A Strategy to Break the Stalemate

The effects of [True Future Sight] finally ended after a full twenty-nine minutes.

Natsume's consciousness returned to his main body.

To the center of the [Law-Disrupting Vortex] outside Demon Capital, where he was still making his breakthrough.

His three one-way long-range glimpses into the future had ended.

Although only a little over a minute had passed in reality, during that final [glimpse into the future]...

What Natsume had witnessed was simply impossible to describe.

[King Zhenruo's plan.]

[The Spiritual Godhood Ritual.]

The relationship between Otsutsuki Shibai and the [Progenitor True Gods].

The fall of the Yellow Spring Progenitor God and the source of the contamination.

[The three paths to True Godhood.]

Any one of those secrets, if revealed, would have been enough to shake the entire Otsutsuki Clan.

Of course, that was assuming they were all true...

What puzzled Natsume most was this: why had King Zhenruo told him so many astonishing secrets?

Was it merely because Natsume could [glimpse into the future], and King Zhenruo had taken the initiative to tell him in order to avoid trouble?

That reason simply did not hold up.

With that man's strength and foundation, even if he did not possess many methods against the [Law of Time], he definitely had some.

There was no way he was merely afraid of trouble...

Could it be that he had been bottling it up for thousands of years and simply could not resist spilling everything?

Or was he trying to persuade Natsume, recruit him, and make him abandon darkness for the light?

Or perhaps he had some other, deeper purpose?

In any case.

"Even 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows' isn't enough to describe King Zhenruo."

His level of cunning and shrewdness was probably beyond even that bastard Tobirama!

His schemes likely went far beyond
