From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 494 Confronting the Fallen Mother Goddess
Adam easily infiltrated Shennong's subconscious realm.

On the turbulent ocean of the subconscious, following the circuit formed by that trace of spirituality, I found that deeply hidden island of consciousness.

However, unlike the usual islands of consciousness, Shennong's 'island of consciousness' was actually a pitch-black forest.

No, to be more precise, it shouldn't be called a 'dark forest,' but rather a massive, churning, decaying cloud of mist, bound by some force and coalescing into the shape of a 'consciousness island.' The 'forest' on it, to be precise, resembles countless twisted, sticky black tentacles.

Millions of black tentacles, like withered tree branches, extend and combine to form the dome of the forest.

From a distance, it really does look like a black forest.

"Caution comes first."

Seeing such a bizarre scene, Adam dared not step inside rashly.

After much deliberation, he decided to temporarily separate one of his avatars and go explore the eerie black forest.

A somewhat ethereal figure then appeared beside them.

"Thanks a lot."

Adam nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Although the character is a fabricated creation by the audience using their past memories, it is still ultimately a part of oneself.

The separated shadow of the past was not imbued with more emotion; it was more like a puppet devoid of consciousness and memory. It nodded stiffly and then strode into the forest.

A rotting, pathogen-like black fog constantly shrouds every corner of the island.

As soon as one steps inside, the consciousness senses a tremor originating from the depths of the soul, as if being 'watched' by something.

Cold, deep, dark, and eerie.
The air was sticky and slippery, and the soil beneath your feet felt like rotting flesh, yearning to overflow with sap.

The consciousness frowned slightly, having prepared multiple mental suggestions for itself beforehand, and tried to reach out and touch the 'forest' tree trunk that was flowing with viscous liquid and resembled some kind of limb.

The touch was very soft, and coupled with the complete blockage of perception and the extremely eerie surroundings, the consciousness felt as if it had stepped into the 'stomach' of some unknown entity.

Although I had some expectations, this was the first time my consciousness had ever encountered such an extremely bizarre atmosphere.

But no matter how bizarre it was, he could only continue to delve deeper, since the purpose of being separated was to eliminate as much danger as possible for the 'Adam' outside.

As it pondered, the consciousness continued its exploration.

The surrounding decaying black mist churned and surged, as if sensing the intrusion of outsiders. The once silent, dark forest suddenly seemed to be awakened!
"You noticed it so quickly?"

The consciousness frowned slightly. He had tried his best to suppress his spirituality, but he hadn't expected to be discovered.

Judging from the gradually 'reviving' forests around the island, it has already noticed the intruders and is planning to take action!
Rumble!
The deathly dark forest, as if alive, stretched its roots out of the rotting soil.

The 'roots' buried deep in the rotting, fleshy soil were actually limbs resembling sheep hooves. The surging, churning, rotten black mist suddenly coalesced and formed wriggling creatures.

Those lush 'branches' had suddenly transformed into sticky, black tentacles, waving wildly!

One after another, soon the consciousness's vision was filled with countless bizarre, terrifying, and nauseating twisted monsters!

"Now, things are getting a bit complicated."

The consciousness was quite helpless; it was merely a separated 'shadow' of the past and did not possess any strong abilities.

At most, it's at the fifth level of the sequence.

Those disgusting, twisted monsters exuded an oppressive aura that was clearly at least at the Sequence Four level!
"no solution anymore."

As the distorted monster approached, the consciousness sighed: "I have done my best. Now it is up to the main body."

As soon as he finished speaking, his consciousness vanished.

The 'forest' that had lost its target returned to tranquility once more.

The twisted monsters returned to slumber, their roots buried in the rotting soil, as if nothing had ever happened.

At this moment, Adam, outside the island of consciousness, slowly opened his eyes: "Will venturing deep into the island rashly activate what's inside?"

The moment the consciousness's memories returned, he recognized the 'twisted monster'.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is highly likely to be a descendant of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' or perhaps a 'child,' someone who has inherited some of her power and bloodline.

But the sheer number of them surprised Adam.

"Strange, how could so many 'offsprings' reside on Shennong's consciousness island?" Adam was puzzled. Shennong was at most a demigod who had only recently entered Sequence 4. How could his consciousness island house such a large number of 'demigod' offspring?

No wonder, the consciousness couldn't penetrate deeper.
Adam rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "It seems I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands."

The original plan was to send the consciousness to scout ahead, but in the end, I had to go myself.

"Well, fortunately, I can borrow a little bit of the 'original body's' power."

Adam's lips curled slightly, and his figure slowly became transparent in the air. Then his spirituality was completely concealed and vanished.

In this way, it can minimize the chances of being discovered by those troublesome 'offspring'.

Adam strode into the island of consciousness, his eyes flickering slightly: "Indeed, this doesn't seem like an island of consciousness at all; rather, it's more like the body of some creature!"

Thinking about this, he suddenly had an outrageous idea.

"Could it be that I really am inside the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'?"

Adam shook his head, abruptly erasing the thought from the depths of his mind: "I can't let my mind wander; I need to control my thoughts, or unpredictable things will happen."

"Ok?"

Uchiha Muneki, who was waiting outside, suddenly sharpened his gaze: "Completely vanished?"

Yes, just now, He suddenly felt a tremor in His heart, as if someone was calling Him, but before the voice could be heard, it was cut off by some force.

Immediately afterwards, Adam’s connection with His soul was severed as if it had been suddenly cut off!
Hehe, hehehe. Hehehehehehehe

Just then, Shennong, who had been hypnotized, suddenly began to twitch and convulse, letting out a creepy laugh.

Uchiha Muneki's gaze was indifferent as he coldly scrutinized him.

"So that's where it was."

Shennong's eyes turned completely black, with no whites visible, and his neck twisted strangely as he stared at you from an odd perspective: "I'm looking for you, you."

"We've found you!"

"it's here!"

"it's here!"

"He's here!" "It's Him!"

Suddenly, countless voices came from all directions.

There was clearly no one around, not even any 'mind', it was as if a ghost was calling out.

It does not exist in the subconscious, nor in the material world.

A faint golden light rippled in the depths of Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes, as he unconsciously activated 'Spiritual Vision'.

The next moment, the previously empty surroundings underwent a dramatic transformation!
The sky above the spirit world was shrouded in a thick, decaying fog. The churning black fog would sometimes coalesce and sometimes disperse, exuding an extremely ominous and terrifying aura.

Then, from that festering, pitch-black fog, countless eye organs, like a sky full of stars, sprouted.

Those eyes, devoid of any emotion, cold and indifferent, gazed silently down at Uchiha Muneki from the thick fog that shrouded the spirit world.

"So, it really is hidden in the spirit world?"

The situation seen by 'spiritual vision' completely confirmed Uchiha Muneki's guess.

No wonder neither the material world nor the subconscious realm could detect the other's existence; it turns out they were hiding in the 'spirit world'!
But what does the phrase "I've found you" mean?
"So this is where it is." Does it refer to the "Chaotic Sea," or... him?

As Uchiha Muneki was pondering, Shennong walked towards Him with stiff, unsteady steps, like a puppet controlled by invisible threads.

Is Adam's disappearance related to the "spirit world"?

Uchiha Muneki wasn't too flustered and continued to ponder the problem.

Although the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' is very powerful, the problem is that she has obviously used the 'Spirit Realm' to project a portion of her power from somewhere far away.

Such influence exerted across the spirit realm is extremely limited; even the 'Old Ones' above the 'Sequence' could not kill an 'Angel King'.

In the original work, even "Mr. Door" was only driven insane after coming into very close contact with "the past".

"This is somewhat unexpected." Uchiha Munetsuki frowned. "I thought the 'Spirit World' wouldn't exist in the Naruto world, but I didn't expect it to appear in this way. Is it due to the influence of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' or is it under the influence of 'Source Matter' that the Spirit World gradually began to appear?"

Shennong continued relentlessly, trying to close the gap between himself and Uchiha Muneki.

Surprisingly, no matter how many steps Shennong took, the distance between him and Uchiha Muneki remained at around 100 meters.

Shennong tried several times, and finally let out an angry growl.

"You're too noisy."

Uchiha Munetsuki frowned slightly and said, "Shut up!"

To shut up!

To shut up!

To shut up!

The turbulent currents formed by the vast ocean of the subconscious swept across hundreds of kilometers in an instant!
The massive imprint of consciousness seemed to transform into some kind of command, directly causing the roaring 'Shennong' and the voices that kept echoing in the spirit world to suddenly come to an abrupt halt!

"I've learned enough about it."

Uchiha Munezuki twitched his index finger slightly, and the gathered subconscious power, like ink, wrote 'articles' in the void.

"Due to the great distance between them, the power of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' encountered an uncontrollable force during its spread in the spirit world and was directly interrupted. This is a logical development in the story."

The 'story', written in ancient Hermes script, is embedded in the depths of the subconscious ocean.

Every story written by a writer will inevitably become reality.

This is a prerequisite for being a 'dreamer,' and also part of the 'omniscience' and 'omnipotence' within the authority of 'God'!

The next moment, the thick, decaying fog that had been shrouding the spirit world seemed to have encountered some uncontrollable force and gradually showed signs of disappearing.

However, the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' was ultimately an 'Ancient' being, and her power temporarily suppressed the anomalies in the 'Spirit Realm'.

After realizing that 'Uchiha Munezuki' was trying to expel Him, the churning, decaying fog gradually showed signs of invading the material world from the spirit world. Wisps of rotting black fog emerged from the cracks, frantically devouring and infecting the mountain area.

Wherever the black mist touched the forest, all matter possessing 'life' characteristics exhibited a bizarre 'reproduction' phenomenon!
Does the power of the fallen mother goddess 'procreate'?

Uchiha Munezuki's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately realized that the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' was trying to spread her authority throughout the world.

Just like dandelion seeds, once they are scattered, more dandelions will appear.

Once the seeds of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' are sown, it's not hard to imagine that the entire ninja world will be filled with 'pregnant women' in the future.

Just thinking about this scene is terrifying.

"Sorry, I can't let you have your way."

Uchiha Munetsuki seemed to finally be serious, directly revealing his mythical creature form: "This world holds my chance to become a god, I can't let you mess around with it!"

"I said, a meteorite will fall from the sky!"

A grand sound, as if accompanied by the ocean currents of the subconscious realm, echoed with a deafening roar!

In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black night sky was suddenly ripped apart by streaks of meteors. Hundreds of meteors, trailing trails of flame, fell toward this remote border town of the River Country with earth-shattering force and terrifying roars.

Rumble——! ! !
A terrifying mushroom cloud, hundreds of meters in diameter, completely occupied most of the sky!
The boiling flames swept across the sky with devastating force under the visible air waves, like a category 18 hurricane connecting heaven and earth. Even several kilometers away, one could clearly see the dazzling ball of light that suddenly burst forth and feel the impact of the gale hitting one's face!
But clearly, a mere 'meteorite' could not stop the 'fallen mother goddess'.

Uchiha Munetsuki mobilized an even larger collective power of subconsciousness, turning it into a 'brand', and spoke again: "The unknown being hidden in the spirit world has sensed the attempt to 'corrupt the Mother Goddess.' It's truly unexpected that He has become interested in this powerful 'Ancient One'!"

"puff!"

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his spirituality was being consumed at an alarming rate!
Completely deviating from the logic of the 'story' will lead to this result, but the reward is surprisingly good.

Suddenly, the once peaceful spirit world was thrown into turmoil, as if some unknown entity had been drawn to the fallen mother goddess.

A flash of lightning, like a torrential downpour, tore through the festering fog!

Uchiha Munezuki seemed to hear it, letting out an extremely shrill scream, and then the festering fog symbolizing the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' disappeared at an alarming speed.

However, the power of the spirit world did not disappear as a result.

Seeing this, Uchiha Munetsuki's heart raced, and he hurriedly spoke again: "The unknown existence in the Spirit World, having lost its target, continues to fall into... *poof*!"

His spirit seemed to have suffered a terrifying backlash!
The once stable 'anchor' seemed to be pulled out at this moment, and an extremely terrifying aura swept over!

Uchiha Muneki suddenly realized that the unknown being was not awakened by Him at all!

He knew very well that if that being were allowed to continue to awaken, it might actually cross the spirit realm and descend directly into the material world. So He directly communicated with the minds of the seven billion people in the Dragon Clan world, and with the power of the entire world, He spoke again: "The unknown being deep within the spirit realm has fallen into slumber once more!"

boom!
The spirit world trembled violently, its terrifying power spreading out and even tearing apart the space of the material world!
However, that power was ultimately unable to break through, and under the blessing of the entire world, it slowly fell back into slumber!
