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

Chapter 28 The Balanced Star God is watching you

Dan Lei's explanation clearly failed to satisfy the attendees, because in their view, Dan Lei was just making empty promises without any evidence.

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, who had been listening in for a long time, felt that it was about time. If they didn't go out soon, a real fight would break out.

With a cry of "My lord has arrived," he slowly walked out of the house.

However, unlike in the original story where he first remarked on the nice weather upon emerging, this time he went straight to apologize to Dan Lei.
"Mr. Danlei, I'm sorry, my children have left you with a bad impression."

However, please believe that they are all good children. I, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, sincerely apologize for the attack just now.

As he spoke, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, whose health was already compromised, bowed slightly to Dan Lei under the guidance of his two daughters.

However, his health was so poor that he staggered even with such a movement and almost fell.

At this moment, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was kneeling on the ground in respect, regained his senses and said with heartache.
"My lord, please don't do this. I have caused trouble and need to apologize. I am willing to bind my hands and let him do as he pleases."

In fact, Dan Lei knew about Ubuyashiki Kagaya's scheme; he was trying to win him over.

He understands Shinazugawa Sanemi's personality very well, so he doesn't need to make any arrangements. He will play the bad cop himself, and it will be easy for him to win Dan Lei's favor by playing the good cop.

Therefore, after giving a slight bow as a sign of politeness, Dan Lei spoke directly.

"There's no need to apologize for what just happened. As I said, he swung his sword at me, and I returned the favor with my own. We're even now."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, acknowledging this statement, and then slowly asked...

"Okay, Mr. Danlei."

However, Mr. Danlei just mentioned that Nezuko's method of replenishing her energy is different from that of ordinary demons. Could you explain it to me in detail?

Danlei did not refuse the request and simply explained his theories about ghosts, ley lines, and breathing techniques.

Because there was a lot of content, Danlei's class lasted from morning to afternoon, and he even showed his research notes to others in between.

Most of the Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps were not very well-educated and were confused by what they were saying, but Kagaya Ubuyashiki kept nodding, as he could at least roughly understand what Dan Lei was saying.

Finally, Dan Lei also added a personal touch, explaining the concept of hunting to Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

To be honest, Dan Lei told Kagaya Ubuyashiki about the hunting concept just to make his self-proclaimed identity as a sea patrol knight more real.

However, Danlei forgot one thing.

I used the Holy Grail to travel to this world through the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and at least two Star Gods are watching me, especially [Mutual], who created all of this.

When Balance perceived that Dan Lei was explaining the concept of Star Gods, it glanced at this world.

Then it discovered that this was an extremely unbalanced world.

To be honest, the Demon Slayer Corps, with its few hundred members, is completely outmatched by the entire demon force.

The Pillars can kill demons below the Lower Moon level relatively easily, but there are only nine Pillars, and they can't defeat Upper Moon demons in a one-on-one fight.

The main reason why Muzan Kibutsuji failed in the original manga was that he didn't take the Demon Slayer Corps seriously enough.

This directly resulted in only three of the original Upper Moon demons being killed before the final battle, forcing the temporary promotion of other demons as new Upper Moon demons.

One side prepared meticulously, while the other was so arrogant that they didn't even bother to investigate and just attacked without any strategy. Moreover, the new Upper Moon's fighting strength was inferior to the old Upper Moon, and Tanjiro was able to use his powers in his dreams, which led to their defeat.

As for the rest of this world, it is also unbalanced in the eyes of [Mutual].

Although this world is insignificant to the entire Star Iron Universe and does not affect the balance at all, it is well known that the Star Gods are all obsessive-compulsive.

Thus, [mutual] began to achieve dynamic equilibrium.

As Dan Lei vividly described the concept of hunting, the gaze of the Hunting Star God was instantly drawn to this world by [Mutual], and turned to look at Dan Lei.

Of course, it would be unbalanced if only one side had the power of destiny, so the [Pharmacist] also turned his gaze to a certain Ghost King who was throwing a tantrum in the Infinite City.

Leaving aside the situation on Muzan Kibutsuji's side, Dan Lei was startled by [Arashi's] glance and wondered what the hell, could a Star God be glanced at by a Star God?

Moreover, even if one is to glance, shouldn't the dissemination of knowledge be done with the erudition and humility of a connoisseur?

However, [Mutual] enticement [Lan] to glance at Dan Lei was just a side effect; the main purpose was to introduce the concept of hunting into this world.

So, for the Demon Slayer Corps members, they were simply listening to Dan Lei's eloquent descriptions of what Star Gods and Patrols were. Then, an inexplicable pressure descended instantly, and in the next second, several people present understood.

This is normal. The Demon Slayer Corps' hatred for Muzan Kibutsuji and the demons perfectly fits the concept of a hunting party. Although they did not attract the attention of the Star God, the moment they entered the hunting path, the group stepped inside instantly.

Besides Dan Lei, who was being glanced at, those present who received the hunting fate included Ubuyashiki Kagaya, Kocho Shinobu, Shinazugawa Sanemi, and Himejima Gyomei.

The concept of destiny is mysterious. Even if those who enter it have no idea about it, they can still draw imaginary energy from it without any instruction.

Moreover, it will basically not conflict with the local power system. After all, in the Star Iron Universe system, any entity (including energy) can be traced back to the Imaginary Tree.

Although the people present had only just begun their journey into the Destiny Path and had limited opportunities for self-improvement, the Hunting Path was a standard combat Destiny Path, and its boost to power was still quite significant.

Patients like Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who were cursed by Muzan Kibutsuji to the point where even raising their arms was difficult, suddenly felt their strength return to their hands thanks to the power of fate. So, after a brief silence, they raised their hands and exclaimed in gratitude.

"Is this the power of the hunt? I understand now."

Shinobu Kocho, also feeling the power of destiny at this moment, confirmed with Dan Lei...

"Mr. Danlei, have I now entered the hunting phase?"

Dan Lei looked at Shinobu Kocho, who was already able to use the power of destiny, and didn't know where to begin complaining.

I feel like I came here to bring warmth to this world. When I arrived, I only had a set of clothes on me and nothing else.

This directly resulted in the inability to monetize even the vast amount of interstellar knowledge one possessed.

This is like sending a 20th-century engineer back to the Stone Age; even if they know a lot of knowledge, they still have to start from scratch in terms of technology.

Moreover, the knowledge Dan Lei gained from the Immortal Ship was completely useless, because Earth didn't even have the most basic materials.

For Danlei, the only thing he can do in this era is to create some magical puppets for transportation and combat, but this is too conspicuous.

Therefore, Danlei followed Sasaki Kojiro's advice on kendo.

Dan Lei believes that Sasaki Kojiro made a very good point.
"People who have seen convenience always think about taking shortcuts to achieve things quickly, believing that this will be more efficient."

However, without a solid foundation, even the greatest talent will be limited in its potential.

Aozaki Touko also said something similar to Dan Lei. When she was training herself in magic, she often made herself repeat a simple and boring thing hundreds or thousands of times without any reason.

Similarly, in Luofu, martial arts skills must be learned step by step.

Ultimately, how far one goes in life depends mainly on understanding and practice.

One's own strength is the guarantee that the power of destiny can be transformed into combat power.

So, in response to Shinobu's question, Dan Lei replied with a smile.

"Congratulations, you are now a Path of Destiny Walker. However, at this moment, you are just a newborn baby on the Path of Destiny. Begin your special training."

After training, you'll find that the advantages ghosts have over humans aren't so great after all.

　Okay, now stop saying that Demon Slayer is all special effects.

　　I've only written 2000 words in 20 chapters of Demon Slayer, and I haven't even fully developed all my ideas. The protagonist has just started practicing swordsmanship to improve his close combat skills, and he's already facing all sorts of criticism.

　　Also, why do many people think that martial arts training is unnecessary in the Star Iron Universe?

　　The power of destiny is enhanced by understanding and practicing the underlying principles.

　　However, to transform the power of destiny into combat power, destiny travelers rely on their own skills or technology.

　　Let's leave aside those that focus purely on technology.

　　All powerful Destiny Walkers started from the basics. Before becoming the Sword Master, Jingliu practiced swordsmanship for hundreds of years. There is no such thing as directly training Destiny Power.

　　Furthermore, the practice of ideals has little to do with the strength of the world; as long as one's destiny enters the world, even a weak world can produce powerful destiny travelers.

　　After all, many Star Gods ascended directly from scratch after an epiphany, proving that destiny doesn't depend on how strong your original world was.
