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

Chapter 489 This world needs more geniuses
Even Black Tower found Dan Lei's words to be quite revealing.

What does it mean to kill a supreme ruler within three hours, witness the Star God bleed, and then watch the supreme ruler be promoted?

Dan Lei didn't mince words, and the golden blood of [Nanook] in his hand was solid evidence.

Following behind the Black Tower, Ruan Mei directly invoked the computing power of Immortal One to load the unique algorithm she had the Black Tower help her write, and repeatedly scanned the drop of golden blood.

Then, with a completely calm expression, he uttered something truly remarkable.
"Danlei, I want to take this drop of golden blood to my laboratory to see if I can use it to create a new life."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Is Nguyen Mai planning to use the golden blood that Nanuk just shed to create something new? She probably wants to use the pheromones in the blood to clone Nanuk.

Don't ask where the life pheromones came from in this drop of golden blood, which is almost a catastrophic aggregate of imaginary energy.

Just because others can't extract it doesn't mean Nguyen Mai can't.

Dan Lei was certain that if this golden blood were given to Ruan Mei, she would be able to create another Great Lord of Annihilation for [Nanook].

Therefore, Dan Lei directly shook his head and refused.

No, at least not now.

This drop of golden blood was obtained by Bai E sacrificing himself. I will copy the memory of the process later so that everyone can see the whole thing.

Therefore, this drop of golden blood should be used first to save Onpharos.

"If Onpharos has been saved, we can discuss what to do with this drop of blood later."

Dan Lei's reason was perfectly plausible: the treasures Bai E risked his life to obtain should be used first to save Onpharos, and no one would object.

Both Black Tower and Screw Goom are geniuses with above-average moral standards, so they naturally agree with what Dan Lei said.

Of the four people present who were qualified to make decisions, three reached a consensus. Even if Ruan Mei had her own ideas, she could only suppress her curiosity about the Destruction Star God's life code and follow the arrangements.

Having decided how to use the Golden Blood, Black Tower looked directly at Xi Lian beside Dan Lei, put his hands on his hips, and smiled.

"What a peculiar life form. It is a living, physical meme, and is also a memory spirit. Now it has the added identity of the Great Lord of Annihilation."

Ai Li, no, Miss Xi Lian, what's wrong with you?
It should be noted that in Onfaros, which has now been reincarnated, there is also a Xilian in the village called Ai Li Mi She.

However, she is the manifestation of Xing's memory spirit, and she looks exactly like you... in her original form. Excluding Dan Lei's memory and destiny energy, their essences are also extremely similar.

Of course, this is in comparison to the you of the past; the you of today has fundamentally changed.

You and that Xi Lian are like two identical transparent bottles, one filled with pink peach juice, the other with purple wine.

Xi Lian is the newly promoted Absolute Lord that Dan Lei mentioned; she couldn't hide it from the three geniuses present.

Therefore, Dan Lei never intended to hide Xi Lian's identity from the very beginning.

However, if you ask Xi Lian to explain her current situation, she genuinely doesn't know.

So Dan Lei decisively tried to speak up in defense of his Yi Ling's artifact spirit, but before he could even open his mouth, the Black Tower, which had perfectly predicted Dan Lei's actions, swept a sharp look over and said...

“Don’t talk yet.

I know that Yi Ling is like family to the Memory Path Walker.

But your concept of memory spirit is a bit too outrageous.

Even if a normal spirit has intelligence, it won't be very high. Yours is a completely independent life form.

Moreover, it is unheard of for a Spirit to become the Great Lord of Annihilation independently of the Memory Path Walker.

Furthermore, given that this meme has a physical body, how can you guarantee that this memory spirit will be just as completely open and honest with you as a normal memory spirit?

Dan Lei had no way to refute Hei Ta's words, because if Xi Lian had the ability to block Dan Lei's memory probes, then Dan Lei would definitely not know it.

Therefore, based on the normal memory of the relationship between the Destiny Walker and the Spirit, Dan Lei is simply unable to guarantee anything for Xi Lian at this moment.

Of course, Black Tower said this because he didn't know that there was actually a Holy Grail between Dan Lei and Xi Lian as a guarantee.

But Danlei cannot use this explanation.

As I said before, the Holy Grail is a secret you should keep to your grave unless it's no longer important to you.

Dan Lei, unable to think of a way to help Xi Lian out of the predicament, could only remain silent.

Fortunately, Dan Lei's thoughts were accurately conveyed to Xi Lian. She reacted quickly, and in the face of Black Tower's doubts, she decisively and smilingly said...

"Sister Black Tower, you don't really need to worry. Danlei and I share the same heart."
When I met him, I was just an empty shell made of data; he gave me a heart.
No matter how I change later, it's all based on changes in this heart.

You don't need to worry that I will hurt Danlei. I am just like him, loving what he loves and hating what he hates.

So, Sister Black Tower, I really like you!

In Danlei's heart, you're number one.

Xi Lian's words hit Black Tower's bullseye perfectly.

Whether Black Tower is No. 1 in Dan Lei's heart is a question that could be fatal. Even if Ruan Mei certainly doesn't care about the ranking of Dan Lei's wives, it's still something that can't be said.

But Black Tower was very receptive to this, and with Xi Lian's confession, Black Tower's wariness towards her instantly dropped significantly.

Moreover, Xi Lian was telling the truth about this matter.

Her ability to become the memory spirit of the Holy Grail is due to the active fusion of the consciousness within the Holy Grail.

That consciousness was indeed carefully cultivated by Dan Lei, and it originated from Dan Lei's heart.

This can be seen from the fact that the two are still in sync.

Seeing that Heita's mental defenses had been lowered by Xilian's direct shot, Danlei decisively added...
"Black Tower, Xi Lian transformed into the Great Lord of Annihilation, actually to save me. You'll know the details once you watch the memory recording."

The identity of the Great Lord of Annihilation is the main reason why Black Tower suspects Xi Lian.

After all, anyone in the universe with this identity could easily max out their evil level without any qualms.

Xi Lian is a newly promoted Great Lord of Annihilation, so he certainly hasn't had time to do evil yet. However, the power to destroy one's destiny has been circulating in his body for a long time, and those affected by it will inevitably cause some damage.

However, no matter how moral the Black Tower is, it will naturally side with its own people rather than with what is right, unless it is a matter of right and wrong.

Since Xi Lian became the Great Lord of Annihilation to save Dan Lei, then he is her benefactor.

Furthermore, using loans that didn't happen to judge someone who is currently innocent violates universally accepted moral principles.

So, Black Tower let Xi Lian off the hook for the time being, only swatting away her somewhat unruly hand that reached towards his waist, and complaining.

"Don't touch me. I believe now that you and Danlei are of one mind."

Your technique is exactly the same as his.

Normally, once a groper's hand is slapped away, the person who reached out should obediently back down and wait for the next opportunity. But Dan Lei's Xi Lian clearly inherited the traits of a certain pink-haired fairy next door; when flirting with girls, you couldn't blast through his thick skin even with an imaginary number collapse pulse.

Taking advantage of her female identity, Xi Lian relentlessly hugged Hei Ta's arm and pleaded.

"No way~~ Sister Black Tower, your skin is so good, how do you take care of it?"
Let's have a tea party. I've never had a tea party with a beautiful woman like you before. We can have a good discussion there.

Oh, and Sister Ruan Mei, please come along too. Teach me more about things mature women should pay attention to.

After all, I couldn't get any useful references from Danlei's memories; the differences in how men and women see things are too great.

This kind of thing should be taught by a beautiful and mature woman.

Dan Lei was dumbfounded by Xi Lian's series of actions, and he had a premonition that his harem might soon be overtaken by Xi Lian.

Xi Lian is currently a mature woman with a top-notch figure, so hugging Hei Ta, a woman who is relatively young, feels like hugging a doll.

But she called her "sister" so sweetly, even though Heita had already been turned into a young woman by Danlei and even had a child.

Otherwise, Xi Lian would definitely have called her a beautiful girl.

As for Heita, although she was clearly uncomfortable with Xi Lian's overly familiar embrace, Xi Lian's charm made her not particularly averse to it.

In the eyes of the Black Tower, Xi Lian is Dan Lei's memory spirit, just like his own little Black Tower, and is naturally one of his own.

When facing his own people, Black Tower will restrain his arrogant temper a bit.

As for Ruan Mei, she was very interested in Xi Lian's physical meme body, and was physically attracted to her body, so she naturally wouldn't refuse Xi Lian's invitation.

So, Danlei could only run to huddle with Luosigumu for warmth.

As for Danheng and the Golden Descendant, the conversation here has been censored ever since the Black Tower questioned Xilian's identity.

Dan Heng and Huang Jinyi could see what Dan Lei and the others were saying, but they couldn't hear the content at all.

Later, Xi Lian started hugging and cuddling with Hei Ta and Ruan Mei, and her voice returned to normal during the tea party.

The Golden Clan members had no interest in the tea party; they were only interested in knowing the fate of Bai E.

However, the atmosphere on Dan Lei's side made it difficult for them to interrupt. Dan Heng, who was able to speak, adopted a cold and aloof demeanor, not wanting to get involved in Dan Lei's family affairs.

After a lot of playful fighting, when the video of the destruction of the subspace was played later (the part where Dan Lei tested Xi Lian at the end was deleted), Xi Lian successfully got the treatment of sitting between the two geniuses, with one on each side.

Danlei, the master, was abandoned by both his wife and the spirit of the artifact. When he wanted to experience warmth, he could only ask the screw Gumu next to him to release the heat from the power grate of his body.

Of course, all of the above is a joke. Even Dan Lei, looking back at the continuous battle he faced more than three hours ago from his own perspective, still felt a sense of dread.

Danlei felt that he had truly been driven to the brink of despair, daring to tear apart Nanuk's Great Lord of Annihilation right in front of him.

Despite Bai'er's ability to inflict damage on Nanuk, he ultimately used the power of destruction.

Even though Bai'er was hostile to Nanuk, Nanuk still treated him as one of his own.

Within a beast horde, a young member challenging the Beast King's position is entirely different from an outsider challenging the Beast King.

Moreover, Danlei didn't just come to fight Nanuk; he intervened right in front of him to destroy the internal strife, beating up one of Nanuk's underlings and killing him in the process.

Finally, he also declined the on-site recruitment offer from the owner of [Nanook].

Dan Lei felt that his behavior was more than just rude; it was down to slapping Nanuk across the face with a slipper. It was a classic case of not causing any real harm, but being extremely insulting.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Dan Lei's behavior is equivalent to forcibly kissing a robin in front of God's Sunday; maliciously injuring Bai Heng in front of Jing Liu; and Void Repository impersonating Otto and running up to Welt to say he wants to be his father.

In other words, Nanuk has lost most of his humanity and no longer cares about saving face.

If it were any other powerful opponent, they would probably have used their ultimate move directly on Dan Lei.

Anyway, after watching the video, everyone who knew what "Nanook" meant, except for Nguyen Mai and Tse Lien, looked at him with the expression of looking at a warrior.

In this battle, Bai E was brave, but Dan Lei was not much weaker.

Of the remaining two, Xi Lian, needless to say, had an expression that said Dan Lei was the best.

Ruan Mei's words and her cold gaze made Dan Lei feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Even if his reckless behavior was part of Bai E's involvement, he couldn't escape the consequences.

But Nguyen Mai certainly wouldn't let him off easily.

However, being reprimanded is something that should be delayed as long as possible.

When the video ended, Dan Lei asked directly.
"Okay, now everyone knows what I went through in the last three hours."

Now, can anyone tell me what you have gained during this month in the Temple of Immortality?

Upon hearing Dan Lei's question, Luo Sigumu, who had already noticed Dan Lei sweating under Ruan Mei's gaze, promptly echoed Dan Lei's words.
"Danlei, it's a pity that we've gained very little in the Temple of Immortality this past month."

Dan Lei was very surprised by this. He wouldn't be surprised if Black Tower and Screw Aunt joined forces and stripped all the external defenses of Scepter δ-me13 in a month.

As a result, Screwgoom said he had gained almost nothing.

Seeing the question in Dan Lei's eyes, Hei Ta stepped forward to explain.
"For the past month, I have devoted most of my energy to tracking down your whereabouts."

Who would have thought that you were drawn into the subspace created by the power of Nanuk?

This scepter is filled with the destructive power of the Iron Tomb, and that Ragus is using his administrator privileges to continuously infect the computing power extending from the Temple of Immortality.

We were completely unable to detect that Nanuk's gaze had opened a subspace within the system.

However, we can be certain of one thing now.

To solve the Iron Tomb, it's not enough to just focus on internal issues.

The intervention of the Harmonious Fate Path has now been dealt with by Lai Gushi. Although Sluggum took advantage of his modification process to forcibly revert the Iron Tomb's birth progress by 5%, it can only support one more cycle.

Moreover, the fate of the same harmony may have already been exploited by the ancients, enhancing the power of the Iron Tomb.

Therefore, I think we need more people to participate in the campaign against the Iron Tomb, attacking it from both inside and outside, so that we can completely destroy it.

Black Tower's opinion had clearly been discussed with Screw Gum, and he agreed on the spot.

"I think Black Tower's proposal is fine. To break through Iron Tomb's firewall from the outside, we need more people and more geniuses."

Therefore, Black Tower and I decided to temporarily withdraw from Onfaros and seek help from other forces.

However, during this period, we can still communicate with the Temple of Immortality through the data body.

In addition, I actually made a small prop using limited materials this month—a prop that can show the time difference between inside and outside.
