They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 167 A Clever Tactic: Dan Lei's Gleanings on the Origin of the [Suihuang]
When Ji Du conveyed Yan Tingjun's invitation, Dan Lei found it a little strange, but didn't suspect anything.

Since Ji Du is also a disciple of [Yan Ting Jun], it is normal for her to deliver messages.

Dan Lei couldn't detect any signs of her lying. Given the psychological trauma he had inflicted on her last time, if she were trying to trick him, she wouldn't be completely unaffected.

Of course, what puzzled Danlei was that she saw herself so calm and composed, completely different from the person she had met last time.

So Danlei directly called Yuzhao to Danzhu, wanting to continue observing her reaction and ask her if she knew any inside information.

"Sister Danzhu, Lord Yanting has sent someone to summon me. Has something happened recently?"

"Oh, so you were looking for me too. Is it related to drug smuggling?"

"Okay, okay, see you later."

Danlei felt relieved after making that call.

Because Danzhu said that a senior brother sent by "Yantingjun" was also looking for her, asking her to return to her clan, saying that it was related to the smuggling of medicines by Zhu Mingdan Dingsi.

Moreover, when Dan Lei made the call, Ji Du's expression was normal and his emotions remained stable, which reassured Dan Lei.

Actually, Ji Du was able to deceive Dan Lei here entirely because of the Suiyang Flame within her body.

Suiyang has the ability to devour the host's emotions. Therefore, as long as Yanhuo continues to devour the various emotions generated by Ji Du, she can remain in a state of fearlessness, thoughtlessness, and indifference.

Dan Lei didn't have the ability to see into other people's souls, so he couldn't see that there was a Sui Yang inside Ji Du's body helping her solve her emotional problems, and that's why he was deceived.

So, Dan Lei used the Jade Treasure Phone to say hello to Yun Li in the workshop, and then left with Ji Du.

With the help of the yang energy within his body, Ji Du made no mistakes on the way and led Dan Lei to a lavishly decorated starship.

The starships inside the Immortal Ship are actually buses and private cars, so Dan Lei didn't find it strange.

However, as the starship took off, Dan Lei looked out the window and felt increasingly uneasy.

Although the streets outside the window were constantly changing, this starship never strayed far from the [Suihuang] main body, which served as the center of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship.

It circled the grotto surrounding the main body of [Suihuang].

It's important to know that the Wisdom Clan is an aquatic race. Even the [Flame Court Lord] lineage, which is skilled in playing with fire, prefers to live underwater in their daily lives.

Therefore, the grotto-heaven inhabited by the Zhu Ming Chiming clan was far from the [Suihuang] body. After all, no matter how much one loves water, no one would want to live in boiling water.

You said that installing a filter would be enough to maintain the temperature in the cave?

But Zhu Ming Chiming isn't stupid. Even if the Chiming tribe were rich, they wouldn't install an extra filter for a super-large sun that most of their people dislike.

Therefore, Dan Lei's expression immediately turned serious, and he asked Ji Du.

"Miss Ji Du, where exactly is this starship headed? Aren't you leading me in circles around the pseudo-Yang right now?"

Here, Dan Lei was unsure which side Ji Du was on, so he didn't take action directly.

However, upon hearing this, Ji Du immediately stood up and continued speaking with his usual expressionless face.

"Your Excellency is indeed astute. You have only been in Zhu Ming for a little over a week, yet you have already discovered the problem so quickly."

In response to Ji Du's words, Dan Lei simply pointed to the [Suihuang] entity outside the window and said...
"I'm not blind. Even if I'm not familiar with the streets, I can still see this huge fake sun."

"They've flown for so long, but the distance hasn't increased much. Even a fool would know something's wrong."

Seeing that Dan Lei was still explaining so calmly, Ji Du suddenly asked...
"So, you already know I'm leading you into a trap, why are you still so calm?"

When asked about Suiyang's question, Danlei shook his head and laughed speechlessly.
"Because I don't think you and the forces behind you can really come up with any traps that could threaten me."

If you have the ability, it would be more in your interest to leave this trap to General Huaiyan or Lord Yanting.

After all, I'm just an outsider.

Since you left this trap to me, it proves that you think it's useless against General Huaiyan and Lord Yanting.

So, I feel it's useless for me either.

Upon hearing this, Ji Du's expression suddenly turned manic, and he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, ignorant, truly ignorant."

An outsider, indeed, doesn't understand the power of the descendants of [Suihuang].

As Ji Du laughed, a bright green flame appeared on her chest. At the same time, dozens of flames simultaneously pierced through the outer wall of the Starship, surrounding Dan Lei in the middle.

Given the inevitable threat posed by Huanlong, and considering that the Suiyang clan is a key research subject for Danlei, it's impossible for him not to recognize them when they're right in front of him.

Therefore, Dan Lei guessed the organization Ji Du belonged to and stood up to say...

"Suiyang, interesting. I didn't expect that the [Suihuang Sect] would actually be passed down on the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship."

Ji Du no longer had Sui Yang to help her manage her emotions, so she roared wildly.

"Haha, of course we have inherited it. [Suihuang] will surely ascend to godhood, and the sinners in the Immortal Ship Alliance who hinder our god's path to godhood will be punished!"
However, you are an exception, because you will be the key to unlocking the seal of the [Suihuang]!

As Ji Du finished speaking, the aurora particle belt surrounding the [Suihuang] body suddenly exploded.

Dan Lei's star raft made a 90-degree turn and rushed towards the main body of [Suihuang].

At the same time, the scorching sun surrounding Dan Lei rushed towards his body.

Up to this point, the plans of the [Suihuang Faction] were progressing smoothly.

However, the next second, Ji Du was completely dumbfounded.

When Suiyang crashed into Danlei, it was as if a frantic mouse had crashed into a glass wall.

Danlei's mental defenses consist of the power of memory and destiny, plus a rune array, with the Holy Grail serving as a second layer of protection inside.

These Suiyang guys severely underestimated Danlei's mental defenses; they were bounced back with "heads bleeding" just from hitting the outer layer of protection.

The only gain was that Danlei's coat and lining were burned.

However, Dan Lei didn't pay any attention to the dizzy and disoriented Sui Yang at the moment.

The real problem is that this starship is currently crashing into the main body of [Fire Emperor].

【Suihuang】The flames of the main body are at the star level. Dan Lei can withstand them for a short time. As long as the energy is not exhausted, he will not be burned to ashes.

But who would want to go into a stellar-level fire and experience being roasted alive?
So Danlei didn't hold back and unleashed his magic power on the spot, blasting the entire starship to pieces.

As for Ji Du on the ship, good luck to her. If she doesn't die from the fall, I'll at least provide her with free food and drink for hundreds of years. Sentencing this guy to a mere molting and reincarnation is too lenient for her.

However, when Dan Lei exploded the starship and stood high in the sky, he found that he was now in the aurora particle belt.

The outermost layer of the aurora particles emitted by the [Fire Emperor] is the birthplace of the newborn Sun. The Fire-Hunting Judges of the Ten Kings' Offices of the Ming Dynasty capture these innocent, untainted Suns, using them to warm dreams and tame the immature nature of the flames. Afterward, the judges hand over the harmless Suns to the Fire Supervisors of the Crafts Bureau, who then combine them with various ingenious tools, transforming them into lampstands, vehicles, and ubiquitous landscapes of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the explosion that occurred in the aurora particle belt, countless newborn suns are now wandering around this area.

At this moment, Yan Huo, who had just tried to take over Dan Lei's body but ended up feeling dizzy from the impact, decisively activated Plan B.

The dozens of primordial energies that attacked Dan Lei instantly merged with him, and the massive amount of newly generated primordial energies around him were also swallowed up.

Soon, Yan Huo's main flame expanded dozens of times in an instant, and its energy level continued to increase.

After the flames expanded to a diameter of over twenty meters, it directly used telepathy to roar at Dan Lei.

"Outsider, come with me to the source of the [Suihuang] to awaken that great one. You can't escape!"

After saying that, it charged at Danlei again.

Here, Yan Huo's goal is still to possess Dan Lei's body.

Because it is the sun of the year, once it enters the homeland of the [Suihuang] and has no other living being to protect it, it will instantly merge into the [Suihuang] body.

Of course, this was one of its original purposes, because only in this way could it avoid being blocked by the dream of [Suihuang], and bring other things closer to the origin of [Suihuang], thereby awakening this ancestor of the year.

To be honest, Danlei originally wanted to find a falling part of the starship to replace him and avoid the impact.

But when Suiyang said he could take him into the [Suihuang] Origin, Danlei suddenly didn't want to hide anymore.

It's important to know that the [Suihuang] body is not so easy to enter; its outermost aurora particle belt alone can deter 99% of those on the path of destiny.

Further inside is the Flame Wheel Forging Palace.

After breaking through the Flame Wheel Forging Palace, there is actually a supergravity field.

It is a chaotic force field that collapses inward, formed by the energy density of the native star of [Suihuang].

Without the stable energy of the [Fire Emperor], this energy density gravitational field would instantly form a huge black hole, and even taking out a small part of it would form a small black hole.

This is also the main reason why many people suspect that Bai Heng's killing of the fleeting black hole was due to the power of the [Suihuang].

Normally, only the most gifted people, besides the top-tier Destiny Walkers, can move within such a super gravity field.

Further inside lies the [Suihuang] spiritual dream realm; the outer edge of this area is where Danlei's spirit last reached.

However, Shen Du Dan Lei was not confident in breaking through, and a mishandling of the situation could awaken [Sui Huang].

After passing through the spiritual dream realm, one encounters the primordial energy of the [Suihuang].

Normally, if the [Suihuang] merges with other Suiyang, its energy will indeed eventually be sent to the source.

Therefore, Danlei decided to take a gamble. It is obvious whether it is easier to wake someone who is clearly in a deep sleep or to wake them up by secretly drawing a little blood.

Given the size of [Suihuang], Danlei is like a mosquito. Taking a sip of primordial energy while it is asleep would normally not wake it.

As for how to get out, Danlei doesn't really need to think too much about it.

Having been "brought" into the [Suihuang] body by Suiyang, Huaiyan was no longer able to close the barrier.

Moreover, he couldn't say anything to Dan Lei, because Dan Lei was attacked by the [Suihuang Faction] of Zhu Mingxianzhou, which was General Huaiyan's responsibility.

Therefore, Huaiyan will definitely try his best to rescue Danlei.

After all, if Dan Lei were to force his way into the [Suihuang]'s dream in order to survive, and something were to happen, the entire Zhu Ming Immortal Ship would be the one to suffer.

As a result, Dan Lei offered almost no resistance, allowing Yan Huo to crash directly into him.

The previous collision had already allowed Dan Lei to figure out the mental strength of those dozens of Suiyang.

He knew that even if all of these guys combined their mental strength, they wouldn't be a match for him.

How much spiritual power could those newly born yang that they absorbed, a bunch of guys who hadn't even awakened their self-awareness, possibly have?

Therefore, Dan Lei was not afraid at all that this collective entity Sui Yang could break through his mental defenses.

As for the energy gathered by the Suiyang aggregate, is it still stronger than the energy of the [Suihuang] after it enters the interior?
Danlei directly activated the Echoing Interplay of Propagation and Abundance: Regenerating Spores to enhance the body's defense and recovery capabilities.

Furthermore, Danlei used a displacement magic trick to swap the positions of all the sacs around his waist and the furniture in his home.

As expected, Yan Huo's second attempt to invade Dan Lei's body ended in failure, leaving him bleeding profusely.

This time, Danlei had no memory of destiny protecting it, so it barely broke through the mental defense of the runes and then crashed into the memory of destiny energy defense zone established by the Holy Grail.

However, after Dan Lei activated the Spirit Binding Technique, Yan Huo's true form was firmly controlled by Dan Lei around his body thanks to his spirit control ability.

From the outside, Yanhuo's actions seemed like swallowing Danlei whole and then heading straight for the homeland of [Suihuang].

But only Yanhuo knew that Danlei was using him as a shield.

Clearly, Danlei felt that the flames of Yanhuo were more comfortable to burn than to brave the flames of [Suihuang] outside.

Moreover, when it subsequently breaks through the outer wall of the Flame Wheel Forging Palace and passes through the gravity disorder zone, the flames will withstand the impact. Isn't that wonderful?

Thus, Yan Huo was horrified to discover that there seemed to be a chain around Dan Lei, locking him tightly outside Dan Lei, making it impossible for him to break free.

They tried to crawl into Dan Lei's body, but found that his body was like a forbidden zone of Suiyang, and they couldn't get in at all.

Therefore, he was forced to become a shield, leading Dan Lei into the body of [Suihuang].

Upon re-entering the dream realm, thanks to the presence of a True Sun, [Suihuang] instinctively opened a dedicated passage to welcome the energy it had distributed back.

Dan Lei, who was hiding inside Yan Huo's body, managed to get by like that.

However, after entering the area where the true source energy of [Suihuang] resides...

Even the flames could no longer protect Danlei; it was instantly absorbed by the essence of [Suihuang].

Before dissipating, Yan Huo used his last consciousness to say to Dan Lei...

"You will die. No one can withstand the continuous burning of the Ancestor of the Years' Flames forever."

Your struggle will awaken my ancestors. Even if you suppress your energy and wait for death, the overflowing external energy of a powerhouse of your level will still awaken my ancestors after your death.

Hahaha, the agreement for possession that my ancestor made with your ancestors will surely be carried out once my ancestor awakens.

We, the people of Suiyang, demand repayment of this debt, and will never forget it. You must pay the price…

After saying this, the flames completely dissipated, returning to the origin of [Suihuang].

At this moment, Dan Lei had to face the primordial energy of [Suihuang] head-on, instantly turning into a state of being charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
