From Hokage to Visionary

But the problem is that Otsutsuki Shibaai, who was the closest to God, died a long time ago, leaving only an empty shell.

No one knows who killed Otsutsuki Shibaui, the closest person to God, but the man in the hallucination just now was undoubtedly Otsutsuki Shibaui!

"Could it be that Otsutsuki Shibaui is not dead?" When Jigen thought of this possibility, his pupils shrank slightly, and then his breathing became rapid. His excitement made him tremble all over: "Otsutsuki Shibaui, could it be that he has really crossed the level of life and become a 'god'?!"

The Otsutsuki clan wandered in the universe, constantly planting sacred trees, absorbing the life of the planets to produce fruit, and then devouring it before moving on to the next planet.

The purpose of repeating this cycle is to transcend the levels of life and eventually step into the realm of "God".

The image that just appeared in his mind undoubtedly made Isshiki more certain that the legendary Otsutsuki Shibaai was not dead, but had transcended the levels of life and entered the realm of God, and those intermittent images were the revelations bestowed upon him by the god of the Otsutsuki clan.

When he thought of this possibility, Isshiki in Jigen's body felt very excited.

He slowly raised his head and looked towards the blue sky. He could vaguely feel that the source of the sound was the asteroid orbiting in the orbit of this planet.

That planet is the moon, and inside it is sealed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the Gaiden Demon Statue, the body of the Ten-Tails.

"Kaguya, Kaguya, Kaguya."

Cixian covered her face, her eyes through her fingers were gloomy and cold, and the corners of her lips curled up cruelly: "Very good, it seems that we have to settle this thousand-year-old grudge in advance."

Memories from thousands of years ago flashed back like a tide.

At that time, as Kaguya's boss, he came to this planet together to plant the sacred tree.

However, during this period, Kaguya, in order to monopolize the fruit of the sacred tree, suddenly attacked him and beat him severely, injuring him to the point of near death.

So he had no choice but to live in the body of "Cixian", on the one hand to recuperate from his injuries, and on the other hand to wait for the opportunity to regain the fruit of the sacred tree.

Now, the time has come.

Cixian followed the guidance in his mind and found a ruined site.

He walked along a dilapidated road in the ruins, slowly exploring deeper. On both sides were walls made of stones, but they had long become mottled and yellowed over the long years, and were covered with a large number of vines, as if they were wearing a thick spring coat, revealing a sense of heaviness and vicissitudes left over from historical changes.

If it is regarded as a tourist attraction, it is definitely an excellent place.

However, at this moment, Cixian was in no mood to appreciate the rich history of this ancient city. No matter how rich the history was, it could never be as "rich" as his.

After roughly breaking open the ruins and plowing out a wide, walkable path, he followed the "hints" from somewhere and found the passage buried by the ruins of the ancient city.

This passage is quite old. It is narrow, cramped, and dark inside, and the damp air has a pungent smell.

Cixian frowned slightly, revealing a look of disgust, but considering the usefulness of this passage, he finally pinched his nose, quickened his pace and entered the passage, and did not stop all the way to the underground of the ancient city ruins, which was a huge space like a cave.

In the middle of the cave space is a light blue lake, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with crystals.

But what is worth noting is that around the lake, there are large areas of something like 'foam', floating at a slow speed, completely blocking the route to the lake.

"A defensive spell?" Cixian stared at the bubbles, but a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that we have found it. The 'passage' is indeed here!"

After saying that, he walked straight towards the lake, as if he didn't care about the "bubbles".

Divine art·Shaoming Vigana!

Just when he was about to be touched by the bubbles, Jigen's right eye glowed with golden light, and he was apparently performing a pupil technique.

The bubbles shrank instantly, like sesame seeds, and the route that was originally completely blocked revealed a wide road.

Cixian leaped and jumped directly into the light blue lake.

Pfft!

The water splashed and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

Cixian dived into the lake, like a nimble flying fish, suddenly accelerating and sprinting, leaving ripples underwater.

The deeper you go, the darker the color of the lake becomes, gradually changing from light blue to an unsettling, ominous and eerie red.

Moreover, not only that, the density in the deep part of the lake was also gradually increasing. The surrounding water suddenly turned into some kind of thick colloid, which seemed to contain life. Cixian could even hear a pulse similar to the heartbeat of a living creature.

A strong sense of uneasiness was sending out wild warnings in my mind.

However, just as Cixian was hesitating, that urging voice sounded in his mind again.

"The Lost God. The Eternal Howler. The Father of Demons"

Jigen became resolute again, his eyes were extremely firm, and he said to himself: "No, I can't give up, I am getting close to 'God', it is Otsutsuki Shibai who is calling me!"

However, if you look at his eyes at this moment, you can find that two unknown figures are reflected in the depths of his pupils.

Chapter 263: A Utopia Far Away from the World

A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the pink lake.

The fierce water flow raised a surging tide, which crashed into the rocks on the shore and burst into waves.

Boom!

Suddenly, accompanied by a loud bang, tens of thousands of tons of lake water were lifted into the sky.

In the mist, there was an elegant humanoid creature wearing a white long-sleeved tailcoat and loose black pants.

His skin was as pale as ashes, and he had a half-crown-like horn on his head, extending from the back of his head to the front. He was walking on the dark void cracks as if he was walking on a staircase.

It was as if there was a god who controlled the order of heaven and earth, and the atmosphere wherever he passed seemed to tremble.

The mysterious man who suddenly broke in was actually Otsutsuki Isshiki, not Jigen in human form.

However, when he looked around, he couldn't help but frowning, a little confused on his face, and muttered: "No, did I go in the wrong direction?"

What came into his sight was a vast expanse of lush primeval forest.

Not far from the lake is an abandoned ancient city ruins. Like the previous ancient city, the two have extremely similar styles. They have also been abandoned for a long time and are also covered with large vines.

This place seems to be almost exactly the same as the place I came here before.

Otsutsuki Isshiki was confused and wanted to find the answer, so he looked up at the sky. The sun, emitting warm light and slightly dazzling, was still hanging in the sky.

However, it was this one glance that made him discover the clue, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

There is only the 'sun' in the sky here.

But the real sky can never have only the sun. Even during the day, the stars will only have their light obscured instead of disappearing completely.

So. there is a problem!

Roll your eyes!

The hideous blue veins bulge out around the eye sockets.

With the 360-degree black and white perspective, Otsutsuki Isshiki's vision was doubled, and he could see through layers of camouflage in an instant.

The sun hanging in the sky is essentially some kind of man-made device.

The real "sky" is actually a rocky crust that is hundreds of meters thick and extremely hard. Outside is the vast starry sky and a huge blue planet.

Obviously, he did not come to the wrong place, but went directly to the interior of the satellite through the lake.

"Humph."

Otsutsuki Isshiki snorted coldly to express his disdain.

Through his white eyes, he discovered that there seemed to be some kind of "device" under the ruins of the ancient city, and the voice in his mind seemed to be guiding there.

So, Otsutsuki Isshiki no longer hesitated, and his whole body instantly turned into a sharp arrow.

Boom!

In an instant, the waves were emptied.

The roaring air waves were like a giant dragon, passing through the sky, leaving behind traces that looked like cracks.

Arriving above the ruins of the ancient city, Otsutsuki Isshiki looked down, his brows furrowed uncontrollably, and an expression of disgust and loathing flashed in his eyes.

I saw the blood-red roots of some kind of plant spreading out from the ground, completely exposed to the sun, just like the blood vessels of the human body, growing wildly in the ancient city and covering every corner.

But what really made him uncomfortable were those tangled bloody roots.

It is covered with densely packed tumors that resemble those produced by some kind of disease, and many of them are like flower buds that have blossomed, revealing stamens inside that resemble female genitalia.

Those disgusting stamens were still pulsating like breathing, and brown-green pus was oozing out of them.

The veins on Otsutsuki Isshiki's forehead bulged and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

He originally thought that he had been to many planets and was knowledgeable. There was nothing that could cause any fluctuations in his mood. However, he was severely slapped in the face by reality.

He had never seen anything so strange, so bizarre, so physically uncomfortable, and so challenging to the limits of his mental endurance.

Just one glance made him feel mentally confused, as if he was thrown into a whirlpool, spinning thousands of times in a very short time. He felt dizzy and as if he was being pricked by needles.

At this moment, the call in my mind became clearer.

"The Lost God. The Eternal Howler."

"The Lost God. The Eternal Howler."

"The Lost God. The Eternal Howler."

It was Otsutsuki Shibaai's call, and it was very close. Otsutsuki Isshiki endured the stabbing pain in his head like a needle prick, and looked for the source of the voice.

Soon, he found that the blood-colored plant roots scattered throughout the ruins of the ancient city all came from an abyss that looked like a crack.

When he reached the edge of the abyss, Otsutsuki Isshiki felt inexplicably palpitating. He had a terrifying premonition that seemed to threaten his life, which prompted him to stop.

"The Lost God. The Eternal Howler."

At this time, the calling voice intensified again.

Thinking of being able to get close to the Otsutsuki clan's god 'Otsutsuki Shibaui', his breathing became more rapid, his face flushed and veins filled, as if he had fallen into paranoid madness: "It's okay, this is Otsutsuki Shibaui, it's the god calling me!"

Then, bewitched by the growing thoughts in his mind, Isshiki Otsutsuki no longer hesitated and jumped into the abyss.

In an instant, the lightless and silent darkness around him completely swallowed him up.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

In a daze, Otsutsuki Isshiki regained consciousness and felt a cold wind blowing on him, which seemed to be mixed with some whispers.

His thoughts slowly came out of the sinking, and as his consciousness returned to his body, Otsutsuki Isshiki, who regained control, slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is a bloody red fog.

It seemed like some kind of living creature, hovering above and slowly wriggling.

After his brain regained clarity, Otsutsuki Isshiki suddenly turned over and stood up. Without bothering to check his condition, he hurriedly looked around to confirm his environment.

The first thing that caught his eye was the pink mist that was much lighter than the one above, and the dimly lit space. But what attracted his attention the most was a huge, twisted statue that looked like a human and was entangled in blood-red branches.

The statue is sitting cross-legged on the ground with its hands in the lotus position as if praying. Its facial expression is ferocious and distorted, like that of a demon, and its nine eyes arranged horizontally are tightly closed.

The blood-red branches seemed to have completely merged with the statue, growing out from all over its body, tightly entwining and binding it. Those disgusting brown tree tumors bloomed all over the statue, blooming blood-red and strange flowers. Brown-green pus continued to ooze out from the stamens that resembled the female lower body.

"Is this the shell of the Ten-Tails?"

Otsutsuki Isshiki looked at the strange statue and felt a familiar feeling.

As a member of the Otsutsuki clan, he of course recognized the statue, which was actually the 'Sacred Tree', the outer shell of the Ten-Tails, also known as the Outer Path Demon Statue.

But the question is, what are those blood-red branches? !

At this time, Otsutsuki Isshiki discovered that there was actually a town under the "Outer Path Demon Statue".

The architectural style and overall layout are the same as the two ancient city ruins he had seen before. The only difference is that this town is not a ruin. It exudes the breath of life everywhere. A large amount of chakra can be sensed inside, which obviously indicates that there are people living there.

"Welcome, stranger from the outside world."

A little boy in a white robe suddenly appeared like a ghost, without any warning.

Otsutsuki Isshiki's heart beat violently, his pupils suddenly shrank, he turned his head to follow the voice, looking at the little boy who suddenly appeared from behind him: "Who are you? Where is this place?"

"My name is Otsutsuki Toneri."

The little boy had a blank expression on his face, his skin was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and he said calmly: "As for this place, it is an 'ideal place far away from the world'."

Chapter 264 They Have Already Seen You

An utopia far away from the world?

Hearing the little boy's description, Otsutsuki Isshiki found it ridiculous.
