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

Chapter 257 Immortal Boat Alliance General Meeting
Jing Yuan said that the temporary generals' meeting was ready, and Dan Lei naturally wouldn't let the marshal, the six generals, and the four dragon lords (Fanghu Fubo General Xuan Quan and Huyuan Jun are the same person, so they are not counted twice) wait for him.

So Dan Lei didn't change locations. He had Dan Heng act as a temporary bodyguard and found a place to sit down within the territory of the Ni Lin Yuan and entered the meeting room.

The Immortal Boat Alliance Generals' Meeting is, in terms of its scale, one of the highest-level meetings within the Immortal Boat Alliance.

Although this meeting, initiated by Dan Lei, was temporary and did not include any of the Ten Kings with particularly special power, it was still a crucial meeting that could determine the future direction of the Immortal Boat Alliance.

However, when Dan Lei was pulled into the meeting room by Jing Yuan, he was completely stunned.

This meeting reminded Danlei of his past life, when he worked at some startups and had meetings with sales representatives from other regions, and it was even worse.

It's practically like a 21st-century online streamer opening a conference room and letting fans speak on the microphone.

Forget about projecting images and seeing each other's faces and expressions; even the speech is AI-generated, with everyone speaking in the same voice, making it possible to identify who is speaking only by their names.

As soon as Dan Lei entered the meeting, General Yao Guang of Yuque Rongtao was the first to speak.
"Eh? Lord Yuyang has come in. I am Yuque Yaoguang. Let me guess, you must be wondering why the Immortal Boat Generals' Meeting is so simple, and even our voices cannot be transmitted in their original form."

Dan Lei said, "I have met General Rong Tao. However, the reason this meeting is like this is most likely because I am too far away. I am aware of that."

Dan Lei wasn't making things up. This wasn't the first time he'd used the Huang Zhong system; he could still hear the other person's voice during his previous one-way call with Jing Yuan.

If even the sound can't be reproduced now, there's only one possibility: this system has reached its limit.

Connecting all the various immortal ships that were already scattered across the country was no easy feat, and now Dan Lei was located even further outside the Amber King's walls.

In this situation, it's already quite an achievement that the meeting can even be held; there's really no way to criticize it further.

Moreover, this meeting must have put a lot of pressure on the Huangzhong system. Dan Lei had only exchanged a few words with Yao Guang when someone else interrupted them.

"General Rongtao, Lord Yuyang, the Generals' Meeting is not a place for idle chatter."

This meeting consumes a huge amount of the alliance's resources every second, so please keep your words concise and communicate quickly.

The Immortal Ship of Void Mausoleum does not have a Dragon Lord, and General Chenming can be said to be the one among all the generals who is least able to communicate with Chiming.

So, as soon as he (we can't tell if he's male or female by his voice, so we'll just call him "he") finished speaking, he was immediately rebuked.

General Fubo and Lord Huyuan, Xuanquan, spoke directly.

"Why is General Rong Tao's intention to enlighten Lord Yuyang about the current situation considered as idle chatter?"
General Chenming, do you have any objections to initiating this meeting?

There were questions about the initiation of this meeting, accusations that were neither accepted nor denied, so a reply was immediately given.
"This meeting has been approved by the Marshal's Office, and I have no objection to it."

However, the Yellow Bell System can only sustain such a resource-intensive meeting for a limited time, so let's keep it brief.

General Chenming has consistently emphasized the issue of resources, and the reason is actually quite simple.

Because this meeting was initiated around the Void Tomb Immortal Ship where the Marshal was located, the majority of the cost of the Void Tomb Immortal Ship would be consumed.

Every second this meeting lasts is draining Xu Ling's "blood," which is why he's in such a hurry.

Before Xuan Quan could finish speaking, Marshal Hua interrupted the pointless argument.

Hua said, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin the meeting."

Considering that Lord Yuyang and the other Dragon Lords are attending the Generals' Meeting for the first time, and that many people only know their names, it is important to take note of that.

So, let's all say a brief greeting first.

When the marshal spoke, no one objected. From generals to dragon lords, from Youwu to Bailu, they took turns giving brief self-introductions, which mainly consisted of stating their titles and names.

After everyone's names and titles had been announced, the meeting officially began. Marshal Hua got straight to the point.

“Lord Yuyang, we have all seen the information about the alliance that you entrusted General Shence to upload.”

However, the Alliance still has many questions about Avalon as described in the data.

So, could you address some of your questions beforehand for this meeting?

Since Marshal Hua spoke so politely, Dan Lei naturally wouldn't take advantage of it and respectfully replied...
"My lord, please ask. Except for some unspeakable secrets, I will tell you everything I know."

As soon as Dan Lei said this, You Wu, who was clearly playing the bad cop in the meeting, jumped out again and asked directly.
"What is an unspeakable secret? Does Lord Yuyang also have something to hide from the Marshal?"

Faced with the question of whether or not he had it, Dan Lei calmly replied...
"Things involving the secrets of immortal inheritance cannot be spoken of, and things involving the Star Gods must be kept secret and cannot be spoken of."

However, before answering the question, I can tell you clearly that among the many Star Gods, I have met face to face with Balance [Mutual] and Joy [Aha].

I also saw the Amber King in its true form up close.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, the generals of each immortal ship and the Dragon Lord, including Jing Yuan and Bai Lu, must have been in a state of utter shock.

Everyone believes that Dan Lei has met [Aha] and [Kripper], after all, they fought at the Subspace Crystal Wall, leaving the Interstellar Peace Company in a state of bittersweet pain.

However, Dan Lei has also seen the balance [mutual] aspect before; this is the first time it has been revealed.

It should be noted that the balance star god [Mutual] is rarely seen in the universe, and the number of times he glances at mortals is estimated to be only less than that of [Nothingness] IX, who never glances at them, and [Gluttony] Obros, who is currently only considered missing.

However, there is one thing that is generally acknowledged by all the major forces in the universe: anyone who is followed by the "mutual" forces, as long as they do not perish, will inevitably stir up trouble among all parties and become the epicenter of a major cosmic event.

Being able to meet with [Hu] face-to-face basically confirms that Danlei is a walking trigger for major events.

It is clear that Danlei has already demonstrated this quality.

So, among those present, the only person who wanted to ask Dan Lei, Bai Lu, was stopped by Jing Yuan, and no one questioned this point.

Finally, Hua broke the silence and spoke again.
"Understood, but I need to explain in advance."

"Some things, if they can't be explained, will affect the alliance's judgment of you, Lord Yuyang. Is that alright?"

Dan Lei has no problem with it. Since he wants to be the riddle solver, he should naturally bear the consequences, which is fair.

So Danlei politely replied
"No problem, Marshal, please ask."

After Dan Lei finished speaking, Marshal Hua did not ask any questions. Instead, General Rong Tao, who had greeted Dan Lei at the beginning, asked the first question.
"Lord Yuyang, I have a question about Avalon."

According to calculations performed by the Dharma Realm of Light in all directions, the planet exhibited a situation that was completely unpredictable.

My subsequent calculations also showed the same result for Lord Yuyang. Could Lord Yuyang offer some explanation for this situation?

Yao Guang's question was clearly just a way to get the ball rolling, simply to show others that Dan Lei was very mysterious, and the question itself wasn't particularly pointed.

Moreover, Danlei didn't mind that Yaoguang used the Ten Directions Light to reflect the Dharma Realm and calculate his own abilities.

If it could understand this clearly through calculation, the Black Tower wouldn't still be struggling to figure out its secret.

Therefore, Danlei did not deliberately hide anything from these two questions, and answered as follows:

"General Rong Tao, I am not very familiar with the operating principles of the Ten Directions Illuminating the Dharma Realm."

Therefore, we cannot calculate Avalon and myself from it; we can only speculate. In my view, the reason why the Ten Directions Radiant Realm cannot be calculated is due to the influence of the Star Gods.

The information I gave General Shence was only a brief introduction; many things were not explained in detail.

For example, the introduction states that Avalon is a planet blessed by the god of joy, Aha.

However, in reality, this blessing is the full power of opening up a joyful destiny.

This can be understood as the Emperor Bow Master opening up all of his Destiny Power to the Immortal Boat Alliance.

Chang Le Tianjun also opened up all the power of destiny to Avalon to support the planet's twelve covenants in binding everyone, including other star gods.

Therefore, the calculation of Avalon Star by the Ten Directions Light Reflecting the Dharma Realm is actually the calculation of the entire path of joy, which is naturally impossible to predict.

As for myself, I don't even know what the Balance Star God [Mutual] left on me.

If the ten directions of the radiant Dharma realm cannot calculate me, it is most likely due to the reason of "mutual" [interaction].

Dan Lei attributed all the reasons why the Ten Directions Light Reflecting the Dharma Realm could not be calculated to the Star God, and Yao Guang naturally had no way to refute it.

After all, it's normal that the Ten Directions Radiant Realm cannot calculate the target that the Star God directly interfered with, as the difference in power and level between the two sides is not just one or two levels.

Moreover, Danlei's words cannot be disproven at all, unless someone goes directly to Avalon and finds evidence that Danlei's description of the planet is a lie.

Therefore, Yao Guang could only sigh, "Yu Yang Jun, you are truly favored by the star gods," and then said nothing more.

Seeing that Yao Guang remained silent, the designated "bad cop" of this meeting had no choice but to jump out again and ask...

“Yu Yang Jun, you said in the data that this planet Avalon is a creation of the immortal descendants. Why would Chang Letian Jun open up all his power to the planet?”

Did you sell the planet to Chang Letianjun?
Or have you already joined the Pleasure Faction?

Upon hearing this, all the Dragon Lords were instantly ignited and began to refute him.

Xuanquan, as the head of the Vidyadhara clan, was the first to rebuke.
"General Chenming, please watch your words. This is a generals' meeting. Unfounded accusations will only make you appear to be targeting Lord Yuyang."

After Xuan Quan finished speaking, Yan Tingjun, who was on good terms with Dan Lei, directly mocked him.

"General Chenming, just say you're envious."

Yu Yangjun is now able to communicate face-to-face with the two Star Gods, which is indeed an enviable honor.

You don't need to be embarrassed. Not to mention you, I'm also very envious.

But you said Yu Yangjun joined the Pleasure faction?
I can tolerate such nonsense if it is brought up again, but I, Tianhuo, cannot.

"At that time, I wouldn't mind making a trip to Xuling and having a good spar with General Chenming."

After Yan Tingjun finished speaking, Kun Gangjun and Tian Fengjun also expressed that they were eager to see General Chenming's strength with their own Wisdom Divine Power.

Here, several dragon lords are taking advantage of the alliance's preferential treatment of the enlightened ones to bully the innocent.

When the general of the Immortal Ship sparred with the Dragon Lord of Wisdom, it was always the general who suffered the loss.

Since it was nominally an internal sparring match, the general could not possibly use his power.

If it were a normal sparring match that injured the Dragon Lord, that would be fine. But if the Dragon Lord was injured by using the Powerful Spirit, he could be charged with murdering the Dragon Lord, stripped of his general position, and thrown into the Imprisonment Prison.

Without the power of the spirit, the strength of the Immortal Boat General would not be much stronger than that of the Dragon Lord.

However, the Dragon Lord's Wisdom Divine Power can be used, so he naturally has an extra powerful move when fighting.

This principle is similar to the situation in the animated short film "Flying Light," where Jingyuan, without using the Divine Lord, was overwhelmed by Jingliu and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

After being thoroughly rebuked by several dragon lords, none of the other generals spoke up for him.

Marshal Hua is not in a position to speak here, because she wants to help Youwu and implies that she also thinks Danlei is considering joining the Pleasure faction.

This is detrimental to unity, and China must absolutely not show this tendency.

Hua remained silent, while the other generals and Yao Guang watched the show with detached amusement.

Feixiao, Jingyuan, and Huaiyan are all on good terms with Danlei, and the fact that they are not taking advantage of the situation is already a sign of respect for their colleagues.

As for Xuanquan, as the Wisdom Dragon Lord and General Fanghu, she would definitely be the first to "spar" with Youwu.

However, after being criticized in various ways, Danlei still pulled him back.

Whether or not he made today's statement, it's clear that the league has dumped all its sharp criticisms on Dan Lei onto him.

Since there are only six immortal ships left, and Xu Ling does not have a Dragon Lord, his offense against the Ming Clan will not affect his management of the immortal ships.

If other generals raise pointed questions, the members of the Ming clan at home will cause trouble after the meeting.

Therefore, Danlei still emphasizes the importance of manners.
"Seniors, please take a rest. I still need to answer General Chenming's question. We, the Chiming, are not a race that has betrayed the alliance."

By saying this, Danlei not only used the term "senior" to prove that he was on the same side as Chiming.

Secondly, it also tells others that he has no intention of breaking the alliance.

So, after Danlei finished speaking, the meeting fell silent, and everyone waited for Danlei to continue.

Seeing this, Dan Lei asked seriously, with a hint of grief and indignation, if there was anything unusual.

“General Chenming, I did not sell Avalon to [Aha]. As the only god of the planet, I govern all the rules.”

【Aha】 merely provides the power to enforce the rules; he does not have the authority to modify the rules beyond his own destiny and power.

Also, although I communicate with [Aha] frequently.

But I must make one point.

That is, I was the one who was actively entangled by [Aha], the kind that I couldn't shake off no matter what.

When I first arrived on Avalon, that guy [Aha] followed me and deliberately made my trials more difficult!
So, I took advantage of Aha's tendency to go to any lengths to have fun and made a deal with him.

These twelve covenants were established by me to tempt [Aha].

To ensure the absolute safety of Avalon, I made a deal with him.

I provide enough pleasure using the planetary rules, and he provides the power to keep everyone else in line with those rules.

After Dan Lei finished speaking, he indicated that he didn't even need to guess. He estimated that in the meeting, only Bai Lu, who didn't know what kind of star god [Aha] was, was still clueless. Everyone else must be pitying him.

There is a consensus among the major powers in the Star Iron Universe that being targeted by [Aha] is not a good thing.
