

  Jokes aside, Han Xiao was quite appreciative of Aesop’s warning.

  “You don’t have to thank me. Floating Dragon and Planet Aquamarine are neighbors now. I’m just ensuring the safety of the surrounding residential environment. Plus, among the people I know, my prophecies will have the most impact in your hands. I believe in your abilities and morals.” Aesop waved his hand.

  Hearing this, Han Xiao could not help but realize how much things had changed.

  In the past, Han Xiao really envied Aesop’s powerful connections. However, as he continued to rise, without him realizing, he already now had the highest position among the people Aesop knew.

  Aesop was willing to discuss anything with him. He had become reliable in his eyes.

  Aesop sighed and said, “I’ve lived so long, and I consider myself to be knowledgeable. Yet, you’re still the most shocking person I’ve ever met in my long life. I’ve never seen anyone as magical as you. The first time I saw you, although I felt that you had a bright future, I would never have expected you to reach heights countless people are never able to reach in just a few
decades. History might forget me, but it’ll never forget you.”

  “… Why the sudden compliments? You’re flattering me,” Han Xiao joked but revealed an expression that said, ‘Don’t stop.’

  “Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, so I like to say these things more and more.” Aesop sighed and earnestly said, “Thank you for helping Floating Dragon all these years.” Seeing this, Han Xiao wiped off the smile on his face and slowly said, “My achievement cannot be separated from the help I’ve received from Floating Dragon. Without Ames’ protection in the past, things would not have gone so smoothly for me. Therefore, you don’t have to thank me. Anything I’ve done for Floating Dragon is what I should do as repayment.”

  Just like creating a business, having sponsors would be much easier than starting with nothing. When he was weak, Floating Dragon had helped him a great lot. Therefore, even though his position in the universe was far superior to Floating Dragon, he still held respect for the people of Floating Dragon and never considered himself superior when speaking with them. Plus, he had never stopped helping them.

  “Having the opportunity to help someone like you might just be Floating Dragon’s luck.” Aesop’s expression was complicated. He said with a low tone, “Ames is like my daughter, but as you know, the only thing I can do is foresee. I’m not powerful like you guys; you can protect her better than me now… “I’ve lived for many years, and I’ve never asked for anything from anyone, but I’m asking you today, protect Ames. I’m leaving her to you. I hope that even after hundreds and thousands of years, you’ll still remember what I said today.”

  Then, he gave Han Xiao a meaningful look, pushed the door open, and walked out the room. His slightly bent back disappeared at the end of the corridor.

  “Old man…”

  Han Xiao watched him leave and exhaled slightly. He understood what Aesop meant.

  Although Aesop was an Eternal, he was getting old, and he hardly had any combat capability. Even though he could see the future, what he could do was limited. He was far from being almighty.
