The universe of stars.
Like an endless dreamland, it stretches out boundlessly in the embrace of time and space.
The stars are like precious gems in a vast sea of sand, with hundreds of billions of stars twinkling with their unique brilliance.
Galaxyes are like giant islands scattered across the dark ocean of the universe. Each galaxy contains billions of stars that rotate, evolve, and collide, playing the eternal melody of birth and death.
This is the ultimate place of all time and space, the highest and most beautiful!
The primordial river, suspended high above the sea of stars, illuminates countless eras.
——
The Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall.
This place is known as the Land of Stars, inhabited by countless creatures, including many mythical beings.
Within the left spiral arm of the star system.
In the void, countless chain-like bridges form a colossal space city.
In the city center stands a rose-red statue that is over 10,000 meters tall.
The goddess statue exuded an aura that stirred the soul, accompanied by the resounding beat of drums, echoing throughout the divine realm.
Alice Yuna, the goddess of fire and poetry.
This is her Divine Kingdom.
Since ascending to godhood three thousand years ago, she has been appointed by the empire to rule this star system.
After thousands of years of boring and mundane days, recently, an interesting fellow finally appeared.
At first, she nonchalantly let her family handle it, but not long after...
It's only been about ten years, which is just the time it takes for a god to fall asleep...
That guy completely disregarded imperial law and brazenly ascended to godhood within her territory!
The scariest thing is...
He actually succeeded!!
It clearly comes from a lower dimension.
It's obvious that the soul is just an infant no more than a hundred years old.
Ascending to godhood in a star system with gods is undoubtedly a serious matter that could provoke a war of gods, and Alice doesn't believe that guy is unaware of such a thing.
Then, something even more frustrating happened to Alice.
After ascending to godhood, that guy directly established his divine realm in a place less than five light-years away from her divine realm!
This is blatant provocation!
Alice, filled with rage, led her Starfleet to his door, determined to teach that ignorant brat a lesson.
Who sets up their nest in front of someone's house? Can't you go somewhere further away?
The universe is so vast, and there aren't so many gods that they can't be spread across every galaxy. Where can't you go?!
Alice is a genius; to become a god, she could not possibly be mediocre.
To put it another way, even among the gods, she is exceptionally gifted.
In just three thousand years, it completed the "Mythic Codex" and entered the middle realm of the gods.
Despite all this, she couldn't even win over a guy who had just ascended to godhood!
Considering his terrifying rate of evolution, Alice knew that if she couldn't get rid of him as soon as possible, he might even seize her galaxy.
Kill?
Alice had never thought of this.
She is the goddess of fire and poetry, and cannot kill a god.
Only a very few battle fanatics study the divine nature of killing and possess the ability to God of Death.
Ah...
Damn it, that brat is such a lunatic!
Upon first meeting that brat, Alice sensed his divinity and the ability to God of Death!
This made Alice even more eager to get rid of him; no one could stand having a criminal-minded guy living nearby.
At the heart of the magnificent shrine is a circular swimming pool.
An elf with long ears rose from the pool, and a maid draped a robe over her.
She had long, fiery red hair and a face so beautiful that even the most learned scholar could not fully describe it.
"So, did that brat respond?"
Alice turned to ask the maid beside her, who was also one of her strongest guards.
The guard maid, also an elf, frowned and shook her head.
"Lady Yuna, there has been no response from the Mirror Realm."
Tui!
The goddess, so beautiful she was almost criminal, spat, which was completely unbecoming of her status.
"Keep broadcasting! Broadcast it three hundred times a day! Shut that brat down!"
The maid hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Um... Lady Yuna, all the broadcasting starships we sent out have been destroyed. There's a strange barrier surrounding the Mirror Realm, and we have no means of protection against those space-tearing slashes."
"... Has the space stabilization device requested from the Empire arrived yet?"
"No, the Empire... said... that you should handle it yourself. They have more important things to do now, and it's already a good thing they didn't summon you."
"Tch! Useless when it matters, what good is it for me to join this damn empire!"
"Lady Yuna! Be careful what you say!"
After a moment of silence, another maid spoke up, "Lady Yuna, that one has already ascended to godhood, and only you can deal with him. Our fleet does not possess the weaponry to threaten a god."
Alice scratched her head in distress. "I know... of course I know..."
"It's not like we haven't fought before, I just can't handle that brat!"
"They created some kind of the Mirror Realm, which is just a barren asteroid, yet they gave it a rather impressive-sounding name as Divine Kingdom."
"What the hell? There are so many star systems in the desolate universe, why would he choose to establish Divine Kingdom here of all places!"
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!"
"So annoying!!"
Alice grew angrier the more she thought about it, "Go get my magic weapon! I'm going to beat him up again!"
"If you don't leave, I'm going to contact the Goddess Mutual Aid Association!"
——
A planet called the Mirror Realm.
The entire planet was devoid of life, except for a structure built of giant stones that could barely be considered a dwelling.
On the platform beneath the boulder, there is an intricate and mysterious barrier array.
Kagami Uchiha sat on a stone chair outside the array diagram, propping his head up with one hand.
Not long after.
The spirit communication array lit up with a bright light.
In the light, Shisui, Sasuke, Naruto...
More and more people are moving from the virtual to the real, looking up at the primordial river that stretches for Limitless distances, with starlight shining upon them.
Every being that comes from a secondary dimension will be baptized by the stars and undergo a transformation!
Kagami Uchiha's lips curled slightly upward as he spoke calmly.
"This is the closest spacetime node to the Shinobi World that I found. I'm not very good at spacetime knowledge, Orochimaru, Minato, I'll find a few experts in this field for you."
"I need to develop the technology to teleport to planets as soon as possible. I want to use the Shinobi World to build Divine Kingdom."
"Yes, Mirror... Perhaps I should call you... God!"
Orochimaru was filled with fervor, feeling the miraculous changes happening to his body.
To put it in terms that people in the Shinobi World can understand better... he felt that as long as one is in such an environment for a long time, even an ordinary person can develop a physique comparable to that of the Uzumaki Clan!
Orochimaru was unaware that this planet was actually a desolate, unwanted planet.
Sudden.
A deafening roar erupted in the Sky Manipulation, and flames spread everywhere, obscuring all vision!
"Kagami Uchiha! Get out of here!!"
A sound came from above the sea of fire.
It's a woman's voice... Is it the one Jing mentioned?
Minato was curious and somewhat surprised.
Such Fire Release, capable of obscuring the entire Sky Manipulation, was beyond his comprehension.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Kagami Uchiha shook his head helplessly and got up from the stone chair.
"That guy's here, I'll go and deal with him."
"Honestly, I just borrowed her place to do some business. I didn't even pick a planet with people. It's just a deserted planet, why are you being so stingy?"
Tumultuous!!
Kagami Uchiha, dressed in a deep black robe, instantly ascended above the sea of fire and saw Alice Yuna fully armed.
"How many times do I have to tell you? I'll leave once I've finished my business. Aren't you annoyed?"
Alice's face was as cold as ice, and she said angrily, "Then tell me how long it will take!"
"Are you all grown taller but not smarter? Didn't I say I didn't know? It depends on the progress of the research below!"
Alice was so angry she laughed.
"This is just a delaying tactic of yours, trying to gradually encroach on my territory. Do you think I'm a fool?!"
"And..."
"How dare you insult me!"
With that, she raised her spear and thrust it forward!
Kagami Uchiha's eyelids opened and closed, and crimson light flickered in his eye sockets.
He raised his hand, and a blood-red, eerie slash erupted from his fingertips.

Severance Release - Great Crimson!!
"My new book is out, around 100,000 words. If you want to read it, you can wait until later. Don't just take a quick look and leave, or I'll cry."
There might be a little more side story...
