From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 261 Objective: To the Moon!

Uchiha Muneki sat upright on the tall bronze bench in the Church of the Corpse Bone.

His deep, distant, pale golden eyes, piercing through the ocean of subconsciousness and the gateways to the hearts of others, took in everything that happened in Konoha.

Just as planned, the tide of the times has veered off course and is heading in the direction he had hoped for.

"Now...it's time."

Uchiha Munegetsu had been preparing for this moment for three years.

He is going to that mysterious moon to explore the secrets hidden deep within this world.

Uchiha Muneki gripped the armrest and slowly rose from the bronze chair.

The island of the mind, deep within the ocean of the subconscious, ripples spread with the influence of some force.

The manipulator of Sequence 4 of the audience pathway can create virtual personalities, but this is far from enough. So, over the course of three years, he quietly hypnotized tens of thousands of beings, extracting a sliver of their soul from the depths of each being's heart and endowing it with 'consciousness'.

Thus, a near-perfect 'incarnation' was created.

After he rose from his seat, a pure consciousness was left on the bronze chair.

The consciousness gradually solidified, becoming like a real life form, shedding its hazy and indistinct glow.

He had long, curly, light golden hair and a beard, and a simple and gentle demeanor. He wore a plain white robe with a cross pendant hanging on his chest, and his eyes were as clear and innocent as a baby's.

Hello, Adam.

"Hello, Zongyue."

The two exchanged a glance, their thoughts swirling in their eyes.

Adam inherited some of the extraordinary characteristics, possessed the power of a Sequence 4 Saint, and the same memories and thoughts.

In a sense, he is Uchiha Munezuki.

"Then it's yours, Adam."

Uchiha Muneki looked at 'Adam' and handed him a yellowed notebook: "You should know what to do."

"The Travels of Grosser? I understand."

Adam took the notebook from his hand, his gaze lingering on it for a moment before he looked directly at him and said calmly, "The divine kingdom of the 'Dragon of Imagination,' the miraculous city of Levihard, is indeed qualified to seal the corruption of the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' but..."

He paused slightly, his pale golden brows furrowing slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Wouldn't it be more useful to bring it along?"

Grosser's Travels is a magical artifact conceived by the former "Dragon of Imagination," Angelweid, using the authority of a Sequence 0 Dreamer. It also contains his divine kingdom, the miraculous city of Levishire, and the 'contamination' from God.

In terms of sheer status, it is far superior to the pollution left behind by the Mother Tree of Desire on the moon.

Of all the items that Uchiha Munezuki currently possesses, the 'Grossell Travelogue' is undoubtedly the most precious and highest-ranking item. But precisely because of this, Adam doesn't understand why Uchiha Munezuki would abandon the Grossell Travelogue when he went to the moon.

"No, I must leave it here."

Uchiha Muneki shook his head, his gaze deep as he looked at the notebook. His tone was tinged with apprehension and wariness as he explained, "The Mother Tree of Desire is troublesome, but this notebook is the biggest problem for me. Unless absolutely necessary, I'd rather leave it to gather dust than take it out."

"You mean Angelweid?"

Adam inherited his memories, so he could naturally guess what Zongyue was thinking.

Grosser's Travels is not just a magical item with the power to rival a Sequence 0 item; in essence, it is the Imaginary Dragon, one of the resurrected contingency plans arranged by Angorweid.

In this mysterious world, the higher the sequence level of an extraordinary being, the stronger their suppressive power over other extraordinary beings of the same sequence. And any arrangement involving a true god must be handled with utmost care, otherwise, the slightest mistake will result in being used as a stepping stone for someone else.

"Not entirely, you forgot there's another 'big guy'."

Uchiha Munezuki's lips curled into a bitter smile as he rubbed his furrowed brow and sighed, "The Journey to Groselle still seals away the corruption of 'God'." This 'God' is not that God, but rather refers to the 'God' who possesses the "Ancient Ones" status, transcends the Outer Gods, and is hailed as one of the 'Three Pillars'. He is also the unique one who encompasses the five paths of omniscience and omnipotence, and who fully contains the Primal Chaos Sea, one of the personalities separated from the "Original" body.

In other words, the Mother Tree of Desire is nothing in front of 'God'.

With just a word, 'God' can transform the 'Mother Tree of Desire' into the 'God of Pure Love,' and that's the difference between the two.

He would rather be corrupted by the Mother Tree of Desire than by 'God'. If he had to distinguish between the two, the former might still have a glimmer of hope, while the latter would mean certain death.

"In that case, it would indeed be more appropriate for me to keep it here."

Adam wholeheartedly agreed, saying that vigilance must be maintained regarding anything involving the 'Old Days,' and sighed, "This will be a rather dangerous journey."

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to go."

Uchiha Munetsuki didn't seem too nervous, and chuckled, "However, since it's an invitation from the 'system,' I should go and take a look."

"Are you sure?"

Adam's brow remained furrowed; he had a persistent, uneasy feeling about this perilous journey.

Perhaps this unease stems from the memory of the deeds of Emperor Roselle, a contamination from those in higher positions that is extremely deadly to those in lower positions.

"I'll try my luck, maybe. I hope it goes smoothly."

Uchiha Muneki, who shared Adam's feelings, also felt deeply uneasy about this, but he did not show it.

This is the first time we will confront the Outer God from the Mysteries, a true "Old Day".

Adam, sitting on the bronze bench, slowly closed his eyes. After a moment, he said, "If anything goes wrong, I will destroy you."

“That’s exactly what I wanted.”

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Munetsuki laughed, seemingly unconcerned.

"Then, I will resurrect you."

Adam paused for a few seconds, looked at him, his pale golden eyes rippled, and said.

"Yes."

Uchiha Muneki nodded and said, "And this is exactly my plan. You are my backup plan for resurrection."

"To correct you, it's not the only one."

Adam looked at him meaningfully and said calmly.

"Ha~"

Uchiha Muneki chuckled softly: "Who knows? Perhaps, it really is just you."

“In some ways, you’re not like ‘God,’” Adam said, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. “Your way of doing things is more like ‘the Celestial.’”

"No thanks, I don't want to be a 'Celestial Venerable'."

Uchiha Muneki shook his head and laughed, "Being too hated is not a good thing."

The two fell into a brief silence, and then, without prior arrangement, burst out laughing.

"Now, this place belongs to you."

With all preparations complete, Uchiha Muneki no longer hesitated and strode towards the Church of the Corpse.

Watching the departing figure, Adam, sitting on the bronze bench, his pale golden eyes deep and unfathomable, slowly withdrew his gaze only after he could no longer be seen. His eyelids were lowered, like a lifelike stone sculpture. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly: "I wish you success. I hope everything goes smoothly."

I took a day off; I was too exhausted to search anymore. I realized that most people working in HR don't do human work; they treat people like donkeys.
