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

Chapter 484 Curiosity can kill the cat, and it can also kill the dragon.

Dan Lei didn't find Bai E's farewell to Xing strange.

Based on the available information, the two should be able to meet again in the next reincarnation, but only heaven knows how much of Bai E's sanity will remain when they meet again.

Moreover, given their differing stances, Bai E would want to kill the Golden Descendants to promote the re-creation of the world, and Xing certainly couldn't stand by and watch him go on a killing spree. The two would likely be forced to exchange a few blows.

However, Dan Lei didn't notice that the ritual sword Bai E used to kill Hei E was no longer in his hands.

Meanwhile, Xi Lian, who was silently watching everything outside from within the Holy Grail Space, suddenly found herself holding a crescent-shaped ritual sword.

As Bai E completed the re-creation, his figure shone with dazzling golden light, like a blazing sun slowly rising, before disappearing from sight.

At this moment, Dan Lei had no idea what decision he had made when Bai E was merging with the power of the 33550336th world.

After inheriting the position of savior, he wanted to seek revenge on the culprit behind everything, not Lygus, but the source of the concept of "destruction" in the universe, the destroying star god "Nanook".

As soon as Bai E disappeared, Dan Lei followed the traces of his data in the memory without hesitation.

The next second, Dan Lei arrived at Dawn Cloud Cliff, which he had almost torn to pieces in this cycle of reincarnation.

Fortunately, Danlei mainly damaged the Parliament Square area, while the platform at the Altar of the Underworld, located at the end of the road, was not significantly damaged.

When Danlei appeared here, the god Bai'e (hereinafter referred to as Shen'e), who was in his prime, was confronting Lai Gushi again.

However, this Laigushi has no skin; it seems he's finally willing to show his true form to people.

When Bai E saw Dan Lei follow them, he didn't immediately offer his opinion.

In his view, whatever Danlei's purpose, he was a friend, not an enemy.

Having already absorbed Hei'e's memories, he knew that Xi Lian, who followed Dan Lei, had obtained all the memories of his 33550336 reincarnations.

Therefore, Danlei also learned about his own situation, which is why he cooperated with his previous self in putting on a show.

Considering his purpose this time, and the Star God of Destruction that Dan Heng had once described to him.

Bai E felt that Dan Lei's only option after coming along was to help him fight against the God of Destruction.

When Lai Gushi saw Dan Lei again, he respectfully gave him a welcoming bow and then said...

"Welcome to the end of history, Lord Danlei."

Danlei and Laigushi have been in contact for some time, and Danlei has some understanding of his logic.

This guy spent countless years in the scepter, mostly as a spectator, and the kind of spectator who watches movies alone.

So he probably didn't even realize that he had been forced into becoming a chatterbox, and he would say a lot whenever he had the chance.

Of course, what he says is often a mix of truth and falsehood. If you believe everything he says, you're bound to get scammed sooner or later.

However, there was some truth in what he said, so Dan Lei didn't attack directly, but instead asked...

"The end of history? Isn't this Dawn Cloud Cliff? Shouldn't the re-creation have begun? Why is this place still here?"

Dan Lei's question was clearly no secret, as Lai Gushi readily explained.

"This is normal; this is where Cephalo's body is located."

According to the normal process, the world ends here, and is also reborn here.

This is the end of the old world's history, and the beginning of the new world's history.

After Lai Gushi said that, Dan Lei understood. This Negative World Altar Audience Place was the last file deleted during Onfaros's reincarnation, and also the first file created in the new world.

Clearly, even with the computing power of the Emperor's Scepter, the deletion and reconstruction of a world could not be completed in a few seconds.

So, we still have a few more minutes to chat.

So Danlei asked again
"Laigushi, you're in your true form now. Is it really appropriate for you to be here? Aren't you afraid I'll just kill you right now?"

Lai Gushi was very confident about this, and smiled.

"Lord Danlei, I believe you will not choose to take action here."

We have too little time to fight, and neither of us can defeat the other.

So why don't you let me and Lord Bai'er have a few more words?"

There's really nothing wrong with what Lai Gu Shi said; after all, he is a continuation of Zandal-i Kuwabara's self-awareness.

No matter how confident Dan Lei was, he wasn't sure he could win over this true father of the Star God in a short period of time.

However, upon hearing that Lai Gushi was about to nag him again, Bai E immediately expressed his extreme disgust.
"I don't want to talk to you."

Lai Gushi was completely unconcerned about Bai E's current disgust and continued speaking to himself.
"Your Excellency Bai'e, however many times this is before you, I will still place the power of choice before you."

Similarly, I must say that in all these 30 million futile attempts, Onphalus's fate has never changed.

Since the outcome is already predetermined, why not extinguish the scorching fire of anger that burns the world, and embrace your destiny with greater dignity?

Bai E remained silent in response to these words.

However, Laigushi felt as if he had discovered a new continent and immediately seized the opportunity to build railways.

"Your silence is longer than ever before, Lord Bai'e. May I interpret this as: your will, which has transcended countless reincarnations, has begun to crack?"

Upon hearing the word "crack," Bai E immediately sneered and slowly replied...
“A crack? No, I’m just disappointed.”

I retrieved over 30 million memories from my past lives, and I also clearly remember the conversations before each decision.

I am disappointed with your repetitive and boring rhetoric.

If you insist on carving a rift in my heart, then you should have used this incredibly long time to hone your utterly unconvincing rhetoric.

You had countless opportunities to persuade those countless versions of yourself from the past to lead me into the future you desired.

But the result now? 33550336 to 0.

So, haven't you also wasted over three million lifetimes?

Lai Gushi completely disregarded Bai E's rebuttal and continued...

"Unfortunately, this is not a fair game."

I have almost infinite time and patience, enough to meet you a billion times, or even a billion more times, at the ends of the earth.

But you can never get out of this cage.

You may declare yourself victorious.

But we both know that when the score reached 1-0, I was the ultimate victor in this tug-of-war.

Bai'e was genuinely amused by Lai Gushi's words.

By this time, he already knew some of the information from beyond the heavens, and he knew very well what a pathetic creature Lai Gushi was.

So Bai'er laughed heartily with a "hearty" smile.

"Ha ha ha ha!!

Lai Gushi, your incompetence disappoints me.

But what truly makes me laugh is your complete lack of awareness of your arrogance. Think about it! In this story, who is truly the bound prisoner? Who has been enslaved to this day by a tedious tale of revenge, mistaking the courage to defy the gods for foolishness?

You're right, perhaps I should get tired of this endless futility.

Even so, I will not accept your charity of relief.

Because you are both God's slave and my prisoner, what right do you, a mere prisoner, have to talk to me about fate and choices?

"What right does a mere prisoner have to look me in the eye with such rage?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed at Lai Gushi's neck, and his head was once again severed by Bai E.

However, the impact of his head hitting the ground did not affect Lai Gushi's language module; he clearly stated...

"You know it's pointless. You can't kill me."

Bai E knew perfectly well that no matter how many times he chopped off Gu Shi's head, he could not kill him.

However, beheading Lai Gu Shi had become a habit for Bai E. As long as he regained all his memories, he could never resist beheading him.

Today, out of respect for Danlei, we've already cut the price late.

After beheading Lai Gushi, Bai E, who was already prepared to die, gave him his last words.
“Lagushi, I know this won’t kill you.”

But I am now tired of being considered an equal opponent by a worm raised by the gods.

Having said that, he raised his longsword high to the sky and roared.

"Destroyer, Creator, listen up! This cry comes from all your abandoned creations—"

In the tenth cycle, I plunged the Dawn-Slaying Blade into the heart of every Titan. Golden blood flowed down my fingertips, and the excruciating pain of the divine fire almost made me give up the struggle—but I persevered.

In the ten thousandth cycle, all former companions have become enemies.

The endless slaughter made me forget what pain was, and the profound emptiness almost swallowed me up, forcing me to stop fighting—but I persevered.

In the 100,000th cycle, destruction has long since coalesced into a blazing sun, churning within this fragile body. Reason was burned out at the very beginning of the era... But even with only this shattered body remaining, I still persevered.

The 23,570,000th reincarnation... This time, I felt it. Within my long-emptied chest cavity, a flame, different from the obsession with saving the world, was rising...

Relying on its faint light... once again—no, countless times—I persevered!
Now, a sun is about to fall, and it will burn this absurd space-time to ashes in an instant!
That is me! Countless versions of myself in the past! And my countless compatriots who were not born into this world willingly, and who have repeatedly sank into your golden blood!

The purest hatred and the most intense rage are formed from the fusion of all the pain and despair in this world!

Nanuk, you arrogant fool!
Do you think turning into firewood is our destiny?

Alright, then so be it, let the firewood burn!

If I was born to be the blazing sun of destruction, then you and your minions will all become the flares of my explosion!
Then, let this futile fire, which has burned for thirty million epochs, engulf everything! I will grant you the dawn of a world where all stars are consumed!

In Dan Lei's view, Bai E's words were tantamount to cursing the heavens.

At this moment, Bai E's anger did not require mental perception; the immense destructive power within him had completely manifested his rage.

Dan Lei could feel a burning sensation on his skin just by standing to the side.

You should know that with Danlei's resistance, just the heat causing him to feel a stinging sensation would turn an ordinary person to ashes instantly if they stood here.

Bai E's energy level is now definitely at the Envoy level.

But this didn't help.

Although the Star Gods truly exist, most of the time they are like the Heavenly Dao, regarding all mortals as mere straw dogs.

Regardless of whether the person who insults you is a powerful envoy, even if it is your own envoy, as long as certain conditions are not met, the Star God will still not give you a second glance.

After all, countless people in the Immortal Boat Alliance curse [Pharmacist] every day, but he has never reacted.

Similarly, there are probably people in the Immortal Boat Alliance who curse [Lan] every day, but he never suddenly shoots an arrow at them.

Not to mention the other Star Gods, Pinocchio almost resurrected the Order of Fate before, and [Hipe] only glanced at it after Star Gods reached the point of understanding the meaning of Harmony.

It wasn't until she swallowed the philosophical embryo of order, seemingly about to undergo a cesarean section, that Hippe sent a clone to check on her.

Going back further, Nanuk directly provoked his followers to unleash the Starshowl, and Hipe didn't even protest.

Clearly, the Star God wouldn't care about mortals who don't trigger the Fate Mechanism, not even messengers.

Of course, as mentioned before, when discussing normal Star Gods, [Aha] will never be included in the discussion.

Therefore, Dan Lei viewed Bai E's roar at the sky as a display of impotent rage.

Dan Lei said, "Does Nanook really think he'll come over and challenge you to a one-on-one fight after hearing that?"

Danlei is only interested in Bai E's good behavior now; his next move should be to attack the core area of ​​the scepter δ-me13.

However, to Dan Lei's surprise, before Bai E's roar to the sky had ended, a gaze was directed at Ongfaros.

Nanuk's gaze was indeed drawn to Bai Er.

Moreover, that wasn't the end of it. Nanuk's gaze wasn't a glance, but an observation. Once he looked over, he didn't look away.

Dan Lei felt as if the space around him was instantly covered by a lethal concentration of destructive power.

As Black Tower once said, the non-glancing gaze of the "Erudite" could burn top-tier destiny travelers like Walter and Sunday to ashes.

The destructive power contained in the gaze of Nanuk, who is in charge of destroying destinies, is even more terrifying.

Its power was so great that Dan Lei was unable to open his eyes.

Fortunately, Danlei is no pushover either, with the dual commands of Hunting and Balance on his side.

By utilizing the power of the Envoy-level Balanced Fate Path, the surrounding Destructive Fate Path can be balanced, reducing the stress on the body.

At the same time, by activating the power of order in conjunction with the source fire of [Fire Emperor] to protect himself, Dan Lei finally avoided being physically killed by [Nanook]'s stare.

Fortunately, Onphalus was inside the body of an Extinction Lord.

[Nanook] The surging power of destiny in his eyes ultimately benefited Iron Tomb, being absorbed by it, and the pressure on Dan Lei's side was greatly reduced.

Moreover, Dan Lei suddenly felt his strength increase.

However, when Danlei regained his sight, he suddenly realized that he no longer seemed to be in Onfaros.

To be precise, I was pulled into a subspace.

However, Danlei quickly recognized its true form here.

This is the Subspace of Destiny, a space dedicated to the Destiny of Destruction. Nanuk's enormous body stands outside the rift at the end of this space, watching everything within.

This star god seems quite interested in how Bai E will bestow upon him the dawn of a world where all the stars are consumed by fire.

However, upon seeing this, Danlei just wanted to roar.

Curiosity killed the cat!

If I had known that Bai'er could really summon Nanuk, I would never have followed him no matter what.

How can I fight against the Destroyer Star God now?
How is this any different from the ancient Chinese mythology of an ordinary dragon king attempting to fight against the great god Zhurong?
