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

Chapter 271 Return to Silence: "Let's play a quiz-style hidden object game!"

Guiji's joke was vicious, but also very much in line with his identity.

Dan Lei even suspected that Gui Ji's joke was not malicious, because he probably didn't really think there was anything wrong with a life igniting itself to become fireworks and displaying destruction.

Therefore, Dan Lei shook his head and said frankly.

I can't appreciate your jokes.

I still hope that life can create more value while we are alive, rather than burning ourselves out and turning into instantaneous destruction.

Also, I came here just to ask one thing: is the foundation for alluvial gold here with you?

Gui Ji very honestly took out gold dust from behind his back and from the drawer, and said...

"If you're asking about this aventurine stone that contains the protective power of Krippar, it is indeed with me."

Seeing that Gui Ji admitted it so easily, Dan Lei frowned and asked...

"What deal did you make with Oswald that made you act on his behalf?"

To this question, Gui Ji simply shook his head left and right, and said with a smile in his voice.
"Wrong, I did not make a deal with him."

The man was very cautious; he knew the consequences of cooperating with me.

So, he was just reminding me that as long as I have this aventurine, the man behind you can be used by me to some extent.

After all, I could crush this kind of stone with my bare hands, and he couldn't afford such a price.

Dan Lei immediately believed Gui Ji's words because this style of doing things was very similar to what Oswaldo had done.

He would not hesitate to plunder gold dust, and the Great Lord of Extinction was naturally a target he could exploit.

Moreover, he would not leave himself any leverage to cooperate with the Great Lord of Annihilation.

As for how he did it, we can only go back and analyze the contact between Guiji and that pioneering fleet crew member frame by frame.

However, as soon as Guiji finished speaking, Shajin, the person involved, immediately shrugged and said in an unusually nonchalant manner.
"I say, are all the Great Lords of Annihilation this naive?"
Did you really think you could control my actions with just a rock?

Do you think I'd join you in destroying the world because of this stone?

The gold dust's question made Guiji shake his head again, stating bluntly...

"Destroy the world? No, no, no, this world is really interesting. After these few days of visits, I understand why the Star God of Joy opened his power to this world."

Can you imagine? A world that was in the midst of a war of gods twelve years ago, a world where sixteen races had been fighting each other for thousands of years.

Such a deep-seated blood feud had to come to an abrupt end because of an extraterrestrial tyrant.

Now, this tyrant has also brought extraterrestrial forces into this world where all faiths are being nurtured.

Destruction, immortality, abundance, reproduction, hunting, preservation, wisdom, gluttony, pleasure—the vast majority of destinies can be found in this world by corresponding intelligent races.

When all intelligent races find their destined path, only to discover they are bound to their planet by rigid rules, what happens next is truly something to look forward to.

I'm willing to maintain my manners, watch this planet revel with a sense of ritual, and then drown in the revelry.

Isn't it interesting that a joyous planet is destroyed after its revelry?
As for you, Mr. Sand Gold, all I need is for you to advance the carnival. For example, I need you to help those city builders expand the city-building ideology that our One God has already spread, so that they can use city walls to isolate other races that they do not welcome.

If you do that, I will return the foundation to you immediately.

Otherwise, unless Mr. Danlei uses his authority to snatch this piece of aventurine from me, I will crush it right now.

Gui Ji said this because he was certain that Dan Lei would not dare to openly steal the sand gold stone.

To put it bluntly, this competition is just like believers trying to please the gods; it's a competition to give "Aha" some amusement.

The intrigue and backstabbing in those competitions were part of the fun.

If Danlei uses his power to intimidate others and forcibly breaks the rules of the game, [Aha] will definitely cause trouble for Danlei in order to have more fun.

Then the two of them will face off.

Danlei and [Aha] have clashed, which is naturally something to celebrate for Guiji.

For a single piece of aventurine to produce such an effect, it's an absolute steal.

Dan Lei was also very clear about Gui Ji's thoughts at this moment; everything he had just said had only one purpose.

That's a landslide, turning a crisis that's still in its nascent stage and may emerge in the future into a situation that gives people the illusion that if you don't address the root cause now, you can forget about solving the problem in the future.

The information Xiao Huanlong brought out from Huanlong's memories included records of Guiji's fondness for observing the battlefield like a chess player, meticulously arranging the invasion of his legions from the rear.

Then, he would spend a long time orchestrating one vicious joke after another for his target, until finally, the theater had neither actors nor audience, just an empty shell, which was eventually flattened by the antimatter army he had summoned.

In some ways, the destructive aesthetics of returning to stillness are very similar to illusion.

Huanlong enjoys instigating internal conflicts within his targets, then igniting the flames of revenge and leading them to turn on each other.

The ultimate victor will lead the remaining, devastated army to descend from the sky, shattering the victor's hopes the moment they saw them.

For both, the antimatter legion is not a means of destroying targets, but rather an auxiliary tool.

They can be the instigators of the initial crisis, used to stir up instability within the target.

It can also be the final cleanup, completely destroying the target that has been toyed with until it has only its last breath after the Great Lord of Annihilation loses interest in the target.

In short, the purpose of manipulating people's hearts and minds is to destroy the target according to one's own plan.

Therefore, Gui Ji, who knew that Dan Lei could control all the intelligence on the planet, used an open strategy to force Dan Lei to make a choice.

It is about breaking the rules and using force to overcome the immediate crisis.

He could accept either participating in this game that risked the planet, as he had promised himself.

However, Danlei, as the only god, said that he could not be forced to make a choice by Guiji right away, at least not openly let him become the leader.

Moreover, Guiji seems to have underestimated the rules of Avalon.

The main storyline of the original game No Game No Life revolves around the back-and-forth between cheating and anti-cheating.

In games between major powers, the outcome is never determined by the game itself.

Intelligence, resources, the opponent's psychology, and cheating abilities—these are all points of contention.

Just as Danlei had told the train crew before, this planet clearly states that cheating in the game will result in losing, but it encourages cheating.

So, Dan Lei waved his hand, and the same gold dust as the one in Gui Ji's hand appeared everywhere in the room, including the same energy fluctuations.

Although Danlei, as the only god, cannot create a real gold dust stone with the power of pleasure, the power of pleasure itself has a strong ability to transform and forge.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to create a fake that has no protective power but whose appearance and internal structure completely mimic aventurine.

Then, Dan Lei said with a smile
“Gui Ji, I will not use my power to force you to take the gold dust from your hands.”

But I can use my own advantages and privileges to play a game with you.

Now, I declare that the aventurine in your hand has been swapped with one of the aventurines I created in your room.

I want to play a game with you. You win if you find the real aventurine among all the aventurine stones in the room.

I won't interfere with what you do with this aventurine when the time comes, and I'll even grant you the right to preach on the planet.

Believe me, if I really wanted to stop you from proselytizing, I would have plenty of ways to deal with your followers without breaking the rules.

For example, every ordinary person whose thinking changed after interacting with you, I found excuses to arrest and deal with them all. You know, the ideas of destruction you promote won't be accepted by normal people without some special methods.

The fact that the idea of ​​destruction spreads far less widely in the universe than ideas of preservation, abundance, and hunting is sufficient proof of this.

As for special methods, if you dare to use them, then this time you'll be violating [Aha]'s original intention of having fun.

[Aha] This guy definitely wouldn't find a bunch of people whose brains have been forcibly modified to only know how to destroy interesting.

At most, you can use special means to change the fate of a small number of travelers and annoy me; that won't accomplish anything significant.

As for your loss, all I'll take back today is the gold dust.

Your reminder today is very helpful; I need to go back and figure out a solution.

Of course, you can also refuse the game, betting that I didn't change the gold dust in your hand, and just crush it.

"Then I'll take all the aventurine from your room and leave."

Danlei has essentially thrown the problem back into silence.

The covenant stipulated that one should not plunder the property of others, and plunder here includes theft.

However, Danlei is not bound by the alliance, which is also written into the alliance.

In other words, Dan Lei did not break any rules.

It was just theft, but then they gave Guiji a chance to win back the gold dust, which was considered stirring up trouble.

【Aha】likes to cause trouble, and I don’t mind it at all.

The evidence is that as soon as Dan Lei finished speaking, the "Aha" mask on his waist popped out.

[Aha] temporarily possessed the above and said...
"Hahaha, what do I see? Someone wants to play a game with the Great Lord of Annihilation."

No, I have to broadcast this live. This is hilarious, the whole universe has to know.

Hey kid from Interstellar Peace, hurry up and call your entertainment department to cooperate with me.

"By the way, your phone's gone, Danlei, can you help me?"

【Aha】means to have Danlei make a phone for him that is exactly the same as the original Sand Gold phone.

With the limited anti-counterfeiting technology of Interstellar Peace Company, Joyful Destiny Power could easily create a phone that is even more realistic than the real thing.

Without further ado, Danlei conjured up a cell phone and tossed it to Shajin.

Knowing that things were out of his control, Sand Gold immediately called Interstellar Peace Entertainment and asked them to broadcast a live segment across all channels.

The Star God of Joy [Aha] demands that the entire universe witness the great battle between the Dragon Lord of Luofu and the Great Lord of Annihilation.

Anyone in charge of the Star Peace Entertainment company on the other side, as long as they're not completely out of their mind, would realize the value of this live stream. They immediately patted their chest and said they would get it done right away, and the live stream would start in five minutes.

Having come to this point, Guiji knew he had no choice; if he still refused to agree to the game, he would be disrespecting [Aha].

Although [Aha] didn't have much of a reputation to begin with, he just messed around with StarCraft Peace Entertainment.

However, if we don't give [Aha] face now, we can't expect that when Danlei targets us later, [Aha] will definitely join in the attack with a sense of schadenfreude.

Guiji knew that he didn't yet have the means to destroy Huanyou's destiny, and if he went head-to-head with [Aha] now, he would only be the one to suffer.

Moreover, Guiji was not sure whether Danlei had used his authority to exchange the gold dust in his possession.

On this planet, he has complete control over space and time, making it possible for him to move the stone away without anyone noticing.

Moreover, Dan Lei deliberately dispelled all the destructive power in the room except for the power within his own body while he was speaking.

Therefore, Guiji could only ask earnestly.
"Can't we change any rules?"

[Aha] directly answered this question for Danlei.

"Of course, but it has to be interesting, otherwise we have to do it according to Danlei's plan."

Upon hearing this, Gui Ji immediately laughed.
"If you want to have fun, let's have a quiz-based hidden object game."

Find three game assistants. Each assistant should have a set of questions prepared by you, [Aha]. If I answer more than half of them correctly, I win and get one chance to ask a question about the location of an item.

Of course, you can't ask where exactly it is, you can only ask if it's in XX place, and Danlei only needs to answer yes or no.

After three questions, I will enter the site to search for aventurine stones. If I find them, I win.

The support personnel are designated by you, [Aha].

At the same time, you will also act as a referee, but you only need to ensure that Danlei doesn't use his World Cup powers to cheat and doesn't give random answers.

Upon hearing this, [Aha] burst into laughter.

"Haha, good, good, this is interesting."

"Danlei, you don't have any objections, right?"

Danlei knew that Aha would do anything for fun, so he said...

"It's not a big problem. However, during the final search, I will place the fake gold dust in the room as a distraction at the final search site."

[Aha] naturally wouldn't refuse Danlei's small request.

So, the two agreed to play the game during the day tomorrow, and to make their own arrangements for tonight.

As for all the aventurine stones in the room, including the real one, Danlei packed them into a sack and took them with him.

After leaving the room of silence, [Aha] removed the mask and went to find the game NPCs.

After [Aha] left, Feixiao asked worriedly...

"Danlei, if you agree to this game, are you confident you can win?"

In response to this question, Dan Lei answered directly...
"Of course, there's no 100% certainty, but even if we lose, it's better than following the rhythm of Guiji."

This contest is just an appetizer in our game; the real main course is the subsequent battle of faith guidance.

He wanted to reveal the negative aspects of all destinies on this planet, in order to disrupt the civilization here and at the same time damage the reputation of these destinies in the universe.

Then I will show the positive side of everyone's destiny.

I was bound to face this game sooner or later, but the arrival of my final moments brought this moment forward by several hundred years.

However, it's better that it's early. There are fewer people on the planet now, which makes it easier to manage.

Let's take advantage of this and promote the power of destiny.

As for tomorrow's game, I'm more worried about the problems that [Aha] has prepared.

Given Aha's personality, these questions shouldn't be particularly difficult.

But most of them are sure to be fun and generate a lot of discussion.

I'm very worried that he'll expose a lot of negative information about Star God just to have some fun.

At that point, I'm afraid all the forces in the universe will be busy refuting the rumors.

"Ahaha would definitely love this chaos."
