After a year of the Ten-Tails voraciously plundering the God Realm's earthly energy, Liuyun discovered that this place was far more resilient than he had imagined. Although the Ten-Tails had an enormous appetite, the God Realm had yet to show any obvious abnormalities from its mad consumption.
Having verified this, and seeing that no one had come looking to cause trouble for either him or the Ten-Tails, Liuyun entered the Kamui World with peace of mind.
"Now, all I need to do is wait patiently."
Nearly seven hundred years had passed since Ten-Tails Number One last bore fruit. In other words, it would only take around three hundred more years before it bore fruit again.
While Liuyun cultivated diligently and waited for the God Tree to bear fruit, Susanoo-no-Mikoto sent someone to find him and presented him with the so-called test.

The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi wielded by his Susanoo could not even be called a high-quality imitation. The inherited divine sword in Ninigi-no-Mikoto's possession was the true Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi!
"This is the ancient divine artifact I dug out of the Eight-Headed Serpent's belly after risking my
