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

Chapter 474 Dan Lei "Lai Gushi, do you like listening to music?"

Dan Lei simply watched the "clash" between Aglaia and Naksha from the sidelines without offering any opinion.

In the game, Aglaia and Naksha are constantly at odds due to their conflicting ideologies, but their conflict is a very upright one.

Neither of them would resort to underhanded tactics to retaliate against the other simply because they disagreed with the other's ideas.

Moreover, the two of them are two-faced, both openly and secretly showing utter disdain for each other's theories.

However, the two people still respect each other in essence, even when one person criticizes the other.

Aglaia will probably just walk away without bothering to talk.

At that moment, Xia would definitely have given that person a sarcastic and sarcastic rebuke.

In conclusion, it's true that the two don't get along, but it's not as bad as it seems on the surface.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is often your opponent. Aglaia and Naksha might actually be the people who know each other best in this era.

Dan Lei followed Aglaia and the others all the way to the Demigod Council.

Upon entering the massive conference square, Danlei spotted Lai Gushi mingling in the crowd.

Lai Gu Shi was lucky today, getting a decent-looking skin that was very fitting for the occasion.

That's the skin for the referee robot Captain Dragonfly from "Metal Heroes: Clash Royale".

He was wearing the same exoskeleton as Captain Dragonfly, with a scoreboard filling the large hole in his chest, and a helmet just like Captain Dragonfly's. Only his face was his own.

Therefore, upon seeing this, Danlei directly addressed Aglaia and the others.

"Let's split up and stand separately from now on. You don't need to worry about me during this meeting. Let's not attract attention and chat with acquaintances to pass the time."

After speaking, Dan Lei concealed his presence and made others ignore him, habitually treating himself as an NPC, and then squeezed into the crowd of citizen representatives in the stands.

Bai E was a little worried when he saw Dan Lei disappear into the crowd in just a few seconds.

Seeing this, Aglaia offered her advice without hesitation.
"Bai'er, you don't need to worry about Danlei's safety at all. With his strength, even if everyone in this venue attacked him together, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him."

What you need to think about now is how to speak later.

Aglaia's words did nothing to lessen Bai E's worry. He scratched the back of his head and slowly said...

"Actually, what I'm worried about is that those citizen representatives might accidentally provoke Danlei."

Last night I crammed on the history books from the time of Kerudela. If Danlei was indeed a ruler as... forceful as she was, then the citizen representatives around him were like unknowingly walking onto a thin, frozen lake.

In Aglaia's view, Bai'er's concerns were a typical case of a half-baked expert waving his arms around without understanding the details.

She could only patiently explain.
"Don't worry, Danlei is not Keludela."

Moreover, even when Crydela was disguised and mingling in the streets, she never punished those who unintentionally offended her.

After Aglaia finished speaking, she left, not at all worried that anything might happen to Danlei.

Seeing this, Bai E had no choice but to follow.

The scene then shifts to Dan Lei, who, by minimizing his presence, quickly squeezes next to Lai Gu Shi.

Laigushi distinguishes people by electrical signals, and Danlei's little tricks to reduce his presence are useless against him.

However, when Dan Lei approached, he didn't dodge, and only spoke slowly when Dan Lei was right next to him.
"Your Excellency Danlei, I did not expect that you would be interested in the citizens' assembly of the classical period."

When Lai Gushi spoke, it was easy for those around him to block out the sounds they heard, so they continued discussing other things.

Dan Lei naturally responded to Lai Gushi's question using telepathy.

"This is all your fault for the prophecy of Cephall. Without it, I wouldn't need to define the nature of the end of the Fire Chasing journey for the Golden Blood at this citizens' assembly."

However, to Dan Lei's surprise, Lai Gushi replied quite calmly.
“Lord Danlei, the prophecy of Kefal was not my premeditated act. I will not interfere with the ongoing experiment at will, and there is no need for me to use a prophecy to help you solidify your identity in the Onfaros operation.”

Dan Lei was somewhat skeptical of Lai Gushi's words.

Because Lycus was right, Cephalus's prophecy did him no good.

As for not interfering with ongoing experiments, Dan Lei said he would just listen to it, but he would definitely intervene if it was really necessary.

While it's true that as long as the program runs, bugs shouldn't be fixed casually, Laigushi certainly can't stand seeing a bunch of bugs running the program in a bizarre way.

To use an unlikely analogy, he later successfully drew Hipe's attention to himself.

Then she remembered that Nanuk had once created Starscream by defeating one of her followers, forcibly changing the Iron Curtain from the Great Lord of Annihilation into the new Harmonious Commander. Do you think the Ancient Ones might interfere with the subsequent operation of the program?

However, whatever Danlei thought in his heart didn't stop him from directly refuting it verbally.

"Laigushi, you're kidding me."

Since you were able to stop me before I entered this world, you must be an administrator or something similar to the Onfaros program.

"Kefaller, with your authority, you should be able to see the whole story behind this command."

"Is it possible for someone to use a 'carpal tunnel' to pass messages without your knowledge as the administrator?"

When asked about Danlei's question, Laigushi calmly gave a jaw-dropping answer.
"Your Excellency Danlei, you were right."

You should know that this world is mainly composed of three intertwined destinies: destruction, memory, and knowledge.

Program permissions only represent the knowledge aspect.

Therefore, even with administrator privileges, there are still times when many things cannot be traced or searched.

Moreover, even in a battle of wits, I am now unable to breach your firewall.

Debating "Why do birds fly?" and breaking down the knowledge barriers set by [Bo Shi Zun] is indeed not a simple matter.

Although Lai Gushi spoke in the same tone throughout, Dan Lei sensed a slight fluctuation in his spirit again when he said the last sentence.

This kind of fluctuation is almost a sigh.

Dan Lei silently noted this down and synchronized it to Immortal One. Instead of asking related questions, he countered with a question about the first half of the sentence.

Is it really okay for you to tell me all this?

Knowing that your administrator privileges aren't omnipotent, and that you can influence fate through memory, isn't that blatantly telling me how to deal with you?

"It's no secret in the universe that I am the messenger of destiny's memories, so what exactly are you plotting?"

When asked about Danlei's question, Laigushi replied in his usual, unchanging tone.

"I'm just speaking my mind to someone who shares my values."

You simply don't agree with my training of the Extinction Lord to break down knowledge barriers.

However, we agree on the issue of breaking down knowledge barriers.

Therefore, I'm willing to share the problems I encountered in the experiment with you. That way, if I do fail later, it will be helpful for your future efforts to break down knowledge barriers.

Dan Lei doesn't know how much sincerity Lai Gushi had in mind, but he certainly wouldn't appreciate it.

As I said before, I was the one who said the Iron Tomb was in trouble. Don't even mention you coming to Gush, even if Nanook comes, I won't change my tune.

Of course, Dan Lei was just saying that at the time. [Aha]'s tears and Dan Lei's physical body were floating outside. These things weren't bound to his soul, so he couldn't bring them in at all.

In Onfaros, Danlei can only use the simulated "Aha" mask. Wearing the mask and making the world laugh is a blessing bestowed upon him by "Aha," so he can bring it in.

Of course, in extreme cases, Danlei can have the Black Tower come to his side, open the sword box, and drip [Aha]'s tears into Onpharos.

However, only heaven knows what will happen if we do this.

In short, after Lai Gushi reiterated that he and Dan Lei were comrades, Dan Lei maintained the same stance.

“Laigushi, no, Zandal Isanbara, as long as you haven’t given up on achieving your goal with the Extinction Lord, even if I have the same goal as you, I am not your comrade.”

Furthermore, didn't you just admit that your experiment could fail?

Dan Lei directly asked about the possibility of the experiment failing, and Lai Gushi generously replied...

"As long as it's an experiment, there's always the possibility of failure."

I won't deny that the chance of failure does exist, but I can tell you that the probability of my experiment succeeding is now infinitely close to 100%.

Alright, the citizens' assembly is about to begin. Please excuse me for leaving temporarily; I still have duties to complete here. Please wait a moment.

After speaking, Lai Gushi stepped down from the stands and went to the center of the conference square to fulfill the duties required of the identity he had played for thousands of years.

Ricoeur's speech was actually very short; he was merely acting as the master of ceremonies for the citizens' assembly, announcing the opening of the assembly and inviting the first speaker.

Of course, the order of the speeches at this citizens' assembly was completely out of order by this point.

With the announcement, "In the name of the audience, I hereby declare that His Excellency XXX, a member of the Senate, will deliver the first speech of this session."

Is Representative XXX here?

"I regret to inform you that Representative XXX is not present. We would now like to invite the next speaker."

In short, Lai Gushi called out three names in a row, all of which were from Kenneth's people.

The data of these people were shattered by the computing power worms, and many were even directly devoured. Some of them are even wanted by the authorities and will definitely not be able to appear at the Citizens' Assembly.

Therefore, it wasn't until the fourth person was called in order that a neutral member of parliament spoke.

However, due to what happened last night, even the neutral parties are on edge, and this senator immediately began to accuse the Golden Generation of abusing their power to issue arrest warrants for Senate members.

Dan Lei wasn't interested in the details, so after Gu Shi returned, Dan Lei changed the subject and teased him.
"You're really professional as a host. Is this one of Zandal Ikuwahara's little hobbies?"

Lai Gushi had nothing to hide about this kind of issue; he spoke the truth.

"No, this is just a small activity of the observer in this experiment."

As you know, simple observation can be very tedious and boring. Limited participation, without affecting the experiment, can greatly alleviate the boredom.

Over time, I also developed some other skills.

Upon hearing Gu Shi's words, Dan Lei took the opportunity to ask...
"Laigushi, do you like listening to songs? For example, the hymns that the people here have developed on their own."

Although Lai Gushi didn't know why Danlei asked that question, he still gave him face and replied.

"It's not a matter of liking or disliking; even the most beautiful music becomes just so-so after listening to it too many times."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately laughed.
"That makes sense. No matter how good a song is, it gets boring after you get tired of it."

However, I can give you a video recording of the opening ceremony of the Pinocchio Harmony Festival of the Amber Age.

Miss Robin's performance at the Music Festival was truly impressive; you can listen to it whenever you have some free time.

After saying that, Danlei used the jade tablet to transmit the relevant video to Laigushi.

Lai Gushi wasn't afraid at all that Dan Lei might put another virus in the video; he just quickly scanned it and accepted it, then began the on-the-spot evaluation.

After the time it takes to sing a song, Lai Gushi sighed.

"Tong Xie's music is indeed particularly unique. Even when listening to a recording, I felt my emotions were stirred, a feeling I haven't experienced in a long time."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately laughed.
“As long as you like it.

If I remember correctly, I'm next to speak, so make sure your introduction is well-presented.

Lai Gushi, of course, wouldn't refuse such a trivial request. He stepped onto the stage and spoke in a high-spirited tone.

"Beyond Kefal and Taranton, in the name of the divine audience, I have seen the prophesied Dragon God, Lord Danlei, the supreme of all dragons in the universe, who is about to deliver his speech."

After Lai Gushi finished speaking, Dan Lei appeared beside him in a flash. Then, Lai Gushi bowed and slowly stepped down, handing the stage over to Dan Lei.

Dan Lei looked at the Ohmah representatives around him and released a trace of dragon might, which made people feel a sense of fear just by looking at him.

Just like ordinary people looking at lions and tigers through an iron cage, when the lion or tiger in the cage lets out a hoarse growl, people will still instinctively feel fear.

Seeing that the dragon's might had an effect, Dan Lei then began his speech loudly.

"Citizens of Ohm, I sense both fear and hope for the future in the way you look at me."

Clearly, you both look forward to and fear the unknown future.

But I want to tell you.

Don't be afraid of the unknown future.

Because you can turn the unknown into the known through your own efforts.

One person's strength may be insignificant, but countless examples in the universe have proven that united humanity is virtually omnipotent.

Many of you have expressed doubts about my prophecy that the journey to seek fire will come to an end, and question whether my previous insistence on seeking fire was a mistake.

Now I can tell you with certainty that it is never wrong to seek a turning point in a disaster.

The Black Tide has enveloped the entire world, and the Titans you worship have all gone mad. If all you do is kneel and pray, there will be no hope for this world.

My arrival will only accelerate the journey to the fire, not end it.

However, prayer is not entirely useless. I have discovered some rules in your world that can help the Golden Children increase or restore the power of the gods.

Here I propose that all citizens of Ohmma cooperate by simultaneously singing the hymn of Janus in Ohmma.

I will guide the Golden Blood to try and respond to you with a miracle, a miracle full of hope!!
