They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.
Chapter 199 The Meeting of the Six Departments of Luofu
Chapter 199 The Meeting of the Six Offices of Luofu
Seeing that Rakshasa hadn't given anything away, Dan Lei didn't press the matter further about the name Apocalypse. Instead, he suddenly spoke with a serious expression.
"Alright, everyone, I'll escort you to a safe place first."
When the time comes, Su Chang, you should take Dan Heng and Luo Sha to the Earth Balance Office to register.
You two, I'm not targeting you personally, but at this particular time, it's necessary to record any outsiders who appear in Liuyundu. Please cooperate.
"Snowy, come with me. We have a lot to do after this."
Dan Lei is now the Dragon Lord and the strongest person present, so the two of them naturally had no objections, at least verbally agreed.
The rest of the journey went relatively smoothly. Apart from a few berserk small machines that could be easily taken down, we didn't encounter any other enemies.
Back at the Starship Sea Central Hub, the people here were still coming and going as usual.
While passersby didn't show widespread fear, some tourists who clearly weren't from the Immortal Boat seemed anxious, and a large group of people were queuing outside the Tianbo Temple.
Clearly, most of the people of Xianzhou are unaware of the situation outside, as the Luofu authorities have done a good job of blocking information.
Of course, at this time, the Luofu authorities probably didn't know what kind of enemy they were facing, and the Jianmu tree hadn't grown yet. They probably thought it was still within a controllable range, so they chose to block information.
Therefore, Dan Lei didn't comment much. After saying goodbye to Su Chang, Dan Heng, and Luo Sha, he left first.
Dan Lei deliberately allowed Dan Heng and Luo Sha to move freely.
Given Su Chang's naivety, Dan Heng and Luo Sha easily shook her off.
After all, Dan Heng dared not register with the Earth Balance Bureau, because his name was only erased on the surface. Some departments that could see old cases and secrets still knew about Dan Heng's past life.
Otherwise, if Danheng sneaks back after a hundred or two hundred years and lives permanently in a grotto-heaven with fewer enlightened beings, the Earth Balance Division wouldn't be able to tell the difference, wouldn't that be quite embarrassing?
As for Rakshasa, he would probably slip away first, adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble," which would pave the way for his later surrender to the prison.
After leaving Su Chang, Dan Heng, and Luo Sha, Dan Lei immediately pulled Xue Yi to a deserted alley, set up a soundproof barrier, and distorted the light within it, then earnestly said...
There are too many irrelevant people in front of me, so I can't say many things.
Xueyi, abandon all capture missions now and return to the Ten Kings Division to deliver the message.
The enemy we are facing this time is no small matter. The Great Lord of Annihilation, Iron Tomb, is involved. He ordered the Prisoner Red Robe to shut down all the golden figures that use computer programs.
Adding a manual access control layer to the prison gates immediately cuts off external communication with the computer database.
Tell Chiyi that the general's highest wartime order will arrive soon, and tell her to prepare quickly.
Upon hearing Dan Lei's solemn arrangement, Xueyi nodded and immediately slipped away from the alley.
Dan Lei continued to act as if nothing had happened, returned to the street, and openly walked into Tianbosi.
Not all of Luofu's Cloud Cavalry are dressed in plain clothes. After receiving the news that Dan Lei had become the Dragon Lord, the first thing the Luofu Cloud Cavalry did was to hold a meeting to inform all Cloud Cavalry members of this.
Therefore, when the Yunqi, who were transferred to Tianbo Division to maintain order, saw Dan Lei, they were all stunned at first, and then stood up straight within half a second.
Dan Lei didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded to the guards and entered Tianbo Division directly.
Tianbo Sidanlei was already quite familiar with him, so he didn't need anyone to guide him inside and went straight to Yukong's office.
Of course, even if he hadn't become a Dragon Lord, Dan Lei could still find Yu Kong at any time, and that's even more true now.
Dan Lei was stopped by Xi Kui at the door of Yu Kong's office. Xi Kui spoke very respectfully.
"Lord Danlei, Lord Yukong is currently in a meeting with representatives from various merchant guilds in Luofu to discuss issues related to supplies. Could you please wait a moment?"
Dan Lei didn't make things difficult for Xi Kui, and said directly...
"Miss Xi Kui, please inform the Sky Control Division Chief that I will be initiating the Luo Fu Six Divisions Meeting in my capacity as Dragon Lord. Please ask her to put aside all her current affairs and come with me to the Divine Strategy Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Xi Kui went in to report without hesitation.
Although Dan Lei is not currently affiliated with Luofu Dragon Lord, he is theoretically not allowed to initiate the Luofu Six Departments Conference.
But everyone in Luofu is familiar with Danlei and knows that Danlei wouldn't hold such a meeting for no reason.
Moreover, the fact that Danlei used his power as soon as he returned means something big must have happened.
Therefore, Yu Kong immediately came out of the conference room and said bluntly.
"Danlei, what happened that you're in such a hurry?"
Dan Lei couldn't possibly discuss this in front of Xi Kui, so he gave Yu Kong a look and then said...
"I would like to trouble Lord Yukong to use the internal communication system of Guantianbosi to contact the head of the Six Departments to go to Shencefu. My communicator does not have internal access, so I can only come to find them in person."
Upon hearing this, Yu Kong didn't say much and immediately went to make the contact.
After leaving Tianbo Division, Dan Lei directly borrowed one of Tianbo Division's public starships and flew to Shence Prefecture, completely disregarding air traffic control.
Upon arriving at Shence Mansion, Dan Lei was quickly welcomed inside.
Among the six officials in charge of Luofu, Fu Xuan had arrived earlier.
When Danlei returned from Zhu Ming, he went to visit Zhu Ming. At that time, he was not in Luofu, so he was absent.
The Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司) is no longer mentioned; the position of Dan Ding Si has been vacant for hundreds of years.
Chi Yi, the prison warden of the Ten Kings, had just received a notification from Xue Yi that he was unavailable to attend, and Dan Lei had also refused to allow him to participate in the meeting via remote communication, so he was also absent.
With Dan Lei and Yu Kong arriving, everyone was present. Jing Yuan gestured for them to sit down and then asked directly...
"Alright, everyone who could come is here. Danlei, tell me, why did you convene an emergency meeting of the six departments as soon as you got back?"
Before Dan Lei could answer Jing Yuan's question, Fu Xuan added...
"You'd better have something really important to do. I was just about to go and capture the Star Core Hunter when I was summoned here."
Moreover, I heard that the Jade Realm Gate was attacked, and we have a lot of things to deal with right now.
Upon hearing this, Dan Lei knew that Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan were working together as usual, because Dan Lei now had a political identity and they could no longer communicate with him as they had before.
However, Dan Lei wasn't prepared to beat around the bush and spoke frankly.
"Believe me, after hearing the information I bring back, you will realize that everything that happened before was nothing."
"By the way, there's no need to check on the Jade Realm Gate. I have extremely urgent intelligence; that damned gate couldn't be opened, so I just blasted it to pieces."
Upon hearing Dan Lei mention the extremely urgent military situation, Jing Yuan's expression instantly turned serious, and he immediately asked...
"Dan Lei, how much do you know about the current situation in Luofu?"
Dan Lei directly projected the image of the antimatter legion fleet recorded in Yu Zhaoli, and after providing the coordinates, he said...
"This is what I happened to encounter when I came back. This massive antimatter fleet is stationed in an uninhabited space a distance away from Luofu by one jump. The fleet is currently in a state of silence, but it may attack at any time."
Upon seeing the coordinates, Fu Xuan immediately stood up and shouted.
"Impossible! How could the Antimatter Legion have brought its fleet this close without being detected!"
The detection system in Luofu didn't react, and the Qiong Guan Formation didn't issue any alarms!
In response to this question, Dan Lei summoned his remaining computing power worm and then answered.
"This fleet is just an appetizer. I used computing power to infiltrate the fleet's network, obtained fragmented data from a plan, and came to a conclusion."
The attack on Luofu was a joint operation led by the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, with Xingxiao as the assistant and Tiemu as the support.
Iron Curtain is adept at cyber intrusion and has already completed intelligence control around Luofu without your knowledge.
Before entering the galaxy, with the help of Ms. Black Tower, I contacted Zhu Ming and Yao Qing.
General Huaiyan has already reported to the alliance through the Yellow Race system, and the reinforcements from the two immortal ships will arrive in a week.
However, Luofu's Huangzhong system communication has been cut off. General Huaiyan tried to contact Luofu, but Luofu did not respond at all.
Therefore, all electronic devices in Luofu are now unreliable. The Qiong Guan Array may not be affected, since it is directly connected to Fu Taibu's third eye, and it would be easily detected if it were hacked. However, its divination requires external data support or a designated object; it cannot divinate out of thin air.
Without accurate external data, it lacks a calibrated object, and the conclusions drawn will also be inaccurate.
Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Fu Xuan's face turned pale. With three Great Lords of Annihilation arriving at Luofu, there was no point in calculating; Luofu was doomed.
Jing Yuan's expression was no longer serious, but rather solemn, and he asked directly.
"Dan Lei, do you have any evidence to support your claim that three Great Lords of Annihilation have come?"
In response to this question, Dan Lei directly showed the photo of Tingyun that Ruan Mei had given him, and said...
"The Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, has transformed into Tingyun and infiltrated Luofu."
Fortunately, Tingyun was lucky and was rescued by a foreign merchant named Luosha, who took him to Ruan Mei's place.
Ruan Mei helped Tingyun out of respect for me, and her life was temporarily saved.
However, according to Nguyen Mai, Ting Yun's situation is not optimistic.
After receiving the message, I tried to contact Luo Fu, but I could no longer reach him.
By the way, I encountered that Rakshasa when I entered Luofu. He clearly had his own purpose in coming here. Now that the three Great Lords of Annihilation have arrived, we no longer have the energy to deal with his affairs.
However, I sensed a trace of ice-attribute sword energy on him that didn't belong to him. This seemed to be... the sword energy of one of your old friends, recorded in the Ten Kings' Archives. Has she returned?
No sooner had Dan Lei finished speaking than Yu Kong stood up, even drawing her weapon, and said directly...
"Now that we've identified a target, what else is there to say? Let's set a trap and eliminate one of the Great Lords of Annihilation first."
This way, even if we have to face two more Great Lords of Annihilation later, the pressure on us will be much less.
Dan Lei could understand Yu Kong's reaction. Ting Yun was someone she had raised since childhood, practically a daughter to her. Any mother would go berserk seeing her child treated like this.
However, Dan Lei stopped Yu Kong at this moment, saying directly...
"No, you don't understand Huanlong's nature at all. If you rashly set up an ambush, even if you can defeat her, you won't be able to capture her."
Judging from the injuries on Tingyun's body, Huanlong's true form is Suiyang.
"How do you plan to kill a Suiyang of the Extinction Grand Monarch level?!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Kong slammed his hand on the table and roared.
"Even if we can't kill her, we must weaken her power. Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?!"
At this moment, Jing Yuan, whose expression had returned to its calm and collected state, spoke up, shouting loudly...
"Calm down, both of you! Things haven't reached the point of no return yet."
The enemy was initially in the dark while we were in the light, and the intelligence gap between the two sides was huge. Once the enemy started to act, Luofu was almost certain to be destroyed.
But the intelligence that Danlei brought back has now reversed the situation.
We already know who our opponent is, and have even identified one of the Great Lords of Annihilation, but they are unaware that we know their plans.
So now we're in the dark, and they're in the light.
Jing Yuan's words, combined with his expression and actions, immediately gave people a sense of inexplicable reassurance. Fu Xuan and Yu Kong sat down again, waiting for Jing Yuan's next instructions.
Then, Jing Yuan said to Dan Lei
"Danlei, you haven't finished reporting all the information yet, please continue."
Dan Lei admired Jing Yuan's composure under pressure, and continued...
"Actually, I've always felt that Huanlong must have had other purposes for infiltrating Luofu."
To put it bluntly, if the three Great Lords of Annihilation were to arrive in their true forms, with their mental control, battlefield command, and ability to block electronic devices, they could easily overwhelm Luofu with the help of that fleet.
Therefore, I judge that we will indeed be facing three Great Lords of Annihilation this time, but Xingxiao and Tiemu may not be coming in their true forms.
However, their abilities are troublesome enough.
We have relatively complete information about Xingxiao, but she also has the ability to create her own appearance, which means that she could be anyone in the Immortal Ship right now.
We must find her first before we can develop a targeted plan.
As for Huanlong, I suggest letting her play Tingyun for a while longer.
Even if we want to surround and kill her, we need to gather helpers and try to trap her directly.
Fu Taibu, even after the meeting, you still need to apprehend the Star Core Hunter. The rest of the arrangements will proceed as planned. The goal is the same: to lower Huanlong's guard.
Furthermore, the Star Core Hunters are quite powerful. Given our current situation, once we capture them, as long as they don't help the Antimatter Legion, we'll have to try to cooperate, even if it's like dealing with a tiger for its skin.
However, before the encirclement begins, the Sky-Driving Commander cannot see the fake Tingyun again. Suiyang is very sensitive to hatred, and if you see her, it may expose that we already know her identity.
As for the Iron Tomb, I'm not very knowledgeable about cyberattacks; I only know that physical isolation can temporarily alleviate its corrosive effects on the Immortal Ship's electronic systems.
Jing Yuan adopted most of Dan Lei's suggestions, and he said directly...
"I hereby declare Louvre Secretly in a state of war."
The helmsman, before even considering victory, plans for defeat, activating the emergency plan in case the celestial vessel is damaged.
Tianbo Division needs to secretly prepare ships that can accommodate all the people of the Immortal Ship for their escape.
Disabling all electronic devices is too deliberate. I will give you an order to mobilize warships to quell the chaos within Luofu.
However, all ships should not connect to the network before launching.
Fu Qing, after the meeting, you should go and capture the Star Core Hunter as usual. Dan Lei is right, now is not the time to take action against Huanlong. I need time to make some arrangements.
Danlei, go back to the Vidyadhara clan. There are some things you will know when you get back. I trust your judgment.
By the way, that old friend you mentioned, if she really comes, could you help me find her?
She wanted to see me, and she would have shown herself long ago.
While researching, I discovered something chilling: on the list of great enemies, there is a Great Lord who used mirror antimatter for destruction.
Economists from the Lovre Institute once investigated a peculiar world that had been completely dematerialized. Everything in it was rushing toward its mirror-like duality, which then burst into a dazzling annihilation upon collision.
However, there is no corresponding figure among the Grand Princes released by the official sources.
The only corresponding ones I can think of are White Calamity and Black Calamity.
Furthermore, the theory of Onphalus states that three messengers were born, but it has never been said that there was one each of intellect, memory, and destruction.
However, since the three destinies are intertwined, we assume that one destiny gives birth to one messenger.
Therefore, a combination of two Destruction Commanders and one Memory Commander is not impossible.
After all, if the Iron Tomb is indeed an ancient being, then it would be impersonating a Wisdom Envoy by using its own characteristics.
Bai E is clearly the messenger of destruction, and fits the characteristics of destroying memories.
The idea that a scholar from ancient times would sacrifice a colleague to elevate his own rank seems plausible.
Of course, what I said above is mostly guesswork without any basis. If I guess right, please come back and call me a prophet in the future.
