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

Chapter 91 The Great Temple Raid (5000)

The process of Dan Lei and his two companions entering the Quantum Sea rift went very smoothly. No matter how daring Oswaldo was, sneaking away was the limit.

Because when the Immortal Boat Alliance and the Interstellar Peace Company cooperated, there was indeed no agreement that the two parties must explore the ruins together.

But if the Interstellar Peace Corporation dares to obstruct the Immortal Boat Alliance's exploration, then the nature of the matter will change.

It should be noted that, in terms of military strength, although the Immortal Ship Alliance suffered losses after this battle, it was entirely within acceptable limits.

The Interstellar Peace Corporation fleet has already been decimated, not to mention the difference in combat power between the two sides, which is equivalent to two True Commander-level forces. If the Immortal Ship Alliance is truly angered, it would be normal for Oswaldo to die today.

Therefore, Dan Lei's star raft plunged into the crevice without any hindrance.

The next second, Danlei found himself in a wasteland, with the Star Chariot landing about a kilometer away. Sand Gold and Toppa could not see him for the time being.

Using his memory and destiny to enhance his spiritual power, Dan Lei cast a detection spell and discovered that the two were not within three kilometers. He immediately summoned the clones of Sasaki Kojiro and Li Tongchen through the spirit origin backup in the Holy Grail. After giving them several sacs and gems containing counterfeit magic, Dan Lei made them spirits.

Then, Danlei released the spirits of Skarachabaz, which grew to the size of whales, and then had them hang on Skarachabaz's insect legs in a spirit form.

In this way, the aura of Skarakkabaz's spirit will mask the aura of the Heroic Spirit clone. Not to mention that Sand Gold and Toppa do not have specialized spiritual entity scanning methods, even if they did, it would be very difficult for them to detect them.

The heroic spirit clones of Sasaki Kojiro and Li Tongchen are the ones who carried out the theft of the tail structure fragments from Taizyuros by Dan Lei.

Once inside the temple, they will follow the route that Danlei extracted from Skarakkabaz's memories and head straight for the sealed area in the center of the temple, where Danlei will actually lead Sand Gold and Toppa on an adventure.

At that time, Sasaki Kojiro and Lee Tong-sung, the two Assassins, will infiltrate and help him properly remove the tail structure fragments of Taizyuros.

As for how to take it out, that depends on whether the phage sac can be used.

The remains and creations of the Star God are unlike anything else in the universe.

Even if a envoy is powerful in life, once they die and lose the blessing of destiny, their remains are still just mortal objects.

The Star God is different; whether a body representing a destiny can enter the Devouring Pouch is uncertain. Therefore, several plans have been prepared for Sasaki Kojiro and Li Tongcheng to use when the time comes.

After Dan Lei boarded Skarakabaz's spirit, he first went to the Starship and used the Large Space Devouring Pouch to retrieve it, and then directly ascended to the high sky.

Soon, two signal flares, one yellow and one red, rose up around them.

This was something Danlei had agreed upon with Topa and Shajin beforehand.

According to Fu Xuan's intelligence, the distance that the people who entered the Quantum Sea Rift together would land after being teleported would not be too far, so the whale-sized Skarakkabaz would naturally be discovered immediately as soon as it took off.

At this point, all Dan Lei needs to do is fire a signal flare, and he will know where the two are.

Following Sand Gold and Toppa, Danlei immediately sent Skarakabaz to the central temple.

After entering the area within ten kilometers of the temple, Dan Lei and his two companions could see people and spaceships from the Interstellar Peace Company all the way.

Furthermore, some people mistook Skarakkabaz's spirit for a remnant insect in this space and attacked it immediately.

To be honest, the expeditions Oswaldo sent in were not armed with heavy weapons; the cannons on those ships couldn't even break through the life force surrounding the spirit of Skarakkabaz.

As for impact, Skarakkabaz in his spirit form can ignore all physical damage without special energy.

Moreover, Dan Lei is not one to stand idly by. When he encounters a ship attacking him, he immediately uses his Hunting Fate Path to unleash several Five Thunder Talismans to strike the ship's propellers, shooting it down.

Considering that Interstellar Peace Corporation is still an ally, Dan Lei will refrain from finishing off the crew. Whether the people inside the spaceship survive after the crash depends on their own fate.

However, as soon as Dan Lei made his move, Interstellar Peace Company discovered that there were people on the suddenly appearing bugs. Upon closer inspection, they found, to their surprise, two directors of P44 from different companies. What a mess!

Yes, although the feud between the Strategic Investment Department and the Market Development Department has been going on for a while, it is ultimately a conflict between the upper management. What does it have to do with the lower and middle-level staff in the Market Development Department, who are around P20 to P30?

A higher rank can be incredibly intimidating. They are at least a dozen ranks lower than those in the Toppa and Alluvial gold industries, and even if they are from opposing departments, they are still not to be trifled with.

As for those unlucky guys who were shot down earlier, they deserved to die for firing on their superiors.

After discovering who was sitting on the bug, the Interstellar Peace Corporation immediately notified all its forces, so no one attacked afterward.

Wherever Skarakabaz's spirit went, the ships and people of the Interstellar Peace Corporation scattered like birds and beasts.

This situation continued until Danlei and the others reached the airspace above the temple.

By this time, the area around the temple was filled with people from the Interstellar Peace Corporation. Oswald had clearly recruited some scholars from the Academy of Knowledge. From the sky, one could see many scholars scanning the temple with various instruments, trying to find the entrance.

Of course, a large number of scholars were also studying the unknown blue object blocking the road at the gap that Skarakabaz had destroyed, and even used the imaginary energy cutter.

However, the cutter was ineffective on the hardened secretions of Skarakabaz, and after half a day it only made a groove of about ten centimeters, without breaking through at all.

Seeing this, Danlei said to Topa and Sand Gold
“We need to get inside through this opening, but I don’t want to benefit others by attacking your colleagues. Do you have any objections?”

Faced with Danlei's demand to fight against their own people, Sajin and Topa didn't actually feel too much pressure.

However, alluvial gold still said...
"Boss, hitting people is fine, but killing them is not. The people below are all workers; there's no need to kill them."

Since Dan Lei wasn't a bloodthirsty person to begin with, he agreed.
"No problem, but they need to get at least two hours of sleep. Are you sure you can handle that?"

Danlei had barely finished speaking when Topa pulled out a briefcase and said...

"I brought tranquilizer darts, which were originally intended for the pets on my satellite, since some of the kids there are sometimes a bit naughty."

Although it's for veterinary use, if you administer it to a human and control the dosage properly, it can definitely make them sleep for two hours.

"But Danlei, even if we take care of this group, what about the people behind us after we go in? You can't just leave someone blocking the entrance."

Dan Lei replied that it was no big deal; everyone here was an ordinary person, and even the Destiny Walkers were only of average strength. He could easily make them wander around in circles in the passage he had created with a few illusion arrays and trapping arrays.

By the time they broke through all the illusion and trapping formations, he had already left with the fragments of Taizyuros.

The rest was easy. Although Danlei had never studied veterinary medicine, he could still prepare a veterinary anesthetic that would make someone dizzy for two hours based on the parameters.

Afterwards, the three appeared as if by divine intervention, quickly subduing everyone and putting them into a peaceful sleep.

Then, Dan Lei, with a touch of childish eccentricity, issued commands to the spirit of Skarakkabaz.
"Skarakabaz, use the pyrolysis death ray!"

However, as soon as Danlei gave the order, Shajin stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait, the boss is going to use the power of the messenger? Are you sure you can control it? Otherwise, I'll have to keep watch for you and Toppa."

Sand Gold's words instantly interrupted Dan Lei's control over Skarakabaz, and then he and Topa stared at Sand Gold with fierce eyes.

Sand Gold realized he had offended both of them at once, and immediately broke out in a sweat as he explained.
"Don't be angry, I'm just worried about your mental state, boss."

As for Toppa, it's just an example, an example.

However, Dan Lei replied with a cold laugh.
“Gold, you’d better pray I don’t go berserk. When it comes to reproduction, gender isn’t such a strict rule. If the time is right, they can split on their own, so same-sex reproduction is no problem.”

After Danlei finished speaking, Shajin suddenly felt a tightness in his rear and said awkwardly.

"Boss, you're kidding, right?"

However, Danlei said very seriously at this moment.
"I personally don't have this hobby, but after going on a rampage, I can't control myself. I was just saying it was a possibility."

After speaking, Dan Lei once again controlled Skarakabaz's soul to begin condensing the reproductive destiny power of the Envoy level.

In fact, after nearly going berserk last time, Dan Lei had roughly estimated his threshold for enduring the power of the Envoy-level reproductive destiny, and he was not so likely to go berserk.

After all, Danlei wasn't the kind of idle scholar who would spend his days in brothels and listening to music. Even if he needed a partner, he would choose carefully. Topa was certainly qualified in terms of ability, appearance, figure, and character, but she was a workaholic. A woman who could genuinely say "work makes people happy" was someone Danlei knew he couldn't afford to mess with.

It's important to know that even the geniuses in the genius club have their own hobbies and interests, and they don't let research take up all their time.

Moreover, Topa herself didn't have those kinds of feelings for Danlei, which can be seen from the fact that she and Sand Gold hid 800 meters away from the rocks after Danlei started controlling Skarakabaz's spirit to charge up.

Since Dan Lei can only safely withstand a limited amount of the power of the Envoy-level reproductive destiny, he doesn't dare to challenge his own threshold right away.

Therefore, the pyrolysis death ray unleashed by Skarakabaz's spirit had a very short charging time and a diameter of only one or two meters, which was incomparable to the beam of light from his main body that was capable of instantly shattering a planet.

However, the power of this beam has not actually decreased much; the main reductions are in its range and diameter.

When the blue substance secreted by Skarakabaz encountered its own ultimate move, it was instantly dissolved, creating a large opening large enough for three people to walk side by side, revealing a deep passage inside.

Sasaki Kojiro and Li Tongcheng's heroic spirit clones seized the opportunity to enter directly and headed straight for the central sealing chamber.

Danlei pretended nothing had happened and started calling for Shajin and Topa to come back quickly.

Then, Danlei began his campaign to stall for time.

First, after passing through the disgusting blue slime area, Dan Lei spent a full ten minutes setting up illusion and trapping formations.

However, this had been agreed upon beforehand, so neither Sand Gold nor Toppa had any doubts.

However, immediately after Danlei cast the illumination spell, he had Toppa summon Zhang Zhang.

"Topa, quickly summon Zhang Zhang. This is a temple built by the City Builders during the global locust plague, and it was used to seal the fragments of Taizyuros. There must be other valuable treasures inside, such as leftover high-level materials from the construction of the temple, or sacrificial items."

Upon hearing this, Topa asked in confusion.

"What, Danlei, aren't we just going to find the remains of Taiziyuros? Are we going to go treasure hunting?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei looked at him as if to say, "Are you stupid?" and directly replied...
"Of course, if we find the remains of Taizyuros, we have to hand them over. We won't get any benefits except for being the first to look at and touch them."

However, before handing it over, anything we found in the temple, as long as it wasn't discovered by others, was ours.

We definitely need to make sure we're well-fed before we start working.

Danlei's words made some sense to Sand Gold and Toppa. If they only found the remains of Taizyuros and took them out, the remaining treasures in the temple would most likely be sold to Oswal.

For Sand Gold and Toppa, watching this guy make money is more painful than losing money themselves, so naturally they can't let him get away with it so easily.

So Toppa immediately released Zhang Zhang, and not long after they went deeper, Zhang Zhang smelled the scent of treasure.

Because the builders of this temple sealed the remains of Taizyuros and primarily defended against insect swarms, many of the traps inside are not effective against humans.

When they encountered Dan Lei and the other two powerful travelers on their destiny paths, their paths were quickly broken one by one.

Then, Dan Lei and the other two arrived at a room filled with ore.

This should be a material storage room. At this moment, half of the space is filled with various colored crystals containing energy, as well as many unknown material stones that have remained sturdy despite being washed by countless years.

However, as soon as the three entered the room, they immediately discovered that many of the crystals on the ground had somehow grown legs and moved away.

Dan Lei used his magic to grab a piece of crystal that could move in mid-air. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was actually an insect, a living insect whose entire body was formed from energy crystals.

Seeing this, Danlei quickly guessed how this insect was born, and then exclaimed in amazement.

"I've long heard that during the locust plague, wherever the Star God Taizyuros went, even a stone would be turned into an insect."

Unexpectedly, even after this guy died, a fragment of his body still had this function.

This insect was clearly created by Skarakkabaz after he destroyed the seal on the Taizyuros fragment, and was affected by the energy passively leaking from the fragment, evolving into an insect that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

Dan Lei's theory is correct, because during the swarm's hibernation, the Taizyuros fragment that sustains the swarm's life will naturally affect all objects in this space.

The energy crystals piled up in this warehouse are rich in energy and are more likely to be activated into insects.

So, Danlei read the insect's memories without hesitation, learned its diet, and then decisively captured a few more to make familiars. He then said to Topa and Sandgold...

"Aren't you two going to catch a few? These kinds of insects don't exist outside. I just read their memories; they only need to be fed metal to survive, so they're relatively easy to raise."

Moreover, these insects are naturally drawn to energy-rich metals and have excellent digging abilities, making them promising candidates for mineral exploration and treasure hunting.

When Danlei mentioned this, Topa became interested. She had always enjoyed collecting various small pets, and these crystal bugs were quite attractive, so she took out her capture cage and caught more than a dozen of them in one go.

As for the gold dust, he wasn't interested in these insects, and he also disliked the inferior quality of the crystals on the ground, so he didn't take anything.

According to him, the further you go in, the more good things you'll find, so there's no need to rush.

But Dan Lei didn't care about any of that. After selecting the gold dust and topaz, he put all the remaining crystals and stones into his Devouring Pouch at once. He didn't mind that these things were low-grade. Even if he couldn't process them again, he could still use the stones to build walls.

After her first success, Topa became much more motivated.

So Danlei led the three of them to search the city builders' rest room, canteen, chapel, and several warehouses.

As we walked further in, even the clothes of the sand gold planter were filled with various stones and props.

After all, in order to seal the insect swarm here, these city builders cut off their escape route, and naturally, the people and their possessions were left here forever.

However, upon entering a new storage room, Danlei's gaze immediately fell upon a large, seemingly ordinary "stone".

This "stone" is the ultimate goal of Danlei's trip: a fragment of the tail structure of Taiziyuros.

Yes, while Danlei was searching for treasure with Sand Gold and Toppa, the two heroic spirit clones had already arrived at the central sealing chamber.

And as expected, the Devouring Sac was unable to contain the amber crystal that sealed the remains of Taizyuros.

Therefore, following Danlei's previous orders, the two Heroic Spirit clones used a gem that contained a counterfeit magic.

As mentioned before, Kripper's sealing crystal for the Taizyuros remains is very stable, so applying a layer of mud and completely covering it will not cause any problems.

Then, the fake magic will work on the soil.

Dan Lei's forgery magic has now transformed the sealed crystal into a stone. Unless there are special detection methods, people whose magic skills are not as high as Dan Lei's will not be able to see that the stone is different.

Then the two heroic spirit clones placed the disguised stone in a nearby storeroom, since the terrain there wasn't too complicated and it was easy to find.

However, to go all the way in an act, Dan Lei didn't immediately head straight for the seemingly ordinary "stone".

Instead, he searched for treasures in the warehouse with the gold dust and topaz.

Finally, during Danlei's routine sweep, he deliberately staged the unusual phenomenon that the Devouring Sac could not store the stone.

Since no brute-force method was used, the researchers studied the gold and topaz for a long time but couldn't find any problems with the stones.

Therefore, Danlei simply let Skarakabaz's spirit carry the stone.

According to Dan Lei, this stone is so strange that if we take it out for research, we might find it to be some ancient, rare treasure that we could make a fortune.
