A Meeting with a Big Shot (Fifth Update)

Ren was like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, amazed by everything she saw.

Orochimaru next door wasn't doing much better; Ren was only focused on the orchard, Orochimaru didn't want to miss a single spot.

They even dug up the soil on the ground to investigate it.

After some exploration, Orochimaru discovered that the source of the Natural Energy in the room was this seemingly ordinary soil.

Unfortunately, despite Orochimaru's extensive research, he was unable to uncover the secret.

The generational gap is simply too great; in the Shinobi World, Orochimaru is undoubtedly the number one.

But in this era, even the smartest brain is useless.

Before Konoha revealed their purpose, Hidden Sand Village couldn't guess what Konoha was planning.

The technological gap between Orochimaru and the people in this room is many times greater than the gap between Hidden Sand Village and Konoha.

In Orochimaru's eyes, the room itself was no different from a miracle.

Inside the ship's control room, the captain and several others cautiously observed everything that was happening in the room.

Hours earlier, less than ten minutes after the captain's special request was submitted to the Star Alliance's Five Pillars Council.

A special investigation team then boarded the ship.

Seeing the arrival of these important figures, the captain reaffirmed his choice.

"Interesting, they really don't look like people from our time."

"Their behavior also aligns with psychological and behavioral models established based on historical records."

"But all of this could be an act!"

"That's why I came, precisely to determine if they are genuine or not!"

"Your Majesty, won't you observe further? It might be a trap!"

"This universe, for me, has no traps!"

"I apologize, Your Majesty, I misspoke!"

A brief conversation between four or five people was heard in the monitoring room.

The master of this place, the captain of this ship, didn't dare to breathe loudly, and just listened quietly.

The person referred to as His Majesty is one of the Five Pillars of the Star Alliance Five Pillars Council.

The Five Pillars refer to the five deities of the Star Alliance.

This is ultimately a world of extraordinary power; without external interference, those with strength will ultimately hold power.

The newcomer may not be the strongest among the Five Pillars, but he is the oldest.

An extremely powerful being who emerged from humanity's home planet, and the only person in this universe to have had close contact with the dragon Dragon Vein, the source of spacetime energy.

Age 6000+!

Ren had already finished picking the peaches and found that there was neither a warning nor a punishment.

So, emboldened, he began to wreak havoc on the apple trees.

Suddenly, Ren sensed something was wrong and turned his head slightly.

He noticed an old man looking at him with a smile.

Although the old man's hair and beard were all white, his skin was incredibly smooth and delicate.

The reason Ren thought he was an old man, rather than a punk, was mainly because his eyes were incredibly deep, as if they were filled with the vastness of time and the universe.

Compared to the Sage of Six Paths whom Ren had seen before arriving here, his eyes were much more profound.

Although completely bewildered, looking at the incredibly stylish old man in front of him, Ren guessed that he was probably an important figure in this world.

This room, including these trees, might belong to someone else.

But who is Ren? Awkwardness is not a thing for him.

"Grandpa, would you like an apple?"

Ren, equally smiling, innocently handed over the apple.

One of the Five Pillars of the Star Alliance, looking at the apple handed to him, paused for a moment with a smile, then broke into an even brighter one.

"Sure, I haven't had this in years!"

The moment the old man's smile blossomed, Ren felt the world brighten a little.

It was a feeling that came out of nowhere, as if the smile on the other side held immense significance for Ren.

In just a split second, Ren mentally labeled him an old monster.

This guy's a big shot, the kind you don't want to mess with!

When the old man took a bite of the apple, Ren immediately took out an apple and started eating it too.

Although Ren picked a lot of fruit, he didn't taste a single one.

After all, when you're under someone else's roof, it's better to keep a low profile.

However, after the old man ate it, Ren didn't stand on ceremony; he had been craving these things for a long time.

Several hours? Isn't that a long time?

The moment he ate the apple, Ren could feel his internal energy increase slightly—not much, but definitely present.

In particular, Ren can use this newly grown essence.

Filled with curiosity, Ren used this wisp of true essence to try and sense what the old man in front of him was made of.

Ren's actions did not escape the old man's notice, and he smiled as he dispelled the concealment spell within his body.

Then Ren stayed in Bengbu. This old guy was completely beyond Ren's imagination.

If the Sage of Six Paths I sensed before my journey was an endless ocean, then the old man before me is an endless universe.

This completely shattered Ren's understanding; the Sage of Six Paths would probably be crushed by a single finger in front of this old guy.

After the initial shock, Ren looked at the other person's meaningful gaze and realized that his little trick had probably already been seen through.

Ren immediately flashed a bright smile.

"Grandpa, are the apples delicious? I also have some peaches, why don't you try some!"

What kind of strongest Shinobi World, a god walking on the land of the Shinobi World? At this moment, Ren is just a child who can only pretend to be stupid and cute.

Like a clown.

This is the survival strategy of the weak; it may be shameful, but it's effective.

"Of course, would you mind listening to me tell you a story about humanity while we eat, Ren...?"

The old man was unaffected by Ren's behavior and decided to get down to business. After a slight hesitation, he still used a respectful title for Ren.

Clearly, the old man had confirmed Ren's identity.

Otherwise, Ren would never have been able to find the old man, and all he would have faced was destruction or complete sealing away.

Ren knew the real drama was about to begin and could no longer play dumb.

If he could, Ren would want to keep pretending to be stupid forever.

Knowing he had no chance of refusing, Ren's face broke into a bright smile again as he answered affirmatively.

"My pleasure!"
