I'm Very Fair

Madara snapped out of his daze.

Staring at Natsume, he asked with a complicated expression:

"You brat, you've already broken through to [Demigod]?"

Clearly, Madara's main concern was still strength.

From the description just now, Natsume's experiences and achievements during this period had been nothing short of grand and tumultuous!

He was either on the road to a breakthrough or in the midst of fierce battles against Demigods...

Several [Demigods] had already fallen at this brat's hands...

Compared to that, he, an esteemed ancestor, had actually fallen so far behind a junior.

Proud as Madara was, he naturally found it hard to accept, unwilling to resign himself to it...

He had even been smug over his own little bit of progress just moments ago.

How embarrassing!

"Yeah!"

Seeing Natsume admit it himself, Madara was even more secretly shocked. He immediately said:

"I don't care about that expedition to the [New Starfield] or whatever."

"You and Izuna can handle the arrangements and communications. I'll just be responsible for killing."

"Also, how exactly did you advance to [Demigod]?"

"Tell me the method!"

Natsume raised a brow and deliberately teased him with a smile.

"So that's what you care about?"

"It's very simple. Breaking through to [Demigod]—whoosh, and it's done."

"Ancestor, don't tell me you lack confidence in yourself?"

Madara: "..."

"I'm asking about the method, not whether it's simple!"

Natsume burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"Just kidding."

"Advancing to [Demigod] really isn't difficult. For you, there are only two steps."

"First: reach the peak of [Pseudo-God], what we usually call the peak of [Six Paths]."

"Second: master a complete [Divine Art], or rather, a complete authority over a law."

Madara fell silent again. "..."

How was that any different from talking nonsense?

Like eating a meal—did he need Natsume to teach him that?
