“Oh, you indeed discovered it.” Han Xiao waved his hands. “I was just trying it but didn’t expect it to be so simple. I succeeded in a try. I remember you mentioning that you do not mind others linking to the Void Dimension as well, correct?”
“That’s alright. I was just curious…”
Kasuyi’s eyes twitched, and he put on a nonchalant expression. However, his inner self was twisting in agony.
Simple? I’ll be d*mned if it’s simple!
To pass off your connection with the Void Dimension as a simple test, then what about my effort!
As he was internally scolding Han Xiao, the latter suddenly stepped forward, stretching out a hand to pinch his face.
Kasuyi paused, staring up at Han Xiao.
“You, what are you doing?”
“Checking to see if it’s your main body or your clone.” Han Xiao was curious. “… I’m in my main body!” Kasuyi angrily slapped off Han Xiao’s offending hand.
Han Xiao asked with suspicion, “Didn’t you say that exploring the dimensions would be dangerous? I thought you would send a doppelganger and not come over with your main body… With just your health, you dare to do this?”
Kasuyi felt his face cramping up.
What sort of words are you saying? You think I’m so paper-like?
… Alright, I’m more like paper than you, but I’m still a pinnacle Beyond Grade A. There will be a limit to my paperness!
Kasuyi was speechless for a long time before pointing to the seat opposite him in resignation. “Have a seat and eat something. I’ll explain our objective.”
A few void creatures holding trays appeared as he spoke, carrying plates of food and wine and putting them on the table. The plates were made out of colorful translucent crystals, sparkling beautifully.
However, Han Xiao’s mouth twitched upon looking at the food.
If he was not wrong, this thing on the plate seemed to be the excrement of the Void World Worm and was even the most concentrated part of it…
“What’s wrong? Eat some.”
“It’s alright. I don’t have such heavy tastes.”
Han Xiao hurriedly waved his hand.
This could be considered the local cuisine of the Void Dimension, containing pure Void Energy. But Han Xiao had acquired this species and thus had no habits of eating such stuff.
Seeing this, Kasuyi did not force him, raising his glass to take a gulp of wine before beginning his explanation.
“At our level, the God’s Trait Transformation is indispensable for us to go further. You must also have touched on this, but you might not know that as the degree of God’s Trait Transformation gets higher, there will be some sort of intuition for you to perceive certain opportunities to obtain objects or complete some illusory things to reduce the difficulty of promoting to the next stage.
“And this time, I sensed an opportunity that guided me to the secondary dimension that we’re going to explore later. There seems to be something in it that’s attracting me, which might help in my God’s Trait Transformation…”
“Oh?” Han Xiao suddenly had a thought.
Opportunity for transformation? This is similar to the prerequisites that appeared when my God’s Trait Transformation reached the tenth level.
So, it turns out, this is how the prerequisites are reflected in the NPCs… Kasuyi must have a type of God’s Trait Transformation that has gone above level ten.
To a Beyond Grade A, information about God’s Trait Transformation was precious knowledge, so Kasuyi did not hesitate to share more about it at this point. Han Xiao also listened for a while and learned more about it.
It seemed vague, but Kasuyi gave a few real examples, such as his senses telling him that if he became the most powerful overlord of the Void Dimension, it would be conducive to his God’s Trait Transformation. This was the same as Manison, who had a gut feel to become the leader of the Machinery Faith, which was what the Old Man had told him in private.
As for why this would happen, Kasuyi also had a few hypotheses.
In his opinion, the God’s Trait Transformation was not only the evolution of the individual but also the entanglement of one’s fate line with countless external factors. Only through assuming and integrating the luck of every group could the final God’s Trait Transformation then be completed, as though it was a fate that the strong had to bear. “There’s actually such a thing?” Han Xiao was secretly surprised. But thinking about it from another point, since there were the two words ‘God’s Trait’ within the God’s Trait Transformation, one could not rule out such a possibility. However, it was still unknown as to what would happen after the transformation was complete.
It was no wonder Kasuyi was so impatient. It turned out that he saw another possibility for further improvement.
It was just that from Han Xiao’s perspective, this matter could actually be explained simply using an interface. It was probably that what the God’s Trait Transformation was looking for was no longer just limited to levels, attributes, or energy. Rather, like the Class Advancement, he needed to complete a certain mission to earn his promotion. To a normal person, it would seem like they had received the call of destiny.
Because he had already seen the Mission Completion Card work on the God’s Trait Transformation mission, Han Xiao did not find it too difficult to believe. In fact, he got happier.
It doesn’t matter how a normal Beyond Grade A should train because we don’t follow the same system at all. I just need to rush through all of these.
At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly realized a problem.
“I’m also a void creature, so my transformation route should be the same as yours. Will we then become competitors?”
Kasuyi shook his head. “Even if it’s the same transformation route, the things we feel are different. While I don’t have much information, my intuition tells me that everyone’s path will be unique… at least within the same generation.”
“Then your intuition must be really good,” Han Xiao said. “I understand the goal now. It’s to help you find an opportunity for your God’s Trait Transformation in the secondary dimension, right? How’s the situation there now?”
Hearing this, Kasuyi’s expression became more serious, and he frowned.
“I’ve already sent two doppelgangers over. This area is within the deepest parts of the secondary dimension, and the space there is very chaotic, the environment dangerous. This is not the main issue, however. There’s a group of powerful creatures guarding that area, and my doppelgangers have been repelled twice!”
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
To be able to repel Kasuyi’s clones meant that the total combat power of these creatures could be compared to a pinnacle Beyond Grade A. This was undoubtedly the most dangerous place in the secondary dimensions. A Beyond Grade A would likely not be able to survive.
“Have you tried talking to them?”
“Their memories were empty, having no valuable information, and they seemed to also have no self-awareness. They did not respond to me, and I didn’t recognize what species they were either. There’s no record of them in the database.”
“Let me look at it.”
Han Xiao’s brows furrowed. He was afraid that Kasuyi would have encountered those from the World Tree Civilization. That would be bad.
However, after seeing the image Kasuyi shared, Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He also did not recognize this creature, so it was likely not to have any relation with the World Tree Civilization. “Just the guardian of this secondary dimension has such strength. I’m not sure what it will be like inside… Have you managed to get in?” “Nope, I cannot break through the blockade of these creatures.”
“If the outside is so dangerous, it’s definitely not any better inside. Maybe it’s the nest of these creatures…” Han Xiao’s expression was strange. “You really want your main body to set off?”
“The only way for me to discover the opportunity is for my main body to
go over. With your help this time, there should not be any problems. The Mechanic class is the most proficient in large scale battles. This should be your forte.” Kasuyi laughed and spoke honestly. “Furthermore, my intention of inviting you was not just based on your strength but also to borrow your mechanical suit, the King. If the situation becomes too bad, then only you will have such mobility.” “I see.” Han Xiao nodded.
“Then I’ll accompany you with my main body. The machinery is too weak and might not be able to guarantee your safety.”
Hearing this, Kasuyi did not know what expression to make. Of the entire Universe’s mechanics, probably only you can say such words… Ding. At this moment, Han Xiao heard the notification from his interface, indicating the acceptance of the mission.
You have triggered the mission (Kasuyi’s Invitation).
Mission Introduction: In order to find an opportunity for his God’s Trait Transformation, Kasuyi has decided to explore a dangerous and mysterious unknown secondary dimension. Because he acknowledges your abilities, he has asked for your help.
Mission Requirements: Help Kasuyi find the goal of his trip.
Reward: 450 billion Experience, 6 Random Rewards, 3 Character Summon Cards, +30 Favorability for Kasuyi, 1 God’s Trait Transformation, Milestone – Unknown
Remark: This mission is extremely risky. It is recommended that you proceed with caution.
450 billion experience? Han Xiao almost doubted his eyes.
The experience reward was often linked to the difficulty of the task, but he only obtained ten billion for fighting against Old Man Manison. The highest experience reward he had ever seen was the one for the mission (Ending the Darkness), which was basically impossible to complete[1] appeared at chapter 1064, with a requirement of ending the slave trade in throughout Galaxy.).
And this experience reward was set at 450 billion, with a further remark warning about the difficulty of the mission?
At this moment, Han Xiao could tell for sure that the mysterious secondary dimension was hiding a huge secret!
In the past, he did not exist, so Kasuyi’s closest friend would probably have been Manison. Since both of them had come out unscathed, this meant that while the danger was high, it would not surpass that of a pinnacle Beyond Grade A.
Furthermore, since he had just undergone his promotion, his strength had greatly increased. It should not be a problem to do something that Manison and Kasuyi could manage. I’m taking Manison’s spot, which means that if there’s anything good in the secondary dimension, Manison will be deprived of it… Thinking about it, was this not him robbing another opportunity of Manison’s?
Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled.
His greatest hobby now was causing trouble for that old man.
In a certain corner of the Primeval Star River…
“Achoo!”
Manison, who was studying his blueprints, suddenly sneezed, and his expression turned gloomy.
With his experience, he did not need to think to realize that it must be that b*stard Black Star who was cursing him!
[1] In case anyone needs a refresher, the mission (Ending the Darkness
Chapter 1193 - A Strange Dimension
In the chaotic space that resembled a thunderstorm, a silver prismatic spaceship cut through the waves at a high speed, like a small boat traversing the open seas, experiencing endless turbulence.
Han Xiao and Kasuyi were inside the cockpit, observing the map model of the secondary dimension.
“We’re going deeper…” Han Xiao looked at the jumping coordinates, smacking his lips. “Are you sure we didn’t go the wrong way?”
“The direction my senses are telling me has not changed. Based on my experience, we should be almost there.” Kasuyi nodded.
Because Kasuyi had never managed to enter the secondary dimension of his target, he did not have any anchored coordinates, so he could only travel through the known secondary dimensions first to shorten the distance as much as possible before they barged through the chaotic space stream.
The duo had been in flight for a few days and had left the area of control of the three Universal Civilizations far behind, delving deeper into the secondary dimension and passing through many bizarre planes.
The world of secondary dimensions was just like the main universe, constantly expanding. With every passing second, countless worlds would be born or would die. The three Universal Civilizations had only explored a portion of the relatively stable areas and called this explored area the ‘Shallow Layer’, whilst the unexplored areas were known as the ‘Deep Layer’. However, there was actually no essential difference between the shallow and deep layers in the secondary dimensions.
Because it was difficult to move forward without proper coordinates, the only thing the duo could do was rely on Kasuyi’s senses as their only navigator. Fortunately, because he had been there twice, there was proof that this method was feasible.
At this time, an almost invisible crack suddenly appeared in the turbulent space ahead. Kasuyi’s eyes brightened. “It’s there!”
The moment he heard it, Han Xiao turned the spaceship in a sharp arc, dashing straight into the crack
Boom!
By theory, encountering cracks in a space storm meant that one could directly enter a secondary dimension, but this time was different. Both of them only felt the hull slightly shake, but the world outside their porthole still showed an empty space. In front of them, an endless honeycomb-shaped space wall appeared, glowing in a mysterious bluish purple. This was the external barrier of a secondary dimension world.
And outside the space wall, there was a large group of weird creatures, the monsters mentioned by Kasuyi.
“It’s here?”
“Yes, be careful. These creatures are not only aggressive but very resilient to attacks, having amazing resistance to both mental and energy attacks as well as being able to release a sort of energy similar to dimensional lightning. They can resonate with each other, forming a huge shield to isolate the outside world, which cannot be broken without killing the creatures. This was why I could not rush in,” Kasuyi replied.
Han Xiao studied the creatures carefully. They were all quite large, and while he lacked a reference, he estimated that they were three hundred kilometers in length. They had the characteristics of a beetle, with a milky white exoskeleton all over their body and segmented body parts. At first glance, they resembled a centipede without feet. However, along the gaps between the carapace, they possessed light blue membranous wings instead.
Every section of the membrane wing had a limb-like joint, with a hollow bone tube attached at the end, as though serving as a breathing organ. On their abdomen, there were two rows of symmetrical nubs for feet, extending all the way to the tail. Their head had no visual organs nor mouthparts, only a huge pointed cone with rows of holes densely packed around it.
“What a look. Just because no one can see them, they chose to grow in any manner they wish?” Han Xiao secretly insulted them.
As they chatted, the wandering creatures spotted their spaceship, immediately attacking. They saw one of them inhaling a large amount of space turbulence before black and purple lightning appeared around it, shooting out to attack the spaceship.
Buzz!
Kasuyi’s eyes lit up, and a huge Psychic shield popped up to protect the spaceship. All the black purple lightning bolts landed on it, exploding into fireworks, but he continued to inject power to ensure that the psychic shield was stable. With a huge amount of MP as his support, Kasuyi was totally not afraid of his consumption. “They have very thick skin and good Psychological Resistance. My efficiency in damaging them is very low… I’ll leave it to you, Black Star.”
“You can defend. Leave the attacking to me.”
Han Xiao opened his secondary dimensional army box, and mechanical soldiers rushed out and bombarded the creatures with fierce firepower.
Army-Style Mechanics were the best at such large-scale team battles. While Kasuy
i was also good at area of effect damage, his class leaned toward mental damage. As long as he encountered targets with high Psychological Resistance, his damage efficiency would decrease.
The Psionic energy bombarded the monster, blasting a charred gap in his exoskeleton. The resistance of this group of monsters was indeed amazing, but Han Xiao was not his past self. After his promotion, his attributes had sharply increased, improving his attack power and Mechanical Force bonuses. Under the large-scale Mechanical Force concentration, the monsters were easily bombarded into scattered pieces.
At this moment, more of the creatures rushed over. Their numbers seemed to be endless, and they came up to fight with the mechanical troops without the slightest fear.
Their energies constantly resonated and connected with each other, forming an extremely thick black-purple shield that covered each individual body, slowing down the rate of casualties. As more of them arrived, the strength of their attacks and defense also rose.
Despite the fierce fighting, the two remained in the spaceship without moving.
Observing the battlefield outside the porthole, Kasuyi seemed surprised.
“Black Star, why is your machinery lethality so high now?”
Having crossed arms against these creatures, he was clear of their defenses. In his opinion, even if Black Star could handle the enemy, it should not have been as easy as this.
Kasuyi had also known Manison for many years and was knowledgeable. This time, the combat power of Black Star’s Mechanical army was beyond his expectations. Compared to the last time he personally experienced Han Xiao’s strength during the attack on Hila, Black Star had improved too much. “My standard is just average.”
Han Xiao smiled and waved his hand, not intending to reveal anything.
Seeing Han Xiao’s reluctance to speak, Kasuyi also did not ask further, moving away from the topic. He exclaimed, “A Mechanic is truly a convenient class, able to solve such a trouble just by sitting in the spaceship.”
