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

Chapter 196 The Amber Calendar 2158 Begins
Dan Lei and Huai Yan then talked for a long time about the politics of the Immortal Ship before leaving the Flame Wheel Forging Palace after dinner.

Of course, at this moment, the [Red Dust] sword box was already on Dan Lei's back.

As soon as Dan Lei stepped outside, he saw Yun Li sitting on the stone steps eating fried lotus root.

She saw Danlei come out and skipped over to say...

"Danlei, you've finally come out."

"Hey, you don't look like you got beaten up. Did you beat up Grandpa?"

Dan Lei looked at Huai Yan's already leaky "little cotton-padded jacket" and muttered speechlessly.

"Yun Li, in your eyes, General Huaiyan only calls me over to either beat someone up or get beaten up? Can't we talk about something serious?"

Yun Li addressed this question without any hesitation.
“Every time Grandpa gets angry, someone always gets unlucky. He calls you over and makes me chase everyone around away. Of course, I thought you would fight.”

Oh right, this is the sword case you commissioned your grandfather to make, right? Your flying sword is inside, isn't it? Take it out and let me see it.

I don't even know when Grandpa last put all his effort into forging weapons; I've only ever seen him make toys.

Seeing Yun Li's curious expression, Dan Lei opened the sword box with a thought, and four flying swords came out at the same time, swirling and floating around Dan Lei.

Under Dan Lei's control, the four swords of Zhuxian did not unleash chaotic elemental attacks, allowing Yun Li to observe them up close.

However, seeing that Yun Li's face was almost pressed against the blades of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, Dan Lei still flicked his finger on her forehead and warned her.

"Don't get too close. The blades of these four swords have been tempered by the power of destruction. If your little face touches them, you will be disfigured on the spot, and it will be impossible to heal in a short time."

Yun Li is physically inflexible; Dan Lei flicking her head is like a tickle to her, and she just says with disdain...
"Don't treat me like a child; I can feel the threat on the blade."

And my best friend warned me to stay away from those four swords.

Danlei, to be honest, I'm a little envious.

You're not a professional swordsman; a sword is just a tool to you. It makes no difference whether you use a gun, a knife, or a hammer.

Now that I'm giving you these four swords, I truly understand the meaning of "casting pearls before swine."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei promptly ruffled Yun Li's hair and muttered a few words of complaint.
"What do you mean by casting pearls before swine! If I can make the most of them, then it's not casting pearls before swine!"
When did someone skilled in all martial arts become unable to use a sword?

However, when it comes to using a sword, Yun Li was a hundred times unconvinced, stating bluntly...

"You're not a master of all martial arts, but rather someone who stops practicing once they've mastered all weapons. You're only good at fist techniques and swordsmanship, at the level of a master."

But they are absolutely unworthy of these four swords!!

Dan Lei knew that Yun Li was quite stubborn when it came to swords, but in the game, her relationship with Yan Qing also stemmed from this stubbornness.

Therefore, Dan Lei did not force Yun Li to acknowledge his swordsmanship.

Moreover, they took her directly to the martial arts arena and agreed that neither of them would use their destiny power or any other non-martial arts techniques, and would fight with heavy swords of the same material.

Then, relying on his superior physical abilities compared to Yun Li, he won more than ten matches in a row.

There was no way around it; Yun Li's fighting style was characterized by wide, sweeping movements and immense power, making bricks fly everywhere.

This fighting style makes it very difficult to fight against enemies who are physically superior to you.

Those like Yanqing can also choose to use their agile movements and superb flying sword skills to create distance and attempt hit-and-run tactics.

However, Yun Li's movement techniques are all for short-distance maneuvering. Once the speed difference is erased, she can only rely on her physical strength to withstand the attack.

Unfortunately, Dan Lei is no longer the same as before. With the continuous awakening of his Manifestation Dragon Body, his power is far beyond what Yun Li, at her age, can contend with.

If Feixiao were here, Danlei would probably dare to arm wrestle with her.

As for hand-to-hand combat, forget it. Fei Xiao's martial arts skills are far superior to mine. Even without magic, I still can't beat him.

Unless it's not hand-to-hand combat in the training ground.

After thoroughly ravaging Yun Li, Dan Lei, in a good mood, went home to sleep. The next day, he first went to Yan Tingjun to ask her to help him report the title he had chosen.

After finishing, they went straight to those unscrupulous business associations.

Dan Lei's actual methods for dealing with these unscrupulous business associations were far more ruthless than what he told Huai Yan.

As for obtaining memories from Suiyang, Danlei simply took them from the head of the Chamber of Commerce's head.

After infiltrating the Chamber of Commerce, first release some hypnotic magic that makes people sleepy.

Then, while the person in charge was about to find a place to take a nap, they knocked him unconscious, copied his memory, and then deleted the small segment of memory that had been erased while he was unconscious.

That way, when he wakes up, he'll just think he was too tired and fell asleep.

Even with surveillance cameras, Dan Lei remained invisible throughout, so all he could see was himself suddenly closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Then, Danlei uses the memories of these unscrupulous businessmen to uncover the facts of their crimes.

Arrest another unlicensed Suiyang, force it to record the scene from a third-party perspective through its memory, and then read its memory. In this way, a memory of the crime scene seen by Suiyang is completed.

Moreover, because Danlei already possesses the memories of these unscrupulous merchants, he knows their bottom line and where they hide things perfectly well.

When you go to negotiate with them, just throw out a few facts and memories, and these people will back down.

Then, Dan Lei didn't go all the way. He asked them to hand over some of their privately hoarded unregistered weapons and withdraw their complaint against Huai Yan. That was the end of it.

These chambers of commerce are deeply entrenched in Zhu Mingxianzhou, and even Huai Yan, with ample evidence, was unable to eradicate them completely.

After all, dismantling a chamber of commerce only means arresting some frontmen; the masterminds can simply find someone else to register another chamber of commerce and continue their shady dealings.

Dan Lei handed over the privately hoarded weapons that ended up in his hands to Huai Yan. He couldn't be greedy for these bargains, otherwise he would be handing over his secrets to these unscrupulous merchants.

However, the reason Danlei left some unregistered weapons for those unscrupulous merchants was so that they could steal them.

According to the memories of the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, Dan Lei knew exactly where the weapons were hidden. He sneaked in and took all the weapons, leaving these unscrupulous merchants with no choice but to swallow their anger.

Of course, in order to cover up this batch of weapons, Dan Lei also purchased a large number of individual weapons for the puppets from Zhu Mingxianzhou.

Here, Huai Yan reciprocated by giving himself a small favor within his authority.

After all, the smuggled weapons that are handed over are meant to be used or destroyed anyway, so selling them to Dan Lei is not a violation of regulations.

Then, as Cripper's giant hammer slowly fell, the sound of the hammer resounding throughout the universe, the Starry Sky Ecology School of the Knowledge Society announced: the Amber Era 2157 has ended, and the 2158 Era has officially begun.

On the first day of the 2158th century, the Immortal Ship's Dragon Lord Council officially announced to the entire alliance that Luo Fu's Dragon Lord Dan Lei had created a new method for transforming into a dragon and officially became the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Lord Clan, with the title: Lord Yu Yang.

Of course, Dan Lei, this Dragon Lord, is currently in an awkward state of having an undetermined territory, zero subordinates, and no power.

However, Bai Lu, the Dragon Lord of the Luofu Chiming Clan, is currently unable to relive the Dragon Ancestor's past in her dreams and obtain the true inheritance of Yin Yue Jun.

The Dragon Sovereign Council intends to have Dan Lei temporarily assume the duties of Yin Yuejun and lead Luofu Chiming.

But this is not something that can be decided in a day or two, because it is equivalent to removing her from her post while the successor of Lord Yinyue is still alive, and the Dragon Council does not agree on the matter.

Moreover, the Luofu Vidyadhara Dragon Master Council is happy to let the Dragon Lord Council discuss this at its own pace.

Dragon Master Xuepu and Dragon Master Fenghuan are now in a panic. Once Dan Lei gains control of Luofu Chiming, he will definitely eliminate the two of them immediately. Therefore, these two have instantly become members of the Bailu faction, insisting that Luofu Chiming can only have one Dragon Lord, and that is Yinyue Jun.

As a master of Luofu, Danlei can hold the status of a Dragon Lord, but he cannot directly oust Yinyue Jun from the throne.

Of course, Danlei had no intention of participating in these discussions within the Ming Clan.

The start of the Amber Calendar 2158th century proves that the time for Huanlong to attack Luofu is approaching, and I must return to Luofu quickly.

It's important to understand that giving Luofu advance notice of a potential cloud stoppage is not advisable.

Not to mention that Dan Lei currently has no evidence to prove that Ting Yun is not Ting Yun.

Even if Jingyuan adopted his suggestion, Tingyun would take it down as soon as he returned.

The Luofu Immortal Ship will instantly become the battlefield for the two envoys.

Even if Huanlong's destructive power is not as great as Shuhu's, in terms of how troublesome she is, as Suiyang, she is more troublesome than Shuhu in some ways.

After all, once you suddenly enter Luofu, you won't just disappear on the spot; you'll have to fight your way there no matter where you go.

If Huanlong were to abandon her Tingyun form and remain in hiding in Luofu, it would be much more difficult to find her again.

In any case, Dan Lei did not believe that Jing Yuan and the Yunqi Army alone could completely capture Huanlong.

Therefore, after receiving the title of Dragon Lord, Dan Lei immediately resigned from his post and told Huai Yan and Yan Tingjun that he should return to Luofu.

Huaiyan and Yantingjun both assumed that Danlei would go back to deal with his opponents after obtaining the title of Dragon Lord, so they did not try to persuade him to stay.

Of course, even with the spaceships Dan Lei can build and Vimana can work together, it would take at least two months to get back to Luofu from Zhu Ming.

In the game, Luofu was attacked approximately ten days after March 12th, Star Calendar 8100.

Because a divination report in the text records that if the diviner on duty used the Luofu route as the main direction to predict the future within ten days, the result would be extremely ominous.

This great calamity was actually the Illusionary Invasion Incident. At this time, it was unknown whether the Illusionary Invasion had entered the Immortal Ship, but at least the Jianmu Tree had not yet grown.

But this timing is meaningless now. For some reason, the Amber King struck the hammer later this time than in the game.

Perhaps it was the shout of "Aha!" that made everyone look at me that made it pause for a moment. In any case, when the hammer fell, it was already March 20th, Star Calendar 8100 on the Immortal Ship.

Moreover, Tingyun has not yet been delivered to Ruan Mei's place.

Fortunately, when Danlei was still a week away from Luofu, Ruan Mei finally sent a message.

She sent a picture of Tingyun lying in the medical pod, and said...

"Danlei, this is your friend, right?"

I remember you mentioned Miss Tingyun of the Minghuo Merchant Guild.

The scene of Tingyun in the photo is undeniably tragic.

Her entire body was covered in destructive energy resembling black mud, and even though it was being contained, the black mud was still slowly consuming her.

You should know that in the photo, Tingyun's body was covered in soot that it had almost reached her face; she was truly on the verge of death.

When Dan Lei saw the photo, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was a slight issue with the timing, the subsequent major events should not change much.

Of course, Dan Lei immediately pretended to be anxious and asked...
"Tingyun? What happened to her? Ruan Mei, where did you find her?"

Nguyen Mai naturally spoke the truth about these issues.
"It was a gold dealer carrying a coffin who brought her to me."

He said his name was Rakshasa.

I had never met that gold distributor before, and I don't know how he found me.

He also told me about a plan, saying he would exchange my reproductive body for her help.

As you know, reproductive bodies are no longer of much use to my current research, so I didn't follow up on his plans.

However, I recognized this Miss Tingyun, and out of respect for you, I'll spare her life.

She was attacked by a Great Lord of Annihilation and is in critical condition; I am not entirely confident I can heal her.

Dan Lei saw that the situation was similar to the original story, except that Ruan Mei refused Luo Sha's cooperation, and said that it was alright if it was just like that.

Luocha himself will definitely be able to meet her in Luofu. Whatever Ruan Mei needs to do in the plan, as long as he participates, it is the same as Ruan Mei participating.

So Danlei quickly replied

"Miss Tingyun, please do your best to treat her. She is one of my few friends."

By the way, Ruan Mei, could you estimate how long it would take for this merchant named Luosha to reach Luofu from your location?

[Location coordinates of Luofu]

Ruan Mei looked at the coordinates and said directly
"These coordinates aren't far from here. Two jumps will get you there, and if you're quick, he can get to Luofu in two days."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei calculated the time and found that it was indeed about the same. Among the foreign knights on the same mission, the Earth Balance Division had a record that he arrived in Luofu a few days before the Jianmu tree sprouted.

Based on this timeline, I'll most likely arrive in Luofu later than the Starry Sky Train. If I'm lucky, I might be able to get off at Danheng.

The Star Train is not equipped with expensive long-range remote sensing equipment, so in reality, it is impossible to receive text messages from all corners of the universe while on the train.

It can only be used as a planetary-level communication satellite to ensure that anonymous guests can communicate with each other within the same planet.

The fact that they could only contact the Black Tower to send Walter and Sunday back, instead of simply sending a text message, reveals this problem.
Therefore, normally, the Star Train must reach planets and space stations equipped with long-range remote sensing in order to receive various information.

It's impossible for Danlei to send a message to Ji Zi and the others to inquire about their situation.

Similarly, Ji Zi and the others were unable to inform Dan Lei and the others that they were going to Luofu.

Because the signal could not be transmitted from the vicinity of Yalilo VI, when it arrived at Luofu Immortal Ship, the signal inside the ship was also messed up due to the interference of the star core, let alone interstellar communication.

It is almost certain that Huanlong has transformed into Tingyun and infiltrated Luofu.

The star core must have been transported in as well.

Sure enough, through the long-distance telemetry on Vimana, Dan Lei was no longer able to contact anyone on the Luofu Immortal Ship.

Since everything was developing just like in the game, Danlei immediately told Vimona to speed up, as he needed to get back to Luofu as soon as possible.

Because Danlei wanted to pick Huanlong's peaches and Jianmu fruits, he was also very interested.

You know, Huanlong worked so hard to revive Jianmu, but when he went to pick the fruit, he found that the ripe one was missing. Wouldn't he be devastated?

　This chapter is intentionally out of sync with the game time.

　　As I mentioned in a previous post, the time in the game can no longer be used as a reference starting from the 2158th year of the Amber Calendar.

　　Otherwise, even if Star Core Spirit worked 007 every day, he still wouldn't be able to finish all these tasks.

　　Furthermore, the Star Train fleet definitely can't be allowed to teleport freely throughout the universe; that would be too overpowered.

　　In the new PV, Huanlong's true form is surrounded by black mud, so Tingyun should have particularly distinctive black mud on her body.
