From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Seeing this, Sasuke smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. One day in the future, Your Highness will see me use the power of the Dragon Vein and the power of the Thousand-Pulse Stone to save the world."

He intends to use the Dragon Vein and the Thousand-Pulse Stone to strengthen his power, and one of his goals in strengthening his power is to fight against the Otsutsuki clan in the future.

So, Sasuke wasn't lying when it came to saving the world.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Queen Sara gave Sasuke a deep look before fixing her gaze on the Thousand-Headed Stone at the center of the altar.

She then stepped forward and formed a hand seal to take out the Thousand-Pulse Stone, but Sasuke stopped her.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Sara turned to look at Sasuke, who pondered for two seconds before asking, "If we take the Thousand-Pull Stone now, will the Dragon Vein be affected in any way?"

"Well..." Queen Sarah pondered for a moment before replying, "It does have an impact, but it's not very significant."

So it still exists?

"Although the dragon vein was formed by the condensation of earth energy over a hundred years guided by the Thousand-Guiding Stone, the dragon vein has long become a separate entity. I suppose you have also discovered that the energy of the dragon vein is far different from the power of the Thousand-Guiding Stone; it is a completely new kind of power."

It should be some kind of natural energy, some kind of natural energy with the power of space and time!

Sasuke thought to himself, when he came into contact with the Dragon Vein before, he found that the energy of the Dragon Vein was similar to the energy he sensed on the Dragon Ball, except that it had the power of space and time.

Clearly, the so-called dragon vein is a massive collection of natural energy.

"Even without the Thousand-Attracting Stone, the dragon vein won't disappear, but..."

"It's just that the dragon vein's energy recovery speed will be much slower, right?"

Sasuke continued from where Queen Sara left off. When he returned to this world earlier, he checked and found that the dragon vein's originally immense energy had weakened considerably. It seemed that the energy required to travel through time and space was extremely large.

After going back and forth, the dragon veins became extremely weak and could no longer travel through time and space.

Fortunately, Sasuke discovered that the Dragon Vein was slowly recovering its energy; otherwise, he would have been devastated.

“That’s right. Although the dragon vein is independent and can regenerate its energy on its own, its regeneration speed will be much slower if the Thousand-Guiding Stone is missing.”

Upon hearing this, Sasuke nodded and then asked, "If we don't take the Thousand-Pulse Stone, how long will it take for the Dragon Vein's energy to recover with its help?"

"About two years!"

Queen Sarah thought for a moment and then replied.

Two years, what a coincidence!

After pondering for a moment, Sasuke said, "Then let's not take it for now, and come back to collect it in two years."

"You want to travel through time and space again using the dragon vein?"

"Ah."

Sasuke nodded; he knew he absolutely had to go to that world.

Even if he obtains the Thousand-Point Stone now, he cannot immediately awaken the Rinnegan.

While increasing one's own strength is certainly a given.

However, if the lack of a Thousand-Stone in the dragon vein results in insufficient energy for him to travel through time and space two and a half years later, then the losses would outweigh the gains.

Sasuke decided to come back two years later to retrieve it, by which time the Dragon Vein would have recovered, and taking the Thousand-Point Stone would not affect the Dragon Vein in the slightest.

He still has more than half a year to familiarize himself with his Rinnegan in preparation.

"......"

Upon hearing this, Queen Sarah remained silent, her thoughts unreadable.

"Oh, right." Sasuke seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a storage scroll from his pouch.

"As I said before, there will be a generous reward after the matter is completed. This is half of As... cough cough, there are 15 million taels in it, as well as some medicines that I have prepared myself. Although these medicines cannot cure Your Highness's body, I think they will make Your Highness feel better and live a few more years without any problem."

Queen Sara hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the scroll that Sasuke handed her.

She didn't care much about the medicine, but 15 million taels was a huge sum for their Loulan caravan at the moment.

"Of course, I know that the value of these things is far less than that of the Dragon Vein and the Thousand-Tier Stone."

After Queen Sara accepted the scroll, Sasuke smiled and took out a purple glass dagger: "This is my token. If Your Majesty ever needs any help in the future, just activate it with your chakra and I will sense it. I will do my best to help you then."

"this....."

Upon hearing this, Queen Sarah paused for a moment, then quickly bowed and accepted the gift with both hands.

"Thank you, Lord Sasuke!"

Although Queen Sara was not a ninja, she had her own unique abilities. She could tell that although the young man in front of her was young, his strength was no less than that of the Fourth Hokage she had seen more than ten years ago.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, when he reaches the same age as the Fourth Hokage, his strength will inevitably surpass that of the Fourth Hokage, making him a unique and unparalleled powerhouse in the ninja world.

Such a promise from a powerful figure is extremely precious.

If Queen Sara were alone, she wouldn't care much about these things, but her Loulan subjects desperately needed them.

Even if she herself is nearing death, if the people of Loulan encounter an insurmountable danger, her daughter can use this token to seek help from Uchiha Sasuke.

"hehe....."

Seeing Queen Sara accept his Flying Thunder God Crystal Kunai, Sasuke's handsome face beamed even brighter with a smile, and he said in a seemingly casual tone:

"Your Majesty, you promised to give me the magic array and spells to gather the power of the earth in the central tower. What do you think...?"

"Lord Sasuke, please wait a moment. I will begin writing after I return to the caravan..."

"It's alright, I have paper and pen here."

"........."

Thus, after obtaining the magic circle formula of the central tower and the method to open and hide the Loulan ruins, Sasuke sent Queen Sara back to the Loulan caravan and embarked on his journey back to the Sound Village.

Chapter 274, The Trinity, The Ultimate Path.

Half a month later, on Ghost Island, inside the research base.

Sasuke flipped through the artificial human technology he obtained from Orochimaru in a parallel world. Although the knowledge involved in this technology was extremely advanced, it did not stump him, who had inherited Orochimaru's memories.

In just two days, Sasuke had learned the above knowledge and started to put it into practice.

After looking through it for a while, Sasuke put down the scroll in his hand and stared solemnly at the nutrient tank in front of him, which was engraved with various sealing techniques and connected to various instruments.

Inside the nutrient tank, a blood-red embryo, or rather a blastocyst, was being continuously supplied with nutrients by the various tubes connecting it to the tank.

"It's a bottomless pit."

Sasuke took a deep look at the embryo in the nutrient tank and frowned.

The embryo before them was formed from the genetic cells extracted by Sasuke from Toneri Otsutsuki, Hinata Hyuga, and Kimimaro.

In addition, it was developed from a new type of cell that was formed by recombining Sasuke's own gene cells that had been filtered out of the God Tree factor.

At the very beginning of the formation of the new Otsutsuki cells, Sasuke used the modified Heavenly Curse Seal by Orochimaru from a parallel world to inscribe his own consciousness as Uchiha Sasuke, replacing all the data within the cells.

In other words, when this Otsutsuki cell develops into a human, it will naturally become a clone of Sasuke, a clone that resembles both a shadow clone and a clone of Nagato's Six Paths of Pain.

This is precisely the alternative approach Sasuke came up with after realizing he could neither learn Sage Mode nor fuse with the Otsutsuki bloodline.

Using Sasuke's own cells as the main body, a body was created using artificial human technology, and his consciousness was replaced with the data from the Sage's Seal.

Two clones were created: one Otsutsuki clone and one Sage clone.

One body, three transformations; three-in-one!

Buddhism speaks of the Buddhas of the past, present, and future.

Christianity has the concept of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Taoism also has the saying that one qi transforms into three pure ones.

From a mystical perspective, what Sasuke is doing now somehow aligns with the accounts of his past life.

The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, and Three gives birth to all things.

During these two years, when Sasuke is unable to practice Sage Mode or fuse with the Otsutsuki bloodline, he will use every means and resource he can think of to make his two clones grow to a level that is infinitely close to that of his original body.

Two years later, after Sasuke achieved the union of Yin and Yang and awakened the Rinnegan, he used the all-consuming eye technique hidden in his spiritual sea—Takami-no-Summoning—to devour the Otsutsuki clone and the Sage clone.

He ascended to the heavens in one step, simultaneously possessing the three supreme powers of the Otsutsuki, the Divine Tree, and the Sage!

This is also the ultimate path Sasuke envisioned!

However, Sasuke encountered a problem as soon as the plan began, while cultivating the Otsutsuki clone.

In the past two weeks, Sasuke has spent most of his resources and nutrients cultivating this embryo, enough to cultivate twenty or thirty clones of Yamato.

However, the resources available to clone twenty or thirty Yamato clones could only barely allow this piece of genetic material to combine into a tiny embryo.

The Ōtsutsuki embryo before them seemed like an unfathomable bottomless pit, accepting any highly nutritious substance without question.

But Sasuke knew that with the resources of his Otogakure village, even if they were increased tenfold, it would be impossible to cultivate it into a living being.

Sasuke was both surprised and delighted to realize this.

What's astonishing is that the resources and energy required to cultivate a single Otsutsuki clone are so vast, an astronomical figure for Sasuke at his current level.

The good thing is that this also means that the potential of this clone is so high that it is terrifying, which is why the energy and nutrition needed by this clone is like a bottomless pit.

Sasuke also roughly guessed why this clone had such great potential, because the clone in front of him was a member of the Otsutsuki clan!

This Otsutsuki doesn't refer to the Otsutsuki on the moon, but rather to an Otsutsuki like Momoshiki Kaguya!

Otsutsuki Toneri's bloodline was already considered a return to his ancestral lineage, but it was only a return to his ancestral lineage. It can only be said that Toneri was infinitely close to the Otsutsuki clan, but not the Otsutsuki clan itself.

The Otsutsuki clone before them, having acquired the blood of Toneri (who had reverted to his ancestral form), also possessed the blood of Byakugan Princess and the blood of Shikotsumyaku. The combination of these three elements produced an incredible effect!

They can now be completely regarded as the Otsutsuki clan!

"So this is the truth behind why Kaguya Otsutsuki lost most of her power when she gave birth to the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers. The birth of each member of the Otsutsuki clan represents countless resources and energy."

In the original timeline, it was clearly mentioned that Kaguya Otsutsuki was the one who gave birth to the Hamura and Hagoromo brothers, who lost most of their power. If her power had not been lost, the Hamura and Hagoromo brothers would not have been able to seal her at her peak.

'No wonder every member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, even their servants like Kinshiki, reached the Six Paths level after they grew up; the resources required to nurture their birth were simply astonishing!'

Thinking of this, Sasuke looked at the Otsutsuki embryo in front of him and made a self-deprecating remark.

"So, if this clone successfully comes into being, its strength at birth might even surpass that of my current self? Heh..."
