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

Chapter 358 Balance is a troublemaker, pleasure is a troublemaker, so what does balance + pleasure equal?

Having confirmed Danlei's true intentions, the robin left without looking back.

Robin now confirms that Danlei is a seeker of truth, and he has his own path, just like Sunday, and he is not so easily influenced by others' words.

Of course, Danlei is a seeker of the Way who is relatively flexible in his principles; he did not deny order and harmony.

However, in order to "observe" the ebb and flow of fate and the clash of ideologies regarding fate, he provided assistance to both sides to a certain extent.

This behavior can already be described as being a troublemaker.

Therefore, Robin decisively gave up on persuading Danlei to help him.

After the robin left, Dan Lei went to the next person's dream, the Star Core Hunter, Firefly.

In the game, in order to retrieve the Star Train that had jumped out of Pinocene in time, Firefly chose to exit the dream by dying as soon as the train crew headed to the Pinocene Grand Theater.

Therefore, by the time of the final battle, Firefly should have already reunited with the Silver Wolf who was providing support from the outside, and was no longer in Pinocchio's synesthetic dream.

The story of Firefly returning to Pinocchio takes place after the final battle.

However, due to Dan Lei's interference, the game's storyline is now only of reference value.

Since Huang Quan wasn't expelled from Pinocchio, there wouldn't be a scene where she persuades Danheng and Pam to temporarily leave Pinocchio.

Therefore, Elio's script was clearly a re-prophecy under the premise of Dan Lei's interference.

Firefly got into a fight with Sunday in the lobby of the Pinocchio Grand Theatre. Even after losing, she didn't leave the dream and is now trapped in Taiyi's dream.

Liu Ying once said that she was someone who couldn't dream.

I'm quite curious about what kind of dream Danlei will have when the firefly, forcibly entered into a beautiful dream by the power of Taiyi's dream, is dreaming.

After entering Liu Ying's dream, Dan Lei discovered that her dream was an unknown interstellar civilization city, probably a collection of the best features of the cities she had visited during her missions.

Liu Ying is just an ordinary seventeen-year-old high school girl who enjoys a happy campus life with her best friend Xing every day.

As for her family situation, Danlei discovered that her parents did not exist at all, and she was set up as an orphan.

She and Xing were adopted from an orphanage run by Franz Kafka, a professional psychologist.

There's also a little girl named Silver Wolf in the orphanage who's addicted to video games.

The security guard is Ren, and he also keeps a black cat named Elio.

Okay, this orphanage is basically an urban version of a Star Core Hunter base.

However, there is no fighting or missions in this dream, only warm and cozy daily life.

Firefly said during the confrontation with Sunday

"Paradise is still a dream; to enter paradise means to abandon reality."

People should live for themselves; escapism is the nature of the weak, but I am not weak.

But when she actually entered the dream, she didn't resist like a robin, but instead experienced this hard-won dream with a sense of guilt.

Yes, Danlei only observed for a while before confirming that Liuying clearly knew it was a dream.

Humans cannot imagine what they do not know. From its birth until now, the firefly has basically never experienced the daily life of an ordinary person.

Such a complete and beautiful everyday dream must have been created by someone in her mind.

Liu Ying suddenly realized that she knew a lot of common knowledge that she shouldn't have known, and naturally knew that she was dreaming.

But she was unwilling to destroy the beauty before her, so she dreamt here with a sense of guilt.

Because Firefly couldn't attack Star Core Hunter's companions and Star, and didn't want to commit suicide.

So, in the stillness of the night in her dream, when Liu Ying, feeling guilty, went to the rooftop of the orphanage to look at the stars, Dan Lei appeared.

Liu Ying seemed completely unsurprised by Dan Lei's appearance, and simply smiled and said...
"Looks like it's time to enjoy the dream."

I now understand somewhat why people become so engrossed in their dreams.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei asked curiously.

"So, this beautiful dream is also in Elio's script? You're waiting for me to appear?"

Looking at the illusory sky, Liu Ying shook her head and said with a hint of self-mockery.

"This dream is not described in Elio's script."

The reason I'm still here is because of the weakness in my heart.

As a soldier, I seem to be asking for too much.

However, Elio's script does mention that you would bring me back into the fight.

Dan Lei, hearing Liu Ying's words, offered some words of advice.
"People are never props. As long as a person has feelings, there will be a vulnerable spot in their heart."

A person who has no weakness is essentially devoid of humanity.

Therefore, do not feel guilty about the weaknesses in your heart.

Confront your weaknesses, and then move forward with them.

Sleep here under this starlight. When you wake, you will leave this beautiful dream and face harsh reality once more.

Liu Ying drank Dan Lei's chicken soup without caring whether it was poisonous or not.

She gave a soft "hmm," lay down on the rooftop, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

It can only be said that being able to close her eyes and fall asleep must be a small obsession of Liuying, which is why she can fall asleep instantly in this beautiful dream.

Seeing this, Dan Lei didn't say anything. After leading Liu Ying out of the dream, he quietly left the room where she was.

Firefly is very strong and determined; she doesn't need me to say much to her.

Moreover, not long after Danlei left, an unknown person named Yizhe came and knocked on Liuying's door.

Dan Lei remembered that the Black Swan had said that the memory-keepers of Pinocchio helped those who resisted dreams to awaken, and it seemed that this was the one in front of him.

So Danlei stopped looking for the other people on the Starry Sky Train and followed Yihe and Liuying, soon arriving at the reception area of ​​the Daydream Hotel.

At this time, all the members who participated in the Sunday of the God-Slaying event in the game were present, plus three more: Firefly, Firework, and Sand Gold.

Of course, Walter, who missed the main storyline in the dream and skipped directly to the boss battle, harbored a lot of resentment towards Sunday and Danlei.

After Danlei sneaked into the hall, he heard Walter push up his glasses and say to Himeko in front of him...
"I see. Danlei deliberately didn't explain clearly, making us think that you would die as soon as that treasure was used."

What a cruel joke. I'm starting to understand why he was chosen by the God of Pleasure.

However, Danlei was just joking. Sunday's behavior was trampling on the watchmaker's ideals. Himeko, you're right. We haven't reached the point of desperation and retreat yet. We should find a way to fight back.

He confused me about the accounts on Sunday, and I haven't settled the score with him yet.

Walter, who was sitting at the bar next to him watching others discuss the fireworks of Taiyi's Dream, naturally heard it and laughed directly.
"If you ask me, Lezi Shen's interest in Dan Lei isn't because he can also make nasty jokes."

Don't forget, Danlei is a balanced destiny walker.

You all know what kind of people those arbitrators are.

In their pursuit of so-called equilibrium, the problem they encounter is always the same: if there's too much flour, add water; if there's too much water, add flour.

Therefore, they might side with one faction today to suppress the other, and then go directly to help the opposing camp tomorrow.

It highlights a repetitive back-and-forth movement.

I heard a backstory in the simulated memories of Avalon. In an unknown universe, there is a group of people called Super Beast Warriors who maintain the balance of the universe.

Their way of maintaining the balance of the universe is that if there are too many wolves and too few sheep on a grassland, they help the sheep build fences to kill the wolves.

But with more sheep and fewer wolves, they went to help the wolf pack recover its population.

This ultimately forms a historical cycle in which what has already happened will happen again, and what has already been done will be done again.

Therefore, I do not deny that those who live a life of pleasure might disrupt the universe for the sake of fun.

But those who follow a balanced destiny aren't much better off.

I don’t know what balance means to Danlei, but he must feel that the future of the universe is too unbalanced and wants to break the solidification through change.

The resurrection of the Order of Fate is itself a change, and it also sets a precedent for a Star God to win a resurrection match after death.

Danlei now understands both balance and joy in his destiny; I can't even imagine how chaotic his thinking is.

Hei Danlei's meaning behind the words "fireworks" was very clear.

She was completely immersed in the role, repeatedly emphasizing in front of everyone that Dan Lei was the culprit who had turned Pinocchio into what it is today.

Of course, she had her own reasons for not giving up in Taiyi's Dream this time and taking the initiative to step onto the stage.

Putting everything else aside, Hanabi genuinely wanted to personally send Metatron away.

Kurumi and Hanabi are too compatible. The friend they finally made is gone. Hanabi is very angry, so some people are going to be unlucky.

The others didn't pay much attention to what Hanabi Kurodan said.

The robin had already told others about Danlei's initiative in waking him up.

It was also clarified that Danlei's assistance to Order was to collect data on the resurrection process of the Order Star God.

Moreover, his aim was an overt scheme, and the robin certainly couldn't stand by and watch Pinocchio fall into the hands of the order.

But the robin's strength was too small on its own, and at this point, the only way to resist was to seek help from other forces.

After all, Dan Lei argued that this was a conflict of ideologies and not a matter of right and wrong, and therefore refused to participate in the confrontation between everyone and the order.

Since both sides feared that Danlei would join the other's camp to fight against them, Danlei could use any lame excuse as long as neither side actually participated in the war.

Of course, breaking Dan Lei's stalemate is also very simple: both sides just need to join forces to drive Dan Lei out.

But that's impossible. As long as Sunday and Robin have room to talk, the brother and sister won't end up fighting.

So, ignoring Hanabi's evaluation of Danlei, Black Swan, seeing that everyone who was supposed to be in the hall had arrived, skipped the topic and spoke up.

"Alright, now that everyone in Pinocchio who can regain consciousness is here, let's brainstorm how to resolve Pinocchio's Taiyi Dream."

After the black swan finished speaking, the robin immediately added information.
"I just synchronized my perception with the source of the Dream of Taiyi."

I'm certain that Dominic, the wish of the [Qi Xiang Choir], has been summoned by his brother.

The power of order is attached to the embodiment of "shared desire," and the accumulated desire of countless people in Pinocchio to "sleep in a dream" makes this dream indestructible.

In other words, to break free from the dream of Taiyi, the first thing we need to do is wake people up from their dream.

At this time, no one knew that Sunday had summoned the Dominix of Wishes, because this time, the train crew was defeated by Metatron without even seeing the Dominix of Wishes.

Therefore, this news put immense pressure on everyone.

Because a single Envoy-level Metatron is already troublesome enough, anyone present except Huang Quan would have to make a huge sacrifice if they wanted to entangle her with numbers.

Now, Sunday has summoned another messenger and attached itself to it.

Two enemy commanders, and with only our small force, charging in to fight them would be suicide.

Upon hearing this, Potio angrily kicked the table and vented his frustration.
"His darling, Pinocchio has so many motives."

Have all the messengers of the universe come to Pinocchio for a gathering?

Seeing that everyone's morale plummeted upon hearing that there were two clearly envoy-level enemies on the other side, Huang Quan directly said...
"Actually, the Commander may not be as invincible as you all imagine."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. The person in front of them was also a Commander, but a Void Commander who shouldn't exist in theory. Perhaps she really had a solution.

However, Huang Quan truly has a solution, she stated frankly.

"As is well known, the power of the messenger comes directly from destiny itself, and is generally bestowed by the star god."

However, the God of Order has not been resurrected, so the power of order here is, in principle, still separated from the path of harmony.

Therefore, all that is needed is to weaken the order of Pinocene, and the power that Sunday and Metatron are blessed will be greatly reduced.

It could even weaken them to below the Commander level.

After Huang Quan finished speaking, Xing Ye, with his intelligence kicking in, chimed in in agreement.

"Huang Quan is right, I participated in the Genius Black Tower's simulated universe project."

Inside, I experienced a simulation of a global locust plague.

According to the analysis of the simulated universe, the reason why the Order Star God [Taiyi] was devoured by the Harmonious Star God [Xipei] in the later stages of the Universal Locust Plague was because the Universal Locust Plague broke the order maintained by the Order Star God in the universe.

Even the Star God of Order experiences a significant drop in power when the order he created is broken; Sunday is naturally no exception.

The genius's research results are quite convincing, Sand Gold said, stroking his chin.
"But now the problem is back to square one; we need to break free from the dream."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Because the problem has created a vicious cycle, breaking the dream requires weakening the power of order of Sunday and Metatron, but weakening the power of order requires breaking the dream.

Fortunately, the robin remembered what Danlei had told him about the fairness of order and harmonious forces.

The robin had a sudden inspiration and shouted loudly.
"Actually, there is another way to shake the dream of Taiyi."

That means finding a group of people like us to come over.

When the power of order mixes with the path of harmony, it creates discord.

As the power of order grows stronger, so too does the noise, which can even affect the use of the Harmonious Fate Path.

Now, the reverse is also true.

The dream of Taiyi will crumble if a large group of people with strong free will are gathered.

As the robin finished speaking, Huang Quan continued,
"As long as the power of order falters, I am confident that I can cleave the dream with a single sword strike without contaminating Pinocene."

At that time, the power of nothingness will awaken the fear in everyone's hearts, driving them to rebirth out of the will to survive, and the dream of Taiyi will crumble on its own.

　Huang Quan: I believe you. But before we officially set off, there's something else I need to tell you.

　　Huang Quan: You should know this: In the boundless dream, the reason we were able to find you and find the key to breaking the deadlock was all thanks to the dedication and effort of one person...

　　Huang Quan: Miss Liu Ying, it was she who woke up early from her dream, found the train amidst the starry sky, and brought us everything about the remnants of "Order." Perhaps the script played a part in this, but the price...

　　Huang Quan: You know, as an illegal immigrant, her way of entering dreams is different from ours. Without the dream-entry device in the hotel, without the help of her family, the only way she can wake up from a dream is... a real "death".

　　Huang Quan's words prove that in the story, she asked the train to jump away from Pinocchio, and Dan Heng finally accepted.

　　However, after leaping out, although he lost the influence of the dream, Huang Quan was still unable to determine that there was order behind Pinocchio.

　　Until Firefly came looking for me based on the script.
