From Hokage to Visionary

clatter.

The long bronze table was knocked, making a soft sound.

However, every sound was like a huge drum, hitting everyone's heart heavily, and the invisible sense of oppression filled the church of bones like a mountain.

Ohnoki was extremely upset in his heart, and even took his anger out on that "audacious" bastard, who had caused them so much trouble!

After a moment of silent suppression, Uchiha Sogetsu slowly opened his mouth and said, "After the original creator was betrayed and fell into a deep sleep, two great wills were born from his body."

Everyone's thoughts seemed to follow his voice, floating together in the boundless waves, crossing infinite time and space, and returning to the ancient legends.

"Two wills, each holding different powers."

"And one of the wills contained the negative personalities of all living beings and was the embodiment of extreme emotions. So He went completely 'crazy' and planned to devour the world created by the Creator and return all things to 'one', thus becoming the true, original Creator who is 'all' and 'one'!"

I understand. I understand everything.

Orochimaru suddenly realized that he finally knew the 'truth'.

Meanwhile, Ohnoki next to him had an expression of 'as expected', his guess was correct.

'Adam' is one of the two great wills born from the body of the 'Prime Creator', a genuine god.

In the church.

Everyone was shocked at the truth they had just learned, and vaguely pieced together a shocking fact from the fragmentary information.

However, before everyone could fully digest the information that 'Adam' was the will of the original creator, Uchiha Munetsuki, who was sitting high up in the first place, dropped another bombshell!

"This time I am calling you all together for another purpose..."

Uchiha Sogetsu tapped the table with his index finger, bringing everyone who was immersed in shock back to reality.

He lowered his eyes and said in a very peaceful tone: "The blasphemous stone tablet that records the "Path of God"... has been born."

Chapter 202 Twenty-two Paths to God

God's Way?!

Desecrating the Slate!?

Although Adam's tone was calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter, it caused a storm in the hearts of everyone present.

"Mr. Adam, may I ask..."

Orochimaru's throat was dry, his eyes were bloodshot, and his entire mood was in a state of extreme excitement, mixed with a hint of desire.

He had some vague guesses, but he wasn't sure.

The abnormal behavior of Higanbana immediately attracted the attention of Ohnoki. This old fox was so smart that he could guess from some subtle movements and tone: "Does this guy... know something?"

Soon, Orochimaru realized his own loss of composure, took a few deep breaths, and barely suppressed the desire in his heart. He licked his dry lips and asked with a trembling voice, "Mr. Adam, what is the "God's Way" you are talking about?"

"That's literally what it means..."

Uchiha Sogetsu chuckled, and then said slowly and meaningfully: "The path to God is... to complete the promotion of life levels through specific rituals and methods, and finally become a god."

Just two simple words, yet they carry a weight of thousands of pounds!

Even the void seemed to be shaking, like a vast expanse of ocean pouring down. The extremely heavy pressure washed over everyone's fragile bodies and minds.

Becoming a god...what a blasphemous word!

With the human body, one can cross the insurmountable chasm, complete the advancement of life level, and thus... "become a god"!

No wonder... no wonder it's called "blasphemous slate"!

Orochimaru suppressed his excitement, clasping his palms tightly with his five fingers. Even though his skin was pierced by his nails, he seemed not to feel any pain at all. There was only fanaticism in his eyes.

He guessed right! It was indeed like this!

It was not until this moment that he finally understood how ridiculous his previous thoughts were!

It's just like a frog in a trapped place, looking at the sky in the small space above the well, and arrogantly thinking that this is the whole world. However, it doesn't know... the vastness of the world is beyond the imagination of the frog!

This... this is the ideal he should pursue!

Eternal life was nothing compared to the temptation of becoming a god, and he discarded it in an instant.

He forced himself to lower his head, fearing that he might displease 'that person', and glanced at other people's reactions out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, everyone was in the same situation as him, and fell into extreme frenzy.

For a while.

In the huge church of bones, the only sound left was rapid breathing. If one looked through the hearts of the people, one could see that at this moment their hearts were being hit by one huge wave after another, and their thoughts were like splashing water, which lasted for a long time.

a long time.

The ignited desire gradually subsided.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Adam." Ohnoki was the first to react and apologized for his loss of composure. "What you just said was really... shocking to us."

"Mr. Adam, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Konan pressed lightly on her chest, feeling her beating heart, a bright light flashed in her eyes. She thought of Yahiko, Nagato's parents, and her own parents... Perhaps, everyone will have a chance to see each other again.

"Mr. Adam! What you mean is... even mortals like us can... can..." Orochimaru clenched his fists, his palms full of sweat.

He had never been so nervous, fearing that the answer he got would drag him from heaven to hell.

"Don't be nervous, take your time."

'Adam's' clear and pure eyes exuded a warm and gentle aura, as if they could see through people's hearts, which calmed down the nervous Orochimaru.

"Oh, I never thought that I would have such an embarrassing day. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, Mr. Adam."

Orochimaru smiled self-deprecatingly. After calming down, he stood up and bowed to express his respect. Then he sat down again, sorted out his thoughts and said, "The path of God you mentioned, can it allow mortals like us... uh, to step into the forbidden realm?"

"can."

'Adam' said lightly.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Orochimaru clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with desire and fanaticism, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, forming an amazing arc, his long tongue licked his lips, and a smile filled his face.

"Mr. Adam, can the 'God's Way' be used by multiple people?" Xiaonan looked at Yan, Higanbana and Bai with caution and asked the most important question.

After these words were spoken, the eyes of the others turned slightly cold.

Immediately, the atmosphere seemed to become much stiffer in an instant, and the looks between them were wary and hostile.

There is only one blasphemous tablet...

Correspondingly, there is only one "quota"!

Orochimaru rubbed his fingers, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and a cruel arc appeared at the corner of his lips. He thought to himself: "With your strength, are you qualified to compete with me? Hehe..."

White Fang lowered his head and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Xiaonan seemed to sense the tension in the air. She clenched her fists, stared with her eyes wide open, and bit her lips with her pearly teeth. She thought to herself, "I will never let this opportunity go..."

The cunning Ohnoki frowned and looked at the position where Adam was with confusion, unable to understand his intentions.

The importance of the path to God and its appeal to everyone here are unquestionable. No one is willing to give up the huge temptation of becoming a God!

But the problem is... there is only one blasphemous slate.

There are four of them here. Could it be that... Adam means to let them compete for this only spot?

Oonoki shook his head silently, rejecting the idea.

Such an obvious and despicable method could never be the intention of a god, and Adam would not summon the people just to let them kill each other for a piece of stone.

There must be a secret hidden in this that they don’t know about!

Ohnoki suddenly laughed, attracting the attention of the others. He said slowly, "Haha, there's actually no need for everyone to be nervous, let alone hostile to each other."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and chuckled coldly: "Mr. Yan, does he seem to have any new ideas?"

"I dare not, it's just a small guess."

Ohnoki smiled and said, "We are blessed by fate. Under the guidance of Mr. Adam, we are sitting here together. This is the greatest luck. As for desecrating the divine path on the stone slab... I think there is no need for everyone to be nervous."

"What do you mean?"

Konan asked, frowning.

"In fact, as long as you calm down, you will understand."

Ohnoki looked up at the high seat and bowed to show respect: "Mr. Adam, since you mentioned the path to God, you must have expected all this, so I think... desecrating the slate should allow more than one person to become a god."

After that, he paused again, not daring to look directly at Adam, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Mr. Adam, I don't know... am I right?"

Only then did everyone wake up from a dream.

Yes, if only one person can become a god, wouldn’t that be encouraging them to kill each other?

Mr. Adam must have had a more noble reason to gather everyone together to join the Twilight Hermits. He would never use such despicable means, nor would he sit idly by and watch them fight each other.

Think about how everyone behaved just now...

Only then did they notice that Adam had been silent from beginning to end. He even stopped tapping on the table at some point. Although shrouded in a hazy state, there was a hint of disappointment in his lowered gaze.

Konan and Orochimaru immediately lowered their heads, sweat dripping down their cheeks. They stood up nervously and bowed, asking for Adam's forgiveness.

They knew that it was their lowly desires and behavior that disappointed this high and mighty being.

“I’m glad you guys realize your mistake.”

Uchiha Sogetsu was quite satisfied.

Originally, he planned to stop it himself, but he didn't expect Ohnoki to step forward, which had a better effect.

Looking at the people who had regained their composure, Uchiha Munetsuki said slowly, "Now, let's answer the first question. It is recorded on the "blasphemous slate" that there are a total of... "twenty-two" paths to God!"

Then he sat up slightly.

The words were accompanied by the "Dragon's Might", and with them came a storm of the soul. They resounded like thunder in the huge church of bones, shaking every inch of the void:

"Fool!"

"Door!"

"mistake!"

"Dragon!"

"tyrant!"

"White Tower!"

"sun!"

"The Hanged Man!"

"moon!"

"Mother!"

"grim Reaper!"

"dark!"
