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

Chapter 7 Summoning of Heroic Spirits
After Dan Lei learned that the Holy Grail, which he had already taken control of, could travel to other worlds, he immediately realized that it must have been given by either "Hu" or "Fu Li", or even by the two of them working together.

After all, Xing Tie's imaginary universe worldview is quite versatile. A galaxy is a world, and the so-called traversing worlds means traversing the unknown imaginary space between worlds, which is difficult to cross.

Of course, there are countless similar worlds in the universe, perhaps countless Earths and countless solar systems. After all, names are given by humans. The indigenous people call the planet under their feet Earth, and that is Earth.

Moreover, the similarity between worlds is a proven phenomenon in the Star Iron Universe. It is not surprising to encounter two people in the universe with the same name, almost identical personality and appearance, and even roughly the same life story. These are all normal phenomena.

So when Dan Lei traveled from Type-Moon to the Star Iron universe, he almost immediately accepted this fact, because he vaguely remembered that in his previous life, a timeline of Fate had officially announced a collaboration with Star Iron.

It's quite normal that if someone wishes to return home through the Roots, the Holy Grail runs out of energy halfway there and falls into the Star Iron Universe.

Now that the Holy Grail has been transformed into a "ship" by the Star God, it's quite normal for it to explicitly encourage him to travel to other worlds.

Okay, this is anything but normal. Anything blessed by the Star God is a treasure in any power in the Star Iron Universe. Now, it's being stuffed into one's own body. The two Star Gods, Balance and Memory, definitely have a purpose.

Although the Star God's purpose is easy to guess, "Hu" only wants to maintain the balance of the universe in various senses, while "Fuli" is only there to collect memories.

Dan Lei said that the latter was fine, he had a lot of information about the world in his mind, but very little detail, so it made sense that "Fu Li" wanted him to explore it.

However, Dan Lei stated that he had no right to influence the balance of the universe.

However, seeing the Holy Grail's ability to travel through time, Dan Lei still felt that he should at least try it once.

Only in this way can one know what time travel will bring.

Because they didn't know whether they were being transported by soul or body, or even how long the journey would take.

So Danlei first hung a sign on the workshop door saying he was in seclusion, so that at least no one would suspect anything if he disappeared for a few months.

After all, the people of Luofu are used to a slow-paced life, so it's quite normal for artisans to go into seclusion for a few months and not reappear.

After finishing, Dan Lei rummaged through his small warehouse and found a lot of weapons. Since Luo Fu did not prohibit weapons, everyone could carry weapons after a simple registration.

Moreover, Dan Lei hasn't just been holed up in the Prison all these years playing with puppets. He's also learned Cloud Chanting Technique and the fighting techniques of the Ten Kings Division for apprehending criminals. After all, according to the Ten Kings Division's promotion path, Dan Lei is destined to become a judge.

However, Dan Lei's fighting skills are only at a beginner level. If you randomly pick a regular Cloud Cavalry soldier on Luofu and fight him in pure hand-to-hand combat, Dan Lei would most likely lose.

So, after bringing a bunch of talismans, knives, and a large amount of compressed food, Dan Lei calmed himself down and activated the Holy Grail's teleportation function.

Just like when the Holy Grail took him away from the Type-Moon world, after activating the world travel function, the next second, a deep spatial hole appeared in front of him, and his consciousness was sucked in.

From the outside, it appeared that Dan Lei's entire body had been sucked into the hole, but apart from his clothes, nothing else he was carrying was taken in and left on the spot.

Dan Lei felt as if he had entered that time tunnel-like root passage once again.

However, this time, it only felt like a second or two before Dan Lei felt himself land.

After observing his surroundings, Danlei realized that he seemed to have been abandoned in a forest covered in snow.

However, Dan Lei was very certain that this was Earth, or rather, a planet with an environment very similar to Earth's.

Because, upon arriving here, Danlei sensed the Great Source, which he was very familiar with—the Great Source of Earth.

For a fleeting moment, Dan Lei even thought he had returned to the Type-Moon universe.

However, after careful perception, Dan Lei discovered that the Great Source of this planet seemed weaker than that of the Type-Moon universe. The quality of the free magic in nature was lower, but the quantity seemed to be much greater. It seemed that the number of cultivators on this planet, or rather, on this land beneath his feet, who could utilize the Great Source was probably not many.

Just as Dan Lei was studying the origin of this planet, he suddenly felt a scalding heat on his left hand, as if boiling water had been poured on it.

He raised his left hand and saw that three Command Seals had appeared directly on the back of his hand.

Upon seeing the Command Seals, Dan Lei immediately sensed the state of the Holy Grail.

Then I received both good news and bad news.

The good news is that the Holy Grail has fulfilled its basic function, allowing Danlei to summon Heroic Spirits using ley line energy.

However, the strength of the heroic spirit that can be summoned depends on the strength of the ley lines and Danlei's skill level.

The bad news is that the magic power in the Holy Grail responsible for traversing worlds is almost completely exhausted, and it can no longer help him travel back to the Star Iron Universe. He must replenish the Holy Grail's energy before he can return.

If the two times are synchronized, it's impossible to explain why someone could disappear for several years or decades without any reason.

Moreover, he hadn't brought any of his equipment with him; apart from clothes to cover his body, he had nothing on him.

However, Dan Lei is not worried about his safety at this moment. The state of the Great Source of this planet proves that it is unlikely that there will be monsters here that are above the True Ancestor of the Type-Moon Universe, and the average level of the monsters will be inferior to that of the Type-Moon Universe.

Moreover, Danlei can absorb magic power normally here, and the power of abundant destiny is not sealed.

While I dare not say that my combat power is comparable to when I borrowed the powers of Siegfried and Frankenstein at the same time, in terms of magic power, if I can regain my senses a little, I can be among the most talented magicians in the modern magician universe.

After all, he is now a genuine descendant of dragons.

It should be noted that Chengzi had already learned ordinary offensive spell arrays when teaching him how to create puppets. Without the constraints of magic, it would be no problem for Danlei to go to the Clock Tower to be evaluated as a Priest Array Mage.

After assessing his current combat strength, Danlei decided to summon the Heroic Spirits first.

After all, I am currently exploring an unknown world, and having multiple heroic spirits as bodyguards is always a good thing.

After wandering in the forest for a short while, Danlei encountered a deer, which further confirmed that this was indeed Earth.

The rest was simple: pick up a stone, use a strength-enhancing spell to boost your own power, and knock the deer unconscious with the stone.

Then find a ley line node with relatively abundant spiritual energy, level the ground, and draw a servant summoning circle with deer blood.

Since no artifacts were found at this point, Danlei immediately began chanting the incantation after completing the summoning circle.

(Everyone should be able to recite the lyrics by heart, so I won't pad the word count here. Please feel free to add more in the comments section.)

As the incantation was chanted, the summoning circle blazed with blue light. After the last note fell, a heroic spirit descended, wearing a sleeveless dark purple vest over a purple kimono, paired with a light-colored belt, and wielding a long katana.

His eyes seemed to gleam with a sharp light that could pierce through a person, as he spoke.

"Servant Assassin has arrived as summoned. Are you my Master?"
