Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 200 The Late Newcomer

After finishing the small book, the next step was the war of unification. In just one year, the defense was turned into offense, and the war was fought with overwhelming force.

Tianjie Xiazuo fought his way from the icy north to the scorching south, and even went west to the plateau, where he smashed a heavy gate with his bare hands, earning him the title of "Rangze Jinzhu Mami" and impressing several Living Buddhas.

When he returned to the dream world this time, he was on a military train heading to the northeastern frontier.

What awaits him next is the most brutal, but also the most inspiring, war to establish the nation.

The memories of Tianjie Xiazuo were clear and vivid, containing almost every detail. Even without any shared emotions, they still evoked a collective emotional resonance among the Xiazuos.

The journey to the mountainous land filled the Xiazuo people with excitement and passion.

At this moment, no extra words were needed. Zhutian Xiazuo and Tianjie Xiazuo exchanged a glance, feeling each other's calm and unwavering emotions, and conveyed their most sincere wish to "cheer up".

If they said they weren't envious at this point, they would be lying.

Having survived the flames of war that threatened the nation's survival, Tianjie Xiazuo's transformation was entirely positive. Like a volcano that had accumulated countless energies, it was just one final eruption away from completely shedding the shackles of mortals.

At that time, the hearts of the people of Tianjie Xiazuo will be united with the will of Heaven, and they will be able to open the Heavenly Gate in one fell swoop, with no more obstacles in sight.

Sensing everyone's envy and jealousy, Tianjie Xiazuo suddenly smiled and replied, "The most important thing is not overcoming the tribulation, but following in his footsteps for so long."

"Memories cannot capture the hardships of this journey, but they were crucial to my transformation. I believe that no future difficulties or obstacles will frighten me."

Compared to Xia Zuo's arduous journey through blood and fire, Xia Zuo's experience was full of comedic elements.

Having obtained the life essence of Heavenly Tribulation Xia Zuo, Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo was finally able to withstand the damage from the Cleansing Divine Lightning.

Or rather, it's not just about enduring, but about absorbing and refining.

The demon Xia Zuo bathed in divine lightning, feeding on it to rapidly grow stronger. In the process, he gradually mutated, becoming an unprecedented pure yang divine lightning demon.

In a sense, this guy can no longer be considered a demon, but a new species somewhere between a demon and a cultivator.

Of course, you could also call him a freak.

After the Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo became a new type of monster, the unified connection between him and the Five Spirit Fairies' sea of ​​consciousness was severed.

In that instant, the Five Spirits Fairy Jin Shunyao sensed the problem and discovered the foreign object in her sea of ​​consciousness.

She smiled, her face as cold as ice, "Fine, after 24 years, I've finally forced you out of your sea of ​​consciousness. Let this fairy see what kind of monster you really are!"

In an instant, the fairy's consciousness plunged into her sea of ​​consciousness, and the first thing she saw was the golden demon Xia Zuo. She loudly questioned, "What kind of monster are you? How dare you infiltrate this fairy's sea of ​​consciousness? You truly have no sense of death."

Marvel Xia Zuo interrupted Tianmo Xia Zuo's narration with surprise, asking, "Your fairy didn't come up and give you a hundred divine lightning bolts, but instead questioned you?"

The Demon King Xia Zuo shrugged and said, "It's hard to believe, but it's true."

Xia Zuodao said, "There's something wrong with the cultivation world you're in. How could a great cultivator who's about to break through to the Void Returning Realm be so indecisive?"

Even geniuses with celestial spiritual roots must undergo training in the cultivation world after reaching the Golden Core Realm to seize opportunities and resources for themselves and their sects.

"When a cultivator sees a major threat that has been found after 24 years, which one wouldn't go all out from the start and not give the enemy a chance to breathe?"

"This is a mortal enemy who has been lurking for who knows how many years, and could very well be the one to take her life!"

Tianmo Xiazuo spread his hands and said with a grin, "I was extremely surprised at the time, but it was very lucky for me."

"She gave me enough time to prepare and to craft a convincing identity."

After questioning her, she waited a full three seconds before finally deciding to attack: "Since you won't answer this fairy's question, it seems you are the extraterrestrial demon!"

The most effective attack method in the battle of consciousness is the cleansing divine lightning. The fairy moved her slender, jade-like fingers, and the golden arcs of electricity densely covering the sea of ​​consciousness quickly merged and gathered into a huge divine lightning bolt that resembled a dragon. Then, it struck the Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo hard.

Seeing that the Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo neither dodged nor avoided the attack, and was struck squarely, the Five Spirit Fairy couldn't help but smile, her flawless face revealing shallow dimples: "Heavenly Demon! Take my divine lightning!!"

The next moment, Jin Shunyao's smile froze, and her small mouth gradually turned into an "O" shape.

With three seconds to prepare, Tianmo Xiazuo braced himself for the divine lightning.

Upon hearing the fairy's words, his heart stirred slightly. He lowered his hands, which he had been preparing to raise, and looked up, opening his mouth.

It actually swallowed that golden lightning bolt that resembled a dragon.

After swallowing it, the Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo endured the burning and agonizing lightning within his body and revealed a bright smile, saying, "This feeling of cleansing the divine lightning is truly wonderful."

"Little girl, can we have one more take?"

Fairy Jin Shunyao was terrified. Her face paled as she cried out, "You, what kind of monster are you?"

The Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when his own fairy did not launch a second attack.

Although he was able to digest divine lightning, he was already feeling unwell after eating just one of these enormous, dragon-shaped golden divine lightning bolts. Eating two in a row would definitely cause serious problems.

He won't die, but Xia Zuo's boasting will inevitably come to an abrupt end.

Not only was she unharmed by the attack of the Divine Lightning, but she even devoured it. The Five Spirits Fairy was in complete confusion, having no idea what kind of being could do such a thing.

Even the most powerful extraterrestrial demon, the Formless Great Demon, would have to use its own demonic essence to offset the damage when attacked by the Divine Lightning of Purification. It would scream and smoke from its body, rather than wanting another round like this, still feeling unsatisfied.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the fairy's mind, and she realized a possibility.

Some people are not only unharmed by the cleansing divine lightning, but also gain great benefits from it, nourishing their souls.

That is a powerful cultivator with a lightning spiritual root.

They must be powerful cultivators, far beyond the reach of those in the Nascent Soul or Void Return realms.

Thinking of this, the Five Spirits Fairy suppressed her shock and lowered her head to tentatively ask, "May I ask how you, senior, came to appear in my sea of ​​consciousness?"

Tianjie Xiazuo narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tianmo Xiazuo: "So, you used my background to deceive this junior cultivator?"

Tianmo Xiazuo wasn't embarrassed at all: "Besides this method, I have no other way to make up a true story in such a short time."

"In short, Jin Shunyao believed it and treated me as a remnant soul of a senior who failed to transcend the tribulation. She treated me with the respect due to a half-master, visiting my sea of ​​consciousness at fixed times every day and asking me all sorts of questions about cultivation."

Xingji Xiazuo shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if you were able to fool her with the story you adapted from Tianjie Xiazuo's life, but I'm sure that fairy believed you because of the cultivation knowledge you told her."

The Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo laughed heartily: "Sigh, it doesn't matter, as long as my fairy can accept me."

Interstellar Xia Zuo grinned mischievously, "Accept? Are you sure she's not lying to you?"

"Think back to the past, when Hokage Natsume and Sasuke had just fused into Swift Release, what despicable things did you do using your Emperor Engine?"

"I've heard that cultivators have excellent memories. Will this Five Spirits Fairy really forget her shameful past?"

Xia Zuo earnestly reminded her, "Cultivators do have excellent memories and terrifying patience. She might spend hundreds of years thoroughly figuring out your background before taking advantage of your momentary lapse in attention to strike."

Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo: "————, I'll be careful."

Seeing that Tenma Natsuzo had fallen into a state of depression, Nanto Natsuzo happily said, "Thank you very much, Hokage Natsuzo. Your Wood Release has played a huge role in my life, allowing me to produce large quantities of food and clear away polluting dust."

"With Wood Release, I finally see hope for ending the apocalypse."

Hokage Natsuko replied with a smile, "No need to thank me. However, since you've produced food and cleared radiation, it's bound to attract covetous eyes. Are you confident in handling that?"

Nanto Natsuzo nodded confidently: "Don't worry, the power ceiling in the world of Hokuto Shinken is very low, but the power I share with everyone is very strong. No one is my match."

"Although I haven't met the boxing champion Rao yet, I've already killed that Holy Emperor Saosha who loved building pyramids, who was also the number one master of the Nanto Sacred Fist."

Nandou Xiazuo stretched out his right hand and gently grabbed: "I just grabbed it casually, and I shredded this freak who called himself the strongest phoenix."

"Even if Raoh is strong, he couldn't defeat Saint Saosha so easily, so I think my strength has surpassed Raoh's."

"It was with this confidence that I dared to publicly display the power of Wood Release, to accelerate the ripening of crops such as wheat on a large scale, and to clean up the polluted land."

"Every time I use Boil Release and Ice Release to bring rain, and then use Wood Release to promote plant growth, it's like holding a grand ceremony, making everyone present decide to join my ranks."

The Xiazuo people all praised it, saying, "This is hope!"

Generally speaking, the biggest problem in the end times is not disaster, because disaster cannot completely destroy everything.

The biggest problem in the apocalypse is not the scarcity of resources; even with limited resources, some people can still survive.

The biggest problem in the end times is the lack of hope; no matter what people do, it will ultimately be meaningless.

When people are shrouded in despair every moment, their hearts and order will completely collapse, and people themselves will become the greatest destroyers. This is the biggest problem in the end times.

However, when hope arises and is in the hands of a powerful force, 99% of people will willingly submit to the order shaped by that powerful force.

Even the most heinous villains would be willing to sacrifice their lives to protect hope.

Of course, the boxing champion Raoh is determined and will never give up his cause of unifying the world. He will definitely attack Nanto Shazo's forces and try to bring him into his empire.

But Rao was not a true emperor; he was essentially a warrior who would never command a large army to attack. Instead, he would personally challenge Nanto Shasa.

Nanto Natsuzo examined his hands and said with longing, "At that time, as long as I defeat the boxing champion Raoh, I can inherit his army and career."

"When the strongest violence and the greatest hope are combined, I can begin the work of completely pacifying this chaotic world."

Nandou Xiazuo was full of confidence and had no fear of the future.

The Grim Reaper Shazo continued, "I've just graduated, and tomorrow is the day for choosing my squad."

"My dream return this time has only been 4 months apart, it seems that the selection of squads will not be a peaceful process."

"By the way, I have been granted the Death Mark, which originated from the Soul King, and have practiced guiding souls through death."

"Nakakage Natsuzo, please be careful. Is it possible for you to communicate with the Shinigami of the Naruto world?"

Hokage Natsume was overjoyed. He had just received too many memories, and his attention was completely drawn to the magnificent experience of Natsume's Heavenly Tribulation. He hadn't noticed the matter of Natsume's Death God at all.

After being reminded, Hokage Natsu nods repeatedly: "I'll try it as soon as I wake up. I've been looking forward to the Fourth Hokage for a very, very long time."

"It's heartbreaking to think that such a top-tier beast is sleeping inside the Grim Reaper. I must rescue him and contribute to the development of Konoha under the Fifth Hokage's rule."

Xia Zuo and his colleagues were stunned: What kind of born capitalist is this, who even drags the dead up to extract surplus value?

Next, Star Chazo complained about his frustration at not being able to find an opportunity to wage war. He said the Confederation's political system was bloated and sluggish, but it was absolutely adept at preventing warlords from causing trouble.

Now, having risen to the highest command position of the airborne elite troops, Shazo can only hope that the Imperial army on the other side can attack and completely destroy the Confederate ruling system.

Interstellar Xiazuo has confirmed that the confederation of the civil service is like a coward; its entire political system is impeccable internally, but naturally weak and powerless externally.

Pirate Xia Zuo summed up his experience in one sentence: "I'm still in training. I just learned the Six Powers of the Navy and have mastered all three types of Haki, but there's still a big gap in terms of strength."

Marvel Shazo sensed the shared power and indeed discovered the presence of Haki. But to be honest, apart from the yellow Haki being somewhat weak, the Armament Haki and Observation Haki were quite powerful.

He couldn't help but ask, "Pirate Shazo, I think your Haki is really impressive. Who exactly are you comparing yourself to in terms of the difference you mentioned?"

Pirate Shazam asked in surprise, "Is that even a question?"

"My Armament Haki is far inferior to Garp's, my Observation Haki doesn't have Katakuri's special ability to foresee the future, and my Conqueror's Haki is nowhere near Shanks's."

"Isn't this a huge gap?"

Marvel's Xia Zuo nodded: "That's definitely the mindset of a great power. To be strong is to be the strongest in every aspect."

Just as the Xiazuo were laughing heartily, the bronze table began to tremble.

With a tremor, three figures materialized on the high-backed chairs on either side of the long table—the newlyweds!

A belated newcomer!
