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

Chapter 93 Ejihazo's Ripples Transform into Giant Waves Spreading Across the Universe (5000)

The harmonious atmosphere vanished the moment Oswaldo arrived.

Because, as soon as this thing got off the spaceship, it went straight for the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet on the head of Skarakkabaz's spirit.

As a former nobody, Oswaldo is quite capable; he could easily survive in the universe using the power of destiny.

So he rushed straight to the amber stone, his face contorted with fervor, and shouted into the makeshift communication network.
"Ah? How beautiful, how magnificent, this is the power of the King of Amber."

Oswaldo's statement is somewhat normal, after all, he is a fanatic of the Amber King, and his state of mind is understandable after seeing the miracle personally created by the Amber King.

Then, Oswaldo's next words made Danlei unhappy.

He exaggeratedly spread his arms wide upwards and said...

"My God, how could such a sacred object be tied to a piece of broken machinery, and even to an insect? This is blasphemy!"

Faced with Oswaldo's accusations, Danlei wasn't going to tolerate it and didn't bother to explain. He simply had Skarakkabaz's soul gather the power of its destiny to shake him off his insect body, and then said...

"If you despise insects, then don't stand on my soul."

Danlei had intended to embarrass Oswaldo, but Oswaldo's skills were better than Danlei had imagined.

Oswaldo's power to forge his destiny instantly amplified, allowing him to perform a stylish turn in space and land steadily on his spaceship. He then straightened his clothes and calmly addressed Dan Lei.
"Young people are impulsive, but that's a good thing. Having drive gives them a better chance to make a difference."

Dan Lei ignored Oswaldo's words, which seemed both praise and criticism, and instead turned to Jing Yuan to formally bow.

"General, I have successfully completed my mission. I have brought out the remains of the locust plague."

Seeing this, Jing Yuan also spoke very formally.

"Danlei, you've worked hard. I've prepared a celebration banquet. Come back to the ship with me."

Then, as soon as Jing Yuan finished speaking, Oswaldo immediately raised an objection.

"Wait, General Jingyuan, according to the agreement, no matter how much of the harvest from the temple you bring out, our Interstellar Peace Company will keep 20%."

I think the most urgent thing right now is to sort out and register the haul of Mr. Danlei, Mr. Shajin, and Ms. Topa.

Of course, you three have worked hard. You don't have to stay at the inventory site. Just leave your props behind and you can go and rest first.

Furthermore, please rest assured, the Interstellar Peace Company and the Immortal Boat Alliance will jointly supervise the inventory of your personal belongings. As for your personal items, I guarantee with my own integrity that no one will touch them, and they will be returned to you in perfect condition.

Oswaldo was cunning; he demanded that Danlei and his two companions unload all their belongings, hoping to salvage his losses.

First of all, the Interstellar Peace Company has already received its guaranteed returns. It owns a 20% stake in the Amber Stone that seals the fragments of Taizyuros, and will definitely develop and share the profits with the Immortal Boat Alliance in the future.

But this is only a safety net; it only guarantees that the company won't punish Oswaldo for the losses incurred in this war.

It's important to know that Oswaldo suffered heavy losses this time.

The loss of two-thirds of the fleet controlled by the Market Development Department was a major blow to his power.

In the universe, only those with the biggest fists have real power. Otherwise, Oswald, a P47, would have to think twice before speaking to company executives of the same or even P46 level.

Moreover, the scholars of the Erudite Society whom Oswaldo had bribed over the years, along with a large number of middle and lower-level employees, have now essentially all perished in the collapse of the quantum bubble.

If such a huge loss cannot be recovered quickly, this campaign led by Oswaldo will be a huge loss for him.

However, how could Danlei allow Oswaldo to seize his belongings? So he refused without hesitation.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Oswaldo, you may not be familiar with the rules of the Fairy Ship.”

The people of the Immortal Boat only make criminals hand over all their tools, so I will not accept this insult.

As for the inventory of the props, I think General Jingyuan will arrange that.

On this issue, Jing Yuan clearly sided with Dan Lei, and thus said to Oswaldo...
“Mr. Oswaldo, Dan Lei is right. The Immortal Boat Alliance will not confiscate all the items on a meritorious person, not even temporarily withhold them.”

However, to prevent Dan Lei and the other two from hoarding the spoils they brought from the ruins, after returning to the ship, General Fei Xiao and I would watch them empty out all the items from their storage containers and clean them up.

Meanwhile, Ms. Jade, an expert in appraising and identifying antiques, will also be on-site to supervise on behalf of Interstellar Peace Company, so you can rest assured.

Since Jing Yuan had spoken, and his proposed solution was within the rules, Oswaldo couldn't say much more.

However, he was not comfortable letting Emerald supervise, since Toppa and Sandstone were both her protégés whom she had personally promoted.

However, in front of Jing Yuan and Fei Xiao, Oswaldo couldn't show any distrust towards his allies' deputy, so he could only settle for second best.

"That works too. I'll take a seat on the Immortal Ship as well."

"The cooperation between Interstellar Peace Corporation and the Immortal Boat Alliance in this war has been very pleasant. The Immortal Boat Alliance's combat strength has left a deep impression on me. General Jing Yuan, I think we can take this opportunity to discuss further cooperation."

However, Oswaldo's request still could not be met, at which point Emerald directly said...
"Minister Schneider, I suggest you take a look at the high-level communicator the company sent to you first."

The headquarters board of directors has just issued an order that, due to the need for strict confidentiality regarding the items obtained from the breeding ruins, the number of people to be counted should not be too large.

The board has now assigned me to take a detailed account of the gains from this trip. I will submit a work report to all board members and board member alternates on the list of gains made by Danlei and the other two.

Therefore, you probably won't be able to supervise the inventory process on-site.

Upon hearing Emerald's words, Oswaldo instantly realized that this was Emerald's doing. This venomous woman wanted to remove him from the inventory team so that she could largely control what he would get later.

However, as Oswaldo opened his private communicator and saw the instructions issued by the board of directors, he had no choice but to accept it, no matter how unwilling he was.

Oswaldo glared at Emerald, filled with resentment, and left with the words, "Ms. Emerald, you'd better do a good job of counting, or you won't be able to explain it to the company later." He then returned to the spaceship and ordered the pilot to immediately fly the spaceship back to its flagship.

The jade that was left behind looked at Jing Yuan with a smile and said...

"General Jingyuan, I'm afraid I'll be staying at your ship for a while now."

Jing Yuan had clearly communicated with Emerald while Dan Lei was exploring the ruins, so he smiled as well.

"Ms. Jade, please don't be so polite. It is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Luofu will treat you with utmost sincerity and make you feel at home."

After saying that, Jing Yuan gestured for him to enter the Luofu warship, and accompanied Emerald into the ship. The two clearly wanted to have a few more words in private.

As for Fu Xuan, she was to stay outside and direct the others to do their work.

After all, Dan Lei could figure out that it was inappropriate to use insects to transport the amber king's stones, so Jing Yuan would naturally have thought of it as well.

Therefore, the most important amber stone will be loaded and unloaded by a special transport warship, and will definitely be placed in the safest treasury in the Luofu flagship. Feixiao, Fuxuan, and Feicui will accompany and escort it throughout the process.

As for Dan Lei and the other two, they can take the bug back to the Luofu flagship after the Perseid is transported away. Without Oswaldo, Dan Lei and the others can go back to the rest area to sort out the things they want to leave behind, and then go to the inventory area to take inventory.

Of course, while Fu Xuan was directing the transport warship and instructing that the amber be handled with care, Dan Lei went to find Jade, who had just finished talking with Jing Yuan and emerged from the warship, and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Ms. Emerald, your support is invaluable. This move of yours has dealt a heavy blow to Oswaldo."

"You have quite the influence; you can even influence the company's board of directors' decisions."

Emerald smiled at Dan Lei and said in a good mood
"After all, my subordinates are fighting to the death on the front lines, and I feel embarrassed to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, so I made some preparations."

However, the board of directors is not influenced by me; they made this decision purely because I truly am the best appraiser the company can find right now.

Jade's words were naturally modest, so Dan Lei listened, then took out a palm-sized fragment of amber from his backpack and placed it in Jade's hand, saying...

"Ms. Jade, they have some local specialties, such as topaz and placer gold."

Dan Lei didn't explain what the stone was, but with his keen eye for jade, he immediately recognized it as a broken piece of amber. His face hardened, and he said seriously...

“Mr. Danlei, may I assume that you are bribing me?”

To this question, Dan Lei answered confidently, "Of course we can. Anyway, this can't be kept secret. However, if it blows up, all three of our fragments will be handed over, and even less will return to the Interstellar Peace Company, since you only have a 20% share. Toppa, on the other hand, has at least 30%."

Seeing that Dan Lei was fearless, Emerald stopped trying to intimidate him and smiled again.
"I understand. It seems my two subordinates have received a lot of help from you this time. I will accept your thanks."

After saying that, Jade accepted the amber, meaning that she would turn a blind eye when counting it later.

Of course, having secured the jadeite, Dan Lei wouldn't forget Fu Xuan.

However, just as Dan Lei walked up to Fu Xuan, this man said in a very serious tone...
"Dan Lei, if you're trying to bribe me, you'd better not say anything. I'll report what happened between you and Ms. Emerald to the General."

However, Dan Lei was not afraid that Jing Yuan would find out about his bribery of jade, as he already knew that Dan Lei would withhold part of the proceeds.

So, Dan Lei still smiled.
"I know that the Grand Diviner is upright and incorruptible, and he certainly won't cooperate with my little tricks."

However, let's put it another way. The reason I'm seeking out the Grand Diviner is actually to ask you for a favor after you return to Luofu."

Fu Xuan became interested when he heard that Dan Lei wanted his help, but he still said...

"Help? If you want me to help you with things like breaking procedures, then you don't need to ask."

Dan Lei also knew that Fu Xuan was a typical person who responded better to gentle persuasion than force, and was also a bit arrogant.

Therefore, as long as Fu Xuan doesn't reject her outright, she is actually interested.

So, Dan Lei whispered to Fu Xuan...
"Master Taibu, actually, I obtained a secret manual related to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams during this trip. It is called Feng Hou Qi Men. Once mastered, it can freeze the time of a target."

However, I really don't understand anything about the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, so I can't get started.

Therefore, I want the Grand Diviner to study it before teaching it to me.

However, I must remind you, Master Taibu, that while this secret technique is fine for someone like me who knows nothing about it, for someone who does, if their aptitude and temperament are insufficient, they will become trapped in the mystery of the technique and go mad.

Therefore, it would actually be quite risky for the Grand Diviner to help with this.

Furthermore, this manual and my manual for drawing talismans in the void were found in the same location.

Fu Xuan wasn't stupid; she knew that Dan Lei was actually bribing her, but he was using knowledge instead of treasures.

However, Fu Xuan had to admit that Dan Lei's bribes were very tempting.

In fact, Fu Xuan still values ​​his martial prowess, because to become a general, it's not enough to just be smart; one's own strength must also be top-notch.

However, after this great battle, Dan Lei has clearly surpassed himself in terms of combat strength.

Moreover, Danlei is not fussy about details and is quite intelligent.

It can be said that Fu Xuan now felt that if Dan Lei were to compete with him for the position of general, he would definitely be a formidable opponent.

However, Fu Xuan remained very principled, so she replied...
“Teaching you the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams is no problem, but I won’t go easy on you this time when it comes to the inventory.”

When Dan Lei heard that Fu Xuan was willing to teach him, he knew that things had gone well.

Are you going to be lenient with the inventory? The two generals and Jade have already taken care of things themselves, so what's the point of you, Fu Xuan, being so diligent?

So Danlei left happily. Once the amber stone containing Taizyuros's remains was transported away, Danlei immediately manipulated his spirit to return to the flagship.

At this point, no one doubts the existence of that unremarkable stone on the spirit of Skarakabaz.

Jingyuan and the others guessed that it was a stone that had accidentally gotten stuck in the spirit of Skarakabaz when the temple collapsed.

After all, Danlei and his group were focused on escaping for their lives and certainly couldn't afford to pay attention to such details.

As for the people at the flagship port of Luofu, they certainly wouldn't care that Danlei was carrying a huge "stone" while walking.

By this time, news of Dan Lei capturing Skarakabaz's soul had slowly spread throughout the Immortal Boat Alliance.

After all, the observers on each ship weren't fools. Looking at the insect under Danlei's seat and comparing its fate fluctuations, they knew it was Skarabaz.

Furthermore, given that the Immortal Boat Alliance has records of soul beings like Suiyang, it's not surprising that they discovered Skarakabaz beneath Dan Lei was a soul entity.

Therefore, as the hero who subdued Skarakkabaz's soul, Danlei can do strange things without anyone interfering as long as he doesn't cause trouble.

Upon returning to his room, Danlei immediately used magic to create a stone that looked exactly like the fake stone and placed it in the room.

Then, Danlei dispelled the disguise magic and immediately inscribed a series of runes on the outer soil, making him invisible.

Dan Lei planned to stuff this thing into the tail of the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet after returning to the Immortal Ship. Anyway, the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet needed major repairs, so it would be easy to hide it there.

As for research, it certainly cannot be done in Luofu, and it certainly cannot be done by one person working in isolation.

Dan Lei has already figured out who to ask for help with this, after all, there is an officially recognized genius with a "conscience" active in this era.

This person, needless to say, is none other than our unparalleled, exceptionally intelligent, and stunningly beautiful Lady Black Tower.

As for how to meet her, Danlei felt that he just needed to wait.

The information blockade by Interstellar Peace Corporation was very successful in this campaign to conquer the Bug Temple.

At this time, the major powers in the universe probably just learned that the Immortal Ship Alliance and the Interstellar Peace Corporation had fought a battle with the Zerg swarm near the planet Egihazo, and that Commander-class ships had participated in the battle.

It can only be said that Oswaldo has put a lot of effort into intelligence blocking in order to prevent more forces from taking advantage of the battlefield and causing trouble.

As for the Immortal Boat Alliance, isn't it routine for them to set out with their armies to attack something? Not many forces would actually investigate what the Immortal Boat Alliance is attacking every time.

In particular, the Immortal Boat Alliance only said internally that they had discovered a swarm nest that needed to be destroyed.

Therefore, even if other forces in the universe inquired and discovered that the Immortal Ship Alliance was going to fight insects, they lost interest.

However, once the war ends, the Interstellar Peace Corporation and the Immortal Boat Alliance will have to divide the profits, and the details will definitely not be kept secret.

Because the Postone Society, which contains the remains of Taizyuros, will inevitably participate in the research.

Interstellar Peace Corporation is their financial backer, and the Immortal Boat Alliance has also maintained good relations with the Bo Shi Society for many years. Both sides will definitely agree to their participation in the research.

Once the Bo Shi Society gets involved, the details of this battle will no longer be kept secret.

By then, the entire universe will probably know that Dan Lei discovered the temple hidden in the Sea of ​​Quanta, which preserved the remains of the Insect King during the Cosmic Locust Plague, and that he captured the soul of the Star Shattering Insect King Skarakkabaz.

At this point, Ruan Mei, who has a good relationship with Xian Zhou, will definitely take action. Then, it will be a natural thing to ask her to help introduce me to Hei Ta and invite her to study my amber stone together.

As for why Black Tower didn't research the company's side but instead helped Dan Lei with his research.

That's because Dan Lei was certain that Interstellar Peace Corporation would never allow Black Tower to easily access that fragment.

Because the Black Tower is an envoy of wisdom, they can neither control it nor dare to offend it.

Although the two parties are nominally cooperating, the Interstellar Peace Corporation will inevitably impose many restrictions on Black Tower in this research to prevent her from making any irreversible mistakes due to her willfulness.

Is Black Tower someone who can be restricted by others?

Based on Dan Lei's understanding of the Black Tower, she would definitely rather not study this broken wreckage and go to the universe to find other insect king wreckage herself than put up with the lousy attitude of the Interstellar Peace Company.

Therefore, Danlei only needs to wait for Ejihazo's ripples to turn into giant waves that spread throughout the universe. When he wants to contact other forces, he will receive a reputation bonus, and the whole process will be much smoother.

　Thank you to Emperor Jiwu for the 100 Qidian Coins reward.
