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

Chapter 536 Extra Chapter (Part 1): A Prayer from an Old Friend
Beyond the world, within the immortal subspace, Danlei, now a star god, is using his powers to search for planets in the universe.

Dan Lei's search for planets was not to spread his ideas to places without the worship of the Star God. It was purely because after ascending to godhood, Dan Lei discovered that the previous immortal Star God, [Dragon], seemed to have left him with a mess.

The prosperity of the Immortal Dragon Clan in those days is recorded in some of the scriptures of the Vidyadhara Clan.

It can be said that in ancient times, when the first batch of star gods were born, long before the first recorded period of prosperity, or even before the first recorded period of prosperity, the universe had already experienced a collective period of prosperity.

However, that was the age of dragons, where the direct descendants of those immortal dragons could traverse the universe with their powerful physical bodies.

Humans exist in the world merely as ordinary intelligent life forms beneath the enormous shadow of dragons.

Moreover, the fact that the Wisdom Clan created various foods while hiding in the Hot Sea was just a microcosm of the Dragonborn.

The one who loves creation the most, and who creates the most things, is none other than the ancestor of all dragons in the Heavenly Abyss, as mentioned by Chiming—the Immortal [Dragon].

After Dan Lei ascended to godhood, when he counted the number of immortal races in the universe using his bloodline senses, the sheer number of light points in the universe completely stunned him.

Dan Lei's first reaction was, "No, wasn't it said that Dragonborn were extremely rare in the universe? How come there are so many planets with Dragonborn?"

Dan Lei then carefully assessed the situation of these dragon descendants and was utterly speechless.

Dan Lei strongly suspects that the Immortal [Dragon] back then was just bored and had nothing better to do.

His daily work seems to consist of creating a few dragonborn races, granting them some power, and then creating a planet for them to live on to see if these creatures can achieve immortality after a period of time (measured in millennia, and often forgotten in the blink of an eye).

It's important to understand that the points of light that Danlei can sense now are only on planets where the immortal race still exists. Those that have perished or fled (such as Tang Hai of the Wisdom Clan) are not among these points of light.

The reason these dragon descendants went unnoticed is that the vast majority of them were outside the current universe and were not pulled into the wall by the Amber King.

It's estimated that [Cripper] thinks these planets are creations of the immortal [Dragon] and don't need his help at all.

Moreover, Danlei's perception only shows a dragon as long as there is one on the planet; the number of dragons appearing does not necessarily mean the number of dragons is large.

Now that Danlei has ascended to the position of Immortal Star God, he feels he should take some time to check if there is any hope left for the local dragon descendants, and save those who can be saved.

This process was quite tedious, but Danlei now had endless years to live, so he needed to do something to pass the time.

However, Danlei himself also had to bear the randomness of change. Just a few days after Danlei started working, he suddenly sensed someone praying for him.
"Star gods of the universe, whether it's [Cripper] or [Lan], is there anyone who can help me?"

Frankly speaking, someone who makes such a wish is definitely not a believer in any particular star god, or at least has no faith in them; they simply know that the star god exists.

Normally, such broad prayers, no matter how strong the praying person's spiritual power is, will not trigger the fate mechanism to be heard by the star gods.

The fact that Danlei could hear it proved that it was coming from a planet he was paying attention to.

Therefore, Dan Lei followed the sound and discovered that it was one of the first batch of immortal creation planets he was preparing to confirm.

Moreover, the person making the prayer is someone with whom you have a certain affinity, someone with whom you have a karmic entanglement.

Dan Lei then carefully looked toward the source of the distress call and saw a blonde, "spirited" young woman bound by several red energies, all of which had hands, making her look like she was being tied up.

Also bound were an artificial life form with an enormous physique and antlers, and a special artificial life form whose main body was composed of energy.

Besides the three bound people, a little further away, there was a human and a girl whose nature was similar to that of a spirit.

As for these people's enemy, from Dan Lei's perspective, it is a powerful Blood Sin Spirit.

However, this blonde "spirited" little sister does indeed have a connection with me, because she is the spirit of the descendant summoned by the star in the Pinocchio Holy Grail War.

After she won the Holy Grail War, her wish was to bring the memories of Pinocchio's journey back to her body, which is why she remembers the Star God.

Moreover, Teyvat is no ordinary planet; it was the very planet where the Immortal [Dragon] simulated fighting against the Void Force.

The Immortal [Dragon] simply plucked a black sun and placed it in an ambiguous location outside the Teyvat system.

When the power of nothingness collides with the immortal power of Teyvat itself, it erodes the immortal power and transforms it into a special energy imbued with knowledge, which gathers around the Teyvat system.

This power is now known as the Abyss in Teyvat.

The original planetary power left behind by the immortal [Dragon] is called the Light Realm Power.

Although the power of the Light Realm had been modified by the local natives and outsiders and divided into many different kinds of power at this time.

But in Danlei's view, they are all the same.

However, due to the fall of the immortal [Dragon], the primal power originating from immortality could no longer be drawn from the path of destiny.

Even if the planet's original power can be recycled, it will still diminish with each use.

Today, Teyvat has been corrupted to its very doorstep by the Abyss. If left unchecked, and if the creatures of Teyvat cannot find a way to draw life force from the Immortal Path again, the destruction of Teyvat is imminent.

The Immortal Path has now reopened, but its power attributes are different from those of the Immortal [Dragon] era.

Danlei restored the reproductive abilities of all Dragonborn, but this does not mean that all Dragonborn can unconditionally draw upon the power of the Immortal Path.

Currently, Danlei treats all mortals equally among the Immortal Path Walkers. There is no such thing as Danlei giving Dragonborn special access so that they can easily enter the Immortal Path.

If this is true for people, then planets are even more so.

Therefore, Teyvat is still in a survival crisis.

However, the planet's own characteristics greatly helped Ying's prayer reach Danlei's ears.

Now that Danlei knows Ying is calling for help, and this planet is still a problem left behind by the Immortal [Dragon], it would be unreasonable not to take action.

However, Danlei is now also bound by the concept of change. If he were to take action, Teyvat's fate would be sealed under the overwhelming power.

This does not conform to the principle of change in all things.

Therefore, even if Danlei wanted to help, he couldn't use violence to crush the enemy.

Time was instantly suspended by the Immortal Force, and Danlei's voice suddenly echoed in the Brain.

"Who was yelling for help? It was you, Ying."

Ying immediately recognized that the person responding to her was Danlei, and thinking that she had reconnected with the Holy Grail, she immediately said...

"Danlei! That's great, you've managed to contact Teyvat!"
Can I summon a Heroic Spirit? Or you could launch an attack similar to an Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse at the opposing Moon Hunters from across time and space.

Upon hearing Ying's words, Dan Lei immediately felt a black line appear on his forehead, wondering what the Moon Hunter had done to her to harbor such resentment. (When Dan Lei transmigrated, Genshin Impact was only version 5.4.)

However, Dan Lei was too lazy to check the planet's memory now, and simply said...

“I can’t help you directly, but I can ask the Star Train for help.”

Upon hearing that Dan Lei was unwilling to intervene, Ying became anxious and immediately retorted.
"Danlei, this is extremely urgent! By the time the Star Train arrives, everything will be cold."

Seeing that Ying clearly didn't understand the situation, Dan Lei smiled and explained.

"Ying, have you forgotten what kind of being you were praying to just now? Don't worry, there's plenty of time. Given your relationship with the stars, the Star Train will be here soon."

After saying that, Danlei continued to lock Teyvat time while, with a thought, he pulled Teyvat's [Ruler of Life] Rhinedot (Nabelis), [Ruler of Death] Ronava, [Ruler of Time] Ishtar, and [Ruler of Space] Asmodeus into a warp.

Subsequently, Dan Lei deliberately used the supreme will of the Star God to suppress the four rulers, saying...
"I am immortal, the owner of the planet."

"You four, the outsiders who drove out the life I created here and terraformed this planet, are now left to manage it, aren't you?"

After speaking, Dan Lei slightly relaxed his oppressive aura, allowing the four rulers to at least answer his questions.

However, at this time, the Teyvat IV regime was in a state of utter despair.

Their original strength is roughly equivalent to that of the ten members of the company's Stone Heart after their transformation, making them high-level Destiny Walkers with the power of command messengers.

This power of command is naturally a power bestowed upon them by the principles of Heaven.

However, Heavenly Justice is still asleep, and even if she were to wake up, she would be instantly crushed by the Star God.

For the Four Shadows of Heavenly Principle, now it's the backers of the Nibelungen who were defeated by Heavenly Principle who are causing trouble.

However, the War of the Dead that defeated Nibelungen was six thousand years ago. The Four Shadows just wanted to complain in their hearts, "Isn't Nibelungen's backing too slow to react?"
Besides, if you have a torch, why don't you call upon heaven and vent your anger on her? What's the point of bullying four working-class people like us?

However, the four shadows clearly didn't want to die yet. Among them, Ronawa, who had the best work ethic, could only answer Danlei's question with a forced smile.

"The supreme immortal beings, yes, nowadays, this planet is indeed managed by the four of us."

Are you returning to this planet?

When Jonawa said this, she was actually a little expectant, as this self-proclaimed immortal being was clearly much stronger than Tenri.

If you throw it fast enough, you might be able to use His power to remove the restrictions imposed on you by Heaven's laws.

Just as when the divine justice descended upon Teyvat, Nibelungen was not present, and the March of that time was won incredibly quickly.

So there's nothing to be ashamed of in surrendering now.

However, Ronawa was overthinking things; Danlei simply said slowly...

"I have no intention of returning to this planet; it is merely an experimental ground."

I find it very interesting that you expelled the original test subjects and voluntarily became the new test subjects.

So, I want to add some more variables to the world.

I called you here just to let you know.

You can communicate with the people I throw into Teyvat afterward, but you cannot stop their actions.

I promise that as long as this experiment achieves the results I want to see, you will be able to break free from your constraints and soar into the stars.

After saying that, Dan Lei's consciousness faded, leaving Si Ying to slowly digest what he had just said.

At this point, the camera shifts to the Starry Sky Train.

As Danlei communicated with the Teyvat Four Shadows using his immortal consciousness, Danlei's humanoid clone had already descended upon the Star Train Party Carriage.

When Danlei arrived, the Star Train was resupplying at a large port of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Due to widespread damage to cosmic orbits, the Star Train has been tirelessly traveling through various galaxies to reshape them.

This journey can hardly be considered pioneering. After arriving at a planet, the train would often only resupply for a few hours before immediately setting off for the next planet.

Therefore, Himeko and Welt still have the task of communicating with the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

During this period of time, Xinghe and March 7th could only surf the Internet and play games out of boredom, without any exploration missions.

On Sunday, after finishing organizing the Onfaros log in the think tank, Danheng and he also started playing chess every day to pass the time.

Dan Lei scanned the train and, after confirming that the Black Swan, the X factor that at least ensured the existence of the exploding planet, was no longer present as long as one comprehended the Way of Change, then revealed himself.

Danlei wasn't avoiding the Black Swan, of course. He didn't want to see her right now because he was afraid that if she went to Teyvat, she might actually attract the Void [Ⅸ] entity back.

After all, this person seems to possess some kind of blessing that even Dan Lei couldn't detect, and every time he participates in a major event, he manages to involve the Star God.

As soon as Dan Lei appeared, Xing keenly sensed that a new round of pioneering endeavors was on the horizon, so he rushed up and said...

"Danlei, what brings you here?"

"Is there something you need our help with? We know each other so well, just ask and I'll do it right away."

Seeing that Xing looked like she was about to burst, Dan Lei stopped teasing her and said directly...

"Xing, the problems I'm facing now are not something you can get involved in."

However, I am here today to ask for help for Ying.

She's in trouble in Teyvat, would you like to go check on her?

Upon hearing that it was Ying calling for help, Xing immediately patted his chest and said...
"Ying is in danger? Then it's my duty to help!"
"I'll go find the train conductor and Himeko right now and convince them to leave immediately!"

After saying that, Xing dashed out of the party carriage to find someone.

After Xing left, a more composed Zhou Ri took the initiative to step forward and ask...

"Dan Lei, could you tell me exactly what danger Miss Ying encountered? With your current abilities, can't you directly help her out of this crisis?"

Sunday's question clearly carried a hint of distrust, but Danlei didn't care; he was just being cautious.

So Danlei answered honestly.

"What Ying encountered was a crisis similar to the invasion of a planet by the void, and the enemy was similar to the Blood Sin Spirit, which could regenerate infinitely."

By using the power of the Star God, I can easily resolve Ying's crisis.

But this is not in accordance with the principle of change.

I hope the Star Train will enter Teyvat and bring change to this planet on the brink of destruction.

Whether it leads to accelerated destruction or rebirth from the ashes, I'd be happy to see it.

Of course, since I was the one who proactively sought help from the Starry Sky Train, I will cover for the Starry Sky Train.

I promise that no one on the Star Train will perish during this rescue operation.

If any train crew member dies, I will collect their souls and resurrect them after everything is over.
