Bai Sui is currently continuing to set up formations around the area while waiting to see how the opponent will escape from his seal.
Then it became apparent that more and more fishing lines were emerging from the mountain. Although the mountain was trying to heal itself under the influence of the Bai Sui's power, as more and more small holes were pierced and appeared at an increasingly faster rate, the balance between the two was gradually broken. Finally, a hole about half a fist's size was revealed on the mountain.
Then, Bai Sui saw countless Paper Crane glowing red fly out of the hole, which was about half the size of a fist. Interestingly, this Otsutsuki clan member's ninja tools and chakra were all bright red, which looked quite festive.
Seeing the Paper Crane fly out of the hole, Bai Sui did not try to intercept them. After all, this was a good way to buy time. He just watched as the Paper Crane flew out, gathered together, and turned back into chakra. Then, the chakra formed the Otsutsuki clansman.
" Bai Sui, your power truly intrigues me. You possess such immense strength without using chakra at all, and you can even mimic the characteristics of chakra. Not only that, but you were also able to guide the Ninja World to develop so many extraordinary systems in less than a century."
Although they are not as powerful as those with chakra, they each have their own strengths. To be honest, if you hadn't blocked our Ōtsutsuki Clan's path to godhood, I would really have been willing to be your friend." The Otsutsuki clansman said this after he appeared.
Bai Sui smiled and said, "Making friends? Then I wonder if you could stop plundering the life energy of other planets?"
To be honest, I don't know much about the process of your Ōtsutsuki Clan's plundering of the God Tree. So I'm a little curious, when your God Tree converts chakra, does it plunder anything besides Natural Energy?
If you don't know how, why do you insist on draining all the Natural Energy from a planet all at once?
Why not adopt a more selective approach, like harvesting crops or letting nature take its course, absorbing some of the Natural Energy and then giving the planet time to recover before absorbing the rest?
Anyway, your clan has strong vitality and long lifespan, and even the growth cycle of the God Tree is long.
Since you don't care that much about time, why not place a God Tree on each planet, and then preferably control the absorption rate of the God Tree to be slower?
Wouldn't it be better to absorb life energy and convert it into chakra without affecting the overall life processes of that planet?
Even if the absorption rate is slowed down, making it impossible to cultivate a mature Chakra Fruit within a thousand years, we can simply extend the time to two thousand, three thousand, or even five thousand years.
After all, based on what I learned from Otsutsuki Kaguya, although it only takes you a thousand years to cultivate a Chakra Fruit, it takes you a long time to search for life and planets in the universe. Finding a planet with life within a few thousand years is already considered lucky, since some Otsutsuki clan members have never been able to find a suitable planet with life.
From what I understand, your Ōtsutsuki Clan has obtained hundreds of Chakra Fruit over the past hundreds of thousands of years, which means that you have destroyed hundreds of planets that had already given birth to life.
If you really calculate the time involved, you'll find that such destructive plundering doesn't seem to be very worthwhile.
I believe that when you search for life-bearing planets in the universe, you must have discovered many planets that have some suitability for life, but which have no life at all.
Since you possess such formidable power, why not transform this planet into a truly habitable environment, and then transplant various life forms from other planets to allow them to thrive?
If it's feasible, wouldn't that be equivalent to you creating a method to harvest Chakra Fruit indefinitely? After all, waiting for the fruits to mature at a fixed point is much better than scattering your entire clan across the universe, aimlessly searching for life-bearing planets that your clan will eventually slaughter.
Furthermore, based on our experiments and observations in the Ninja World, it seems that the life energy needed to synthesize chakra does not necessarily require human or animal life forms.
Even plants, fungi, or algae contain a certain amount of life energy. Although the amount of life energy they contain is very small, when the quantity reaches a certain level, they can still provide a huge amount of life energy.
Furthermore, if it were just fungi or algae, their required living environment would be even simpler. With the strength of your Ōtsutsuki Clan, wouldn't cultivating them be a piece of cake?
Use all habitable planets in the universe as your petri dishes, cultivate the life you need on them, and then harvest the Chakra Fruit stored on them at fixed times and locations.
In this way, although it may require a lot of manpower in the early stages and there may not be enough returns, your clan has already almost achieved immortality.
"If you really do that, you'll probably have an endless supply of Chakra Fruit in just a few hundred thousand years."
"Sigh," Bai Sui sighed, "You still seem somewhat indifferent to my words. Did I say something wrong?"
Could it be that the Chakra Fruit requires absorbing all the life energy of an entire planet to be formed? Or is there some secret I don't understand?
The Otsutsuki clansman straightened his clothes and said, "Let me introduce myself first. After all, although I know you, you don't know me, right?"
My name is Urashiki Otsutsuki, and as you can see, I am a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. And I must say, you are not wrong.
Our Ōtsutsuki Clan's God Tree truly only requires a sufficiently large amount of life energy to bear mature Chakra Fruit, and it does not limit the amount of life energy needed, nor does it care what kind of life it comes from.
However, compared to the laborious process of nurturing life and protecting its reproduction, we, the Ōtsutsuki Clan, prefer to obtain everything we desire through our own power.
After all, we are born with such great power, unlike you who have to cultivate through your own efforts. We have always used the abilities we were born with.
If that's the case, why don't we act according to our own desires?
However, to be honest, the clan doesn't care about your plan to obtain countless Chakra Fruit in the future. After all, what we need is not to have them later, but to create a god belonging to our Ōtsutsuki Clan in the shortest possible time.
With our God, cultivating life on suitable planets, or even nurturing life on all stars, is merely a thought from God.
All I can say is that you simply don't understand the power God possesses. It's your limited understanding that restricts your thinking. You have no idea what a great thing we are doing.
Of course, on the other hand, I personally acknowledge your wisdom, Bai Sui. After all, what you came up with is indeed a feasible plan. It's just that the timing of this plan is wrong. If it had been proposed at the very beginning of our search for Chakra Fruit, we might have agreed to it.
But it will definitely not be now, because our God is about to be born, and time does not allow us to wait any longer, nor does it allow us to waste unnecessary time on such basic work as nurturing life."
Seeing this, Bai Sui shook his head. There was nothing that could be done; after all, these were thoughts from different periods within different civilization systems.
"Forget it, there's no way to force you to understand this. Since you're willing to use power to get everything you want, there's nothing I can do about it."
However, since we cannot reach an agreement on this matter, it means that you are determined to turn Earth, the entire planet, into Chakra Fruit, making a battle between us inevitable.
"In that case, let the battle begin!"
Bai Sui's goal of stalling for time has been achieved. According to his calculations, after such a long delay, Urashiki Otsutsuki will probably have no way to use his eye technique to rewind time to before he set up the entire array.
So they stopped wasting words and took action. As the Bai Sui Formation unfolded, the half of the meteorite where everyone was located was now completely enveloped by the formation.
The reason for having such a large area is out of necessity. Firstly, Natural Energy in the universe is slightly thinner than on Earth. Although it is still usable, the amount of Natural Energy needed to deal with an enemy like the Otsutsuki is absolutely indispensable. If the formation is set up too small, he is afraid that the absorption rate of Natural Energy will not be able to keep up.
Another point is that at their level, any battle will have a large-scale impact. To put it simply, take the Tengai Shinsei used by Madara Uchiha. Because this meteorite had no atmosphere to protect it, its power and effects would only be more terrifying.
Interestingly, this was the first time Bai Sui had been exposed to space for such a long time. Through his divine sense, he was able to clearly feel the various particles in the universe and the sensations as they passed through his body.
Sometimes, if those particles happen to hit his nerves, Bai Sui feels like fireworks are going off in his brain, which is a completely new experience.
The reason for suddenly bringing up particles in this universe is that Bai Sui just suddenly sensed a scene in his Inner Landscape. The scene was extremely shocking: a huge bubble suddenly appeared on a star.
As the bubble burst, it released a large number of charged ions, which were hurtling toward the meteorite where Bai Sui and the others were located at a speed of 500 kilometers per second. This situation could perhaps be described as a stellar wind.
On Earth, thanks to the protection of the atmosphere and magnetic field, even if these charged particles hit the Earth, they would only present a magical and magnificent aurora.
However, the meteorite on which they were currently located had no air and almost no magnetic field, even though they were all practically immortal.
However, Bai Sui Bai Sui believes that directly confronting the stellar wind with one's own body is an unwise move, since even the sporadic particles that had previously penetrated his body had given him a very clear sensation.
If a large number of charged particles were to appear in his brain in a short period of time, Bai Sui really couldn't imagine what would happen. It wouldn't be like setting off fireworks, but rather like launching a missile directly into his brain.
Therefore, for his own safety, Bai Sui decided to end the battle as soon as possible, at least before the stellar wind arrived, either by escaping to the very center of the meteorite or by hiding directly in his personal space.
In order to prevent the Urashiki Otsutsuki from escaping, Bai Sui must now deal with him before the stellar wind arrives, while simultaneously allowing him to rewind time multiple times.
"Wind, fire."
As the grand formation truly began to operate, all the surrounding Natural Energy converged here. Although there was no air above this meteorite, the so-called wind at this moment was not actually the movement of air, but rather the movement itself.
As a result, a visible vortex arose around Urashiki Otsutsuki, which contained not air, but various unknown substances, including spatial turbulence.
Immediately following was a sky full of fire, the fire fueled by the wind, and the wind intensified the fire. Neither the wind nor the fire was simulated by chakra, but existed in the real material world.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of Natural Energy or from their own material and energy attributes, they cannot be directly absorbed by the Rinnegan of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
" Shinra Tensei!" Urashiki Otsutsuki immediately unleashed his eye technique, temporarily blowing the wind and fire away from his side.
Previously unnoticed, but upon closer inspection, Bai Sui realized that Urashiki Otsutsuki's eyes were Byakugan, and there was no additional Rinnegan on his forehead.
However, he can switch between his Byakugan and the blue Rinnegan, or he can switch between his red Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
