Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

When he arrived, Longhu Mountain had undergone tremendous changes.

The once straight mountain peak was cut in half, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.

Zhang Zhiwei and Feng Baobao are engaged in a fierce battle in the sky.

Each of Zhang Zhiwei's strikes unleashed a torrent of thunder, crashing down upon Feng Baobao.

However, these thunderbolts were neutralized by invisible Qi as they approached Feng Baobao, and by the time they reached her, they were as harmless as a gentle breeze.

This put Zhang Zhiwei in a somewhat difficult position, and he frowned as he pondered a solution.

Feng Baobao stood frozen in mid-air, her face contorted in pain, as if enduring unspeakable torment.

Her occasional attacks, though each carried a devastating force that caused the surrounding space to tremble.

However, the initial attack was surprisingly slow, which allowed Zhang Zhiwei to easily dodge it.

However, it cannot be ignored that Feng Baobao's attack frequency and speed are increasing at a visible rate, as if an unknown power is awakening within her.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan looked up at the battle in the sky from the ground, feeling extremely anxious.

He knew he was powerless to intervene in such a duel and could only hope that Xingliu would arrive in time.

So he spoke urgently into the phone again:

"Grandpa, Sister Bao'er really has something very important to tell you. Last time you left in such a hurry, she didn't have a chance to tell you."

As soon as Zhang Chulan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a hand pat heavily on his shoulder.

He turned around in surprise and saw Xingliu standing behind him, holding a cell phone that was still on a call.

Xingliu stared intently at him, her tone calm yet conveying an undeniable authority:

"Kid, if you're lying to me, I'll tie your neck into a Chinese knot."

Xingliu's calm words made Zhang Chulan unconsciously shrink his neck.

Chapter 239 I...want to live

He was well aware of Xingliu's strength and methods, so he quickly waved his hand and explained:

"No, no, no, how could I dare lie to you? Everything I said is true!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something important, and his expression became even more anxious:

"Oh right, after Bao'er looked at those two pictures, she started acting strangely. It was like something was fighting her for control of her body."

"Then the Old Celestial Master appeared and, without saying a word, tried to kill Bao'er. I was terrified, but luckily Bao'er reacted quickly and dodged it."

"Before Bao'er flew into the sky, she told me that I must call you. She said she had something very important to tell you, and maybe only you can help her."

Zhang Chulan blurted out the whole story, hoping that Xingliu could lend a helping hand as soon as possible.

Xingliu nodded slightly, his figure shooting straight into the sky like a shooting star, instantly arriving beside Feng Baobao.

Upon seeing Xingliu's appearance, a faint smile appeared on Feng Baobao's originally pale face, like the rising sun dispelling layers of gloom.

“Xingliu, you’ve come,” she said softly, as if catching up with an old friend. “I have something I want to tell you.”

Xingliu stood quietly beside her, not interrupting, but conveying silent encouragement through his eyes.

Feng Baobao didn't seem to care about Xingliu's silence, and she continued speaking to herself:

“I remember everything now. I really was an artificial being, and an incomplete one at that. Now I am complete, but that also means I am about to die.”

She paused for a moment, seemingly trying to calm herself down.

Then she continued, "But I'm very happy. So many years have passed, and so many people have cared about me and looked after me. Xu Xiang, Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan... every single one of them has been very good to me, always accommodating me and protecting me. And you too, Xingliu. You told me so much about myself, letting me know about my background. Thank you for preparing me, so that I wouldn't die without knowing anything."

Feng Baobao's eyes reddened slightly, and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.

However, her eyes remained firm and pure, untroubled by her impending death.

Looking at Feng Baobao like this, Xingliu felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.

He sensed something was wrong—how could the old Feng Baobao have said such a thing?

However, when her pure gaze met his, he knew that the girl in front of him was still Feng Baobao herself, and had not been possessed by any other consciousness.

Seeing Xingliu's puzzled expression, Feng Baobao suddenly burst into laughter through her tears: "Aren't you puzzled? How come I suddenly understand?"

Before Xingliu could answer, she continued to explain, "Didn't I say that I wasn't complete before, so I couldn't understand some things? Now that I'm complete, of course I understand."

As she spoke, she made a playful face: "They all say I'm silly, but I'm not silly at all. Sometimes I'm incredibly clever."

Xingliu gazed silently at Feng Baobao, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

He remained silent for a moment, his thoughts churning like a surging tide.

He always said that he should be open-minded and act as he pleases when doing things.

However, he now finds himself becoming timid and hesitant.

He didn't know when he had become so arrogant and timid, always thinking about failure before winning.

Is this the life he wants—being indecisive and hesitant, looking before he's done with his life?

Recalling his initial ambition when he first entered the world of Naruto, Xingliu felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.

At that time, he was only six years old, yet he dared to seize upon Hiruzen Sarutobi's weakness and force him off the stage.

Now that he is an adult, he seems to have lost that courage and always retreats in the face of danger.

Xingliu took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination.

He knew he couldn't continue like this.

If one day his family and loved ones are also threatened in the same way, he must not choose to give up and run away.

He needs to rediscover that courage he once had, and forge ahead to protect the one he loves.

Moreover, he was not entirely without confidence.

Although Feng Baobao was surrounded by powerful rule energy, only slightly weaker than his, the difference between the rules was enough for him to gain the upper hand in the battle.

This confidence stems from his deep understanding of his own abilities and his thorough comprehension of the rules.

So, he smiled and asked Feng Baobao, "Is that really what you think? Do you have any other thoughts you'd like to share with me?"

Feng Baobao was slightly taken aback when she heard Xingliu's words, not understanding what he was referring to.

Although she has now become whole and can understand things she couldn't before, she still doesn't believe that anyone can defeat the demon that is about to resurrect, let alone save her.

In her view, this was an irreversible fate.

The reason why demons could be sealed in the past was because spiritual energy had not yet been revived at that time.

Although the demon had mastered the profound application of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, he was unable to withstand the attack of sheer numbers.

Left with no other choice, he could only store his consciousness within the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, waiting for a chance to be resurrected.

However, the Heavenly Master's Degree, which was meant to seal the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, was breached by Zhang Huaiyi and Wugensheng, allowing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques to reappear in the world.

This gave the demon hope for revival, so he readily allowed them to comprehend the power of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

Fortunately, at the critical moment when the demon was about to revive, Wugensheng discovered his presence and used his last strength to separate the three keys, temporarily preventing the demon's revival.

With the revival of spiritual energy, not only have humans become stronger, but the power of demons has also reached unprecedented heights.

At this point, numbers have become meaningless, because the gap in strength has become insurmountable.

That's why Feng Baobao said things that sounded like her last words.

Seeing her stunned expression, Xingliu continued, "You...don't want to live?"

This time, Feng Baobao understood.

She vaguely recalled her past memories.

At that time, she was still incomplete and did not understand many things in the outside world.

They don't understand pain, they don't understand emotions, they only have one obsession: to find their memories and their family.

Now that I've finally become a complete human being, I understand what emotions truly are.

But she never even experienced the feeling of being moved, and now she's going to die like this.

If it were the same person she was in the past, living in a daze, she might have just accepted her fate.

But now, how could she possibly be willing to accept this?

Looking into Xingliu's encouraging eyes, she opened her red lips, a blush rising on her pale face, and slowly said:

"I... want to live."

Chapter 240 Evenly matched

Upon hearing the answer he had been expecting, Xingliu smiled faintly.

Immediately afterwards, the power of rules he had comprehended surged out like a tidal wave, creating a violent clash with the rules surrounding Feng Baobao.

Two invisible forces collided in an instant, triggering a tremendous explosion.

The shockwave rippled through the air, creating waves that spread rapidly in all directions.

And Feng Baobao, no, it should be said that she is a "demon," also underwent earth-shattering changes under the influence of this force.

Energy surged within Him, constantly transforming His body. His height gradually increased, and His physique became increasingly robust. His original feminine characteristics gradually disappeared, replaced by a neutral appearance.

A born deity is awakening from its slumber, or rather, has fully awakened.

The demon's face returned to calm; he gazed at the starry stream, his eyes devoid of their previous richness.

All that remained was a deep and indifferent gaze, as if in His eyes all things in the world were as insignificant as ants.

"You're quite capable."

The demon's voice was calm and majestic, its original gender no longer discernible.

However, Xingliu sneered and replied, "Enough with the nonsense. If you were truly fearless, why didn't you just show yourself and fight me? You think I couldn't see through your attempt to buy time with a woman?"

At this point, Xingliu curled his lips in a mocking smile and continued coldly:

"You don't really think you're the only one stalling for time, do you?"

Before the words were even finished, countless complex runes suddenly appeared in the surrounding air. They were like ignited stars, flashing with dazzling light, and sealed off the space around the demon with lightning speed.

These runes seemed to contain the most primordial power of the universe, weaving together into an impenetrable net that not only completely sealed off the power of the demon, but also attempted to drag Feng Baobao's soul from within its body.
