Chapter 467 The Future of the Universe
Chapter 467 The Future of the Universe
"I'm here to find out the truth about why you were sealed away."
"I encountered Otsutsuki Shibai before, and he said that you had developed evil thoughts that would harm the universe, so he sealed you here."
He paused deliberately, observing the goddess's reaction, trying to discern the truth from her expression.
Upon hearing the name "Otsutsuki Shibai," a fierce hatred flashed in the goddess's eyes.
The aura of the Twelve-Tomoe Rinnegan suddenly became violent, and the golden energy particles around it also became agitated.
The black chains binding her creaked and groaned, as if they might break at any moment.
"Malicious thoughts? That's just an excuse he makes for his despicable acts!"
She took a deep breath, forcibly calming her surging emotions. The hatred in her eyes gradually turned into sorrow, and she slowly revealed the long-buried truth.
"I am the ancestor of the divine tree, born at the beginning of the universe, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to grow."
"When I grow to be 100,000 meters tall, my body will enter a period of energy explosion, which will enable me to quickly devour all the energy of a planet."
"Otsutsuki Shibai accidentally discovered me and coveted my power. He used sweet words to gain my trust and used the chakra in my body to train, successfully obtaining the Omnipotent God Technique."
"But after he gained power, he drained a large amount of my chakra and sealed me here."
"He said that I consume an enormous amount of energy normally, and if I am not sealed, the entire Otsutsuki planet will be drained by me sooner or later, so the only option is to seal me here."
The goddess's voice was tinged with sorrow, and her eyes were filled with disappointment towards the Otsutsuki clan.
"To maintain the Divine Tree, they plunder other planets, plant Divine Trees on them, and bring back the ripe fruits. I then use the energy from the fruits to help them increase their strength, so it's a win-win situation. But I yearn for freedom and sunlight, yet I've been bound by these chains for a thousand years."
After saying that, she struggled slightly, and the black chains tightened around her body, leaving faint red marks.
She couldn't help but groan, her eyes flashing with pain and memories.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes grew even colder, and a faint killing intent emanated from his body.
Otsutsuki Shibaki's despicable behavior was even worse than he had anticipated.
Not only did they deceive and exploit the ancestor of the divine tree, but they also shifted all the blame onto her, making the Otsutsuki clan an enemy of the universe.
He spoke slowly, his tone solemn: "I can help you break the seal and restore your freedom."
A hint of surprise flashed in the goddess's eyes, followed by a touch of hesitation.
She looked at Sanfeng warily: "You'll help me? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"Especially in the world of the Otsutsuki clan, all help comes with a purpose."
"What do you want? Do you want my chakra, or do you want to use me for other purposes?"
Having experienced betrayal once, she no longer easily trusts anyone, even if the person in front of her doesn't seem hostile.
"I need your chakra to help me break through my current level," Sanfeng said bluntly, without any concealment.
"My goal is to completely resolve the cosmic crisis brought about by the Otsutsuki clan, which requires even greater power."
"In return, I will use my spiritual power to strip away your consciousness, freeing you from the shackles of the divine tree's body, allowing you to be reborn and have a life of your own."
"As for the original 100,000-meter-tall divine tree, I will transfer it to a pre-selected dead star."
"There is no life on the Death Star, only endless barren energy, enough to sustain it, and it will no longer harm any planet with life."
Upon hearing this, the goddess's hesitation gradually faded: "Alright! I promise you! As long as I can break free from this endless seal and be reborn, any price I have to pay is worth it!"
For her, breaking free from the seal and the shackles of the divine tree, and having a life of her own, was the greatest blessing.
Having received permission, Uchiha Mitsunaga no longer hesitated, forming a huge golden vortex that swept all the surrounding golden energy particles into it.
The nine-tomoe rings in his eyes spun wildly, the speed at which the tomoe spun faster and faster.
He then began to frantically absorb the pure chakra of the progenitor of the divine tree. His aura surged at a visible speed, and the pressure emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger, causing the entire consciousness space to tremble slightly.
As chakra continued to flow in, the number of tomoe in his eyes also changed continuously.
The nine-comma jade pieces gradually split and recombine, each becoming more refined.
Ultimately, it transformed into the golden Rinnegan with twelve tomoe, its pupils shimmering with a cosmic light, as if containing the laws of the entire universe.
After completing the breakthrough, Uchiha Sanfeng slowly suppressed his aura, and the light of the Twelve-Tomoe Ring Eye dimmed slightly.
He raised his hand and waved it, and golden chakra condensed into a sharp longsword, the blade shimmering with dazzling light.
With a gentle slash, the black chains binding the goddess produced a "sizzle" sound.
The incredibly tough black chains were easily severed like rotten wood, turning into black specks of light and dissipating.
The moment the restraints were lifted, the goddess took a deep breath, feeling the long-lost freedom, her eyes filled with excitement.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Sanfeng condensed a wisp of golden spiritual energy and gently touched the goddess's brow, slowly separating the goddess's consciousness from the Divine Tree's body.
He said softly, "Go, begin your new life."
The separated consciousness transformed into a golden stream of light, passing through the barrier of the consciousness space and heading to the ancestral star for reincarnation.
After dealing with the Divine Tree's consciousness, Uchiha Mitsunori withdrew from the depths of the Divine Tree's consciousness and returned to the real world.
He landed beside Kaguya, nodded slightly to her, and said in a calm tone, "It's done."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it towards the ancestral divine tree, which was 100,000 meters tall.
Countless golden chakra threads surged from his hands, tightly wrapping the entire divine tree like a spider web.
The chakra threads tightened continuously, gradually compressing the enormous divine tree.
It eventually transformed into a golden streak the size of a basketball.
With a flick of his finger, Uchiha Mitsumine sent a golden stream of light through the spatial barrier and into a pre-selected dead star.
That dead star was enormous, its surface covered with craters, containing only endless barren energy, enough to sustain the divine tree.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe, in a base of the Otsutsuki clan hidden in a nebula.
Several high-ranking members of the Otsutsuki clan, dressed in magnificent robes, suddenly changed their expressions drastically.
They all wore a black ring on their fingers, which had a special energy connection with the Ancestor of the Divine Tree and was the key to their power enhancement.
At that moment, the ring suddenly turned cold, the runes on it dimmed instantly, and the energy connection with the Ancestor of the Divine Tree was completely severed.
Several high-ranking officials simultaneously sensed the disappearance of the consciousness of the Ancestor of the Divine Tree and a violent change in energy fluctuations.
A strong sense of unease and anxiety welled up in his heart, and his chakra became violent.
"Oh no! Something's happened to the Ancestor of the Divine Tree!"
A high-ranking member of the Otsutsuki clan, dressed in a long red robe and bearing the character "一" (one) on his forehead, suddenly stood up, shattering his chair with the force of his chakra.
He shouted angrily, his eyes filled with shock and fury: "Besides us, only the Uchiha Sanfeng has the ability to touch the ancestor of the Divine Tree!"
"It must be him! He wants to destroy the foundation of our Otsutsuki clan!"
"We must go back! Go back immediately!"
Another Otsutsuki high-ranking official, dressed in a blue robe and with a thin build, echoed this sentiment, his eyes growing increasingly ferocious.
"The Divine Tree is the source of our power. Without her, our strength will continue to decline, and the foundation of the Otsutsuki clan will be completely destroyed!"
"Pass on my order: immediately use spatial teleportation to summon all Otsutsuki clan members scattered across various planets and bring them back to Planet Otsutsuki!"
"We must kill the Uchiha Mitsurugi and Kaguya Otsutsuki at all costs to avenge the progenitor of the Divine Tree!"
After saying that, he took the lead in raising his hands to form a hand seal, and black spatial chakra emanated from his body as he began to locate the coordinates of the Otsutsuki Ancestral Star.
The other high-ranking members also took action, each using their own spells to summon their clansmen.
Three days later, the space above the ancestral star of Otsutsuki suddenly distorted violently.
Black spatial rifts formed, emanating violent spatial energy.
Five incredibly powerful auras broke through the spatial barrier and hovered high in the sky; these were the five high-ranking members of the Otsutsuki clan.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of Otsutsuki clan members poured out from the spatial rift, densely packed and suspended in the high sky, forming a dark, oppressive cloud.
They were all dressed in combat attire, surrounded by dense chakra, and wielding various ninja tools.
The violent auras converged, causing the entire ancestral planet of Otsutsuki to tremble slightly.
Uchiha Mitsunori glanced up at the enemy high in the sky, his expression perfectly calm.
He had already foreseen this battle that would determine the future of the universe through the divine art of Ten Directions, and had made full preparations.
He raised his hand and waved it, causing ripples to spread through the space behind him, and a huge spatial gate appeared out of thin air.
The next second, one familiar figure after another walked out of the spatial gate.
Madara Uchiha, clad in red Sengoku armor, exuded an aura of dominance over the world.
Hashirama Senju followed closely behind, his arms crossed over his chest, his expression somewhat serious.
Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he were looking forward to the upcoming battle: "Heh heh, the Otsutsuki's lair, what an interesting place."
Minato Namikaze activated Six Paths Chakra Mode, his body surrounded by golden light.
Nagato followed closely behind, activating his special Byakugan to observe the hidden Otsutsuki clan members in the distance.
Kakashi Uchiha had already activated his Rinnegan, and his ninja sword was slung diagonally across his shoulder, the scabbard making a slight sound as it clashed with his armor.
Obito Uchiha wore his signature mask, surrounded by black Kamui chakra, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Naruto in Ashura Nine-Tails Mode, his sensory abilities fully activated, his heart already burning with fierce fighting spirit.
Kabuto Yakushi then activated Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode, his pupils turning into vertical pupils, and fine snake scale patterns appearing on his skin.
Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hizashi, and Hyuga Hiashi stood side by side, each activating their Tenseigan chakra modes, checking for any possible ambushes in their surroundings.
Tsunade, Mikoto Uchiha, Mei Terumi, and twenty other queens then emerged from the portal.
They wore custom-made golden armor, adorned with exquisite patterns that were both dignified and fierce.
Finally, the children of the three peaks of the Uchiha clan... Uchiha Baiqi, Sasuke, Shiryu, Hoshichi, Kikyo, Shion, Karin, Mirai, and others. Also clad in their specially made golden armor, they were ready to fight side-by-side.
