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

Chapter 364 Pleasure Never Hates a Bigger Trouble

The appearance of [Aha] proves that he has never ignored the situation on Danlei's side.

After the Holy Grail of Memory devoured the Holy Grail of Order, Dan Lei himself didn't feel anything, but [Aha] jumped out on his own initiative.

Moreover, not only did he step forward himself, but he also attracted four star gods: [Fu Li], [Xi Pei], [Bo Shi Zun], and [Hu].

Of course, what appeared was actually a projection. If the true form of the Star God were to appear, the tiny Pinocchio could not contain so many great gods.

Even a minor collision with the destiny of the Star God is enough to give Pinocchio a run for its money.

The remnants of their fateful collision will eventually create a bunch of terrifying memory domain memes in Pinocchio.

Among the four star gods, the appearance of [Fu Li] and [Hu] is understandable to Dan Lei.

As your own angel investor.

Now that he has finally taken a concrete step toward becoming a Star God, they naturally want to come and see.

Keep in mind, this notice was issued by [Aha], and who knows if Danlei will be led astray by him.

Although merely devouring an embryo of the philosophy of order is not enough for Dan Lei to quickly ascend to the level of a Star God.

Although Dan Lei hadn't studied his current changes in detail, his instincts told him that going to such lengths to integrate the embryo of the philosophy of order into the Holy Grail memory seemed to have only increased his potential.

To use an imperfect analogy, Dan Lei essentially used a tool that increased his chances of becoming a Star God by 20%.

You asked about the possibility that Danlei could have become a Star God?
The probability of that is, of course, infinitely close to zero.

Even if other star gods are plotting behind the scenes, the chances of a mortal advancing to the level of a star god are still almost zero.

A prime example is the Star God of Procreation. Before [Taizyuros] ascended to godhood, how many insects experienced the same fate as it is completely unknown.

However, given the constant extinction of countless races throughout the universe, becoming the last member of a race is clearly not the key to ascending to the status of a Star God.

At this moment, Dan Lei devoured the embryo of the philosophy of order, increasing his chances of becoming a star god by 20%, but the result was still that he had an 80% chance of failing.

The appearance of 【浮黎】 is for recording and 【互】 is for evaluation, so the purpose of the remaining two is not hard to guess.

The philosophical embryo of order was swallowed by Danlei's memory spirit, but don't forget that this embryo actually originated from [Hipe].

In the game, based on the narration after Sunday's defeat, it can be concluded that the Order Noise within Hipe was severely damaged by the Pinocone incident, causing the power of Order to fall into slumber once again.

But the seeds of order that should have been destroyed have now been swallowed up.

Moreover, since [Aha] openly claims to be an immortal descendant who has devoured order, [Hipe] must come and see for himself.

If the immortals were to be resurrected in the future, carrying the power of order, they would first seek out the [Pharmacist], and secondly, they would seek out themselves.

It should be noted that [Hipe] was also a Star God born before the Universal Locust Plague. Even if she had never met an Immortal Star God, she should know how powerful this veteran Star God was.

The last one, [Erudite], goes without saying. A new Star God equals a new variable, and immortality is a very powerful concept.

It definitely needs to do more calculations while the possibility is still slim.

At this moment, many geniuses in the universe sensed that the calculations of the [Master of Broad Knowledge], which had been stalled for hundreds of Amber Ages, had resumed.

The four star gods each had their own thoughts and remained motionless.

Of all intelligent beings in Pinocene, only the Pleasure Fate Walkers dared to remain active.

However, they only dared to comment on the appearing star gods and didn't dare to hold any more wild parties.

Of course, the one under the most pressure on the scene was Dan Lei, who was being watched by all four Star Gods at the same time.

Even though his form was a projection, the Star Gods' gazes toward Dan Lei were real at this moment.

Moreover, this is not a glimpse, and it will not add any destiny power to Dan Lei.

Danlei said that [Aha] is a typical person who loves to watch the drama unfold.

Surrounded by four serious star gods, Dan Lei could only cautiously look left and right, not daring to make any big movements.

Black Tower once said that the gaze of the Star God carries energy that could burn Walter and Sunday to ashes.

Therefore, Danlei is currently under pressure from four such sources.

It's only because Dan Lei is physically strong enough, and the upper limit of his grid position has just been increased, otherwise his body would probably be cooked by now.

Fortunately, this ordeal didn't last long.

It's hard to say whether it's lucky or unlucky, but by some unfortunate twist of fate, Sand Gold, Potio, Firefly, and Metatron suddenly returned from another dimension.

All that could be seen was the black-clad, glowing water daffodil sword piercing Metatron's heart from behind, signifying the final victory.

Sand Gold was in its elusive Sand Gold form, but its clothes had large areas of charred marks, clearly indicating that it had been severely scorched by Metatron's pillar of fire.

However, among the three who fought against Metatron, the one with the most serious injuries was Potio. He had lost his left hand and left leg. Judging from the fracture, the missing parts were probably cut off by the intense heat of holy light.

Fortunately, most of his body is mechanical, so even if he gets injured here and it affects his main body, he can be restored to normal by replacing some parts.

As for Metatron, heaven knows what she went through.

At this point, not a single wing remained on its back; only the wing roots were still attached to its body.

Not only did he suffer several bullet wounds, but now his spiritual core has been shattered.

However, Danlei felt an unusually strong power of pleasure emanating from Yinghuo.

Clearly, Hanabi must have used some secret technique to enhance her power, plus Hotaru's body has a really high energy tolerance limit.

Therefore, they unleashed terrifying combat power in a short period of time, thus defeating Metatron.

Of course, after Sand Gold, Potio, and Firefly came out, they were not in the mood to announce their victory.

Suddenly appearing in front of the four star gods, Sand Gold and Potio were speechless.

Because of the influence of the Firefly personality, and because most of the pressure was on Danlei, Yinghuo was not timid and spoke directly to the mask floating next to Danlei.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you Star Gods having a team-building event?"

Firefly's words broke the silence of the Star Gods.

[Hipe] glanced at the firefly and suddenly realized that this form of life seemed to fit her own philosophy, so she glanced at the firefly again.

Then, as if some bug had occurred, Firefly's memory instantly became chaotic, splitting into two clumps again before returning to human form, and Firefly and Fireworks separated.

This was clearly Fu Li's doing, because Xi Pei glanced at him afterward, said nothing, and then disappeared.

Because [Hipper] has now confirmed that Danlei is still a long way from becoming a Star God.

Moreover, he did not follow the path of immortality he once took, and he seemed to pose no threat. He even helped clear the residual poison of the order within his body.

After [Hipe] disappeared, [Fuli] also left, stating that the memories here had already been recorded and that the rest was no longer his concern.

As [Fu Li] disappeared, [Hu] directly injected this phantom into Dan Lei's body.

Dan Lei felt his balanced destiny quality surge, instantly reaching the Commander level.

After the projection of [Bo Shi Zun] entered Dan Lei's body, it suddenly stopped calculating.

It seems that Danlei, who was severely affected by [mutual], no longer needed to make calculations.

The restart of 【博识尊】 came to an abrupt end after only a few minutes.

After the calculations stopped, [Bo Shi Zun] disappeared, leaving only [Aha] on the scene.

With the four proper Star Gods gone, leaving behind only the unorthodox Star God, Dan Lei felt much more relaxed. Looking at [Aha] circling around him, Dan Lei covered his head and asked...

"【Aha】, you just love watching the drama unfold, don't you?"

I didn't ascend to become a Star God, so what are you yelling about? You've even attracted other Star Gods here.

What good would it do you to roast me over a fire?

At this moment, Danlei was unaware that [Aha] had used his Star God power to broadcast to the entire universe. He thought that Aha had just shouted in Pinocchio and sent a message to the other Star Gods.

However, [Aha] didn't hide anything from Danlei; he laughed directly.
"Haha, the universe has been silent for too long. Joy is about making the universe lively."

Now the entire universe knows you've swallowed the embryo of the philosophy of order. Pleasure never shys away from trouble; you'll have to get used to it.

After saying that, [Aha] controlled the mask and immediately disappeared into the book box, giving Danlei no chance to complain.

Seeing that [Aha] had run away, Danlei realized he couldn't do anything about it and could only awkwardly say to the others...

“I said, I didn’t become a Star God at all, I wasn’t even a candidate.”

"At the same time, do you believe me that my combat power hasn't increased much?"

Everyone present shook their heads at Dan Lei's words, indicating that they didn't believe him at all.

Putting aside the matter of devouring the embryo of the philosophy of order, the projection of the Balanced Star God just entered your body directly. Who would believe you if you said you didn't improve?

Seeing this, Dan Lei could only change the subject and said to Sunday...
"Metatron's spirit core has been shattered. Even if he has a skill that can be used to continue, it won't last long."

Are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to her?

However, no sooner had Danlei finished speaking than Metatron said...

"A mere fatal wound is not enough to warrant my exit from the game."

However, there is no order here anymore, Master. Unfortunately, your plan seems to have failed.

And I failed to defeat the enemy.

By Sunday, it had become clear that with the embryo of the philosophy of order already devoured by Danlei, there was no way for order to turn the tide.

So he readily admitted defeat and said...
"I'm very sorry, I overestimated my ability to control the Dream of Order and the price I would have to pay."

Otherwise, Pinocchio's order wouldn't have been so easily disrupted.

Moreover, I seem to have a rather narrow view of the universe.

Seeing this, Metatron laughed.

"I see. It's good that your pursuit of justice and your desire for order haven't diminished, Master..."

Having said that, Metatron ceased using his powers to sustain himself and vanished in golden light.

Seeing this, Danlei could only turn to the robin and say...

"Robin, are you sure you don't want the Holy Grail of Order that I gave you? It's the culmination of Sunday's hard work."

The robin shook its head, held the Holy Grail to its chest, and laughed.
“I don’t think it’s very meaningful to maintain the current order in Pinocchio with the power of the Holy Grail, so I plan to keep it for the future just in case.”

The robin was clever; she knew that instead of using the Holy Grail now, she should keep it to negotiate with the company and the other four major factions.

This was given to him by Dan Lei, and to some extent it represents Dan Lei's attitude. Just now, based on the actions of the Star God of Joy [Aha], regardless of whether Dan Lei has become stronger or not, the major forces in the universe will definitely give him some face.

After all, Dan Lei might ascend to Star God at any time. If we don't give him face now, once he becomes a Star God, crushing a mortal force will be a piece of cake.

This includes behemoths like Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Seeing that the robin was unwilling to use the Holy Grail, Dan Lei didn't force him. He pointed to Sunday and said...

"Then Sunday is your responsibility."

I think you'll take good care of your brother.

After speaking, Dan Lei looked at Liu Ying and Artoria, who had urgently halted their battle and arrived inside the Grand Theater after receiving the message via the universe-wide broadcast, gestured for them to come over, and then walked to the Starry Sky Train crew and said...

"Alright, the problem of the Pinocchio Order is now resolved, and the Holy Grail no longer exists."

Artoria and Ying will soon be sent back the way they came.

However, I do not intend to keep the power of the Holy Grail for myself.

So, just as promised, Star and Firefly, as the final victors, speak your wishes.

After saying that, the power of miracles gathered in Dan Lei's hand, and a temporary golden cup appeared.

Xing and Ying exchanged a glance, and Ying stepped forward and said...

"Actually, I have gained a lot from this novel adventure."

Therefore, I am not going to rely on the Holy Grail to fulfill my wish.

I only wish to bring this memory back to my original self.

Danlei understood that bringing back Ying's memories was her wish. He nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned the Holy Grail towards the star and asked...

"And what about you?"

Xing had by now recovered from the shock of being watched by the Star Gods, and so he said in a playful manner...
"I want the Holy Grail to grant me three more wishes... no, a hundred wishes."

Xing knew that such a wish was not allowed; it was purely a joke.

However, Danlei was happy to play along with Xing, since the Holy Grail in his hand was just an ornament anyway, and the power of miracles was in his own Memory Spirit Holy Grail.

Now, whether the Holy Grail can grant a certain wish is entirely up to him, so Danlei is not in a hurry.

As soon as Xing finished speaking, the Holy Grail in Dan Lei's hand instantly split into a miniature version of one percent of its original size. Then Dan Lei smiled and said...
"Alright, now you can make a hundred wishes. However, for a single wish, it's probably only possible to have someone treat me to dinner tonight, or to receive a small, inexpensive gift."

Seeing that his plan had backfired, Xing's face fell, and he screamed in despair.
"No! I was going to use the Holy Grail's power to cure the Firefly's Entropy Loss Syndrome! Danlei, please change it back! I promise I'll never be naughty again!!"

Dan Lei showed no sympathy for Xing's wailing, and simply laughed.

"I see. It's a pity that what's done is done."

However, there is a remedy. Now, take these Holy Grails and make a sincere wish for the cure of Firefly's entropy disorder with each one. Make the wish a hundred times, and the combined power of the wishes should cure Firefly.

Of course, since you made a hundred wishes, the Holy Grail has shrunk, and its lifespan has shortened. Now you only have less than ten minutes to make your wishes.

Upon hearing this, Xing really didn't dare to be cheeky anymore. She flicked the hundred miniature Holy Grails in Dan Lei's hand and ran to the side to make a wish on them.

With that, the issue of making a wish with the Holy Grail is resolved. After Xing makes her wish, Danlei will use the power of miracles to heal Liuying.

However, in this way, Eriol's prophecy can be said to be both right and wrong.

Firefly did not ultimately win the Holy Grail War, but she did cure entropy disorder.

As for whether he would leave Star Core Hunter after being cured of Firefly Entropy Syndrome, Dan Lei is not worried.

The beautiful dream that Liuying had in Taiyi's Dream, although Sunday helped her to supplement the settings, the main content was still what Liuying longed for in her heart.

The Star Core Hunter has now become Firefly's home, and she will not easily abandon her family.

　There should be another 2000-word update tonight to make up for the missed one.

　　However, it may not be updated at 18:00.
