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

Chapter 270 The Vicious Joke of Return to Silence

Upon hearing Danlei recount his past with jade, Sand Gold smiled helplessly.

"Honestly, how could she tell you about this? This is a past I don't want to look back on."

Jade, of course, didn't tell Danlei any of this, but given Sand Gold's emotional intelligence, it was impossible for him to verify this with Jade. Therefore, Danlei could continue to deceive him.
"Perhaps she thinks letting me know some of your embarrassing past will deepen our friendship?"

Sand Gold had already dressed and spread his hands helplessly, saying...
"That's how you deepen friendships by sharing each other's embarrassing pasts, right? There's no such thing as one-sided knowledge of each other's embarrassing pasts."

Sandstone's words make sense, but Danlei said that his dark history was so serious that he would want to be silenced, so it was better for others not to know.

So he decisively pressed the question again.

"Alright, stop joking."

"Let's get down to business. What exactly did you discover?"

Seeing Danlei's repeated questioning, Shajin stopped keeping him in suspense and said directly...

"Dan Lei, you can understand the world through planetary access, so it must have been a long time since you really went down to the bottom and understood the undercurrents of this planet."

The world is like a high-end coffee bean; everything looks normal on the outside, but you can't see how many bugs are inside unless you dig them open and look closely.

To put it simply, during the few days I was looking for construction workers, I learned quite a bit about underground organizations.

These organizations are now being united by some unknown group.

This time, I think I was set up by the group behind those organizations.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked...
"So, you've lost your own foundation too, haven't you?"

The gold nugget was also openly discussed without any attempt to conceal its value.

"Yes, I don't even have any clothes left, so naturally the foundation is gone too."

Dan Lei was speechless at what Sand Gold said.

The Stonehearts' foundation stones couldn't be stored in a personal space like the Destiny Walker's weapons, which is why Sand Gold had to go to great lengths to mix them into the gems in his suitcase when he went to Pinocchio.

Back then, Danlei also stored it in other spaces through a special method called the Conceptual Mystic Bag.

So now that the gold dust has been lost, it naturally includes his foundation.

Moreover, Dan Lei realized that Gui Ji was nearby, and if this foundation stone were in his hands, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause.

Without saying a word, Danlei kicked open the door of the casino on the street where Sand Gold was located and barged in.

This is a typical underground casino; apart from the gambling tables, the rest of the room is very dark.

The filthy environment, coupled with various suffocating smells, was nauseating.

So, Dan Lei cast a light spell into the room, then conjured a gust of wind that sucked all the stench out, making the air a little more palatable. He then asked...
"Who's in charge here?"

Dan Lei's actions were tantamount to throwing a flashbang into a dimly lit room and letting in the cold air from outside.

So the gamblers inside were instantly blinded by the lighting, and then sneezed violently from the cold.

After all, the thugs and gamblers who hang out here are basically not the kind of people who have survived a long and difficult journey; the only ones who are physically strong are a few security guards.

However, while these people weren't very skilled with their hands, their mouths were unusually foul, and after being teased like this, they were all cursing Dan Lei's ancestors.

Unfortunately, Danlei had no idea how many years it would take for the Vidyadhara egg he had possessed to have human parents, let alone their names.

Therefore, Dan Lei directly unleashed the power of the One God, speaking with unparalleled clarity into everyone's minds.

"Quiet!"

On Avalon, Dan Lei could completely control his words, instantly silencing everyone.

Moreover, by this time many people had recovered their senses and could see clearly who had come in.

Danlei is considered "somewhat famous" on Avalon. Even among humans who did not immigrate from the continent of Lucia, it is not impossible for them not to know who their own unique god is.

During the twelve years that Danley was away, in order to prevent the lower classes from recognizing only the country and not God after several generations, Morgan demanded that every country build a square dedicated to a single God in every city.

And a huge statue of Danlei was erected in the center of the square.

Therefore, upon seeing the sudden descent of the One God, most of those present had only one thought.

"Did the shop owner break some heavenly law? The One and Only God came to block the door!!"

Yes, nobody here thinks Danlei is here to cause them trouble.

Because everyone knows that with his weight of just over 100 pounds, there's no need to alarm the One God.

Seeing that everyone present was stunned and speechless, Dan Lei asked again.
"I said, who's in charge here?"

Upon hearing Dan Lei's question, everyone acted in unison, pointing at a middle-aged man.

The man's face was extremely ugly, because he had already seen the sand gold following behind Dan Lei.

Therefore, with a middle-aged man's fairly normal intelligence, he could naturally guess that he had kicked a hornet's nest earlier. No wonder this person's clothes were so luxurious; he must be a subordinate of the One God.

At this moment, Dan Lei only needed to glance at the middle-aged man to understand his information.

This man is a habitual criminal who runs a gang. Twelve years ago, during the War of the Gods, he ran an extortion squad outside Avalon City, bullying men and women.

Then he was given a good lesson by the patrol guards of Avalon City, and was arrested and thrown into the modified mine to work as a miner.

Later, Danlei became the only god, and Avalon became the court of judgment. He then granted a general amnesty, releasing all criminals and allowing them to return to their respective races to build their nations.

As a result, this guy, even in middle age, couldn't change his ways and started a gang again using the alliance.

However, this time he learned his lesson and learned to bully people by exploiting the rules. In addition, he bribed the management of this area, which is why he has survived until now.

Moreover, he didn't know until he scanned the area that Dan Lei was actually a joyful destiny traveler.

Although his skill level is very low, he is a true traveler on his own destiny.

So, Dan Lei said directly

“You’re a habitual offender with even a modicum of sense; you’re not the mastermind behind this.”

Come on, take me there…

Dan Lei was speaking when the man suddenly pulled out a bunch of gunpowder bombs, imbued them with the power of his destiny, and shouted...

"Eternal Dragon! Witness the instantaneous destruction you cannot comprehend!!"

After saying that, he grabbed the bomb and rushed towards himself, trying to blow himself into fireworks.

Dan Lei could sense that he didn't expect the gunpowder in his arms to do anything to him, and he also knew that if it exploded here, at most it would damage the house, but the people inside would be protected by the planet's rules and no one would be injured.

But his goal was to blow Dan Lei's face, just as he said, to show Dan Lei what instantaneous destruction was.

Such people are known as "Fireworks Masters" in the Star Iron Universe.

The Fireworks Masters embody both joy and destructive negativity. They believe that destruction is the nature of intelligent life, and even a three-year-old can derive pleasure from it. Therefore, in pursuit of this pleasure, they create all sorts of dazzling explosions with the intention of destroying everything.

Extreme "fireworks masters" might even attempt to blow up the star in the star system where their planet resides, just to make everyone open their eyes wide, remember this dazzling moment, and then end their lives.

However, on Avalon, even if someone really wants to die, it's up to Danlei to decide.

The man's pleasurable energy was instantly suppressed, and the bomb became a dud.

Then Yun Li slammed the man against the wall with an iron rod, like hitting a ping-pong ball.

However, because Yun Li's force was very precise, he was not injured. He only triggered the rules of mutual fighting within the allowed range, and his body was a little sore.

Seeing this, Dan Lei pointed at the gold dust with an icy expression and asked...
Where did you put his things?

Dan Lei kept asking the casino owner, instead of going directly to Gui Ji, because if he went directly to Gui Ji, Gui Ji could deny everything.

To put it bluntly, if he insists that he is only temporarily staying here, Danlei can't do anything about it.

Even if Danlei uses his power to prove that Guiji is the actual controller of this casino, he can't do anything about it.

On a planet where disputes are resolved through games/competitions, gambling is an officially permitted activity.

In a world where even the right to freedom can be wagered, how could wagering money be illegal?

Therefore, to cause trouble for Guiji, it is necessary to prove that the foundation of the gold deposits has fallen into its hands, because Danlei can define this as a diplomatic incident.

Dan Lei used his telepathic abilities to ask the question, and the boss couldn't lie, so he could only reluctantly say...

“I gave it to my mentor. He introduced me to a new world, so I gave it to him because he wanted it.”

Dan Lei wanted to hear those words, so he threw the Pleasure Walker, who had already become a "Fireworks Master," into the dungeon beneath Avalon City, which had an array that isolated imaginary energy. Then he led the other three to find Gui Ji.

At this point, Sha Jin realized who had tricked him, so he reminded Dan Lei...
"Danlei, I suspect Guiji deliberately set me up to lure you out for a meeting. Are you sure you want to see him now?"

Regarding the reminder about placer gold, Danlei said directly...
"You're only half right. Gui Ji does want to lure me out, but he has many options, and causing trouble for you is obviously not the best choice."

I've figured out why he's causing you trouble.

I used my powers to investigate the people Guiji has been in contact with these past few days. Besides the thugs and ruffians you mentioned, there are also people from the Oswaldo Expeditionary Fleet.

Oswaldo is really unfair; he treats me like a fool.

He found a member who had a grudge against the Antimatter Legion to cause trouble for Guiji, saying that this was his only chance in his life to defeat the Great Lord of Annihilation.

Then this crew member, whose entire family had apparently died at the hands of the Antimatter Legion, went to challenge Guiji to a duel.

The duel between the two was actually uneventful, but Gui Ji utterly destroyed the crew member's spirit, leaving him mentally unstable and abandoned by Oswaldo.

However, Oswaldo clearly used some means to reach a deal with Guiji.

After his duel with that crew member, he came straight to cause you trouble.

Upon hearing this, Sand Gold frowned deeply, then slowly said...

"You're probably also thinking that there's no real evidence that Oswaldo and Guiji made a deal, right?"

Dan Lei nodded and spoke the truth.
"Yes, I suspect it's some kind of spiritual communication. Could my planetary powers read out all the thoughts in a person's mind?"

This is not a realm of pleasure, but of memory.

Even with the infinite blessing of Joyful Fate energy, I still couldn't read the memories of the Great Lord of Annihilation remotely using my own abilities.

Forcibly reading it would be no different from forcibly attacking Guiji, which violates my agreement with [Aha].

Or rather, this is exactly the kind of scene that [Aha] wanted to see.

I have to cooperate and bring the play to a conclusion.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Yun Li, whose mind wasn't quite quick to grasp the concept, immediately retorted.
"Is communicating with Chang Le Tian Jun really this complicated?"

No wonder Grandpa didn't want to come; just listening to what you all said made my head spin.

Upon hearing Yun Li's complaint, Fei Xiao immediately patted her head and said...
"Some things, you'll understand once you've experienced them more."

Also, I'll teach you a method.

If you are strong enough, whatever reasoning you want to give to others, they will cooperate with you in giving the same reasoning.

That's how Dan Lei is now. He can only continue to play along with these scourges of the universe in this game sponsored by Chang Le Tian Jun.

Because compared to having all the power of the Joyful Fate Path fully unlocked, playing along is nothing at all.

Just as Fei Xiao was teaching Yun Li, leaving her with a confused expression that seemed to understand but not quite, Dan Lei had already led everyone to the entrance of Gui Ji's residence.

As soon as Dan Lei reached the door, it opened automatically, and Gui Ji's voice came from inside.
"Gentlemen, please come in and have a seat."

My temporary accommodation is rather basic, please excuse me.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei naturally led the way into Gui Ji's room.

Then, Danlei saw that the room was filled with all kinds of hats and magical items, as if he had entered a collector's home.

At this moment, Gui Ji was wearing a bear-patterned pajama and had a steaming towel hanging around his neck, as if he had just taken a bath and washed up.

The entire "person" didn't look like the Great Ruler of Annihilation at all. If it weren't for the fact that his head was just a hand, he would look like a middle-aged successful person resting at home.

After Dan Lei and the others came in, Gui Ji immediately invited everyone to sit down.

However, Dan Lei only glanced at the sofa and realized that it was almost hollow. If you sat down, you would definitely fall right into the sofa frame.

This childish prank left Dan Lei speechless. With a wave of his hand, he repaired the sofa, making it a normal sofa, before inviting everyone to sit down and saying...
"Guiji, if you're really so poor that you can't even afford a normal sofa, you can make a few stools out of wood."

After all, the Great Lord of Annihilation didn't have the habit of spending money on things, so everyone could understand that he didn't have any money on him.

Gui Ji ignored Dan Lei's sarcastic remarks and said directly...
"That's a stereotype. As far as I know, several Extinction companies have secret accounts with Interstellar Peace Corporation, and I have one myself."

The only difference is that none of these accounts were registered under our own names.

Interstellar Peace Corporation was born out of money, and it will eventually be destroyed by money. Don't you find that interesting?

Oh, right, you saw the joke I made for you, didn't you?

Unfortunately, that man still didn't grasp the true meaning of destroying pleasure, otherwise he wouldn't have failed at the last minute.

　The introduction of "Fireworks Master" is in the Differential Universe Human Comedy.

　　The equations inside are mostly subdivided professions for oddballs on various destinies.

　　Humans are complex; very few people have only one destiny.

　　However, when two destinies are aligned, and both are negative, these people often manage to pull off some outrageous actions that will make them famous throughout the universe.

　　By the way, someone who's a huge fan of fireworks and exploding fireworks could actually be considered a "fireworks master," although her primary source of pleasure isn't that.
