Another... Jiang Hao!

Uchiha Kei opened his eyes, looked at the waterfall in front of him, and slowly stood up.

Step.

According to another version of himself, he may soon face a formidable rival.

But the other version of him had already failed when faced with it.

Failure...

Very thorough.

Two steps.

Now, he will be the one to face this enemy.

And he...

What awaits us may be failure.

After all, even someone as powerful as him failed.

Can I... do it myself?

Three steps.

In the Waterfall of Truth, a shadowy figure is slowly reflected on the water.

Uchiha Kei's heart sank.

It's here!

Within the waterfall, the figure slowly approached, becoming increasingly clear as it was reflected in the curtain of water.

The figure parted the curtain of water, revealing its true form to Uchiha Kei.

"You've come."

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Uchiha Kei's.

Aside from the ever-present coldness on his face.

"They've arrived."

Uchiha Kei took a breath and took a few more steps forward, now only three steps away from the other version of himself.

Want to know the truth?

The other Uchiha Kei, with a cold expression, slowly opened his arms.

Uchiha Kei frowned, his heart pounding.

He understood.

Just three more steps.

He will learn the truth that has been troubling him.

But these three steps...

However, it was like an insurmountable chasm, making every step Uchiha Kei took incredibly difficult.

"Face what you have to face; you can't escape it."

Seeing that Uchiha Kei was moving slowly, the other man spoke in an extremely unfriendly tone.

"I know."

Uchiha Kei took a breath and took the final step.

The two figures gradually intertwined.

As the two figures merged into one, Uchiha Kei leaned back and lost consciousness.

"Attack! The final battle will begin tomorrow!"

I second that!

I second that!

I second that!

Uchiha Kei slowly opened his eyes, and the scene before him was no longer the Waterfall of Truth he had seen before.

It was not a palace, but a colossal one.

Inside the palace stood countless bizarre and enormous creatures.

These creatures are of various species and have different forms.

The only thing they have in common is that they all have a crescent-shaped halo behind their heads.

At this moment, their faces were filled with rage.

"Gentlemen, in this battle, victory is our only goal!"

At the very center of the palace stood a human figure with white hair and beard.

He was also incredibly tall, and his dignified face was filled with solemnity.

"We cannot afford to fail. You all understand the consequences if we do fail."

Inside the palace, all the creatures turned their gazes toward the human, their expressions solemn.

"We are the first line of defense, and we will also be the last."

Humanity looked around. "In the countless years before, we have lost too many comrades. They all sleep in this star field, waiting for us to send them home!"

The creatures below all bowed their heads in silence, their eyes filled with endless sorrow.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow we will welcome them back! Tomorrow! There will be no more war!"

"Welcome back our heroes! Farewell to the war!"

"Welcome back our heroes! Farewell to the war!"

"Welcome back our heroes! Farewell to war!"

Uchiha Kei stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, his mind reeling.

What happened?

What hero?

What war?

Who are these strange creatures?

Uchiha Kei remained silent, quietly observing everything around him.

He could sense that every creature here was surrounded by a terrifying aura.

This aura even surpassed that of his other self in the spiritual world!

These people...

Who exactly is it?

And he...

And why are they here?

The human reached out his hand, and the boiling creatures below instantly fell silent.

"Go back and prepare, give it your all, and get ready for tomorrow's battle."

One by one, the creatures vanished from the spot.

Uchiha Kei wanted to leave, but for some reason, he couldn't control his body.

"Jiang, you stay."

The human's gaze turned to Uchiha Kei, and he slowly spoke.

Uchiha Kei was taken aback.

Ginger?

It is in...

Call him?

"Yes."

Uchiha Kei was shocked to hear his own voice.

But he didn't say that!

The humans descended from the very center and slowly walked towards Uchiha Kei.

With each step he took, his body shrank a little.

When he reached Uchiha Kei, his body was no different from that of a normal human.

"Jiang, what are your thoughts on tomorrow's war?"

The human face showed neither joy nor sorrow, and the voice contained no emotional fluctuations.

What do I think?

I stood and watched...

Uchiha Kei muttered to himself, but his mouth was completely out of his control.

"We will ultimately triumph!"

His voice was excited yet devout, as if he had no doubt about the outcome of the victory.

Uchiha Kei sighed silently.

He understood the situation.

The Waterfall of Truth didn't transport him to a specific place, but rather placed him within a memory.

In his memories, he can see and feel.

But nothing can be changed.

Perhaps...

This is a memory from another Uchiha Kei, within the Waterfall of Truth.

I just don't know how he could have such memories?

The human didn't reply, but simply stared at him, his deep eyes seeming to shimmer like endless stars.

"Tomorrow..."

A long time.

"We will lose."

The human spoke in a low voice, his face remaining expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow.

"Defeat?"

The body of Uchiha Kei seemed quite surprised. "How could we possibly lose? Haven't we already found a way to defeat it?"

The human nodded slightly. "Yes, a method has been found."

"But we will still be defeated. I and my comrades will be forever lost in this star field!"

The body took a step back in disbelief, "No... this is impossible!"

Uchiha Kei felt a surge of terror coursing through his body.

This emotion seemed to be affecting him as well, causing him to involuntarily tense up.

The human looked up at the dome of the enormous palace, and countless scenes flashed before his eyes.

"It was worth it to find a way to defeat it at the cost of countless heroes' sacrifices."

Even if there were a way to defeat it, would we still lose?

My body and heart were filled with sorrow.

"Yes, we will still lose."

The human turned his head and looked at him.

"However... we were the ones who lost, not..."

"You!"

"Jiang Hao."

Uchiha Kei widened suddenly.

Jiang Hao!

He heard his name from his past life again!

Could it be...?

The current owner of this body...

His past life???!!
