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

Chapter 422 On Immortality

After asking a series of questions, Danlei felt a little sorry for him.

Clearly, just like before, because Xu Ling lacked a large-scale force of Ming, he was once again pushed forward to be the alliance's mouthpiece.

These are questions that the league's top brass clearly wants to know, but it's really not appropriate to ask the marshal directly, so they have to ask the general himself.

Therefore, Danlei did not immediately confront him directly, but instead answered his questions one by one.

"Whether or not there is a general, I will answer your questions one by one."

Firstly, the purpose of the divine objects that are abundant and multiply is indeed to extract a certain concentration of destiny power.

However, to extract this concentration through the power of destiny, one must at least be a Commander.

Moreover, these essential energies of destiny lack personal imprints, so they are best extracted through various abundant and fertile divine objects.

Of course, the difficulty of refining different materials varies. Substances like trees, which are closer to biological materials, are easier to refine, while for rocks, it depends on whether they are energy minerals.

To refine something like the rings of Avalon, one would probably need to first use the power of a Star God to shatter it into fragments, then remove the contamination from the Star God's power before refining it. The difficulty is beyond imagination.

As for why the two forces of abundance and reproduction need to be supplemented.

First of all, it is a consensus that the path of reproduction was torn from the path of immortality.

As for the path of abundance, as I approach immortality step by step, I am quite certain that if I follow the old path of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons of the Heavenly Abyss, abundance will inevitably be devoured during ascension, or it will be devoured in order to ascend.

The concept of immortality clearly includes abundance, and while I have no proof of this destiny, it is very likely to have been torn out from immortality.

Therefore, to compensate for deficiencies in reproductive health, both fertility and procreation are indispensable. The former ensures that the mother's body, which nurtures life, does not easily perish due to the child, while the latter ensures the restoration of fertility.

Dan Lei's explanation is irrefutable, because Dan Lei's understanding of immortality is now unquestionable.

The reason this generals' meeting was not delayed any longer was because Dan Lei said he could rebuild Tang Hai, which made the upper echelons of the Immortal Boat Alliance a little panicked.

Although the Immortal Boat Alliance is not necessarily inseparable from Chiming.

If Chiming were to leave like this, the strength of the Immortal Boat Alliance would inevitably decline, and without Danlei, they would truly be reduced to a dead end by hunting.

Moreover, Marshal Hua clearly grasped the blind spot in Dan Lei's words and directly asked...

"Lord Yuyang, regarding what you just said about the old path of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons of Tianyuan, can I interpret it as the path you are currently taking not being the original path to immortality?"

This is an extremely sensitive issue, involving the path to becoming a Star God, and is absolutely top secret.

Before Dan Lei could reply after Hua finished asking, Hu Yuanjun Xuanquan interrupted without any politeness.
"Marshal, you have misspoke. Your question is an attempt to pry into the secrets of us immortal descendants."

No sooner had Xuan Quan finished speaking than General Rong Tao and Yao Guang immediately retorted.

"General Fubo, you are mistaken. As far as I know, the so-called immortal inheritance of the Chiming clan is the Dragon Lord's inheritance."

Although Yu Yangjun's current lineage is an immortal lineage, it is by no means a lineage of enlightenment, and he has clearly forged his own path.

The fact that Yu Yangjun can devour the embryo of the philosophy of order proves that he already possesses some of the qualities of a star god.

These have nothing to do with the Vidyadhara clan. After my divination day and night, I can only come to one conclusion about Lord Yuyang's current achievements.

That is, as long as Yu Yangjun is born into a dragon bloodline and can obtain the original immortal inheritance, his achievements today will not change.

"Since you uphold the truth, you shouldn't try to glorify yourselves."

Yao Guang was telling the truth, but it was precisely because it was the truth that it was so devastating.

Xuan Quan and the other dragon lords were clearly being mocked, and even Bai Lu couldn't help but start waving her fists.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be called the person who, with just a few words, made Huaiyan smooth things over by saying, "The Huangzhong system can only be maintained for a limited time, so let's keep it short."

However, before the dragon lords went berserk, Dan Lei first spoke up to appease both sides.
"General Yao Guang, you really overestimate me."

I was granted permission to undergo trials and travel the universe, and only then did I receive the immortal inheritance.

Without the support of the Immortal Boat Alliance, I wouldn't be able to travel freely through the universe so easily.

Eji Hazo wouldn't have gained so much back then, which led him to connect with the Black Tower and Nguyen Mai.

I have never forgotten the protection the Immortal Boat Alliance gave me when I was weak; this is the kind of care that only someone born into the Ming Dynasty could receive.

Therefore, every drink and every bite in the past was preordained.

However, all fixed numbers are subject to change, and General Yao Guang should not place too much faith in divination. Even the thought process of "Master Bo Shi" has its limitations.

Dan Lei's words were pleasing to both the Immortal Boat Alliance and Chiming.

Even Yao Guang nodded in agreement.
"However, are all constants subject to change... I have learned something from what you said, Lord Yuyang."

Seeing that the light from the Yao clan was no longer provoking the Ming clan, Dan Lei then spoke to Marshal Hua.

"I can answer Marshal Hua's question."

Actually, there's nothing wrong with discussing this issue with others.

I have no intention of following the old path of the immortal life of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons in the Heavenly Abyss.

Its demise has already proven that life is not eternally immortal, and I will not stubbornly walk this dead-end path again.

However, if life is not immortal, then what is immortality?
Are concepts immortal? Absolutely not. Concepts change as things change.

Is destiny immortal? That is also a fallacy. The beginning of destiny is only a few million years ago, like a drop in the ocean of the universe. It is born and dies in an instant. How can it be called immortal?

Therefore it is said: Only the easy is unchanging.

The universe is in constant flux, and only this very change can be called immortal.

Even as all things in the world undergo the vicissitudes of time, and even to the end of the universe, the law of "change" remains.

Creation is change, and annihilation is also change. Do you all understand?

Dan Lei's words were utterly shocking, directly denying the immortality of the Immortal [Dragon], leaving the Dragon Lords speechless.

The same applies to the generals. You've already said, "Creation is change, and annihilation is also change." All things in the world, from birth to old age, sickness, and death, are in flux. So what else is there to say?

Moreover, from a microscopic perspective, there is indeed a difference between oneself in one second and oneself in the next second, so this statement cannot be refuted from either a scientific or metaphysical standpoint.

However, despite his silence, most people cannot understand Danlei's philosophy.

If Dan Lei hadn't already devoured the philosophical embryo of order, and wasn't the one who had walked the deepest path on the road to immortality, and was considered half a star god in everyone's hearts, these words would definitely have been regarded as the delusions of a madman.

All I can say is that, in the eyes of normal people, anyone without the title of "Star God" would be considered insane.

The geniuses in the Genius Club were mostly considered crazy by their contemporaries.

However, Marshal Hua seemed to have truly grasped the meaning of Dan Lei's words, nodding and speaking frankly.

"Interesting, interesting. So, you have to look at the universe from such a high altitude to get close to the Star God?"

Dan Lei immediately poured cold water on Hua's statement, saying bluntly, "Wrong. The Star God's view of the universe is not absolute. After ascending, [Aha], [Pharmacist], [Taizyuros], and [Idrila] all focused their attention on mortal life, and did not even specify intelligent life."

There's no such thing as absolutes when it comes to star gods. The closer I get to them, the more confused I feel.

Perhaps when I see through this confusion, that will be the time for my ascension.

Dan Lei's words were essentially meaningless.

For others, it was simply incomprehensible what Danlei was confused about; the difference in their levels of understanding was too great.

So Jing Yuan coughed lightly and changed the subject back to the main point.
"Ahem, have we gone off-topic? Wasn't this meeting supposed to be about solving the problem of the Wisdom Cultivator's reproductive issues? How did we end up talking about the Star God's ascension?"

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, Huai Yan immediately echoed his sentiments.

"Isn't this something everyone's curious about? The Star God can't possibly come down here himself to answer our questions."

Dan Lei, the only person in the universe who has explicitly devoured the concept of the Star God, is naturally the most authoritative person to answer his questions.

However, the difference in their levels of understanding is too great. In my nearly two thousand years of life, my understanding of the universe is far less than that of Danlei, a young man, who has only lived for two hundred years.

Indeed, the world's saying that a star god's ascension depends on sudden enlightenment is no exaggeration.

Upon hearing Huaiyan's words, his friend Yantingjun promptly offered a reminder.
“General Huaiyan, you should address Yuyang Jun instead of calling him ‘this boy’.”

Yan Tingjun's reminder was exactly what Huai Yan wanted to hear, and he immediately stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally acted like an old man."

He should be addressed with the honorific title of Lord Yuyang, after all, he is now much stronger than this old man.

"This old man of mine only knows how to forge iron; I can casually mold a planet, but I can't create a star system."

Huaiyan's purpose was to remind the alliance that Danlei's current strength should not be underestimated, and that Explosive Star was nothing in his eyes.

With his ability to control the movement of galaxies, destroying a star system is as simple as a thought for him.

Moreover, no one knows the limits of his abilities. If he can manipulate the nebula, few below the Star God level will dare to challenge him.

However, Huaiyan had the right to act arrogantly because of his seniority, and everyone present except Bailu could understand his meaning, so no one denounced Huaiyan.

Xuan Quan immediately steered the meeting back to its main topic, asking Hua Wen...

"Marshal, we've already discussed the topic of the Star God. Now, you should tell us whether the Alliance is willing to support our efforts to restore the reproductive capacity of the Ming Dynasty?"

There is only one answer to this question: unless the Immortal Boat Alliance wants to start a civil war now or force Chiming off the ship, there is only one outcome.

Marshal Hua answered with great certainty.

"Of course I support that."

However, the alliance has great disagreements about the use of the plague relics. As you all know, these things are evil objects that need to be sealed away in the minds of the people.

If the Vidyadharas are granted special privileges to use these items, cults like the Medicine King's Secret Teachings will surely rise again immediately.

After Hua finished speaking, Yao Guang continued...

"Not only that, I have also used the light of the ten directions to reflect the Dharma realm to deduce it."

Once the Vidyads are publicly permitted to use the Plague Curse, the discontent among other races in the alliance with the preferential treatment given to the Vidyads will accumulate again.

Then, under the guidance of those with ulterior motives, we may very well face another crisis of internal strife.

The Dragon Lords, including Dan Lei, had anticipated this explanation from the Immortal Boat Alliance. Therefore, Yan Tingjun, whose use was unrelated to the matter, took the initiative to ask...
"What is the alliance's proposed solution?"
We can't say that the alliance's support for restoring Ming's fertility is just lip service, and that they're doing nothing in practice.

When Yan Tingjun asked this question, Youwu, as the "good cop," had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump out to answer again.

"Lord Yuyang, may I ask if you could provide the Alliance with the specific formula and production process for the Dream Orchid Potion?"

The alliance subsequently provided finished medicines directly to the Vidyads.

As for how much time to allocate, we can discuss that in more detail.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei frowned and immediately refused.

"General Chenming, please stop saying such things. I have no personal issues with you, so I don't want you to suffer unnecessary hardship because of some pressure."

The formula for the Menglan potion was invented by Nguyen Mai, the 81st member of the Genius Club, and as her husband, I do not have the right to authorize her to hold the exclusive patent.

Therefore, if the Alliance wants the detailed production process of the Dream Orchid Potion, they can only trade with Ruan Mei.

As your husband, I can act as a matchmaker, but a friendly reminder: the recipe for the Dream Orchid Potion involves knowledge of the Star Gods, and the alliance must possess knowledge of the same level for any transaction to be possible.

Dan Lei's words effectively blocked the possibility of a trade.

Everyone present knew that if Dan Lei wanted to facilitate a deal, it would only take a few words.

Letting the league handle the trade with Nguyen Mai means that Dan Lei himself does not agree to the trade.

Even if the alliance finds Nguyen Mai, the other side will ask for an exorbitant price that the alliance cannot accept.

However, Dan Lei's statement complies with the patent licensing regulations in the universe.

Dan Lei indeed had no authority to authorize Ruan Mei to grant her the patent for her invention.

Furthermore, Dan Lei warned Youwu that if he were to act as a mouthpiece for the league, he should also consider the consequences, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he were to be beaten to death one day.

Dan Lei's warning was quite intimidating. He immediately shut up, indicating that he had done everything he could for the league, and that the league should ask someone else about the remaining issues.

Therefore, Hua could only take the initiative to ask.

"In that case, Lord Yuyang, I would like to ask, how many materials does the Alliance need to provide to create one dose of Dream Orchid Potion?"

In response to this question, Dan Lei immediately took out the Pharmacist's Immortal Vine and then said seriously...
"As you all know, outside of Avalon, the Emperor Bow Master and the Plague Ancestor fought a battle. I have collected a large number of vines that were broken by the Plague Ancestor in the battle."

To put it simply, each dose of Menglan potion requires a large bag of vines, weighing approximately five pounds.

I can provide the Alliance with a bag of vines as a sample for free. You can measure the abundant power contained within them and set a standard for yourselves.

Moreover, what the league truly lacks is breeding creations.

Regarding the extraction of abundant power, let's be frank: the Alliance's level should be higher than that of Ruan Mei's machinery.

Let's take out all those old prescriptions and go through them.

I think it's time for some immortal beliefs to emerge within the alliance.

When the time comes, these products shouldn't be labeled as "abundant," what do you all think?

　Thank you to the final boss of the world for the 5000 Qidian coins.

　　According to the rules, I should add 2000 words, but I haven't been feeling well lately, so I might have to postpone it for a while. I'll add the extra chapter when I'm feeling better.
