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

Chapter 227 Ruan Mei arrives with two planets.

Dan Lei wasn't too surprised that Jing Yuan was ambushed by Xing Xiao.

Putting aside everything else, Xingxiao's experience in large-scale military operations is arguably the best in the entire universe.

After all, other powers might not wage a galaxy-scale war even once every few centuries.

Even if wars continue, it's impossible for a super commander to fight interstellar wars for over 2,500 years.

However, Xingxiao relied on his possession ability, along with the almost endless forces of the antimatter legion.

It's entirely possible that from the moment she was born, she has been involved in wars at the galaxy level or higher every single moment.

Therefore, in terms of experience in interstellar large-scale military operations, this person is undoubtedly number one in the entire universe.

Of course, experience is paramount, but that doesn't mean command ability is paramount.

After all, even now, Xingxiao's wars are not always victorious.

For her, war was just a daily occurrence; for her, however, it was a matter of life and death.

However, her more than 2,500 years of war experience was enough for her to make predictions about all situations.

With all their own ships rendered immobile, Dan Lei was certain that the enemy, unless they were foolish, would launch a surprise attack.

However, Dan Lei knew that he was not qualified to participate in the game between Jing Yuan and Xing Xiao in terms of military strategy.

Therefore, I have no objection to Jingyuan's arrangements.

Dan Lei believed that Jing Yuan also knew that this surprise attack might contain a trap.

This was originally the point of contention between the two commanders.

Jing Yuan clearly believed that the risk of being ambushed was not as great as the benefit of destroying the enemy's warships, so he resolutely chose to launch a surprise attack.

After all, this twenty-hour window of opportunity is fleeting. Once all of the Starscream Army's ships have regained their mobility, Luo Fu will face unprecedented defensive pressure.

As a result, Jing Yuan's surprise attack was successful, and Xing Xiao's ambush was also successful.

In principle, the two sides were evenly matched, and Jing Yuan achieved his tactical objective.

Xingxiao also effectively killed Luofu's elite forces.

It should be noted that Jing Yuan's surprise attack involved the most elite soldiers of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry, but only a small number returned, and all of them were wounded.

However, Dan Lei had no time to worry about the casualties of the elite Yunqi Army, and instead asked directly...
"Jingyuan, what is the extent of your injury, and how many days will it take to heal?"

Jing Yuan didn't hide anything from this question and spoke directly.
"The injury isn't serious."

However, Xingxiao's attack carried the same mental damage, and my mind seemed to have been injured.

I have been experiencing mild dizziness ever since I was injured.

Physical injuries will heal to a point where they don't affect combat effectiveness in less than a day, but I'm not so sure about mental ones.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately put his hand on Jing Yuan's forehead with a serious expression, wanting to check the damage to Jing Yuan's soul.

Jing Yuan knew that Dan Lei had gone very deep into the path of memory and was more professional than all the physicians in Dan Ding Si when it came to the soul.

As for the issue of leaks, Jing Yuan even gave Dan Lei the position of deputy commander-in-chief of Luofu and also acted as a general, so what is there to fear about leaks?

Of course, Dan Lei didn't delve into Jing Yuan's memories. After sensing them with his memory destiny, Dan Lei's expression softened slightly, and he gave his judgment.

"Dizziness is a side effect of the shock to the soul, and it's not too serious."

Your dizziness should subside in a few hours, and with about a week of rest, you should be fully recovered.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Jing Yuan's expression softened slightly, but he still spoke slowly.

"You probably have one too, but you haven't said anything, right?"

Jing Yuan guessed correctly; Dan Lei didn't keep him in suspense and said directly.

"However, you cannot be subjected to any more spiritual shocks these next few days."

Although your soul is not damaged, it is currently in a state similar to the destruction of your protective barrier, making it extremely vulnerable. If you are attacked again during the recovery period, you will definitely be severely injured.

Honestly, given your current soul state, I feel I could kill you instantly with a soul attack.

Therefore, you cannot appear on the battlefield for the time being. You should know that Huanlong has definitely reunited with Xingxiao.

She's willing to injure herself to weaken your soul's defenses; she's definitely paving the way for Huanlong to take over you.

"Furthermore, I need to have Little Illusion send a bit of the Sun Flame into your body to confirm that you are still you."

After hearing Dan Lei's words, Jing Yuan understood Xing Xiao's plan.

She swapped injuries with herself to ensure that she would no longer pose a threat to her.

Even though Xingxiao's injuries are more severe at this moment, the Destruction Path is a path where the lower one's health, the stronger one's combat power becomes, so it will not have a significant impact on his combat strength.

On the contrary, since he himself could not appear on the battlefield, Luo Fu no longer had a complete envoy-level combat force.

Of course, Jingyuan can still devise tactics behind the scenes.

But this is exactly the scene Xingxiao wants to see. A one-sided push is boring for tacticians; it's only interesting when there's competition.

Therefore, Dan Lei retracted his conclusion that Jing Yuan and Xing Xiao were evenly matched in this round.

Xingxiao clearly profited from this.

Her tactical objective is likely to prevent Jing Yuan from participating in direct combat—in that case, the only one left to guard on the front lines is herself.

Dan Lei knew that he was not a true messenger after all, and Xing Xiao was not as restrained by the spirit-binding and commanding force as Huan Long.

It should be noted that even when Huanlong was at his peak and his energy level was far superior to his own, he could still be controlled by this move for a second or two, which already made him a "god-like special attacker".

Therefore, in Xingxiao's calculations, he could not confront her head-on.

Of course, Xingxiao's calculations weren't wrong; Danlei's own strength was indeed insufficient to confront her head-on.

However, Danlei possesses the [Aha] mask and the essence of the Joyful Destiny.

If Aha wasn't lying to himself, he could temporarily gain its power using this thing.

That power would be enough to easily crush Xingxiao.

But based on Danlei's understanding of [Aha], using his power will definitely not be so simple.

Just as his power to make the world laugh requires Dan Lei to laugh before others will laugh, using his power will definitely lead to a huge pitfall.

For example, the power of [Aha] was given to him, but he could not control it and could only be manipulated by the fate of pleasure, making him completely unable to fight.

In more serious cases, like the Nobles worm that was infused with all of its power by [Aha], losing that power would have huge side effects.

Of course, Danlei wasn't worried about exploding and dying from using this thing, because he was clearly not one of those bugs that was only used once it was tested.

Therefore, this power is only used as a backup when there is no other way. Under normal circumstances, Dan Lei can use the World Laughter Power to exchange one for one with Xing Xiao.

At worst, she could run and laugh at him for three days and three nights, making Xingxiao "laugh" with her, so that she couldn't even command an army.

After a moment of silence, Jing Yuan smiled.

"You're right, help me implant the Suiyang."

After all, if I were controlled, you wouldn't even know the consequences, and they would be unimaginable.

Dan Lei laughed about this.
"There's no rush. Little Huanlong is working with the Ten Kings, along with Xing, Judge Huo Huo, Yun Qi Su Chang, and Hua Wai Min Gui Nai Fen, to capture Sui Yang in order to restart the Creation Furnace of the Workshop."

Now, your most important task is to return to the Shence Mansion, resume your position as general, handle government affairs, and arrange the defense of Luofu.

"I can't decide how to defend Luofu. In terms of strategic and tactical capabilities, I'm still far from being as good as you and Xingxiao."

Upon hearing Dan Lei's request to return to the general's position, Jing Yuan immediately smiled and said...
"What, you're already giving up your position as acting general before you've even warmed your seat?"

Why don't you stay for a few more days, so I can get some rest?

"Of course, I'll take care of the defense issues for you." Dan Lei gritted his teeth and said in response to Jing Yuan's teasing.

"I haven't even settled the score with you for appointing me as acting general without my knowledge."

You can sit in that lousy seat for another thousand years. Even if you have to change seats, don't give them to me.

Just as Dan Lei finished speaking, Yu Zhao suddenly notified him of a new message.

Dan Lei looked and saw that it was sent by Ruan Mei.
"I've reached a jump distance from Luofu. Give me the final jump coordinates."

Seeing this, Dan Lei quickly replied

"So fast? Why don't you come over first?"

Those two activated planets should be able to receive commands before initiating a jump.

Nguyen Mai gave a negative answer to this question, stating frankly that...

"No, these two planets were activated by me in an emergency, and I didn't intend for them to remain for a long time, so they're rather clumsy."

They need to be manually commanded to jump.

Furthermore, the creatures on it need me to activate them to move, and they are currently frozen.

Seeing Ruan Mei say this, Dan Lei felt he had found the fastest way to get Jing Yuan back to his position as general, and replied directly.

"Understood. I'll head over to meet you now. Give me the coordinates."

"【coordinate】"

After saying that, Dan Lei showed Jing Yuan Yu Zhao's chat history and said with a smile.
"Alright, General Jingyuan, please return to your post."

I have to go and bring back our first batch of reinforcements.

Send me the ambush coordinates and location, along with the timing.

It's time for Xingxiao to experience what it feels like to mess with a genius.

Upon seeing the chat history, Jing Yuan could only resign himself to his fate, but he still said...

"When the woman first came to visit, she brought two activated planets and experimental organisms from those planets."

This is like planning to rob someone outright if they can't find them.

Furthermore, your relationship with the Black Tower is ambiguous, and I'm starting to worry that one day this Ms. Nguyen Mai will turn you into a specimen.

Jingyuan's words here are both a joke and an expression of his concern for Danlei.

Because all the major powers in the universe have a consensus: if you can avoid provoking someone, don't provoke a genius.

Especially those geniuses with rather unconventional moral values.

After all, not every genius is as easy to bully as Calderon Chadwick.

Moreover, after the Interstellar Peace Corporation and the family bullied Chadwick, they didn't dare to make a sound at all.

They were afraid that other geniuses would feel a sense of shared fate, and that would leave everyone in a terrible predicament.

However, Dan Lei was aware of the situation involving Heita and Nguyen Mai.

They managed to handle even the most difficult person, Nguyen Mai; Black Tower was just a bit too sharp-tongued.

Dan Lei said he has high poison resistance and thick skin, and he dares to kiss this mouth for an hour without letting go.

Therefore, Dan Lei looked at Jing Yuan with disdain and patted him on the shoulder like a senior, saying...
"General Jingyuan, why don't you take some time to fall in love?"

I wouldn't dare say I'm better than you in other areas, but when it comes to dating, you're a complete novice.

To be honest, when I confessed my feelings to Heita and Nguyen Mai, I did so simultaneously in their presence.

Therefore, your worries are unnecessary.

By the way, I mentioned before at the Engineering Department that the Black Tower wanted to come to Luofu to check for remnants of the Iron Tomb program.

I have granted you access with your general privileges.

After all, they helped us solve such a big problem, so what's a little bit of opening up the network compared to that?

As long as the Qiong Guan Formation remains closed.

Jing Yuan was so astonished by Dan Lei's shamelessness and audacity that he could practically stuff an ostrich egg into his mouth.

He confessed his feelings to two geniuses at the same time, especially since one of them was the Black Tower, who was known for his fiery temper and showed no mercy to anyone who offended him.

It's a miracle that Danlei is still alive.

As for granting Black Tower access with his own general's authority, Jing Yuan didn't want to say anything more.

After all, he would agree if he were in the position of general.

But we definitely need to report to the league before hosting a genius.

Dan Lei was clearly unaware of the reporting process, and he was ultimately responsible for failing to report it.

Since Jing Yuan had never handed things over to Dan Lei, and Fu Xuan and Qing Zu had no specific rules, they wouldn't remind Dan Lei that this matter needed to be reported.

Therefore, Jingyuan had to handle the reporting of Heita and Ruan Mei himself.

However, this is not difficult. Jingyuan plans to simply write "visiting her boyfriend" in the purpose of the visit.

As for the subsequent reactions, Jing Yuan said that it was beyond his control.

Dan Lei was unaware that Jing Yuan was planning a small "revenge" on him, and instead simply abandoned Jing Yuan, whose expression was complicated after being "roasted" by him, and ran away.

Of course, before leaving, Danlei checked on the condition of Jingliu and Ren.

As a result, she saw Bai Lu anxiously circling around the two of them, because in her opinion, one of them was about to die (Ren), and the other was not much different from a dead person (Jing Liu).

However, seeing that Jingliu and Ren seemed to be willingly being tormented by Bailu, Danlei decided not to go in and disturb them.

Afterwards, Dan Lei secretly returned to his home in Jinren Alley and took away the two Jianmu fruits.

This meeting with Nguyen Mai is the best opportunity to transfer the fruits of the Jianmu tree.

If I secretly go out to fetch reinforcements, no one will check me.

Whenever she saw Ruan Mei, she had countless ways to transfer the Jianmu fruit to her laboratory.

As expected, when Dan Lei secretly flew out of Luofu in Vimana, Tianbosi gave him permission to pass on Jing Yuan's orders.

Taking advantage of the movement of the Cloud Cavalry's defenses near Luofu, Dan Lei initiated a jump and quietly left Luofu right under Xing Xiao's nose.

Soon, Dan Lei arrived at Ruan Meifa's coordinates and saw two planets, covered by giant vines and filled with Cthulhu-esque themes, floating in this space.

Upon seeing Dan Lei arrive, Ruan Mei had the planet lift her up with the vines clinging to the star and bring her to the hatch of Vimana.

Dan Lei opened the hatch, pulled Ruan Mei into his arms, kissed her twice, and then took out two Jianmu fruits, saying...

"Ruan Mei, this is the fruit of the Jianmu tree, please keep it safe."

By the way, use your phone to send a message to Black Tower about obtaining the Jianmu Fruit.

The characters "建木" (Jianmu) cannot appear on any of my communication devices.

　I need to focus on the event this afternoon, so only one update.

　　The Star Howl threatened the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship around the year 5700 of the Star Calendar.

　　It is now the year 8100 in the Star Calendar.

　　In other words, Xingxiao is at least 2400 years old.

　　The 2500 years of war experience I mentioned in the article is already an underestimation.
