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

Chapter 416 Creating a Planet for "Play"

The issue of childbirth among the Vidyadharas is one of the most sensitive topics for them, and Jing Yuan dared not speak carelessly on this matter, so he could only echo Dan Lei's smile.
"That's natural. Although the reincarnation of the Vidyadhara is an immortal miracle, it is still a last resort. Fresh blood for the race is what the Vidyadhara craves most right now."

But where are your two children now? Do they require military protection?

Jing Yuan asked this purely on behalf of the alliance; he himself wasn't that curious.

However, as soon as this question was raised, the guards who were helping Danlei carry the gifts suddenly frowned, and they all silently prepared for battle.

Since Jing Yuan's actions are tantamount to actively searching for the location of the Chiming Treasure, if Dan Lei suddenly turns against him and tries to take down Jing Yuan, the Chiming present will not hesitate at all.

Fortunately, Danlei wasn't too concerned about the child's whereabouts and simply replied calmly.
"In the mother's secret laboratory, don't ask where exactly. To ensure my child's safety, I don't mind annihilating any outsiders who know the location."

Dan Lei spoke as if he were about to buy a piece of candy and chew it, not at all like he was threatening a general of the Immortal Boat.

However, Jingyuan understands Danlei's current attitude. A threat made out in the open is better than a smiling tiger trying to deal with things slowly afterward.

So Jingyuan took the initiative to apologize.

"Sorry, sorry, I still tend to think about having children from the perspective of the people of the Immortal Ship."

Indeed, you should keep your child hidden until they grow up.

Seeing that Jing Yuan had apologized, Dan Lei naturally wouldn't dwell on the previous issue, but instead proactively changed the subject.
"It's alright, but Jingyuan, you must think carefully about how Luofu will deal with the inevitable appearance of the Mother of Wisdom."

Aside from me, I have helped Danju regain her fertility through the gene serum created by Nguyen Mai.

I'll send you a copy of her self-test report later.

The gradual restoration of fertility among the Vidyadharas is inevitable; you need not doubt this.

Having said all that, Dan Lei already knew most of the information that Jing Yuan had come here to seek.

Asking about the specific ingredients of the gene serum here is obviously not appropriate, because the guards around me are already giving me strange looks, and the dragon masters have arrived. If I ask again, some of them might even risk exploding against me for the sake of Chiming's future.

Therefore, Jingyuan's subsequent itinerary in Chiming was a normal visitor's trip.

Dan Lei even led him and Fu Xuan to Bai Lu's place to tutor them in their studies.

Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan's trip to Chiming's camp was brief, and after they left, the two sat facing each other inside the star raft. Fu Xuan looked worried, while Jing Yuan remained calm.

After the star raft had traveled some distance from the Chiming camp, Fu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"General, although the current Chiming is celebrating, it is like soup about to boil under a layer of oil. If we are not careful, it will provoke the other two races in the alliance. What should we do?"

Fu Xuan's words made sense, but Jing Yuan simply replied calmly.

"Fu Qing, don't worry, we don't know how the alliance's upper echelons will arrange things yet."

However, in Luofu, it is sufficient to provide some preferential treatment to pregnant women of the Chiming clan and newborns from the earlier batches.

The women and children of the earliest Vidyadharas would certainly have been treated like precious treasures, held in their hands for fear of dropping them, and put in their mouths for fear of them melting.

They definitely won't be in the mood for anything else then.

All we need to do is designate a restricted area to house these women and children.

When the cycle of reproduction begins, it will be at least a thousand years from now. By then, I will most likely have already passed away, but Fu Qing might still be able to see it.

However, by then, Chi Ming's standing in the league will depend on how far Dan Lei progresses.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan immediately understood Jing Yuan's meaning and asked seriously.

"General, do you mean that the future of Chiming doesn't actually depend on their own thoughts, nor on the alliance's attitude, but on Danlei's future?"

Jing Yuan nodded and spoke frankly without any reservations.

"Yes, Chiming is thriving now, but this thriving is all thanks to Danlei alone."

If Danlei were to leave, the development of the Chiming Clan would be instantly interrupted.

Even if the Vidyads resume reproduction, the Alliance will purposefully curb their growth.

Even excluding Dan Lei, who could potentially become a star player, the difference in size between the two sides is too great.

The Immortal Boat Alliance can grant Chiming his current status, and naturally, it can take it back.

However, as long as Danlei is still around and continues to be strong.

Even if they are stuck at their current level for the rest of their lives, the Immortal Ship Alliance's concessions to the Ming Clan are inevitable.

Because no one knows when Dan Lei will ascend, and even if he never does, his family with his two geniuses is enough to make the league wary.

Fu Xuan understood Jing Yuan's meaning, but the feeling that things were completely out of his control was very uncomfortable for someone as skilled in divination as Fu Xuan.

But Fu Xuan understood that one could not control everything in the world, so he let out a long sigh and said...

"General, I understand, but I won't write a follow-up report."

"The preparations for the martial arts ceremony are almost complete, and I need to return to the Imperial Apothecary to properly divine the future of Luofu."

Fu Xuan's words were a prediction of Jing Yuan's manipulation to have him write a report on Chi Ming's trip.

Jing Yuan's calm expression vanished instantly, and he began to seriously manipulate Fu Xuan.
"Minister Fu, I have something to report..."

How Jing Yuan manipulated Fu Xuan into writing the report is not important. What is important is that the upper echelons of the alliance really did play the delaying tactic at Dan Lei's subsequent temporary general meeting.

First, both Zhu Ming and Yao Qing's ships reported encountering a powerful cosmic storm, requiring them to postpone their journey by a day.

However, according to Tabu's observations, there was no warning of a cosmic storm in their region of space at all; it was clear that they had received some kind of order and deliberately found an excuse to delay.

Upon hearing the news, Dan Lei simply smiled and made no other move.

If it's just a one-day delay, then let them delay. I bet the upper echelons of the alliance will be in an uproar over that day.

Sure enough, another day passed, and still no response came regarding the request for a temporary generals' meeting.

So Danlei took action, first going to greet Huaiyan and Feixiao, as he needed to gauge the attitudes of these two friends.

As Dan Lei was representing the Chiming Clan to welcome Huai Yan and Fei Xiao, the Shence Prefecture and the Tianbo Bureau naturally wouldn't object.

Dan Lei also saw Jing Yuan, whose eyes were bloodshot from barely sleeping all night while writing the report.

So while waiting for Zhu Ming and Yao Qing's boat, Dan Lei took the initiative to tease them.

“Jingyuan, I think that if all else fails, you should pass the position of general to Fu Taibu.”

"The way you are, I'm a little worried that one day you'll suddenly die, becoming the first general in the Immortal Boat Alliance to die suddenly at his workstation in a non-wartime era."

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Jing Yuan just wanted to grab Dan Lei by the collar and hurl insults at him, asking, "Who did you write that report for? Don't you have any self-awareness?"
However, in front of everyone, Jing Yuan could only say with a sleepy expression.
"If my resignation had been approved, I would have quit being a general years ago."

Speaking of which, the thing the Alliance regrets most right now is definitely taking down your acting general because of Mirror Stream and Blade's prison break. If only we hadn't taken you down back then…

Before Jing Yuan could finish speaking, Dan Lei interrupted him.

"If I hadn't been dismissed back then, the alliance would have seen its first general who was forced to resign."

In your opinion, which is more important to me: the freedom to gain experience or the position of general?

Dan Lei's question was answered by Jing Yuanmiao.
"Judging from what you've shown so far, it's clear that experience is important."

"So, tell me straight, is your training the same as that of an Immortal Star God, where completing the training directly grants you a return to the Immortal throne?"

When Jingyuan asked this question, everyone around him pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word.

However, Dan Lei, in a rather wicked way, muffled his voice and whispered a few words to Jing Yuan.

Then, Jing Yuan was shocked and incredulous, and his drowsiness vanished instantly.

Seeing this, the others felt an itch to scratch their heads.

Unfortunately, with Dan Lei and Jing Yuan present, no one else dared to make any unnecessary movements, lest they become a laughing stock in front of the two high-ranking leaders.

So, no matter how upset they were, they had to keep it to themselves, which amused Danlei.

Fortunately, Zhu Ming and Yao Qing's ships entered the port at this time, which saved them.

Soon, Huaiyan and Feixiao led their respective delegations off the spaceship.

The teams that Huaiyan and Feixiao led in this Luofu Martial Arts Ceremony were almost identical to those in the game.

It's just that the spirit sand arrived early, and Zhu Ming's team is one person short.

Dan Lei, now a hunting envoy, holds a position no lower than that of a general, so he stands side by side with Jing Yuan.

Huaiyan understood perfectly and immediately stood in front of Jingyuan to greet him.

In this way, Feixiao had no choice but to come to Danlei.

Fortunately, Feixiao has always been carefree, unconventional, and straightforward. She immediately said...

"Danlei, I heard you have a child?"

The gossip about Danlei and Feixiao had already spread throughout the alliance. Apart from the members of the Chiming people who thought that Feixiao, this fox-person, was a toad trying to eat swan meat, the other members of the Immortal Boat basically viewed the matter with a "gossip-watching" mentality.

Feixiao got straight to the point, causing Jingyuan and Huaiyan to freeze in their routine handshake. They didn't let go of each other's hands, their attention completely focused on Danlei and Feixiao.

Needless to say, everyone else except for Jiaoqiu, who showed a relieved expression, all went into a state of watching the drama unfold.

Dan Lei hadn't expected Fei Xiao to be so direct right from the start, so he could only honestly answer...

"Yes, a man and a woman, but it will be another two or three hundred years before they are actually born into this world."

Upon hearing this, Fei Xiao patted Dan Lei on the shoulder and nodded, saying...
"Sure, you must have only recently regained your fertility, and you've already had two children."

However, two is not enough, have more. Anyway, with your wealth, you can have as many children as you want and raise them with good health.

If Luofu feels they can't afford to raise them, then come to Yaoqing; I can afford to raise as many as they want.

Feixiao's words left Danlei speechless. It implied, "My child needs you to raise him? In what capacity do you raise him? As his stepmother?"
Of course, Jing Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out...
"General Tianji, please don't joke. No matter how poor Luofu is, it's not so poor that it has to send its people to other immortal ships to be raised."

Besides, Danlei still has Avalon Star; there's no way he would send his child to Yaoqing for foster care.

Jing Yuan's words were within his duty as General Luofu, so Fei Xiao wasn't angry. He simply waved his hand at Jing Yuan and said...
"Fine, fine, I won't poach your talent in front of you, Jingyuan."

Looking at Fei Xiao like this, Jing Yuan could only say, "You can't dig in secret. Dan Lei may be causing trouble, but he must be from Luofu."

Seeing that Jingyuan and Feixiao were about to start arguing, Huaiyan decisively interrupted the conversation and asked Danlei.
"Dan Lei, I heard you can now transform into a giant dragon that plays with planets like marbles. Let me see it sometime."

The dragons transformed by other dragon deities' wondrous dragon-transformation techniques were not this large.

Huaiyan's words were mostly flattering, but Danlei immediately thought that Huaiyan's words were like a pillow for someone who was sleepy—he couldn't be happier.

Dan Lei was still thinking about how to put more pressure on the alliance to get them to start a temporary generals meeting on their own initiative.

Now, the reason has been presented: the League hasn't seen its own Starforging ability yet, has it?

I can just build a planet myself to serve as the venue for the martial arts training ground.

The Competition Ship is far too stingy and doesn't suit Luofu's current status.

You said that the official Luofu team would be swamped if the venue was suddenly changed, but Dan Lei said that it was Jingyuan's problem, not his.

If he really refuses to change locations, he can bear the pressure himself.

Suddenly, Dan Lei flashed a bright smile and said to Huai Yan...

"If the old general wants to see it, I have no reason to refuse."

"In that case, I'll put on an impromptu performance for this welcome party. Please come outside with me."

After he finished speaking, a golden light flashed, and the welcoming team from Luofu, as well as the teams led by Huaiyan and Feixiao, were all swept up by a golden imaginary energy and brought to the universe.

Considering that there were no combat-capable civilian staff in the team on site who could not move around in the universe on their own, Danlei thoughtfully used imaginary energy to protect everyone and even created a tiered seating area for the audience.

By the time the Cloud Riders on duty realized what was happening, there was no one left on the dock, only two lonely spaceships docked there.

Outside of Luofu, Dan Lei once again transformed into a colossal dragon that blotted out the sky; the Luofu starship was still smaller than Dan Lei's palm.

The passing spaceships were terrified when they saw such a huge object appear in space.

Fortunately, upon closer inspection, I realized it was a dragon! To actually see a real dragon on my trip to Luofu made the ticket worthwhile.

In addition, Dan Lei intentionally used the power of imaginary numbers to control the movement of all the spaceships around Luo Fu to avoid his appearance causing traffic accidents, so no spaceship went out of control because of Dan Lei's appearance.

Seeing this, Huaiyan realized he was still too young and had forgotten that Danlei's ability to cause trouble was directly proportional to his strength.

In just over half a year since he arrived in Zhu Ming, he has caused chaos and disorder in the country, with more incidents occurring than in the previous decades.

However, having already spoken, Huaiyan couldn't very well say he didn't want to see the dragon anymore. He indicated that he had never seen such a large dragon before and would take the opportunity to study how big certain parts of the dragon's rear half were.

Unfortunately, Dan Lei also had a sense of shame. No matter how his body rolled, the golden imaginary energy cloud always enveloped his vital parts, just like how the Hulk, no matter how big he got, always wore his underwear.

Moreover, after flying around for a while, Dan Lei started working. He immediately turned on the speakerphone and said...
"Gentlemen, none of you have ever seen how powerful the power of immortal creation truly is."

I will once again reveal a glimpse of immortal power, so don't blink!
