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

Chapter 501 Krydella: "Dragon God, I will ride you."

Ruan Mei declined to comment on the Black Tower's cake, since Dan Lei was there anyway. Even if it were the size of a planet, he could swallow it whole in his dragon form without wasting a drop.

Therefore, Ruan Mei readily agreed to the request to see the system for debugging, and even wanted to add some of her own technical skills to give [Bo Shi Zun] a check-up.

Dan Lei is unaware that his two wives are up to something again, and have set their sights on [Bo Shizun].

However, even if he knew, Danlei wouldn't stop him.

The Iron Tomb is specifically designed to target [Erudite].

Dan Lei didn't believe that [Bo Shi Zun] was unaware of the existence of the Iron Tomb, but it remained silent for a long time.

In fact, Dan Lei was also very curious and wanted to ask [Bo Shi Zun] how he viewed the Iron Tomb, or whether it had started to fight between its left and right brains again because of the struggle between geniuses.

However, the geniuses will handle the matter of [Bo Shi Zun], and Dan Lei doesn't want to spend too much energy on it.

In particular, this marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Onfaros.

After the Eye of Dawn and Dusk allied with Janusapolis, the eyes of the city-states surrounding Janusapolis suddenly became clear.

Janusapolis's main fighting force today is still the three hundred dragon riders left behind by Danlei a hundred years ago; the other soldiers are of average strength.

But the children of the sky, those with the eyes of dawn and dusk, are different.

Back when the internal conflicts among the three Sky Children were extremely intense, the Sky Children, together with the still rational Aigle, managed to fight to a draw against the attacks of Nicardoli and the Suspended Blade.

The Eye of Dawn Fortress existed until the end of the world in the previous cycle, so the news that Nicardoli destroyed Aigle's heavenly kingdom with a giant sword is obviously inconsistent with common sense in terms of the standard of "destruction".

Now, the people of the Sky of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk have welcomed a more powerful king and the Dragon God Danlei, a backer far stronger than Aigle.

Therefore, without Danlei even having to lift a finger, Seneos and Heather only needed to launch one attack, leading eight hundred winged cavalry, to defeat tens of thousands of elite troops of the Ladon people at the border of Yanusapolis.

For the other city-states of Onpharos, there were still too few armies capable of fighting the air. Nicardoli suffered greatly from the lack of anti-air firepower. Creatures like the Scourge Hunter were created specifically for magical beasts.

After defeating Ladon's army, Seneos and Heather did not give up and led their troops to launch an air raid on Ladon's main city, causing them great suffering.

Therefore, the Ladonites had no choice but to seek help from Kerudela, who had already occupied Ohma.

Krydela knew that Janusapolis was a problem she would have to face sooner or later when she conquered the world, so the Ladonians reached some agreements.

[The Broken Blade] Rabinus led his army straight towards Janusapolis.

Meanwhile, with the Eye of Dawn and Dusk allied with Janusapolis, the City of Suspended Blade, which was originally opposed to Ohma, naturally set its sights on Janusapolis.

However, at this time, Suspended City did not have Nicardoli as its backer, because he was currently defending against the Black Tide at the edge of the world.

Heather confirmed this before running out of the sea to seek refuge with Danlei.

Therefore, Xuanfeng City did not act impulsively enough to attack the Dawn and Dusk Eye, which Dan Lei had clearly stationed there. Instead, it moved Xuanfeng City to the vicinity of the border to demonstrate its presence.

Senius and Heather knew very well that unless it involved the Titans, Danlei would not directly participate in the fighting between the Onpharos, at most he would save a few people.

Therefore, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops to prevent Janusapolis from being attacked from both sides by Ohma and Suspended Peak.

After Seneos and Heather returned to the city, Ohma's army withdrew directly from the border without saying a word.

Afterwards, Tining returned to Janusapolis using the Hundred Realms Gate, and then Tibao took the initiative to ask to meet Danlei.

Dan Lei knew that Tirispeius in this cycle had made a choice, just like her counterparts in other cycles.

Clearly, Tirispyos chose Crydella as the leader of the Fire Chasing Journey, so Tibo is probably here to speak on Crydella's behalf.

Danlei then agreed to the meeting.

Soon, Tibo arrived at Danlei's garden outside his residence in the Eye of Dawn, led by Titi.

After Titi left, seeing Titi's conflicted expression, Danlei invited her to sit down and have a drink, and said...

"Tibao, don't overthink it. Just say what you want to say."

"Here, have a cup of hot cocoa. The sweetness can relieve anxiety."

Seeing that Danlei was still as kind as he had been a hundred years ago, Tibao smiled, sat down, took a sip of cocoa, hesitated for a moment, and then said...
"My Lord Dragon God, I have come here on behalf of Caesar Crydella of Deohma to deliver a message."

She asked me to connect you with her through Tinning so we could meet in person.

She believes... believes you shouldn't get too involved in matters between ordinary people.

If you really want to participate, then participate fully. This current behavior of advancing the fire-chasing journey while occupying space without taking action is not good.

Tibo's words were clearly tactful.

Based on the historical records left by Ohma in the previous cycle, and combined with what he has seen and heard in this cycle, Danlei can imagine Krydella cursing him for occupying the toilet without doing his business.

Therefore, Dan Lei wasn't angry; he simply said calmly.
“That little girl, Kerudela, what gives her the right to direct my actions?”

Why should I explain to her what I'm doing?

Danlei's words ended the conversation abruptly, leaving Tibao speechless for a moment.

However, this was something Tibo could have foreseen.

Krydella rarely compromises.

Although Danlei was easy to talk to, Kerudela's behavior was taking advantage of his kindness, so he naturally wouldn't let her get away with it.

However, after a century of travel, Tibo had developed her own understanding of the prophecy of chasing fire, so she still said...
"My Lord Dragon God, I think you should meet with Cerrudra."

I believe she is the key to the journey to the fire.

If you're not prepared to personally lead the fire-chasing journey, you should definitely meet her.

When Danlei saw that Tibao insisted on meeting with Krydella, he remained silent for a few seconds before deciding to give her the courtesy.

Although Dan Lei was certain that without Xing and others' intervention, his meeting with Krydella would most likely escalate into a major conflict.

But if you keep avoiding them, you'll seem like a coward.

The key point is that he's following the path of change, and there's no reason for everything to proceed according to the original schedule. So, after a few seconds of silence, Dan Lei said...

“If she has the courage to meet me alone, then you can now ask Tinning to open a door for her.”

Out of admiration for her courage, I will patiently listen to her for a few words.

Danlei agreed to meet, and Tibao immediately closed her eyes to communicate. A dozen seconds later, a Hundred Realms Gate opened in the courtyard, and Kerudela, who was short in stature but looked like she was "not happy and wanted to fight ten of them," walked out.

After Kerudela stepped out of the Hundred Realms Gate, she looked around at her surroundings, then gave Danlei a standard diplomatic salute and said...

"Kerudela, Lord of the Ohmar Alliance, greets Your Majesty the Dragon God."

Seeing that Keludela was quite polite, Dan Lei naturally wouldn't be aggressive from the start, but instead calmly said...

"Keldela? That's just a name someone gave you."

Lord of the Ohma Alliance, do you still remember your original name?

When Kerudela heard Danlei ask about her original name, she assumed Danlei was implying that her current status was due to impersonation. So, she put her hand to her chest, walked up to Danlei, and said seriously...

"My name is Crydella. The titles given to me by the world are meaningless. I am Crydella!!"

Seeing that Keludela suddenly became excited, Dan Lei immediately laughed.

"Interesting. He's young, but he has quite a temper."

"I have no objection to you giving up your old name, but it's a pity, the name Funinna is quite nice." Dan Lei didn't know Krydella's original name, but as an extraterrestrial, Dan Lei knew that when the Star Iron Universe officially released other Mi-type universe counterparts, they would often use homophones with different characters, or insert an extra character into the name to name the new character.

Therefore, regardless of what Krydella's real name was in the past, it is inevitable that her name contains the character "Frinna" or is a name with a similar pronunciation.

Clearly, Dan Lei guessed correctly. When he uttered the name Fu Ningna, Dan Lei was certain that Ke Ludela's pupils contracted involuntarily, confirming that he had guessed correctly.

However, Danlei did not continue discussing Ludela's real name, but instead gestured to the chairs at the table.

"I have no intention of using your past name and identity to make a fuss."

You pay a price for trading with Tarranton for Goldblood.

You have achieved what you have today through your courage and wisdom. I will not deny the efforts you have made to get to where you are today because of your background.

So sit down. I'll listen to what you have to say and see just how far your ambitions have swelled.

Danlei's acknowledgment of Krydella's achievements clearly changed Krydella's opinion of Danlei.

So she stopped showing anger, obediently pulled out a chair and sat down, took a sip of the drink Dan Lei had poured, and complained with some surprise.

"I originally thought that the so-called Dragon God must be a high and mighty deity."

Even if it's not the kind of being that looks down on all living beings, it's still the kind of god that refuses to show itself and remains mysterious.

At the very least, he's surrounded by beautiful women and the center of attention.

Surprisingly, the Dragon God's residence had no servants at all; he had to pour drinks himself.

Furthermore, what they were drinking was neither tea nor alcohol, but a sweet beverage called cocoa.

"As a deity, you seem a bit too down-to-earth."

Danlei showed no embarrassment at Krystal's evaluation, taking a sip of cocoa and saying...

“Kerudela, there’s nothing strange about that.”

Once you reach a certain level of strength, there's no need to put yourself on a pedestal; just do whatever makes you comfortable.

If someone does say something behind my back because I don't have a grand entrance, I don't really care.

The strong will not feel offended by a few sarcastic remarks from the weak; they will only find it funny.

Of course, if they cross the line, just run them over.

As soon as Danlei said this, Kerudela immediately retorted.

"Lord Dragon God, are you referring to me as the weak?"

To this question, Dan Lei answered without hesitation.

"I'm not specifically referring to you, but you are indeed a weakling in my eyes."

When Dan Lei said this, he was already prepared for Keludela to stand on the chair and "look down" at him, declaring that he was not the weak one.

However, in reality, Krydella was not excited at all, and seemed to agree with Danlei's statement.

However, after taking another sip of cocoa, Krystra said...

"My Lord Dragon God, it is true that I am weaker than you."

But in Onphalus, are you truly so invincible that you can do whatever you want?

Faced with Krystal's questioning, Danlei immediately understood her meaning and smiled.
“Cerudela, I know what you are testing.”
Judging from your expression, some guy hiding in Dawn Cloud Cliff has already told you something, hasn't he?

Kerudela did not deny it, and nodded.
"Yes, the Antikythera man who claimed to be a divine audience described to me an infinite world called the universe."

He told me that Onphalus is a world that walks the path of destruction.

He said I could lead the beings of Onphalus to slay the Creator God in the name of Caesar, ride the behemoth called the Iron Tomb, and conquer all the outer realms.

And you, the prophesied dragon god, want to stop all of this from happening.

The so-called saving of Onpharos means removing Onpharos's limits and turning this world into an ordinary one.

Crydella's words surprised Danlei. This guy, Laigushi, actually took the initiative to reveal the existence of the Iron Tomb to Crydella.

It's important to know that in this cycle, Danlei strictly forbids Titi and Saifeier from telling the locals the truth about the world.

Fearing that the worship of the Suspended Man would cause conflict, they created a destructive sect that worshipped the Iron Tomb.

After all, there are quite a few madmen in the universe who have destroyed their faith.

Danlei couldn't understand these people's thought processes, but he had to admit that these kinds of people were common among humans.

However, Dan Lei believes that the reason why the Iron Tomb would not be revealed by the Ledger is because he felt that the Ledger would not actively affect the progress of the experiment.

But now it seems that his decision to proactively confess his involvement in the experiment to Crydella proves that he believed Crydella was indeed someone who could influence the success or failure of his experiment.

Therefore, intervention must be carried out before Danlei affects Keldera.

Since Lai Gushi had already made the first move, Dan Lei naturally responded.

"In principle, the Antikythera man you mentioned is not lying."

He simply downplayed the important points and told the part of the truth that you'd like to hear.

Of course, I have my doubts about his claim that you can control the Iron Tomb.

Danlei's answer made Kerudela smile.

The silence Danlei uttered while thinking about these words spoke volumes to Krydela.

She is now certain that she has value, that she has value that makes Danlei and Laigushi compete with each other.

Given this, Kerudela is confident that she can turn the tables.

Her biggest fear was that Danlei would treat her like an ant and completely disregard her reactions.

Whether it's resistance or submission, if Danlei doesn't care what he does, then all his plans are meaningless.

The principle is the same as Dan Lei said earlier: the strong don't need to care about the weak; if they cross the line, they can just crush them.

But now that Krydela has realized her importance, Danlei can't really just crush her like that.

So, she decisively stood on the chair and announced from a "superior" position.

"I've made up my mind. I want the Iron Tomb, and I also want you, the Dragon God."

I will command you all and conquer all the realms beyond the heavens.

　Some online believe that Crydella's deal with Tarranton took place after she obtained the Fire of the Law.

　　This view is incorrect.

　　Although there is no written document specifying the timing of the transaction between Ruthela and Tarranton.

　　However, 110 years passed between the Liberation War of Lyqua in 3851 and the Siege of Janusapolis in 3960. Ceredra obtained the Fire of Law.

　　If Krydella hadn't transformed into a Golden Blood during the Lyquae liberation war, she wouldn't have survived this long.

　　Moreover, her body hadn't grown at all during this time. It turned out that she had already made a deal with Tarranton before the Liberation War of Luqua, exchanging her body's eternal aging for golden blood.
