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

Chapter 461 Dan Lei "Aglaia, water can tell me the stories it knows."

Dan Lei was very pleased with Dan Heng's trust, so he didn't keep him in suspense and directly told him the correct solution.

"The simplest way to solve Xing's problem is to help Xia Die find the missing parts."

I asked her to take me around Ohmma not because she's pretty.

The blessing of death surrounding her can indirectly reveal some of the underlying logic of this world.

I am now fairly certain that death in this world can be manipulated to some extent by the Death Titan. When she becomes a Death demigod, she can revive the star from its half-dead state.

Of course, in the worst-case scenario, I can also preserve Xing's soul and take it out.

However, I cannot guarantee that a star whose soul nature has changed after dying in Onpharos will be able to reconnect with its own body.

In the worst-case scenario, Xing's body is not a match, and I will have to make a new body for her.

"Let me make it clear beforehand, I don't have the technology to integrate a star core into a body. The body I create will definitely not have the same special qualities as her original one."

Dan Lei had no objection to Xing's arrangements, nodded, and then asked...
"So, Danlei, do you think Xing and I should continue to help the Golden Blood complete their journey to the Flame?"

Dan Lei waved his hand dismissively at the question, saying it was quite indifferent.
I will not comment on whether you will continue to help the Golden Descendants. This is your pioneering journey, and you can decide for yourselves.

All I can say is that the March 7th issue is quite serious now.

While I was in Pinocchio, I asked her for something.

In theory, with this thing, I can at least pinpoint her location in Onphalos.

As it turns out, after logging in, this method seems to have a bug, constantly pointing to you and Xing.

Or rather, it points to the camera on March 7th.

I scanned it, and there's nothing special about the camera except that you've picked up some strange spiritual energy from your constant travels to places of life and death.

All I can say is that the camera itself is the embodiment of March 7th, and this prophecy has come true. I don't have any good solutions right now.

It seems that finding March 7th would require turning the world upside down.

"Right now, I'll try to investigate the truth about the Fire Seed and the demigods. Whether it's for finding people later or dealing with a potential Iron Tomb attack, understanding the underlying logic of this world is always a good thing."

Dan Lei said that March 7th couldn't be found for the time being, so Dan Heng naturally had no other options.

However, the knocking sound came suddenly at this moment, it seems that Xing has woken up.

Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Xing standing there sleepily, clearly not fully awake.

Through the gap, you could see Xilian and Mimi watching a video.

This video is a manifestation of Danlei's memories, because Danlei may not have much else, but he has plenty of stories from different worlds.

Therefore, Xi Lian liked to occasionally look through the memories Dan Lei allowed her to access and find stories, which she then materialized into books or film and television materials.

For example, they are currently watching the "historical documentary" Matrix trilogy.

Xing protested immediately after Dan Heng opened the door.

"Dan Heng, that's not fair! You actually conspired with Dan Lei! Am I still your best partner?!"

Dan Heng smiled slightly at this.
"Of course, so I want you to sleep a little longer."

Danheng didn't respond, and Xing found it boring, but that was just Danheng's style of speaking.

So Xing immediately turned to the more interesting Dan Lei and "interrogated" him.
"Dan Lei, tell me honestly, what are you and Dan Heng plotting?"

Xing had already gone inside and closed the door, so Danlei joked without any hesitation.

"Danheng and I were discussing how to arrange your funeral and how many people to invite to the memorial service."

star:? ? ?

After some explanation, Xing finally understood her current situation.

Then, Xing immediately grabbed Dan Lei's arm playfully, her eyes sparkling, and put on a pitiful expression. Then, in a high-pitched voice, she shook Dan Lei's arm and said...

"Brother Danlei~~ I don't want to die~~ Please revive me, revive me right now~~ please~~"

Can you imagine? Xing, who has completely degenerated into a comedic figure in the galaxy, suddenly acts like a charming but manipulative girl and comes to you to act cute.

To be honest, when Xing shook him like that, Dan Lei felt goosebumps all over his body.

Dan Heng, standing to the side, was too ashamed to watch. He leaned against the wall, rested his forehead on his arms, and began to face the wall, indicating that he didn't want to deal with what was happening here.

Playing games on Xiaomi's mobile platform in his previous life made Danlei realize one thing: there are some characters he just can't bring himself to be attracted to.

Xing and Ying next door are typical examples.

Just like a certain monkey king who is not bad in terms of her own conditions, but the audience is as calm as a meditating monk when she sells her personal benefits.

In his past life, when Danlei was browsing certain websites, he would silently cross out pictures of Xing and Ying. These two were really not suitable for that kind of thing; it was a bit morally reprehensible.

Lingmei, on the other hand, is quite charming.

As for Kiana, forget it, Kiana is the best.

So, without hesitation, Dan Lei tapped Xing on the head and complained.

"Stop fooling around. You're not in any immediate danger. Given the stability of your soul, you should be able to hold on for at least another twenty days."

Use these twenty days to connect with Xia Die and strengthen your bond.

You are hoping that I will take your soul out and resurrect it.

I'm ready to put it inside the body of a raccoon swinging a baseball.

I'll reluctantly put your original body in the artifact storage box and display it on the Black Tower Space Station.

After all, it's a living entity capable of storing a star's core; it's more than enough to be considered a rare and wondrous object.

Xing wasn't nervous at all when she heard that she had about twenty days left to live, for the same reason as Dan Heng.

She believed that if things really didn't work out, Danlei would definitely save his life.

As for changing his body to that of a raccoon, he wasn't afraid of Himeko's satellite cannon hitting his face; he just did it anyway.

However, losing one's original body is also a big problem.

So Xing immediately pretended to think and muttered to himself.
"Should we conquer Xia Die within twenty days?"

It's a bit challenging, but I like it.

Hehe, hehehehe..."

Danlei didn't want to know what Xing was fantasizing about. At this moment, she had fully awakened her instincts. Neptune was her current title.

In short, now that Xing and Danheng know the current situation, Danlei steered the conversation back to the main topic and said seriously.
"Alright, we'll talk about Xing's matter later."

Now I need to get down to business.

I don't plan to stay in Ohmma for long; I'll leave tomorrow after tonight's dinner.

I will also take the initiative to obtain a few more sparks for research in the future.

Whether the fire I obtained will be returned to the Golden Clan depends on the outcome.

You'd better be mentally prepared.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Xing's expression immediately turned serious, and she asked earnestly.

"Danlei, are you going to take a different stance from us again?"

Dan Lei nodded helplessly at Xing's head, and lectured him.
"What different stance? Do you even have a stance now? What is the purpose of collecting the fire? What will happen after the rebirth? Tell me clearly."

To put it bluntly, you have no idea what you're actually helping with.

You are only assisting the Golden Clan out of trust in them.

And what I want to do now is to understand what is called re-creation.

This could affect the Golden Clan's journey to seek fire.

However, the so-called prophecy of Cephalus has naturally placed me in the position of stopping the fire-chasing.

I'm going to play along. The Golden Bloods certainly won't risk the destruction of the world by letting me research the Fire Seed.

Anyway, even if I tell them the reality of Onphalus, they might not believe me.

You'd say the same thing, and they'd think you'd been fooled by me.

Therefore, we will split up, and I don't care how you act.

The logic behind your pioneering efforts is too different from mine; my excessive interference will only hinder your pioneering journey.

Besides researching the fire and demigods, I would also try to build a safe house as a backup plan within the Iron Tomb.

After all, whether I can easily get out is also unknown to me.

Dan Lei had made it clear, so Xing could only awkwardly stick out his tongue, because this time it was indeed different from Pinocchio.

It's indeed a bit laughable to talk about one's stance when one knows absolutely nothing about the subject.

Having settled things with Xing and Danheng, Danlei didn't linger and had Xing take him to Aglaia's private bathroom.

The journey to Aglaia's private bathroom went smoothly.

Xing deliberately winked and said this during their farewell.

"Danlei, you should really appreciate Aglaia."

After saying that, Xing immediately turned and left without looking back.

Dan Lei knew that Aglaia's invitation this time was not very interesting.

But the innocent Xi Lian covered her mouth with both hands and whispered to Dan Lei with emotion.

"Danlei, does that mean if we go in, we'll have to face the 'beauty trap' from the Thirty-Six Stratagems?"
"Is Aglaia planning to use her beauty to seduce you herself?"

After hearing this, Dan Lei helplessly patted Xi Lian's head and said speechlessly.

"Do you see how the Thirty-Six Stratagems are summarized in such a way?"

Do I look like the kind of person who would be easily seduced by a honey trap?

Xi Lian covered her head and looked at Dan Lei for a few seconds before answering the question very seriously.

"picture.

Danlei, your memories are filled with stories of protagonists building harems, which proves that you actually yearn for that aspect.

"And you already have two wives, plus you've had relationships with multiple women."

Dan Lei was speechless at Xi Lian's words. Needless to say, he had countless stories about harems in his memory. In his previous life, he had read and watched countless novels and watched countless anime with this element.

As for her complicated relationships with women in the Star Iron Universe, it was most likely that Xiao Huanlong, Dreig, and Albion revealed this to Xi Lian.

So Danlei stopped arguing and knocked on the door.

Facts speak louder than words. Let Xi Lian experience it for herself and see if Aglaia will use her beauty to seduce her.

Aglaia should know about the conversation between Danlei and Xilian at the bathroom door, because Danlei didn't clean up the gold threads around him.

So when Danlei knocked on the door, Aglaia, dressed in casual clothes, opened the door with remarkable precision seven seconds later.

This way, she won't seem anxiously waiting around the door, nor will the guests feel like they're waiting too long.

After welcoming Danlei inside, Aglaia greeted him politely.
"Welcome, Mr. Danlei, to my private bathhouse."

This is your yukata. You can go to the changing room on the left side of the bath to change your clothes.

There's also a separate bathroom for showering.

As Aglaia spoke, she handed over two sets of silk bathrobes with delicate gold trim.

Since this is a yukata to be soaked in water, the garment itself doesn't have any fancy colors; it's just a bright pearl white with gold trim, simple yet elegant.

Danlei had no complaints about this and simply took the bathrobe to change his clothes.

Danlei doesn't need a bathroom to rinse off his body; he can learn about Canglong Zhuoshi.

However, Dan Lei stayed in the locker room for a while because Xi Lian needed some time to shower. Even though she had an unappealingly youthful figure, he didn't want to go out and be a lucky pervert.

Dan Lei waited until Xi Lian told him through the contract that everything was alright outside before slowly walking out of the dressing room.

Aglaia, who was already in the bath at this moment, praised him upon seeing this.

“Mr. Danlei is a true gentleman. Although I took some precautions to prevent any accidents, the fact that you waited until now to come out shows that you respect Miss Ariel very much.”

Just as Danlei had predicted, Aglaia was wearing a one-piece bathrobe that covered almost her entire body, obscuring most of her long legs that were originally visible.

Although it is most likely that the inside is a vacuum, the special material of the clothing ensures that nothing can be seen from the outside, and it will not become transparent when it gets wet.

So, Dan Lei slowly walked to the edge of the bathing area and looked at Xi Lian, who had already started playing in the water, and said...
"It seems that Aglaia left a golden thread of detection in my dressing room. This time it was very well hidden, and I didn't even notice it."

There was definitely no gold thread in the locker room, but that didn't stop Danlei from deliberately framing Aglaia.

Dan Lei was simply mocking Aglaia as a voyeur, thus gaining a moral advantage in the ensuing confrontation.

Moreover, Danlei deliberately claimed he hadn't noticed, just to make Aglaya fall into a coma, since she had become so inhuman and her surveillance of Ohma had gone too far.

Upon hearing this, Aglaia knew that Danlei was deliberately causing trouble, but regarding the gold thread issue, she could only offer an explanation.
"Mr. Danlei, please believe me, I have never pried into anyone's privacy."

In Ohmma’s private areas, as well as places like the toilets and changing rooms, my gold thread doesn’t provide me with any visual information.

The gold threads in those places were only for communication stone tablets.

So please don't worry about having no privacy in Ohmma.

Aglaia's words would probably only be believed by Bai E and Xia Die; someone like Wan Di, who is outwardly rough but inwardly shrewd, wouldn't believe them.

However, there's not much to discuss on this issue; Ohma's ubiquitous gold threads are the guarantee of her rule.

If Dan Lei directly burned her wires, that would be one thing, but she wouldn't say anything about this kind of private power struggle that wasn't made public.

However, she wouldn't easily compromise if the topic were brought up openly.

So Danlei scooped up a handful of water from the bath and said to Aglaia...
“Miss Aglaia, you may not know this, but for the dragonborn who control the power of water, water itself can have the same effect as your golden threads.”

All life activities are inseparable from water, so life is actually living under the watchful eye of water.

The rain from the sky, the clear springs in the valley—once you drink them, the water tells me the stories it knows.

Tell me, what story does this pool of yours hold?

　When March 7th entered the camera's view, the spirit was empty.

　　The main storyline clearly states that her memories will gradually return when the Pioneer tells Xi Lian about interstellar travel in the next cycle.

　　Therefore, in the first cycle, March 7th was also in a state of emptiness, which can be described as completely transparent.

　　After all, even the long night moon, which was watching the stars and Danheng in the next cycle, didn't sense March 7th in the camera.
