"Human... where are you?"
Facing Ryun's direct challenge, Otsutsuki Yagara's expression instantly turned ferocious.
"I am still right here. If you want to come, I can wait for you here," Ryun answered the other's question with a laugh.
These provocative words fell into Otsutsuki Yagara's ears, but they strangely calmed him down instead.
"You are good. I remember you," Otsutsuki Yagara coldly threw out this sentence, then directly crushed the mirror in his hand.
In the main hall of the Otsutsuki clan, Otsutsuki Yagara's Byakugan was bloodshot. The next second, he even took several deep breaths in a row to soothe his increasingly violent heart.
He realized the clan had kicked an iron plate again this time. Facing a powerful enemy, useless anger would only make him lose his rationality and affect his judgment.
Otsutsuki Yagara was considering whether to just charge over without caring about anything.
The reason he now had reservations was not that he feared Ryun, but that reaching Ryun's location would consume a great amount of time.
Previously, when the four Divine Realm experts went out, they took the Myriad Stars Chart capable of ultra-long-distance teleportation. After all, no one expected the four Divine Realm supreme experts to lose this campaign... so Otsutsuki Yagara had agreed to let them take the Myriad Stars Chart, aiming for a quick round trip.
The Myriad Stars Chart was carried by Otsutsuki Karashi, meaning it was in his personal dimensional space. Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi's final ultimate move had burned Karashi's dimensional space to ashes, so naturally, the Myriad Stars Chart did not survive.
Now, without this clan treasure, even for Otsutsuki Yagara, traversing the starry sky would be very strenuous. If he alone traveled at full speed, it would likely take several years to reach Ryun's location.
If Ryun stayed put and went nowhere, then he could go over. He just feared the other would play him for a fool. The time wasted in this round trip would be significant...
Thinking of that human's smiling face, and adding the fact that this damned human had the precedent of disguising himself as Zeroshiki to trick him, Otsutsuki Yagara would not mindlessly charge over based on someone's words.
"Karashi... Mitoshi... Damn it."
Otsutsuki Yagara's heart was filled with grief and resentment. His fierce eyes couldn't help but look towards a marked point on a star map. That was precisely the location of the Ninja World.
At this moment, Otsutsuki Yagara secretly vowed that he would personally erase this planet to avenge the clan's four Divine Realm supreme experts.
Meanwhile, in the Kamui dimension.
"Will he come..."
Not receiving a definite reply, Ryun couldn't help but frown.
He planned to stay here and wait for a period of time to see if the other would come.
Of course, he wasn't in a hurry for the final decisive battle right now, as Orochimaru and the others were already on their way to the Otsutsuki clan territory.
Once they arrived, they would create an ultra-long-range summoning array to summon him over. So, even if he lingered here now, it wouldn't hinder the timeline for the campaign against the Otsutsuki clan.
After staying in the Kamui dimension for a month, Ryun returned to the main world space. Afterwards, he traveled back to the planet where Yoshiki was, planning to wait there for the arrival of that Otsutsuki clan leader.
What this world discovered by the Yoshiki pair was originally called was hardly known anymore. However, since Otsutsuki Yoshiki ruled here for eight hundred years, this planet was also called the Star of Yoshiki.
Currently, the Star of Yoshiki, having lost the rule of Otsutsuki Yoshiki, had become very chaotic. This state of chaos would last a long time. Only when a new ruler emerged would the world transform from disorder into order.
Returning to the Star of Yoshiki, Ryun did not go back to that luxurious palace. Instead, he went to places with many people, intending to visit this unfamiliar world.
Unfortunately, after several days of travel, he was somewhat disappointed. The humans living in this world had weak moral concepts. They were only slightly better than wild beasts. Otsutsuki Yoshiki had used force to destroy this world's former civilization and utterly transformed it into a large-scale breeding ground.
"Even without the existence of the tumor (Otsutsuki), the poisoned land still needs a long time to recover before it can once again blossom with the flowers of civilization..."
After witnessing the chaos of the Star of Yoshiki, Ryun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Humans who had been reared for eight hundred years would not escape the fate of being enslaved and ruled just because the Yoshiki pair died. Even if great sages or wise men emerged to guide them, truly achieving change would require at least sixty years or more.
Ryun did not have that much time or energy to step by step guide the humans of the Star of Yoshiki toward civilization. However, out of humanitarianism, he did not choose to stand idly by. Instead, he spent three days helping this world return to a normal state as soon as possible.
On the first day, Ryun used his powerful sensory ability to feel the lives of the humans on the Star of Yoshiki and identify the major problems existing within them.
On the second day, he used violent means to mercilessly destroy the group of Yoshiki's lackeys he had previously overlooked.
On the third day, using the power of Yin-Yang Release, he left behind huge, indestructible and unalterable stone tablets on those ruins. On them were written teachings to educate all living beings in various local languages.
The humans of the Star of Yoshiki, both men and women, had been treated as two-legged sheep by Otsutsuki Yoshiki. He made them constantly reproduce and develop, until finally being sacrificed to the Divine Tree. This resulted in the obscene and debauched chaos of this place.
The first teaching Ryun wrote on the stone tablets was to let them know they were humans, not livestock that only knew reproduction, or even incest.
What this world would become in the future was up to them. Ryun had no intention of ruling this place, nor did he care whether the humans here would remember him for good or ill. He did all this merely following his heart. To put it bluntly, it was simply to pass the time out of boredom...
Observing the humans of the Star of Yoshiki transition from 'sick order' into 'chaotic disorder', and then gradually evolve 'new order', this process, although accompanied by countless cruelties and bloodshed, allowed Ryun to witness more complex human nature.
"Destruction is easy, creation is hard... Shattering will is easy, reshaping beliefs is difficult..."
Ryun eliminated a batch of old tumors, and new boils grew among the human population. Rule remained the unchanging theme, and the phenomenon of enslavement seemingly hadn't changed much either.
"Enough, do as you please..." Ryun sighed. This world could not return to a state of purity and vitality in a short time. The people of the Star of Yoshiki were the same. The evolution of civilization required a transition and needed time.
Ryun found a place with clear waters and green mountains. There, he familiarized himself with the abilities of the Six Paths puppets while waiting for the possible arrival of a powerful Otsutsuki enemy.
Time gradually passed in waiting. However, not long after, his remotely located Impure World Reincarnation clone in the Ninja World sent back a message of 'enemy invasion'.
