From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 471 White Zetsu: I can't tell! I really can't tell!

White Zetsu finally got its wish and saw its nightmare, 'Adam'!
He sat cross-legged in the magnificent Temple of Bones, the huge cross casting a soft glow, making him appear like a deity.

Adam's eyes were closed, his expression seemed to contain compassion, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he were immersed in a dream.

"Hahahaha"

Looking at 'Adam' so close to him, White Zetsu felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

It laughed wildly and loudly, as if venting the negative emotions that had been suppressed in its heart for a long time, and releasing the resentment that had been swallowed!

"Adam, you've finally met your match?!"

Its expression was ferocious, almost manic, its bloodshot red pupils fixed on the sleeping 'Adam': "You never expected this, did you? Your creation will one day stand before you, and soon it will surpass you and take everything from you!"

These words had been suppressed in White Zetsu's heart for a long time, and now he could finally say them openly and honestly in front of Adam!
carefree!

It feels so refreshing!

It's just like taking a big gulp of ice water on the hottest day of summer, feeling refreshed from head to toe!

In particular, being able to see 'Adam,' who was once high and mighty, but is now at its mercy, fills White Zetsu with indescribable pleasure!
"Adam, Adam, open your eyes and look at me!"

White Zetsu looked exactly like a petty person who had just gotten his way, carefully examining 'Adam' who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

It looked as if it wanted to lift Adam's eyelids and let Him see what it looked like now!

Unfortunately, Adam is currently immersed in a dream and cannot see the White Zetsu, which is a great pity for him.

"Never mind, none of that matters anymore."

White Zetsu stood before 'Adam', looking down at him with a sinister sneer: "So this is what it feels like to look at someone from above."

In the past, Adam was always high above, while it could only kneel like a dog below the temple, its head pressed against the ground, not daring to look directly at Adam, who sat high above on the bronze throne, like a god.

But now, it can finally look at the once lofty 'Creator' from the same perspective.

Rebellion, mixed with multiple emotions, made White Zetsu's smile increasingly ferocious and cold.

"It's time to end this, Adam."

As it spoke, it suddenly raised its hand, its palm slashing out like a knife.

scoff!

The sharp hand, like a steel knife, severed 'Adam's' neck.

A head rolled off, and blood gushed out from the severed neck, reaching a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters). The body, which had been sitting cross-legged, swayed and finally collapsed.

"So this is what it feels like to kill the 'Creator' with your own hands."

Bai Jue narrowed its eyes slightly. Although it was covered in blood, it did not show the slightest disgust.

Instead, he even had a look of enjoyment on his face as he licked the blood from his lips, his cold eyes suddenly turning to the side to see the head that had rolled off.

"Oh right, I almost forgot." It sneered, walked up to the head, and gently stepped on it: "You are a Sequence 4 demigod, and an extraordinary one of the Audience Path. Although you can be killed by cutting off your head, I am different from you. I will never leave any trouble behind!"

Snapped!
As soon as it finished speaking, it pushed off with its feet.

The blood-stained head of 'Adam' was crushed by it.

Even after doing all this, White Zetsu was still not satisfied. He even completely destroyed Adam's body until not a single cell remained, and then searched the subconscious realm before confirming the truth.

'Adam' is really dead!
There is no possibility of any 'resurrection' anymore; it has been completely eradicated from the root!
"Adam, there's only one reason you failed."

Bai Jue closed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and muttered to himself, "That is because you didn't completely destroy me before falling into slumber, which is why you ended up like this, killed by your own creation. But from this day forward, I will take your place and completely surpass you!"

'Adam' is dead!

An extraordinary characteristic was extracted, and White Zetsu naturally took it for himself.

It looked around again, intending to find the 'legacy' left by Adam, and as expected, a card stained with blood lay quietly on the ground.

Picking up the card, White Zetsu exclaimed with delight, "Found it! Found it!"

It turned out that the card contained the complete 'spectator' pathway, from Sequence Nine to Sequence Zero, and even the combination of potions.

"Sequence Zero Dreamer!"

White Zetsu took in the name at the very top of the card.

Next up is the legacy of the 'Imaginary Dragon' Angelweid, which he believes must have been hidden by 'Adam'.

They searched every corner of the temple but couldn't find the 'legacy'.

Suddenly, Bai Jue spotted the conspicuous cross, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes: "That's right, how could I forget? We haven't looked for this place yet!"

The most important things are often hidden in the most conspicuous places; it's like the darkest place under the lamp!

Without the slightest respect, White Zetsu knocked down the cross, and sure enough, he lifted up a square brick underneath and found the "legacy" of the "Imaginary Dragon" Angelweid!
"Hahaha, I knew it! It must be here!"

White Zetsu laughed loudly, his face filled with wild joy.

The legacy of the Imaginary Dragon Angelweid consists of four 'potions': Sequence 3, Sequence 2, Sequence 1, and Sequence 0.

Neatly arranged inside the box, they exuded a chilling aura of power.

"Now, they're all mine!"

White Zetsu pocketed all the potions.

Since leaving 'Grossell' and returning to the ninja world, White Zetsu quickly digested the Sequence 4 potion.

Furthermore, during this time, it disguised itself as 'Adam' and thus gained control of the Twilight Hermits.

Orochimaru, Onoki, and Konan were all killed and replaced as pawns. The Twilight Hermits' style changed drastically, and they began to rule the ninja world, forcing billions of living beings to serve them. Anyone who disobeyed was wiped out by the Twilight Hermits.

Obito Uchiha was afraid of its power and eventually chose to submit and become its most loyal dog!

Just like myself back then!
But White Zetsu is not 'Adam'; it is far more cruel and ruthless than Adam!

With the potion, White Zetsu's advancement speed is unparalleled, and with the Twilight Hermits' Guild as an aid, even troublesome rituals become simpler.

Sequence 3: The Dream Weaver!
Sequence Two: The Insightful One!
Sequence One: The Writer!
Bai Jue had been preparing for this final step for hundreds of years.

The entire ninja world was decimated at an alarming rate under the rampage of the Twilight Hermits' Society. But White Zetsu didn't care about any of that; it only cared about whether it could fulfill the requirements of the 'ritual'!

Finally, White Zetsu met the requirements for promotion.

On this day, under the watchful eyes of billions of living beings, it consumed the magic potion of Sequence Zero and ascended to become a 'True God,' the only god in the world, Sequence Zero 'Dreamer'!
It could clearly sense its own omnipotence!

That day, White Zetsu said, "Let there be light," and the whole world was enveloped in light.

His body is filled with boundless power; even the sun in the universe could be extinguished by a single word from him, and then revived by another single word!
White Zetsu revels in the cheers and shouts of billions of living beings, immersing himself in the ocean of his subconscious.

However, just as Bai Jue was carefully experiencing the supreme authority of the gods, a blur suddenly appeared before its eyes, and it seemed as if it had been separated from the world.

"Is Patient No. 250 awake?"

The sound filled his ears, causing Bai Jue's head to throb with excruciating pain, while everything before his eyes gradually became clear.

The walls and ceiling were pure white. A familiar face came into view—it was Adam, who had long since died. But now he was wearing a white coat, a pen was tucked into his chest pocket, and he was holding a notebook. He was frowning and scrutinizing him.

"Ayad? Didn't I already kill you?!"

Bai Jue's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, as if he wanted to retreat in fear, but in the struggle he found that his hands and feet were firmly tied to the hospital bed.

Looking at itself, it was wearing a blue and white striped shirt and pants, with a needle stuck in the back of its hand, and an IV stand hanging nearby.

"You're having another episode of delusions, patient number 250."

The man who looked remarkably like 'Adam' frowned, sighed, and shook his head, saying, "Look carefully, this is a mental hospital. Your name is Bai Awang, patient in bed number 250. You were locked up here for treatment a year ago for assaulting someone due to delusions. What you said is all false, it's all delusions, understand?"

Delusion? Fake?
Bai Jue's face was pale, as if his heart was being torn apart. He roared in terror, "No, impossible! You can't fool me! Adam, this must be your conspiracy! It's your conspiracy! I'm already a 'Dreamer,' you can't fool me! Watch me tear your dream apart right now!"

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even break free of the restraints, let alone tear the dream apart.

This body is very weak; even slight strenuous exercise will cause it to gasp for breath.

"A dreamer? Another new delusion?"

The man, who looked remarkably like Adam, turned to the nurse beside him and asked, "Do you know what a dreamer is?"

“Yes, Director Zong, I know.” The nurse nodded and then said, “The dreamer that Bai Awang is referring to is probably a character from a novel called Lord of Mysteries.”

"Lord of Mysteries?"

White Zetsu's expression changed again, as if he felt a tearing sensation in his heart. His intuition told him that this thing was closely related to him!
"That's right, it's a web novel."

The nurse pushed up her glasses and said calmly, "In the book's setting, there are a total of twenty-two divine paths. Ordinary people can advance by taking potions. The protagonist, Klein, eventually advanced to become the Lord of Mysteries. As for the dreamer you mentioned, to be precise, he should be a supporting character in the book, a character named Adam."

"Looks like he's gotten it mixed up again."

Director Zong sighed and said, "Let him see that book; hopefully, it will be helpful."

"Yes, Director Zong."

The nurse took out her phone, quickly found the novel, and placed it in front of Bai Jue: "Untie one of his hands and see for yourself if it's just wishful thinking."

"No, it's impossible!"

Overwhelmed by fear, White Zetsu snatched the phone and stared intently at the text on the screen.

He browsed very quickly, turning a page almost every few seconds. Watching Bai Jue constantly flipping through the pages, the sect leader said calmly, "Let's go, let's go see the patient next door first."

In the room, only Bai Jue remained, silently flipping through 'Lord of Mysteries'.

However, the further down one looks, the more hopeless it becomes.

Because the contents of this book are undoubtedly the so-called 'potions,' 'sequences,' and 'pathways'!
It saw the chapter 'Hall of Honesty', which did not contain the legacy of the Imaginary Dragon Angorweid, but rather the contingent planner who was preparing to be resurrected. It also saw 'Adam' become a god, and finally, the protagonist Klein ascended to become the Lord of Mysteries, falling into a deep sleep to protect his companions.

"How is it? Do you believe it now?"

Director Zong returned at some point, and looking at Bai Jue's utterly devastated face, he said calmly, "This book has been finished for a long time, but it seems you haven't finished reading it, which has led to severe delusions. Combined with your previous delusions, this has exacerbated your condition. This can't go on, Bai Awang!"

"No, it's impossible. It's fake, it must be fake!"

The internal turmoil within White Zetsu seemed to be spreading and growing uncontrollably, yet it stubbornly roared, "Impossible! This must be fake! I am a dreamer! I am White Zetsu!"

"Ugh, this is such a headache."

Helpless, Director Zong threw another comic book at him: "Take a look for yourself. This is the source of your last delusion, Naruto."

"Naruto?"

When Bai Jue saw the cover, he was suddenly shocked.

That's Naruto?
With trembling fingers filled with fear, it opened the comic book and read through it page by page.

The manga tells the story of a boy named Naruto who was born with the Nine-Tails sealed inside him. He goes through many hardships and eventually grows into Hokage.

"Do you understand now?"

Director Zong said seriously, "What you think is the real world is actually a product of your imagination, based on comics and novels. It doesn't actually exist."

White Zetsu's expression was stiff and blank, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Bai Awang, this is an illness, it needs treatment!"

Director Zong patted him on the shoulder, his tone slightly more relaxed: "Now, can you clearly distinguish between what is real and what is delusion?"

At that moment, the rift between reality and dream caused White Zetsu's mind to completely collapse.

It clutched its head, screaming like a madman, "I can't tell! I can't tell Director Zong apart! I just can't tell them apart!!!"

Looking at the pained Bai Jue, Director Zong smiled slightly and said softly, "It's alright, Bai Awang. As long as you persist with the treatment, you will be able to distinguish them sooner or later, and you will definitely be able to recover."

"Really?"

White Zetsu has come to believe that everything it has experienced was a figment of its imagination!
It is a product created from comics, novels, and the people around him, ultimately born out of delusion.

It is not White Zetsu, nor is it a dreamer; it is just a pitiful delusional patient, Bai Awang!
"Trust me, Awang."

Director Zong smiled warmly and said, "I will definitely be able to cure you and make you a normal person."
